178 Fortress exists for war, so from its beginnings, it was destined that other barriers were different.

There are no dazzling shops on the street, nor are there pedestrians dressed in particularly gorgeous clothes. Some girls change into long skirts early in the spring season, but the long skirts are also made of coarse cloth.

The clothes in the entire barrier are monotonous in color, either dark blue, earthy yellow, or dark green.

At this time, the textile dyeing technology of Fortress 178 is still at the most basic immersion and rolling dyeing, and the clothes that have been worn for a long time will fade.

As Wang Shengyin said, the northwest is one of the most suitable places to grow cotton, but the technology here is lacking, and all the power is developing the military industry, and efforts are still to make everyone eat enough.

Where can I study any fancy things?

After Xu Xianchu left, Ren Xiaosu, Wang Shengzhi and others walked out of the small building and carefully looked at the legendary fortress.

The pedestrians on the street would look at them sideways when they saw them, because except Ren Xiaosu, the others seemed a little out of place.

Wang Shengyin also changed into a long skirt at this time, but the blue long skirt looked like it could not be produced in this fortress. Wang Shengyin said that this blue is called Tiffany Blue, which is popular in the Central Plains and is a color worn by a female singer.

Ren Xiaosuxin said that there would probably be no such celebrity singer in the 178 Fortress. He saw that the women in the 178 Fortress were carrying shoulder poles like men.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked Wang Shengzhi: "What do you think Mr. Zhang will deal with Zong?"

Wang Shengzhi looked up at him and smiled, "Do you want Fortress 178 to avenge you, right?"

"Yes," Ren Xiaosu admitted frankly: "But if this was not the 178 Fortress's own decision, I wouldn't have brought others to be unlucky with me. I can do a lot of things myself."

At this time, Ren Xiaosu was thinking that if the 178 Fortress was unwilling to send troops to the Zong family and clear the obstacles on the trade route, then he would sneak into the Zong family by himself.

He may not be able to do what Li Shentan can do.

Wang Shengzhi smiled and said, "Look at the pedestrians on the street."

"Hmm?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment.

"Everyone is actually carrying out their own food poles. Where are they carrying it?" Wang Shengzhi asked.

"Take it out and sell it?" Ren Xiaosu said.

"The farmers are outside the fortress, and these are just ordinary residents. What food do they sell?" Wang Shengzhi smiled and said: "They are spontaneously concentrating all the food they have stored into the hands of the defenders of the 178th Fortress."

"What is this for?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He really didn't know much about military affairs. He had encountered a skill of advanced military command before, but he had no skill map to learn at that time.

"This is the 178 Fortress is preparing for war. All the food is gathered in the hands of the defenders for wartime allocation," Wang Shengzhi explained with a smile: "If you are determined to avenge Zong, don't worry. If Mr. Zhang didn't think about it, he wouldn't let me come to the northwest. He has made his own decision."

178 Fortress wants to cash out huge mineral reserves, make the lives of the residents in the fortress better, and obtain better armament, it must open up this trade route.

However, Zong would not allow all this to happen. How could he allow others to sleep soundly on his bed? This is the inevitable result of the growth of an interest group.

...

In the simple conference room of the 178 Fortress, a group of officers quarreled around a huge sand table model. Zhou Yinglong shouted: "I have disliked Zong for a long time. You all know that the deployment of the old boys of Zong's family is facing our 178 Fortress. What is the purpose? I don't need to say more, right?"

"Everyone knows this," someone said, "I went to the river valley area a while ago and found that the Qing family was also disturbing the matter here, but Qingzhen's plan was not in our 178 Fortress. Now his people are going to attack the Yang family, and the Zong family is the only one left in the river valley area."

"If we want to open up the trade route, the best construction route is to take the road in Dingyuan Mountain. It is said that that road was still a highway before the disaster, right? This is the fastest road, but Dingyuan Mountain is still in the hands of the bandits of the Zong family. Guanshan in the north is equivalent to the advance base of Zong family," Xu Xianchu analyzed: "So, even if we don't attack Zong family, the Dingyuan and Guanshan line must be in our own hands."

"How to master it?" Zhou Yinglong retorted: "We don't have enough manpower, and if we can fight, it's a bit too much to occupy. How many people do you have to put in to prevent the Zong family's sneak attack? And then the Zong family cut off the retreat route of the distant mountain defenders from the road, and the soldiers there immediately turned into an isolated island, and it was desperate to think about it."

"Yes, what Lao Zhou said makes sense, how can there be a reason to defend against thieves for thousands of days?" said a burly man: "Zong is right in front of you. These old guys have been too restless all these years. They have used the 178 Fortress as imaginary enemies everywhere. When we guarded the 178 Fortress and helped them resist the kindness of the Western enemies, they all forgot!"

During the whole night, the entire conference room was noisy, with one word on the left and one right, and it was very lively.

Zhang Jinglin always stood next to the sand table, quietly looking at the veins on the sand table model. The sand table covers so much that it covers the entire southwest and northwest, and even a small part of the Central Plains.

However, at this time someone suddenly said, "But what if the Western enemies come again when we attack Zong clan?"

Everyone looked at each other, Zhou Yinglong hesitated and said, "It's not like this for sixteen years, isn't it such a coincidence?"

The speaker said calmly: "Because of hair, skin color, our people can never penetrate into their camp. Similarly, they can't penetrate, so everyone doesn't know each other's condition. How do you know that they really won't come? What if we really catch up, they will be attacked from both sides."

178 Fortress ignored Zong for so many years, not because they were willing to endure the hyenas being presumptuous at their doorstep, but because they had a more important mission to prevent them from dispersing their troops.

Zhou Yinglong and others felt a little frustrated. They must admit that mission comes first.

The Zong family, the Qing family, the Yang family and the Central Plains may not thank them, but the mission is the mission.

Suddenly, Zhang Jinglin said, "Fight."

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone could hear each other's breathing. Zhou Yinglong and others' eyes lit up, and their cheeks gradually flushed. That was the bloody courage before every battle.

No matter what they talk about in this conference room, no matter how many different ideas they have, only Zhang Jinglin was the final decision when he spoke.
