Revised Volume VII From the Beginning Chapter 7 Gathering Dragons. Novella
After the bigwigs mediated the dispute, they rushed to Leilondo non-stop to "take a look". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I really don't know what they want to see, so I have to muttered in my heart while pulling the busiest busy man Han Han over to accompany me. I don't know if it was because of Dai Jun's slanderous accusations or what, their attitude towards me was even more indifferent and bad, and they immediately picked the wrong one as soon as they came. After reading the briefing sent by Han Han, Zhao Yuanmin actually asked a question that made all the Lei Longdo entourages present dumbfounded:
"Major General Huang, what are you doing with so many Chinese people? Do you think they're not powerful enough? β
This sentence made Han Han's face pale. I rolled my eyes and said, "Chief Zhao, you're too narrow-minded, aren't you?" Samsung belongs to all mankind, and it is not exclusive to Huaxia or the sphere of influence carved up by several major countries in the world. Within the scope of the official's authority, those who are capable will use it, and whoever likes to use it will use it. It's my own business to use it wrong, so I don't need you to worry about it all the time. β
This time, his pale face changed back to Zhao Yuanmin. He glared at me angrily for a long time, and Guo Guang and his entourage fought for a long time before they dissolved the frozen atmosphere. Although Lao Zhao couldn't stop muttering, "Forget your roots, forget your roots!" But in front of the infantry and mechanized troops who welcomed the mechanized troops, the voice was so faint that it turned into infrasound, and it is estimated that only me and Hongxiang could hear it.
Zhao Yuanmin made it clear from the first sentence of the plane that he came to trouble me, and I don't know if it was because the decayed dog that I inadvertently ran over and died while riding a bicycle when I was in Nandu was probably one in 50,000 may be because of his family (at that time, there were 2.2 million residents in Nandu, and 50,000 domestic dogs were registered). Hongxiang listened to my analysis and felt that the entertainment specifications that our Lei Longduo could provide far exceeded the 100-dog banquet, and he was so persistent in looking for trouble, it was probably not related to dogs, but from factional hatred. I think so.
Good guy, although I expected that Lao Zhao would be dissatisfied with us, I didn't expect that I would be dissatisfied to that extent. Although he ate our sugar-coated cannonballs before he began to check, he was extremely picky. Hongxiang was extremely angry and complained: "This dead guy has a strong ability to eat sugar-coated cannonballs, he ate sugar-coated shells, and the cannonballs came back as they were!" "I'm just going to be silent and wait and see what else they do. Anyway, this is my territory, Hu is very good, and it couldn't be easier to clean them up. The old men who have been sitting in the office on the main planet for a long time probably can't think of a way for us to fix people here.
After eating lunch, the Nandu inspection team began to inspect everywhere, and found countless problems such as poor management of firearms and the placement of confidential official documents everywhere. It wasn't until all of Leirondo's writing offices were paralyzed that they made their way to military installations and manufacturing plants. I didn't stop until half past six in the afternoon.
There are so many military facilities and corresponding manufacturing plants in Leilondo that it will take months to complete the inspections one by one. Instead, they rushed into the space warship manufacturing factory as if they had planned it, and began to look around and provoke thorns. After a while, Zhao Yuanmin called me over: "Major General Huang, your military appearance can be described as prosperous." But why hasn't the shipbuilding factory started? β
Hongxiang immediately explained: "Oh, that's right. We have now decided to stop manufacturing small ships below the frigate and go all out to build medium-sized and above warships. The ship-building platform is being remodeled. The original platform could only build small ships below 120 meters, but now it is expected to be able to build ships below 400 meters, and there are ...... for further expansion."
"Shut up, have you asked, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? Fake mud stick devils. Zhao Yuanmin glared fiercely at Hongxiang, who was not even a colonel, and turned to me, "Major General Huang." A war is a war, but you must also pay attention to reining in your edge. Is it too much to expand the fleet in such a hurry? For example, if you ask for the compensation money from Alpha this time, if you just collect it, it will cause resentment. Why don't you talk to the Youth Foundation and donate half or 80% to the poverty alleviation project in the western region? β
This old guy really wants to think about it! Want to kill with words? I glanced at Hongxiang, who was smoking angrily next to me, and replied: "The front is the tightest, if you are willing to reduce the poverty alleviation funds by half and eighty percent to invest here, I am very willing to accept it." That's when you can build a modern-grade manufacturing platform. β
Zhao Yuanmin probably didn't expect me to refuse on the spot like this, so he trembled with anger, pointed at me and said, "You, you!" Don't blame me for not reminding you, you're being badly rated right now! I'm kind enough to give you a chance to improve your rating, and you actually treat me like this! Are you also worthy of those children who have been poor since childhood, who have dropped out of school, who have been destitute, and whose lives have been in darkness? β
"Don't get involved with the children, chief." I replied calmly, "If we don't do our best here, and the safety of the main star is not guaranteed, then there is no point in poverty alleviation in any form and scale." Besides, you are poor, whether you help or not, the effect is very different, and it is better not to help - Ming people don't talk in secret, we grew up in backward areas, and we all understand this since childhood. Poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation, the more poverty alleviation, the poorer it is. β
Zhao Yuanmin's eyes were red with anger, and the corners of his mouth trembled and he wanted to talk to me. Suddenly, his subordinates sent a bunch of inspection reports, and after looking at it, he immediately exclaimed, "Major General Huang, you are too bold. Unauthorized theft and misappropriation of technical content restricted in Special Article 301! Look at me to notify the 301st Management Committee, and take a good look at how many problems you have! β
I was angry with him for a day, and my heart was already very unhappy, so I immediately pushed back: "Go shout, shout!" You have a backstage, but Lao Tzu doesn't? Turn them all out to see who is afraid of who! β
It is rare for Leilondo and the leadership representatives of Nandu GDI, who is behind the scenes, to turn around when they first meet. I ordered them to be lowered by four levels in the evening, and then ignored Zhao Yuanmin's fire-breathing eyes, leaving them aside and going home.
Han Han, Guo Guang, Basque Bing, Titus and others all came to my house to have a barbecue party and drink alcohol to vent their dissatisfaction with the Nandu inspection team. After three rounds of drinking, my mood gradually calmed down, and I pulled Hongxiang aside and asked quietly: "You are in charge of the shipbuilding factory, is there any content that breaks through the 301 clause?" β
"Do you want to break through? It's so simple! If you go to Sinbad Ballroom, the low-gravity dance venue in the middle is it! Hongxiang smiled bitterly: "Now there are a lot of technologies circulating on the Internet that exceed the 301 clause, and it is not difficult to find." These things must be found in the factory, but if the inspectors have malicious intentions, it will be more troublesome. β
This is complicated to say, and it's actually not uncommon. For example, there are countless mahjong tables in front of my hometown, and everyone is gambling in the open air in a group gamble. Each bet ranges from five cents to five hundred - but the law does not stipulate at all that what is less than a large amount is not considered gambling, so these are all gambling, and a bet of one point cannot be said to be not gambling. If the police will arrest them every time they see them, they must be busy. It didn't take long for the police and the people to reach a tacit agreement not to go too far and turn a blind eye, and this kind of thing went on so much and illegally for decades in broad daylight on such a large scale. Usually, the entrance of the police station is full of mahjong stalls, and the police have to walk sideways to get to and from work, and sometimes they have to ask the gamblers to stand up and give way, so there is no problem of invisibility. However, the police will only arrest people if they receive an order from above to carry out large-scale social order rectification. Those who are caught are only unlucky: the whole society is doing that, and they usually don't break the law. Only when the police think they should be arrested will their actions be punished in reality for violating the law.
In other words, many places on the main planet are using this "new" technology that is slightly beyond the boundaries of the 301 Act (because many of these technologies have been used for many years, whether it is new or not is really a question to be explained by legislation), and all the more advanced machine manufacturing factories are using it, but these are not legal. As for the super-large-scale gambling that Overmars and them built a modern ship, no one cares about it, so we can only blame our lives for being miserable, and we can't get it so big, so scared that the gamblers don't dare to come.
After listening to my explanation, Hongxiang applauded again and again: "Clever, clever, and the metaphor is simply very appropriate!" I wonder what your best plan is for it? β
He was obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanmin's sarcasm for his low rank in the afternoon. To be honest, I feel very embarrassed to have wronged the **** of the heavenly realm to my side for a year, and I am only a lieutenant colonel with countless achievements. At the moment, he had to compensate him with a face, and promised that as soon as he contacted Tan Kang, he would focus on his promotion. Hongxiang didn't eat my empty check, and asked directly: "Hey, people are going to catch their heads when they catch gambling, what can you do?" β
"Alas, this ......" I was worried for a minute, I didn't come up with a good move, and when I saw Basque Bing shaking over, I grabbed and asked: "Those nerds in the southern capital are going to notify the 301st Management Committee to come to us for trouble, anyway, the trouble will definitely be found." It is said that the 301st Management Committee is a very tough old man, and the sugar-coated cannonballs are estimated to be unable to move, do you have any good solutions? β
Basque Bing also made enough trouble for the Nandu gang today, and some people actually questioned him why he was so dark and fat, as if they had to say that there was a problem with the DNA sequence before they were satisfied. He was dissatisfied, drank a little more, and when he heard the question, he jumped up and shouted, "Kill, kill, kill!" Let me take 300 commandos, and Simba 300, surround their garrison and annihilate them, and see who can kill them quickly! β
"Chubby, you've really drunk too much, come and sit here!" Han Han shouted angrily and called Basque Ice over, found a glass of ice water to pour him, and said to me with a wry smile: "What he said seems to be the simplest and most direct way...... But we have all developed to this point, we should find some civilized ways to solve it, every time we use knives and guns, it is not always a way. β
The current situation is difficult to resolve. If I want to show my hand to Admiral Overmars, I can think of it. But is it worth the risk to these fools from Nandu? I was groaning when the phone rang......
The phone rang unusually: this week it was Hanhan's turn to lead the class, and today she was entrusted to Simba because she was going to attend my private dinner, and in principle he could handle all matters in advance, big and small. Our group of leaders have a very bad habit: in peacetime, when we encounter this kind of break, we turn off our mobile phones and go to play, and the shift leader handles all affairs. Unless there is a particularly important matter, the orderly will be contacted, but fortunately, Lei Longdo is not big and not too much of a hindrance. My landline is not something that everyone dares to call, and Simba is constantly bored enough to call to harass our interest......
"Hey, it's really a Xin Bird Man, what's the matter?" Hongxiang has already picked it up for me. When he heard this, he handed me the phone: "Very important matter, it seems that there is a war situation." β
The war situation?
Everyone present looked puzzled. Indeed, although the very few Feria troops left in space after the July Incident between the Earth-Moon and the Space Cross and the Three Stars were roaming, sometimes harassing and attacking merchant fleets (half of which were impersonated by Basque Bing's men), they were by no means strong enough to attack the Three Stars on their own initiative. After the last time Alpha was knocked out by us, the ground army was insufficient, and the fear of being attacked by Feria pirates specially invited the Kuibyshev fleet to patrol and protect, and it has not yet withdrawn.
So, where did the war come from?
With doubts, I picked up the phone and started without waiting for Simba to speak: "Xin, you have worked hard too, I just blame you for your bad surname." What a little thief is worth all the fuss you make, you just send someone to deal with it. Why don't I send you some grilled chicken wings? It's delicious. β
"Get out of the **** bastard, I'm talking about business!" Simba scolded loudly angrily: "You all come over to me, come to the command center." This time the situation was quite unusual, and I had already informed the fleet to make the second level of combat readiness, and at the same time mobilized the 1st Mechanized Division and the 1st Infantry Division to the first level of combat readiness. β
"You don't need to do that, do you?" I couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to accuse him of making a fuss and overstepping the command, but suddenly remembered that as the leader of the class, he had the authority to deal with it, and at most he would say that he had mishandled it if the situation was not so serious afterwards. Since he said so, let's go check it out. He turned back to the crowd and said, "Let's go, move the barbecue grill to the command center and continue." β
The barbecue banquet in the command center finally didn't get started. As soon as we entered the hall, we felt an atmosphere of solemnity. Several large screens showed a mountain recess fifteen kilometers south of the central district of Leilondo. Simba's adjutant Shen Wu reported cracklingly:
"An hour ago, a slow-moving space object was detected on the radar screen. We told the fleet to send personnel to take a look, but they said that they were magnifying the fake and that there was no force to be dispatched. You have to ask the commander to think about it......"
Hongxiang hurriedly explained: "It's really not. A while ago, the assault drill on the new ship was lacking, and the battleship also had to do a second-level maintenance, and now it is indeed impossible to draw out decent manpower. I have commanded that as long as it is not a hundred thousand urgent, it will not matter. If I really encountered such a thing, I would have to take some of the ships that had been repaired more than half of them from the maintenance platform, or just use the ghost machine to count on the top. That's too risky. β
"Understood." I turned my face to Shen Wu: "Go on." β
"Those things have a weird shape, and when they reach the ground, they lose their tracks and don't float in the air anymore. Our scouts reported that the land had gone into a very strange situation and had turned into something like rotten flesh. The location of the three red dots shown on the screen is where they landed in the air, where a never-before-seen structure appeared, initially about a meter in diameter. The Scout uses the term 'brood' in his debriefing, describing a nest that resembles a giant insect. Due to the unclear situation, we did not dare to use flares, strong light auxiliary camera systems, etc. for the time being. The roads there are not easy to walk, the large equipment is not very lucky, and at the moment we can only rely on the accounts of the scouts to understand the situation. So far, the brood has expanded to a diameter of about ten meters. Chief Xin has ordered the 1st Infantry Division and the 1st Mechanized Division to be ready for combat at the first level. Debriefing is complete. β
I pondered for a moment, then turned to Simba and asked, "What do you think is going on?" β
"Suppose an enemy of an unknown faction." Simba's finger was on the map: "This is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent location to build a forward fortress." If the enemy has enough troops, it will be an excellent base for attacking the south of the central area. If there is a long-range artillery, it can even be shelled directly into the central area. However, they only have three broods now, and they don't know what is going on, so they should not act rashly. I think it would be better to use the 1st Infantry Division to build a defensive line, the 1st Mechanized Division to stand by, and then to conduct a small exploratory reconnaissance and raid with the available forces of the fleet. β
"Why don't you test your infantry?" Hongxiang immediately protested.
"He's right, don't fight." I nodded and persuaded Hongxiang: "The terrain there is too bad, and if the infantry attack happens, it will suffer great losses. The Air Force comes and goes freely, and if it runs fast, let's use the Air Force first. β
That night, the citizens of Leilondo saw a rare sight: truckloads of elite infantry were transported to the south without stopping, and the convoy continued for three hours without interruption. Because the south gate was completely blocked by infantry vehicles, the mechanized troops made a detour to assemble south from the east and west gates.
In Leilondo's nearly fifty-year history, this is the largest military move. Even the Nandu inspection team, who was in Caesar's palace and enjoyed the sugar-coated shells, felt this atmosphere and kept calling to see if it was a precursor to a coup d'Γ©tat that I had eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard. Han Han took the trouble to answer this kind of call, and when she received the fifth, it was Zhao Yuanmin who called directly, and she also remembered the grudge, and immediately threw the phone to me angrily. I was busy, but I didn't have so much time to talk to him, so I replied bluntly:
"If you want to clean you up, just send a security team over, where is the need to mobilize so many people? The so-called killing chickens with a knife, don't be sentimental when you are old. β
Zhao Yuanmin was angry with me n times, he was already a little nervous, and he began to foul speak: "You, you, you...... The surname is Huang, what do you mean? You idiom how dare you talk to me like that! β
"What do you mean? That's what it means. I'm comforting you idiots, and it's a matter of your idiot's level that I don't understand. I also scolded back in the Nandu dialect, and after I finished speaking, I hung up the phone with a snap, turned my face to Han Han and said: "In order to enhance the security of the leadership inspection team, the central security detachment is sent over to be bayoneted." β
Han Han smiled and agreed.
By midnight, Regiment A of the 1st Infantry Division was fully in position and began to build fortifications on the high ground along the road in the southern sector. Because the terrain was too poor, it was difficult for the follow-up soldiers to reach it for a while, but the brood became bigger and bigger, and the largest one reached a diameter of 26 meters!
Beetle-like things continue to gush out of the roots of the brood, and some move to the edge and then transform into new strange structures. The Red Fleet managed to gather fifteen ghost planes, installed bulletproof steel plates, and flew over to reconnoitre, but they fired countless green spores at those strange buildings, crashed one, injured eight and fled in embarrassment.
Simba immediately accused Hongxiang of being ineffective and running away. Hongxiang argued for two sentences, saying that only two of those air defense facilities were destroyed by fifteen planes together, and new ones were constantly being produced in the future-since it was absolutely impossible to fight, retreating was the wisest choice. Seeing that he and Simba were about to fight, I persuaded him to make peace: "Forget it, forget it, let's make a move." After all, it's a xenomorph creature that no one has ever seen before, so who knows what's going on? I'm going to see for myself, and you continue to prepare. β
"That's not going to work, how can you get out of here and go to the front at this time?" Han Han immediately objected.
"Then tell me, what am I staying here for?" I smiled and said, "You are all too capable, I have nothing to do, it is better to go and see for yourself." β
It seems that everything is in order and under control. But things took a turn for the worse than we expected. When I got on the helicopter and flew in the direction of the brood, the beetles that had swelled to the roots of the brood in a radius of more than 40 meters began to hatch in large numbers.
In just fifteen minutes, the first batch of adults poured out. These adults were very similar to the monsters I had seen on Zhongshan back then, except that they were slightly thinner and smaller, about the size of an adult wolfdog. However, with a scream of monsters that shook the sky, the three broods hatched more than four hundred such monsters at the same time, and suddenly rushed all over the mountains in the direction of the southern border of the central area!
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is that!" The frightened cries of the helicopter pilots outweighed even the loud roar of the engines.
These are obviously the things that Dai Jun came to tell me, but how did they end up here? I looked down on the dark ground, and my mind was full of doubts, and I didn't say a word. In less than a minute, they galloped in front of the line of defense of Regiment A of the 1st Infantry Division.
In an instant, thousands of rain of fire poured out on the battlefield, covering the place where the monster was located tightly, like a spark suddenly erupting. The rain of thunder and bullets stopped in less than ten seconds, and then more than a dozen incendiary bombs were fired from the position, reflecting the flat ground in a snow-white color, and the helicopter seemed to be swept into the daytime created by the overclocked sun, and the people without sunglasses complained bitterly (every time I encountered this kind of bad luck, I was the first to take the lead). I blinked my dizzy head vigorously and looked down carefullyβ
The results were brilliant. If it's the kind of monster you encountered when you came to Nandu, you're in trouble. That kind of monster is dozens of times more durable than the dragon bone soldiers, and even if it is blocked by ultra-dense firepower like Regiment A, it is hard to imagine that it can successfully block the attacks of hundreds of such monsters unscathed. However, this kind of monster seems to be a severely shrunken simplified version, and most of them are beaten to pieces, bleeding all over the ground, and the death is horrible. I couldn't help but sigh and let go of my little heart. Turn on your mobile phone and dial Guo Guang:
"It's okay, it's not that kind of guy. It may be that Nandu is too poor to make it so expensive, and what is made now is a super simplified version......"
Before I finished speaking, the little lewd thief shouted in the microphone: "Rhubarb, you quickly retreat, there is more fierce coming from behind!" β
Before he could finish his words, an even more violent monster cry erupted in the distance, which lasted for about ten seconds, and then the earth shook heavily. The monsters struck like a tidal wave, and the windy wind caused the helicopter to shake violently! Seeing that the situation was not good, I immediately ordered the pilot to return home.
As soon as the plane turned around, a wave of monsters rushed to the position of Regiment A. Although the rain of bullets was as strong as Shicai, it continued for about a minute before stopping. Flares were then raised, reflecting dead bodies all over the ground, which had become an asura field. However, what is even more terrifying is that there are hundreds of mutilated corpses of our soldiers. After all, the monsters tore a hole in the supposedly impregnable defense line of Regiment A.
"Don't think about going down and meddling, come back soon!" The little lewd thief saw through my thoughts, and shouted anxiously on the other side of the phone: "There are about 1,600 monsters in this wave, and I don't know what will happen next, you can come back soon!" In the background, there was a cold and anxious call: "Simba, how are you doing over there?" Quickly replenish the defensive line, and there is no room for error! β
How fast to reproduce? My face couldn't help but turn a little pale. Even if they're not terrible monsters, even if they kill thousands of wolfdogs every two or three minutes, it's enough for you! This bizarre "dog-sea tactic" is very different from the elite point attack on Feria, and our army, which has always been trained to fight in that way, has to suffer.
The helicopter was running fast, and within ten minutes I was back at the command center. The little thief also made fun of me, saying that it was fortunate that there was no fanfare that the Governor had gone to the front line to inspect and condole, otherwise it would be bad for everyone to know that the Governor was watching the wind in front of the monster attack. I thought about it: he was the one who wanted me to escape, and he was the one who sarcastically told me to flee - and suddenly my heart was full of anger, and I was ready to drag him to the toilet and beat him.
At this moment, Han Han walked over with a gloomy face and muttered two sentences: "At this time, what is the trouble?" Whatever you should do, what you should do, what you should do. The little thief got a savior, and immediately disappeared. Han Han said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good now. β
"Tell me, how bad is it?"
"This emergency shows our inadequacy in infrastructure construction." Han Han said loudly: "The distance from the north of the city to the south of the city is less than thirty kilometers, but it cannot form enough capacity in a short time. Now Regiment B is in the east, Regiment C is in the west, and regiments D and E are still concentrated in the city and can't get out! If we can't put this elite division to the destination in time to form a strong defensive line, we are in danger of being broken by each other. If the enemy's wave still appeared in four times the number, the defense line of Regiment A would be seriously injured if it did not collapse. β
"Alas, you also know that the money has been used to build a fleet and exchange army equipment, and you and I haven't even had time to match a decent special car......"
"I know all the circumstances, and I don't intend to blame anything in this situation." Han Han stared at me for a while and said, "I ask for authorization to Simba to temporarily transfer the command of both the infantry division and the mechanized division to him, so that the orders can be consistent and the military orders will be unimpeded." β
"Wait, wait!" I thought about it for two seconds and asked, "Is it that bad?" You should understand what I mean by dividing the command of the army, and now you are asking to hand over the power in your hands, and to him? β
Han Han still replied seriously: "It's not a last resort, and I won't make such a choice." β
"Understood." I immediately agreed to her request: "Then I will leave the overall arrangement here to you." I went with Bing Bing'er to defend the leader's station. β
Han Han asked in surprise, "It's strange, you still want to get them?" β
"I can't say why, but I always felt like the monster was coming at them. Don't believe that we tied them to the front of the battle and let the monsters eat them, to see if they retreat or not? After I released an extremely irresponsible remarks, I spread my hands: "Although I Lao Huang is known as the leader of the warlords and the master of the universe, he can only do the work done by these rough people, poor and pathetic!" The hero will perform the act of the Horse Leather Shroud, and you won't say anything to me? β
This sentence is somewhat ridiculous, and it is not appropriate for Han Han, who has countless entanglements with me. She glared at me with reproachful eyes, and suddenly said, "Don't joke with me, you're a strange person who can do miracles, and you'll be fine." However, once Chubby rushes to kill, he likes to slash and kill indiscriminately, and you have to take care of his life. β
"Got it. With me, the fat man can't die. I turned to leave, but suddenly my cold voice softened, and I said, "Come back safely." β
"I won't keep you waiting." I strode downstairs without looking back. (To be continued.) )
