Girls und War

Although the Fifth Island Chain Command of the Eagle Zone issued a retreat order, Cynic Li would obviously not obey so easily.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to do so many things?

It just so happened that Cynic Li's rank had been promoted. Now the regiment was in the front-line command of this area, and except for her, no one else had a rank higher than lieutenant colonel.

Even among lieutenant colonels, she has the longest on-the-spot command time.

Therefore, Cynic Rei is the highest-ranking officer in this area. Even the general is useless.

Unless the Fifth Island Chain Combat Command of the Eagle Zone sends a supervisor to take her back directly.

Otherwise, it would mean that the general was not obeying the military orders while on the battlefield. Cynic Li Lai said that the situation was the most important and he pushed back everything.

The Flower District had lost its core force for island warfare at this time, so it needed the help of the Snow District in everything.

The Snow District naturally understood the principle of "lips and teeth are cold", so it quickly assembled a new round of troops and engaged in a tug-of-war with the invading forces of the Fifth Island Chain and the Eagle District.

The battle was fought alternately. Seeing that she was not going to get any good results, Cynic Li could only reluctantly grit her teeth and lead her troops out of the battle zone and back to the Eagle Zone's control area.

This time, Cynic Li had violated countless combat orders, and she was sure to be severely reprimanded when she returned. However, considering the strategic gains achieved in this operation, it was likely that the punishment would be more of a fuss than action. He raised the stick high, then gently placed it on Cynic Li's buttocks, just as a token of his appreciation.

But there will definitely be good news for the flower district and even the snow district.

That means Cynic Li will not appear on the battlefield at least in the short term.

The bad news is that the flower area has been poorly defended recently and will definitely encounter a lot of harassing attacks.

Under such circumstances, the combat diary of the island chain front would not be very good, and Jingxian would definitely be criticized by the headquarters.

And these criticisms will definitely affect her combat record, and then affect her future military merit rating.

By then, even if she could get the military merit to be promoted to lieutenant general, there would definitely be some twists and turns.

But all this happened a long time ago. Regardless, she was still qualified to command operations.

If a previous mistake had caused heavy losses to the Hua District troops, it would be hard to say whether she could continue to command the operations on the island chain front.

If things go wrong, they may even have to go to military court to be held accountable.

It seems that the trouble that Cynic Li, a lieutenant colonel, has caused to Jingxian is much greater than expected.

However, such a problem did not cause any trouble to Xia Shu and Jiamei.

Because shortly after the Battle of Coconut Island, the two of them received orders to end their temporary shift.

With the return of the colonel in charge of the Combat Command Department, the two of them also ended their command training and withdrew from the imaginary battlefield from the camp flag.

After returning to the real world, Jiamei took Xia Shu to the officers' mess to have a simple meal, and then returned to the regiment office building to report to Xu Ri about the end of his substitute shift.

When the two entered Xu Ri's office, she was processing the personnel change report of the front-line combat troops.

Seeing that Jiamei had returned, Xu Ri breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally you're back. If you hadn't come back, I would have been exhausted to death."

Hearing this, Jiamei laughed and said, "You are now handling the tasks that I used to handle for you every day. How can it be so exhausting?"

"Well, those who are capable should do more work." Asahi said this, he picked up a large pile of documents and put them all in Xia Shu's hands, then said, "Okay, I leave it to you, I'm leaving get off work!"

With that, he ran out of the office.

Xia Shu held a large pile of documents in his hands and turned his head to look at Jiamei.

He shrugged, not knowing what to say, so he took Xia Shu back to his office and got back to work.

So this kind of life repeated for a few days, and Xia Shu, as a dozing secretary, spent some time in the boring daily life of a clerk.

Then the headquarters finally transferred a new clerk lieutenant to Jiamei, freeing Xia Shu from the endless ocean of documents.

After handing over the secretarial work, Xia Shu silently swore in his heart that he would never do clerical work again.

At this time, Jun Ci also sent a message to Xia Shu, saying that the organizational framework of the special forces had been set up and she could come back to do her job.

So he pretended to be asleep and treated Xia Shu to a good meal as a token of his appreciation.

The next day, Xia Shu bid farewell to the front-line combat troops and took a car back to the Hana District Army Headquarters.

Later in Jun Ci's office, Xia Shu met the gentle and elegant clerk sergeant again.

When Jun Ci saw Xia Shu coming back, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.

After the two sat down on the sofa, Jun Ci told Xia Shu about the formation of the special forces.

First of all, according to the young commander's understanding, the special operations forces will be the fourth force independent of the three major forces of the army.

Xia Shu narrowed his eyes. Newly recruited army, ranked fourth? Something was wrong.

However, they did not delve into this issue. Jun Ci went on to explain that, secondly, since it was a newly formed unit, the unit's framework had to be rebuilt.

In addition to the main combat department commanded by Xia Shu, there are also independent management department, logistics department and equipment department.

It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

The logistics and equipment of this new unit will be managed by a trustworthy person appointed by the young commander himself.

In addition, the command authority was given to Xia Shu, but the leadership of the entire department could not be given directly to Xia Shu.

Otherwise, with such a low rank, leading a force that is on par with the three major forces of the army, things might get out of hand.

So the young commander simply handed the command to Qimingxing.

It is equivalent to the Army Headquarters Staff Group and has direct command over this special operations force.

Xia Shu only needs to be responsible to Lieutenant General Qimingxing.

Xia Shu has seen this management model in many independently organized troops, such as guard troops and communications troops.

However, it is difficult to select the management officer for this independent unit.

Xia Shu’s military rank is so low that we cannot choose a management officer who would take the initiative and restrain Xia Shu.

So after much thought, this position was still given to Jiamei.

As for whether taking a nap would lead to death from overwork, that was not within the young commander's consideration.

After all, those who are capable should do more work!

776. The Organization of New Troops

After briefly explaining the organization of Xia Shu's current special operations force, Jun Ci talked to Xia Shu about the current team's composition.

As this discussion progressed, the topic of the organizational restructuring of the Red Dragon Squadron came up.

It seems that the organization of the Red Dragon Squadron is also closely related to the organization of this new force.

Xia Shu had expected this, because no matter how you look at it, pulling out a framework from the Red Dragon Squadron is easier than starting from scratch.

Moreover, she is more familiar with the squadron personnel, so it will be much easier for her to issue orders.

According to Jun Ci, after the new Red Dragon Squadron is restructured, the troop framework under Doragon will become a reserve source of special operations forces.

In other words, if there is a shortage of special forces soldiers, they can be drawn from the Red Dragon Squadron. If the entire army headquarters discovers potential special forces soldiers, they can directly place them in the Red Dragon Squadron for training.

This is much easier than searching for outstanding soldiers in the grassroots troops in the entire flower district like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xia Shu also agreed with this decision.

After Jun Ci gave Xia Shu the list of candidates from various departments of the army, Xia Shu recognized most of them.

Jun Ci then continued, "Tentatively, tomorrow is the first formation meeting for the special forces. I've already notified the relevant personnel from all departments to attend the meeting. So if you have any questions, you can bring them up at the meeting tomorrow and we'll discuss them. It's getting late now, so you should go back to bed early. I'll call you tomorrow."

Xia Shu nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

Jun Ci smiled and didn't seem to take it seriously.

But Xia Shu knew that all this work was done by Jun Ci. She didn't have to put in any effort at all, and the framework was already built.

So Xia Shu was still quite grateful.

Then the two of them left the office separately and ended their work for the day.

The next day, Xia Shu was called up by Jun Ci again and took a car to the designated special forces camp address.

The young commander has now planned a new training camp near the front-line combat troops.

However, the address has just been approved and construction has not yet officially started.

Therefore, the current camp is tentatively planned to remain within the management area of ​​the front-line combat troops, right next to the original Red Dragon Squadron.

But this new force is self-managed and is not under the control of the front-line combat troops.

So no matter how Xia Shu arranges the training life in the camp, it has nothing to do with Xu Ri.

After arriving at the camp, Xia Shu saw many familiar faces there.

They were all veterans from the former Red Dragon Squadron, who were assigned to help.

After Xia Shu chatted with them for a few minutes, Jun Ci called him and led him into the camp's large conference room.

Many people were already waiting in the conference room. When Xia Shu came in, Jun Ci nodded at the heads to confirm that everyone was present. He then made a brief introduction and named the officers' positions in the new unit.

Xia Shu already knew many of the people here, so he would just briefly introduce the unfamiliar faces.

First, he was a member of the management department, and now he is listed under the name of the fake sleeper.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Jiamei is currently serving as the general manager of both frontline combat units and special operations forces.

This job doesn't look easy at first glance, because Xia Shu and Xu Ri are similar. If they have to go on a mission, they will definitely not have time to take care of external administrative issues.

It's like one person has to do the work of four people while pretending to sleep. It's scary to think about it.

But she didn't have any objection, she just smiled and didn't complain at all.

In the management department, the person in charge of liaising with Xia Shu is Lieutenant Hua.

Lieutenant Hua was the permanent administrative officer stationed at the camp, so Xia Shu could talk to her about any issues. It also seemed that Lieutenant Hua was also responsible for some of the Red Dragon Squadron's administrative duties. This was likely an arrangement made by the Junior Commander.

At the same time, the management department also has a deputy sergeant who provides administrative assistance to Xia Shu.

Xia Shu was also familiar with this person. She was Miss Fafner, who had just been promoted to Sergeant Major not long ago.

The two of them had a good foundation for cooperation during their time in military school, and I believe this candidate has also been carefully studied by the young commander's staff.

And most of the candidates in the conference room have undergone such research.

For example, the next department is the Equipment Department.

The equipment of special operations forces will inevitably be carefully classified and customized in the future, so it will definitely be related to the equipment research and development department.

The R&D department's leading colonel, Chu Ziqi, was also present today, becoming the highest-ranking officer present.

The two parties will definitely have a lot of cooperation in the future, and Xia Shu had a relatively pleasant experience with the previous cooperation, so he was also very good towards Colonel Chu Ziqi.

In addition, Ms. VV is also stationed at the camp as the liaison with the R&D department. If you have any equipment requirements, just ask her directly.

As for the equipment management of the special forces, the logistics equipment warehouse has set aside a small warehouse for them to store their weapons separately.

In other words, strictly speaking, the equipment management of the special forces does not belong to the logistics headquarters and the equipment headquarters, but is solely under their own responsibility.

The person managing the equipment was also an old acquaintance, Lieutenant Wu, so she was also present today.

As for the officer who was in contact with the logistics headquarters, his name was Yuhuatai, and Xia Shu was not very familiar with him.

However, Xia Shu had met the logistics officer who stayed in the camp.

That was Lieutenant Yuankong, whom I had met once before at a veteran's funeral.

Lieutenant Xia Shu still remembered her. Yuan Kong had never imagined that when they met again, the former private soldier would be on the same level. The world was truly strange.

In this way, the overall framework of the troops was determined.

Xia Shu will be in charge of the entire new unit's operational command. Although Lieutenant General Qimingxing is nominally the unit's leader, she will likely only issue orders and not intervene in actual combat.

The internal affairs management of the army is all assisted by Jiamei, and Xia Shu only needs to be a hands-off boss.

As for logistics, this thing is really not that troublesome.

Because their troops are not large, the logistical resources they need, whether on or off the battlefield, are limited.

The logistics headquarters never takes anything below the regimental level seriously and basically gives whatever is asked for.

The Equipment Department, on the other hand, deals more with the R&D Department because it deals with expensive high-tech equipment.

However, with the young commander's support, the per capita equipment expenditure is still guaranteed.

Not to mention Xia Shu's quote of three million for a single soldier, a special forces soldier should be quoted hundreds of thousands, right?
