Chapter 262: The Power of the Masses
Drifting away, the secular rulers are waiting, watching. For the unusually dispersed "Navy SEALs", this is not a good thing. Because, what they need now is precious respite. As long as these people don't make trouble, they can calmly select a large number of trustworthy people from the huge opposition of the Church of Light, and with a little training, these people can replace the "Navy SEALs" as local garrisons to maintain order everywhere.
Under the coordination of Merstal and Camille, the work was carried out in full swing and in an orderly manner. Within a month, the local garrison was already taking shape, and two months later, all SEAL members were freed from local affairs. This was followed by the special training of the "Navy SEALs". The "Navy SEALs" have always been mainly engaged in sea exercises, and now that they have penetrated into the interior, it is necessary to strengthen land exercises. For long-range troops, whether at sea or on land, the change is not too great. But the change in melee forces is very significant. When it comes to land, the attack and defense no longer rely on sea ships. The first thing they had to adapt to was horse warfare, and then the attack and defense of the city walls, and so on.
During the SEALs' intense land drills, Merstal and Camille also arranged for people to select elites from local garrisons, and then placed them in the SEALs for special training. Strong pressure and scientific training methods maximize the potential of these elites. They are growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. After a period of special training, these people were gathered together for assessment, and those with excellent grades directly entered the "Navy SEALs," and those with average grades were sent to local garrisons to serve as instructors.
When they came to the local troops, they felt a huge gap. The training of the "Navy SEALs" is hard, but the treatment is unparalleled. And as an elite unit, the "Navy SEALs" have many privileges that local forces cannot have. Being a member of the Navy SEALs is a great honor in itself. Therefore, if you are lucky enough to join the "Navy SEALs", it will definitely be fame and fortune.
Since the first batch of instructors were sent to the local troops, they have not only brought scientific training methods to them, but also set off an unprecedented wave of cultivation. Almost everyone has set the highest goal of joining the "Navy SEALs", and no matter how bad they are, they want to be the "instructors" of the local troops. Because, although the "instructors" of the local troops cannot be compared with the treatment of the "Navy SEALs", they are definitely the best among the local troops. Moreover, they are respected and loved by all the people of the local troops. It can be said that no one else, except for the officially appointed supreme commander of the local troops, can compare with the "instructor". Although the decentralized "instructors" were annoyed that they could not enter the elite troops, they could be regarded as fame and fortune in the local troops. But whether you want to become a "Navy SEAL" member or a star-studded "instructor," the first step is to stand out from the local army and become an elite among the local troops. Otherwise, nothing can be done.
From the very beginning, the secular rulers were aware of the drawbacks of this newly rising power, which was seriously underarmed. This discovery further strengthened their mindset of waiting and seeing. Politicians always put their interests first, and all they think about all day long is how to get the most political benefits with the least investment. They are not very optimistic about the "Navy SEALs", and in such a situation, it is almost impossible to get these politicians to support the "Navy SEALs".
The "Navy SEALs" did not seem to express any dissatisfaction with their waiting, and were completely resigned to their posture. This has strengthened the "wait-and-see" mentality of these politicians. "The agency was too clever to calculate, and it cost Qingqing's life." It is precisely because they want to be opportunistic that they have lost the best opportunity to show favor to the overlord who will soon dominate the world. As the saying goes: The icing on the cake is better than the charcoal in the snow! When you need your support the most, you don't make a move; then in the future, even if you want to make a move, people may not accept it, and even if you do, they may not appreciate it.
Watchful politicians are keeping an eye on the moves of this emerging force. From the phenomenon of joining the army from all over the world, they also realized the unpopularity of the Church of Light and themselves. But how can these elites, who have always been high above the top, realize the enormity of the power of the masses? What they value is strength, and only a strong enough force can arouse their interest in cooperation. In their opinion, as long as there is enough strength, the ordinary people who are ruled can only endure it no matter how dissatisfied they are. As a result, few of the secular rulers of the entire Western Earth Continent would pay attention to the lower classes.
Although he is not a politician, he has crossed over from a highly civilized world and knows that the power of the masses is the most potential. Therefore, under his influence, after Meestal and Camille took control of the southwestern continent, they followed a completely mass line. As the saying goes: cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. The demands of the masses are very simple, if you treat him as a human being and respect him, he will follow you with all his heart. Soon, the local forces swelled at a geometric rate.
The reason why the power of the masses is huge is that its base is the largest. With such a large number of them, through layers of screening and elimination, the rest are all extremely talented in cultivation. These people are no less than those geniuses who think they have inherited noble bloodlines. And most importantly, because of their poor origins, these people are often more able to endure hardships than those of aristocratic geniuses. True genius depends not only on talent, but more important than talent is hard work. Without a lot of blood and sweat, no matter how high the talent is, it can't be transformed into real strength.
The advantage of drifting without a trace is that you have a wealth of knowledge that has been accumulated over a long period of time in the world. This is an advantage that no one in the world he is in now has in it. He wanted to save the world, but he came to the wrong place by mistake, so he had a plan to try it in this world first. It's a pity that he has come from the East to the West, and he has never been able to find enough key figures to influence the whole world. In the library of Clarence College, when he was looking up about religion, he had the idea of helping Ni Ping'er's dark church replace the position of the Church of Light.
