Chapter 7: Abuse of power for personal gain
Thor!
Ye Chen looked at the man in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that the man whom he had rescued casually at the beginning has now become the battalion commander of the central military department of Huaxia Base City!
In today's post-apocalyptic, reorganized army, the hierarchy is very different from before. It is divided into ten levels, the highest of which is the commander-in-chief of the army, who holds military power and is also the boss of the base city!
Under the commander-in-chief, they are divided into: senior commander, middle commander, lower-level commander, general, lieutenant general, major general, battalion commander, regiment commander, and captain!
Military ranks and military positions are abolished and combined into a unified position. There is no distinction between military ranks and military positions. Everything is simplified and unified!
From the above ten positions, the positions of army commander and division commander were cancelled, and a major reorganization was carried out! The "regiment" was changed from the previous "big regiment" to the current "small regiment", with 100 people as a regiment and 100 people as a team!
This is a reform of the base city system!
To give an analogy, the propaganda department in ancient times was definitely not as complicated as it is today, with advertising creatives, technical personnel, planning departments, etc. It was too detailed. In ancient times, they were given printed paper and asked to post it everywhere, because at that time, as long as you posted it, people would see it. But nowadays, there are too many advertisements and the competition is too fierce. This is the difference between modern and ancient times in this regard.
The types of professions that exist in an era are simply determined by the needs of that era!
Promotion in military rank comes from experience and skills.
The skill of being a soldier in the apocalypse is how to hunt monsters and know the monsters' weaknesses, but this can only be known if you have the power to kill the monsters.
Therefore, there is no military rank system, but the names of military ranks are applied to military positions and are uniformly called military ranks!
Among them, the battalion commander has a very high rank and holds a lot of military power. Each battalion commander has ten regiments under him, and each regiment has five teams! A battalion has a quota of one thousand people!
So far…
A total of 108 battalions were recruited! The battalion Ye Chen was in was the newest one, and as more and more people came in, the battalion would continue to expand.
Each battalion commander has thousands of soldiers under his command, and the monthly performance is extremely amazing. They can obtain a large amount of genetically modified meat and monster corpses, which can be given to the Ministry of Commerce to be made into dishes and sold.
Behind them, Bai Long and others did not recognize Gu Xinghe when they first saw him. When they heard these words, they were stunned and looked at the man in surprise. After a moment, they remembered.
"It's you?" Bai Long was surprised, then grinned and said, "Long time no see, I didn't expect you to have reached this level, really good!"
Gu Xinghe smiled slightly and said to Mo Feng, Bai Long and the others, "Luckily we arrived in time. Since I became the battalion commander, I have instructed the officers in charge of guarding the city gates of the base city to report to me immediately if they see you. Unfortunately, my position is not high enough, so they didn't report to me until today. I asked around and tracked you down here. It's really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
Everyone laughed.
Gu Xinghe glanced at Ye Chen, but did not ask what happened. Instead, he turned his head, put away his smile, looked at the muscular man, and asked majestically, "What happened?"
The sturdy man secretly cursed in his heart. From Gu Xinghe's attitude towards Ye Chen and others, it can be seen that even if they are not friends, they are still acquaintances. He has hit a wall.
Although Ye Chen killed someone.
But in front of a battalion commander, killing a person is nothing, and he can turn black into white. This is favoritism and abuse of power!
Sue him?
The sturdy man didn't even think about it. For a team leader in charge of a few individuals, it was obviously irrational for him to sue a battalion commander in charge of a thousand people. Unless he had the protection of a big shot or a strong backing, otherwise he would be courting death!
after all--
The one who died was just a clerk in the Information Department. Such people can be recruited at will in the apocalypse, and there are as many as you want. The Base City will not punish a battalion commander for such a small person. After all, the utilization value of the two is completely different. And now in the Base City, talents are scarce, and talents are needed everywhere. It doesn't matter if those humble and weak people like ants are thrown away.
This is the cruelty of the rulers of the post-apocalyptic base city!
Of course, if such a thing were to be exposed and cause a great uproar in the city, then the base city would have no choice but to execute the battalion commander due to public opinion. Otherwise, who would come to base city to join them in the future?
Looking at Gu Xinghe's sharp gaze, the sturdy man's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He lowered his head and said, "No, nothing."
Gu Xinghe snorted coldly: "Why don't you leave if nothing happens? If I hear any rumors, you know the consequences!"
Rumor? The sturdy man smiled bitterly in his heart. It was clearly a fact, but now it has become a rumor. He nodded bitterly and waved to the people around him. The group of soldiers were very tactful and quickly lowered their heads and got on the truck.
“Woo——”
The car drove away, and the big truck not far away also started quickly. It followed behind and left. He didn't dare to look at Ye Chen and others, knowing that he was in trouble this time. Everyone present was a witness to what happened today. Not only could he not tell anyone, but he also had to prevent others from telling anyone. He had to keep it completely confidential. Otherwise, he would be tracked down by the battalion commander Gu Xinghe. He would not do anything to him on the surface, but he would kill him secretly.
After these people left, Gu Xinghe smiled slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Are you interested? Let's go to the hotel for dinner."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, now that the incident is over and I have completed my report, I will go to the army first."
Gu Xinghe said helplessly: "Okay, but with your strength, I believe you can earn military merits and become a battalion commander very quickly."
Ye Chen nodded, not denying it at all.
"Then I'll be leaving first. We can get together some other day when we have time. The base city is expanding rapidly recently, and there are still many things to do."
"Go ahead." Ye Chen nodded.
Gu Xinghe waved his hand, turned around, got into the luxury BMW, and left the community.
"Let's go." Ye Chen turned around and walked into the building without any reluctance. He returned to the office and saw several registration clerks hiding in the corner, talking in low voices.
When they saw him coming back, they were startled and quickly shut their mouths.
Ye Chen was too lazy to pay attention. He walked to the dead woman's desk, opened the document, searched in the empty team, randomly selected a team, put everyone's information in it, then took out five pieces of paper from the drawer, wrote his own names on them, and distributed them to Bai Long and others.
He did all the registration procedures more naturally than those people, which made the people next to him stunned. When they first came, they were taught by the supervisor for a long time before they knew every step. But how could Ye Chen, an outsider, know that?
After Ye Chen distributed the cards to Bai Long and others, he took the lead and walked out of the room. He walked towards the building of the community according to the address written on the card. As he walked, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In his previous life, he took refuge in a base city and was assigned to this kind of work in the early days. Later, he was spotted by a big shot and transferred to the army. From then on, his fate began to change...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If he hadn't had the help of that great man, he would have only lived for two or three years in his previous life and then died.
7 buildings!
This is where Ye Chen and others live. This community is the 108th military camp, with a total of 10 regiments, each with five teams! Ye Chen chose the eighth regiment!
Before entering the building, there was a middle-aged man sitting there. He was wearing camouflage clothes and looked quite capable. When he saw Ye Chen and others coming, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Let's join the team." Ye Chen walked up to him and handed him the card.
The middle-aged man looked down, then looked up at Ye Chen, with a smile on his face, and said, "Have you ever had any experience in killing?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Good luck to you. I hope you won't die in the mouth of a zombie. The third team is still short of people. It's on the fifth floor. You can go."
Ye Chen nodded, without saying anything more, walked into the building, and went up the stairs. Bai Long and others followed him.
After a while, we arrived at the fifth floor.
There are two rooms on the first floor, both doors are open. Ye Chen walked to 501, knocked on the door, and walked in. He saw that the room had been renovated and many luxurious furniture had been moved out. There were only some simple furniture and a double iron bed, with bunk beds. There were two in the living room and three bedrooms.
"Who are you looking for?" A young man was washing clothes with a basin full of blood, and asked in surprise.
Ye Chen took a look and said, "We are new here, and we don't know where there are empty beds."
The young man suddenly realized, then smiled and said, "There is an empty bedroom inside with two bunk beds. You can move in."
Ye Chen nodded and walked in.
"My name is Qinghe. I don't know your name yet." The young man saw Bailong and others outside the door and said with a smile.
"Ye Chen."
Ye Chen finished speaking calmly and walked into the bedroom, followed by Mo Feng, who was also a person who didn't like to communicate. There were two beds in this bedroom, which was similar to the rooms of the workers in the factory.
The captain of the third team was a well-proportioned young man who looked extremely peaceful. After learning that Ye Chen and the others were new arrivals, he introduced them to each other, talked about some common sense and military rules, and then left.
the next day.
Ye Chen got up very early and saw Bai Long and others were still sleeping soundly. He shook his head helplessly, opened the door and walked out. Immediately, he saw the young man named Qinghe also got up, nodded slightly, walked out of the room and headed for the cafeteria.
There is a unified canteen in the military camp.
Ye Chen came here alone, ate two bowls of porridge, and then returned to the dormitory. The amount of food for each soldier was regulated, and only two bowls of porridge were provided in the morning. If more was needed, they had to pay for it themselves.
"I don't know what kind of military merit mission there is. I'll be promoted to a senior official in a few days. In that case, I won't have to stay in the base city all day. I can live a leisurely life, do my own things, and get a salary from the military."
The higher the position, the more leisurely one tends to be, just like a worker and a boss. However, the higher the position, the more important things one is busy with and no mistakes can be made.
Ye Chen walked towards a building where military merits were announced.
