Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 573: Why are you pretending to be so reserved? Get excited!

33rd Combined Brigade, in the brigade headquarters conference room.

Lu Chong hurried back and convened a core meeting as soon as he finished dealing with the important matters at hand.

In the conference room, the brigade commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, as well as battalion commanders and political instructors who received the notice were all present.

There were old faces present before the division was reorganized into a brigade, as well as new people who were transferred in after the reorganization.

But what is certain is that everyone present is the core of the brigade.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Lu Chong walked in hurriedly with a notebook in his hand.

"Hello, Brigadier!"

As soon as everyone stood up and had no time to salute, Lu Chong waved his hand to stop them and asked them to sit down quickly.

Usually, this only happens when there is an emergency or a major incident.

This means that the content of the next meeting is very important.

After Lu Chong sat down, he spoke straight to the point without any politeness.

"Yesterday afternoon, I accompanied my leader to Beijing to discuss personnel allocation at the XX Military Academy."

"It's located in the capital, and it's a top university. Other war zones have also assigned personnel to it. The negotiation process was very difficult, and no one was willing to give in."

"But fortunately, the deputy commander was able to persuade others with his sincerity and emotional appeal."

"Ultimately, we in the Southwest took the initiative at the negotiation table and successfully secured nearly 60% of the high-quality troops!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present widened their eyes and clenched their fists.

One by one, they were almost shouting out in excitement.

But everyone kept the military appearance and discipline in mind and did not lose their composure.

However, Lu Chong was somewhat dissatisfied with this, so he continued.

"This year's graduating class covers a wide range of fields. Both their performance and abilities are significantly higher than any previous class."

"This division of forces is different from previous ones. We will no longer just pick out the leftovers from other war zones and give them to us."

"Instead, we in the southwest pick first, and then the other war zones get their turn after we've transferred everything. Simply put, we pick the cabbage hearts, and leave them the leaves!"

"Um!!"

Everyone punched their thighs hard with their fists.

Gritting his teeth, he let out an excited and silent cry.

After being a grandson for so many times, this time I can finally be a grandfather and eat meat!

Lu Chong raised his eyebrows. "Also, the higher-ups also said that our 33rd Combined Brigade will be ranked first when it comes to allocation."

"The many problems you've been complaining about before, such as the lack of quality among some junior officers, a shortage of top talent, outdated and rigid training programs, and inability to use some high-end equipment, will no longer be a problem!"

"yeah!!!"

At this moment, everyone stopped pretending.

Everyone waved their fists excitedly.

The spit can fly to the opposite table.

Changing divisions into brigades and regiments into battalions means that all units need a major overhaul.

It's like having an operation. Everyone is recovering from their injuries and urgently needs a lot of nutrition.

At this time, each unit is most short of people and most in need of talented people.

What does it mean for a cadet soldier from the country's top military academy to join the 33rd Combined Brigade?

This means that outstanding graduates from Tsinghua University and Peking University will collectively move into a newly integrated small and micro enterprise in third- and fourth-tier cities.

As direct beneficiaries, how could they not be happy and excited?

He looked at the group of people under his command, all of whom were clapping and cheering wildly.

Only then did Lu Chong show a perfectly satisfied smile on his face.

That's pretty much it!

Why are you all pretending to be so reserved? I laughed all the way back and my face was cramping from laughing!

"Commander, our Third Battalion is in urgent need of people with communications technology. We just replaced our communications equipment two months ago, and those rookies still haven't figured it out. I'm so worried I'm almost turning gray!"

"Well, I'll arrange it for you when the time comes!"

"Commander, our Sixth Battalion has always wanted to emulate the First Battalion (Steel Blade Combined Battalion) and form an electronic warfare unit. In previous exercises, we suffered heavy losses due to enemy electronic jamming. Now we're short of equipment and personnel who understand this area!"

"So you have nothing and are just daydreaming? To be determined, wait until you have the equipment!"

"Commander, our Eighth Battalion wants to strengthen the combat effectiveness of our reconnaissance company. After several months of training, we haven't seen any results. We need some talents who understand training and leadership, preferably those with special operations command..."

The conference room suddenly became lively, and all the battalion commanders and instructors put aside their pride and wanted to ask for people.

Even the government offices and logistics departments have expressed their hope to get some.

In this way, work efficiency can be improved and tasks will become much easier.

However, the instructor Guo Haitao, who represented the first battalion to attend the meeting, didn't say much from beginning to end.

As Ge Zhiyong's old partner and one of Qin Feng's mentors, he knew the inside story.

As the ace of the brigade, or even the ace unit of the army, he didn't need to speak at all, because the Steel Knife Combined Battalion would definitely be the one that benefited the most.

Lu Chong waved his hand, pausing the heated discussion. "Alright, everyone, be quiet. We'll have another meeting later to discuss the allocation of troops. It'll take a week for the troops to arrive, so be prepared."

Everyone sat up straight and nodded vigorously, their eyes still unable to hide the excitement and joy.

But at this moment, Lu Chong restrained his smile and said seriously, "The second matter is about the rewards and commendations for the outstanding soldiers in this peacekeeping mission, as well as the treatment of the wounded?"

"Among them, the two most seriously injured are the First Battalion Commander Ge Zhiyong and a young non-commissioned officer from the First Battalion, Lu Xiaoguang."

"Currently, the doctor's assessment is that even if he wakes up, he may still be disabled at level 2-3. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on this."

Everyone immediately started a discussion.

Some people say that Lu Xiaoguang is a hero, and if he cannot wake up, the army should support him for the rest of his life.

And, take good care of and settle his mother.

Some people also said that Lu Xiaoguang was seriously injured during the peacekeeping mission.

He should be set as an example, and all soldiers should be called upon to learn from him and be awarded the first-class medal of merit.

Some people also said that first-class merit was too great, and second-class merit was enough. Although the injury was serious, it was not to the point of sacrifice.

Finally, the conversation turned to the question of whether Lu Xiaoguang could continue to serve in the army after his injury healed.

Everyone has their own opinion on this point of view.

Some people think that they can stay in the army and continue to serve, but they have to retreat to the logistics department, and they have to be as marginal as possible.

Some people also believe that even if he goes to the logistics department, given his physical condition, he may still need someone to take care of him.

Moreover, if there is an emergency and training, maneuvering, or business trips are required, how can Lu Xiaoguang withstand the ordeal?

Finally, the vast majority of people believe that although Lu Xiaoguang has made contributions, his physical fitness has seriously deteriorated, and he has even reached a state where he has difficulty taking care of himself.

The only option is to follow the army's rules and regulations and let them take off their uniforms and return to the people.

The development of the army is progressing at a high speed, but so many people have left the army due to disarmament, and so many tears and resentment have been shed.

The purpose is to get rid of fat, complete slimming and streamlining, and accelerate the construction of a strong military.

If the green light is given to Lu Xiaoguang alone, it would be unfair to the many people who left during the disarmament.

Besides, the army does not keep idle people, and it is impossible to allocate extra manpower to take care of a "disabled person" for a long time.

Even though he is a hero, even though he has made contributions.

After hearing everyone's discussion, Lu Chong had a rough idea in his mind, but he did not rush to make a decision on the matter.

Instead, he skipped directly and went straight to the third and most important item on the meeting agenda.

"Finally, I would like to announce the appointment of a new comrade..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door and a report.

Lü Chong smiled: "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear...Come in!"
