Although the officers of the Dawn Army looked at Shen Ruihui, Ye Fan seemed not to notice. Seeing no one speaking, he began giving orders directly.

"Now, I officially announce the appointments."

"Wang Hu is appointed as the commander of the First Field Corps."

Wang Hu was the first Red Alert Soldier produced by Ye Fan, and is now a Heroic Unit, directly appointed as the first regiment commander.

"The commander of the Second Regiment will be Xu Haoran."

Xu Haoran was the first Scout, even before Shen Ruihui emerged, and is now appointed as the second regiment commander.

"Luo Fei is appointed as the commander of the Third Regiment."

"Chen Chuan is appointed as the commander of the Fourth Regiment."

Luo Fei was the first Army Soldier, and Chen Chuan was the first Sniper. Both are old subordinates who have followed Ye Fan since the beginning.

"In addition to the four field corps, with the new construction of Dawn City, city defense is also crucial. We need to establish a City Guard unit to oversee the security of Dawn City and the surrounding areas, with Wang Aiyu as the commander."

"All sentry towers in the city, Light Prism Towers, Giant Cannons, Machine Gun Bunkers, Air Defense Missile Systems, and so forth will fall under the jurisdiction of the City Guard unit."

Wang Aiyu was the first Flamethrower Warrior, an excellent choice for city defense.

"Additionally, we need to establish a Land Air Force Group. All helicopters, transport planes, and paratroopers will be reassigned to the Land Air Force Group, with Tang Yafei as the commander and Mo Yue as the deputy commander."

Tang Yafei was the first Hero Level Combat Helicopter pilot, now serving as commander, and Mo Yue, the first paratrooper and now a Three-Star Soldier, is appointed deputy commander of the Land Air Force Group.

"All our armored units will be incorporated into an Armored Battalion. This battalion will consist of one hundred tanks, led by Liu Chengjun. Once we expand to three Armored Battalions, it will be upgraded to a regiment."

Liu Chengjun was the first Armored Soldier, consistently commanding the armored units, making this appointment unsurprising.

"Our Engineer Corps currently has five hundred members. Initially, an Engineer Battalion will be formed. As the number increases, we will establish a regiment, commanded by Huang Jie."

Huang Jie was the first Engineer, specializing in constructing roads, bridges, buildings, and other mechanical operations, making him well-suited for the role of commander.

"An Artillery Battalion will be established, comprising fifty mortars, fifty howitzers, and fifty rocket launchers, with Lin Jingcheng as the commander."

Lin Jingcheng was the first Mortar Soldier, now assigned as battalion commander.

"An Air Force Squadron will be established, with a squadron leader equivalent to a battalion commander. Each squadron will include thirty fighter jets, led by Shen Long."

Shen Long is the first Attack-8 Fighter pilot, although there are currently only two planes.

After making these appointments, Ye Fan thought about the special forces.

Currently, the special forces soldiers were incorporated into the Guard Company, but they should have a dedicated unit.

"The Dawn Army's Dragon Teeth Special Operations Team will be established for executing special combat missions, led by Chen Fei, with Zhuo Yichen as the deputy commander. The rank is battalion level, comprising two hundred personnel."

Chen Fei and Zhuo Yichen were also the first and second special forces soldiers, now receiving appointments.

"Additionally, my Guard Company should be upgraded to a Guard Battalion, with the battalion commander being....."

Ye Fan looked at Shen Ruihui, and Shen Ruihui immediately straightened up: "Sir, I think Zhuge Yunxue has performed excellently and could be considered for the role of the battalion commander. I can take on some other more important work."

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment but respected Shen Ruihui's suggestion: "Alright, Zhuge Yunxue will be the battalion commander, with Shen Ruihui assigned elsewhere."

"However, due to a shortage of funds, it will temporarily remain at company strength until more funds are available to fill the Guard Battalion."

Ye Fan continued with further arrangements.

"Armored cars will not be included in the Armored Battalion and will be directly allocated to each field unit. Each field corps must be equipped with transport vehicles, and each company should have three armored cars and three transport vehicles to ensure no soldier has to walk."

"Military dogs and War Hawks must also be adequately distributed among each corps. Each corps has a limit of four thousand personnel. Currently, we will fully staff the combat personnel, integrate with the cooking and medical units, and each corps will initially be staffed to a strength of two thousand five hundred to form combat power."

"Our field units are meant for combat. Once the four field corps are formed, they will immediately set out, terminating zombies within the Spy Satellite, clearing out zombies in villages and towns, then gradually attacking county towns, clearing an area around Dawn City to establish a safe zone, ensuring safety for spring sowing."

Ye Fan never forgot about farming. The current food supply is limited, and planting must commence in the spring, necessitating a large safe zone. The field units shouldn't remain idle at home; they need to be deployed.

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Fan issued another order.

"John's foreign mercenary company will be expanded to a battalion, and they'll be sent out to explore beyond here. I suspect that there are other large base cities elsewhere, and we need to know external information."

"Zhang Kunlin is officially appointed as the logistics officer, managing all military-related industries for the Dawn Army, such as the Power Plant, Water Plant, Ordnance Factory, and logistics warehouses, overseeing all material allocation duties, with a rank equivalent to a regiment."

"The Military Staff Department is officially established, with Zhongjing as the Chief of Staff, responsible for tactical planning, combat deployment, new recruit training, officer training, and other tasks, positioned at regiment level."

"Xiao Jing will serve as the director of the field hospital, and He Xiaoting as the deputy director, with positions at the battalion level."

Xiao Jing and He Xiaoting were the first two medical women soldiers to come out when there might have been a system error, and now they have officially been granted military ranks.

With the arrangements up to this point, all units of the Dawn Army have been basically deployed.

The four field corps currently number ten thousand, the City Guard Corps has two thousand five hundred people, and the Land Air Force Group currently has one thousand personnel.

With other troops added, the current total is fifteen thousand people.

This number is actually seriously under-strength, but Ye Fan hasn't continued mass-enlistment; there is still too little money on hand.

At present, the field corps must be immediately sent out to battle, and then accelerate city construction.

At this time, Zhang Kunlin suggested that a police station should be set up within Dawn City to maintain daily public order, as it would be impractical to rely on the garrison for everything.

Ye Fan nodded and then issued an appointment for the police station.

"Tan Qiaoge, since you're originally a scout, you will be the chief of this police station. The police station will be staffed according to the size of a battalion with five hundred and fifty people. Key positions must be filled with our Red Alert soldiers, but most positions can be filled by recruiting survivors, because for many city affairs, some survivors know more than our soldiers, and their power is indispensable."

Scout Tan Qiaoge, the third scout in the Dawn Army, came out with Shen Ruihui and nodded immediately: "Sir, I will dedicate myself to the task."

"Yes, be aware that our city's scale will rapidly expand. We won this zombie siege, and surely some survivors will come to seek refuge. Dawn City will soon thrive. The city's public order will not be easy to maintain, especially with many external forces possibly infiltrating. Everything should be done with caution."

Tan Qiaoge nodded in agreement, and Ye Fan added a hundred subordinates for him on the spot, including twenty scouts and eighty conscripts.

He demanded that these soldiers quickly reach Three-star status, then immediately enter the police station.

As for the selection and construction of the police station, Tan Qiaoge was instructed to communicate with the engineering unit to establish both the police station and the bank as soon as possible.

At the meeting's end, Ye Fan discussed many issues with everyone.

Such as the issues on Guo Zhun's side, Li Yuntian's side, and also about foreign issues on Rikov's side.

There was much discussion about the future direction and actions of the Dawn Army.

Wang Aiyu, who served as the captain of the City Guard Corps, suggested that even if Dawn City expands, a whole corps is not needed for its defense. After all, Ye Fan had already incorporated all soldiers from watchtowers and machine gun bunkers into the City Guard. More forces should be allocated to establish border checkpoints once the safety zone is cleared.

Establishing checkpoints would supervise passing caravans and adventurers.

This is also a means of area expansion. Although the area seems of little value now, as zombies are gradually wiped out, these areas will eventually be utilized. Where Dawn Army builds a checkpoint, the territory expands.

Ye Fan agreed with this idea, allowing the City Guard troops to disperse. A squad is generally sufficient for a small checkpoint; larger checkpoints can accommodate a platoon.

The meeting continued late into the night, even continuing during a meal at Ye Fan's residence. By late night, Ye Fan was finally somewhat drowsy and prepared to adjourn the meeting.

At this moment, Shen Ruihui, who had been listening intently, became anxious.

How come the commander arranged tasks all around but forgot about him?

He immediately coughed twice: "Sir, I am ready."

Only then did Ye Fan remember Shen Ruihui, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

This guy had achieved many merits and was initially intended for the Guard Company's command, but it had been deferred to Zhuge Yunxue, leading to forgetting him.

However, for a regiment-level position, the Dawn Army had none left.

After thinking for a while, Ye Fan finally came up with a position.

"Shen Ruihui."

"Present!"

"I appoint you as the Director of the Dawn Army's Military Intelligence Bureau, with a regiment-level position, responsible for our army's intelligence collection, infiltration behind enemy lines, and counter-espionage operations. I hope you can make achievements in your new post, at least clarifying the surrounding forces for our future military actions."

Hearing this, the previously dazed Shen Ruihui suddenly felt invigorated, promptly standing at attention to respond: "Rest assured, Sir, I will do my best!"

After speaking, he quietly asked: "Where is my office? What about subordinates?"

"The office can be selected within the city, but it should not be in a visible place. As for subordinates... all our spies are under your command. Currently, we have two spies: Duanmu Xiaoyu from Hai Shan Wei, who is now openly Rikov's woman, you can contact her, and another is Chen Lan, who played my role temporarily when Xu Weiwei and others came over. She can now be under your command. For now, we are in the initial stage of development. Once funds are sufficient, I will equip you with more subordinates."

"Alright, adjourn the meeting!"

Following Ye Fan's order, all officers saluted and adjourned.

The newly appointed Director Shen of the Bureau of Military Intelligence walked out of the meeting room alone, not knowing whether to feel joy or worry for a moment.
