Zhang Xiaoqiang did not stay at Mu Peipei's residence that night. He chatted with her for a while. After a sumptuous dinner, he walked out of the small courtyard. It was still Zhao Xiaobo who sent him off. Judging from Zhao Xiaobo's sincere smile, she was quite satisfied with Zhang Xiaoqiang's performance. Mu Peipei, who had a child, had already substituted herself into the role of Zhang Xiaoqiang's woman. Although she did not necessarily like him sincerely, she began to have a touch of family affection. At least the two of them had some tacit understanding when they were together.
For the whole afternoon, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Mu Peipei were taking care of the child tacitly. Mu Peipei did not agree with Zhang Xiaoqiang's idea of expecting the child to live an ordinary life, but she agreed with Zhang Xiaoqiang's idea of not wanting the child to fight and bleed. When she thought of the child being injured, she felt her heart twitch. Therefore, although she was not enthusiastic towards Zhang Xiaoqiang, she was not cold either.
"Minnie only has the child in her eyes. She will accept you after a period of time. She is just not familiar with you now. After all, you have not appeared for a year … Also, Minnie has changed a lot. She has not found another woman. It is not easy for her …"
Zhao Xiaobo sent Zhang Xiaoqiang to the foot of the mountain. After saying these words to Zhang Xiaoqiang, he turned around and went up. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Zhao Xiaobo's back and pondered. The meaning of Zhao Xiaobo's words was that Mu Peipei did not dislike him personally. In other words, because of the child, Mu Peipei began to learn to treat him as a man who could be relied on, as long as he could guarantee everything the child needed in the future.
Thinking of the trace of unwillingness in Zhao Xiaobo's eyes, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly thought of the vinegar jar around Huang Quan. At least he was much better than Huang Quan. Even the lily who did not like men was settled by him. However, Huang Quan could not even settle Zhao Xiaobo and Chen Ye. He really did not know what would happen to them …
When Zhao Xiaobo said goodbye and was about to go home, he suddenly froze. There were too many things on his mind today. He had to accompany the child in the afternoon. Until now, he still did not know where his home was.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang was wondering if he should ask someone, two people suddenly walked out from the shadows in front of him. When they came closer, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw clearly that it was Huang Tingwei and an unfamiliar first lieutenant. Huang Tingwei did not have the chance to talk too much with Zhang Xiaoqiang. When he came in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang, he wanted to greet Zhang Xiaoqiang. However, he immediately thought of his mission and said in a low voice, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, the person you brought back has woken up …" The sky gradually darkened, and the base began to light up the street lights.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Huang Tingwei walked together to the interrogation department of the hot spring base. The first lieutenant followed them from afar. To be honest, Huang Tingwei was in a bad mood. Yuri was seriously injured. As the only ace pilot under him, Yuri's injury had caused him to lose almost 80% of the base's air combat capability. The remaining pilots were all rookies. It was better to hope that pigs could climb trees than to hope that they could fight. Also, with the crash of the Nightingale helicopter, they had already lost one helicopter. Now that Yuri's helicopter was also destroyed, his flight squadron could not even take out their aircraft to support the base. The other helicopters were all damaged and were undergoing repairs. This made it very difficult for him as the commander of the air combat department.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, I heard that you still have a few helicopters in Vladivostok. Can you contact them and ask them to support the Hubei base …"
Huang Tingwei chatted for a while and then shifted the topic to the Russian helicopter. He first analyzed the speculation that the Hubei base might be retaliated by the New Era Air Force to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Then, he talked about the difficulties of the internal flight squadron of the base. Finally, he persuaded Zhang Xiaoqiang to transfer back the air force that was previously called Russian Island and was now called Longhua Island.
Zhang Xiaoqiang thought about Huang Tingwei's proposal for less than three seconds before shaking his head and rejecting it.
"If I didn't guess wrong, the New Era's Funeral Helicopters in the Asia Military Region were almost wiped out. We don't have to worry about them transferring air force to attack us for a while. The New Era's combat scope is the entire world, and the Asia region is just a part of their strategic plan. Now, they are having a hard time in the Asia region. As far as I know, they used to have 13 regular corps and at least 3 corps that were in the process of being formed. Due to various reasons, they lost 6 corps, and the 3 corps that were formed also disappeared. The headquarters of the Asia Military Region, Australia, also had an accident. They won't be able to find us for at least 3 months to half a year …"
There were some things that Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that Huang Tingwei didn't know. At least, he didn't know that the New Era's Asia Military Region had lost so many troops. If a force lost one-third of its military strength, it would be considered a serious injury. If it lost half of its military strength, then it was only a hair's breadth away from collapse. If there were still foreign enemies attacking, there would be no room for development other than suffering. However, the New Era was different. The Asia Military Region was not a single part. They had enough potential and resources to support Asia. Even if the New Era's troops in the Asia Military Region were all destroyed, they could still form more troops in the shortest time.
"Then, what's Zhang Xiaoqiang's plan for Vladivostok?
Zhang Xiaoqiang is a lucky man. Just one trip out, and he created a base that is ten times bigger than Hubei. Now, within China, no one can compare to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Moreover, Zhang Xiaoqiang has taken care of Sichuan. As long as the Yangtze River Fleet can form an upstream branch fleet, we might be able to recover Sichuan without shedding a single drop of blood. "
At this time, the officer behind them saw that they were talking, so he moved further away and stopped the passersby from approaching. Zhang Xiaoqiang and Huang Tingwei strolled along the green stone road in the base. The interrogation room was located in the most remote corner of the base, and it would take a long time to reach there. The night sky had completely enveloped the land. The two of them slowly walked towards the interrogation room. The roadside beside them was planted with various kinds of plants, and the strange mutated plants decorated the entire base like a different world. Walking among the plants and enjoying the rare scenery before the apocalypse, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not help but relax. He also answered some of Huang Tingwei's questions about future strategies. "Vladivostok was just a coincidence, and I didn't think too much about it. I only came back from the grasslands to see my son.
I didn't think too much about it. The reason I came back from the grasslands was just to see my son. Until now, I've left Meow Meow there. I don't even know how I'm going to take care of it. And Sichuan, I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to achieve my goal of returning home step by step. Everything else was just along the way. Since you asked, can you help me analyze what I should do with Vladivostok in the future? "
Huang Tingwei stopped in his tracks and looked at the dim street lights, pondering over the information Zhang Xiaoqiang had given him. In the Grassland Army, the chief of staff was Shi Yuanya, but in Hubei, Huang Tingwei held the position of chief of staff. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't mind Huang Tingwei stopping in his tracks. He stood on the spot with his hands behind his back and looked at the mutated tree in front of him. The branches of the mutated tree were like the curly hair of fashionable women in his previous world. There were no leaves on the curled branches, only many small purplish-red flowers growing densely on the branches. He didn't feel it when he was walking, but when he stood still, he could smell the faint fragrance, clearing his mind.
All of a sudden, Zhang Xiaoqiang summed up his feelings after returning to Hubei. From the moment he stepped into the cockroach base, he felt relaxed. Whether it was visiting Mu Peipei and his son, or admiring the various mutated plants here, he could always immerse himself in peace, as if everything was so natural and harmonious. Of course, if Yang Ke-er and Erlang Shen were fine, he believed that he would feel happy from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang understood that no matter how mighty he was outside, no matter how many subordinates obeyed his orders, this was still not his home. Only at home could he truly relax and be at ease.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, have you ever thought about what it would be like if we won in the future?"
Huang Tingwei took out a cigarette and passed it to Zhang Xiao Qiang. The two of them stood amidst the fragrance of the flowers and thought about the future. Zhang Xiao Qiang lit up the cigarette and took a deep puff, gazing at the starry sky. After 3 to 5 seconds, he laughed bitterly and shook his head: "I've really never thought about it. Actually, I've always been struggling. In the past, I was struggling alone, and then I was struggling with a group of people. Only now did our foundation stabilize. I thought that we wouldn't have to struggle like before, but now, a new era has popped up. The enemies are getting stronger and stronger. For every step we take, the enemies take two steps forward.
When we take a step forward, the enemy takes two steps forward. I really don't know if we will become their stepping stones in the future. "Hearing this, Huang Tingwei was surprised. If Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't have a long-term and firm goal, how did he get to where he was?
However, this wasn't something he could guess. No matter what, Zhang Xiaoqiang had achieved something that he couldn't achieve in a few lifetimes. And all of this happened in less than two years. Looking at how Zhang Xiaoqiang went all over China, no matter where Zhang Xiaoqiang was, he could always set off a storm, especially on the grasslands. The two of them, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Meow, had established a foundation that was ten times bigger than Hubei. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
