Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Eighth Defense of Tight Outside and Loose Inside
Outside the Baghdad security base, night shrouded the entire land, and there was no light in the entire world. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.
The Baghdad security base is actually located in the city of Samarra. At the beginning of the catastrophe, when the Baghdad security base was just established, the Iraqi National Defense Forces set their sights on Samarra after the failure of the operation to regain Baghdad.
After more than half a year of fighting, the entire Samarra was finally brought under control, and it became the base camp of the Baghdad security base.
The so-called Baghdad security base is actually in the city of Samarra. After nearly two years of repairs and defensive construction, the entire Samarra has become a safe city with high walls and a city-state.
The Baghdad security base is not so ambitious as to protect the entire city of Samarra in one go, but has built a huge defensive circle in the center of the city of Samarra.
A large number of containers are connected between each floor, forming a huge circular high wall.
Containers piled up one by one, surrounding the entire city center. At the same time, all the containers were poured together with cement, and the defense was not much worse than any defensive fortress.
At the same time, all the buildings on the defensive wall and the internal structures of the buildings were also filled with a large amount of cement, without any gaps at all.
For the sake of safety, all sewers and unnecessary pipes are also blocked with cement.
The entire city of Samarra has become a defensive fortress, and defensive weapons can be seen everywhere on the walls around the city center of Samarra.
All the buildings and houses on the outskirts of the entire city center have also become the best watchtowers. Many soldiers from the Baghdad security base take turns to sit in every corner of the city every day, almost monitoring the entire city and everything around it around the clock.
In the central area of the city, a large number of industries are concentrated here, and a large number of factories are in operation every day.
The troops at the Baghdad security base also moved almost all the surrounding industries and various raw material warehouses and industries here.
The current Baghdad security base is already a base with a relatively complete industrial system. It can produce weapons and ammunition by itself. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, it is not difficult to produce tanks by itself.
Because here, many supporting production lines for the military industry are almost complete. Even if some parts are missing, the big deal is to use machine tools to make them piece by piece, and they can be matched.
However, due to the relatively poor supplies, although it has the ability to produce heavy equipment by itself, no heavy equipment has ever been produced here.
Almost all the steel is used for the production of ammunition. It is difficult to expand the size of the army, and there is no need for more heavy equipment, but the consumption of ammunition is a big problem.
The only industrial production capacity has always been inclined to the production and inventory of weapons and ammunition, giving priority to ensuring the long-term combat capability of the troops.
And a large number of survivors living in this safe zone are not doing nothing every day, either entering the factory, or going out with the army to collect supplies, and even mining some minerals and crude oil in the desert north of Samarra.
Over the past three years, the development of the Baghdad security base has also entered a stable state.
A simple social structure has also gradually formed. In the safe base, many life patterns that used to exist in peacetime have gradually appeared here.
In the Baghdad security base at night, in the residential area where the curfew is gradually lifted, many survivors are wandering around the survivor gathering area.
Although it is surrounded by endless container walls and cannot see the outside world, it has always been safe here. For more than two years, the survivors living here,
Almost no mutants have been seen.
In this safe base with nearly 400,000 survivors and troops, it seems to have become a small kingdom.
Here, there are strict laws, but there is still a human side. People here earn points through labor, and then the points can be exchanged for nutritional supplements, and occasionally they can also buy some daily necessities.
As for where to live, there are hundreds of thousands of people here. In this huge downtown area, there are not many at all. Almost everyone lives in luxurious suites.
The power supply has never been cut off. It can be said that, except that there is no freedom, and you can only eat that kind of hard-to-swallow nutrient, life here is not much different from that in peacetime.
I still have to work every day, and work for three meals a day. According to the points earned from labor, it is equivalent to the currency of the past, with good purchasing power.
Since there is no interference from external factors, all the labor force in the entire security base is also gathered together, making the economic operation of the entire base have always been at a very stable level.
The operation of the Baghdad security base is actually exactly the same as Cai Ruichen's future base.
The only difference is that the survivors in the future base can exchange for more commodities and food with the points they get through their labor.
As for life, the people in the future base are also a little more free than here. After all, the area of the future base covers several cities, which is not comparable to only one city center in Samarra.
However, it is extremely rare for the Baghdad security base to be able to operate so stably.
In the Baghdad security base at night, under the dim street lights, three strange-looking figures appeared on the busiest street.
At nightfall, after the lottery was over, and after getting to know Wu Jie, Cai Ruichen came to Samarra non-stop.
Along the way, they bypassed layers of Baghdad security base troops. Under the cover of Qin Chen and Wu Jie, Cai Ruichen sneaked into the security base without attracting anyone's attention.
Originally, Cai Ruichen thought that the security protection here must be very strict, but to his surprise, the entire Baghdad security base adopts a defense method that is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
When all the interception nets on the outside were broken through, there was only a big rear that didn't seem to have much defense.
However, Cai Ruichen is also very clear that if there is an enemy who can break through here, no matter how many troops are arranged here, it will still be unstoppable.
Adopting such a defense is also to keep all dangers out of the core area, which is similar to the defense structure of the future base.
