Chapter 458 I am a pangolin, I will definitely live up to your expectations!

   Oasis No. 3.

  The atmosphere in the frontline command post is dignified.

  A group of military officers gathered around a strategic map full of markings, silent, their faces coincidentally full of seriousness.

  A week ago, under the command of General Griffin and the desperate cover of the Falcon Kingdom's 10,000 and 20,000 teams, they successfully retreated to the No. 3 oasis before the alliance's armored forces cut off their retreat.

  Although they have regrouped and have an absolute numerical advantage, the situation before them is still not optimistic.

  General Griffin looked solemn, staring at the map for a long time, and suddenly said.

   "How long will it take for the reinforcements from the west of the Great Desert to arrive?"

  Hearing General Griffin's voice, the adjutant standing aside hurriedly spoke.

   "At least forty-five days!"

  Forty-five days...

   Griffin frowned, and the officers standing beside him also looked at each other, exchanging solemn expressions, but no one spoke.

  Because they couldn't think of any good way.

  The more than 100,000 clone troops currently deployed on the front line are reinforcements that set off from the west of the Great Desert two months ago. As soon as they arrived in the Falcon Kingdom, they were pulled to the front line before they were reorganized.

  In fact, this was not Griffin's original plan, but a strategy of last resort to deter the alliance and prevent the alliance from continuing to attack.

  Originally according to his plan, the 100,000-strong team was prepared for the rotation of the Falcon Kingdom's retinue.

  After conquering the Lion Kingdom, the followers of the Falcon Kingdom will quickly switch from offensive to defensive, resting on the spot while maintaining order in the occupied area, and the offensive task will be carried out by the clone group.

In this way, it will not only consolidate the legion's war achievements in Luoxia Province, but also ensure the continuous power of the war machine, and will not give the desert residents any chance to breathe. Before they complete their mobilization, they will sweep across the entire Luoxia Province province.

   Even if the enterprise and the Great Rift Valley intend to stop it, they will not be able to change the fact that Luoxia Province is already controlled by the Legion.

   After seeing the results of the war, the head of the Eastern Legion will also give them more military and political support.

  Griffin's series of military deployments in Luoxia Province are all carried out around this "blitzkrieg" strategic policy.

  As long as the opponent is knocked down before the opponent reacts, you won't encounter too much resistance.

  Therefore, in order to ensure that the rotating reinforcements could arrive in time, he adopted a rather aggressive reinforcement strategy, allowing 100,000 people to march lightly, set off before the supplies depart, and directly replenish on the spot after arriving in the Falcon Kingdom.

  Therefore, the 100,000-strong team only carried the ammunition of one benchmark unit.

  In fact, if "Operation Thunder" goes well, the ammunition of this basic unit is absolutely sufficient.

   However, the problem is that not only did the plan not go as smoothly as expected, it even far exceeded everyone's expectations.

  Not only did they fail to capture the Capital of Harvest within the expected time, they even lost half of the land already occupied by the No. 9 oasis, as well as almost all the ammunition depots that were transferred to the occupied area.

  In addition, the supply line to the north was cut off, which made their supply situation even worse. One hundred thousand people came to the front line with rifles. Except for the magazines in their backpacks, they didn't see a single bullet.

   After all, their vassal is only an agricultural country. Even if military reforms are carried out, it will not change the fact that the pillar industry is agriculture.

  Even if the skilled craftsmen over there smoked the punches, it was impossible to solve the ammunition shortage of the 100,000-strong team in a short time.

   Only relying on the ammunition of one basic unit, no matter how much you save, it will be enough to last two battles at most.

   In the third match, two or even three people might share a rifle.

  The clones are just not afraid of death, it's not that they won't die, so they can't really charge the alliance's machine gun positions with bayonets.

   Let alone one hundred thousand people.

   As long as the alliance's logistics is constant, even one million more won't be enough!

  At this moment, there is only one most realistic method left, and that is to wait for the ammunition to be delivered from the rear.

   Staring at the map and meditating for a long time, Griffin spoke slowly.

"...The commanders on the other side are not idiots. It is difficult for us to deceive them for too long. The ultimatum can buy us up to 30 days, and this is the most optimistic situation. If the situation is not optimistic, I am afraid three weeks enough time."

   All the officers whispered for a while.

  Three weeks!

  Even if the supplies can reach the frontline soldiers as soon as they arrive, it will take forty-five days!

   Such a little time is not enough!

  "If they find out that we are bluffing, they will definitely test our defense line, and once they find out that our supplies have indeed gone wrong, our situation may be even worse than it was a week ago."

   Once the No. 3 oasis is lost.

  The only remaining stronghold in Luoxia Province is the Falcon Kingdom.

What's worse, once the survivors gain confidence and the Golden Lizard and Hump realize that they are already strong outsiders, their troops will definitely not stay on the border and continue to sit quietly, but will come up to take advantage of the fire. Soup.

  Griffin paused for a moment, then continued with an emphatic tone.

   "Thirty days! After thirty days, our first line of defense needs to be delayed for at least fifteen more days, and then we will gradually retreat to the middle of No. 3 oasis..."

"The most conservative estimate is that by that time, we should have more than 70,000 troops left. But as long as we can last until then, when our main force finishes replenishing, their spearheads that penetrate into our hinterland will immediately become pies in the pie." Minced meat!"

   Speaking of this, General Griffin's face flashed a trace of sternness, and he clenched his fists resting on the command table.

   "I'll let him spit out everything he eats!"

  As for the Heart of Iron, he didn't mention it in particular.

  That is not something that can be dealt with by conventional weapons at all. No matter how much you plan, it is useless. Anyway, it is impossible for the airship to descend to occupy the ground facilities. After digging the trench, it can be blown up. The biggest advantage of the clone group is that it is worthless.

  Macron knew how to deal with that thing, but unfortunately that guy had already died in the nuclear explosion.

But that's okay.

  He's already reported the loss of the airship, the weapons for that guy will come from the rear along with the ammo the clone regiment needs.

  One airship can't change the whole battle situation, as long as his clone army resupply, everything will be fine!

  After listening to General Griffin's plan, the officers exchanged glances with each other and communicated in whispers.

   At this moment, an officer suddenly spoke.

   "General, but what if that ultimatum doesn't get us thirty days... or even three weeks?"

  The tent fell silent.

  The silence lasted for five minutes.

   It wasn't until General Griffin spoke again that the atmosphere of silence was broken.

   “This is the worst case scenario.”

   "If we don't even win for three weeks, we can only give up the No. 3 oasis and shrink the front to the No. 2 oasis."

   But if it really comes down to it, he will destroy all the things that can be destroyed in the No. 3 oasis before evacuating, leaving a mess for those people to have a headache.

  Hundreds of thousands of hungry people should be enough to hold back the Alliance.

   It’s just that if you do this, the final spoils will be one less…

  …

  Griffin's combat meeting ended, followed by meetings of various departments and establishments to convey the strategic deployment of their respective combat units to the middle and high-level officers.

  After the meeting is over.

  Kerway left the meeting room, and didn't stay outside for too long, but went straight back to his tent.

   Originally, with his military rank and level, he could not participate in this kind of meeting, but a series of recent events have changed the situation.

   First, General McCollen died, and he, who originally belonged to General McCollen's line, was taken into account by Griffin along with other officers. Coupled with the recent shortage of grass-roots officers, he was quickly promoted as an exception for his training mission in the rear.

  The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and the pangolin was sitting at the table eating hazel.

  The appetite of an awakened person is not ordinary, and this guy's appetite exceeds that of an ordinary awakened person. He opened his belly to eat, and wished he could swallow half a calf.

   Fortunately, the legion's supply shortage is only ammunition, not food, otherwise this guy's appetite alone would be enough to be hated.

   "I really envy your appetite, I can't eat at all these two days."

   Throwing the officer's cap on the hanger casually, Coleway went to sit across the table, glanced at the pile of bones on the plate, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

   Good guy.

   At least twenty kilograms of meat.

  The Battlefield guy hiccupped and said with a nonchalant smile.

   "Problems on the battlefield will eventually be resolved on the battlefield. If so, why bother to frown outside the battlefield?"

   You can't win anyway.

   Might as well be happy.

  Having learned about the battle plan discussed by Fountain and Mole, he has no doubts about it.

  However, Kerway did not understand the deep meaning of the second half of the sentence, he just glanced at him enviously, and said in a rather emotional tone.

   "I wish I was half as optimistic as you are."

  The battlefield guy asked casually.

   "Have you encountered any troubles?"

   Kerway said.

   "It's still a question of supplies. Now the front line is short of everything except food... I don't think I should say this, but it doesn't matter. It's not a secret anyway."

  The Fieldman shrugged.

   It's really no secret.

  They had already discussed several rounds on the forum yesterday. Brother Quanshui was arguing with a group of military fans, whether this 100,000-man team had enough ammunition to fight several battles.

   But no matter how much it is, everyone agrees that there will be no more than five battles.

  The only thing to beware of is that they may concentrate the ammunition of several tens of thousands of teams into the hands of one team, withdraw the personnel to the rear and wait for supplies, pretending to have sufficient supplies.

   "Tell me something happy, General Griffin promoted me to be a one-star commander."

  The Battlefield guy looked at him in surprise, then said with a smile.

"congratulations!"

  Colway smiled.

   "Congratulations, too."

"I?"

   "Yes," Coleway nodded, and continued, "I am not the only one who got promoted. From now on, you are a centurion."

  The warlord froze for a moment.

   "I was not the commander before?"

   Why did the rank drop?

   As if seeing the confusion on his face, Coleway explained with a smile.

   "The centurion I'm talking about is the centurion of the regular army."

"The commander of a thousand commanders of the retinue army is just a position, not including the rank, and his status in the legion is not even as good as that of the ten commanders of the regular army. Generally speaking, only Weilante people can serve as officers of the regular army. There has never been a precedent for Chang...but now that the situation is urgent, there is no time to worry about these trivial matters."

  The clone group lacks not only ammunition, but also a large number of grassroots and middle-level officers.

  In order to solve this problem, Griffin could only withdraw a group of young officers trained by the Legion from the officer reserve of the Falcon Kingdom and incorporate them into the regular army to fill the vacancy.

  Kerway didn’t tell the pangolin that he was originally assigned the position of Centurion, but he used his honor as a guarantee for him and specially promoted him to the position of Centurion.

   There are not many opportunities for this kind of extraordinary promotion.

  Maybe only once or twice in a lifetime.

  His loyalty and bravery are worthy of this position. Such a person should not spend his life as a squire. Kerway believed that he would not misunderstand the person.

  A moment of bewilderment appeared on the face of the Zhandi guy, and then he opened his mouth involuntarily, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

   Damn it!

   Is there an organization here? !

  Becoming a centurion means entering the middle ranks of the legion!

Looking at Kerway, who was looking at him with a smile on his face, the warfield guy's face was full of surprise and excitement. He pushed away the chair and stood up. oath.

   "I, Pangolin, will definitely live up to your expectations!"

   "I'm sure you won't let me down."

  Looking at the overjoyed pangolin, Kerway smiled and nodded. He was also sincerely happy for him, but quickly restrained his smile.

   "However, our good days are about to come to an end, and we have to go to the front line tomorrow morning to take up our duties."

   Avenge General McClane!

   At the same time, it is shameful!

  Kerway's heart was burning with a strong will to fight, but he didn't get carried away by it.

  He has already suffered from carelessness once.

  The group of survivors in the southern part of the River Valley Province was difficult to deal with. Those people were not the kind of natives who fought with spears and iron-pipe rifles as he imagined.

  However, unlike Kerway's prudence, after hearing the news, the Zhandi guy laughed out loud.

  The opportunity to make meritorious service is finally coming!

  For that set of power armor, he has been an undercover agent for long enough!

   If you continue to wait, I am afraid that you will become a commander-in-chief.

   "How did it end here?"

   "Brother, our happy life has just begun!"

  …

  Dawn City.

  Highway Town Hotel.

  Lisa, holding a basket of clothes, stopped in front of the window in the corridor. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, she suddenly let out a soft sigh.

  Although those people didn't tell her what pangolins do, she could vaguely guess something from their performance.

  He's from the Union.

   And they are performing very dangerous and dangerous tasks.

  Hope he can come back safe and sound...

  Just coming up the stairs, Li Shuyue happened to see the little girl standing by the window.

   "Lisa? What's the matter?"

  Hearing Li Shuyue's voice, Lisa, who was holding the wooden basket, quickly turned around with a shy smile on her face.

   "Ah, you are back... Your clothes have been dried, I folded them for you, and they are being delivered to you."

Dryers are not popular here in Union, and most clothes and bedding are dried by natural light. Li Shuyue was not used to it at first, but she gradually got used to it, and even gradually fell in love with this "energy-saving and environmentally friendly" lifestyle. .

   Clothes that have been exposed to the sun will have a pleasant smell. After wearing them, it feels like the whole person is surrounded by warm sunshine, and the mood will also improve.

"Thanks."

   Taking the wooden basket containing clothes from Lisa's hand, Li Shuyue saw the sadness hidden in those eyes, and couldn't help but express concern.

   "Are you in any trouble?"

   For this well-behaved, sensible and capable little girl, Li Shuyue still has a good impression, especially after hearing about her past as a slave of the legion, she was moved with pity.

   Those beasts are simply not worthy of being human!

   She is even willing to donate a nuclear bomb out of her own pocket if they can be wiped off the planet!

   If not, at least she wants to help someone who can see.

  Looking at Ms. Li Shuyue who was looking at her with concern, Lisa shook her head slightly and said softly.

   "It's nothing, miss, I'm not in trouble, I'm just... worried about him."

  Li Shuyue: "That pangolin?"

  Twice of blush flew onto her cheeks, and Lisa nodded slightly.

  Looking at the flushed face, Li Shuyue didn't know how to comfort the little girl in front of her.

   Gently touched the fluffy and soft hair, after she was silent for a while, she suddenly spoke.

   "The things I came here to do have been dealt with."

  Lisa's eyes widened in surprise.

   "Are you planning to go back to Dream City?"

  Li Shuyue nodded.

"Um."

  The research report has been completed, and the cooperation plan with several companies in the alliance has also been finalized. She needs to go back and implement the plan as soon as possible.

  Including the recruitment of joint venture companies, personnel arrangements, determination of sources of goods and sales strategies, etc., there are a lot of things waiting for her to deal with.

  Lisa showed a lonely expression, but said with a smile.

   "Hope to see you again in the future, welcome again."

  Li Shuyue was silent for a moment, then finally made up her mind and spoke.

   "Have you considered changing your life?"

  Unexpectedly, she would ask such a question, Lisa was slightly taken aback.

   "Another place?"

  Li Shuyue nodded.

"Well, it might be a bit abrupt to say that, I happen to be short of a life assistant here, and I'm quite satisfied with your work attitude and ability... If you're interested, I can help you apply for a work visa, you can tell me your ideal City, I can give you a salary of 5000Cr a month, not including bonuses and vacation subsidies. Of course, it will increase in the future.”

   Lisa looked at her in surprise.

  Although she has never been to Ideal City, she has heard from passengers that 1 Cr can be exchanged for 3 silver coins.

   Fifteen thousand silver coins...

   This is almost 40 times, or even 50 times the monthly salary of ordinary positions!

  She didn't know why this Miss Li Shuyue offered herself such a high salary, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally shook her head slightly.

   "Thank you for your kindness, but... I don't want to leave here."

  Hearing this unexpected answer, Li Shuyue was stunned, and looked at the little girl in front of her in surprise.

   "I don't want to...Are you sure? Wait, do you know what Ideal City is?"

   Lisa nodded slightly, and said with a smile on her face.

   "I've heard of it, it's a very beautiful place. I always hear from the guests drinking downstairs that it would be great if I could visit there in my lifetime."

  Li Shuyue stared at her blankly.

   "Then... don't you want to go?"

  Lisa shook her head.

   "I'm going to wait here for him to come back... There are some things I want to tell him personally."

  Li Shuyue looked at her dumbfounded.

   "If he knows that you have rejected such a good opportunity, he may not be happy... And when you get a work visa and the working hours meet the standard, you will be able to obtain resident status. At that time, you can take him along with you—"

  Lisa suddenly interrupted her self-talk.

   "Miss, have you seen him?"

  Li Shuyue froze for a moment, then shook her head.

   "No...what's the matter?"

   "Then why do you think that he will definitely want to live in your hometown?" Lisa looked at her and blinked.

  Li Shuyue was silent for a while.

   "Well, I'm not really sure...just extrapolating from the general case, nobody wants to be there."

"Really? You are just speculating, but maybe not everyone is as you think," Lisa showed a soft smile on her face, looking at the moonlight outside the window, "It's not just to wait for him... to stay in the I am very happy here.”

   Li Shuyue looked at her seriously and said.

   "Think about it, it's the only pure land on this planet."

  Lisa shook her head lightly.

   "This is it for me."

   It was the people here who saved her from **** and told her that there is another life in this world.

   As for the ideal city.

   Maybe it's really nice there.

   But what does it have to do with her?

  Li Shuyue didn't try to persuade her anymore, but her heart was overwhelmed with all kinds of mixed feelings, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

  She didn't understand, let alone imagine, why someone would reject such a generous offer, and she was rejected twice in a row.

   If the guy named Fang Chang refused because of his status as a refugee resident, she would not be incomprehensible.

   After all, each shelter has its own plan, and perhaps there are things more important than a good life in his opinion.

   Yet Lisa…

  She's just an ordinary wastelander, right?

   went back to the room.

  She was about to put the clothes into the suitcase, when she suddenly saw the notes spread out on the table, and stepped forward to turn on the lamp on the table.

   That was an essay she wrote a few days ago. It has nothing to do with business. It was just out of curiosity about the cultural landscape that is very different from other survivor settlements.

  As described by every Ideal City resident who has been here, the situation here is indeed extraordinary.

  The locals are full of confidence in the future prospects of Dawn City, and even think that it will become a more prosperous world than Ideal City.

  Because the manager promised.

  Only this point, Li Shuyue scoffed. After all, it is physically impossible. The birth of Ideal City itself is full of many accidental factors, and the miracle born due to the choice of countless people cannot be replicated.

   It's a pity that I didn't get to meet the manager during this alliance trip.

  The next time you come here, it would be nice to have a chance to meet up...

  …

  Official website forum.

   Just after the peak period of going offline, the warlords popped up on the forum.

   "Hahaha! Brother is cute! I have been promoted!"

  As soon as the post was sent out, it exploded instantly.

  Tail: "Wow! That's awesome! (

  Ye Shi: "Why did you get promoted again?!"

  Drawing on the edge of the water: "Awesome! Now you are the chief of the ten thousand? (Surprised

  Battlefield atmosphere group: "Ahem, that's not... a centurion!"

   Quit smoking: "Damn it, why are you still down?"

  Battlefield atmosphere group: "What's down! I used to be a temporary worker, but now I'm a formal career worker. Can it be the same?"

  Ye Shi: "Awesome!"

   Edge stroke: "666!"

  I am the darkest: "Brother, which defense area are you in charge of? Do you want me to give you a head in two days? (Funny

  Battlefield atmosphere group: "That's a good idea! I'll send you the coordinates later! (Show teeth

  Commander Spring: "Wait, are you on the front line now?! How much ammunition do you have? Do you have an accurate figure?"

  The mole on the run in the canyon: "Yes, yes, there are anti-tank weapons? Are there many? Are they all the 'Iron Fist' or are there other guys?"

  Battlefield atmosphere team: "Why are you so anxious, I'm going to the front line tomorrow! Don't worry, I'll help you guys take a look when I go to the front line!"

  Fang Chang: "Brothers who fight on the front line, take it easy, don't make our pangolins go away, remember to put a long line to catch big fish. (Funny

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Got it! (bad smile

  Battlefield atmosphere group: "Grass, when you said 'received', I suddenly tightened my ass...Don't act recklessly!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Don't worry! Is that kind of person?"

  Battlefield atmosphere group: "Please be an individual first!"

  Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

  The forum is full of cheerfulness.

   Seeing his little players playing this cruel war so happily, Chu Guang was also sincerely happy for them.

  Earlier today, Quanshui showed him his attack plan. If the legion was in logistical difficulties, they could use up the ammunition of the legion through continuous feint attacks first.

After the legion showed signs of fatigue, they concentrated all the armored units and firepower, tore a hole in the legion's defense line, put the motorized infantry in and penetrated to the rear of the legion, and cooperated with the Royal Army's frontal attack, like a tooth-pulling pliers Similarly, the positions of the army were pulled out one by one.

   This plan was named Plan No. 3 by the spring.

   Need to invest in 120 tanks and five "Cloudfly" orthopters.

  Although it is too late for the Alliance to gather so many tanks, the batch of tanks seized by Camp No. 530 is still in the hands of the Restoration Army of the Honey Badger Kingdom.

   The frontal armor of the Conqueror 10 tank is hard enough that the Legion's own Iron Fist rocket launcher hits it like a tickle.

   Just use these tanks to lead the charge.

  As for the No. 2 tank of the Alliance, it can follow behind as a self-propelled artillery, and use the exaggerated 155mm artillery to support it.

   Preparations for the attack are already underway.

  Chu Guang doesn’t need to worry too much about micromanagement on the battlefield. There are many professionals in this game, and everyone’s performance is also very active. Everyone is vying to show their skills in front of everyone.

  The only problem now is the enterprise.

   Probably heard the wind from the pilot of the "Killer Whale" transport plane, and the senior management of the company learned that McClen was captured by the Alliance.

  Maybe an illusion.

  Recently, Chu Guang always felt that these friends from the Far East would accept the rumors from Yichuan...
