Chapter 80, Ideological Construction
More than 7,000 soldiers were disarmed and put under centralized custody, but that didn't mean the matter was over.
Are there still cults and heretics among them? Could there be any cultists who were not exposed in the operation against Gu Hang just now?
It's quite possible.
The Sisters of War are in charge of this work. Unlike the undead birds, who had already been idle after the battle, the nuns of the Holy Lily became busier.
They began to look for the existence of hidden cult elements throughout the army. Under the eyes of the Holy Lily, the heretical cult could not be hidden, and was quickly screened out, its identity revealed, and executed in public.
Their behavior not only did not cause a backlash from the soldiers, but further helped Gu Hang.
The reputation of the original Angry Owl Sect was not good, and when the soldiers found out that there were many heretics around them, they were actually angry. From this, they will think, is this the former commander-in-chief deliberately conniving? Do you want to continue to oppose the Governor with those cult traitors?
That's definitely not going to happen.
In other words, it gave the soldiers another reason to convince themselves of the decision to surrender.
At the same time, the Holy Lilies were also preaching, instilling in the hearts of the soldiers the teachings of the state religion, faith in the emperor, and loyalty to the empire.
Their strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the previous bloody battles; And now, they're showing kindness. They will have a gentle smile on their faces, and their bodies will shine with the light of divinity.
And the belief in the emperor who has ascended to become a god is the most common belief in the entire human empire, even in the angry star. In addition to fighting the cults, carrying the prestige of the victors, and the confusion of the soldiers after the defeat, their missionary effect was quite good.
The Holy Lilies did not do this specifically to help Gu Hang.
Is there any other reason for the nuns to preach?
As for objectively helping Gu Hang, the governor of the planet as the spokesperson of the empire's rule, to strengthen the loyalty of the soldiers, it was an unexpected joy.
And when the battle nuns were busy, Gu Hang was not idle.
In the prisoner-of-war camp, he met with all the military commanders at and above the battalion and regimental level who were still alive, and talked with each of them for a while.
After completing the individual meeting, he also convened all the military commanders above the company level and held a closed-door meeting.
During the conversation, Gu Hang listened a lot and said a lot.
He knew the confusion, demands, and confusion of the soldiers, and he gave many firm answers.
Gu Hang did not come to destroy Fuxing City, on the contrary, he came to build the city; Loyalty to the empire is the duty of every soldier, they will be able to get more merit on the battlefield, they will fight for a better tomorrow for themselves, for their families, and for their homeland to rebuild this world.
Of course, these things are very empty to say. But Gu Hang also talked about a lot of practical things:
In Fuxing City, the treatment of these alliance regular troops is not bad, and Gu Hang can ensure that their material ratio will only be higher than in the past, and the same is true for the officers;
In the future, the army will expand, and officers who perform well are likely to have more opportunities for promotion;
The army will be given more attention, and better equipment will be assigned to the army;
All family members of soldiers and officers will receive corresponding subsidies according to their military ranks;
In the event of a casualty, the bereavement rate will be higher than before......
Spiritual and material, on both levels, Gu Hang has given these middle- and grass-roots officers a guarantee.
One by one, the officers patted their chests and assured the Governor that they had been deceived in the past, and that they now understood that allegiance to the Governor was the only way to go.
After chatting on the whole, it was about the pleasure of the guest of honor.
Of course, Gu Hang was not naΓ―ve.
If people pat their chests and say what they say, they can believe it all? Can you use it as your own right away?
That's obviously unrealistic.
For example, it is impossible for Gu Hang to let these alliance soldiers take on the task of blockading the city now.
If this is the case, a bunch of powerful people in the city who are familiar with the officers will make friends and pay bribes...... I'm afraid I don't know how many people will run away by then.
In the current situation, those veteran oils, those officers who are mixed in with the political bureau of Fuxing City, it would be too stupid not to say some beautiful things.
But Gu Hang didn't care.
Put the attitude out, and that's fine.
Later, Gu Hang had a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army and improve his control over the army.
He will really follow his promise and not fool people. When a soldier eats food and gives everything he promised to give, he can have basic loyalty; The building of spiritual civilization should be further strengthened. In this regard, Gu Hang intends to adopt some special methods.
He will draw a large number of men from the six infantry battalions he has built to conduct special training. He would invite the Battle Nuns and Space Marines and give them lessons.
After they finish the class, Gu Hang will go to the class in person.
It is not a special military training, but the cultivation of ideological consciousness. Loyalty to the Empire, faith in the Emperor of God, these need to be further emphasized. Gu Hang, on the other hand, needs to bind things such as loyalty, honor, and faith with himself.
There's nothing wrong with that, logically it is.
You believe in the Emperor and are loyal to the Empire, but the Governor is the Governor-General appointed by the Empire, the one who rules on behalf of the Emperor in the Angry Owl. To be loyal to the emperor is to be loyal to the governor.
There's nothing wrong with that.
However, these jobs of stuffing smuggled goods will not bother the immortal birds and the Holy Ci Lily, Gu Hang will do it himself if he works hard.
And these people who have been trained will all be placed in the officers of all levels of the Alliance Legion.
It is not to seize power and become a military commander, but to do the work of a political commissar.
Their duty was to disseminate the idea of loyalty to the governor to the whole army, and to examine the actions of the military commanders. If there are traces of disloyalty among officers, the commissar will report it to the higher authorities for action; In wartime or other emergencies, the commissar could even execute the military commander and take over the command of the troops.
In the regular army of the Empire, there were similar positions.
But what Gu Hang has to do is to go further.
Build the commissar on the company!
Build the army, strengthen discipline, motivate morale, and spread loyalty...... This is what these people will do for Gu Hang in the future.
For these things, Gu Hang stayed in the outer city for two full days.
About fifty 'political commissars' were also elected. They put on black coats and freshly dyed red caps, and settled in prisoner of war camps and into the various companies of the Union Legion.
Although these people were driven to the shelves, even the ideological training that Gu Hang had conceived before was very simple, the nuns came to chat with them for a long time, and Gu Hang himself chatted for a long time, and that's it.
But in any case, their own loyalty to Gu Hang is still guaranteed to a certain extent. Throwing them into the army first can also strengthen the control of the army.
As for the training, when I have time to go back and the situation has calmed down, it is not too much to go deeper.
And when Gu Hang was busy with the army, the inner city turned the sky up in the past two days.
