After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, no one moved or stood out. Everyone stood quietly.
Zhou Weiguo continued to wait. After waiting for a few minutes, the soldiers still did not move. Zhou Weiguo's expression darkened completely.
He knew that the soldiers who acted recklessly could only appear in these three battalions. During this period of time, the guard regiment was either patrolling the city or training new recruits. They had no time to go out and act recklessly. As for the 4th Regiment 1st Battalion and 5th Regiment 1st Battalion, they were all clone soldiers.
Those cloned soldiers had been branded with loyalty to themselves since they were nurtured. They would not go against his words, so it could not be them.
Therefore, only the soldiers of these three battalions did this. Moreover, many of the human soldiers in these three battalions were bandits.
Zhou Weiguo waved at Xu Hu, and Xu Hu nodded. After a while, more than ten middle-aged men in embroidered clothes walked into the crowd. These people were the owners of the restaurants. They started to identify the soldiers who were underpaying.
Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Zhao Shoutian stood there with ugly expressions.
They were now colonels and regimental commanders of the national army. As bandits, they were now able to become officers. It was simply a virtue accumulated by their ancestors. Therefore, they had always cherished this hard-earned identity.
But now that such a thing had happened to their team, how could they feel good? Their own people had caused trouble for themselves. Li Wu and the others wanted to find those people and kill them.
Seconds and minutes passed. After almost an hour, the ten bosses came out and pointed at the soldiers standing in the camp.
Soon, more than 20 soldiers were captured by the guards. Those soldiers were still shouting that they were innocent.
Zhou Weiguo was not in a hurry to execute them. He walked down the stage and said in a deep voice,""I'll give you one last chance. Did you do it or not?”
Everyone was shouting that they didn't do it. Zhou Weiguo pursed his lips and called Li Wu and the other two regiment commanders over. He asked them to check if these people had any records of leaving the camp.
Although the 78th Division had just been established and the military uniforms had not been made yet, there were some things that should be done.
For example, leaving the camp was not something that could be done casually. It required the approval of the superior and a record, so it was easy to check their records.
After a while, Li Wu and the others nodded at Zhou Weiguo.
"Carry it out!"
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand. He had already given them a chance, but they always held onto the mentality of luck and thought that they would not be able to find out.
As the sound of gunfire rang out, the hearts of the soldiers standing in the snow trembled. They did not expect Zhou Weiguo to really kill these soldiers.
Zhou Weiguo walked up to the high platform again. He looked at the soldiers below and said loudly,"Soldiers, you might be wondering why I shot those soldiers just because of a little money. Do you think I went too far?
I can tell you now that I think I went too easy on you. Who are we? You are soldiers, and at the same time, you were once civilians. If you want to harm your own people, even your own brothers and sisters, then are we still considered soldiers? Was it still considered an army?
Was there a need for an army that could not even maintain military discipline?
At this time, perhaps someone would say that they were the heroes who had defeated the Japanese. They all had military achievements. Could it be that their military achievements were not even worth a few cents or a few dollars? Let me tell you, their battle achievements cannot be measured with money. Their battle achievements are the pride of their lives.
However, this was not a reason for them to disrespect military discipline, nor was it a reason for them to harm their compatriots. What was a soldier's mission? Protect the country, since you are protecting the country, why do you want to harm your own compatriots…"
Zhou Weiguo had said a lot today. The soldiers below were listening. At the same time, more and more civilians were listening. This was the first time they had heard such an argument. At the same time, they gradually began to understand what kind of army Zhou Weiguo's troops were.
At the end of his speech, Zhou Weiguo even established a military police unit to enforce military discipline.
Today's incident had given the 78th Division a huge shock. At the same time, the soldiers who had been recruited understood that they could not do such things. If you did, even if you had battle merits, you would not be able to avoid punishment.
It was also because of Zhou Weiguo's actions today that many young people in Laiyang County began to join the 78th Division. The recruitment speed was also greatly accelerated, and the new recruit training camps set up by the various regiments were quickly filled.
··········
Time slowly passed, and Zhou Weiguo started to get busy.
Because he was now a division, and because of his position, Old Jiang gave him the right to recruit soldiers on his own. He did not restrict the 78th Division's establishment, so Zhou Weiguo also began to expand his army.
After the First to Fifth Regiments were filled, Zhou Weiguo was preparing for the Heavy Artillery Regiments.
First, he distributed all the cannons of the Artillery Regiment One to the Artillery Regiment Two and Three. Then, he added a large number of clone artillery. Then, he added the 105mm howitzers, 120mm howitzers, and cannons that the base had already produced to the Artillery Regiment One.
There were a total of 75 cannons. Although it wasn't a lot, Zhou Weiguo knew that he couldn't rush it now. The extraterrestrial base was too busy.
They needed to build various factories underground to produce intelligent robots and synthesize various resources. In addition, they needed to build power plants and expand the extraterrestrial base.
In Zhou Weiguo's plan, he needed an air force, an army, and the Jiaodong Peninsula was close to the sea. He also needed a navy.
All of these required a large amount of resources. Not only did they require a large amount of resources, but they also required oil!
Oil could be synthesized, but it also consumed resources. Laiyang County's resources were not very rich, and the reserves were not large. Therefore, he could only put the navy matter aside for the time being. As for the Air Force, the planes were already being manufactured, and the pilots would be provided soon. However, the resources needed to synthesize oil had not been available yet.
Therefore, Zhou Weiguo could not have an air force for the time being. However, in Zhou Weiguo's plan, he would have to expand the artillery unit by three artillery regiments to barely be enough.
