Chapter 145: The War of Public Opinion

After the brief pre-war mobilization, combat missions were quickly transferred to the rank-and-file units.

Zhuang Yichen's origin team was still placed in the front-line troops, protecting the firepower points on the defensive line from being attacked by agile monsters such as ghouls or ghost cats.

The next day, the news of the beast tide was directly announced to the whole camp on the radio of the Dawning Camp, and at the same time, a long special report quickly followed, from the number and real-time movements of monsters, to the deployment and firepower ratio of the camp's defense line, all of which were made public to the general public.

This was originally a war of public opinion, and the official media in the camp naturally turned on full force to build momentum for this beast tide.

Since the law on the abolition of mercenaries came into effect, mercenary teams above the rank of mercenary have been dispersed and placed among the general public, and have been mixed with the law enforcement points of the camp law enforcement teams, becoming a force for maintaining law and order.

As the momentum of public opinion spreads, the entire camp falls into a kind of depression and tension that the big war is approaching.

On the third day after the news was announced, the whole camp was divided into areas for an emergency evacuation drill after the monster invaded the camp, and the existing mercenary teams were all issued weapons to act as the second echelon of defense.

Under this series of measures, the public opinion guidance of the official media has fully played its greatest effect. The sense of oppression before the war did not cause panic or riots in the slightest, and under the orderly organization of the army, the determination and tragedy of everyone in their hearts to regard death as if they were at home were thoroughly mobilized, and all the work of the Dawn Camp was carried out as usual and in good order.

A man-made military operation, after a series of packaged propaganda, has screwed the hearts of the entire camp together.

It is foreseeable that after the end of the beast tide, the self-confidence and sense of belonging of all the people in the Shuguang camp will burst unprecedentedly! A series of panic and coercion caused by those monsters since the end of the world will be wiped out with such a real, victorious impact in front of us.

Politics is really a game that only highly intelligent people can play. What it needs is not intrigue and calculation, but a mind-set.

For this point, Zhuang Yichen simply admired the high-level think tank of the Shuguang Camp, they saw far enough and were clear enough. A war that can already see the results, he naturally doesn't care about it. So he pushed all the follow-up trivial matters on Lao Wang's head, and then continued to take Lin Xue and me up.

In terms of love, Zhuang Yichen has always felt that if a girl who has just been in love is not clingy, it is definitely because she doesn't love you enough, and there is no other reason.

So in the past month, he has tried his best to meet Lin Xue's requests for those brain-opening openings that pop up from time to time, and he has also tolerated all of Lin Xue's vexatious little emotions. In fact, these are just a girl who loves you wholeheartedly in love, and wants to use these methods to prove that you love her too. As a man, you can't even tolerate this, why should you ask others to entrust your life to you?

What's more, these are just the first appearance of love, and after a long time, the passion will always fade. The tacit understanding between the two people running in together and the bits and pieces of touching that shine in the ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, those are the real love.

The camp's preparations were intense and orderly, with truckloads of weapons and ammunition being sent to the front line from secret arsenals hidden deep in the mountains, Type 63 107mm towed rocket launchers, Type 69-1 40mm rocket launchers, and millions of wooden-handled grenades. If it weren't for such an apocalyptic catastrophe, these things would have been rusted and rotted in warehouses forever, or destroyed in batches. During those eventful years, no one can really count how many weapons and ammunition this country has stockpiled.

Since the founding of this young republic, the clouds of war have never dissipated in the skies of this country.

In the sixties, Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated seriously, and the Soviet Union deployed millions of troops on the Sino-Soviet border. Every day the leaders of that generation had to prepare for the Soviet tanks to cross the border and surprise the capital from the steppes of the Horse Plain. In the 70s, the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam broke out, and the clouds of the international cold war had not yet ended, and the flames of war in Southeast Asia had already burned to the southwestern border. The scale and tragedy of the war, which was deliberately downplayed by later generations for various reasons, was no less than that of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea when it had just been founded.

In such an international situation, generations of leaders walked on thin ice and walked cautiously to the 90s with their feet on the tip of the knife.

The bipolar pattern collapsed and the Cold War vanished. I thought that the dawn of peace in the new century would dispel the cloud of war that had hung over the Republic for more than half a century, but the reality was exactly the opposite.

The Milky Way incident, the Yugoslav Embassy, 81192, and the Taiwan Strait crisis that almost detonated at the slightest thought. Once again, this series of events brought the threat of war to the land. The entire nineties, that was the most humiliating decade for a generation that was deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Of course, you don't know this, not because it doesn't exist, but because someone has blocked it out of your sight.

Against such an international background, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the expansion of armaments and active preparations for war have almost become a national policy that does not exist on paper.

In the sixties, the construction of the third line was launched. The so-called third-line project is based on the vast territory of our country, dividing the whole country into three levels, and building strategic fortifications and industrial facilities at different levels. Such a tragic plan in itself is tantamount to preparing for the invasion and occupation of one-third or even two-thirds of the country's territory. Under the guiding ideology of deep holes and extensive grain accumulation, the mountains of the whole country have basically been dug up. The military-industrial complex, which has been broken into pieces, is scattered like sheep pooping in the mountains with closed traffic, producing weapons day and night.

Taking the Type 69-1 40mm bazooka as an example, the standard at that time was one for all soldiers, and it had to be assembled to the militia. Later, when the troops were reequipped, 30 million rounds of substandard bazookas produced during the **** period were destroyed at one time. The rest are still officially deployed to the present day.

And the number of grenades produced with wooden handles can be described as frenzied. With the population of the country before the end of the world, there was no problem with the average number of men and women, young and old. At that time, the militia even invented a set of production tools, "seven people moved", that is, a complete set of equipment for the production of wooden-handled grenades, which was simplified to the point that only seven people needed to lift them up to move them away, and put them down in another place to continue production.

Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, 7. 62mm guns, 107 rocket artillery, 122mm rockets, 60 mortars, 40 fire, various heavy machine guns, recoilless guns, various towed guns, 59 tanks, J-6 fighters. The quantities produced for these things are all prepared for the Third World War, and even after the Third World War is fought, these things may not be used up.
