Who taught you to be a soldier like this!

Chapter 578

Upon hearing this, regardless of Zhao Weihong's reaction, Guan Jiwu immediately lost his composure, his expression instantly becoming stiff and blank!

Guan Jiwu looked at Pei Tianren with a look that could only be described as "terrified," and then at Zhao Weihong, who was obedient and had a "well-behaved" expression. His skin tone changed visibly in an instant, until it looked like a crab that had just been pulled out of boiling water.

It's bright red!
Guan Jiwu really wanted to give Pei Tianren a thumbs up and then praise him properly.

Commander, you have a keen eye for people!

"Hiss."

After taking several deep breaths, Guan Jiwu finally swallowed the "mmp" that was already on the tip of his tongue, silently reminding himself not to get excited!
Absolutely do not get excited!
Anyway, he'll be going to Yanjing in a little over a month.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Weihong will remain in the 446th Regiment and the Bashu Military Region, where she will have many more opportunities to interact with Pei Tianren in the future!

Guan Jiwu could leave everything to time and let Pei Tianren experience for himself just how absurd his two sentences were!
Does Zhao Weihong lack stubbornness?

Listen!

How fresh!

"Speak! Are you mute?"

"You're quite the talker, aren't you? Last year, or the year before, when we went to the military region for a meeting, weren't you, Commander Guan, still arguing with everyone?"

"Do you know what the leader from Yanjing said to me after the meeting?"

"Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing, Master Guan!"

"Where's your former glory? Show it to them! Let the armed police and public security comrades know about your great achievements, Commander Guan, and broaden their horizons!"

Guan Jiwu wanted to remain silent, but Pei Tianren wouldn't let him off so easily.

Guan Jiwu immediately unleashed a string of techniques he had accumulated over decades of military service, leaving Zhao Weihong in awe and longing. She secretly realized that Guan Jiwu still had much to learn on his military journey.

With this way of speaking that "kills without shedding blood and harms others without leaving a trace," Zhao Weihong will surely be able to use it when he leads troops in the future!
Thinking about this, Zhao Weihong suddenly realized that she had never truly led troops before.

The breeding teams and the new recruit training brigades were all internal appointments, small-scale operations, and didn't count for anything.

The same applies to the current position of intern platoon leader.

The only thing that was recognized by the organization was his position as a squad leader in the guard company of the 347th Regiment during his second year of service.

At that time, Zhao Weihong basically didn't care much about the affairs of the platoon. She didn't treat the platoon leader as the "mother of the army" at all, and didn't worry about the big and small things in the platoon. She also didn't try to cultivate a "local youth" who had just entered the army into a loyal and reliable soldier of the Republic, starting from the recruit company.

This is the difference between "leading troops" and "training".

Training is an indispensable part of leading troops, but it is by no means the whole story.

It must be said that this is truly a great pity.

This is probably the "happy trouble" caused by progressing too quickly.

Fortunately, Zhao Weihong still has a chance to make up for her regrets.

As per usual.

Newly graduated platoon leaders will still be in the "internship" stage after arriving at the unit, and will not be assigned specific tasks.

Instead, they must first participate in "pre-job training" that lasts for one month or several months, depending on the traditions, nature, and functions of the military unit.

This training will involve a lot of basic things, such as training in formation and housekeeping, and will even include evaluations to rank the various training classes.

From a certain perspective, this stage can also be called the cadres' "new recruit training camp".

After the training, the internship phase for the new platoon leaders will not end. Instead, they will participate in the new recruit training that year, and as new recruit platoon leaders, they will work with the new recruits to complete their transformation and become a member of their glorious collective.

Before we knew it, half a year had passed.

But this "pre-employment internship" phase doesn't end here.

Each platoon leader will have to spend a few more months at the grassroots level before they can begin their "assigned positions" and truly take up their respective posts during the routine personnel adjustment period in May or June.

Whether it's a newly promoted officer with a salary of 1.1 yuan or a PhD who joined the army with a salary of 2.1 yuan.

After graduation, everyone has to go through this process.

The military has a very long tradition of personnel training, and no one can escape it.

If those officers who entered military academies right after the college entrance examination encountered such a process, they might cry and scream, and be extremely resistant.

This is not the kind of light-hearted training you get at military academies. Five kilometers, four hundred meters—you have to strive for excellence in every subject.

If you're not physically fit, a pre-job training session can be as painful as "being skinned alive and having your tendons pulled out"!

But for Zhao Weihong, this year before being assigned to a specific position was no different from a "paid vacation".

Zhao Weihong can also take this opportunity to return to the recruit training camp and make up for her regrets.

If possible, Zhao Weihong would even like to serve as a squad leader for new recruits, to make up for all the experiences she missed, and to pick out a few promising recruits to take back to the Second Red Company for proper training!

Thinking of this, Zhao Weihong suddenly felt a surge of ambition and looked forward to life after graduation even more!
Meanwhile, Guan Jiwu, who had been relentlessly attacked by Pei Tianren for over ten minutes, had his face covered in Pei Tianren's spittle and was completely numb. He didn't dare to open his mouth and could only stand at attention like a greenhorn.

Although Guan Jiwu's expression and posture seemed normal.

But Zhao Weihong still sensed from him an aura of "it would be better to die."

"Get out of here and stand over there!"

"Stop getting in my way!"

Pei Tianren roughly shoved Guan Jiwu aside, then looked at Zhao Weihong, who was sitting upright to the side, and immediately showed a smile full of appreciation.

This was clearly a case of "differential treatment," but it no longer stirred the slightest emotion in Guan Jiwu's heart.

A few hours ago, Guan Jiwu might have been secretly grumbling to himself.

But now, Guan Jiwu, who has suffered a series of setbacks, has long been used to it, and is even looking forward to what kind of trouble Pei Tianren will cause next.

We can't just let Zhao Weihong take over the division commander position after he leaves, can we?

But Guan Jiwu was disappointed.

The main subject of that report, and the person the three leaders most wanted to see, was none other than Zhao Weihong, who was sitting quietly to the side at that moment.

Only Pei Tianren was still angry with him for his past actions, so he took the opportunity to give him a warning.

Pei Tianren has vented his anger, so who has time to bother with him now!

"Come, come, Wei Hong, sit wherever you like."

Before we start chatting, I need to apologize to you.

"If it weren't for the three of us wanting to meet you, you'd probably still be leading a team on stakeout, right?" "Speaking of which, the three of us have really held back a talented person like you from the opportunity to shine in the joint operation. Don't hold it against us!"

"Old Pei is right!"

"Wei Hong, is it okay if I call you that?"

The armed police chief, who was already very interested in Zhao Weihong, suddenly took over the conversation and spoke to Zhao Weihong in a friendly and approachable manner.

"Don't worry, the three of us won't take up too much of your time."

"I know you young people are energetic and always want to bring honor to yourselves and your team."

"When I was young, I was the same way. I would only sleep three hours a day, and I would still be full of energy the next day!"

"That's what young people should be like!"

The last man in the Zhongshan suit did not speak, but simply looked at Zhao Weihong kindly.

Although the People's Armed Police and the People's Liberation Army are not in the same system, they are both soldiers. They often meet during the tri-service competitions, so there is not much of a sense of distance between them.

However, there is still a layer between the public security department and these two, so it is not appropriate to show too much enthusiasm, but this does not prevent him from appreciating Zhao Weihong.

Compared to Pei Tianren and the other man, the man in the Zhongshan suit actually understood Zhao Weihong better.

For example, long before the operation began, the man in the Zhongshan suit knew about the connection between Zhao Weihong and Deputy Chief Wei, and he also knew that Zhao Weihong had once set foot deep inside the Red Wall, and that her future achievements were limitless!
But due to his position and status, he could only sit there quietly, occasionally smiling and nodding at Zhao Weihong.

During this process, Zhao Weihong, the person involved, did not listen to Pei Tianren's words to relax her posture. Instead, she kept her back straight like a pine tree, exuding a composure that was extremely inconsistent with her age and appearance.

He never avoided the gazes of the three leaders, and whenever their eyes met, he would always give a just-right response.

Even Guan Jiwu, who saw this, couldn't help but admire his junior brother's extraordinary character.

Back when he was Zhao Weihong's age, he would never have seen three leaders of that rank at the same time.

Just one of them was enough to keep him so excited he couldn't sleep for days and nights!

If I were lucky enough to have a few words with the leader, I would be so eager to mention it when I wrote home, and also let my family know what was happening at the ancestral graves.

How could anyone remain as calm as Zhao Weihong?

"Sir, I dare not accept such a compliment."

"Even if I work very hard, I've never slept only three hours a day. How can I compare to you when you were young?"

"Besides, your generation had a much tougher time. The pressure and responsibility you had to bear for the same job and the same career is unimaginable to our generation."

"All I can do is try my best to keep up with your pace, hold the baton you have passed to me firmly, and wait to hand it over to my next generation more easily in the future."

Guan Jiwu: "."

After hearing Zhao Weihong's words, Guan Jiwu suddenly wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He felt dizzy, as if he were dreaming. Everything in front of him and the sounds in his ears were so unreal and unreal.

Guan Jiwu is even reflecting on his mistakes.

Is there something I did that wasn't quite right?

That's why Zhao Weihong, a model young man who is flawless in every way, has never spoken to him in this manner before.
Guan Jiwu even felt a little sour inside.

To be honest, his relationship with Zhao Weihong was much closer than that with Pei Tianren and the others.

He was both a senior and a mentor. When we were stationed in the company, I even lived in the same class as Zhao Weihong. We were comrades who shared joys and sorrows.

Why have I never received a kind word from Zhao Weihong?
"Hahaha, good!"

"Wei Hong, meeting you is the biggest gain for me personally in this operation!"

"I've heard Lao Wang mention you before, praising you like a treasure, but I didn't take it seriously."

"Having met you today, I can say you truly live up to your reputation!"

Pei Tianren was clearly very satisfied with Zhao Weihong's statement, and the smile on his face immediately became even more amiable.

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore."

"Let's talk about serious business first."

"When I have time in the future, I'll invite Lao Wang over, and we can sit together again, have some tea, and chat!"

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you alone, but you know Old Wang's temper."

"They'll think I'm trying to run away with you, and they'll definitely turn against me!"

I can tell.

Zhao Weihong was very much to Pei Tianren's liking, and he even started joking with her!

And this was also thanks to Guan Jiwu.

If it weren't for his stubbornness, standing there as a "reference point," Zhao Weihong wouldn't have been able to gain such a good impression in the minds of several leaders.

Pei Tianren's words were exactly what Zhao Weihong wanted to hear, so she immediately straightened her already standard sitting posture even more, adopting an attitude of "sitting upright and listening attentively".

"Speaking of the important matter, there was actually only one thing to discuss."

"But after you came here, this matter has to be put on the back burner."

"Wei Hong, why don't you tell us a few stories first?"

"Your self-developed working methods, and the process by which you determined the location for your stakeout."

"Tell me slowly, and don't miss any details."

"We have plenty of time tonight!"

When Zhao Weihong arrived in Kunming, it was already very late.

Then came the work of organizing the manuscripts and giving reports, which took several more hours.

This far exceeds the troops' usual lights-out time, and even exceeds the normal rest time of the three leaders.

But at this moment, just like Pei Tianren's words.

We should postpone taking a break.

Moreover, since the operation began, none of the three leaders have gone to bed during their normal rest time. Even when they do rest, one of them has to stay on duty to oversee the overall situation.

Although Pei Tianren and the others are older, they cannot compare with the young Zhao Weihong in terms of energy.

But in terms of attitude and enthusiasm for work, they are no less than Zhao Weihong, and may even be better!
