Chapter 428 Starting the underground base

"...This long supply line will be full of uncertainty. After all, what we are occupying now is Nancheng, not the territory under the jurisdiction of the regular Nancheng. As far as I know, there are still many armed forces loyal to Utopian cities active around Nancheng. Most of these troops exist in the form of family consortiums or small towns, ranging from hundreds to thousands. Over time, these armed forces will gradually form a powerful resistance force. We can now divide troops into multiple groups to kill all the armed forces within the jurisdiction of Nancheng and consolidate the fruits of victory.

While consolidating the rear, we should form an army that is strong enough to compete with the northern military region to move northward. Of course, going northward is just a form of motivating morale. We can slow down and advance little by little, completely strangle all the resistance forces along the way.

In the process of advancing, we must promulgate a series of policies, such as severe punishments to the government forces that resist the rebel army, such as hanging the highest commander, etc., establishing majesty. We must treat those surrendered soldiers and senior officials in a friendly manner. It is best to entrust important tasks. With the same kindness and power, many senior officials and soldiers in the swing will make the right choices, and they can disintegrate their unity from within...

Here, it should be pointed out that war will consume huge resources, and we must prepare for the future. During the war, we must not forget production. Whether it is agriculture or animal husbandry, we must strongly support and develop to avoid large-scale famines due to war. Once the famine spreads, the Wei family rebel army will lose its legitimacy and be questioned by the people.

Regarding the big family, or tribal leaders, we cannot indulge them in addition to adopting gentle and pacifying methods. Throughout history, a large part of the root cause of a country is inspired by the conflicts between families and tribes. The Wei family’s rebel army must pay attention to this point in adopting manpower, avoid a nepotism. Even if the surrendered warlords do not pursue legal responsibility, they must deprive them of military power, and at least disrupt their organization and make soldiers loyal to the country rather than to the individual!

Finally, let me mention one thing, that is, the distribution of interests.

Anyone, including myself, wanted to maximize the interests of his family at the beginning of the uprising, and this idea would lay hidden dangers for the future country. However, we cannot ignore the rights and interests of the rebel army. Therefore, in the distribution of interests, we must be cautious and not make promises at will. The distributed interests are distributed according to the size of the credit. Moreover, the distribution of interests is best in the form of honor, rather than the control of military and administrative rights, so that one can avoid the situation of one's dominance..."

...

After the Austin leader finished speaking, a long-lasting applause rang out from the hall.

When the applause stopped, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Fei again. In fact, most of Austin's words were directed at Liu Fei, who was afraid that Liu Fei would take over the power and form a dictatorial country like the utopian republic. Liu Fei did have such ability.

Of course, people simply thought that Liu Fei had no interest in managing the country at all.

"General Austin said it right. We overthrew the Utopian Republic not to re-establish a dictatorial country, but to realize the dreams of the first residents of the ideal star, fairness, justice and freedom! There are many difficulties we have to overcome at present, but in fact, the difficulties we face are not too great. After all, we are not crossing the river by feeling the stones. In the history of mankind, democratic systems have long existed. In the seven major star fields, democratic countries are still mainstream. We have many unique conditions. We don’t have to take detours. We can establish a country with complete and sustainable development before the founding of the country, such as depriving warlords of rights, separation of powers, etc...."

After Liu Fei finished speaking, a warm applause broke out in the conference room again. You know, Liu Fei's words had no selfishness to follow, and people's eyes when they looked at Liu Fei were filled with lofty respect.

"We have determined the macro direction of the country. What remains is how to solve the remnants of the Utopian Republic as soon as possible. In fact, we have no advantage at present. Of course, that refers to the comparison of cold weapons and numbers. Our army has a big gap with the Utopian Republic's army, both in terms of military and personal qualities. Therefore, if we want to win, we are not only relying on the army, but also faith and will, so that the soldiers know that the final winner must be us!

In military terms, we should be bigger. Don’t let the utopian bureaucrats have any hope and don’t let them breathe. We want us to overcome fear and fear. We must face it bravely, because behind you, not me, but the entire human world. We must make the enemy feel fear and fear, not only to eliminate them spiritually, but also physically, and not to have any illusions. Our army will kill to the south city as if it were unstoppable. Our reinforcements will arrive from all directions, and Utopian City will become an isolated island, and the enemies there will be panic all day long..."

...

The conference room was quiet.

Several years later, many people mentioned this meeting in their memoirs that most people disagree with Liu Fei's military advancement. At that time, the environment in Nancheng was not suitable for expeditions. However, no objection was raised because anyone could see Liu Fei's determination and courage for the war.

The meeting was exciting at the beginning, but at the end, everyone was worried, including the Grand Chief Austin.

In the next few months and a month, the entire Nancheng entered a state of preparation.

In the Nancheng Military Region, the soldiers were practicing hard every day. The scouts and food had already gone north to explore military information. The carriages that left the city every day stretched for dozens of miles, and the entire Nancheng was filled with a tense atmosphere of war.

On the 37th day after occupying the South City, Austin leader and Wei San led an army of 300,000 out of the city, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians came to see each other out of the city.

On the 42nd day after occupying the Nancheng, Dezi led 100,000 troops and horses and food to the city.

At the same time, Wei Xiong was not idle either. The troops he led were divided into several small teams to sweep away the remnants of hundreds of kilometers...

When the curtain of the war was opened, Liu Fei was like an outsider and was in a secret underground military base all day long.

It took nearly twenty days for Liu Fei to finally activate the nuclear power system of this huge military base.

When Wei Chongyang and a group of officials arrived at the underground military base, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

The metal dome, which is dozens of meters high, is like the lights of daytime, and the air emits the smell of metal. Under that light, the metal flashes with a charming luster, and the indicator lights flashing everywhere are as dazzling as stars on the light...

When everyone was marveling at the advanced technology of the first batch of immigrants in the Utopian Republic, they were full of admiration for Liu Fei's persistence and concentration.

Restarting a military base that has been closed for hundreds of years is a huge challenge in itself, not to mention that Liu Fei was without any help.
