Beijing, outside the north gate of Jingshan Park, No. 40 Di'anmen Inner Street, the conference room of the Armed Forces Department of the East Asian Alliance. It's been almost two years, and it's all deserted, not that the Armed Forces Department has nothing to do, but that for two years there has been no major meeting that requires all the services, including the General Staff.

But today, the lights were bright all night, and dozens of active-duty soldiers of different ages wearing military uniforms of different colors and styles, some frowning and contemplative, some were stunned with their cheeks, some leaned back on their chairs and looked up at the rooftop, and some stared down at the ashtray to compete.

"Click......" With a burst of firelight, Jiao Qiao lit the first cigarette and took a deep breath, only to feel that there was no taste of tobacco in his mouth except for bitterness. But you can't help but smoke, if you passively smell these big chimneys and spit smoke, you may not wait for the meeting to disperse and you will be smoky.

"Bang Bang Bang...... A few days ago, who was talking to me about sending gunboats along the Yangtze River to Dongting Lake, cooperate with the air force to conduct an amphibious operation in water and air, and take Changsha in one fell swoop! ”

I only took two puffs, and in order not to suffer my tongue again, the freshly lit cigarette was violently extinguished. Taking a deep breath, Jiao Qiao scolded the man in the blue navy uniform on his left, and at the same time, in order to emphasize his dissatisfaction, he also tapped his fingers on the table.

In front of him, in the large crystal ashtray made in the old world, a small mountain of cigarette butts has been piled up, in addition to exuding a strong smell of tar, it also indicates the time of the meeting.

Ever since the 3rd Brigade and 8th Regiment, which entered Xinyang to carry out the clean-up operation, sent a telegram asking for help, military bigwigs have been summoned here to study countermeasures. But after a night of deliberation, it was almost dawn outside, and I still had no clue.

"Minister, I'm sorry that I broke my promise!" No, the last glimmer of hope was shattered as the man got up and bowed.

"Commander Hetian, it's useless for you to just bow to me, there are still 2,000 soldiers on the front line who are uncertain about their lives and deaths. In addition, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Ke was also besieged by at least 100,000 zombies, you think about it carefully, if the Navy does not save love when he sees death, what will be the situation if he comes back alive! ”

Jiao Qiao waved his hand vigorously, not intending to accept this apology. But now we can't force the navy to send gunboats to participate in the war, if we talk about the air force, I still know a little more, the navy's affairs are too rusty, and it is too late to sharpen guns in battle.

"Your Excellency, I have a good personal relationship with Chief of Staff Zhang, and if possible, I am willing to personally lead the Marines to relieve the siege, but feelings cannot replace reality.

At present, the upper reaches of the Huai River are flooding, and the river is not only turbulent, but also mixed with a lot of debris flowing downstream, and boats with too large displacement cannot enter, and boats with small displacement will be very dangerous.

My staff officers have just made a draft that it would take at least two days for the four gunboats to reach the north of Xinyang if they set out from the Lyg dock at once. But the place where the 8th Regiment and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang were trapped is still 9 kilometers from the river, and our 37-mm naval guns really can't work! ”

The middle-aged man known as Commander Wada, whose full name is Hitoki Wada, is 44 years old this year. That's right, he's a Japanese survivor who worked as a technician in a shipyard before the zombie disease broke out.

It was only after listening to Hong Tao's radio that he and another first-class officer of a Japanese shipping company, Takahashi Hara Michidai, drove the ship together and took the local survivors to the port of Jinmen.

The rescue team and the Renaissance Alliance did not find any talent in navigation, let alone the navy. However, Hong Tao had to make use of some ships of suitable tonnage as soon as possible, so General Takahashi Hara became the first captain, and Hitoki Wada became the first mate.

The two of them and Hong Tao drove the transport ship converted from an ocean-going barge to and from various ports on the west side of South Korea and Japan many times, from daily necessities to machinery and equipment to weapons and ammunition, and they were also the veterans and backbones of the alliance in the early days.

Five years ago, when the alliance officially established the navy, Michidai Takahashihara took the initiative to give way to Hitoki Wada due to his age and poor health. The commander of the navy, who was in the prime of his life, lived up to expectations and built a coastal navy from scratch in just four years.

Although only one old destroyer brought back from a South Korean shipyard can be called a warship, it is not easy to say that it is not easy, at least controlling most of the ports in the Bohai Bay and extending its tentacles into the Yellow Sea, and it is not too much to say that it is the founder of the East Asian alliance.

In fact, foreign survivors like him are not uncommon in the alliance army, especially in the navy and air force, where there are many officers from Japan, South Korea, and Russia. They have been exposed to this kind of work to some extent, and they must be counted as technicians.

There is not much dissent within the alliance in this regard, for the simple reason that Hong Tao has made it a basic strategy to recruit as many survivors as possible from the beginning, and he has implemented it this way. Many Japanese and Korean survivors even participated in the First Battle of the Capital and have since joined the Coalition Army.

If anyone wants to discuss this issue now, it will be too big a movement to really trigger a civil war, or simply be assassinated by the military. Officers like Hitoki Wada and Kazuo Kawahaya would certainly not allow anyone to denigrate their previous efforts and intend to ruin their lives in the future.

Let's put it mildly, this situation was completely caused by Hong Tao, from the rescue team to the revival alliance back then, although he did not create it alone, most of the rules and concepts were led by him.

It's a pity that he only completed a beginning, and many links that need to be refined and gradually improved have not had time to be done, so he has to draw a very incomplete end with a fraudulent death.

The people who left, including Jiao Qiao, Lan Di, Lin Na, Liu Quanyou, Sun Jianjian, etc., no one has ever done this work, they belong to chasing ducks to the shelves, and they don't have a set of systematic ideas at all, let alone where to go, so they can only follow the trend, carefully, and tremblingly to maintain this set of semi-finished products.

It is precisely because of this that there is a confrontation between the royalists and the reformers, and it is normal that whoever takes power will have some ideas and feel that it is right to do so. Their struggle is not only for power, but also for the future of the alliance, but from a different perspective.

Aside from the importance of the founding ruler of a dynasty or a country, the rules he sets will often shape the course of the next decades, centuries, or even centuries.

The next monarchs and leaders, because they are entangled in the forces of all sides, it is difficult to change on a large scale, and as long as they do not adopt the most extreme methods of warfare, they will basically not succeed.

"Minister Jiao, the General Staff believes that it is most appropriate to use the Air Force as the main strike and rescue force first. As long as the weather permits, you can search for traces of living corpses and remove them at designated points, and at the same time give an effective airdrop. At the same time, the nearest army will be dispatched to the local area to assemble, and at the right time cross the river and break through with heavy firepower! ”

Hearing the final speech of the navy, Jiao Qiao stood up on his right. If he and Zhang Ke are side by side, they are two fat men with glasses, but the numbers are different. He is one size bigger than Zhang Ke in general, and even his glasses are bigger!

"Chief of Staff Pan, what you say is nonsense, if it's so simple, do you still need to stay up late! I don't understand how you did your investigation work in the early stage, so many living corpses and zombies are nested in a small city, didn't the staff find out at all! ”

If Jiao Qiao is a little dissatisfied with the navy, then he is about to turn into hatred for this fat man. If it weren't for the fact that he led a group of young officers to ponder all day long about expanding the territory, competing with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and Nima to dominate the world, the alliance army would not have to go south in such a hurry, and even the reserve mobilization would not have been completely done.

I couldn't express my position before, because this fat man's ideas happened to cater to the views of the reformers, and if he was involved, he would move his whole body. Now it's okay, you can open up and scold, and let out all the stuffiness that has been nested in your heart all these years, and others can't say anything.

After all, the General Staff is the protagonist in military investigations, and you can't even fucking figure out the living corpses, and you still have the face to mention the large-scale gap Southeast Alliance base. Don't come out of obscurity, wash and sleep!
