Chapter 493: A Crucial Meeting (Part )

"Federal Chief Executive Vasily is here!" As Kuka's sharp, childish and youthful voice came from the small loudspeakers on both sides of the venue, the venue, which was a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Genati stopped his sales pitch and reorganized the information on the "Genati Line" on the table into a pile, while the two directors of the Finance and Economics Group and the Logistics Group also stopped discussing with the chief executives of the resource-rich provinces and strongholds.

Everyone looked towards the center of the conference room with a solemnity that was either sincere, forced, or hypocritical. They all fell silent, as if an angel had descended.

After slightly adjusting the diaphragm condenser microphone in front of him, Kuka continued:

"Let us salute Commander Vasily!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present stood up, stretched out their right fists, extended them to a forty-five-degree angle upwards, and then retracted them, making the movement of "punching the enemy". This is the highest level of military etiquette after the establishment of the Cruzde Federation, and it originated from the tribute paid by the people of the Central Empire to the supreme military leader Caesar.

"Great Commander Vasily!" everyone stood up and said.

Although this group of people had not conducted any form of rehearsal in advance, and the military and administrative chiefs from different places had different accents and tones of speech, they strangely maintained a consistent pace when saluting Vasily. Not only did they speak at the same rhythm, but they even spoke in unison, which seemed very loud and powerful.

"Thank you for your hard work." A faint electric sound and a slightly distorted voice of Vasily came from the loudspeaker. "It's not easy for everyone to come here from all over the federation. Please take a seat."

After everyone was seated, Vasily took the manuscript that Kuka had rewritten overnight and began to read:
"Today is the 'first battle analysis conference' that I have held since I took charge of this country that has suffered so much. This meeting, on the one hand, summarizes the military progress of various regions over the past six months, and on the other hand, looks forward to the future military direction.

"First, let me give an overview of the progress, and then I will invite the main military commanders of each region to report." Vasily paused, took out a document, and began to read:
"From January to September, a total of 55 Federation soldiers and 3 superpowers were deployed in various battlefields. A total of 69 semi-lost people and independent armed forces from various places who cooperated with the Federation or surrendered were deployed. A total of 127 million troops were deployed in various battlefields.

"As of September 9, the total number of humans killed in the war was 53, with more than 1 superpowers and 6 other cooperative personnel. The number of injured was 60 million, including 253 million material producers in various places, 150 displaced civilians, and 50 neutral Lost Ones. The vast majority of these people were harmed by the invasion of the 'Wave of Careless People' and the hostile actions of the Lost One Organization.

"The Lost Ones and independent armed forces have been plundering the Federation's supplies on various battlefields from time to time. The 'Heartless' have been driven by instinct to cannibalize people, and battlefields in various places have also seen cases of killing each other for plundering resources allocated by the Federation. For example, in the Water Province and the Far East Northeast, I heard that the entire Far East City was almost razed to the ground due to internal strife. I hope that such incidents will be eliminated starting next year, and the administrative and military leaders of the two places will conduct a deep review."

While Vasily was criticizing the two places, Sophia secretly glanced at the two administrators sitting in front of her. She found that they were constantly wiping their sweat and their hands were shaking uncontrollably. This uncontrollable shaking was very much like the instinctive reaction of animals when their lives were threatened.

When her attention returned to the center of the conference room, Vasily had already replaced the document in his hand and continued to talk about the situation regarding the weapons:
"At the beginning of the year, due to the 'bone bomb' attack by the 'High Explosive Careless Man', and the serious misjudgment of the former Air Force Commander Provi Vladimir who has been executed in the 'Mayang City Counterattack', 'Northern Forest Airfield Battle' and 'Mamos Wave', we lost 1624 fighters in half a year.

"Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Yaroslav and Gennady, we were able to rebuild 650 new aircraft to make up for the losses caused by the war.

"During the first nine months of this year, the consumption of firearms, artillery and ammunition was within the normal range, so I will not go into details here. Fortunately, with the joint efforts of scientists from the Federation, including Ross and Igor's team, and excellent collaborators from the Order Society, we have successfully replicated and greatly improved many weapons, including the "Hyacinth", "Tulip" artillery, "Red Rose" artillery, "Lotus" large-caliber artillery, "Purple Cabbage" howitzer, as well as the "Sunflower" rocket launcher and the "Sundial" portable quasi-artillery, and played an extremely good role on the front battlefield.

"The solid 'Ston' material has been widely used in the production of armor and protective equipment, and the 'Air Series' and 'Wa Series' bombs have been put into use. Here, I would like to affirm the ingenious idea of ​​Moren, the chief executive of 'New Wind Town'. In early March, facing the 'New Wind Careless Wave' initiated by the evil Lost Ones of the 'Corona Association', he creatively used 'thermite incendiary bombs' and a combination of artillery and bombs to carry out all-round firepower coverage. "What I want to emphasize is that after so many years of resource development by Viking predecessors and me, the Federation is no longer short of important resources. Our current task is to completely eliminate every 'careless person' in the Federation and persuade all Lost Ones who accept the Federation's ideas to surrender, so as to end the Wasteland Era as soon as possible and usher in a new 'Restart Era'.

"Since the resource production reported by various places is in large quantities every year, we should manufacture as many weapons and ammunition as possible, and use saturation firepower attacks as much as possible. Don't be so petty. People who are stingy will never achieve anything great."

Vasily coughed a few times and paused. He looked at the chief executives of the two resource and production centers of Koenig and Rus Provinces and cast a stern look at them. After several seconds, he took out another document and continued:
"Over the past six months, overall, the battle situation in various places has shown a 'stable and improving' trend. In the west, although several large waves of 'careless people' at the beginning and middle of the year caused a large number of [fighters] in Koenig Province and South Karlov District to move west and north, the enemy only managed to attack in a panic and fell into the large pocket formation we set up.

"Although we lost most of the port of Robeck, one-third of central Koenig, the city of Budadi, and a large amount of land west of Mayan City to Volga City, we successfully recovered a large number of settlements in the southeast of the North Karlov Special District and the southwest of the Arctic Special District-Old South District last month, and successfully relied on the Gnadzi Defense Line to enter a consumption mode with the enemy.

"In the south, we successfully regained control of the 'Linbian-Mayan Express Line', temporarily opened up the material trading channel from Linbian City to Zhinetsk, and successfully reestablished contact with the Zhinet people after nearly twenty years of severance. In addition, the first batch of official trade with the Zhinet people has been successfully delivered. By the way, it is worth mentioning that just two months ago, our Nantoya Port welcomed a ship named 'Continental Explorer 5' that arrived here from the Putoya Federation. The Putoya people on the ship went through five years of hardships and dangers before they were able to contact us."

At this point, whether out of true emotion or the need for speech, Vasily's voice was a little choked, and he paused for a few seconds. A few crystal tears actually seeped out of the corners of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks, across his slightly round face, and the old claw marks that extended from his ears to his face.

Seeing that the supreme leader of the federation and the only supreme chief executive was "impressed" by the persistence and courage of the Putoyan people, the local administrative and military chiefs present, these "old foxes" took out their handkerchiefs or took off their glasses and began to pretend to wipe their tears, and some even "could not help" and burst into tears.

After five or six minutes, these people quickly calmed down after Kuka's "kind" reminder.

After wiping away the almost disappeared tears that were almost flowing down his chin, Vasily cleared his throat and continued:
"In the north, we have successfully repaired roads such as 'K-10', 'K-12', 'K-I01', 'K-I0', 'K-100' and 'K-101' leading to the 'Five Great Cities', 'Artificial Lake Battlefield' and 'Mog Yazhetsk'. As we all know, since the advent of the Steam Age, more and more resources have been discovered in the North, that is, the Arctic Special Zone. The reconstruction of these road networks will not only help to combat the Lost Organization and independent armed forces, but also provide a steady supply of raw materials for subsequent wars and scientific projects such as the 'Evolution Platform'.

"Of course, just last month, we also achieved the only major victory against the Lost Organization this year, which was the victory of the 'Deep Bitterness' battle at the 'Artificial Lake' battlefield!"

When Vasily announced this precious victory, his tone was particularly high and intense, and his face showed excitement and ecstasy that could not be concealed. He deliberately looked at Yaroslav who was sitting in the first three rows, smiled at him and nodded vigorously, then continued:
“The specific course and results of the battle will be described by Commander-in-Chief Yaroslav after my report is finished.

"Next is the eastern battlefield. Although there are not many complicated situations in the east this year and the overall results are not very good, we have still made some positive progress. Although we have not received any news about the Aventlai area since the 150th year of the new era, and the entire east of the Nebusk Plain has almost become a no-man's land, our steadfast federal [warriors] in Cruz have never given up there.

"In the nine months since the beginning of the year, we have successfully rebuilt Yongchi Town and completely repaired the 'Ka-Yong Special Line' railway that was previously destroyed by the 'Heartless People'. We have also successfully sent an expedition team to the abandoned area of ​​​​Nanwuhata City, and for the first time successfully entered several small towns in the western part of the Avintlai area, and are trying to build settlements.

"I believe that in the near future, after the 'Evolution Platform Project' is a perfect success, we will be able to completely reconstruct the [order] within Cruzde and rebuild the long-deserted Aventre area!"

　Thank you Mimo for the 2 monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation to continue updating.
