From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 42: The twisted Shi Jin (asking for monthly tickets, follow-up reading, and recommendation tickets)
Wu Liuyi wanted to choose two from his class as well, so he didn't make a direct request to Gao Cheng as that would seem petty, so he made up a decent reason.

"Wu Liuyi, what you said is quite interesting. Let's do as you say. Just change the pen yourself."

Gao Cheng likes soldiers who are competitive and aggressive, and Wu Liuyi is a risk-takers among them. Gao Cheng likes Wu Liuyi as much as Shi Jin, and giving Wu Liuyi appropriate benefits is completely acceptable to Gao Cheng.

Anyway, the new recruit selected by Class 8 is not much stronger than the Bai Tiejun that Wu Liuyi wants to add, so there is no need for Gao Cheng to insist.

In order to lead a company well and become a good company commander, it is necessary to give enough respect to the core squad leaders.

"Hey, thank you, Captain. I'll change it then."

Wu Liuyi's little wish was satisfied, and he happily picked up a pen and started to make changes.

After crossing out the name of the new recruit in Class 8 and adding Bai Tiejun's name next to it, Wu Liuyi was satisfied and gave the document to Jin Dashan next to him.

Jin Dashan himself is self-aware.

Knowing that his personal ability is not as good as Wu Liuyi, and that he is not as good as third-class sergeant Shi Jin in leading and training troops, his position in Gao Cheng's heart is limited.

Jin Dashan was greatly surprised that two new recruits from Class 4 were chosen by the company commander, and he was very satisfied.

So when Wu Liuyi pushed the document over to him, he pushed it back to Wu Liuyi and said with a smile: "Captain, I think these new recruits are pretty good. I can't tell what they are. Let Squad Leader Shi do it. He is much better at judging people than I am."

Shi Jin had already become hopeless, feeling that adding Xu Sanduo to the mix would mean there was no hope at all.

After all, with Xu Sanduo's training results, even though he had worked very hard, he still only barely passed in most subjects, far inferior to other recruits.

Let him pick the better recruits from the list and let the next barely qualified recruit in.

Shi Jin really couldn't lose face.

Taking Xu Sanduo away from the village in the first place had violated the principle of selecting the best soldiers.

Fortunately, there was no violation and no bottom line was crossed. Whether in terms of physical condition or political review, Xu Sanduo met the standards for military service.

As for not having a high school diploma, it is not a rigid standard, but only an individual standard of the 7th Steel Company. Other companies do not have this requirement.

In order to adapt to the modernization reform of the army, the 7th Steel Company has a goal of achieving an "all-high-tech company" within three years.

But now we know that the Seventh Company has the goal of becoming the entire Gaocheng Company. This time we have finally got the opportunity to train a company of new recruits, and Gaocheng wants to train a group of top recruits.

Because of a personal promise, Xu Sanduo, who was obviously not a top student, was forcibly taken to the 7th Steel Company.

This nature is different.

It is obviously detrimental to the interests of the company.

But if he didn't take Xu Sanduo to the Seventh Company, he would not be able to fulfill his promise. The conflict made Shi Jin very conflicted.

My mind has been in a fierce struggle, hesitating whether or not I should make personal demands.

Originally, Shi Jin had almost planned to give up, but Wu Liuyi successfully replaced the soldiers of Class 8 with his own soldiers, allowing Shi Jin to see a glimmer of hope in despair.

The hand that was trying to push the folder out suddenly stopped moving.

He just held the folder with his hand, staring at the name on the document, his facial expression changing constantly, but he didn't utter a word for a long time.

"Sergeant Shi Jin, do you think he fell asleep?" Gao Cheng saw that Shi Jin was worried and teased him deliberately.

"No, no." Shi Jin covered up.

I want to laugh but I can only force it, and laughing is uglier than crying.

"If you're not asleep, then why don't you tell me? Tell me what you think." Gao Cheng said. "No, no opinion, they're all good soldiers, um, I just think... well..." Shi Jin wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it, so he mumbled for a long time.

Gao Cheng couldn't stand it any longer, so he interrupted Shi Jin and urged him, "Don't hesitate, just say it, I'll do it if you say so, and I'll definitely give you face as class monitor Shi Jin."

"Really? Captain, then I...then I really said it." Shi Jin said tentatively.

"Speak, just speak."

Gao Cheng took a puff of his cigarette and said seriously, "You, Shi Jin, are too slow-witted. You see a lot, do a lot, and think a lot, but you never ask me for anything, and you never compete for any honors. You make me feel uneasy.

The army is downsizing every year now, and you, Sergeant Shi, are getting old and are willing to give up all the honors, but I'm afraid I'm not doing you justice.

Therefore, no matter what method I use, I must keep our squad leader Shi Jinshi.

It's a rare occasion that you ask me for something, so I'll put this in your mouth. As long as it's not like you're going to poke a hole in the sky, I'll do my best to satisfy you."

Shi Jin is a well-known good guy, and he is not just good to Xu Sanduo.

Having been in the 7th Steel Company for so many years and as an outstanding backbone that Shi Jin values ​​most, it should be no problem for him to receive a third-class merit and several commendations.

But Shi Jin never competed for these honors, and even took the initiative to give them to others.

When you are still young and are only a first or second class non-commissioned officer, it is nothing. Youth is your capital and there are still many opportunities to strive for.

No matter how sharp the knife of disarmament is, it will not fall on Shi Jin.

But now Shi Jin is already a third-level non-commissioned officer, and there is a big hurdle between the third and fourth levels in the army. Above level four are professional non-commissioned officers, who need to excel in their professional fields.

It is quite difficult for a non-professional core non-commissioned officer like Shi Jin to be promoted to level four.

In addition, Shi Jin gave up all his honors, and until now he doesn't even have a third-class merit. Except for his age, nothing else has increased.

Once the three-term period is up, there will be big trouble.

It’s useless for Gao Cheng to know that Shi Jin is outstanding, because his superiors have to know it.

The leaders usually do not have contact with the grassroots, so the primary criterion for them to judge whether a soldier is good or bad is definitely the honors and merits in the soldier's personal resume.

Suppose there are two third-level non-commissioned officers competing, one opens his resume with full of honors, while the other opens his resume with almost nothing.

There is basically no need to guess who the superiors will choose.

That's why Gao Cheng said he was afraid of letting Shi Jin down.

He was afraid that Shi Jin would continue to give up his honors and continue to be that good-natured guy who dragged him down in various ways, and that in the end, when the time came, he would have to recover and go home.

Shi Jin has just been promoted to a third-level non-commissioned officer not long ago, and there are still three years before his third term of non-commissioned officer expires, which also means he still has three years to fight.

Gao Cheng wanted to use every possible means to accumulate enough capital for Shi Jin during these three years.

Also, because Shi Jin never made any requests and worked silently for the 7th Steel Company, Gao Cheng, as the company commander, felt guilty and wanted to do something for Shi Jin more urgently.

Today, Gao Cheng finally heard that Shi Jin wanted to make a request, so he naturally wanted to satisfy it to the greatest extent possible.

of course.

Gao Cheng also has a bottom line.

The bottom line is that we must not do anything disadvantageous to the 7th Steel Company and we must not bring shame to this glorious steel division.
