After months of preparation, the refinery at the Lion King base is arguably the largest in the Eastern and Western worlds and one of the most advanced. Cheng Lei looked at the billowing smoke coming out of the refinery, and at the crisp and pure oil that was refined, his heart was simply happy. The refinery's now finishing project has also officially started to provide a purer and more powerful fuel to their own aircraft.

Daheng City was the first force to buy oil from the Lion King base, because the Western Empire was too far away, and there was no mature oil refinery in Itos, and the oil refinery in Balunou would definitely not sell oil to Daheng City. So Mo Geda had no choice but to buy oil from the Lion King Base, of course Cheng Lei did not refuse, they wanted as much as they wanted, because the oil refined by the Lion King Base recently has fully satisfied the oil used by the Lion King Base, and there is still a lot of surplus leftover.

Cheng Lei hopes that the tanks and armored vehicles, as well as military trucks and civilian vehicles in the eastern world will soon increase, because only then will the oil produced by the refinery have a place to sell and his financial plan can be implemented. It's just that now the mechanization of the Eastern world has not been popularized at all, so the refineries are now not patronized at all except for those big forces.

Qi Mi was quite excited now, because he watched the oil mines and refineries grow up little by little, and now they were able to produce high-grade gasoline and diesel, which made his heart feel like a mess. This is the crystallization of his hard work, it can be said that the entire Lion King base and even their cement factory in the past have Qi Mi's figure in it, and Qi Mi is still an absolutely indispensable figure, and now the Lion King Army is becoming more and more unable to leave Qi Mi, and Qi Mi has also become an all-round person with multiple skills, which has to be impressive.

Cheng Lei discussed with Zheng Bin and felt that it was time now, so he convened a meeting of the heads of each regiment. Although there were not many people attending the meeting, the standard was very high, and Zheng Bin presided over the meeting, and Cheng Lei read out the decisions they made.

The content of the decision is: because Comrade Qi Mi has made great contributions to the Lion King Army since he started in Yinta City, the initial start-up capital of the Lion King Base was earned little by little from the original cement plant, and the original cement plant was built by Qi Mi with all his heart.

Later, Qi Mi went to the Lion King Base to help with the planning and construction of the Lion King Base, and then the construction of the new cement plant, the establishment of the arsenal, all the work of the logistics department, the establishment of the aircraft test site and all the work and even the manufacture of the aircraft. In the end, it is the successful commissioning of oil mines and refineries and the production of high-quality oil, all of which are the efforts of Qimi, and even without Qimi, these projects would not have been completed, at least not so smoothly and quickly.

Qi Mi's contribution to the Lion King Army and even the Lion King Base is obvious to all, so the decision announced by Cheng Lei is very simple: Comrade Qi Mi has always been conscientious and hardworking, and he is a model for my generation, and now he is awarded the rank of Major General and appointed as the deputy head of the Lion King Base, and comprehensively coordinates the affairs of various military logistics and even non-military groups in the base.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, because they were not surprised by this decision, and Qi Mi's contribution to the Lion King base was obvious to all. Qi Mi was the youngest among them, only twenty-four years old this year, but Qi Mi's hair was interspersed with gray hairs, which were the result of overwork. Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin will not disappoint them, there are two other people, one is Yin Kaicheng, and the other is Li Changcheng, both of them are awarded the title of major general, the meaning is very clear, that is, if the next time the title is awarded, they will inevitably be there, and then they will inevitably be awarded the title of major general.

As for Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin, they did not shirk everyone's strong demands, Cheng Lei was promoted to lieutenant general, and Zheng Bin was promoted to lieutenant general, so as to distinguish himself from Cheng Lei. Because Zheng Bin has said a long time ago that there can only be one supreme commander in the Lion King Army and the Lion King Base, so that outsiders will not have any ideas. Because if the deputy commander and the commander have the same military rank, it is easy to think that the two chief and deputy commanders are fighting for power or something else.

Cheng Lei bluntly said that Zheng Bin must have thought too much, but Zheng Bin was not convinced, thinking that Cheng Lei's thick lines did not consider this aspect at all. Cheng Lei had no choice but to rely on Zheng Bin, Zheng Bin was down-to-earth. Now Cheng Lei has become the only top leader of the Lion King Army and even the Lion King Base in the eyes of everyone, while Zheng Bin and Qi Mi are his deputies respectively. Of course, Zheng Bin will always have a higher rank and status than Qi Mi, after all, Zheng Bin's qualifications are too high and too old, and he was an instructor at the same level as Cheng Lei at the beginning!

After the award meeting, another wave of personnel adjustments will definitely come immediately, which is the usual practice in the past. Just when everyone in the Lion King Army was waiting for the order to adjust the personnel, the order did not come for a long time. It's not that Cheng Lei doesn't want to make personnel adjustments, but because now is the time when the Balon'ou army is pressing, if the personnel adjustment is carried out rashly, the soldiers don't know the officers, and the officers don't know the soldiers, and how to fight will be a problem, let alone win the battle. Therefore, I am afraid that this personnel adjustment will be postponed indefinitely, and it is very likely that it will be postponed until after the Balun Ouda army is repulsed.

When the news came out, a large number of officers who were already qualified for promotion couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that there was no hope or opportunity now. However, this war of aggression in Balon'ou is also an opportunity, and if he can win a few battles in key battles, I am afraid that his rank and position will rise like a rocket. Since Qi Mi, who was born as an ordinary soldier, can be the deputy leader of the Lion King Base, how come these ambitious officers can't be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Lion King Army?

Now Cheng Lei feels very satisfied with the ambitious spirit of these people, and he hopes that these people can continue this spirit in the future. knows how to use meritorious service as a pedal for promotion, which Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin are very willing to see, and they also hope that their soldiers are all soldiers with fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

As Cheng Lei expected, two days later, Silverstone was breached by Balenou's army. After two days and nights of street fighting, the Liedong Federation Army was forced to retreat, and all the way back to the fortifications and positions west of Vientiane. Now that Silverstone has completely fallen into the hands of the Balono, who have lost three or four thousand men in this war, they are still very dissatisfied, although they have left nearly 10,000 corpses of the Liedong Federation Army.

What if you're not satisfied? Of course, it's a good way to vent. So they burned and plundered in Silverstone, just as they did in the land of Toth. The people of Silverstone have suffered, and those who have not fled have become the targets of the Balen'ou army. Cheng Lei was not excited or angry after receiving these messages, he only had calm. Because only by trying to calm yourself can you calm the anger in your heart and then allow yourself to make the right decisions.

After Silverstone City, a large number of refugees will definitely flee, and Cheng Lei gave an order to open the city gates so that the refugees have at least a place to stay. However, it is necessary to strictly investigate the spies, and if any spies come in, put them in the dungeon first, and deal with them later when they have time.

At present, the aircraft manufacturing work at the aircraft test site is being carried out at full speed, and it is not still necessary to ensure quality and quantity. Their aircraft were planned to be assembled in ten days, but fortunately, the parts of the aircraft were ready for a long time, and every three planes were assembled at the same time, and after ten days, they could barely meet the test flight standards. Then the assemblers continued to assemble the next batch of aircraft, and there were special commissioning personnel to carry out the commissioning experiments of the aircraft, and all the work is now carried out in an orderly manner.

After Silverstone City was breached by the Balono, another group of tank troops from Daheng City entered Vientiane City. There were more than thirty tanks in this batch, and now all the tanks of the Federation Army have reached sixty or seventy. This is also the effect that Daheng City has achieved after it has been fully launched, after all, the accumulation of Daheng City for so many years cannot be underestimated, so the production and manufacturing capacity of their arsenal cannot be ignored after it is fully opened.

Moreover, Dahengcheng imported many large-caliber howitzers from the Western Empire to bombard the opponent's artillery group. Now the war has become a confrontation between Silverstone City and Vientiane City, and it is impossible for the new howitzers of the Balon'ou people to take care of all aspects, so the tank troops of Daheng City are still very advantageous.

The Valonou army has been standing still for the past half a month, and the federal army doesn't know what moths they are brewing. They also sent out sentries to investigate, but they did not find any useful and substantive information. Did the Baronons die after conquering Silverstone? Mogoda and Ginger thought that this was simply impossible, how could they stop after taking Silverstone? They must still be brewing some other military plans, but they can't find out at all from Vientiane City.

Three days later, what the Balon'ou had been brewing finally appeared, and hundreds of Baron'ou tanks suddenly appeared on the battlefield between Silverstone and Vientiane. This is a new type of tank purchased by the Balenos from the Western Empire at a high military expense, and the federal army in Vientiane City is in an uproar. Now that the enemy also has tanks on their side, and there are more of them than on their side, how can this battle be fought? How to play!

Seeing that the morale of the federal army was very low, and the leader of the federal army was also a little helpless, he immediately reported the latest situation to the Daheng City military headquarters, and on the other side, he sent a tank unit to deal with the tanks on the side of the Balono. After all the tanks on both sides were dispatched, the artillery of the Balen'ou army would certainly not open fire again, because they were afraid that they would accidentally injure their own men.

After the two tank units began to fight, the tank soldiers of the Federal Army found that these Baron's tanks were nothing more than that, and the Balen'ou could not defeat the Federation tank forces at all. Why is that? After a little careful thought, the commander of the tank unit of the Federal Army suddenly realized that their tank unit had been systematically studied and trained for two months by instructors sent by the Lion Army, and the tank unit of the Balonos was just a newcomer with no experience at all. Of course, they can't beat the tank forces of the Federation Army!

The tank units of the Federation Army went on a rampage and knocked the Bareno tank units back. Although the Baleno tank troops are veterans of a hundred battles, they have no experience at all, so they can't beat the federal tank forces. As a result of this battle, the Baleno tank unit was destroyed by the federal tank forces, and more than a dozen new tanks produced by the Western Empire were destroyed. The Valen'u people's very strong desire to win is also gone, although they are brave and strong, how can they not be as skilled as others is also in vain.

The Balonos were now at a loss and had to think of another way to deal with the tank forces of the Union Army. This life-and-death war is a stalemate, but the longer the stalemate lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Union Army. With enough time, the Balenos can train their tank units and allow them to acquire skilled skills. Of course, they can also teach tankers from the Western Empire some people who are familiar with tanks, so that the Federation Army will be completely passive. The leader of the Federation Army also reported this concern to the General Military Department of Daheng City, but Mo Geda and Jin Jie had no good solution.

Now they can only gather superior forces and march towards Vientiane City, while trying to improve and strengthen the walls and defense facilities of Vientiane City, otherwise when the Balon'ou army attacks with all their might, they may not be able to resist at all. The Federation also conducted a series of tank training in Vientiane, with the aim of making their own tank units more skilled and effective against Balen'o's tank forces.

The Federation has now reached the point of fighting on their backs, and if they continue to lose in this battle of Vientiane, the little advantage they had won by the tank forces will be lost. They cherish this little advantage very much, and they want to make the most of it, so that everyone can gain a considerable amount of confidence from this little advantage. Otherwise, in the face of so many Valen'ou elite soldiers, the Federation army can only end up in defeat.

Daheng City also made a heavy bet, and they sent more than 5,000 troops in Daheng City to Vientiane City to supplement the strength of the MixC Federation Army. Now there are only one or two thousand soldiers left in Daheng City, and if another Sabins corps attacks now, Daheng City will have no power to fight back, and it will inevitably be beaten to pieces. Therefore, on the grassland west of Daheng City, there are many sentry scouts on horseback every moment to prevent the Balon'ou people from suddenly using troops in Daheng City.

The people of Vientiane City are much more united than Silverstone, perhaps because Silverstone City has been war-torn and the people in the city have had enough of the war, and about half of the people have fled. However, it was the first time that the people of Vientiane City had experienced war, so they did not flee like the people of Silverstone City, at most only one or two percent of the people fled.

Cheng Lei learned after understanding that Vientiane City is a city-state with the best living conditions in the three northern cities, because Vientiane City used to be a large-scale trading city, so the people are relatively wealthy, and the local concept is much stronger than that of the people of Silver Stone City and Silver Tower City. That's why Vientiane City can be so cohesive, which is why the people of Vientiane City can stick to it. (To be continued.) )
