Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

After another ten hours of travel, the two finally arrived at the territory of the Red Sea Fleet, which is both the shore command center and the flagship's home port, the Pearl Port City of the South China Sea (not Hong Kong, but Zhanjiang, a city full of handsome men and beautiful women).

At this time, the commander of the Red Sea Fleet was concurrently held by Li Rongfeng, the deputy commander of the South China Military Region, who had just taken over as commander of the Red Sea Fleet in January, less than a month ago.

As the chief of the shore command, the fleet commander usually works in the fleet headquarters in the port city, and only boards the warship when going to sea to perform missions, exercises or visits.

The two arrived at just the right time; Commander Li Rongfeng was currently handling official business in the office building.

Having made prior arrangements, the two men met the commander of the Red Sea Fleet without any problems.

After the routine pleasantries and the reporting process, Railway, still smiling, began, "Commander Li, I'm sure you already know why I'm here. I'd like to ask, what do you think is the best way to arrange this personnel reassignment?"

As for Zhang Anbang, a major with a salary of 2.1 cents had virtually no presence in front of the fleet commander. He obediently followed behind the railway, remaining silent throughout, a typical background figure.

His gaze fell on the one-star major general in front of him, his mind racing, secretly wondering how long it would take for this Commander Li to be promoted.

This position is a deputy commander of a major military region, and the standard rank is lieutenant general. It seems that he has only recently taken office and his rank has not yet been adjusted. It is estimated that within a year at most, Commander Li will have another star on his shoulder and be promoted to naval lieutenant general.

Commander Li's expression was calm, and his tone was steady. "The railway, the General Staff has already conveyed your request. I know why you came."

However, you have too many names on your list, and I cannot fulfill them all.

Of course, I can give you people, but at most one or two, and don't even think about training the best; it's absolutely impossible.

Firstly, our Red Sea Fleet is currently facing a pressing mission, and elite soldiers are in high demand.

Secondly, your Lao Lu team has a solid foundation and doesn't lack these top trainees.

I can pick out two capable technical talents for you, but let me be clear, you must return them to me within two or three years at most.

This way, we can alleviate your talent shortage, and our people can also go there to learn and gain experience. It's a win-win situation, and that's what a real win is.

In fact, Commander Li knew in his heart that going to the railway unit would indeed be valuable for training.

However, he had only been in command for less than a month and was still sorting out the entire force. The officers and soldiers below him were not clear about the specific nature of the railway unit, or rather, 99.9% of them did not know about this unit.

If several elite Marines were transferred away at once, especially across military regions and services, it would not only affect troop morale but also look bad to outsiders.

Although in the military, orders must be carried out once they are given, leaders must also take into account the soldiers' feelings.

Moreover, their Marine Corps has its own talent development program, and the training model and combat thinking of the Marines may not be suitable for their amphibious operations needs.

The top trainees on the Red Sea Fleet's roster are all concentrated in the Marine Corps' amphibious reconnaissance and training battalions.

Previously, a captain in the amphibious reconnaissance squadron had heroically sacrificed his life while salvaging the black box of submarine 303.

Now, whether it's the amphibious reconnaissance battalion or the training battalion, the officers and soldiers are all holding their breath, remembering this grudge, and are working hard to intensify their training and prepare for war, just waiting for the opportunity to complete the mission and comfort their fallen comrades.

Removing elite soldiers at this time would undoubtedly severely dampen their enthusiasm and disappoint them. They don't lack excellent training methods; what they lack is advanced information technology application skills. Therefore, sending technical personnel to the railway is the most suitable and prudent choice.

A hint of regret flashed across Tie Lu's face, but he also understood that once the commander had set the tone, there was no room for maneuver.

In particular, he had no connection with Commander Li Rongfeng, so he had no way to play the emotional card.

He had met his predecessor, Wang Xingguo, a few times and they had some connection.

But Commander Wang had already reached retirement age and was enjoying his later years. He absolutely could not bother the old man with such a trivial matter as personnel allocation.

Not only would it disrupt the elderly man's retirement life, but it would also be disrespectful to Commander Li, making it both inappropriate and counterproductive.

Moreover, his core purpose in coming here was to find technical talent and train top-notch personnel, something Lao Lu certainly doesn't lack. Furthermore, the General Staff has already approved the program this year, allowing the selection of several outstanding non-commissioned officers for pilot training. If the pilot program is successful, there will be even less worry about training top-notch personnel in the future.

Having figured this out, Railway immediately put away his regret and solemnly assured him, "Okay, Commander Li, don't worry, I will select at most two technical personnel, and I will absolutely not disrupt your deployment and training plans."

"Okay, that's good," Commander Li Rongfeng nodded, picked up the phone on his desk, and gave a few brief instructions.

Commander Li Rongfeng then turned to the railway and said, "Alright, you can go directly to the Lion Brigade and contact the relevant person in charge. I'm busy with official business here, so I won't entertain you."

"Alright, then we'll trouble Commander Li. We'll head over right away." Tie Lu gave a standard military salute, turned around with Zhang Anbang to say goodbye, and walked briskly out of Commander Li's office.

……

The two traveled in a vehicle temporarily borrowed from the organization towards the Lion Brigade's headquarters.

Looking at the completely different scenery outside the train window, Tie Lu sighed, "Anbang, if you hadn't gone to Tsinghua University as a national defense student, but instead went to Wushan Town Polytechnic College, you'd probably be here now."

Zhang Anbang, driving the car, responded with a grin. Although it wasn't his choice, he still had all the memories.

"Captain, isn't this good enough? Shui Mu is in the capital, who wouldn't want to go to the capital to see it?"

After all, we sang in songs when we were kids: "I love Beijing Tiananmen, the sun rises over Tiananmen, the great leader Chairman Mao guides us forward."

The heart of the motherland, a symbol of unity, the pride of the people, and a guarantee of victory.

The five-star red flag flutters above Tiananmen Square.

"Tell me, with this performance every day, who wouldn't want to go see it? Besides, I'm worried I won't be used to the food from the South."

"Hey kid, I didn't mean it that way. The Lion Brigade we're going to now is commanded by Liu Yu, who was transferred from our old Lu unit in 98. He was originally a marine division of the South China Military Region."

If you had gone to Wushan Town Polytechnic back then, which was exactly the kind of agreement you signed with them, then that old guy would definitely have taken you away if he saw your file.

"Maybe this time I'm here to recruit you."

Railway laughed as he spoke.
