"I called you here today to ask about the current progress. Wang Le, tell me first. How's the repair of the paratroopers' vehicles?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang called for a meeting for the future arrangements. Other than Zhang Huai'an and Wang Le, Huang Quan and Huang Tingwei were present. Even Lu Xiaobu, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, was there on crutches.
"One has been repaired, and the remaining one is in the finishing touches. I believe it will be as good as new after the final adjustments. Now, let the tank team receive operating training. If there's a rush, it can be used on the battlefield tomorrow."
Wang Le felt much more relaxed after repairing the paratroopers' vehicles. His voice was powerful.
"Huang Tingwei, how's the progress on the trap plan you're in charge of? If there are any difficulties, you can tell me now."
Huang Tingwei looked terrible. He had always been very concerned about his image. His clothes were wrinkled and covered in salt. His face was unshaven, and his hair was unkempt. His body reeked of sweat. Who knew how long it had been since he took a shower.
Huang Tingwei habitually pushed down his glasses and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang with lifeless eyes.
"The maze trap has been set up, and we're starting to work. I don't know how many big fishes will come. Based on the size of the lake, the number of black fishes on the other side of the river, and the big fishes that have been hunted, I estimate that there will be around 120 to 150 big fishes. There might be two or none of those giant black fishes …"
"Wait … why do you say that?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was puzzled. Could Huang Tingwei be a prophet?
"The big black fishes are ferocious carnivores. The parents of the black fishes have the habit of protecting their young. Every breeding season, the male and female black fishes will guard their young together. They will only leave when the young are able to swim freely and have the ability to hunt. We don't know what happened to the big black fishes. Did they change from hunting alone to hunting in groups?
The giant black fish from last time should be an adult black fish. As for the black fish we killed these days, I think they should be young fish … "
Apart from Zhang Xiaoqiang, the others started to make a ruckus when they heard this. Some said that it was impossible, some said that it was ridiculous, and some were surprised in their hearts, but they didn't say anything. They just stared at Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Quiet … Continue …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang frowned. He was equally bewildered. If Huang Tingwei's setting was true, they might have to face two big black fish.
"At present, we have already set up the surveillance cameras. Except for the warning lines along the lake, no matter where the big fish comes ashore, we will be able to receive it immediately.
As for the progress of the construction, we ran into a problem. We didn't have enough building materials. Our original plan was to rebuild a steep slope and use cement to build a giant slide. The big fish would fall through the slide into a pit that was 15 meters deep, and we would use heavy firepower to kill them.
There are many loopholes in this plan. If we are not careful, there will be casualties. For example, if the big fish are stacked in the same position and the big fish jump out of the pit, the most likely scenario is that the big fish will bypass the pit and directly attack the ambushers.
Brother Cockroach has even better equipment, the giant electric chainsaw, we can place it at the entrance of the slide. That way, we will have to build a new wall to close in. The wall will have to enclose the entire side near the lake, and the amount of steel and building materials needed will be huge. "
As soon as Huang Tingwei finished, Wang Le also spoke.
"The repair of the paratrooper combat vehicle is about to be completed. The next step is to build a bridge that can pass through heavy vehicles. We plan to use steel plates and beams as the bridge. We don't have these things in the colony. Zhang Xiaoqiang, please think of a solution."
While Zhang Xiaoqiang was still thinking, Zhang Huai'an also joined in the fun.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, in the entire camp, only the repair factory is a big house. The rest are all tents. The materials that were originally used to build the warehouse have been diverted. Look, the paratrooper combat vehicle has been repaired. We can convert the factory into a warehouse …"
When Wang Le heard Zhang Huai'an's words, his face fell. He glared at Zhang Huai'an and wanted to punch him. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiaoqiang being here, he really would have done so.
"Zhang Huai'an, you old bastard. Others might be afraid of you, but I'm not. Are you trying to kill me after I've outlived my usefulness? If you dare touch my house, I'll fight you to the death."
Wang Le didn't care about his image. He rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Huai'an's collar, shouting. Zhang Huai'an couldn't break free. He could only frown and close his eyes, enduring Wang Le's saliva.
"Enough!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's shout extinguished the small flame in Wang Le's heart. Wang Le let go of his hand in embarrassment. Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang glaring at him, he quickly reached out and smoothed the wrinkles on Zhang Huai'an's collar.
"In the end, the above problems are all the same. We lack materials. As long as the materials are in place, everything else is not a problem. There is a lot of sand by the lake. As long as we can find a large amount of steel bars, we can solve the problem of making traps. The materials for building the bridge are easy to find. There are so many high-voltage steel frames outside. We can just dismantle a few of them. The problem is, where are we going to find them?"
As the decision-maker, Zhang Xiaoqiang peeled the silk from the cocoons and found the problem. Since the problem was clear, they had to find a way to solve it. As for how to solve the problem, it was the worry of the subordinates.
Hearing this, Huang Quan stood up and glanced at Zhang Huai'an and Wang Le, asking them to return to their seats. He turned to Zhang Xiaoqiang and said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, we don't need too many people by the lake now. I suggest that we transfer two-thirds of the people to look for materials outside. Those militias can't become elite soldiers only by training. They have to experience actual combat. After a few actual combat experiences, they will naturally become elite soldiers. I suggest that we don't equip them with guns. They can only use cold weapons. Eliminate the weak and keep the elites."
Zhang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a while and then nodded. Now the fields outside had just sprouted. Even if it was destroyed, it wouldn't be a pity. As long as the fortifications and traps were fixed before the seedlings grew, the camp would have no scruples.
"By the way, Zhang Xiaoqiang, we caught more than 20 women to leak information to the outside. How do you think we should solve it?"
As the intelligence officer, Huang Tingwei thought of the women he caught these days and asked Zhang Xiaoqiang for instructions. He was a little hesitant. These women all entered the camp with their children. If Zhang Xiaoqiang got angry, the innocent people might be harmed.
"What else can we do?
Kill them?
Forget it. Drive them out. When they leave, they can only wear their own clothes. Take back all the things given to them by the camp. "
Huang Tingwei nodded and sat down. He was still a little upset. In his opinion, the children of those women could only have a future if they stayed in the camp. Unfortunately, they were ruined by their muddle-headed mothers.
