Compared with Yang Muqin, who sent the message, the members of the executive committee who sat near the information desk and waited for the message were much more nervous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The northbound detachment was not in the development plan at the beginning, as far as the strategy of the Wu Dynasty is concerned, the Senate is clearly divided into two factions, although the majority advocate cooperation and development with the Wu Dynasty, but there are also many veterans who are unwilling to be in the company of a group of sour Ding literati who want to die to face. In particular, the formation of the northbound detachment was criticized by many veterans from the very beginning.

These objections came from many sources, such as the commerce department felt that it did not make much sense to open up a route to the north at this time, and the current business model of the Wu Dynasty was diametrically opposed to the large-scale logistics transportation model that the Senate intended to establish, and this time and space both the Wu Dynasty and the Maidno people, even the Annamite people, wanted to obtain the monopoly of goods and monopolize the supply channels to obtain maximum benefits. In such a situation, some of the things that the Wu Dynasty could not produce are expensive, for example, in the commercial investigation of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, there are investigators who have repeatedly found that the peddlers and pawns carry the goods wholesaled from the Oriental Port into the deep mountains and villages that have not yet been opened to the highway at this time, and these people's goods are extremely cheap things in the Oriental Port, nothing more than needles, threads, brains, scissors, hoes, sickles and other living utensils, the largest is just an iron pot, but the price is ridiculously high, three needles can be exchanged for a chicken, A scythe for a cow is definitely not a fantasy. Under such a business model, the publicity effect that the sale of goods to the Wu Dynasty can bring to China's Oriental Port can be described as small and small, and even once people talk about the Oriental Port, they will feel that the price of things there is extremely expensive. Rather than traveling thousands of miles all the way north from the terrible official road, it is better to wait a few more months for the Senate to go north after the free ship is built, and go directly north to Tianjin Port, from where it is much more time-saving and labor-saving to land and then go to Beijing.

In recent years, Henan has repeatedly suffered from natural disasters and starved to the ground, so that the victims can eat up the bark of trees along the way like locusts, and the northbound detachment must bring enough supplies for almost two months to cross Henan. With such a convoy carrying so much food moving in an area where the victims are active, it is not necessary to think about how much attention they will receive. Shandong, on the other hand, is a province famous for its ringing horses, and there are so many robbers that they even dare to attack cities and towns, and it is actually difficult for the special investigators escorted by the northbound detachment to protect them thoroughly. Moreover, Shandong also suffered a disaster at this time, whether it is in this time and space or in the old time and space, Shandong and Henan are areas where all kinds of underground sects are active, and every time there is a disaster or other situation, there will be many careerists who will create various cults and encourage the people to rebel, and when the time comes, the northbound detachment with heavy treasures will definitely become a big fat in the eyes of these cults.

"Fortunately, it was just something that happened in Hubei, but if it happened again when you entered Henan, it would be a big trouble." Sun Wenbin said and sighed, "What now?" ”

"This is in Henan, okay?" Du Yande pursed his lips, "Near Xinye, Xinye is in Henan, but this attack is more strange." ”

Yang Minghuan also nodded, "Yes, according to the information they sent, the timing of the attack on the northbound detachment was very good, first of all, to pursue the convoy that purchased supplies, so that the engine of the truck was damaged and had to be repaired......

"It's the propeller shaft that is broken," Zhang Yuan quickly added, "not the engine." ”

"I know," Yang Minghuan was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's interruption of his speech, "The northbound detachment couldn't give up that truck, and had to repair it directly in the field, but it was attacked by well-trained men in black, killing all the maintenance personnel and nearby guards. Then he used the bandits to block the mines with guns in front, which consumed the bullets of the convoy, and waited until our convoy ran out of bullets and went into battle in person. ”

"Yes, they seem to be familiar with our stuff," Xiao Jing said and sighed, "Knowing that our vehicles are mainly wooden structures, once a fire breaks out, it will be difficult to extinguish, so we specially set fire to our convoy, which has caused a lot of casualties." ”

"That's right," Du Yande nodded, "They seem to know very well that we have a certain long-range defense capability, so they specially waited until late at night to launch an attack, and the arson was carried out with rockets carrying oil bags, which was difficult to prevent." ”

"So who are these men in black? I don't think it's going to be an ordinary bandit. Xiao Jing scratched his eyebrows as he spoke, "The purpose of this group of people is to kill our people, and I feel that it seems to be to stimulate us to turn against the Wu Dynasty." ”

"I don't know, the intelligence of the northbound detachment is still being sent," Du Yande said and picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, the icon on it was still being received, "God knows how Liu Yeqiang got it, he wrote such a long report, and sent it in ten sections, and now it is only sent to the sixth section." ”

"Leave it alone, what about the casualties?" Sun Wenbin stretched out his hand as he spoke, "Let me see?" ”

Du Yande said as he handed over the mobile phone, "There are absolutely heavy casualties, six people are killed and five are injured among the special investigators, ten people are killed and sixteen are injured in the militia, and 12 ordinary naturalized migrant workers are killed and six are injured. The most head-scratching thing is these wounded, several of them have internal hemorrhage, and there is no surgeon with the team, and it is estimated that they will all die in a short time. ”

"What about the casualties of the patriarchs? And who else is that? Saying that, Yang Minghuan stammered, "That Yang Muqin's Japanese wife, is it okay?" We are able to stabilize the hearts of the Foreign Legion through her, and if we die, it will be a big trouble. ”

"Lin Yueru is fine," Sun Wenbin said as he flipped through the screen of his phone, "Her name is not on the casualty list, but there is Lu Qi." ”

"Lucci?" Several other executive committee members were stunned, and Xiao Jing couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "Isn't he the most afraid of death?" He's all hurt, how unlucky must that be? ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Du Yande hurriedly interrupted Xiao Jing's speech, and continued despite everyone's surprised eyes, "Lu Qi's response this time is simply a heroic act, he blocked the main gate of the camp alone, killed several people in black, and was finally injured by a group of people, but it was not serious. ”

"I'm going, Rudge has changed sex?" Zhang Yuan said curiously, "If he had been so brave in the New Army at that time, where would he have such a reputation today?" ”

"Don't say that," Yang Minghuan waved his hand, "Lu Qi is actually quite speechless when he talks about this, after all, it is the first time he really faces life and death, and it is natural to be afraid, you must know that when I went to Huangjiazhai with Lao Du and Lao Sun, I was almost scared when those dogs jumped out." This time Lucci had such a heroic act, and I felt that it should be commended. ”

"Well, I agree to do that," Duyande nodded, "Since the time travel, Luffy has actually wanted to do something to prove himself, in fact, he still has talents, but the problem is that he brought some bad habits from the old plane, so the current situation is caused. It is remarkable that he was able to take such initiative and make such a heroic move this time. He has indeed done a lot of wrong things before, and he has always been punished, but there is also a reward for punishment, and I think he deserves a medal this time. ”

"It's a medal?" Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, "I agree with the medal, but don't throw him back to us again, let him stay in the Wu Dynasty and be a rich man, okay?" It's a big deal that we send a construction team to build a manor for him, and it would be good to keep him. ”

"Let's not talk about this first, how to clean up the mess of the northbound detachment?" Yang Minghuan interrupted everyone's speeches and asked directly, "The northbound detachment is now seriously damaged in vehicles and has suffered great losses in personnel, and we are afraid that there is no way to continue to let them go north by land - this has not yet entered Henan, and entering Henan and Shandong with such strength is no different from looking for death." ”

"Why don't you form another rescue team to support?" Sun Wenbin asked tentatively, but immediately interrupted Xiao Jing, "Impossible, first of all, we don't have enough vehicles to go so far, but the vehicles of the northbound detachment took us a long time to build with the cooperation of multiple departments, and now even if we do our best in Dongfang Port, it will take us at least two months to make such a fleet, and the quality may not be so good." ”

"So where are all our resources now?" Sun Wenbin scratched his head a little depressedly, "Why can't you build a team?" ”

"Now the entire Oriental Port is working fast, and all the major resources are directly sent to various departments as soon as they are produced, which has always been seriously insufficient." Zhang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Insufficient production capacity has always seriously restricted our development. ”

"Yes, now the Navy is renovating two capital ships, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is building ships, the Marine Corps is engaged in large-scale amphibious forces, the Army is expanding its army and ordering a large number of weapons, and the Air Force is concentrating on the construction of airships." Du Yande said with a smile, "Our entire Oriental Port is very busy. Anyway, the place where they had an accident is inevitably too far away, if it is like last time, we can still find a gentle place for the mosquito machine to pick up people, now this is more than 1,000 kilometers, beyond the mosquito machine's activity radius, we have no strength to pick them up. ”

"Or? ......" Zhang Yuan suddenly flashed a flash of inspiration in his head, and stretched out his hand to interrupt everyone's divergent thinking, "The current manufacturing situation of the airship is quite good, the hydrogen generation rate of the chemical department is quite high, and now a lot of hydrogen has been stored, and the outer skeleton of the airship has also been built, and the test flight should be carried out in about a month, otherwise, let's let ......"

Xiao Jing shook his head a little worriedly, "This is more difficult, first of all, our airship construction work is experimental, we have no other usable experience except written materials, and no one can guarantee that the airship will be put into use as soon as it is built." But the current situation of the northbound detachment is relatively miserable, maybe the wounded are suffering from wound infections and the like, not to mention that there is an old man who is also injured and may not be able to afford to wait. ”

"And what do you mean?" Zhang Yuan turned his head sideways to look at Xiao Jing and asked, "Do you want them to come back by themselves?" Wouldn't that take longer? ”

"It's a nuisance, but they should be able to go to the waters of Poyang Lake, and our ships go inland through the Yangtze River estuary and go up the river to Poyang Lake to pick them up?" Xiao Jing said and looked at Zhang Yuan, "I remember that there is still no problem with small steam engines, steam engines are not very picky about fuel, as long as they can burn, they can be used to drive." ”

"But our small ships don't have such a long range!" Zhang Yuan almost jumped, "The only ship we have had such a voyage is the Dongfeng, and the Dongfeng is now out of fuel." If you want a free wheel, you have to wait more than two months to complete the outfitting. And even if a small boat has such a long range, how many people can a small boat hold? If it's not enough to bring all the personnel back, do you have to leave the corpses behind? ”

"Bones are buried everywhere in Qingshan...... Sun Wenbin was about to drop his book bag, but was immediately interrupted by Du Yande, "No, the corpse must be brought back, and the most respected point by the naturalized aborigines now is the martyr's cemetery, and all those who sacrifice to protect the senate must be buried in the martyr's cemetery." The funeral thing was originally made for the living, and if you die outside, you will throw it away, and who will give you your life in the future? ”

"And what do you think?" Sun Wenbin shrugged his shoulders, anyway, he just said it casually, Du Yande nodded, "My idea is to let the northbound detachment bury the body first, and then find a place nearby to hide it and wait for a while." Judging from the reports they sent, the casualties of the enemy who attacked them were also very large, and although the loss of ammunition was relatively large, they still had a certain defensive capability, so there should be no threat in the short term. ”

"The next thing we need to do is to fully support the airship of the Air Force," Du Yande said and nodded to the participants, "That's right, it's the airship, the advantage of the airship is very obvious, and the technical difficulty is not high, and we should have no problem with the things that can be successfully used on a large scale in the first war." After the test flight of the airship is completed, let the airship fly directly to Xinye to pick up all the northbound detachments. ”

"What about the wounded?" Yang Minghuan sighed and asked, "Some of them are seriously injured, and some of them are burned, and once they are infected, they will be dead." ”

"This can only be left to fate," Du Yande shook his head, "We don't have the ability of the U.S. military to deploy around the world 24 hours a day, they are already far away at the moment, this is already the fastest way we can rescue, if they can't hold out at that time, we can really only watch them die." ”

"Okay," the participants exchanged opinions with each other, and they all agreed, Du Yande stood up and took the mobile phone for communication from Sun Wenbin's hand, "Then I will send a message to the northbound detachment." ”
