Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 161 First Night in Australia

The middle-aged man is called Ji Shenglong. He is the captain of this advance team, a regimental political commissar who transferred from the army, and is also the official person in charge of this team.

"You're welcome, Captain Ji. I heard that most of the members of your team were former soldiers." Vickers said with a smile.

Vickers is a member of the Grace team. This time he is specifically responsible for contacting the advance team and assisting the advance team in building the town.

"Yes, most of us are retired veterans." Ji Shenglong nodded in response, pride revealed in his voice.

Vickers then led Ji Shenglong to a truck. He lifted the tarpaulin, revealing the weapons piled underneath.

"There are a total of two thousand rifles, two hundred pistols, and two corresponding base numbers of bullets," Vickers began to introduce.

"Although we cannot guarantee that each of you will have these weapons, after they are distributed, they can at least guarantee your safety to a certain extent."

When Ji Shenglong saw so many weapons, his expression changed slightly.

He understood that this meant that the environment they were in was not as safe as they had imagined.

He took a deep breath. Before coming here, he had already anticipated that this place would not be so safe.

However, Ji Shenglong couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Vickers, we are here to build a town. Do we really need so many weapons?"

"Australia is not as peaceful as you think.

Especially when you build a house in the wilderness, you will encounter many dangers.

There are wolves roaming around at night, some indigenous tribes hiding in the mountains, and some bandit gangs.

So, Mr. Grace specifically asked me to equip you with these weapons." Vickers explained softly.

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Vickers. Please also express my gratitude to Mr. Grace on my behalf." After listening to Vickers' explanation, Ji Shenglong suddenly realized and nodded to express his gratitude.

Afterwards, Ji Shenglong began to organize team members to distribute weapons.

Although these veterans have left the barracks, they still maintain their discipline and organization very well.

In a short period of time, weapons were distributed to everyone who needed them.

Two hundred pistols and pistol bullets were distributed to the team leaders and temporarily selected deputy team leaders.

The 2,000 rifles and rifle bullets were reasonably distributed according to the team members' marksmanship levels.

After distributing the weapons, the team members began to get busy.

Under the command of one hundred instructors, they began to tidy up the campsite in an orderly manner with clear division of labor.

Some people were responsible for setting up tents, some were checking supplies and setting up stoves, and others were starting to prepare fires for cooking.

The entire camp soon became orderly.

Ji Shenglong stood aside, his eyes revealing deep satisfaction. He looked at the busy figures of the team members and his heart was filled with relief.

He knew that this mission was of great significance to the entire country, and as the leader of the advance team, he shouldered a heavy responsibility.

This mission is not only about personal honor, but also carries the trust of the motherland and the expectations of the people.

Recalling the conversation with his superiors before departure, Ji Shenglong still feels shocked.

That huge and grand plan, those comrades who hid in the darkness and dedicated themselves silently, they spared no effort for the future of the country.

Ji Shenglong deeply admired their wisdom and courage.

If this plan succeeds, the country's industrial development will catch up with the average level of international capital within ten years, which is an incredible task.

As night fell, Ji Shenglong convened a hundred team leaders to hold the first working meeting of the advance team.

The lights in the conference room were bright, and everyone's face was full of seriousness and determination. "Comrades, we have come to this strange land with the heavy trust of our motherland on our shoulders." Ji Shenglong's voice was sonorous and powerful.

“Our mission is directly related to the country’s development plans.

Therefore, I hope that everyone can always remain vigilant, keep their original aspirations in mind, and bear their mission in mind.

We have a total of 5,000 people, divided into ten squadrons, each squadron has ten squadrons.

From now on, we will implement a rotating security alert system to ensure the safety of the camp.

The first squadron will be responsible for the guard duty tonight and tomorrow daytime, and the second squadron will take over tomorrow night.

Please remain vigilant and do not take it lightly.”

Ji Shenglong's eyes swept across everyone's faces and continued, "We are now in the prairie of Australia, and there is no human habitation within 200 kilometers.

In addition to wolves and other wild beasts, there may also be some bandit gangs hiding.

Therefore, safety is our top priority.

I hope everyone will take this work seriously and make sure our campsite is safe and secure.”

Finally, he said affectionately: "I brought everyone to Australia, in addition to completing the mission, I only have one wish - that is to bring everyone back safely.

Let us work together to strive for the prosperity of our motherland!"

As night falls, starlight sprinkles on the quiet camp like tiny diamonds, casting a mysterious veil over this strange land.

This was their first night in a foreign country, and the air was filled with a sense of novelty and tension.

The camp was gradually shrouded in deep darkness.

There were only piles of bonfires, flickering with flames.

No one was sleepy. They tossed and turned in bed, or simply lay on the grass outside and looked up at the distant starry sky.

In this vast universe, they feel so small, but at the same time they are full of endless expectations for the future.

In this quiet night, the howling of wild beasts can be heard from time to time.

That was the howling of wolves in the distance, deep and terrifying, like a call from the depths of hell.

In addition, there are the calls of some unknown animals, sometimes far away and sometimes near, adding a bit of mystery and horror to this night.

Although Australia does not have large beasts like tigers and black bears, there is no shortage of ferocious wild animals here.

For example, wolves, wild boars, wild dogs and so on.

Some people began to whisper, while others stared at the starry sky silently.

Ji Shenglong, the captain of the advance team, also lay on the grass and looked up at the starry sky.

His mood was very complicated, with both anticipation for the future and fear of the unknown.

But he knew that as a soldier, he must always remain calm and firm and lead his team to overcome all difficulties.

In this strange country, they not only have to face the challenges of the natural environment, but also deal with various complex political and social issues.

As the night deepened, the lights in the camp gradually went out.

This night was not so quiet. Ji Shenglong was awakened several times by sudden gunshots.
