During the meal, everyone was toasting each other and chatting lively.

Of course, the most talked about topic is the work arrangements of Zhao Lei and others.

Zhao Lei and others came to the East China Sea and they must be under Lu Ping's command.

"Commander Lu, to be honest, after arriving in the East China Sea, I felt a lot more relaxed and completely liberated."

"So forget about work, just let me enjoy my retirement in peace. After all, I'm old now."

"Chief of Staff Zhang and his men are in their prime and can still be put to good use. Commander Lu, please make some arrangements."

When mentioning work arrangements, Zhao Lei quickly put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Lu Ping.

"That's no problem, but Commander Zhao, you really..."

Lu Ping hesitated.

"Of course it's true. You don't know how much pressure I've been under in the past two years. I'm really tired and hope to have a good rest." Zhao Lei affirmed.

Zhao Lei was not being polite, he really wanted to step down.

His age is obvious, he is already fifty-six.

I have been worrying about Pingxiang for the past few years. I sleep less than four hours a day, and sometimes I don’t fall asleep until three or four in the morning. My energy has been exhausted.

Now that I'm in Donghai, it's a good time to retire and take a rest.

"Okay, I understand. Commander Zhao should take good care of himself first and wait until he has adjusted his condition." Lu Ping said.

"Thank you Commander Lu for your understanding." Zhao Lei said with relief.

Afterwards, everyone continued drinking.

They drank until late at night before disbanding.

After seeing off Zhao Lei and others, Lu Ping, Xia Mo and others also returned to their rooms to rest.

A night of silence.

The next morning, Lu Ping convened a high-level meeting at the headquarters.

At the meeting, Lu Ping made arrangements for the work of Zhang Kai and others.

Deputy Commander Zhang Kai was transferred to the position of Deputy Commander of the East China Sea Garrison, Chief of Staff Li Gang was appointed Chief of the East China Sea Police Department, and arrangements were also made for several other senior officials.

Zhao Lei's daughter Zhao Yu was assigned to be Xia Mo's deputy, responsible for assisting Xia Mo in managing logistics.

After the personnel appointments were completed, the meeting entered the main topic, which was the promotion of soldiers and the recovery of the East China Sea!

These two topics are actually one topic, which is to recover the East China Sea and carry out military training at the same time.

After Lu Ping proposed this motion, everyone expressed their agreement.

After all, Lu Ping had brought up this matter before, but it was delayed because of Pingxiang's incident.

Now that Lu Ping brought it up again, it was of course approved unconditionally.

Afterwards, Lu Ping, Zhao Yuanyi and others discussed the battle plan.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to first recapture the northeastern part of the city, and then achieve the goal of connecting the entire eastern region.

Then, decide the next direction of attack based on the situation.

Priority should be given to recovering the northeastern region, mainly because there is a sea to the east, which can reduce the number of attack directions.

The counterattack only requires advancing northward while guarding against the beast herds on the west side, without being attacked from all sides.

In addition, the Northeast region is also an industrial zone in the East China Sea, with many factories and rich resources.

Although some factories were certainly destroyed by the beasts, many still survived.

If these factories can resume production, it will be very beneficial to the future development of Donghai.

Everyone then discussed the specific plan and finally decided to adopt a leapfrog attack.

Lu Ping and the soldiers suddenly landed in a helicopter and summoned a city to separate the northeastern area from the surrounding beast herds.

Then, completely eliminate the beasts in the area.

The key to the success of the plan lies in whether Lu Ping and his soldiers can withstand the attacks of the beasts outside the city and buy time to eliminate the beasts inside the city and build the city walls.

If we can't stop it, all our efforts will be wasted.

"How many beasts are there in the area? How long will it take to eliminate them?"

Lu Ping asked seriously.

"Reporting to the commander, the total number of beasts in the area is approximately 50 to 70 million, with the lowest level being level 10, and there are probably less than 100,000 at level 30."

"To completely eliminate them, based on our current strength, it will take at least half a month."

The chief of staff reported immediately.

"What about the city wall? How long will it take to rebuild it?" Lu Ping asked.

"Commander, rebuilding the city wall will take approximately ten days, but we must wait until the beasts are cleared out, so the total will be twenty-five days."

The Chief of Staff replied.

"That is to say, we have to hold on for twenty-five days."

Lu Ping frowned slightly when he heard this. This time was too long.

"Commander, why don't we carry out a large-scale mobilization and call on the people to participate, so that the time can be shortened." Zhao Yuanyi said at this time.

“If mobilized, how many people do you think would respond?”

After a moment of silence, Lu Ping asked.

"Commander, I think there shouldn't be a shortage. After all, this isn't some other operation, it's about reclaiming our homeland, and everyone is willing to contribute."

Zhao Yuanyi said without hesitation.

"Commander, our Pingxiang soldiers and civilians are definitely willing to participate."

Zhang Kai also said at this time.

"Well, since you all say so, let's mobilize."

"Also, we've produced some special bullets, so we'll use them this time too."

"Form a dedicated team of clone warriors and have them specifically responsible for dealing with high-level monsters."

Lu Ping thought for a moment and spoke.

"Okay, I understand."

"But there's still a problem, which is the reputation required to summon the city, and the issue of repair durability."

"Commander, our soldiers don't have much reputation left." Zhao Yuanyi hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. Each soldier who performs the blocking mission will be given 300,000 reputation points, and this part of the reputation will be borne by the headquarters." Lu Ping said immediately.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Zhao Yuanyi nodded.

"Well, since everything is fine, let's get ready immediately."

"We will launch the attack tomorrow morning."

Lu Ping finally made the final decision.

"yes!"

Zhao Yuanyi and others followed orders.

Soon, pre-war preparations were carried out in full swing.

The soldiers began to get busy, preparing various equipment and items...

At the same time, public mobilization was also rapidly launched.

The superpowered people in the East China Sea received text messages one after another, and the loudspeaker began broadcasting...

Upon learning that a counterattack was about to be launched, the people of Donghai were excited and responded to the call!

"I'm going to kill monsters and reclaim my home."

"I want to become stronger, stronger!"

"I'm not afraid of death or sacrifice. I just hope my children can grow up safely and happily!"

"I'll go too. This way, at least I can find a way to survive for the children..."

"Dad, I will avenge you, as you are watching from heaven."

"Wife, leave the child to me, you can rest assured and recover."

“…”

Countless Donghai citizens went out of their homes and went to the designated location to register.

Of course, there are also those who are indifferent or timid and do not sign up.

This is not surprising, there are always selfish people.

But these people are a minority after all, and the vast majority of people choose to sign up.
