A fortieth-level general, although his strength cannot be compared with Lu Ping and others, he is not inferior to the Black Dragon Crocodile. Even if he encounters the Black Dragon Crocodile, he can still compete with it.
What's more, Lu Ping has more than 3,000 rank 40 generals under his command.
With them in charge, Lu Ping really doesn't have to worry and doesn't need to stay here all day.
"Okay, since you suggest this, let's withdraw today."
"However, just in case, I will lower two cities to the northwest and southeast corners and arrange for Xishi and Zhang Jue to live there. They will take turns on duty."
Lu Ping thought about it.
This is the safest way.
"Um!"
Xia Mo smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, Tang Qi and Xia Mo went to the northwest and northeast corners of the city respectively, while Lu Ping called Xi Shi and others and arranged for them to be on duty.
There are eight people led by Xi Shi and four led by Zhang Jiao, a total of twelve people. With two people working every twelve hours, it won’t be too tiring to rotate every three days.
"My lord, I have something to report."
As soon as Xi Shi and others left, Li Jing came to the door.
"What's the matter? Just tell me directly." Lu Ping said.
"My Lord, I have discovered that fire attacks are very effective against beasts. We should expand the use of fire attacks."
Li Jing suggested.
"Fire attack!"
"Yes, it's a fire attack. I know there's something called diesel here that can produce a big fire. Now the season is southeast wind, and the wind is blowing towards the northwest, so we are not afraid of the thick smoke." Li Jing continued.
"Yeah, good idea."
Lu Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, because this method was indeed feasible.
The smell of burning diesel is very pungent and it produces thick smoke, which is very harmful to humans if inhaled.
But if it is a southeast wind, it won’t be a problem, as it will blow the smoke to the northwest.
"Wait a moment."
After Lu Ping finished speaking, he took out his phone and called Xia Mo.
"How much diesel do we have?"
The call was connected, Lu Ping asked.
"There are a lot. We got a lot before. We also have quite a few in the East China Sea."
"About 400,000 tons, I think. Also, I remember there are several million tons of crude oil at the dock, it just needs to be refined."
"Husband, what do you want diesel for?"
Xia Mo said with some surprise.
"I plan to set it on fire with diesel." Lu Ping said.
"Set fire to the herd?"
"Yes, it's burning the beasts."
"Will this... hurt ourselves? Diesel combustion is poisonous and produces thick smoke?" Xia Mo hesitated.
"I know this, you know it well."
"Well, after you and Tang Qi finish your business, return to the headquarters immediately. I'll go back right away too. We'll meet up with Lao Zhao and the others to discuss the details."
Lu Ping said calmly.
"Okay, no problem, I'll be back right away." Xia Mo said cheerfully.
"Come with me."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ping took Li Jing to the headquarters.
…
Half an hour later, headquarters.
After everyone gathered, Lu Ping introduced the idea of fire attack to everyone and asked Li Jing to explain it in detail.
"That's a good idea. I think it's feasible."
After listening to Lu Ping's introduction, Zhang Kai was the first to express his opinion.
"I agree."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Well, I also think it's feasible, but large-scale fires produce thick smoke and high temperatures, which are both toxic. Although it is the southeast wind season now, I think we should try to control it a little to avoid being caught off guard." Zhao Yuanyi said after thinking for a moment.
"Of course, that's no problem."
"Okay, since everyone has no problem with it, then it's settled."
"Chief of Staff Zhang, you will be responsible for the specific implementation." Lu Ping ordered.
"Yes." Zhang Kai agreed.
"Deputy Commander Zhao, Xia Mo told me that we have a lot of crude oil at our port, right?" Lu Ping asked again.
"Yes, there are several oil tankers in the port, all of which are 300,000 to 500,000 tons."
"Commander, do you mean to make use of this crude oil?"
Zhao Yuanyi said directly.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. I remember we have an oil refinery in the East China Sea." Lu Ping nodded.
"Yes, but it has been stopped now. If there are enough workers, it can be restarted."
"But the problem is that we don't have that many workers." Zhao Yuanyi said with a wry smile.
"Have the 4,000 clones from the Academy of Sciences been delivered?" Lu Ping asked.
“It has been delivered, but it is still far from enough.”
"Many of our factories have now resumed work. In addition, urban management, warehouse management, material transportation, military maintenance, medical care... all kinds of miscellaneous affairs need to be handled by clones."
"If I give you another 4,000 clones, can the refinery resume production?"
After thinking about it, Lu Ping said again.
"Of course, a thousand people will be enough to resume work at the refinery, and the rest can be deployed elsewhere."
Zhao Yuanyi affirmed.
"Hubby, we don't have any clones. Second uncle is still producing."
Xia Mo heard this and said quickly.
She thought Lu Ping was counting on the batch of clones that his second uncle had promised to give him.
Xia Mo had urged this matter before, but Xia Tianhao clearly told Xia Mo that the first batch of clones would not be offline for at least three months.
"Haha, of course I know that."
"You forgot, we still have clones in our shelter." Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Oh, how could I have forgotten about that."
After hearing Lu Ping's explanation, Xia Mo suddenly understood.
There are three thousand clones in the Luping Island shelter, and there are also two thousand clones in the two shelters left by Xia Guohua in the East China Sea.
"So, we will only keep one thousand of these clones and let them be responsible for the normal maintenance of the shelter. The rest can be used." Lu Ping said.
"Okay, leave this to me. I'll arrange it later."
Xia Mo nodded.
"The Commander still has clones?"
Zhao Yuanyi was surprised when he heard the conversation between Lu Ping and the other two.
"Well, I got it before and have forgotten about it." Lu Ping said with a smile.
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanyi showed a look of realization.
He knew that Lu Ping owned a shelter and had clones, but he never thought there were so many.
"Okay, that's it. Xia Mo will hand over all the clones to you later, and you can make the specific arrangements."
"The diesel we have now is definitely not enough. We have to produce more."
"In this way, we can also save a large amount of weapons and ammunition."
Lu Ping made the decision.
"Yes, no problem."
Everyone agreed.
Afterwards, Lu Ping announced the adjournment of the meeting and everyone went about their business.
"Hubby, listening to what Zhao Yuanyi said just now, we have a lot of clones missing. Should I urge my second uncle again?"
After returning to the villa, Xia Mo asked.
"Don't rush me. Didn't your uncle say we have to wait at least three months? It's not good for us to keep rushing."
Lu Ping shook his head.
"Oh, okay then. I'll listen to you." Xia Mo nodded.
