Book 3: Chapter 93: Preparations before war
After Shao Qing recruited all the higher ups, she held a meeting first. At this time, the city was already in chaos. After all, since they came to Jiangcheng, it was the first time they heard the alarm bell ringing. It was inevitable that some people would be worried.
Shao Qing also did not step forward to appease them in the first place, so the city was a little messy. Fortunately, the residents of Jiangcheng have always been more disciplined. After a little chaos, they quickly stabilized.
Because they knew that Shao Qing would definitely give them an explanation.
Shao Qing was now in a hurry for a meeting. She simply said what she knew, then said: “Twelve survivor bases, this time it will definitely not be as easy to deal with as last time. Furthermore, the black hand behind the scenes must already have a certain understanding on how to resolve Jiangcheng’s current strength. This time, it is very likely that the black hand behind the scenes will confront Jiangcheng head-on. We don’t have any help, we can only rely on ourselves. Everything will be up to us whether we live or die. Now hearing this, if you have any suggestions, please speak up.”
As Shao Qing’s No. 1 fan, Mulin took the lead and raised her hand: “This is a foregone conclusion. There is no thinking of going to a peaceful resolution, only fighting. So when proposing, I think we should give some suggestions about the next battle, no need to talk about nonsense.”
A Qin family senior couldn’t help saying : “Is there no other way? If you really fight with them, the outcome is likely to be a loss for both sides. Then the one who benefits the most will be the person behind the scenes.”
“I said it before. They have now cooperated with the person behind the scenes. They will not listen. When people are distracted by riches and benefits, they can’t listen to any reason. What they are thinking now is to plunder Jiangcheng. We can’t be swallowed by others, so we can only defeat them.” Shao Qing said calmly: “This war is unavoidable, as Mulin said, when everyone makes suggestions, try to focus on this aspect.”
There was a moment of silence on the scene. After the silence, everyone became firm. Jiangcheng was their home. Now someone wants to destroy their home and plunder everything that belongs to them. They would be stupid if they didn’t resist.
Although they didn’t want to fight their same kind, they had the others butcher knives on their necks. They have to fight, and can only fight. “
Actually, it is very unfavorable for us. Although we are the home field, we have no backup and no retreat. We can only defend Jiangcheng, but they can rely on twelve survivor bases behind them.” Yan Qiyue analyzed slowly: “If possible, we can attack their lair from behind, to relieve a besieged ally by attacking the home base of the besiegers. However, they have twelve survivor bases. If we only move in on one or two, there is no effect. But moving against twelve at the same time would make it difficult to deal with the enemies who are at our doorstep.”
Shao Qing nodded: “This trick cannot be used until the last moment because everyone knows that in those survivor bases, most of the people in the base were ordinary people. When I act on them, it shows that we are exhausted and at the end of the line.”
After the last incident, Gu Panpan has calmed down a lot. She has matured no matter if it was her talk or her actions. She touched her chin, then said: “Can we fight a protracted battle? Yan river’s toxins are still unclear. They definitely don’t have extra food and grass. If we drag it out, we can completely drag them down.”
“This can be done on paper, but if you think about it, they can also think of what we can think of. They know better than us what they lack, yet they dare to come to Jiangcheng. We are playing on our home base, but where is their confidence coming from?” Shao Qing nodded. Gu Panpan being able to think of this was a great improvement.
Gu Panpan pouted a little decadently: “That’s correct, but we can burn their rations like those ancient TV shows.”
“That is probably not easy to do. They must carry the rations with a superhuman with a space dimension. Do you think it will be piled on the ground for you to burn like in a novel or TV series?” Shao Qing poked her head and laughed: “I just praised you and here you are acting silly again.”
Gu Panpan touched her own head and smirked. She had forgotten this point at time, even if there is no space system superhuman, the other party will definitely arrange a similar spiritual superhuman to guard it.
Mental powers are actually the best at doing this. They only need to open their own powers and surround the place where they store rations. As long as someone touches their barrier, they will be discovered.
It is a dream to want to burn their food after the end of the world.
“I think that the strength of Jiangcheng is actually very strong. In the worst case, we will just fight it out. The twelve survivor bases probably do not have as many high rank superhumans as our city. ” Yan Hanqing said dully.
Shao Qing touched her chin: “You can’t just wait for someone to arrive at your door, then start a fight before you think of a way. You must always think of some countermeasures in advance.”
“Qing Jie, how many people do we even have? Without knowing our numbers, I really can’t think of a good way to do it.” A senior of the Tan family said helplessly.
Shao Qing was helpless: “I didn’t say I wanted you to defeat the twelve survivor bases. At least we should discuss the deployment of defenses and formulate a charter. From now on, strengthen Jiangcheng’s defense and prevent troubles before it happens.”
A group of people breathed a sigh of relief, then began a heated discussion. After the discussion, Shao Qing went out and held a second meeting.
This is the second meeting they have held since Jiangcheng was officially completed. Shao Qing called everyone together. Just like the last time, the second meeting was held in the square.
“Everyone is almost here, right? When you are here, I will tell you everything.” Shao Qing said calmly: “The reason for this meeting is that there will be twelve survivor bases coming, to trouble us. I personally think that Jiangcheng is my home and everyone’s home. If they want to make a move on Jiangcheng, they will have to step over my corpse, but I don’t know how you think about this. The war is about to start. Maybe tomorrow, Jiangcheng will be surrounded, so I need to ask you what you think. If you think it’s dangerous, you can take your family members and leave. I won’t blame you, after all, it’s human nature to avoid harm.”
After a long time, there was no response. They were probably still digesting what Shao Qing said. After a long time, someone came forward. This person was not someone else, but the girl who was harassed, she plucked up the courage and said, “My City Lord, can I say a few words?”
Shao Qing nodded, then the girl spoke, “It has been a long time since the end of the world and this is the first time I feel like I am at home. I had a sister with me before, she was still in Jing Du at that time. She was also ruined by a few superhumans, but no one would help her. In her despair, she became mentally unstable and jumped off a building. At that time, I had no hope for this world. When the previous events happened, I had even thought about it that I had to live through the humiliation because I still had my parents. If I died, what would they do? But the city lord gave me justice. It made me feel that I have really returned to my own home, that I have seniors who would protect me and won’t let me be wronged anymore. Jiangcheng is my home. Although I’m just an ordinary person, I still want to say, this city is where I am, and if this city is dead then I will be dead!”
Those who were still immersed in surprise also slowly woke up.
Most people liked Jiangcheng’s order and stability. Jiangcheng didn’t give them a richer life, but it gave them a stable, dignified life.
Just like the girl said, Jiangcheng is their home. If they don’t maintain it, who will maintain it!
People continued to stand up.
“City Lord, we won’t leave! Even a little girl has the courage to protect her own home. How can we be such cowards? As long as the city is here, we will fight!”
“Jiangcheng is our home, if we really ran away, won’t we be homeless? City lord, tell us what we need to do, just give us the order. There are no softies here! If even our home is ruined, how can we stand upright?”
“Yes, as long as the city is here, we will fight to our deaths. I told my wife that even if one day Jiangcheng was really in danger, our city lord will definitely be in the forefront to protect the whole city. I will stand in front of my wife because I want to protect my wife and my home!”
The whole scene was passionate. One after another words converged into one sentence.
“Jiangcheng will never surrender! If the city is here, I’ll be here. If the city dies, we will die!”
Shao Qing originally just wanted to inform them that when the soldiers came to the city, Jiangcheng was going to be in a mess, but she never expected that they would react like this.
After everyone’s mood at the scene stabilized a little, Shao Qing clapped her hands to quiet them: “Jiangcheng will never give in. Our strength is not weaker than anyone else’s. We are fighting to the death. It will be hard to say whether we will come out victorious or not, but we have to do it. What we need to do now is to increase our chances of victory. From now on, eight more patrol teams will be added to our original patrol units. The patrol range extends from the vicinity of the city to a thousand metres. The reconnaissance team is responsible for watching the surroundings. If you find any changes in the surroundings, you must report back immediately. Those responsible for planting and other aspects should do your job well. If we want to get rid of the outsiders, we must first settle inside. At least it should be the case before the battle begins. At that time, the farms and planting bases will be our lifeblood. We must send more people to protect them to achieve stable harvests. The elderly and children should also take good care of them and strive to completely stabilize everything. This way our winning rate will increase. I only have one sentence to tell everyone: Jiangcheng will win!”
