When Chen Yu heard Sha Baojin say that he could give the "anti-cold disaster relief militia" a regular military order, he was slightly taken aback. This old guy was making empty promises to him.
He is the "Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Cold Relief and Disaster Relief Campaign," appointed by the Chief of the Great Xia government. He is given the highest decision-making power, both administratively and militarily. Do my soldiers need a retired old man like you to give them "regular military order"? Isn't that absurd?
Seeing that Chen Yu hadn't responded for a long time, Sha Baojin grew anxious. He pointed at Hou Liang and said, "Mr. Chen, Mayor Hou is the mayor of Haidu City. The next step up is a cadre at the leadership level of Great Xia. Furthermore, he has a father-in-law named 'Liu Zhengguo'..."
Upon hearing this, before Chen Yu could speak, Hou Liang became agitated: "Elder Sha, my father-in-law is my father-in-law, and I am me, Hou Liang is me, and I am Hou Liang for life..."
"Mayor Hou, I know you have a strong sense of self-respect, but you have to know when to stop!" Sha Baojin interrupted Hou Liang in a low voice.
Hou Liang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He rubbed his head and finally said, "I can handle this. I can ask my father-in-law to help you."
"Haha~!" Zhou Xuemin suddenly burst into laughter, "Very good, I've been feeding and treating you well since I took power, and you actually betrayed me at this moment!"
At this point, Zhou Xuemin's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "However, you've miscalculated! If I don't leave this building today, none of you will leave!"
At the same time, he suddenly pulled a remote control out of his pocket and pressed his finger on its red button.
“I had explosives planted in this building long ago. As soon as I press the button, the explosives will detonate instantly, and the building will collapse in an instant, burying us all under the rubble.” Zhou Xuemin’s voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying an undeniable determination.
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Yu said coldly.
Zhou Xuemin's face was contorted with madness as he said in a deep voice, "So what? You've already driven me to the brink, I..."
"Da da da~"
With a series of gunshots, Zhou Xuemin's arm, which was holding the remote control, was shot into mincemeat.
"Ah~ my hand!" Zhou Xuemin let out a shrill scream, "You...you have no martial ethics! Ah~!"
"Bang!"
The remote control that had fallen to the ground was also smashed to pieces.
“Zhou Xuemin has seized military power, rebelled against the Heavenly Gang, and wreaked havoc in Haidu. His crimes are unforgivable. Guards, take him away and hand him over to the Haidu Municipal Government for processing!” Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, two "militiamen" quickly stepped forward and firmly restrained Zhou Xuemin to prevent him from making any further moves to resist.
These "militia fighters" were the squad that Qi Xiaowei brought.
They, who were originally imprisoned on the rooftop by Zhou Xuemin's armed men, had already been rescued by the "militia regiment's" drones and brought to the scene.
"Thump~" Qian Dong suddenly knelt down on the ground and shouted, "Mr. Chen, I am willing to abandon darkness and turn to the light, and submit to you."
Chen Yu ignored Qian Dong and continued, "Deputy Commander Qi, I'll give you 30,000 'militia soldiers' to help Mayor Hou and his men take back control of Haidu. Is that alright?"
Qi Xiaowei exclaimed in shock: "No, Mr. Chen, isn't our goal to occupy Nandu? Haidu has practically no food..."
"Stop talking, this is settled!" Chen Yu interrupted Qi Xiaowei directly. "We can take Nandu at any time, but my 'Militia Group' only has this one chance to prove itself! We can't miss this opportunity!"
"I understand." Qi Xiaowei nodded solemnly.
"Hehe~! Mayor Hou, Elder Sha, do you think my arrangements are satisfactory?" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen is truly a man of great integrity!" Sha Baojin gave a thumbs up.
“Mr. Chen, your decision was both decisive and far-sighted, and I, Hou Liang, deeply admire it.” Hou Liang nodded repeatedly.
"Then... about our 'Cold Relief Militia Corps' being formally incorporated into the military order...?" Chen Yu asked tentatively.
“If your army can help my Haidu government regain control of Haidu, it will be a great achievement for Haidu and even for the entire Great Xia. As for the ‘Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps’ being incorporated into the regular army, I will naturally give my full support and petition the court to fight for the honor and status you deserve.” Sha Jinbao’s tone was firm, and his eyes shone with sincerity.
Hou Liang also vowed that he would fully support Chen Yu's "anti-cold disaster relief militia corps" to become a full member if things went well.
“In that case, thank you both very much.” Chen Yu’s tone was full of gratitude and determination. “On behalf of all members of the ‘Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps,’ I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you both. We will live up to your expectations and do our best to help Haidu quell the rebellion. In the future, we will become a solid defense line for the Great Xia, protecting the peace and prosperity of this land.”
Upon hearing this, Sha Jinbao and Hou Liang exchanged a glance, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly.
They both saw the same message in each other's eyes: "This is a sure thing."
In ancient times, the imperial court recruited bandits from Liangshan. Now, Hou Liang (Sha Baojin) is recruiting an illegal armed army. The end of the universe is the establishment of an organization. The ancients were right!
In their view, a character like Chen Yu was the easiest to control. They had already grasped Chen Yu's weakness—his desire for the formalization of the "anti-cold disaster relief militia corps".
This aspiration is not only Chen Yu's responsibility and commitment to the future of the soldiers as the leader of the legion, but also his deep expectation for the honor and status of the entire legion.
And if they grasp this point, wouldn't this powerful "militia" have to obey them?
"With the world in chaos now, and such a powerful legion at my disposal, I might as well try to take that position!"
The idea appeared in both Sha Baojin's and Hou Liang's minds at the same time, and upon thinking about it, the two of them simultaneously put a little distance between each other.
This detail was keenly captured by Chen Yu on the other side of the camera, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
