CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 300: [REPUBLIC: THE THREE-STEP BANDIT SUPPRESSION]

At this moment.

In the live broadcast room of the Polestar Official Website.

After the plot’s bandit suppression, many Blue Star Players have roughly figured out the general process.

Now they are watching to see if the work after the suppression is thorough or not.

After all, this is a problem that has plagued the Huaxia land for thousands of years.

According to the plot that just started earlier.

The Republic’s process of suppressing bandits, organized by Blue Star Players, is roughly divided into three steps.

First, concentrate forces to strike the most chaotic areas in the Southwest Region and Central South Region.

Encircle the bandits in these places completely.

This step.

The Republic gathered more than 1.5 million elite troops in total, equivalent to 39 armies, to suppress these bandits.

With an overwhelming momentum.

Directly crushing the large-scale bandit dens gathered together.

In an extremely short period of time.

Destroyed many large concentrated bandit groups, smashing the originally deep-rooted bandit dens.

Those bandits became fragments, scattered apart.

Some hid in the deep mountains and forests, some mixed with the civilians, and at this point, the bandit problem still existed and was not completely resolved.

Many Blue Star Players are very familiar with this step.

Because the plot started with this.

What interests Blue Star Players is how the clean-up in other regions and the elimination of these residual bandits is carried out.

In the Southwest Region, Central South Region.

These regions with serious bandit issues are still undergoing heavy assaults.

In some areas with fewer bandits.

With the annihilation of large bandit groups, the remaining small groups of bandits scatter and hide.

For a more meticulous and thorough sweep of these tumors, the Republic’s troops surprisingly divided and assigned regions.

No longer gathering forces on a large scale.

Instead, spreading troops in counties, districts, townships, etc., each company or battalion-level unit is assigned an area.

Once all areas are allocated.

All troops start, like a comb, to comb through every plot of land in their allocated area.

This approach left Blue Star Players dumbfounded.

They had considered and even discussed various methods.

It was unexpected that the Republic would choose such a ’simple way,’ the simplest and most straightforward sifting process.

Each unit is assigned a region.

Sifting over and over again.

If once isn’t enough, then twice, three times, until after several passes no traces of bandits are found, then they would stop.

This method.

Although simple and crude, it’s very effective.

The only trouble might be time and labor.

But compared to the bandit problem, what’s time and labor?

If just time and labor can eradicate bandits.

Then in the history of Huaxia, countless emperors would have wanted to do this.

Because once successful.

That would be an everlasting great achievement.

But no one had such national strength.

To mobilize 1.5 million troops just to suppress bandits.

Throughout Huaxia’s history, no one has been able to do this.

Because what is paid is far more than the return.

So even if they wanted to eradicate bandits, they would be rationally advised against it, as it’s not worth the loss.

But who could have thought.

The Republic did it, not only did it, but also aimed to uproot the foundation that the bandits depended on for survival.

After sifting.

Not just on a military level, eliminating small bandit forces like plowing fields to remove pests,

In towns and villages.

Countless propagandists used the simplest plain language to tell the masses and hidden bandits:

"The main culprits must be punished, accomplices will not be questioned, merits will be rewarded."

To divide and dissolve the internal structure of the bandits.

A very simple slogan.

The phrase "The main culprits must be punished" can shake the mindset of many bandits.

Because there is only one leader.

As long as the leader is punished, they can reform and even receive rewards for meritorious service.

Such temptation offers a new path for many bandits.

Not only are civilians encouraged to report, bandits are encouraged to surrender, and the Liberation Army is also organizing militias in towns and villages.

Involving civilians in standing guard, providing intelligence.

Until all bandits are cleanly eradicated, there should not be a moment of relaxation.

To ensure those bandits have nowhere to hide.

Next, eliminate the deepest hidden residual bandits, landlords, and bullies, powers that seem unrelated to bandits but are actually closely linked.

Through continuous propaganda and suppression.

Many civilians have placed complete trust, spontaneously reporting and exposing.

Unearthing deeply hidden roots of trouble.

With these steps.

In some areas with fewer bandits, their numbers are rapidly decreasing.

The map data in the Polestar Official Website live broadcast room shows this.

In some areas, there are only 20,000 bandits.

But under the Republic’s clean-up, the number of bandits quickly dropped to a few thousand, and it keeps decreasing by tens, hundreds each day.

Evidently, in these places with fewer bandits.

Under such onslaught.

Soon, they will likely be completely cleaned up.

The most important thing is.

This series of measures by the Liberation Army thoroughly uprooted the bandits.

Also organized militias in various towns and villages.

Even if there are a dozen or twenty in the future, there might be no need for the Liberation Army to be deployed; the village youths will handle it.

Because they have gained courage.

Previously, the population didn’t know how to resist, or didn’t dare to resist out of fear.

But now with the Liberation Army as their backing,

those bandits can no longer frighten them.

Fang Ming watched for a while, and already had a rough understanding of the Liberation Army’s bandit suppression.
