Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 885 He may not be a competent soldier, but he is a good father

In the war zone, in a large logistics support warehouse of a division-level unit.

A middle-aged man with the rank of major general was inspecting the work with sweat on his forehead.

From the inventory of supplies to the storage of support supplies, all are within his purview.

But who could have imagined that not long ago he was the deputy commander of a certain army, and in the blink of an eye he was transferred to the logistics support department because of some work mistakes.

The difference between before and after was so great that even he himself began to doubt his life...

"These, these, and the warehouse at the back, the items are not placed up to standard and need to be rectified immediately."

"Please prepare an updated list of goods and place it on my desk. I must ensure that every item of goods can be matched with the number. All of this needs to be filed in the computer."

"Also, some of that junk from ten or twenty years ago has weathered away. Why keep it? Clear out what can be cleaned up quickly. Don't let it sit in the warehouse taking up space."

After finishing the work at hand, Chen Haifeng quickly ate a few bites and drove back to the office where the logistics support department was located.

When he pushed the door open and saw the person sitting inside, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Why did you come here?"

"Dad, I came to see you."

Chen Zilong stood up and felt sorry for his father when he saw that he was exhausted and his clothes were soaked with sweat, so he took the initiative to hand him a glass of water.

Chen Haifeng smiled with satisfaction: "My son has grown up and become sensible. He knows how to come and see me and he knows how to care for me."

My son has been disobedient since he was young.

He was told to go east, but he chose to go west.

Let him study hard, but he chooses to hang out with those bad friends.

Fortunately, he was admitted to a military academy, and after graduation, I used my connections to transfer him to my side and take care of him. Otherwise, who knows what kind of person he would have become now.

"If you want to drink tea, pour it yourself. I don't have any good tea leaves here." Chen Haifeng didn't try to be polite to his son.

"No, I just drink water."

"How is my new environment? Is it okay?"

"It's pretty good. It's quiet and there aren't too many things to do. I can just consider it as early retirement."

"You brat..."

Chen Haifeng pointed at him and smiled unhappily.

His current office is much smaller than his previous one, and his desk has become much narrower and shorter. Its main feature is its economy and practicality.

At this moment, his face changed, because he suddenly noticed that the three-star badge on Chen Zilong's shoulder was no longer a three-star badge, but a private with a limp.

Chen Haifeng said with a cold face: "What's going on with you?"

Chen Zilong glanced down at his epaulettes, appearing quite calm. "He made a mistake and was punished by his superiors, demoted to an ordinary soldier. Your son now has to climb up again."

"Nonsense!"

Chen Haifeng was furious: "You're an officer! If you were demoted any further, you should have been a lieutenant, or at least a second lieutenant. How could you become just an ordinary private? Then all your four years of military school were wasted."

At the beginning, he transferred Chen Zilong to his own team and used his connections to pave the way for him, hoping that his path would be smoother.

But unexpectedly, after all the efforts, the boy not only did not move forward, but was knocked to the bottom of the valley by a stick.

How could he, as a father, accept this?

Chen Haifeng asked for the reason, but Chen Zilong didn't want to say anything more: "I think it's fine now. I was too self-righteous before. Letting someone like me be a company commander is purely misleading."

"Now that I'm starting out as a soldier, I feel like the burden on my shoulders has been lightened a lot, and I can learn a lot."

Chen Haifeng slammed his hand on the table, puffing his beard and glaring: "What bullshit are you talking about! People tend to go up, and water flows down. I've worked so hard to train you, isn't it because I hope you can become a talent?"

"You're so good, you're taking the initiative to blame others and making excuses for yourself?"

"Tell me the truth, is someone targeting you? Is someone trying to make things difficult for you?"

"Don't worry, just speak up. I'll back you up! If anyone dares to do something bad behind your back, I promise..."

"What guarantees do you have?" Chen Zilong interrupted his father and said earnestly, "Dad, face the reality. You've been transferred to manage the logistics warehouse. Stop messing around."

"We do what the higher-ups say. How high is the rank of an officer? Even if you become a general like you, aren't you still a soldier in the end?"

"Soldier, just do what you're supposed to do. Follow orders and follow directions. I really think the current situation is pretty good. Haven't you adapted well to being transferred here?"

The father didn't expect that his son, whom he hadn't seen for a while, could say such words and even preach to him.

It seems that he has really changed a lot and learned a lot during this period of time.

But as a father, he felt very guilty and ashamed.

He originally wanted to use his resources and connections to pave the way for Chen Zilong, but in the end he completely harmed him.

The office was quiet for a while before his father broke the silence and asked him what the purpose of his visit was.

Chen Zilong also concealed the truth and directly explained the regiment's current predicament: "Right now, our regiment is in urgent need of ammunition, fuel, and auto repair soldiers... If special training cannot continue, we will definitely lose the competition next month."

"Dad, I want to stay in the reinforced regiment. I don't want to see my unit forced to disband and see so many comrades leave the army. Can you help me?"

Chen Haifeng is a major general after all, and he is not as easy to fool as the young people.

He only needed to listen to the general outline of the matter to understand all the twists and turns involved.

I have to say that Qin Feng and Qin Zhengwei's methods are indeed very clever.

He was certain that all the talk about disbanding and retiring was false, and he also knew that with Qin Feng's connections, he was absolutely capable of helping the reinforced regiment get supplies.

But he chose not to do so. Instead, he assigned these tasks to Chen Zilong and his gang. The deep meaning behind this is intriguing.

At Chen Haifeng's age, Zhengzhi's keen sense of smell has almost become an instinct, and he naturally understands what Qin Feng's appearance means.

Some people say that he is a knife of the new era; others say that he is a whetstone, specially used to sharpen rusty knives.

No matter which explanation is given, it actually makes sense because this is what the above wants to see.

And now, Chen Zilong came to him with the leave note issued by Qin Feng.

Rather than saying that Qin Feng wants to see his attitude, it would be better to say that the higher-ups want to see what choice he will make?

It is to do your own thing quietly and turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside.

He still risked violating discipline to help his son and his unit "get through the difficulties."

If I don't do anything, my son will hate me for the rest of his life.

If you do, you will most likely be asked to have a chat for violating the rules.

Watching his father making a difficult decision, Chen Zilong did not understand the deeper meaning behind it.

He only knew that his father had the ability to help them solve problems and overcome difficulties.

"Dad, if it's really difficult, I'll go and ask my mom for help, see if she..."

"Your mother can't handle it. You can only count on me for this kind of thing. You must count on me."

"So you promised to help me?"

Chen Haifeng took a deep breath and finally smiled bitterly: "I will help you. I will definitely help you. I, your father, will risk my reputation to help you one last time! Go back and wait for news. I will definitely get it done for you!"

"Thank you, Dad. No, thank you, Chief!" Chen Zilong stood up excitedly and saluted his father.

"Go ahead, go ahead. It's just a small matter, and you've come all the way here in such a hot day..." Chen Haifeng smiled and waved his hand.

After his son left happily, Chen Haifeng picked up the landline phone on the table and made one call after another.

This is completely different from the condescending attitude he had when he was deputy army commander.

This time, his tone was full of negotiation and request, and he seemed very humble...
