The earth-shattering battle ended after the last gunshot. The armored group no longer had the unparalleled ferocious momentum from before. They all raised their heads and turned around, crushing the layers of broken bones and corpses as they headed towards the logistics department that was already waiting in the distance. The creaking tracks were covered in layers of black meat scraps and internal organs, emitting a pungent stench. However, the soldiers passing by the tanks seemed to have smelled the most delicious fragrance and did not avoid it at all. All of them were beaming with joy.
The battle that had lasted for more than a month had finally ended, and Hohhot was finally in their hands. They had recovered quite a few cities, with Baotou and Ordos being the biggest cities, but a real provincial capital was different. Not only had they opened up a path to the heart of Inner Mongolia, it had also paved the way for the next step of development for the Yinmeng military. Both Zhao Jun and Shi Yuanye had long been drooling over the equipment of the Russian Far East Military. Russia had 3,900 main battle tanks, 6,400 armored vehicles, 3,000 cannons, 54 SS-21 tactical missile launchers, 85 combat helicopters, and an unknown number of surface-to-air tactical missiles and nuclear missile silos.
In fact, Shi Yuanye did not agree with Zhang Xiaoqiang's idea of conquering Beijing. As far as China was concerned, the Beijing military's strength and material reserves were the strongest. No other military in China could compare to it, not to mention the many secret equipment that only existed in legends. However, Beijing was the most densely populated area in China, and the surrounding population was not bad either, making it the most dangerous place with zombies. Even if they could conquer it, they would have to use up a lot of resources and ammunition, even if they had the Corrosion Source. Once the Corrosion Source was used, it had to be retracted, or else it would be exposed to the air for too long, and it would turn into turbid water.
Conquering the Far East Military was different. Russia's economic center was in Europe, and other than a few border cities that had prospered due to China's development, the rest of the cities were lifeless. The closer they were to Siberia, the emptier the cities were. Even the provincial capitals did not have more than 100,000 people, and Russia's equipment was indeed much better than China's. The tanks and armored vehicles of any military region could match up to the entire China army, and they had already surpassed China by decades in terms of mechanization. There were not many zombies along the way, which made it the most delicious target for them.
The reason why Shi Yuanye had this idea was because the Yinmeng military region's foundation was too weak. The raw materials here were abundant, but they did not have as much variety as the mainland, and there were not many military equipment either. The Yinmeng military region was better than Hubei in every aspect, except for the military system. This was because they did not have the necessary equipment and sufficient raw materials. Now, Hubei could not only produce bullets, but also artillery shells, while Yinmeng could barely produce bullets.
Just as Ishihara was deep in thought, Zhao Jun walked in with a gloomy face. He looked at Ishihara, who was still looking at the map even though he had won, and let out a long sigh. Ishihara looked up at Zhao Jun, but didn't say anything. He pointed from Hohhot along the provincial highway to Heilongjiang in the northeast. When he reached the border of Heilongjiang, his finger stopped at a Russian city near the Chinese border.
Zhao Jun and Shi Yuanye had been partners for a long time. How could he not know what Shi Yuanye was thinking?
He had already sketched out the route Shi Yuanye had drawn in his mind countless times. Unlike Shi Yuanye's eyes on the Russian military equipment, what he had his eyes on was the humiliation of his country's fall. Millions of square kilometers of land had been taken away by the enemy, and it had always been a pain in his heart. Now that there was a chance, he would definitely take it back, but before that, he had to worry about the news from Hubei.
"Sigh!"
Zhao Jun raised his head and let out a long sigh. Shi Yuanye remained silent and continued to stare at the map. Seeing that Shi Yuanye did not respond, Zhao Jun sighed even louder to indicate his existence. After a while, Shi Yuanye finally reacted. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jun, shook his head, and sat back in his seat. He picked up his teacup and said, "When there is no victory, you jump up and down anxiously, wishing that you could rush to the front line and do it yourself. Now that you have won, you're sighing here. Is it because you haven't been home these days that your sister-in-law scolded you?"
"How dare she?"
Zhao Jun's expression changed like a cat whose tail had been guessed. Such a big reaction made Shi Yuanye smile. Zhao Jun had found a beautiful girl, but he did not expect to put a shackle on himself. That girl was born in the 90s, much younger than him. It was fine at first, but after a few days with him, she awakened all kinds of bad habits from before the doomsday. Not to mention this and that, she had to accompany her every day, which gave Zhao Jun a headache. She even gossiped about Zhao Jun's work, and she could not wait to force Zhao Jun to admit that the whole of Yin Meng was hers. Zhao Jun had put up with this girl again and again, and in the end, he could not take it anymore and hid away.
"What the hell is going on?
Don't talk about anything other than military affairs. I'm too lazy to get involved in your private life, but you'd better control your own woman. I don't want Zhang Xiaoqiang to deal with you because of your privacy … "Shi Yuanye warned Zhao Jun, which made Zhao Jun's face fall. He said very carefully," It's not about her. Anyway, my patience with her has reached its limit. If she still doesn't know how to control herself, I'd rather break up with her. A beautiful woman is not necessarily suitable for marriage, and a married woman does not have to be beautiful. This is the truth … "
"What the hell is going on?
I still have to go to the front line to evaluate the battlefield report … "Shi Yuanye was a little impatient. He hated to be delayed for so long because of a woman. Shi Yuanye's impatience finally made Zhao Jun behave. He said with a wry smile," It's Zhang Xiaoqiang. He gave me big trouble again … "
"Zhang Xiaoqiang?
He went back to Hubei? "
Shi Yuanye slammed the teacup on the coffee table. He couldn't do it anymore. He stood up and looked at Zhao Jun seriously. If he could get news from Zhang Xiaoqiang, he would first suggest to postpone the attack on Beijing and open up the route from Inner Mongolia to the Far East first.
"No, he's holed up in Japan.
I don't know the specific location, but there was a major earthquake above 12 in Japan. Almost half of Japan was destroyed. Not to mention humans, even zombies couldn't survive there. So we have to get Zhang Xiaoqiang back before the situation gets worse … "It was Shi Yuanye's first time to hear this news. He immediately frowned and thought quickly. They knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang had disappeared, but they didn't expect him to show up in Japan. That place was not a good place. Not to mention that they were not familiar with the people and the place, if Zhang Xiaoqiang was an extreme racist, maybe all the survivors in Japan would be his enemy.
"According to the information sent to us by the Nuwa computer, Zhang Xiaoqiang is not the only one in Japan. England, the United States, Genesis, New Era, Russia, and Japan are all mixed in. Our airships will be targets if we go there. So how to support them is a problem. Hubei wants us to build a unified command platform with them and support Zhang Xiaoqiang together. They want us to report to them, coordinate the command, and communicate information in a timely and consistent manner …"
"What's there to worry about?
Isn't this good?
As long as they can break through the technical barriers and work together with our data, not only will they be able to complete the mission better, but they will also be able to form a closer cooperative relationship. As long as … "Shi Yuanye didn't understand what Zhao Jun meant. In the past, even if they belonged to different military regions, it was not uncommon for them to cooperate with each other in battle.
"Then who has the final say?
If Zhang Xiaoqiang is here, I have nothing to say. I'll fight wherever Zhang Xiaoqiang says. But why should Huang Quan and the others be superior to us?
Just the Battle of Wuhan alone had almost destroyed their lair. There was only one large city left, and it was taken advantage of when all the zombies were dead. Now, they still have the title of the First Revival Army, and the entire First Army has less than 30,000 people. But what about us? "Roland thought to himself.
The Third Army has 100,000 people, not including the artillery, logistics, and logistics. How can we be convinced?
We're clearly two armies … "
Shi Yuanye finally understood why Zhao Jun was unhappy. The only link between Yin Meng and Hubei was Zhang Xiaoqiang. So with Zhang Xiaoqiang around, no matter what kind of mission it was, they would not object. But Zhang Xiaoqiang had already gone to Japan and received the news that the Renaissance Army had established a joint command center. He was worried that Yin Meng would be pushed aside, just like how they pushed Lu Xiaobu. Most importantly, Yin Meng's development potential and sphere of influence was greater than Hubei's, but the orthodox center was located in Hubei, which made it difficult for them to turn around.
"Why are you thinking so much? Do you really think Yin Meng is your foundation?
Everything here was built by Zhang Xiaoqiang. The original intention of building this place was not for the exclusive use of Yin Meng, but for the revival of China, to save all the survivors in China. Don't be so narrow-minded. Don't be regional or exclusionary, or else Zhang Xiaoqiang will not forgive you … "Fortunately, Zhao Jun was still quite afraid of Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Fortunately, Zhao Jun was still rather afraid of Zhang Xiao Qiang, and with Shi Yuan Ye's warning, he had calmed down. In truth, he did not have any thoughts of independence, he just hated the Hubei people coming over to pick the fruits of their labor. His faction was obviously the strongest amongst all of Zhang Xiao Qiang's subordinates, and yet he had to settle for second place, being suppressed by the Hubei army. This caused the highest commander of the Yin Meng Army to lose face, and even if it was Zhang Xiao Qiang's decision, he did not feel comfortable about it.
"Then what should we do?
Why don't we send a small helicopter over first? As long as Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't create a large force like before, it's possible that we don't use transport airships. "Zhao Jun finally gave in. Shi Yuanye never fought a battle without preparation. When Zhao Jun said this, he nodded in relief and started to take stock of the equipment they had." We have three Funeral Helicopters, two Z-9 attack helicopters, and six Z-10 attack helicopters. In addition, we can send a small airship and two Little Antelope small helicopters. This way, at least we have the ability to protect ourselves. As for Hubei's order, we will ignore it for now. We will look for it ourselves first, and if we can't find it, we will think of other ways … "
