Chapter 529 Staying and Leaving
In the days following his return to Dawn City, Li Chenglong was constantly busy. He first personally presided over the memorial service for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in this battle, then went to the headquarters in Yanjing to give a report, and also visited other bases and had exchanges with their main leaders.
On April 2nd, Li Chenglong concluded his meeting with Zhao Wuji and led a group of staff back to Dawn City aboard the X2 airship.
With the cover-up broken, there has been no sign of any special forces in the past few days. Even the spatial channels that used to teleport special forces have completely disappeared.
Shen Menghua, who went with Li Chenglong, said optimistically, "So many days have passed, and we haven't encountered a single special forces member. It seems that we have completely won the battle against special forces, and we don't have to worry about it anymore."
Li Chenglong shook his head: "That's not entirely true. The fleet led by Guedes was in such a hurry to return because the star system near headquarters was attacked by special forces. Since there are still a large number of special forces in the universe, it means that we will still be threatened by them."
Han Xiaoling, who was standing nearby, asked, "Brother, how are Miss Marina and Miss Cecily doing? Are they both leaving?"
In the past few days, Marina and Cecily both approached Li Chenglong, and their messages were essentially the same: the current special crisis on Earth has been resolved, and the primary task for Earth now is to strive to recover from the post-apocalyptic environment, so it is not appropriate for them to continue to stay here.
Marina had already contacted Roddick, and several thousand of their Setanians would be going to Melan to settle down and live. Miss Cecily, on the other hand, was preparing to return to Meral. The alien coalition on their home planet had long since retreated or collapsed, so Cecily planned to lead her people back to rebuild.
Li Chenglong initially expressed his reluctance and desire for them to stay, but seeing their determination to leave, he couldn't force them to stay and had to agree to their request. However, some members of the space fleet and the Setan aliens were tired of the constant flying around and wanted to stay in Dawn City to help with China's reconstruction efforts, to which Li Chenglong warmly welcomed them.
Li Chenglong looked at Han Xiaoling and said, "Yes, they are all leaving. I looked at the list that Yunlan sent me yesterday. There are more than 5000 people left, including the Setan aliens and members of the space fleet. And it's not just us. Most of the aliens in America and Europe have also left to find their new world."
Liu Ruyan, the captain of the special forces team that carried out this escort mission, said: "From being enemies at the beginning to becoming allies who fought together later, we have spent more than a year with them. Now that we have to part ways, I really feel a little reluctant."
Sun Menghua, a member of the Second Division, also said: "I have fought alongside the Setan aliens and the warriors of the space fleet many times. They are tough, disciplined, and always go all out in every battle. As warriors, they are worthy of respect."
Zhao Liying said, "Captain Li, we should hold a grand welcome party for them when we get back. When they came, they didn't have a grand entrance because of the presence of special forces, but now that they're leaving, we have to make sure they leave in style."
Li Chenglong shook his head, took out a document, and said, "They've already left. They left last night. Before they left, Cecily, Erica, Marina, Keltilan, and others all spoke with me individually. They apologized for their hasty departure but asked for our understanding. I can't say anything more about it; I can only pray that everything goes well for them."
He continued, "As for the 5047 people who stayed behind, since they have expressed a strong desire to join Dawn City, and after this test, it is clear that they genuinely want to stay on Earth and in our Dawn City. Starting tomorrow, give each of them an official ID card, and their original positions will remain unchanged or they will be promoted. Those who were previously in the 3rd Army will be assigned to other units, but they will also be given important responsibilities."
In fact, the departure of the space fleet and the Setan aliens had the greatest impact on the Dawn Army. The Dawn Army's 3rd Corps, which was already understaffed, now had less than 3000 men, including the alien warriors who remained. Therefore, the Dawn Army still needed to be reorganized.
Moreover, this matter must be done as soon as possible. The main reason is that Li Chenglong knows that the special forces have not been completely wiped out; they have only disappeared from the solar system. They can use space travel and may reappear at any time. Therefore, the reorganization of the Dawn Army must be completed as soon as possible.
At 2 PM, Li Chenglong and his group returned to the civilian airport in Dawn City. According to the orders he issued on the spaceship, the Dawn Army would hold a meeting at 3 PM to discuss the reorganization.
Not only that, he had already consulted with the Chinese headquarters, especially Commander Chen Guoqiang, on the spaceship. Commander Chen Guoqiang smiled and told Li Chenglong that he could rest assured and proceed with the reorganization of the Dawn Army; once it was done, he just needed to submit a report. As long as it did not violate the Chinese Constitution or the established policies of the Chinese People's Congress and the Military General Council, they would not interfere.
With the leader's support, Li Chenglong could finally go ahead with his work without worry. On the spaceship, Li Chenglong even called Xu Qingming and Wei Huasheng's crystal phones to ask for their opinions.
Both men stated that although the crisis had temporarily subsided, they had no intention of leaving to rebuild the Flying Cloud Base. If they left now, and the special forces were to attack again, it would be a bad thing for both them and Dawn City.
At 3 p.m., the Dawn Army Military Conference officially began. Commander-in-Chief Li Chenglong, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yun Lan, Political Commissar Zheng Yong, Chief of Staff Feng Tian, Director of the General Political Department Qi Guoan, and ministers and deputy ministers of various departments, as well as officers above the regimental and deputy regimental levels from various units, attended the conference.
The main topic of this conference is the reorganization of the Dawn Army. However, due to the departure of the space fleet and the Setan warriors, the Dawn Army's ground forces are the most affected. Therefore, this conference is focused on the reorganization of the ground forces.
After discussion, it was unanimously decided to use this incident as an opportunity to reorganize the Dawn Army's ground forces. The reorganized Dawn Army ground forces were divided into two armies with a total of 5.2 men.
The commander of the 1st Army of the Dawn Army is Wu Gang, the deputy commander is Wei Lanxin, the political commissar is Zheng Aiguo, the deputy political commissar is Wan Dahai, the chief of staff is Qin Susu, the deputy chief of staff is Song Tie, the director of the political department is Qian Guangming, and the deputy director of the political department is Zhao Gang.
The commander of the 2nd Army of the Dawn Army was Xu Qingming, the deputy commander was Wei Huasheng, the political commissar was Sun Youcai, the deputy political commissar was Hao Dahai, the chief of staff was Zheng Kai, the deputy chief of staff was Li Desheng, the director of the political department was Wang Yousheng, and the deputy director of the political department was Wang Shishi.
In addition to adjustments to the military headquarters, this conference also made some changes to officers at the division and regimental levels. The reorganized Dawn Army consists of two fully-staffed armies, one army with two divisions, each division with six regiments, and each regiment with 1800 personnel. Including headquarters and related personnel, the total number of personnel is 52,000.
It is worth mentioning that the 3000 warriors from the space fleet and the planet Setan were also divided into two regiments, each assigned to the 1st Division of the 1st Army and the 4th Division of the 2nd Army. At the same time, some of their personnel were also among the division-level or deputy division-level officers of these two divisions, which may have ensured fairness.
Li Chenglong also emphasized that all comrades fighting together should be treated equally, especially those from outer space, who should be given sufficient respect. If anyone causes disunity or discriminates, they should be fired and no longer a member of Dawn City or the Dawn Army.
At 6 PM, the Dawn Army Military Conference officially concluded. Following this reorganization, the total number of Dawn Army troops was reduced again, from 10.8 to 9.4. For Dawn City, with a total population of 61, maintaining this army is now relatively easy.
At the same time, major human bases in China also began to reduce their military forces to a certain extent, implementing a policy of streamlining administration and reducing personnel. This would both preserve the majority of their combat capabilities and alleviate various pressures on the bases.
