In Amagi, the price war was completely lost to the Iron Castle. Attacking the villages occupied by zombies to collect supplies is even more bloodless. The entire collection team has become a ration for the zombies and their own kind. This made Wang Qiang very frustrated.
But he didn't want to surrender to the Iron Castle yet, after all, it was the power he had built up single-handedly, and he was unwilling to be included in the Iron Castle like this. And their food will last for a while.
So, on the one hand, he began to organize people to go to the surrounding cities to find new survivor forces to sell saltpeter. On the other hand, they began to continue to reduce everyone's food rations, and lived on food and clothing, always hoping that things would turn around.
The Iron Castle will naturally have a corresponding response strategy to this, don't forget that there are wiretaps from the Steel Castle Military Intelligence Bureau in Wang Qiang's office, conference room and even bedroom. All their movements, the Iron Castle side is clear.
However, during this time, the main energy of the Iron Castle was not focused on dealing with Celestial City, for Chen Yuan, Celestial City was just an inconsequential small force.
During this time, their most important task was to restore agricultural production.
In late April, the ice and snow near Nenjiang County have melted, the earth has rejuvenated, and everything has recovered. According to the experience of the old farmers, this is the time of the year to start planting crops.
So the Ministry of Agriculture of the Steel Castle tested the bottom and let go of its hands and feet to do a big job.
After a winter of preparation, a large number of seeders, irrigation equipment began to start. Carefully selected and plump seeds are sent into the warm ground with the operation of the machine, and wait quietly for germination after absorbing sufficient moisture.
In less than a week, 600,000 acres of fertile black soil near the Iron Fort were planted with various crops.
Wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, millet, sesame, peanuts, sugar beet,???? K?A?N?S Book H?U·COM
Now no one is tired of farming. On the one hand, with the help of large-scale machinery and equipment, the efficiency has improved a lot, and it is also a lot easier. In addition, and more importantly, everyone is happy to see acres of fertile land being planted. It is as if what is planted is not an ordinary seed, but everyone's hope for the future.
Even those satellite experts who have never been in contact with agriculture at all have deliberately taken time off to watch everyone busy with spring ploughing. It's like attending a grand festival.
Said the satellite expert.
These satellite experts brought back from Jiuquan have already helped the Iron Castle establish a satellite control center during this time. The equipment is currently being tested, and it is believed that in some time, control of the satellite will be transferred to the Iron Castle.
Moreover, no one of those satellite experts has left anymore, they have stayed in Shenwu City, compared to Shenwu City, of course everyone prefers here. The food and accommodation here are good, and the environment is of course much better than the black tuyere, which looks bare due to excessive logging.
In addition, due to the rapid growth of the population of the Steel Castle, Chen Yuan also began to build a new place to live.
The new place of residence is also on the Nenjiang River, which is also an island in the middle of the river. The location is about 5 kilometers upstream of the Iron Fort, but the area is not as small as the Jiangxin Island where the Steel Castle is located, only about 1 square kilometer.
However, it is enough to live only for people, and it is estimated that the development will be enough for 2-30,000 people.
The so-called Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, Chen Yuan plans to wait for the completion of this place, and transfer part of the factories and population of the Steel Castle to live here, and the two cities can echo each other.
This new city is called the Fort of Hope. It heralds the beautiful vision of mankind hoping to eliminate zombies and restore a peaceful life.
In terms of troops, the training of the newly established battalions is being carried out in an orderly manner, and with those veterans who have joined the Wulian City side, the time for the new troops to form combat effectiveness will be much faster. The official numbers of each regiment also came down, and Zhang Zeshan, Zhang Zhen, Jiang Wenli, Du Ruhai, and Liu Changhe, who was in Xinjiang Province, were officially promoted to regiment commanders.
At the same time, the army is also continuing to clean up the surrounding villages and towns in a wider area. At least for now, they have expanded the security zone near the Iron Fort to a radius of 40 kilometers, and they are about to hit the vicinity of the county seat of Nenjiang County. But this is not the place for them to start for the time being. There are nearly 250,000 zombies in the county, which is prohibitive.
The various resource points in Xinjiang Province are also producing steadily. Although only two weeks have passed, through the efforts of Liu Changhe and his team, the population has increased to nearly 3,500 people. It's already on track.
So in the days that followed, Chen Yuan rarely lived a relatively peaceful life. You don't need to run around, you just need to stay in the steel castle honestly, watch the dealers in the surrounding farmland grow taller every day, accompany your parents to eat and watch TV, and go shopping and eating ice cream with Qin Mengyao. Occasionally, Qingmengxue would take the train to the Iron Castle for a few days and then go back. It's not a good day. In fact, this is the ideal life in his mind. You can be lazy all day long, and you don't have to worry about money.
However, he wanted to live a good life, but the zombies didn't seem ready to let him live.
************
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is late June.
On this day, Xu Kai hurriedly contacted Chen Yuan and reported to him: "Fort Chief, our reconnaissance satellite has discovered that there are large-scale zombies in the county seat of Nenjiang County that move regularly, and the number is estimated to be 100,000!" ”
Chen Yuan frowned and said, "It seems that the corpse general has appeared!" ”
He asked, "Is there anything special about the zombie horde?" Are there any signs of a move towards us? ”
"Not at the moment." Xu Kai said: "I'll go to your office later and explain to you the situation of the zombie group." ”
Chen Yuan said: "Don't use it in my office, I will inform everyone to gather in the conference room in half an hour, and I will listen to your report with you." ”
"Good!"
So, half an hour later, all the high-level leaders of the Self-Salvation Army gathered in the conference room. Xu Kai used the big screen in the conference room to introduce the situation of the zombie group to everyone.
"Here, here, here, the place marked on the picture is the zombie activity area that we observed with reconnaissance satellites, and at the same time, there were 10 zombie groups with a scale of 10,000 people active, which is too coincidental if it is just a coincidence. Therefore, we judge that this is most likely caused by the appearance of the corpse general. ”
Zhang Fatzi asked, "So what is the purpose of these zombies' transfer this time?" Why did they make a sudden move? ”
"According to the report of the half-corpse scouts who were lurking in the county seat of Nenjiang County in advance, it seems that they are arming and building the city wall!"
Zhang Zeshan asked: "So, is it possible that they are doing this against us?" ”
Xu Kai replied: "Very likely! Due to our actions in the past, now with the steel fortress as a radius, the nearby villages and towns within 55 kilometers have been cleared by us, leaving only a lonely county seat of Nenjiang County. Coupled with our recent small-scale harassment attack on the county seat of Nenjiang County, we suspect that it is possible that the corpse generals have discovered our existence, and this is done to prevent us from continuing to destroy their living forces! ”
Zhang Fatzi said: "Then it seems that it is more difficult to fight Nenjiang County!" ”
"It's not more difficult, it's simply not possible at the moment." Liu Jinlong said: "Our current strength in the northeast is only 4 field infantry regiments, 1 artillery regiment, 1 special operations brigade, 1 tank battalion and 1 fire support battalion, even if we add 1 garrison regiment, the full strength is only 5,600 people. Even if the enemy is 100,000 ordinary zombies, if it is not relying on favorable terrain to fight a defensive battle, it is estimated that it will be enough, let alone a zombie army controlled by corpse generals! ”
"That's right, I want everyone to know that the reason why the corpse generals are called corpse generals is because they can not only command a large number of zombie soldiers, but also because they have superb command and strategic awareness. At this point, they are no longer inferior to humans at all. And the corpse will be able to control a mutant, so we'll have to be careful! Chen Yuan ordered: "From today onwards, the patrols of the Steel Fort and the Hope Fort will be strengthened, and Hatu Village and all resource points will also be ready to evacuate at any time." In addition, about 5,000 people will be dispatched from various factories starting tomorrow to urgently train a group of militia reserves, who can train for half a day and produce for half a day. They can also go up to the walls to help us defend if necessary! ”
"Understood!"
