Chapter 126: The Meeting and the Dilemma

The night was as cool as water, and the whole world fell into a kind of silence, but at this moment, the lights in the conference room jumped and jumped, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

After a violent quarrel, the five people present at this time were silent with each other, and no one spoke.

During the day, an urgent message came from the Jinfeng Plaza in the center of the city, requesting the Haizhou base to rescue it. This Jinfeng Plaza is a well-known comprehensive square integrating business and leisure in the downtown area of Haizhou, adjacent to the municipal government, and is a major commercial center of Haizhou City.

When the apocalypse happened, all the exits of the square were closed, so many survivors entered the square to seek refuge. After a long time, by the time the Haizhou base learned about the situation there, more than 2,000 people had been placed in the Jinfeng Plaza.

These survivors depend on the supplies stocked in the shops and restaurants in the square, and there is no shortage of necessities for life. If nothing happens, it can last a long time.

After establishing contact with the Haizhou base, although the base could not directly rescue them, Bluestar Plaza was officially included in the control of the base, and a company of troops was stationed by helicopter to protect them.

But the problem is that during the day today, Jinfeng Plaza suddenly sent a message that a large number of zombies were blocking the entrances and exits of the square, and the situation was quite critical, and the base was requested to send reinforcements.

For this matter, the leadership of the base was divided, and it was difficult for the five leaders who met to make a decision on how to deal with it.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn, and the five people in the meeting were making their own calculations, and no one took the lead in speaking. Fang Chongjun frowned, and a wisp of smoke rose from the cigarette in his hand, bringing the entire conference room into an even more dull state.

Fang Chongjun is the current leader of the Haizhou base, before the outbreak of the apocalypse, his identity was the deputy secretary of Haizhou City, and the position of deputy secretary is also considered to be a high authority, and he is the No. 3 person in the municipal party committee, but because of his age, Fang Chongjun does not have much pursuit, and is ready to retire.

But what he didn't expect was that when he was about to retire, a crisis changed his schedule. Mr. Fang survived the crisis and learned from rescuers who arrived later that the party secretary and mayor had died, and that he had become the nominal supreme authority in Haizhou.

"Commander Yu, can't we really spare any more manpower to help the people over there at Jinfeng Plaza?"

After a long silence, Fang Chongjun opened his mouth and asked a middle-aged man in military uniform sitting on the left-hand side.

The middle-aged man was about fifty years old, his temples were already a little pale, and his dark face was frowning at the moment. He is now the top commander of the military department of the Haizhou base, Yu Yangyi.

When the end of the world happened, Yu Yangyi held the position of the commander of the military sub-division who was the highest person in charge of the military department in Haizhou, and the police sounded everywhere that night, and Yu Yangyi reorganized the army in a panic to carry out the rescue, and it was precisely because of his timely unified command that the military department at the level of the military sub-district could complete the rescue and evacuation so quickly.

After the establishment of the Haizhou base, Fang Chongjun served as the person in charge, and Yu Yangyi naturally served as the second person in charge of the military.

After listening to Fang Chongjun's questioning, Yu Yang looked at Fang Chongjun and knew that Secretary Fang was still inclined to rescue the people from Jinfeng Plaza.

However, Bluestar Plaza is located in the center of the city, and the rescue is quite difficult, although there are more than 1,000 soldiers on the base, but if they really put into it, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties.

In addition, the base is not at peace, first, to maintain an external military presence to resist the invasion of zombies, and second, to constantly open up new residences and operation areas, expand the actual control scope of the base, for a steady stream of survivors to come to the Haizhou base to live, all of which require a large number of troops.

The available strength of more than 1,500 people is too small for Yu Yangyi, where is he willing to let the soldiers take such a big risk to go to the city center to save people. For a base, a certain scale of military strength is very necessary, and if the military strength is insufficient, the base will be put in danger, and it will not be able to deter some people with evil intentions in the base.

"Secretary Fang, as I said just now, although the situation over there is critical, we are also beyond the reach of the whip! Moreover, the Xuankou and Tongda in the south, Yaguan and Yanshi in the west, and even the north, all need to be garrisoned, and there are really not too many people! Yu Yangyi frowned and said.

Fang Chongjun nodded understandingly, he knew that what Yu Yangyi said was very reasonable, and as the person in charge of the base, Fang Chongjun also understood the environment in which the base was located, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was walking on thin ice.

But thinking that there are more than 2,000 survivors on the side of Blueview Plaza, it is obvious that he can't ignore them.

"Commander Yu, aren't there still a few infantry fighting vehicles and armored ambulances in the defense regiment, can you send them over to transport some people back?"

Yu Yangyi shook his head: "The number is too small and has no obvious effect, so I don't recommend it." ”

"That's it!" Fang Chongjun fell into thought, and his right index finger tapped lightly on the table.

The contradiction now is that Fang Chongjun is inclined to send troops to the aid of Bluestar Plaza, while the people led by Yu Yangyi and others are more focused on the defense of the base itself.

Neither of these is wrong, but when I encountered the incident of Bluestar Plaza, it triggered a certain collision of ideas.

Fang Chongjun sighed, he wanted to rescue, but there was not much spare power on the base side.

"There are still a lot of paramilitaries who maintain law and order in the base, almost 500 people, let them take over the soldiers of the defense regiment to defend the base, and then transfer some soldiers to the rescue, I don't know if this will work?"

Said a slightly chubby, bespectacled man.

This is one of the members of the base's leadership, who used to be the county magistrate of a county under the jurisdiction of Haizhou City, and is now in charge of logistics.

"This can't be done, the security personnel can't move, and the order of the base still depends on them, without them, we will be in a mess inside!"

The person in charge of the internal security patrol of the base immediately stood up against it.

The current relatively strict control in the Haizhou base, any minor crimes before the end of the world will be severely punished, which requires a strong law enforcement department, if they are transferred, the order of the base will be chaotic.

"Lao Zhao has a point, we must now prioritize the stability of the base, if we plunge the base into turmoil in order to save the people on the other side of the fairlight mall, the gains outweigh the losses! So you can't take too many people from the base! ”

"At the moment we have more than 35,000 people, and the military department is only 2,000, I think it's time to recruit!"

Yu Yang thought about it and said.

Fang Chongjun nodded, when the soldiers are used, Fang hates less, the stall is bigger, and the soldiers have to be used everywhere, which is really tricky.

"Can there be an adequate supply of weapons?" Turning his head, he asked a young man next to him.

"Our weapons and ammunition are enough for three thousand real combat troops." The young man in charge of the military material statistics replied.

"Then we will increase the actual combat strength by another 1,000, expand the number of combat personnel to 2,500, and increase the overall military personnel to 3,200. What do you think? Fang Chongjun turned around and asked.

Yu Yang nodded: "I think it's okay!" ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"The words over there ...... Jinfeng Plaza," Fang Chongjun thought for a while, "Since it is inconvenient to organize a large number of people to go to the rescue, let's first transfer the helicopter to airdrop weapons to them, let them do their best to defend themselves, and let the helicopter evacuate them, as much as they can, let's withdraw as much as they can." ”

"You will consider the specific evacuation plan later, and take a plan, but it really can't work, so they can only draw lots."

The rest is left to fate.

"There's something else to do." Fang Chongjun glanced at everyone and said: "At present, the base still lacks broadcasting radio equipment, which makes our governance not too efficient, and the military also lacks a communication platform for combat use......

"Can't we communicate with other bases, haven't Quanting and Dongou established bases over there, we can ask them for some assistance."

"I've contacted them, Quanting is carrying out a major military operation, and the supplies are also quite scarce, and Dongou said that he is also lacking, and there is no equipment to help us."

"Damn! Who thinks these things are less, they just don't want to help! ”

"Lao Zhao is right, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, no one will help us with these key materials!"

Although they are all brothers' bases, they are all under unified leadership, but when it comes to their own survival, selfishness still occupies an absolute advantage.

In the absence of a great improvement in the situation, Fang Chongjun understood that the Haizhou base, like other bases, had to fall into a situation of fighting on its own.

If the situation continues, I really don't know what else will happen.
