Chapter 775: 20 troops!
Upon hearing this, after listening to Gu Chengyuan's plan, Chief of Staff Wu Bin and Deputy Commander of the Provincial Military Region Shao Gang both looked thoughtful.
"Commander, your method is indeed good!"
Chief of Staff Wu Bin couldn't help but praise the highlights of Gu Chengyuan's proposal:
"In this way, we can not only solve the follow-up problem of dealing with the evil elements in Yucheng, but also enhance the overall strength of the Corps. Most importantly, through the personal testimony of these soldiers from the Guard Brigade, we can also effectively resolve the internal conflicts currently faced by the Corps. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone!"
However, when it came to this, Chief of Staff Wu Bin suddenly changed the subject:
"But...but looking beyond the phenomenon to the essence, you should also know that the incidents of the 1st and 2nd Guard Brigades were only the fuse for the outbreak of internal conflicts in the corps. The real reason is probably that the soldiers are worried about their families and want to go home..."
"If this fundamental problem is not resolved, the effect of your arrangement will probably not be very good..."
After he finished speaking, Gu Chengyuan did not deny it.
This is the importance of having a stable rear area! In addition to providing a stable resource production output, it is more important to provide a safe life for the soldiers' families.
If a unit wants to be combat-ready, the most basic thing is to first ensure the interests of the soldiers!
Otherwise, what should soldiers fight for?
The essence of fighting for the country is not entirely about justice, but that everyone’s family is also included in the concept of “country”!
"Protecting the country means protecting the family. If the country is destroyed, the family will be destroyed."
It is precisely because of this concept of "unity of family and country" that so many heroes have emerged in the Zhou Dynasty throughout history.
But now, the concept of the unity of family and country has been divided by the indiscriminate infectious nature of the end times!
When the soldiers discovered that standing on the battlefield could not protect their families at all, and that they could only protect their families by returning to their families, it meant the collapse of Zhou State's system of military service in other places in the end times!
The system of serving in the military in a different place is always useful and can effectively prevent the army from becoming a local bully, becoming intertwined with local forces to form interest groups and infringing on national interests.
But in the end times, with indiscriminate, full-scale disasters, the disadvantage is also quite obvious: that is, those who hold guns cannot protect the people they really want to protect...
Therefore, the problem of serious decline in soldiers' combat effectiveness and demoralization after the end of the world does not only occur in the 77th Legion, but occurs equally in all existing troops of Zhou State!
It's just that some of them exploded, some didn't, some Gu Chengyuan knew about, and some Gu Chengyuan didn't know about...
...
You know, many people still worry about who will raise their children even when they are remarried, let alone in a life-and-death situation like this...
When you use your life to protect others, you cannot be sure whether your wife and children are also protected in the same way. You also have to worry about whether the other person is hungry, cold, injured, disabled, tortured, or killed by others...
Just thinking about this is enough to break the defense of most ordinary soldiers...
...
Therefore, the biggest cheat of the Ye Province Military District, in addition to advanced weapons, is that the system soldiers summoned have no family members...
Alone and without any worries!
The most important family member to them in this world is Gu Chengyuan. As long as Gu Chengyuan is well and safe, their emotions and morale will be stable!
Therefore, Gu Chengyuan’s most important task is to stay safely under the protection of the army and not cause any trouble, otherwise the Ye Province Military District will really go crazy!
In addition to the system army, there are also survivor troops of the Ye Province Military Region such as the Ye Province Internal Guard Force and the Yezhou Infantry Brigade.
The reason is that they all come from various gathering places under the jurisdiction of the Ye Province Military Region, and their families are under the protection of the Ye Province Military Region. Therefore, although these troops cannot be as carefree as the system army and serve only their leaders!
But when their lives and property are naturally tied to the Ye Province Military Region, it means that they and the Ye Province Military Region have common interests and share the same destiny!
The harder they work, the better the Night Province Military Region will develop, and the better the Night Province Military Region develops, the better they and their families will live!
So in this situation, considering the military morale alone, there is no need to dispatch the absolutely loyal system army. Just relying on the survivors of the Night Province Military District, the other regular troops of Zhou Bang can be reduced to ashes in seconds!
Just because Gu Chengyuan has something real!
Whose family didn’t receive a New Year gift package from Chief Gu? Whose family didn’t get free medical treatment at Chief Gu’s hospital when they were sick? Whose children didn’t go to Chief Gu’s school for free?
In this situation, other than being more loyal, is there any other way for these survivors to report?
So this is also the reason why Chief of Staff Wu Bin and Deputy Commander Shao Gang were in helplessness.
Because even the Ye Province Military Region, with a force of 20, cannot protect the families of the soldiers of the 77th Legion from all corners of the world...
When this step can be achieved, it is estimated that the end of Zhou Bang will also be over...
.....
"Of course I know what the Chief of Staff said, so we can completely change our thinking!" Gu Chengyuan smiled slightly, obviously confident.
Change your thinking?
"Yes, that is, change the way of thinking. Since the old 77th Legion is no longer able to maintain itself, why don't we build a new one?"
The new 77th Corps? Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Wu Bin and Deputy Commander Shao Gang both showed a hint of enlightenment.
"Commander, what you mean is..."
"What I mean is that since the morale of the 77th Legion has been completely broken, it would be more cost-effective to just tear it down and rebuild it instead of patching up the leaks!"
"Don't those soldiers want to go home to protect their families? Then why not just agree to it and let everyone who wants to leave go!"
"This way, we can let each other go and part ways amicably, so that former comrades-in-arms won't turn against each other and cause a tragedy!"
"How many people are there in the entire 77th Army? If I remember correctly, there should be four brigades and three regiments, right? Adding up, there are only a little over people! This does not include combat losses!"
"We are no longer in the early days. The total strength of the entire military region has now exceeded 20!"
"With nearly 400 million survivors under his rule, are you still worried that you won't be able to fill the gap in the 77th Legion's manpower?"
Speaking of this, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but look very proud!
Yes, after more than a year of development, under his and the system's development, the entire Ye Province Military Region has quietly grown from an elite infantry squad at the beginning to a terrifying behemoth!
What does 20 troops mean? Before the end of the world, some counties didn’t have that many permanent residents, not to mention that they were all armed soldiers!
In ancient times, a man who controlled 20 soldiers could call himself the most powerful person in the world. He had soldiers under his command, and he controlled tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, and cannons!
If they don't even have the courage to destroy a legion and rebuild it, then they are going backwards!
Counting it this way, the civil strife within the 77th Army Corps was not a bad thing for Gu Chengyuan, but a good thing!
It was destroyed and rebuilt. Is there any need to say what the (new) 77th Corps is called?
Using the logistics of the Night Province Military Region, using the manpower of the Night Province Military Region, using the officers of the Night Province Military Region, is this not the shape of the Night Province Military Region? ?
After this, I guess the next time they meet, Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo will probably just call Gu Chengyuan "Chief Gu" without the initial "Gu" and just call him "Chief".
Night Province Military District System Map
I saw a lot of people were confused by the system of the Night Province Military Region, so I specially sorted out a simple system diagram. If you are interested, you can take a look, or save it and look through it when you are confused.
