Chapter 139 Instructor Caitlin (please subscribe~)
After the Iron Fist incident, Caitlin resigned from her job as a Piltover law enforcement officer.
But she didn't give up on her dream of being a law enforcement officer.
She still wants to become a law enforcement officer, a law enforcement officer who will be led by a leader in the future and truly serve the public.
However, the current Leader Association does not have a real base of its own, and it is not even a political power. Naturally, it does not have its own law enforcement department and violent agencies.
There is no army or police, only the "community patrol team" that actually maintains public order in the Zaun community, guards the safety of the leader's career, and has both military and police functions.
The patrol currently has 500 people, consisting of one battalion and four companies.
Caitlin works in one of these patrol companies.
Like Seraphine, the "three-person negotiating team" is just her part-time job, and her official position is:
"I say, Instructor Caitlin!"
Wei walked on the street and complained to her friends and colleagues:
"I think since we are pretty much considered soldiers, we should spend more time on combat training."
"What kind of political propaganda and ideological study do you do in the company every day? What kind of reading clubs and seminars do you hold for everyone to read, read newspapers and watch the news? Doesn't this turn our company into a library?"
"We are all roughnecks from Zaun, not college students from Piltover. Why do we spend so much time reading books and newspapers?!"
Hearing her friend's complaint, Caitlin sighed helplessly: "We rarely have a vacation, are you sure you want to talk about this?"
"Well" Wei scratched her head in embarrassment.
"I am also the company commander after all," she said.
"You shouldn't be the company commander." Caitlin snorted rudely: "With your temperament, being a squad leader is a big deal."
This is also true.
If it weren't for the rapid development of the leader in the early stage and the lack of professional talents with firm beliefs, Wei would never have been able to become the leader of this company with his rough and reckless temperament.
"I don't care!" Wei said with a stubborn attitude: "I am the company commander anyway, you have to listen to me!"
"What kind of reading and study group? I don't want to study anymore! What's the use of studying it? As long as I can fight! College students are highly educated, but no matter how highly educated they are, can they beat the Picheng guys away?"
The differences between her and Caitlin were indeed deep on this matter.
Wei has not loved reading since she was a child, and only loves boxing.
These days, Caitlin organizes reading and newspapers every day, which makes Wei's eyes dazzle.
But Caitlin replied calmly: "I am the instructor and the president of the company branch."
"Even if you are the company commander, you must obey the command of the Wind Leader Association."
"and--"
She patiently explained to Wei:
"You are also a leader after all. Don't you know where our leader's beliefs come from?"
"If you don't read books, newspapers and history, you won't understand the past and present; if you don't understand the past and present, you won't know what to do now and how to go in the future."
"I am the president of the company branch. It is necessary for me to let everyone think about these issues and help everyone build a true faith."
"But that can't take away the time for combat training." Wei was still a little dissatisfied: "The training is not enough, where does the combat effectiveness come from?"
"There's enough training time." Caitlin couldn't help rolling her eyes at this colleague who was full of muscles: "It's just that you think it's not enough."
"And, when it comes to 'where does combat power come from'."
Caitlin paused slightly.
She thought of Li Wei's teachings to them, the political cadres, as well as some of her own thoughts and understandings after joining the Leader.
So I heard Caitlin suddenly ask: "Vi, do you think the Zaun Independent Army led by Fandel ten years ago has combat effectiveness?"
"I" Wei's expression is a little complicated.
She could tell that Caitlin was comparing the independent armed forces of Zaun led by Fander and the armed forces led by Windleader.
"No, it doesn't count, right?" Wei was very reluctant, but she still answered.
After all, Fandel lost back then, and lost miserably.
How can the losing side deserve to be evaluated as "combatant"?
But Caitlin replied: "No, their 'individual' combat effectiveness is actually very strong."
"I have read the Piltover law enforcer's internal account of this battle—"
"Even these Piltover law enforcement officials who generally discriminated against the Zaun people had to admit after the war that the Zaun people's combat effectiveness in this battle was much stronger than they initially imagined."
"Especially the alchemy barons of Zaun, led by Fandel, who organized the armed riot."
"They generally have a strong combat power of one against a hundred, and their will to fight is extremely determined. At the beginning of the battle, they took the lead and broke through the defensive positions of Piltover law enforcement officers, which greatly boosted the morale of the Zaun Independent Army."
So at the beginning of the battle, Fandel's side actually suppressed the Piltover law enforcement officer.
They almost crossed the canal bridge.
"But an individual's power has its limits after all."
"Those strong men from Zaun who took the lead in the charge fell one after another in front of an army of well-trained and well-organized law enforcement officers after a fierce battle."
"At this time, something ridiculous happened -"
"Originally, the Zaun people had almost broken through the canal defense line after a hard battle, but with the fall of these few strong men, the originally powerful Zaun people suddenly started to retreat like deflated balloons.
retreat."
"At first, there were only a few people escaping, and then there were dozens, then hundreds. Within a few minutes, most of Zu An's troops were gone."
"Many Zaun people at the rear of the army did not even see the faces of their enemies. They were knocked to the ground by their own people while escaping, and were trampled and seriously injured."
"And the Piltover law enforcement officials who were almost unable to hold on, somehow managed to hold on to their canal defense line."
"This" Wei was a little distracted after hearing this.
Yes, she still remembers what happened back then.
At that time, Fander led everyone in Zaun, as well as her and Jinx's biological parents, and stormed onto the canal bridge in a menacing manner.
At first, the two sides were still fighting and fighting, and the fight was inextricable. But then, somehow, Zuan's side was defeated.
People fled backwards in a swarm, leaving only Fandel and a few others who continued to fight.
They shouted for everyone not to run away and to continue fighting.
But it's no use.
Then, the law enforcement officials pursued and massacred the Zaun people one-sidedly.
That tragic scene still leaves a lingering shadow in Wei's heart.
"Why is this happening?" Caitlin asked: "The Zaun people clearly still had fighting ability at that time, so why did they inexplicably collapse with only a little battle damage?"
"Because they lack faith and have no organization."
"Their morale comes entirely from the encouragement of a few strong men. Once these strong men are defeated, they will start to fear. Fear will spread among the group, causing a chain reaction."
Wei heard a moment of silence.
She seemed to understand.
Caitlin further explained: "Our branch of the Leader Association is directly established on the company."
"For example, our patrol company has a total of 3 platoons and 10 squads, with 12 people in each squad."
"Our company branch currently has 30 official leaders. These 30 leaders are assigned to each class, so that each class can be assigned three 'leaders' with firm beliefs and tenacious will.
.”
"These three leaders can bring up at least three followers with positive attitudes in the class, so that the number of leaders and followers can have an advantage over other small groups, and in fact play a role in
Leadership.”
People are infected by their surrounding environment.
Branches are established in companies so that leaders can penetrate directly into each squad, play a leading role in the most basic combat units, and take the lead on the battlefield to inspire the morale of the entire squad.
However, the resistance army organized by Fandel was a chaotic grassroots team.
They also have leaders, but the leaders are only a few powerful alchemy barons.
Once these strong men are defeated, people's hearts will be scattered.
"Wei, do you understand now why we let soldiers read books, read newspapers, and engage in ideological study?"
"We engage in political propaganda and ideological study in order to cultivate more qualified leaders with firm beliefs among soldiers."
"It is to allow everyone to be influenced and infected by the leader, and to maximize everyone's combat effectiveness;"
"Instead of being like the Zaun Resistance Army back then, everyone rushed up in a swarm and dispersed after a few punches."
"Yeah" Wei listened.
