Volume 3: The Struggle of the Last Days Chapter 133
"Changling Airport is here, Mingsha Heliport is here, and unknown forces are gathering here." Jia Zhongquan put his left hand behind his back, and his right hand was separated by a layer of cloth, pointing to the map spread out on the conference table, he hadn't slept all night, and when he heard Wei Yilin say that there was an unknown force in the Lake Valley, he immediately fell asleep, and immediately studied the map left by the group of strongmen.
"That is, if we can't pull it out, even if we occupy Changling Airport, we will be choked by the neck by this gang?"
"Yes, Changling and Mingsha are the two ends of the dumbbells, and this lake valley camp is on the grip of the dumbbells." Wei Yilin also stretched out a finger and pointed to the Hugu Camp Road, "Moreover, they also have a large number of infected people, and it is a matter of minutes to cut off this outer ring road." β
"How many of them are there? What weapons? β
"I don't know how many people there are, but it is estimated that there are no less than a hundred, and as for the weapons, most of what the students saw that night were shotguns, bows and arrows, and machetes."
"That's not a cause for concern."
"But they're going to use the infected to fight for them." Wei Yilin hurriedly "smashed" Jia Zhongquan's head with a stick to dispel his "arrogant" thoughts. Jia Zhongquan has a good strategy, but he also has a fatal flaw, that is, the common disease of smart people - conceit. It would be impossible to increase the difficulty of this matter in his mind before he began to plan, and to ask him to correct his opinion on the difficulty of this matter in the future.
"Noise can attract the attention of the infected, so the gang used a remote-controlled car, plus something like an MP3, to guide the infected." In order to make Jia Zhongquan more aware of the horror of this method, Wei Yilin decided to expose his scars, "We were raided by such a group of people in Lijiang, they used drones, hung firecrackers, and led the infected to attack us......
"These scumbags." Jia Zhongquan wiped his face with his hands, and when he put his hands down, his face also darkened, "Our fuel is not enough for helicopters to squander." But without the support of helicopters, even if the garrison could pull out the camp with just a few men, it would be a huge loss. β
"There are two routes to enter this camp, one is the main entrance, and the other is the secondary entrance twenty kilometers away, and their infected people are basically locked near the secondary entrance, between the two entrances, there is only a path dug along the mountain, this path, it was the students who destroyed this path at that time, and they got rid of their pursuit. If we're going to attack, we can destroy the trail first, so they can't look at each other. The resistance we encounter will be much smaller. β
Then Wei Yilin told him how the infected people came out and destroyed the generators under the dozens of bungalows, from beginning to end.
"One more thing, what about the captured captives?" Jia Zhongquan sat directly at the conference table, "There are hundreds of people in this camp, and they are all despicable people, if they resist, it is fine, but if they surrender, it will be difficult for us to deal with it." β
This is a big problem. Because looking at the change of dynasties, the most direct reason is that the majority of the total population has nothing to eat. If you don't have to eat, you will inevitably be driven by instinct to find and grab it. And this is exactly the problem that all the governors of the security zone must face now. But the choice before each ruler is different, the rice priests of the blood worship society can inject the blood containing the virus into those they think are useless, turning people into "weapons", increasing the weapons in their hands while reducing the consumption of food, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But Jia Zhongquan couldn't do this, because the appointment of the priest was illegal, and his appointment was legitimate. If it is legal, it must not do anything that is contrary to the existing lawβotherwise, it is a denial of the foundation of its own governance. Moreover, although the current identity of this group of people is also to worship blood remnants and should be executed, the problem is that according to conservative estimates, the number of blood worshippers in the entire Chixian County is more than one million, and if the news of "the martial law commander of Ren'an ordered the massacre of surrendered blood worshippers" spreads, it will do more harm than good to the operation to exterminate the remnants of blood worship.
In short, for the group of people in the Hugu camp, Jia Zhong is not suppressed, nor is he not suppressed.
"Teacher, here, there is an old road, which can bypass the two entrances and exits of this scenic spot, but the road is narrower, and the truck may be difficult to walk."
"Oh?" Jia Zhongquan looked at Wei Yilin's finger with interest, to be precise, the area he was pointing to.
"I heard the police in Lijiang say that there is a section of this outer ring road that coincides with the old road, and this section, and this section of the lake valley, the reason for building a new road is that the road is gentle, and the other is to develop this scenic spot."
Moreover, the distance between the two entrances and exits of the lake valley and the two junctions of the old road and the new road is also about ten kilometers. This mountain road, by walking, has to walk for most of the day. β
"You mean, if we use the old road to connect Mingsha and Changling, we can avoid the harassment of the remnants of blood?"
"The chances of being harassed are much lower." Wei Yilin is very sleek, after all, no matter how low the probability is, there is a possibility of being attacked, which is much safer than patting his chest to guarantee that he will never be attacked.
Jia Zhongquan held his lips with his left hand, his thumb still scratched his chin from time to time, and those panda eyes stared at the square map intently, it seemed that he was thinking about another thing again. What is this matter, although Wei Yilin is not sure, but he knows that this matter must be very important, otherwise how could the teacher who has been in charge of everything go to great lengths, leave Ren'an, take a two-hour helicopter, come to Lijiang, and personally command the battle in the granary of Xiaobeihe?
"Yilin, do you know what the airport and the granary mean to us?"
"By seizing the granary, we can temporarily calm the hearts of the people, and with the airport, we can give people hope. Let everyone know that we are not trapped in this mountain yet. β
"When I was studying, my teacher told me. The railway is the skeleton of the country, and with it, the country is a whole. Jia Zhong pointed to the railway in Ren'an, and his tone was very heavy, after all, there are some things that only those who have experienced it will understand.
"Above, we will definitely find ways to reopen the railway. But it's going to take a long time. Jia Zhongquan slowly moved his hand to Changling Airport, "Before that, it was the only channel we could get food, guns and ammunition, medicine, and fuel. Remember the story of Noah's Ark that I told you? β
"Yes. But it'......"
"Teachers make mistakes sometimes." It's really rare that someone as conceited as Jia Zhongquan actually bowed his head!
"But as long as one day, I am still your commander, and I will do everything I can to keep you alive." Jia Zhongquan slowly moved his hand away from the map, and then, slowly turned around, and walked out of the conference room little by little, outside the corridor window, it was the sun shining, this sunshine, it was really warm, "Before someone is willing to ask us, this granary is the only place we can't lose." β
"The only one?"
"With food, the garrison will continue to be loyal to Chixian." Jia Zhongquan's words are very explicit, after all, no one is stupid, they all know that treatises cannot be eaten, "There are many of my students, but you are the one I am most optimistic about." β
Wei Yilin, who had just walked to the door of the conference room, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, why did the teacher feel so strange when he heard this?
"Do you know why, when a school officer is promoted to a general, he has to go to a military academy and study again?" Jia Zhongquan slowly put on his sunglasses and pushed open the window of the corridor, and the cold wind from the Silver Dragon Snow Mountain immediately poured into the corridor.
"Because there are things that you can't understand if you don't have that age and experience."
"Hmm." Jia Zhongquan nodded, "Okay." β
"Today, I'm going to tell you about the tram paradox."
"People always make what they think is the right choice based on their own experience and knowledge. But there are no two people in the world who are the same. Jia Zhongquan leaned on the windowsill and gently put his left hand on the windowsill, "Some people think that five is more than one, so they will let the tram run towards that person." Some people think that if that person is a doctor, and the other five people are just gangsters, they will let the car run over those five people. β
"But the problem is that no one can determine the identities of these six people before the tram runs over them, so most people will choose to save five people and kill one."
"To give you a debut question, the grain in the warehouse of the martial law headquarters can feed 300,000 people until the beginning of next year. If it is only given to the garrison and a part of the special population, it can last for three years. You are the commander of martial law, how do you choose? β
"Uh...... This ......"
"It's an exam question." Jia Zhongquan said angrily.
"Teacher, who are these special people?"
"Children, teachers, medical staff, soldiers, some technicians."
"In three years, the railroad should be opened, right?"
"Yilin, I used to teach you to be far-sighted in doing things, but now, I add, sometimes, far-sightedness is equal to being strategic."
"Children and teachers are the future of Chixian." Wei Yilin raised his head and looked at his Jia Zhongquan sincerely, just like he did when he first answered the teacher's question more than ten years ago, "This is my choice, teacher." β
The dark clouds on Jia Zhongquan's face finally dispersed a little: "This is unfair, let future generations say it." β
"But these people have families, so we may not have enough food."
"So, I'm wondering if it's feasible to bring the people we need to Lijiang in batches."
It turned out that this was the purpose of Jia Zhongquan's tireless work and flying to Lijiang in person.
