Chapter 358: Strategic Points
Among these dense signs on the map, there are several red star icons that stand out, which have special strategic or tactical significance at a glance.
These striking signs are located on the major continents of the map, and they are all located in important pre-crisis cities.
For example, the former imperial capital of the largest country in eastern Asia, and the former capital of the two major countries on the North and South American continents. There are also famous locations such as Australia's former largest city, the former romantic capital of Europe, and so on.
These sites are tentatively selected by the members of the Council for the strategic development of the plane, and they are the ones that need to be occupied and effectively controlled.
By occupying these places, they will be able to establish their own military bases on every inhabited continent. And then use these bases as a fulcrum to quickly obtain various important resources and populations of these continents.
Once all the goals of this branch plan are achieved, they can quickly expand the population and resources under management, and it is expected that the population will expand to one million within six months. And after that, it has enough strength to completely annex the Russian Federation of this plane. Accomplish the great cause of global unification.
They had formulated this part of the plan very early, but the specific implementation details had not yet been finalized, so after Shen Chao opened the map, he wanted to discuss the specific arrangements with Custer for the next month.
After all, he led the team outside for a month and had a direct understanding of the situation in the outside world. With his help, Shen Chao didn't need to guess anything. But Custer didn't cooperate this time.
"No, I'm not involved in this plan, you can arrange it yourself." I need to catch up on sleep. Whatever happens, let's talk about it tomorrow......"
As soon as Custer looked at the map, he knew that Shen Chao wanted to discuss this with him, but the work of the previous days was too tiring, and now he was just holding on to come over to report the progress.
In addition, in his opinion, Shen Chao seemed to be able to handle such a "simple" plan by himself, so he did not hesitate to shirk his usual deputy duties.
"Okay then, but don't say I didn't discuss it with you......" Shen Chao saw him shirk like this, and knew that he was tired. So I didn't force it, and decided to arrange this part of the plan by myself.
However, according to his previous experience, such an important plan would not be as perfect as brainstorming if he arranged it alone.
So after sending off Custer. He immediately summoned the mercenaries he had hired through the guò command network. Let them come and meet in their own office.
It's not that he wanted to ask for the guys' opinion, but he thought that the details of the operation could be completely left to the guys themselves. He didn't need to bother at all.
After receiving his assembly order, the mercenaries put down their work one after another and handed over the command task to the adjutant. Then they rushed to Shen Chao's office in the Burj Khalifa one by one.
They arrived in batches, went through a security check of a group of soldiers on the ground floor, stored their weapons, and then took a high-speed elevator to the top floor. After the last mercenary also arrived. Shen Chao began to speak.
"Welcome, gentlemen. First of all, I want to thank you for your hard work over the past month. The recruits have proven your training abilities in recent battles, and for this, each of you has increased your commission by $1 million. ”
Shen Chao did not mention his new task, but first affirmed their training results, and then gave them real and rich rewards. Because he knows the difference between a mercenary and a professional soldier.
Although these people in front of me were all first-class professional soldiers before. The focus is on honor and one's own military rank. But now, they are all just mercenaries hired by Shen Chao, and they also know how to put themselves in the right position.
So as soon as they heard such a reward, their enthusiasm was dug out, and they all pricked up their ears one by one. Listen carefully to what Shen Chao is going to say next.
"The training of the first recruits is over, and it's time to choose. According to our previous arrangement, after the recruits have completed their training, you can choose your next stage of work. ”
"It's to stay here and train batches of recruits in a safe environment. Or take on new tasks to help me expand in this plane. The choice is yours. ”
Shen Chao easily set out his conditions, in his opinion, he had given them a month to think about it, and the mercenaries should have already made their own decisions.
But the reality was a little different from what he had imagined. After hearing Shen Chao say this, the mercenaries all looked at the people around them. Use your eyes to seek the opinions of people you are familiar with.
It is worth noting that although they have been working together for a month, these more than 100 mercenaries still gather into 3 main groups when they meet Shen Chao, and always make the final choice for the whole group.
"We'll take on new assignments. And we ......" A middle-aged military officer from the United States was the first to stand up and speak on behalf of the "American delegation" behind him.
Before he could finish speaking, the representative of the Russian officer on the other side also took a stand. The voice was louder, and it looked like it was a little angry that the American officer robbed him. The "Chinese delegation" was the latest, but the answer was yes.
After two weeks of effortless slaughter of mutants, they have all built up absolute confidence in the performance of their various high-tech equipment. Extremely confident in clearing out the mutants of this plane.
In their opinion, with the current technical support, cleaning up the mutants in this world is just a matter of time. The dangers are not entirely absent, but they are far less than their potential benefits.
Of course, this is from their point of view, based on the information available to them. From Shen Chao's point of view, things are completely different.
Through Guò Custer's mission briefing, he already knew that the situation of mutants around the world was very different. The plan to destroy the mutants may be a little more difficult than they had previously anticipated.
Although the vast majority of the mutants in the zone are just like the mutants near Dubai, weak and have no predatory intelligence. It's very easy to hunt.
However, in some areas where there is abundant "food" and "natural enemies", there has been a large-scale alienation of mutants. There are even signs of group "evolution".
There are many mutants in those places who have recovered some of their intelligence, and have formed sizable mutant settlements to fight against the sizable human settlements.
The mutant settlements in those locations are huge, and many of them use certain tools, and even a very small number of mutants will put on clothes and disguise themselves as humans to blend into small human camps and kill wreaks.
In addition to these, some mutant colonies with strong mutant leadership have expanded very large, and the number of mutants in the settlement is in the thousands.
These mutant settlements are very dangerous and capable of confronting large local human settlements. Far more dangerous than the mutants they had just wiped out in their occupation.
And Shen Chao doesn't have a large number of troops to send a large area of the city to clean up in the past, so he can only send a small number of people to establish a foothold first, and then clean up the mutants on one continent after the strength rises.
Therefore, it is naturally better to leave the hard and dangerous work such as scouting the enemy situation in the active area of mutants, organizing local survivors, and dealing with high-intelligence mutants to these experienced and highly military-literate mercenaries.
Anyway, he only needs to spend some green tickets that mean nothing to him now, and he can get these guys to take on this dangerous job with enthusiasm. There is no need to send out his newly formed army, which is still under construction, to take risks.
"Good, here's the first batch of mission plans. Before you can take on the various branch tasks freely, you must first set up 3 operation centers ......"
Shen Chao smiled slightly after seeing that they all chose to take the task, and then took out a thick stack of texts that had been prepared a long time ago and sent them to the three groups in front of him.
"You will participate in the operation as you do now, the Imperial Capital, Washington, Paris. These cities are your first targets. Your task is to occupy and establish a safe zone in its place, and then ......"
Shen Chao gave them a detailed introduction to the mission requirements, and according to his plan, the mercenaries would lead a limited number of troops to occupy the above-mentioned cities and establish a safe zone with a radius of at least 10 kilometers.
Once this is done, use the safe zone as a fulcrum to radiate outward, reach out to the locals, receive refugees into their safe zone, and then send as many people back to Dubai as possible.
Shen Chao would arrange for cargo ships and other vehicles to receive the survivors, and calculate their commission based on the number of survivors sent back by each of their teams.
"Are there any restrictions on personnel?" Someone asked, they still don't know if Shen Chao will treat adults differently from old and young. After all, in their opinion, Shen Chao seemed to be purely forming an army in this plane.
"No, as long as it's human, regardless of ethnicity or health status, but make sure that at least half of the people in each batch know basic English or Chinese......"
Shen Chao introduced the specific requirements. After all, they needed a large population to build up the army and rebuild the industry. If you can't communicate, it's useless.
After introducing these, it was time for the task to be assigned, and according to the geographical correspondence, Shen Chao assigned the three teams of people to their familiar zone in the main plane.
The Chinese mercenaries are in charge of Asia, the American mercenaries are in charge of North America, and the Russian ones are in charge of Europe, and the scope of tasks and responsibilities are very simple and rude.
No one objected to this arrangement, but when Shen Chao mentioned the distribution of their military strength, these guys couldn't sit still. Because strictly speaking, Shen Chao was not prepared to assign them any troops.
He made it clear that he could only give the mercenaries a column of 200 humanoid machines per team, plus 3 teams of drones and the ones they needed to shuttle, but there were no corresponding personnel! (To be continued.) )
