Chapter 168: Xiuqing pretends to be a ghost
Seeing Luther and the other military herdsmen pretending to perform military salutes very similarly, Mai Ke vomited in his heart: "This must be the eldest brother Zhang Yuan's tricks." ”
Isn't this the military salute of the special forces unit where Mai Ke first belonged? How did these old beauties also follow the local customs?
At the same time, he naturally made a more standard return gift: "Everyone has worked hard!"
Luther then ordered the military pastor company to follow the military advisor to their respective positions. Then, when they came to Mai Ke, the two came to a bear hug, gave each other a punch, and chatted with a couple of words, "How have you been lately, how have you been recently" or something, so what should you do.
Mai Ke officially introduced Luther to Yang Xiuqing, saying that this was the chief military pastor of the army of the Worship of God, and that he was here to implement the agreement reached yesterday and prevent this army from deviating from the right path of faith. Therefore, a lot of understanding and cooperation is required.
Yang Xiuqing agreed, but her expression seemed reluctant. Mai Ke didn't pay much attention to it, so he took Luther to see the army's drills. Yang Xiuqing excused himself and did not go with him.
Taking this opportunity, Luther reported to Mai Ke on the way about the configuration of the military priest. Up to now, each company has a full-time chaplain who is at the same level as the company commander, who is subordinate to the chaplain in matters of faith and to the company commander in military matters. Other matters will be resolved through negotiation between the two. If there is no agreement, a lot is drawn as is the case in the Bible, that is, it is up to God to decide.
In battalion-level units, a chaplaincy group is set up. The group leader and the battalion commander are at the same level. The principle and method of division of labor are the same as those of the company ranks. The group members include the full-time pastors of each company.
There are no full-time pastors below the company level, but each platoon has a liaison officer. This liaison is not a full-time pastor, but he must be a mature Christian who has the authority to decide where to go when it comes to faith. Militarily under the command of the platoon commander. His job title is also the same level as the platoon commander.
At the lowest level of the military organization, the squad, there is also a part-time person in charge of the faith, who directly serves all the members of the class, especially in the area of faith. He has the same title as the class leader and decides on matters of faith for the whole class.
In this way, about one-twelfth of the entire establishment of the Heavenly Army is a military pastoral staff, especially below the battalion level, which is basically allocated according to this ratio.
At the regimental level, in addition to having a special regimental-level military pastor, which is equivalent to the regimental commander, there is also a special military pastoral team, which is responsible for the prayer, propaganda, and teaching of the entire regiment. The size is about what a platoon looks like.
Speaking of this, Luther made a point of explaining that the military pastoral company he brought with him today was prepared according to the needs of a reinforced regiment. These people, like those who remained in the Navy Army, were both civil and military. That is, people with firm beliefs and strong martial arts. As military pastors, their duty is to be a pastor who teaches the warriors in the Bible when they are not at war, and an officer who commands the warriors when they are in war.
Mai Ke asked curiously, "Where did you find these people?"
Luther laughed: "Mai Ke, why do you ask such a question? The standard answer is that they were all raised and sent by God; specifically, they were all made by us in the last big meeting, when we preached the gospel together and decided to believe in the Lord. They were certainly the best of them and stood out in the subsequent pre-baptismal education. ”
"Hey, I ask you, have they all been baptized?" Mai Ke knew about this pre-baptismal education, but did not follow the following procedure.
"Not yet. Gavin said, "Wait for your convenience to have a solemn ceremony to give a good testimony to the glory of God." ”
At this time, the two had already arrived at the training ground. I saw three thousand five hundred soldiers divided into four teams, standing there solemnly, without a sound. The military herdsmen had also been assigned and stood with their own teams, and according to the custom of the heavenly armies, they were on the left side of the line, and the military leaders were on the right.
In addition to Luther's temporary acting regiment-level military pastor, the regiment-level leaders of this regimental training are four people, namely regiment commander Li Kaifang, deputy regiment commander Lin Fengxiang, military advisor Yang Xiutian, and military pastor Luther. The four of them looked at Mai Ke together and asked him to speak.
Mai Ke smiled bitterly in his heart, this set was his least favorite. However, as a priest, and especially as the leader of this crossing team with a special mission, this is a great opportunity to fight for unity. So he took two steps forward and spoke loudly to the soldiers.
"Brothers, I know that you are participating in the regimental training to get double salaries, or to get promoted and make a fortune. But what you don't know is that it's a very small goal. Our contingent wants to become a heavenly army, and the purpose is to establish a heavenly kingdom! To achieve this goal, we must have correct faith. If you don't have the right faith, not only will you not be able to build a kingdom of heaven, you won't even be able to get a double salary, but your family will be ruined. You know that?"
The more than 3,000 soldiers below basically didn't know this truth, it turned out that Yang Xiuqing and they also planned to reveal it to these soldiers when they pulled the flag and rebelled. If there is no such faith education, such a strategy is not impossible, but it is obviously not possible now, and it is not possible to build the foundation of the faith without telling everyone what the purpose is.
Originally, the usual training of these soldiers was an affirmative answer to some simple questions, in order to increase their momentum. But Mai Ke's question made them a little confused. Say they don't know, it's not in line with their usual practice, and if they know, it's more in line with their usual practice, but they really don't know.
So the answer is messed up. Someone would casually reply, "Yes," but the brothers on the side all looked at him strangely, and the gaze obviously said, "This guy is usually the stupidest, why did he suddenly become smarter today?"
Most of the others answered "I don't know", but they came first. Because the cautious person thought back and forth a few times before confirming that he really didn't know.
Mai Ke wanted this effect, and then said loudly: "I know you don't know, so I specially sent these military pastors to teach you." They are all dedicated to this and can answer your questions of faith. Now they are on your left. Please say hello to your military herdsmen and get to know each other!"
Then the soldiers looked curiously at the newcomers standing on the left, and suddenly they realized that these people were priests. These military pastors also greeted their gospel objects one after another, and they lived and died together in the future.
As soon as the silence was restored here, suddenly a member of the Yang family ran over, and before they reached the training ground, they shouted loudly: "Come on! The head of the family is suddenly possessed by Heavenly Father!"
