Vol 3 Chapter 788: Tight outside and loose inside

Outside the Baghdad security base, the darkness enveloped the entire earth, 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 disaster, when the Baghdad Security Base was just established, the Iraqi Defense Forces set their sights on Samarra after the failed operation to recover Baghdad.
After more than half a year of fighting, Samarra was finally brought under control and became the stronghold of the Baghdad safe base.
The so-called Baghdad security base is actually in Samarra. After nearly two years of repairs and defensive construction, the entire Samarra has become a safe city with high walls and city-states.
The Baghdad Security Base did not have the ambition to protect all the city of Samarra in one breath, but surrounded a huge defensive circle in the center of Samarra.
A large number of containers are connected between each floor, forming a huge circular high wall.
Containers piled up to form a circle around the center of the city. At the same time, all the containers were poured together with cement, and the defense power was not much worse than any defensive fortress.
At the same time, all the buildings on the defensive walls and the internal structures of the buildings were filled with a large amount of cement, and there were no gaps at all.
For safety's sake, all sewers and unnecessary pipes are all blocked with cement.
The entire city of Samarra has become a defensive fortress. On the walls around the center of Samarra, you can see a number of defensive weapons everywhere.
All the buildings and houses around the entire city center have 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 city center, a large number of industries are concentrated here, and a large number of factories are in operation every day.
The troops of 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 on its own. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, it is not difficult to produce tanks on its own.
Because in this, many supporting production lines for the military industry are almost complete, even if some parts are missing, it's a big deal to use machine tools to make them one by one, just as a complete set.
However, due to the relatively poor materials, despite having the ability to produce heavy equipment on its own, no heavy equipment has ever been produced here.
Almost all of the steel is used for the production of ammunition. It is difficult to expand the size of the army and does not require 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 the large number of survivors living in this safe zone are not doing nothing every day, either entering the factory, or following the troops to collect supplies, and even mine 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 gradually formed. In the safe base, many life patterns that were in peacetime have gradually appeared here.
In the Baghdad security base in the dark, the residential area where the night is gradually lifted, many survivors are wandering in the survivor gathering area.
Although there are all surrounding container walls that you can't see at a glance, and you can't see the outside world, it's always safe here. For more than two years, the survivors living here have hardly seen mutants.
In this safe base of nearly 400,000 survivors and troops, it has become a small kingdom.
Here, there are strict laws, but it is still humane. People here earn points through labor, and then through points can be exchanged for nutrients, and occasionally they can buy some daily necessities.
As for the place to live, hundreds of thousands of people live here. In this huge downtown area, there are not many at all. Almost everyone lives in luxurious suites.
The power supply has never been interrupted. It can almost be said that, apart from the lack of freedom and only the kind of nutrients that are difficult to swallow, life here is not much different from that in peacetime.
I still have to work every day, and I work for three meals a day. According to the points earned from the labor, it is equivalent to the former currency and has good purchasing power.
Since there is no interference from external factors, all the labor force of the entire safety base is also gathered together ~ EbookFREE.me~, so that the economic operation of the entire base has 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 get more goods and food for the points gained through their own work.
As for life, the people in the future base are also a little freer than here. After all, the area of ​​the future base will cover several cities, which is not comparable to only one city center in Samarra.
However, it is extremely rare that the Baghdad security base can operate so stably so far.
In the Baghdad security base at night, three strange-looking figures appeared on the most prosperous street under the dim street lights.
At night, the draw was over, and after meeting Wu Jie, Cai Ruichen came to Samarra without stopping.
The troops that bypassed the security base of Baghdad along the way, under the cover of Qin Chen and Wu Jie, Cai Ruichen sneaked into this security base without attracting anyone's attention.
Originally, Cai Ruichen thought that the security protection here must be very strict, but what he did not expect is that the entire Baghdad security base adopts a defense method that is tight outside and loose inside.
When all the outer interception nets were breached, there was only a large rear that seemed to be less fortified.
However, Cai Ruichen also knows very well that if there is an enemy who can break through here, no matter how much troops are arranged here, it will be unstoppable.
Taking this defense is also to keep all dangers out of the core area, which is similar to the defense structure of the future base.
