Volume 1 Section 241 Funeral

"A clever and cunning fellow......"

Yuan Zhicheng put away the smile on his face, and his expression became cold and serious. He kept looking at the fluorescent flickering stereoscopic image and asked, "How much do you think Su Hao has benefited from it?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Sibo quickly glanced at the crowded highway on the screen and frowned: "There are several key factors in this, which are really difficult to judge. ”

Yuan Zhicheng's demeanor was calm: "Let's be specific." ”

"First of all, time."

Sibo replied slowly while thinking: "If Su Hao had been brewing a series of actions since Zhang Shengfei formulated the Battle of Hefei, then he would undoubtedly have enough time. However, Zhang Shengfei only handed over the control code of the new Nanyang base to Su Hao before he was sure that the battle was defeated and decided to die in battle. Calculated at this node, although Su Hao has mastered the central computer and all the base information, he has no time advantage. Ad-hoc changes to the plan will only create confusion, and the planned response will simply not close the loopholes. From that point of view alone, he should not get much out of it. ”

"Secondly, there is the environment. The new Nanyang base belongs to the scope of the 184th Group Army's strength. Even if Su Hao made a response plan in advance, Zhang Shengfei would not be able to let him do whatever he wanted under his nose. According to the information we have, the 11th Independent Army was forcibly withdrawn from the Hefei front. In order to control the situation, Zhang Shengfei even sent troops along the way. After entering the new Nanyang base, the daily supply was also controlled by the 184th Group Army. In this case, any movement of Su Hao will be discovered. He couldn't do anything but stay honest

"The last and most critical point is that Su Hao doesn't have enough transport vehicles β€”β€”β€”β€” have them. The aerial reconnaissance efforts of the Xincheng side are insufficient, and the military headquarters has urgently dispatched two early warning planes to conduct comprehensive monitoring of the southwest direction. According to the aerial photographs of the location of the vehicles and the supply stations set up along the way, compared with the relevant figures reported by the 11th Independent Force before it was deployed from New Chengdu, nearly 3,000 trucks were added before and after. I have checked the relevant transportation capacity of the 184th Group Army before and after the Battle of Hefei, which is almost the total number of vehicles that Su Hao was able to collect in Xinnanyang. He took with him hundreds of thousands of civilians, plus the remaining soldiers of the 11th Independent Army, as well as the retreating troops from the Hefei front...... These people need to consume a lot of food and water every day, and there has been no response force in the direction of Xincheng, and there is no place to replenish them along the way. All things considered, most of Su Hao's capacity should be used to load food and medicine, and there are not many additional vehicles available. In other words, he didn't take much of practical significance with him from New Nanyang. And what he really wants seems to be just those refugees. ”

Speaking of which, even Sibo himself was confused.

This is a great opportunity. But Su Hao clearly didn't take away the most valuable heavy equipment. How many people are in the 11th Separate Army? The number of vehicles is almost transparent, and there are no primitive carrying ...... such as people carrying them on their shoulders Could it be that he is really so selfless that he would rather give up his interests and ensure the lives of more people?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sibo retracted his thoughts and added: "There is another thingβ€”β€”β€”β€” I just received the news, the "Red Smoke" group has protested to the military headquarters. According to them, Su Hao forcibly seized all their heavy vehicles and goods in the new Nanyang base city. In addition to the "Red Smoke" group, there are several other wealthy consortia as well. There were about a thousand vehicles that were forcibly requisitioned. In this way, the capacity of the 11th Independent Army could be increased a little more. ”

Mr. Yuan did not respond to Mr. Wise's words.

He stared silently at the stereoscopic screen, his brain thinking about what he had just heard.

Yes, the lack of capacity is the biggest problem that Su Hao faces in Xinnanyang. Even the most greedy people don't have enough capacity, they won't get anything.

As the supreme military leader of the Northern Front, Yuan Zhicheng knew better than anyone the value of Base City.

It is the strongest bulwark that humanity has to fight against the virus. In addition to the closed large-scale production workshop, it is also equipped with a precision laboratory and the best strain culture cabin in the world. These techniques are the result of exchanges between countries as early as peacetime. Of course, it also includes a series of high-tech technologies such as underground space application, reinforced alloys, and high-power nuclear energy generators. At that time, the large TBM alone covered the efforts of hundreds of researchers in Germany, Sweden, the United States, and China.

Once the closed science and technology of various countries is made public, the qualitative effect of scientific and technological change is very amazing. The base formation technique is the most significant representative of this. Although Xinnanyang is only a medium-sized base, it will need at least hundreds of thousands of heavy-duty trucks if it wants to dismantle and transport it all. Even the most valuable parts of it can cost tens of thousands of vehicles. With the personnel, equipment, and other conditions that the Eleventh Independent Force had at that time, Su Hao was actually not much of the force he could use. After all, Xu Renjie did not send troops and transportation capacity from beginning to end. Although the effect of aerial surveillance in the southwest direction is almost zero, intelligence officers planted by the Yuan family in Xincheng reported that there were no signs of large-scale vehicle movement.

Whether it is Sibo's explanation or Yuan Zhicheng's own judgment, there is an invariable overlapβ€”β€”β€”β€” during the time in Xinnanyang, Su Hao was indeed unable to make any unconventional actions because of Zhang Shengfei's control and the constraints of the real environment. With the control code of the central computer, he also did not have enough time to carry out large-scale transportation of vehicles. All the evidence shows that Su Hao's purpose is only those civilians. As a result, the number of refugees who withdrew to the southwest with the 11th Independent Army was as large as 300,000.

It would be nice if the Air Force had sent more AWACS aircraft from the beginning to carry out comprehensive monitoring of the perimeter of Xinnanyang. In that way, all of Su Hao's movements were under surveillance. Although according to the analysis of various data currently available, the actual situation should not be much different from the inference, Yuan Zhicheng still felt very uncomfortable, and he felt angry and wanted to get angry.

Sibo's voice rang out again: "He should just take a small amount of the most valuable things." Unfortunately, our penetration of Xinnanyang is insufficient, and there is chaos there right now, and we have no way of knowing the exact situation.

Yuan Zhicheng's face became solemn.

There are some things that Sibo can't know. Although he trusted this young man very much, he had not yet reached the level of absolute confidant.

For example, the military department sent two sets of core components to New Nanyang last month for the construction of the new base. One set of large and one set of medium size, both of which should be displayed in the central computer archive. Su Hao had no reason to let them go. There aren't a lot of vehicles needed to transport these things. If he didn't guess wrong, it was precisely because he got these things that Su Hao had the confidence to become arrogant at the military department meeting.

After all, he was still a young man. I don't know how to forbear, although I have unique insight and deep research on mutant organisms, but I don't have a strategic vision. A little bit of petty profit can make him lose his way and do crazy and irrational things.

With the premise of the core components of the base, there is a reasonable explanation for the move of the 11th Independent Force to take away a large number of refugeesβ€”β€”β€”β€” they need these people and civilians as a supplement to their comprehensive strength.

On the stereoscopic screen, refugees and convoys winding along the highway all point to one placeβ€”β€”β€”β€” Guiyang.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhicheng's evaluation of Su Hao lowered again, full of disdainful disdain.

Yes, he chose a place that seemed good. Due to the remoteness of the location, coupled with the terrain and road conditions, only one large base in the entire three southwestern provinces has been set up in Xinchengdu. Su Hao should have taken a fancy to this and felt that the southwest direction could be separated from the control of the military department, and he could also rely on Xincheng to get Xu Renjie's support, so he chose the vicinity of Guiyang as the construction site of the new base.

Owning a base means having an independent military authority. Power and wealth will always be the irresistible foundation of human beings. With the capital of the commanding party, we can continue to strive for more. Perhaps, in the future, he will also have a fixed right to speak in the military department.

"Young man, this is roasting yourself on the fire......"

Yuan Zhicheng couldn't stop shaking his head.

He instinctively felt that this should be Xu Renjie's idea.

The establishment of every new base must be decided by the military department. The two sets of core components sent to Xinnanyang are actually not Zhang Shengfei's private property, nor do they belong to the 184 Group Army. According to the plan, they should be set up at the front of the southeast theater as the battle line advances, and become a solid stronghold for counterattacking mutant creatures. There is another team for the operation and management of the new base, and the head of the group may be a close associate of a senior official, or a relative of whom they have an interest. These positions are all fixed, and Su Hao took things away without saying hello, and then chose another location to start construction, which in itself was a stupid move to break the rules.

Those people won't let him go. This is even more hateful than taking his wife and killing his father and then selling all his mother's children. It is important to know that the bureaucracy can be said to be a whole of interests. Anyone who wants to climb up must pay enough gains. As far as Yuan Zhicheng knows, the commanders of the two new bases have already been selected. In order to get this position, they paid an unimaginable price for ordinary people. They wouldn't sit back and watch the cooked duck fly away, and Su Hao would soon run into even bigger trouble.

So, in this upcoming battle, what position should the Yuan family come from?

Pull the bias frame?

Or remain neutral?

Yuan Zhicheng doesn't look at the core components of the base at all. He can produce that kind of thing himself. If it weren't for the lack of raw materials and supplies, the entire northern front would have been all over the bases, full of tall walls and dense minefields.

Without enough troops, forcibly capturing too many areas will only lead to a decrease in control. Mutated creatures are not humans, and they never care about profit or loss. If you build too much, you can only get empty cities. In the end, it can only be cheapened for those monsters.

Whether it is the military department or Su Hao, Yuan Zhicheng is very interested.

Helping the former means being able to get sufficient raw material support, higher inclination of materials and personnel, and possibly even the position of the commander of several field divisions.

Helping the latter is equivalent to forming a party with Xu Renjie and Wang Qinian. Xu Renjie's attitude was a little vague, but Wang Fatzi's position was very resolute. He had always looked down on the military headquarters, believing that it was a herd of humanoid wild boars and quails. For the sake of the strong research and development capabilities of the Academy of Sciences and various mysterious medicines, the military department has always turned a blind eye to Wang Qinian's ridicule, and has also continuously supplied experimental materials and funds...... At such a time, although there is no actual benefit, the gold value of the words "technical and magical power" is sometimes greater than the weight on the table.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhicheng felt that it was a bit of a flukeβ€”β€”β€”β€” if Yuan Hao killed Su Hao directly in New Chengdu, then the relationship with the Academy of Sciences and Xu Renjie would be stiff, and there would be no cooperation at all

Yuan Zhicheng also felt annoyed at the same timeβ€”β€”β€”β€” if Su Hao was killed at that time, then the question would be much simpler now, there was only one answer left, and he didn't have to sway on both sides.

The situation is clearly judged, and Su Hao's benefits have not exceeded expectations. However, how to deal with it next is the real headache.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhicheng raised his head, shifted his gaze to Sibo, and his expression became thoughtful

Beijing No. 1 base, H22nd floor with room 09.

This is a special dimension of a vast area. In the Beijing No. 1 underground base, the rooms with the word "attached" were all planned as special purpose spaces at the beginning of construction.

Since the emergence of mankind, mankind has had a brilliant civilization, and too many beliefs and religions have been born. There are a large number of religious believers, both military and civilian. Even among the high-ranking officers of the military department, there are many who believe in the gods. In order to take care of these people, the base has set up confessional rooms, churches, mosques, Buddhist halls and Taoist temples...... These buildings with special purposes are arranged at the level with the word "attached". For example, today's Room No. 9 is a Buddhist hall that was temporarily used as a condolence service.

Thousands of lilies, quietly emitting a rich fragrance. Outside these white bouquets are strings of red arranged in the shape of steps. The neat potted flowers are raised for the first time, forming an orderly layer. Right in the middle, tightly surrounded by bouquets, is a crystal coffin of high value. Inside lay the deputy chairman of the military department, who had undergone makeup and put on a brand new general's uniform. Despite his closed eyes, he still appears unangry and arrogant, with an inviolable special temperament. However, it may be a mistake by the funeral staff, the deceased's makeup is a little thicker than usual, and the blush color is a little heavy, which looks like a harlequin in a shoddy ghost movie, which is quite funny.

The surrounding walls are full of painting circles, and on both sides of countless words "Dian", there are condolences from different people. Most of them were words of praise, but there were also many words of comfort. The name of the check-off office is striking, because in peacetime it can only be seen on television and in important newspapers.

Heavy and solemn mourning music came from the loudspeaker, and the slow music that continued to circulate made the overall atmosphere in the Buddhist hall more and more dull. Because it was temporarily renovated with a Buddhist hall, a huge white curtain blocked the Buddha statue in the center. Only a part of the benevolent golden body peeked out of the cracks. In place of the face of the Buddha is a large black and white portrait of the vice chairman of the military department.

Many people stood next to the coffin and wept bitterly, they were all relatives of the deceased.

Many people walked around the coffin, shaking hands one by one and saying words of comfort and encouragement as they passed through the bereaved family positions.

In this solemn environment, there are also some people who stand in the corner, covering their mouths and snickering at angles that others can't see. It's not that they deliberately want to disrupt the atmosphere, but today's farewell party is really specialβ€”β€”β€”β€” the deceased did not die normally, but were angry with others.

Although the Beijing No. 1 base has the best medical facilities, and the vice chairman of the military department is also a powerful figure, he can't resist the call of death, nor can he withstand Su Hao's cynicism.

Kong Xiao stood in the group of bereaved families, looking eye-catching.

He was tall and slender, and although he had the coldness characteristic of middle-aged people, his face was gloomy. Of course, this may also be due to the on-site environment. After all, no matter whose dad died, he couldn't laugh out loud as he normally would.

In peacetime, many people of the same age as Kong Xiao, all thirty-six-year-olds, most of them still seem ignorant, have not yet started a family, and have no sense of responsibility for the family.

Kong Xiao is luckier than most. He had a father who became a general, so Kong Xiao himself became a major general. This is what others take for granted, and it can also be regarded as the "welfare" he should enjoy.

He stood there like a log, his hand outstretched, held by a myriad of hands, and then released. Some of the hands were cold, some were warm, some were stiff or soft. Others wanted to show more affection, they hugged Kong Xiao's shoulder, or put their arms around his head and gently patted his back in their arms to show comfort...... These movements did not make any sense, Kong Xiao did not smile or cry, his eyes only saw a blurry and clear picture.

It was a place where it was impossible to tell whether it was dark or light, and there stood a strangely shaped person. The background of the other party's hands and feet cannot be seen clearly, and the only thing that can be distinguished is the hateful face.

Kong Xiao has seen the video of the meeting of the military department. He firmly remembered Su Hao's appearance, and he would rather die than forget.

Someone was crying all the time. Maybe it's your own aunt? Or an aunt? There were other crying men, all relatives of the family.

They did have reason to cryβ€”β€”β€”β€” as the greatest support of the whole family, the death of the deputy chairman of the military department, meant that a large amount of the benefits that had already been possessed must be handed over.

Among the people who came to mourn today were my father's opponents. They have been sneering, hatching all kinds of conspiracies to deal with themselves. I don't say it explicitly, but if you think about it with a little brain, you can understand it.

The one who caused all this was the man named Su Hao.

I'm going to kill him, and I'm going to break his body into pieces.
