Chapter 150 Base Area Plan

In fact, many people don’t think about the results when they do certain things. Just like the inconspicuous sparks in the grassland, and like the inadvertent spread of wings of a butterfly... They will not know the power of the prairie fire and the turbulent storm in the distance.

... After hearing the results of the pilot implementation of the big-character poster project, Luo Sha immediately made the decision to spread it over a large area. The Propaganda Department, Tactical Department, Scout Team, and other departments were all activated. Villages and towns with a radius of more than 100 kilometers were immediately marked on the map, followed by groups of personnel and large-character posters, like the rays of the rising sun in the early morning. , rapidly radiating in all directions.

The vivid cartoons, the real tragic stories, the concise and powerful concept of the Gray Army... are like nuclear fission, causing waves in the hearts of thousands of poor people.

Of course, such a response is also due to the Gray Army’s ten years of unyielding struggle. These good impressions made before are now beginning to accumulate.

All this was going on quietly, and the aristocratic men who were dominating the city did not know that a vigorous movement was gathering strength.

Propaganda is only the first step in the big-character poster plan. The next step is for the gray-coated army personnel to harvest the results. Or villagers who want to become the Gray Army, or bags of food to support... The strength of the Gray Army is expanding at an unprecedented speed. Those small swearing-in meetings that were held before any member joined are now changed. It became an issue every three days, then it became an issue every five days, then it became an issue once a week... Everything has two sides, just like everything has pros and cons. Those who continue to join not only enhance the strength of the Gray Army, but also bring some management difficulties. The area of ​​the garrison has been expanded again and again, and a large number of veterans have begun to take up the position of captain... The top brass of the Gray Army have begun to have troubles with their happiness. First of all, there are not enough armors and weapons, and then food will also be a problem in the future... I originally thought that by knocking off those nobles, they would be able to It has been supported for a long time, but now it seems that it is far from enough.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace, more than a month after the implementation of the big-character poster project, Losa held another high-level meeting in her hut. This time, in addition to the old ministers, Tang En, Joshua, and Borg were also asked to join.

Josiah and Borg are due to their recent outstanding performance, especially Josiah. You must know that even Bosco and the others thought that the big-character poster plan was hers. Now that we have achieved such gratifying results, we are naturally qualified to have a seat here.

It was somewhat unexpected that Tang En was sitting next to the old ministers, but considering his previous military exploits, it was barely enough.

But Tang En is a little bored now. He came here purely because of Luo Sha's request. He hasn't been paying attention to the changes in the station recently, but has devoted all his energy to training the new members.

"Ahem, now that we're all here, let's get started!" Losa cleared her throat and then turned her attention to Bosco.

The latter nodded knowingly, stood up and took out a piece of paper: "In the past month and a half, more than 25,000 people have joined the Gray Army, and about 30,000 kilograms of food have been donated..."

Wow - everyone was perked up and beaming with joy when they heard this.

Tang En also raised his eyebrows. He knew that the Gray Army was expanding rapidly recently, but he did not expect such amazing results.

"...Josiah is indispensable for achieving such results, so please allow me to express my gratitude." After speaking, Bosco half-bowed and saluted Josiah.

"Uh..." Joshua was startled, his face suddenly turned red, he stood up hurriedly, bowed in return, "Minister Bosco, you are serious, I, I..."

As he stammered, Josiah couldn't help but cast a ashamed look at Tang En aside.

She naturally knew whose hand the big-character poster project came from, but both Tang En and Luo Sha had told her that the plan would be recorded in her name.

Tang En took the lead in applauding and said with a smile: "Josiah, don't be too humble, this is all your credit!"

Bang bang bang... The people around him were smiling and applauding. They didn't know what was going on, so they all looked encouraging.

Joshua was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and bowed to the people around him.

Doesn't she know that Luo Sha wants to support her to become a hero... Tang En looked at Luo Sha in confusion. The latter stroked her forehead. She had been so busy with chores recently that she had forgotten to communicate with Josiah about this matter.

After the applause paused, Bosco added: "But because so many people have joined, the station logistics department has issued a warning. If this continues, we will be in a food crisis in a month."

"Not bad!" Luo Sha nodded, "This is also the reason for calling everyone here. I hope we can find a way to solve this problem."

Tang En suddenly understood. It seemed that Luo Sha invited him here because he wanted him to come up with some good ideas... He smiled bitterly. Tang En couldn't help but shake his head. His family knew his own affairs, so asking him for this kind of question was really in vain... The people who joined after that were not only soldiers, but also had their mouths open. If this problem cannot be properly resolved, it will indeed damage morale.

The Gray Army's financial source mainly relies on donations from the public. In the past, when the number of members was small, they could barely maintain a balance. Now that the twenty-five thousand people were added, this balance was immediately broken. It can be said that if it hadn't been for the recent profit, the Gray Army would have fallen into famine.

The problem has been put on the table, and the relaxed atmosphere that started at the beginning is gone. Everyone was thinking hard, and the ideas occasionally proposed were quickly rejected during the discussion because they either addressed the symptoms rather than the root cause, or were unrealistic.

Tang En yawned secretly. He had given up long ago. This was really not a problem he could solve. After scanning around, he focused his attention on Zuo Fan in the corner. The latter still looked like he had no sense of existence. He closed his eyes and held his sword, seeming to be taking a nap.

Is this an air-level warrior? It's really the style of a master... Tang En guessed boringly.

As if feeling the scrutinizing gaze, Zuo Fan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tang En, nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes again.

Tang En was stunned and touched his nose. It feels really sensitive... At this moment, "I have an idea." A clear voice came out.

Tang En turned his head in surprise and saw Berg standing up from his seat and saluting.

"Oh? Tell me." Luosha asked with interest.

"My idea is to build a fixed production place behind the station!" Borg said confidently, "We have already reserved quite a strong force now, and it will be even stronger in the future. So, why don't we build an impregnable place?" How about using this place as the headquarters of the Gray Army's defense? As long as we can defend this place, we can free up our hands for production and be self-sufficient..."

Borg's idea is undoubtedly feasible. This model is actually like a nobleman who not only has his own manor, but also has some production farms. Previously, the Gray Army was being hunted down because of their lack of strength and could not gain a foothold. Now that there is a big-character poster plan, the strength will undoubtedly develop rapidly. In this way, it is very necessary to establish a base area.

But did Borg really come up with this idea? Tang En had doubts about this. Through previous contacts, Tang En knew that Borg was very smart, especially good at tactics, but he was completely incompetent in internal affairs such as logistics... "Borg is a good idea!"

"Yes, now we can indeed consider establishing our own territory."

"..."

Several old ministers' eyes lit up and they all spoke in support of Borg's idea.

"But growing crops takes time, at least several months. What should we do about our current problems?" At this time, an old minister asked.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Yes, this is a good idea, but the effect is too slow, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearers.

Borg said confidently: "I have also considered this. Bran is currently at war with the Northern Wilderness tribe, and the army supplies are all shipped from the cities in the rear. I suggest starting from here!"

"You mean we robbed it?"

Shaking his head slightly, Borg smiled and said: "No, it was those thieves who robbed it, and it has nothing to do with our Gray Army."

"Uh..." Looking at Borg's unclear smile, everyone came back to their senses and understood his intention.

Borg's idea was very simple, that is, let the Gray Army soldiers pretend to be bandits to carry out robberies. Anyway, there are many bandits in the north, and Bran officials will not suspect them for a while.

"good!"

"I think this idea works. They have been chasing us for so many years, so they should pay a price." Old General Oumeng nodded and laughed.

At this time, Tang En noticed Bosco, who was smiling softly. Yes, he should have come up with this watertight idea, and now he just borrowed it from Borg. It’s easy to think of the reason. Just like the big-character poster plan to record Josiah’s name, it was to increase his reputation and merit.

"Very good, Bog, you have a good idea!" Luo Sha nodded happily. She did not expect that the problem would be solved so quickly.

Boger couldn't help but show his pride as he received the praise, but he was not a stupid person and quickly bowed to thank everyone for their encouragement.

The atmosphere in the wooden house has returned to a relaxed atmosphere. The old ministers looked at Josiah and Borg with admiring expressions. These two people have really shown their talents recently.

At this time, dong dong dong... there was a knock on the door!

Luo Sha was startled. She had already told the guards outside that they would have a meeting today and not to be disturbed by outsiders.

"Come in!"

A young man in gray clothes pushed open the door and walked in, saluting: "Chief, hello, ministers and officers, I have an urgent report."

Tang En raised his eyebrows, isn't this Colin from the Propaganda Department?

"Well, you say."

"When we went to a village today to continue our propaganda, we found that several villagers who had donated food to us were beaten seriously..."

"What!"

"Damn it, who did it?"

Everyone was furious. Most of the Gray Army came from civilians. Moreover, the person being beaten now is someone who had donated food. After all, this was clearly aimed at the Gray Army. If this matter is not handled well, it will make people fearful, which will also affect the big-character poster plan.

Colin continued: "It is the owner of this fief, a knight named Claude."

Luo Sha had a gloomy look on his face, nodded and said, "I understand, you can go out first."

After Colin came to the door, Losa glanced around: "How do you think we should handle this?"

"Of course we will kill him back!" The fiery-tempered Old General Oumeng immediately expressed his stance, "I will have a team of troops set off right now to flatten his manor."

"I have no objection to killing them back..." an old minister frowned and said, "But will the consequences attract some people's attention?" It can be said that this happened at an untimely time. The big-character poster project is now in full swing. If Bran officially targets him for killing this knight, it's hard to say what the consequences will be.

It can be said that the Gray Army is now in a dilemma. If he doesn’t kill, it will chill everyone’s hearts and may also have a bad impact on the big-character poster plan. Killing, the consequences are unpredictable, and even a bad person will continue to be hunted down.

The situation is obvious, now it depends on how the senior management will decide. Suddenly, "Huh..." Luo Sha, who had been silently watching the discussion, breathed a sigh of relief and said decisively: "Kill!" Luo Sha was going to use this to establish her authority. She would not allow anything to stop the big-character poster now. implementation of the plan.

Luo Sha is the supreme leader of the Gray Army and has the final decision-making power. But she is not independent, and her usual decisions are made after discussing with everyone. This certainly doesn't mean that she doesn't have the ability to make decisions. Once she makes up her mind, Luo Sha can act resolutely.

"Okay! I..." Old General Oumeng slapped his palms and waited for an order.

"Wait!" Tang En suddenly stood up at this time, first apologized to Old General Oumeng, and then said calmly: "Chief, how about leaving this task to Gray Space?"

Tang En is currently worried about how to bring the new members to experience the actual combat. After all, no matter how much they train, they will still kill people. Now that he has this opportunity, he certainly won't miss it.

Luo Sha looked at Tang En who took the initiative to challenge, and instantly understood his intention, and nodded, "Okay. But this time I want to kill him thoroughly, and wipe out the manor directly!"

"Don't worry, chief, it's professional!"
