Chapter 191: Ignore America

In this special era, population has also become a resource. In addition to 10,000 people left behind, Saudi Arabia was transported to China by ships, bypassed Shanghai, and disembarked directly in Nantong through the estuary of the Yangtze River. Everyone was arranged near Nantong. The military transported a large number of tents and daily necessities. These Saudi Arabians all lived here from today. Chinese farming experts also came with a large amount of seeds, fertilizers and farming machinery. They almost stopped teaching and guiding the Saudis to grow winter wheat.

China is a major agricultural country. Seeds, fertilizers and agricultural machinery will not be lacking even in the end of the world. However, because the current population has dropped to less than 10 million, it is enough to support China's current agricultural development into fully mechanized agriculture, and pesticides are basically no longer needed, because the words of agricultural experts made Xie Tian amused.

"The biological chain has completely collapsed now. Not to mention animals, there are even fewer insects. Nowadays, it is impossible to invade pests by growing grain and vegetables. Therefore, all the newly produced grains can be considered pollution-free and residue-free, and the fertilizers are all used for organic fertilizer."

Xie Tian smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, nowadays, you can't even find a grasshopper."

Agriculture and forestry expert laughed and said, "Even if there is no zombie virus outbreak, it is impossible to see grasshoppers in this season. Winter is coming."

Xie Tian said embarrassedly: "I'm just a joke, just say it casually." Then Xie Tian asked: "Can you solve the problem of keeping seeds?"

"That's certainly." The expert said lightly: "We will leave enough seeds next year, so you can rest assured."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "I will leave these Saudis to you. We need to train well and manage well, so that they can't be lazy. If the farm work here is almost the same and there is no need for so many people, tell me that I have another job for them."

"Okay." The expert nodded and reminded: "Thank you, if you want to start planting winter wheat on a large scale, you must hurry up. There are still twenty days left. If twenty days pass, the winter wheat will not be able to grow."

Xie Tian said with a hush, "Starting tomorrow, we will launch 60 passenger planes to and from Shanghai to Kashmir, and at least tens of thousands of people can be transported back every day. Within 20 days, Pakistan's 700,000 people can all arrive in China. As soon as they arrive, they will immediately arrange for them to start farming and sowing the seeds quickly. After sowing, they will relax for a while."

"No problem." The expert promised: "It's okay to leave the farming matters to us."

...

Saudi Arabians did not have any discomfort in their lives after coming to China. Although they lost their mansions and luxury cars, and no matter what their origins were, they all became hard-working farmers, but they seemed to be very quickly integrated, which made Xie Tian a little unbelievable, because among these 150,000 people, the number of people who are worth more than one million US dollars exceeded 20,000, and the value of them is very common.

After observing for two days, Xie Tian realized that for these Saudis, being able to have enough food is the greatest happiness, and other things are not important to them. Moreover, the Nantong area where they are located is very safe, without the shadow of zombies, and a large number of troops stationed, which makes them feel very at ease and satisfied.

The number of existing passenger aircraft in China is very large. There are more than 200 idle Boeing and Airbus passenger aircraft at the two major airports of Shanghai Hongqiao and Pudong alone. However, Xie Tian’s number of pilots was too small to enable more aircraft. He could only barely gather 60 pilots for passenger aircraft, and the other pilots were also responsible for the guards in Shanghai and Zhangshu.

Sixty passenger planes began to travel back and forth over China and Pakistan. The planes no longer carried people according to the prescribed number. They usually took off and returned home after being loaded. Pakistanis followed the arrangements of China. Basically, no one would ask a question from beginning to end. As long as they landed, they followed the orders of the Chinese side. They landed at a backup airport in the south of Yancheng. After landing, everyone was arranged in several nearby towns. The cultivated land here was very active, not to mention 700,000 people, it would be impossible to fully utilize these cultivated land if it doubled.

As for the food consumed by these people, Xie Tian paid for it himself, and all the food was transported by land. For the people of Pakistan, the food was supplied at a quantity of 600 grams per person per day, regardless of adults and children, to ensure that they had enough food and had a certain surplus of food. They could directly send people to Shanghai to exchange it for rice tickets, and then save it or exchange it for other supplies. However, for the Saudis, Xie Tian did not give the food to them, but sent a team of nearly a thousand chefs to cook specifically, so that the Saudis could eat enough, but would not give them any surplus.

The news that China has brought the vast majority of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to its own country has quickly spread all over the world. This news is undoubtedly very shocking. After all, it is an unprecedented event, and many countries are unbelievable. Why do Saudi Arabians and Pakistanis leave their hometowns and go to China to farm? However, when they learned that China has given enough food to the people of these two countries, people from other countries also understood, and even some countries that cannot eat try to move to China.

Western countries are not interested in this, but what they are most interested in is that at this time the Chinese actually have such strong air transportation capabilities, and can dispatch a large number of planes to air transport more than 700,000 Pakistanis back to China in a short period of time. This is what surprised and feared them the most. At this time, most countries do not even have the power to move 700,000 people for 100 kilometers. However, China's air transportation is so powerful that they have sufficient aviation fuel reserves. Thinking of their purchase of oil from Saudi Arabia at a very low price, Western countries concluded that China has resumed aviation fuel production. In other words, China has the ability to transport 700,000 Pakistanis in a short period of time, and also has the ability to transport hundreds of thousands of soldiers to any corner of the world in a short period of time!

Western countries have always been wary of China and even hostile, but now the Chinese have the ability to deploy a large number of soldiers and weapons and equipment in a short period of time. How can they not worry?

The existing American population is more than 2 million, but the number of soldiers is very small, less than 50,000, which has a lot to do with their previous situation of troops stationed around the world. Their local soldiers did not even release many soldiers. As a result, when the zombie virus broke out, they had no ability to gather a large number of troops. Most of the military bases and soldiers stationed abroad were defeated one by one by zombies. At present, these tens of thousands of soldiers were extremely lacking in pilots and naval power. In addition, scientific researchers suffered huge losses, the United States is unable to cultivate a naval soldier who can drive an aircraft carrier, and it is even more impossible to cultivate enough pilots to enable the aircraft carrier to have actual strike capabilities.

Sadly, even if we catch ordinary soldiers or civilians for training, they do not have professional talents to be competent for this task. For example, without nuclear experts, senior ordnance experts, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers located in the United States, they cannot be used and maintained. How can a group of army officers and soldiers who only know how to shoot guns learn how to use sea and air radar and missiles without anyone teaching?

The Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, USA is the only air force base currently controlled by the Americans. There are countless fighter jets, bombers, early warning aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and transport aircraft here. However, in order to defend Washington, the United States blows up a deserted area around Washington into a 300-kilometer-wide unmanned zone, almost exhausting all of their aviation fuel reserves. The only remaining aviation fuel is only a few thousand tons, which is almost equivalent to none.

The Americans did not realize at first that the war with zombies did not gradually subside as the zombies were constantly eliminated, but instead became increasingly difficult because of the zombies' gradual strength and super gathering. If Americans had also thought of a way out at the beginning, or had a way to open a material base for Washington like Xie Tian opened up Shanghai, Americans would not have been so difficult now. However, the United States does not have such good geographical conditions in China. The two metropolises in the north and south have not only two natural barriers, but also an elevated railway connection.

The United States' military power focuses on the sea and air, and now, the most practical thing for them is the Air Force. Facing the zombie pressure of its own country, Canada, and Mexico, there is no air force, and only the army, the Americans resisted very hard. For some time, Americans did not dare to consume aviation fuel anymore because they had to ensure that when the United States could not be kept, the president and existing politicians could leave through aviation. Therefore, during this period, Americans' defenses relied on guns in the hands of soldiers and survivors. Fortunately, guns in the United States are very popular, and gun legal also makes them more combative in the apocalypse than other countries. However, the consumption of bullets is also unbearable for Americans. The only arsenal in Washington State has resumed work, but it is extremely lacking in the materials needed to make bullets, such as copper and steel, and chemical raw materials.

In order to improve the situation, the current US Secretary of State was appointed by the president and contacted Xie Tian and proposed a transaction intention: "The United States hopes to purchase 100,000 tons of aviation fuel in China. For this reason, the United States is willing to exchange 20 C-17 transport aircraft with 20 C-130 transport aircraft."

Thirty transport aircraft exchanged for 100,000 tons of aircraft fuel. This transaction seemed to be a big profit. Americans thought that China had always lacked transport aircraft with excellent performance and would definitely agree to the transaction, but unexpectedly, Xie Tian refused.

Why refuse?

First of all, Xie Tian now has a large number of transport aircraft, whether it is military transport aircraft or civil transport aircraft, and there are a wide variety, from domestic military transport aircraft to Russian and American. In addition, he not only has a large number of ready-made civil transport aircraft, but also those passenger aircraft can be easily converted into transport aircraft. Can he travel thousands of miles to get American transport aircraft? What's more, he has both transport aircraft, the c-17 and the c-130.

Secondly, Xie Tian could not give Americans aviation fuel no matter what. For this country with extremely developed aviation industry, aviation fuel is their blood. Once they have sufficient blood, they have the ability to get out of the predicament in a short period of time.

After Xie Tian decisively rejected the Americans' intention to trade, the Americans were still thinking whether the temptation they gave was insufficient.

The US President summoned the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense and other politicians at the White House, and said hesitantly: "The Chinese have rejected our deal. I am considering whether to add a cross F-16 fighter jet to the Chinese in the deal."

"F-16?" Locke, the Secretary of Defense who had just taken office after the outbreak of the zombie virus, frowned and said, "Hissergeant President, the F-16 is already the fighter jet that we are about to eliminate. The Chinese j-20 had been officially equipped with troops a year ago. Although that fighter jet is not as good as our F-22, it is basically comparable to the F-35. At this time, if you use the F-16 to exchange it with them, I am afraid they will look down on it at all."

"What about that?" Obama asked back with some depression: "Do you want me to use the F-35 to exchange them?"

"I think it's OK," Locke nodded and said, "First of all, the f-35 is not our best fighter. Our best fighter is always the f-22. The f-35 is just a cheap alternative. We have been exporting the f-35, but the f-22 has never considered selling it. Therefore, I don't think there will be any problem with trading the f-35 as a bargaining chip with the Chinese."

"No." The Secretary of State blurted out: "If the Chinese f-35 are given, they will dominate the entire Asia in a short period of time! That will be a complete subversion of our Asian policy for so many years!"

"Wrong!" Locke glanced at the Secretary of State and said mercilessly: "Women don't understand military at all! China has the ability to transport 700,000 Pakistanis to China in more than ten days. Not to mention Asia, no country in the world has such ability at this time. If the Chinese want, they can use the air force to attack any corner of the world, even the United States."

"That's too bad!" said the Secretary of State with a pale face: "If the Chinese want to attack us at this time..."

"Don't worry." Locke said lightly: "Washington's air defense capabilities are extraordinary. Even a large number of satellites cannot be used. Our radar network and air defense missiles are enough to ensure the safety of the entire Washington. Moreover, there is no need for the Chinese to attack us, which will not be of any benefit to them. Judging from their recent situation, they should be actively developing and will not have the time and energy to engage in hegemony."

"What's the future?" the president said with a sad face: "We can only ensure the safety of the city. There is no arable land in the city. Now we can only plant some food crops in limited gardens, parks and gardening of private housing. However, the Chinese hired farmers from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to cultivate on their vast arable land. By the next year, their food will not be eaten, and our people will go hungry! Now the entire 300-kilometer vacuum zone around Washington is bombed by bombs, and that kind of place cannot even grow weeds!"

"His Excellency President." Locke said: "If we cannot solve the problem of aviation fuel now, the large number of zombies that continue to flow into Washington will make us unable to withstand it."

"Hurry up and contact China." The president blurted out: "Just say that the White House decided to add a cross F-35 to see what they mean."

"Yes." The Secretary of State immediately picked up the phone, called the communication center, and said, "Help me connect to the Chinese government's communication."

A moment later, Xie Tian grabbed the phone. When the Secretary of State finished the new conditions, less than two seconds, Xie Tian flatly refused: "Sorry, Secretary of State, we are not interested in your country's planes at present. In addition, if you want to do business with China, please repay the debts that we owed us first. We Chinese people have lent all the labor results that we have earned back from working hard to you Americans. Before you pay back the money, the zombie virus broke out. Let the Chinese people pay for your national defense and the people's advanced consumption. If this money is used to purchase the F-35, your nation's F-35 fighter jets are not enough to pay. Please don't call me. I'm very busy lately and I really don't have time to talk to you. Goodbye."

The Secretary of State's chest was so angry that his chest kept fluctuating. Everything Xie Tian said on the phone, other politicians around him also heard clearly through the amplification system, and they were shocked and could not speak. However, after careful consideration, the Americans did take great advantage of China. A considerable part of the money they borrowed from China was used to expand military expenditures, and some were used to solve the government deficit. Now the world has collapsed all of a sudden, and this money is naturally a loss for the Chinese.

"The Chinese are not interested in aircraft, so what if they replace them with other weapons and equipment?" the Secretary of State asked: "Think about what China needs most urgently now."

"Population." The president stood up and said angrily: "They have a population of eight million, but they are not satisfied yet. They even started to engage in immigration activities. It is obvious that the hardware base of the Chinese people is far more than the size of the population of eight million. I estimate that they can support at least 15 million people. How come they are not weakened after the zombie virus has exploded for so long, but become stronger and stronger!"

"Do you want to send reconnaissance planes to China?" said the Minister of Defense: "Our military satellites and spy satellites are basically no longer available. It is better to send reconnaissance planes to conduct a careful aerial photography of areas controlled by the Chinese government and evaluate their current national strength."

"We have not much aviation fuel left!" The Secretary of State blurted out: "Sending reconnaissance aircraft requires a lot of aviation fuel. Aviation fuel is too precious to us now!"

"Yes." The Air Force Commander said: "Our reconnaissance aircraft has a maximum range of only more than 10,000 kilometers. If you want to conduct a careful reconnaissance of China, you must have aerial refueling aircraft to accompany you. When approaching China, you can fill the reconnaissance aircraft with fuel, and then you can ensure that the reconnaissance aircraft complete the reconnaissance mission. Two aircraft will consume at least three-digit tonnage fuel, which is too extravagant for us! And what are the benefits of our reconnaissance of China? We are now unable to take care of ourselves. Even if the Chinese are launching new satellites and have the ability to use intercontinental missiles, what can we do? It's just to defend the zombies in front of us and find ways to feed our people."

"If there is sufficient aviation fuel, we can not only repel the zombie attacks, but also use armed helicopters to search for supplies in other states." The Secretary of Defense frowned and said: "But we don't have enough aviation fuel at all now. If we consume all this fuel now, we will not even have the ability to retreat once we can't resist."

"Negotiate with the Chinese again!" The president stood up and said, "If the negotiations are not good, I will ask Chairman Han to visit China. In any case, I will find a way to get some aviation fuel back."

The Americans then formulated a transaction list again, and in addition to the cross F-35s, there were also cross Apache armed helicopters.

Xie Tian still refused. If the Americans can take the opportunity to turn the situation around in order to gain some benefits, he would rather not. In short, the world is about to reshuffle. It can be said that now is the most critical moment. The zombie virus can be overcome one day, and the zombie crisis can be solved one day. By then, the pattern of the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. At this time, the heart must be more ruthless in order to benefit the country.

Seeing that the Americans wanted to get help from China, the group of people discussed it all day and concluded that they decided to send navies to the Far East by warships. The most important destination was Guam. The United States had long been thinking about military supplies on Guam, but because the number of soldiers was small and had to be responsible for the defense of the entire Washington, they could not get rid of it. However, the United States has basically reached a dead end. Even if the crisis in Washington is serious, they must send a force to Guam.

In the eyes of Americans, Guam must be zombies at this moment, and it is very difficult for the troops to land. Therefore, it is necessary to have enough military cover to land before it can land on the air base. Therefore, the US government decided to send 10,000 troops to Guam on four Aegis-class warships. It is already quite difficult for the Americans. After the ten thousand people were drawn, the defense of the entire Washington faced huge challenges. It can only temporarily draw a large number of survivors to participate in the defense. The whole country is looking forward to the soldiers gaining something in Guam, but they don’t know that Guam has almost become an empty island at this moment. Most of the weapons, ammunition, fuel and other supplies have been taken away by Xie Tian. Even on the northern coastline of Guam, there are a large number of mines covered with water...

But at this moment, Xie Tian didn't know that the Americans were finally going to Guam. He was holding a meeting at the Interim Military Commission as Patton. When he said that the Americans were going to exchange dozens of various fighter jets for aviation fuel, the head of the Air Force laughed and said happily: "We have only more than 200 pilots in total, but there are hundreds of format aircraft, and there are more than 60 aircraft on the aircraft carrier. I wish I could drive an aviation school to train a group of pilots to alleviate the current shortage of pilots. Even if they gave us so many aircraft for free, we would have no place to put them now."

Xie Tian nodded and asked, "How many pilots do you think we have enough to use it?"

The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "The number of fighter pilots must be at least 200, respectively, in the aircraft carrier, Shanghai and Zhangshujun Airport. Then civil aviation also requires a certain number of pilots. If the number of pilots can reach 400, it should be enough."

"Training pilots is probably not a matter of overnight." Xie Tian said: "It may take a long time from the start of training until the pilot can fly a plane into the sky."

"This is not a big problem," the person in charge explained: "Our special moments and special methods are special methods. Our current pilots are very experienced old pilots. However, except for single-seat fighter jets, other types of aircraft require two pilots to operate together, so we can try to train a group of deputy pilots first. As long as we have a certain theoretical education, we will be led by our experienced pilots, and we will not be able to take the task of the deputy captain in a long time. In this way, our old pilots can draw a large part of it."

"I understand what you mean." Xie Tian nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then hurry up and start selecting flight students, and then set up an aviation school at Zhangshujun Airport."

"Okay." The person in charge nodded and said, "This matter is easy to carry out. Moreover, the Zhangshu Army Airport has been expanded now, and three super long runways have been built. It is perfect to set up an aviation school there."

Xie Tian said, "We secretly took American things. This matter cannot be kept in the fire. Americans will know one day sooner or later. I am afraid that the Americans will be anxious to jump over the wall. After all, their personality is more impulsive. Don't fight with us desperately at that time. Shanghai and Zhangshu's air defense force needs to be strengthened, and we must ensure that there is no accident."

"This..." A military expert in charge of air defense said: "We currently have no problem with the ability to defend against ordinary fighter jets. However, there is a certain lack of defense capabilities of Americans F-22 and B-2. Shanghai has a relatively strong air defense force, but the air defense force on Zhangshu is very weak. Before the zombie virus broke out, we did not take Zhangshu's air defense too seriously, after all, it is inland."

"Contact the Russians." Xie Tian said: "Contact them, I want to buy their latest S-500 air defense system, full set, the more the better."

The air defense expert said in a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that the Russians will not be willing to sell it at all. After all, it is their top air defense system. It's less than a year since the troops were first installed. Many countries have expressed their intention to buy it, but the Russians once publicly said that within ten years, they will not consider selling s-500 to any country."

"Don't worry." Xie Tian said confidently: "They're a big problem for eating now, and the temptation of food on them is much greater than that of missiles!"
Chapter completed!
