The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 53: Briefing in the Capital

The capital, the deepest part of the underground shelter.

A large-scale briefing meeting held by the central government for the first time after the biological disaster was being held, with a total of thirty-seven people participating. This included several big bosses from the military and the main heads of several key government departments. The person presiding over the meeting was Mr. Zhang, the current supreme leader.

"...The development of vaccines still takes time, but the zombies don't have much time left for us. From yesterday afternoon to now, three official rescue bases have been breached in less than a day. Although these bases The scale is very small, even the largest county-level camp only has 200 people, but this has sounded a warning to us. If we do not take decisive and effective measures, the situation will become increasingly critical with the rapid increase of second-level zombies. ”

The person designated to speak finished speaking, closed the folder and retreated.

While there was no one on the stage, there was a slight commotion in the always peaceful venue. Many people were exchanging their opinions privately, but without exception, their faces showed seriousness and anxiety.

None of the news that came out in the past two days was good, so it was no wonder that their faces looked ugly.

Mr. Zhang glanced majestically, coughed a few times and then said in a deep voice: "If you have any opinions, just mention them directly. There is no need to say them below."

Lieutenant General Li of the military had already had a deal with the boss before he came. He stood up first and said: "According to the information we have, the average ability of second-level zombies has completely exceeded that of humans. But as long as we can concentrate firepower or use With some heavy weapons, it’s not difficult to eliminate them. Hundreds of second-level zombies have appeared outside our capital base, but they have not caused any threat to the base’s defense!”

"That's because the defense capability of the capital base is too strong!" Someone whispered.

With hundreds of thousands of elite troops and equipped with countless tanks, aircraft and missiles, if the capital base can't even deal with these zombies, then there's no need to mess around.

Of course Mr. Zhang knew this, so what Lieutenant General Li said was as if he had not said it yet.

"I suggest that rescue bases below the municipal level be abandoned, but there is no need to force evacuation."

The people from the General Staff put forward their opinions. Generally speaking, municipal bases have the shadow of the military to some extent, with the presence of troops and armed police systems. The security level of the base is much higher than that of small camps.

"Can."

Some people agreed one after another. Mr. Zhang thought for a while and agreed.

"Next is the news from Jiuquan. At nine o'clock this morning, the central government and the people staying at the Jiuquan Satellite Base lost contact. A nearby base urgently dispatched a reconnaissance team, but unfortunately encountered a large group of zombie birds on the way. Four Three helicopters were damaged and only one managed to return."

"What?"

Compared to the previous news, this news is even more shocking.

The central government can still control the overall situation, and the important reason for comprehensive deployment is the existence of satellites. Once there is a problem with the ground workstation at the Jiuquan base, many satellites still operating in the sky will lose control. Although it can still run for the time being, the continuous working time will undoubtedly be greatly shortened. If something goes wrong, the central government will lose control of the overall situation. At that time, will the rescue bases in various places have any thoughts that they shouldn't have...

The possible impact of this incident is immeasurable!

"We must send people immediately to seize it again."

Mr. Zhang immediately gave instructions, but the news still made him a little uneasy. Fortunately, there are similar bases in Xichang and Wenchang. A Jiuquan cannot completely explain anything.

"There is news from abroad that the Indian Asans can't hold on any longer. Yesterday, their military was preparing to use small tactical nuclear weapons with a yield of 10,000 tons, but it seemed to be rejected in the end."

The person who spoke was a military spokesman. It seemed that he had no good impression of India, and his tone was a bit gloating.

This news has aroused the vigilance of many people.

In any case, India and China are neighbors. If they use nuclear weapons, it might affect their neighbors. Although this time it is only a small nuclear weapon with an yield of 10,000 tons, they may not dare to use real atomic bombs once this is started.

Nuclear weapons are a real Pandora's box. Once used, no one can predict the consequences!

"Why are we going to use nuclear bombs now?"

Although there was this information on Mr. Zhang's desk, he didn't have time to look at it, so he only found out about it.

"I heard that their predecessors and predecessor No. 1 have all turned into zombies, and the military system and government have been paralyzed several times. The person in charge of the Indian department of our Interim Intelligence Service also discovered a major incident from satellite photos. Last night, the New Delhi garrison There was an earth-shattering explosion in the largest arsenal, and it was estimated that the shock could be felt thirty kilometers away. It seems that the Asans could not bear it any longer, so they came up with the idea of ​​using nuclear weapons, but in the end they had not yet made up their mind.

"Really? I thought it would be the Americans who couldn't bear to use nuclear weapons first."

A younger lieutenant general shrugged. He usually likes to eat curry.

"They are so courageous! The radiation caused by nuclear weapons itself can cause genetic mutation. Aren't Indians afraid of those damn zombies mutating again?" The temporary Prime Minister also spoke.

Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said: "Continue to pay attention to this matter. If we find any signs that they have used nuclear weapons, we will report it immediately."

The meeting was followed by some unimportant matters, but in just ten minutes, the meeting room fell into a brief silence. All the news that needed to be said had been said, but the people attending the meeting clearly felt that Mr. Zhang seemed to have something else to say, so they all sat quietly in their seats waiting. After being in the system for so long, what they lacked the least was patience.

However, Mr. Zhang hesitated for only one minute.

He pushed away the microphone in front of him, stood up and said the biggest reason for holding this briefing: "Just two and a half hours ago, Chen Gaoyang, the commander of the provincial military region of Andu Base, unilaterally revoked the positions of the governor and secretary of the provincial party committee of Andu Province without the permission of the central government, and took full control of the power of Andu Base."

The last news was like a heavy bomb, which made everyone present fall into a long period of astonishment.

"This is treason!"

A big man who had a relationship with Chen Gaoyang was shocked at first, and then he slammed the table first. Maybe he was really indignant, or just showing a gesture. But it didn't matter, because everyone present spoke up immediately.

"Old Chen is crazy! Is he planning a rebellion?"

"Who gave him the right? The central government must take immediate action and never let this trend spread!"

"Send the internal guards and send him to a military court!"

The crowd was excited!

In an instant, Chen Gaoyang became the target of public criticism and the culprit who committed all kinds of crimes!

Some radical people even proposed to directly mobilize the garrison troops in the capital, while clearing the railway, and going south to "suppress the rebellion"!

Suppress the rebellion?

Zhang Lao looked at the man and sneered in his heart. It turned out that he had always been at odds with the Yang family, no wonder he said that.

"Chen Gaoyang is not an impulsive person, and he has never had any selfish motives. I know this. Perhaps there was a hardship that made him rashly take such radical actions." Another general named Peng spoke up. He also came from a red family and had a pivotal position in the central government. At this time, only a big man like him dared to speak impartially.

"We don't know the specific reason yet, but we are trying to contact Andu Base."

Mr. Zhang's words calmed everyone down a little. It was unwise to speak rashly before the matter was clear.

"What should we do? There must be a countermeasure first. I'm afraid that other provincial bases will know about this soon, and they are probably all craning their necks to see the reaction of our central government."

This is true.

Mr. Zhang certainly knew this, but he also understood that the central government really couldn't come up with any substantial punishment measures now. It was unrealistic to send troops to attack. The only possible thing was a small-scale notification and punishment, and at the same time, the airdrop assistance to Andu Base was stopped - although only a symbolic batch of supplies had been dropped since the zombie outbreak. This punishment was not painful for Andu Base, and it only represented an attitude.

"Andu Base is connected!"

At this moment, the sudden news made the whole audience quiet down.

Just a few minutes ago, Chen Gaoyang took the initiative to send an explanation, saying that Wade Quan, the secretary of the Andu Province, colluded with the governor to embezzle and corrupt, used his power to seek personal gain for his own people, and passively resisted the zombies. In order to ensure his own safety, he did not take limited actions until half a month after the outbreak of the biochemical crisis. Considering the future of the Andu base, he had to take some "radical" actions.

The previous treasonous behavior seemed to have turned into selflessness in the blink of an eye.

Chen's allies got the news and immediately stood up to counterattack: "Comrade Chen Gaoyang was also forced to do it. Everything is Wadequan's fault!"

"Extraordinary measures should be taken in extraordinary times. Old Chen's behavior is justifiable!"

Several people who opposed the Wei faction found an opportunity and immediately jumped out: "Wadequan is greedy for life and afraid of death. He discredits the party and the central government. Such a person should not continue to stay in his position!"

"Wadequan deserves to die!"

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Zhang Lao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that he was dealing with zombies well, but once he involved his own people, he immediately started fighting internally. In the Celestial Empire, it is really not easy to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

However, he still has to make an explanation for this matter.
