Chapter 196 (Part 2): Deal with the foreign friends!
This chapter part had many troublesome terms to translate, so it took longer than usual.

With a straight face, Xu Zhenggang slowly said,
“Captain Yue! I believe that there is a problem with the current establishment of our armed forces! Not including the scum battalion, our current armed personnel have already exceeded 500 men. Using the crude establishment of teams, squadrons, brigades and the like to command the troops to launch a coordinated attack is very problematic. If our armed forces continue increasing, this sort of model is not conducive to our command and control over them. Personally, I think that we should initiate a formalized reorganization of the troops whilst our armed personnel are still not that many in number.”
When Yue Zhong had originally reorganized the teams at Always Bright Village, he didn’t think too much at the time. It was just that he had wanted to organize an elite squad, pass through the zombie hordes and go back to Guangxi to find his loved ones. Yue Zhong didn’t have a military background and he also didn’t have much experience, therefore he only ended up forming a bizarre, crude establishment consisting of a team, squadron and brigade.
(Note: Always Bright Village was where Yue Zhong overthrew Tiger, before he headed to Longhai City Base.)
For searching for supplies and battles on a small scale, this type of crude establishment didn’t have many problems. However, with one glance, professional military officers like Xu Zhenggang would be able to make out the shortcomings of an establishment as such, that it wasn’t conducive to the control and mobilization of a large force. Also, the prospects of promotion for the squad members wasn’t clear enough- being promoted to the official team meant already reaching the peak.
Yue Zhong understood everything instantly.
(岳重一点就透?)
“You mean to carry out a reorganization of the troops in accordance with the establishment and model of the regular army?”
Xu Zhenggang rigidly handed a copy of the information to Yue Zhong.
