Chapter 262 How to Conquer an Army

How to completely conquer an army that does not belong to you?
The first step is to defeat them on the battlefield.

The second step is to defeat them outside the battlefield.

The third step is to lead them to defeat enemies they were originally unable to defeat.

The steps are simple, but the execution is quite difficult.

And now, Chen Jian has completed all the steps.

But unfortunately, even so, this Guards Brigade was not successfully incorporated into the army.

After all, they are indeed a team with faith.
-
Ignorant beliefs are still beliefs. How can it be so easy to change them?
However, although Jin Zhong still rejected the invitation to "surrender to the Huaxia Army", he was not completely unmoved as before.

Chen Jian could see obvious hesitation in his expression.

The string in his heart was about to break, and the originally unbreakable wall was becoming thinner and thinner with each impact.

This is an opportunity.

If this Guards Brigade could be allowed to join its ranks, there would be no doubt that the Chinese Army could be effectively strengthened in a short period of time.

So, what Chen Jian has to do is very simple.

Don't rush it, give him some time to see it for himself and experience it.

Chen Jian believed that no one could resist the temptation in front of a real wasteland succubus.

And now, an excellent opportunity is in front of Chen Jian.

The wounded soldiers of the Guards Brigade needed medical treatment, and the exhausted troops needed a safer environment to recuperate.

The Guards Brigade had no reason to refuse Chen Jian's invitation.

And that's exactly what happened.

After cleaning up the mess and organizing the equipment, Jin Zhong led a team of a hundred people and followed Chen Jian's team back to Base 011 by car.

This was their first time riding in a large transport equipment other than a steam locomotive, and the extremely quiet engine gave them a little shock. However, after learning that these freight cars were all powered by electricity, their shock quickly turned into confusion.

Electricity?

They are no strangers to this.

But the problem is that this is a luxury resource. If you want to generate electricity, you must build huge equipment and complex lines. Except for a few large cities, most other areas under the rule of the Mechanicus can only rely on batteries and small generators for power.

Being able to light a lamp is the limit.
Driving a vehicle?

Isn’t this too extravagant?

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Jin Zhong's mind.

He suddenly remembered that the "three" in the Holy Trinity originally also included "electricity".

However, after the previous saint ascended the throne, the importance of electricity continued to decline, until it gradually faded and disappeared from the sight of most people.

Only gunpowder and steam remain, still active on the battlefield and in human life.

Maybe this is wrong?
Perhaps these "Huaxia troops"' attempt to seize power and usurp the throne was really just to correct this mistake?
The more Jin Zhong thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to him, so much so that the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Jian changed a little.

However, Chen Jian was still completely unaware at this time that he had already achieved a closed loop of logic in a way that was completely impossible to guess.
After returning to Base 011, Chen Jian immediately arranged for Shen Yue to organize several Chinese soldiers who had received the most basic medical training to provide medical treatment to the soldiers of the Mechanicus' Guards Brigade.

Due to the long delay, the seriously injured soldiers basically could not survive.

But even so, after the situation finally stabilized, Jin Zhong still expressed his gratitude to Chen Jian.

".Twenty of the wounded survived, which is a great miracle."

"I originally thought that at least half of them would return to the heaven of the Holy Trinity."

"Here we are not allowed to mention religious concepts such as heaven and saints."

Chen Jian interrupted Jin Zhong, who was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded to indicate that he had no objection.

Can’t mention religion?

Indeed, no matter from which perspective, the Huaxia Army will not allow anyone to mention beliefs that have nothing to do with them.

This is not surprising.

In the period when the Mechanicus had not yet grown and other faiths were flourishing in this land, the saints of the Mechanicus also made such a request.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhong coughed and said:
"I was presumptuous. I will abide by your rules."

"In the next few days, I am afraid that my team and I will have to stay at Base 011 so that the wounded can receive further treatment and rest."

"We will find a way to repay you for your efforts and sacrifices."

"Is there anything we need to do?"

"need."

Chen Jian said bluntly:
"We are seriously short-handed, so we need you to help us on the battlefield."

"I see. What are the details?"

"Taiping City."

Chen Jian raised his hand and pointed to the southwest, then continued:

"Starting from Taiping City, all the way to Tongling City."

"We judge that the human settlement area near this waterway will be the main target of the beast tide's attack."

"According to the information we have obtained earlier, new traces of monsters have appeared in the Shijiu Lake area southeast of Taiping City, but they have not yet launched an attack on Taiping City."

"We need to kill those monsters before they cause serious consequences, so as to prevent them from putting pressure on us by attacking human settlements."

"So what you have to do is to go to the target area, find the monsters, and kill them."

"The duty lies."

Jin Zhong nodded heavily, and then said:
"In fact, even if you didn't ask me, I would lead my team to do this."

"We are here to destroy the monsters. Even if we are completely wiped out, we will not retreat."

"I won't let you all be wiped out."

Chen Jian smiled and waved his hand, then said:

"Like I said, we need you to clean up an entire human settlement belt."

"Obviously, it would be a huge waste if your team was wiped out before they finished cleaning up."

“So, we will provide you with certain support.”

"It includes but is not limited to tactical, material, equipment and logistical support."

"As long as you fight with the goal of killing monsters, you can get everything you need."

"everything?"

Jin Zhong asked in astonishment:

"You mean to provide us with all the equipment we need unconditionally?"

"Of course not unconditionally."

Chen Jian shook his head and replied:
"You must exchange it with victory."

"The greater your victory, the more luxurious equipment you can obtain."

"If you can achieve a big enough result and have a convincing enough goal, it is not impossible to lend you our 30A, which is your sacred elephant."

Holy elephant.

This word rushed into Jin Zhong's mind, almost disrupting all his value judgment systems.

He answered almost without hesitation:

"I will do it!" Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"But the premise of all this is that you must lead your team to receive a certain level of training."

"As I said, you may use the holy image."

"But you at least have to know how to use it, right?"

"Correct."

Jin Zhong nodded slowly and said:
"That's a reasonable request. So, when do we start?"

"Now you can."

Chen Jian pointed to the Chinese army that was training in the distance and said:

"Take your team and join them. They are doing basic training."

"I think you can also use this kind of training."

In the next few days, Jin Zhong stayed at Base 011 as planned.

Life here is actually much more monotonous than they imagined, but every detail is filled with "novelty" that they cannot understand.

Everyone in the Guards Brigade was involuntarily attracted, but they had no time to feel it in detail.

Because their "training plan" is too full.

On the first day, all the soldiers of the Guards Brigade who were still capable of fighting were gathered together.

They were first asked to take off their heavy armor and were clearly told that in all subsequent battles, they were not allowed to wear such useless equipment, which had more ritual than practical use, and were instead required to use the recommended symbols to identify themselves.

This requirement was not difficult to implement for the Guards.

Even after actually taking off their armor, most people felt a long-lost sense of relief.

In fact, they had long forgotten the real purpose of wearing armor.

Its protection is insufficient, and its impact on mobility is even more fatal.

But it seems that everyone thinks that wearing armor is a symbol of honor?
After all, this is just a blind pursuit, right?
Only Jin Zhong knew that this armor itself was a poor imitation of the real "mechanical armor" worn by the Chinese army.

Now, since real mechas are already active on the battlefield, the armor on my body is of course meaningless.

This request was promptly implemented.

And then, the second requirement followed.

All the guards were required to lay down their weapons and instead use the Type 75 rifles provided by the Huaxia Army.

At first, everyone was quite resistant to this.

After all, they have become accustomed to the Conqueror rifles in their hands and instinctively resist any unfamiliar weapons.

However, when they truly felt the powerful force of the Type 75 rifle, all their unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

Although this gun is extremely simple and does not have the gorgeous, complicated, and faith-filled decorations of the Conqueror, the metal storm it continuously spews out is its most powerful testimony.

It took a day for the Guards to get used to their new weapons.

On the third day, Chen Jian finally ordered Huang Yu to start tactical training for the Guards.

They have a lot to learn, but there is only one word they really need to remember.

"Three-three system".

Three people form a group, three groups form a combat unit, and three combat units form a larger tactical phalanx.

Cover, attack, maneuver.
Through simple and highly repetitive training, Huang Yu successfully made all the guards understand their duties.

They were not civilians to begin with, and their combat experience quickly made them understand the advancement and power of this tactic. So in a very short period of time, they grasped the essence of the three-three system and quickly began to expand their tactics.

At this point, it is time to strengthen their weapons and firepower.

Chen Jian generously took out a sufficient number of rocket launchers, grenades, and a small number of grenade launchers and handed them over to the Guards Brigade, and began to divide battlefield responsibilities among the soldiers of the Guards Brigade.

Who will attack, who will provide cover, and who will be responsible for the surprise attack and decapitation?
When these duties were tied together with the equipment, the soldiers of the Guards Brigade also felt for the first time the significance of the word "systematization" that Chen Jian repeatedly mentioned.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before they can truly unleash their systematic combat effectiveness.

But as long as the seed is planted, that is enough.

After the fourth day of training, Chen Jian felt that the team had already begun to look somewhat "formidable".

Although the identity of the Guards Brigade and their inner beliefs cannot be erased, at least in terms of appearance, they are not much different from the Chinese Army.

Especially when they lined up and shouted the newly learned commands as they passed in front of the open space, almost no one could tell whether they were the Guards Brigade or the Chinese Army.

This result slightly exceeded Chen Jian's expectations, so he planned to give the team another big surprise.

It just so happened that Shen Yue had mentioned before that he wanted to hold a democratic life meeting and engage in criticism and self-criticism. So Chen Jian invited Jin Zhong and a dozen of his key members to participate in the name of "tactical discussion".

At first, Jin Zhong thought this was really just a "tactical discussion."

But when he saw Chen Jian's men, especially those "grassroots soldier representatives" begin to express critical opinions at the meeting, he was completely dumbfounded.

What shocked him was not what the residents' representatives said.

In fact, most of the suggestions and criticisms made by those people are not sharp, certainly not professional, and even a little ridiculous.

But just the fact of "getting people to speak" was beyond Jin Zhong's understanding.

Discipline and obedience are the cornerstone of the Guards Brigade's existence.

To reinforce this cornerstone, the importance of faith even overwhelms the authority of the commander.

But now, these Chinese troops are actually doing the opposite? ?

If any grassroots soldier can express critical opinions at will, how can this team be managed?

Jin Zhong was extremely confused. He and his men did not say a word that whole night.

And when they left the meeting room somewhat dejectedly, Chen Jian, Shen Yue and others who stayed at the end also had meaningful expressions on their faces.

".How about it, do you think this will be effective?"

Reggie asked.

"It didn't work very well for us - how can it work the first time?"

Chen Jian said with a smile:
"Didn't you listen to what everyone said? You don't even dare to bring up the real idea."

"This scene is really... a little familiar."

"But it doesn't matter. Just open it a few more times. Once you let it go, it will get better slowly."

"The most important thing is that this form still has a great impact on those guard brigades."

"One day in the future, they will suddenly understand that even if it is just a formality, some people are unwilling to give it to them."

"And we will try our best to turn form into substance."

"really."

Shen Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"But then again, do you really think his team has hope?"

"there must be."

Chen Jian smiled mysteriously, then said:
“They’ve had the good stuff.”

"It is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. After eating pork, they can no longer swallow vegetables."
