Block 6.
The expansion in recent days has resulted in an extremely long defense line in the Sixth Block. In order to cope with the coming alien wave, the military government mobilized almost all the builders in the city to strengthen the wall surrounding the Sixth Block and add machine guns and turrets to the wall.
An order worth 1 million Yajing!
But not many people are happy about this. The coming alien wave makes everyone feel deep fear. Some people chose to flee, but most chose to stay.
If you ask why, it's all because of a wartime regulation issued by Chu Nan.
This order may seem unreasonable, but it is actually very fair.
Why are the soldiers of the Sixth District sacrificing their lives and blood to defend the property here for you, while you, the vested interests, fled outside at the critical moment? Either contribute, or contribute money, otherwise the NAC government will tacitly acknowledge that you have given up your ownership of the real estate in Block 6!
Although many businessmen tried to protest through parliament, they obviously did not understand the situation. Among the 10 congressmen, 5 had "honor chips" installed by Jiang Chen.
The bill passed without resistance and was supported by the vast majority of civilians.
These common people finally have their own homes in the Sixth District. Who would be willing to return to a wandering life? As for those who want to flee at the slightest sign of trouble. Those who want those who stay to guard their property for them will not get anyone's sympathy.
Ever since. Except for businessmen based in other places, basically no one chose to leave at this time.
As for what is the use of tying up irrelevant people in the base
This is of great use.
The armed forces currently stationed in the Sixth District mainly consist of three forces. One is naturally the third corps of the NAC military government, the second is the mercenaries, hunters and some armed scavengers, and the third is the private soldiers of the merchants!
Although all the nuclear materials in their hands were confiscated after the denuclearization of the Sixth Block, the Sixth Block has never restricted their weapons. Because when doing business in the wasteland, if the barrel of the gun is weak, it will be like a sheep with two legs. Even if you escape the claws of the alien species, you cannot escape the robbery of the same kind.
Leaving the merchants here means leaving their private soldiers here. These businessmen are much richer than the average mercenary group, and this wealth is reflected in the quality of the equipment. Although these businessmen and private soldiers do not have the Type 50 electromagnetic gun that is restricted for sale. But there are still a few Raider infantry vehicles and the like.
Civilians mobilized to join the army, and businessmen reluctantly sent their private soldiers to the front lines. Once the alien tide breaks out, it is impossible to open the city gate. Since you choose to stay, there is no option to escape. There is no point in hiding at this time. It's better to stand on the front line and earn some commissions.
The military factory is operating at full capacity, turning steel, aluminum and other materials brought from the Fish Bone Base into arms.
At this point, the industrial capacity of Block 6 came in handy.
When Jiang Chen disclosed some of the equipment and technology of the T-3 power armor in the military factory acquired from Zhao Chenwu to other small workshops, and then outsourced the production of parts. In just one month, 20 T-3s were produced.
This output is almost 10 times that of before.
Not only power armor, but also the Type 99 anti-tank gun and Screamer mortar. With the gradual improvement of the industrial system, these heavy weapons originally had low production capacity. They are all dragged out of the factory like running water.
When they saw the heavy weapons being pulled from the factory to the front line, and the boxes of bullets and artillery shells being pulled to the supply points, almost everyone was full of confidence in this war.
If the ones that come to harass you are always zombies
now. Three hundred meters outside the north gate of Block 6, soldiers from the First Corps built a simple defense line here using mobile bunkers and sandbags. Use your machine gun to shoot the approaching zombies. The wall behind them is being reinforced and renovated, and their mission is to stay here. Stop the tide of aliens from advancing to the wall until the transformation is complete.
From time to time, screams came from behind them, which was the tail sound of the electromagnetic shells fired by the Screamer mortars.
Three artillery shells rose into the air and slammed into the corpse group's position. The flying shrapnel instantly tore apart the nearby zombies, and their intestines and pieces of meat were scattered on the ground.
At this time, a behemoth was suddenly created in the dust of the explosion. It waved the billboard in its hand and rushed towards the defense line with load-bearing steps.
"Discover Roshan."
While squatting behind the machine gun position and pressing the trigger tightly, a soldier shouted loudly into the headset.
"receive."
He answered calmly, accompanied by the explosion of the cannon.
The orange-yellow shells screamed past, shattering Roshan's head.
"Good shot!" the soldier yelled back, reloading the gun into the receiver. Seeing a break in the offensive, the scavengers who had been waiting for a long time rushed to Roshan's body with a knife and recovered the sub-crystal from the back of his neck. After getting Yajing, they can keep 40% as their reward.
Standing on the sentry tower, Zhao Gang observed all this with a telescope.
Contrary to the optimistic public opinion, as the commander of the Third Corps, he did not have a relaxed expression on his face at this moment.
Although after many days of reinforcements, the strength of the Third Corps has expanded to 4,000, which is enough to equal the combined number of the First and Second Corps, this is still not enough to bring him too much optimism.
As a former survivor of Qingpu, he had seen with his own eyes the horror of the alien wave.
At that time, the alien species even overwhelmed the soldiers of the United World Organization and forced them to abandon Wanghai City. The survivors in Block 6 relied on a large amount of AC equipment left over from the World Alliance to hold on to this survivor base.
After the last civil war, the only remaining equipment was the Prowler tank. Now that the tank has been dispatched to the First Corps, the Sixth District can only rely on those self-produced heavy weapons.
"Report, Executive Officer Chu Nan sent me to inform you to attend the meeting."
"I know." Zhao Gang nodded.
The soldier made a military salute and stood aside.
After taking a final look at the front line with the telescope, Zhao Gang stuffed the telescope back into his pocket and turned to leave.
Arriving at the holographic conference room, Zhao Gang nodded and said hello to Chu Nan, then sat in his seat.
The meeting began with Marshal Jiang Chen, staff officer Han Junhua, three regiment leaders, Sixth Block Executive Officer Chu Nan, Logistics Minister Wang Qing, and Interior Minister Lu Huasheng. Basically all the top leaders of the NAC government are here.
Floating on the conference table was a holographic map of Wanghai City. Seeing the deployment of troops on the map, Zhao Gang roughly guessed the purpose of the meeting.
First, Wang Qing explained the situation of military supplies in the base, and then Lu Huasheng reported on the reserve mobilization situation.
Finally, the battle plan was matured by the staff. Because this battle plan had been discussed with the marshal in advance, all Jiang Chen had to do at the meeting was just to nod.
But after hearing the battle plan, Chu Nan frowned slightly and couldn't help but stand up and raised objections.
"I have an objection. Prowler tanks, 8 Hunter Tiger IIs, and 15 Raider infantry vehicles are all deployed in the First Corps? Although the Sixth Block is mainly defensive, it does not mean that there is no need for any armor protection here. "
Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Gang.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Gang nodded solemnly.
"I agree with Chu Nan's point of view. Without the cover of armored forces, it means that once the city gate is lost, we will not have the ability to recapture the city gate. We can only completely abandon the lost defense line and retreat. To be prepared, we need to deploy at least 4 A Jagdtiger II."
"As long as we don't lose control, it will be fine." Han Junhua said calmly.
"Of course, I know it's best not to make a single mistake, but—"
"Tanks are the most efficient option to defend the city. The First Corps, equipped with all armor, will capture Jiashi in the shortest possible time and then turn around and return to defense." Han Junhua said in an unquestionable tone.
A very risky decision.
If there is a flaw in the Sixth Block defense line, if the First Corps is in a stalemate in its battle with the mutants,
Cheng Weiguo, the commander of the First Corps, did not speak, but gave Zhao Gang a helpless and apologetic look. Zhao Gang also did not speak, but expressed his understanding of his colleagues' helplessness with his eyes.
Taking a deep breath and staring at Han Junhua's face, Chu Nan slowly sat back down.
"I hope you make the right decision. This involves 80,000 lives."
Han Junhua nodded slightly, expressing understanding.
After the meeting ends, the hologram goes off.
Wang Qing, Lu Huasheng and Wang Zhaowu stood up and left. When only two people were left in the conference room, Jiang Chen sighed slowly.
“You have to learn the art of saying no.”
"There is only execution of orders, there is no art of refusal."
"I'm just worried about my subordinates' interpersonal relationships." Jiang Chen said helplessly.
But Han Junhua didn't care, and just said lightly: "It doesn't matter, I will be the bad guy."
"Are you M?". Looking at that expressionless face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"What is M?" Han Junhua frowned slightly, "I just made the best choice. Besides, you told me that when everything is over, I will go to the future."
"What if your problem can be solved without going to the future?" Jiang Chen asked with interest.
"Let's wait until then."
Han Junhua didn't seem to want to continue discussing this issue. He picked up his document from the table and walked out of the conference room door. (.)
