Gao Feng had probably escaped with his life because of Zhang Xiaoqiang's change of heart. Huang Quan naturally would not object, but he still had some doubts about the size of the Yangtze River Fleet. Generally speaking, three thousand people were too many, and with the addition of one thousand and five hundred marines and the garrison troops of the five bases, it had already become too big to be dealt with. When the time came, they would have to use their swords.
"Then should Zhang Xiaoqiang make a trip to the Yangtze River Fleet's encampment to let those soldiers know who they are? When the time comes, if Zhang Xiaoqiang gives the order to disarm, they won't be as resistant as they are now, right?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "I have other plans for the Yangtze River Fleet.
Since we have decided to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Yangtze River Fleet, we can't continue disarming them. Our next step is to open up the waterway from Hubei to Sichuan. When the time comes, we will establish the Yangtze River Fleet upstream. Gao Feng will be the commander of the First Fleet, and Liu Feng will be the commander of the Second Fleet. Let him lead a portion of the armed police veterans to divide the army into half. This way, they will have a balance … "
Huang Quan's eyes lit up. Zhang Xiaoqiang's idea was not bad. In the future, the development of Sichuan would require a large number of ships and crew. Establishing the Yangtze River Fleet upstream was indeed a good move. Not only would it divide the strength of the Yangtze River Fleet, but it would also not give Gao Feng the opportunity to interfere upstream. At the same time, it would solve the problem of the Second Division. The Second Division had wanted to keep its organization, and now that they had established the Second Fleet, it was equivalent to completely merging the essence of the Second Division. Moreover, with Liu Feng taking charge, the Second Division's organization would be preserved, and it could be said that everyone was happy.
"Then … we can prepare to enter Sichuan in advance …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang finally concluded. Suddenly, Zhuo Mingyue's perfect face flashed through his mind. His heart suddenly twitched. He remembered that beautiful figure standing behind the mountain when he left … Gao Feng was in a terrible mood.
He had originally been preparing for Zhang Xiaoqiang's inspection, wanting to completely display their great development during this period of time in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang. At the same time, he wanted to express his absolute loyalty to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Unexpectedly, he fell short at the last moment, causing him to become the scapegoat. Out of the tens of thousands of troops in the Hubei region, only his subordinates had defected. Not to mention the defection, they had also taken the emergency development supplies that had been stored there. Moreover, it was at the time when Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to the base. This had pushed him to the brink of despair. Even so, he had never thought of leading the fleet away. Both Huang Quan and Zhang Xiaoqiang had miscalculated something. Although the only ace pilot of the base's helicopter squadron was still lying in the hospital in a cast, and the other pilots could only circle around in the sky at most, the Yangtze River Fleet did not know this. That day, when New Era had traveled along the river, the momentum of all communications had been cut off was an eternal nightmare for the Yangtze River Fleet. They did not have anti-aircraft missiles, and would not be able to fight back against the long-range attacks of the helicopters.
"I don't care where they have escaped to, you have to find them for me. If you can't find them, Zhang Xiaoqiang will not forgive me, and I will not forgive you either. When that time comes, we will each carry a large rock and jump into the river together …" This was Gao Feng's declaration to his subordinates.
This was Gao Feng's declaration to his subordinates. The 1st and 2nd Marine Battalions were all mobilized, and all the bases were surrounded by frigates. Regardless of whether there was a possibility of a rebellion, they were all disarmed and kept in the camp. All communications were controlled, and the radio operator who had sent out the disarmament list had been detained. All the ammunition storage points were also under strict control. This time, Gao Feng was going crazy. Whether or not he could get a lighter punishment would depend on whether or not he could skin all the traitors alive.
After Gao Feng announced his declaration to the entire Changjiang Fleet, he walked out of the communication room with a gloomy face. Because he was walking too fast, he didn't see where he was stepping and tripped over the threshold. It was supposed to be embarrassing, but he couldn't care less about it. Ignoring the dust on his military uniform, he rushed into the camp. Compared to the tension and solemnity of the entire Changjiang Fleet, this camp was full of all kinds of noise. Boys and girls dressed in different costumes were playing crazily. Some were squatting together and gambling on cigarettes. Some were hiding in the corner and talking about love. Compared to the tension and solemnity of the entire Changjiang Fleet, this camp was full of all kinds of noise. Boys and girls dressed in different costumes were playing crazily. Some were squatting together and gambling on cigarettes. Some were hiding in the corner and talking about love.
In the east, there were a few girls who were like flowers and jade brushing their sleeves, pointing at each other's noses and cursing. The kind of curses that even middle-aged aunties would be embarrassed to curse were shot out from the mouths of these girls like machine guns. After a few minutes of cursing, they didn't even need to take a breath. In the west, a few boys with fluffy beards were wrestling with each other, and the girl they were fighting for was standing by the side and cheering them on. Her big watery eyes were secretly making eyes at another handsome and cold boy, and that boy was pursing his lips and staring at one of the boys who was fighting with a complicated expression.
Seeing this scene, the veins on Gao Feng's forehead popped out. In his heart, there was only one word that could describe this campsite: foul atmosphere. As the highest ranking officer of the fleet, the appearance of Gao Feng did not inspire any reverence from these young men and women in the modified military uniforms. As he walked forward, there would be crazy men and women knocking into him from time to time. Fortunately, they were all dispersed by his guards. Otherwise, by the time he found Ai Qingshan, a few of his bones might have been broken.
When he found Ai Qingshan, Ai Qingshan was being scolded by his younger sister, Ai Xueqi. His youngest sister, Xuexue, was standing at the side, biting her finger and looking at her brother and sister. Ai Qingshan did not dare to lose his temper, so he could only look around angrily, trying to find someone to vent his anger on. When he saw Gao Feng, who had a gloomy face and was covered in dust, his eyes immediately lit up. He turned to Ai Xueqi and said, "Alright, I know. The commander is here, and he must be looking for me. Hurry up and send Xuexue away, or else if that guy sees her, he will definitely send her away again …"
After saying that, Ai Qingshan rushed towards Gao Feng, causing Ai Xueqi who was behind him to stomp her feet in anger. However, she did not dare to neglect Ai Qingshan's last words, so she quickly grabbed Xuexue's little hand and ran away. The D2 zombie that was squatting on the ground like a fake mountain slowly stood up, and chased after the two of them. The tall D2 zombie that was walking in the midst of a group of beautiful girls was actually like a little sheep, it was very surprising.
"Aiya, this is the first time the commander has come to my territory. Didn't you say that this is the market?
Are you going to buy vegetables today? "
Ai Qingshan was used to speaking in a strange tone, as long as he did not ask for Gao Feng's help, he would not expect anything good to come out of his mouth. However, Gao Feng did not get angry at him today, he just walked to his side with a gloomy expression and signaled for him to follow. He then brought Ai Qingshan to the most remote corner of the camp. Ai Qingshan did not understand, after following the Yangtze River fleet for so long, it was the first time he saw such an expression on Gao Feng's face.
"Ai Qingshan, I have always been too lazy to care about you. I believe that since you can survive in the apocalypse with such a group of children, you should be able to take care of yourself. Therefore, I do not have any requirements for you to follow the rules. However, in the future, you should either learn to control yourself and your subordinates, or bring them out of the fleet, or go to school, or go to work …"
Gao Feng's words were very impolite, almost to the point of being strict. Ai Qingshan looked at Gao Feng in surprise, and asked with his mouth wide open, "Boss, you finally can't stand my unconventional ways, and want to chase us away?"
Gao Feng smiled bitterly, he let out a long sigh and shook his head.
"Among the three marine units, your unit is the most powerful. Among the five thousand soldiers in the fleet, you are the most powerful. Even if you have a little problem, I will not let others take you away. However, it will be different in the future. Who knows when I will become a prisoner, the best outcome would be to become a member of the political department. The new commander of the fleet will not be as easy to talk to as me …"
Ai Qingshan did not know about the defection of the Jiujiang branch base. Hearing this, he frowned and his face changed from a mischievous expression to a fierce one. He said in a deep voice, "Is it that Zhang Xiaoqiang who fell from the sky?
Could it be that he wants to get rid of me? "
When Gao Feng saw the change in Ai Qingshan's expression, he knew that it was bad. Although Ai Qingshan was unreliable, he was a good person. Although he was cruel to outsiders, he was willing to repay those who had helped him. Gao Feng had always been tolerant towards the 3rd Marine Brigade, and he had always taken care of them. Whether it was supplies or supplies, he had never lacked them. Even the female soldiers' underwear and sanitary pads were replenished by the logistics department. The 3rd Brigade also knew that Gao Feng was good to them. Perhaps the ordinary soldiers would think that it was natural, but in order to feed three people, Ai Qingshan was grateful to Gao Feng for his kindness. Therefore, when Gao Feng was in trouble, he would not sit by and watch.
"Shut up, you're not allowed to speak like that in the future, Brother Cockroach is not someone you can judge, he brought a few hundred people, including the elderly, women and children, and was able to charge into a camp guarded by a few thousand elite soldiers, causing everyone to fear him. When millions of zombies surrounded the city, he brought the majority of the survivors to kill their way out, and fought for a few hundred li, protecting tens of thousands of survivors to cross the Yangtze River. Each and every battle he fought was soul-stirring, it was tragic and tragic, it is something you can never imagine, compared to Brother Cockroach's battle, even the previous battle cannot compare …."
Gao Feng did not allow Ai Qingshan to look down on Zhang Xiaoqiang. He could tolerate Ai Qingshan's disrespect towards him, but he could not tolerate Ai Qingshan slandering Zhang Xiaoqiang. It must be known that he was just a survivor who suffered in the base, and without any foundation, he was able to become a fleet commander. It was an opportunity given to him by Zhang Xiaoqiang, and he was also a person who repaid kindness.
Ai Qingshan kept quiet, he could hear the sincerity in Gao Feng's words. Although he felt disdain in his heart, he respected Gao Feng's decision. He was curious as to why Gao Feng was removed from his position, and he was also curious as to what kind of person Zhang Xiaoqiang was, to be able to let Gao Feng be removed from his position without resentment. Ai Qingshan had long heard of Zhang Xiaoqiang's achievements, starting from the chicken farm, recovering the hot spring base with 11 people, to recovering a small town with 30 people, charging into a base with 50 people, and finally crossing the river under the siege of millions of zombies. Each and every one of his experiences were described vividly by the people involved, and the more people who described it, the more discrepancies there would be. This caused the people who came later to question it. However, after hearing Gao Feng's words, perhaps Zhang Xiaoqiang was really strong?
