Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 117: Never Let the Soldiers Feel Chilled

"Report to the commander, 33rd Division, Lu Chong reports to you!"

Lu Chong stood in the commander's office and reported the situation.

In addition, the submitted written documents detailed the heroic deeds of Zhao Pengfei and Qin Feng.

Although they were accidentally involved in this operation, their outstanding performance is still remarkable.

These are all honors of their teacher, so Lu Chong naturally has to help fight for them.

"Are you done?"

Wei Changjun tapped the table with his fingers and looked at him expressionlessly.

Lu Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong.

But even so, he still asked.

"Commander, are you considering rewarding the personnel who participated in the mission?"

"Let's not talk about rewards for now. Look at this."

Wei Changjun turned the laptop on the table.

When Lu Chong saw the content above, his expression froze instantly.

Wei Changjun turned the computer over again, leaned back in his chair, and spoke in a cold tone.

"In addition, some people have written anonymous letters to report that we must severely punish the bad apples and give an explanation to society and the people!"

Lu Chong's face suddenly turned pale: "Commander, the term "black sheep" is too harsh. I have already understood the facts."

"In that environment, this was done purely to protect everyone's lives."

"If the army is going to punish them for something like this, then you might as well punish me first. It's my fault for not leading the troops well!"

Wei Changjun slammed the table and stood up. "Lü Chong, what do you want to do? Are you trying to argue with me, or are you trying to prove that you have courage and love for your soldiers?"

"Report to the chief, I don't have it!"

Lu Chong stood straight and shouted loudly.

Wei Changjun almost clapped his hands until they hurt: "No, why are you yelling so loudly? You're standing right in front of me, and I'm not even fucking deaf!"

"You think I'm going to mess with those new recruits? You think I want to make a big deal out of this?"

"Now that questions have been raised, the troops must find a way to resolve them."

"We are the people's army and have strict discipline!"

He stood in front of Lu Chong, his tone as serious as it could be.

"It is true that during the rescue process, those new recruits did operate improperly and behaved recklessly."

"You also said that they are new recruits!" Lu Chong was firm in his attitude and did not give in at all.

"How much ideological awareness can we expect from a new recruit who has only been in the army for a little over two months?"

"Besides, under the circumstances at the time, even if I were asked to rescue someone and ran into these ungrateful bastards, I would have slapped them harder than they did!"

The office was filled with tension.

The two argued fiercely, and neither could convince the other.

In the end, Wei Changjun pointed at him helplessly.

"Lü Chong, after all these years, when will you change your stubborn temper?"

"Back when we were hunting monkeys together, you looked like this. How come so many years have passed? Why are you still like this?"

"If you had been a little more flexible and assessed the situation a little better, the position of army commander would have been yours long ago."

"Do you know what it means to put the overall situation first and to proceed from a collective perspective?"

Lu Chong looked nonchalant. "Old Wei, don't talk nonsense to me! I only know that my soldiers' blood must not be shed in vain, and their injuries must not be suffered in vain!"

"He's clearly a hero who saved people, but now he's being wrongly accused of being a loser because of a bunch of useless students?"

"If I don't take care of this kind of thing, I wouldn't be happy even if I were given the position of division commander!"

He slammed his legs together and puffed out his chest. "Chief, if someone has to apologize, if someone has to take the blame, come at me!"

"Anyway, I'm not thinking about climbing up the ladder anymore. At worst, I can retire two years early and go back to gardening!"

"But I absolutely cannot let these bleeding and injured soldiers lose heart!"

Lu Chong's words were so powerful that they kept echoing in the office.

Wei Changjun looked at his behavior and felt as if he was seeing something that happened decades ago.

He was a platoon leader, but in order to let the soldiers eat more meat, he ran to contradict the regiment commander.

Over the years, my positions have become higher and higher, and my edges have become smoother.

We are used to talking about formalities and moral principles, but ignore personal feelings.

But this old guy Lu Chong is exactly the same as he was decades ago, even his temper has not changed.

Wei Changjun took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, lit one silently, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"I will set up a special investigation team to conduct a complete assessment of the entire incident, and try to be as fair and impartial as possible without favoring any party. What do you think?"

"I think the chief's decision is very wise!"

Looking at Lu Chong's serious look, Wei Changjun really wanted to slap him twice.

Damn it, have you learned to be worldly-wise and smooth-talking now?

That wasn't the case when you argued with me just now.

"Okay, get out of here now! I don't want to see you again for the next three months!"

"That won't do! My daughter is getting married next month, and if you don't come, you'll get the red envelope."

After saying that, Lu Chong placed an invitation on the table.

Wei Changjun looked at the red invitation, his eyes twitching wildly.

"You bastard, you come here to pick a fight with me, and now you want to take money out of my pocket?"

"Hey, stop it! You were the one who said that my daughter is your daughter, and when she gets married, you have to give her a big one!"

Lu Chong immediately flashed a wicked grin, like a profiteer: "I boasted to my old comrades that if a great army commander like you gave out a red envelope, it would definitely be no less than 10,000 yuan!"

Wei Changjun was almost furious and was about to stand up and curse.

Lu Chong slipped away immediately.

Wei Changjun sat back in his chair and took several breaths before he calmed down a little.

He took out the letter of denunciation from the left drawer.

Crumble it into a ball and throw it directly in the trash.

He then poured the remaining tea leaves in the cup into the cup.

......

"Wow, so many more likes and comments!"

In a small detached villa, Gu Xiaolu, with a plaster cast on her leg and a Band-Aid on her face, was lying on the sofa, browsing on her tablet with a smile on her face.

Looking at the words of concern and encouragement, and the increasing number of likes in the background, she felt extremely satisfied.

It feels like becoming a big star.

She had never posted anything before, but it had never received so much attention.

【Thank you for your encouragement. I will get better slowly. 】

My depression has started to improve...

When will women finally stand up? I hope there are fewer men who are inferior to me in this world...

Gu Xiaolu randomly selected a few sisters to reply, hoping to gain more sympathy and attention.

Then she threw the tablet aside and watched TV with relish.

This is the most popular talk show nowadays.

When I heard the talk show host use the eight words "good style, able to win battles" to describe a dog on the show.

She laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out.

......

"Hello, Qin Feng, we meet again."

In the evening in the ward, Zhu Huihui sat down beside Qin Feng's bed, holding the computer, and nodded with a smile.

Qin Feng sat up from the bed: "Commander, I'm sorry to bother you to come here so late."

In the army, when new recruits see veteran non-commissioned officers, they usually call them squad leaders.

When meeting a military officer, regardless of his rank, he is basically called "chief".

This is an unwritten rule and also represents respect for superiors.

Zhu Huihui smiled and waved her hand: "You'd better not call me that. I think I'm old. Your company commander and I are old classmates. Just call me Sister Zhu."

"Okay." Qin Feng didn't act pretentiously and immediately changed his words to call her Sister Zhu.

"Ge Zhiyong already told me your intention for coming here on the way, but..."

Zhu Huihui hesitated for a moment. "That post has been forwarded by many people. The most I can do is delete the original post. I don't have the authority to delete it from the entire internet yet."

Qin Feng shook his head: "Sister Zhu, you misunderstood. I invited you here, not to ask you to delete the post."

"Not deleting the post?"

“Yes, I want you to post.”

"Post a clarification?"

Zhu Huihui thought about it and thought that this was indeed a good idea.

As long as the parties involved come forward to speak out, perhaps some of the negative impact can be reversed.

But it was obvious that she didn't understand what Qin Feng meant.

"I didn't ask you to post something to clarify things for me, but to post something to criticize us."

"What? Posting something to curse you?"

Zhu Huihui was stunned and almost thought she had heard it wrong.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "We need to create dozens more accounts. The more people curse, the better. The harsher the curse, the better..."
