It's nearly five o'clock.
There were more than 300 guests in the audience, all of whom were the upper echelons of the military base.
Tang Zheng didn't bother chatting with others, he just took Yang Ying to drink.
Yang Ying felt a little on pins and needles at this moment. After all, Tang Zheng had offended Liu Jun, and he knew who Liu Jun was. Although he looked gentle and elegant on the outside, he was actually a villain inside, and he was bound to retaliate.
Liu Jun will definitely find an opportunity to deal with Tang Zheng next. It is indeed inappropriate for him to be next to Tang Zheng at the moment.
However, it was hard for him to refuse Tang Zheng's enthusiasm, especially since he didn't agree with Liu Jun's behavior, and even disliked it, so he simply drank with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng and Yang Ying had a drink, and then said: "Ba Dao, you have done a good job. I think it is most suitable for you to be in charge of the Mutants Association in the future."
"I'm in charge?" Yang Ying pointed to her nose, a little unbelievable.
Tang Zheng drank a glass of wine, squinted his eyes and said, "What? Don't you dare?"
Yang Ying straightened her back immediately: "It's a joke, there's nothing that my Ba Dao wouldn't dare to do. If I have the opportunity, I won't give in. It's just that my current strength doesn't allow it."
"Okay, if you have this heart, you will be worthy of the name of Sword Dominance. Strength is just a small problem. Are you missing a second-level crystal? I will give you one later."
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, Yang Ying's eyes widened: "Brother, are you fooling me?"
Tang Zheng smiled, "Whether it's a lie or not, we'll find out later."
Yang Ying stopped talking, but sitting next to Tang Zheng, she was no longer as restless as before.
It was now five o'clock.
As the pendulum clock in the hall rang, Liao Yucheng stepped on and reached the scene.
Today, Liao Yucheng is radiant and happy to look at.
Because the Light Chasing Army did not launch another attack all day today, they obviously found it difficult to deal with the Umbrella Mercenary Regiment, and military operations have been suspended.
If the Light-Chasing Army doesn't come, the military camp base will be safe. He no longer has to worry about being suddenly invaded by the Light-Chasing Army.
So today's reception was held as usual, and he was very happy.
Entering the hall, seeing the large number of people in the hall, Liao Yucheng took the initiative to pick up the wine glass.
He came to the stage in the hall, and everyone below stopped talking and turned their attention to him.
The high-spirited Liao Yucheng stood on the stage and spoke.
"Dear elites of the military base, before today's cocktail party begins, I would like to tell you some good news."
"The Light-Chasing Bandits led by Tang Zheng, the bandit leader of Light-Chasing City, fought hard for five hours outside our city last night. They were finally repelled by my troops and some mercenaries. They fled for dozens of kilometers in confusion and are now drinking in the wilderness. Feng, I haven’t dared to attack the city all day today, hahaha!”
After Liao Yucheng finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.
He laughed, and the people around him laughed too, and the place burst into laughter.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, which is a good day. We defeated the light-chasing bandit army again on the frontal battlefield. It can be said to be a double happiness."
"Everyone knows my temper, Liao Yucheng, so I won't say too much nonsense here. Today's purpose is just one. Everyone must have a good time drinking, having fun, and returning home with a lot of fun!"
"Dry!"
As Liao Yucheng raised his glass, everyone present also raised their glasses and drank together.
Tang Zheng did not follow the cup, but looked at the system screen.
On the system screen, a message indicating that the number of zombie kills has been completed has been transmitted.
Tang Zheng glanced at the screen roughly, and all six tasks were green.
He was about to start upgrading immediately, but at this time, someone suddenly came over.
Tang Zheng looked up and saw that it was Liu Jun.
Liu Jun came to Tang Zheng and Yang Ying and glanced at Yang Ying with squinted eyes: "Vice President Yang, I want to have a chat with this brother. I wonder if you can make it easier for me?"
Yang Ying glanced at Tang Zheng, and then at Liu Jun, who was looking at him unkindly, and couldn't help but want to stand up and say something.
But Tang Zheng pulled Yang Ying away: "Brother Ba Dao, go and do your business. I'll have a chat with this guy."
Yang Ying hesitated for a moment, but chose to leave.
As soon as Yang Ying left, Liu Jun sat next to Tang Zheng.
He was holding a glass of red wine and said playfully: "Xiao Fan, right? Do you know what I did before the end of the world?"
Tang Zheng glanced at him: "Tell me about it?"
Liu Jun smiled slightly: "I am a fortune teller. I can tell life and death with certainty."
Tang Zheng also smiled: "Oh, then have you ever looked at the date of your own death?"
Liu Jun's face looked a little ugly. He came to threaten Tang Zheng, hoping to make this rebellious boy submissive. However, he did not expect that the other party's arrogance exceeded his limit.
His tone became sinister: "I don't know myself, but I know that your death date is today."
"Okay, I think your death date is also today, so it depends on which one of us is more accurate."
With that said, Tang Zheng stood up and patted Ning Yuwei beside him on the shoulder: "Wait for me here while I go to the bathroom."
Ning Yuwei nodded. She was accompanied by Wu Di, Han Yang and others, and she was not worried about her safety at all.
Besides, she is not the weak little woman she appears to be now. If she really takes action, Liu Jun in front of her would not even dare to say that he can definitely win against her.
Tang Zheng turned around and left, heading straight to the bathroom.
Liu Jun stared at him coldly for a while, then got up and left to contact someone.
This kid named Xiao Fan was so disrespectful to him that he had to get rid of him today.
Otherwise, many people would think that he, Liu Jun, was just idle and not doing anything, and many people would not take him seriously.
Today I just used Xiao Fan to establish his authority and let everyone know that he, Liu Juncai, was the number two figure in this military base, second only to Liao Yucheng.
As for Yang Ying, the domineering swordsman who was jumping up and down, it was time to step on him.
Under Liu Jun's arrangement, many mutants soon came nearby and began to keep an eye on the bathroom to prevent the boy named Xiao Fan from suddenly running away.
As for killing people at banquets, this kind of thing was certainly appalling before the end of the world, but now, this kind of thing has happened many times, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
Tang Zheng entered the bathroom, found a stall and sat down.
After locking the door, he opened the system page.
When he opened it, Tang Zheng was even a little excited.
Brigadier!
Since he obtained the system, every upgrade has not taken too long, but this time it took several months for the regiment commander to upgrade to the brigade commander.
This upgrade is of great significance. From now on, the Light Chasing Army will truly have a firm foothold.
After opening the system and seeing that all six tasks had been completed, Tang Zheng began to upgrade.
[General, all six of your upgrade tasks have been completed. Do you want to upgrade immediately? 】
"Upgrade now!"
[Confirm upgrade. Upgrade completed! 】
[Congratulations to the general for being promoted to brigade commander. Now please increase the number of troops. 】
Tang Zheng had already calculated the capacity for this time.
Now there are 30,000 people in his regiment, but among these 30,000 people, there are only five real field camps.
There are also two city guard battalions, an engineer battalion, a direct battalion, and an army aviation battalion.
These battalions are large in number, with a total of nearly 25,000 people.
The remaining armored battalions, cooking troops, medical troops, guard troops, train troops, scientific research institutes, combat command centers, etc., total only 5,000 people.
And if he upgrades, a group will not need so many people.
After all, after he became the brigade commander, the regiment he established did not need artillery or armored troops. It was a pure field regiment. In fact, 15,000 people were enough.
In Tang Zheng's plan, all five of his field battalions were upgraded into regiments, with the size of a regiment being 15,000 people.
In this way, the five regiments amount to 75,000 people, and then other troops will also need to be upgraded.
The directly affiliated battalion will be upgraded to a regiment, and the two city guard battalions will also be upgraded to a regiment.
The Army Aviation Battalion was upgraded to a regiment, including paratroopers, Air Force ground crews, and all future fighter personnel.
The engineering force was upgraded to a regiment to lay the foundation for future development and construction.
These were the main force, and a total of nine regiments were needed, numbering about 135,000 men.
The remaining armored battalions were upgraded to regiments, but armored regiments did not need too many people. In fact, two armored regiments only had about 2,000 people.
Even if a third armored regiment is formed, the number will not exceed 3,000 at most.
The artillery needs to be upgraded to a regiment. For the time being, it is calculated as three thousand people. The current total number is just over 140,000.
In addition, the number of people in the cooking force and medical force is not too large, and the total number of people will not exceed 3,000.
There are also guard troops that have been upgraded to battalions, with a maximum of 2,500 people.
The remaining scientific and technological research and development departments, special service personnel, military intelligence personnel, etc., total less than 10,000 people.
In total, there are about 156,000 people.
However, Tang Zheng thought that he would have a department with a relatively large number of people in the future, and that was the naval force.
Now Tang Zheng's navy can still be regarded as a navy, and can only be regarded as an inland river force. It only has a few icebreakers and a few transport ships, and its number is close to a thousand people.
But in the future, the navy will definitely have more than this number, and Tang Zheng has to make plans for the future.
Therefore, Tang Zheng tentatively determined that he would have a navy of thirty thousand in the future.
Calculated in this way, the number of people has exceeded 180,000, close to 190,000.
In addition, Tang Zheng also has some small plans, such as forming some special forces, which also requires numbers.
There will also need to be some space for personnel activities later, in case there are not enough places.
Therefore, the goal Tang Zheng set for himself was to have a brigade of 200,000 people.
After calculating this number, Tang Zheng was thinking, this is no longer a brigade at all, this is clearly a group army.
A group army that brings together the land, sea and air forces for all-weather operations is the right one.
But the system called this a brigade, so Tang Zheng accepted it. A brigade was a brigade. At least in terms of numbers, the 200,000-strong army was already on par with other armies in the empire.
"Determine the number of people, 200,000."
[After confirmation, the maximum number of people in the entire brigade is 200,000. 】
[The conditions for upgrading to division commander have been unlocked, general please check. 】
