Chapter 402 Post-War Summary

"On the way here, it won't work. Expert Wang said that the blood in the lungs blocked the trachea. Alas, good luck tricks people. They were not bitten to death by zombies, but were beaten to death by their own people. You have a chance to see the cattle. Dafu, the two brothers have a very good relationship. That guy is a stickler, try to find a way to enlighten him, the dead cannot be resurrected..."

Zhou Yuan habitually stroked the hair next to her ears, but she only touched her ears but not her hair. She touched the short hair on her head very unaccustomedly, and patted Jiao Qiao's shoulder, like an old cadre, with her hands behind her back. Go down the mountain alone.

"Enlightenment...how to enlighten? No, I have to ask my wife!" Jiao Qiao did not find it difficult to conduct training, and he gradually became less afraid of fighting, but when it comes to doing other people's ideological work, his forehead is full of black lines. .

His family background determined that he seldom considered other people's feelings. He had never added skill points to this skill at all, and he didn't even know how to start it.Fortunately, he married a daughter-in-law who was good at thinking about people, and Lin Na happened to be waiting for childbirth in Huairou Base, so visiting Jia and learning from him killed two birds with one stone.

Victory, then what?For ordinary people, victory means safety and ease, and life can continue.But for managers, there are more troubles after victory. There are endless meetings every day from morning to night, and there are endless statistics. They don't feel relaxed at all, but they are more tired.

No way, although this battle lasted only two days and two nights, and the casualties were not too many, the impact it caused was very large, in all aspects.

First of all, half of the city has been smashed. From the South Second Ring Road to the Tonghui River to the south, there are bomb craters and dumb mines everywhere.The streets were torn apart by medicine packs and landmines, and the houses collapsed.

But the work of cleaning up the battlefield couldn't start right away. In addition to the corpses of zombies in the city, there were also groups of zombies basking in the sun stupidly, like a ghost town.These zombies and blue devils must be wiped out first, or led to other places, and the battle will be considered a complete victory.

The second is that the ammunition reserves are in a hurry. Four-fifths of the ammunition and weapons collected in more than a year have been used up in two days.The warehouses of several reserve bases became empty. Except for some large-caliber artillery shells in stock, there was a shortage of anti-aircraft shells, bullets, grenades, explosives, landmines, and weapon accessories.

If it is not replenished in time, a battle of this scale can last for at most two or three hours, and it will be necessary to fight hand-to-hand with cold weapons.Where to find weapons and ammunition is also a big problem that needs to be solved immediately in front of the management.

God knows when the zombie army will come again, the south is solved, what about the east?What about the west?What about the north?Although it is not as dense as the cities in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, it has a large population, and there may be a second or third time at any time.

Finally, the overall situation. The revival alliance defeated the zombies besieged on a large scale, and the results were brilliant and inspiring.But in terms of quantity, the zombies that came this time must not be all, not even one percent.

So other survivor groups are likely to encounter the same dilemma, so the question is, can we watch them be wiped out, or ignore them and let them fend for themselves?

From a personal point of view, it should be!This time the Revival Alliance encountered difficulties, and the other survivor alliances did nothing except call to express support, not even sending a symbolic soldier.When you are unlucky, why should I rush to the rescue? If you die, you deserve it.

But Hong Tao can't think like this, and he has to try his best to convince the management so that everyone can't be so narrow-minded.Fighting zombies is not a matter of a certain person, a few people, or a certain region. Only by uniting can there be hope of victory.

The ancients said that this is what it means when the lips are cold and the teeth are dead.If a group of survivors is wiped out by zombies today, you don’t care; if another group is wiped out the day after tomorrow, you don’t care.If things go on like this, there will be overwhelming zombies waiting for him, on the order of millions or even tens of millions, and he will have to wait to die at that time.

Helping others is not about losing face, but actually helping yourself, even if others don't thank you.This is a bit like the Anti-Japanese War. If the various factions in the country were still sticking to each other's grievances and could not unify to the outside world, then the final situation would definitely be broken by each of them, and the country would be gone before the United States dropped the atomic bomb.

In the same way, the zombies now are more ruthless than the invaders back then.The invaders just want the population and resources on this land to be used by them, and the zombies are directly killing everyone.If you win, everyone wins together. If you lose, everyone loses. There are no eggs under the nest, and no one can escape.

So at this time, we must jump out of narrow personal and regional thinking and take a long-term view.It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, just think of it as doing it for yourself, even if you pinch your nose.

But this leads to a lot of problems, the most important thing is how to help other survivor groups fight against the siege of zombies?

As far as the country is concerned, it is impossible for survivors and groups to exist in most parts of North China and the northern part of Central China.This wave of zombies was pushed across from the southeast of Shandong Province to the north, sweeping through all survivor groups, large and small, before being finally defeated by the Revival Alliance.

Through this incident, I believe that many small and medium-sized groups will also make wise choices, put aside their own plans to sweep the door, and try to get closer to large groups as much as possible, or simply merge.

In other words, the nearest survivor groups in the south may be Wuhan and Changsha, more than 1000 kilometers apart.From the east to Shanhaiguan, there must be small groups, but they are not on the radio communication list. There is only one large group in Changchun, and the distance is also thousands of kilometers.

If you look to the west, it's not too close. The Northwest League in Xi'an has records, and there are no records at all in the north.For example, the Southwest Alliance in Sichuan and the Western Alliance near Yili will not be considered for the time being.

With such a long distance, it must be difficult to quickly support by land transportation. Now the highway network and railway network have been ruined by the flood, and the survivors are simply unable to repair it.

Then here comes the answer, the land cannot pass, and the sea cannot reach, there is only one place left, the sky!

Forming an air force is a new plan proposed by Hong Tao.But when he brought it up, he started to play tricks again. He didn't say it was used to rescue others, but he said it was to better fight against zombie siege in the future.

There is only one reason, to get everyone to agree as much as possible.He can have this awareness because he has lived for too long, and some things have long been thought of, and he doesn't care.But not everyone can live that long, there must be limitations.

He has only one purpose in forming the air force, to train pilots, train relevant personnel, and be ready for long-distance raids at any time, as the next trump card against the zombie siege.

The power of the air force is obvious to all in this large-scale battle with zombies. Without the participation of three planes, the final victory of this battle will be 100% zombies.Just relying on the ground troops to consume the number of zombies a little bit, let alone a million level, even 50 can't stand it.

Survivors lack weapons of mass destruction, and can only rely on air superiority to eliminate living corpses at fixed points, and use the natural defects of zombies to win.

So this proposal was quickly approved by the council. No matter whether the ruling philosophy is consistent or not, no one wants to be bitten by zombies.On the issue of life-saving, Hong Tao has already been able to keep his word.

No way, he fought zombies too many times, from the siege of the Pingnan army to the relief of the survivors in Jinan, and then to the defense of the capital, he acted arbitrarily and turned dangers into safety time and time again, and there was no place to find fault if he wanted to.

According to the principle that everything has two sides, in addition to troubles, this war will definitely bring benefits.Yes, the first benefit is confidence and unity.

When everyone participated in a deadly battle that could not be retreated on the front line, everyone's mental state was strengthened, and they no longer regarded zombies as invincible monsters.If they do it again, I believe they should make fewer mistakes, be more efficient, and know how to unite better than this time.

Don't be afraid of losing supplies. If you go west, east, north, and south, there should be more army garrisons, so look for them and collect them again.As long as the people are there, the spirit is there, and the ability is there, there will be no shortage of weapons in the short term.

Another gain is experience, the experience of fighting zombies on a large scale.Afterwards, Hong Tao asked all the participants in the battle, including those who transported the shells behind, to make a full summary and record every useful detail that happened on the battlefield.

Chapter 403 July 9

It is first summarized to each department, and then brought to the Standing Council for full discussion, to speak freely, and to analyze the pros and cons in detail to form a final decision.Then follow this resolution to formulate future development standards.

What needs to be strengthened, what should be improved, what links need to be added, and finally a set of plans that can be implemented for a long time is formulated to prevent another large-scale zombie attack.

At the same time, this plan will be divided into several parts, which will be notified by radio to the headquarters of the Human Survivors Alliance, and then forwarded by the headquarters to all parts of the world.

Although the circumstances and conditions of survivors in different regions are different, using this report as a basis and then modifying it according to local conditions is definitely more rigorous than thinking about it out of thin air. After all, they are all practical experience in exchange for human lives.

There is also a surprise, or windfall.Five days after the end of the war, the staff of the logistics department responsible for cleaning up the corpses of the zombies found a wounded living corpse in the Tonghui River.

It may have been hiding somewhere on the south bank of the river to direct the zombies to attack, but the thermal imaging camera on the plane discovered that the air wave wrapped in medicine was thrown into the river.Since he couldn't swim, he had to hold a broken communication cable and hang in the water to survive.

September 9, this is the name Hong Tao gave it.Jiao Si has become a thing of the past. Even though the brain development of this living corpse has obviously evolved faster due to eating human brains along the way, Hong Tao doesn't think it can be compared with Jiao Si, and naturally it is not worthy of having a human name.

On the same day, Lin Na gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.Now Lao Jiao's family not only has a queen, but two!Give Jiao San to Midea, I almost said that I would take everyone to Sanlutun nightclub for a reservation.

Although Hong Tao has always advocated that if he catches a toad, he must urinate, but Jiao San is now a father, so he has to save some face for others, and he can't bully others too much, so he no longer let the living corpse be named Jiao.

However, Jiao San was still very dissatisfied with the zombie's new name. His two children were born on September 9th. When he thought of the child's birthday being the same as the living corpse's name, he couldn't help but think of Hong Tao's abomination.In his heart, this name must be deliberately made by someone, and he doesn't appreciate it at all!

With the last batch of zombies staying in the south of the city being lured away on September 9, the vigorous home improvement plan was immediately put into practice.When Hong Tao was a child, he often heard a saying: Dig deep holes to accumulate food.

There is no need to dig the hole. Now all the underground spaces can be used for raising fish. Let’s dig a trench instead.The line of defense is shrinking, and the outermost circle starts from the Fourth Ring Road. An artificial river connecting the Yongding River, Liangshui River, Xiaotaihou River and Tonghui River is being rushed day and night.

This wide ditch, which is ten meters wide at the narrowest and three meters deep at the shallowest, will serve as a moat to the south of the Renaissance Alliance base, blocking the enemy's approach to the base from the south.

The east and west sides cannot be relaxed. Fortunately, there is the Yongding River outside the West Fifth Ring Road, and the Wenyu River and Chaobai River outside the East Fifth Ring Road. They are not considered natural barriers and are much wider than artificial rivers.

Hong Tao simply ordered most of the bridges on the river to be demolished or blown up. At that time, as long as the upstream dam is opened, no matter whether people or zombies, it will take a lot of effort to pass through here.

In the north, the Qinghe River outside the Fifth Ring Road is used as a natural barrier, but you can relax a little here.The northern suburbs are all continuous mountainous areas with a relatively small population. Zhangjiakou is only [-] kilometers away. Even if there are zombies coming over the mountains, the scale will not be too large.

However, according to the principle of prudence, Hong Tao still set up fixed observation posts in Nankou Town and Badaling, and the field team sent people to station them in turn, which was regarded as a kind of training.

"Hong, we want to stay here and join your revival alliance, can you approve it?"

On the issue of how to build an air force, Hong Tao discussed with four foreign pilots many times, mainly to ask them to find a suitable aircraft and help them repair it.As a result, he had no intention of planting willows and willows, and Schultz suddenly asked a very serious question while driving a plane with Hong Tao to Yanqing Military Airport.

"Does Mr. Flo know?" Hong Tao's first reaction was not to have a conflict with the alliance headquarters because of a plane and several pilots.Speaking of which, the planes and people are all supported by them free of charge, and they are borrowed. They can't be like Uncle Liu Huang, who borrowed but never repaid.

"You misunderstood, our actions are all voluntary, the plane does not belong to the alliance, Mr. Flo has no right to interfere. In fact, there are factions in our place, some people are willing to develop fortresses, some people like to play with ships, planes And pilots are not taken very seriously. But in your case it's the complete opposite, and we can be of more use."

Hearing Hong Tao's question, Schultz immediately understood, and then gave a detailed answer.He had carefully observed what Hong Tao did, and measured it with European standards, and he appreciated it more from the bottom of his heart.

If possible, he would let Hong Tao take over as the chairman of the Survivors Alliance.Compared with that old French man, this Chinese man has more energy, more forward-thinking ideas, and tougher methods, and he is not as despicable as a politician.Of course, there are many small tricks, and they are even worse.

But in troubled times, such people are more likely to succeed than pure politicians and pure scholars.The ideal can't be without, but it can't be too much.Politicians do not believe in any ideals and only focus on immediate interests; scholars are full of ideals and ignore immediate contradictions.

Hong Tao should be regarded as a combination of the two. He has ideals and is quite ambitious; he has rich knowledge and execution ability, but he does not spend all day studying specific technologies.Compromise with reality can be appropriate.If you can keep your mouth shut and keep blinding BB, it will be even more perfect.

"...Is that what the three of them mean?" Hong Tao still didn't dare to agree easily. He was in urgent need of pilots, and Zhang Ke's children were only good at flying planes, and they were far from dealing with faults and maintaining planes.

But the style of these four people is too escaping, they belong to the unconstrained style, and they are also very adventurous.This kind of person is a double-edged sword, very capable and destructive, and extremely difficult to control.A person who dares to dedicate his life to his pursuit, how can you control him?

"Yes, they also support my idea...Here, we have the possibility to become the commander of the air force. Back, we can only be used as scout pilots. As far as I know, there is no intention of any group to establish an air force !"

As you can see, Schultz really didn't hold his breath, nor did he simply think that Hong Tao was worth following.The reason why he or the four of them chose to stay was also because they saw enough temptations to benefit.

It's just that they don't have the reservedness of Chinese people. When they see a lady they like, they have to express it. When they see what they want, they have to make it a negotiation condition.

"Hahaha, I can't guarantee the title of Air Force Commander, and the alliance has no plans to establish a real air force. At most, it can be regarded as a flight brigade, and it belongs to the Armed Forces Department, which is at the same level as Captain Jiao of the field service team."

But Hong Tao is not unfamiliar with this kind of personality, and he is not opposed to talking about business.In fact, it is more convenient to do so. Everyone speaks out what they need, and cooperates if they agree, and thinks about bad ideas behind the scenes if they fail to agree.Now that Schultz has already set the price, don't be shy about it yourself. If you ask for a price, I will pay you back on the spot.

"No problem! As long as there are no laymen dictating blindly, the position is not a problem. We just want the right job, and the necessary authority can ensure that the work will not be interfered with."

With the character of a German, Schulz has already been considered to keep pace with the times.But when it comes to work, it is still so hard, and the language is not artistic at all.If Liu Quanyou hears these words, he will immediately become suspicious. Well, if you don't want to be disturbed, then you don't want to be led, and you don't have to talk about it!

"...Congratulations, from now on you are the deputy captain of the flight brigade of the Armed Forces!" Hong Tao immediately stretched out his right hand, with a wicked smile all over his face.

"Why is it the deputy?" Schultz didn't reach out, he was not very satisfied with this position.

"Because you have been here for too short a time, you haven't fully integrated into the group, and you can't communicate smoothly with other departments. Therefore, I can only serve as the captain. Don't worry, I will not interfere with the business issues of the flight team. I am only responsible for external coordination. "

Hong Tao still stretched out his hand and didn't take it back. He firmly believed that as long as he explained clearly, Schultz would be satisfied.These four guys are all engineer personalities, and they really don't like to get involved in political struggles.

Chapter 404 Realization of Influence

"Deal! I'm wondering if I should get a Boeing or an Airbus, so that I can go to Europe, America, or even Africa, and take all the survivors there!"

Sure enough, as soon as Schultz heard that the captain needed to fight wits with others, he immediately stretched out his hand and held Hong Tao tightly.Then he immediately entered the working state and brought up his ideas.

"You are murder! Let's find a suitable piston aircraft. Andre said that soon even this C130 will not be able to fly due to lack of aviation kerosene."

Hong Tao quickly withdrew his hand, well, there is something more daring to think than himself.Large passenger planes are not as easy to fly as tactical transport planes and small planes. If you are not careful, you will have to attend a funeral, and there will be no bones left.

"Yeah... Fuel is a big problem. Hong, I heard Mr. Randy talk about your idea. It's very good. Can you push forward faster, before the energy fails!"

That's what Schultz said. He couldn't even find a qualified co-pilot for a large airliner, so he couldn't even talk about long-distance flights.But he is serious about one thing, which is to resume production as soon as possible using existing energy equipment and raw materials.

"People... I can't do anything without people. It's been a whole year, and I've only gathered more than 1000 people, which is still a long way from resuming production." Hong Tao could only sigh on this topic, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't .

"Yeah, it's been a year in the blink of an eye, and that day is a miracle when I think about it. My co-pilot was locked out because he went to the bathroom, otherwise the biggest possibility is that we fell from the sky together."

Hearing Hong Tao's emotion, Schultz couldn't help falling into terrible memories.When the zombie disease broke out, he was flying a passenger plane in the sky, and suddenly lost the guidance of the tower, and the cabin was still in chaos.

But he still found the runway and landed safely by relying on the automatic guidance of the equipment. All of this is extremely lucky. If it happens again, it is very likely that the plane will still crash.

"Don't worry, the situation will get better. There will be a few allies joining before the winter, and your flying brigade can go to Japan and the Korean peninsula to pick up the survivors who are willing to leave there. In this case, by next spring, We may have a scale of 3000 to [-] people, and we will restore mechanical processing and coal mining on a small scale first, and then we can use steam engines even if there is no oil.”

Should it be pessimistic?Hong Tao didn't think it was necessary.Although the progress is not as fast as I expected, it is not too far behind.The population of the Revival Alliance is indeed not enough. Even if it increases to 3000 in spring, it is still far from enough.

However, in his long-term plan, the necessary industries in the industrial chain such as steel, energy, machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, medical care, agriculture, animal husbandry, transportation, etc. are not independently completed by the Revival Alliance.

Not only does the Revival Alliance not have this strength, it is impossible for any survivor group in the world to have this strength.To complete the basic industrial layout, several, a dozen, or even dozens of groups in different regions need to work together.

There is coal near your house, well, you don't have to do anything to dig coal.There is a chemical plant near your home, well, you don’t have to do anything, just find the right people to maintain the plant equipment, and wait for the energy and raw materials to start.There is a steel factory near your house, don't look at it stupidly, go ahead, you will be the steel king in the future.

What?There are no factories near your home, not even minerals!Don't worry, this kind of place is the best place to grow food and raise livestock, let's open up wasteland and farm.People depend on food, no matter what other people have, they will eventually have to eat food and meat.It's not that you don't have everything in your home, it's that you don't lack everything.

If you are not good at mining, steelmaking, chemical raw materials, or farming, or you are not qualified to do it, then you can pick up the original railway, or get two large ships for everyone to run errands and transport the assembly.It is not inferior to others to exchange services for daily necessities and products.

When Hong Tao was fine, he secretly calculated that as long as two or three groups can cooperate on a small scale in the early stage, a simple industrial chain can be restored, such as coal mining, smelting, forging, and machining.Another example is oil extraction, oil refining, petrochemical, pharmaceutical production, or providing raw materials to arsenals.

And every industrial chain will be involved with each other, and more industrial chains will be born, attracting more groups to join, division of labor and cooperation, each of them will have a share, and then the final product will be exchanged.

If it is feasible, Hong Tao feels that some technologies may stay at the level of the 20s and 5s and will not continue to retreat.Some high-tech industries may have regressed a lot, or may not be able to recover at all.

Then it’s out of the question, the life and development of human beings are guaranteed first, and the rest is left to future generations to figure out a solution slowly.At best, I just left a kindling, the kindling of the industrial age, and I can't finish it more.

"God, I'm probably going to fly a World War I aircraft with cloth skins again in the future... But I like it, that's called flying, that's called air combat, not looking at the radar and pressing buttons, which is very boring."

After listening to Hong Tao's narration, Schultz was not only not depressed but also happy.He danced and gesticulated the piloting modes of World War I planes he knew, trying to make Hong Tao understand.

In fact, Hong Tao was still conservative. As soon as the details of this base defense battle were revealed, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.

Million scale!So far, the recorded battles between humans and zombies, that is, the two battles that took place in the United States and Jinan, are all at the six-figure level.This time, the Revival Alliance not only increased the order of magnitude by one, but also won the battle, and its own losses were not large.

What does this mean?Strength, tough strength.Although the final solution to the problem was the helicopter, if the ground troops couldn't stop it, they would have no chance to use the strategy of eliminating living corpses at a fixed point.To be able to withstand the attack of millions of zombies on the ground, in addition to the reasonable combination of weapons, people are also very important.

Many people can understand this truth, so a certain idea naturally arises.For example, weigh whether your team can be firm on the ground and sharp in the air when encountering a zombie attack of this scale.

If you can't, will your life be in danger?If so, where should we go?Rather than panicking and begging to be taken in when you are about to die, it is better to negotiate and join in advance.This is more calm, more dignified, and easier to obtain the maximum benefit.

Since October, the Revival Alliance has entered a harvest period.The reputation created earlier began to materialize, and wave after wave of defectors continued to pour in from three directions: east, west, north.There are complete groups with an established system, and there are also scattered survivors with a few people and a few vehicles.

Regardless of whether it is a large-scale or an individual, the attitude of the Revival Alliance is very firm. Let’s talk about the rules first, clarify the ugly words and treatment, and welcome those who are willing to abide by it. If it is too difficult, let it go.

But there are basically no people who disagree. People who were skeptical about the revival alliance fighting millions of zombies alone, as long as they approach Nancheng and see zombie corpses and bomb craters all over the streets, it is not difficult to imagine It is not difficult to estimate how abnormal the firepower density of the Renaissance Alliance is.

Of course, most of them would not know that those craters were not shells, but mines.

From the South Second Ring Road to the South Fifth Ring Road, in addition to a few major roads, the rest of the streets have been laid with more than 60 infantry mines of various types. So far, this area is also a restricted area, and casual entry is not allowed. .

It is a pity that the truth is often only known to a few people. The personnel of the Logistics Department and the Internal Affairs Department of the Renaissance Alliance who were in charge of the reception were all told not to say too many details of the battle, and they all introduced the survivors who came to defect according to the brochures issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The content is nothing more than how united and harmonious the Renaissance Alliance is from several perspectives, how fair and efficient the management is, and how brilliant and wise the main leaders are.

This thing was jointly created by several writers. Now there are a lot of talents in the alliance. There are three Doctors of Light and more than ten graduate students. Unfortunately, most of them are liberal arts.

They usually don't have much room to play, but this time it's good, trying their best to complete the words, and some of Hong Tao's old faces are red from the inside.However, the thermal conductivity of his face was extremely poor, the inside was burning red, and the outer layer was only a little hot, and he licked his face and modified it several times.
