The city of Nanfunia is not as big as Baoyue City, and the temple is much less magnificent than that of Baoyue City.
Lu Ming led William and a dozen rangers into the city. However, these rangers were all members of the resistance organization selected by William.
Cameron, the branch chief who controls the first region, is actually the real boss of the southern region. The governor of Hunhuoluo, Kant, is like a filial son and grandson in front of Cameron. Luther, the commander of the National Defense Force stationed here, is also under the control of Cameron. It can be seen from his military rank that Luther is a colonel and Cameron is a brigadier general.
Just like in Baoyue City, Lu Ming is Major and Captain Blaise is Captain.
As for the commander of the security forces, Owen, nicknamed Owen Luo by the people, he was originally a subordinate of Kant, so he could not even talk to the Sonyans.
There are fifteen sub-districts in the southern region. Lu Ming's third district is the largest, and the fourth district is the second largest. These two districts are larger than the other thirteen districts combined, but in terms of transportation environment, these two districts are also the most remote areas. For example, the third district, the effective control area is now only a little bit around Baoyue City, plus seven or eight isolated towns with artillery towers, which are the slightly larger city-state towns in the southernmost city-state that originally revered King Baoyue as the main ruler.
Therefore, although the third district has the largest territory, Sonya's top leaders originally planned to just maintain Baoyue City. It didn't even matter if some artillery towers were lost. After the rebellion in the northwest, where the rebels were the strongest, was suppressed, they would then concentrate their efforts on suppressing the resistance here.
The leaders of the organizations that first controlled the fifteen divisions all had military ranks of major. When Lu Ming temporarily took over, his rank was captain. Since he had made contributions, it was natural for him to be promoted to major.
The first control meeting was held at the New Fornia Hotel in the form of a tea party. Cameron looked like an approachable old man and even performed a tap dance.
But in the eyes of the resistance army, he is an absolute big devil with cruel methods. He once directly massacred three villages.
Everyone talked about local experiences and their experiences in local governance.
Lu Ming used the excuse that he had just arrived and spent most of the time listening.
"Bit, I'm a little confused after reading your report on the Baoriluo intelligence station..." The old man sat next to Lu Ming and smiled, "You said that you noticed that the boss of the herbal tea shop had calluses on his hands and suspected that he was a soldier. In fact, how many of the locals here don't have calluses on their hands?"
Lu Ming seemed a little uncomfortable, and stammered, "The calluses from long-term use of guns and the calluses from doing work are still, still different..."
The old man laughed and said, "That's true." He patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and went back to talk to someone else.
Lu Ming felt a little relieved. Actually, at this point in time, it was impossible for this leader Nacui to suspect that he was a member of the resistance force. His reaction only confirmed his suspicion. He was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. As for the details, he was not interested in knowing them.
…
The New Fornia Hotel, located near the train station, is the earliest modern-style hotel in Hungry Wolf City. It was originally a small two-story hotel. In the past few decades, with the discovery of oil fields, the economy of the Oil City and the areas along the railway in the Western Regions have been getting better and better. The hotel has been expanded to five floors. The owner is a Gede, who was sent directly to a concentration camp by Cameron, and the hotel has become the asset that First Control has.
As the Sonyans gradually gained control of the Western Regions, a large number of merchants from the Kingdom of Sonya also followed them into the Western Regions. The hotel had long private rooms for Western merchants of Sonya nationality.
The first control directors of each division were arranged to stay at the New Fortune Hotel. Lu Ming stayed in room 411, a standard room with twin beds. According to Cameron's request, wherever possible, the funds should be saved, so the directors all shared a room with two people.
The person who shared a room with Lu Ming was the director of the Fourth District, Henry, a young major in his twenties, with a dissolute demeanor and a playboy-like demeanor.
The governance environments of the Third and Fourth Districts are similar. Both are extremely vast marginal areas, larger than the other thirteen districts combined, but the effective control areas are just a few isolated towns.
Cameron's arrangement naturally allows them to exchange experiences with each other.
But Hendry obviously didn't have such an idea. After the meeting, he returned to the room and got a few cans of beer and snacks. He chatted with Lu Ming about each other's families, asked Lu Ming whether he was married or not, and mentioned that he had two military companions, both of whom were local Western Region beauties, of aristocratic birth, and both were very beautiful.
Then he sighed, "Son of a bitch, I heard that there used to be call girls in this hotel, but since it became our organization's hotel, there has been less and less entertainment!"
Apparently, he was used to the luxurious life in his own area of the Fourth District and couldn't sleep without a woman.
When coming to South Funia for the meeting, naturally none of these directors dared to bring their military companions.
But as he said, he did not force anyone, and the two noble women from the Western Regions followed him voluntarily.
Hendry winked and said, "Bit, have you noticed that General Cameron's secretary is pretty good?"
Lu Ming spread his hands without commenting.
"I'll call her and ask her out, we'll go out for a drink." Hendry did what he said and really picked up the phone and dialed.
The secretary was responsible for arranging food and lodging for the directors, and she also left her phone number so that they could contact her directly if they had any questions.
After a few words, Hendry turned around and said with a smile: "She will be here soon."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "How are you going to end it now? There's no musty smell in our room." He could clearly hear Hendry saying on the phone that the room smelled too musty and it gave him a headache, so he wanted to change rooms.
"Let's talk about it when you come!" Hendry laughed, and then said to Lu Ming, "I will take her down today, do you believe it? If you transfer her to my place as a secretary, I won't need those two old women anymore! She is enough for me!"
After a while, the doorbell rang and Hendry jumped up to open the door.
The female major Sonia who came in from outside was actually the same type as Captain Mary whom Lu Ming knew back then. She was indeed very beautiful, and her cascading blonde hair made her look extremely sexy, but she was a little fuller and slightly thinner than Mary. Her legs were thinner than Mary's elephant legs, but still slightly rounder. In addition, she had super big breasts and a fat buttocks, which were obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only boxers and athletes could match her.
Hendry's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Miss Candice, is there any fun bar here? Could you introduce it to us? I wonder if I would be honored to buy you a drink."
Candice smiled coquettishly, "Director Hendry, the bars are all in the city center, too far from here. I'm afraid you'll have too much fun and miss the welcome party tomorrow morning, and Minister Cameron will be unhappy. Let's do it tomorrow. If you can stay one more day, I'd like to be your guide."
Hendry came over, lifted a strand of her golden hair and brought it to his nose, sniffed it greedily, and said with a smile: "It smells good!"
Candice's expression changed slightly, she took a step back and said, "Director Hendry, if there is nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Don't go!" Hendry stood in front of the door and said with a smile, "Then let's have a few drinks here." He said to Lu Ming, "Bit, my good brother, can you go to the front desk and ask why our room smells musty?"
"Director Hendry, your father is General Hendry, whom I respect very much. I hope he is also a role model for you." Candice said calmly.
"You look better when you're angry!" Hendry chuckled and reached out to pinch her face.
Lu Ming was already ready to leave. They could do whatever they wanted. The bigger the trouble Henry caused, the better.
But when he heard that Hendry's father was a general, he stopped in his tracks.
In fact, Hendry is different from me. I was just caught in the trap by accident, while Hendry is obviously here to gild himself.
However, he was arranged in the fourth zone, just like his third zone. These two positions are still very dangerous.
It's obvious that Cameron looks down on this dude.
"Hendry, forget it, you've had too much to drink!" Lu Ming hugged him and tried to get him to give way.
It's better to settle the matter quickly, otherwise if the trouble gets out of hand, the higher-ups will also pay attention to this matter, and they may ask you to provide various testimonies. In addition, they may ask you to give testimony according to their wishes, and they may even investigate your background, which would make you too conspicuous.
"Asshole, get out of here!" Hendry glared at Lu Ming and immediately turned hostile.
A small pistol was suddenly pointed at Hendry's forehead. The owner of the pistol was Candice. Her face was cold. "Will you get out of the way?!"
Hendry laughed even louder, "Little Pepper, I like Little Pepper..."
"Peng"
With a scream of "Ah", Hendry covered his arm and retreated hastily. Blood oozed from the place where his hand was covering, and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Lu Ming was stunned, his face full of surprise. Naturally, he was quickly judging the background and identity of this girl. Cameron's lover? He was afraid that she was more than that. She wouldn't be so bold. And judging from the accuracy of her shooting, she was clearly a well-trained killer, and even more ruthless. She would kill someone if she didn't agree with him.
Candice calmly put away the gun and said to Lu Ming: "You saw, he was drunk, kicked you out, and wanted to rape me. I was defending myself!" She turned to the phone and called for medical staff.
