Chapter 177: The princess arrives
Jinghe County is located in the central part of Lianghe Province, 1,300 kilometers away from Zhuguang City.
At present, the population of the county is close to 3 million, and it is almost back to the scale before the end of the world.
The Fifth Army of the Reich was stationed here, and the total number of troops was currently 220,000.
Of course, this was a later unit, and the number of veterans at the time was less than 50,000.
The power supply was restored a month and a half ago, but it is currently in a state of power rationing, and the power will be automatically cut off after 10 o'clock every night until the next morning.
Don't look at the power outages every day now, but in the last days, this is already a place with excellent security.
Jinghe was the first county to be recovered, and Liu Yibang was appointed as the commander of the army by the imperial princess Li Wuwu, and even crowned the imperial duke.
At present, the royal family of the empire is withering, and all of them died in the catastrophe of the last days, and only Li Wuwu is a girl who presides over the overall situation.
In this case, many people can't help but think about it.
It has become a fact that the royal bloodline has been cut off, and if Li Wuwu doesn't want to be the emperor, then he can only recruit horses and have children to inherit the imperial bloodline.
I believe that countless men in the world are happy about this matter, after all, their son is the emperor, and this kind of thing feels refreshing to think about.
It's nothing more than that the child born may have to follow his mother's surname Li, and this kind of thing is not worth mentioning at all compared to thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
Even if this kind of thing is done well, it is not impossible for the horse to preside over the affairs of the empire instead of the child before the child grows up.
Even if she can't govern the empire, at least Li Wuwu herself is a very outstanding girl, and the title of Hanyue Pearl is not for nothing.
In addition to having the bonus of being an imperial princess, she is also very good in her own right.
Therefore, a competition for Li Wuwu has quietly unfolded among the young people of the empire, and those who are qualified to be shortlisted for this kind of competition are secretly working hard.
Liu Yibang, commander of the Fifth Group Army, is a powerful candidate in this battle.
The first person to recover the county seat, this incident added a halo to him.
After occupying the Jing River, Liu Yibang also made continuous efforts to develop, taking advantage of the geographical advantage of the large water area of Lianghe Province to vigorously restore the planting industry and ensure the people's food supply.
Today's grain this season, Jinghe County has recovered a lot during the autumn harvest, at least so that the people of the whole city can survive the winter smoothly, which is also a great feat.
Liu Yibang also recruited a large number of new recruits into the army, and with the identity of the imperial royal army, the recruitment became very smooth.
His troops have now returned to 200,000 and are constantly expanding the security zone in the surrounding area.
The concept of the safe zone was proposed by Liu Yibang, which is to clean up all the zombies around the Jing River and establish a vacuum area without zombies.
Around the vacuum zone, he monitored every move in the perimeter by setting up outposts and installing monitors.
Under the continuous promotion of Liu Yibang, the security zone has been expanding, and has expanded to a diameter of 300 square kilometers.
After doing so many things, Liu Yibang has never stopped, because he knows that his competitors are also developing and improving.
For example, the Third Army in the south, the First Army in the northeast, and the Seventh Army in the southeast, which was united with the navy, and Li Wuwu's Royal Praetorian Guard, these army commanders were his strong opponents.
The Seventh Army's proposal for a policy that won Li Wuwu's favor was about dealing with the existing survival bases.
This policy proposes that the survival base should not be blindly conquered and suppressed, but should adopt the means of co-optation and assimilation.
The most direct and effective way is to give the leader of the survival base a noble status.
In general, depending on the size of the base, titles can be given to lords, barons, and even viscounts.
It is well known that the main force supporting the empire is the aristocracy, and the leaders of these survival bases have obtained the status of nobility, which is equivalent to the guarantee of life in the future.
Now that the inherent power of the empire has been reshuffled, there is not much left of the old aristocracy of the past, and some fresh blood is needed to replace it, so as to win over the hearts and minds of the people and consolidate the new ruling class.
This made Li Wuwu, who had not been in charge of the empire for a long time, feel very good, and almost immediately agreed with this method.
The commander of the Seventh Army, as a result, was appointed Duke of the Empire.
Therefore, Liu Yibang, as the first corps commander to recover the county, does not have any advantage now.
No one can be left behind in this competition, and whoever falls behind will be farther and farther away from that goal.
However, it is not easy to come up with tricks, first of all, it is very difficult to do this part of the military industry.
Liu Yibang's troops are now well equipped, with armored vehicles, light tanks, and helicopters all being equipped.
But the more advanced weapons are a little hard to get now.
Production of main battle tanks has also resumed, but at a somewhat slow pace, with the lack of skilled personnel for raw materials as the main reason.
But the main battle tank can still be produced, but the research progress of the more critical fighter is stuck.
The reason is also very simple, the acid rain and air of the last days have dealt a devastating blow to fighters.
Compared with combat vehicles, the parts of the aircraft are more elaborate and complex, and after being eroded by acid rain and air, almost all of them are scrapped, and none of them can go to the sky, even the ones parked in the hangar.
Liu Yibang once pieced together a plane, and the first test flight was successful, but when he took off for the second time, he plunged down and crashed directly.
The lack of skilled personnel is also a major problem, and the industrial system of the past has been devastated, and the progress of various research and development has been very slow.
Liu Yibang knew that not only he couldn't get fighters here, but also several other group armies, and now in the whole country of Hanyue, there would definitely not be more than ten fighters that could take off, or even less.
He can't make an airplane, he is not idle, and the laying of the power grid is progressing well.
In addition to restoring electricity, he also has two actions that are about to be implemented.
One is the resumption of television programs, and the other is the distribution of currency.
Regarding the TV show, he has been doing it for a long time, and he is ready to invite Princess Li Wuwu to come over to watch this grand event on the day of the broadcast.
Li Wuwu also agreed to her, a young girl, now to maintain the rule of the system, to a large extent depends on these regiment commanders who have mastered heavy troops, so she will not refuse general requests.
A battalion of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, protecting Li Wuwu's palace from Yuanjing, came to Jinghe County, and he had already arrived last night.
Last night, in the banquet hall of the county government in Jinghe County, Liu Yibang hosted a banquet for Her Royal Highness the princess who came from afar.
During the meal, Liu Yibang also said that he would surprise the princess when it was broadcast on TV tomorrow.
This surprise is the implementation of the currency, Liu Yibang has been preparing for a long time, and he will be able to officially debut tomorrow.
Li Wuwu was also looking forward to the surprise that Liu Yibang prepared for her, and praised Liu Yibang as a pillar of the empire during the meal.
This made Liu Yibang feel very excited, and he felt that he was one step closer to the position of his dream.
The next day.
November 1.
The hall of the Jinghe County Government is lit up with lights, and a large 125-inch TV is hung on the marble background wall.
The seats for viewing have been arranged in front, and those who are qualified to attend today's event are all celebrities and high-level officials here in Jinghe.
You can watch TV, and you can see Her Royal Highness the princess of the empire, and everyone is very excited.
Before the time was up, the participants had already arrived, and they were all sitting there.
After a while, Liu Yibang and Li Wuwu arrived.
Liu Yibang was dressed in a straight military uniform, and he also wore the medal of the Duke of the Empire on his chest.
He looks young and handsome, full of heroism.
Li Wuwu also attended in full costume for today's event.
The beautiful princess dress has a little more golden color than in the past.
In the Hanyue Empire, only royal rulers could use golden yellow dresses, and Li Wuwu was now the actual ruler, but she had not yet succeeded to the throne, so she only added golden lace.
However, this style of embellishment is more suitable for a young girl like Li Wuwu, who looks very noble and beautiful.
What's more, Li Wuwu also has a prosperous beauty, with pink skin like snow, distant mountain eyebrows, cherry mouth, a standard goose egg face, a few naughty hairs fluttering on the side of the face, with the bumpy and beautiful figure, which is pleasing to the eye.
This delicate and soft beautiful girl, before the end of the world, was the otaku god of Hanyue, and was the object of countless people's lust.
But now it's different, she's not only a princess, she's the only member of the royal family, the ruler of the empire, and no matter what others think, she has to be respectful now.
When Li Wuwu arrived, the whole audience stood up collectively, bowed their heads to the princess, and put their palms on their chests to make an audience ceremony.
Li Wuwu came to the main seat and sat down under the courtesy of the audience, and then said softly: "Everyone sit down." ”
Everyone sat down with a smile, and Liu Yibang sat down in the lower position about two meters away from Li Wuwu, and then said with a smile: "Princess, the time is coming soon, shall we start now?" ”
Li Wuwu nodded: "Okay, I haven't watched TV for a long time, and there are still a few places that are also working, but you are the fastest here, I am looking forward to it." ”
The hair shook slightly between the words, although she was in a high position, but the girl's coquettishness was still inadvertently revealed, and Liu Yibang was a little shaken when she saw it.
"Oh, okay, let's get started."
It was only a moment before Liu Yibang motioned to his subordinates to turn on the TV.
It's 9:59 a.m.
The TV will start on time at ten o'clock, which has been scheduled for a long time.
Also debugged yesterday and the signal is fine, they are the only source here.
The show has already been rehearsed, and Liu Yibang personally supervised it, so there is no problem.
Even the people from the TV station have come, and when the show is about to end, the live broadcast will be broadcast for a while, so that Jinghe and some people around can have a good look at the demeanor of Duke Liu Yibang and Princess Li Wuwu, which is specially requested by Liu Yibang.
It was ten o'clock, and the TV was on.
The source of the signal came in.
The screen flickered a few times, and the showrunner appeared on the TV.
A very beautiful young girl, wearing a red dress and light makeup, appeared on the TV screen.
