Chapter 56 What Method?

"What method?"

Captain Jin stopped again and looked back at Li Chenzhou.

"Immediately announce a state of maximum combat readiness, put all bases under martial law, implement military control, and have the military take over all entrances, exits, and important facilities!"

Li Chenzhou said, "Although the military may also be infiltrated by the Controllers, the probability is smaller. Also, this will allow General Hu and the others to choose reliable people to be responsible for the base's defense, which will definitely increase the safety factor!"

"Military control?"

Captain Jin was taken aback. The term was quite new to him because they had never implemented any military control. The military had never been the dominant force in the Duoluo world, so military control was impossible.

"Yes! Military control is a common emergency state in our world. Because the main force protecting the base is soldiers, they understand the enemy best."

Li Chenzhou said, "So, when facing a crisis, we hand over the entire defense system to the soldiers and let them arrange it themselves because they are the experts. Your council system has too many flaws. The four major families are deeply rooted, and everything is based on their own family's interests. As for the Avengers Alliance, although they are all elites, they are hothouse flowers. They have arrogance but lack the ability to match it. The civilian representatives are even more useless, completely displayed as decorative vases to make the civilians think they have a seat in the council. You know the real situation better than I do. The only experts, the military, are also weak. They are the ones fighting desperately and sacrificing, but they have to listen to the decisions of people who know nothing. This is a typical case of amateurs commanding professionals. In our world, someone has already proven the error of this approach. So, you must correct it immediately. Otherwise, your bases will probably be lost one after another, and eventually, you won't even have a place to stand!"

"But..."

Captain Jin frowned as he walked forward. "The council won't agree. This will greatly weaken their power!"

"Are they stupid? If things continue like this, everyone will die. If there's no one left, what power will they have?"

Li Chenzhou curled his lips and said, "Besides, wasn't Base Three just breached because of an internal traitor? Use that as an excuse. Tell General Hu to make a commitment that if the previous problem occurs again after entering military management, leading to the base being breached, he will take full responsibility! Conversely, if anyone objects, then fine, if the same situation occurs, whoever objected will bear full responsibility! Those council guys spend all day arguing. You want them to take responsibility? Hmph! I bet no one will dare to speak. So, that's how you do it. In extraordinary times, you must use extraordinary measures!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Captain Jin's eyes lit up. Of course, he knew the council guys well. What Li Chenzhou said was about right. If they followed Li Chenzhou's method, military control might really become a reality!

"Okay! We'll go see the general first, ask his opinion, and then decide!"

Captain Jin suddenly became excited. After all, he was also in the military, so he quickened his pace. Soon, he led Li Chenzhou to find Hu Tao.

At this time, Hu Tao was with Dugutianfeng, discussing how to resist the Controllers. Seeing Li Chenzhou, he was overjoyed, and both of them stood up.

Dugutianfeng's eyes were full of admiration for Li Chenzhou. He already knew about Li Chenzhou killing Zhang Yu and the other youth.

Letting Zhang Yu follow Li Chenzhou was originally Dugutianfeng's test for Li Chenzhou. He didn't expect this little guy to be so decisive, doing even better than he had hoped.

"Little Li! You're back? This is..."

Seeing Li Chenzhou covered in blood, Hu Tao quickly asked.

"It's nothing! It's all zombies and Blue Demons!"

Li Chenzhou briefly explained what happened when he entered Base Three, then told them what he and Captain Jin had discussed on the road.

"Military control? That's a great idea!"

After hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Hu Tao and Dugutianfeng's eyes lit up. Hu Tao blurted out, "As long as the military fully takes over the base's various functional systems, the Base Three incident will never happen again!"

"The Avengers Alliance fully supports it!"

Dugutianfeng said very briefly.

"Then it's settled!"

Hu Tao made a final decision. Anyway, their military and the Avengers Alliance were temporarily united, and with the rule that whoever opposes it is responsible, there was basically no problem with the military control proposed by Li Chenzhou.

After discussing some more details, Dugutianfeng immediately went to prepare to convene a meeting of the base's leaders, while Hu Tao stayed behind.

"Little Li! The situation isn't good. We have a new enemy we've never encountered before. We know almost nothing about the Controllers! Facing an unknown enemy, we must give it our all. So, shouldn't you, the military's specially appointed instructor, start working?"

"Now?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned.

"Yes! Right now."

Hu Tao nodded and said, "In Base Three, the military was responsible for holding the line to cover everyone's retreat, and the casualties were heavy. Half of the soldiers in Base Three were lost. I don't want to watch those kids die in front of me one after another. So... Little Li, I beg you, train them well. I don't expect you to make them stronger in a short period of time, but I hope you can give them more self-preservation ability."

"Okay! Since I promised you, I will naturally do it. But I still insist on what I said before. If I train them, I must be fully responsible. They must do whatever I tell them to do!"

Li Chenzhou said, "If they don't meet my standards or refuse to obey my orders, I will immediately expel them, no matter who they are. So, General Hu, I hope that after I eliminate the unqualified people, no one will come to plead for them!"

"No problem!"

Hu Tao nodded directly without hesitation, then immediately ordered the soldiers to be summoned and gathered on the training ground. Then, he nodded to Li Chenzhou and led him to the training ground!

When they arrived at the training ground, the army had already assembled, with a total of more than 3,000 people standing in the huge training ground. It had to be said that the construction of the underground base in the Duoluo world was quite good. They were able to create such a large training ground underground without any support pillars.

Sensing the auras of the soldiers in front of him, Li Chenzhou was a little depressed because he couldn't sense the level of any of these warriors. In other words, every one of these soldiers who were about to become his students was much higher level than him. It seemed that his job as an instructor would definitely not be smooth sailing...
