Doomsday rat

Speaking of which industry should be restored first, Hong Tao did not figure it out by himself, but consulted many professionals, and finally came to the conclusion.

Not to mention agriculture and animal husbandry, which are the easiest to recover.Then there is the energy industry, such as coal mining, oil drilling, wind power, hydropower and solar energy.Without energy, talking about industrialization is meaningless.

However, there is neither coal nor oil near the capital, only hydroelectric power generation is acceptable, and some generators of the two reservoirs have been restored, and the operation is still normal.

Next is the metallurgical industry, the basic chemical industry and the mechanical processing industry.Metallurgy requires smelters and ores.There is also no ore near the capital city, but the smelter and related supporting equipment are located in Tangshan Caofeidian Industrial Zone.Shougang moved there, and the distance is not too far, just over 200 kilometers away.

A smelter cannot be separated from a chemical plant. Since the Shougang plant is located in Caofeidian, a supporting chemical plant is also indispensable.Tianjin also has an oil refinery and is close to the Dagang Oilfield.However, oil extraction and refining are very professional jobs. As far as the current situation is concerned, few people in the Revival Alliance seem to understand it.

Machining, this is the industry that the Renaissance Alliance is best at and also the earliest to develop.Both Taiping Lake in the past and the current Huairou base have certain machining capabilities. Using existing materials, the gun barrel is not to say, and the barrel is still fine.

If you want to restore any industry, you cannot do without these basic industries.At present, the Renaissance Alliance has small-scale mechanical processing capabilities and relatively sufficient power supply, but it does not have coal mining, oil extraction, smelting and oil refining capabilities.Some are understaffed, others are simply not there.

Therefore, if you want to restore the basic industry, even if you only engage in small-scale ignition, you can only and must carry out in-depth cooperation with more teams. Some people produce people, equipment produces equipment, and raw materials produce raw materials.

This is also a summary of the experience of living for several lifetimes. It seems to have traveled to a strange dynasty again. Now it has just started successfully. If it wants to make a big development, manpower, material resources, and power all have to find a ladder.

As soon as Gao Tian heard this analysis, he had to admire this person's long-term vision.While others were still worrying about how to find a stable base to survive, he had already started to establish rules, establish research institutions, and accumulate weapons to fight against the siege of zombies.

But after the victory, faced with the great situation of raising one's arms and shouting for many parties to respond, he was not dazzled at all, and looked further afield, and he was not wronged for losing.

"You mean the zombies will come again!" But he felt that he was over-concerned about the coming of the zombie army again.The zombies that can move freely in the entire North China region, including some East China regions, have already gone to seven or eight times during the journey of the zombie army to the north, and the living corpses are exhausted.

Without those who take the lead in manipulating it, how can they gather again on a large scale.This has been confirmed by Schultz. They have frequently set up planes to scout around for more than half a month after the war. They have flown over Mount Tai and have not seen any signs of large-scale zombie activities. The road is as quiet as death.

As for whether zombies in other areas will gather on a large scale, they definitely will, but they are too far away from the Revival Alliance. On the contrary, several other large groups of survivors should pay more attention.Even if something like this happens, they are the first to bear it.

"If they don't come, we have to go. We will make full use of our capabilities on September 9 to sweep up cities one by one, trying to reduce the number of living corpses to a certain level and not leave conditions for them to gather on a large scale."

"Not only do we need to do this, I also need to call on other groups to act together to clear out the safe zone and buffer zone little by little, connect the inland areas, and squeeze all the zombies to the coastal areas."

"Then use rivers, ditches and minefields to limit their range of activities, and then set up surveillance posts around them to keep an eye on their movements. If this can be done, humans can basically take a breather."

Hong Tao repeated the old tune again. From the very beginning, he was a staunch main fighter, and he did not advocate hiding in XZ. Whether he was in Houhai base or moved to Ditan base, he was willing to take his fate into his own hands and was determined to take the initiative to eliminate Zombies, even if there is no threat for the time being.

It's just that as his strength grows stronger, his appetite also grows.From a few streets to a city and then to a city, it is now simply spread across the country.

"...I would like to believe that your reasoning is reasonable, but will others believe it?" Gao Tianyi finally knew how much pressure he had on the shoulders of a diplomat who had not officially taken office. Hong Tao wanted to let himself unite all group, at least most groups, and then do as he envisions.

"I definitely didn't believe it at first, just like when I talked with you and Yan Qiang, you nodded on the surface and didn't care at all. But the reality will force them to believe step by step. We don't mind helping them if their vision is too short-sighted. Make up your mind!"

Convincing others by reasoning, Hong Tao has long since given up, the reason has to be said, but the more important thing is the pressure, the pressure of reality, the combination of the two can force people to change their perceptions.Of course, sometimes the external pressure is not enough, so I have to find a way to create some pressure to make up for it.

"This matter should be the work of Minister Lin. I'm in charge of diplomacy. Even if I want to do other things, I don't have that much power!"

Looking at Hong Tao's half-smile face, Gao Tianyi understood what it means to help others make up their minds.It was with the help of this man that the Pingnan Army and the Flying Tigers had no choice but to make up their minds. It's so fucking shameless.

"Hey, don't think so. None of the diplomats in history just went to chat with each other. This is the second thing I want to tell you. In addition to the pilot and Wu Wenbin, I will also provide you with A dispatcher from the Ministry of Communications and two investigators from the Ministry of the Interior."

"Don't think too much, they are not staring at you. Instead, you have to create as many opportunities for them as possible to get in touch with more local information, such as weapons, ammunition, defense, terrain, number of people, factions, all of which must be carefully collected and recorded. of."

"In addition to the mission of visiting abroad, you have to submit a secret investigation report to Minister Lin every time you come back, and make a detailed assessment of everyone in the local management. This is top secret. Except for me and Minister Lin, there cannot be a second Three people know, including Wu Wenbin!"

Since Gao Tian took the initiative to mention this issue, then Hong Tao didn't have to be tactful, and he just smiled.He didn't ask Gao Tianyi to be a diplomat at all. Didn't the ancients say that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.

If he had known the Zhao family in Jinan back then, he and Jiao Si would not have been sniped.Lesson of blood, you can no longer fall into the same pit twice.

"...I knew you were not so kind. It's a pity, Yan Qiang. If he is still there, I can find someone to drink and relieve my worries!"

Gao Tianyi's face became paler the more he listened, and he finally knew what role he was.Compared with the dangers to be faced in the future, the plane crash is already negligible.What the hell is this diplomat, he is simply a door god, once he is noticed and shot to death, he may be happy.

Chapter 409 Crazy Expansion

No matter how Gao Tianyi lamented the injustice of fate, he boarded the Little Falcon a week later, piloted by Dutch pilots Seebeck and Gou Chenzhi, and took four entourages with two baskets of freshly picked Chinese cabbage, from Xishan Take off from the airport and head to Changchun.

This is his first visit abroad after taking office. The two sides have confirmed the specific itinerary on the radio, and the airport runway has been cleared out. They are waiting for the couch to arrive, and they are waiting for him, the representative of the chairman of the alliance, to teach him about confrontation. What about the zombie experience?

Of course, he also carried with him a draft of the establishment of a joint chemical plant.There are many chemical companies in Northeast China, especially in Shenyang and Dalian, and there should be more relevant technical personnel and skilled workers.

Hong Tao intends to ask them if they would like to send someone to resume crude oil production in the Dagang Oilfield on a small scale, and then use chemical plants in Tianjin or Tangshan as bases for crude oil refining.

Then there are the survivor groups in the northwest region and Changsha region. Anyway, before New Year's Day, he has to become a trapeze man. It's all the same thing, looking for a partner.Coal mining that can dig coal, steelmaking that can make steel, integrate resources, and try to fit into this plan as much as possible.

Hong Tao is not idle at home, the first step is to expand the army.In addition to the technical personnel necessary for each department, no matter whether newcomers or old members, all participate in military training. Anyway, there are no major projects to do in winter.

Through the military training in the first two months, the field service team of the Armed Forces Department selected more than 500 full-time combatants, accounting for almost a quarter of the total number.Usually, Liu Quanyou to Lu Yejiangnan would raise strong objections to such a high conscription rate, but this time they had no objections and raised their hands and feet in support.

This is the pressure. Anyone who has seen the power of the zombie army can feel the sense of crisis.If you can't even keep the base, no matter how good the construction is, no matter how much production is, it will be nothing in the end.Anyway, there is no shortage of food and drink right now. If we raise more professional soldiers, everyone can sleep more comfortably.

With the start of the military expansion, a large-scale search operation also began.Hong Tao divided these people into seven brigades, with members of the special service team as the captains, training and fighting at the same time, radiating to all the surrounding towns.

In addition to cleaning up the local zombies, they also have a task to find the local military department, and search for possible military stations and military warehouses nearby from the file archives.

By the way, register the industrial raw materials you see along the way, such as coal, oil, metallurgical raw materials, chemical raw materials, steel and so on.The more detailed the better, not afraid of tediousness.After these materials are handed over, Shui Nanqin will lead a special person to sort them out and create files by category for emergencies.

As long as the army garrisons and warehouses are found, a convoy from the logistics department will set off, and there will be no hair left in the past.If there happens to be an airport nearby, Schultz's C130 will fly there unsteadily, and then fly back when it is full.

It seemed that hundreds of moving hamsters suddenly emerged from the entire North China land, sweeping all the way, and the noise was not over until the first spring rain came and the flowers bloomed.

Hong Tao did not participate in the winter raids. He took the pilots who had no flying missions and several key technicians from the mechanical and electrical department, and landed one by one in the airports of surrounding cities in that biplane, and cleared the aircraft on the apron and hangars. Checked them all.

If there is a suitable model, it will be overhauled immediately, and if there is a possibility of repair, it will be repaired immediately on the spot. If there are missing parts, they will be dismantled from the same model of aircraft.When you can fly, just drive to the next airport.

It took more than four months to get back a total of 3 Yun-8Cs, 5 Yun-5Bs, 3 Cessna 172s and 2 Wuzhi 9s that can take off normally. It was disassembled and sealed up as accessories, basically setting up the overall framework of the Air Force.

The Yun-8C has a range of more than 5000 kilometers. The cargo compartment is an airtight cabin. It is no problem to carry more than 100 people at the limit. It can be used as a medium-to-long-range transport aircraft like the C130. It is the main long-distance delivery tool defined by Hong Tao.

The voyage of Yun-5B is only more than 1000 kilometers. It can carry more than 10 people or more than 1 ton of cargo. It can carry out low-altitude and low-speed bombing. It is defined as the main air defense force of the base.

Although Wuzhi 9 is not a standard armed helicopter, it lacks a lot of sophisticated electronic equipment than professional armed helicopters. It is easier to operate and easier to maintain. It also has cannons and the ability to mount rockets. It is more suitable as a weapon for fixed-point removal of living corpses. .

The Cessna 172 is a small single-engine propeller plane, and it can't fit a few people in total.But Hong Tao used this model when he was learning to fly, and of course he will have to use it to train alliance pilots in the future.In addition, its range is not short, and it can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

In the warm spring breeze, there were a group of people standing on the roof of China World Trade Center Phase III. There were men and women. Even though the spring sun was shining brightly, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and their expressions were even more serious.

"Get ready...to jump!" Randy also shaved his hair to the size of Hong Tao, and his short blond hair was shining brightly under the sunlight.His face was not very good-looking, more impatient, waving a small red flag in his hand, staring at the young man standing by the building as if he had a grudge.

"...Mr. Lan...I, I...my stomach hurts..." With a loud roar, the young man closed his eyes, squatted down under the expectant eyes of everyone, and begged in a crying voice with nostalgia on his face .

Randy took a deep breath, looked back at Hong Tao, and spread his hands to express his helplessness.Today is the first day of air force training. These 80 people are all elites selected from the field team, but they got a big neck when they came up.

"Click..." Hong Tao reached out and hooked the hook of the seat belt on a thick steel wire, and walked towards the young man next to the building, smiling kindly and muttering words as he walked.

"Look, what a blue sky, if you walk over it, it will melt into the blue sky. Go straight ahead and don't look to both sides! Didn't Zhao Cang jump, and Tang Ta jumped too, now it's your turn...hehe hey-hey……"

"Minister Hong, I remembered, I'm afraid of heights...Really, when I was a child..." The young man became even more flustered when he saw Hong Tao approaching, and told all the embarrassing things about being scared and crying when he stood on the bridge when he was young, Want to win some sympathy.

"Well, I also had it when I was young, but as long as I want to overcome it in my heart, it's okay. In this way, instead of jumping, just stand here and look down for 30 seconds, let's get familiar with it first!" Hong Tao was obviously influenced, and then Sighing and shaking his head, he patted the young man on the shoulder, persuading him kindly.

The young man was very moved. Compared with Randy, who was selfless and did not know how to adapt, this powerful leader was more humane.Since others gave me face, I had to take care of it, so get up and look down.

It's a pity that he has only joined the alliance for more than two months, and he still doesn't know the temper of this big leader, let alone what is hidden behind that smiling face.

"I... I'm a little dizzy... ah... ah..." As soon as he stood up and turned around, before he completely lowered his head, he felt a strong force coming from behind his buttocks, and then he flew out.However, he did not fall vertically, but was suspended by the seat belt on the steel cable and slid down quickly, and the screams resounded throughout the CBD.

"See, he's still alive and kicking. If you jump down by yourself, you'll get an excellent grade; if you're tied up and kicked down, you'll get a good grade. Do you know what will happen if you fail to pass the training here? The field team can't go back Now, I can only go to the training team to return to the stove, or to strictly control, what awaits you in the future is endless labor. Choose yourself, whether you want to fly with me in a big plane, or want to follow Zhang Tao to clean pigsty, dig sweet potatoes, and dig trenches !"

After waiting for a while, until the young man landed safely on the inflatable cushion one kilometer away, Hong Tao turned around and waved to Randy, beckoning him to install the glider on himself.Taking advantage of this time, an ultimatum was issued to the group of pale-faced reserve air forces.

"Mother Earth, your son is here..." After speaking, without waiting for half a second, he took two steps towards the run-up and flew out. While shouting, he spread his arms and legs, and unexpectedly maintained his posture, like A big mouse with wings floated straight down.

Chapter 410 Secret Forces

"Such a son, don't worry about it..." Randy muttered softly as he watched the figure swooping down at high speed.

He is very opposed to doing this kind of action for these inexperienced team members. He has seen training paratroopers. They also progress step by step from tens of meters to tens of meters. I have never heard of kicking directly from a height of hundreds of meters. .

Even if there are pulleys and seat belts fixed, there are a lot of inflatable cushions below for protection, which is dangerous.For example, when encountering strong winds, it is possible to blow people up and make the seat belt entangled on the steel wire.If it is light, it will not be able to get up and down and hang in the air. If it is serious, it is very likely that the seat belt will be worn out and fall to death.

But Hong Tao said, there is not so much time to proceed step by step, now we have to work hard, as long as the loss is not serious, we can only afford to die a few people.If no one dies now, more people will die in the future.If you don't want to die, obey orders and do the prescribed actions.

"What are you looking at, who should it be? Come here!" What can Randy say, Hong Tao has already jumped down, and his movements are still so fancy, let's continue!

Skydiving training, that's right, what Hong Tao is doing is skydiving training.It doesn't matter if there is no skydiving tower. He asked the electromechanical team to install a hoist on the top of the third phase of the International Trade Center, lower the wire rope and pull it to a distance of nearly one kilometer, and then fix it on the ground.

This is a simple skydiving tower. Each trainee has a pulley made of three sets of pulleys. Put on the five-point safety belt used by electricians, fasten the pulley to the steel cable, and people can slide along the steel cable. Go down and end up cushioned by an inflatable cushion.

In fact, it is most suitable to use bungee jumping instead of the skydiving tower. Hong Tao has indeed visited several scenic spots with bungee jumping equipment, but none of them can guarantee safety.After being exposed to wind and sun for more than a year, the rubber bands are aging, and it is not safe to replace them with spare ones.

He simply made one himself, which not only has a higher safety factor, but also a higher level. The 300-meter-high skydiving tower is basically similar to an airplane flying at low altitude. You can overcome your fear of heights by jumping twice.

Usually learning to fly a plane requires learning to skydive first, but he managed to get more than 80 people in one go. Does the alliance need so many pilots?Randy and Jiao San were puzzled at first, but later they realized that Hong Tao didn't want to train pilots at all, he wanted to train paratroopers!

Last month, a search team found a large amount of paratrooper equipment at a military airport near Zhangjiakou and called to ask if it was useful.When Hong Tao found out, bright brilliance burst out of his small eyes immediately, and he made a decision immediately. Not only should they all be shipped back, but they cannot be put into storage.

From that moment on, he quietly changed his previous plan.Originally, I just wanted to get a few transport planes, train a few pilots, carry out aerial bombing if necessary, and continue to play the trick of targeted elimination.Or airlift personnel and equipment for remote support in times of crisis for other groups.

But now that he had paratrooper gear, he started thinking about more.For example, secretly training a small-scale paratrooper unit, so that even if the local airport is occupied by zombies, troops can be quickly deployed to clean it up, making it easier for planes to land.

But after thinking about it, training paratroopers is no easier than training special forces. In addition to higher physical training than ordinary troops, the first thing to overcome is fear of heights.

There is no shortcut to this thing, it can only be done hard.Dizziness, nausea, flustered, out of breath...it's all a matter of one kick, if one kick doesn't work, more kicks will be done.Jump a few more times, and when the body gets used to it, nothing will happen.

While exercising, get rid of fear of heights, learn the structure and use of parachutes, and skillfully store the umbrella into the umbrella bag, then you can find a good weather to board the plane and jump for real.

This process should take about three months to half a year. From March to May, Hong Tao would go to Xishan Airport to watch whenever he had nothing to do.According to the usual practice, whoever is targeted by him will be unlucky, and the more than 80 paratroopers are no exception.

Every day is training from morning to night. Running slowly increases from 2 kilometers to 5 kilometers. After a few days of adaptation, it immediately becomes a weight-bearing. After running back and resting for half an hour, I have to continue to practice horizontal bars and push-ups.

After lunch, I slept for a while, and then I had to jump down from the top of the building. My legs were weak, and I had to practice hand-to-hand combat and shooting before dinner.Fortunately, the two paratrooper officers in charge of the training mission did not have the habit of blowing the emergency assembly number in the middle of the night, otherwise they would not even be able to sleep well.

These two paratrooper officers are not outsiders, they are the sisters of the Pei family.Don't underestimate them as women, but their hobbies include skydiving and hang gliding. They can't be regarded as extreme athletes, and their level is good.

In addition, to become an officer of a secret army, the first thing you value is relative loyalty.If you want to ask who in the revival alliance is the most obedient to him, except for some members of the rescue team, these survivors from Japan and South Korea are the most.

They chose to leave their hometown at the beginning, and no one could trust Hong Tao if they didn't believe in it. It was even more difficult to change their families, so they had to hang themselves on this crooked neck tree.

But Hong Tao couldn't watch the paratrooper training today. Gao Tianyi's plane was circling over Shahe Airport and was about to land.If he was the only one, Hong Tao wouldn't take care of him. If there was anything to report to Lin Na first, it would be enough to take the time to read the report by himself.

Today was different. There was a guest from afar on the plane. He came here specially to participate in the negotiation of the United Industrial Group. Hong Tao had to participate in an event of this size.

Speaking of Gao Tianyi's work performance, I can only use one word, good!Probably fed up with being a rubber stamp, he worked extra hard and worked extra hard when he got his job back.With his ability, as long as he works hard, he will not fail.

But the smooth process surprised Hong Tao a little. Before the Spring Festival, Changchun was the first to hear the news. The army of zombies didn't even plan to pass the festival. They killed them from west to east. Also scary enough.

With the lessons learned from the past, the Alliance of Four Provinces has repaired the fortifications long ago, but they have no pilots and cannot use the method of targeted killing by aircraft, so they can only ask the Renaissance Alliance for help.

After listening to Gao Tianyi's report, Hong Tao decided to take the newly formed air force out and fly directly to Longjia International Airport in 6 Yun-5s.

This airport is east of CC City, and has not been affected by the zombie army.After receiving the news, the Alliance of Four Provinces will immediately send people to clear the runway and prepare the fuel and ammunition needed for combat.

I won't talk about the battle process, in fact, Hong Tao didn't see it either.The army of zombies were all attracted by the survivors in the urban area, and they never came to the east of the city at all.After he arrived with the plane, he took a short rest for two hours, refueled, reloaded, and then continued to take off.

The three planes went to the west and southwest of the city where the zombies are most concentrated to search for traces of living corpses, and the remaining two planes hovered near the Southwest Fourth Ring Road, ready to help the survivors on the ground fill the gap at any time.

The Four Provinces Alliance's combat method is not the same as that of the Revival Alliance. They don't know where they got so much cement and built dozens of large bunkers on the Fourth Ring Road.

It is equipped with enough ammunition, firearms and food and drink.If the people are not dead and the ammunition is not used up, the zombies will not be able to break through. They can only surround the outside and be beaten in vain, or they will be hit by crossfire.

At the beginning, the zombies really suffered a lot. Although the Alliance of Four Provinces did not have an air force, they also had a trump card. A battalion of 12 155mm heavy artillery opened fire at a distance of more than 20 kilometers.

That power, even on the plane can feel the shock.As soon as it goes down, it becomes a small mushroom cloud. All living things within the range of the basketball court will be blown to pieces by the shock wave, and most of the football field is within the killing range.

As a human, it would be enough to be torn apart by the shock wave or hit by shrapnel, but the killing effect on zombies would be [-]% off.Unless it was directly blown to pieces, or its torso and legs were broken, it would still stand up immediately and move on even if it was blown upside down and its belly was ripped open.

After being bombed all the way, they finally touched the bunker defense line, and were beaten up and down by bullets of various calibers, causing countless casualties.But the zombies really don't care about the casualty rate, they have no fear, and they rush in waves.Until the barrel of the gun turned red, looking around, not only was there not less, but more than before.

The most troublesome thing is that with the command of the living zombies, the zombies no longer foolishly surrounded the bunker to be beaten, but continued to approach the urban area.They seemed to sense that there was a living person somewhere, and rushed straight to the main base.

Chapter 411 Negotiations Broke Down

This is broken. The management of the Four Provinces Alliance has only heard of the power of living corpses and zombies, but has never seen them with their own eyes. They feel that blocking them in the front line of the bunker will consume energy slowly.The defense of the base is not so tight, and the heavy artillery groups can't use their strength if the distance is too close, so they can only rely on tanks and a small number of mortars to resist.

If the revival alliance's air force does not come, they will definitely not be wiped out immediately, but they will not be able to resist for too long.When the ammunition in the bunker is exhausted, if you don't go out, you will starve to death, and if you go out, you will be killed by being bitten. There are only two ways.As for the people in the base, some of them should be able to escape.

Didn't the ancients say that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.Compared with the defense of the capital, the Air Force of the Revival Alliance played a much more powerful role in the defense of Changchun, all thanks to the aerial bombs provided by the four provinces alliance.

The 25kg aerial bomb is really easy to use. It is not only accurate, powerful, but also extremely safe.After a brief explanation by their artillery captain, Hong Tao finally understood that as long as this kind of thing is not thrown down, it will not explode by mistake if it is hit with a hammer.

There is a small fan on the butt of each aerial bomb, and it takes a few turns to unlock the fuze.It doesn't like to turn very much, and it is very difficult to rotate with your fingers.But it doesn't matter, the speed and airflow of the plane can completely blow it, throw it down and turn it for a certain number of turns, click, the fuze is unlocked.

After this battle, the management of the Four Provinces Alliance immediately realized that the consumption of ammunition reserves far exceeded expectations, and their attitude towards the joint factory immediately changed from dispensable to more eager, and agreed in principle to provide some Technicians in smelting, oil extraction and chemical engineering.

With their cooperation, it will be much easier for Gao Tian to go to the Northwest Alliance to talk again and again. It is a lesson learned from the past. There are already two previous cars.

Speaking of March, when Changsha heard about the establishment of a joint factory, they actually asked to participate, saying that they could provide chemical and oil refining technicians.

Today is the first official meeting of the heads of these four alliances. Gao Tianyi and them have been talking about the specific details for more than a month, and they have generally reached an agreement. All parties need to sign and sign.

The venue for the negotiation was not at the Temple of Earth base, nor did they choose a luxury hotel in the urban area, but was designated by Hong Tao at the Shahe Airport in the northern suburbs.Wouldn't it be rude to do so, or be overly wary of a lack of trust?

"No, I want to welcome guests from afar with a grand ceremony!" Hong Tao replied in this way, and he did the same.
