On August 16, the sky was clear and the weather was clear.
Jiang Yue led the team to Yuncheng, and everything was done in secret without any fanfare. Even the other teams from the Central South Region didn't know where Jiang Yue was leading his team.
Director Liao of the Western Frontier Region and He Jin of Hengcheng conducted recruitment through official documents from the joint command group.
The trip to Yuncheng was also by transport plane. It took less than two hours by plane and the team arrived at Yuncheng smoothly.
Jiang Yue divided the team into two parts, with the largest group going to the Yuncheng stronghold. Jiang Yue, on the other hand, took a few people and continued to take the plane to survey the situation around Yuncheng.
Of all the big cities in the Western Frontier Region, Yuncheng can be said to be the frontline and the most forward line of defense.
The plane flew over Cloud City, heading towards the area ruled by the Weird Tree. What we saw along the way was obviously much more depressing and tragic.
The war had obviously reached the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding countryside was almost deserted, with only dense vegetation occupied by strange trees.
Originally, the Western Region was sparsely populated, but in the area occupied by the Weird Tree, this was even more obvious.
On the plane, what you see is almost endless green forests. The tall trees are like a green ocean with no end in sight, completely swallowing up the earth.
This kind of cover that never sees the light of day makes it uninhabitable for humans. Apart from these trees and weeds, it is probably impossible for any crops to grow in this environment.
Traces of human life are completely covered, just like the virgin forest that has been deserted for tens of thousands of years and has never been inhabited.
Only occasionally, a broken corner of some tall buildings will appear in a corner, telling people that this was not a virgin forest in the past, but a place where humans lived, and it was also a relatively lively place.
As the plane moved forward, it was obvious that the fog around it began to become thicker, and everyone's vision was also obviously affected.
The mist had a strange green color, as if it could corrode the air. As the plane approached, various alarms appeared on the instrument panel.
When Jiang Yue saw this, he knew that he could no longer move forward or get any closer. He would really break into the core control area of the Weird Tree.
"Turn around." Jiang Yue greeted.
The plane circled in the sky and chose to turn around and leave.
Of course, it was still early, so Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he flew around in all directions according to the map instructions.
After this flight, Jiang Yue basically grasped the situation. Jiang Yue also had a rough idea of where the Weird Tree's control area was approaching, where the sense of crisis was greater, and where the defense was tighter.
Almost all frontline fortresses are guarded by teams.
The military in the Western Frontier Region has invested a considerable price and is very determined to defend Yuncheng.
However, judging from the current situation, the human side is still at a disadvantage after all. Although it is determined, the feeling of difficulty is visible to the naked eye.
.
After all, this is a war of attrition that looks like a bottomless pit.
No one knows how much financial and material resources will be invested in the end, and how many lives will be lost in order to bring the situation under control.
Even if the military is rich and powerful, the current situation can only barely support and stabilize the situation, and there is no counterattack at all.
A joint command group was established, and Jiang Yue moved into Yuncheng as the executive director. According to his authority, he should have the highest command authority in the war against the Strange Tree.
Including the military and other operational departments stationed in Yuncheng, they must obey the command of the joint command group. The top commander of the joint command team in Star City is Jiang Yue.
In other words, Jiang Yue has now transformed into the most powerful person in Yuncheng.
And all this, the joint command team has informed all the garrisoned forces here in the form of official documents.
Jiang Yue has the highest authority to command all units and individuals. All organizations and individuals must unconditionally accept Jiang Yue's instructions during this operation.
Because Jiang Yue represents the joint command group.
The joint command group is the highest authority organization for the Tianfa Operation established by the Central Committee.
Of course, with Jiang Yue's personal qualifications, it stands to reason that he would not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers of all walks of life. And Song Youguang, Mr. Song, was called a consultant, but in fact he gave Jiang Yue a platform.
Song Youguang, Mr. Song, is Mr. Su from the center.
How could such a veteran dare to challenge Jiang Yue? Who dares to disobey orders? Who dares to question Jiang Yue's existence?
During the flight, Jiang Yue kept reading and memorizing, and did not express too many personal opinions.
Also brought by Jiang Yue was Tong Feifei.
Jiang Yue specially brought Tong Feifei with him in this Heavenly Expedition in order to take advantage of his powerful spiritual attributes, especially his dream prophecy talent.
In Jiang Yue's view, Tong Feifei's skill is likely to be a key to breaking the game.
Mr. Song was actually on the plane, but he kept his eyes closed and meditated, not wanting to affect the young team because of his special status.
However, although Mr. Song had his eyes closed, he had been observing Jiang Yue and his team.
Although the team was silent all the way, it did not mean that these young people would just sink and lie down.
Everyone seemed to be observing carefully and their minds were running at high speed.
It wasn't until the plane started to return to the station that Jiang Yue smiled and asked, "Fei Fei, how do you feel?"
"One word, miserable."
Tong Feifei sighed: "I originally thought that our Star City has been tortured enough by the weird tree. Compared with this, we are nothing."&
amp;lt;/p>
"It may be an exaggeration to say that there is no human habitation for thousands of miles, but in the area controlled by the strange tree, human civilization is completely annihilated as if it has been formatted. I am thinking about those people who have weak fighting spirit and still want to fish and lie down. People who are ordinary should be airdropped into this area. Let them understand what it means to be at the end of the road and what it means to be in a desperate situation!"
This is truly a desperate situation.
Without the tragedy of hell, everything seems ordinary, but under that green patch of despair, covered with traces of human activities and erased human civilization, how much blood, how much cruelty, how much despair, how much death is hidden?
I'm afraid no one can get accurate data.
But behind it, there is undoubtedly a silent hell.
Liao Chu was also in the flight team and said in a dark tone: "As a member of the Western Region, I feel it more deeply than you. This land swallowed by the strange tree contains my hometown. That beautiful countryside can no longer be found in the territory of the Western Frontier Region. The houses built by the villagers and the cattle and sheep raised can no longer be seen."
As a spiritual awakener, Zuo Wujiang was also on the plane.
Originally, he was a person who was awakened by the people and had never cared much about national affairs, and his daily mentality was also biased towards the assertion of self-rights.
But Zuo Wujiang was also deeply shocked by what he saw and heard during the flight just now.
If we don’t fight the Weird Trunk to the end, wouldn’t the current Western Region be the future of Star City?
If all parts of the country were really connected by strange trees, would there be room for human beings to survive?
"Sir Director, I believe everyone is well aware of the dangers of the strange tree. But how to fight this next battle is the most important thing."
How to fight this battle? In fact, the joint command team's first meeting has already finalized the general strategy.
Of course, Jiang Yue doesn't intend to talk about it in a big way now.
Jianbi Qingye can be said in only four words, but if it really needs to be unfolded and implemented, it cannot be summed up in a few words.
"Mr. Song, let's go back to the base first? Do you have any instructions?" Jiang Yue asked proactively.
Song Youguang chuckled: "Director Jiang, my old man is just a consultant to help you. You are the executive director, and you have all the commanding power. You don't need to consult me, an old man, for my opinion on these little things."
Hearing Mr. Song say this, Tong Feifei and others felt honored, and felt that Jiang Yue's strength and status were now extraordinary.
Even Mr. Song from the center actually gave in to Jiang Yue.
The station chosen by Jiang Yue was not far from the original Yuncheng Defense Command Center.
Of course, Jiang Yue did not choose the original command center. That was because Jiang Yue felt that this command center was not close enough to the front line. It could even be said to be a bit far.
The site selection was also a bit too conservative.
Although the location of the command center may not be crucial to the battle situation. &
lt;/p>
The choice of location represents a certain subtle attitude and a certain determination.
The area Jiang Yue chose this time was an area particularly close to the front line.
And all this, Song Youguang and Mr. Song still did not object, but just acquiesced to it all with a smile.
The core personnel of the original command center of Yuncheng were naturally the military and political representatives of Yuncheng, as well as the Yuncheng Operations Bureau and other armed departments, including some civil awakeners and so on.
After being balanced, people from all walks of life formed the personnel structure of the command center.
The core ones giving orders are the ruler of Yuncheng and the two combat leaders, one is the commander of the 93rd Army stationed in Yuncheng, and the other is the director of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau.
In addition, there are several sub-level figures who together form the core members of the command center.
Jiang Yue's airborne landing was actually an impact on the power of the command center.
If we think according to conventional thinking, this method of parachute power grabbing is taboo in itself and can easily lead to discord and even internal strife due to power grabbing.
Although the establishment of the joint command group was the will of the Central Committee, it also had the support of the Central Committee behind it.
But Jiang Yue, the executive director, originally had too mediocre qualifications, so it was no easy task to suppress these former command center bosses.
Of course Mr. Song knew this very well, and he actually wanted to see how Jiang Yue would deal with this situation.
Although dealing with the strange tree is the top priority right now, everyone should obey the overall situation.
But theory is theory, but people's hearts are still people's hearts.
For these powerful elders, who are the most powerful on a daily basis, to obey the command of an airborne young man, this is by no means something that can be convinced by just taking the overall situation into consideration.
After arriving at the station, the logistics team members had already made preliminary preparations. Others also perform their duties.
As one of the few people in the team who was familiar with official procedures, Liao Chu was naturally responsible for liaising with various people in the original command center.
Senior Sister Luo Siying used to do some liaison work in the university student union, and she assisted Zuo Liao in handling these government affairs.
The official letter from the joint command team was quickly delivered to the original command center.
This is a meeting notice, and the time is set at three o'clock in the afternoon. The location is where the Star City team is stationed. This place originally belonged to the office of a certain street in Yuncheng.
There is a five-story office building. A hundred meters away from the office building, there is a chain hotel. The Sunshine Times is at the level of Samsung at most.
However, it can just meet the functions of office and residence for the Star City team.
Of course, Jiang Yue valued this place not just because of these.
There was a reason why he chose this place. This place is backed by Yuncheng's famous Baizhang Mountain, and in front is by Yuncheng's famous Juanyun River. The geographical location is relatively open, making it easy to deploy defenses and observe the front line.
Here is the original command center
, perhaps there are various criticisms about Jiang Yue's airborne appointment as executive director.
But official things must be done thoughtfully.
Daily reception, security team, etc. must be in place.
Of course, the materials originally promised to Jiang Yue by the commander-in-chief will continue to be transported through various channels.
Including combat supplies, living supplies, as well as the mobilization of people and horses from all aspects, etc., they will all be in place in the next few days.
In the original command center, there were a total of twenty or thirty people who received the meeting notice. In addition to a few recognized elders in the previous command center, there were also some commanders who were fighting on the front line and were also notified.
Ou Lin, the leader of Yuncheng City, played with the tea cup playfully: "Director Jiang, after all, is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. The location of this new command center is really risky. This is the will of the joint command team, we have to It will be carried out to the letter. Once the notice is announced, we will prepare everything. We will have to move in the next two days."
When Ou Lin heard what he said, he didn't seem to be in a sinister tone, and he sounded like he was willing to obey the overall situation.
However, Wu Yongda, the director of Yuncheng's Operations Bureau, said: "It's hard to say whether such rashness is a good thing or a bad thing. I have never been beaten by a strange tree before, so I don't know how high the sky is. If I have suffered a few losses, maybe I will." Be honest."
A soldier frowned and said, "Old Wu, please stop saying sour words. His qualifications clearly stated that in Star City in the Central and South Region, the power of a single blow competed with the weird tree. At least the weird tree in Star City is When he suppresses it, nothing overflows.”
Judging from his military rank, this soldier is obviously Hao Jintai, commander of the 93rd Army.
Commander Hao waved his hand: "Our military must support Director Jiang Yue. This site selection is very bold. The current situation in Yuncheng requires this kind of courage. It's just for show. If he can hold on and never retreat, I Everyone in the 93 army respects him as a man!"
These three are the absolute bosses. Others do not have the power to say what they want. Although they have their own thoughts, they are not in a hurry to express them. Instead, he silently observed the reactions of the three elders and made the next decision based on the reactions of the elders.
