I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Wu Hanfeng gently closed the cover of the disciplinary record book.

"Captain Lin, Political Commissar Shen, there's something I need to tell you both, lest you think I, Wu, didn't give you a heads-up beforehand."

Lin Jianfeng's heart skipped a beat, and his nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again instantly.

What kind of trouble is this kid up to now?

"Comrade Wu, please speak. We're listening."

"That's how it is." Wu Hanfeng sighed. "Of the things we found out today, everything else is negligible—untidy living quarters, hoarding snacks, and a toothbrush holder that was misplaced."

"These are minor issues. I'll talk to the team when I get back, and they can cross them off in the logbook. Consider it a private discussion and rectification, and it won't be recorded in the official records. Just submit your inspection reports on time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianfeng and Shen Yan's eyes lit up slightly at the same time.

While seemingly trivial matters like hoarding snacks or being untidy in one's living quarters may appear minor, it would be quite embarrassing to include them all in a report.

It would be best to cross it out if possible.

But they also knew that a "but" would definitely follow.

Sure enough, Wu Hanfeng paused, his expression turning serious: "But there are two things I really can't suppress."

"One is using a mobile phone overseas, which crosses the red line of confidentiality; the other is hoarding beer, which violates the alcohol ban. These are both high-voltage lines that have been repeatedly emphasized throughout the military, and official documents have been issued countless times about them."

"I'm just a junior sergeant, and my authority is limited. I really don't have the guts to cover it up. If I did, and the garrison district's inspection team found out, it would be a small matter if my uniform were to be stripped off, but if my captain got punished, that would be a much bigger offense."

Lin Jianfeng sighed inwardly.

Also.

Such a matter of principle is one that no one would dare to suppress or withhold from reporting.

If it really comes out, let alone a sergeant, even the staff officer of the garrison wouldn't dare to suppress it casually.

"I understand, Comrade Wu, just follow the rules." Lin Jianfeng waved his hand and said helplessly, "It's our own management that's inadequate. We'll issue a notice if necessary and impose disciplinary action if appropriate. We accept it."

That's what I said, but my heart was bleeding.

This should be announced throughout the entire military region!

Then their Fierce Tiger Detachment won't just lose its advanced status this year; it will be listed as a negative example throughout the entire military region's armed police system.

From now on, I'll have to sit in the back row and get criticized in meetings; I'll lose all face.

Shen Yan also frowned, clearly having considered the consequences.

Zheng Tao stood at the back of the line, his heart sinking even more.

Is this a notification for the entire military region?

Then he, the one who started this, will be skinned alive by the branch captain.

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, Wu Hanfeng suddenly smiled again: "Captain Lin, don't worry too much. Rules are rules, but people are flexible."

"It definitely needs to be reported; the procedures have to be followed. But there are some rules about how to report it and what the report should look like."

Lin Jianfeng's eyes lit up instantly. "What does Comrade Wu mean?"

"Think about it," Wu Hanfeng said, "These two things are twofold. One is that the soldier was young and naive. He was reluctant to hand over the cell phone his girlfriend gave him. He kept it hidden and only looked at photos. He had never even connected to the camp's network, so there was no classified information at all."

"The other one was a veteran who was retiring. He had deep camaraderie with his comrades and wanted to have a farewell drink. The wine was not opened and he did not drink any of it, so it did not cause any real consequences."

"Moreover, after your detachment discovered the problem, you were very good at admitting your mistakes and actively made rectifications. You immediately stated that the entire detachment would be educated and rectified, and you even took the initiative to take on the task of vehicle repair."

"I can include all of these in the report."

"When I get back to the garrison, I'll talk to our captain and say that this was just a minor issue discovered during a surprise inspection, and that the unit quickly admitted its mistake and rectified it without causing any adverse effects."

"We should try to issue a notice within our city's military and police system, focusing on criticism and education, and avoid sending it to the general military region's reports."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jianfeng and Shen Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Internal notification?

Why not send it to the entire military region?

The difference is huge!

The entire military region issued a notice, which was a disgrace to the entire system, affecting year-end performance evaluations and leadership assessments.

If it's just an internal notice issued by the city government, it's just an internal reprimand. It might look bad on the surface, but the actual impact is much smaller.

The advanced detachment is definitely doomed, but it won't be a major blow.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

"Oh, Comrade Wu!" Lin Jianfeng grabbed Wu Hanfeng's hand and shook it vigorously, his earlier frustration largely dissipating. "Thank you so much! You've really helped us a lot!"

"Yes, Comrade Wu, thank you so much." Shen Yan nodded in agreement, his smile becoming much more genuine. "After the rectification is completed, we will send someone to the garrison to report our work. We will need to trouble Comrade Wu to put in a good word for us then."

The two were genuinely grateful.

I originally thought it would be at least a notification to the entire military region, and that the detachment's performance for the whole year would be discounted.

It's fortunate that the situation is currently contained within the city limits.

Little did they know that Wu Hanfeng had never intended to expose this to the entire military region.

If he really goes to the garrison commander, the commander will praise him, but it will also mean that he has completely offended the Tiger Detachment.

Friendly units see each other all the time, there's no need to push things too far.

A good scolding followed by a sweet treat serves as both a warning and a way to gain favor in the long run.

"You two commanders are too kind," Wu Hanfeng said with a slight smile. "We are all brother units, so mutual understanding is only natural."

"Besides, if something serious happens, it won't be good for the image of our military and police stationed in the city."

"I'm just running errands and saying nice things; whether it works out or not depends on our team leader's decision."

"Whether it works out or not, we'll appreciate your kindness!" Lin Jianfeng said. "Don't worry about the car. I'll have someone drive it to your regiment's auto repair shop first thing tomorrow morning. They'll replace all the parts with genuine ones and repair it to look brand new!"

"We'll cover all the repair costs, and we'll even deliver two extra truckloads of training supplies as a small token of our appreciation!"

Wu Hanfeng's eyes lit up, but he still politely declined, saying, "I'm so sorry..."

"What's there to be embarrassed about! It's the right thing to do!"

The two were very polite to each other, and the atmosphere instantly became as harmonious as that of old friends, with no trace of the tension from before.

The special operations squadron members stood in a row, looking at each other, their expressions more interesting than the last.

suffocated.

It's so frustrating.

They came to our door in uniform, stripped us bare, even dug up the beer bottles buried in the corner, and filled a notebook with questions.

Finally, they said, "I'll try my best to plead for you, and please don't let the news spread throughout the military region."

We should be grateful, even rushing to repair their damaged cars and sending them supplies.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Zheng Tao stood at the very front, his face so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.

He finally understood.

From the moment Wu Hanfeng stepped into the camp, every step he took was a trap.

First, they praise you as a role model, then they expose all your problems and slap you in the face, and finally they admit to pleading for you, making you not only not hate them, but also remember their good deeds.

They're more cunning than honeycomb briquettes!

But he couldn't say anything.

After all, they were in the right, and in the end they did show leniency.

Zheng Tao gritted his teeth, cursing Wu Hanfeng a hundred times in his heart, but dared not show it on his face.

There's no way around it; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Who told me to be so foul-mouthed? Who told me to break the rules?
