Chapter 247 Strategic Direction
After dealing with the enthusiasm of a group of people, Zhang Qiang finally had time to find a quiet place to smoke.
Alexandria's wall was still being expanded. Zhang Qiang hid behind the construction area. After smoking for a while, he was discovered by Alan who was patrolling the surrounding area.
"Principal, give me one too."
Alan held the rifle in his arms and stretched out a hand toward Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang mercilessly slapped her hand away and scolded her, "You're not even an adult yet, what the hell are you doing?"
Alan smiled and tried to find other topics to discuss with Zhang Qiang. Only then did Zhang Qiang realize that this girl just wanted to stick to him because she was bored.
Zhang Qiang waved his hand impatiently and said to Alan, "Can't you go play with Karl and the others? Can you leave me alone for a while?"
Ailan shook his head mercilessly, and unknowingly hugged Zhang Qiang's waist, saying, "No, I just want to stay with the principal."
Zhang Qiang blew away his cigarette holder with a puff, pulled Alan's arm away, and said, "Go away, I'm on vacation now, do what you need to do, don't bother me."
Alan pursed his lips and complained: "You weren't like this before. Don't you like hugging me very much?"
Zhang Qiang widened his eyes. Alan had entered puberty and had grown a lot taller. Would it be appropriate for him to sit on his lap like before?
"You've grown up, Alan."
Zhang Qiang patted Alan on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
In the past, Alan was like a doll. Zhang Qiang held her to show his goodwill to the Green family. Now Alan has grown up too well and looks like a grown-up girl. If he holds her like before, Maggie would probably be furious when she sees her.
Girls have to avoid their fathers when they grow up, and Zhang Qiang doesn't want Maggie to think there is something wrong with him.
Zhang Qiang left quickly. Ailan frowned as she watched him run away, feeling very unhappy. The principal's attitude towards her now seemed a little distant.
Why is it?
Alan was puzzled, but she already had a plan. As long as she could make achievements, Principal Zhang's attitude towards her would definitely improve.
Alan took off the walkie-talkie from his waist and called Aaron, Carl and others.
Aaron has been outside recruiting survivors for a long time and learned of the existence of another community. Alan decided to go to that community and persuade them to join the Destiny Front.
Hilltop Village is a community led by Maggie in the later part of the original series. Its main building is a mansion in colonial architectural style. Because it is located on a hill and the community wall is built of a pile of sharpened wooden piles, it is called Hilltop Village.
After his boyfriend's death, Aaron took only one day off and then returned to work. In the outside world, he met a member of the Hilltop Village, a man with long hair and a beard.
Jesus, the man with long hair and beard, introduced himself this way. His name is the same as God (Son).
Alan handed the patrol work to Abraham and went to meet Aaron.
"Aaron."
"Alan, what do you need me to do?"
Aaron knew that Alan must need his help. When Alan spoke up for everyone and shot Negan, Aaron promised to do anything for Alan.
"You said there is another community outside called Hilltop Village, right?" Alan said.
"Yes." Aaron looked at Alan in confusion.
"I want them to join the Destiny Front," Alan said calmly.
Hearing Alan's words, Aaron opened his mouth slightly with a look of surprise.
Although it would be a good thing in itself to allow other communities to join the Mandate of Heaven and be protected by the regular army, Aaron did not think that unfamiliar communities would be interested in such a thing.
It is normal for people to feel doubt and fear.
"Do you need me to lobby them? No problem, but I can't guarantee that they will agree." Aaron said nervously.
"I'll go with you," said Alan.
Aaron glanced at the holster on Alan's waist and nodded in approval. With Alan around, the safety of the trip would definitely be guaranteed.
"Eric, Patrick, Carl, take your equipment. It's better to be prepared." Alan said to the others.
A few minutes later, everyone drove away from the Alexandria community with their equipment.
Zhang Qiang did not participate more in the construction of the community. As he said, he came here for vacation and he didn't want to do anything that had no emotional value.
Of course, being in such a high position, it was impossible for Zhang Qiang to stay out of everything. He soon received a communication from Kate, who wanted him to verbally authorize an action plan.
Myers' team developed rapidly in Charlotte, and they discovered a large number of surviving people and resources in the city.
Kate plans to send troops to occupy Charlotte International Airport and develop the Karmic Force's base in Virginia.
"Is it too early now?" Zhang Qiang hesitated while holding the walkie-talkie.
Zhang Qiang still felt that the army was too small in number. Just maintaining stability in Zuozhou was already dispersing the troops. If a large force were to advance towards other states, would the army be able to cope with it?
"Zhang, all the major military bases in Zuozhou have been occupied by us, and the civilian population has discovered many hidden resource repositories. We should take this opportunity to continue to expand our influence." Kate said.
Zhang Qiang understood what Kate meant. It was nothing more than taking advantage of the fact that other big cities had not yet developed a strong force, and the Destiny Army would use its huge size to occupy and stake its claim to sovereignty and seize the resources in the city.
"Okay, I agree."
Zhang Qiang authorized Kate. Although this matter was a bit urgent, time waits for no one. There must be many survivors in the outside world. As long as the Tianming Army gathers the resources of the city first, the wandering survivors will inevitably flock to the Tianming position in large numbers in order to survive.
Zhang Qiang cut off contact with Kate. Given his current situation, he at most thought that doing so was beneficial, but he would never have thought that the Pioneer Plan and Kate's new action were a two-pronged approach that would soon bring huge results to the Destiny Front.
In the supermarket community occupied by Myers in Charlotte.
Daryl and Miles leaned against the armored vehicle, waiting for Kate's order, surrounded by a group of soldiers and militia pioneers ready to go.
A group of big men were smoking and chatting, militiamen and soldiers were chatting about recent events, and women and children were taking a walk around the iron fence.
Miles' community has taken in many survivors, and there are even more inside the supermarket.
Daryl glanced at the civilians walking around. The newcomers were all dirty. The difficulty of surviving outside made them have no time to pay attention to personal hygiene.
"Miles, you need to do a thorough cleaning here, otherwise everyone will get sick." Carol said while wearing a mask.
Daryl glanced at Miles and nodded in agreement with what Carol said.
Miles smiled embarrassedly. He had just become a leader in a community and had no experience in many things.
"Got it. I'll make the arrangements after I finish this mission," Miles said.
Daryl was noncommittal.
Miles is More's "big disciple", and Daryl brought the search team to Charlotte City, which was indeed out of selfishness to help Miles. But now, this seems to be a good thing. Miles' team discovered the potential of Charlotte City, and various uncollected resources made the headquarters willing to send people here.
"You and they don't have to take part in this operation."
Daryl glanced at the surrounding militiamen and whispered to Miles.
The order from headquarters will definitely be issued soon. Daryl knows Zhang Qiang's character and way of doing things, and Kate's expansion plan will definitely be authorized.
Miles was a little confused by Daryl's dissuasion, but he soon realized that Daryl was worried about their safety.
