Zhang Xiaoqiang did not agree with Zhao Jun's suggestion. He lit another cigarette, looked at the smoke, and suddenly said:
"I have decided to form the Internal Affairs Department..."
Zhang Xiao Qiang's decision made the two of them stare at him. They knew that no matter what the Internal Affairs Department did, just from the name alone, it was definitely not a good thing. According to common terms, it was probably something similar to the Imperial Secret Service.
"Isn't there an intelligence expert in Alxa?
In the past, his job was to get the inside information of the opposition forces. Now, it seems that his ability is indeed idle. After the incident with Xiang Fei, I think our biggest problem in the future may be internal problems. So, we need to maintain internal cleanliness to prevent another rebellion... "
This was a problem that Zhang Xiaoqiang had thought about when he was besieged on the mountain. As an evolver with a special ability, Zhou Xiong had always been someone that Zhang Xiaoqiang was wary of. If there was anything wrong with Zhou Xiong, other than evolvers who were not affected by it, ordinary people would regard him as God.
If Zhou Xiong was an ambitious person, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not hesitate to kill him. Zhou Xiong himself probably did not know that it was because of his cowardice and laziness that Zhang Xiaoqiang let him go. He could live a leisurely life under Zhang Xiaoqiang's support.
Although people could change, as long as Zhang Xiao Qiang firmly controlled this fellow, he would use both the carrot and the stick. He was not afraid that this fellow would turn over the palm of his hand. Thinking back to the time when this fellow used his ability to cheat food, it was enough to show that his scheming was not deep.
"I think it's possible. When fighting in the front, the most terrible thing is that there will be problems in the rear. Throughout the ages, many famous generals have fallen because of this. A stable and efficient rear base is the cornerstone of victory."
Shi Yuanya was the first to agree, and Zhao Jun naturally had nothing to say. As for the monitoring of the rear, before confirming Zhang Xiaoqiang's position, he had already thought about it. Xiang Fei's incident was not enough.
"In addition, I've decided to disband all logistical personnel and establish an armed supply department. All logistical personnel will be recruited according to the requirements of supply soldiers. They will only be recruited from the survivors of search and rescue. In addition to logistical work, they will also have to participate in training. The war is urgent, so they will be given priority to replenish the frontline battlefield …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang put the third topic on the survivors. Half of the people who rebelled this time were the recently rescued survivors. For them, Zhang Xiaoqiang had nothing to say. The people who followed Xiang Fei to cause trouble was because Xiang Fei gave them benefits and promises. But for these survivors, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't mistreat them. Regardless of the huge loss and the lack of transportation capacity, he tried his best to ensure their food and drink. It was this group of survivors who shouted about Zhang Xiaoqiang's kindness that stabbed Zhang Xiaoqiang in the back.
"This … I don't have an opinion, but I personally suggest that we divide them based on age and gender. Also, we need to pick out the professional technicians in the middle …"
Shi Yuanya was the first to agree, and Zhao Jun didn't have any opinions either. Although it was a meeting in name, the real situation was still under Zhang Xiaoqiang's control. They made suggestions on the side, and it was up to Zhang Xiaoqiang whether to adopt them or not.
"I think we can transfer some of the soldiers of the Second Regiment to become officers of the armed supply department. They can train these survivors. The soldiers of the Second Regiment have suffered a lot. When they know the truth, they should not let go of any signs of rebellion."
Zhao Jun suddenly came up with an idea. Without personally experiencing the despair of being surrounded by countless zombies, one wouldn't know the pain, especially when this pain and the casualties of their comrades were caused by humans. They would only hate the people who caused their situation even more. The biggest problem of the newly rescued survivors was the system they had formed before.
A system was like a small hill. As long as there was a slight problem, these small hills would form an alliance with each other. Therefore, in order to completely suppress these people, there must be a loyal officer watching over them. The soldiers of the Second Regiment were the most suitable to eliminate this kind of hidden danger.
"Yes, we can transfer a company of soldiers from the Second Regiment to become officers of the armed supply department. Each of them will be promoted by two ranks according to their current rank. In addition, the rest of the reinforcements will be given priority to the Second Regiment. Don't let Li Grassland get angry …"
The Second Garrison Regiment had lost more than three hundred people in the previous battle. If they were to transfer an entire company, the Second Regiment would definitely suffer a great loss. Although the remaining soldiers were still veterans who had gone through hell, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to disappoint Li Grassland too much. After all, Li Grassland was Zhang Xiaoqiang's true subordinate.
"Then the remaining reinforcements might not be enough. The soldiers in the rear are also starting to dry up. Although we achieved a great victory this time, excluding the suicide squad and logistics personnel, the total number of casualties is at least ten percent. We need to think of a way to replenish …"
The ten percent that Ishihara said was definitely not an exaggeration. At the beginning of the battle, there were more than two hundred and eighty casualties. Later on, when fighting against the sea of ten thousand zombies, there were more than one hundred and fifty casualties. Including the battle against the rebellion, there were about eighty to ninety casualties. In the following battles, whether it was the main force or the secondary force, there were casualties. The Second Garrison Regiment had the heaviest casualties. More than three hundred people had died. The next was the Third Garrison Regiment, which had lost almost two companies.
Even the battalion commander had been killed. Added together, the losses were more than ten percent. To be exact, the losses were around fifteen percent. Although there were two thousand reinforcements, Zhao Jun had divided another seven hundred people to strengthen the camp. This was the reason for the shortage of soldiers.
"Aren't there still a thousand people undergoing training in the new county?
Why are there still a shortage of soldiers? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang frowned. In the hot spring base and cockroach base, his troops had reached twenty thousand, but the population was less than a third of the current number. Why was there a shortage of soldiers here?
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, those thousand people are for the Blood Wolf Brigade. Didn't you say that the Independent Regiment would be incorporated into the Blood Wolf Brigade?
Originally, we wanted Lu Qishan to be the Deputy Brigade Commander. This time, the Independent Regiment had one hundred and eighty casualties, and the number of enemies killed was the lowest. I think it would be better for Lakshon to be the Deputy Brigade Commander. In order to restrain Lakshon, we … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang already understood that Lu Qishan's ability was limited. Even if he was given authority, he might not be able to fight well. The Blood Wolf Brigade's battles were fought by Lakshon. In both battles, he had achieved great results. It would be unreasonable not to reward him. Although Jinxing was not very good, at least he had the merit of suppressing the rebellion. He also contributed to the production of the ammunition factory. Lu Qishan was in a difficult position.
Therefore, in order to restrain the Blood Wolf Brigade, they could only replenish Han soldiers to create a balance. At least, if there were any changes, the Mongolians would have to worry about the other Han.
"Forget it, just replenish them. Even if Lu Qishan did not make any contributions, he has worked hard. Promote him to Deputy Brigade Commander. Lakshon has commanded well twice, so he is a qualified commander. Let him be the Brigade Commander.
As for Jinxing, he has also contributed a lot, but he is not suitable to command. Let him be the Brigade Chief of Staff. In addition, promote him to the rank of Major General. Lakshon will be promoted to Colonel. Lu Qishan … let him be a Major … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang resolved the internal conflicts in the Blood Wolf Brigade. In the end, he used military ranks to dismiss them. He thought that Jinxing, who valued his reputation as much as his life, would not object. After all, it was the title of General.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang finished talking about the arrangements for Jinxing and the others, he thought about the source of soldiers. He said with some annoyance,
"What's the matter with the source of soldiers?
Our population base is three hundred thousand. Other than half of the women and children, we have at least one hundred and fifty thousand strong men as the source of soldiers. Why can't we find soldiers?
Is it because those bastards are comfortable and don't want to fight anymore? "
