Chapter 1640 Taking the Mass Line

How to seize military power in the shortest possible time is a difficult question.

Not to mention an army, even if a leader is parachuted into the company, it will take a long time to take control, and during this period he will be at risk of being eliminated at any time.

But for Lei Zhen, this is a very simple issue - the mass line!

That’s right, it’s the mass line.

If we analyze it more deeply, this route is a typical dragon-slaying technique.

Now that he has come to the bottom as a master, what he wants is to win over the hearts of the violent legion, because this is the largest main force.

"Chilie, take me around," Lei Zhen said with a smile. "I've just taken over the grassland and don't know anything, so I decided to come to your place first to see what the soldiers' living conditions are like."

Hearing this, Chi Lie became even more excited.

"Master, where do you want to go?"

"Just wander around... Isn't it time for the soldiers to eat at this hour?"

"Yes, it's time to eat."

"I'm hungry too. Can you accompany me to find a place to eat?"

"Master, I will prepare a meal for you."

"No need to go to so much trouble..."

There is no need for so many fancy tricks to win over the troops.

As long as the soldiers can be well fed, they will immediately gain support, because this is what the grassroots soldiers care about most.

Lei Zhen knew this principle too well. His usual style was to ensure that his subordinates were well fed. Only when they were well fed would they work hard for him.

So he allowed his commanders to get money, they could rob or steal, but they were not allowed to deduct money from the soldiers.

If you are really poor, you can ask Lei Zhen for it.

The group walked forward, and wherever they passed, there was awe and worship.

"Heihuang, have you ever eaten here?" Lei Zhen asked.

"Master, I haven't eaten it." Heihuang replied.

"Then let's try it together." Lei Zhen said with a smile.

"Lord of the Sun, should I have someone prepare food specifically for you?" Chi Lie pleaded, "I'm afraid the food the warriors eat won't suit your taste."

"What? The soldiers can eat it, but I can't? Haha, it's right here." Lei Zhen casually pointed to a campsite and led everyone in.

After entering, he first went to the cooking area.

There is no kitchen here. They just set up a bonfire on the grass and put a big iron pot on it to cook something black. No one knows what it is, but it gives off a sour smell.

"Give me a bowl." Lei Zhen ordered.

"Lord Sun, you can't eat this." Chi Lie pleaded again.

"I think that's a good idea. Let the soldiers stop kneeling and serve the food together." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "Hei Huang, help the soldiers serve the food."

"Yes, Master!"

Heihuang took the big spoon and served the soldiers himself.

This scene scared everyone, especially the soldiers, who didn't dare to move forward.

What is this?

Who would dare to serve them food if the leader did?

Even the legion commander Chi Lie didn't dare to do so. Although he didn't work under Hei Huang, Hei Huang was one of the five leaders and his rank was far higher than his own.

"Don't be afraid, line up and come one by one."

"No one will blame you. I'm just saying, is there anyone bigger than me on the grassland? Chilie, you go first and set an example for the soldiers..."

At Lei Zhen's request, Chi Lie picked up the bowl and walked forward timidly.

"Chilie, my master is different from others, so don't be afraid." Heihuang smiled as he served himself some rice. "He has been fighting since he was five years old, so he understands you best."

Hearing this, Chi Lie relaxed a lot.

As he finished his meal, the others temporarily put aside their fear and came forward one after another, holding various utensils in their hands.

Few people use bowls, and they are all broken.

After everything was served, Lei Zhen walked into the middle of the soldiers with his bowl and chopsticks and sat casually on the ground.

"Eat, what are you waiting for?"

"Okay, I'll eat first, haha."

He laughed loudly and tilted his head back to drink a mouthful of the mushy rice.

In an instant, an indescribable smell stimulated the taste and smell nerves.

What is this?

Sour, rotten, smelly, fishy...

The combination of various flavors creates something that almost makes you want to vomit.

But Lei Zhen could still eat it. After all, in this special period, he could eat whatever he could get, as long as it was not poisonous.

Seeing that he ate without frowning, the soldiers relaxed and started eating their food in big mouthfuls.

Hei Huang, who was standing next to him, couldn't eat it at first, but when he saw that his master was eating quite well, he had to suppress his nausea and swallow it.

After the meal, Lei Zhen didn't express any opinions.

He walked up to each soldier, reached out to straighten their clothes, with a gleam of relief in his eyes.

Something went wrong with this action!

The soldiers all cried... tears streaming down their faces.

Who could have imagined that the Sun Lord would come to the Violent Legion in person, who could have imagined that he would eat the same meals as the soldiers, and who could have imagined that he would personally tidy up the soldiers' clothes?

"Can you give me your shirt?" Lei Zhen said to a soldier.

Without any nonsense, the soldier immediately took off his shirt which was almost torn into strips, and presented it respectfully with his bare hands.

"Okay, I'll give you one too." Lei Zhen said with a smile.

He took off his shirt and stuffed it into the other person's hand, then said goodbye to the soldiers with a smile and continued walking forward.

At this moment, Chi Lie and his group had no idea what the master meant. They just felt their scalps tingling and became more cautious.

Further ahead is the western end of the grassland.

"What are those mounds of earth?" Lei Zhen asked, pointing to the distance.

"A graveyard." Chi Lie replied in a low voice, "All the dead warriors will be buried here. For those whose bodies cannot be brought back, their clothes will be buried there."

Lei Zhen said nothing and strode forward.

The others didn't dare to say anything and followed him to the cemetery with mounds of earth everywhere.

"so much……"

Looking at the densely packed mounds of earth in front of him, Lei Zhen couldn't count how many there were.

He took out three cigarettes, lit them and stuck them into the ground at his feet, then took three steps back and bowed deeply to the cemetery as a sign of respect.

Everyone stood there for three seconds, then quickly followed suit and bowed.

The moment Chi Lie bent down, tears welled up in his eyes and almost fell.

No one has ever cared about their life or death. In the eyes of those above them, the Violent Legion is just a number. The number of people who die is crossed out, and they don’t even have names.

He had never dreamed that the Sun Lord would take it so seriously and bow to the dead warrior...

"Let's go back to the Legion."

"Yes, Master!"

“…”

Back at the legion, Lei Zhen called a meeting of all senior leaders.

On the table were the soldiers' torn clothes and the food they had eaten today.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Why are my warriors naked? Why do my warriors eat food that even dogs wouldn't eat? Why do my warriors not even have a name after they die?"

"Chilie, you are the commander of the legion, you tell me first!"

Lei was furious, his heart and eyes filled with murderous intent.

He is putting on a show, he is trying to win people's hearts.

Skip directly through the Guardians, Plunderers, and all levels and go directly to the Berserker Legion at the bottom.

Bypass everyone else and prioritize recruiting this force!
