Chapter 176, 'Central Blossom' Army
After personally experiencing the teaching level with the help of the building system, Gu Hang was very satisfied.
What is directly enhanced is the teacher’s teaching level and the teaching atmosphere.
But at the same time, he believes that the efficiency gains brought by the [building] system have not yet been fully utilized.
If there are better teaching materials and better teaching hardware, such as pictures and videos to assist in the lectures, and the teachers are good enough and have enough knowledge...
If all these things are available, combined with the buffs brought by the building system, such as greatly improved teacher explanation level, improved teaching atmosphere, improved student concentration, etc., the overall effect bonus will be more obvious.
Only at that point can it be said that the one thousand points of grace that Gu Hang spent on Zhongsi College were utilized to the maximum extent.
To this end, Gu Hang took a whole day to discuss the subsequent reform plan with the Dean of Academic Affairs, Mesheko, and the Vice President who came over, and promised that the relevant teaching funds would be invested in Zhongsi College first.
In addition, Gu Hang also specifically mentioned that Zhongsi College would set up an advanced class for short-term training.
For this kind of advanced class, Gu Hang will teach a lesson in person.
Mesheko took note of this incident.
This so-called advanced version is where Gu Hang plans to spend his grace points to train the "Company Political Commissar" type of soldier.
The system was called this, and it was positioned as a military branch, but in fact, Gu Hang did not intend to use it only as a training ground for military and political officers. Gu Hang would gather those who performed well in Zhongsi College or those who needed to be trained in various industries and put them into this advanced class, and train them into "company political commissars" at the cost of ten points of grace per person.
After graduation, these people will return to their posts with the will of the most loyal soldiers and play an exemplary leading role.
Of course, training military and political officers is also a very important part.
The first batch of places given by Gu Hang amounted to a total of seventy.
This will cost him seven hundred points of grace.
But paying that price pays off.
Fifty qualified political commissars will be selected from various armies. After returning, they will enter the divisional and regimental headquarters to serve as political commissars. They will be the most determined force in the army to ensure the loyalty of the legion to the governor and the morale and discipline of the army during combat.
Of the other twenty, fifteen will be people from government agencies at all levels. After they return, I believe they will be able to bring back their beliefs, ideals, and loyalty; the other five will come from caravans, factories, and other enterprises and institutions.
They will be promoted faster than the average person, but the responsibilities they shoulder will also be greater than the average person.
Gu Hang is looking forward to the time when these seeds take root and sprout.
If you don’t have enough seeds, grow a few more batches.
…
The Morgans, as well as their sister Miria, were selected into the advanced class.
They fully realize what a valuable opportunity this is.
Regardless of what they could learn from attending Zhongsi Academy, at least this resume had become a golden signboard in the New Alliance society. Not to mention, they also attended the advanced classes held from time to time and received personal instruction from the Governor-General.
In this way, a golden resume becomes even more brilliant.
Who can say I'm not loyal from now on?
What's more, after completing these seven days of courses, they are more than just gilded.
Jason Morgan talked with his wife, and they both felt that they had learned a lot of practical things.
The first and most obvious one is military skill.
Part of the seven-day course was military training, and after just a few days, they felt like they had become qualified soldiers who could fight with guns.
This is most obvious to those who have no previous military training experience.
Another very important point is that they know how to boost morale, excite people and enforce discipline.
This includes language skills, expression skills, body movements, how to set an example in daily life, which are principles, and which can be flexible. You must get along well with others, have deep friendships, care about others, pay attention to what others think, become friends, brothers, and people that others can rely on; but at the same time, you must also pay attention to building prestige in daily life, instilling loyal beliefs and ideals in others, and be ruthless at critical moments, strictly abide by the bottom line, set an example, and use power, prestige, friendship and even violence. In short, do everything you can to boost morale and maintain discipline.
This knowledge is not just talk, they also understand the specific implementation methods.
To be honest, they still feel a bit like they are in a dream: Are we geniuses? Can we learn everything in seven days?
They even had some doubts about the extra part of the brain. Do these methods really work in practice?
I don’t know, there is no practical environment yet.
However, if something happens, let's give it a try. The Governor's teachings can't be wrong, right?
As for whether their own level of ideological awareness has improved...
It’s hard to say for others, but at least Jason Morgan feels that it’s nothing.
What about being loyal to the Governor and loving the Alliance; what about having firm beliefs and guaranteeing loyalty... I've already known these things after repeating them a thousand times. It's just that I've repeated them a few more times this time. What special changes could there be?
Can it really make me stand up for the beliefs in my heart when I encounter danger, even at the cost of my life?
It's impossible. It's impossible in this lifetime.
He thought so.
But what he didn't know was that at certain critical moments and in certain critical decisions, people sometimes don't do things purely rationally or selfishly. The heroes who stepped forward often did amazing things with just a thought in their mind.
…
The benefits of joining Zhongsi's advanced class came faster than expected.
In addition to what you learn, the same is true for advancement within the league’s system.
In addition, there were situations where some important departments were competing for people among the 20 non-military candidates.
For example, Haiers Morgan was transferred from her original unit soon after graduation. She was transferred to Xifeng Zhongsi College as a candidate for an excellent lecturer. Before entering the advanced training class, she was already a well-known "ideological progressive" in the college. This time, she has further exerted her advantages. Moreover, she is likely to participate in the next textbook reform of Zhongsi College.
Her sister, Milia de Jong, was snatched away by the disciplinary committee under Lambert. Anti-corruption and audit work require people with advanced ideas and a sense of justice.
Jason Morgan himself did not have any job transfer, but he was soon promoted to a D3 staff member and sent to the Qinggu area in the south to serve as a local civil affairs liaison officer, responsible for receiving refugees, and would leave soon. His past resume was gilded with a layer of gold, and if he could make a difference in the south, his future would be bright.
Apart from these twenty people from government departments, there were no particularly clear promotions for the fifty political commissars selected from military units at all levels.
But it’s okay, they are in high positions and have great power.
Before coming to the advanced training class, they were the military and political leaders of various units, basically including the political commissars at the division, brigade and regiment levels, as well as the instructors of the combined battalion in the 1st Xifeng Brigade. After returning to their respective units, they basically still did their original jobs, but it must be much better than the previous situation where they were forced to do things.
Moreover, although there was no change in the positions, the military ranks were generally improved.
The size of the New Alliance Army is not small, but the ranks of officers at all levels are generally low compared to the size of the army. For example, the division commander and brigade commander are mostly lieutenant colonels; the regiment commander is mostly a major; the battalion commander is generally only a captain, and many company commanders are only lieutenants or even second lieutenants; a large number of platoon leaders are not even officers, but are non-commissioned officers.
This is a historical problem. The troops were established not long ago, especially after the recovery of the ruins of the tower. The garrison divisions were basically reorganized from the original adventure group. Although they have undergone the training of the [Soldier Card] system, the people are still the same people. Most of the military commanders are the people in power in the previous adventure group. Although their group has been divided and dismantled to minimize the occurrence of factionalism, they still cannot avoid appointing these people as leaders.
In this way, Gu Hang also deliberately suppressed the military rank. Those who did a good job and had military merits would be promoted, and the future division commanders and brigade commanders would be given the rank of colonel; those who did not do a good job did not need to be demoted, and could just keep their military rank and do the work of the corresponding rank.
When the military chief officers generally have low military ranks, it is even more difficult for a second-in-command like the political commissar to surpass them, and they are generally one level lower.
But this time, Gu Hang promoted most of the fifty political commissars who were sent back to the next level, and most of them were on the same level as the military chiefs in their respective troops.
This represents his attitude.
…
Jordan Leroy is an old member of the Waste Cave Society. Like Perbov, he was one of the first soldiers to come out of the Waste Cave Society. He was selected as the first batch of political commissars at the same time as Thadius, and was also a red hat. He has now become the brigade political commissar of the 1st Quiet Wind Brigade.
He previously held the rank of major, and had just been specially awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel by the governor, making him the same rank as their brigade commander, Pobov.
His troops left the starship a week ago and went on vacation after landing. He himself was transferred to Zhongsi College to attend a refresher course.
Three days ago, his troops ended their vacation and were replenished with more than 2,000 soldiers from the recruit barracks, as well as a batch of equipment that had just been transported from the Weixing City arsenal, to make up for the losses in the battle on the starship.
Immediately afterwards, the troops left their base and headed to the west of Fuxing City.
There, the 7th and 8th Divisions were facing off against an army composed of allied rebel settlements.
This new batch of troops is to reinforce the 7th and 8th Divisions, and must achieve crucial results and end the battle in the shortest possible time.
For this reason, after the course at Zhongsi College ended, Leroy immediately got in a car and, together with several political commissars who would also participate in the war, arrived at the second-line battlefield about 130 kilometers west of Fuxing City.
Everyone parted ways here and went to find their own troops.
He also found the location of his troops. The flags of the Wind-Quening Brigade were planted in various places in the second-line camp, fluttering in the wind.
The car drove into the barracks, and under the guidance of the soldiers, he came to a military tent. Lieutenant Colonel Perbov, who had just received the news, walked out of the door to greet his old partner.
The two hugged each other. Perbov patted Leroy on the back and said with a smile, "I finally got you back. Now I can lead the troops forward without any worries."
Leroy just smiled and pulled Perbov, his fellow countryman and colleague, into the command tent.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a military sand table.
Leroy asked, "What's the situation now? I rushed here right after I got out of school, and I didn't have a chance to hear the latest situation on the way."
Perbov said: "I was just about to tell you..."
Three days ago, the fully equipped Xifeng Brigade, the 2nd Motorized Infantry Division which had completed motorization, and the Beast Slaughter Regiment set out together and arrived at the front line of the battle.
Among them, the 3rd Independent Regiment is worth mentioning. They finally got back the title of "Beast Slayer" that they had always wanted. This was thanks to the battle hero, Earo Lacrosha, who was born in their unit and blew up the warlord of the orc fleet.
That guy is now very successful. Not only did he get the second Wind-Quieting Medal in the entire army, but his rank was also promoted from corporal to senior sergeant. He was originally going to be promoted to an officer to lead the troops, but he refused. He said he only knew how to be a soldier.
There was no other way. Originally, the highest rank of non-commissioned officers in the Alliance Army was staff sergeant. However, for him, three levels were specially created: sergeant major, senior sergeant major, and special sergeant major. Lacroxia was made the only special sergeant major in the entire army, commonly known as the soldier king.
And he, along with the troops that took back the name of the Beast Killing Corps, arrived here last night.
They did not engage in battle immediately, mainly because they wanted to rest for a while after a quick march of more than 100 kilometers. They also needed time to formulate an overall combat plan and wait for the political commissars of various troops who were still in training.
Now, everything is ready, all we need is the attack signal.
The commander-in-chief of this battle was Colonel Yan Fangxu.
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 8th division-level units gathered together to form an army group. Yan Fangxu, the highest military leader of the alliance army, took on the responsibility of being the commander of the army group.
He is under a lot of pressure.
The enemies on the opposite side are not so bad, just a group of rabble, even if their numbers are not small, but now Yan Fangxu has assembled a large army under his command, can he still be afraid?
But the Governor's eager expectations made him feel pressured.
According to the Governor's instructions, this battle must be fought quickly, with great results, and the outcome must be decided in one battle. It cannot be dragged out.
This is a political necessity.
War is an extension of politics.
In addition, although the governor did not say it explicitly, if the casualties were too heavy in a battle, he would probably not gain any benefits even if all the battle objectives set before the war were achieved.
However, he did not back down and formulated a battle plan based on the guiding ideology of "quickly defeating and completely annihilating the enemy".
He called it 'center flowering'.
If we want to be the spearhead force in the center, the Xifeng Brigade is the one that deserves the most recognition.
