Chapter 205: Using the opponent's force to counter attack, you really have a way
Two days later, a telegram came from the Glorious City Council.
"The telegram said that the former Maple City Marine Battalion was renamed the Maple City Guards, and its organization was upgraded to a full army level, and you were appointed as the commander—"
Before Fang Xiaoge finished reading, Gao Yating said indignantly: "Why is it not the army commander, but the commander? Who knows what level of position the commander is? Is that parliament playing word games?"
Yu Luen smiled and said, "I think this is better. Our general is not a military man. If he is parachuted into such a high military position, he will easily become a target of public criticism."
"Now, it is equivalent to canceling the Marine Battalion's designation. When we reorganize it, we can disperse the remaining personnel of the Marine Battalion into the new Guard. Then, not only can we absorb these living forces, but the influence of the original leaders will be minimal."
Fang Xiaoge looked at Ai Wanxin and saw her nod, then continued: "The Guards' primary mission is to recapture Fengcheng. They are not allowed to leave the border of Fengcheng without an order."
Ai Wanxin laughed when she heard this: "Why? Are they worried that I will take these ordinary people across a continent full of zombies and mutated animals and plants to attack Glory City?"
"We don't need them to attack Glory City," she said nonchalantly.
Yu Luen's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "When will the fight take place?"
"I finally figured it out. You really want to watch the fun and make trouble. Where's the list? Are you ready?"
Yu Luen placed the tablet that he had been holding under his armpit in front of Ai Wanxin and turned on the screen.
"This is the original Marine Corps organization, the list of generals at all levels and their survival status."
"The Marine Battalion originally belonged to the city guard sequence. It is a light equipment division with a full strength of 9000 people. It has nine battalions under its jurisdiction, including two cavalry battalions, two infantry battalions, an attack helicopter battalion, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, a military intelligence and communications battalion, a supply and transportation battalion, and a medical battalion."
"After heavy rain, floods and the zombie outbreak, almost 4/5 of the personnel were lost."
"Of the nine battalion commanders, only two survived: the Infantry Battalion Commander Zhou Zhiwu and the Military Intelligence and Communications Battalion Commander Li Qian."
"Later, Lu Youding also wanted to recruit more soldiers, but he had limited supplies, so he had to decide to prioritize recruiting sentinels."
"The Marine Battalion has now been renamed the Maple City Guards and upgraded. If we follow the normal process, we can form three divisions with a full complement of 3 to 3 people. However, not to mention the rations and supplies, even the entire Ziyang City base has only a few hundred thousand people. And to be honest, with the existence of the sentinels, it's not very useful to have so many people."
"That's not necessarily true. More firewood means higher flames, and more people means stronger momentum." Gao Yating said with her head held high.
"There's no rush for this matter." Ai Wan thought, "Xiao Fangge, come up with a plan for this matter. I only have one request, and that is to include a female barracks."
Fang Xiaoge hesitated for a rare moment: "General Ai... I was just a private. I'm afraid I can't handle such an important matter. How about I be your guard?"
Ai Wanxin's face darkened slightly: "Did I train you just to be my guard?"
Fang Xiaoge's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help swallowing. He straightened his shoulders and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Okay, Xiao Fangge, I've told you so many times not to carry so many burdens in your mind. Do you think I can scold you if you can't do it well?" Ai Wanxin slowed down his tone and comforted him.
"I...I'm afraid of disappointing you." Fang Xiaoge couldn't help but explain.
"If you hesitate and hesitate, you will disappoint me. All right, go call Zhou Zhiwu and Li Qian, and ask Huang Xiaochi to invite the fat police officer."
Fang Xiaoge stood at attention, saluted, turned around and walked out.
Yu Luen's fox-like eyes curved slightly: "If I remember correctly, when you first came to the base, Captain Zhou came to cause trouble. Do you still want to use him?"
"You won't forget that the reason he came to your house was because of you, right? Should I tell him later?"
Yu Luen smiled bitterly and said, "You are really good at using the opponent's force to counter attack."
"The first step for parachuting in a leader is to build up your own power. If you have trustworthy and capable people, that's the best. Besides, you can also choose ambitious and frustrated people." Ai Wanxin said slowly, "When Lu Youding was alive, Zhou Zhiwu had reservations about him. What's more, he is dead now, so there is nothing he can't use."
Fang Xiaoge didn't walk very far. Zhou Zhiwu and Li Qian, who had received the news that their new superior had airdropped, had already been waiting at the east gate of the territory.
There was a thick layer of snow on the shoulders and brims of the hats of the two men, but no one was in the mood to clean it up, especially Zhou Zhiwu, whose heart was like boiling in a frying pan.
Fang Xiaoge brought the two of them downstairs to the small building. Yu Luen went out and let Li Qian go upstairs first.
Zhou Zhiwu's face became even uglier.
Yu Luen smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, I haven't seen you for a while. How come you have lost weight?"
Zhou Zhiwu thought for a moment, pulled Yu Luen aside, and asked in a low voice: "Guide Yu, please tell me the truth. Can I go back alive today?"
Yu Luen pushed his glasses and said, "Captain Zhou, what do you think our general is? Our general is a hero who saved the people from danger. She is eliminating pests for the country, and those she kills are all criminals who have committed crimes and are unforgivable. Are you like that?"
Zhou Zhiwu said hurriedly, "How could that be possible? Don't you know me? I am the most law-abiding person. It was because of my duties that I had some misunderstandings with the general. I thought that since you are so highly regarded by the general, you must know why the general called me here today. I am not good at speaking, so I want to prepare a speech in advance to avoid saying the wrong thing in front of the general and making him unhappy."
Yu Luen smiled and said, "Since we are colleagues and will work together in the future, I will give you a piece of advice. Our general values talents and rewards and punishes them clearly. As long as you work for the general wholeheartedly, not only will your life be safe, but your future will also be promising."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiwu's eyes lit up: "Are you telling the truth?"
"The wealth and prosperity is right before your eyes. It just depends on whether you can catch it."
Seeing Li Qian and Zhou Zhiwu finish their conversations and leave excitedly, Yu Luen said with emotion: "The credit of following the dragon was really picked up by them."
The last to arrive were Huang Xiaochi and Shi Bin. After not seeing them for a long time, Shi Bin had lost a lot of weight.
He talked longer than Li Qian and Zhou Zhiwu combined.
When going downstairs, Huang Xiaochi showed a happy expression. He put his arm around Shi Bin's shoulders and said cheerfully: "Old Shi, you finally came to your senses."
After making simple arrangements for the territory, Ai Wanxin found five sets of polar outdoor equipment from the space and distributed them to Yin Yanhan and the other three.
The group boarded their spirit bodies and flew straight north toward the Winter Ridge.
