My Military Career in a Parallel World

Facing pressure from Chief of Staff Feng, Ge Hongtao remained unmoved and refused to give in no matter how much he talked.

When Feng Yao was about to say something else, the phone on Zheng Xingguo's desk suddenly rang.

Jingle Bell……

Zheng Xingguo raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zheng Xingguo.

Lao Zhang, is there anything wrong?

OK, I got it, I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xingguo stood up and walked out with his coat in his hand, ignoring the three people's reactions. He said casually, "Well, Lao Zhang wants to see me about something. I'll go over and take care of it. You guys discuss it first and then report the result to me."

After saying that, without giving the three people a chance to speak, Zheng Xingguo quickly opened the door and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Seeing the captain leaving in a hurry, the three of them looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Zheng Xingguo left the regiment building and took out the mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at it. Looking at the phone number that had just been hung up, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He didn't want to listen to these three guys quarreling anymore. If they didn't leave, when Lei Dapao arrived, the four of them would get together and it would be even more troublesome.

In fact, Feng Yao was not a rogue. The General Staff had a certain degree of decision-making power over the allocation of new recruits, especially when the chief and deputy chief of staff both had direct jurisdiction over a company.

This part of the authority is even higher than that of the recruit unit.

To put it simply, Ge Hongtao, the company commander of new recruits, has certain advisory power, while Feng Yao, as the regiment chief of staff and a member of the regiment party committee, has the decision-making power.

The allocation of new recruits each year is not done by one or two or three people deciding the destination of more than a hundred recruits. Instead, a more reasonable and scientific method is adopted.

1. Leaders at all levels of the recruit unit, that is, the recruit company, have certain advisory powers.

2. Employers can first submit their own conscription requirements to the regiment headquarters.

For example, physical fitness, height and other aspects.

Moreover, most of the employers are actually the original units of the squad and platoon leaders of the recruit company, so those who understand will understand.

Finally, the regiment headquarters will review and approve the assignment of new recruits who meet the standards.

3. The administrative departments of the regiment headquarters are more complicated. The situations of each company are different, and the responsible departments are also different.

Because the General Staff is more familiar with the specific conditions of each subordinate company, the 228th Regiment will always ask for the opinions of the General Staff when assigning new recruits.

Finally, it is the leadership that holds the final decision-making power.

The regiment commander, political commissar, chief of staff and other main leaders of the regiment have certain decision-making power.

This is also the reason why Chief of Staff Feng dared to take the responsibility and let Ge Hongtao pick anyone he wanted, and gave priority to replenishing the troops for the third company.

If Ge Hongtao wanted someone, he had to first go to the regiment commander to apply for priority in recruiting soldiers, but Feng Yao didn't need to go through so much trouble.

Because he himself has the power to decide on the allocation of new recruits.

However, the regiment commander had already promised Ge Hongtao. In addition, as the company commander of the recruit company, he also had certain hidden benefits, and he also had to consider the demands of the subordinate companies.

Otherwise, as Chief of Staff Feng, who is at the decision-making level, he would have gone through so much trouble to recruit a new recruit, and he would even be so shameless as to do it himself.

Li Guoqing, who is also the deputy chief of staff, has not yet entered the decision-making level, but he can already join meetings and express his opinions.

So, when these two people appeared in his office together, Zheng Xingguo knew that this matter was going to be troublesome.

The three people each had their own reasons, and no one could convince anyone else. In the end, they might have to blame the whole thing on him as the team leader.

Zheng Xingguo simply ran away as a sign of respect. Anyway, it would take some time for the new recruits to join the company, so he could hide for as long as he could.

Maybe one of the three people gave up.

"By the way, I have to tell Lao Zhang, so that he won't let anything slip." Muttering to himself, Zheng Xingguo quickened his pace.

Just as he stepped out of the regiment headquarters, an officer with the rank of major rushed in.

"Hey, Xiaolin, is the commander in the office?" Before going in, Lei Dapao did not forget to ask the sentry at the door.

"Hello, Captain Lei! The regiment commander just left a while ago!" The sentry named Xiaolin saluted quickly in response.

"Gone?" Lei Dapao frowned.

When Ge Hongtao called him just now, he seemed very anxious. How come it was done in such a short time?

This shouldn’t be the case. Feng Laohei doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would let go so easily!

Shouldn't it be...

Thinking that the new recruit Ge Hongtao mentioned might have been snatched away, Lei Dapao's face immediately turned gloomy.

But then he came to his senses.

He was simply traumatized by the poaching. Ge Hongtao was not like other company commanders. He was not so well-off and would not easily give away the treasure he had obtained.

Just as he was thinking, Lei Zhenjun heard a commotion coming from the corridor entrance, and subconsciously raised his head to see...

The political commissar was surrounded by three officers with a helpless look on his face, and the documents in his hands almost fell to the ground.

"Political Commissar, please judge for yourself. This soldier was recruited by my lieutenant platoon leader in person. The squad leaders and platoon leaders of the recruit company are all soldiers from our third company!

Moreover, for him, I went to the regiment commander to ask for a priority spot in the recruitment process, and the commander agreed!

As a result, the Chief of Staff now has to intervene and ask for the person to be transferred to their police detective company!"

At this moment, Ge Hongtao had none of the dignity and momentum he had when facing the new recruits. He was just like a child who had been bullied outside and went back to complain to his parents.

Feng Yao and Li Guoqing standing next to them were speechless.

How old is he, and he's the company commander, why does he like to look for parents? !

They could still be tough in front of the regiment commander, but in front of the political commissar...

This is the same attitude you have towards your father and mother at home.

As long as you don't go too far, "father" will pretend not to see some minor problems in most cases.

But my mother is different. Not only does she bring it up from time to time, but she also shows no mercy when it comes to taking action.

Feng Yao didn't dare to use his power to bully the "child" in front of the political commissar. If the political commissar saw this...

Therefore, he could only quickly explain: "Political Commissar, don't listen to what Ge brat says, I am only following the regiment's rules and regulations!"

As for Li Guoqing, when he saw the two people's firm attitude, he actually wanted to give up in his heart.

It’s not that he couldn’t compete with the two of them, but he felt that if Jiang Chen was really as good as they said, it would be a waste of talent to have him join his guard company.

The attitude of the regiment commander just now can actually explain some problems. Compared with the guard company that always follows the regiment headquarters, Zheng Xingguo obviously prefers to let Jiang Chen go to the more grassroots company such as the reconnaissance company.

Guard Company, Guard Company, you can tell something from the name of their company.

In most cases, the guard company will not have any particularly dangerous tasks, and their most important responsibility is to protect the regiment headquarters.

In terms of combat effectiveness, since the guard company is the final guarantee for the safety of the regiment, it must not be weak, but it is not as extreme as the scouts.

If Jiang Chen was just an ordinary recruit, an excellent but not that excellent soldier, joining the guard company might be a good choice.

The Guard Company has the highest ratio of non-commissioned officers in the entire regiment, and the number of non-commissioned officers transferred to other positions each year is among the highest.

Conversely, since they do not need to go out on missions on a regular basis, the opportunities for their soldiers to be promoted are correspondingly smaller.

Even in the military exercises held every year, they rarely have the opportunity to participate.

Most of the time I was following the regiment headquarters.

By the time they are needed to go to the front line, the exercise is actually not far from over.

Although Li Guoqing also likes good soldiers and wants to make his company more combat-effective, he decided to give up on recruits like Jiang Chen who are bound to become officers in the future.

There is no need to hinder other people's future for your own selfish reasons.

This may be the reason why the team leader did not make a decision directly, but threw the problem to them for discussion.

"Old Feng, he's just a soldier from our regiment. You..."

Perhaps it was because his previous pitiful complaints had worked, or perhaps it was for other reasons, the political commissar was more inclined to the pitiful Ge Hongtao.

"Political Commissar, that's not the way to say it. You know the situation of our detective company. We have just experienced a failure, and now we need to recruit more people to increase our combat effectiveness." Feng Yao quickly responded when he saw that the situation was not good.

Ge Hongtao was equally unwilling to be outdone and immediately started complaining again, even bringing up how the chief of staff had poached a new recruit from his command a few years ago.

"Oh, this has happened! So, let's go find the regiment commander and discuss the assignment of new recruits to companies!" The person who tied the bell must untie it. The political commissar didn't want to be entangled by them anymore, so he made a gesture to go upstairs.

"Well, political commissar, the regiment commander went out for something, so we had no choice but to look for you." Ge Hongtao scratched his cheek awkwardly and explained.

"Huh, I thought! This old Zheng, he runs fast!" The political commissar cursed his unreliable old partner in his heart, then turned around and asked, "Where is the regiment commander?"

"I heard that he went to look for..." Ge Hongtao was about to answer subconsciously, but Lei Zhenjun had already walked over and said, "I just asked the sentry, and the commander has already gone out."

Well, upon hearing the news, the political commissar held his forehead helplessly, as he knew what his own regiment commander was planning.

"Let's go to the commander's house!" Ge Hongtao said gritting his teeth.

He wouldn't be able to sleep well until this matter was settled. Since the political commissar was present and there was someone who could make the decision, he had to strike while the iron was hot and settle the matter. Otherwise, the longer the night goes, the more trouble there would be. With the chief of staff's methods, it was hard to guarantee that he would not play some shady tricks as time went on.

"Haha, believe it or not, even if you go to his house, he will definitely not be there!" The political commissar calmed down the urge to hit someone and said with a smile.

Uh……

Now these people are really out of tricks.

The regiment commander deliberately wanted to delay the matter, and the political commissar didn't want to get involved and kept trying to smooth things over. What could they do?

It's impossible for a few people to really go to the leader's house and block the door, right? !

"Okay, let's all go back first. The allocation of new recruits is not something that can be decided in a day or two. I will discuss this with the regiment commander when the time comes."

Although I don't want to interfere in the assignment of new recruits, I can't just let them do whatever they want.

Each of them was either the leader of a company or the backbone of the regiment. It was ridiculous for them to make a fuss all day long just for a new recruit. The political commissar decisively made the decision and settled the matter.

"What is the final result? Go back and wait for notification. Don't bother the regiment headquarters over such trivial matters. If anyone doesn't listen...

Humph, don't even bother asking for a place in the recruit pool. Just lead whatever kind of soldiers the regiment assigns you!"

Feng Yao turned his head and glared at Ge Hongtao imperceptibly. He was obviously extremely unhappy with the political commissar's decision, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod and agree helplessly.

I'll think of another solution after I go back.

As for Ge Hongtao, he knew he was in the wrong, so facing Feng Yao's angry glare, he could only pretend not to see it.

There was nothing he could do, since he was the one who found the political commissar first.

However, in the final analysis, it is the chief of staff's fault. If he hadn't pushed himself so hard, he wouldn't have had to go to the political commissar for justice.

Li Guoqing had no objection to this decision. He nodded and turned away leisurely.

The worst one was Lei Zhenjun.

After receiving the call, I rushed to the regiment headquarters in a hurry, but...

Well, just treat it as exercise.

The chief of staff turned around with a gloomy face and went back to his office, while Lei Zhenjun and Ge Hongtao left the regiment headquarters and prepared to visit the recruit company.

After all, since we are here, we can’t make a wasted trip.

Lei Zhenjun was also very curious about what kind of new recruit could attract the two chiefs of staff to come out in person and force the company commander Ge Hongtao to urgently find him to come over and take charge.

In fact, as a senior veteran officer cadre, especially in this kind of front-line field unit, almost everyone is a soldier-crazy person who can't walk when he sees a good soldier.

From the regiment commander to the squad leader.

This is a tradition and also a trend.

During the conscription season every year, several companies almost fight to the death just to recruit one or two more good soldiers into their own company.

If they encounter a good soldier that has not been seen for several years, the battalion commanders behind them will also suffer the same fate.

For example, in the case of Jiang Zhou a few years ago, the three battalion commanders had personally taken action once. As for the police detective company, there was nothing they could do. They had no battalion commander and could only find the chief of staff, their direct leader.

As for Jiang Chen now, although his performance in the recruit company is not as good as Jiang Zhou in previous years, he is making rapid progress. He also has a college student soldier and a second-class meritorious service. With a little training, he can become an officer. After graduation, he can directly lead soldiers in the company. It is not impossible for him to take over the old company commander's class after another two years of training.

This is much better than snatching back a non-commissioned officer. No wonder the chief of staff couldn't help but take action himself.

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the recruit camp and saw from afar a group of recruits conducting assassination training on the playground.

The so-called assassination training is what we commonly call bayonet fighting.

Although, with the continuous advancement of technology, organized hand-to-hand combat has long since withdrawn from the stage of history, it does not mean that soldiers no longer need assassination training.

First of all, apart from other things, the fact that assassination can cultivate soldiers' spirit of respecting martial arts is enough to illustrate the necessity of this training.

Secondly, the wild environment is complex, especially in the dense jungle where anything can happen.

When you are out of ammunition and food, close combat is the last means of defense.
