Chapter 75 Northern Territory Alliance (3rd update, plus 250 monthly tickets)

  Tang Zheng placed the resource recycling station according to the selected location.

   This is a warehouse with a huge storage space, and the materials can be directly used for construction after being transported into the warehouse.

   After completing this construction, Tang Zheng already owned two official buildings.

  When his official buildings reach three items and the troops are full, he can upgrade the Battalion Commander.

  But Tang Zheng is not in a hurry now, it is more urgent to get the base out first than to upgrade the battalion commander.

   With the completion of the wind farm and resource recovery station, this barren area has taken on a bit of shape.

   Tang Zheng immediately began to assign tasks.

   This time following Tang Zheng, there are three combat platoons.

   Tang Zheng asked the first row and the second row to act separately, each leading two engineering squads to collect construction vehicles and building materials.

  Guo Yun followed a row and went to collect the vehicles, because many of the vehicles were dead, and the scientific research soldiers of the system had mastered the anti-acid technology of the vehicles, which could derust and start the vehicles.

  The second row goes to Qingquan County, which is further away, where there is a building materials market.

  Scientific research soldier He Xue followed the second platoon, and ten military trucks went with him.

   Originally, there were not so many military trucks, but now is an extraordinary period, Tang Zheng directly added a few more.

  The two combat platoons and the engineering platoon left, and it became quieter here.

  The remaining engineers are here doing simple work of cutting down trees and leveling the land.

  The cooking class started cooking, and the soldiers in the third row were already patrolling the surrounding area.

   Tang Zheng had nothing to do, so he sat down at the door of the resource recycling station.

   Correspondent Wu Di put the radio on and began to listen to local radio broadcasts.

  After coming here, Tang Zheng only listened to Yong Linling and the international base's scolding on the radio once, and he didn't know the distribution of forces here.

  So he planned to use this time to learn about the surrounding situation, so that he knew what was going on.

   Turning on the radio, he began to listen to various speeches on the radio here.

  But he didn't expect that just after turning on the radio, he heard a shocking news.

  A female voice is speaking on the radio.

   "Hi everyone, this is the headquarters of the Northern Territory Alliance. I am the announcer Wan Qing."

   "The Northern Territory Alliance was established 20 days ago. It is currently composed of twelve survivor bases, headquartered in the Imperial University of Agriculture and Forestry in the southern suburbs of Lumbardy City."

   "According to incomplete statistics, the total number of alliance members has exceeded 300,000, making it the most well-deserved largest force in the Northern Territory."

   "The chairman of the alliance, Xie Jinshan, Earl of the Empire, was elected by the twelve members of the alliance council and is responsible for managing the affairs of the entire alliance."

   "The chief of staff of the alliance is a senior officer from the Second Army of the Imperial Royal Army. He is conducting regular and militarized training for the armed forces within the alliance."

   "The alliance is actively contacting the empire, but due to network interruption, power loss, and traffic paralysis, the contact has not been successful."

"But the alliance is not discouraged. While constantly trying to connect with the empire, it is still based on the local area, starting from the west of Lianghe Province in the east, Fengcheng in Western Sichuan Province in the south, New Oasis City in Mobei in the west, and Lumba City in the north. Jingjiang, within a radius of thousands of square kilometers, is currently under the jurisdiction of the alliance."

   "The purpose of the establishment of the alliance is to unify management and command, gradually eliminate the zombies in this area, and ensure the safety of all survivors."

   "Survivor forces in this region may not join the alliance, but they must pay taxes to the alliance, and obey the alliance's scheduling arrangements, and must not violate them."

"Today, a heart-wrenching incident took place within the jurisdiction of the alliance. Between the leader of the Empire Earl Yong Linling at the manor base in the northern suburbs of Fengcheng, and the leader of the international base, Jonathan, there was an embarrassing incident on the radio. Shameful cursing."

   "According to preliminary understanding, it was the leader Yong Linling who took the lead in attacking the team collecting supplies at the international base, which led to this unpleasant incident."

   "Here, Speaker Xie Jinshan warns the two leaders, Yong Linling and Jonathan, no matter what your status was before or what you are now, to survive on this land, you must abide by the rules of the alliance."

  "Speaker Xie Jinshan asked the two bases to exercise restraint and not to continue the armed conflict. If any one insists on continuing the conflict, the alliance will intervene by force."

"Speaker Xie Jinshan also issued a warning. Recently, some mercenaries have been active in the Northern Territory, and some foreign forces have even entered. Chairman Xie hopes that these people can restrain themselves after listening to the broadcast. Behavior, don't act recklessly for your own selfish desires, or you will face the full blow of the alliance."

"Finally, if there are survivors who have recently come to this land, after listening to the broadcast, please contact the alliance and report the population of your base, the number of weapons and equipment, the size of the base, etc., and the alliance will send a tax officer. Go to your base to raise the population tax."

   "The specific tax standards are as follows: Adults, each person pays 10 kilograms of grain per month, half of it for those over 60 years old, and half for children. In addition to grain, steel, fuel and other materials can also be used for tax instead of grain."

   "After paying taxes, these bases will be included in the protection scope of the alliance. In the event of man-made or zombie attacks, you can apply for support from the alliance, and the alliance will send rescue forces as soon as possible."

   "If the base cannot maintain the basic living conditions of the survivors, you can apply to join the alliance, and the alliance will consider joining matters as appropriate."

  Hearing this long series of broadcast content, Tang Zheng was so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

   Unexpectedly, in this vast area at the junction of four provinces, there would be an alliance of survivors.

   This is obviously different from Qinzhou's progress.

   But counting the time, it has been almost fifty days since the end of the world. When Tang Zheng just came back to Qinzhou, Qinzhou was like this. There has been no progress, and each is fighting.

   But it is different here. Twelve large survivor bases have formed a Northern Territory Alliance here, and listen to the radio content, as well as official officers of the Imperial Royal Army, who conduct militarized training here.

   There is no doubt that the strength of survivors here is not at the same level as that in Qinzhou.

  The strength is strong, and the people are also domineering. Everything in this piece of land is obviously considered by the Northern Territory Alliance.

   What makes Tang Zheng uncomfortable is that this alliance actually wants to tax all the bases here!

   Also required to report the number of population, the number of weapons and equipment, etc., which Tang Zheng could not accept.

  In the last days, the population has dropped sharply, but Tang Zheng knows that most of the survivors are actually scattered in every corner of the city and countryside.

   Only a small number of people actually joined the large base.

  So in this area, a pyramid structure has been formed, and the Northern Territory Alliance is undoubtedly at the top of the tower.

  Bases like Yong Linling and the International Base should be on the second floor.

  As for a base like myself that has just arrived here, has yet to gain a solid foothold, and has not even recruited survivors, it is considered the third floor.

  Smaller survivor groups or individuals are the bottom.

  After listening to the domineering broadcast content of the Northern Territory Alliance, Tang Zheng directly turned off the broadcast.

   Tang Zheng didn't care about the taxation issue mentioned by the alliance.

   Obviously, the Northern Territory Alliance has not received news from the Royal Army, nor does it know that the Fifth Army, more than a thousand kilometers away, has completed the recovery of a county.

  The way they are doing now may cause some trouble in the future.

  Having a general understanding of the situation in this area, Tang Zheng temporarily put down the things here and concentrated on the construction of the base.

   A few hours later, Guo Yun and a row of people came back.

   Two squads of engineers drove back with sixteen large vehicles.

  Including forklifts, excavators, heavy trucks, cranes, road rollers, etc.

  The vehicle came back slowly, but with great momentum.

  These vehicles are covered with rust, but they can still be driven back, which proves that Guo Yun has repaired the interior.

  After the vehicle returned to the base, it immediately started working.

  The forklift directly leveled the ground, and the excavator began to dig holes where needed.

   According to the sketches designed by Guo Yun, construction has started in various places.

  The Fengming River is next to it, and it is very convenient to get water.

   When the evening approached, the second row also came back.

   There are more than a dozen large trucks coming back with the second row.

  The car is full of building materials.

  Red bricks, stone strips, optical cables, wires, cement, steel bars, etc., were pulled back by carloads.

  The sand was not pulled from the outside, because Guo Yun discovered that a large amount of construction sand could be dug out near the side of the mountain, which saved a lot of trips.

  The car loaded with masonry and cement drove into the resource recycling station, unloaded directly, and then came out from the back.

  In Tang Zheng's system, a row of new numbers appeared.

  These numbers record how many building materials you have now. When the city wall is built, as long as the materials are enough, you can build it directly.

  The engineers immediately started to lay the optical cable quickly, because the planning had been completed, so the process was very fast, without any sloppiness.

  By the time it got dark, a long section of underground optical cable had already been laid.

  The soldiers built a temporary work shed on a cleared area, and Tang Zheng also rested here.

   Electric lights lit up in the shed one by one.

   Today's work has temporarily come to an end, and Tang Zheng will start building a section of the city wall when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

  The meals in the cooking class are ready and ready to serve.

   Tang Zheng was holding a box of lunch, and when he was about to eat, Yang Mu, the leader of the second row, came over.

   "General, there is a situation."

"what's the situation?"

   "Today when we went to the Qingquan County Building Materials Market to pick up building materials, we met a few survivors."

   "Oh, what kind of survivor?"

   "It was two extremely ordinary survivors who came out to collect food. After seeing us, they avoided them from a distance, but when we left, those two people looked in our direction."

   Tang Zheng paused for a while, and then began to eat.

"Don't care about him. When we came here, we didn't intend to keep it secret. Sooner or later, people will know about it. It's all about making an appearance one day later. But we have to speed up the construction as soon as possible. Don't wait for people to come to the door , the city wall hasn’t been built yet, so it won’t look very good.”

   "Subordinates understand that we will go to the building materials market tomorrow and try to make two trips to bring back more building materials."

   Earl of the Empire, Xie Jinshan, chairman of the Northern Territory Alliance, played by a group of friends (stupid children love girls).
