Lunch was eaten in the officers' mess, and the person dining with Gao Yuan was at least a school officer.

As for lieutenants, there are more.

It has become a tradition to discuss things at the dinner table, so Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu were the mascots visited, but here at Xiang Weiguo, there was something to discuss.

"Brigadier Wang, I want to know one thing, that is, are all the young adults in the shelter just sitting idle? Have they not been organized to do something?"

Wang Hu also looked very solemn. He said in a deep voice: "There is no order from you in this regard yet. Our task is to protect all survivors. At most, we can select some volunteers from the survivors to help us do some things."

daily work."

"What about the original local government? What about the civil servants? Why not let the former civil servants continue to work?"

Wang Hu sighed and said: "When a disaster strikes, many government staff are on the front line and suffer heavy casualties. It is no longer possible to have a mature and complete civil service team as before, but what about the volunteers?

, it is true that most of them are civil servants, but now we are no longer distinguished from our identities before the disaster."

After finishing speaking, Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "It would be more troublesome if the separation of military and government was still the same as before. What it means now is that the personnel of the government will temporarily put aside their status, and anyone who is willing to take on some work can

They work as volunteers, but most of the volunteers are civil servants from governments at all levels."

Xiang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then, have you considered allowing ordinary people to receive military training and take on part of the defense work?"

"You mean to let ordinary people shoulder part of the military responsibilities?"

He nodded to Weiguo.

Wang Hu and the others present looked at each other, and then Wang Hu shook his head and said: "This won't work. There is no order from above. We must not act rashly and let the common people bear the responsibilities of soldiers. The nature of this has changed."

Xiang Weiguo sighed and said: "When has this happened? To protect our country, no, now it is to protect mankind's own destiny. Everyone needs to take responsibility."

"But we cannot expand the army without authorization. The recruitment and expansion of the army cannot be decided by ourselves. This matter is too big. I understand what you mean, but we cannot decide by ourselves."

Xiang Weiguo looked at the people present solemnly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Now that there are many people here, I will mention it here. What I propose is to recruit volunteers from the common people to receive military training. They are not soldiers.

, not even militiamen, just ordinary people."

Wang Hu nodded and said: "I understand, I believe many people are willing to do this, but..."

"How many military personnel are in our shelters!"

Wang Hu said without hesitation: "4956 people."

"Where's the first one?"

"It's almost the same size."

Xiang Weiguo said in a deep voice: "Everyone, think about it, what time is it now? We can't wait for orders from above before taking action."

Pointing in the direction of the city, he said in a deep voice to Wei Guo: "How many soldiers are there in our shelter? Round up to five thousand, how many zombies are there in the city? A conservative estimate is one million, only a lot more, just two

Is it possible for the 10,000 people in the shelter to clear out the zombies in the city? This is no longer a matter of time, it is simply impossible."

Wang Hu's face was very serious and ugly. He whispered: "Chief..."

Xiang Weiguo waved his hand and said: "Stop calling me chief, call me Lao Xiang. Now, I am here to discuss with you both as a veteran and as a civilian."

The military is different from other places and different from any organization.

The army has military rules. A senior colonel is a senior colonel and a colonel is a colonel.

But this time Wang Hu did not adhere to military etiquette, and he immediately changed his tune.

"Lao Xiang, it's too early to think about taking back the city."

Why did Wang Hu change his tune?

Because of some scruples, it would be beneficial to weaken Xiang Weiguo's military character.

Doesn't Wang Hu know that there is strength in numbers? Doesn't he know that there are many young and middle-aged people in the shelter with nothing to do? Of course he knows, but due to his status, there are some things he can't do.

Xiang Weiguo stared at Wang Hu and said, "Do you really think so? Do you, the Armored Tiger, really think so?"

Wang Hu shook his head and said: "It is indeed too early to recover the city now, but... we should really make preparations to recover the city."

Xiang Weiguo whispered: "Then let's let our shelter start this way? We won't rush in, but why can't we let the survivors voluntarily sign up and, after a certain degree of training, cooperate with the troops to do some auxiliary work?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Gao Yuan to Wei Guo and said, "He has never been a soldier, but he has practiced for three months and can now do a lot of work. Why can't other young people do the same?"

Putting his hands on the table, Wang Husi looked at Xiang Weiguo and said: "Okay! Now is not the time to hesitate. Let's do it. Lao Xiang, you will recruit young people as volunteers to form a team, and I will leave the training to them."

is you."

He is not a coy person, let alone the current situation. As long as there is the right person to do this, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Xiang Weiguo also said unceremoniously: "I promise to complete the mission!"

Wang Hu immediately said: "Through our observations over the past few months, we have found that in fact, the best way to deal with zombies is to use cold weapons instead of guns. It is best to use machine guns when defending, but zombies have one characteristic.

When you hear the sound, you will get closer, so as long as you shoot, the nearby zombies will rush over."

"I've dealt with zombies before, and using a gun is really not a good choice. As long as the zombies don't lose their ability to move immediately, they still pose a huge threat."

Wang Hu became more energetic, and he continued: "Yes, through repeated exploration, we found that the search and advancement of a five-person combat team using cold weapons and remaining silent throughout the entire process is the most efficient. At least two people use shields, and two people use shields.

One person uses a weapon such as a long knife, and one person uses a short weapon such as a hammer or axe. This combination is very useful in rural areas, but it will not work in the city. If there are too many losses, no matter how many people use what weapons, once

Surrounded..."

Needless to say, once you are surrounded, you will die.

Xiang Weiguo said in a deep voice: "A five-man team? Okay, using cold weapons is my strength. We specialize in training some five-man combat teams. If we have enough people and work slowly and carefully, sooner or later we can conquer the city."

Clean up the zombies in there."

Wang Hu was a little excited and said: "I plan to start the work of resuming production after the spring. We need people to farm the land and grow vegetables. We can't just sit back and have nothing. But now it seems that if we can train all the qualified people, let them

Being able to work and fight when necessary will be much more beneficial to our future survival."

Xiang Weiguo was also a little excited. He whispered: "These are all things that must be done, and the superiors will definitely make such arrangements. Otherwise, self-rescue is simply an empty talk."

Even if this matter is settled, there will be no objections, because this matter was not discussed.

Xiang Weiguo picked up the chopsticks again and said calmly: "I will start working on this in the afternoon."

Wang Hu looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Then I will arrange a place for you. I can't let you live in a temporary house."

Xiang Weiguo also looked at Gao Yuan, then he shook his head and said: "Treat everyone equally, he must be a soldier under my command, no, a volunteer, but his starting point is the same as others, I can't give them special care.

"

Wang Hu seemed a little worried. He frowned and said, "Take it easy, this is a baby, you have to pay attention to his safety."

Xiang Weiguo refused to give Gao Yuan special treatment because he had confidence in Gao Yuan.

He tapped Gao Yuan with his chopsticks and smiled at Wei Guo: "If you embarrass me, I will beat you to death!"

Gao Yuan was speechless, feeling that his unlucky days were coming again.

"Xiaoyu..."

As soon as Gao Yuan said something, Wang Hu said loudly: "Xiao Yu, she has a task, so she should work in the telecommunications room."

Luo Xingyu immediately said: "I don't! I want to be with him! I also want to participate... What is the name of your team?"

"Let's not talk about the name. Anyway, there won't be any women in the first batch, so you can just stay in the telecommunications room with peace of mind."

Xiang Weiguo dismissed Luo Xingyu's thoughts without hesitation.

Luo Xingyu was waiting to say more, but Gao Yuan said with a serious face: "Follow the arrangements, why are there so many things?"

Luo Xingyu pouted, and she was about to cry. Although she didn't say anything in the end, she still put the chopsticks aside.

Many people felt distressed, but Gao Yuan could only surrender and sighed in a low voice: "Don't you know I will be worried about you? You will stay in the telecommunications room for now and be obedient."

Luo Xingyu nodded with an aggrieved look.

Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xiang Weiguo: "Let's do an experiment first. Let's recruit a hundred people in the first batch. How about it?"

Xiang Weiguo frowned and said: "It's too conservative. There are 200,000 people here, at least 150,000 young adults. I think we should recruit 500 people in the first batch. We will see the effect first, and then expand the number if it is good."

"Well, five hundred people are five hundred people. We still need to practice with guns. We still have plenty of weapons. We can start live-fire shooting training, but we can't waste bullets too much. We tentatively reserve twenty rounds of training ammunition for each person. And

, we must teach how to operate a general-purpose machine gun. We have been training machine gunners, because machine guns are still the best to use. If something happens, I hope everyone at least knows how to use a machine gun."

"Off-the-job training?"

"There is no production activity in the first place. Of course it is off-the-job training. We can strengthen the food."

Xiang Weiguo had already discussed the specific details with Wang Hu. They talked quickly because they had both thought deeply about this matter for a long time, and now it was time to talk it over and confirm it.

So, Gao Yuan knew that his identity was about to change. Whether he wanted to or not, he would soon become a... volunteer in this shelter?
