After scanning slightly with the spread of perception, Qiu Yu found a soldier from the 722 Squad.
"Where did that captain come from?"
The soldier put down the zombie body in his hand and looked at it for a long time, "I don't know him."
However, the soldiers here are very subjective and proactive. For example, the one who answered "I don't know" saw that he could not provide Qiu Yu with information, so he immediately started collecting information.
Whenever other soldiers passed by, they would stop and ask a few words. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, all the soldiers would say a few words, and after a few people came down, Qiu Yu had a rough understanding of the current situation.
After learning that this place was invaded by zombies, the shelter immediately summoned all three squadrons that could be summoned.
Apart from the guards of important officials, it can be said that these three squadrons are already the last troops that the shelter has seized from the teeth of the front line. Since it is fastened through the gap between the teeth, it is certainly not a complete fabrication. There are people from the 1st Brigade to the 9th Brigade here, and it is completely improvised.
But on the other hand, this is exactly what the government wants to see. Although the military here is under the control of the government, the government does not directly mobilize power. All the government can do is give orders to the top brass of the military. It wouldn't matter if things were normal, but in this situation, you may not be able to care about them. And because there are no false titles in the military establishment, if you are a squadron leader, you must have a squadron under you, and if you are a group captain, you must have a brigade. This system makes it impossible for the government to parachute trusted personnel into the army.
But with these three squadrons put together, three squadron leader positions were rationally vacated. Logically speaking, they should be selected from the team. But at this time, there is still no armed force that can be directly controlled, which makes the government personnel in the shelter quite uneasy. As far as the military is concerned, these three squadrons are just housekeepers anyway. They don't have to fight. It doesn't matter if they are led by idiots. So in order to reassure the government, they simply gave up the empty titles of three squadron leaders. And the government used the excuse of facilitating unified management to appoint a brigade captain.
The new captain should have stayed in the shelter to eat and drink well, but now zombies happened to break through the defense line, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get here. However, he had no intention of staying here with his three squadrons. On the subway, he had already started discussing with the three squadron captains who were also not very competent as to who would be responsible for the defense task.
The latest news is that the final decision among the four of them is to draw lots. Ten minutes ago, the results of the draw came out. He probably ran out of luck while competing with several other government colleagues for the position of captain. So the captain unfortunately won the red lottery. The three squadron leaders who escaped the disaster never got off the subway train, waiting for a while before taking the train back.
Qiu Yu thought for a moment, looked at the soldiers in front of him and asked, "What do you think about replacing the captain with someone else?"
"As long as it's more useful than him."
"So what if the new captain isn't so legal?"
"Unless he is someone outside the army, I really can't think of anyone who could be more illegal than the current captain."
Qiu Yu thought about it seriously, and now this opportunity to seize power was just a piece of meat that was put in his mouth. All squadron leaders have left. As soon as this group leader steps down, the only ones who can legally take over are the remaining thirty-three squad leaders. And isn’t he just one of these thirty-three people?
But thinking of this, Qiu Yu felt that his luck in this game had not been very good. There was no reason why things were so simple, right?
Sure enough, while they were still thinking about whether there was any accident that might affect their plan, the soldiers suddenly let out a loud cheer. After excluding the excessive noise and nonsense, the content of the cheers was nothing more than one sentence, "The 21st Armored Squadron is back."
Since it is an armored squadron, even if it cannot defeat the zombies, it will naturally not be eaten to death by the zombies if it hides in the car. Qiu Yu neither hoped nor thought that the squadron leader of the armored squadron would just die... It was useless to think so much, just go for it.
It turns out that sometimes, doing may be easier than thinking.
Because of his status as squad leader, Qiu Yu had an unobstructed journey and successfully met the captain, who had vomited several times on the way and was now eating again.
"Give me your clothes...no, your epaulets."
Qiu Yu's plan is very simple, go straight in and beat this guy until he takes the initiative to hand over power. Anyway, the soldier's attitude has been made clear. If he uses his methods a little more, he can only win if he chooses one of the two.
"Okay, you can do it yourself. I'll finish this quickly so I can catch the bus."
"..."
Qiu Yu thought of many possibilities.
His second uncle didn't want him to take risks here, so he told him that he would find a fool to replace him. Or, the army was worried about continuing to hand over the command to him, so it informed him that someone would take back the command. Or maybe he has been waiting for an opportunity to throw a hot potato.
But these are only possibilities that lead to this scene happening, and there is still a long way to go before it becomes a reality. The only material to bridge this distance is luck. This happens to be what Qiu Yu lacks most right now.
"Forget it, I won't eat anymore." The captain pulled off the epaulettes by himself, "I'll leave this to you."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked toward the door.
"Stop." Qiu Yu raised the corner of his mouth.
The other party didn't stop, but instead sped up.
——Tum.
A military dagger that still had a strong smell of blood was inserted in front of his toes as he was about to step out of the door.
The government-appointed captain was named Harpham. Among the senior government officials in the shelter, he is a powerful person who can be ranked in the top ten. The vast majority of politicians have mastered the necessary skills, especially observing words and emotions and assessing the situation.
When he saw someone coming in, at first he just thought he was here to report on work. When he heard Qiu Yu ask him to hand over the captain's epaulettes, he was shocked, knowing that he might have encountered the military seizing power.
This place is equivalent to a battlefield, and many people died just now. The best way for the military to regain power without offending itself and the government forces behind it is to kill itself and then blame the zombies.
Harpham never takes any chances, and always considers the worst possible situation, no matter how small it is. When I thought about the possibility of being killed, my heart was filled with turmoil, but my expression did not change at all. Immediately do what the other person says.
The advantage of this is that it can make the other party think that you already know everything in advance. Regardless of whether the other party thinks that the military and political parties have passed, or that he is on the side of the military, as long as he hesitates a little and allows himself to walk out of this room alive, he no longer has to worry about him daring to kill him in front of the people.
It's a pity that the chess piece is just one move away, and there is only a small distance left, but it can no longer be crossed. Harpham quickly ran through it in his mind, and he really couldn't think of where he had let slip. But now is not the time to think about that.
Plop——
Since the other party dares to come, he is not afraid of his own background. If you dare to talk about your identity now, the effect will only be to speed up your reincarnation. So, Harpham's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, "Brother, I have an old man above me and a young man at the bottom. I still have several boxes of money at home. As long as you let me go..."
Qiu Yu continued, "I'll kill you later."
"Yes, come and kill him later... No, no, no, as long as you let me go, I will agree to any request."
Harpham almost peed his pants in fear. The other party can actually guess what he is thinking. It's not that he often does this kind of thing, he knows the victim's psychological activities clearly, or he has a clear investigation of his own way of doing things. But no matter which one it is, it is really fatal.
"Since you begged me so sincerely..." Qiu Yu held Harpham's neck with one hand and moved it less than ten centimeters away from his grinning face, "I want the captain By the way, please do me a small favor."
Just like the usage of Sima Tianzhi, a smart and cunning person like Harpham is a disaster to others, but to Qiu Yu, he is his favorite.
Because there were so many things to worry about, Harpham looked at every soldier as if he wanted his own life. During a handover ceremony in front of more than thirty squad leaders, instead of shouting for help, he started all over again. He looked cheerful to the end, almost like a loving father handing over many years of inheritance to his eldest son who had placed high hopes on him.
The captains of 722 and 722 had seen Qiu Yu's abilities and thought he was transferred from the legion. The ability to accept the situation in front of me is faster than imagined. Before the other team leaders showed any strange emotions, they clapped loudly and applauded.
Military ranks here are earned based on strength. Qiu Yu himself is the team leader, and with the full support of the two team captains, it is difficult for the other team captains who are drawn from various teams and are almost unfamiliar with people outside their own team. The three small teams holding together are already the most powerful force here.
With the legal acceptance of the handover and the real strength, the team captains had no room for objection, so they took a step slowly to show their support.
As for the captain of the 21st Armored Squadron, who was the only one who might raise some questions, his losses were actually not light. Many vehicles were overturned by zombies. At the moment, he was reorganizing his troops and repairing his tanks under Harpham's orders. He will be notified directly of the captain's replacement later.
Therefore, the military's rank rules that should be as solid as a rock, after the government made an opening, and with Harpham's full cooperation, led to the birth of Qiu Yu, the fastest captain in history. It took a total of nine hours and fifty-five minutes from obtaining the rank of squad leader at 4:20 a.m. to becoming a group leader at 2:15 p.m. on the same day.
More importantly, with a formal appointment and the support of soldiers, this status is completely legal. Even if the military has something to say in the future, this is completely consistent with the replacement of duties during wartime. All that is needed is a replacement letter of appointment. But this brigade was created by the government. If we insist on doing things according to the rules, then the appointment power actually lies in the hands of the government, and the person with the highest military rank in the government is the brigade captain. Therefore, the appointment was already made when Harpham and Akiyu handed over. Finish. As long as Harpham doesn't jump out and say that he is being held hostage, or if the military and the government completely fall out, then Qiu Yu's status as captain will be confirmed.
As for these two situations, Qiu Yu has no need to worry at all. To him, it was just a small trouble that could be solved with just words.
