Chapter 1214 - Forming The North Division (1/2)
The individual must represent the interests of the NAC and must understand the situation of Pingan Street. Jiang Chen certainly considered parachuting someone in from the NAC, but he could not think of a suitable candidate.
Jiang Chen even considered Zhou Guoping who engaged in intelligence work in the Shangjing area. However, the thug-vibe on him meant that he could only play an effective role in the field and was not a suitable candidate for an official position.
Lu Fan knocked on the door and saluted as Jiang Chen thought about this problem while sitting in the office that once belonged to Ding Liwei.
“Report. Ding Liwei and Wan Peng’s assets have been confiscated. It includes a total of five million crystals, one million crystals worth of luxury goods, 200 power armors, kinetic skeletons and other types of equipment.”
“Bring all the crystals back to Wanghai. As for the luxury goods,” Jiang Chen touched his chin as he debated before he finally made a decision. “Contact the auction house here and proceeds will be used for post-disaster reconstruction.”
“Yes,” Lu Fan replied. “There is one more thing Advisor Han has asked me to report to you.”
“What is it?” Jiang Chen asked.
“The Russians have withdrawn to the Badaling region and have already withdrawn to outside the Fifth Ring Road.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
After he came up from underground, he already heard people say that Han Junhua ordered the armored forces to penetrate from the north side and follow the Third Ring Road to circumvent the zombie flood. Then they ignited ten tactical nukes at the Line 27 station and turned the entire station into a deep pit.
The zombies were not only attracted by the living, but were also attacted by nuclear radiation. Driven by the instinct formed through the X1 bacterial, the zombies rushed into the tunnel through the deep pit and flanked the Russians from behind. While zombies were no threats to tanks, they were deadly to personnel.
Compounded by the fact that Yegor and Sminov both died in the battle, the Uelen Border Guards was in a state of distress, and the slightly more senior officers began to feel restless. Internal problems spurred out one after another, and now they could not focus on the war with the NAC.
Retreating was their only choice.
“The Russian problems aside,” Jiang Chen looked at Lu Fan and smiled, “Let’s talk about you.”
“About me?” Lu Fan was confused.
“What do you think of the expeditionary force?”
“It’s combat power is…”
“Shangjing is the political center of the Pan-Asia Cooperation, and it was once a population center. There are countless fallout shelters that have not yet been opened, and there are countless heritages waiting for us to discover. So,” Jiang Chen paused, “I am going to set up the Northern Division as the fourth division of the NAC. And the leader of this division…”
Jiang Chen’s fingers knocked on the table as he looked at the shocked Lu Fan with a smile.
“It’s you.”
…
The strategic significance of Pingan Street did not require further explanation. If the NAC managed to develop this region, the possibility of this place becoming the second Sixth Street certainly existed. This place would serve as the strategic fulcrum of the NAC in the north and radiate the glory of civilization to the surrounding wasteland…
And it would be impossible to achieve this without a sufficient military presence.
