Chapter 317 Go to War with Wang Jin?

The evening dusk spread over the vast plain, illuminating the figures of people carrying hoes and shovels. In front of them, a large base was located in the center of the plain. Because of the return of personnel, it gradually became lively.

These people were the 200,000 farmers collected by the Lingnan base. As night fell, they returned to the Lingnan base exhausted and enjoyed the dinner prepared by the base.

The Lingnan Plain is more than 300 square kilometers, and it is still very hard to organize it, especially in the current reclamation stage, it is even more busy. The farmers dare not neglect it, otherwise they will be found by the supervisory staff and their wages and food will be deducted lightly, or they will be fired.

You must know that this job is something they have fought hard for, and the benefits are much better than the previous digging for food in the wild, which makes these survivors and converted farmers cherish it especially.

More than 100,000 people returned to the Lingnan base. Those who worked in more distant places built wooden houses on the plain to rest, forming small villages. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to travel.

Lai Cheng, who was arranged by Wang Jin to rest in the government building, went out for a walk and happened to see a large number of farmers carrying hoes and shovels. He was secretly surprised.

As a neighbor of Lingnan Base, Banshuiwan Base knew the situation of Lingnan Plain. Although it was fertile land for planting, it had not been cultivated because of herbivorous insects.

Now seeing the situation of tens of thousands of farmers working, how could it not be seen that Wang Jin had solved this problem.

Thinking of the scale of more than 300 square kilometers of Lingnan Plain and the tons of grain produced every year, Lai Cheng was trembling. If Wang Jin developed it, how much benefit would it generate.

Food is precious in the end times. Everyone in the end times knows that with the output of Lingnan Plain, it is not a problem to supply millions of people.

"Brother Lai, Envoy Fan is looking for you." When Lai Cheng was observing the continuous flow of farmers into the city, Secretary Xiao Min came over and whispered.

Lai Cheng frowned slightly. He didn't like that arrogant guy in his heart. If he hadn't been helpless at the beginning, he wouldn't have accompanied him.

"Let's go." Although he didn't like it, Lai Cheng had no right to refuse because of his status. He followed the secretary back to the government building and entered the room where Fan Tianlong was staying temporarily.

"Messenger Fan, I wonder why you want to see me."

Fan Tianlong in the room was looking at a map. When he heard Lai Cheng talking, he looked up at Lai Cheng as if he had just realized that he had arrived. Lai Cheng cursed in his heart, saying that this was not the way to show off.

"Lai Cheng, your Banshuiwan base and Lingnan base are very close. Do you know the origin of Wang Jin? It is said that they control a very powerful group of mutant beasts. Do you know anything about it?"

Fan Tianlong asked, and Lai Cheng's heart tightened when he heard it, and his eyes looked around the house.

Discussing other people's secrets in other people's bases always made Lai Cheng feel terrified. If he was accidentally discovered, he would be misunderstood as a spy who came to gather intelligence, and his life might be in danger.

"Messenger Fan is joking. Although we are neighbors with Lingnan Base, Wang Jin rose too fast and we did not collect any intelligence. We only know that Wang Jin was originally the leader of a base called Lishan. Later, he had a conflict with Lingnan Base and defeated Liu Jun to occupy Lingnan Base."

Lai Cheng felt a little guilty. He knew a lot of information. Although Wang Jin had captured many spies from Banshuiwan Base, he did not catch them all because the spies did not know how many accomplices there were in Lingnan City.

In addition, Wang Jin's ordinary Zerg survivors and soldiers often saw him. It was not a secret. Lai Cheng still knew some information.

It was just that Lai Cheng did not like Fan Tianlong and was worried that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so he did not tell the information.

Fan Tianlong took a deep look at Lai Cheng. He could see that Lai Cheng was hiding something, but he was not in a hurry. He would ask his superiors to come directly when the time came. He did not believe that the Banshuiwan Base would not speak.

"If your Banshuiwan base fights Wang Jin, how confident are you?" Fan Tianlong was silent for a while, and suddenly said something shocking.

"Well, what!" Lai Cheng was relieved when he saw Fan Tianlong did not continue to ask, but Fan Tianlong's next words almost scared him to death.

"Xiao Min, you go outside first." Lai Cheng called the secretary outside. Since Fan Tianlong talked about this kind of thing, Xiao Min was not suitable to be here.

Xiao Min was also frightened by this, and hurriedly nodded and went out. It is better not to get involved in such things, otherwise there will be no head left.

"Emissary Fan, what are you kidding, going to war with Wang Jin? We don't want to jump into the fire pit."

Lai Cheng's tone was rarely serious, and there was even a hint of anger in it. As the top three figures in the Banshuiwan base, he knew the importance of this matter. If he was not careful, he could drag the Banshuiwan base into the abyss.

"I just want to ask how confident you are."

Fan Tianlong stared at Lai Cheng displeased, and was very dissatisfied with this guy for daring to question him.

Although Lai Cheng is a well-known figure in the Banshuiwan base, in Fan Tianlong's eyes, Lai Cheng is just a person of some weight and he is not qualified to question him.

Just like the city officials going down to the county and town, when facing the local officials, they will feel a little arrogant, even if their official positions are lower than others.

Fan Tianlong is just like this. As a senior executive of the New Ludong Base, which was established by the provincial government, he naturally looked down on other bases.

Lai Cheng saw Fan Tianlong's cold face. Even though he was unwilling, he didn't dare to contradict him. Otherwise, he could hold on to Fan Tianlong alone, but Fan Tianlong's backers were not something he and the Banshuiwan Base could withstand.

"Tell the truth to Envoy Fan. If we go to war with Wang Jin, we have no hope of winning." Lai Cheng said with a wry smile. Going to war with Wang Jin is like courting death.

What kind of person is Wang Jin? He defeated the Lingnan Base, which had an army of 150,000, a large number of fighter planes, artillery, missiles, armored vehicles, and tanks, and was formed by an army group.

Although the population of the Banshuiwan Base exceeded half of Wang Jin's Lishan Base, reaching 1.5 million, it only armed 70,000 troops in the end because it did not have enough weapons, and most of them were ordinary light hot weapons. Some soldiers' rifles were old and often jammed, and some even used old-fashioned shotguns.

A machine gun is a treasure of the Banshuiwan base, and armored vehicles and tanks are even more precious. Ordinary soldiers can't even see them, and they are tightly stored in the arsenal.

As for fighters and missiles, the Banshuiwan base has none of them. Long-range firepower is artillery, and there are not many of them.

The only air force is more than 30 helicopters, many of which are converted from police and rescue helicopters.

Banshuiwan is not rich, and China has strict gun control. Except for the military, not everyone can get arms, especially those heavy military weapons.

So with such weapons and equipment and manpower, Lai Cheng has no chance of defeating Wang Jin at all. The two sides are not opponents of the same level.
