"Chloe node, I think your decision is a bit risky." No one dared to refute Chloe at the meeting. After the meeting, Cam communicated with Chloe through the Internet.
"The scale of the battle is too great. According to the knowledge in my mind, only when social civilization develops to the late industrial society can it be possible to organize a large-scale battle with a scale of more than one million."
"To bring so many people together requires extremely high organizational skills, so that they don't fall behind, don't starve, and don't get into trouble. It's also very difficult to direct them to fight and win."
Cam's words were full of worry.
"You mean I'm too reckless?" Chloe's question seemed to have a hint of smile.
"It's too risky. With the human army and the Krol bastion, plus a thousand fires Roach, their bombardment power is very high. We can slowly consume the enemy's effective strength in defense. This is a sure-win strategy."
"Yes, this strategy is the most correct, but if I choose this strategy, what will Overmind think? Will they think I am an excellent node?"
Facing Chloe's questions, Cam fell silent.
Yes, a strategy that is too regular will not attract people's attention. Even if you win, it will only make people feel normal.
"So, I plan to take a little risk. I plan to become a person who can challenge difficulties, overcome difficulties, and be a shining person." Chloe said in a very firm tone.
Cam was silent on the network for a long time. It was so long that Chloe thought he was offline. Then Cam replied, "Chloe node, you are excellent. You have the qualities to become an excellent node. I will learn from you."
Cam's words made Chloe feel embarrassed. The Chloe on the Internet is really without a mask, not the cold tyrant outside.
"Hahaha, don't say that. It's me who learns from you. The knowledge in your mind is enough for me to learn for a long, long time."
"Knowledge does not mean wisdom, nor does it mean the aura of thinking. You have a shining aura."
"Cam, we are friends, stop being so talkative. Help me now. As you said, it is extremely difficult to organize hundreds of thousands of people. Human beings are not Swarm. They are too complicated."
"No problem. Although Swarm has the Internet and lacks relevant experience, many civilizations have corresponding knowledge. I will call up the records of world wars in their history."
The database of Swarm is really a treasure. Although collecting these treasures is a tragedy like Consume Galaxy, some civilizations are destined to pass away and become dust that no one knows about.
And Swarm Consume saved them and preserved their records, their history, and their knowledge. Isn't this a kind of eternity?
A month later, John led 100,000 Crowland troops onto the grasslands of the Highlanders. This was a huge test for him. Before Chloe promoted him to general, he was just an unknown adjutant.
He has no connections and no reputation, which is why when the parliament ordered the dispatch of a decoy force, he was temporarily promoted to commander.
At the beginning of the march, he did encounter many problems. Soldiers fell behind, food supplies, camping locations, water sources, etc. all troubled him.
But now, this is no longer a problem. He has never found that being a general can be so simple.
The solution to the problem came from a... John didn't know how to describe Mr. Cam. He was huge, powerful, and full of wisdom.
He seems to be a subordinate of Queen. He has no official position. John can no longer call Mr. Cam a monster, so John has no choice but to call him Mr. Cam.
Mr. Cam established a system called the Soldier Committee Management System. To put it bluntly, it was to break the previous situation where officers were the sole leader and allow the soldiers themselves to participate in management.
If soldiers are dissatisfied and have various demands, as long as they are reasonable and beneficial to the army, officers must report them to their superiors and respond after discussion.
At first, John thought that such an approach would definitely cause chaos in the army, and the soldiers would question whether the officers could still fight.
The facts were indeed as he thought. A few days before the implementation of this system, all Croland troops were in chaos. The soldiers made various demands, which made it impossible to complete the marching mission.
To sum up, the requirements of soldiers are not complicated. The first one is to pay the long-overdue military pay. The second one is that the war dead must be provided with pensions. The third one is that moldy bread cannot be used for food. The fourth one must have complete clothing. The fifth one is that officers cannot beat soldiers at will.
These questions may seem simple, but they are actually a persistent problem in the military today. How can officers make a fortune and demonstrate their authority without oppressing soldiers?
Then, in just a few days, all these problems were solved. The huge flying insects played the role of transportation, and they carried the military pay and watched it from the side, so that the officers did not dare to deduct it anymore.
Fresh food and clothing were also distributed. John could see the happy smiles of the soldiers, and he could feel that the morale of the army was as high as ever.
Within two days, something happened again. The officer who tried to blackmail the soldiers into handing over their military pay and beat the soldiers was reported.
Then there were those terrifying giant flying insects, which carried out the will of Queen. After figuring out the truth, they directly ate the officers who were bullying the soldiers.
The whistleblower was promoted to a new officer on the spot, and the soldiers burst into cheers that John had never seen before.
In the past, in John's eyes, the soldiers were numb and stupid, but now he could see the light in the eyes of these soldiers. They began to regard the army as their home, regard those terrifying Swarm as the embodiment of justice, and regard the officers as the objects of surveillance.
John believed that even as a general, once he disobeyed orders from Queen Chloe, once he committed an act of bullying the soldiers.
There is no need for anyone to investigate or Swarm to sanction him. The soldiers around him will tie him up and send him to Queen for trial.
Queen compensated them for their treatment as soldiers, gave them dignity as human beings, and gave them the hope of being knighted in the future.
What reason do the soldiers have not to be loyal to such Queen? Where was the Republic when they were being oppressed?
The law only protects high-ranking military officers and nobles, but now there are people who really stand with them.
The story about Chloe being the savior began to spread faster and faster. Most of the soldiers believed that it was true. Chloe was really the daughter of God and came to save them.
And they will follow Queen to defeat the devil.
Later, John discovered that the subjective initiative of the army was getting higher and higher. The big problems that were once were no longer problems. Every soldier would find a way to solve any difficulties encountered during the march.
As a general, John only had to give orders.
