Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Listening to Zhang Anbang's words, Zhao Zerui looked at the deputy section chief in front of him, who had a nonchalant expression, and a word suddenly popped into his mind: show-off.

His deputy section chief's expression at this moment vividly illustrates this word, and it's the kind of extremely natural, effortless, and most lethal kind of subtle showing off.

As a veteran clerk with over ten years of experience, how could he not know what a truly completed manuscript is?

A complete document is not finished once it is written. Even if the text is complete, the pictures are standardized, and the data is accurate, it can only be considered as the first draft.

After the first draft is completed, it will be submitted to the section chief for review and annotation. The section chief will annotate all the unsuitable and inaccurate parts with a red pen, delete, add, and correct them, and then return it to the drafter for revision.

Even if this draft was written by Zhang Anban and this deputy section chief, it's not acceptable. All the comments in red pen must be corrected until there are no remaining revisions, no contradictory content, and no data errors.

The accompanying hand-drawn site map has also been checked and found to be completely accurate, with lines, points, and numbering all being complete and standardized.

Then, Zhang Anbang, the deputy section chief who wrote the proposal, personally signed the only remaining clean original page, marked the date of the final draft, and submitted it to section chief Wang Haiyang.

After the section chief personally signed the first page of the original plan, all the discarded drafts from the writing and drawing were marked as invalid and collected and sealed separately.

Only at this stage is the entire training program considered complete.

After that, the document was handed over to him as a clerk to make the printing plates, check the page numbers, the number of copies of the attached images, count them, and register the receipt.

Moreover, because old-fashioned mechanical typewriters transcribe wax paper, each character had to be compared with the original manuscript. If there were any mistakes, the wax paper had to be re-transcribed immediately.

Topographic maps and zoning tables cannot be typed; therefore, separate hand-drawn illustrations are provided, bound together with the manuscript.

Afterwards, the wax paper is loaded and printed on the printing press. The number of copies is printed according to the number of participating units and agencies to keep. After the printing is dry, the pages are manually separated, aligned, and bound into booklets by hand with cotton thread.

The cover is stamped with the red official seal of the Training Department, indicating the security classification and distribution scope. Then, the "Registration Book for Issuance of Confidential Documents" is filled out, recording the number of copies, the receiving unit, and the recipient.

After everything was completed, the plan was distributed to each participating battalion and company, and copies were sent to the relevant departments such as the headquarters, military affairs, logistics, and reconnaissance. Finally, two copies were kept for the company, one for daily use and one to be transferred to the archives for filing.

This is a complete record-keeping process. The next step involves the specific implementation and execution by the participating units.

Zhao Zerui suddenly remembered an old magazine he had read in the division library before, the 1989 issue of "Educational Research". This book introduced a very important figure, the father of China's aerospace industry, Qian Xuesen.

Zhao Zerui didn't know much originally, but after the successful completion of Shenzhou V manned spaceflight last October, the whole country was in an uproar, and the media repeatedly popularized science, so he learned a lot of information.

For this reason, during his rest time he went to the division library to look up relevant books. This father of aerospace returned to China in the 1950s and 1960s, and took the lead in building missiles and developing the Dongfanghong-1 satellite.

In 1991, he was awarded the title of National Outstanding Scientist, and in 1999, the state awarded him the Two Bombs, One Satellite Medal of Honor.

His deeds have been widely reported by CCTV and People's Daily, and are regularly included in textbooks and supplementary teaching materials for primary and secondary schools across the country, allowing students nationwide to learn about his story from elementary school.

In 2001, the whole country called for learning from Qian Xuesen, and lectures and exhibitions were held in various places. Even ordinary people who did not read books had heard of this name.

The journal *Education Research* contains a record of Qian Xuesen's article, "Designing Our Educational Undertaking for Socialist China in the 21st Century."

There was a sentence in this article that made him feel very ashamed, so that sentence left a deep impression on him.

Qian Xuesen mentioned that the old Beijing Normal University Affiliated High School taught algebra and calculus in high school. If a child entered school at age 4 and graduated from high school at age 14, the student could fully grasp the basics of calculus and complete a master's degree at age 18.

When he saw that sentence, he didn't really want to read any further. The reason he joined the army was not because his family was too poor to afford his education.

It was entirely because he failed the college entrance examination back then, and he did very poorly, not even reaching the minimum requirement of junior college. So he chose to join the army.

Unexpectedly, after joining the army, he ended up becoming a cultured person again.

After the new recruits were assigned to their units, he was soon assigned to be the company's communications officer and clerk because he had a high school diploma. His daily tasks included writing training records, creating blackboard bulletins, and copying notices.

Because the company commander had good reading and map reading skills, he kept him on as the company clerk. Later, when the battalion headquarters was short of internal affairs staff, the company commander recommended him for the position.

The battalion commander sent a letter to temporarily transfer him to be in charge of compiling training data for the entire battalion. Because of his outstanding performance, he was officially promoted to battalion clerk. Later, because he frequently delivered materials to the regimental training section and came into contact with the staff officers, he left an impression on the leaders of the regimental headquarters.

Whenever the regimental training section is short-handed during training, exercises, or assessment periods, and needs to temporarily draw clerks from various battalions who can write materials and draw diagrams to assist, he is the first person they think of.

After several long-term secondments, he was recommended by the regimental staff officer and officially transferred to the regimental training section, becoming a second-term sergeant.

Later, when the division was short of a full-time clerk, he stood out because of his professional skills, knowledge of confidentiality procedures, familiarity with the entire set of rules for the production of plans and the disposal of classified waste paper.

After that, I was officially assigned to the training department as a clerk, and naturally I was promoted to the third term. I have been working in this position for three years now, and I am so familiar with all the procedures that I cannot be more familiar with them.

Even back in 04, after graduating from high school and working in clerical positions for over a decade, he would definitely be considered a cultured person, and in the military, he would be an absolute core cultural backbone.

He couldn't stand that statement, but looking at the deputy section chief in front of him, he suddenly realized that what Old Qian said made sense, it just didn't apply to him.

After packing his things, Zhang Anbang looked at Zhao Zerui, a third-term sergeant clerk, who seemed a little dazed, wondering what was wrong with his old sergeant.

If I knew what he was thinking, I would definitely tell him that the sentence he saw in "Educational Research" was later included in the collection of essays "The Wisdom of the Great Compendium: Qian Xuesen on Education".

Later generations of netizens even modified it into a seemingly ordinary but actually arrogant rhetorical question: "Even if a person is stupid, can't they learn calculus at the age of 14?"

Someone like Qian Xuesen would never say such things. In scientific research, he was extremely rigorous, straightforward and sharp, never compromising on right or wrong, and always taking responsibility for his actions.

In his dealings with others, he is principled and principled in his dealings with outsiders, but gentle and affectionate in his dealings with his family. He keeps his public and private life very separate. In his daily life, he is simple, restrained, self-disciplined, quiet and reserved, and values ​​family warmth.

It's likely that Qian Xuesen never imagined that his objective statement about his early teaching level and his vision for shortening the school system would be edited out of context by a large number of popular science videos, distorted into an arrogant rhetorical question, and become a popular internet meme.
