Director Shen received the order from the superior, immediately set aside the house-building projects in Dawn City, and together with his only current subordinate, Chen Lan, they boarded a helicopter heading to the border.

Tang Yafei's combat helicopter was responsible for the transport, and on the plane, Director Shen received specific instructions from Ye Fan.

He immediately changed out of his clothes into ordinary civilian attire.

The helicopter was swift, and as it approached the border, it dropped him and Chen Lan off. When the main unit took a break, they pretended to be survivors and were directly captured.

Originally, Rakshasa came to abduct people, and seeing them ready-made, naturally took them along.

While Director Shen and his team moved into action, Ye Fan returned to Dawn City.

Just after landing, he received a message from the engineers at the Army Combat Laboratory.

"Sir, our army has developed a new soldier class."

Ye Fan immediately headed to the Army Combat Laboratory, where the engineer Luo Jiaxin was already waiting.

"Sir, in light of your recent attacks, our army has taken targeted measures and developed new soldier classes. Please take a look."

Ye Fan opened the system soldier page, and there were two new soldier classes added.

[Communicator: Carries a high-power radio that can transmit messages within the entire army, cost 500 Gold.]

[Electronic Warfare Soldier: Can work in the Army Combat Laboratory, capable of intercepting the province's internal radio waves, decrypting enemy telegrams, and, in collaboration with spies, eavesdropping on enemy calls, cost 500 Gold.]

Seeing these two soldier classes, Ye Fan's eyes brightened.

"These soldier classes are excellent. In the apocalypse, our enemies are not only zombies but also people, especially some armed separatist warlords whose ambitions to destroy us are unwavering, and indeed pose a significant threat."

"In the past, when I communicated, I needed Nana and Zhuge Yunxue to facilitate, and without communicators, it was indeed inconvenient. I think this soldier class can be spread to Level 1; every platoon must have a communicator for immediate mutual communication."

Luo Jiaxin nodded: "Yes, sir, we have not only improved the communication system but also started electronic research. The communicator and electronic warfare soldier are the results this time; we will launch more research achievements in the future."

"Mm, technological development must keep pace, and I estimate we will be at war soon."

At this moment, Chief of Staff Zhongjing, who followed Ye Fan, immediately said: "Sir, are we going to fight Rakshasa?"

"Yes, not only will we fight, but we must do it quickly. Ideally, within a week, the longer we delay, the more our compatriots will suffer there."

Zhongjing clapped excitedly: "Great, our staff has already deployed for the Rakshasa battle early on. Sir, come and look at the radar."

The two looked at the radar in the laboratory, showing detailed situations on the Rakshasa side on the screen.

"Sir, look, Hai Shan Wei is quite a large city with about 270,000 to 280,000 survivors, and its military arrangement is also excellent. It not only has an air defense system but also radar stations, docks along the river, and observation towers, with numerous patrols every day."

"We suspect some buildings near their city are armament factories, but our observation focus is here."

As he spoke, Zhongjing pointed to a location.

This place was still over twenty kilometers from Hai Shan Wei city, with not many people inside, and if Zhongjing hadn't pointed it out, Ye Fan might have overlooked it.

"Is this... an airport?"

"That's right, it's not just an airport; we also suspect it's a factory because there are several massive factory buildings that are always inaccessible from the outside, with survivors inside, indicating military secrets. We suspect they're secretly building fighter jets."

Ye Fan pondered and nodded slightly.

Rakshasa's military industry has always been good, and restoring fighter jet production is not surprising.

Last time, Duanmu Xiaoyu followed Rikov to the army barracks and stole the War Bear technology, allowing Dawn Army soldiers to emerge with a One-Star rating.

This is the unique feature of the Red Alert System, where a spy can infiltrate other factories, stay some time, and steal technology.

But since then, Duanmu Xiaoyu hasn't had a good opportunity to enter the Tank Factory, as Rikov hasn't taken her again.

This time, seeing this airport, Ye Fan was immediately intrigued.

He asked Luo Jiaxin: "Can our communicators contact Red Alert units abroad?"

"Yes, sir, as long as they are our Red Alert units, they can be contacted anytime as long as they are within radar or spy satellite range."

Ye Fan immediately produced a communicator.

Spending 500 Gold, the communicator quickly came out, saluted Ye Fan.

"Communicator Zhang Meng reporting to the sir!"

Ye Fan returned the salute, then said to Zhang Meng: "From now on, you will be my communicator, responsible for information collection and message transmission. Now send a message to Shen Ruihui, telling him to find a way for a spy to enter Hai Shan Wei Airport within three days to obtain information inside the enemy's airport."

"Yes, understood!"

Since Ye Fan had already given the order, he simply issued a series of commands.

"Notify all units, First and Second Field Corps, Artillery Battalion, Armored Battalion, and Land Air Force Group, to cancel current tasks, maneuver to approach Hai Shan Wei Rakshasa and await combat orders."

"Notify Dragon's Tooth Special Operations Team to immediately go to Hai Shan Wei and prepare to join with the Military Intelligence Bureau, cooperating with their operations."

Hearing Ye Fan's series of commands, everyone knew that they were indeed going to war.

Chief of Staff Zhongjing reminded beside: "Sir, are you going to Hai Shan Wei? But today is already March 7th; in three days, the conference at Ice City will commence. Won't you attend?"

"Did Guo Zhun invite me?"

"Yes, he has been inviting continuously several times, and he even invited today."

Ye Fan snorted: "Go and tell Guo Zhun, I can attend, but the meeting location cannot be inside Ice City. Choose a place in the wild, an uninhabited area is fine, as long as it is away from everyone, I will consider going, otherwise, I will not go."

"Isn't it difficult to get Guo Zhun to agree?"

"He will definitely agree. This time, he wants to unify the entire province, and he has to get past me first. Whether by seeking my opinion or tearing faces to find an excuse, he hopes to meet me. Moreover, I will broadcast this proposal on TV. I believe it's not just me who's uneasy about him; other leaders also dare not casually enter Ice City Base. So he has no choice but to agree."

Zhongjing nodded and immediately gave orders.

Having finished the arrangements, Ye Fan got up and went to the newly expanded core area.

Within his system, he had already selected to build a barracks, which has yet to be placed.

Currently, the Dawn Army numbers fifteen thousand people. If barracks aren't built, the soldiers will have nowhere to stay.

The first barracks was placed, followed immediately by the construction of the second.

A few hours later, the second barracks was ready, and the construction of the third began.

In the next two days or so, Ye Fan added twelve barracks and two tank factories.

Twelve barracks raised Ye Fan's military limit by six thousand six hundred people.

With many barracks constructed, Ye Fan can now produce soldier units almost instantly.

This is the specialty of the Red Alert system; the more barracks or tank factories you have, the faster the production rate.

The addition of two tank factories does not increase the population limit but speeds up the production of tanks.

At critical moments, speed is survival; Ye Fan knows this well.

Besides building barracks and tank factories, Ye Fan also temporarily produced twenty electronic combat soldiers.

These soldiers are currently working in the Army Combat Laboratory, waiting for the completion of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Ye Fan plans to assign them there to be responsible for intelligence gathering.

Each electronic combat soldier is in charge of intelligence work in a city within the Divine Dragon Province.

Seeing Guo Zhun's control over the provincial situation, Ye Fan aims to achieve the same, and even better.

After two busy days, Ye Fan's construction was preliminarily completed.

Spending one and a half million in funds, he can fully afford it now.

Meanwhile, Dawn TV Station has been reporting Ye Fan's demands for several consecutive days, waiting for Guo Zhun's response.

The broadcasts made it clear that if Guo Zhun could not ensure the personal safety of the leaders attending the meeting, Ye Fan would not attend this meeting or recognize any chosen provincial alliance leader.

This time, Li Yuntian from Oil City and Yan Zhihuan from Daqing Mountain both supported Ye Fan and expressed that they would not attend if they disagreed.

Guo Zhun had no choice, and on March 9th, he finally announced that this meeting would be held in an abandoned town a hundred kilometers away from Ice City.

The town has been deserted for a long time, now not only devoid of people but also free of zombies.

The meeting location is set on the town's street, and once everyone is united, he will send people to set up a tent as a meeting venue.

He allows leaders from all sides to bring security personnel, promising that this meeting will be supervised by all leaders. Anyone who threatens someone else's safety during the meeting will become a common enemy and permanently lose the qualification to be the alliance leader.

He even allows everyone's troops to station in the rear, ensuring a safe retreat, showing considerable sincerity.

With Guo Zhun's assurance, Ye Fan is not fully relieved, not only requiring radar station surveillance but also dispatching War Hawks to monitor the town from the sky.

But Guo Zhun indeed laid no such arrangements, which slightly reassured Ye Fan.

What truly reassured Ye Fan was the valuable information brought by the newly established electronic combat soldiers.

Guo Zhun contacted Rakshasa's Rikov through the radio station!

Even the conversation content was intercepted by electronic combat soldiers and transmitted to Ye Fan.

"Mr. Rikov, you've seen my sincerity, right? Next, you must show your sincerity too."

"Leader Guo, don't you want to take advantage of this meeting to deal with Ye Fan? That would be much simpler."

"No, it's very unlikely to succeed and would breach trust, costing too much. This time I'm bringing Ye Fan over to isolate him, making him lose the qualification to compete with me thoroughly, laying the foundation for attacking Dawn City."

"Are you sure the other leaders in your province will support you?"

"Rest assured, I am confident of victory. Leader Rikov, don't forget to deploy your troops at the time."

"Okay, I promise you, but you must stick to the agreement, giving me everything north of the Divine Dragon Province except Dawn City."

"Agreed!"

Hearing this conversation, Ye Fan not only felt relieved but also realized he must meet Guo Zhun.

Because Ye Fan wants to know how Guo Zhun rose to power, what gives him such confidence?

Whether there are other forces within the Empire, he also needs to understand, know himself and the enemy.

He believes that this trip to Ice City will give him a satisfactory answer.

As for becoming the alliance leader, Ye Fan has never thought about it.

Guo Zhun has gone through so much trouble for this; he certainly won't let the position of alliance leader slip away.

Teaming up with Rikov is also one of his trump cards.

However, Ye Fan is not worried. As long as everything goes according to plan, tomorrow night will be the time for the Dawn Army to act.

Once Rikov is lost as external support, Ye Fan would like to see, what else does Guo Zhun have to wipe him out.
