Samsara Division 2, Samsara Division 6, and Samsara Division 9 were on an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean and had their first confrontation exercise in the jungle of this island. Each division could only send out a thousand troops, but there was no logistical support, including artillery support, reconnaissance aircraft, or base support. It was a complete jungle battle with only one army.
Under such circumstances, the commander of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Barovski, who was used to using heavy artillery, and the large number of soldiers he recruited were basically the first to be eliminated.
The rest of the competition was between General Bareton of the 6th Division and General Zhang Zhen of the 9th Division.
In some ways, General Zhang Zhen had the advantage. After all, guerrilla warfare and jungle warfare were Zhang Zhen's forte when he was in the Red Army. Especially during the war between Z Country and Vietnam, he had trained his troops. Although Zhang Zhen was old at that time and didn't personally command the army, he was still familiar with jungle warfare.
However, Bareton relied on the advantage of elite soldiers to fight evenly with the enemy's commander. To some extent, this was the victory of Bareton's elite soldier policy. In fact, after this exercise, the other two generals had adopted the same recruitment policy. After all, they had only fallen into a misconception before. Once they understood the nature of the Samsara Army, they immediately began to change their minds.
The result of the exercise was that the 6th Division won with a very small advantage. This also meant that the 6th Division would be the first to enter the Outer Planes Battlefield. At the same time, Chu Hao also announced the point system for the Samsara army.
Every time the Samsara army participated in the Outer Planes Battlefield, they would receive 100 points. Every 50 points could be exchanged for a Gaussian semi-automatic rifle. In other words, if the army wanted to change their equipment, they would need to exchange points. At the same time, every 10 points could be exchanged for a year's lifespan potion. Of course, these 100 points were fixed, which meant that as long as the army participated in the war, they would receive points. Then, according to the army's achievements, mission completion, and the number of people sacrificed, they would receive additional points. The number of additional points would even exceed 100 points.
In addition to the army's points, individuals could also receive points. However, the chances of an individual obtaining points were very small. You had to fight bravely and receive medals of various ranks in the army, and you had to be recognized by the army and Chu Hao. Or, you had to pay a great price or achieve great results. Only then could you receive points.
Then, according to military rank, soldiers below the rank of colonel would receive generous monetary rewards. These were bargaining chips in the real world. As for officers above the rank of colonel, they would receive points every year according to their position. Of course, these points weren't much. For example, a division commander's annual salary was 100 points. These were points that could be used by an individual. In other words, if you exchanged for lifespan potions, you could give them to anyone you wanted, even if you gave them back to your own country.
In addition, there was a fixed military salary. For example, a division commander's rank would receive a lifespan potion of 30 years' worth of lifespan, or an equivalent surreal technological service, such as the repair of broken limbs, the cure of terminal illnesses, or other similar services or rewards. These were equivalent to military supplies and were strictly reviewed by the Renegades Organization. Unless it was a division commander or his blood relatives, other people would have to go through an extremely strict review process. There was basically no possibility of loopholes being exploited by the outside world.
This was the current point system that Chu Hao came up with. It was almost half the same as the reward points and side quests in the Lord God Space. Although these people from the outside world couldn't enjoy the benefits of the Lord God Space, as long as they were members of the Samsara army, he was willing to share the benefits of the Lord God Space with them. As long as they approved and maintained the Samsara army system, such a new team would be fine.
In fact, this was already a half-compromise between Chu Hao and the upper echelons of the powerful countries in the outside world. This was because every officer and general had their own fixed salary and benefits, which couldn't be shared with the outside world. Even if these officers and generals were willing, Chu Hao absolutely had to eliminate this slight possibility. It was precisely because he controlled the source of the ultimate benefits that he was able to control this army. Otherwise, why would these war elites with their own countries, politics, religions, and even personal ideals abandon their countries or organizations and come over to listen to an outsider's orders? What right did he have to create and control such a large army? Was it a boast or a bluff? And these surreal benefits were his biggest trump card. This was where he had to completely block. He absolutely couldn't share even a little bit with the outside world.
But relatively speaking, this world was controlled by these powerful countries. To put it bluntly, if they were desperate, it would only take a few days for them to wipe out the Renegades Organization. The Renegades Organization simply couldn't go against the whole world. Now, the upper echelons of these countries were watching and waiting, but their patience was running out. In the face of life and death, everything else was trivial. Even if they knew that the organization here was a branch, even if they knew that wiping out the Renegades Organization was likely to cause a catastrophe, even if they knew … even if they knew all of this, even if their rationality told them that it was impossible, in the face of life and death, even the most heroic people would make mistakes. This had nothing to do with judgment or wisdom, it was only about life and death!
As for the point system, it was actually a message that Chu Hao had released. That was, he was willing to share the benefits of the Lord God with the outside world. Of course, the higher-ups of the big countries and powerful countries didn't know about the existence of the Lord God. However, they were all outstanding individuals. They had a lot of think tanks under them. When the point system was announced, they immediately understood the meaning behind it.
"Send out the best soldiers, the best staff officers, and the best officers. I'll give you an equal return. Of course, this return depends on the situation of the war. In other words, if the war is won, you will also receive war dividends!"
This was enough. War dividends. Even if it was war dividends from the outside world, it was still war dividends!
The upper echelons of these powerful countries heaved a sigh of relief. What they were most afraid of was that all this had nothing to do with them. In other words, the Renegades Organization had recruited their soldiers and officers and used their military facilities and weapons. But all this had nothing to do with them. This was something they couldn't accept. What was the biggest interest rate? Usury? Real estate? Or energy? No, the interest rate of war was the biggest. Of course, it had to be a victorious war!
In this world where order had already begun to solidify, and where nuclear deterrence hung over their heads, a large-scale war was absolutely impossible. Unless the leader of a powerful country had lost his mind and planned to drag all the humans in the world down with him by using the Dongfeng cleaning equipment, it was impossible for a third world war to break out so far. Then, there would be no way to talk about the greatest war dividend.
As early as when the Samsara Army plan was leaked from the Renegades Organization, the leaders of these powerful countries had already paid close attention to it. How could their upper echelons not see that if all this was true and the Samsara Army could really enter the outside world to fight? This might represent the arrival of a new era, the beginning of the colonization of the outside world …
Of course, it was still too early to think about all this. The conditions were not ripe yet. Just like the earliest days of the Age of Discovery, when people still believed that the Earth was a continent and that as long as they sailed to the end of the sea, they would inevitably fall. People's eyes were only focused on the coastal areas, and no one had the courage to sail far away. Now, it was like that time. The Samsara Army plan was just the beginning and the beginning of everything.
But there was a prerequisite for all this, and that was that the Renegades Organization intended to share the war dividends with them and not just treat them as the natives of this world (they had already begun to believe that there was a headquarters of the Renegades Organization in the outside world). This was because the so-called alliance was actually about sharing the benefits. Even a country as powerful as the United States would inevitably share the benefits with these countries when it assembled its NATO alliance. It was just that the distribution of benefits was proportional to the strength of the country. If no benefits were given and one side monopolized, then it would not be called an alliance, but a vassal. No, it would be called a slave!
Therefore, the lifespan potion was only a pretext. Instead, it was the projection of the Planar Era that the major powers saw. For the leaders of these major powers, there was no one in the world who could see more than them in terms of politics. Even if it was just a projection, what kind of people were they? They were the elites of the elites, the heroes of the heroes. Just like Spain and Portugal in the early and middle stages of the Age of Discovery, they were only small European countries, but they almost became the strongest countries in Europe due to the momentum of the Age of Discovery. The arrival of a new era, even if it was only half a step ahead, could lead the future for hundreds or even thousands of years. Such a possibility, even if it was just a tiny bit, was definitely worth facing with the strongest attitude these countries had. All the previous tests were indeed for the sake of the Life Potion, but they were also considered in this aspect.
What kind of attitude did the Renegades Organization have towards them?
Right now, they were more or less satisfied. Although this point system was still in its infancy, the information it revealed was quite important. They wouldn't monopolize everything, but rather share the benefits. This attitude was more than enough. As for the changes to the point system, the future composition of the Samsara army, and even the beginning of the era of planar colonization, all of this would take time.
When Li Ganglei and the Renegades' inspection team met in these countries in an official manner, they erupted with great enthusiasm. Materials, no problem. Money, no problem. Manpower, no problem. Venue, no problem. Technology, no problem. What? More advanced technology? Everyone should interact with each other? No problem!!
While Li Ganglei was busy to the point of wishing he was dead, Chu Hao arrived at the military base of the 6th Division. He was going to display the strength of the World of Samsara there. He was going to tell these proud soldiers what kind of world they were going to face and what kind of war they were going to face …
