Chapter 1641 Stand Up Straight
The Lord was angry and frightened everyone.
Chi Lie and others quickly knelt down and apologized to Lei Zhen.
"Fuck? I'm asking why this happened, why the hell are you all kneeling on the ground?" Lei Zhen laughed angrily, "A legion commander, five deputy legion commanders, and a group of senior commanders, and all they do when faced with a problem is kneel down?"
He suddenly stood up, kicked Chi Lie to the ground, and cursed at the group of people.
"I kill people without blinking an eye in battle, but I become so soft-hearted when faced with a problem. Do you bastards still take me seriously?"
"Is he too scared to say it or can't say it? I'm here to get to the bottom of this matter. If you guys want to play with me, I can just kneel down without offending anyone, right?"
"I am the ruler of this grassland! Even your former Bright Moon Ruler would cry beneath me. I am the only king here, not a plunderer, nor a guardian, and certainly not a leader..."
He made his identity clear while cursing, letting Chi Lie and the others clearly understand that he was here for real and not just for show.
And let them understand that the master is the master, no one is allowed to disobey, and he will not be kidnapped by anyone.
"Master, we have no other choice..." Chi Lie raised his head and said helplessly, "There are only so many resources allocated, and sometimes it's not enough."
"Stand up and speak!"
Lei Zhen glared with a fierce look on his face.
"I'm giving you a chance to stand up straight. If anyone kneels down before me, I'm going to kill them!"
"Yes, Master!"
“…”
Chi Lie and others stood up, their eyes full of gratitude.
They never knew what the Overlord was like, but now they know; they didn't know what the Overlord of the Bright Moon was like, but now they know what the Overlord of the Sun is like.
They can eat from the same pot as the lowest-level soldiers, bow to their nameless brothers who died in battle, and give them a tough attitude.
People are all made of flesh and blood, and violent people are not stupid.
The Lord is not being hypocritical in doing this, but truly treating them as human beings.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"It's all fucking stripped off!"
A deputy legion commander couldn't help but stand up and expose it loudly.
"The soldiers' rations are regulated, but the higher-ups exploit them, and the logistics department withholds them. By the time the rations reach us, only 10% remains, and sometimes even less than 10%."
"We have no other choice but to use our meager rations, along with wild vegetables and potatoes, to barely survive..."
The practice of taking food from soldiers' mouths is the same everywhere, but it is particularly prominent here.
Because of class and status, when faced with exploitation from above, everyone can only choose to endure it and no one dares to say anything.
This is like facing a natural enemy. The slightest flap of its wings will scare you to the point of trembling with fear, let alone resistance.
"What is the established food ration standard?" Lei Zhen asked.
"40 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains per person per month," replied the deputy corps commander.
"Where are the side dishes?"
"It can be exchanged for food."
"What about the mission allowance?"
"Is there any mission subsidy?"
“…”
50 kilograms of food per person per month is definitely enough.
But side dishes need to be exchanged for grain, which is equivalent to taking advantage of a piece of food, because the exchange is definitely not equal.
There are no subsidies of any kind, which means that no one has enough food every month to cover their food and clothing.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with enduring this, but the problem is that after distribution, only 5 kilograms are left, which is only enough for an adult for 5 days. If you live frugally, you can eat it for 10 days, but what about the remaining 20 days?
"Okay, I understand." Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, "From now on, everyone's monthly rations will be increased to 100 kilograms. Go get them tomorrow. That's what I said."
100 pounds?
Chi Lie and others were stunned. This was something they could never imagine.
"If they don't give, then take it!"
"That's what I said, you guys wouldn't dare to rob them, would you?"
Everyone was stunned again. They really hadn't thought about snatching it, but the master spoke.
"If you can grab it, eat it. If you can't grab it, you'll continue to starve. Your fate is in your hands."
After saying this, Lei Zhen stood up and left, leaving Chi Lie and others stunned.
But the Black Emperor hasn't left yet.
Chi Lie looked at Lei Zhen who was leaving, and his eyes fell on Hei Huang.
"Lord Black Emperor, what exactly does the Lord mean?"
"What do you mean? It's obvious that the Lord is planning to make use of you!" Black Emperor laughed and said, "My master is different from others. He cares most about the grassroots warriors."
He turned his head and took a quick look, then leaned close to Chi Lie and spoke in a low voice.
"Many people above us don't want my master to rule because it would harm their interests, so here's your chance."
"Whether you are loyal to the Berserker Legion or to the Sun Lord directly determines your fate! Either continue living like this, or turn things around."
"Captain Chilie, now it's up to you..."
Heihuang is very good at doing things and handling things.
When Lei Zhen arrived at the Violent Legion, he almost guessed what they were going to do, so he knew exactly what he should do.
"Of course we are loyal to the Lord!" Chi Lie said without hesitation: "Just because the Lord eats a bowl of rice with the warriors, he is worthy of our following."
"Then do you dare to kill the leader for him?" asked Hei Huang.
"What's there to be afraid of? Anyone who dares to threaten the Lord will be the enemy of the Violent Legion!" Chi Lie said loudly.
"The Legion Commander is right. Whoever threatens the Overlord is our enemy!"
"No matter if he's a leader or a guardian, we dare to slaughter him and put him in the pot!"
“…”
That’s right, loyalty must prevail.
Only by doing this can you have a better life and gain true respect.
This is communication from the top down. If it were a mutiny...how could it be considered a mutiny when the lower-level soldiers supported their master? At most, it could be considered a purge of the imperial court!
…
After leaving the Berserker Legion, Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and stared at the person coming from the opposite side.
"Black Emperor, is that from the Plunderer Legion?"
"Yes, Master, he probably heard the news, so he came here quickly."
"What do you think of the Marauders?"
“It can be used.”
"Not for now, avoid them."
"Yes, Master!"
“…”
Since we are going to take the grassroots approach, we must carry it through to the end.
Lei Zhen doesn’t have time to waste talking to the Plunderer Legion and the Guardian Legion now. What he wants is the Berserker Legion, the absolute main force.
As long as this legion is loyal to me, that's enough.
With four more leaders in charge, both plunderers and guardians have to behave themselves.
As for the Lord's 3,000 guards...
Lei Zhen will start with them because they are not his people.
There must be a target to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. The guard's label is the Lord of the Bright Moon, so it is most appropriate to kill him like a chicken.
As for Jiaoyue's opinion, it really doesn't matter. This daughter-in-law wants the result and doesn't care about the process at all, let alone these 3,000 people.
Of course, communication is still necessary. It’s called respect!
