Chapter 27 Tongling City
The only impression given to Zhang Xiaofan on the streets of Tongling City is that it is crowded, all places are inhabited, in addition to the main street is relatively spacious, the alleys on both sides of the street are densely populated with people, the conditions are slightly better You can also build a simple house, almost take a square with an iron sheet, and then build a roof on it, a family of a few people live in it, and even spread newspapers directly on the ground, sacks or something directly on the top of the people who sleep directly abound.
Perhaps seeing Zhang Xiaofan's doubts, Wei Yuanfeng took the initiative to explain; "There is no way to do this, the entire Tongling City is designed to live 2 million people, but now it is squeezed in, and 10 million people are not known. The leaders above are also very troubled, many of them work in the army and factories, and if they are expelled, the entire Tongling City will stop operating, and if they are not expelled, it will have a very adverse impact on the defense, fire fighting, and prevention of the spread of diseases in the entire Tongling City. ”
Zhang Xiaofan said; "Then you can assign them to other cities, there's no need to crowd them all in this city!"
Wei Yuanfeng explained; "How can other cities be safe here, to be honest, which of the people who can live here now has some ability, and other cities are also overcrowded, and we lack everything else in Huaxia is not lacking people."
Zhang Xiaofan agrees with this sentence very much, since ancient times, Huaxia has been the most populous country, although since the outbreak of the Horror Beast, Huaxia has been defeated in battles, retreating step by step, it can be said that the losses are extremely heavy, but compared with other countries, Huaxia Country is generally more appropriate.
According to the gossip that Zhang Xiaofan heard in his spare time, in addition to the temporary helplessness of several island countries in the world, there are several large countries that can barely block the attack of the dinosaur with the strong national strength accumulated in the previous life, and other countries have no power to fight back in the face of the tsunami-like attack of the dinosaur, especially a large number of countries in the western part of the Chinese country, all countries are full of contradictions, and they cannot work together to deal with the dinosaur, plus the terrain is flat, there is no favorable terrain to hold, and under the attack of the dinosaur like mercury, Populations are plummeting, and many small countries are on the verge of extinction. According to the estimates of some so-called experts, the population of Huaxia now accounts for at least one-third of the world's total population.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is that the army of Huaxia can recover in a very short time even in the face of serious losses. In addition, no matter how severe and majestic the fortifications are, as long as the design is out, it is only a matter of time before Huaxia Kingdom turns it into reality.
Of course, the downside is obvious, with such a large number of people to feed and enough space to house them, which is a big challenge for any country.
There is also a tradition of rebellion since ancient times, if they are extremely hungry, he will not reason with you to rebel first and kill you, as for the future problems, at least now it is the most important thing to fill your stomach first. This is definitely a problem that no one dares to ignore in the current situation that almost every family in Huaxia now has a gun and everyone has received strict military training.
However, these are not the problems that Zhang Xiaofan needs to consider now, now it is the most important thing to let his wounded get effective treatment, and then let his soldiers have a good sleep after a full meal.
The group followed Wei Yuanfeng to his station, where Wei Yuanfeng first asked the cooking team to cook for them, and then sent the wounded to the army's hospital.
Finally can have a good rest for a while, the soldiers led by Zhang Xiaofan can finally relax, once they relax tired, hungry, and painful will come to them like a tsunami to the mountains, and in a burst of 'sparse uproar', these soldiers threw their guns and ammunition, weapons and backpacks on the ground, and they found an open place to lie down in the east and west, and the snoring sound of the mountain and tsunami came in an instant.
Wei Yuanfeng is also very serious about this soldier, he also killed from the front line, he has a deep understanding of the suffering of the front-line soldiers, not to mention these soldiers who came out of the siege of the dinosaur, their experience is even more unbearable for ordinary people, which is also the reason why he takes more care of these people,
After a while, someone came to the cafeteria, saying that the meal for them was ready, and Zhang Xiaofan had to call them up one by one.
At first, when they were called, they scolded one by one, but when they heard that they were eating, their eyes were glowing green.
On the way to retreat, they only used compressed biscuits to pad the pads, especially when they broke through in the second half of the night yesterday, they discarded most of the supplies, and many people even threw away everything except for the necessary weapons in order to escape.
After breaking through, they had to ride again along the way, and they had to fight the dreaded beasts again, but now they relaxed, and their stomachs seemed to be twisted like knives.
A group of people rushed into the cafeteria, grabbed steamed buns like crazy and stuffed them into their mouths, and many of them rolled their eyes in choke. Zhang Xiaofan can't do this at first glance, if he doesn't eat it well, he will die.
Zhang Xiaofan beat and called for a busy meal to put them in order, and after eating, he arranged a place to live, but he still had to thank Wei Yuanfeng for his help, Wei Yuanfeng helped arrange everything, it was almost late at night, Zhang Xiaofan was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger.
Wei Yuanfeng invited Zhang Xiaofan to rest in his dormitory, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't refuse, and he didn't bother to excuse himself, he only wanted a bed now, and the rest would be talked about tomorrow. Lying in Wei Yuanfeng's dormitory, Zhang Xiaofan almost fell asleep with his pillow, and before Wei Yuanfeng walked out, Zhang Xiaofan's snoring came out deafeningly.
Wei Yuanfeng did not leave immediately, but stood quietly outside, and after a while, as if he had made some kind of determination, he walked outside quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.
The next day, Tongling City, the conference room of the Northwest Theater Command.
The entire conference room will be brightly lit, and if a person who is familiar with the military affairs of the Northwest Theater can see it, he will find that there are almost a few people with the highest power in the Northwest Theater concentrated here. One by one, all of them have heavy troops in their hands, and everywhere they are characters who will tremble when they stomp their feet.
But now they are like schoolchildren who have done something wrong, one by one they hang their heads and dare not gasp, and all this is because of General Zhang Jingtao, who is known as the 'Lion of the Chinese Country'.
Zhang Jingtao, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater of the Chinese People's Republic of China, with the rank of general, is nearly 60 years old, and he has almost no gray hair on his head, and he has cultivated a momentum that has been in an important position for a long time without being angry and arrogant; unlike several other theater commanders who rely on connections to promote him, his commander-in-chief is almost entirely built up by relying on his military exploits.
But now his unangry face could not hide the deep exhaustion, and his straight back also showed signs of bending.
Sitting next to him is Xiao Changgong, the political commissar of the Northwest Theater, and the two have been partners for more than 20 years, from the outbreak of the disaster to the present, from a small regiment commander to the prestigious commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater. The two have come through ups and downs, and it can be said that they have cooperated quite tacitly.
However, just now Zhang Jingtao had to lose his temper with him, for no reason, because his report said that the current situation was useless and precarious.
After a long cold time, Chief of Staff Wang Changlin had to come to play the round, he coughed lightly and said; "It's a little inappropriate for Commander Zhang to speak in a hurry just now, please don't mind."
He went on to say; "As Political Commissar Xiao just said, in the entire retreat operation of the northern defense line, if the retreat of personnel is barely considered a success, then the loss of weapons, especially heavy weapons, is absolutely unbearable."
Again, he said; "However, now that the problem has been solved, it is no longer helpful to hold anyone responsible, and the most important thing now is how to solve the problem."
He finally said; "The solution to this problem is actually very simple, it is nothing more than two points, it has been remanufactured, and the second is to find back the lost heavy weapons."
There was a lot of discuss; "Nonsense, do you still need to say this? To put it simply, the factory that can make heavy weapons has long since fallen, and as for recovering the lost weapon, if the weapon can be recovered, is it still used to lose it? ”
Wang Dalin said a lot of things, but unfortunately there was no useful sentence.
Zhang Jingtao interrupted him impatiently and said directly; "Alright, let's not talk about the useless ones, I ask you how to recover the discarded weapons, and how to recapture the arsenal."
Wang Dalin, who was talking a lot just now, seemed to be stepped on his neck all of a sudden, and he only said it for a long time; "It's still going to be decided by everyone."
Zhang Jingtao's anger was born as a Buddha, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, this Wang Dalin is known for his 'mouth cannon', and he has no other skills except for a broken mouth. However, Zhang Jingtao could only suppress his anger, as we all know, his relationship with political commissar Xiao Changgong is not ordinary, Wang Dalin was originally parachuted in as a person who restricts them, otherwise he would not have been able to do anything and eat nothing, and in any case, it would not have been his turn to be the chief of staff of the main theater of operations. But he still thinks that I feel good, and he makes a high-pitched statement when he has nothing to do, because everyone dislikes him and there is nothing he can do.
Zhang Jingtao waved his hand helplessly, and he could only offer this living treasure. motioning for Wang Dalin to sit down, he said again; "Anything else?"
Political Commissar Xiao Changgong opened the conversation again, he looked at Zhang Jingtao and said; "Of course there are things and it's all bad news, are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Say!"
Xiao Changgong didn't care about Zhang Jingtao's attitude at all, an old man who has worked together for more than 20 years, Zhang Jingtao's temperament, he is still clear.
