My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Alright, alright, stop complaining to me. Old Feng also has his own difficulties. The police detective company was established not long ago, and we can't just use all new recruits. We must have veteran backbones." Zheng Xingguo waved his hand in annoyance to interrupt Ge Hongtao's complaints.

He also knew that Feng Yao was poaching people from everywhere, and in fact, this matter was ultimately approved by him, the head of the group.

There is no other way. If a new company wants to grow and develop quickly, it can only use this method.

If not for this, there would be no need for him to let a lieutenant colonel chief of staff personally take charge of an entire company.

However, having said that, we cannot ignore the situation that Ge Hongtao just mentioned.

In the past few years, in order to enable the police detective company to quickly form combat effectiveness, we had to resort to this last resort.

Now that the police detective company has initially acquired combat effectiveness, it is time to cancel the previous privilege of recruiting people from all over the place and giving priority to selecting new recruits.

Speaking of the police detective company, Zheng Xingguo couldn't help but think of the division detective battalion that the division headquarters was preparing to establish.

The reconnaissance battalion directly under the division, the name can tell what kind of unit it is.

"I'm afraid the reforms above are imminent. This division reconnaissance camp may just be the beginning..."

Zheng Xingguo had a vague feeling that once the reform began, he might not be able to keep his reconnaissance battalion.

This is an inevitable trend that cannot be stopped by human power.

Among the entire 31st Mountain Division, the 228th Regiment has the most extreme overall quality. The strong companies are extremely strong and well-known throughout the C Army, but the weak companies are also terribly weak and can only be responsible for some logistical work of transporting supplies and ammunition.

Zheng Xingguo once tried to adjust the imbalance in combat effectiveness among the companies within the regiment.

But when he actually started to work on it, he realized how difficult the problem was.

What really caused the extreme imbalance in combat effectiveness was not a certain person or thing, but the result of the different focus and responsibilities of each company.

For example, the three reconnaissance companies of the First Reconnaissance Battalion have plenty of time to improve the military quality of their soldiers in addition to their fixed patrol and training missions every year.

Similarly, there is a gap in funding and benefits between scouts and ordinary soldiers.

This is for sure, because most of the missions they carry out are high-risk and high-risk, and sometimes they even fight the enemy with real guns and swords.

Of course, there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between soldiers who have seen blood and soldiers who have not seen blood.

There are also some positions where daily jobs are hard and dangerous, but the pay is far from commensurate with the effort they put in.

For example, patrolling the border and standing guard.

Over time, the companies responsible for these tasks will suffer a large loss of talent, and new recruits will be unwilling to go to such companies.

Although it is said that revolutionary soldiers are like bricks and can be moved wherever they are needed, and that the camp may remain permanent but the soldiers may come and go, we are not stupid and cannot resist. Can't I still retire?

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that there is a lack of successors and that we are unable to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

However, Zheng Xingguo's measures were not completely ineffective. At least he solved the problem of many companies being stationed at the border for a long time and unable to contact their relatives in the outside world.

Every year, all companies, including the reconnaissance company, need to go to the border to perform border defense tasks, thereby sharing and reducing the workload of the border defense soldiers, allowing them to take a break from time to time and go home on vacation to reunite with their families.

As for why the border defense teams are not rotated directly, this involves deeper issues.

The complexity of the border is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Without the leadership of these veterans who have been guarding the border for a long time, ordinary soldiers would simply not be able to perform the border guarding work.

Therefore, we can only settle for the second best and adopt the method of partial rotation to reduce their work pressure.

Let’s get back to the topic.

What they said was true. In recent years, most of the better recruits among the new recruits had basically entered the police detective company. Faced with Ge Hongtao's complaints, he couldn't object.

"Alas, Old Feng only said that, but he can really keep a close eye on a new recruit." Zheng Xingguo finally relented.

Ge Hongtao was delighted when he heard this and immediately wanted to confirm the matter.

"Captain, this is what you said. If the Chief of Staff comes to ask for someone, you can't go back on your word!"

"Nonsense! When did I ever break my promise? Besides, the police detective company can't miss a new recruit!"

"Okay, I agree to give priority to the selection of soldiers, but the conditions are still the same as before. You can only give priority to one of the new recruits, and the rest will be assigned by the regiment!"

Looking at Ge Hongtao's hypocritical smile, Zheng Xingguo stopped bothering others and prepared to drive him away.

"No, Captain. Look at me, as a company commander of new recruits, I feel like I am serving a group of young masters every day. I am walking on thin ice..."

"Get out of here! You are still walking on thin ice, but I think it's easier for me as a regiment commander?!" Seeing that this guy was getting more and more demanding and was about to start a long complaint, Zheng Xingguo's face instantly fell.

"It's just one spot, take it or leave it if you want. If you bother me again, forget about getting this position!"

Zheng Xingguo could guess what was going on in his mind even with his eyes closed.

Having a recruit who is a 985 university graduate and a second-class meritorious service member is not enough, do you need more?

Do you really think that he, the team leader, is easy to talk to?

As for why Zheng Xingguo knew that Ge Hongtao's priority selection spot was reserved for Jiang Chen...

Nonsense, when Jiang Chen was awarded for his meritorious service, he and the political commissar went there in person.

Zheng Xingguo had some impression of that soldier. After he came back, he specifically asked for his file to take a look. He was undoubtedly a good soldier.

Not only does he have a high level of education, he also has strong military qualities. I heard that he was the first deputy squad leader of the recruit company and was always regarded as a role model for recruits by Ge Hongtao.

Even if you have never seen this kind of soldier in person, you know that he is definitely the best of the good soldiers.

As long as he is prepared to develop in the army in the future, he will definitely be a potential officer.

As for why Zheng Xingguo didn't keep Jiang Chen in the regiment...

This brings us to Zheng Xingguo’s requirements for his officers.

In his eyes, a soldier who has not been trained at the grassroots level is not considered a qualified officer.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Chen is still in the organization of his 228th Regiment, Zheng Xingguo doesn’t care which company he goes to. They are all his soldiers anyway, and there is nothing to fight about.

"It's good to go to the reconnaissance battalion. He has knowledge and culture, as well as the responsibility that a soldier should have. Add to that the military qualities of a scout, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to become a colonel-level officer in the future..."

Thinking about something else, Zheng Xingguo subconsciously reached out to touch the cigarette box on the table, but found nothing...

"Damn, this little bastard even took a box of cigarettes from me before leaving!" After scolding with a smile, Zheng Xingguo shook his head and took out another box of unopened cigarettes from the drawer. He lit one and slowly looked at the documents on the table.

He has to inspect the company below tomorrow, so he has to hurry and finish the documents he has on hand.
