Chapter 33: First establishing prestige

When I approached, I saw that there was a piece of paper pasted at the door of each class, which indicated the rows and rows of shifts, as well as the names of the squad leader, deputy squad leader and members of the class. It seemed that I just asked Lin Feng that it was unnecessary.

As soon as I pushed open the door of the squad, I was immediately frowned by the choking smell of smoke. The room was so smoky that several non-commissioned officers were sitting in the class playing cards. Each of them had a cigarette and sighed from time to time. It was probably because the cards were not very good. The conscripts were obediently lying on the bed for a "lunch break", but in this environment, I don't think anyone could fall asleep.

Liu Zhao was one of the non-commissioned officers who played cards. His back was facing me, and the other three were just looking at the row in their hands. No one noticed me coming in. Liu Zhao threw out a card heavily and laughed loudly:

"You are still alive this time? You can play for noon and this card is the most enjoyable!"

At this time, a first-class non-commissioned officer said worriedly:

"Planer Commander, I think you don't want to play anymore! Today is not a weekend. If the company commander finds out that we play cards, we will definitely be scolding again!"

Liu Zhao said loudly:

"Don't call me the platoon leader! Did you not see it today or what? I'm the acting platoon leader again! I've been piled up!"

At this time, a non-commissioned officer sitting opposite Liu Zhao raised his head and found that I was standing in the room, looking at them coldly. He quickly winked at Liu Zhao, and Liu Zhao said carelessly:

"What are you doing when you wink at the eye? Are you happy that I was removed?"

I sighed in my heart. This Liu Zhao looks good in his personal ability. He should be a talent, but why is he so stingy?

The first-class non-commissioned officer who saw me finally couldn't help but stand up and said to me:

"Plane leader!"

Liu Zhao said loudly without realizing it:

"Didn't you say don't call me the platoon leader? You don't have ears..."

At this time, he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and finally found me... His face turned red and white, and after a while, he said casually:

"Oh, Platoon Commander Lu is here! Sit! Sit!"

Then he turned around and shouted:

"Song Qinghui, don't lie there and pretend to be asleep! Get up and pour a glass of water for Lu Baike!"

A soldier got up from the bed and poured me water. I quickly said:

"Stop busy! Keep taking lunch! All of you guys who play cards are gone! Go back to their respective classes! Squad leader, come out with me."

Liu Zhao was originally the squad leader of squad 1, but he was only the platoon leader who was transferred away. He still had the position of squad leader. Private Song Qinghui looked at me and Liu Zhao in embarrassment. He didn't know whether to listen to the new platoon leader or the old platoon leader.

Liu Zhao left Song Qinghui aside, ignored him, just stared at me. Song Qinghui was not pouring water or lunch break, so he had to sit there blankly. I sighed in my heart. It seemed that I wanted to establish my prestige as soon as possible. Now a private person would be in a dilemma between me and his squad leader's orders, let alone these veterans.

I also stared at Liu Zhao and thought to myself: If you dare to sneer with me today, I will deal with you! The military top players of the field troops should not jump in front of my former shadow group members! I will not lose to you even if I compare military affairs!

Liu Zhao stared at me for a long time, and the three first-class non-commissioned officers next to him looked nervous. Seeing that they were ready to fight at any time, Liu Zhao finally spoke:

"Platform leader, I admit that it's wrong for me to find someone to play cards. It has nothing to do with them. I'm in a bad mood and forced them to play with me! What do you think? The whole platoon military conference will be inspected? Or give the punishment, you have the final say, I have absolutely nothing to say!"

This also threw the ball to me! I believe that in addition to the three first-class non-commissioned officers staring at me, the conscripts in this room must have been pricking up their ears, wanting to hear how I, the new platoon leader, dealt with.

I said without thinking:

"Team leader, I don't want to pursue the card game anymore! Now everyone is going to have a break from the morning! I asked you to go out because there is something to talk to you, and I don't want to disturb your comrades' rest!"

I felt that my tone was restrained enough, but Liu Zhao didn't appreciate it at all. He asked coldly:

"I don't know if the platoon leader is looking for me for business or private matter? If it is business, it's lunch break now, so I should have a rest. If it is a private matter, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood recently, I think I can refuse!"

The anger in my heart suddenly came up. What does it have to do with me if you Liu Zhao cannot be the acting platoon leader? I obey the organization's assignment to work. If you have the ability, you will blame the cadre department! As for the fact that you can't make it, it's even more nonsense. If you are promoted by an excellent soldier, even if you have no seat here, you can't transfer you to another company? You don't look for reasons on yourself and refuse other people's kindness. This kind of soldier is really rare!

I also said coldly:

"Comrade Liu Zhao! I will order you as a row of leaders now! Go outside immediately!"

After saying that, I walked out of the room without looking back. I stood at the door, took out a cigarette and lit it, and pinched the whistle in my pocket with my hand. If Liu Zhao didn't come out, I would blow the whistle and gather in the whole row immediately!

When I took the third sip of my cigarette, Liu Zhao appeared at the door. He looked at me coldly and said:

"I obey orders because I am a soldier! But I look down on the cadre who uses orders to suppress others the most, which means he is incapable of his ability!"

I stared into his eyes and said:

"Squad leader, I admire your courage to act, but I also want to tell you that the person I look down on the most is the petty and vengeful person. I know you don't agree with me! But if you want to destroy my prestige, please come openly! On the training ground, if I, Lu Changfeng, lose to you, I will resign immediately!"

Looking at Liu Zhao's red and white face, I continued:

"I originally thought you were a talented person and wanted to have a good chat with you, but I didn't expect that you not only have a knot in your heart, but also have a lot of differences in the standards of a soldier in a field army! I won't pursue the card game! But you can do it yourself! Since you say you are a soldier, then show off some of the soldiers!"

After saying that, I turned around and left, Liu Zhao shouted behind me:

"Platform Commander Lu!"

I turned around and looked at him, he stared into my eyes and said word by word:

"I will prove that I am a real soldier, let's see you on the training ground!"

I nodded and left.

I stood under the big tree where I was chatting with Lin Feng just now, thinking about my future work. Liu Zhao was obviously not completely convinced. I know that veterans like him are a little arrogant in training. He could only be convinced by me unless I defeat him on the training ground. Moreover, the general veterans look down on the students and cadres just assigned. They always think that we are just student officials and can't do anything, and their quality is not as good as a non-commissioned officer. So if I want to establish my prestige in the row, I must first suppress these veterans. To suppress these veterans, the best way is to be ahead in the training ground. The soldiers don't look at anything else. As long as you show your skills, they think you are better than him. Even if you take this first step, it will be considered to be recognized by everyone.

Thinking of this, I have a certain understanding of my work ideas. Now I am just facing a platoon. In the future, I will soon be the leader of the company. And I believe that with my own ability and the promised "the problem of military rank will be gradually compensated in the future". I will definitely make rapid progress. When I lead a battalion, a regiment, or even a division, there should be new ways and methods in my work.

After standing under the tree and smoking two cigarettes, I returned to Class 1 because I remember that Sun Yuanchao asked Liu Zhao to make a bed for me in Class 1.

I pushed open the door and went in. This time it was quiet inside, and the smoky scene just now disappeared. The room was cleaned up and everyone was sleeping on the bed. Liu Zhao was no exception. As for whether he was asleep, he had to ask himself.

I saw my bedding neatly placed in the lower bunk nearest the door. I walked over, moved the quilt away, and lay down with my clothes. At this moment, I slept very peacefully because I already had a clear idea and knew what to do next.

I slept until the wake-up call rang in the afternoon, and then quickly began to sort out my internal affairs. At this time, a first-class non-commissioned officer in the class came over and said:

"Platform leader, stop busy, I'll call a soldier to help you!"

I looked up at him. He was also one of the non-commissioned officers who played cards at noon. It was probably the deputy squad leader of this squad. He had a round face, a slightly fat figure, and had small eyes. He looked at him with that kind of habit and a good old man with good relationships with anyone. I looked at him gratefully and said:

"Thank you, but no need, I'll do this myself!"

I asked while lowering my head to sort out my housework:

"May I have your name?"

The first-level non-commissioned officer said: "Report to the platoon leader! My name is Zhang Shaoshang! He is the deputy squad leader of the first squad."

I raised my head with interest and asked:

"Your name is a bit strange! Does it have any origin? Let's hear it!"

Zhang Shaoshang scratched his head with a smile and said:

"Hehe, platoon leader, I was born on the Mid-Autumn Festival. When my mother gave birth to me, my grandfather was watching the moon, and later he gave me this name!"

I said, "Oh! That's the case! A good name! Okay! Go ahead and go! I'll do it myself!"

Zhang Shaoshang said: "Yes!"

Then I turned around and sorted out my housework. After sorting out my housework, I was about to sit down and take a break when the correspondent ran in and said to me:

"Platform Commander Lu, the company commander notified all cadres to attend a meeting in the company headquarters! The rest of the personnel will be organized by the squad leader to study the regulations!"

I said:

"knew!"

Then he said to Zhang Shaoshang: "Deputy squad leader, please inform us of going to squad 2 and 3. In the afternoon, the squad leader will organize the study of discipline and regulations!"

Then he said to Liu Zhao who was sleeping in the shop opposite me:

"Team leader, the afternoon study will be organized!"

Liu Zhao nodded expressionlessly, and I ignored him. I found the notebook and pen from my bag and walked towards the company.

When he walked into the company headquarters, several other cadres came. When Sun Yuanchao saw me coming in, he said:

"Xiao Lu is sitting down, I'll wait for you!"

Then he said:

"Today, we convened a meeting of all the cadres in the company. The main thing is that the competition organized by the group army is about to begin soon. We even have to select two top players to participate in the competition. The status is not limited, and all the soldiers and cadres can be. The problem is that every time we compete, our people are worse than those sent by the reconnaissance company. Although the training is more professional and more difficult, we cannot get a good ranking every year, and I can't raise my head in front of the leader! Regarding this issue, everyone express their opinions!"

The instructor and the deputy instructor are both political cadres. They sat without saying anything. Liu Yi was considered a qualified platoon leader in front of me and Lin Feng, so he cleared his throat and said:

"I think we should start from the source, that is, training. On the eve of the competition, we should appropriately increase the training intensity and link the competition results with personal development. Aren't some non-commissioned officers yet? We can promise that as long as he can be selected to participate in the competition and get a good ranking, he will be given priority to the organizational development this year!"

Sun Yuanchao didn't say much, but Wu Yanfeng frowned and said:

"It's no problem to increase the training volume, but I don't agree with writing a blank check to the soldiers. Who of us has the right to make a promise? Joining the party must follow the organizational procedures, not to give it to whoever you say you can!"

But Sun Yuanchao seemed a little moved, and he tentatively said to the instructor:

"Instructor, if we really bring honor to us in the competition, it would be a great contribution. It also means that this soldier is relatively progressive and there is nothing to give priority to joining the party!"

Wu Yanfeng said firmly: "Priority is priority. If you promise a warrior, you won't be able to do it. Isn't that writing a blank check? If it cannot be solved by the time, how can you explain to the warrior?"

Although Wu Yanfeng doesn't seem to be very popular, and the company commander seems to have the final say in many things, it seems that he will still stick to his own opinions on the issue of principle.

For a moment, everyone stopped talking. I thought about it and said:

"Let me tell me what I think! I think the source is also training, but we need scientific training. There are only two people participating in the competition. We can hold a competition within this company! Select three to four top players in advance, focus on training them, and finally decide which two people to participate in the competition of the group army. Also, although our hardware facilities are not as good as the reconnaissance company, we can work hard on the quality of training. I think as long as we have enough time, we should be able to achieve good results!"

Sun Yuanchao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu's idea is good, it's really worthy of... Well, let's try it as Xiao Lu said, and intensive training will be carried out for a week next week, and then conduct a competition to select personnel who are preparing to participate in the group army competition!"

After saying that, he asked:

"Instructor, do you have any supplements?"

Wu Yanfeng looked at me with satisfaction and said, "Xiao Lu's method is good, I have no more supplements!"

Sun Yuanchao said simply: "That's it, the meeting will be over!"
Chapter completed!
