If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?
Chapter 102 Quan Douyu is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!
Captain Jeon, whose real name is Jeon Doo-woo, is 44 years old this year. He is a deputy battalion commander in the 12st Airborne Brigade of South Korea, with the rank of captain. He was not good at studying since childhood. He studied until midnight every day at military school, but his grades were still at the bottom of the class.
He finally graduated, but because he had no connections or background, he was like a nobody in the army. In addition, he was more than ten years older than the other trainees in his class, so he was regarded as having no potential. As a result, he spent more than ten years in the First Airborne Brigade and was still just a small captain and deputy battalion commander.
He was noticed by Li Mingbo by chance and pulled into the Tongxin Society, becoming one of its members. In the Tongxin Society, he and Jiang Haixiong were the oldest.
When people reach middle age and are frustrated and have almost given up hope of climbing the social ladder, joining the Tongxin Society is just a last resort. At least they can find solace and support with a group of equally frustrated companions and share their woes.
Lee Seung-hwan took the initiative to greet Jeon Doo-woo, which snapped Jeon Doo-woo out of his melancholy. Looking at Lee Seung-hwan's smartly dressed and dashing appearance, a hint of envy appeared in Jeon Doo-woo's eyes.
"It's Chief Li. I didn't toast you earlier because I was being a bit unsociable. There were some things to take care of at home..."
Li Chenghuan waved his hand: "Captain Quan, you're being too polite. I'm not some big shot. As your senior, I should be the one toasting you."
"Besides, I've always been a helpful and meddlesome person. If Captain Quan has any difficulties, you can come to me for advice. We're all brothers in the Tongxin Society, so we should help each other, right?"
Quan Douyu felt a warmth in his heart when he saw that Li Chenghuan was so kind-hearted, not only did he not discriminate against him because of his low social status, but he also offered to help him.
In South Korea, the status of soldiers like him is actually very low. Don't be fooled by his rank of captain or battalion commander; in terms of social status, he is far inferior to a glamorous and respected prosecutor like Lee Seung-hwan.
In South Korea, the public fears the military like the plague, and is terrified of military service!
The main reason is that the South Korean military has a very bad reputation. Although it is called an army, it is more like a mafia. Not only is the military discipline corrupt, but veteran soldiers also bully new recruits, superiors bully subordinates, and bullying is serious.
Moreover, the government's investment in the military and soldiers has been decreasing year by year. After layers of deductions, the soldiers' food expenses are very low, less than 4,000 won a day.
That means it's less than 20 RMB.
In China, 20 yuan a day might be enough to barely fill your stomach and maybe even have some meat.
But this is South Korea, where prices are high, and meat is expensive. These soldiers can only eat radish, cabbage, and seaweed soup every day.
The soldiers were starving and bullied, which shows that there were many internal conflicts. Such an army would not be able to fight, and would fall into chaos in wartime.
Unlike other officers, Quan Douyu did not embezzle the food allowances of his soldiers and often stopped the veterans from bullying the new recruits.
Therefore, he was highly respected in his battalion, and the soldiers were very supportive of him as the deputy battalion commander.
The battalion commander was just a second-generation rich kid who came to the army to get a prestigious education. He was rarely seen, and all the training of soldiers and various internal affairs were left to Quan Douyu.
Quan Douyu was indeed very concerned about the four or five hundred soldiers in the camp. He would help them with anything, big or small, by contributing money and effort, and even using his own salary to subsidize them.
His salary wasn't high, and he used most of it to help the soldiers under his command, which resulted in him living a very frugal life, and his wife often complained about it.
He has three sons and one daughter, and right now he can't even afford their tuition. He's too embarrassed to ask others for help, so he's always looking worried.
Seeing that Lee Seung-hwan was kindly asking him what difficulties he was facing, Jeon Doo-woo gritted his teeth and shamelessly told Lee Seung-hwan about his situation.
After listening, Lee Seung-hwan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "That's all?"
Captain Quan, a dignified commander who lost everything, was actually worrying about the tuition fees for his children.
He waved his hand dismissively: "Captain Quan, I'll take care of your children's tuition. As a soldier, you've made important contributions to the stability and peace of this country by protecting our homeland. We can't let you suffer bloodshed and tears."
"I've also heard that your army's food allowance is very poor, and the soldiers are not getting enough to eat every day, so they don't have the energy to train. How can this be allowed?"
"How about this, I'll contribute more money. Not only for all the captain's children, but also for any of your soldiers who have financial difficulties. I can help them as well."
"In addition, I will give Captain Quan a fixed amount of personal money every month. It's not much, only 50 million won. You keep 20 million for yourself, and the rest is equivalent to an extra 2000 won per day for the food allowance of a special operations battalion soldier, so that they can eat better, even if it's just a piece of meat in their bowl."
"How can a soldier defend his country if he can't even get enough to eat?"
Quan Douyu was stunned after hearing Li Chenghuan's words.
I even doubted whether I had misheard.
This prosecutor actually said he would be responsible for all his children's tuition fees until they came of age, and would also personally take out a sum of money to subsidize the soldiers in his camp and increase their food allowance!
An extra 2000 won per person may not seem like much, but it's enough to ensure the soldiers have enough to eat!
At that moment, he seemed to see a savior.
Damn it, this man is glowing!
Quan Douyu was moved to tears. He was 15 years older than Li Chenghuan, but at this moment he was willing to kneel down on one knee before Li Chenghuan.
"Chief Li...you, are you telling the truth?!"
Lee Seung-hwan was surprised to see Quan Douyu kneel down on one knee before him, as he hadn't offered much money.
The First Airborne Special Operations Brigade has only about 400 to 500 men per battalion. Even if it were a full force of 500 men, Lee Seung-hwan would only earn a maximum of 30 million Korean won per month.
It amounted to 3.6 million won over the year, only one-third of the 10 billion won he casually gave to Kang Hae-woong in his campaign funds.
For him, that was a great deal!
However, if you want to win people's hearts, you can't be too stingy.
He pulled Quan Douyu up and said earnestly, "Captain Quan, the moment I saw you, I knew you were a soldier with ideals, aspirations, and a sense of responsibility."
You're just one chance away!
"The South Korean military is now rife with corruption, seniority-based promotions, nepotism, bullying, ration-cutting, and all sorts of other problems... It must be a problem with the higher-ups!"
Don't you want to change all of this?
Quan Douyu nodded in agreement: "Of course I want to! But I have no connections or money, so I can only dream about it."
Li Chenghuan replied, "Where there's a will, there's a way. If you don't have money, I'll provide it. If you don't have connections, I'll be your connections!"
"I only have one question for Captain Quan: are you willing to join hands with me, unite as one, and make an effort to improve this country?"
Quan Douyu vaguely understood Li Chenghuan's ambition. His pupils contracted slightly, somewhat shocked. This Chief Li had grand plans!
But he knew that he had no power or influence, and had been stuck in the lower ranks of military officers for so many years without even becoming a field officer, while his classmates from the same period were already lieutenant colonels and senior colonels. It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous or envious.
Why?
Why are they able to rise through the ranks so quickly?
He believed his military talent was no less than theirs, and he cared about his soldiers and loved the country deeply. In contrast, those people relied on nepotism, forming cliques, and having a good background to easily climb over the heads of those of commoner origin to rise to power!
He is not willing!
He has an opportunity right in front of him, and he will never give it up!
So he solemnly saluted Li Chenghuan: "Chief Li, I, Quan Douyu, am willing to serve you with all my might and help you achieve unparalleled glory!"
Seeing this, Li Chenghuan laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha... Captain Quan, don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will definitely not keep this glory to myself!"
[I'm asking my godfathers for some small gifts! I promise that when I become a successful author and a top-rated anime writer, you will all be my pillars of support, and I won't keep that glory to myself!]
