Oil City.

conference room.

While listening to Liu Jinglue's explanation, the third uncle looked through the handwritten information notes written by Zheng Shiwu and others.

The information submitted by Zheng Shiwu clearly stated the guard changing time for various defense deployments in the northwest base.

Reference and comparison were made with Xu Zhiyilu's oral confession, and the two were combined with each other.

The northwest defense map, as well as the overall troop strength and rotation times are very clear.

Looking at it as a whole, I have to say that the strength of the northwest forces is still very strong.

But it is not without its shortcomings. The shortcoming is that they do not have too many guard towers around the base.

However, there are their people starting from Wuyuan Mountain and passing through ZY City, Jiuquan, and Jinchang.

With the defenses in these four places, Oil City would not be able to bypass these places if it sent troops on a large scale to attack them.

Unless there is a sneak attack from the north or south.

However, there is a vast desert in the north and the Qilian Mountains and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south, making it difficult for large troops to move forward.

You can only pass through these four places and go all the way west.

It has to be said that the northwest bosses are quite thieves. In addition to the harsh geographical environment, choosing Jiayu City as a base has many benefits.

It is far away from the Central Plains, a place with a lot of zombies, and is located deep in the northwest hinterland. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has a long strategic depth.

As long as the four sub-bases in the east are defended, the northwest headquarters base can basically sit back and relax.

In addition, if you send a helicopter there, the distance is more than 2,000 kilometers, and the helicopter's battery life is a big problem. Once you go there, you won't be able to come back.

Moreover, the troops carried by helicopters are limited, and the strength they can exert is also very limited.

If we want to capture the northwest in the future, we may still have to sweep them from the road one by one.

Thinking of this, the third uncle put down the information and rubbed his eyes.

Just at this time, Liu Jinglue basically finished his explanation.

The third uncle said to everyone:

"Everyone has finished reading and listening. Let's talk about it. What do you think?"

Ju Tianrui glanced at Lao Luo. When he saw that Lao Luo had no intention of speaking, he took the lead and said:

"Minister, according to this information, the northwest base is still very strong and developing very well, but they also have certain limitations. The population is too small and there is insufficient motivation for subsequent development."

"I think the previous strategic plan of holding back the northwest and using time to exchange space was right."

"It is recommended that we continue to adhere to the previous strategic plan, take advantage of the population and resource advantages of Oil City and Dazhangshu, deepen development, and wait until our strength becomes stronger before we sweep the northwest."

What Ju Tianrui said was exactly what the third uncle thought.

In addition to being relatively rich in oil resources, the northwest base as a whole has far less other natural resources than Big Zhangshu and Oil City.

Moreover, as Ju Tianrui said, population is also a resource.

Without people, there is no productivity.

The northwest is vast and sparsely populated. Although the number of zombies is small, it provides a stable environment for their development.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. There are too few people, and they cannot absorb more people like Oil City.

The northwest base is not as large as the headquarters base. The headquarters base can build a buffer city of more than 20,000 acres because it relies on a large number of labor resources.

With a large amount of labor resources to build a buffer city, greenhouses can be built to produce more food.

With more food, more people can be fed and more survivors can be absorbed.

This is a positive cycle.

In short, the development limit of the Da Zhangshu power camp is extremely high.

Looking back at the northwest base, the upper limit of development is locked by resources, population, and environment.

"Where's Lao Luo? Tell me what you think." The third uncle looked at Lao Luo.

Lao Luo pondered for a few seconds and then said:

"Based on the information Zheng Shiwu brought, I wonder if it is possible for us to carry out a beheading operation."

"We have the precise location where the northwest bosses live, as well as their defense maps."

"I just calculated that the straight-line distance from Oil City to Jiayu City is about 2,000 kilometers. Our long-endurance helicopters can completely fly to the northwest base."

"After the helicopter flew over there, it launched a lightning decapitation operation, then flew eastward and found a place to hide."

.....

After Lao Luo finished speaking, Li Zhengping nodded and said:

"Yes, if the big boss in the northwest dies, the forces in the northwest will be in chaos. If they are all scattered and doing their own thing, it will be easier for us to take them down."

Ding Meng also echoed:

"Yes, the worst we can do is lose two helicopters. As long as we can kill the northwest boss, with our current strength, the loss of two helicopters is completely bearable."

The third uncle frowned and looked at the judge.

The judge saw his third uncle looking at him, and originally he was not prepared to speak.

After all, he joined the Great Zhangshu Force not long ago.

Being able to participate in such high-level meetings is because of the captain's trust.

After thinking for a moment, the judge finally said what he really thought in his heart.

"Although the helicopter has a range of 2,500 kilometers, according to Zheng Shiwu's intelligence, the straight-line distance from Oil City to the northwest base is 2,000 kilometers.

If you take a straight-line distance, you must pass through four places: Wuyuan Mountain, Jinchang, Jiuquan, and ZY. Even if one or two of the sub-bases do not see the helicopter, there is a high probability that the other sub-bases will see it."

"Once they discover our helicopter, they will definitely take strict precautions."

"Even the bosses will move places in advance. I don't know if the bosses in the northwest have underground safe houses, but I think the chance of success is too small."

"Moreover, you can see that their air defense system is actually pretty good, with so many anti-aircraft guns and helicopters."

"If you want to achieve accurate beheading, you must not be discovered by them, but now the possibility of being discovered by taking a straight path is too high."

"If we don't go in a straight line and go around from the south and north, the helicopter's range will not be enough."

At this point, the judge stopped.

He didn't say whether Lao Luo's beheading plan was feasible, but the concerns and difficulties he mentioned were real.

After he finished speaking, everyone who was originally excited began to think deeply.

The judge is right, if you want to fly northwest, you can only pass through these four places.

No wonder the place in the northwest has not been so easy to capture since ancient times.

The four places are all dangerous places.

The third uncle slowly exhaled and said:

"Not only that, we assume that the northwest boss is successfully beheaded by us. Even if there is chaos, a new boss may emerge."

"Under our threat, they may become more united and more difficult to deal with."

"The beheading plan is a good idea, but it is not suitable for passing by the air. It is too arrogant and the target is too big. Going by land is more concealed, so overall, the beheading plan is more suitable by going by the ground."

"indeed."

Lao Luo nodded thoughtfully and said:

"What the minister said makes sense. Both Zheng Shiwu and Black Hand were able to sneak into the northwest hinterland, even only four or five kilometers away from the northwest base."

"We sent an elite team carrying heavy artillery weapons, which should be able to do it."

Ding Meng smiled and echoed: "Heavy artillery weapon, isn't that a missile vehicle? It's so powerful!"

Although the missile vehicles they found many years ago did not have missiles on them, they were later modified by them. Each missile vehicle placed two heavy artillery pieces.

This heavy artillery is extremely powerful, with a coverage area of ​​up to fifty meters and an attack range of tens of kilometers.

And because the missile vehicle can withstand astonishing recoil, it can fully withstand the recoil of heavy artillery.

In addition, the missile vehicle is very mobile and can fire a few shots and then change places to continue bombing.

The third uncle thought for a moment, and it seemed feasible at first glance.

But if you think about it carefully, there are some problems that must be overcome.

First, the missile vehicle is huge. How to ensure that it can safely drive to the vicinity of the northwest base?

Second, now that satellite positioning and navigation are useless, how can we accurately hit the location of the boss?

Third, according to Xu Zhiyi’s confession, the boss is very cautious and rarely shows his face. Even Zheng Shiwu and the others have not seen the boss in more than two months.

Fourth, the consequences of failure may be huge. If the boss can be successfully killed, everyone will be happy. However, if the beheading operation fails, the boss will be desperate to counterattack madly.

Once they defeat all odds and counterattack, Oil City will bear the brunt and will inevitably face considerable losses.
