This kind of thing should be handed over to subordinates.

However, Zhang Wen is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, Yuan Zhicheng would not have used his family strength to bring back a guy who should have been convicted in a military court.

Looking at Zhang Wen who was kneeling on the ground, Yuan Zhicheng was very emotional.

Although Zhang Shengfei was blinded by interests, he was more or less a soldier. Being able to die calmly has washed away the shame on him.

Look at the chapter in turn...... Two people connected by the same bloodline, the difference is so big. If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it's really hard to believe.

If it weren't for Zhang Wen's special encounter, logical thinking produced the subconscious he needed, Yuan Zhicheng probably would never have talked to this guy, let alone have any intersection.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the military headquarters was as dull as ever.

Compared with the last meeting, the various electronic facilities in the hall have changed a lot. The most significant is the addition of several high-power radio wave scramblers. This is to prevent the "change of direction" from being the content of Su Hao's public meeting last time. At the strong request of the information department, a military satellite was even specially allocated to be responsible for the transmission of relevant telecommunications contents. As soon as a problem is detected, the radio waves are immediately cut off.

The content of the meeting was about the establishment and merger of the Southeast Theater of Operations, as well as the reconstruction and integration of the defeated units of the 184th Army.

Due to the lack of overall military strength, long before the outbreak of the virus, the military headquarters demarcated all theaters of war in the country, and divided them into two main defense lines, the northern and the eastern, according to the population distribution and the coordinates of each abandoned city. At the same time, in Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and other sparsely populated provinces, a series of huge logistics supply bases have been established ahead of schedule.

Zhao Zhikai was still sitting upright, around the central main screen, and the generals formed a circle in their own order, all of them looking at a young officer who was debriefing on the screen.

"The Joint Staff Conference has already made a decision on the outcome of the Battle of Hefei. Taking the enhancement level as the standard, and referring to the monitoring data of various battlefields, it is shown that the comprehensive ability of mutant creatures is weaker than that of our soldiers. Because of the problems of different species and innate genes, some mutant creatures have higher individual abilities than our soldiers. This is expressed in terms of speed and force. Among them, pig-like humanoids, cat-like humanoids and horse-like humans are the most significant. Compared with the samples we obtained half a year ago, these mutated organisms have all evolved to varying degrees. The average increase in category items was 15 percent, and the increase in individual optimization items was 96.2 percent. If this criterion continues, the individual abilities of mutant organisms will be significantly enhanced. It is expected that after six months, they will see a new phase change. At that time, the increase in the ability sub-item will be more obvious, completely surpassing the first-order enhanced ability possessed by our soldiers

"The performance of frogoids and geckooids in the Battle of Hefei was sampled by the research department and classified as a "special humanoid" population. The strength and speed of this type of mutant biological force are not dominant, and the average measurement is about 30 to 35 percent of that of a first-order reinforced soldier. They inherit fixed biological advantages and have a strong bouncing ability, which can produce acid with a strong corrosive effect in their bodies, which can cause damage by spitting from a distance. In view of the species' highly concealed nature and its adaptation to dark environments, the research department is currently working on a mapping that requires the collection of additional biological samples. ”

"The Battle of Hefei has provided us with a lot of combat data. Among them, the most valuable is the battle of Lieutenant General Zhang Shengfei, commander of the 184th Group Army, and members of the headquarters. This is the only time we have recorded a group battle between senior generals and colonels since the outbreak of the virus. Since the members of the counterattack group all possess a third-order or higher strengthened strength, they are able to form an overwhelming force within a given range. From the beginning to the end of the counterattack, they killed more than 18,400 mutated creatures. More than half of them were committed by Lieutenant General Zhang Shengfei. A total of 21 colonel-level officers took part in the counterattack, and they did not cooperate with each other in combat, because of the terrain and environmental restrictions, many of them did not give full play to their combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, we don't have any experience in the tactics of high-level boosters, and we're almost blank. ”

"General Zhang Shengfei's example shows that individual single combat cannot cope with large-scale mutant biological charges. At the last moment, General Zhang injected the berserk potion that was in the testing stage, and his physical fitness, strength, speed, and mental perception increased by as much as 86.19 percent. These data improvements are only temporary, lacking corresponding muscle and bone strengthening, and the skin's defenses are insufficient. The most direct manifestation is that the neural response and the brain perception are not connected. The latter is stimulated by berserk drugs to think faster, and the former is unable to adapt to too fast conscious commands, resulting in a gap between the thinking energy and the body's response, with an interval of about two microseconds each time. When the target of attack is captured by the naked eye and mental consciousness exceeds the frequency of attack, the body organs will have a lingering effect on brain commands, and the side effects of physical fatigue can easily lead to the collapse of the nerve center. ”

Zhao Zhikai looked at the screen intently, and his angular face was slightly tired. He picked up the strong tea in front of him, took a sip, and used the bitterness that had just been injected into his mouth to drive away drowsiness and force himself to become sober

"We know pretty much that. Tell us about your countermeasures, do you have any suggestions?

The young officer on the screen picked up another document and replied seriously: "Based on the current situation of insufficient production of high-level (third-order and above) medicines, the Joint Staff Council suggests: on the basis of each main division, a group of special units with third-order strengthening capabilities should be established. Personnel are limited to fifty to one hundred, and they are specifically responsible for tactical assaults. They are powerful and can play a decisive role in important locations. ”

"In addition, in terms of new types of weapons, the research department has submitted an application report for a large electromagnetic energy protection field. Thirty percent of the project had a shortage of material spare parts, but most of the components could be produced. The success rate of the protective wall experiment is 71.4%, which basically meets the audit standards. In particular, after using hedron as the main energy source two months ago instead of electricity, the probability of the occurrence of the protective wall has increased by 6.9%, and the strength has increased by 11%. ”

The generals in the conference hall were listening to the report. Many of them looked attentive, searching for information while discussing in a whisper to the young officer's words. Of course, there are also people who seem to be lazy, with a look of indifference on their faces, and even yawn rather boredly.

As in peacetime, not all those who are able to enter the military department have a strong sense of responsibility for their position. There is also waste from the corpse of the vegetarian meal. They didn't understand anything, they hadn't even touched a gun, let alone fought mutated creatures. However, this is the way it is, under the effect of nepotism and interest involvement, there will always be some inexplicable people. They only get paid and don't do anything, except for eating, shitting, and sleeping, and they won't even fart when they encounter serious things, so they are out-and-out rice buckets.

Zhao Zhikai glanced at the distance of the bar conference table. These people were arranged far away by him, and the so-called "out of sight and out of mind" is like this.

Putting away his irritable and depressed thoughts, Zhao Zhikai remained silent and returned his attention to the young officer in the center of the screen.

He was well aware that the young staff officer's words were not finished.

Since the Joint Staff Council mentioned Zhang Shengfei, it only involved the school officers with third-order strengthening abilities in terms of countermeasures...... In other words, a tactical cluster composed of a large number of high-level augmenters can indeed receive good results. The battlefield footage of the Battle of Hefei has been released, and while people are saddened by Zhang Shengfei's death, they have also discovered that the fourth-order enhancer does have an unusually powerful strength. If one or two fourth-order enhancers were added to the tactical cluster as captains, then there would undoubtedly be a multiplicity of combat power.

However, this kind of thing is just a thought in the head at best. The fourth-order agent has not been able to achieve mass production so far, and although the Academy of Sciences has repeatedly increased the cultivation of raw strains, the output can only be maintained at three to five units per month.

Ordinary soldiers are injected with first-order enhancement potions, lieutenants are injected with second-order potions, and colonels are injected with third-order ...... As for fourth-order potions, that was a special treatment that only generals could get.

Since the outbreak of the virus, people's understanding of this world has changed dramatically. The most significant example is the transformation of research concepts in biology and medicine. Survivors rummaged through abandoned bookstores and libraries for similar related books, officers and soldiers became more familiar with the anatomy of the human body, and the generals of the organs, who had nothing to do but drank tea and played mahjong, began to read monographs on cytology and genetics.

This is a chaotic era, with brave people who are not afraid of death, and there are also cowards who are more and more afraid of death.

Just last year, when the Academy of Sciences had just begun to conduct experimental demonstrations on fourth-order medicines, the military department had already issued regulations on the "Specifications for the Use of Strengthened Agents of Different Grades". The statement of the fourth-order potion dispensing general became a fait accompli at that time.

From the first order to the third order, each enhancement potion appeared, and the first beneficiaries were these generals. On the surface, there seems nothing wrong with it, but a large number of these people are not fighters at all. There are quite a few people who are in charge of the administrative side. Logistics, organ management, propaganda, copywriting, and reception are bloated and huge institutions, and more and more generals have been born. They never go to the front line to fight, and their daily work is to stay in the office and drink tea in a daze. For these people, even Zhao Zhikai has to admire———— they really play the word "power" to the limit, use some subtle tricks to mobilize personnel, and they can turn the clouds and rain quietly. Each seat between the subordinate departments is a bargaining chip for them to exchange interests with each other. Although it is now the Black Age, although there are refugees everywhere outside the base city, and although the problem of mutated creatures is getting more and more serious, these people never ask, and they have not the slightest consciousness to take up arms and go to the front line. They stayed safe and secure in the depths of the base city, with heavily guarded guards and abundant food. Every New Year's Day, the propaganda department will also arrange for a colorful New Year's Eve party, which is called "cultivating sentiment" and "must pay attention to the ideology at the spiritual level."

Of course, administrative management is indispensable, but at present, the military department has too many personnel in this area, which is more than ten times more than the demand. As a result, there are more and more generals in the various governing bodies.

According to Zhao Zhikai's private investigation a few months ago, there are currently 784 personnel at or above the brigadier general level in the entire military headquarters. Two-thirds of them are non-essential settings, and about one-half of the strong generals do not demonstrate the ability to correspond to them. To put it simply, they don't know anything but the two cards on their shoulders that represent their ranks.

And that's just the case with the military department. If you look at all the combat units in the country, this number will increase exponentially, as many as thousands.

There are many reasons for today's situation. The main reason is the large-scale expansion of the army before the outbreak of the virus, which triggered a series of personnel changes. The original intention of the military department was to promote a large number of young officers and put them to good use, but many people took the opportunity to enter the country with nepotism and interests, which eventually led to a situation in which the tail could not be lost.

It is impossible to undo it. That would amount to causing total chaos within the military. If it's fine to target just one person, mass cropping can have a range of serious consequences. These people are inextricably linked to various powerful figures. Casual transfer will damage the interests of all parties. The difficulty is so great and the entanglement is so complicated that even Zhao Zhikai feels a headache. The only way to deal with it is to wait for them to grow old and die.

With hundreds of millions of civilians in peacetime, it is certainly not a problem to feed them. Even now, with the huge material production capacity of the Beijing No. 1 base, it is not difficult to feed a group of humanoid breeding pigs until they die of old age and disease. Zhao Zhikai has always regarded these people as air, but he never expected that these people were not at ease, not to mention that they were fighting for power and profit, and they also demanded due benefits as their respective generals. The most direct, the most obvious, and the most disgusting is the scramble for potions.

The effect of strengthening agents on the human body is very obvious. In accordance with pre-outbreak regulations, the supply of medicines was only available to combatants. However, these people controlled the various departments of the military department, and unanimously demanded the corresponding ration of the general's status, that is, the highest level of reinforcement potion.

A group of wasters who don't go to the battlefield can get fourth-order potions that are scarcely produced. On the contrary, soldiers who are busy on the front line every day can only get one rank.

It's not normal, it's funny, it's infuriating.

Zhao Zhikai knew very well the thoughts of these "organ generals———— they were afraid of death and danger. Ironically, many of them are unclear about the actual effects of the potions. In their opinion, the booster should be something like gamma globulin, which can strengthen the body's immunity and make them live longer and longer.

If a general with fourth-order strength is equipped in a front-line special combat cluster, the combat advantage is self-evident. But those guys value their lives more than anything else, and they don't risk their lives at all. Although the Joint Staff Council has many powers such as formulating and revising campaign plans, it cannot order a general to go into battle and fight. That's why the young officer on the screen stopped talking.

Zhao Zhikai forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, moved his sedentary and stiff body for a while, and nodded to the officer on the screen: "Go on." ”

"In terms of research on new types of weapons, it is worth mentioning Lieutenant Colonel Night Shadow, who is currently subordinate to the chief officer of the guard unit of the Academy of Sciences."

The young officer's words drew the attention of all the attendees. Not everyone was interested in the new weapon being developed, and some were confused by Nightshade's involvement, as she was a Guard Bureau officer, not a researcher. Others are fascinated by Nightshade herself———— gossip and topics about a beautiful woman are always easy to reverie and refresh when they are feeling sluggish.

"Lieutenant Colonel Nightshadow was involved in the rescue operation of the field hospital of the 915 Infantry Division a few months ago. She herself found a shell of the opposite sex there. This shell is of great research value, especially in the ongoing project of the Academy of Sciences to commercialize the external skeleton. Dean Wang Qinian sent a detailed assessment data, specifically mentioning that Lieutenant Colonel Night Shadow was the only person who found it, and asked the military department to promote him. ”

The young officer's last remarks should have come from Wang Qinian's report. For that sloppy old fat man, many people here are familiar with his domineering and arrogant and mocking tone full of disdain at any time. Only an arrogant guy like Wang Fatzi would bluntly ask for a promotion in the report. For other people, the tone is much more tactful.

The bill passed without incident. Although there are also two people who say that the insect shell really has research value? But no one has delved into this issue. Wang Qinian's toughness is a well-known thing, and offending him for a colonel's promotion is simply asking for trouble for himself. Moreover, the Academy of Sciences has the most powerful research capabilities. If you provoke Wang Fatzi on this issue, then you don't have to think about the fifth-order potions in the future.

As the young officers on the screen finished their presentations and ended with the standard military salute, the atmosphere in the venue became lively again, and there were more head-to-head gestures.

Zhao Zhikai coughed softly and cleared his throat, and said majestically: "Next, let's start discussing the issue of the Eleventh Independent Army. ”

The Battle of Hefei has ended, and all kinds of problems must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Fang Chen and Liu Jiangyuan have returned to the Beijing No. 1 base, and just completed their review last week. At present, leading their respective officer corps back to the first theater in the southeast, there are more than 8,000 remnants of the 517th Division and Pei, who have gathered in the first and second war zones, and some are returning one after another. As for these combat divisions and regiments that originally belonged to the 184 Group Army, the military department decided to rebuild them, and as for the specific ownership and whether to transfer them, further discussions are needed.
