Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1651 A Dragon (5200 words)
The rooftop of the Northern City Lord’s Mansion.

It was completely dark, and only Li Yu and Li Tie were left on the roof.

Li Tie used the radio to contact the oil city and the headquarters base.

Uncle San had just come down from the wall of the trading market and rushed over after receiving the message from the operator.

My second uncle was almost the same. He had just finished his work when he received Li Tie's message and quickly returned to the inner city conference room.

Headquarters base, in the inner city conference room.

My second uncle unscrewed the thermos cup, in which wolfberry and codonopsis were soaked. After being soaked for most of the day, the wolfberry and codonopsis tea had a rich flavor and the temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold.

While listening to Li Tie's description of the situation, he took a small sip and smacked his lips.

After Li Tie finished explaining the situation of Koreans entering Dandong, he asked:
"So, that's the main thing, right?"

Li Tie looked at Li Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Li Yu moved the rattan chair forward and said:
"There is one more thing. I suggest that Old Xie be dismissed and sent back to the headquarters base to take over Xiao Jun's position. Let Xiao Jun come to be in charge of the northern border."

Uncle San, who had been listening without saying anything, asked in surprise:
"why?"

Li Yu opened his mouth and replied:

"This time, I found that the team was slack and tired, and Lao Xie was not at all vigilant when facing the Koreans who entered from Dandong. He was even a little arrogant."

Li Yu gave his second and third uncles a brief account of what he had seen during his visit to the Northern Territory.

Uncle San felt a little complicated after hearing this.

When he stayed in the North, he didn't realize that Old Xie was like this.

"So, you mean you want to eliminate those Koreans who entered the country from Dandong?" asked Uncle San.

Li Yu said, "Yes, so I would like to ask Uncle San, do you have any suggestions on how to eliminate those Koreans?"

Before Uncle Three could answer, Uncle Two raised his doubts.

"Xiao Yu, the Northwest forces are eyeing us covetously. The headquarters, the Northland, and the Oil City are all focusing on building boiler heating systems and preparing supplies for the ice disaster. Sending troops over to clear them out at this time is probably not a wise decision."

"Besides, the northern border is several hundred kilometers away from Dandong. If we send troops there from the headquarters base or the oil city, the battle line will be too long."

"We only have so many people. Once we send troops there, Oil City will be left empty-handed."

Hearing this, Li Yu sighed:

"So I'm also struggling with this, Uncle San, do you have any solution?"

The third uncle thought for a moment and said:
"If, as Tiezi just said, that group of people only has a few hundred people and a small amount of heavy weapons, we can maximize our air superiority and send out a dozen or twenty helicopters to bomb them from the air."

"In addition, a small number of ground troops will be dispatched to clean up the battlefield. The entire battle can be resolved within an hour, and including the round trip, it is estimated that it can be completed in two days."

There are currently 42 helicopters at the Dazhangshu Base.

Among them, there are 1600 helicopters with a range of more than 18 kilometers.

There are 2000 aircraft with a range of more than 5 kilometers.

This range is enough to support their round trip from the northern border to Dandong.

In addition, the helicopters are equipped with machine guns, small-caliber artillery and rocket launchers.

The rocket launcher is extremely powerful. One shell can knock down a tank, not to mention that those people don’t have armored tanks.

If more than a dozen helicopters fly over at the same time, they can completely block them and kill them with firepower.

The large camphor tree base today is different from the past.

At one time they didn't even have a helicopter, nor a tank or armored vehicle, so Li Yu personally led the team to launch a surprise attack or a head-on confrontation.

Or you can take advantage of the heavy rain and use zombie attracting potions to eliminate the enemies.

But now they have strong men and horses, and when facing relatively weaker forces, they can completely crush them with firepower.

From the tone of Third Uncle's voice, Second Uncle knew that Third Uncle also wanted to kill those sticks.

In addition, the method proposed by the third brother does not seem to affect their normal construction work.

And not all helicopters are flying out to carry out the mission. Even if only half of the helicopters are used, it would be enough to kill those sticks.

That's okay.

The second uncle agreed with Li Yu's idea. He didn't know much about military affairs, so he didn't say anything more and listened quietly to the discussion between Li Yu and the third uncle.

On the other hand, after hearing Uncle San's plan, Li Yu smiled and said:

"Uncle San, your idea is very good. Let's do this. I'll have someone investigate the situation over there tomorrow. Once we understand the situation, we'll start the action."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news tomorrow. I'll ask Lao Bi to prepare the helicopter and dispatch it to the northern border tomorrow." Uncle San replied.

"Okay, that's settled."

There are a total of 42 helicopters at the Dazhangshu base.

There are 2 at the Takeshi Military Base, 16 at the Headquarters Base, and 14 at the Oil City.
There are 10 planes on the North side, including the 4 that Li Yu flew over this time.

They only need to dispatch a few helicopters from the headquarters base, a few from the oil city, and add those from the north, to make a dozen helicopters, and send a few armored vehicles and a dozen military trucks from the north.

Use helicopters for high-altitude bombing and ground troops to clean up the battlefield.

Blitzkrieg, quick victory, the battle can be resolved in no more than three days.

The helicopter can even make a return trip on the same day, fly away after the bombing, and leave the rest to the ground troops to clean up the battlefield.

The reason why military trucks were sent out was to clean up the battlefield.

After Li Yu and his uncle agreed on this matter, they discussed removing Lao Xie from his current position as the head of the Northern Territory and transferring him back to the headquarters base to replace Xiao Jun.

After all, Old Xie is an old man in the base. It's just that it's inappropriate for him to be in this position of person in charge in the northern border, and he hasn't committed any fault.

So after a discussion between Li Yu, his second uncle and his third uncle, they unanimously decided to punish Old Xie in addition to dismissal. However, Li Yu planned to talk to Old Xie privately and give him a warning.

Maintain a sufficient sense of crisis no matter where you are.

This dismissal is also an opportunity for him to reflect on himself after returning to the headquarters.

If you want to change your position, just keep it low-key.

After discussing these two matters, the radio station was disconnected.

It is already eight o'clock in the evening.

When night falls, heaven and earth sleep opposite each other.

It was a pitch-black night, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.

There was no light outside the North.

A circle of ultraviolet lights on the outer wall of the North Border lit up, and the purple-blue light strips were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

Li Yu crossed his hands and placed them behind his head.

Staring at the dark sky in a daze.

Li Tie was packing up the radio and putting it back into the box.

"Brother, when are you going to talk to Captain Xie about this?" Li Tie asked.

"Tomorrow."

Li Yu touched his stomach and continued, "Let's get something to eat. I'm hungry."

"Okay, big brother." Li Tie nodded, put away the radio, and walked down from the roof carrying the box.

The night is gloomy.

Li Yu stood up and walked to the edge of the wall, overlooking the solar street lights in the city inside the northern territory.

The sky has been gloomy lately, and the sun has not received much sunlight, so the street lights seem particularly dim.

"Xiao Jun, Ma Yingxue, we can let them come to the northern border together." Looking at Li Yu below, Youyou whispered to herself.

Early the next morning.

Li Tie and Zhu Xiao and his team drove three helicopters, taking the middle-aged man they met yesterday, and flew to Dandong for investigation.

Since the distance was more than 700 kilometers, the ground team could not go back and forth on the same day, so no ground team was sent there.

The helicopters they were flying were medium-sized armed helicopters with extended range that had been brought from the headquarters base and modified and upgraded.

With a range of 2500 kilometers, it is fully capable of flying over and conducting aerial reconnaissance for a long period of time, and then returning directly to the north without landing.

Originally, this medium-sized armed helicopter could carry 30 combat personnel, but in order to increase the fuel tank, the seating space was reduced, and now it can only seat about ten people.

But this time we are mainly going there for reconnaissance, so we don’t need to bring many people with us.

Li Tie and his team had already set off, and Old Xie naturally knew about it.

Looking at the helicopter in the distance, Old Xie, who was slow to react, also reacted.

I separated from the city lord last night, and the city lord left Ah Hong and Guo Peng alone.

Even Old Xie, who was a thick-skinned man, noticed that something was wrong.

It was obvious that the city lord was not very satisfied with himself.

"Oh, what should I do?"

Just when he didn't know what to do, footsteps were heard behind him.

"Captain Xie, the city lord is looking for you. He is waiting for you in the city lord's mansion." Li Gang came to Old Xie and said to him.

Old Xie nodded and said, "Okay."

I thought to myself: Here it comes!
With his head lowered, he followed Li Gang towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Along the way, he was worried and somewhat annoyed about his performance in front of the city lord yesterday.

It seems that the city lord is extremely hostile to those immigrants from Dandong, and is likely to send troops to wipe out that group of people.

But I said that I don't need to care about it, and said something arrogant. I'm sure the city lord is a little dissatisfied.
However, he always felt that it was meaningless to send troops to attack that group of people at this time.

He just couldn't understand why the city lord would spend his time and energy doing such an unnecessary thing.

If what the Disaster Research Institute speculated is true, the most important thing for them now is to prepare to fight the freezing disaster and try every possible means to stockpile cold-resistant supplies and build a heating system.

At this time, why send troops out?
With a lot on his mind, Old Xie followed Li Gang to the eighth floor of the City Lord's Mansion.

This was originally the bedroom of Yuan Zhi, the former governor of the Northern Territory. It occupied an entire floor and was decorated quite luxuriously. Now it has become Li Yu's private space.

He lived here every time he came to the North.

The door to the room on the eighth floor was not closed, but left open.

Li Yu sat on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room on the eighth floor, drinking Yuan Zhi's treasured red wine.

Tuk Tuk——

Li Gang knocked on the door.

"City Lord, Captain Xie is here."

Hearing this, Li Yu put down the wine glass and stood up.

"it is good."

After Li Gang sent Lao Xie in, he closed the door casually.

Li Yu stood up and waved to Lao Xie with a smile on his face, "Lao Xie, come and sit down."

Old Xie was nervous and walked over with a heavy and complicated mood.

This feeling is like being an employee in the workplace before the end of the world, and suddenly one day the HR manager asks you out for coffee.

He had a vague feeling that the city lord's visit to him was not a good thing.

Li Yu pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down."

At the same time, he picked up a new goblet, poured a small glass of wine from the bottle, and placed it in front of Lao Xie.

"This Yuan Zhi really knows how to enjoy life. This is a Remy Martin that's over ten years old. Wow, but I can't tell whether it's good or bad. You try it." Li Yu picked up the bottle and said to Lao Xie while looking at the year on it.

Old Xie's back was straightened, with only half of his butt sitting on the sofa.

"Okay, thank you, City Lord."

Seeing him like this, Li Yu comforted him, "Don't be so nervous. Do I look that scary?"

Old Xie raised his hand and put the wine glass down again, and said in a panic:

"No, no, City Lord, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Li Yu asked back.

Old Xie hesitated for a moment and said:

"City Lord, I don't think I'm suitable to be the person in charge in the North. I have limited abilities and I'm old. I feel a lot of pressure working in the North. It's beyond my ability, so I'm applying..."

"I'm applying to be transferred back to the headquarters base."

Li Yu frowned when he heard this. How could Old Xie know his decision?

When I was chatting with my second and third uncles last night, Li Tie was the only one around. He definitely wouldn't tell anyone.

There is only one possibility, and that is that Lao Xie guessed it himself.

This old Xie
Li Yu took a sip of 18-year-old Remy Martin and nodded:
"Okay, since you said so, I won't stop you."

"Also, I want to tell you that you are in the North, and I am very unhappy with it."

Hearing what Li Yu said, Old Xie's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

The city lord is always straightforward and doesn't play tricks on people.

But the truth still hurts.

Li Yu continued:

"First, the North has too many people and the team is laxly managed. This is because you didn't manage it well."

"Second, you are so arrogant that you think you can ignore those idiots in Dandong. Even I don't dare to be arrogant. You actually said such words yesterday. Old Xie, to be honest, I am a little disappointed in you."

Hearing Li Yu say that he was a little disappointed in him, Old Xie immediately stood up and said to Li Yu in fear and trepidation: "City Lord, I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong?" Li Yu asked.

Old Xie stammered, "I shouldn't be so arrogant and think that since our camphor tree is strong, we can handle other forces."

Li Yu stared into his eyes, and his eyes saw through Old Xie.

"Do you think that those guys in Dandong are far away from us and pose no threat to us, so we don't need to pay attention to them?"

"Do you think it's a good idea to wipe them out many times in one fell swoop?"

"No, no." Old Xie shook his head, but his eyes betrayed him.

Li Yu stood up, looked at him sharply and said:
"A sense of crisis! If we didn't have this sense of crisis, Dazhangshu wouldn't have gotten to where it is now! If we ignore the Koreans who came to our country, what will we do when they become powerful in a few years?"

"What if they get close to the North and sneak around to cause trouble?"

"Do we have to wait until they come to our door before we deal with them?"

"We must nip any threat in the bud!"

"If we hadn't done this, the big camphor tree would have been gone by now!"

Since Li Yu's rebirth, he has always maintained a cautious and self-reflective character.

Even until the power of the big camphor tree has grown to its current level, this has not changed.

Logically speaking, at a position like his,
Especially in this apocalypse, the power of the big camphor tree has become an extremely powerful existence.

As the leader of such a powerful force, it seems unnecessary for him to be so cautious.

However, in Li Yu's opinion.

It is better to be safe than sorry. People usually don't fail when they are weak, but always fail when they achieve certain achievements and become proud and complacent.

If something goes wrong, it could be a complete loss.

The Qian Gua in the Book of Changes tells the story of a dragon.

The first nine, the dragon is dormant and cannot be used; the second nine, the dragon is seen in the field; the third nine, working hard all day and being vigilant at night; the fourth nine, the dragon leaps in the abyss; the fifth nine, the dragon flies in the sky; the top nine, the arrogant dragon will regret.

This is the entire process of a dragon from conception to take-off.

If you want to be a dragon, you must first hide, restrain your edge and accumulate potential energy.

Secondly, see, seize the opportunity and be brave to express yourself.

Once again, in Qian and Ti, one must be diligent all day long, and be modest and prudent, and be vigilant day and night.

Then leap again, look for the opportunity, and take the initiative to cross over.

In this way you will be able to soar into the sky, but be careful not to become complacent, otherwise your success will not last long.

When there is no opportunity, don't complain about yourself, because the latent dragon is not used.

The purpose of a latent dragon is to hide, to accumulate potential energy, and to grow bit by bit. At this stage, do not use it.

When you achieve a little success, be cautious and vigilant day and night.

If you dare to be proud and arrogant,
The result is that the higher you stand, the harder you will fall.

There are many such examples from ancient times to the present.

The former MA teacher was so glorious, but in the end...
The six sheep, brothers and family members, but later...
Therefore, in Li Yu's opinion, the stronger you are, the more careful you should be, otherwise one wrong step may lead to a complete loss.

In the end times, if you lose, you’ll lose your life.

There is no chance to start over.

Old Xie's face was filled with shame, he lowered his head and dared not look directly into Li Yu's eyes.

He was ashamed.

He had not experienced too many hardships since joining the Camphor Tree Base, but the city lord remained cautious at all times.

My subordinates are not as cautious as the city lord.

Compared to the pride and arrogance in my heart about the strength of the camphor tree.

He felt extremely ashamed.

"City Lord, I know I was wrong!" Old Xie raised his head, his eyes full of shame.

An old face feels so embarrassed.

Li Yu's expression looked better and he sat back on the sofa.

"Lao Xie."

Li Yu's tone became much calmer.

"You have been a member of Dazhangshu for so many years. You have made contributions and also worked hard. I have seen everything you have done before. Your character cannot be changed, but I want to tell you that you must never underestimate your enemies at any time."

"I will let Xiao Jun exchange positions with you later. When he arrives in a few days, you will complete the handover with him."

When Old Xie heard Li Yu say this, he actually felt relieved.

He was indeed having a hard time working in the northern border.

He is not the enterprising type, to be honest he just wants to stay in the headquarters base and retire.

"Okay, City Lord."

Li Yu looked at him and comforted him:

"Don't think too much. Your position will be very important when you return to the headquarters base. You must continue to work hard and don't get discouraged."

"No, City Lord." Old Xie shook his head.

Returning to the headquarters base to replace Xiao Jun is equivalent to retreating to the second line.

But Lao Xie feels that it is pretty good.

At least, he no longer has such great pressure.

(Please give me a monthly vote. Sorry for posting late. Mainly because it is not appropriate to break the chapter any way.

I might as well just write it in one chapter. Today is a big chapter.
