Chapter 464: Decide on a showdown
The meeting was chaired by the old man himself.
In addition to the 12 battalion commanders of the reinforcement troops, such as Xu Luo and Ming Chaocheng, the meeting was attended by not the commanders of the major group armies, but Sun Jianping and Zhang Shaowu, the head of the Propaganda Department, who did not seem to have a direct relationship with the combat troops.
A military map appears on the curtain wall behind Natsuhiro.
The twelve areas marked with red dots are unusually striking.
"There are still nineteen days to end the month-long training, and we have decided to conduct a competition with your twelve troops at that time, and the test is to see who can win these twelve goals at the lowest cost and in the fastest time."
Sun Jianping's voice echoed powerfully in the room.
Looking at Xia Hong's smiling appearance, Xu Luo's expression was extremely solemn.
Twelve targets, five of which are fourth-level cities the size of the Ninghua District of Haicheng City, there will inevitably be those zombies without crystal nuclei.
This contest is not suitable!
There's a good chance you'll wipe out five of these reinforcement troops!
But for what reason?
Until now, the army of Xinghai Base City has always been on the defensive, and has never carried out a real recovery operation, and has no idea about that kind of zombie.
Who will believe it when it is said now?
Even if Xia Hong believes it, how many zombies are there? How much damage it will cause to the troops, even Xu Luo can't tell the details, what will Xia Hong think about such an answer?
And looking at the plan of the military department this time, it is completely to carry out a survey to recover the city.
I am afraid that what will be followed is a full-scale offensive plan.
However, this must be a failed plan that will suffer a serious blow, and the strength of humanity is not at all the point of a full-scale attack now.
It's just that. What should I say?
Just as Xu Luo was groaning, Sun Jianping's voice sounded again.
"How. Do you have faith? ”
The words just now had already made the officers of the other ability enhancers scramble, and they already knew that their personal strength could not be compared with Xu Luo at this stage.
But after all, they also have a strong heart.
I really want to use this opportunity to compete with Xu Luo in the command of the troops. Although they had heard of Xu Luo's unexpected training methods, they believed that their training methods were not bad either.
"Confidence, chief, it's up to us when the time comes."
Almost unanimously replied.
Xu Luo, who was silent, attracted the attention of Xia Hong and the others, and Xia Hong, who had not spoken, said softly: "Does Lieutenant Colonel Xu have other opinions?" ”
Feeling Ming Chaocheng's gaze with strange eyes, Xu Luo sighed in his heart.
He slowly stood up and whispered, "Yes, chief." ”
"Tell me about it." Xia Hong felt Xu Luo's solemnity and restrained his smile. Shen Sheng asked.
"I don't agree with the plan for this competition." Xu Luo could only stubbornly say, "Or I don't support the goal of choosing the competition this time." ”
His affirmative words made everyone stunned.
Almost everyone couldn't think of a reason for Xu Luo's objection, only Ming Chaocheng, who already knew Xu Luo quite well, frowned and pondered, he knew that Xu Luo was not a person who spoke his mouth.
And he believed that no one here knew more about zombies than Xu Luo.
"Why?" Zhang Shaowu asked strangely.
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the military department's plan this time, and the target he chose for the competition was carefully considered. Using these twelve target locations as a survey, while achieving the purpose of the competition, it is also the next step to attack the city. A drill to reclaim the city.
It's been a year since the zombie outbreak, and humanity needs an exciting victory.
Xu Luo's expression was even more solemn.
The most feared thing still happened, there is no convincing answer to Zhang Shaowu's question that can be answered, how to answer it?
Feeling Xu Luo's hesitation. Xia Hong said in a deep voice: "Just say whatever you have." ”
"Not strong enough!" Xu Luo looked directly at Xia Hong's deep eyes, "I don't want to cause the loss of the reinforcement troops because of a rash competition......"
"I don't want to cause a loss of confidence in the people."
"I don't think the time has come!"
His extraordinarily solemn words did not make these people pay enough attention, and he was just wondering in his heart that such words should not come out of Xu Luo's mouth.
Maybe it's because the past results are too amazing. Some people even think that Xu Luo is afraid.
Fear of failure! Fear that the title of hero will be lost forever!
"Are all the slogans shouted by Lieutenant Colonel Xu and his troops deceitful? I see you're willing to be this shrunken turtle! And to save humanity, I don't think you should be the commander of the army of people at all. Let's stay in Base City and make a decoration! ”
It was a muscular officer.
Looking at his contemptuous eyes, he should have long been dissatisfied with all the glory Xu Luo had gotten, and finally found an opportunity to sneer at Xu Luo at this time.
"You can't say that. Maybe it's just that Lieutenant Colonel Xu is more cautious and wants to get more and more accurate details, but it seems that except for zombies and mutant beasts, there should be no devils in these places! ”
This is another officer with a lanky build.
His words sounded like he was speaking for Xu Luo, but they were actually a mockery of Xu Luo.
Although the other people didn't speak, the look in their eyes was completely a sign of a joke, and a few people watched Xia Hong's expression change.
They wanted to see what his attitude would be towards this prospective son-in-law.
Because after all, this plan must be approved by Xia Hong.
This is evident from the fact that he personally presided over the meeting.
Xia Hong's face did not reveal any thoughts in his heart, but Sun Jianping was very dissatisfied, in his heart, Xu Luo should be on their side, whether it was right or wrong.
"Lieutenant Colonel Xu, are these just your guesses?"
Human technology has come by leaps and bounds throughout the year, and many have come to believe that although zombies have brought indisputable trauma to the world, humanity is also progressing.
Strengthening people is the most direct embodiment.
The rulers of this planet must still be human, but not the humans of the past, but beyond the past, and at such times a decisive battle is needed to inspire people.
This battle doesn't have to be about destroying all the zombies.
But it must be to make the people feel that the city is reclaimed, and the extermination of zombies is just around the corner.
And these twelve target locations were carefully selected by these people, and they deliberately left a relatively difficult place for Xu Luo, but if they won, anyone can only admit that Xu Luo is the strongest fourth-level city.
But now, Xu Luo's opposition made Sun Jianping feel particularly aggrieved.
There was even some anger in his heart.
Xu Luo completely heard the aggressiveness hidden behind Sun Jianping's words, and finally made up his mind, and the divine light revealed in his eyes became sharp.
He glanced at the two officers who had just mocked him.
He said lightly: "Because the Xu family's scientific research room gave me a piece of information, there is a zombie existence in the center of the city that we can't understand at present......
"This kind of zombie can actually absorb crystal nuclei just like us humans!"
The shocking message made everyone stunned.
These people have no doubts about the scientific research of the Xu family, and the results of countless scientific research have convinced them completely, but they still feel ambiguous about what Xu Luo said.
Just as he was about to ask, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room. (To be continued.) )
