After all, in Chernobyl, it is common for people not to pick up things on the road and for doors to be left unlocked at night. Under the leadership of Su Xing, Chernobyl now has a utopian feel.

But Helag knew that situations like Chernobyl were rare, while exploitation and oppression were common in other places.

Soon, the intelligence officer came over and said, "Report to the commander, the coalition forces have already stationed in the front."

Herag asked, "What's the situation inside?"

"Because the coalition forces suddenly arrived in the snowfield, many of them simply cannot adapt to the low temperatures here. Now many of them have started to fall ill."

Chapter 110 Savile

Herag nodded, it seemed his guess was correct.

The army that suddenly arrived at the snowfield would definitely not be able to withstand the low temperatures here, so it is normal for them to get sick.

I just don't know if there are many sick people. If not, the coalition should be able to handle it quickly.

However, if the number of people increases, even the highest commander of the coalition forces will not dare to deal with it casually. After all, if the coalition forces mutiny, it will not be a trivial matter.

"Continue to explore and tell the comrades inside to hide themselves."

The People's Liberation Army also has its own people in the coalition forces. After all, Lev has developed a lot of his own people in the cities of Ursus.

These people are all lofty idealists, and each of them is a determined fighter. Because he was afraid of traitors among them, Lev was responsible for each of them when developing his own people, so as not to affect others after being discovered.

Moreover, there are many people who believe in new ideas, from all classes.

Whether they are sewer workers, teachers, or the aristocracy, these people have joined for the betterment of Ursus, and each of them is a very valuable revolutionary.

Herag also received news from Lev that there were his own people in the coalition forces, and the information in the coalition forces was all passed on by these people.

However, these people are hiding very deeply. After all, if they are discovered, they will be dead, so they cannot be careless.

After Herag waited for a while, new information came.

There are not many sick soldiers in the coalition forces. After all, these soldiers are strong and their physical fitness is much better than that of the lower-level people.

Most of the sick people were in charge of logistics. Many of these people were ordinary people captured by Ursus. They were originally hungry and cold due to high taxes, and now they were turned into coolies after being forcibly captured.

Moreover, the nobles who captured them were not so kind as to let them eat their fill. The food they gave them was just enough to ensure that they would not die. Under such circumstances, many people fell ill directly after entering the low temperature area such as the snowfield.

After all, how can one resist the cold weather if one is hungry and cold? Many people with weak physical fitness are in very bad condition after getting sick.

After learning about this, Helag wondered whether the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces would treat these people. After all, the people in charge of logistics were also members of the coalition forces, so they would not abandon these people, right?

Unfortunately, Hellagur still overestimated the moral bottom line of the Allied Forces' commander-in-chief. In their eyes, the lower class people are not human beings, and only those who are fellow nobles are their own people.

As for those ordinary people, they won’t feel sorry no matter how many of them die.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was called Savile, a middle-aged Ursus man with sparse hair. He was well-connected in the Ursus officialdom and was good at politics, so he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces this time.

Savile couldn't stand the snowy weather either. After all, he was a native southerner and had never been to the north.

The weather in the snowy field was still very uncomfortable for him. Now he was burning a fire in the tent and wearing a cotton coat, but even so, the cold air kept penetrating into his body, making him breathe out constantly.

Next to Savile was his adjutant, reporting to him on the situation in the coalition forces.

There was also a circle of officers sitting around, all of whom were responsible for fighting.

After learning that many people in the logistics department were sick, the first thing Savile thought of was to get rid of these people. After all, treating them would consume a lot of medical resources, and they might not get better.

What's more, those who are sick are just ordinary people, and Savile doesn't care about their life or death at all.

Anyway, they are just unimportant people, so if they die, they die.

Savile felt sorry for his adjutant: "These peasants are dead, so why bother with them? There are so many of them anyway, if they die, we can just catch them. I think those who are sick should just be killed directly, so that we can save some medical resources."

The adjutant's mouth twitched. How did this man become the commander-in-chief?

You know, the forced arrests have already caused some complaints from the people below, and if we continue to arrest Ursus, we will have no excuse in the eyes of the people below.

And they killed those who were sick. Have you really never considered the possibility of a logistics strike?

This is a battlefield. Even if you really don't care about the lives of the peasants, you cannot show it. There are many captured peasants in the logistics and coalition forces. Aren't you afraid of mutiny if you kill a sick person in front of them?

You know, there are a lot of sick people, including soldiers. If we kill those sick logistics personnel, what will these soldiers think? If you can kill the logistics personnel, can you kill me too?

Thinking of this, the adjutant said, "No, General. If you do this, it will destabilize the army. Besides, many people in the army are sick. If they know about this, it will shake the army's morale."

Savile's face also became solemn. Although he was the supreme commander, he could not command some of the nobles' elite troops because these people had their own commanders. He only had nominal command authority and could not order them around.

At this time, an officer nearby said, "I don't agree with this. After killing these people, there will definitely be fewer people in the logistics department. The logistics department of the army is responsible for a lot of things. Without these people, there may be some problems.

There are also many sick people in the army. If we kill them, it will easily cause problems for the army, and problems in the army will be difficult to solve."

None of the other officers agreed with Savile's idea. It was not because they had a change of heart or sympathy for the lower class, but because the consequences of doing so would easily cause problems for the army, so they rejected Savile's idea.

If it were their own army, these officers would think Savile's method was a good one, at least they wouldn't have to worry about the disease spreading.

But they were a coalition force with all kinds of factions in the army. They knew the possible consequences of doing so, so they directly rejected it.

Savile had no other choice. Since the officers disagreed, he would not risk offending them and take action against the logistics personnel.

One of the officers suggested: "Let's isolate those who are sick and let the doctors treat them first. We all live in the south, so it's definitely hard for us to adapt to the cold weather in the snowfield.

So it takes some time to adapt to the weather here, otherwise forcing the advance will only result in unnecessary sacrifices."

The officer's words were agreed by other officers. After all, they all lived in the warm areas in the south, and the weather here in the snowy plains was too unfriendly to them.

If they force their way forward without taking some time to adapt, many people will be sacrificed, which is not the result they want.

It would be fine if they died in the battle with the rebels, but they still couldn't accept dying from acclimatization or illness.

Chapter 111 Repair

Savile could only agree with the officers' ideas. Although he had considerable power, he could not refuse if all the officers objected. After all, these officers were all backed by nobles.

Since these officers did not agree with his method, Savile gave up, because even if he gave the order, no one would necessarily execute it.

After knowing that his method was not adopted, Savile turned his attention to the rebels. The scouts had already been sent out, and all he had to do next was wait.

Soon, a scout in white ran in.

Xavier looked at the scout and asked, "Have you spotted any rebels?"

"Report to the general, we have found some clues of the rebels, in the woods ahead."

After hearing this, Xavier frowned. He knew the woods ahead because he had asked for information about the snowfield before coming there. He knew everything about the terrain here.

The forest ahead is quite large and covers a large area. The trees in the forest are very tall and densely packed, so even an army would most likely get lost if they went in. This kind of forest is relatively rare in the snowfield.

What Savile was worried about was that the rebels were lying in ambush in the woods, which would make it difficult to eliminate them.

If possible, Savile didn't want to enter the woods. Thinking of the possible ambush in the woods, Savile would rather take a detour.

Unfortunately, the roads around the woods are extremely winding. From the photos sent by the scouts, it can be seen that if the coalition forces were allowed to take a detour, the losses would be extremely large. Even Savile did not dare to make a decision rashly.

Trying to pass through that rugged road would result in many casualties, but if they didn't take a detour, the rebels would probably ambush in the woods. Savile was worried that the army would suffer losses.

But after thinking about it, Savile didn't care. After all, even if the rebels ambushed them, what impact could they have on the coalition forces?

You know, the number of the coalition forces is 500,000 troops, although the number of rebels is unknown? But from the previous intelligence, Chernobyl is only a city of more than one million people, so the number of troops it can have is not too many.

According to Savile's guess, the maximum number of people would be 100,000. After all, the army's consumption of food is very serious. It is already a great thing that more than one million people can support 100,000 troops. If there are more, it will exceed this range.

The consequence of this is that the army will drag down the development of mobile cities, which will have very serious consequences both in terms of the economy and people's livelihood.

Doesn't Savile think that those who can defeat the Reunion Movement and seize Chernobog would be so stupid? So the 100,000 troops in Chernobog are the maximum number he guessed, and the reality may not be that many.

After all, Chernobog is a city that belongs to Ursus, and the people there would not dare to risk being beheaded by joining the rebels. If that were the case, those who joined the rebels would be in trouble when Chernobog is captured by the Ursus army.

Savile shook his head. It was too early to think about those things now. What he needed to care about was whether the rebels were really lying in ambush in the woods ahead, and whether the coalition forces would take a detour or march towards the woods after they had recovered.

There are too many uncertainties if we take a detour, and the road is so difficult to travel. In addition, the coalition forces are not adapted to the snowy weather at all, so there will definitely be a lot of casualties if we advance.

As for going directly into the woods, although the rebels may ambush us, the casualties should not be too great. Even if the rebels' weapons are more advanced, the number of coalition forces is sufficient. It should not be a problem to kill the rebels after sacrificing some people?

Thinking of this, Savile decided to march directly into the woods, first sending some cannon fodder to explore the way, and then letting the coalition forces supervise from behind.

Savile called the officers over, told them his plan, and prepared to listen to their opinions.

The officer did not refuse. After all, they would do the same thing if this method were used. Not only would taking a detour cost a huge amount of manpower and resources, it would also cause unnecessary non-combat casualties. Coupled with the low temperature in the snowfield, the number of casualties would be high.

If they go directly into the woods, they won't have as many troubles as taking a detour. Even if the rebels ambush them, it won't have much impact on them. They are just cannon fodders exploring the way anyway. Even if these people die, they will be able to react and they will just have to act according to circumstances.

After the discussion, Savile and the others made a decision to wait until the coalition forces adapted to the snowy weather and then march towards the woods.

............

On the other side, Herag looked at the information in his hand. This was sent by his comrades in the coalition forces. Now the army commander-in-chief Xavier has ordered the army to rest in place and the sick people have begun to be treated.

Herag was not surprised to hear the news. If the coalition was ruled by Savile alone, those sick people would definitely not escape being punished.

However, the coalition forces were dispatched by various nobles, and some of them had bottom lines. They would not allow Savile to deal with those sick people.

What would other people in the army think if he did that? Since the commander-in-chief dared to deal with those who were sick, what would he do if he got sick next time? Would he also be dealt with?

No one in the snowfield thinks that they will never catch a cold. After all, they are just ordinary people, not superhumans who are invulnerable to swords and guns and immune to all poisons.

Hellagur knew that there were some of his own people among the officers of the coalition forces. Although they were not high-ranking, they still had some status, so Hellagur was also aware of the plan discussed by Savile and others.

Since the other side intends to wait until the coalition forces adapt to the low temperature before attacking, they just need to wait patiently.

If the strength of both sides was similar, Hellagur would definitely take this opportunity to attack, but the number of the People's Liberation Army was too small. Even if the attack could destroy part of the coalition forces, the number of the opposite side was too large, so doing so would be meaningless.

It would be too unprofitable if the People's Liberation Army also sacrificed, and the purpose of the People's Liberation Army coming here is to delay the coalition forces and give Lev the opportunity to develop his own power in the rear.

If possible, we can take the opportunity to expand our power in the mobile cities. In that case, these people can provide a lot of help in attacking these mobile cities in the future.

Helag asked the People's Liberation Army to start resting. They could not fight here in a short period of time, so it was a good opportunity for the People's Liberation Army to learn guerrilla tactics during this time.

After all, the number of the People's Liberation Army is still too small, and it is more convenient to fight against the coalition forces with guerrilla warfare. Although they are not afraid of head-on confrontation, the number of the coalition forces is too large, and they can kill the People's Liberation Army even at the cost of human lives.

............

Chernobyl, Su Xing looked at the prototype of the tank in front of him and smiled, "It's almost there, it's almost there, the tank will be successful soon."

Chapter 112 Tank Manufacturing

In the past few years, Su Xing has been working on mastering the technology of tanks. It took him a lot of time, and with the help of his memories from his previous life, finally, his hard work paid off and the technology of tanks was finally mastered.

If Su Xing had continued to work hard, he would have been able to figure out the tank technology earlier, but the People's Liberation Army had just been established and various things were happening one after another. There were simply too many things to solve, and Su Xing simply did not have that much time to study tanks.

Like the management problems after the capture of Chernobyl, and the education issues for the People's Liberation Army and the grassroots people after they were resolved.

Then there is the issue of food, followed by the issue of industrialization. In addition to these, we must also comfort the people of Chernobyl and tell them not to panic.

In addition to these, it is also necessary to solve the workers' employment problems and cleanse the aristocracy in Chernobyl, killing those who have committed serious crimes and sending those who have committed less serious crimes to labor camps.

In addition, they also have to face the encirclement of Ursus, and the People's Liberation Army also needs to research its weapons. After all, what the People's Liberation Army needs at the beginning is not tanks. Even if Su Xing makes it, no one will drive it.

Therefore, the weapons at the beginning were relatively simple weapons such as rifles and grenades, which could be used as long as one had a normal brain. These weapons were much simpler than tanks.

Precisely because there were too many things that needed to be solved, Su Xing had no time to study the tank and could only study it slowly in his free time.

At the beginning, weapons like tanks were indeed unnecessary, so Su Xing was not in a hurry.

But it is no longer possible now. The nobles of Ursus have already sent a coalition force. It is too difficult to rely on the Liberation Army. It is not that the Liberation Army is weak, but that their number is too small. You know, if the number reaches a certain level, there will be a qualitative change.

However, Su Xing still has confidence in the People's Liberation Army. Even if they face the Ursus noble coalition, they can win. They have weapons that are beyond their time and firm ideas, plus they have their own people in the coalition.

These three things have made the People's Liberation Army invincible, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers with ideas and soldiers without ideas is completely different.

However, even if they could win, Su Xing did not want the PLA to confront the coalition forces head-on, because even if they could win in the end, the PLA would definitely suffer heavy losses. Su Xing did not want to see the PLA suffer heavy casualties.

To solve this problem, tanks are necessary.

How can a minority of troops defeat a majority of troops?

Either the large army is too rubbish, with every soldier being old, weak, sick or disabled, or they are all in a vegetative state.
