Who taught you to be a soldier like this!

Chapter 575

"You two! Really!"

"The patriarchal style is just too much!"

Seeing his two colleagues chatting so enthusiastically, the man in the Zhongshan suit smiled and chimed in.

"You want to assign someone a task, but you don't even ask about their attitude?"

"You should have all seen the report submitted by Comrade Guan Jiwu, right?"

“Our young champion has been leading his team to guard the border area these past few days, except for eating and sleeping.”

"This kind of work ethic is something I couldn't match when I was young."

"Once the operation is over, don't you want to let him rest properly? Why are you assigning him new tasks instead?"

"Aren't you afraid of crushing such a promising talent and exhausting him?"

I can tell.

The man in the Zhongshan suit was a leader with a very good personality.

However, his worries were really unnecessary for Zhao Weihong, who didn't know the meaning of "rest" when she was working.

"Hey! Don't worry about it!"

“If it were anyone else, you wouldn’t even need to open your mouth.”

"When the operation was almost over, I moved him to the rear to rest."

"But I've heard Old Wang brag about this kid's energy quite a bit!"

At this point, the deputy SL member suddenly showed a disgusted expression, clearly indicating that he had been "harassed" by Wang Chuan quite often.

"To put it simply, this kid has been in the army for so long, he's not afraid of hardship or fatigue, he's just afraid of being idle and unable to make progress!"

"Moreover, his progress is not what ordinary people would think."

"Instead, it's about genuinely enriching yourself and honing your skills!"

"Letting him go to the Armed Police Force to broaden his horizons is a good thing for him."

"Besides, once the joint operation ends, there won't be any major moves planned for the second half of this year."

"If you want to rest, there will be plenty of time later!"

Upon hearing this, the communications officer standing behind him finally couldn't stand it any longer and quickly leaned close to his ear, whispering something.

"Commander, Comrade Zhao Weihong hasn't graduated yet!"

"Once the joint operation is over, he should go back to prepare for his dissertation defense!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Tianren, a valiant general who had fought on the southwestern front even earlier than Wang Chuan and Guan Jiwu, immediately showed a very surprised expression.

"This kid hasn't graduated yet?"

"Damn it. Back in the military area, Old Wang would mention that kid to me at least ten times a month!"

"I didn't hear him say that this kid hasn't graduated yet?"

"After all this time, this kid isn't even a full-fledged officer; he's just a greenhorn?"

"This time I really want to have a good talk with this kid!"

"Go! Call Guan Jiwu and ask him where he took Xiao Zhao?"

"Didn't they say they were already inside the compound ten minutes ago? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Yes!"

He saluted the three leaders, and the communications officer standing behind him immediately ran towards the door.

He had only run a few steps out the door when the communications officer bumped into Guan Jiwu, who was walking hurriedly and had a serious expression.

Seeing this, the communications officer quickly grabbed him, but instead of speaking, he stared intently at Guan Jiwu's empty back several times before asking a question with a bewildered expression.

"Where is he/she? He/She's lost."

Why did you come here alone?

Upon hearing this, Guan Jiwu immediately rolled his eyes and said irritably.

"It would have been better if I had just gotten lost!"

"Quickly, take me inside so I can explain the situation to the leaders."

Undeterred, he glanced behind Guan Jiwu a couple more times, and after confirming that he wasn't preparing some kind of "disappearing act" trick, the communications officer led him toward the reception room, speaking as he did so.

"What exactly happened? The leaders are getting impatient and specifically asked me to come out and ask you about the situation."

At this moment, Guan Jiwu had no intention of paying attention to him. He was only focused on walking forward with his mind preoccupied, and soon he met the gazes of the three leaders sitting opposite each other in the shape of the character "品".

Upon seeing Guan Jiwu, Pei Tianren immediately raised his hand, seemingly to welcome Guan Jiwu and Zhao Weihong, who was supposed to have arrived with him.

However, after seeing the situation beside Guan Jiwu clearly, Pei Tianren slowly lowered his raised right hand, and the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a very puzzled expression.

"Old Guan, you're not going to tell me that you lost a grown man in this big yard, are you?"

"Sir, how could that be?"

Before Guan Jiwu could finish speaking, Pei Tianren pressed him with a hint of anger.

"So where is Zhao Weihong?"

"Are you expecting our 149th Division to put on a show here so late at night, instead of sleeping, because we're planning to watch you put on a monkey show?"

This statement came out.

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Guan Jiwu's forehead!
In front of Wang Chuan, Guan Jiwu occasionally dared to put on a "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" attitude.

This is not only because he and Wang Chuan have an excellent relationship in private, but more importantly, when Wang Chuan participated in the Southwest Rotation War, although he was half a rank higher than him, he participated several years later.

From this perspective, Guan Jiwu is Wang Chuan's "senior," so of course he's not afraid of him!

But in front of Pei Tianren, neither Guan Jiwu nor Wang Chuan mattered.

No one dared to put on airs as a "victor of the rotation"!

Both Guan Jiwu and Wang Chuan participated in the Southwest Rotation War, which spanned ten years.

But Pei Tianren participated in the self-defense counterattack war back then!
If it weren't for the higher authorities issuing the order to withdraw troops due to practical needs and the relatively unfavorable international situation, the situation would have been different.

Pei Tianren might just storm into the enemy's capital!

Guan Jiwu is widely recognized as a master of defensive warfare in China.

Pei Tianren is the unparalleled tiger general in the country!

The reason he is now at the same level as Wang Chuan is because his rank was too high, and he missed the "tailwind" when the two military regions merged back then.

But this did not affect Pei Tianren's progress at all.

If nothing unexpected happens, Pei Tianren will take another step forward and become one of the few dozen military commanders in the country at the level of a full-fledged military region commander, which is only a matter of one or two years!

Even if Guan Jiwu changes his mind, his future development may not necessarily be worse than Pei Tianren's.

But at this moment, he was no different in front of Pei Tianren than he had been when he spoke with Deputy Chief Wei not long ago.

All they can do is "be humble and subservient"!
"Commander! Let me explain!"

"Wei Hong has actually arrived, but..."

He hurriedly explained the whole story to Pei Tianren and the others.

Guan Jiwu glanced discreetly at the three men's somber expressions and then summarized his observations.

"My lords, this is the situation. Wei Hong will need a few more tens of minutes to prepare before she can come and meet you."

After saying that, Guan Jiwu realized that his words were likely to give them a bad impression of Zhao Weihong, so he quickly added something else.

"Three leaders! On behalf of Wei Hong, I apologize to you!"

"This kid is capable! He has the right attitude! And when he works, needless to say, it's just his temperament."

"Something's a little strange!"

"Once he sets his mind on something, he insists on doing it perfectly, and no amount of persuasion from others can change his mind." "Actually, I also bear some responsibility for this; if..."

"All right."

"Comrade Guan Jiwu, we all understand what you mean."

He nodded encouragingly at Guan Jiwu.

The man in the Zhongshan suit looked at the two leaders and asked with a slight smile.

"It seems that tonight's conversation will have no choice but to be formal."

"Gentlemen, how about we wait somewhere else and see what kind of surprise this young comrade has in store for us?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Tianren immediately stood up, answering his question with his actions.

"Guan Jiwu!"

"To!"

"Notify all personnel to assemble at the operations center in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

In the lounge.

Zhao Weihong's pen moves swiftly.

His short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat, as if he had been engaged in intense exercise.

The storms and turmoil in the outside world had nothing to do with him at this moment.

He didn't care how Guan Jiwu would report to the leaders.

He didn't care how the leaders would react to him because of this.

Zhao Weihong just wanted to put those interconnected concepts in her mind onto paper in the shortest possible time in a way that was both intuitive and easy to understand!
If this conversation had taken place in a private setting, Zhao Weihong would never have kept the leaders waiting for her.

But now, Zhao Weihong knows it all too well.

This conversation, along with the views and ideas he expressed, could very well influence the direction of the entire joint operation, and even change the subsequent deployment of the operation. He cannot afford to be careless!
If Zhao Weihong still chooses to start this conversation unprepared, knowing all this, then he wouldn't be Zhao Weihong!

Outside.

From the direction of the stairs came a faint but very chaotic sound of footsteps.

Zhao Weihong ignored this.

His originally slender handwriting became increasingly messy and illegible as his thoughts surged and time passed!

"call!"

"It's done!"

As Zhao Weihong suddenly stood up, the increasingly rapid rustling sounds in the room abruptly stopped.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Weihong immediately picked up the still-warm manuscript and walked towards the door.

After pushing open the door that had always been closed.

Zhao Weihong, who was about to contact Guan Jiwu, immediately put her phone back in her pocket.

"finished?"

Seeing Zhao Weihong drenched in sweat, yet her eyes still shone brightly...

Guan Jiwu, who had acted as his "sentinel" for more than half an hour, immediately lost all resentment and instead asked a question he already knew the answer to with great concern.

"Ah."

Nodding to Guan Jiwu, Zhao Weihong, exhausted both physically and mentally, didn't say anything more and started walking towards the stairwell.

This time, Guan Jiwu reacted quickly and swiftly, taking two quick steps to stand half a body length ahead of Zhao Weihong.

Night has come.

Inside the vast main building, apart from the synchronized footsteps of the two brothers, only the faint sound of the motion-activated lights being switched on and off could be heard.

soon.

Guan Jiwu, who had climbed five floors in one go, led Zhao Weihong to a tightly closed double wooden door.

Zhao Weihong cast an inquiring glance at Guan Jiwu, and after he nodded, she calmed her breathing and pushed open the door in front of her without hesitation.

The enormous operations center immediately came into view!

With her exceptional memory, Zhao Weihong recognized him at a glance.

This small auditorium, packed with people, was the "main venue" that Zhao Weihong saw on television when the joint operation preparatory meeting was held.

The sound of the door opening also attracted the attention of countless people.

A series of probing gazes fell upon Zhao Weihong.

The most conspicuous figures were the three people sitting in the front row of the auditorium to Zhao Weihong's right.

However, Zhao Weihong did not make eye contact with anyone.

His gaze fell directly on the empty podium at the left front of the stage.

Looking at the microphone in front of the podium, Zhao Weihong knew that this position belonged to him.

There was absolutely no preparation, nor was there any need for preparation at all.

Zhao Weihong strode confidently toward the empty stage, facing the gazes of everyone present.

This stage was prepared specifically for him, and this meeting was also held specifically for him.

As Zhao Weihong stood in front of the podium, her gaze met that of Pei Tianren, who was looking down from the audience.

Zhao Weihong did not know him.

But recognizing the prominent rank of Mai Er on his shoulder, one might even guess that he might have some connection with Wang Chuan.

Zhao Weihong's expression remained unchanged. She calmly unfolded the manuscript, calmly adjusted the microphone, and finally spoke calmly.

"Respected leaders, dear comrades."

"I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting."

"But as a soldier, as a warrior who, like you, bears responsibilities and obligations on his shoulders."

"I must be responsible for every word I say, and even more so for the potential impact it may have."

"Now, please allow me to offer some of my humble opinions, hoping to elicit extremely valuable feedback from all of you."

The words fell.

Inside the small auditorium, the hostility towards Zhao Weihong that had been permeating the air vanished without a trace!
Zhao Weihong's words were reasonable, well-founded, polite, and respectful; there was not a single problem with them!

He adopted an extremely humble attitude, making it impossible to associate these remarks with a "madman" who made the entire group, including the three leaders, wait for nearly an hour!
Pei Tianren reacted very directly, immediately smiling and nodding at Zhao Weihong.

That's more like it!

The talented people that Lao Wang always talks about, how could they be ordinary people?
Even if there are some unconventional aspects, it's understandable!
At least Pei Tianren highly agrees with the explanation given by Zhao Weihong for this "unconventional" behavior!
The reaction of the man in the Zhongshan suit far exceeded Pei Tianren and the others' expectations!
"Comrade Guan Jiwu."

The man in the Zhongshan suit frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked Guan Jiwu, who was sitting behind him, in a voice that could only be heard by a few people in the front row.

"Is there some kind of misunderstanding between you and our young champion?"

"From your description, I'm almost starting to think of Comrade Zhao Weihong as arrogant and conceited!"

"But now that I look at it, that's not the case at all!"

"On the contrary, Comrade Zhao Weihong is clearly very responsible, and her starting point and motives are good!"

Is there a problem with your communication style, or...?

Guan Jiwu: "???"

No!

I'm completely innocent!
