As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar up and down Longshan.

In fact, Song Ziyu has been preparing for this for nearly a year.

However, in line with the principle of giving priority to grain and grass before the soldiers and horses are moved, a series of things were done in the early stage, including but not limited to preparing grain and grass materials, equipping and training troops, building roads through dark areas and radiation zones, and establishing military stations and material support warehouses along the way.

Originally, these things were carried out in an orderly manner, but all of a sudden, the speed was accelerated, and it was without consulting anyone, so this decree caused quite a stir when it was promulgated.

In the conference room, Song Ziyu was listening to the suggestions summarized from all sides, and in terms of total amount, there was resistance, but the resistance was not as big as imagined.

After all, the city has developed to the size it is today, and expansion is inevitable, and the difference is only a question of which way to expand.

Whether it's westward or eastward, it's a ??????????????? Big strategic questions.

Contrary to Song Ziyu's idea, most of them wanted to expand to the east.

Because at present, the several major factions under Song Ziyu's command, whether it is Tang Jian, Chen Tianxing and other people who followed first, or Zuo Zhen and Yu Ke, most of them are from the east, and it must be excellent to be able to fight back to Guangzong Yaozu.

Therefore, everyone was confused by Song Ziyu's idea of pushing westward against public opinion.

In order to convince his henchmen, Song Ziyu told everyone about the situation in the west and everyone, and told everyone about the difficulties and opportunities.

"To our west is the city-state of Miro, a kingdom ruled by zombies."

Song Ziyu took the lead in his words.

"Since it's a place where zombies rule, what are we going to do?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"What to do? As a human being, of course, it's time to do what you have to do. Song Ziyu said righteously: "We have our historical mission!" We must contribute to the survival of all humankind. ”

Song Ziyu said impassionedly, but the people below were not interested.

Obviously, these topics are too high-end, and they are completely false and empty for many generals in Longshan, and they can't figure out everyone's climax point at all.

Of course, Song Ziyu couldn't see this situation, so Song Ziyu changed his words and directly asked people to hang up the hand-drawn map that was not very complete.

"This area is the only place we must pass through on our way to the city-state of Miro, where there are many vegetation and animals that are not found in the wasteland, and there are large water source wetlands, although they are plagued by radiation and occupied by wild beasts, once developed, we will have access to countless resources." Song Ziyu said.

When everyone heard this, they became a little interested.

Then Song Ziyu pointed further west and said: "Here, there are a large number of human settlements and old city ruins, here, I can find many factory sites including automobile production lines, steel smelters, chemical plants, military factories and so on!" As long as we get these factories and equipment, as well as production lines, we will quickly complete the transformation, from a city that produces only a dozen rifles a month, to an existence that is feared by the Northern Steel Alliance and even the Federation. ”

Song Ziyu's words are very demagogic and completely capture everyone's demands.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd in the venue was excited.

"So what are you waiting for? Fuck it! ”

"I didn't expect these good things."

"I firmly support all the claims of the city lord."

"Me too!"

"Expedition to the West!"

"Expedition to the West!"

Song Ziyu looked at everything in front of him and felt so unreal.

Before there is enough profit to drive, these people do not understand the westward expedition, but when it comes to ??????????????? When there is a head, these people are like sharks that smell blood, and all of them show fierce enthusiasm.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Ziyu announced the requirements for recruiting troops for the Western Expedition and issued an order for the deployment of the garrison troops.

At present, the army under the command of Song Ziyu has its own components, and Song Ziyu is well versed in the way of management and understands what kind of management should be carried out for what kind of people.

Therefore, when dealing with his henchmen and core Longshan soldiers, Song Ziyu did not adopt a tough attitude, but adopted the principle of volunteering.

The soldiers of Longshan who volunteered to participate in the Western Expedition would each enjoy an additional allowance in addition to military pay every day, and even if the soldiers died, the money would be transferred to their families on a monthly basis. In addition, Song Ziyu also emphasized that the son inherits his father's business, and if the father's soldiers die in battle, the son has the priority to enlist in the army as a substitute.

Such a generous treatment naturally made many Longshan soldiers willing to go west with the army.

This part of the army is what Song Ziyu relies on the most, and of course it is also the most assured.

In addition to the loyal Longshan soldiers, the second team was an army of 4,000 slaves brought from the city-state of Miro.

These slave armies now live near Longshan, and Song Ziyu gave them land and freedom as promised, and belonged to the freedom fighters on the outskirts of Longshan...... It is more difficult to mobilize them again, after all, these people have found their promised land.

But Song Ziyu wasn't too worried, it might be troublesome to let these slave armies do something else, but just letting them counterattack the Miluo city-state was another matter.

Because Song Ziyu has a killer feature, that is, the "Save the Home Plan"!

For those who have fled the country, the temptation to return to their homeland is enormous!

In particular, he can return to the city-state of Miro openly, meet his family, take back his homeland, and seize the land occupied by zombies...... For this reason, Song Ziyu specially stated that as long as there were people in the slave army who were willing to follow back, he would give priority to rescuing the families of the free people in the process of the western expedition.

Song Ziyu had reason to believe that the slaves (free people) would follow his westward expedition.

In fact, the situation is the same as Song Ziyu thought!

As soon as the mission to save the homeland was announced, more than 2,000 free folk soldiers said that they would follow Song Ziyu on the expedition, and these people didn't even need additional rewards, just wanted to be able to return to their hometown to take another look.

In addition to the free people and the Longshan soldiers, the third thing that needs to be vigorously mobilized by Song Ziyu is the 3rd Division, which has been arranged to open up and train the wasteland and tuntian for a year.

For these conscriptions, conscription is mandatory!

They couldn't enjoy the treatment of the first two types of soldiers, but Song Ziyu still gave them a promise that when the western expedition ended, no matter what the result was, Song ??????????????? Ziyu will give these soldiers freedom.

……

After the week-long military mobilization and mobilization ended, Song Ziyu began to personally lead the army to the west!

The 8,000 troops, fully armed with guns and long knives and equipped with a full set of battle armor, were successfully deployed, accompanied by 10,000 "servant troops" who came from the major wastelands to fight the autumn breeze, and 50,000 logistics troops responsible for ensuring the support of the army.

This time the action is no better!

It is definitely not easy to start a long-term war, especially to carry out a long-distance battle.

Starting from Suzhen's Shoujiang settlement, it is necessary to drive straight along the newly built highway, and it is necessary to travel hundreds of miles to enter the boundary of the Miluo city-state.

People who don't know how to fight a war don't understand at all how important logistics support is for an army.

A military genius like Zhuge Kongming, who came out once in a thousand years, could only fall into Wuzhang Plain because of the lack of food and grass in Qishan, and his successor Jiang Wei made eleven northern expeditions without results.

This kind of thing that cannot be done against the destiny of heaven is completely because the logistics supply cannot keep up.

No matter how strong an army is, it will completely collapse once it runs out for a few days.

Therefore!

For this westward expedition, Song Ziyu has secretly been preparing for a whole year.

The large army slowly pulled out, and the advance team led by Zhang Song was at the forefront.

The advance party was made up of carefully selected hunters and freedfolk guides who knew the path of death, as well as elite people who were skilled in mountain trekking.

The goal of the advance team was to mine the main force.

After two days of walking through the concrete pavement of the wasteland, the army marched into the mountains and disappeared into the mountains.
