Chapter 55

Meetings are very particular in China. The knowledge is not external. It is difficult to change habits, whether before or after the outbreak of the virus. Once the habit is formed, everyone will think it has the value of existence, and no one will question its rationality.

Meetings are divided into day meetings and night meetings according to time, and general meetings and small meetings according to size, which all depend on what meeting to hold, how to hold it and the content of the meeting.

The larger the scale of the meeting and the more participants, the authenticity of the meeting becomes meaningless and becomes a ventilation meeting to convey instructions, spirit and notice. You don't need to bring your mouth or pen. Sometimes you don't even need your ears. You can chat, read the newspaper, yawn, and even sleep in the meeting. These are all fine, because you're just a person of no importance.

Once the scale of the meeting is very small, only a few people know, and the spirit of the meeting is strictly forbidden to spread, such a meeting is the time to make major decisions, which is called closed door consultation.

Don't think that there are few such meetings, which is a big mistake. The so-called closed door secret consultation meetings are held every day. They talk about problems behind closed doors and make major decisions in the middle of the night. Several people represent the decisions of the whole. This is the characteristic of the Chinese Conference.

Small meetings, small canteens, small groups and big scenes, great spirit and great writing form a sharp contrast. This is not only the game of the authorities, but also the sadness of the fart people.

When a small group of people are discussing the fate of another group of people, it is difficult to understand that they are also the object of discussion of other small groups of people, and they also have no chance to decide their own destiny.

There are many things that can not be seen at night. For example, the content of the discussion. Tian Heng, commander of the 47th army, yawned and walked into the conference room. He saw that there were only three people in the conference room: Wang Cheng, commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, Zhu Ming, political commissar, and Yao Shan, Minister of operations. He immediately understood the importance of this meeting. If someone sees these four people together at this time, they will wonder why none of them died after the virus broke out.

"Commander Tian, please come so late, didn't you disturb your spring dream?" Yao Shan reached out and touched the top of her head without a few hairs under her body, joking with Tian Heng.

Tian Heng picked up a bag of soft China from the conference table, took out a light, took a deep breath and said, "Yao bald, if you don't have anything important today, I told you not to lift it". Tian Heng and Yao Shan are old classmates. They know each other's roots, otherwise this can't be said from Tian Heng's mouth.

"Well, everyone is here. Let's have a meeting now!" Zhu Ming patted the table.

Generally, on this occasion, the host will not speak first, but pretends to wait for others to speak deeply. When it is pending, it is time to show his authority.

Yao Shan stood up from the conference table, went to the electronic demonstration platform, pressed the play button and said, "let's watch a video first. This is the data detected in various regions after the virus outbreak. After the deduction of the operation Department, it is found that the situation is much more serious than we previously estimated.".

As Yao Shan's voice just dropped, aerial photos and satellite data from various regions, including China, Europe and America, appeared on the screen; There are the data just before the outbreak of the virus and the data just taken, which can be regarded as a summary of the current outbreak of the virus.

The video played for half an hour. There was no sound except the sound of cigarette lighter in the venue, because the video was only images and no recording.

Yao Shan closed the video, took out several documents from his briefcase and sent one to everyone: "from the outbreak of the virus to now, nearly 80% of the total military strength of Lanzhou Military Region has been lost, and the combat establishment has basically been completely destroyed. We need to quickly take measures to supplement the source of troops in order to take over the city. This is my plan and implementation plan".

Tian Heng took a look at the plan and couldn't help frowning. At yesterday's meeting, he was still discussing whether the military establishment should be cut and how to supplement the source of troops now. Did something happen that he didn't know?

Lanzhou Military Region governs two group armies (21 and 47 group armies), the 6th infantry division, the 4th, 8th and 11th motorized infantry division and two armed police mobile divisions of Xinjiang Military Region: the 63rd division of armed police (Pingliang City) and the 7th Division of armed police (Yili city) After the outbreak of the virus, the total military strength has been less than 60000, scattered in Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Qinghai and other places. If the military strength is scattered, the real combat force is less than 40000. Therefore, at the meeting a few days ago, someone proposed to reorganize the military strength of the Lanzhou Military Region, cancel all the original auxiliary forces, leaving only the 21st and 47th group armies.

Tian Heng very much agrees to reorganize the Lanzhou Military Region. First, his strength has not been weakened. Second, his scope of control will be greater. More importantly, whoever has an army has the right to speak.

There was a brief silence at the meeting. Zhu Ming looked up at Wang Cheng sitting next to him and said, "according to the news just received, Chengdu Military Region and Guangzhou military region are expanding their troops, and other military regions will follow up soon, so the troops of Lanzhou Military Region should also be expanded, otherwise we will be a second-class military region".

"It seems that the matter of expanding the army has been decided before he came." Tian Heng secretly planned Yao Shan's role in it. Zhu Ming and Wang Cheng have always disagreed. It's rare to have no objection this time. It seems that they all focused on this cake: "is that to restore the previous establishment or re-establish the establishment?" , Tian Heng neither denied nor agreed to expand the army. These are not important. What matters is whether he can benefit from this opportunity.

"Commander Wang and I are of the opinion that on the basis of the 21st and 47th armies, the original division will be directly upgraded to the army to form eight group armies, with a fixed number of 40000 soldiers per unit and a total force of 320000. What is the opinion of commander Tian about re dividing the jurisdiction to deal with the current situation?"

Tian Heng greeted Zhu Ming's ancestors for eight generations in his heart. He didn't get any benefits in this army expansion. However, it's not the time to express his position. Wang Cheng's opinion, like Zhu Ming, still has another plan. Is Yao Shan willing to be a foil in the middle, "no, it's not the time to be clear. We should see the development of the situation first".

"I obey any correct decision made by the military headquarters!" a slow sentence mechanically came out of Tian Heng's mouth, which doesn't mean anything.

Wang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, snuffed out the cigarette end in his hand and said: "The 21st army and the 47th army are the main forces of the Lanzhou Military Region. Their combat capability has always been the strongest in the whole military region, and the combat capability of other forces is not weak. However, after the hasty expansion of the army, their combat capability will be greatly reduced. Now it is a time of crisis. We are facing corpses that are not afraid of death, and there can be no negligence. My opinion is: the 21st army and the 47th army will expand by 100000, and the other forces will be better It is not too late to replenish troops and restore combat capability. If the situation permits, it is not too late to upgrade to an army. ".

Wang Cheng firmly controlled the 21st army, the 47th army, the 6th mechanized infantry division, the 4th, 8th and 11th motorized infantry division. Zhu Ming could only control the armed police forces of the other two divisions. He thought he could promote the division to the army this time, so that he could master at least two armies. Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng, an old man, remained unmoved, only slightly improved the establishment of the 21st army and the 47th army, but the other troops did not move , I don't know what abacus Wang Cheng is playing in his heart.

Tian Heng was not happy about the expansion of his 47th army to 100000, but worried: "commander Wang, the primary problem considered by the army now is food. I don't know whether the military headquarters has studied this problem.".

"Let me answer this question," Yao Shan said, hanging out a huge battle map of Lanzhou Military Region: "Our operation Department has studied the next operation plan in detail according to the actual situation of each force. Considering the shortage of combat forces, our plan is to surround the city from the countryside, establish a base outside the city, organize the surrounding survivors, supplement them to the army, consolidate the base, and then launch an attack on the city.".

"Within the jurisdiction of the 47th army, here... Here... And here... Are all small rural towns and cities. Hundreds to thousands of soldiers can occupy them. After occupation, military control will be implemented quickly, production will be resumed, and the rear base will be rebuilt. As long as it takes one year, the food problem will be solved naturally."

"It's too easy," Tian Heng doubted Yao Shan's plan. If so, we should concentrate our forces to liberate big cities. There are more survivors in big cities, which means that there are more troops. With troops, more cities can be liberated, and there is no strategy of Encircling Cities from rural areas.

"Commander Tian, you can question my character, but you can't doubt the plan formulated by the operation Department. If you have different opinions, you can put it forward now," Yao Shan said seriously.

"Well, you're right. I'll resolutely implement it." Tian Heng is too lazy to compete with Yao Shan, mainly because there is no need to compete. Now Tian Heng can directly mobilize less than 3000 troops, and they are scattered everywhere. It's no problem to gather all the troops together before the outbreak of the virus, but after the outbreak of the virus, it has become the most troublesome problem.

Traffic jams, zombies everywhere, land transportation of materials has become a war of consumption, and air transportation capacity also needs to be restored, but gasoline has become a problem. The normal gasoline reserve of Lanzhou Military Region is only 30 days, and all vehicles will become scrap iron in 30 days.

Yao Shan glanced at Tian Heng discontentedly and continued her topic just now: "The traffic between cities must be restored as soon as possible, especially the railway transportation, power network and power station should be restarted, the emergency communication system should be kept unblocked, the gasoline everywhere must be uniformly dispatched, and publicity efforts should be strengthened to let the survivors actively join the army, especially the super capable people everywhere. We must not lose control of them. This is the sharpest weapon in our fight against the virus.".
