Chapter 1,215 The Formation of the Northern Division
Ping An Street is the largest survivor settlement in the North of Pan Asia. Although the infrastructure and industrialization level are a bit behind compared to the current Sixth District, considering its population of hundreds of thousands, the development potential is still quite huge. of. Sound of nature
It is precisely for this reason that the selection of the mayor is particularly important.
This candidate must be able to represent the interests of nac, and he must have a sufficient understanding of the situation on Ping An Street. Jiang Chen had considered selecting someone from NAC, but he had never thought of a suitable candidate.
Jiang Chen even considered Zhou Guoping, who was engaged in intelligence work in Shangjing City. However, this person had too much gangsterism and was only suitable for playing a role at the grassroots level, not for high positions, so he gave it a pass.
Sitting in the office that once belonged to Ding Liwei, while Jiang Chen was thinking about this problem, Lu Fan knocked on the door and walked in, giving a military salute.
"Report, the property of Ding Liwei and Wan Peng has been confiscated. A total of five million sub-crystals, a total value of one million high-value luxury goods, and two hundred pieces of various types of equipment such as power armor and mechanical exoskeletons have been seized. We are waiting for you. of disgrace."
"Yajing will bring all of them back to Wanghai City. As for those luxury goods," Jiang Chen touched his chin and made a decision, "Contact the auction house in Beijing. The proceeds from the auction will be used for the Ping'an Street warehouse for post-disaster reconstruction."
"Yes." Lu Fan stood up and said, "There is one more thing that Staff Han asked me to report to you."
"What's going on?" Jiang Chen asked.
"The Russians are evacuating to the Badaling area and have exited outside the Fifth Ring Road."
Jiang Chen nodded.
After coming up from the underground, he had already heard from the people below that Han Junhua ordered the armored troops to break out from the north, detour through the center of the corpse wave along the Third Ring Road, and detonated ten tactical nuclear bombs at the subway station in the middle of Line 27. Turning the entire subway station into a collapsed pit
It's not just the breath of the living that can attract zombies, but also nuclear radiation. Driven by the x1 bacterial instinct, the zombies poured into the tunnel along the deep pit and exploded the anus of the old men. Although zombies are no deterrent to tanks or anything like that, soft targets like soldiers are killed by surprise.
Coupled with the deaths of Yegor and Smirnov, there was a power vacuum at the top of the entire Uelian Border Guard Army, and officers with a little bit of power began to feel restless. Internal problems have emerged intensively, and now they have no energy left to fight against the freed NAC.
Retreating is an inevitable choice.
“Putting aside the issue of the Russians for now,
Jiang Chen looked at Lu Fan, smiled and said, "Let's talk about your affairs." "
"My business?" Lu Fan was stunned for a moment.
"What do you think of our expeditionary force?"
"Already in terms of combat effectiveness"
"Shangjing City is the political center of Pan-Asian cooperation and a former population center. There are countless shelters that have not been opened here, and there are countless pre-war legacies waiting for us to excavate, so," Jiang Chen paused at this point , "I am planning to establish the Northern Division as the fourth division of the NAC. And the candidate for the division commander..."
Tapping his fingers on the table, Jiang Chen looked at the astonished Lu Fan with a smile and said.
"That's you."
…
The strategic significance of Ping An Street needs no elaboration. If it is managed well, it is not impossible to become the second Sixth District. By then, this place will serve as NAC’s strategic fulcrum in the north, radiating the glory of civilization to the surrounding wasteland...
And it is impossible to do this without maintaining sufficient military presence.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Chen had the idea of establishing the Northern Division. It just so happens that after two years of development, NAC has almost recovered some of its vitality, and it is more than enough to maintain the establishment of another division.
Counting the 5,000 soldiers already mobilized by the expeditionary force, and recruiting about 5,000 more from Shangjing City, a division of 10,000 people was created.
As for the candidate for the fourth division, Jiang Chen's first favorite was his personal guard captain Lu Fan.
Although Lu Fan is not a smart person, he is steady, loyal, and has no ambition. To the north of Badaling is the wilderness. Jiang Chen does not need a general who is good at conquering and conquering to open up territory for him here. All he needs is someone who can hold on to the results of this expedition.
And Lu Fan is undoubtedly the best candidate.
When leaving Jiang Chen's office, Lu Fan felt a little dizzy.
Although his current status is not low, as the captain of the Marshal's Guards, even the big guys like Cheng Weiguo, Wang Zhaowu, and Zhao Gang are very polite when they meet him, but he understands very well that that respect means loyalty to him. of the person, not to him.
According to the military system of the NAC military government, there is a gap of two levels between the captain of the Guards and the commander of the division! It’s not like NAC has never been promoted to two levels in a row. The last person to be promoted was on the Order - the captain of the Order also served as the commander of the expeditionary force, Li Wang, who was only half a level behind the division commander!
However, Li Wang became the captain because of his meritorious service in Hongcheng, but he, Lu Fan, seemed to be accompanying the marshal during the entire expedition... at least that's what he thought.
Clenching his fists tightly, Lu Fan took several deep breaths, touched the medal on his chest, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
In order to live up to the promotion of Marshal, he has made up his mind. From now on, he will be 200% energetic and work hard for the stability of NAC Northern Xinjiang. If anyone dares to cause trouble in this land, he will personally lead them to destroy him!
After Lu Fan left, Jiang Chen met with the deputy captain of his personal guard, or the next captain-Zheng Shanhe, in his office. Because he was injured in the battle on Line 0, he still has a bandage on his arm. At this moment, he was designated as the captain of the Guards, and he had a certain demeanor of accepting orders in times of crisis.
Jiang Chen smiled and patted his uninjured shoulder and encouraged him.
"Do a good job! My safety in the future depends on you."
Zheng Shanhe's chest was high and he gave a military salute to Jiang Chen with his face glowing red.
"Promise to complete the mission!"
Without too much nonsense, Jiang Chen put the medal on his hands, then patted him on the shoulder and said some words of encouragement. For the newly appointed Guards Captain, the first task he gave him was to supervise the development of Line 0.
This task can be regarded as a practice, because Han Junhua is in charge of this matter, and basically he only needs to watch from the side.
The reason why this task was given to him was mainly to familiarize him with the work of the captain of the Guards. Although the main responsibility of the Guards is to be responsible for the safety of the Marshal, as the captain of the Guards, his job also includes replacing the Marshal to handle tasks that are inconvenient for the Marshal himself.
After watching Zheng Shanhe leave, Jiang Chen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office and continued to think about the issue that had been bothering him before - the candidate for the mayor of Ping An Street.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, under the Pan-Asia Building, the troops who had withdrawn from Dongcheng Hospital were gathering in the military camp on the square at the entrance of the building, waiting for dispatch from the headquarters.
Looking down at the entire military camp from above, Jiang Chen's heart moved slightly. A perfect candidate suddenly appeared in his mind.
