Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 98

Chapter 98, Comrades, follow me and charge!

“Hurry, hurry! Faster!” Cody shouted loudly.

Beside him, two infantry platoons were moving quickly. These soldiers, still wearing the uniforms of the Union Legion, are now reliable troops.

Although not as reliable as Cody’s old troops, he believes that with his efforts these days, they should be willing to fight for the Governor.

What’s more, today’s mission is for Fuxing City.

Cody came from Feidong Society and was the first batch of soldiers to enlist under the Governor. Perbov was his old leader.

When Perbov was ordered to form the 2nd Battalion, Cody was also promoted and became a squad leader. After the battle to capture Fuxing City, he was elected as a political commissar. He wore a black coat, a red military cap and epaulettes, looking handsome and domineering, which was completely different from the general soldiers’ attire.

It is hard to say how much Cody was willing to do the job of the political commissar at that time, and how much this suit played a role in it.

Of course, he understood his responsibilities better.

To be honest, even after half a day of lessons on loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor given by the Sisters of the Holy Lily, and the Governor-General giving them a heart-to-heart talk, he still didn’t quite understand how the duties of a political commissar should be performed.

This is what is called forcing a duck to climb a tree.

When he first arrived at the company, facing more than a hundred unfamiliar faces, Cody was nervous.

But his straight clothes, bright red military cap and epaulettes forced him to straighten his chest firmly and force himself to quickly get into the role.

These days, he has come into contact with every soldier. He now knows everyone’s name, their past, and the reason why they joined the army.

In his opinion, he doesn’t have any special methods. Chat with everyone, understand what they are thinking personally, and then tell them what you think.

Why join the army? Because you want to change the world. No one wants to live in this wasteland world full of disorder, death and hunger. Now there is a savior, the Governor, who has descended from the sky. We must seize this opportunity. This is the only chance to change our own destiny and the destiny of the whole world.

Why do you say that? Cody took his hometown, the Waste Cave Society, as an example.

The people of the Waste Cave Society used to live much worse than the residents of the outer city of Renaissance City and the soldiers of the Alliance. But now in the Waste Cave Society, it goes without saying that everyone lives in a solid house made of cement, has a job and industry, and rumbles heavy industrial machines, mass-producing hope.

Those plastic steel alloys, those machines, engines, car shells… When these things become more and more, it means that people’s lives are getting better and better.

The Waste Cave Society has undergone earth-shaking changes. And why do these people come to Renaissance City? That’s because they want to help the Governor bring these earth-shaking changes to Renaissance City.

These words, Cody said to almost every soldier in the company in these days.

He was patient and sincere.

Then, he set up a soldier committee and let everyone speak their own ideas. He either organized discussions or answered them. Then he selected the most suitable dozen soldiers with the most progressive and firm ideas and asked them to assist the squad leader in their work in various squads.

So, there was a special harvest at that time. A soldier said that there was an underground passage from the inner city to the outer city where he lived before he joined the army. He discovered it by chance and someone was using it for smuggling. He didn’t dare to reveal more before because the person who discovered this with him disappeared in two days because of his big mouth.

But now, he dared to say it.

Then Cody told his old boss about this news. Perbov really made some gains there. It was said that he caught a senior official of the alliance.

Of course, this was just a small episode. Cody didn’t take it too seriously, but continued to focus on talking and communicating with the soldiers.

He didn’t think he was doing any ideological work. He just conveyed his thoughts and ideas to every soldier sincerely and earnestly through various methods.

Then, he was commended by Captain Yan Fangxu for no apparent reason. Captain Yan Fangxu said that he and his company were the best in ideological work and presented them with a banner.

When he brought the banner back, he was greeted with cheers from the entire company.

This might be the sense of team honor that the Governor had told them about during training.

When Captain Yan Fangxu said that he would select a company to be responsible for the task of distributing food, he immediately communicated with the company commander and enthusiastically signed up to participate in the action.

During the mobilization, he made it clear to all the soldiers.

It was just a good thing to distribute food to the whole city so that no one would go hungry; there were rebels and cult members in the city, they were very bad, and they were likely to create chaos, with the goal of using the hunger and death of countless innocent civilians to oppose the Governor’s rule.

What we have to do is to defend the food, defend the results, and smash the conspiracy of those traitors and cult members.

The soldiers fully understood the goal of this battle, and their morale was high.

This made Cody realize something: the Governor said that the soldiers should know what they are fighting for.

Just now, they received a new order: the convoy responsible for transporting grain was attacked when it was transporting grain to the No. 2 distribution point they were responsible for, and they needed their support.

Without saying a word, he communicated with the company commander, and the company commander led a platoon to continue to perform security work at the distribution points where people were already queuing. He led two platoons, about sixty soldiers, to support the transport convoy.

When he arrived at the scene, he found that there was still a firefight ahead.

The people who ambushed the convoy had not succeeded.

The soldiers stationed on the grain trucks had different uniforms from them. They should be a platoon of the 3rd Battalion of the Infantry Regiment. They used vehicles and two houses that they had captured as cover to fight the enemy.

They were under a lot of pressure now. There were many mobs with various clothes next to them, holding various weapons, some simple and some sophisticated, besieging them. There were at least hundreds of them.

Seeing this scene, Cody felt much more relieved.

Fortunately, things did not develop to the point where they could not be handled.

He could see that although the comrades of the 3rd Battalion were a little short of heavy firepower and had to consider the safety of the grain trucks, so they couldn’t break through and rush out, at least they had no problem holding on. Those mobs couldn’t break through either.

But when he got closer, he found that his previous judgment seemed to be a bit wrong.

The comrades of the 3rd Battalion suffered unusually high casualties.

At this time, he saw that among the mobs, there were a few guys who were obviously different from the others. They didn’t have weapons in their hands, but there was white wind and mist condensing in their hands.

After these white wind and mist were thrown out, they would cause a compressed air explosion, and the impact force was almost equivalent to a grenade explosion; the scattered wind blades also looked like shrapnel injuries.

Those should be the so-called cultists.

Cody no longer hesitated, he shouted: “Support our comrades! Comrades, follow me to charge!”
