Who taught you to be a soldier like this!

Chapter 583

Anyone who has worked at the grassroots level knows this.

I'm not afraid of superiors giving random orders; I'm afraid of superiors sending people down to give random orders.

For example, a certain transport captain, when he found that his telephone micro-management was being gradually ignored by the generals at the front, immediately used the "airdrop order" tactic, which, if not immortalized, is certainly infamous, to directly buy himself a plane ticket to Taiwan.
Grassroots work is ever-changing, and new situations can arise at any time.

If we blindly follow a predetermined goal or plan, we will inevitably fall into a rigid and inflexible state and lose our most valuable "subjective initiative".

The saying "When a general is in the field, he may disobey some of the military orders" illustrates this principle.

"Old Chen, we need to make this agreement!"

"Let's first assess the quality of this advisor."

"If he's really capable, then there's no question, I, Qian Wanli, will follow his lead without question!"

"But if he's all show and no substance, and looks down on the down-to-earth nature of us grassroots comrades, then we shouldn't take him seriously!"

At this point, Qian Wanli sneered, picked up the crumpled cigarette box from the table, fumbled around for a long time, and finally took out a cigarette, put it to his lips and lit it.

Amidst the flickering firelight, Qian Wanli's narrowed eyes flashed with a fierce coldness.

"If it's your side, I'll handle it; I'll leave my side to you!"

"Anyway, we're from two different systems. After the joint operation is over, we'll go our separate ways and not worry about saving face for anyone!"

"Guidance is not about messing around, much less giving orders!"

"Whether we listen or not is up to us two who do the work!"

Faced with Qian Wanli's straightforward and blunt style.

Chen Zheng couldn't keep up with his pace for a moment, so he didn't respond.

Qian Wanli wasn't in a hurry; he just silently smoked and waited for Chen Zheng's reply.

He wasn't worried that Chen Zheng would reject his proposal.

After spending time with Chen Zheng, Qian Wanli had figured out his character. He was definitely a good cadre and a good officer!
Given their personalities, they could accept that they would only achieve mediocre results in this operation and become supporting characters.

But it is absolutely unacceptable for someone to parachute in and mess things up, and not take these grassroots soldiers who face danger seriously!

Thinking of the faces of those he had spent every day with in the team, Chen Zheng finally nodded.

"Okay, let's try it out according to your suggestion."

"However, we need to agree on three rules. We can't show any resistance to them right away."

"We should observe carefully, just like you said, and only if it really doesn't work out can we proceed in this way."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wanli immediately nodded vigorously. After hearing the news that his superiors were going to send someone down to provide guidance, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Don't underestimate Chen Zheng and Qian Wanli just because they are platoon leaders in their respective systems.

But the roles they are playing now are no less significant than those Zhao Weihong played a few days ago.

Together, the two of them commanded roughly the strength of an entire company of soldiers, and the entire town they were currently stationed in could be considered their "territory."

It can be said that the two of them together are the "temporary leaders" of this team at present.

Unless they both agree, even if the other party is a staff officer from the General Headquarters, they can't bypass them to command anyone!

"Don't worry, I, Old Qian, will not neglect the proper etiquette."

"No matter who comes, we have to give the headquarters some face."

"Besides, I'm not an unreasonable person, what would I do?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Chen Zheng and Qian Wanli heard the shouts coming from the camp gate through the open window.

"Comrade, please get off the bus to register!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the news, Chen Zheng immediately went to the window and saw a figure in camouflage leave the driver's seat of the black Audi. Instead of communicating with the sentry, the figure quickly walked towards the passenger seat on the other side.

But before he could even reach his seat, the black car door, exuding an air of restraint, was slowly opened.

Chen Zheng didn't even have time to look at the passengers. After getting off the car, he decisively grabbed his hat and belt and ran towards the door, not forgetting to call out to Qian Wanli.

"Old Qian, let's go! The staff officers at headquarters should have arrived by now!"

"Something's not right! We only received the notification this morning, why are they here in the middle of the day?"

"Didn't the document say it came from Kunming? Could it be that it set off early this morning?"

The straight-line distance between Kunming and Mangtianlian County is actually not very far.

However, the road conditions in Yunnan are notoriously treacherous, and even on the highway, you can't drive very fast.

Whether you can drive at 120 km/h in Yunnan has little to do with driving skills or vehicle performance; it only depends on how strong your luck is and how long you can maintain it.

Even for passenger transport drivers who make a living this way, it takes eight or nine hours to drive from Kunming to Menglian County.

The fact that this unidentified staff officer was able to arrive at this time can only mean that he had already set off long before Chen Zheng received the notification!

"Old Chen, slow down!"

"He's not some high-ranking official, why are you in such a hurry?"

As he spoke, Qian Wanli gazed at the tall figure who had already stepped down from the passenger seat and said with a hint of sourness.

"Damn it, probably another pedantic scholar."

"They even arrived in an Audi! Even our detachment leader doesn't have that kind of entourage!"

Meanwhile, Li, the squad leader who had tried to open the door for Zhao Weihong to no avail, looked directly at the somewhat bewildered sentry beside him and said with an unfriendly expression.

"Who do you want to register?"

"What's wrong? You've been out for a few days and you don't even recognize people anymore?"

Swallowing nervously, the sentry from the Sixth Company glanced at Zhao Weihong beside him, but quickly looked away after their eyes met, asking incredulously.

"Squad Leader Li, Platoon Leader Zhao, what brings you two here?"

Upon hearing this, Squad Leader Li, who had been driving for nearly ten hours and was quite sore in the back, immediately stared wide-eyed and asked the question.

"What do you mean?"

"Your boss didn't inform us about our coming?"

"The platoon leader did notify that someone was coming, but wasn't he referring to a staff officer from the general headquarters?"

The sentry glanced cautiously at Zhao Weihong's face and, seeing that his reaction was relatively normal, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wondering to himself, "How did this 'living father' end up here?"

Isn't the area of ​​responsibility of the First Battalion in the neighboring county?

"What words!"

"Are you looking at me because I don't look like a driver for a headquarters staff officer, or because our platoon leader doesn't look like a headquarters staff officer?"

Rolling his eyes at the sentry, Squad Leader Li nodded smugly in the direction of Zhao Weihong.

"Remember this! From now on, get rid of all those old impressions in your head!" "Our platoon leader is a staff officer sent down from the General Headquarters to guide the operations throughout Mangtianlian County!"

"Don't even mention your platoon leader, even if the Sixth Company Commander and the Second Battalion Commander came, they would have to listen to our platoon leader now!"

this moment.

Squad Leader Li was incredibly proud!

Having served as a driver for so many years, including several commanders of the Second Company, Squad Leader Li felt this honored for the first time!
Wei Tao and Wu Fengxu had the authority to give orders to the Second Battalion Commander.

Zhao Weihong now also has the authority to order the Second Battalion Commander!
If you round it up, then Mr. Li can be considered to have become the driver of a regimental commander, reaching the pinnacle of his life!
"Old Zhao?"

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Zhao Weihong, who was holding a black briefcase, looked in the direction of the sound and met Chen Zheng's surprised and uncertain gaze.

"How did you come?"

Chen Zheng glanced at the black Audi parked next to Zhao Weihong, and although he found it hard to believe, he accepted the reality before him.

Zhao Weihong was a staff officer sent down by the General Headquarters to provide guidance!
In fact, Chen Zheng had already recognized Zhao Weihong the moment he saw him.

However, Zhao Weihong's current attire was a complete departure from her usual style. Chen Zheng took a few steps closer and saw Zhao Weihong's face before he dared to confirm it.

Wearing a military uniform, pointed leather shoes, and carrying a black briefcase that he had somehow acquired, Zhao Weihong had a firm grasp on the "style" of a government official!

Let alone Chen Zheng, even if the other members of the Second Red Company came now, they wouldn't believe it was Zhao Weihong if they took a sudden look!

When Zhao Weihong saw Chen Zheng, she seemed a little surprised, but she quickly recovered, stepped forward, and gave Chen Zheng a genuine smile.

"What a coincidence!"

"You're actually in charge of leading this area!"

"Old Chen, we two are quite destined to be together again, and now we can fight side by side once more!"

Seeing Zhao Weihong and Chen Zheng's warm interaction, Qian Wanli, who had rushed over, was a little confused and stood there for a while before belatedly asking.

"Platoon Leader Chen, you two know each other?"

"I know him! Of course I know him!"

"Old Zhao and I are great partners who fought side by side on the training field!"

"Old Zhao, let me introduce you. This is Qian Wanli, the officer in charge of the team from the Armed Police."

After saying that, Chen Zheng looked at Qian Wanli and continued with a smile.

"And the staff officer from headquarters that we were just discussing in the room is none other than this famous trainee platoon leader in our regiment!"

"Zhao Weihong!"

"Zhao Weihong?"

Somewhat puzzled, Qian Wanli repeated Zhao Weihong's name. He felt that he was somewhat familiar with these three words and Zhao Weihong's appearance.

After racking his brains for a while, Qian Wanli's eyes suddenly lit up, and an expression of admiration and longing appeared on his rugged face!
"I remember now! I recognize you!"

"Isn't Zhao Weihong the sharpshooter who participated in the Military World Games!"

"You have no idea, those snipers in our squadron talk about you every day, I'm so tired of hearing it!"

"If they hear you're also participating in this operation, they'll definitely want to challenge you to a duel!"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Only a true sniper specializing in shooting would know just how terrifying Zhao Weihong's shooting skills are!
Even Zhao Weihong himself was unaware that his legend had already spread among snipers from various branches of the military!

He is like a towering mountain, a mountain that every sniper wants to challenge and climb over!
What's most talked about is that Zhao Weihong wasn't actually a professional sniper.

This achievement, which others look up to with awe, is nothing more than a small accomplishment that Zhao Weihong made casually during his military career!
However, Zhao Weihong herself takes a completely indifferent attitude towards these honors and laurels in the eyes of others, remaining calm and composed.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely experience the strength of my fellow armed police officers."

"But the current situation doesn't allow us to think about these things."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wanli slapped his forehead and expressed some regret.

"Look at my brain!"

"I was so excited that I forgot about the important matter!"

"Comrade Zhao Weihong, you..."

"Don't be so outspoken."

Zhao Weihong, unusually, interrupted Qian Wanli, smiling and speaking politely yet warmly.

"Since we've all come together, we're comrades-in-arms, so don't be so formal."

"If you don't mind, just call me Old Zhao, like Old Chen does!"

At this point, Zhao Weihong felt a pang of emotion.

He's only in his early twenties, and in many people's eyes, he's just a greenhorn entering society.

But now, he has become someone who is considered "old" in the eyes of others, and even Zhao Weihong has gotten used to being called that.

"Hey! You don't like it?"

"It's obvious that I'm the one who's out of line!"

Don't be fooled by Qian Wanli's fierce demeanor in the office just now, where he seemed ready to fight to the death and even give the staff officer from headquarters, Zhao Weihong, a hard time.

But he was a very traditional soldier.

He is bold, rugged, and deeply respects capable people.

Originally, he was only worried that the people from headquarters would mess things up and affect the operation, which was a minor matter. What he was afraid of was that it would endanger the lives of his brothers!

This is a real combat mission; the slightest mistake could result in casualties, leaving no room for error!

But after seeing that the visitor was actually Zhao Weihong, Qian Wanli no longer had any such concerns.
Based on Zhao Weihong's incredible marksmanship, Qian Wanli knew that Zhao Weihong couldn't possibly be the pretty face he hated the most!
Seeing that Zhao Weihong wanted to get closer to him, Qian Wanli was naturally happy to accept and immediately changed his tune.

"Old Zhao, you and the driver haven't eaten yet after such a bumpy ride, have you?"

After Zhao Weihong nodded, Qian Wanli immediately took out the walkie-talkie from his waist and gave the order with full confidence.

"Driver, prepare the vehicle!"

"It's past mealtime now. It would be too much of a waste of time to have the cooks prepare food now, and they wouldn't be able to make anything of any quality anyway."

"Let's take advantage of our lunch break to grab a quick bite to eat, fill our stomachs, and then talk about work."

Seeing that Zhao Weihong frowned slightly, as if she was resisting, Qian Wanli immediately added.

"Old Zhao, don't worry, it won't delay important business."

"We're just an ordinary town, not very big. You won't find any delicacies, but you can still find home-cooked meals."

"The restaurant is only a few hundred meters away from our base; it's just around the corner."

"If any unexpected situation arises, we can respond immediately and guarantee that there will be no problems!"
