Chapter 393: Establishing Rules
José ignored the fat man's nonsense, just smiled and looked at Alok and asked, "What do you think of such a decree?"
Yarok pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but nod and said: "Ruthless, but it is also a very effective method! If such a military order continues, the combat effectiveness of this army will definitely be amazing!"
Gould also put away a joking look, frowned and thought for a long time, before he couldn't help but touch his chin and said: "It's just that the overall quality of this new army is not high now, and it doesn't even have any actual combat experience." www.biquge.info Isn't it a little too impatient to put such a decree in the barracks?"
"It's okay, this joint sitting decree can wait until wartime to be announced, but these military orders and joint sitting systems can still be implemented on weekdays. Alok agreed, and then added, "If you are concerned with the discipline of the army, Lord Joseph, then these decrees are indeed very suitable to be implemented.
In particular, this system of joint sitting is very effective in changing this loose military structure, especially the arguments that use the whole to erase individuality and let the whole army establish a 'collective consciousness' coincides with the thinking of those senior generals I followed in the army in the past, and I think this system can be implemented in the army!"
So with the consent of Alok and Gould, these military orders were quickly issued in the army, although these recruits were a little dissatisfied with such rules at first, but after several illegal recruits were punished, most of them had a little more scruples and subconscious obedience. After all, these guys are just some ordinary recruits from the poor background, not as unruly as those soldiers, and they are relatively easy to manage.
As soon as the joint sitting system was implemented, there was a typical case soon: several recruits were caught for stealing alcohol in the barracks, but several people in this squad knew about it, but they did not report it, so they were also punished by sitting together and receiving 20 military sticks. Although in the eyes of these recruits, their colleagues violated military regulations by secretly drinking, but they did not drink secretly, and they even felt that such a whistleblower was a shameful act, so although they were punished, they were not very convinced.
That night, however, while the members of the squad who had been beaten with the baton were lying on their beds humming, Gould was seen leading the lord, Lord Viscount Sadland, to the barracks. This made these recruits a little panicked, thinking that they thought that their indignation had been known by this adult, and now they were going to punish them!
So the squad leader quickly dragged his aching body out of bed, and then bared his teeth in pain and gave a military salute to Joseph. José smiled and asked him to lie down to cultivate, and then squinted his eyes and glanced at the eleven people, before he said lightly: "How is it, everyone, the taste of being beaten with a military stick is not pleasant, right?"
I know that some of you didn't drink, but they didn't report it in time, so they got beaten with a stick, right? I think you will definitely feel aggrieved and even a little dissatisfied in your hearts now. Some of you may think that this military order is too impersonal and unreasonable!
I'm sure some of you will think like this: Although my colleague has secretly drunk and violated military rules, but I am a colleague and friend with him, how can I go to the whistleblower and 'betray' my friend because of the military law?
Or, oh, everyone is a colleague in the army, if I report him this time, he will definitely hate me, maybe next time he will retaliate against me, and go around saying that I am a villain who betrayed my colleagues, so how should I get mixed up in the army in the future? I'm afraid these are the doubts or concerns in the hearts of you people, right?"
When these recruits heard Jose say this, their faces couldn't help but change a little bit, and even the squad leader's face was a little moved, obviously because Jose had said something in his heart.
"Idiot!" Seeing them like this, Joseph couldn't help but scolded directly and unceremoniously: "Do you know how ridiculous your so-called 'righteous anger' and 'face problem' are? In my opinion, these concerns of yours are bullshit! Why, are you not convinced?"
Jose snorted coldly, and then looked directly at the squad leader: "Let me ask you, as the squad leader, why didn't you report to your superiors if you knew that someone in the squad had violated military regulations, and why didn't you report the violators?"
"My lord, I'm ......" The squad leader's face turned red, and then he looked at Jose's fierce gaze, and couldn't help but pluck up his courage and said: "I, I am the captain of everyone, I and these brothers have fled from other counties, although they have violated military regulations, but if I report them, they will be punished with military sticks, so I didn't report it...... My lord, I am willing to bear the punishment for this mistake!"
"You're a real guy, you think of favors!" Jose couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "I won't punish you again for your courage to take responsibility, but do you really think you're defending your brothers by doing this?"
"This is a military camp! Not your hometown! Lao Tzu told you on the first day he recruited you into the private army that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! Do you understand? If everyone is thinking about their personal feelings, and they are not rewarded for their merits, and they are not punished for their mistakes, then what is the use of Lao Tzu formulating these military regulations? Do you think that if you protect them today, you are defending them? Lao Tzu is telling you that you are very wrong!
If you can hide this matter today, what will happen in the future? After you go to the battlefield, can you fight in place of your brothers? If everyone ignores the military orders, then when the enemy kills, can you have a personal relationship with the enemy? Today I tell you, the army is an unreasonable place, and the military orders issued by the generals are the truth, and only the wrong military orders are carried out, and no wrong military orders are issued!"
When Joseph said this, he glanced at everyone present with serious eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "You are a collective, and mistakes are not something you can bear alone. If you make a mistake on the battlefield, then it is the life of all of you as a collective. Remember, from the moment you join the Sadland Army, you are no longer an individual, but a 'collective'! No one cares what your name is, where you come from, whether it is your friend or foe, they will only call you 'Sadland Army'!
So remember to Lao Tzu that you are soldiers, and you are soldiers who obey orders as their duty! Maybe you will be dissatisfied with my decree now, and even hate me a little and question me!
But none of this matters, because when you have been through battles, when you cut off the heads of your enemies on the battlefield and survived, you will naturally be grateful to me!"
