130: Military structure and staffing

“Dawn Army?” Qin Zhong trembled upon hearing this. He was a soldier before, and he had a special affection for the army.

“That’s right, we’re going to establish our own army and fulfill our own mission.” Pan Han suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the group.

“This battle has shown us the strongest organization in this city. What are they? In my opinion, they’re nothing but trash!” Pan Han began to vehemently criticize Z Tower.

“Everyone, think about what they’ve done? Live streaming eating Rabbit, using children as suicide squads! I believe other organizations are just as bad.”

“That’s right, Commander. Any organization worth mentioning is pretty much like that.” Reich recalled that he had killed many people on his journey, but he believed he still had a bottom line.

“Very good, but everyone, think about one question: are we only going to eliminate Z Tower?” Pan Han suddenly changed the subject, leaving everyone a bit confused.

“No, Commander, there’s also the next city, and the entire state, and finally the organizations across the country.” The Third Brother raised his hand to answer.

“I think all such organizations in the world should be eliminated.” The Fifth Brother, sitting in a wheelchair, offered his opinion.

“Sixth Brother, what do you think?” Pan Han listened, noncommittal.

“Commander, I think, whoever you say to kill, we’ll kill.”

Hahaha! Everyone burst into laughter after hearing that.

Pan Han also pursed his lips and chuckled, the Sixth Brother’s personality was exactly like Li Kui!

“What everyone said is both right and wrong! In the short term, we do need to eliminate Z Tower. But in the long term, what we need to eliminate is the soil that produces Z Tower!”

“Commander, who doesn’t want to stay home with their wife and children by a warm kang?”

“Yeah, if it weren’t for this damned world, I’d definitely be an entrepreneur now.” The Sixth Brother suddenly realized, recalling his dream from third grade.

“Hmm. I had thought about forming an army before. But my ideas weren’t mature then. Now I can boldly say it, our Dawn Army is here to save all of humanity!” Pan Han clasped his hands tightly, his eyes burning, his emotions fervent, and he found a chair to stand on.

He looked down from above, and everyone bowed in reverence, their eyes slightly red.

“Before us, there are two paths. One is success, and one is failure! But failure does not belong to the Dawn Army!” Pan Han put one hand in his pocket and waved the other in the air.

Applause erupted, and everyone was moved by his words, as if they saw an infinitely bright future.

“As the ancients said, with great power comes great responsibility! But in this world, scumbags like Li Qinglong abuse their power as Evolvers and trample on the lives of others. Such people are not worthy of possessing Evolver abilities. Our army will never tolerate the existence of such people in the future.” Pan Han continued his speech.

Another round of enthusiastic applause.

“Next, I will talk about the initial plan for the army.” Pan Han adjusted his mood and stepped down from the chair.

“Our base now only has about 1,000 people left. We’ll temporarily organize them into one regiment, and I will serve as Commander. The First Battalion will be led by Battalion Commander Qin, the Second Battalion by the Third Brother and the Fourth Brother as chief and deputy Company Commander, and the Third Battalion by Reich as Company Commander. Additionally, a Special Operations Squadron will be established, led by the Fifth Brother.” Pan Han quickly outlined the general framework.

Qin Zhong and others immediately stood up: “We swear to follow Commander Pan to the death.”

“Please be seated, officers.” Pan Han waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

“Commander, what about me?” The Sixth Brother, seeing that his elder brothers all had arrangements, was a bit anxious.

“Sixth Brother, how can you be so undisciplined? Commander Pan has his own arrangements, if you don’t like it, go stand guard outside!” Qin Zhong was a bit angry, glaring fiercely at the Sixth Brother.

“Sixth Brother, I haven’t finished yet. Next, we will also rebuild the Mountain Top Rabbit Squadron. In the future, we will continue to expand, striving to have other species squadrons. Mountain Top Rabbit, this task is entrusted to you.” Pan Han said gently, stroking the Rabbit’s head.

“Chirp!” The Mountain Top Rabbit was teary-eyed.

“Sixth Brother, it’s your turn now.” Pan Han shifted his gaze to the Sixth Brother.

The Sixth Brother listened and looked at Pan Han with a grin.

“You used to manage a sub-base, and I originally wanted you to be a Company Commander. However, your personality is quite straightforward, so I’ve arranged a more suitable position for you.”

“Commander, please tell me.”

“You will serve as the Squadron Leader of the Military Police Squadron.”

“Ah? I’m going to be the Military Police Leader?” This decision was somewhat beyond everyone’s expectations, and the Sixth Brother was also bewildered.

“That’s right. When the time comes, you will arrest people according to military regulations, without showing anyone any favoritism.”

“Ah? Commander, aren’t you making me offend people?” The Sixth Brother, hearing that he wasn’t going to be charging into battle but rather enforcing discipline, immediately pouted.

“Damn it, Sixth Brother, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t I tell you to obey orders?” Qin Zhong, being a military man, could not tolerate soldiers who didn’t follow orders the most.

“Battalion Commander Qin, it’s fine.” Pan Han stopped Qin Zhong’s anger.

“Sixth Brother, think about it. Precisely because you are straightforward, everyone trusts you. If you handle this, you won’t offend people.” After hearing Pan Han’s reasoning, everyone was convinced. If a more slick person were to handle it, everyone might save face, but in the long run, discipline would be abandoned.

“Yes, Commander, I obey orders.” The Sixth Brother also lost his temper and accepted it obediently.

“Second Sister, you are responsible for logistics, setting up the Joint Logistics Support Squadron. You will be in charge of supplies, food, ammunition, medical care, and so on. It’s a huge responsibility!”

“Yes, Commander! I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!” The Second Sister’s eyes were fervent. Everyone knew the importance of the logistics department; warfare was all about logistics.

“Cheng Xiao, you will primarily liaise with me and be responsible for the headquarters’ administrative work.”

“Yes, Commander!” Cheng Xiao didn’t care what she did as long as she could stay by Pan Han’s side.

“Wei Monk, you will be responsible for the future recruitment and overall training of new recruits. All new enlistees must undergo three months of intensive training with you. If any battalions or squadrons return recruits to you, I will hold you accountable!”

“Don’t worry, Commander! I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!” Wei Monk was incredibly excited to hear that he would be in charge of all new recruits. He had learned many skills and was eager to put them to use.

“Good, the basic structure of the Dawn Army is set. Right now, we’re only one regiment, but we need to quickly develop into a division, and then an army.” Pan Han envisioned the future, tears welling up in his eyes.

His entire life, except for the college entrance examination, had been muddled and ordinary.

He hadn’t read much, hadn’t earned much money, hadn’t become a good person, nor had he done anything bad.

Now, by a strange twist of fate, a group of people were willing to follow him to accomplish a great cause, and he still couldn’t control his emotions!

“Long live the Dawn Army!” Qin Zhong led the shouting of the slogan, and others responded one after another.

They chanted for a full minute before the enthusiasm in everyone’s hearts gradually subsided.

“What do you all think we should do immediately?” Pan Han signaled everyone to stop.

No one thought of anything for a moment, only Cheng Xiao raised her hand: “Commander, we should first mourn our heroes.”

“That’s right!” Pan Han cast an appreciative glance, worthy of being his personal secretary, always so steady!

“We’ve lost so many comrades! We need to build a Martyrs’ Park. Let everyone properly commemorate them.” Pan Han continued to explain.

“Oh, Commander. What about Li Qinglong and the others?” Reich suddenly remembered that he still had a group of Z Tower people imprisoned.

“Use them for the flag ceremony!” Pan Han wanted to maximize the use of Li Qinglong.
