On February 11, 2023, the weather was fine, the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, and it was already one week since the beginning of spring. (
.
.) The temperature is uneven in different places. It stays at 15 degrees Celsius near Huai'an City and is slightly lower in the morning, about 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.
There is a cold wind blowing.
Shen Cong checked the supplies on the car for the last time: "There is enough active fruit, there is enough golden beast meat in the cold storage, there are enough guns and ammunition in the supply room, there are enough nuclear weapons... all are sufficient."
After the inspection was completed, Shen Cong circled the nuclear diagram of Donkey Kong and inspected the parts for the last time.
Half an hour later, the inspection work was completed.
Shen Cong shouted to the four-legged dragon playing in the distance: "Xiaosi, come back."
The four-legged dragon crawled back like a snake, followed Shen Cong's fingers, and coiled into the second section of the bucket.
This tow truck is a steel tow truck with a length of ten meters and a width of five meters. It has eight huge tires. The overall structure is very simple and does not have any high technology. It is a drag bucket that can be discarded at any time. Its sole purpose is to pull Shen Cong's pet, the four-legged dragon. The four-legged dragon is huge, but its snake-like body can be bent comfortably inside.
There is a drag bucket at the back, which is wrapped in iron and is reserved for the migration of the King Kong ant colony. It is fifteen meters long, five meters wide and eight meters high.
Three carriages, connected in series, like a small train.
Just as he was preparing to leave Huai'an City, he received a notice from the Military Commission that he must attend this plenary meeting of the Military Commission.
"What's the issue?"
"About the future development strategy of the Eastern Theater Command."
"You discuss it, I won't go." Shen Cong had no interest in this kind of meeting. He no longer trusted Liu Yiwu and others, and he didn't want to get involved with the war zone anymore.
Then Liu Yiwu personally announced on the radio: "Commander Hu, this is a major meeting for the development of the theater. You are the honorary commander and the number one member of the Standing Committee. Please be sure to attend. We need your opinion."
Then even Zhao Weiliang came over to inform that he had arrived from New Hefei, and Zhu Li was also attending the Military Commission.
Very troublesome.
Shen Cong agreed. The tense meeting in the war zone made him a little interested.
"Xiaosi, King Kong, I'll be right back."
"Gulu gulu."
…
At the Military Commission meeting, Shen Cong sat in the center, with Liu Yiwu on his left and Huang Caishan on his right.
Silent.
The topics of the meeting mainly focused on the "Western Development" strategy.
This strategy is mainly about discussion, allowing the center of gravity of the eastern theater to move westward as a whole, to Anhui. Because the seaside in Jiangsu Province is no longer safe and the humidity is not very high now, golden beasts are unwilling to invade. If it is windy or rainy, causing the humidity to rise, the golden beast may cross the line at any time.
The eastern theater requires strategic depth.
Although there are many dangers on land, several ultimate golden beasts have been discovered. Green frogs and giant lynx live in Luoma Lake Oasis, and iron-eating beasts live in Huoshan Oasis.
However, the ultimate golden beast on land has a sense of territory. So far, the iron-eating beast has not been found leaving the Huoshan Oasis, nor has the green-skinned frog or the giant lynx been found wandering around.
The only black iron giant bear that went out was picked up and killed by Shen Cong.
Relatively speaking, land is safer, and the fertile zone around the oasis is a good planting area. With the excavation of the fire fragments in the oasis of Longdi Town, the activity content in Dafeng District, Jianhu County, Yancheng City has dropped. This time the golden beast attacks, it just helps the war zone make the decision to migrate.
Another supporter of the western development strategy is the armored vehicle unit that went to search the foggy areas and has returned.
Brought a lot of good news.
The original commander and political commissar of the 31st Army, as well as more than 50 trapped officers and soldiers, were rescued. It turns out that these people were indeed arrested by the Yunlongshan Park Management Office in Xuzhou City, where Wuyuan Point is located. Some people in Yun Mansion are evolutionaries, and they are asked to help hunt the black iron bear.
After a confrontation with the armored vehicle troops, relying on Colonel Han Shoucheng's strategy, an agreement was reached. As long as they cooperated in hunting the black iron bear and helped them treat photophobia, the fallen officers and soldiers would be released and join the eastern theater.
In the end, the six Wuyuan Point settlements unanimously signed the contract.
As a result, a group of people went out to hunt the black iron giant bear, and found that the Yangcai Tuan was left with a mess all over the place and the huge hole dug by the black iron giant bear.
From the corroded blood stains at the scene, it was judged that the black iron giant bear had been killed, and there were tire marks and traces of dragging the body.
At that time, Colonel Han Shoucheng said: "The mission has been completed. The one who hunted the black iron bear must be our number one soldier in the eastern theater, Major General Hu Ge."
And he boasted fiercely about how awesome Shen Cong was, how one person could destroy an entire army, and so on.
Using carrots and sticks, more than 10,000 survivors in Xuzhou City agreed to join the Eastern Theater Command and will be organized. However, until their photophobia is cured, they cannot leave the foggy area. In addition, Yunlong Lake is speculated to be a small oasis. At this meeting, it was officially decided to establish a Yunlong Lake settlement around Yunlong Lake and implement unified military management.
"By opening up Xuzhou, our next step will be to open up the Huaibei, Suzhou, and Bengbu areas, and eventually connect with Huainan City to form an integration with the new Hefei. The main production and residential development in the eastern theater will gradually shift to Anhui." Liu Yiwu made a report at the meeting.
Then a large map was projected on the slide.
It is a map of East China, where the four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Henan are located. The map is marked with large and small circles, indicating oases and rich belts.
It can be seen from this.
The rich belt of Linyi City Oasis encompasses Zaozhuang, Xinyi City and Donghai County; the rich belt of Luoma Lake Oasis encompasses Xinyi City, Donghai County, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Huaibei and Huai'an; the rich belt of Huoshan Oasis encompasses Xinhefei ; The original oasis rich belt of Longdi Town encompassed Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jianhu County.
The oasis in Longdi Town disappeared and was occupied by the golden beast of the ocean. It was natural that the focus of the eastern theater would shift.
This issue was quickly passed. No one wanted to live next to the golden ocean beast.
Subsequent topics also included a series of personnel appointments and dismissals.
Zheng Shubian resigned as commander of the Eastern Theater Command, and Shen Cong was officially elected as honorary commander and general. Han Shoucheng was transferred to commander of the 12th Group Army, promoted to major general, etc.
…
After the meeting, Shen Cong left without saying a word of courtesy.
Before the meeting, he thought it was such an important decision, but it turned out to be a development issue, so he couldn't arouse any interest and didn't bother to chat with them.
He drove the four-legged dragon and quietly left Huai'an City.
First, go to Chuzhou, the area hardest hit by rat-men. Chuzhou is already preparing to establish a camp. Although the center of the war zone has moved westward, Chuzhou City can still rely on its favorable location to continue to collect resources from Jiangsu Province. Therefore, many companies and individuals who moved from the camps in Dafeng District came to Chuzhou City.
Shen Cong needed to collect the living pearls before these people turned their attention to the small oasis of yellow chestnut trees.
Living pearls play an important role for him and are strategic materials.
However, after arriving at the small oasis of Huanglishu, Shen Cong suddenly thought that maybe he should become more proficient in water and adapt to fighting in the water.
He has clairvoyance and can definitely check whether there are ferocious golden beasts in the barrier lake.
If not, there is no need to blow up the barrier lakes one by one. Live pearls can be collected by diving, leaving the barrier lakes behind. Live pearls may become a renewable resource in the future.
Shen Cong's consistent position is not to kill the goose to obtain the egg.
If it hadn't been for the purpose of obtaining the fire fragments, he would not have blown up one barrier lake after another, killing all the golden beasts, large and small.
These golden beasts are obviously weak and belong to the bottom of the food chain. It is better to keep them for meat than to kill them and throw them away.
Sustainable development is the right approach. (To be continued.)
