Chapter 274 The situation on December 914, 12
On December 914, 12, the day before the Western Front launched its counteroffensive, St. Catherine's Castle was in front of the former Civil War Exhibition Hall.

Wang Zhong's car originally planned to enter through the main entrance, but when he drove to No. 10 Heping Road, where the exhibition hall is located, he saw that the entire road was packed.

The judge leading the way stopped the car and sent someone to knock on Wang Zhong's car window.

Wang Zhong opened the window, but the north wind from outside came in.

He had to squint his eyes and ask the judge: "How do you say it?"

"It is recommended to take the additional entrance to the underground fortifications, Your Excellency General."

Wang Zhong: "Lead the way."

----

The entrance to the underground fortifications is in an unassuming private house three blocks away.

There is a large iron door directly in the cellar of a private house, and there are jars for pickling sauerkraut and cucumbers next to it.

Wang Zhong: "Prossen is the command center after he invades the Yebao and enters the street fighting, right? I understand."

"She's hosting the interview for new recruits down below." The lady raised her head, "Would you like coffee or tea?"

Then there was a grinding noise from inside as the door latch was being pulled open - not a mechanical noise at all.

Wang Zhong: "No, being able to stop the Pulosen people is the result of the whole army fighting together to the end."

The lady nodded, picked up the plate and walked to the tea room.

Inquisitor: "Because of your efforts, this place is now a warehouse."

On the other hand, this is so reliable!
After entering the door, there is a huge long corridor, and this corridor is still W-shaped, with machine guns at every turn.

Next, a group of people went straight to the fifth floor and walked towards Wang Zhong's office.

Wang Zhong: "I haven't visited the underground structure yesterday. Today I saw that the standards of this place are a bit high."

You shouldn't have too high expectations for Ante's technical level.

After saying that, Wang Zhong saw the elevator and took the lead to press the button.

Wang Zhong: "Think about Aksiniya, don't touch other people's wives."

The inquisitor who led the way immediately introduced: "This was originally the refuge and command center in the event of something unexpected happening to Ye Fort."

This thing seems to be built according to the specifications of the Doomsday Fortress, and it is suitable to be placed as the final level in the game.

The judges stopped going in after they arrived at the door, and Gregory sat down on the sofa.

Wang Zhong thought this was some advanced way of calling the door, but the judge who led the way went up and knocked on the iron door. Then a small window opened on the iron door, and someone looked out of the window.

The large room next to the office was already filled with the clicking sound of typewriters.

As soon as he opened the door of the office, he saw that Ms. Ai's seat was empty. Wang Zhong hurriedly asked the lady who was sorting the documents on the table: "Where is Ms. Ai?"

Wang Zhong nodded: "Black tea."

After walking down the long passage, Wang Zhong entered a place that looked like an underground command center, but this center was now filled with files and exhibits taken from landmarks.

The female secretaries hired by Ms. Ellie are all married ladies with husbands.

Gregory: "I still have some requirements for women's appearance. Don't worry, General."

Wang Zhong entered the office, took off his coat and military cap and handed them to Vasily.

While putting these on the hanger, Vasily complained: "Why don't you bring Neli to do this kind of thing? She was the one who did it when we were at the division headquarters!"

Wang Zhong: "This is the job of the adjutant! As for letting Nellie come here to work - it's not impossible. I'm almost tired of seeing the aunties that Ms. Ellie has brought."

Vasily: "Yes, yes! Let Neli come! But there's a problem with her coming. She shouldn't be able to reach the place where the fur is put, so she needs to prepare a box."

Wang Zhong also smiled: "Indeed."

Then the two of them laughed heartlessly together - Wang Zhong's physical age was not much older than Vasily's, and he was already within the range of being good friends.

Wang Zhong came to the office and looked down from the window facing the main entrance square. The dense crowds of people reminded him of various tourist attractions during the long vacation before the time travel.

"There are actually more people applying for the job than there are conscripts." He muttered.

At this time, the aunt opened the door and pushed the trolley in. On it were black tea cups and tea sets.

"Put it there, we can pour it when we want to drink it later." Wang Zhong ordered, and the aunt bowed and left the room.

Vasily waited until his aunt left before teasing: "Your Majesty, this is too obvious. You don't even want to hide it."

Wang Zhong forced himself to continue the topic: "There are actually more people applying for the job than there are conscripts!"

Vasily: "There are many girls who will not be drafted. After all, nurses and health workers need to be physically strong, otherwise they cannot carry the wounded. Female snipers and female pilots also have requirements..."

At this time the door opened and Ms. Ellie came in.

Wang Zhong: "How is the recruitment going?"

"I'm just here to report this." Ms. Ai Li gave Wang Zhong a meaningful look, and then opened the roster she brought with her. "I originally planned to recruit wives who have nothing to do at home, as well as clerks at all levels. Madam, the situation is very different from what I expected.”

Wang Zhong: "In and out?"

Ms. Ellie: "The vast majority of applicants are female college students and girls who graduated from accounting majors in vocational and technical schools. The good news is that most of them are proficient in using typewriters and have enough education to complete various paperwork.

"The bad news is that most of them have impure motives." Wang Zhong: "Assign them to work in the offices below the fourth floor. If they can't reach me, it will be over. From now on, I will take the elevator and go underground when entering and leaving."

Ms. Ellie: “Isn’t it a bit too convoluted?”

Wang Zhong: "Isn't this convenient for you to complete your mission?"

"Thank you for your understanding." Ms. Ellie bowed slightly, then flipped through the roster in her hand, "The recruitment work on the men's side went smoothly, but most of the employees are elderly, and most of them were evacuated from occupied areas. I came here, but I can’t join the army because of my age.”

Wang Zhong: "Isn't this great? The middle-aged uncle has rich experience."

Ms. Ally: "They may not be able to adapt to high-intensity work."

Wang Zhong: "Then add more employees. In this situation, hiring more people will be good for the stability of Yebao."

Ms. Ellie quickly wrote something in the notebook, and then continued: "Also, volunteers from the Air Force began to open the letters they received, and each one was assigned a typist so that they could first Time to turn their opinions into written documents. The first batch of documents should be sent today. Do you want to see them all?”

Wang Zhong: "No, let's do a summary and make a statistical analysis of the responses. We give priority to the issues with the most responses from the front lines."

Ms. Ellie: "Then we need to recruit students from the mathematics department."

Wang Zhong: "Students from the mathematics department have been recruited to crack the Prosin Enigma machine. You can find someone from accounting or auditing students to do statistical analysis."

"Okay." Ms. Ai completed her shorthand and looked at Wang Zhong, "Any other instructions?"

"No, bring me the documents that need my signature today. I'm going to give a lecture at school in the afternoon."

"learn."

Ms. Ellie bowed and left.

Vasily: "Kubinka should have sent the captured Prosen tanks to the school. I don't know how they are doing their own research."

Wang Zhong: "Let us inspect the students majoring in tank command this afternoon to see how much understanding they have."

----

When Wang Zhong arrived at the school, students from the tank command department were conducting confrontation exercises with Prosen tanks and T34s on the tank training ground, shooting paint bombs.

Wang Zhong decisively climbed up to the observation tower next to the training ground to watch the show.

He climbed up the tower, raised his binoculars, and from all angles he saw that the blue team playing Prossen was splitting into two groups, outflanking the red team of the T34 regular type.

The response of the T34 group is to tighten the defense, control the direction of the turret, and let the vehicles compensate for each other's blind spots.

However, most of the red team's dye bombs hit the ground, while the blue team's dye bombs could always accurately hit the T34's turret seat and tracks.

Wang Zhong watched for about half an hour before the confrontation commander fired a signal flare, presumably to announce the end of this round of confrontation.

The students participating in the exercise drove the tank back to the parking lot.

Wang Zhong saw several tanks broken down in the exercise field, including No. 34 and T.

Seeing that the students were lining up to give comments, Wang Zhong took Vasily down the tower and walked towards the assembled team.

The sharp-eyed instructor saw Wang Zhong from a distance and gave the command to take a break. Then he ran to Wang Zhong and stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the principal, we have just finished the confrontation exercise and are giving a review."

Wang Zhong: "How was the result of the exercise?"

Instructor: "The blue team has four wins and one loss."

Wang Zhong: "Not bad. How did you play the game that the red team won?"

Instructor: "In the game just now, the blue team adopted the old tactics from the previous game. The red team formed a dense formation, coordinated the direction of the turrets through radio, and alerted each other to blind spots."

Wang Zhong quickly looked at the T34s lined up in the parking lot and found that they were all platoon vehicles and had radios.

Wang Zhong: "This is not possible. During the next exercise, only the platoon leader's vehicle is allowed to use the radio. Non-platoon leader vehicles must turn off the radio. They cannot listen or speak."

"Yes!"

After speaking, Wang Zhong went straight to the students and asked loudly: "Have you realized the advantages of the Prosen tank?"

"I feel it!" the students responded in unison.

Then Maslow Boyev said loudly: "But T34 is just damaged, it can be used after repair!"

Wang Zhong: "Indeed. But on the battlefield, who can repair tanks depends on who controls the battlefield after the battle. We have basically been retreating in the past six months, so those T34s that were stuck in the turret seats and broke the tracks All were completely lost.

"They are very likely to be captured by Prosen, and even painted with Prosen's logo, and join the Prosen army to fight against us."

Wang Zhong paused and asked: "I'm very happy that the red team won a round of confrontation. Who is the commander of the red team in this round?"

Masloboev raised his hand: "Me!"

Wang Zhong: "Great! You found a way to deal with the T34's poor vision: assign each tank a warning zone. I did the same in the Orachi Ambush. I will write about the Orachi Ambush. This booklet will be printed and distributed to you.

"But this formation of guarding each other's blind spots has huge flaws. Did you know, Maslow?"

Maslow replied: "Yes, the formation is too rigid and is only suitable for defense. It is too difficult to use it for offense."

Wang Zhong added: "Especially when only the platoon leader's car has a radio. By the way, the quality of Ant's radio is very poor, and my adjutant Vasily has a say in this."

Vasily: "Eh? Should I say that? Well, the main reason for the radio we produce is that the battery is too bad, and it also has the disadvantage of low reliability."

Wang Zhong: "Thank you Vasily for your explanation. Next, everyone who has used Prosen tanks will talk about the advantages of these tanks."
