Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 575 The Leader's Attitude

Having gained the upper hand and the right to speak, Wu Yiwen began a lengthy and eloquent critique.

He criticized every little thing.

Then, emphasizing the sixth point, he said: "To be honest, I really don't want to talk about the matter of Comrade Jackie Chan beating Comrade Gui Pingyuan."

This is such a basic mistake. We often tell our subordinates that we are not allowed to beat, scold or physically punish soldiers, but look at what we have done ourselves.

As the head of a division, I don't know what Comrade Jackie Chan thinks about this.

From what I understand, Comrade Jackie Chan has gone from soldier to officer, and now to division commander. Even though this is his first time in command, he has always been very caring towards his subordinates.

So I'd like to ask Jackie Chan, do you have any prejudice against Comrade Gui Pingyuan? Or have you been influenced by certain people?

Wu Yiwen became increasingly arrogant and presumptuous as he spoke, and his words carried a stronger and stronger undertone of hostility.

They've almost all stopped acting; they're about to lay their cards on the table.

Jackie Chan was already quite annoyed, but it wasn't convenient for him to speak up at the moment, so he could only let Wu Yiwen cause trouble and deal with him later.

Long Xiaoyun couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to speak for Jackie Chan, saying, "Comrade Wu Yiwen, you said that Comrade Jackie Chan has a prejudice against Comrade Gui Pingyuan. Can I now assume that you have a prejudice against Comrade Jackie Chan?"

"Comrade Long Xiaoyun, do you think criticism within the Party is a prejudice?" Wu Yiwen retorted.

"Is this what you call criticism? Criticism within the Party should stem from a desire for unity, not from one-sided attacks. It was wrong of Comrade Jackie Chan to hit someone, but let's think about why he did it?" Long Xiaoyun said.

"Then why did he do that? Tell me?" Wu Yiwen continued to stir up trouble.

Wu Yiwen cherishes this only chance to defeat Jackie Chan and is going all out.

"I have no obligation to explain to you. Different people have different opinions. I've said my piece, and everyone knows what I mean," Long Xiaoyun said coldly.

"I'm reminding you, this is a party meeting, don't let your emotions get the better of you," Wu Yiwen warned.

"I'm letting the facts speak for themselves," Long Xiaoyun insisted.

"Then tell me, what kind of person is Gui Pingyuan? Is it right for Jackie Chan to beat him up?" Wu Yiwen knew perfectly well, but chose to pretend not to hear.

"I don't want to say who he is, everyone knows, he's at least someone who deserves a beating," Long Xiaoyun said angrily.

"Long Xiaoyun, don't go too far," Wu Yiwen warned again.

"Political Commissar, I'd like to ask a question: is this a one-man show or a party meeting?" Long Xiaoyun cleverly changed the subject.

"you……"

Wu Yiwen was furious and was about to retort again.

"Alright, that's enough."

Political Commissar Lu interrupted their discussion. He also felt that Wu Yiwen was being too confrontational and said, "Don't always let Comrade Wu Yiwen speak alone. Everyone should be relaxed and say what they think."

Commissar Lu's words were very shrewd; he neither offended Wu Yiwen nor prevented Wu from continuing to speak.

Let me say a few words.

Gao Da, an admirer of Long Xiaoyun, saw that Long Xiaoyun had been criticized for a long time, and decided to stand up and say: "The purpose of our party is to seek truth from facts. If the criticism of Comrade Jackie Chan is turned into an attack on Comrade Jackie Chan, to bring him down to satisfy my current needs, I think that would be contrary to the purpose of today's meeting."

Gundam's stance in these words is quite clear and has been recognized by the vast majority of people.

After all, everyone knows Wu Yiwen's desires. Through Wu Yiwen's continuous attacks on Jackie Chan, anyone who isn't a fool can see what he means.

In addition, Jackie Chan has performed exceptionally well in all aspects since becoming a division commander.

The main problem is that Gui Pingyuan is a terrible person. He talks nonsense everywhere and spreads everyone's gossip. He's notorious throughout the city.

You don't need to guess who you're inclined to side with.

Wu Yiwen was so angry that Gao Da made veiled insults at him that his face turned black. He wanted to start another verbal battle, but he held back in the end.

Because he saw everyone's expressions, he knew he had been too hasty and had revealed his ambition.

"Comrades, let me say a few words."

Political Commissar Lu also saw through Wu Yiwen's ambition. He also didn't want Jackie Chan to really be brought down, so he said, "Comrade Jackie Chan made a mistake. Like everyone else, I feel very bad about it."

However, we cannot act on emotion. We should point out the problems that Jackie Chan has in a realistic manner, neither downplaying the seriousness of the issues nor exaggerating them.

Whatever the problem is, that's the problem; whatever the responsibility is, that's the responsibility.

I think Jackie Chan has already recognized his problems, but of course, this is still preliminary and further improvements are needed.

Therefore, I would like to share my opinions on Jackie Chan's unauthorized special admissions, his assault, and his so-called lifestyle issues.

... "

As the political commissar, Lu Yunhe was very satisfied with Jackie Chan, and he also knew that some people were secretly plotting to bring Jackie Chan down, so he was willing to help Jackie Chan.

Including the members of the First Division Standing Committee, the vast majority of them favor Jackie Chan.

How to handle it?

The result is already quite obvious.

Therefore, Lu Yunhe, on behalf of the Party Committee, ultimately gave Cheng Long a Party warning, so that he would take it as a lesson and correct his mistakes in his subsequent work.

I thought that after all this, the matter was basically over.

But what Lu Yunhe didn't know...

Under the covert manipulation of Guipingyuan, all sorts of unsubstantiated, anonymous, and signed accusations have been sent to the military region like scraps of paper.

The saying "three men can make a tiger" is not just a saying.

He's really useful!

Under such a barrage of accusations, all sorts of calls reached Deputy Commander Zhong, causing him to change his judgment.

Initially, they thought Jackie Chan was the culprit, so they summoned Lu Yunhe to the guesthouse that very night.

When Lu Yunhe heard that it was Deputy Commander Zhong who had summoned him overnight, he keenly sensed that the matter was not over yet and the consequences were much more serious than he had imagined.

After a brief moment of thought, he decided to try one last time to help Jackie Chan.

I made some preparations before coming to see Deputy Commander Zhong.

"Lu Yunhe, do you know why I called you here so late?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked with a stern face.

"The First Division has been plagued by problems, and as the political commissar, I bear the greatest responsibility. That's why I'm here to accept the leader's criticism," Lu Yunhe said sincerely.

"Accept criticism, huh."

Deputy Commander Zhong sneered and questioned, "Then what were you doing all this time?"

Lu Yunhe didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent.

"What exactly happened to this tornado? Hmm? When he was the battalion chief of staff, everything was fine, and everyone said he was doing well. How come so many things have happened since he became a division commander?" Deputy Commander Zhong questioned.

"Commander, actually, it's not that complicated," Political Commissar Lu said, taking off his headgear.

"Hmph, you think there's not enough trouble? Hmm?" Deputy Commander Zhong said sternly.

"Political Commissar Lu."

Minister Wang interjected, "You may not know this, but the number of letters accusing Jackie Chan that Deputy Commander Zhong and other military leaders have received could probably fill a drawer."

"Minister Wang, I don't think these things prove anything. Most of them are just rumors, and some I even think are completely fabricated," Political Commissar Lu argued.

"You're just protecting your own."

Deputy Commander Zhong slammed his fist on the table as he stood up: "You're protecting Jackie Chan! You're the squad leader; if you're only protecting your own, how can this squad be effective?"

"Today we held a Party Committee criticism meeting and severely criticized Comrade Cheng Long's mistakes," Political Commissar Lu said solemnly.

"So what does your Party Committee plan to do with him?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked.

"The main purpose is to help educate him, prompt him to reflect on himself, identify his shortcomings, and learn from them in his future work and life," Political Commissar Lu said.

"Is it really that easy?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked, dissatisfied.

"Sir, actually, some of the responsibility for the problems cannot be entirely blamed on Jackie Chan. For example, I approved the special recruitment, and he wore the military uniform before the procedures were completed, which was also with my consent. I should bear the main responsibility, and I request that my superiors punish him."

As he spoke, Political Commissar Lu took out several sheets of paper from his pocket, unfolded them, and said, "This is my self-criticism and a report requesting disciplinary action."

"Based on the initial findings of the investigation team, there are significant discrepancies between what you said and what we've learned so far," Minister Wang said.

"Lu Yunhe, you want to take the blame for others, but unfortunately, there are some mistakes you can't afford to take the blame for."

Having learned of Lu Nuhe's attitude, Deputy Commander Zhong saw no need to continue the conversation and waved his hand, saying, "That's all, you can go now."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Yunhe wanted to say something more, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to say it. He could only take his written self-criticism and report, salute, and leave.

……

the next day.

The military region's investigation team is investigating Jackie Chan, and the news has spread like wildfire throughout the division headquarters, with all sorts of opinions, both good and bad, emerging.

Jackie Chan has a strong will and a powerful mentality, and he doesn't care about these rumors at all.

Go to work as usual.

Jackie Chan didn't want to cause trouble for others, but some clueless people just had to run into him and create trouble for him.

Jackie Chan was busy searching for Jing Xiaoshu, and after searching all morning without finding her, he was very annoyed.

It wasn't long before they encountered Guipingyuan.

Gui Pingyuan, whose face was still bearing the scars from being slapped hard by Jackie Chan, met Jackie Chan as they entered and exited the division headquarters hall.

Not only did they not make way for Jackie Chan, they even walked towards him.

Jackie Chan is, after all, the commander of the First Division, which is several ranks higher than Gui Pingyuan, a mere section chief. It's impossible for them to give him such a useless and worthless position.

So the two walked towards each other, stopping when they were about a meter apart.

Gui Pingyuan, being a subordinate, surprisingly did not salute.

He even looked at Jackie Chan provocatively.

"Have I driven you crazy?"

He couldn't understand Gui Pingyuan's behavior and frowned, coldly rebuking him.

"Commander Cheng, your arrogance won't last long. The investigation team has arrived. Once they complete their report, you probably won't even be able to remain a deputy division commander."

Gui Pingyuan went to see his uncle, believing that the investigation team would definitely help him.

That's why he's so arrogant now!

What happens to me is none of your business, but if you continue to stand in my way, it will have a lot to do with you.

Jackie Chan didn't want to talk to this scumbag anymore and stared at him coldly as a warning.

"What? The investigation team is here. You think you can do whatever you want and even hit people? I, Guiping, am not afraid of anyone. If you have the guts, slap me again."

Gui Pingyuan was incredibly despicable; he even deliberately extended his face, which had no handprint, to the other side.

He thought Jackie Chan wouldn't dare to fight.

But he didn't know who Jackie Chan was.

"Since you're so shameless, I'll grant your wish."

Jackie Chan didn't hesitate for a second. He raised his hand and slapped her harder than last time, and the sound was even crisper.

"Snap!"

Slap down.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard more than ten meters away, startling everyone nearby.

Gui Pingyuan was knocked to the ground, two of his teeth were knocked out, and he fell unconscious.

"waste."

Jackie Chan didn't bother to check on Gui Pingyuan; he simply stepped over him and left.

Only Gui Pingyuan remained, knocked unconscious on the ground, blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth. Only after Jackie Chan had walked far away did anyone dare to come and check on him.

……

Military region guesthouse.

"Sir, the investigation team's report is ready." Minister Wang walked into the office with the document in his hand.

"Tell me their proposed solution," Deputy Commander Zhong said, sitting behind his desk.

"Yes."

Minister Wang opened the document and said, "The investigation team's opinion is similar to that of their division's Party committee; both have decided to educate the students strictly but deal with them leniently."

It is recommended that Jackie Chan receive a party warning, and no further action be taken.

"What's your opinion?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked.

"His problems are mainly administrative. As for the so-called lifestyle issues, such as using public office for personal gain, there is no evidence to support these claims. I suggest that he not be given a party disciplinary action, but rather an administrative warning," Minister Wang said.

"There's no concrete evidence, but there's a reason for it."

Deputy Commander Zhong got up and walked out of his desk. He sighed deeply and said with mixed emotions, "Wang Qiang, it seems like we've stirred up a hornet's nest."

I remember you reminded me when we were setting up this team.

"You said that casting Jackie Chan, this dark horse, was a risky move, with huge potential gains but also great risks. Now it seems you were right."

Deputy Commander Zhong was influenced by rumors circulating among three people and began to waver in his initial decision.

"Sir, you can't say that."

Minister Wang remained steadfast, stating from a fair perspective: "During the time I've been with you, we've traveled to various brigades and teams."

The facts prove that your decision was correct and rewarding.

Although Jackie Chan is not yet fully mature and has encountered various minor problems, his work achievements and efficiency are undeniable.

In less than two months, the First Division has already basically formed a cohesive fighting force.

In particular, Jackie Chan's leadership skills were fully demonstrated in the development of the E5W system and were recognized by his subordinates.

As for his problems, whether it was the special recruitment, the crude and ruthless methods, or the controversy caused by his excessive contact with Long Xiaoyun at work, they were all related to his desire to improve and develop the First Division.

Therefore, sir, I think we should view Jackie Chan from this perspective.
