Doomsday rat

The so-called grand ceremony is actually a military parade plus military exercises. 400 soldiers drove more than 30 Type 99 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, passing the runway imposingly, showing the appearance of the Revival Alliance to the distinguished guests on the tower.

Although the queue was not very neat, and two tanks suddenly turned off during the march, the flaws were not concealed. What could be more trustworthy than showing your body to outsiders.Even if these guests were allowed to walk around the city for a month, they would see nothing but fixed ditches and firepower points.

Now Hong Tao has shown all the types of weapons and the appearance of the army of the Renaissance Alliance, as if standing in front of others naked, except trust or trust, which can be seen through at a glance.

It's not completely naked, there are two camouflage-painted helicopters flying above the revival alliance's head.They hovered at a height of tens of meters, and fired four Red Arrow 2 anti-tank missiles at the malfunctioning tank parked 8 kilometers away, and hit them.Then 57mm aviation rockets were used to blow up ten empty armored vehicles into fireballs.

"Zombies probably don't know how to drive tanks, Chairman Hong is about to show off!"

The live ammunition shooting was very successful, all the targets were destroyed, and there was applause.But the applause returned to the applause. The faces of the guests were not very good-looking. The red-faced bald man was even more straightforward and pierced the window paper. A pair of tiger eyes stared at Hong Tao's face, even in someone else's base Still unabated.

"Haha...Mr. Chu misunderstood, the performance is all about the effect. To tell you the truth, in order to make the explosion effect even more shocking, I even had someone put a small amount of pricking medicine in the target vehicle, hahaha...a small trick!"

Facing the eyes of the bald man wanting to eat people, Hong Tao smiled awkwardly, and explained the reason for the live ammunition shooting as if he suddenly understood, and even confessed the tricks of cheating.

"Yes, yes, Chairman Hong has good intentions, come here, everyone, please take a seat." Seeing the scene was a bit awkward, Gao Tianyi hurriedly interjected to divert his attention.

Among these few people, only Tang Guodong and Hong Tao from the Southeast Alliance had met, and the others were only known by their names.The military parade and target shooting programs were all arranged by Hong Tao. He didn't know the details in advance, and if he knew, he would definitely object.

At present, only the Revival Alliance has air power, and the main weapons of other groups are ground forces.When you use helicopters to attack tanks and armored vehicles in front of people without an air force, aren't you warning others: My imaginary enemy is you, not zombies!

If the good situation that has been running around for several months is messed up because of this incident, it is better not to propose a joint factory, at least there will be no enmity.Sometimes Hong Tao's behavior style is really incomprehensible, almost like a cramp, hot and cold.

In fact, Hong Tao didn't go crazy, he did it on purpose.As the old saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.The reason why the negotiation location was chosen at Shahe Airport this time was that they didn't want these people to wander around the city and the base to see clearly the defense system of the Revival Alliance.

And the project showing helicopters fighting tanks is not just a lively and beautiful show.They didn't misunderstand, this is a warning or deterrence, reminding them not to think badly about the Revival Alliance, tanks and artillery may not be easy to use in real fights.

But then again, no one trusts anyone, and they insist on getting together to set up a joint factory. What is the plan?This is also a helpless move. Relying on the Renaissance Alliance alone is really incapable of restoring the basic heavy chemical industry, and can only settle for the next best thing.

As for whether these families can work together, we'll have to wait and see.At the beginning, the Rescue Team, the Pingnan Army, and the Flying Tigers were also cooperating while being wary and calculating.Not to mention that in this environment, even if there is no zombie disease, it is very difficult for two groups to trust each other.

It's not that Hong Tao is seriously suspicious, the next negotiation can explain the problem very well.Every family is unwilling to suffer a little loss, and always wants to take advantage of it. They quarrel and make up with each other on the issues of resource input, product distribution ratio and factory location. After four days of arguing, they still can't reach an agreement, and finally they broke up unhappy. scattered.

"Alas..." Looking at the three planes taxiing on the runway, Gao Tianyi sighed heavily.The joint development plan failed to go on, and he was the one who lost the most.

To put it bluntly, everyone has their own demands, and it is difficult to reach an agreement in a short time.The bad thing is that his working ability is not good, and he hastily started negotiations without knowing the cards of all parties, which caused the current situation, which is very embarrassing for the Revival Alliance and Chairman Hong.

"Don't sigh, your work achievements in the past few months are obvious to all. The failure of the negotiation is not because our work is not done well, nor is there not enough compromise and concessions. It is because we don't have the conditions for the time being." Hong Tao didn't look too sad, and turned to enlighten others.

"...The factory will not be built?" But Gao Tian is not at all relaxed. If the plan to jointly establish a factory is shelved, then his job will be gone, and he will have to go back to be a rubber stamp.

"The factory still needs to be built, but it can't be combined. Our plan has to be changed, from a joint factory to an independent factory." Hong Tao narrowed his eyes and looked at the little falcon that had already taken off, thoughtfully.

"Do we have this ability?" Gao Tianyi heard every word in this answer clearly, but he didn't figure out the meaning he wanted to express when he put it together.If you have the ability to independently build a factory, why bother others? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting!

"Not yet... But as long as you are willing to take more risks, you will soon. How about it, do you dare to contribute again for the hope of all mankind?"

The Little Falcon climbed quickly, and it looked like Zhang Ke was driving, completely inheriting the style of the master.After sending the plane to the horizon, Hong Tao turned his head and grinned.

Chapter 412 Rat bites in a hurry

"I... Consecrate... It's best to be able to make it clear!" This smile made Gao Tian's back break out in cold sweat. According to his usual style, this person must be doing crooked tricks again, but he doesn't know what he has to offer of.

"The talk still needs to continue. You continue to go around from time to time as a representative of the alliance. You must be very serious and can reveal what we are looking forward to. At the same time, continue to collect details of the opponent's base. It is best to communicate with their management Get in touch more and get the names of those technicians and workers. If they don’t want to give it, then we’ll get it ourselves!”

Through this face-to-face negotiation, Hong Tao probably found out the thoughts of the leaders of the other parties.They are similar to Gao Tianyi and Yan Qiang before, and they are optimistic about the future development.I think that there is no need to rush to resume production, and I am more willing to focus on how to expand my own strength.

That's right, everyone has the same goal in fighting zombies, but as long as it involves deep alliances, they will inevitably have their own little calculations, and they are more or less wary of the Revival Alliance, for fear that through joint production, one party will develop Too fast, thus posing a greater threat to one's own side.

They are more willing to maintain the current state, that is, no one should occupy all the resources and personnel, no one can develop rapidly, and everyone lives on one acre of land.In this state of mind, talking for another ten years will not lead to anything.

Hong Tao has never been a person who follows the rules. He is just deliberately suppressing the evil in his heart and trying to think like a normal person.But there is a bottom line, that is, no one should get in the way too much. If he is forced to fail to achieve his goal through normal channels, his nature will be revived immediately.

The Revival Alliance has power, factories and equipment, but the most lacking is related technology and production personnel.Since this problem cannot be resolved through negotiation, and the conditions cannot be negotiated for a while, then it can only be negative.

"...Doing this will cause disputes, which is not good for us!" Gao Tianyi finally understood what Hong Tao was going to do, and he was not afraid to be a spy. In fact, this job has been done for several months, and it has not attracted the attention of all parties. .

But if you want to arrest people, if you fail, you will give them a handle.At that time, Chairman Hong of the Alliance and the signboards of the Revival Alliance will stink, and it may affect the number of people who come to defect.

"I'm not a kidnapper, and twisted melons are not sweet. You just need to provide Minister Lin with the list, and she has a way to make people on the list come and defect." Hong Tao stretched out a finger to signal Gao Tianyi to think wrong Now, I am not trying to kidnap, but want to instigate rebellion.

Even if this kind of thing is leaked, it will not affect the reputation of the Revival Alliance. In principle, every survivor is a free person, not the private property of any group, and people can go wherever they like.If you have the ability, you can also send people to instigate rebellion in the revival alliance, we definitely don't mind.

"Okay, I'll pay more attention..." Gao Tianyi wanted to say that you are a rascal, you can think of any bad idea, and you will use it without hesitation.

"No, you need to do much more than that. Let me ask a question, who do you think is the most important among the three people who came today?" Hong Tao did not end this conversation, walked back to the temporary conference table, and took He threw a tea egg to Gao Tianyi, picked up another one, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth.

In order to entertain the guests from afar, Hong Tao still worked hard. Every day, vegetables, eggs, rabbit meat, pork and various snacks were provided, and there was even milk for breakfast.

These planted and farmed fresh foods are an absolute luxury at present, and he can't just eat them casually.So take the opportunity to eat more quickly, and you have to sneak some back for Chu Qiu, and the customer will be responsible for it all.

"The surname is Chu. If he hadn't been greedy, Wang Dalin and Tang Guodong might have signed the contract. I think this guy must have been a bad bird before. Look at his style, he's full of gangster air."

Gao Tianyi was full of worries just now, so he didn't have time to think about the food on the table. When he saw Hong Tao taking the lead in eating, he was naturally not vague. Just started answering questions.

"He has enough confidence. He has coal and oil depots. I guess he has also engaged in arms. If it weren't for his lack of brains, there would be no need to unite. They can develop the heavy chemical industry by themselves. But this time he will go back and probably will I have an idea, I can't keep it!"

Hong Tao agrees with Gao Tianyi's analysis. That's right, the biggest rat shit in this negotiation is the leader of the Northwest League, Chu Yong.He looks quite sturdy, not tall, with sharp muscles, and he walks a bit awkwardly, his posture is uneven, and he has learned martial arts or Sanda.

Especially the two scars on the back of the hand and the side of the head, a knowledgeable person can tell they are knife wounds at a glance.These two parts are also the most likely to be injured when fighting. Obviously, he was a ruthless character when he was young.

In comparison, Wang Dalin of the Four Provinces Alliance and Tang Guodong of the Southwest Alliance are more like public officials, who think a lot and are willing to think, and can partially understand the long-term plans they have explained.

But with Chu Yong's left and right words mixed up, the other two also felt that the joint factory involved too much energy, and the final benefits were not enough, which was a tasteless thing.

"Then why didn't you do anything just now? After killing the plane malfunction, who will do anything to us!"

As soon as he heard that Hong Tao was going to deal with Chu Yong, Gao Tianyi supported him from the bottom of his heart. He hated this kind of social people the most.I went to the Northwest League twice in total, and the reception I received was also the worst. It can't be said that I don't care about it, but it's not too bad.

"If the name is not right, the words are not right. You said that if I tricked you and Yan Qiang to die in the altar, would I be able to successfully take over the Pingnan Army and the Flying Tigers? Not only would it be useless, but it would also make them more united internally." Be more vigilant, the gain outweighs the loss."

Hong Tao shook his head resolutely. In order to let Gao Tianyi understand what he meant, he deliberately gave an example with a special image and was easy to understand. Taking advantage of the situation, he packed another soy-cooked rabbit leg into a plastic bag and stuffed it into his arms. .

"...Do you want Minister Lin's people to attack their base?" Although Gao Tianyi was not happy to hear this example, he could quickly understand the meaning.Indeed, if he had been killed by Hong Tao's despicable means, the Niu brothers would not have surrendered, but would have taken the initiative to attack the rescue team.

But if someone could be found to kill Chu Yong in the Northwest Alliance base, it would be hard to say that it was done by outsiders. Failure to do so could also trigger a power struggle within the Northwest Alliance.

"Who do you think can kill someone before running out, or commit suicide without proof?" Hong Tao began to curl his lips again, how could an adult say such insane things.How can a dead soldier be so easy to train, once the assassination fails and is captured, even sophistry is saved.

"Just tell me, as long as I can do it... The question is, will you agree if I don't?" Gao Tianyi rolled his eyes, and simply stopped guessing, and concentrated on dealing with the plate of chocolate cake.

"Don't worry, I won't let you do too risky things. If you do that, you'll turn around and go to someone else. No one is a fool. I just want you and Wu Wenbin to perform for Chu Yong again, so that he can have some fun." The courage to attack first. At that time, we will have a reason to fight back in self-defense, kill him and swallow the Northwest Alliance. With ready-made coal mines, usable mining equipment and personnel, we can do a lot of things."

While speaking, Hong Tao had already bagged a plate of small carrots and stuffed them into his pocket.In fact, he doesn't hate Chu Yong very much, and he doesn't bother people in society like Gao Tianyi.If he had to choose, he would rather associate with Chu Yong than get too close to Tang Guodong and Wang Dalin.

Those two are essentially the same kind of people as Liu Quanyou, they are too deep in the city and full of nonsense.But the natural conditions possessed by the Northwest Alliance are too good, and it happens that Chu Yong also hindered his major affairs, which is called Huaibi's crime.

"I have always had a question. You said that the three eastern provinces have a lot of resources, including coal, oil, and heavy industry. Why don't they develop their own development? Are they hiding something?"

Gao Tianyi finally understood that this cost-effective guy didn't have any clever tricks, so he wanted to repeat the old tricks.He didn't say whether he would accept the job or not, but suddenly asked about the alliance of four provinces.

"There is a Dagang Oilfield in the south of Tianjin. The machinery and equipment are placed in place. It is not that they cannot be mined. Apart from people, equipment is also very important. After more than a year of wind and rain without any maintenance, most of the equipment has been damaged. unusable."

"We are very lucky. Some of the machine tools have been preserved, and talents in mechanical processing continue to join in, so we have the initial machining capabilities. It is a pity that in the early days of the outbreak of the zombie disease, everyone only thought about how to live, and did not pay much attention to it. Equipment problem."

"When I think about it, it has turned into a pile of scrap iron, and I have lost the possibility of simple repairs. The reason why I am so anxious to set up a factory with everyone is because I am afraid that it will not be repaired in a year or two..."

Speaking of this matter, Hong Tao could only sigh sadly, unable to blame anyone.Under the circumstances at that time, there was nothing wrong with seeking survival first, and few people would think so long-term.

Even if you think about it, you may not have the conditions to implement it. For example, if there is no talent in this field in the team, it is useless to think about it.When all the people are gathered, the equipment is also broken, and it is still useless.

There are more than 20 active-duty soldiers in the Four Provinces Alliance, more than half of them are artillerymen, and they are not in the same unit. It is a coincidence that they can get together, so they are unique in using cannons.

There are coal mine managers, technicians, and miners in the Northwest Union, and they are not from the same place.Also by coincidence, they also got together and kept some mining and transportation equipment in an open-pit coal mine near Tongchuan.

There are also special talents in the Southwest Alliance, such as a few experts in hybrid rice breeding, and heavy machinery technicians. In the end, they chose rice as their development direction, and people depend on food for heaven.

"Is that so... You sent someone to investigate?" Gao Tian nodded. Some of these materials were investigated by him, but some were obviously not. When I heard it for the first time, I couldn't help thinking about it.

"My guess……"

"Well, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but there is a question I have to say hello to in advance. It's hard not to show my feet when doing this kind of thing. If I'm found out, I'm sure I won't risk my life as a dead soldier. Consider Has this ever happened?"

Hearing this answer, Gao Tianyi trembled in his heart, don't ask, Lin Na's internal affairs department must have started to place eyeliner everywhere.The current situation is very clear. If you don't do it yourself, someone else will do it.With so many former team leaders in the council, who wouldn't want to re-enter the center of power.

"You are a surrendered general of the Pingnan Army. It is reasonable and reasonable to be dissatisfied with me and collude with outsiders to subvert me. Even if you betray me, it will have no effect except to make yourself passive."

"Neither the Revival Alliance nor I are saints. Of course, a small group of bad elements with malicious intentions are allowed to appear inside. I think everyone will understand, and maybe they will be very sympathetic."

"Then I will use this matter to rectify the internal affairs, take the opportunity to abolish the council, and avoid even making up nonsense and going through the motions. Brother, if you are willing to do this, then I have to thank your eight generations of ancestors, hahahaha... "

At first glance, Gao Tianyi's worry seemed more like a kind of coercion, but to Hong Tao's ears, it was a big joke.I don't know what your identity is, how dare you negotiate terms?It seems that the words must be explained more clearly, lest some people always have unrealistic illusions.

"...Bastard!" Looking at Qu Que's back and hearing the ear-piercing laughter, Gao Tianyi's face turned purple with anger, and the corners of his mouth were crooked. If it wasn't for his young physical fitness, he might have suffered a stroke. .

The truth is correct, maybe you can't save some face for others, don't say it so blatantly, let alone laugh so unscrupulously.But he couldn't think of anything to do but curse secretly.

Hong Tao was playing Yangmou, and every move he made was for the development of the revival alliance. In a big way, it could be said that it was for the sake of all mankind, and it could be clearly announced on the table.

To be able to play conspiracies and tricks to this extent has exceeded my level of cognition.Now besides fooling Chu Yong honestly, he has to strive for success in fooling Chu Yong. There is really no other way to choose.

Chapter 413 The Pirates Are Here

At the beginning of May, the Revival Alliance dispatched more than half of its armed forces and began a thorough sweep of downtown TJ.For more than a year, the alliance has cleaned up dozens of cities and villages and towns, but it has turned a blind eye to this city that is close at hand.

At any rate, it is also a huge city with a population of more than 1000 million. If there are fewer people, it is useless, and if there are too many people, it is useless.Now that he has finally accumulated enough strength and freed up his time, he can pull out the threat of an explosion at any time by pulling out this nail.

The cleaning operation lasted until the end of June, trying to attract all the wandering zombies in the urban area and some zombies in some houses to the seaside near Chadian before the rainy season.

If nothing else happens, when the rainy season in the Beijing-Tianjin area arrives, and the upstream dams are opened to release the flood, the entire area will be flooded within a month.These dark monsters will all be washed into the Bohai Bay and sink to the bottom of the sea.

As for whether doing so will cause marine pollution, if the results of the laboratory's research are correct, the zombies will enter a deep dormancy state without seeing sunlight for a long time, and the virus will lose its activity. There is no possibility of infection and mutation, and there will be no pollution. ocean.

In fact, Hong Tao had no choice but to do this even if there was a risk. Together with the hundreds of thousands left over from the war to defend the capital, there were already 300 million zombies gathered here.In case any of them become living corpses, the second battle to defend the capital will be held immediately, and there is no time to prepare, the distance is too close!

This is also to clear obstacles for factories that may be used. More than 50 kilometers south of Tianjin Port is the Dagang Oilfield, and more than 90 kilometers east is the factory area of ​​Shougang Group. In the future, whether it is oil production, oil refining or smelting, it will be inseparable. the area.

Just after the clean-up operation declared victory, Hong Tao took the time to run out from the airport the next day. He drove two wheeled armored vehicles and took seven or eight people around the G3 highway in the south of the city to avoid the flooded area in the east. , drilled to Tianjin Port.

"It's a pity, they are all good boats..." Hong Tao sighed as he walked along the long pier.

The ships moored here, whether docked or at the berth, have been exposed to wind, rain, sun and rain for more than a year, and many of them have changed beyond recognition.Especially for the ships that have not yet unloaded, several of them have already sat crookedly on the bottom due to water ingress in the bilge.

Leaked engine oil and fuel drifted here and there, making the sea water, which was not very clear, look like alopecia areata.In this way, the shadow of the fish can still be seen, as if it is still alive and well.

"Boom, boom, boom... well, this ship is the right size, let's go down and see if the main engine can be repaired." After turning around several docks, Hong Tao finally found his goal, and jumped onto the red boat with port number Jingang 36. boat.

I beat it around with an iron rod I picked up, and checked its anti-rust paint and deck. I thought it was not too bad. I went to the cab again, finally showed a smile, and turned to follow behind. commanded.

"Hi Yi!" A black and thin middle-aged man immediately nodded his head in agreement, and led three or four people into the engine room.

His name is Takahashi Hara Michio, and he works as a first-class operative in a Japanese shipping company.Don't get me wrong, an engineer is not a person with mechanical magic, but a job in charge of engineering equipment on large ships. It is collectively called the second track in the world, second only to the chief engineer, and it seems to be called the first engineer in China.

At the beginning, he and a shipyard worker named Wada Hitoki repaired an ocean-going fishing boat and took a group of Japanese survivors across the ocean to escape nuclear pollution.Both of them are good at repairing diesel engines and transmission systems, and were assigned to the mechanical and electrical department as technicians.

Hong Tao came to Tianjin Port this time with a small goal besides inspecting the cleanup work. He wanted to find a ship that could sail safely in the coastal waters.Picking and picking, it seems that the two of them are familiar with ships.

"Mr. President, this is a rescue tugboat. The hull structure is intact. There is a small problem with the power system, but it can be repaired. If you need it, we can continue to check its transmission and electrical equipment!" In less than an hour, the thin black The man came up, his body and hands covered in oil, and he bowed first before speaking.

Takahashi Hara Michida was the same age as Hong Tao, and his long-term life at sea made his tall body look dark and thin, and his face was full of flesh, which made him not easy to touch.However, he can speak relatively fluent English and has no accent. Even if his Chinese is not good, it still does not hinder communication.

"...Can it be converted into a fishing boat?" Hong Tao didn't stay idle, and asked someone to bring two batteries from the armored vehicle, replace the scrapped ones, and was electrifying and checking some of the equipment on the bridge.After listening to the report, he finally grinned, but not quite yet.

"No problem. Throwing fishing boats, trawlers, and driftnet boats are all fine. It has a lot of horsepower, and is also very resistant to wind and waves. Clean the spare oil tank and use it as a cold store. It will be a very luxurious fishing boat... Yes. Mr. Chang, are you going fishing?"

When Takahashi Hara Michida heard the word fishing boat, a smile finally appeared on his ferocious face. While giving a very positive answer, he explained the transformation plan, and did not forget to inquire about Hong Tao's plan.

"Yes, everyone can't always eat canned food. The dozen or so pigs are not enough for the time being, and the wild boar, pheasant, and hare are not very tasty. I wondered if I could go out to sea to catch some fish, which can be regarded as seafood for a change. .By the way, you often go to sea, do you know how to fish?"

The electronic equipment in the cockpit was not in good condition, and most of them did not respond after being powered on, which made Hong Tao's smiling face gloomy again.Most of these devices are dedicated, and I don't know if they can find substitutes in the port area.If not, then I have to find a sextant and a star map.

"My father, grandfather, and elder brother are all fishermen. There are two fishing boats in my family. I have been fishing with them since I was a child... Mr. President, if you can, please give me the job of fishing, please !"

Hearing that Hong Tao was really going fishing, Takahashi immediately stood at attention, made a very serious request, then bent his waist to ninety degrees, and kept this posture, waiting for the answer.

"I'm the captain, you can only be the chief mate or the chief engineer..." Hong Tao finally smiled again, but not very kindly, like a big bad wolf biting a little white rabbit.

"Hi Yi, the captain of the president, my chief engineer!" In order to show that he is very satisfied with this position, Takahashi replied in Chinese.Compared with fluent English, this stuttering Chinese is far behind.

"...The ship repairer, the ship is repaired, and the chief engineer and mate are all yours. There is nothing on the ship!" After thinking for a few seconds, Hong Tao conditionally agreed to Takahashi's request, but actually laughed in his heart. bloomed.

It was an attempt to find a ship at the port this time, and I didn't hold out much hope.After all, these ships have not had any maintenance, and they have been placed in a very corrosive environment for more than a year and a half. It is a blessing to be able to prevent rust from turning into iron lumps.

Even if the machine can be repaired, the hull is a big problem.It doesn't work if it's too big, it doesn't work if it's too small, and it doesn't work if the ship is inappropriate.Training a qualified crew is harder than training a pilot.The main reason is that the physical requirements are too high, and ordinary people cannot adapt to the harsh sea life in a short time.

It's all right now, not only has a chief engineer, but also an old fisherman who has been fishing since childhood, better than himself, at least Takahashi is familiar with the modern methods of using various fishing nets, so he doesn't need to fumble slowly anymore.

In addition, his saying that he wanted to go fishing was actually just a grandiose excuse, and he actually meant for Pei Gong.It's not very pleasant to say his true intentions. He actually wanted to sail to the western coast of South Korea and Japan's Kyushu Island to steal ammunition from others.

Most of the survivors from South Korea and Japan have been integrated into the new environment, and a high proportion of them have served in the military, intentionally or unintentionally providing the location of many local garrisons and ammunition depots.Hong Tao planned to go and have a look. If the local survivors were not found, he would transport them back for his own use.

The limitations of the plane are too great. If there is no airport nearby, it is impossible to fight a way.Even if there is an airport, the carrying capacity is still a big problem. As we all know, Japan and South Korea use NATO standards. Their ammunition calibers cannot be used in domestic weapons, and the corresponding weapons have to be shipped back.
