284. Independent Group

Starlight Rest Station is actually a drive-in movie theater. There is a very flat parking lot, and there are not many cars parked in it. In front of the parking lot, there is a very large projection wall, and on the other side is a three-story building, which contains a fast food restaurant and staff offices.

The solution here is simple enough that a few homeless and scavengers who were about to make the staff office their new home were attacked by a gang of marauders. Although they desperately resisted and repelled a wave of attacks, the few remaining ammunition had almost been consumed.

So these scavengers asked the Volunteer Army for help through the radio, hoping to get assistance when the predators attacked next time.

There were only about 20 looters who were staring at this place. They should have been driven out from other places, and their equipment was very simple, and some even held iron bars. It took no effort to get rid of these people, and even Chun Yuyan didn't even have the interest to do it, so he happily went to get rid of these people one by one.

To be honest, this task made Chunyuyan very depressed, because it was obviously not a difficult task, but when I thought about it, it seemed that only I or Knight could really do it. Because if it was replaced by other members of the Volunteer Army, facing more than 20 predators, there might be losses, which would be a big blow to the new Volunteer Army.

Just give Preston a favor, Chun Yuyan thought so.

He wants the scavengers here to go to the sheltered hills, who knows that they don't want to go, and think it's good to be here. Chunyuyan originally wanted to chase him away, but then he gave up after wandering around here.

For nothing else, it is the huge projection wall. This wall is actually a flat building, at least 30 meters high, and can go up to the top floor. Although the place is a little narrow and the wind is strong, as long as a few snipers are deployed here, this commanding height is enough to control the surrounding area of ​​one or two kilometers!

Thinking of this, Chunyuyan let these scavengers continue to live here. He also gave them all the weapons left by the looters to strengthen their firepower, and invited them to join the Volunteer Army. Having received his consent, he returned to Preston at Sanctuary Hills.

"It has been resolved? Great! As we help the residents of the Federation more and more, the Volunteer Army will re-enter everyone's attention!" Preston said very excitedly.

Chunyuyan nodded, and asked, "Is Knight back?"

Preston pointed to a large pile of garbage piled up next to him and said, "He came back yesterday, left this pile of things behind, and said he was going to Lexington to see if there was any news about his son."

Chunyuyan looked over, and there was everything in that pile of garbage. Circuit boards, parts, tape, toy cars, globes, cameras, just about anything you can think of, it's there. Chunyuyan even saw two teddy bears inside!

Sturges is leading two villagers to sort out the rubbish, but judging from their expressions, the rubbish seems to be useful. Useful things can be disassembled from the inside, and then used to assemble some tools.

It's just...Chun Yuyan felt a bit of a headache, how did Knight bring back so much rubbish?

As if understanding his question, Preston said: "Nate went to the Red Rocket maintenance station to move back a gantry used for repairing power armor, and found a lot of usable steel and parts. Sturges and He repaired that T-45A power armor together, and then he went to find a fusion core with about 45% energy, and then went out in the power armor. Moving these things was no problem."

Chunyuyan looked at the pile of garbage again, thinking that this Knight's mobility is really boundless. He then said to Preston: "I took a look at the Starlight Rest Station when I passed by. The giant projection wall there is a very good commanding height. If a few snipers can be deployed on it, the range of several kilometers around is It can be brought under our control.”

Preston nodded and replied: "So that wall can be climbed? If so, we must consider the importance of the Starlight Rest Station. As long as we have enough manpower, we will give priority to developing there. "

"There is another question. How did your Volunteer Army expand its personnel? And how do you ensure the loyalty of your personnel? What if someone just enjoys the benefits brought by the Volunteer Army but is unwilling to undertake the corresponding obligations?" Chunyuyan asked. Questions in mind.

"Actually, we didn't have the problems you mentioned before. Because the Volunteer Army is relatively loose, people who join it rely on their own enthusiasm. We used to communicate through Radio Liberty to help every resident in need. , for free. So, even if some people only enjoy our protection, but are unwilling to protect others, it doesn’t matter, the big deal is that they can’t be our companions.” Preston replied.

"Then if this is the case, the Volunteer Army really can't exist for too long, nor can it become a stronger organization, don't you think so?" Chunyuyan asked.

Preston sighed softly: "I did think so, perhaps it is because we don't have stricter rules and regulations that traitors like Clint appear in our team. However, I also do It's hard to imagine what would happen if we needed paid help to federal residents."

He thought for a while, then suddenly changed the subject and said to Chun Yuyan, "I still hope you can join the Volunteer Army."

As he said that, he looked at Chunyuyan's expression, and immediately added: "It's not what you imagined, I want to re-establish an army other than the Volunteer Army. Let's call it the Independent Regiment. This independent regiment will be led by you , and as a full-time combat unit of the Volunteer Army."

"What's the point?" Chunyuyan asked back.

"Of course." Preston said seriously: "I can see that although you are not a bad person, you definitely don't mind killing. In the past, people like you would not be accepted by the Volunteer Army. But Now, after the painful lessons of the Quincy massacre, I realize that the old Zouaves may not really work the old way.

So... I hope you can add your values ​​to the independent regiment and add a sense of iron and blood to the Volunteer Army. And not always..."

"Is it wrong?" Chunyuyan replied.

"That's right." Preston smiled wryly.

"Independent regiment..." Chunyuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the sky, "Our supplies are not enough to support such a professional army at all."

"The Volunteer Army will fully cooperate with your actions. In fact, the Volunteer Army still has some prestige in the Federation. This is accumulated by helping the residents in the past few decades. There are many residents who are willing to join the Volunteer Army and accept protection. So don't We're shorthanded right now, but we'll be back in no time," Preston said.

Chunyuyan also made up his mind, "Okay, I'll join. Then, let's set up the factory in Sanctuary Hill first!"
