Chapter 153 - 152 Undermining the Foundation
Li Wen gazed at Gao Yuan for a while, then he nodded and said, "State your demand."
Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The weaponry will definitely be satisfactory, and I need to prepare more food. I know these are not a problem, so I only have one request, you have to give me a title. Our Fierce Tiger Brigade..."
Li Wen took a deep breath, chuckled bitterly, and then he said in a low voice, "I knew you would say that, Xiao Gao, this is a tough problem you’ve presented us with."
Confused, Gao Yuan said in a soft voice, "How is this presenting a tough problem? The Fierce Tiger Brigade is a heroic unit, isn’t it normal and right to rebuild it?"
Li Wen said gravely, "The Fierce Tiger Brigade is a brigade, not just a squad. Do you know what it means to rebuild a brigade under the current conditions?"
Gao Yuan truly did not understand what it meant to rebuild a brigade under the current conditions and circumstances; in his view, wasn’t it just a matter of recruiting a bunch of people and changing the unit number?
Seeing Gao Yuan’s puzzled expression, Li Wen continued, "Forming a brigade is not a simple matter. Personnel, equipment, combat objectives, these are not things that can be resolved with a few words. So, while I understand your ideas, now is not the time to rebuild the Fierce Tiger Brigade. There are more important tasks at hand."
Speaking softly, Gao Yuan said, "Commander, I understand. Then what about this, could I start as a squad leader? If you think I can’t handle that, then I’ll remain a raw recruit. Just authorize me to recruit new soldiers and form a squad. You can just assign a squad leader for me!"
