Most of my life is faced with multiple choice questions.

But there will always be moments, seconds, and snaps of your fingers when you have no choice in life.

Just like the Qing clan at this moment, Qing Zhen knew that this huge consortium was rumbling into the darkness like a sunset, but he had no other choice.

However, when there is only one road left in front of you, you no longer hesitate or hesitate.

Because you don't have much to do but move forward.

In this ginkgo manor, Zhou Qi asked: "Since you already have a plan in your heart, when will we leave?

"It's not that I'm waiting for something," Qing Zhen suddenly laughed: "It's that we can't leave now, and Zero won't let me go." ”

Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows: "It hasn't hit here yet, we want to withdraw to the northwest, why should it stop us?"

"I said that you can't leave anything to chance when you are enemies of artificial intelligence," Qing Zhen said: "When you went to the Central Plains before, a monster ran out of the mountains to the north to stop Ren Xiaosu, I think Ren Xiaosu should not have killed it, but after you came back, the monster never appeared again, and no one knew where it was." ”

Moreover, the vicinity of this Ginkgo Manor has long been monitored by eagles and falcons who don't know how much, and Qing Jin's every move can't escape the other party's sight now.

Qing Zhen didn't plan to care, because it didn't make sense.

Zhou Qi pouted: "If you don't leave now, won't you be even more unable to leave in the future?" Anyway, I won't care about you at that time, and if a big disaster comes, I'll drill into the river." ”

Qing Zhen said: "Don't worry, as early as a year ago, I reached an agreement with the Northwest. ”

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment: "A year ago, wasn't that when Zhou Qi and I went to the northwest, you didn't go at that time, and we only talked about trade on behalf of the Qing family, and didn't mention anything else...... Wait, that girl is going to talk to Zhang Jinglin on your behalf?"

Qing Zhen stopped talking.

A year ago, in order to connect the Qing family with the Northwest Railway, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi sent a girl to the Northwest as a hostage.

At that time, Luo Lan said to Xu Xianchu that this was the girl Qing Zhen liked, while Zhou Qi was curious, how could he never know about it.

In fact, Luo Lan didn't know too much about this matter, and the information he knew was all told to him by Qing Jin.

Before sending that girl to the northwest, Luo Lan had only seen the girl twice, and he had never put this matter at ease, so much so that in this year, he had almost forgotten that such a person existed.

And now it seems that the purpose of the girl going to the northwest at that time was not so simple.

This year's period seems to coincide with the excavation of the underground tunnel at Barrier 61, which means that at that time, Qingzhen was fully preparing to deal with artificial intelligence.

......

Behind the Sanshan defense line, Qing Yi stood next to the huge sand table and frowned.

The sand table this time was different from what he had seen before, the red flag represented the deployment of Qing's troops, and the blue flag represented the imaginary enemy army.

In the past, Qing's sand table has always been more red flags, which looks very oppressive.

This time, however, it was the blue flag representing the enemy that almost filled the area outside the Sanshan defense line.

Qing Yi was a little tired from this battle, because they knew nothing about the enemy.

When fighting the Li family and the Yang family, Qing Yi knew very well in his heart how to fight, what the opponent's weaknesses and strengths were, and they were clear.

But playing the crowd controlled by artificial intelligence actually made Qing Yi feel a sense of powerlessness, and all the efforts he made seemed to be just to lose and not be too ugly.

However, whenever Qing Yi looked at the reports of each combat sequence, he always had a feeling of amazement.

The powerful micro-manipulation shown by artificial intelligence on the battlefield is beyond the reach of human beings, and the other party has not used any tricks, nor even used any indiscriminate means, completely with fair and precise operation methods, the Qing troops are eaten up little by little.

Originally, Qing Yi thought that the other party would control the old man and the child to charge into battle, and even control them to cry, so as to break through the psychological defense line of the Qing soldiers.

Just ask, no matter how hard-hearted ordinary soldiers are, they will be soft-hearted when they see the elderly and children crying for help and rushing over.

However, the other side did not use this means, that is, with strong computing power, it captured more than 40 positions of the Sanshan defense line in one day.

This kind of command ability made Qing Yi feel that the other party's fighting style had a strange beauty when he looked at the sand table.

The power of the 152-mm howitzer on the battlefield is terrifying, but the opponent is not even afraid of fire coverage.

Qing Yi suddenly remembered what Qing Zhen said: Humans and artificial intelligence play against each other, and the ability shown by the other party is something you didn't dare to imagine before, and when you review the game, you will be amazed that Go can be played like this.

Until now, it is Qingyi who is amazed that the war can be fought like this.

Qingyi has lived in the barracks with his uncle since he was a child, and he likes the army and also likes to study military affairs.

Qing Zhen asked him what his dreams were before, and Qing Yi said that he wanted to be a famous general in the world.

Qing Zhen smiled at that time and said that he would help him realize this wish.

Later, after Qing Zhen became the lord of the Qing clan, he really fulfilled his promise.

Qing Yi's command talent is outstanding, even if the three group armies are in his hands, they can manage them in an orderly manner.

When the Li family and the Yang family were harvested, Qing Zhen did not make any more moves, and Qing Yi was all in charge, and in the end, the Southwest War ended perfectly.

But Qing Yi knows his flaws, and his ability may be more reflected in the detailed management of military affairs, rather than the game on the battlefield.

He does not have Zhang Jinglin's popular aspirations, he does not have Qingzhen's precautions and final calculations, and he does not have Wang Shengzhi's longitude and latitude.

As time passed, he slowly realized that he might not be able to become a famous general in the world in his life.

On the stage of this era, he is destined to only be a supporting role.

Just like life, teenagers always have to understand after growing up in spring, summer, autumn and winter that youth, sweat, and blood may not be able to exchange for their most desired dreams.

But so what, Qing Yi smiled, and he said to the confidential secretary beside him: "Call the chief of staff to come over, I want to reformulate the battle plan, this time, we will directly abandon the 171 position." ”

Although he will always lose, before losing this war, Qingyi must use everything he has seen and learned to the extreme.

......

The retreat plan in the northwest was relatively smooth, and Wang Yuexi divided the evacuated civilians into six groups and left one after another, so that the pressure on the supply depot would not be so great, and the evacuated people would be more emotionally stable.

In the direction of the key gate, Wang Yun counted that a person passed through about every 2.7 seconds, and this orderly speed was in line with their plan.

If nothing else happens, Barrier 144 could have been evacuated in three days.

Originally, it took a little longer to pass through the Keygate, but many people abandoned the Keygate method and instead followed their families on the path of retreat on foot.

There are also people who want to donate their family vehicles, because they have heard that the 6th Field Division will stay and fight the enemy, and there are not enough vehicles.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaoman refused, after all, the help of the car for the war is not great, and the number is a little small.

There aren't many people who can own a car these days.

At this moment, Wang Fugui was in a small tavern, feasting the big merchants of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.

This is still the small restaurant where Wang Fugui asked everyone to help build water conservancy, but now the owners and men of this small restaurant have all left the No. 144 barrier in the second batch.

Wang Fugui dressed plainly, cut the mutton and lamb chops with his own hands, and then threw them into the pot together with green onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, waiting for the mutton in the pot to slowly simmer.

He put the boning knife on the board, and then wiped the blood on his hands with a smile: "Everyone, after this meal, we will evacuate with the third batch, and the next meeting should be in the 178 fortress." I have talked to the young marshal, please rest assured, even in the war, your property will be guaranteed, and I have also said hello on the black market. ”

The faces of the big merchants softened a little, and in the troubled times, the rich people were of course most worried about their property.

Although the 178 Fortress has never done anything to confiscate the house for no reason, other consortia have done it, so everyone is worried at this time.

But now with Wang Fugui's assurance, they are willing to believe in that young marshal once.

Of course, you can't help it if you don't believe it.

Since Wang Fugui beat them last time, these bigwigs in the business world have been honest one by one, and when the young marshal went to inspect the river embankment and water conservancy, they were eager to go to the river embankment to carry sandbags to show their loyalty.

In fact, when the loyalty is in place, the benefits assigned to them by Wang Fugui's side will naturally be in place.

This time, Wang Fugui killed sheep and deboned again, but everyone didn't have the same apprehension as last time, but someone took the initiative to ask: "President Wang, just say what you want, we will never be stingy if we have it." ”

Wang Fugui wiped his hands and sat on his main seat, and then sighed with a sad face: "You also know that my relationship with the young marshal is not comparable to ordinary people, I am his shopkeeper, and he is my owner." The owner has a bitter heart, and I, as the shopkeeper, naturally have to share his worries. ”

There was silence in the small restaurant, and only Wang Fugui's voice remained: "You are going to retreat this time, but do you know that the Sixth Field Division will still stay to fight? Everyone can retreat smoothly, and the protection of the Northwest Army is absolutely indispensable.

The big businessmen looked at each other, and one of the older ones said: "Brother Wang, we can understand what you said, and the good life in the past two years is indeed thanks to the Northwest Army. ”

"Well," Wang Fugui said, "it's good that everyone understands this truth." ”

"What support does Brother Wang need from us?"

"Cars," Wang Fugui narrowed his eyes and said: "Now that there is a war, the trucks we originally traveled to and from the Central Plains are naturally useless, but the vehicles are useless if they are idle, why don't you donate these cars for the time being, so that the Northwest Army can use them?"

The big dealers were shocked, for a business like theirs, trucks are the lifeblood.

Only when you have a car can you have goods, and it can even be said that you have a car in your hand to pull the people who help you do the work.

Now Wang Fugui is so ruthless that he wants to take away all these trucks as soon as he opens his mouth.

Wang Fugui saw that everyone was a little hesitant, so he took a sip of the teacup and said: "This time, I don't have any benefits to give to everyone, but this war has broken out, what business do you have to talk about? You can't just enjoy the good policies of the northwest every day, and in the end you don't want to do anything for the northwest, how can there be such a good thing." Now I'm here to discuss with you, after the war, I, Wang Fugui, will naturally tell the young marshal about these things, the young marshal is not a merciful person, and he will not treat you badly. ”

Someone hesitated: "But ......"

Wang Fugui paused the teacup on the table, and his face gradually calmed down: "It's nothing, I helped you solve the problem of squeezing the laborers earlier, you want to get the land for approval, and the Northwest Army is also happy to support it." Now you will help you a lot with this little thing, and the Northwest Army will pay for you. ”

"We are asking for payment in gold," said one businessman.

Wang Fugui shook his head: "You can't trust the Northwest Army, there is no gold, only the Northwest currency issued by the 178 Fortress Bank." ”

While talking, there were crowds of people outside the window of the small restaurant, and everyone clearly saw a group of soldiers surrounding the small restaurant.

Wang Fugui said: "Saiong lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing, what do you say?"

The elderly businessman hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course we are willing to support the Northwest Army, President Wang, you can make the charter." ”

Wang Fugui nodded and walked outside: "Then I'm welcome, let's fish the mutton in the pot yourself, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

Now that everyone is racing against time, Wang Fugui has no time to ink with these big businessmen, and the vehicle must be taken away, because the Sixth Field Division is in urgent need.

Wang Fugui also knows that as soon as the thing that threatens everyone today comes out, his reputation is afraid that it will be ruined, but there are some things that someone has to come forward to do.

It's better to have a bad reputation than a bad reputation.

The transport trucks in the hands of these big businessmen can add up to hundreds, which is enough for the Sixth Field Division to solve its urgent needs.

There were already cars waiting outside the door, and Wang Fugui said to one of Zhang Xiaoman's officers: "Don't let them leave here until you get all the vehicles, and hand over the diesel and gasoline they have in the tun." Lamb is a good thing, let them eat more. ”

"Well, don't worry," the officer replied.

President Wang of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce is the young marshal's confidant, which is something that everyone knows.

Although Wang Fugui has never interfered in military affairs and has never crossed the line, this does not mean that he is not good at speaking in the army.

The car carrying Wang Fugui left, leaving only more than a dozen big businessmen in the small restaurant looking at each other, not far from the stove, in the big iron pot boiling mutton and mutton soup, the soup was tumbling.

Inside Barrier 144, several convoys are heading towards the west gate of the barrier, including Ren Xiaosu.

Dozens of people gathered at the West Gate and waited quietly until another convoy from Fortress 178 appeared on the horizon to the northwest.

Da Yu said beside Ren Xiaosu: "Yesterday, the commander praised us for arranging the retreat in an orderly manner, and when he sees you later, he will praise you." ”

Ren Xiaosu said: "What is the matter with Mr. Zhang's visit to Barrier No. 144 today. ”

"I don't know, even Wang Fengyuan doesn't know," Da Flicker shook his head.

Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled, the retreat here only needs to be done step by step, and it stands to reason that Zhang Jinglin doesn't need to come over.

A few minutes later, the convoy quickly arrived at the gate, and Zhang Jinglin said directly to Ren Xiaosu after getting out of the car: "You come with me, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Saying that, Zhang Jinglin actually walked to the side, and no one except Ren Xiaosu followed.

When the two of them walked to a remote place, Zhang Jinglin said: "I won't enter the barrier, I just came here to tell you one thing." ”

"What must be said to your face?" Ren Xiaosu wondered: "The Northwest communication is still unimpeded." ”

Zhang Jinglin smiled: "Naturally, it is necessary to say it in person, do you know that Luo Lan and Zhou Qi once sent a girl to the northwest?"

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "I heard Da Yu mention it later, she was a hostage sent by the Qing family, and you protected her." ”

"When the hostages are fake, it is true that they want to reach an agreement in secret," Zhang Jinglin said: "A year ago, I made an agreement with Qing Jin, if one day Wang's artificial intelligence becomes a disaster, the northwest will accept Qing's people, and help Qing Zhen and others evacuate the southwest." ”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of thing.

The big flicker and the others never mentioned it, and it seems that even the big flicker didn't know about it.

Zhang Jinglin said to himself: "Since then, the 178 Fortress has joined forces with the Qing clan to carry out a plan, and then in a year, more than 300 Qing secret scientific researchers have come to the northwest to work hard for this plan. Now that things are in Qingjin's anticipation, I hope you can go to the southwest and pick him up for his retreat to the northwest. ”

"Pick up Ying Qingzhen to the northwest?" Ren Xiaosu probably thought about it in his heart, then shook his head and said: "No, it will take 3 days to pick up Ying Qingzhen to come and go, and this is not counting the dangerous situation on the road." Since he made such an agreement with Mr. Zhang, he must have predicted the danger. At this time, I went to the southwest, what should the Sixth Field Division do? I can't go, although I take Qingzhen and Luo Lan as friends, but they are not in danger now, at this time, I need to be with my soldiers. ”

Although there are friends on the other side, the responsibility of everyone in the Sixth Field Division here is on the shoulders of Ren Xiaosu, Luo Lan is a friend, and Zhang Xiaoman is also a friend.

Everyone trusts Ren Xiaosu and trusts that the young marshal can lead everyone out of a way of life, but now Ren Xiaosu wants to leave them behind to save others?

Although P5092 said that Ren Xiaosu could not fight guerrilla warfare with the Sixth Field Division this time, it was always possible to save the emergency.

I really can't beat it, pulling a behemoth like Ling Chen out can always save some fighters, right?

Moreover, Ren Xiaosu promised Zhao Wankun, the soldiers who opened the door of the key, that he would guard Barrier 144 until the last moment and take everyone away.

Maybe the Northwest will still lose after all their efforts, but these promises cannot be disappointed.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaoman at the city gate suddenly ran out: "Young marshal! Young marshal! The key gate that opened on the snow mountain before, a few people ran out, and now they say they want to see you!"

Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, he asked from a distance, "Who, do I know each other?"

"You know," Zhang Xiaoman roared, "It's the previous knights of the Qinghe Group." ”

This really made Ren Xiaosu blind, didn't the knights say that they would climb the world's highest peak before......

Could it be that Zhao Wankun's key door was opened on that snowy mountain?!
