When Erica told in an understatement that she and Andy were over, Iger was surprised, but not that surprised.
After all, Iger had already seen the signs of this happening.
For example, when Andy and I met Erica, Erica stopped saying hello to Andy.
For example, Erica no longer sat with Andy during the meal.
For example, Andy has been working overtime on the fourth floor more recently.
Andy and Erica are actually not a good match. Not only are they very different in age, but the key is that their personalities are completely incompatible.
Andy likes to do things strategically and then act, while Erica likes to go head-to-head.
Andy and Erica were able to get together in the first place solely because they shared a common sad experience. However, love will gradually fade away, and so will sadness.
When all those feelings faded, the relationship between Andy and Erica also gradually faded.
This is America, and these are Americans, and they can fall in love with someone at any time, and they can fall out of love with someone at any time.
This is why Iger had to set a condition for Thomas when he asked him to quit the back office. In this regard, Iger had to set some "sunk costs" for Thomas.
More than ten minutes later, everyone had finished eating, and the new group members couldn't help but gather and sit together.
Many interesting things can be seen from the distribution of people during breaks. This team has a good cohesion and can subconsciously form a group when external threats are unknown.
Egger is very optimistic about these new members. They are people who have truly survived many death screenings. Whether it is ability or luck, they can escape death many times. This is their ability.
In the gospel team, what makes Aige most proud is that most of the old members have not experienced life and death screening. It is the field team that has protected their safety and allowed many people who "shouldn't" survive to survive.
At the same time, what gives Aige the biggest headache is that most of the old members have not experienced life and death screening, so their thinking is still partially stuck in the past.
The team in front of him belongs to him, and it is a team with a completely different path from the gospel team. In terms of strength, they are not bad.
Iger is confident that he can lead this team well, but he has no confidence.
The reason why Iger has no confidence is that Iger has never been a "chief officer".
Many people think that it is very easy to be the chief official, just open your mouth and be done with it.
If this is really the case, that team must be really doomed.
As a deputy, most of the time, you can use your strengths as you like. Simply put, you can do whatever you want. Once there is a deviation, there will be someone next to you who will apply the brakes. This person is the chief officer.
When to apply the brakes and when to release the brakes, this is the art of leadership.
Too much trust in subordinates leads to failure to apply the brakes when it is time to apply the brakes, resulting in too many car crashes and fatalities.
If you don't trust your subordinates and slam on the brakes when you shouldn't, there will be more things that cause the team to stall.
But the chief officer steered the car by himself, that is, he stopped braking.
Why did the Doomsday Salvation Army, whose average personnel ability was stronger than that of the Evangelical Team and whose overall strength was not weak, be beaten so badly? On the one hand, it was because Scar Miles underestimated Egger’s lack of martial ethics and also underestimated the strength of Jixi Town Fortress.
Defense capabilities.
However, if there was just one person in their team who put the brakes on everyone, a large group of people would not rush towards the fortress while listening to Scar Miles casually telling a ridiculously risky plan.
The second major responsibility of the chief officer is to assume decision-making responsibility and handle internal conflicts.
This seems much easier, but in fact it is not simple at all.
It would be too naive to think that you can lead dozens of people and build a beautiful home in this apocalyptic world just by raising your arms.
Blind John is dedicated to the team and has made very forward-looking decisions. It can be said that he is about to create a bright future for the Holy Light Salvation Church.
Blind John bravely took on the risks and responsibilities of decision-making, but failed to handle the internal conflicts well. However, as a result, one man fell and the government collapsed.
Erica came to help Iger when he was least confident. No matter whether it was cruel to Andy or not, it was a good thing for him, and it was a great thing.
After a long time, there was a roar of cars, and two pickup trucks and a motorcycle bumped over on the grass.
Iger looked at the watch, 15:48, not bad, pretty fast.
At 14:00, Lily made a clear call to the field team on the radio. After hearing the call, the field team quickly withdrew from Ross Town.
With so many new members undergoing intensive training, Aige is not so silly and dares to train without guards. Since he has to call Pi De back anyway, it is better to call the field team back together, so that everyone can get familiar with each other.
There is also the need to reorganize the field team, which requires giving Nicholas some more time.
"Hi, Peter." Egg said to Peter. He pointed at the new group of members and said, "From now on, you will be their assistant instructor. You go and gather the people."
"Yes, sir!" Pi De saluted Ige excitedly, and the freckles on his face turned red with excitement.
Afterwards, Pi ran toward the new group of members with standard running movements, and Aigela passed Nicholas to make simple task arrangements.
"That's it, now you need to re-establish the field team." Egg said to Nicholas: "It depends on whether you choose from the internal staff or the security team. You can tell Erica about this.
I suggest that the newly formed field team can be sent to Ross Town first, so that they can get used to it and help us look after our home.
As for field work in the red zone, you make your own decision. Come on."
After Iger finished speaking, he patted Nicholas on the arm.
"Thank you for your support, Captain." Nicholas said with respect.
Listening to the conversation between Egger and Nicholas, the other field team members learned that a new reclamation group was to be established.
This matter was relatively big, and Father Locke personally gave Lily a hush order. Lily only told on the radio that the attitudes of the gospel team and the Rose Town team had softened, and that they were re-discussing the defense alliance.
At 14:00, Lily called the field team stationed in Ross Town and ordered the field team to withdraw. After the field team withdrew, the guard guarding the gate informed them to gather in the field here.
After learning that they and others were going to join a new regiment to garrison in Ross Town, the field team members were all calm. Anyway, they would go wherever the captain went. Only Bill suppressed his excitement and listened carefully to what Egg told Nicholas.
.
The gospel team wants to establish a new group, and my younger brother is the leader.
Although Bill didn't know the saying "One person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", he instinctively knew that he was going to be prosperous.
Pi De quickly gathered the team and arranged them in three square rows.
"The team is assembled, sir." Pide trotted over and saluted Egg before saying.
"Come on, let's go there." Iger led everyone over, and he asked the field team except Nicholas to line up and stand on the other side.
Afterwards, Egger began to speak to the new members: "The Gospel Reclamation Group is now officially established. Let me introduce to you, this is Instructor Erica. Everyone welcomes Instructor Erica's speech."
Driven by Egger's speech, the new members clapped mechanically a few times but feebly.
Erica adjusted her clothes, took a few steps forward, turned around and saluted the new team members, and then said: "Hello everyone. Starting from tomorrow, I will teach you professional security knowledge and skills. Okay.
Okay, my speech is over."
Egg pointed at the old field team member and said: "This is the first team of our reclamation regiment, Captain Bill." Then, Iger said to the new members of the reclamation regiment: "Everyone, remember where you are now, starting from the first row, respectively.
For the second brigade, the third brigade and the fourth brigade.”
Originally, Egg was planning to continue to form a 4-person formation, but Pi De had already arranged the people into three neat rows, so let's divide them into three brigades. Three-nine-twenty-seven, three-three equals nine, which is just right.
"Now I'll give you 1 minute to discuss on the spot. Each brigade will elect an acting captain. If anyone wants to recommend themselves, you can do it. Don't disband, let's discuss on the spot."
As soon as Egger's order was issued, the new team members looked at each other. Everyone knew that a new team had just been established and what it meant to be the acting captain.
Iger gave the right to make the selection without giving too much time, so that they did not want to think too much and make subconscious choices. After all, they are all old acquaintances who get along day and night, and there is no need for a process of getting to know each other.
This kind of subconscious choice will either select the person who has the most ability to convince the public, or select the good person who is most acceptable to everyone.
One is the best choice and the other is the least bad choice.
Egger turned his head and said to Erica: "Erica, go and do other things first. There is enough room here to control the situation."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Erica replied.
"See you tomorrow."
Erica gathered the security team and retreated towards Jixi Town.
Erica still has a lot to do today. She needs to make follow-up arrangements for the internal team. At least she has to elect a new captain.
Also leaving with Erica was Nicholas, who decided to recruit people from the security team. The two were discussing candidates, and the final results would be reported to the board of directors.
When the minute was up, Pi De called the group again and arranged the formation. It was obvious that he was enjoying it. At this time, Pi De had a skill that had been buried for many years and he finally had a sense of fun today.
Soon, the three brigades selected their own candidates, and then Egger asked the three acting captains to select 2 of their deputies from their own teams, and then form 3 teams of 3 people in the brigades.
Let’s reorganize this new group of members first, and then see what to do.
Egger does not want to establish an organization similar to the army or militia, which is efficient but lacks vitality.
The Reclamation Corps is not a purely military cannon fodder group. If we want long-term peace and stability, we still have to allow everyone to return to their daily lives as much as possible.
As for the future structure of this group, Iger decided to take it one step at a time, or directly apply the model of the gospel team.
Egger looked at his watch and saw that it was 16:11, about 3 hours before dark.
"Everyone, set off towards the Jixi Town Fortress." Egg ordered.
There were still many things to do today, and he didn't want to go without dinner on the first day of the group's formation.
