Chapter Twenty-Eight: Linhe County Base

Xiao Changgong opened the notepad and said; "As the saying goes, people must have near-term worries, if the loss of weapons is near-term worries, then far-sighted worries are actually not far away, and our response to the 'northern defense line' by the dreadnaught beasts is still relatively timely on the whole, and most of the people we have placed them in various well-defended cities, in their ......",

"Talking about the point......" Zhang Jingtao interrupted him impatiently.

"The key point is that there is a shortage of food, a shortage of medicines, and a shortage of oil." Xiao Changgong said concisely.

Zhang Jingtao's face changed again; "Tell me more about it"

"To be more detailed, our Northwest Theater wants to have a population of 50 million, and they are divided into hundreds of cities, large and small, and we have to take care of them to eat, drink, and treat them when they are sick.

Zhang Jingtao listened patiently and said; "Is there anything you can do?"

Xiao Changgong said unhurriedly; I have two methods, one is to treat the symptoms and the other to cure the root cause, first of all, the oil to treat the symptoms is better, we have a large amount of oil reserves in advance, plus the implementation of the army's exclusive supply, and the loss of a large number of armored vehicles and tanks, so that there will be no problems in supporting the army for three to five years.

"As for the medicine!" Xiao Changgong continued; "We have a long history of traditional Chinese medicine culture, wild herbs around major cities, we can organize people to collect Chinese herbal medicines, if necessary, we can also specialize in planting, try to replace Western medicine with Chinese herbal medicines, as for those that can't be replaced, major cities also have some pharmaceutical equipment We can focus on the production of these medicines, and it is not a big problem for the time being."

The crowd nodded their heads; "This is what it looks like to do practical things, and this Wang Dalin is simply a piece of soaring.

Xiao Changgong took a sip of water and continued; "The most troublesome thing is food, we have 50 million mouths to feed, and no matter how much food we have stored in advance, we won't be able to last too long. Therefore, my opinion is that each city should demarcate the cultivated area, and there should be strict standards for how much farmland is cultivated and how much grain is harvested in each city, and the results of the audit should be used as an important promotion criterion for the person in charge of each city. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, now that the wild was the world of the dreadnail, if they wanted to produce food that could feed their urban population, the planting area must be quite large. Although they are all soldiers, not everyone has competed with the dinosaurs, many people have built defense lines in the rear, and climbed to their current positions by various relationships, and the combat effectiveness of the army under them cannot be compared with those who retreated from the northern defense line.

Zhang Jingtao was noncommittal about this suggestion, but asked; "And what about the root cause?"

Xiao Changgong glanced at everyone quietly and said word by word; "The way to cure the root cause is to recover Weizhou City at all costs."

"Boom", there was an uproar; "What are you kidding, recovering Weizhou City, it's better to let them die, if Weizhou City is so easy to recover, they are all stupid and have to give up." Zhang Jingtao's hands also trembled. Half a cup of water sprinkled directly on the table.

To tell the truth, giving up Weizhou City is an eternal pain in Zhang Jingtao's heart, the Northwest Theater Command was located in Weizhou City at the beginning, so it can be said that no effort was spared for the construction of the old Weinan City, and all kinds of factories are available, from guns and ammunition, to medicine and clothing, from small needles and threads, to tanks, armored vehicles, everything, it is simply an independent kingdom.

Moreover, Weizhou City is located in the Weihe Plain, surrounded by thousands of acres of fertile fields and countless fertile fields, and is an important commercial grain base in the Northwest Theater, feeding almost half of the population in the Northwest Theater.

What's more, not far from the old Weizhou City is the mother river of the Northwest Theater, the Wei River, and there is a large hydropower station built upstream of him, which has not been damaged in any way, as long as it is started, it can operate normally. The energy generated is also more than enough to cope with the entire Weinan region. This is also urgently needed for Tongling City, which can only rely on a few small thermal power stations, and has to pull the power rationing at night.

In a word, as long as Weizhou City can be regained, it will be able to reverse the unfavorable situation in the entire Northwest Theater in one fell swoop.

It's just that the terrain of Weizhou City is peculiar, long and narrow from north to south, and very short from east to west, and it is easy to be cut off by the dreadnailed beasts, coupled with the loose soil, it is very easy to 'drill the ground beasts' to dig and burrow, and the difficulty of defense has risen sharply.

It can be said that giving up Weizhou City was the most painful decision Zhang Jingtao made. Now Xiao Changgong can be said to be which pot is not opened, and now he is shouting to subdue Weizhou City, who will recover, and who will be stationed when he recovers, has Xiao Changgong not considered all this?

Zhang Jingtao looked at Xiao Changgong coldly and didn't speak for a long time, and the scene fell into an embarrassing silence again. It took a while before two words came out of my mouth coldly; "Adjournment!"

Everyone discussed as if they had been amnesty, packed their things and were just about to leave, when they heard Zhang Jingtao's voice coming; "Meng Jianbiao stayed."

The others all looked at an officer with sympathetic eyes, and the action of packing up their things couldn't help but be a little faster.

Meng Jianbiao is the commander of the city defense of Weizhou City, about forty years old, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a mighty figure; unlike other officers, his respect for Zhang Jingtao is far greater than his fear of him, and his relationship with Zhang Jingtao is similar to the relationship between Jiang Xiaobai and Zhang Xiaofan, and he has also relied on Zhang Jingtao's support to get to where he is today. It can be said that it is Zhang Jingtao's hardcore descendant.

Soon there were two people left in the conference room of Nuo University, Zhang Jingtao closed his eyes tiredly, and stopped for a long time before saying; "What happened yesterday," Zhang Jingtao pointed to the turmoil caused by Zhang Xiaofan.

Meng Jianbiao knew that Zhang Jingtao must have this question, and replied unhurriedly at the moment; "I investigated, it should be a unit withdrawn from the front line, and it should be dissatisfied with not being allowed to enter the city to vent its anger."

"Then what are you going to do with it?"

"This ......," Meng Jianbiao said after a moment's hesitation; It is normal for those soldiers to come back from the front line at all odds and dangers, and finally come here and be blocked outside the city, and it is normal to feel a little resentful, but fortunately, they only let go of empty guns for a while, that is, they did not violate any laws and did not cause any losses, I think it is enough to reprimand the commander who led the team. ”

"Oh!" Zhang Jingtao opened his eyes with some surprise; "So light?"

As if knowing Zhang Jingtao's doubts, Meng Jianbiao hurriedly explained; "This unit has also fought for the country for many years, and their retreat sequence is at the back, so it is not easy to come back alive. In addition, on the way to retreat, they were repeatedly besieged by the armor beasts, and more than half of the casualties of both soldiers and officers were killed, so it is normal to be a little resentful, and it is really not appropriate to be too harsh. ”

"That's right!" seemed to accept Meng Jianbiao's explanation, Zhang Jingtao said again; "Then how are you going to place this unit?"

Meng Jianbiao remembered what Wei Yuanfeng told him yesterday, and gritted his teeth and said; "I'm going to put them in my troops."

Zhang Jingtao laughed softly; "It seems that you still value them, but I'm afraid I can't let you get your wish. Now that Tongling City is overcrowded, it is really difficult to increase the population, so let's add some personnel and equipment to them and let them go to Linhe County to build a base by themselves. ”

Meng Jianbiao nodded suspiciously, and suddenly thought of the location of Linhe County, and a cold sweat broke out. The closest place to Weizhou City is Linhe County, and it seems that Xiao Changgong's words really made Zhang Jingtao listen to it.

In fact, Meng Jianbiao misunderstood him, Zhang Jingtao did not want to recover Weizhou City immediately, but wanted to make some preparations first, and planned to establish an advance base. At present, there are a large number of personnel who have been evacuated from the front line to the Northwest Theater, and the personnel need to be reorganized, and the materials and equipment need to be replenished, and there are simply no conditions for recovering Weizhou City. This is also where he is angry with Xiao Changgong, who doesn't want to recover Weizhou City, but he also has to look at the actual situation, and put forward some inappropriate requirements on inappropriate occasions, which is useless except to shake the morale of the army.

According to the news he got, Zhang Xiaofan's troops can be killed from the dinosaur beast herd, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and they are the best candidates for this task, even if they fail, anyway, his troops are like they were given for nothing, and even if they die, there will be no big loss for him.

Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in business, under the end of the world, Zhang Jingtao has already practiced hard as iron, as long as he can impress the purpose. He didn't have the slightest burden on consuming Zhang Xiaofan's troops.

After everything was explained, just when Meng Jianbiao was about to say goodbye, Zhang Jingtao's words made him fall into an ice cellar again.

"Tell your subordinates, don't go too far, know your responsibilities, and still do what you need to do."

Meng Jianbiao didn't know how he walked out of the conference room, but no one had seen He Guangbin since.

Zhang Xiaofan slept until the next afternoon, and after getting up, there was an indescribable feeling of comfort all over his body, as if the long-lost strength had returned to his body.

After standing up and going to the cafeteria to eat something, and then returning to the dormitory, Wei Yuanfeng had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhang Xiaofan, Wei Yuanfeng smiled embarrassedly and said; "Wake up, why don't you sleep more?"

Zhang Xiaofan replied; "I've slept enough, and I have to thank Captain Wei for taking him in, otherwise I and these brothers wouldn't know how we spent yesterday?"

Wei Yuanfeng replied; "Everywhere, everywhere is what should be done, you are all heroes who defend the country, a little bit of enthusiasm is not enough."

Looking at Wei Yuanfeng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhang Xiaofan smiled; "If there is anything in Captain Wei, just say it directly,"

Wei Yuanfeng sighed and said; "Brother Xiaofan, it's not that I don't help you, to tell you the truth, I went to my chief overnight last night to want to keep you, but just now there was a word from above, saying that the population of Xinweinan City is too large to flourish, and I want to resettle you outside."
