Zhang Xiaoman has been a soldier for more than ten years in his life, but in essence, the highest position is only a company commander, although he was later promoted to the brigade commander of the Sixth Field Brigade, but in fact, he has always understood what is going on in his heart: it is just to arrange a familiar person for Ren Xiaosu.

He carefully calculated the time he spent as a battalion commander and a regiment commander, and it seemed that it was less than half a year, and then he became a brigade commander again.

The speed of expansion of the Northwest Army was too fast, and the barriers under its control had increased dozens of times, so that everyone rushed to the shelves, and even the former commander of the forward battalion had become the commander of the third division.

Zhou Yinglong went to tell Zhang Jinglin several times that it was a bit difficult for him to be a teacher.

But according to Zhang Jinglin's words, no one is born to learn to be a teacher, you can only learn when you reach that position.

Of course, this kind of rocket promotion will leave some hidden dangers, compared with the Tinder troops, Qing troops, and Wang troops, the Northwest Army lacks some background, so there will inevitably be some problems in the event of a major war.

However, Zhang Jinglin wants to fight steadily, but this era will not wait for them.

What was Zhang Xiaoman like in the sharp knife company before?

Everyone eats and lives together, and there are 180 people in total, and everyone is a brother.

When the sharp knife is fighting, everyone's slogan is not to abandon or give up, and no one is missing.

Although everyone knows that war kills people, everyone has the original intention of not dying.

This was true not only of the Sharp Knife Company, but also of the Forward Battalion, and even more so of the 3rd Division.

What did the Northwest rely on to fight wars in the past to be called killing billets?

Is it because the 178 fortress is well-equipped? The development of the military industry is only a matter of the past 20 years, and before that, everyone was poor and ding, and they were afraid of the invasion of wizards every day.

Is it because the commanders of Fortress 178 are particularly good? Zhang Jinglin was only a medical soldier, and some of the commanders of that session even had a special background in the cooking class.

It seems that in the northwest, he never needs to be strong, and Ren Xiaosu is the alternative among the previous commander candidates.

Zhang Jinglin has admitted many times that his command talent has never been the best one, and everyone is willing to let him be the commander because he is fair and kind-hearted.

At the beginning, Zhang Jinglin, a medical soldier, rescued more than 100 comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, but he rescued all the comrades-in-arms who had a breath of air.

In that war, Zhang Jinglin's hands were full of blood blisters, and his feet were full of blisters.

When other medical personnel came to examine his injuries, they were shocked.

This is Zhang Jinglin's personality charm, not ability.

At that time, the days of the 178 fortress were very hard, and there was only one fortress guarded, and every soldier was extremely precious.

If someone kills the people of Fortress 178, they will retaliate like crazy, and on the battlefield, everyone will either live or die together.

After so many years, the six words of not abandoning and not giving up seem to have become something in everyone's bones.

Only by hugging tightly can everyone survive in this troubled world.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't really become a commander, and the Sixth Field Division couldn't take his turn to command, so when P5092 so calmly decided the life and death of his comrades, he couldn't accept it.

Even Ren Xiaosu once told P5092 that the Northwest Army and the Tinder Army are actually different.

But it is precisely because of this that the place where the Northwest Army is located will be more humane, and the Northwest Army is not a cold war machine.

This is a force that believes in protection.

Therefore, even if Zhang Xiaoman knew that P5092 was for the victory of the war, it was difficult for him to accept it emotionally.

However, it is difficult to accept that he must obey as well.

And when he saw P5092's tears, he understood that this seemingly cold war machine actually had normal human emotions.

No wonder Ren Xiaosu said to P5092, don't carry too much alone.

Each of these cold decisions was a deep torture for P5092 itself.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at P5092 and said: "I was wrong about what I questioned you before, if this war also requires me to die one day, you can tell me directly." ”

P5092 was silent for a moment and said, "You don't have the value of sending you to death, otherwise I might have sent you to die a long time ago." ”

Zhang Xiaoman: "......"

......

Five hundred kilometers west of Barrier 144, a huge defensive line had been constructed.

The defensive line stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and dozens of defensive support points formed a large net, waiting for the enemy to approach.

Hundreds of thousands of people are busy here, not only soldiers of the Northwest Army, but also young and middle-aged men who support and participate in the construction of the defense line.

They do the first work here, whether it is moving bricks, whether it is dredging, whether it is carrying sandbags.

Outside a defensive position in the south of the defensive line, a steam train was approaching rapidly.

The defending officers and men of the Northwest Army cheered when they saw the steam train from afar: "Young marshal, that's the young marshal's steam train!"

When the steam train approached, many soldiers who had never seen such a behemoth looked at it curiously.

Behind this line of defense is the headquarters of the Northwest Army, so the checkpoints here are relatively strict, and all personnel entering must receive electric shocks to ensure that they are not carrying nanobots.

Of course, there are dozens of defensive positions that are also doing this kind of work, in case the movement is too big and too special, causing the AI to discover the location of the General Command.

When entering the defensive position, the soldiers in charge of electrocuting and inspecting the nanobots were a little embarrassed, because the identities of Xu Pu, Qing Jin, Luo Lan, and Zhou Qi were a little special, so everyone didn't know whether to elect them or not.

As a result, Qing Zhen took the initiative to ask: "Give us electricity, I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't be sure if I carry nanobots." Although the three of them are transcendental, there is no evidence now that transcendental beings will not be recruited. ”

After saying that, Qing Zhen walked into the examination tent and took off his shirt, let the nurse apply the conductive electricity to his chest, and then received an electric shock.

Luo Lan and the others saw that even Qingzhen took the initiative to accept the inspection, so they had to follow along.

Zhou Qi muttered: "After our identity comes to the northwest, we should put on a show, but now we will be shocked first, and when we negotiate later, we will speak quietly." ”

Qing Zhen recovered briefly after receiving the electric shock, and he said to Zhou Qi: "We are not here to negotiate, the negotiation is to discuss how to divide the interests under the premise that the two sides have a basis of interests, but we are not here to divide anything, but to ensure that human civilization can survive." ”

Zhou Qi suddenly asked: "But after this battle, even if you win the Qing clan, it will be gone." ”

"Isn't it good to grow flowers and raise grass in the northwest," Qingzhen smiled.

Xu Yu and they were all stunned for a moment, maybe this is the end of Qing Jin's pursuit?

During this period, no one asked Ren Xiaosu to also accept an electric shock or something, Zhou Qi asked the inspectors: "Why don't you electrocute your young marshal all of a sudden, he may also be controlled by nanorobots, are you so relieved of him? These instruments were sent to the northwest by our Qing clan." ”

Zhou Qi is right, Qing is the first to discover a way to restrain nanobots in the body, although this method cannot be used on a large scale, it is indeed very efficient to use in important defensive locations, at least it can ensure that there is no artificial intelligence in the base.

At that time, Qing's company gave hundreds of sets of equipment to the northwest, and the conductive paste was calculated in tons.

I have to say that Qing Zhen did the preparation work in advance.

The nurse in charge of applying the conductive paste glanced at Zhou Qi and replied: "The commander said, if even the young marshal can be controlled, then wait for destruction, and there is no need to resist." What, you have an opinion about our young marshal?"

Zhou Qi quickly shut up, even if he became a demigod, he didn't dare to have any opinions on Ren Xiaosu.

After all, Zhou Yingxue has long become a demigod, isn't she honestly in front of the maid.

In the eyes of many people, Zhou Yingxue is like a standard to measure, as long as you are not as good as Zhou Yingxue, you have to be honest in front of Ren Xiaosu......

However, Ren Xiaosu also took the initiative to take off his shirt and said, "Give me a little too, don't be special." ”

The nurse's eyes straightened: "Huh...... I don't have enough conductive paste here, young marshal, wait a minute, I'll get it. ”

With that, the nurse ran out quickly, and only came back with the new conductive paste after 2 minutes, but there were more than a dozen nurses behind her.

It's fake to say anything about taking conductive paste, but in fact, it's true to call your friends to watch the young marshal's figure together.

After the electric shock, Wang Fengyuan was already waiting outside the tent: "Come with me to command the camp, the senior generals of the Northwest Army are waiting there for a meeting." ”

When I entered the command camp, I saw Zhang Jinglin sitting at the end of the long table, and there were telephones on the table, which were already on the phone.

Zhang Jinglin got up and smiled at Qing Jin: "I'm sorry, the senior generals of the Northwest Army can't come to the meeting in person, and can only have a rudimentary conference call, just in case the artificial intelligence knows the location of the general headquarters and takes us out." These telephone lines are guarded by special personnel, and all of them are laid out with special telephone lines, and artificial intelligence should not be able to eavesdropping. ”

Qing Zhen nodded: "I can understand, in this situation, it is not wrong to be careful." ”

Zhang Jinglin saw that Qing Zhen didn't mind, so he pointed to Ren Xiaosu and said to the place on his left: "Xiaosu, come and sit next to me." ”

At this time, the senior generals scattered in various positions on the phone hurriedly spoke out one by one as soon as they heard that Ren Xiaosu was also coming: "Hello young marshal!"

"Young marshal, I'm Lao Zhou, Zhou Yinglong, do you still have an impression of me?"

"The young marshal is in good health?"

"Young Marshal, have you eaten......"

Luo Lan, Zhou Qi and the others were speechless for a while, this is simply a large-scale rainbow fart scene, they didn't expect that Ren Xiaosu's reputation in the northwest would be so high.

Zhang Jinglin was still there, and everyone unabashedly began to shoot the young marshal's ass.

Generally in the consortium, even if the heir of the next head of the family has been determined, everyone will be a little more restrained in front of the current head of the family, and it is usually not a good end to stand in line in advance.

There is a possibility that the heir will be replaced.

However, this does not seem to be the case in the Northwest, and the atmosphere seems to be completely different.

Zhang Jinglin coughed twice: "Okay, it's not too late for you to wait for him to take over my position, now let's get down to business." ”

As soon as the voice fell, someone on the phone suddenly pinched his throat and said, "Ah, the commander is jealous." ”

There were so many phones on the table that everyone couldn't tell who said that just now......

Immediately after, everyone burst into laughter.

Qing Zhen suddenly smiled at Luo Lan and said, "I really like it here." ”

"I think it's pretty good, too," Luo Lan said with a smile.

Zhang Jinglin was not angry: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business." ”

The general headquarters was quiet, and all the operational staff officers consciously walked out of the command camp, and this kind of meeting was not something they could attend.

Zhang Jinglin said to Ren Xiaosu: "Xiaosu, you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, and the generals must also have a lot of doubts in their hearts, and they don't even know what to do to win this war, the enemy seems to be so strong that it is difficult to resist, and the number of tens of millions will be even bigger after the other party absorbs the population of the southwest." Our Northwest Army has only expanded to more than 300,000 troops, and how can these more than 300,000 officers and men fight tens of millions of elite enemy troops? I think everyone will be puzzled. ”

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "Yes." ”

"But I still can't say the final plan," Qing Zhen said calmly, "This plan started a year ago, although the situation has changed very much, but the plan I made with Commander Zhang at that time can still come in handy." ”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at Qing Jin, no wonder Zhang Jinglin asked him to pick up Qing Zhen back, it turned out that the two of them had a confidential plan a year ago.

Qing Zhen said: "Please don't mind if I hide it, I have lived in a simple life for a year, and I have to restrain my desire to talk to the outside world every day, just to hide this plan, and the reason why it can be useful is precisely because it is unknown." Next, we will face a huge number of casualties every day, and we will face great grief every day, but this time, we can only win by leaving our lives to die. I implore you to buy me another 9 days, and I need 9 days for Fortress 178 to still stand. ”

Qing Zhen still didn't say what their plan was, but he had already clearly told the Northwest Army what to do.

The last 9 days.

The countdown has begun.

......

The book will also be completed on August 17th.
