Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Similar incidents are not isolated cases. As soon as Wu Yiwen expressed his intention to severely punish troublemakers, others immediately followed suit.

"I have another head like this that's hard to shave. Political Commissar, Division Commander, here's the information, you two take a look."

A colonel with a crew cut on his right took out a document, stood up, and handed it to Political Commissar Lu Yunhe.

"What's going on now?"

Political Commissar Lu's expression changed after reading the document, and he handed it to Jackie Chan, who was standing next to him.

"This is a trick by Gundam."

Wu Yiwen seemed to already know this, and without even looking at the documents, he interrupted, saying, "The missile squadron wants to build a camp and do camp planning. He said he wants to build a sauna, a tennis court, and a swimming pool."

Ha! Linzhou City already has water shortages, and even drinking water is not guaranteed. Why would they build a swimming pool? It's just a ridiculous joke.

The military region's design institute can change the blueprints whenever they want; wouldn't you say they're acting with complete lawlessness?

Wu Yiwen emphasized those last few words, his voice echoing several times in the office, causing the faces of the Long Tail members to turn grave.

Jackie Chan quietly looked at the document in his hand, his expressionless face revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Wu Yiwen continued, extremely displeased, "You all take a good look. First, there's this Bourdaf, who's so arrogant that he dares to openly challenge his division commander."

Now another Gundam has emerged, treating the missile battalion as his own backyard, doing whatever he wants and disregarding military discipline.

"If they keep getting this tall, what will become of the division leadership's authority?"

The Standing Committee meeting discussed Gao Da and Baoerdafu, and Liang Hang, who has not yet been criticized, is not much better off.

They're all birds of a feather.

Right during the Standing Committee meeting, the Army Aviation Brigade, which should have been assigned helicopters to the Special Forces Brigade for training according to the training syllabus, inexplicably started playing tricks.

Today is a clear, cloudless day, perfect weather for flying helicopters.

But when Wu Zhe brought the people to the airport, Liang Hang suddenly stopped all helicopter flight plans, citing that the weather was not suitable for flying helicopters that day.

No matter how much I tried to persuade them, it was no use.

They just won't let us fly!

Wu Zhe is considered to have a relatively good temper among the older members of the A team. Even after being told to calm down several times, he couldn't suppress his anger and almost beat up Liang Hang.

Cheng Cai pulled him back from a fight, so he could only call the division headquarters to complain.

"Boss, this is Wu Zhe."

Wu Zhe and other communications officers called Cheng Long over and immediately began to complain bitterly: "We arrived at the airport early this morning according to the division's training plan, but this Captain Liang just wouldn't agree to take off, saying it would be in the afternoon."

Now it's afternoon, and he's still not cooperating with the bad weather, refusing to send helicopters. How are we supposed to complete our parachute training mission?

The elite members of the special forces are all highly skilled, but even the best still need to train.

Whether it's parachuting or shooting, you need to maintain your skills and proficiency through daily training to avoid making mistakes in combat.

Now that the helicopter isn't cooperating with takeoff, even if the veterans have three heads and six arms, there's nothing they can do.

"Is Liang Hang here?" Jackie Chan asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, right next to me."

Wu Zhe made the call using the car phone, and he had just had a heated argument with Liang Hang, so the two were indeed together.

"Let him answer the phone."

Upon receiving the instruction from Jackie Chan, Wu Zhe immediately shouted to Liang Hang, "The division commander wants you to answer the phone."

Liang Hang hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. He calmly walked over, picked up the phone, and said, "Deputy Division Commander Cheng, this is Liang Hang. Here's the situation."

The situation in the parachute drop zone is not ideal today. Even if I send a helicopter to take people there, they can't jump down, and there's nothing I can do.

"If I force it and something goes wrong, I can't take that responsibility."

"Come to the division headquarters immediately and give the phone to Wu Zhe."

Jackie Chan said coldly, "Take everyone back first. I'll handle things here." After Wu Zhe got the phone back, he said to him, "Take everyone back first. I'll handle things here."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and returned to the conference table with a cold expression.

With a hint of anger, he said, "The special forces are going to conduct routine parachute training, but Liang Hang said the weather in the landing area is unclear and he won't send helicopters to assist with the training."

This isn't the first time; I think he's deliberately playing tricks.

If I weren't the head of a division, I would have to prioritize the overall situation and never act impulsively or resort to violence to solve problems.

Given Jackie Chan's previous style of doing things, he would definitely drive out immediately and give each of the three of them a good beating.

"Heh, I think this Liang Hang isn't much better than the other two. He's a tough nut to crack, always talking about altitude and meteorology, making things all vague. He always messes up during integrated training. I think that's because of his resentment," Wu Yiwen said coldly.

"I believe we cannot address the issue at hand; we must consider the overall picture. The urgent problem I face now is to quickly establish a unified division as a whole," Political Commissar Lu said, trying to ease the tension.

"To achieve unity as a whole, I believe we must adjust our internal organizational structure, transitioning from a hierarchical structure to a grid structure. Therefore, our E5W system needs to be developed as soon as possible and rolled out across the entire division," Jackie Chan mentioned the key point.

The E5W system is a command system from division to soldier. As long as we can find a way to implement this system, at least half of the funding problem will be solved.

Because by then, the battalion commander's power will be greatly reduced, and the division headquarters will be able to mobilize all battalions without the battalion commander's cooperation.

This is something that all team leaders absolutely dread!

The current strong resistance is mainly due to the E5W system.

The secondary reason was Jackie Chan's age; he was younger than all the captains, and his rank wasn't higher, which made them resentful.

The biggest illusion in life is that I can do it too!

The others couldn't quite respond to Jackie Chan's point, so they all remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Jackie Chan glanced around and then continued speaking.

"Our team also has problems. There is insufficient communication with middle-level leaders, and we cannot reach a consensus, which has led to the relative delay in this work."

We just discussed the issue of middle-level leaders. In my opinion, our leadership team should now consider how to address these issues.

Some clues can actually be found in their rebellious behavior.

Some of these are their personalities and hobbies, and as long as they are not excessive demands, I think they can be respected appropriately. Those that are excessive should naturally be severely criticized.

As for my personal opinion as Jackie Chan, I don't care at all. A tiger won't care about a cat's provocation.

As long as it doesn't affect the normal work of the division headquarters, I personally allow them to exist. I believe time will tell, and I will let them know who the most suitable division commander is.

Why do I say that? The reason is actually very simple.

Because I'm someone who likes to challenge authority. As everyone knows, I came from the special forces, and the special forces encourage challenges. The same applies to the First Division.

I'm happy when people want to challenge me, and I hope they can maintain that spirit of challenge, provided it doesn't interfere with their work.

As Lu Xun once said, dissatisfaction is the driving force for progress. If we want our First Division to be full of vitality and always maintain an upward momentum, we do not need people who are obsequious, submissive, and lack their own opinions.

Therefore, I do not believe that promoting the Boldav training will have a negative impact on us, let alone pose a threat to us.

As the acting commander of the First Division, if I were worried that publicizing exemplary figures would threaten my position, I would have no face to sit here and speak.

I was able to become the acting division commander not because of luck, but because I have enough confidence and ability...

Jackie Chan spoke at length, but Wu Yiwen's words did not change his initial thoughts; he continued to follow his own path.

He will use his Jackie Chan-style methods to subdue this group of troublemakers.

They can train troublemakers into special forces soldiers.

Even a troublesome officer can be trained into an ace officer.

The Standing Committee meeting of the First Division was still in session. Deputy Commander Zhong, who was far away in the military region, summoned Minister Wang, who was also concerned about the current situation of the First Division.

"Any news from the First Division?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked.

"No, only Comrade Wu Yiwen calls occasionally," Minister Wang said.

"It seems that Jackie Chan won't reveal his secret until the time is right. He definitely won't report to me until he makes a name for himself," Deputy Commander Zhong said with a smile.

"The time was indeed a bit tight, and it really put him through a lot of trouble," Minister Wang sighed.

"So what are the reactions from all sides to the First Division so far?" Vice Minister Zhong changed the subject, this time inquiring about external opinions.

There are several aspects.

Minister Wang summarized and said, "The first point is that Jackie Chan is not experienced enough and has difficulty managing people, leading to internal conflicts."

The second problem is that the cadres' thinking is very unstable, and they are unsure about the future of this unit.

Thirdly, many basic living facilities are inadequate. Problems with water, electricity, and barracks have all piled up, causing numerous difficulties in office work, training, and daily life.

Fourth, the discipline of the troops is somewhat lax, and I've heard there have been clashes with local residents.

Minister Wang has a comprehensive understanding of the First Division; he has heard about almost everything that has happened in the First Division.

"It's normal to encounter problems when forming a new unit from scratch. Whether or not you can solve these problems will test your ability as a division commander."

Deputy Commander Zhong summarized the situation and then changed the subject, asking, "Oh, by the way, how are those battalion commanders doing?"

"The situation is not good."

Minister Wang shook his head and said seriously, "The reason why Jackie Chan can't keep people in line is that these captains are not very convinced by him."

Aside from Jackie Chan's honors and achievements, in terms of education, experience, and other aspects, they are all similar to him. They are all wondering how long Jackie Chan can serve as acting mayor, and whether they can take over when the time comes.

When Minister Wang mentioned Jackie Chan's honors and achievements, his expression became somewhat strange.

After all, he was a minister in a military region headquarters, and Minister Wang was a man who had seen the world, having met all sorts of elite soldiers.

But I've never seen anyone like Jackie Chan.

Not to mention the other honors and awards, if stacked up, they would probably be a meter high.

Take the First-Class Merit and Honorary Title, for example. These are the highest honors that the vast majority of officers and soldiers could never obtain even if they worked their entire lives.

Jackie Chan pulled so many that he couldn't count them all on two hands.

When Minister Wang first saw the section on honors and achievements in Jackie Chan's file, he was so shocked that he held his breath for two minutes.

Even though so much time has passed, the memory still stirs his heart.

That's absolutely outrageous!

If it weren't for seeing it in confidential documents, Minister Wang would have doubted the authenticity of these honors; even forgers wouldn't dare to exaggerate like this.

of course.

Because Jackie Chan's honors are not like those of ordinary officers and soldiers, which can be investigated at will and are not publicly disclosed, they are classified as secret.

Therefore, from Political Commissar Lu Yunhe down to the lowest-ranking soldiers, no one in the First Division knew the sheer number of Jackie Chan's incredible honors.

If Liang Hang and Baoerdafu knew that Jackie Chan received more first-class merit awards than they did, they would definitely kneel down in submission.

They no longer dare to be as arrogant as they are now, each one wanting to replace Jackie Chan as acting commander.

"Ha, do they all think they're someone important?"

Minister Wang knew how powerful Jackie Chan was, but he never expected that these captains would dare to challenge him. He couldn't help but laugh just thinking about it.

"This is probably one of the factors contributing to the instability within the First Division. After all, they are all young and impetuous, and it's not easy to get them to submit," Minister Wang said with a smile.

"In my opinion, it's not necessarily a bad thing that there are a few captains who dare to challenge Jackie Chan. I'm more worried that behind this fierce tiger, Jackie Chan, there's just a bunch of docile little lambs."

Minister Wang spoke with a pointed remark, saying eloquently, "In my mind, the First Division should be a fierce tiger that roars at all times."

"Jackie Chan is a rare tiger in our army. It's hard to find another one with his abilities. A tiger can't lead a flock of sheep," Minister Wang said confidently.

"Yes, Jackie Chan is indeed a fierce tiger. Whether he can tame the wolves below depends on his ability. If he doesn't have a sense of crisis and pressure, he can't train any cadres. We must put pressure on them from both sides."

The deputy commander's expression turned serious as he spoke, and he said very earnestly, "I think our military should also introduce a competitive recruitment mechanism similar to that used in local areas."

Minister Wang, I don't know if you realize it, but some of our cadres are very ambitious when they are out of office.

But once you put them in a certain position, they immediately become mediocre, and some even become old-fashioned.

We absolutely cannot be babysitters; we will still need them when war breaks out in the future.

If we fail to cultivate a new generation, it will be a grave dereliction of duty on our part. Therefore, we must take this seriously and absolutely not allow any old-fashioned individuals to enter the First Division.

As a forward-thinking member of the older generation, Deputy Commander Zhong certainly has unique insights into cultivating the next generation.
