Tang Zheng was stunned when he heard the news.
Qinzhou Survivor Alliance? When was this established?
Liao Yucheng actually became the Speaker, and now he accepted Liu Yibang's recruitment and became a division commander of the Fifth Army.
Tang Zheng still clearly remembered what happened when he left Qinzhou.
A conflict at the trading conference killed most of the Qinzhou survivor leaders, and a big reshuffle came.
However, Tang Zheng wanted to leave at that time and did not stop in Qinzhou.
In fact, the three biggest beneficiaries of that conflict were Liao Yucheng, Bai Ling, and Xie Lanlan.
The rest of the leaders of the large and medium-sized bases were almost completely dead. These three people picked up a fallen peach and took a considerable advantage.
They are where they are today because they closely followed Tang Zheng's footsteps.
After Tang Zheng left Qinzhou, he traveled nearly two thousand kilometers north, passed through Fengcheng, and established a base in Zhuguang City, basically cutting off contact with Qinzhou.
In fact, when Tang Zheng left, he left broadcast contact information with all three of them, but only Bai Ling from Qinzhou Airport Base contacted Tang Zheng and reported to Tang Zheng the movements of Chen Feilong's corpse group.
Except for Bai Ling, Xie Lanlan and Liao Yucheng have no contact with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng still remembered the scene of several people following him. The scene of Liao Yucheng rolling out the red carpet for him to the door of the trading hall is still vivid in his mind.
Unexpectedly, the man who used to be like a younger brother would now become a Marquis of the Empire and a division commander.
Of course, from the news, he, the division commander, kneaded the survivors of Qinzhou together. In terms of combat effectiveness and weapons equipment, he should be inferior to the real Royal Army.
This incident sounded like a good thing at first, but Tang Zheng felt something different.
The Fifth Army had previously said that it would enter Fengcheng and other places in Qinzhou, but it happened to launch at this time. Not only did it take Qinzhou through a recruitment campaign, it also entered Fengcheng.
This juncture is so coincidental, it happened when I was building checkpoints and constantly enclosing territory.
If Liu Yibang is allowed to capture Fengcheng, his path south will be completely blocked.
The east and south sides were all captured by Liu Yibang, and there was no room for expansion. So there was no chance of upgrading the brigade commander.
Even if you go west, occupy a large desert area, and collect a territory of 500,000 square kilometers, this population will still be far from enough.
Take the fire out of the cauldron.
This sentence lingered in Tang Zheng's mouth for a while, and he felt that it couldn't be more appropriate.
When things got to this point, no matter whether the empire did it intentionally or not, they were already on the opposite side of Tang Zheng.
Other things can be tolerated temporarily, but it is absolutely intolerable to hinder one's promotion to brigade commander.
Qinzhou has become Liu Yibang's sphere of influence, and Fengcheng must not be given away.
On November 12, Tang Zheng came to the front-line battlefield in Qingquan County.
After ten days of continuous fighting, the recovery of Qingquan County has reached the most critical stage.
There are more than four million zombies in the entire county, and nearly one million have been killed in the early stage. In the past ten days, another three million zombies have been eliminated by the Light Chaser Army.
Currently, the number of zombies in the entire county is only 700,000 to 800,000 in the central and southern urban areas.
This area is a commercial district in Qingquan. There are nearly ten jewelry stores in the county concentrated here.
During this period, the continuous construction of checkpoints and the addition of city guard camps depleted Tang Zheng's funds.
But he still didn't come to withdraw the funds from Qingquan, just to get a big one at once.
Today's battle has reached its final stage, and Tang Zheng arrived at Qingquan.
Luo Fei, who was in the first field camp, handed over a large sum of money to Tang Zheng.
After continuously killing zombies and collecting jewelry stores, this amount of money was very large. Tang Zheng redeemed it in one go and directly gained nine million!
There is still a batch of funds in this county. After the last zombies are eliminated, it is estimated that several million more can be obtained.
Tang Zheng received such a large amount of funds, but he did not immediately raise troops, but chose to continue to command the troops in combat.
It only takes two or three days to capture the scene, and then we'll finish it.
Arriving at Qingquan, after two days of fighting, the number of zombies became smaller and smaller.
At noon on the third day, after Chen Feilong controlled another group of zombies and allowed them to be eliminated by the Light Chasing Army, there were still tens of thousands of zombies gathered in a square in the south of the city.
After all the soldiers' bullets were refreshed, Tang Zheng commanded the troops and launched the final offensive.
After a salvo of artillery fire, a fierce attack by the armored forces, and precise bursts of fire from the soldiers, the battle finally came to an end after more than three hours.
At this point, the entire Qingquan County has been recovered, and there are only some scattered zombies in the city, staying in rooms or stuck in cars and unable to get out.
Tang Zheng also ignored the scattered zombies for the time being, and instead commanded the troops to collect funds immediately.
Before dark, all the jewelry stores in the county, as well as the jewelry on the zombies, came into Tang Zheng's hands.
Another six million in income!
Tang Zheng now has 15 million in funds, which is more than before he was promoted to group leader.
Looking at this huge number, Tang Zheng was very excited.
With this money, his army's strength can take a big step forward.
At this time, Guo Yun also came to Tang Zheng's side and handed Tang Zheng his second drawing after he was promoted to captain.
[Train Station: Selling price is 500,000 gold. 】
Although Tang Zheng has not yet laid the railway tracks outside the city, that is also due to financial constraints.
Now that he has money in hand, Guo Yun's drawing can be said to have come in a very timely manner.
After getting the map, Tang Zheng asked the field troops to continue collecting supplies in Qingquan, while he himself took a helicopter back to Chasing Light City.
Ever since the empire was able to contact Tang Zheng through radio waves, Tang Zheng had been under some pressure.
If the empire came to discuss with him properly, Tang Zheng would not necessarily have to go against the empire. After all, it was the end of the world, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, so he could live well no matter what.
However, the empire did not do this. Instead, it used other methods to compress its living space, which made Tang Zheng a little unbearable.
So now that he has money, he wants to build immediately and raise troops immediately.
Returning to Chasing Light City, Tang Zheng came to the reserved spot at the train station.
The train station is at the northeast gate of the inner city. This gate is specially used for trains.
Guo Yun followed Tang Zheng and gave him suggestions.
"General, for the construction of the train station, it is best to build a section of railway track in advance. It is night now, which is a good time for construction. I suggest you start from the northeast city gate and lay a section of railway that can connect to the Taiping logging yard. That is the nearest railway to us, so our trains can pass through this railway and go to various railway stations in the surrounding areas."
The Taiping Lumber Camp is located southwest of Zhuguang City, only about thirty kilometers away.
Because there is a lot of timber here, there is a railway passing through it, and it can be considered a small village.
The zombies here didn't even need to be attacked by the Light Chasing Army, they had already been cleaned up by the adventurer team.
The supplies here have been taken away a long time ago, and now almost no one comes here.
Tang Zheng followed Guo Yun's suggestion and immediately laid a railway.
The price of the railway is 10 gold per meter, and one kilometer is 10,000 gold.
Thirty kilometers is 300,000 gold, which is a little expensive.
But this is nothing to Tang Zheng, who now has 15 million in capital, and he can directly purchase the railway.
Guo Yun has planned the route, which is along the wilderness. However, a railway bridge needs to be built over the Fengming River in the middle, which requires an additional 100,000 funds.
Four hundred thousand dollars were spent and the railway was laid.
The farthest point is connected to the railway at the lumberyard.
After the paving was completed, Tang Zheng spent another five hundred thousand gold to build the train station.
After placement, a train station appeared.
This is a train station, not a high-speed rail station, and there is no modern waiting hall.
The architectural style of the waiting hall is somewhat towards the end of the last century, and is mainly solid and practical.
The tall platform is about one and a half meters tall and is a full kilometer long.
There are three-meter-high barbed wire guardrails on both sides to prevent outsiders from entering the platform.
There are four railway tracks in the platform, which are brand new and shiny.
One of the railway tracks extended all the way to the northeast city gate and automatically connected with the railway track laid by Tang Zheng before.
There is a high dome on the platform to protect it from wind and rain.
The railway has an internal control room, which can control the tracks to divert at interchanges and direct the movement of trains.
At the end of the city, there is even a train garage where the trains can be stored when not in use.
Moreover, the railway also has its own 50 staff members, who are responsible for daily work such as railway maintenance.
Everything is ready now, all that's left is the train.
At this time, the system prompt sounded.
[Congratulations to the general for completing the construction of the railway station. The trains are now installed. General, please check. 】
Tang Zheng heard this and opened the system page.
Vehicles Here, there are three more vehicles.
[Passenger train: fifteen carriages, speed 120 kilometers per hour, price 300,000 gold. 】
[Freight train: thirty carriages, speed 90 kilometers per hour, price 300,000 gold. 】
[Armored train: ten carriages, speed 100 kilometers per hour, price 1,000,000 gold. 】
After reading it, Tang Zheng felt that the price of buses and trains was not bad, and 300,000 gold was acceptable.
But this armored train only has ten carriages, and the price is as high as one million gold, which is really too expensive.
But experience told him that expensive things naturally come with their own reasons.
So Tang Zheng decided to buy an armored train.
One million funds were spent instantly, and after a while, the armored train appeared on the tracks.
When the beast-like train appeared, Tang Zheng finally understood why this thing was so expensive.
[Armored train: There are ten carriages and one locomotive. It is powered by an internal combustion engine. The entire train is covered with composite armor, which can resist attacks by any weapon with a caliber below 110 mm. 】
[The vehicle comes with twenty train crew members who are responsible for the maintenance and driving of the train. The front of the vehicle is equipped with a radar that can scan conditions within a radius of fifty kilometers, and has a maximum endurance of 3,000 kilometers. 】
[The first and second carriages of the vehicle are artillery carriages. Each carriage is equipped with four 203 mm caliber howitzers and receives 160 training shells every day. Equipped with eight 25mm caliber chain-type machine guns, it obtains 3,360 training shells every day. 】
[The third and fourth trains are missile carriages. Each train is equipped with eight Iskander short-range tactical missiles, with a maximum range of 500 kilometers. It is equipped with four Warrior surface-to-air missiles with a maximum range of 60 kilometers and a maximum height of 30 kilometers. Equipped with two rocket launching nests, it has 120 rockets and a maximum range of 30 kilometers. 】
[The fifth carriage is a passenger carriage, which includes ordinary cabins and luxury cabins. The ordinary cabin can carry 50 people, and the luxury cabin can carry 10 people. There is a luxurious bed for three people to rest at the same time. There are refrigerators in the train, Bathrooms, kitchens and other living facilities. 】
[The sixth to tenth sections are all transport carriages. The carriages are divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part can park five tanks or armored vehicles. The upper part is converted into sleepers and can transport 50 soldiers. Each carriage is equipped with ten tanks. The 14.5 mm caliber Gatling machine gun is fixed on the vehicle and cannot be detached. Each machine gun is provided with 600 rounds of training ammunition per day. 】
[Note: Armored trains are special combat units and cannot be upgraded. 】
After seeing all the data on this armored train, Tang Zheng took a deep breath.
No wonder the price is as high as one million, this is a war beast.
With this thing, Tang Zheng can break through the restrictions of the road network and travel through almost any city. The corpses can no longer block his way.
