The military camp had just been newly built. The ground was first flattened and compacted, then a layer of gravel half a foot deep was laid, and finally cement mortar was poured. In addition, most of the houses were made of wood, and only some of the buildings were made of brick.
In the hall that still smelled of paint and was simply furnished, a row of officers with the rank of captain and major stood straight. Zhou Changfeng, who walked in steadily, was quite satisfied with this. At least these guys still took him seriously. Yes, otherwise I would have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey today.
"I have read your resumes, they are all very good, but you have to follow my rules when you work under me. I am not a willful person, but I don't think you can do anything wrong." He said, and then left Arrive at the front of the team.
"Sir Zhou, I have heard a little bit about your deeds." A gentle young man spoke without hesitation, "I'm afraid you are all interested, right? But it is not convenient to make this matter public at the moment. Please take care of it after hearing it." Mouth, if it is revealed, you will be punished."
This young man, who is not yet thirty years old, is named Yao Liangchuan. He wears half-rimmed square glasses and exudes a bookish air from the inside out. He holds the rank of civil servant and major, and his specific position is one that has been notorious since ancient times. A great but indispensable supervisor.
Nowadays, there are no internal servants, and there are no civilian officials leading the troops, so the duty of supervising the army is left to civilian officials. Their role is equivalent to that of a committee to a certain extent, but they are also responsible for taking charge of the civilian work of the army, and supervising military administration and military law. .
After he slowly and briefly described the killing of thieves in Batavia, the officers present looked at Zhou Changfeng with surprise and excitement.
As the person involved, Zhou Changfeng put his fist under his nose and coughed twice, "Keep a low profile. You can't publicize this kind of thing loudly, and if you tell it, you will lose the intelligence office."
The Intelligence Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office really felt that it was embarrassing, so after learning from the experience, it is now drafting a plan to form a professional special operations unit.
"Good fellow, Commander Zhou, you must have ten brushes. I admire you, I admire you." The carefree Chen Min said with his fists in hand.
Compared with Chen Min, who was born in Tianjin and is strong, Fan Qijin, who is taciturn, looks particularly thin. Although he has an extraordinary background, he behaves extremely modestly.
What’s interesting is that Li Bin, the captain of the chariot team, originally studied chemical engineering in a technical high school. After joining the army, he served in a chemical defense unit, but then he applied for armor training and switched to driving a tank.
Zhou Changfeng glanced at them, smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, it is very sudden for me to join the Marine Corps, but it can't be called rushing to the shelves. I am not modest about landing operations. You can trust me unconditionally. However, if there is anything that needs to be studied together, please also actively participate. If we are a threesome, I will definitely be my master. Other than that, I have no other requirements for the time being. I will be very satisfied if you can obey orders to the letter."
Xie Wancheng on the side seemed to be singing along with him, and said loudly: "You must have heard of our Commander Zhou's ability to some extent, right? He has been among the best since he started in martial arts, and he is not a showman. In Demaji, he defeated six times the enemy. I'm so exhausted. Look, this is a serious talent, you are born to be a general."
"I totally agree." Zhao Hanfeng nodded and said sternly: "A man's arrogance in joining the army can soar to the sky. Now the situation in the world is turbulent. If things get bad, there will be a big fight in a few years. Wherever you go, Commander Zhou, we will follow." !”
The atmosphere in the hall was very good, and everyone present was quite excited.
However, at this moment, a tall and ordinary-looking captain suddenly asked: "Sir, I have a question: Should we fully abide by the laws of war during wartime?"
Um?
Zhou Changfeng knew the origin of this captain very well - Han Yi, a native of Liangzhou, first served in the Northwest Frontier Army. During a border conflict seven years ago, a platoon he commanded captured some enemy soldiers, and all of them were ordered to him. Burned alive. Although he was only given a small symbolic punishment afterwards, it also greatly affected his promotion speed, so he simply transferred to the engineering unit, hoping to live a stable life. This time, he encountered a turning point.
"Is there any reason for your previous 'masterpiece'? I don't think you are a murderous person." A curious Zhou Changfeng stared at him and asked.
Han Yi didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "The Rakshasa barbarians ambushed a patrol team of our friendly forces at night. After discovering the signal for help, I led my troops to reinforce. When I arrived, the team had been wiped out. I saw the enemy troops covering more than a dozen people. They piled the remains together and urinated on them, and then we surrounded them from both sides and wiped them all out."
Then, he said matter-of-factly in a very relaxed tone: "So there is nothing more to say. Do we still need to follow morality when fighting barbarians who are like animals?"
Well, this guy is really cruel.
Li Bin heard this and said slowly: "This doesn't work. You must know that the long-term solution is to make the best use of everything. The ashes can not only be used as medicine, but also contain phosphorus and calcium, and are also excellent as fertilizer."
Grass?
I have a bunch of people under my command.
The ashamed Zhou Changfeng shook his head slightly, knocked on the wooden table with his hand, and said seriously: "This is a very important issue. If done well, it can boost one's own morale and damage the morale of the other side. On the contrary, if done poorly, it may have the opposite effect. Repay kindness with kindness and repay evil with kindness."
After finishing speaking, he said seriously: "But I want to emphasize that it is absolutely impossible to deal with it privately. It must be handed over to the regiment headquarters for centralized handling. Do you understand? I especially hate people who talk to themselves, unless the matter is urgent and must be decided on the spot. situation."
"Grade and rank, please obey the warning!" More than a dozen officers present responded in unison.
"Okay." Zhou Changfeng was very satisfied with their appearance, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's half past the Youshi hour, let's eat."
Plump braised sea bass, sweet Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, fragrant Dongpo meat, etc., as well as more than a dozen bottles of beer and wine, are not luxurious, but they are definitely rich.
Not to mention wine, which has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, the introduction of beer in the Later Ming Dynasty was not too late. Emperor Wenzong exchanged letters with King Louis XVI of France several times, and the emperor also sent envoys to visit Europe. . When they returned, they brought many novelties with them, including the brewing process of beer. Therefore, beer has a history of more than a hundred years in the later Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the officers chatting, laughing and mingling together, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: Eat, eat, you will feel better in the future.
Since the 1st Marine Regiment is a relatively independent unit, this gives Zhou Changfeng a certain degree of freedom, allowing him to make small "rule changes."
But this is only relative. If it goes too far, then wait to be dismissed and investigated.
Maximizing cohesion and centripetal force in a limited operating space is a tricky thing to be honest, but Zhou Changfeng is still determined to give it a try.
