On the highway between the town of Marin and Samarra, which also began to be reopened to traffic after the end of the fighting in Samarra.

However, as the Islamic State and the Iraqi government have completely cut off contacts, all communications between the east and the west have also been cut off.

So once the highway gets to Samarra, it can't go any further west.

Islamic State forces have piled up numerous roadblocks on the highway between Samarra and Tikrit, and have blown up a section of the road and a high-speed bridge across the Tigris River.

This was after the defeat in the Samarra War, in order to prevent the Marin Division from taking the opportunity to regain the north, the communication was cut off.

Because between Samarra and Tikrit, there is no good passage except this road, and there is desert on both sides, and only on the Tigris River does there exist some villages, and the traffic between these villages is also very average.

It was difficult for the large forces to deploy, and the roads were uneven, so it was impossible to march quickly, and these villages were all under the eyes of the Islamic State forces.

If the troops from the east set out towards Tikrit, it would not have been possible to avoid these villages, but the Islamic State forces would have received relevant information as soon as possible.

However, the Islamic State is a little too cautious, because the Marin division has no intention of taking the initiative to attack Tikrit, Saddam's former hometown.

Although Tikrit is a very developed city, it is also a very good economic city.

But after the Islamic State was scraped, it was not taken seriously by Cai Ruichen.

Maybe the oil in Tikrit has a little value, but for the time being, there is no need to extend to that place for the future development of technology groups.

Samarra. This city has been enough for the future technology group to develop for a long time. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the base is on another mission. Cai Ruichen plans to operate here for a few years.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and when the third task of power expansion is completed, the fourth mission also appears.

Power Expansion Mission 4: Have control of at least one administrative level of province (armed occupation) in both the present world and the wasteland, the mission is limited to one year, and if the time limit is exceeded, the mission will fail, and the failure penalty will permanently disqualify the commander from advancing to higher authority.

Rewards: 10 temporary entries to Super Units and Special Units for drawing, and 10 attempts to block the rights of units that have already been drawn.

Additional Mission Reward: If the mission is completed within 8 months, an additional Libyan base vehicle will be rewarded. If the mission is not completed for more than four months, the reward will be forfeited, and the Libyan Base Car will never appear again.

Note: When the Libyan base vehicle is developed to the end, there will be an exclusive special unit, the Chrono Explosion Truck.

……

A task that seems painful to Cai Ruichen, whether it is in the present world or in the wasteland, faces great difficulties.

Because of the requirements of this task, the wasteland alone is difficult to complete in Cai Ruichen's opinion.

The recapture of Erbil had already made the base almost breached by mutants, and now it was such a mission.

This time it's time to reclaim a province, especially in the wasteland. It is important to know that the location of the wasteland base is in northern Iraq, near the province of Nineveh.

There are several big cities here, and many of them are cities that do not exist in the present world. The population size of these cities is not small at all.

Moreover, Erbil and Mosul do not belong to the same province, one is the large but not very populous province of Nineveh, all of which are savannah.

There is also the province of Erbil, which is relatively small in size, but it is indeed very populous and has a lot of safe zones.

This mission is not only to allow Cai Ruichen to recover the big cities where the mutants gather, but also to ask him to take over those safe zones.

The mission requirement was a year, but once again he saw a base car, or a high-end-looking special unit like the Chrono Detonator Truck.

He was moved again, but a year was already very hard, and eight months was even more intense.

Of course, there is also the difficulty of the present world, the town of Marin is under the jurisdiction of Baghdad Province, but Samarra is not.

And Cai Ruichen naturally looked at Salah al-Din Province, where Samarra is located, and the capital city is Tikrit.

Of course, Baghdad Province is also a good target if needed, because it is small in size but has a large population, and all international factors aside, Baghdad Province is actually the best choice.

And the fighting of the Iraqi government forces is really easy to bully, and it is much easier than dealing with the Islamic State forces.

But Cai Ruichen can only focus on the current Salah al-Din Province, because this is the only place where he can make a move at present.

The entire province of Salah al-Din has been occupied by Islamic State forces, and Future Technologies can use U.S. support to occupy the province.

When the time comes, it is still possible to give the Iraqi Government a little benefit in name.

But what needs to be done now is to help Iraqi government forces defeat the Islamic State forces in Fallujah.

If it weren't for the relationship with the United States, Cai Ruichen would really want to drag the main force of the Islamic State of 20,000 in Fallujah.

Then send troops to occupy Salah al-Din province, which will save a lot of effort.

However, the battle of Fallujah is also a test for the United States for the Future Technology Group, not only to defeat the Islamic State forces, but also to fight beautifully, so that the United States side will be impressed by the Future Technology Group forces.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen has decided to help the Iraqi government army take out the troops in Fallujene as soon as possible once the coordinated operation is formulated.

That's right, the current plan is to annihilate them all, and then prepare for the next stage of recovering Salah al-Din province.

This is also a helpless move, because it is impossible for him to let go of the main force of 20,000 and go back, and then come to Salah al-Din Province to cause trouble for himself. Of course, things change quickly, and so do plans.

However, for Cai Ruichen, the real trouble is not in the present world, but in the wasteland, he has seen the real powerful side of mutants, and he no longer dares to underestimate those mutants who look stupid.

In Erbil province, there are no fewer than 10 cities with a population of more than half a million alone.

Below these ten cities, there are more than thirty counties and independent towns, and the combined number of mutants is in the millions.

Although there are no large cities like Erbil in Erbil Province, there are no more than a million mutants in the north, except for Mosul.

But these scattered mutants are also very threatening.

Moreover, the fact that the base gave him a year this time is enough to show that the danger of this mission is also extremely dangerous.

Because of the development of one year, the base can now have a minimum of 80,000 troops. (To be continued.) )
