Chapter 103: My Suggestion is to Plunder Others

“Can we only get it from there?” Luo Sheng asked instinctively.

Dr. Jack tapped his pipe, wiping off the paint, and said, “That base has quite a few mechanical equipment and even research instruments. At least you won’t lose out if you go there once.”

Luo Sheng countered, “You want me to strengthen the armed forces of Red Star Town, don’t you?”

Dr. Jack nodded without hesitation, “Mm, after all, you have that capability, and Red Star Town needs you.”

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Given the current situation, he was considered hostile to the Earth Alliance, especially with the NASDAQ Group, with whom he had an antagonistic relationship.

Therefore, it was basically impossible to return to Detroit, let alone enter Sky City to help Alice recover her memories.

The best option now was to use the Resistance organization to completely overthrow the Alliance while fulfilling Alice’s memory requirements.

Similarly, strengthening Red Star Town’s power would allow him to have Dr. Jack improve his mecha in the future, and even Alice’s future weapons and equipment would need him. This was what Luo Sheng relied on the most.

“Make a list of the things you need most, and I’ll help you find them,” Luo Sheng said, rubbing his head.

Dr. Jack glanced at him, casually taking out a piece of paper to write while saying, “Take care of your body. Young people should practice restraint. You’ll understand when you’re older.”

“Uh…”

Luo Sheng wanted to argue.

Just then, Dr. Jack took out a bottle of brown vodka from the drawer, “This stuff is not bad, added some herbs, very nourishing. Reluctantly letting you try it.”

Good grief! This is looking down on me, Fatty Tiger.

Luo Sheng was about to righteously refuse, but his hand involuntarily unscrewed the bottle cap and started gulping it down.

“Good liquor!”

Dr. Jack watched him, taking a few puffs of his pipe, “Of course. There’s more vodka at Melon Base, and rum too.”

Then he handed the list to him and left.

Alice had recuperated well and left Dr. Jack’s house with Luo Sheng to attend the Red Star Town meeting.

She had now been promoted to platoon commander, so she needed to attend the meeting.

Just as they reached the meeting door, Anastasia looked at Alice puzzledly and couldn’t help asking, “You’re better?”

“Mm, I’m fine now,” Alice said casually.

“Really okay? I was thinking of giving you a few days off.”

“Thanks, I’m really fine.”

Seeing Alice return to her usual self,

Anastasia looked at Luo Sheng strangely, as if smelling the strong alcohol on him.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, “Is this Dr. Jack’s medicinal wine?”

“Hm? You’ve had it before?” Luo Sheng was stunned and asked back.

“He used to sell it, specifically for men who weren’t very capable,” Anastasia explained briefly, then seemed to understand something, glancing at Alice and Luo Sheng.

Finally, her gaze locked onto Luo Sheng with a strange look, “Young people should practice restraint. It’s not good for Alice to get pregnant too early. We still have many tasks at hand that need manpower.”

“Cough cough!” Luo Sheng coughed violently.

Alice tilted her head, looking at her and Luo Sheng, obviously not understanding much about pregnancy.

Although she had been sealed for 50 years, older than everyone present, her memory and consciousness were still that of a child.

Today’s meeting.

Originally, it was just a regular military meeting of the Red Star Town Resistance organization.

Now it had become a post-war meeting.

“After the statistics, our side has 68 casualties, 103 injured…”

“Our personnel captured enemy humanoid mechs…”

“Our personnel captured 41 enemy regular soldiers, 21 mercenaries…”

In the past, during post-war meetings after battles between the Resistance organization and the Alliance or NASDAQ Group, the atmosphere was usually grim, with reports mostly about the organization’s casualties.

However, in today’s post-war report, many people had smiles on their faces.

Although the organization’s casualties were not small, their war gains were very substantial. They had almost captured the equipment of an entire battalion of enemy regular troops. Except for the completely destroyed patrol helicopters on the battlefield, the rest could be used with minor repairs.

Especially, they had also captured a command and communication fortress vehicle.

Anastasia asked, “Can that command vehicle be decrypted?”

A statistician replied, “Yes, Dr. Jack can crack the system inside.”

“What about other equipment?”

“No problem with everything else. Except for the helicopters that can’t be repaired, other mechs can be put into battle immediately after maintenance.”

The statistician answered Anastasia’s questions one by one.

Luo Sheng also learned a lot from this military meeting.

Red Star Town had a population of over 50,000, but the Resistance organization’s armed forces were only a reinforced battalion of about 3,000 people. Although the number was not small, the equipment was scarce.

Not only was the armament level low, but the quality of the troops was also uneven, mainly due to lack of funds and equipment for training.

They couldn’t afford to be as extravagant as the Alliance army with daily meat feasts and abundant ammunition for training.

After all, the Red Star Town Resistance organization had just been established recently and lacked everything. Even the internal procedures and functional divisions of the organization hadn’t been straightened out, so the organization was very immature.

Moreover, the connection between branches and headquarters was quite loose, with a bit of a flavor of fighting their own battles. If you could survive, the organization would recognize you; if not, then it was fate.

So in the eyes of the Alliance, they were no different from a group of bandits.

Suddenly, a platoon commander laughed heartily, “We finally don’t have to take crap from the Alliance army anymore. They have battle vehicles and mechs, and now we have them too! When the time comes, we’ll see who wins in a fight!”

Hearing this, others also laughed heartily.

But Anastasia poured cold water on them:

“This is just a regular battalion in the Alliance army, which can also be classified as a light battalion. We still have a long way to go if we want to face them head-on, so don’t let temporary victory go to your heads.”

Anastasia had once served in the Alliance army, so she was very familiar with the strength of the Alliance army.

Others frowned upon hearing this.

The meeting became somewhat heavy again.

“Don’t we have Deputy Captain Luo?”

At this time, that platoon commander smiled and said, “I, Levette, admire him the most in my life. He turned the tide of battle as soon as he arrived. He’s completely the war god of Red Star Town.”

“I totally agree.”

“Indeed, if not for him, Red Star Town would no longer exist today.”

The meeting returned to its lively atmosphere. Anastasia helplessly covered her face, feeling quite a headache. She could still see some bandit spirit in these people.

After all, most members of the Resistance organization were formerly bandits who had reformed, but they still carried a bandit aura.

Then she said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s discuss the future development of Red Star Town.”

“Continue to eliminate bandits and gangs, confiscate their weapons and supplies,” Levette said, still the same as usual.

“Agreed.”

The others’ answers were no different.

A large number of weapons and equipment in Red Star Town were basically obtained through bandit suppression.

After all, the town was not an industrial area and had no ability to produce weapons. They could only obtain them through smuggling and confiscation.

Seeing everyone’s lack of fighting spirit, Anastasia shook her head helplessly, but given the current strength of the town, they could indeed only engage in “black eating black”.

Then she looked at Alice.

Alice had just become a platoon commander yesterday, and she was just sitting in the meeting room in a daze with the title of commander.

This girl was first-class in combat, but completely useless in other abilities, simply a one-dimensional warrior.

Finally, she stared at Luo Sheng, “You should speak too.”

“Me?” Luo Sheng was stunned.

“Yes, you made the greatest contribution in this battle, so you have the right to speak,” Anastasia said solemnly.

“That’s right. Although you’re only a deputy captain, your status is definitely higher than us old hands,” Levette said as well.

“Exactly…”

Others agreed.

Seeing everyone’s enthusiastic appearance, Luo Sheng was stunned, obviously unable to refuse.

“Alright, I’ll just say a few words briefly,” Luo Sheng nodded helplessly.

Then he said, “I think we should promote the strategy of surrounding the cities from the rural areas, and develop our own industrial level while the enemy is… The struggle with the Alliance is, in simple terms, a war of people’s war and industrialization level.”

He originally just wanted to secretly go to Melon City-State to steal the mechanical mother machine, but now that the meeting had come to this point, he might as well go with the flow.

At this moment, Luo Sheng’s words immediately stunned everyone.

It felt like he was the one with foresight, even Anastasia nodded in agreement.

And she asked, “So what’s your plan?”

“Plunder the Melon Alliance military base,” Luo Sheng said casually.

Everyone: “???”
