The 15-day field operation was over, and Egg led the team back to Jixi Town. After briefly reporting the results of the battle to all field personnel involved in the field operation, the joint field team was disbanded.
The first Free Trade Conference will be held in four days. The joint field team will gather at Jixi Town two days in advance to participate in the security work of this trade conference.
The results of this joint field operation were not as exaggerated as the previous ones, but the results were also very good.
Through the hard work of the field team for half a month, most areas in Puduo County have been converted from yellow zones to green zones, and no infected people can be seen wandering on both sides of the roads. But the bad news is that Iger is
When counting the number of infected people annihilated, it was found that the number of infected people did not match up.
That night, the number of infected people who gathered in Nancheng Square and surrounded the joint field office was estimated to be around 5,000. However, the results reported by the reclamation regiment fighting on the main battlefield this time were less than 3,000.
Considering that the reported results are usually only slightly higher, if we reduce the estimated number of infected people that night, there is still a huge number that does not match the number, at least a difference of 1,000.
"I have some bad news for you." In the conference room on the second floor of the Morgan Building in Qixi Town, Iger was giving a joint field report to the directors at home at the board meeting. Iger finished the part about the results that everyone was looking forward to in just a few sentences.
, what he is telling you now is all bad news.
This is the problem caused by backward communication. In fact, many problems are not so "new", but because effective real-time communication cannot be achieved, these problems can only be reported to everyone after Iger returns to the camp.
"The first bad news is that the number of infected people we have eliminated and the estimated number of infected people wandering in the wild are very different, so I suspect that there are still a large number of infected people who have left the roads and migrated in the wild.
But once the infected move off the road, we can't track it at all, so we have to warn all survivor teams, including the Green Zone team, to pay attention to their own safety and defense.
Andy, please pay attention to John's farm. Once their farm is attacked by an infected person, our losses will be extremely heavy."
The heavy losses that Iger mentioned were not the losses of crops, but the losses of the farmers of John's family.
The agricultural population in America accounts for less than 1% of the entire population. If the same proportion survives, there will be only 1 agricultural population in 100 survivors.
Moreover, these agricultural workers may not be able to grow food, and their number of people growing food is smaller.
Even in this kind of agricultural production area, agricultural production talents are extremely scarce, and the lessons of Ryan Cole cannot be repeated.
Regarding this issue, Andy and Iger did not avoid other directors and discussed it directly at the meeting.
Finally, they discussed jointly sending 20 security personnel to John's farm, who would be responsible for protecting the safety of John's farm before the wheat harvest, and did not require John and the others to pay any additional costs.
However, John's family needs to teach farming techniques to dispatched personnel. By next year, those who have mastered the planting techniques can expand production.
Egger proposed a second-phase goal: grain planting should reach at least 1,000 acres next year, and he hopes to reach 3,000 acres.
There are estimated to be tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land around Ross Town alone. It is such a waste that these lands lie idle like this.
Now that we have finished talking about the infected, Iger is going to talk about the people.
Egger told everyone what happened to the last lucky team.
On the second day after the joint field team set off, William, the leader of the last lucky team, came to Qixi Town. After he and Andy discussed in secret for a long time, William quietly took away the four imprisoned members.
Andy also knew about the fact that the last lucky team was maliciously targeted at this time, but he did not disclose it to the second person.
However, after Ige told the same thing again, he changed his tone and said seriously: "It can be known that there is at least one force maliciously targeting us in Puduo County.
However, the strength of this force should be relatively weak, so their strategy is to try to provoke conflicts between the last lucky ones and us, and even hope to see a war between the two sides.
When clams and cranes fight, they can reap the benefits (play both ends against the middle).
Fortunately they didn't succeed, but I think they might not give up using tricks.
To be honest, I don’t have much experience in this area, Erica, do you have any ideas?”
Erica pondered for a while and then said: "The most common situation in security work is that a 99-point defense is defeated by a 1-point attack. To be honest, there is no other good way except increasing the security manpower."
After Erica finished speaking, the venue fell into silence.
This situation is indeed very passive.
There is a saying: If you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?
The energy of a team is always limited. For this kind of passive all-round threat, even if all the resources are used, it cannot achieve long-term defense without blind spots.
Once there is negligence, or there is no negligence at all, but the defense loopholes are caught, not only will you pay a heavy price, but all the resources invested before will be wasted.
In the silence of everyone, Egger thought of a very classic case, and he thought that this method might be used.
Egger said slowly to everyone: "Do you know there is a very famous Ford fuel tank case?"
What Iger said was a bit beyond everyone's knowledge reserve. Everyone shook their heads in confusion. Only Andy knew what Iger meant.
In the 1970s, Ford had a very popular model. However, the fuel tank of this model was not well designed and could easily be broken when rear-ended, causing fuel leakage and explosion.
After Ford's upper management learned about this, they found accountants to conduct a benefit analysis.
The accountant calculated that if all cars were to be recalled, it would cost US$11 per vehicle to reinforce the fuel tank. Ford has sold 12.5 million units of this model, and the reinforcement cost for the recall alone would be US$137.5 million.
However, if the company pretends not to know and only compensates those who have been and will be killed and injured due to fuel tank explosions in the future, based on probability calculations, the maximum expenditure for these 12.5 million vehicles will only be US$49.5 million.
As a result, Ford decided to pretend not to know and maintain the status quo.
Egger's meaning is obvious. Since it is unknown whether the disaster will occur, in which area it will occur, what type it will occur, and the various casualties it will cause, we might as well pretend not to know and wait until it happens.
In this case, even if you encounter certain casualties in the future, the final cost may be less than a full day of vigilance.
After Andy pondered for a moment, he decided, "Just do it this way."
When everyone was confused, Andy and Iger reached a consensus.
Next was the security work for the Free Trade Conference. In order to facilitate the work, Egger left Erica in Jixi Town.
It had only been a few days since Iger had led the team, and Nicholas had already arrived from Qixi Town. Nicholas led the team around during the day, and when he returned to the camp at night, he had to ask Erica to open a small single room. Watching Nicholas work day and night,
Egg is worried that even if he is as strong as he is, he will suddenly fall down one day.
But Iger also knew that Erica might not be able to keep her.
When Erica went to Ross Town, it was because she was angry with Andy. Now that she has found sweet love again, she may not go to Ross Town again.
It doesn't matter if Erica leaves. Now that Erica has almost learned the skills of PiDe, he can lead the team in training. As for the physical training and shooting training that PiDe is not good at, he can leave it to Allen and Bill.
With blessings for the newlyweds in his heart, Iger said goodbye to Erica, and he returned to Ross Town with his large army.
Speaking of gains, Iger also had a little bit of success during this field trip.
Because he had nothing to do while staying at the Nancheng Building during the day, Iger set up a shooting range on the roof of the Nancheng Building. Since there were so many bullets downstairs, Iger practiced shooting with one-handed pistols upstairs every day. Joanna also had nothing to do, so she spent the whole day
Tian practiced shooting with him, mainly helping him load bullets.
As a result, one day, Egger suddenly realized that he could use the recoil of the pistol to point and aim.
To put it simply, it means abandoning the regular gun-holding action and adopting a horizontal holding style favored by gangsters.
Holding the pistol horizontally is a classic incorrect gun-holding movement, but gangsters like it very much, and even this gesture often appears in rap or hip-hop dance movements.
Through practice, Egger discovered that this action actually has its merits. For example, it can convert the upward jump of the pistol muzzle into a lateral movement, and use the jump of the muzzle to perform a horizontal sweep. In this way, whether it is aiming at the interval or firing
The intervals can be greatly reduced.
Of course, there are two problems with holding the pistol horizontally. One is that it is impossible to aim with the crosshair, but this problem has little impact on Egg. The other problem is that shooting like this makes people very tired.
Because the gun is held vertically, the force of the muzzle jumping and gravity are in a straight line, and the arm only needs to maintain force in one direction.
However, the force on the muzzle of a pistol held horizontally is perpendicular to the direction of gravity. In order to resist this oblique force, the human body's posture will become particularly weird. Not only does it have to raise its hands, but it also has to raise its shoulders and waist.
After shooting the magazine, my hands, shoulders, and waist were all sore.
However, after realizing that recoil was not useless, Egger's shooting skills were upgraded to level 10.
Originally, Egg thought there would be any difference in shooting at level 10, but found that it seemed to be no different from level 9.
What Iger doesn't know is that level 10 actually means that personal ability has entered the professional field. Anyone whose skills reach 10 can be called an expert.
This classification has no practical significance now, but it means that even if Egger does not have the talent of a marksman, his shooting ability is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Being able to improve a skill from 1 to 10 in more than half a year is a talent in itself.
After Egger returned to Ross Town, before he had time to rest, he first found Shandora and listened to her internal affairs report.
"What? A new biochemical laboratory has been built in Ross Town?"
As soon as Egg heard Shandora's report, he immediately jumped up from the sofa.
