Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 645: Selecting Soldiers (Updated 6 yesterday, additional update)

Soon, the end of the year arrived, the recruitment work for 82 was completed, and the training of the recruit company was completed.

Zhao Cheng had already issued orders to the provincial headquarters when the conscription began, asking them to keep a close eye on the new recruits this year and not be fooled by the recruiters.

Moreover, Zhao Cheng also planned to gather all the new recruits from the surrounding provinces and train them again after the training of the new recruit company was completed.

On the one hand, we need to pick out the better ones to join the internal security forces, and on the other hand, we cannot let those new recruits go directly to the company and work with those old soldiers, as they may easily be influenced by them and develop bad habits.

Zhao Cheng was personally in charge of the work in Beiping. It was also here that Zhao Cheng ran into an acquaintance. It seemed that Zhao Cheng knew him, but he did not know Zhao Cheng.

That was the legendary soldier, Captain Tian! He also participated in the new recruit training this time. This was also his first time to participate in new recruit training since joining the army.

Captain Tian has not yet gone to military school for further studies, so he is still just a veteran.

"Mr. Zhao, why did you come here in person?" The person in charge of the training of new recruits was a regimental commander of the military region, but when he saw Zhao Cheng, he had to stand at attention and salute.

"Haha, you have become the regiment commander? I remember that when you came to participate in the special operations brigade selection, you were still a small squad leader, right? So many years have passed, and you have become the regiment commander?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile, looking at the regiment commander in front of him.

"Boss Zhao, my health didn't allow it back then! Otherwise, how could I have become a squadron leader like my old friend?" The regiment commander said with a wry smile.

"Are you and Tie Zhenguo comrades-in-arms? Yes, I remember now. You two are in the same company, but he doesn't lead as many soldiers as you do now!" Zhao Cheng smiled and patted the regiment commander's shoulder.

"That's true, but this kid is not very honest now. He comes to me for no reason, and calls it visiting old comrades. How can I not know his little thoughts? Doesn't he just want to see if there are any good seedlings under my command?" The regiment commander curled his lips, his eyes full of contempt.

"Haha, they are a little behind the Southwest and Jinling Military Regions now. The number of special operations battalions alone is much less than theirs! But this is also Long Chenggong's problem. Who made him insist on having officers?" Zhao Cheng also said with emotion.

Zhao Cheng had actually persuaded Long Chenggong to be more lenient and allow NCOs to join the Beiping Military Region's Special Operations Battalion. Unfortunately, Long Chenggong still believed that the Beiping Military Region's Special Operations Battalion, as a breeding ground for special forces nationwide, was meant to provide qualified candidates for squad and company leaders. Allowing NCOs to join the unit would likely cause significant problems later on. Furthermore, the most important point was that the NCOs' service period was far too short.

However, now that the special forces brigades of various military regions have matured, the recruitment and promotion of officers no longer require the special forces brigades of the Peking Military Region to provide personnel, so Long Chenggong's theories are a bit outdated and are now seeking changes.

"The Long Battalion has now begun to try to reform and plans to recruit some young non-commissioned officers into the special operations battalion. However, this is somewhat unsatisfactory. President Zhao, you should also know that many officers and soldiers in our army are recruited from rural areas. Many of them did not have enough to eat before and for various reasons. After arriving at the army, they need to make up for their physical fitness. However, by the time their bodies have recovered, they have reached age and their physical fitness has declined a lot in all aspects. They have no way to pass the selection at all! It is still too difficult to meet qualified non-commissioned officers now." The regiment commander sighed and said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. When living conditions improve in the future, this problem will be easily solved! By the way, I see that soldier is in good health. How could you bring out a corporal?" Zhao Cheng pointed at Company Commander Tian and said to the regiment commander.

"That boy is indeed not simple. He scored a perfect score with a gun on his first try during the recruit training. I can say that I am the first person with such a shooting talent that I have found in all my years of military service." The regiment commander said with pride.

"Call him over here and let me see him!" Zhao Cheng said to the regiment commander. Zhao Cheng's words immediately made the regiment commander realize that Zhao was now the head of the armed police force. Wouldn't Old Fan Haobing also be shoveling money into his own pocket? What a mistake!

But now there was no time for the regimental commander to think. Zhao Cheng was standing there, so he could only bite the bullet and call Captain Tian over. He hoped that the guy didn't want to leave the army to join the armed police.

Captain Tian, ​​who was called over, looked at the soldier standing in front of him who looked younger than his regimental commander. Although his uniform was neat, he looked quite old.

"Report to the regiment commander, Tian Jianming is here to report! Please give instructions!" Company Commander Tian stood at attention and saluted the regiment commander. Because he didn't know how to address Zhao Cheng, he could only salute the regiment commander.

"At ease! This is General Zhao from the Armed Police Force. He has some questions for you!" The regiment commander emphasized the four words "Armed Police Force" to remind Captain Tian.

Of course Zhao Cheng heard it, but he didn't care. After all, this was just a good soldier seedling. But to be honest, he still had a long way to go before he could become a qualified officer. Moreover, this guy's character was not very good, but his merits outweighed his flaws. Zhao Cheng still wanted to give it a try. If he could turn it around, wouldn't everyone be happy?

"General Zhao!" Captain Tian immediately saluted Zhao Cheng again. He hadn't expected to meet the commander-in-chief of the armed police force here. This was the most senior officer he had ever met.

"I heard from your regimental commander that you, a recruit, were able to get a perfect score in your first attempt at shooting? My shooting skills are not bad either. How about we have a competition?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Captain Tian looked at his regimental commander with some embarrassment. In his opinion, senior officers like Zhao Cheng all thought their marksmanship was excellent, but that was only in the past. There was absolutely no way they could compare to his current skills.

He didn't want to compete with this leader. If he won, the other party would lose face, which would really offend him. How embarrassing would it be for such a high-ranking official to lose to a small soldier like you?

So Captain Tian looked at the regiment commander next to him with a pleading look, hoping that he could come out to mediate and stop the fight. Unfortunately, what he saw was that the regiment commander's face was full of excitement.

"Could it be that the regimental commander has a problem with this chief? Does he want me to teach this chief a lesson and make him lose face? But does the regimental commander have the confidence to face the chief's anger?" Captain Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself.
