Chapter 942 Liang Zi

Xihai Town is located in Haibei Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and was formerly Factory 221.

Factory 221 is the first nuclear weapons research and development base after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is mainly responsible for the research and development and assembly of core components of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.

In 1995, Factory 221 officially ended its historical mission and was handed over to the local government by the military. It was renamed Xihai Town, with a permanent population of less than 2 people. It retains a large number of underground military facilities built during a special historical period.

When the apocalypse broke out half a year ago, Xihai Town was still a semi-militarized management area. It was also for this reason that the Western War Zone quickly selected Xihai Town as the headquarters of the war zone after the apocalypse.

After half a year of full-scale construction, the Western Theater Command, with Xihai Town as its center and the G315 National Highway + Qinghai-Tibet Railway branch line as its arteries, has initially formed a three-in-one survival system of "underground fortress + lakeside agriculture + oil and gas corridor".

Today, relying on the legacy of the original Factory 221, Xihai Town has established a thermal power + photovoltaic energy supply system. Although it is not very stable, it can meet military and production needs to a certain extent.

In addition, as the core base of the Western Theater, Xihai Town also has an underground command center, a honeycomb air defense tower, a town-wide corpse trench system, a nuclear bunker hospital, a bullet reloading workshop, an oxygen-deficient steelmaking furnace, an earth explosive workshop, a tank maintenance trench, a deep well oxygen bar system, an algae farm, a corpse recycling center, a faith control church, a frozen exile prison...

With so many factory facilities and over 10 survivors, Xihai Town has become the undisputed largest gathering place in Qing Province!

...

hum~

At this moment, 50 meters underground in Xihai Town, with the sound of low and suppressed gears turning, a nearly -centimeter-thick lead-steel alloy closed door slowly opened, and the butter smeared on the door hinges emitted a heavy smell of grease due to the heat generated by friction.

Without waiting for the closed door to open completely, the colonel holding the documents hurriedly squeezed in sideways.

Behind the closed door was a deep and narrow reinforced concrete passage without any decoration. The tungsten filaments of the emergency lights hanging on both sides of the passage flickered slightly, emitting a dim light.

The overall architectural style gives people a heavy, rough and wild feeling, with a strong sense of the times.

This is the current underground command center of the Western Theater Command and the site of the former No. 221 Factory of Factory 10.

The entire underground command center is about 50 meters from the surface, buried deep in the mountain. The walls are made of concrete reinforced concrete structure + lead lining, 3 meters thick, which can withstand the shock wave of a nuclear explosion. It is also equipped with an independent ventilation and gas filtration system to prevent biological and chemical pollution.

The passage was filled with whirring noises, and the occasional freezes even gave off a feeling that the old fan was about to die, as if it was running out of air.

When they first moved in, the colonel hated the sound very much. They found it noisy and depressing, and they became very irritated after hearing it too much.

But as time passed, the colonel felt that he had become a mature rat man. Now when he heard this voice, he not only did not feel annoyed, but even felt a little relieved.

Because compared to the annoying sound, the fact that it doesn't make any sound is terrifying...

The passage was very long, seemingly endless. Every ten meters or so, one would encounter armed guards. Even though the colonel deliberately quickened his pace, it took him nearly five minutes to reach a closed door made of half a meter thick lead alloy.

With the arched ceiling, no matter how many times I have been here, every time I come here, I feel like I have come to a tomb underground palace. The passage is like a tomb, and the door is also like a tomb underground palace.

The door was open at this moment, and there was a metal sign on the side of the door with six large characters "Command and Operations Center" engraved on it.

As soon as the colonel entered the room, he could see that the entire large command center was divided into several areas by a large number of camouflage wooden boards.

There is also a 2-meter square physical sand table on the cement floor of the central hall, on which is placed a plaster model of Qinghai Province with Xihai Town as the center. Red flags are planted along the G315 National Highway, and the agricultural area around the lake is marked with blue tiles.

A large number of staff officers in training uniforms were walking around the operations center with paper documents and reports in their hands. Next to the wall where a huge map was hung, several officers were gathered together discussing something. The sounds of arguments and the rustling of pencils scratching across paper could be heard one after another.

The colonel cadre carefully walked through the operation area, occasionally dodging the hurried staff cadres, and came to the innermost core area.

The core area is surrounded by a circle of thick bulletproof glass, and some simple sound insulation has been done.

dong dong dong~

"report!"

When the colonel knocked on the door, several generals in the core area were sitting around a long iron table. A paper map spread out on the table was fixed with an ashtray, and there were several small plastic flags of different colors on the map.

"Come in!" A lieutenant general turned his head to look at the door and greeted casually.

The arrival of the colonel clearly broke the slightly heavy atmosphere in the core area at the moment, but the discussion was not interrupted by the colonel's arrival.

Seeing that his leader was busy, the colonel did not speak after entering the room. He consciously controlled the noise he made, and then, under the guidance of the duty staff officer, he sat quietly in the corner.

"Comrade Guofeng, how is the negotiation work with the new provincial construction corps going? Is the other party still unwilling to make concessions on the issue of the Hami wind power base?" Wei Jingfang, commander-in-chief of the Western Theater Command, asked in a deep voice at the head seat at the long table.

Hearing this, Zhang Shouzheng, director of the Political Department of the Western Theater, shook his head and said, "Commander, the New Province Construction Corps has a tough attitude and said they will not give in. They have also made further demands, asking us to hand over the people involved to them for disposal..."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the conference room, including the theater commander Wei Jingfang, frowned...

This story started from the Hami Wind Power Base three months ago:

The Hami wind power base is located in the Second Field of the 160th Division in the southeast of Hami City, only 1500 kilometers away from the Xingxingxia Pass (Gansu-Xinjiang border) controlled by the Western Theater Command, with an annual power generation capacity of approximately million kWh.

This amount of power generated can roughly support the annual electricity consumption of a small town. It is not small, but it is not large either.

In some developed industrial provinces, it is not even enough for some large steel mills to use for 10 days.

But this is the Northwest and Qinghai Province, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an industrial wasteland. This wind power base with an annual power generation capacity of 1500 million kWh can already meet a large part of the electricity needs of Xihai Town, where the Western Theater Command is located.

It is of great strategic significance for ensuring the stable operation of Xihai Town’s current military-industrial system!

Therefore, the Western Theater can be said to have longed for this wind power generation base.

At first, the Western Theater wanted to occupy it directly, dismantle it and transport it back, so they even planned the dismantling and transportation plan and road transportation route in advance!

But when the garrison troops that had been stationed at the Xingxingxia Pass (Gansu-Xinjiang border) for a long time arrived at the Hami wind power base, they found that the 13th Division of the New Province Construction Corps was still there!

On one side were the Western War Zone garrison troops who had long been in the wilderness of the northwest and were accustomed to the wildness; on the other side was the 13th Division that stood up to protect their homeland. It was like a collision between Mars and the Earth, and an extremely fierce physical conflict broke out between the two sides on the spot.

Although the 1th Division has advantages in local combat, it is only a production unit with men, women, old and young; while the troops sent by the Western Theater only have one company, they are all real field troops and young and strong men!

Therefore, even without using their weapon advantage, they still had the advantage throughout the whole process. About 100 people kept beating up the nearly people from the th Division who came to support them.

The final result was that in this free-fight involving thousands of people, the Western Theater troops, due to the stress of being surrounded, killed or injured nearly a hundred people from the 13th Division under the orders of their superiors. It was extremely ferocious!

After the high-level officials of both sides learned about the situation, they were all scared out of their wits. Before this, no one had expected that the first contact after the end of the world would not only not be about brotherly love, but actually be bloody!

Afterwards, the New Province Construction Corps strongly demanded that the murderer be handed over and an explanation be given to the 13th Division, but the Western Theater Command said that this was absolutely impossible.

After all, the people were sent by the war zone. If they were handed over when something went wrong, wouldn't that make the people below feel disappointed? How would they lead the team in the future?

The same is true for the new province's construction corps. The 13th Division shed blood for the corps. How can we explain to our subordinates if we don't give an explanation?

Therefore, although the Western Theater Command voluntarily withdrew its troops because it was in the wrong, the New Province Construction Corps refused all compensation proposed by the Western Theater Command and stated that it would carry out this matter to the end!

At this point, the feud between the two sides has been formed!
