Following Rosa back to the camp, Shasha took a shower and changed clothes. Stepping out of the tent, she found several officers responsible for guarding the camp alongside Rosa. Shasha paused for a moment before laughing, "You all really know how to make an entrance."
"We were just about to hold a meeting, so we came to wait for you," Rosa explained.
Shasha nodded. "Let's go then; I want to know what's going on."
The group entered the meeting tent, and once seated, Rosa began to speak slowly. "Our communication system has been cut off. The urgent task now is to find a way to re-establish the communication network. Yellowstone City has a complete communication network, and not long ago, they sent out a signal. The Ninth Armored Division of the People's Liberation Army of China is stationed there, with Lianfeng as the commander. We must hurry to Yellowstone City and join them, but as you've seen along the way, those guys are closely following us."
Upon hearing this, Shasha furrowed her brow and asked, "What about the newly appeared werewolves?"
"They are warriors from Death God Karl's Wolf Star. The Wolf Fleet stationed around here is their third main fleet. Since they joined the battlefield, Tao Tie's influence has expanded significantly."
Rosa looked worried. "We need to find a way to break through the Wolf Fleet's blockade."
Shasha thought for a moment and asked, "How much fighting strength do we have left? And how many civilians are there?"
"Aside from the recently fallen Left Wing Forces, we have about 9,000 troops left, while there are roughly 10,000 civilians."
Shasha frowned at this; the civilian ratio was too high while the number of guards was low. If the Wolf Fleet launched an all-out attack from all sides, it was likely that only a handful of those 10,000 civilians would survive.
Finding a way to accommodate the civilians was one problem; another was how to establish contact with nearby allied forces and consolidate scattered troops. Only by strengthening their forces could they withstand pressure and even turn the tide.
"Is there any way we can repair the communication network?" Shasha suddenly asked.
Rosa shook her head slowly. "There's no way. The communication towers have been destroyed; the entire communication system in Huaxia is down."
"Why not use a telegram?" Shasha asked curiously. "Although the telegraph machine has been outdated for a long time, it is still the only communication device we can use, right?"
As soon as she said this, everyone exchanged glances, their faces showing a mix of amusement and disbelief. They had been troubled by communication issues for so long, only to realize they had fallen into a misunderstanding.
With modern technology developed, communication methods had shifted from telegraph codes to quantum systems. Many people living in the current era had long forgotten the conveniences created by their predecessors. If it weren't for the current situation forcing communication back to its primitive state, no one would have thought of using telegrams.
Thus, Rosa gathered the soldiers in her unit who knew how to operate the telegraph and dug out a few old machines. They began attempting to transmit information through signals, praying that nearby allied forces would receive it.
In Yellowstone City, the government building had become a temporary command center, while the city center served as a refuge for the public, surrounded by heavy defenses.
As the commander, Lianfeng reinforced the fortifications according to strict defensive measures, managing and coordinating her 50,000 troops in an orderly manner, making it difficult for the Tao Tie Legion to breach the city in the short term. At the same time, she was working hard to restore the communication system. However, due to the destruction of communication towers and satellites, she could only rely on old telegraph machines to send messages, hoping that nearby allies would be somewhat clever.
While handling affairs within the city, Lianfeng's brow never relaxed. The issues of resettling citizens, food and water supplies, and various defense arrangements constantly troubled her.
Resources were scarce; this was not like before. The entire nation had been dragged into war, with food bases and water resources in high demand. Some areas were completely paralyzed. It was hard to imagine that in this era there would be shortages of supplies when the reality was right before them.
The available resources could only sustain them for a month. After that, shortages would arise, leading to inevitable instability among the populace.
"I really hope nearby allies can bring supplies," Lianfeng sighed as she set down her pen used for signing documents and leaned back in her wooden chair, feeling utterly exhausted.
Suddenly, someone pushed open the office door. Just as Lianfeng was about to reprimand whoever entered, the messenger burst in with an excited expression. "Commander! We received communication from allied forces south of Giant Gorge City!"
Lianfeng immediately forgot about scolding him and took the telegram from his hands to read carefully. Before long, a look of surprise spread across her face. "So it's Shasha and Rosa! They have 10,000 civilians and around 9,000 troops along with plenty of supplies!"
After the surprise, Lianfeng regained her composure. Thoughts raced through her mind, and in an instant, orders slipped from her lips. "Send the First and Second Regiments to advance from the north. Half of the personnel from the Fifth and Sixth Regiments, responsible for city security, will be reassigned to bolster their defenses!"
The messenger took the orders and left. Lianfeng placed the telegram on the table, a look of anticipation crossing her face.
Yellowstone City had long lacked high-end combat power capable of intimidating the enemy. The arrival of Shasha was enough to fill this gap, especially with Rosa's impressive personal and command abilities. Yellowstone City was bound to become one of the strongholds for the counteroffensive.
With this thought, a long-lost smile finally appeared on Lianfeng's face; tonight, she would finally be able to sleep well.
As the telegrams within Yellowstone City were sent out, Rosa felt a sense of relief wash over her when she received the message. With hopeful expressions all around her, she smiled faintly. "Lianfeng has dispatched the Ninth Division's First and Second Armored Regiments. Our task now is for the Ninth Division to meet them victoriously!"
In an instant, the atmosphere became lively; everyone was beaming with joy. After so long, they had finally heard some good news.
Only in the corner, Shasha believed that the Wolf Fleet would not allow them to unite so easily.
