Who taught you to be a soldier like this!

Chapter 469: A new student has arrived in the 446th Regiment! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]

"Oh my goodness, Old Wu, it's you, a college student, who has a good brain!"

"Humph, stop doing this!"

Wu Fengxu crossed his arms and showed a very arrogant expression, as if he was disdainful of the heartfelt praise from his old partner.

But the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still revealed his very happy mood at the moment.

However, when they thought of Zhao Weihong who had just arrived, Wu Fengxu's face immediately fell and his mood became extremely depressed.

“What’s wrong with college students?”

"Hasn't our group got another college student? A college student who is both civil and military!"

"Compared to him, my resume is nothing."

"They are the top students who shoulder the future!"

Wu Fengxu's voice sounded very lonely, but without any bitterness.

I don't know whether he was envious of Zhao Weihong's achievements, or sighing for his youthful and ambitious self.

"Hey! Look at what you're saying."

Wei Tao frowned and expressed some disdain for Wu Fengxu, who exuded the kind of "sadness and sadness" that was unique to intellectuals.

"He, Zhao Weihong, is indeed capable. After all, he is the champion of the military games!"

"As soldiers, aren't we focusing on physical quality?"

"But no matter how outstanding he is, he can't influence you, Political Commissar Wu!"

"After all, he is of a different generation than you. Could it be possible that he could take over your position as the political commissar?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fengxu, who had a melancholy face, finally showed a slight smile.

"If that's the case, don't say it's him."

"Even I, the former political commissar, will probably go down in history as a name, right?"

"I'd love to!"

"Hahahaha!"

Along with the hearty laughter of the two chief officers, the window that had been closed for a long time was heavily opened by Wu Fengxu, and fresh air finally rushed in, diluting the hazy smoke in the office and the melancholy in the hearts of the two chief officers.

Now that the attitude towards Zhao Weihong has been determined, there is nothing to worry about.

However, there are still some details that need to be discussed.

Under Wu Fengxu's angry gaze, Wei Tao took out the lighter he had just put in his pocket with a smirk, pinched the cigarette, and asked seriously.

"Old Wu, then what are the specific rules for our 'following'?"

"I've thought about it. If you follow the same discipline methods that other units use for new students and train them every day, I'm afraid it won't be of any use."

"I have inquired about it. He was originally a grassroots student who was promoted through competitions."

"Even if our regiment is a motorized infantry regiment and everyone is a very capable runner, we can't outrun this military games champion!"

"It's secondary to let him look down on our group."

"I'm afraid the commander will think we didn't take his orders seriously, and that would be bad!"

Having said that, Wei Tao took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then let the white smoke come out of his mouth and nostrils.

Coupled with Wei Tao's maroon skin color, for a moment, it made Wei Tao look as if he was angry, and every pore on his face was smoking.

"This kid is a bit arrogant."

"Just now, the fourth company commander came to me to admit his mistake, saying that the foreman of his company was reading a book while on duty, and was caught by Zhao Weihong who had just arrived."

"Not only did he give him a lecture, but he also took away his book."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fengxu immediately showed a stunned expression, and didn't even notice that the cigarette butt in his hand was about to burn between his fingers.

"Is there still this?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Wei Tao stared and continued speaking vaguely in a very painful tone.

"Our combined military service is several decades. When have we ever seen an intern like this?"

"Even without the commander's order, he would have caused problems with other people in the regiment sooner or later because of his arrogance, or should I say, his pride!"

The "others" that Wei Tao mentioned here is not a general term, but a name with a specific target.

It refers to other cadres in the regiment, especially those at the grassroots level.

Zhao Weihong hasn't realized it yet.

There were some things that he just did when he was a soldier, regardless of whether it was a patrol or not.

Not only will it not arouse hostility from others, but it will also gain recognition from others, who will think that Zhao Weihong has a tough style and require others to learn from him.

Because at this time, as a soldier, no matter what Zhao Weihong said or did, in the final analysis, he could only represent himself.

But after becoming a cadre, the situation is quite different.

Regardless of whether Zhao Weihong has a formal position now, his identity as a military officer naturally gives him the role of "leader".

And this "leader" has a very clear "territory."

For example, if Zhao Weihong is going to the Red Second Company for internship now, then everyone in the 446th Regiment will assume that Zhao Weihong is a member of the Red Second Company and represents the entire Red Second Company.

Then the problem is coming.

You are an intern platoon leader of the Red Second Company, not a staff officer of the military affairs section.

Why do you care about my people?
Even if Zhao Weihong gets a job in the Military Affairs Section, his "old job", his internship experience in the Second Red Company will still have an impact on him.

If Zhao Weihong were to discipline officers and soldiers outside the Red Second Company, others would say that he was partial and seeking special treatment, and that he did not care about the disciplinary violations of the Red Second Company at all.

Even if Zhao Weihong treats the officers and soldiers of the Red Second Company equally, others still have something to say!

What about "hypocrisy" and "pretending to be noble"? The Red Second Company was caught with minor problems that were not serious enough, but when it came to other companies, they were severely punished.
Etc., etc.

This is the complexity of grassroots work, especially cadre work.

The reputation, confidence, and most importantly, the future of cadres, especially grassroots cadres, all depend on the troops under their jurisdiction.

As the saying goes, "If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."

Why does patrolling have such a bad reputation among grassroots units?
Of course, some of this is because the police are "inappropriate".

But it is definitely related to some people who lack a broad vision and think that patrolling is just looking for trouble, or even targeting the cadres and chief officers of their own troops!

Zhao Weihong used to be just an ordinary soldier.

Most of the "storms" that came from the cadre level were blocked by Fang Haoran, his direct leader.

Not only could Zhao Weihong not feel it, she was not even aware of it.

But when Zhao Weihong really becomes a "quasi-cadre", he will have to face all these ups and downs on his own.

It concerns the reputation and fame of one's own troops, as well as one's own future.

No cadre would back down in this seemingly calm struggle, even if Zhao Weihong had countless honors.

Military Games champion? First-class hero?
These are all things of the past.

To put it inappropriately, these honors merely qualify Zhao Weihong to stand on the same starting line as other cadres!
The power granted to each of them by the organization is only related to their position and will not change because of their glorious past resume.

In the 446th Regiment.

Zhao Weihong was just an "ordinary" intern, and became an intern platoon leader a year later.

That's it.

In this case, the attitude that the Fourth Company Captain wanted to express by taking the initiative to "admit his mistake" to Wei Tao was very subtle.

The purpose was probably to let Wei Tao know about this matter, so that Wei Tao could restrain or control Zhao Weihong. On the first day of reporting, Zhao Weihong trained the non-commissioned officers of the fourth company.

If this goes on for a few months, won't Zhao Weihong be able to scold anyone he wants?

The battalion commanders do not have such great power!

I have been working at the grassroots level for so many years.

Wei Tao was naturally well aware of the twists and turns in the fourth company commander's mind.

Although he also felt that the fault lay with the foreman of the Fourth Company who did not abide by the duty discipline.

But in Wei Tao's heart, he also agreed with the point that the fourth company commander wanted to express.

If Zhao Weihong doesn't change her character, or the arrogance in her nature, she will definitely run into trouble in the future, and she may even suffer a great loss.

The promotion of grassroots non-commissioned officers requires the participation of officers and soldiers of the entire company and a democratic selection process.

Naturally, this link is indispensable in the promotion and appointment of cadres.

And the attitudes of Zhao Weihong's colleagues, that is, other cadres, play a crucial role in this link!
If anyone voted against Zhao Weihong during the democratic evaluation process because of his style of doing things.

Given Zhao Weihong's personality, she would definitely not care, let alone delve into who this person is.

But his future was definitely affected.

This can be seen from Wei Tao's words and deeds.

He still admires Zhao Weihong very much.

Which leader would not like a capable person?

Naturally, I don’t want Zhao Weihong to fall into these “pitfalls”.

Coupled with Guan Jiwu's special private invitation, Wei Tao really wanted to figure out a way to have the best of both worlds.

It can not only fulfill Guan Jiwu's instructions, but also allow Zhao Weihong to restrain her "arrogance" and realize the complexity of grassroots work and cadre work.

But the methods he came up with were obviously useless for Zhao Weihong, who was both civil and military.

I can only ask for help from the quick-witted Wu Fengxu to see if this political commissar can come up with a better solution.

"Wow! This kid, could it be that he thinks he is a member of the inspection team sent by his superiors?"

"When I have a chance, I really need to ask him what he thinks."

Differences in past experiences, coupled with differences in thinking between each other.

Wei Tao, Wu Fengxu, and the fourth company commander who secretly "complained" Zhao Weihong, had different interpretations of Zhao Weihong's casual behavior, and some even thought that Zhao Weihong was using this incident to "establish his authority!"

But what they don't know is.

Zhao Weihong, who did this, did not have the messy and complicated thoughts as they imagined.

It’s simply because Zhao Weihong can’t stand others violating disciplines.

And Zhao Weihong has actually restrained himself somewhat. At least the foreman is currently staying in the sentry box safely.

If it were USTC or the 347th Regiment, Zhao Weihong would have written his own name upside down if he didn't make the foreman realize his mistake!

Unfortunately, Zhao Weihong's behavior, which he thought was very "considerate", was still unacceptable to the fourth company commander and others.

Even the political commissar Wu Fengxu misunderstood Zhao Weihong, and his words and deeds revealed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Weihong's "high-profile" behavior.

"Our new student seems to have a tough style!"

He gently pushed his glasses up on his nose.

The light that often appeared in Zhao Weihong's pupils suddenly flashed in Wu Fengxu's eyes.

"In that case, let Comrade Zhao Weihong prove how tough his style is."

"Notify the second company commander and ask him to ask Zhao Weihong to strictly abide by the daily life system and not to miss any training sessions. Treat him as a non-commissioned officer. No, train him as a new recruit!"

“Can he accept this?”

Wei Tao hadn't finished his worried words yet.

Wu Fengxu interrupted without allowing any argument.

"What's unacceptable?"

"Strictly speaking, he is not yet a cadre! What's wrong with treating him as a soldier?"

"If you want to destroy his arrogance, you have to let him know that he is not that different from others!"

"Besides, don't we have instructions from the commander?"

"If we do this, won't it be in line with the teacher's principle of 'treating everyone equally and being strict in everything'?"

Even what Wu Fengxu said sounded reasonable.

But Wei Tao still felt that it was not appropriate to let Zhao Weihong, a first-class hero and champion of the military games, undergo the same training as the new recruits.
In Wei Tao's heart, his sixth sense as a commander was even constantly warning him, reminding him not to do this!

But after thinking about it, Wei Tao really couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod with a nervous mood.

"Then let's try it first."

With the instructions from Wei Tao and Wu Fengxu.

The two main officers of the Red Second Company were quite enthusiastic when they received Zhao Weihong.

But after arranging Zhao Weihong to live in Class 1, the sharp knife squad, the two of them still emphasized this to the squad leader in front of Zhao Weihong.

From today on, Zhao Weihong is a new member of Class 1, a new recruit. Not only does he have to train with Class 1, but he will also be assigned his own sanitation area, and even go on business trips, and so on.

In short, except for the cadet rank clearly visible on his shoulder.

There is no difference between Zhao Weihong and the ordinary soldiers in Class 1.

Upon hearing this, the squad leader agreed with a firm expression, but he was cursing in his heart.

Let me be the squad leader for the military games champion and first-class hero?

Are you two serious?
On the contrary, Zhao Weihong, the person involved, didn't care about this arrangement, and even felt it in his heart.

As it should be.

Immediately, Zhao Weihong declined the help of others and silently made his bed and packed his luggage.

Except at dinner time, there was an extra set of bowls and chopsticks on Class 1's table and an extra figure on the seat.

Zhao Weihong's arrival did not cause the expected sensation in the Red Second Company.

At least not on the first day.

The next morning.

Zhao Weihong opened her eyes from the creaking steel bed and looked at the dark night outside the window.

Around him, there were the sounds of a group of soldiers breathing, and from time to time, there were the sounds of cicadas outside the window.

Seeing this, a happy arc suddenly appeared at the corner of Zhao Weihong's mouth, and then she got up alone in the dark, washed, and tidied her room.

After leaving an impeccable bed, Zhao Weihong, neatly dressed, went outside alone, ready to measure every inch of the 446th Regiment's base with her own feet.

The sound of brisk footsteps suddenly rang out, breaking the last silence before dawn.

When the first ray of sunlight breaks through the night.

Zhao Weihong walked briskly, concentrated his energy on his dantian, faced the rising sun, and shouted out the long-lost slogan!

"one two three four!"

The loud slogans reached the sky, solemnly declaring to everyone in the base!

446th Regiment.

A new student has arrived!
