Chapter 476: Damn it! Stop the platoon leader! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]

Zhao Weihong is a stubborn person.

Always.

It’s not that no one has said something similar to Wu Fengxu’s, warning Zhao Weihong to recognize the possible gap between ideals and reality.

But Zhao Weihong always uses his iron-clad faith and practical actions to tell others that he has the ability to turn ideals into reality.

But this time.
Zhao Weihong didn't know how to refute Wu Fengxu.

Or rather, he simply didn't know what to say.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe as long as a century, or maybe just a brief moment.

Zhao Weihong, standing in place, finally broke free from her chaotic thoughts.

His eyes, which usually were always bright and energetic, were now filled with deep powerlessness and confusion.

"Aren't our regiment and the 347th Regiment both ace troops?"

“Why is there such a big difference?”

The voice just fell.

In front of Zhao Weihong, there was a cigarette handed to him by Wu Fengxu.

After only a brief hesitation, Zhao Weihong took the cigarette, lit it with his fingertips, and then took a long puff with some trembling.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, what happened today is almost not worth mentioning.

But for Zhao Weihong, it deeply shook the things he had always believed in and insisted on.

Simply put, before today, the world in Zhao Weihong's eyes was clearly divided.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, there is no third way or third choice.

But today, Wu Fengxu presented another possibility to Zhao Weihong.

Except for "black and white".

In this world, there is still "gray" that cannot be defined.

There was a voice in Zhao Weihong's mind that kept repeating and shouting.

No matter how much Wu Fengxu said, it was wrong for him to transfer the food expenses to someone else!
But there was another cold and clear voice, reminding Zhao Weihong without any emotion.

If he were replaced by Wu Fengxu, he would have no choice but to do this.

There is no other choice.

Two soldiers, who were nearly twenty years apart in age, were smoking silently in a corner of the camp.

It was not until the blazing flame of the cigarette was about to burn to his fingertips that Wu Fengxu spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Don't underestimate our regiment because it's a motorized infantry regiment."

"But if our regiment is on the defensive, no one can break through the position we are defending until the last person in the regiment is killed!"

"But the title of the ace regiment does not allow our regiment to get even a dime more funding from the superiors."

"I have never been to the 347th Regiment, but I should be able to answer your question."

Pinch the cigarette butt between your fingertips and crush it hard.

Wu Fengxu put the cigarette butt into his pocket very naturally, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.

"Because the 347th Regiment is an open unit to the outside world."

Zhao Weihong: “!!!”

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Because the 347th Regiment is an open unit, it is a window and a business card for the Yan State Army to show itself to the outside world.

Therefore, although the 347th Regiment cannot be the first to be equipped with the most advanced weapons, it can have the best barracks environment. The repair and maintenance of the barracks does not require the 347th Regiment or even the 116th Division to worry about it, but will be covered by special funds.

So when Zhao Weihong was in the 347th Regiment, he never heard Chang Dingfang and others worrying or complaining about funding.

Even in this era when military expenditure has not increased significantly but the navy and air force have to be built on a large scale, the 347th Regiment as the army does not seem to have made much "sacrifice". It has merely undergone a reorganization, and its life has become much better after the reform.

But the 446th Regiment, which is located in a remote area and is little known, obviously cannot enjoy these benefits.

In other words, the 446th Regiment is a living "miniature" of the troops that made sacrifices during the reform.

In this era of rapid economic development.

Every penny invested in the investment and construction fields will generate rich returns in a few years.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for military spending to be significantly increased.

Putting economic development at the center of everything has never been just a slogan on paper.

However, the real national defense pressure will not weaken with the development of Yan's economy. On the contrary, it will greatly increase the pressure faced by Yan in the international arena.

If a child carries gold through a busy street, it will be a bad omen!
Therefore, Yan State’s military forces must be developed, especially the backward navy and air force must be built up.

At the educational meeting on "unifying reform ideas".

Zhao Weihong, who was still a new recruit at that time, thought that the several disbanded group armies and the officers and soldiers of the 347th Regiment who were forced to retire early were the sacrifices that the army had to make in this reform.

But no one ever told Zhao Weihong.

In fact, those who stayed behind were also making “sacrifices.”

In the military budget, except for necessary expenses such as food expenses, almost all liquid funds are allocated to the research and development of new equipment and the construction of the navy and air force.

Countless times.

Wu Fengxu and Wei Tao's eyes turned red and they slammed the table.

If for no other reason than to obtain a grant to improve the living conditions of the soldiers.

But the only answer given to the two of them was those three helpless and desperate words.

hold on.

Once I have money, I will solve the difficulties your unit is facing as soon as possible!
But the officers and soldiers of the 446th Regiment waited and waited, and the soldiers in the barracks were replaced batch after batch.

Wu Fengxu and Wei Tao still only got those three words.

hold on.

As a regimental commander.

Whether it is Wu Fengxu or Wei Tao, they all understand the difficulties of their superiors.

Just as Wu Fengxu said.

The pipelines in Hong Erlian are aging and need repair.

Isn't it the same for other companies in the regiment?

The same reason.

The barracks of the 446th Regiment is aging, and they applied for renovation.

The same is true for the other regiments of the 116th Division, the Bashu Military Region, and even all the troops of the Yan Kingdom.
The 446th Division could not find the funds to renovate and repair the barracks of the 116th Regiment, but the th Army Group could still squeeze out some money if they gritted their teeth.

But the 446th Regiment is not the only unit under the Thirteenth Army Group!
Now that the 446th Regiment has been given an opportunity, do we also have to take care of other units in the army?
The funds required would add up to an astronomical figure, and we could only report it and ask the military district to solve it.

This seemingly easy-to-solve problem, after being reported layer by layer, eventually became an almost unsolvable problem!

In fact, it is not that difficult to solve. It is just a matter of money.

Many troops even said that they did not need to bid, they only needed their superiors to allocate funds and buy materials for them, and they could renovate and repair the barracks themselves.

But what the Yan State’s troops lack most now is money.

The reason why Deputy Chief Wei is so popular is because this old man has the ability to "spend every penny wisely".

But faced with this kind of unplanned expenditure which is almost a "historical legacy", not to mention Deputy Chief Wei, even the heads of the various troops under him could not convince themselves to use the funds that should have been used for national defense construction to repair the barracks!
Although the camp is dilapidated, it can still shelter people from wind and rain and be used for living.

But if the development of new equipment and the construction of the navy and air force are delayed, their generation will
No redemption is possible even if you die a hundred times!

same.

Although the food of the 446th Regiment was a bit shabby, it was still enough to fill the stomach.

But if some unplanned expenses are not spent, it will delay training and affect the development of the troops!

If possible, the political commissar Wu Fengxu also wants his soldiers to "eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks" every day. Isn't that just being forced into a desperate situation?
"Come with me."

Looking at the silent Zhao Weihong, Wu Fengxu didn't say anything more, but went straight to the Finance Department of the regiment.

Without asking Zhao Weihong whether she could understand the account book, Wu Fengxu ordered several assistants in the Finance Department to find out the financial income and expenditure details of the past quarter and put them in front of Zhao Weihong.

If you don't become a householder, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

Before today, Zhao Weihong only had a relatively vague concept of financial work.

But after taking a look today, Zhao Weihong discovered that seemingly ordinary expenses like "washing powder and toilet paper" would still converge into a jaw-dropping and exaggerated figure after being magnified to a scale of more than a dozen companies and more than 3,000 people!

of course.

The account book alone is not enough to prove that what Wu Fengxu said is all true.

But Zhao Weihong no longer questioned him.

Zhao Weihong was clearly aware of this because of Wu Fengxu's personal action of going to the breeding team to busy himself this morning.

Wu Fengxu is a competent political commissar, a qualified soldier, and a well-deserved comrade of Zhao Weihong!
"Wei Hong, you have already seen everything that needs to be seen."

"I know you are more capable than me, the political commissar."

"If possible, I also hope that you can represent our 446th Regiment and report to your superiors the difficulties our regiment is facing."

“No matter whether these difficulties can be solved in the end.”

"On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of our regiment, I would like to thank you for your help and dedication."

Say it.

Wu Fengxu took a step back suddenly and, in front of several assistants, gave Zhao Weihong a solemn and heavy military salute!
"."

Zhao Weihong clenched his fists unconsciously, looked at Wu Fengxu, whose eyes seemed to have tears, raised his hand silently, and returned a military salute that felt heavy for the first time in his life.

"No excuses."

Declined Wu Fengxu's offer of farewell.

Zhao Weihong went straight back to the Second Red Company.

Behind the cramped bungalow, several recruits were practicing with equipment under the guidance of veterans and non-commissioned officers, with bitter looks on their faces.

Through the glass, you can see someone arranging the furnishings in the classroom, or carefully cleaning up in preparation for the upcoming housekeeping and hygiene inspection.

The dormitory in front of me is shabby and dilapidated.

But it is still the place where they have devoted their entire military career, and where they are willing to defend it with their blood and lives.

Zhao Weihong stood there silently, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

perhaps.

He never became a "completely" qualified soldier.

All along, Zhao Weihong just wanted to do his best within the "one acre and three points of land" within his sight.

But it was not until today that Zhao Weihong realized it belatedly.

This road called "military journey" is much broader than I imagined.

The conditions in the 446th Regiment were already difficult.

But Zhao Weihong can be sure.

In Yan Country, no, just in the Bashu military region, there are definitely troops that are far more miserable than the 446th Regiment!

But no matter what the conditions are.

This group of the most lovely people still used their youth and the best years of their lives to build an "indestructible wall" stretching across the southwestern border, keeping all the evil spirits out of the country!

The second day at the 446th Regiment.

After three years of advanced studies in the ivory tower, Zhao Weihong "woke up" from the advanced theories and cutting-edge knowledge, and focused on the most authentic meaning of the word "soldier".

No one knows what conclusions Zhao Weihong can come to or what gains he can get from this thinking.

But now, Zhao Weihong feels that she should go for another walk.

Take a look.

"Platoon leader, everyone has called for you."

"Do you want to hold the meeting now, or wait until the housekeeping inspection is over?"

Wang Fei noticed Zhao Weihong returning alone, and immediately came out to greet her. He carefully asked Zhao Weihong about her next arrangements, and also quietly observed Zhao Weihong's expression.

Wang Fei could not see any clues from Zhao Weihong's expressionless face.

But Wang Fei clearly felt that this platoon leader, who was so sharp and seemed to be soaring in the sky, was a little different.

If I have to choose a word to describe the changes in Zhao Weihong.

Then Wang Fei could only think of four words.

Back to Basics.

"Inspection? Meeting?"

Under Wang Fei's anxious gaze, Zhao Weihong, who had already made up her mind, finally spoke.

“There’s no rush now.”

As he spoke, Zhao Weihong suddenly stood at attention and spoke very seriously to Wang Fei, who had a panicked look on his face.

"Comrade Wang Fei!"

"I apologize to you for my arrogant and unrealistic behavior this morning!"

Seeing this, Wang Fei didn't feel honored at all. Instead, he was almost scared to death!
"Platoon leader, what are you doing?!"

"I didn't do anything, I really don't deserve it"

Wang Fei hasn't finished speaking yet.

Zhao Weihong then dropped another "blockbuster bomb" on him!

"I don't think I'm qualified enough to be the platoon leader of the 446th Regiment, your platoon leader!"

If what Zhao Weihong said just now gave Wang Fei a scare.

His clear statement had already made Wang Fei feel terrified!
"Platoon leader, what are you doing?"

“This is only your first day of internship.”

“It’s because of my internship that I’ve just begun.”

"So I have the opportunity and time to correct my mistakes."

After saying that, Zhao Weihong once again sincerely thanked Wang Fei, and then expressed his gratitude with every word.

"Anyway, thank you and the political commissar for your reminder."

"Please give the political commissar a message for me."

"I will definitely find a way to solve the problem I promised him!"

"Platoon leader."

Patted Wang Fei on the shoulder.

Zhao Weihong left Wang Fei, who was stunned, where he was and strode back to the dormitory.

Then, under the astonished gaze of Wang Fei and the entire team, they packed their luggage.
"Fuck!"

"Don't look! Stop the platoon leader!"

"Platoon leader, what are you doing?"

"Why are you leaving just like that?"

At this moment, Wang Fei was really scared!
Two years! Two whole years!
The 446th Regiment finally got a trainee platoon leader, but after only one day, he has to pack up and leave!

No matter what Zhao Weihong thinks or what he is going to do.

Wang Fei has to stop him!

Otherwise, if this matter gets out, what will others think of their 446th Regiment? What will they think of their 149th Division?
