Chapter 69: The Situation
"It's not messy, just a few annoying little mice." The major general waved his hand indifferently.
"Although most of the resistance forces have been largely eliminated, either eliminated or taken refuge in us, there is no need to worry about them anyway. But there are still some strong-willed guys who have not given up, such as some officers who are themselves subordinate to the central center of the Celestial Empire......"
"I see, some guys who are not optimistic about you are still organizing resistance locally, trying to wait for reinforcements from the central government." The merchant said suddenly.
"Well, although the strength is not very good, and we don't regard them as a great danger, these officers and professional soldiers who are proficient in guerrilla tactics are still a headache to run around in the province." The Major General slightly forehead.
"How many are there?" The merchant asked.
"It's not very clear, after all, you also know the situation here now, the spread of zombies has caused the population density here to plummet, and the already huge area is now becoming more empty, and it is really difficult to know the number of people on the other side, and we are not even sure how many people we have......"
They've only been in control of the province for a few days......
"So we're now facing a bunch of enemies we don't know anything about?" The merchant asked.
"That's pretty much it, but we at least know that their leader is a captain of the field army named Mula. He had previously been on a mission to seal the border by the former mayor when he was routed by refugees and fled back with some of his soldiers. The major general explained.
The merchant did not ask him why he did not return to the army and, like most other provincial troops and police, turned into a zombie or joined the organization of the Major General and others.
Because according to the time, this captain, who doesn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky, when he returned here, the former mayor had already lost control of the place.
"But just a captain and at most a crippled company, less than a hundred soldiers shouldn't affect you too much, right?" The merchant was still puzzled.
The few people present, even Major Li, who was disabled by himself just now, any one of them could completely wipe out the troops of less than a hundred people.
"That's why I say this little mouse is annoying!" The Major General shouted a little like a child throwing a tantrum.
"They generally don't attack our main strongholds and buildings, and they don't even operate much in the city, but focus on assaulting our transport forces. In a situation where transportation is almost paralyzed, convoys of human transport are easy targets for these professional soldiers, and the latest intelligence suggests that they seem to be beginning to recruit other scattered survivors. Ida then explained.
"And you still can't catch their whereabouts, that's why you have such a headache?" The merchant said funny, a group of powerful people with extraordinary abilities were actually overwhelmed by a group of ordinary field soldiers.
Although he didn't have much ridicule in it, it didn't sound like that at all.
"Then you have a way?!" After being warned by the major general, Lieutenant Colonel Liu, who had become very quiet since just now, could no longer hold back the fire in his heart in the face of the suspicious cynicism of the merchant teacher, and immediately jumped out and asked rhetorically.
"Since you said so, there is a way to find that little mouse!" Lieutenant Colonel Jin, who had not spoken since the merchant entered the door, followed Lieutenant Colonel Liu's words at this time.
The merchant was stunned when he heard this, he was just talking casually just now, but he didn't expect these two people to react so much.
Immediately after that, his face changed, and he suddenly realized that the words of the two just now were completely aimed at her.
"Although I know that you are anxious to contribute to the organization, this matter itself is not urgent, after all, it is just a few small problems, and you will be assigned the corresponding ......tasks next," the major general said suddenly.
Although the merchant didn't mean this, he could only smile stiffly and nod as such.
Lieutenant Colonel Liu, who was the first to attack him, glared at him fiercely when he heard this, and then returned to his original position silently.
And Lieutenant Colonel Kim, who felt taciturn, fell silent again after glancing at the merchant with deep meaning.
"Let's go back to the topic just now, the reason why we can't continue to expand outward now is actually not only the reason for Captain Mu just now, but also because the situation in the Celestial Empire has become unusual now."
"Unusual?" The merchant asked suspiciously.
Although he knew that the zombie outbreak had turned the city he lived in, as well as several surrounding provinces, beyond recognition, the entire Celestial Empire was still under the leadership of the central government, at least in terms of force, there was no possibility of threatening the central government.
In this era, even if the superpower on the other side of the ocean makes a move, the Celestial Empire will still not fall into passivity.
After all, the current world is a power structure composed of the Celestial Empire, the United States of Britannia, and the European Union, and no country has the ability to break the balance, because everyone is about the same strength, and under normal circumstances, they can't help each other at all.
"Although the central government is trying to cover up what is happening here, it has done a good job among the civilian population through strong public opinion propaganda and control. Most people in other provinces and cities don't know what's going on here, and many even think that we are still living as peacefully as they are. ”
"But for the top leaders of other countries, as well as for large international organizations, what is happening here is no secret at all. Naturally, organizations that want to get something out of it, or want to take advantage of it, have begun to gather here. ”
"These large organizations are relatively restrained, probably still waiting or waiting for opportunities, and most of them have no obvious action. But this is not the case with small and medium-sized organizations that are funded by other countries and organizations, and we have heard that large-scale riots and terrorist activities have begun to take place in the west, southwest, northwest, and even in the northeast. ”
"Is that why this place hasn't been besieged yet?" The merchant instantly reacted to the information contained in this information.
Now that the border areas are in a mess, most of the combat units should have been put into the places where they are more needed.
Although what happened here is even more outrageous, it is precisely because it cannot be understood that it is subconsciously considered to be a less threatening thing.
Even many people in the central government themselves have no idea what exactly happened here during this time.
On the other hand, the various organizations that can be collectively called "anti-government-government forces" are constantly being mobilized by various people with good intentions, and the threat to the central rulers is more obvious and easier to understand.
They don't know what the spread of zombies means now, but if the chaos on the border continues, they know that the entire country's regime will completely collapse, and even the nation will face disintegration, or even destruction.
Which is more important is naturally a matter that is easy to distinguish.
Therefore, the number of troops placed here by the central government is obviously on the small side, which has also caused the current situation of major generals and others.
