Chapter 505 Reorganization
The next morning, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan arrived at the special forces team together. During the previous days' operations, two members of the special forces team had reached level 13: Liu Ruyan, a triple-elemental ability user (water, fire, earth), and Feng Ke, an A-level Seven-Colored Python Spirit Awakener. Several more level 12 ability users had also joined, bringing the total to five.
It's worth mentioning that Feng Ke is Feng Tian's niece, and she naturally became an Awakened. At the beginning of the apocalypse, without being harmed by zombies or zombie beasts, she simply inhaled the Z virus in the air and naturally became an Awakened.
After being transferred to Shuguang City, Feng Tian witnessed its development and gained a clear understanding of Li Chenglong and his team. He then used his connections to transfer his niece to Shuguang City. Later, when the special forces expanded and only 10 people were to be recruited, Feng Ke successfully joined the special forces after much effort.
The reason Li Chenglong and Yun Lan came together today is to announce something that is both good news and somewhat cruel for the special forces.
After Yang Liu gathered the remaining 49 people, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan exchanged a glance and then said, "I suppose everyone already knows some things, so I'll just say it directly. After approval by the Dawn City branch of the Chinese People's Association, and after discussion by the Military Committee of the Dawn Army People's Association and the General Committee of the Dawn Army, it was unanimously decided that the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade will be established starting next week."
Yunlan continued, "In order to strengthen the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade, especially by providing some experienced and capable officers, starting tomorrow, my and Li Chenglong's direct special operations team, which is you, will be reduced to 20 people."
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "This is actually a good thing for you, especially for those who are going to the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade. Once you go there, you will be officers, with the lowest rank being major. You will advance much faster than you would here with me and Yunlan."
Yunlan took out a form and said, "As appointed by the Military Commission of the Dawn Army People's Congress, Comrade Yang Liu will serve as the commander of the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade. The political commissar will be appointed separately, and the deputy commander is Wang Shuang..."
After explaining the arrangements for all 30 people, Yun Lan concluded, "Comrades, some of you have been with me since the special forces were established in Qing'an Town. Even those who have been in the special forces for the shortest time have spent six or seven months together. I am very reluctant to part with you all, but soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and now there is a bigger stage that needs you, so you must understand the decision that Captain Li has made."
With tears in her eyes, Yang Liu nodded and asked, "Captain Li, Captain Yun, I want to know what the special forces team's plans are after we leave."
Li Chenglong said, "After the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade is established, our special operations team will be renamed the Command-in-Chief Special Mission Task Force, or Special Forces for short. The captain will be Liu Ruyan, the deputy captain will be Feng Ke, and the instructor will be Su Ting. The total number of people will remain unchanged at 20, and there should be no increase or decrease in the number later. In addition, there will be an honorary captain, Yun Lan."
Yunlan then said, "Actually, although it's called a special operations team directly under the headquarters, you 20 people are my personal guard. Just like Captain Li has the Second Section of the Special Mission Support Division in Dawn City, I will also have a special operations team in the future. Those who are leaving, don't be disappointed. Captain Li and I have even higher expectations for you than for the special operations team. We hope that you can use your abilities and knowledge to build a well-disciplined special operations brigade that can fight tough battles for our Dawn Army in a very short time!"
With the official paperwork finished, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan told the special forces soldiers to make themselves at home. They sat together chatting about the past, and before they knew it, the morning had passed. Lunch was eaten in the special forces compound, which, after the transferred personnel left, would be renamed the Special Forces Office. The front would be for offices and training, while the back would be the soldiers' dormitories.
The base of the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade had already been built and decorated to a very high standard. As for the recruitment, it was open to all superhumans or technicians in the Dawn Army. If anyone in Dawn City was willing to apply, they could apply, and the decision on whether to hire them would be made after review.
After lunch, Li Chenglong invited all the members of the Second Special Task Support Section of the Information Processing Department of the Center's Information Management Department, including Deputy Section Chief Zhao Liying, to his office.
The Second Department currently has eight members, including Zhao Liying who also serves as a member. There are two Level 13 Awakened, Zhao Liying and Han Xiaoling, two Level 12 Tri-elemental Ability Users, Sun Menghua and Pei Lijuan, and the other four are Level 11 Single-elemental or Dual-elemental Ability Users.
He first had his secretaries, Wenren Yu and Hai Lianyi, pour everyone a glass of water before saying, "You all know about the reorganization of the special forces, right? I invited you all here today to tell you that our Second Section will never be abolished or reorganized. Because our Second Section is a government agency, and its superior department is the Central Information Management Department. The Central Information Management Department is not under the jurisdiction of the Dawn City General Affairs Department, but is directly led by the City Lord's Office."
He first reassured everyone, then said, "However, the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade has begun to be formed, and 30 comrades have already been transferred to assist. If any of you want to go, you can apply now, and I will approve it immediately. If you are too shy to apply now, you can apply later. The new team has just been established and is eager to recruit talent. You are all very outstanding comrades, and your progress will definitely be very fast if you go there."
The reason Li Chenglong only spoke with the people from Section Two was that when Section One and Section Two were established, he and Yunlan divided them according to individual abilities to meet different needs. Therefore, although the people in Section One were superpowered, they were all support-type or other types unsuitable for combat, while the members of Section Two were all all-round talents who could both fight and possess various professional knowledge.
The group looked at each other and shook their heads in refusal. Li Chenglong nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll give you a day to consider. If you exceed that time and then complain to me or in private about your slow progress in the Second Department, I'll be angry."
After chatting for a while, everyone left Li Chenglong's office together. Hai Lianyi came in to tidy up the desk, and Li Chenglong asked her with a smile, "Do you think any of the people in the Second Division will apply to leave?"
Hai Lianyi thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Although I don't have much contact with the Second Section, in my eyes, the work in the Second Section is easier than that in the First Section. In addition, the Second Section sometimes needs to go out to fight, so the salary is also very high, and there are various subsidies and occasional small benefits. In such a working environment, I don't think anyone would want to leave."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Another crucial point is that in the Second Division, you can directly ask the City Lord for advice anytime, anywhere. Just like me, when I first arrived, my level was low and my ability to control my supernatural abilities was poor. But after asking you for advice many times, my level is now much better than before."
After saying that, she left. Li Chenglong turned on his crystal computer and started working.
At 3 PM, a message was sent to all Dawn City residents with Crystal Phones. It clearly stated that the Dawn Army's special operations war was in preparation, and that eligible individuals from Dawn City and the Dawn Army were welcome to sign up. Below were a list of the requirements for registration.
According to the resolutions of the Dawn Army People's Military Committee and the Dawn Army General Committee, the total number of personnel in the Dawn Army Special Operations Brigade, excluding logistics personnel, is 800. They are divided into four companies, each with 200 personnel, and each company is further divided into squads or detachments of different sizes according to different needs.
Meanwhile, this special operations brigade is directly under the command of the Dawn Army Headquarters, and its highest-ranking officers will be awarded the rank of senior colonel.
