blood plague

Chapter 246 Strategic Planning
There are some differences between Iger leading the team this time and last time.

To put it simply, the main purpose of the last joint operation was to kill monsters. In addition to killing monsters, this joint operation also involves the distribution of loot.

For this, Iger has submitted a proposal for a long-term joint field operation and it has been approved.Through this proposal, Iger tried to clarify the responsibilities and benefits of all parties participating in the joint operation.

To put it simply, if you have the money to contribute money, if you have the strength to contribute, the shares will be converted according to the amount of investment before the start of each operation, and the spoils will be distributed proportionally according to the shares after the battle is completed.

The converted high-value war resources are manpower, high-value consumables, low-value consumables, and durable goods.

The conversion price of manpower is the highest, because manpower needs to issue additional material rewards after the operation is over, and manpower also involves injuries and deaths.

Iger made it clear that the injured and dead personnel are responsible for the manpower team.For example, the two team members who died in the first joint operation will be borne by the reclamation team themselves.

Not to mention the consumables, there is a high probability that they will be consumed after each action, otherwise there is no point in preparing consumables.Of course, leftover consumables can be redistributed as loot.

Durable goods can be used many times. Although it is also very important, after all, the safety factor is the highest, and it can be completely recycled almost every time.This includes vehicles, firearms, knives, armor and other equipment.

According to Iger's joint action proposal, in the first operation, the revenue distribution between the Gospel Team and the Gospel Reclamation Group was 50:50, including the Nancheng Plaza complex where the field team was trapped that day.But starting from the second action, it should be distributed according to the actual contribution of both parties.

When Iger made the proposal, the board was in an uproar.

Andy, who had just been elected as the chairman, directly used the authority of the chairman to forcefully pass the proposal after Iger put forward the proposal.

Andy did this mainly because he was afraid that some ignorant directors would raise objections, which would invalidate the proposal.

Father Locke had just passed away, and Iger put forward this proposal on the board of directors, giving people a feeling of wanting to separate the family.

But Andy knew that it was precisely because Iger didn't want to separate the family that he made this proposal.

It can be seen from the first joint field operation that the reclamation team has far surpassed the Gospel team in terms of number and elite level. In subsequent field operations, if the Gospel team cannot keep up with the number of personnel, it will inevitably lead to Some people have opinions on the equal sharing of benefits.

When there are more and more people with opinions, Iger may not be able to suppress it alone. He needs to take care of the emotions of his subordinates.The final result is that the reclamation team does not bring the gospel team, and they play by themselves.

At this level, no matter how close everyone still wants to be, it is already a fact that they have separated.

The current model is obviously beneficial to the gospel team with more abundant supplies.

Andy was naturally grateful for Iger's gesture of favor, so he quickly passed the proposal before anyone raised objections.

Sure enough, Iger really went back to reorganize the team and brought people over. This time the reclamation team had more field members than last time.

The Gospel team is running out of people.Last time, the group of team members needed a certain amount of time to rest, and Andy gritted his teeth, and he pulled the internal security team out.

The security team only has 12 people, and the number is still far behind. Andy selected 2 people from the general internal staff, and made up 14 people. No matter how hard Nicholas continued to lead the team, there were exactly 5 teams, which barely reached the joint field team. Require.

When the joint field team was preparing for the final expedition, Iger held a combat meeting. He called Allen, Ender, and Nicholas together, and then Nicholas turned on his computer, and Iger held a broom as a baton , pointing to the map and telling his battle plan.

"Through the first joint field mission, we can know that it is an extremely difficult and long battle to eliminate the infected and retake Pudo City.

Although our field team members fought extremely bravely, because of the huge disparity in the number of us and the infected, there is an inappropriate analogy, like a very strong ant trying to beat an elephant. "

When Iger spoke here, everyone laughed.

"So, for the second joint field mission, we need to change our combat thinking." Iger said: "First, we need to improve combat efficiency. Therefore, in this field mission, I asked to abandon cold weapons and all team members use firearms to attack kill the infected."

When Iger said this, Nicholas wanted to raise his hand to speak, but he put his hand down halfway.

"Nicholas, say it." Iger saw Nicholas' movements, and he motioned for Nicholas to say what should be said or not.

"Captain, we tried to shoot with guns, but the efficiency was too low." Nicholas said to Iger.

"About the efficiency issue, I will talk about it later." Iger said to Nicholas, and then he continued: "Second point, we need to change the way of killing monsters. We can't simply kill monsters, but find a way to kill infected people. Pull away.

In my opinion, in order to effectively reduce the probability of mutation of infected people, we must first reduce their scale and density.

Of course, this has no basis at all, it's just my personal guess.However, before we can completely eliminate the infected people in Pudo City, it will be more helpful for our actions to disperse the infected people entrenched in Putuo City first.

The biggest help is that we can observe their actions to speculate whether a new blood plague heart has formed. "

When Iger said this, everyone understood.

When the Plague Heart is formed, the infected will gather in one direction.If they were already squatting together densely, no one would be able to tell if there was any change.

But if the infected are in a discrete state, as long as the infected suddenly start to gather in a certain direction, then it can be inferred that there is a high probability that the blood plague heart is hatching somewhere.

When Iger said this, everyone's overall thinking on the second field operation was very clear.

At this time, Iger knocked on the I-shaped building complex with a broom, and he said: "The third point, this is also the basis for the smooth development of the first and second points. That is to establish a tidal permanent outpost here stand.

This tidal permanent outpost is shared by the gospel team and the reclamation team, including sharing all the resources inside.

We got here first, occupied it, then armed ourselves with the supplies here.If the gun store here has enough firearms and ammunition, then we can directly carry out combat operations. If the guns and ammunition are not enough, of course, the probability is very small, we need to plan to shoot down another nearest gun store. "

After hearing Iger's words, everyone felt that the plan was highly executable.

In fact, in the last field operation, everyone thought of setting up a large shopping mall in order to obtain various supplies.As for whether there are enough guns and bullets in the gun shop, the Americans here have never considered it at all.

In the past, when the promotion season came every year, such as Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, all businesses had to try their best to make discounts and promotions, and arms dealers were no exception.

In addition to gun promotions, arms dealers will also launch various bullet gift packs.

The relatively well-known Federal Bullet Company used to ingeniously use large iron barrels to directly store bullets and sell them in barrels.This kind of large-volume and cheap promotion method directly made the bullet barrels sell like crazy.

Its competitor, Hornady, is even more powerful. It learns from others and also packs them in barrels.But the same big iron barrel, because they filled the bullets more evenly, they filled it more.At the same price, a barrel of bullets in their home can hold about 1400 more rounds, with an average of 13800 rounds per barrel, and the minimum will not be less than 13500, and there are many more than 14000.

This kind of big iron barrel can hold tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition. If there are not hundreds of barrels of ammunition in the gun store, it is really embarrassing to open a shop.

In war, the poor fight the poor, the rich fight the rich, and the local tyrants have the prodigal methods of the local tyrants.

Previously, Iger taught the field team to aim for the head as much as possible when shooting the infected with their guns.What efficiency is said is actually bullshit.That's not poor.

In a gun shop in a small rural town, no amount of bullets can withstand the man-made disasters of the entire team.The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, so Iger is also used to using his shooting ability to the maximum.

Now there is no need to consider the hit rate at all, just lure the infected person out, just chug and it's over.Bring a few more rifles, and replace the guns when the barrels are hot. A team is divided into a barrel of bullets, and they are not allowed to go home.

If you can find a squad machine gun, it will be even better. Pickup machine guns are good for everyone who has used them.

After Iger's explanation, everyone felt a sense of enlightenment.

When everyone is doing things, it is easy to fall into path dependence.People who can break their own path dependence are extremely extraordinary people, and there are too few such people.

During the first batch of field missions, everyone used cold weapons at the beginning. On the one hand, there were indeed practical problems such as low firearm shooting efficiency and difficult ammunition supply.

As a matter of expediency, cold weapons began to be used.

Later, it was discovered that the efficiency of using cold weapons seemed to be higher than that of using firearms, so the thinking gradually fell into a fixed thinking, that is, to maximize the use of the offline state of the infected.So they fought more and more quietly, and in the end they all killed with knives and spears.

In the case of keeping silent, this method can indeed achieve the best efficiency; but the efficiency of cold weapons has a limit.

When everyone falls into the stereotyped thinking, there will be a very classic situation of "the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders and the bystanders are clear". Iger happens to be an outsider, and the first question he thinks of is: Why do I have to keep fighting silently?

Following this line of thought, I worked backwards from the result to the condition bit by bit, and when I pushed it to the end, I found that I had this condition.

Then the whole logic chain can be lit.

This is one of Iger's thinking habits, the reverse thinking method of inverting the construction period.

After hearing Iger's strategic deployment, Allen felt that it was quite satisfactory and there was nothing special about it.

To be honest, Aaron has a lot of opinions about Bella's decision to lead the whole team into the gospel team.After all, this is a team that was pulled together with great difficulty, and he refused to accept it as a free gift.

Of course, with what he has seen and heard these days, Aaron also can’t understand why the Gospel team with only 5 people in the beginning can build such a huge camp in just a few months, and he leads so many outstanding people. team members, but the result became more and more embarrassing.

Allen decided to take a good look.

"Do you have any questions?" Iger asked everyone habitually.

"No." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, let's go."
