Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1198 This is a pyramid scheme!

"Hahaha, Director Qin, the training program you brought is truly amazing!"

"I went down to inspect the area today, and the soldiers were training with incredible energy, like they were on steroids!"

"Especially the two rewards of priority promotion and lasting fame through filming are truly strokes of genius!"

An office in the training section of the Thunder Leopard Special Forces Brigade was temporarily requisitioned to become Qin Feng's office.

As the head of the military training department, a division-level officer, it is perfectly normal for him to go to subordinate units to guide and lead troops.

Initially, Lei Kaiwen was somewhat resistant to Qin Feng's arrival, worried that he was sent by his superiors to punish them and settle scores with the combined arms brigade.

After a few days, the Lei Bao Special Forces' enthusiasm for training soared to unprecedented heights. Even the battalion commander couldn't help but marvel at Qin Feng's competence as the training director.

Qin Feng was making corrections on a roster with a pen, speaking without looking up.

“Lu Chong’s combined arms brigade is arrogant and complacent, and has stopped making progress, so it needs to be whipped from behind.”

"This is a common problem in conventional troops, and it's a problem that occurs in every unit. After all, they rarely get to experience actual combat, so it's hard to avoid complacency."

“You Lei Bao, quite the opposite…”

Lei Kaiwen took the initiative to add some hot water to Qin Feng's cup using the thermos, signaling him to continue.

He enjoys hearing others praise his unit. Due to the special nature of special forces, these units are often disciplined and rarely become lax.

Qin Feng said thank you, and then continued, "Your Lei Bao unit is the opposite. They have been emphasizing and focusing on realistic combat training, and the atmosphere in the unit is not as relaxed as in regular units."

"But once you reach a certain level, it becomes very difficult to go any higher."

Kevin asked, "So, how did you come up with that idea?"

Qin Feng stopped writing, looked up at him, and asked, "Captain Lei, when did you start dating, and when did you get married?"

Lei Kaiwen was stunned, clearly not expecting Qin Feng to ask such a question.

Because Kong Laiye followed him into the office, he felt a little embarrassed to speak.

On the contrary, Kong Lai pricked up his ears, eager to hear the gossip, just waiting for the captain to speak.

Qin Feng didn't delve into the matter, but instead explained to himself: "Human potential is limitless. To give a simple example, if you've been carrying bricks on a construction site all day, and you're so tired that you don't want to move a single finger and just want to go home and sleep."

"But at this moment, the girl you've been pursuing suddenly messages you, asking you to go for a run together. How would you feel?"

"That must be excitement, a feeling of being full of energy!"

Kong Lai spoke without hesitation.

Lei Kaiwen stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He had actually experienced something like this before, being so exhausted from supervising training that he could barely speak.

But as soon as I hear my daughter's voice on the phone, as soon as I hear her call "Dad," I feel instantly recharged.

My back doesn't ache anymore, my legs don't hurt anymore, and I can even run ten kilometers on the track without any effort!

Qin Feng frankly stated, "When you encounter people you care about and things you enjoy, you naturally become more motivated. Leaving aside the priority for promotion, how many young soldiers wouldn't want to appear in military-themed films, especially those co-produced by the war zone and the August First Film Studio?"

"If things go wrong, it could become a masterpiece that will be remembered for generations. This would be the highlight of my military career, even more tempting than winning a third-class merit award."

"In layman's terms, it means giving your soldiers two tangible and visible targets to pick up."

"Then let them chase each other, compete against each other, and fight each other, until finally the best of the best are chosen..."

Kong Long laughed: "Now that you mention it, it sounds like raising a venomous insect."

Qin Feng shook his head: "Raising Gu is self-destruction, cannibalism. It's healthy competition, and the capable rise to the top."

Lei Kaiwen was deeply impressed by this well-reasoned analysis, as the logic was very simple.

But apart from Qin Feng, most people really wouldn't think of using these things to motivate soldiers.

The phrase "defend the homeland" truly inspired countless soldiers to fight on.

However, in the context of peacetime, some things need to be adjusted slightly.

With a general outline and detailed rules, we can guide our soldiers to scale new heights.

Lei Kaiwen asked with a smile, "The film crew next door has already been forcibly cleared out. When will the drama you mentioned, which is a co-production between the war zone and the August First Film Studio, start preparations? Is it still being filmed here?"

Qin Feng: "No rush."

"Well, there has to be a precise timeframe for project approval, right?"

"hold on"

"what happened?"

"We're currently facing some minor issues..."

"what is the problem?"

Kong Long asked curiously.

Qin Feng said with a smile, "We don't have enough funds, the actors haven't been cast, and there's no script yet."

"What?" Lei Kaiwen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Isn't this just an empty promise? Director Qin, you didn't say that in the meeting. You clearly said that the project had already started!"

"It's starting up."

"How could there be insufficient funding, uncast actors, and no script yet?"

"Startup failed; the embryo was stillborn."

"..."

Looking at Qin Feng's shameless face, it was clear that his skin was thicker than a city wall.

Both Lei Kaiwen and his companion had their eyes twitching wildly; they were furious.

This guy is a complete fraud, a total liar!

Kong Lai was the first to lose his composure: "Director Qin, you must be joking with us. We've already made the promises we were supposed to make. Many soldiers are so enthusiastic just because they want to appear in movies and TV shows."

"Although considering the principle of confidentiality, I will have to wear heavy makeup and camouflage paint."

"But no matter what, we have to at least give them a cameo in the show to keep our promise!"

Qin Feng shrugged: "So what? I'll be gone by then."

Lei Kaiwen almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

You left, but the mess is still here.

"Comrade Qin Feng, this is no laughing matter. If you just walk away and we can't keep our promise, it could very well lead to a crisis of trust."

"The military has always been a place where rewards and punishments are clearly defined. You get what you deserve, and you can't just agree to things you can't do. Otherwise, you're just mortgaging the soldiers' expectations."

"Once this precedent is set, it will be no longer effective to use rewards to boost morale, and no one will believe it."

Qin Feng waved his hand: "Don't make it sound so serious. The problems I mentioned earlier aren't unsolvable, are they?"

"How to deal with it?"

The two men frowned and stared intently at Qin Feng.

They were afraid that this guy would set them up again and make empty promises.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "The main problem is funding; the latter two are easier to solve. Captain Lei, you have extensive connections and know many people in various war zones. You can come up with some ideas."

"If we can just bring back a few tens of millions, this matter will be settled, won't it?"

"You want me to raise the money? Are you kidding me? I'm not a banker!"

Qin Feng had anticipated the two's strong reactions.

He waved his hand and said slyly.

"It's not that we're asking you to give up everything, but that we're asking you to allocate a portion from Lei Bao's accounts first to set an example and then attract investment from other war zones."

"Each war zone has reserve funds and publicity and propaganda funds. Many hands make light work."

"Just tell them that this is a contribution to the military and the special operations cause, and that it is the first film and television work that our military has truly produced independently."

"And by the way, promise them that the more money they invest, the more screen time they'll get, and they might even be able to film in their war zone. Isn't that the best recruitment propaganda?"

Kong Long was caught up in the situation and said thoughtfully, "This sounds plausible, and it seems quite reliable?"

Lei Kaiwen roared in fury: "Reliable my ass! What's the difference between this and pyramid schemes, where you recruit downlines?! I have a reputation I've built up over my entire life, I would never do something so despicable!"
