Chapter 431: The Aggrieved Second Battalion Commander

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The meeting room was quite lovely today at the regiment headquarters.

Because today, was the day they were selecting new recruits. freeweb novel. com

Currently, the Chief of Staff, the Training Officer, and three battalion commanders were sitting around the conference table.

However, when they heard that the Chief of Staff wanted three soldiers, all three battalion commanders had significant objections.

In the new recruits company, the three best soldiers from each platoon had already been assigned to other units.

Although everyone was mentally prepared for this beforehand, when it came to the moment, they were still unwilling and wanted to resist.

Looking at the three of them, the Chief of Staff calmly said, “If you don’t agree, that’s fine. You can keep the soldiers you want, but you must give me the ten soldiers you selected. Although I don’t need so many, I can distribute them to the third company!”

Saying this, the Chief of Staff looked at the third company and said, “I’ll give you a group of good soldiers in addition to what you have. You don’t have any problems leaving your soldiers with me, right?”

“Hehe, alright!” The third battalion commander, who had a gloomy expression just moments ago, suddenly smiled. It seemed there was some good news for him.

Of course, he could smile, but the other two battalion commanders couldn’t find anything to smile about.

“Good for you!” Lin Hai stared directly at the third battalion commander.

What a load of nonsense. Li Jun is not Wang Ye, and it’s not worth it for him to pay such a high price.

Although it might sound a bit harsh, this world is a place where reality prevails everywhere.

“Hehe, look, you guys aren’t willing!” the Chief of Staff laughed.

The first battalion commander and Lin Hai were speechless.

Of course, they weren’t willing. They just wanted to use another slightly less outstanding recruit to secure their top-notch soldiers.

But now, the Chief of Staff clearly wasn’t giving them any room to maneuver.

“Alright, if you’re not willing, then follow my instructions. Modify your lists.

After you’re done, hand them over.

We’ll divide this batch first, and then the remaining soldiers will be randomly assigned by the Training Department.

You don’t have any objections to this, right?”

The three remained silent.

Soon, after modifying their lists and submitting them, the three of them were ready to leave.

However, at this moment, as the second battalion commander was getting up, the Chief of Staff spoke up, “Lin Hai, go see the regiment commander!”

The second battalion commander turned back and then muttered, “Yes!”

Without asking why, the Chief of Staff didn’t bother to inquire, and it was just easier to go find the regiment commander.

“Second Battalion commander, you know, you guys could actually agree. Worst case, I’ll give some of your soldiers back to you later!” As they left, the third battalion commander leaned in and spoke to Lin Hai and the first battalion commander with a cheerful tone.

Lin Hai gave him a skeptical look.

“You’re drooling nonsense!” Would he actually return them?

“Can’t you have a little more trust in me?” the third battalion commander replied.

At this point, the first battalion commander spoke up, “Why don’t you go in and tell the Chief of Staff that you want the soldiers he’s taking from our company, and the other ten you choose can come to us, and we’ll give them back to you later!”

“Haha, the weather is really nice today!” The third battalion commander laughed and turned to leave.

“Ha! I’m so disappointed in you!” Lin Hai scoffed, then followed suit.

Lin Hai didn’t know what the Chief of Staff wanted when he was asked to see the regiment commander.

Soon, after coming downstairs from the meeting, he arrived at the entrance to the regiment commander’s office.

“Report!”

“Come in!”

Inside, the regiment commander was in conversation with a political commissar. When they saw him and he reported in, they paused their conversation and looked at him.

Lin Hai entered the room.

“Regiment commander, did you summon me?”

“Yes!” The regiment commander put down his pen and tossed a cigarette from the table to Lin Hai.

Once Lin Hai skillfully lit the cigarette, the regiment commander spoke, “I want to transfer Wang Ye to the Criminal Investigation Company as the acting platoon leader of the second platoon!”

At that moment, Lin Hai instinctively threw the newly lit cigarette to the side and stomped on it.

This cigarette was poisonous!

“No, Regiment commander, why… why? It’s a robbery!”

Spitting out the cigarette, Lin Hai exclaimed with a distressed expression.

Just when Li Jun was taken by the Chief of Staff, he had to come down here.

Now, they were about to lose Wang Ye.

This was too tragic.

“What robbery! Don’t say it like that. Wang Ye is with you now, do you have a position for him?”

The battalion commander hastily replied, “Yes! I was planning to continue having him as the acting platoon leader!”

The regiment commander gave him an impatient look. “Nonsense! Do you think I don’t know if there’s a position in your company?”

Although the second battalion commander couldn’t afford to be fake at this moment, he was also genuinely concerned about Wang Ye.

Wang Ye was his capable right-hand man, who had been in the training detachment before and had spent two months in the Division Reconnaissance Company learning various skills.

Now he had learned quite a bit.

He had also been thinking about bringing Wang Ye back to boost the combat effectiveness of his company secretly, stealing a few reconnaissance soldiers from the Reconnaissance Company.

“There’s a place for him. Fourth Company’s Third Platoon Leader, Fifth Company’s First Platoon Leader, and Sixth Company’s Third Platoon Leader are all more suitable for the political work route. The position previously held by Kang Hua in Fourth Company is still vacant.” Lin Hai counted again.

“Get lost!” The regiment commander said with the same tone. “Wang Ye going to the military academy is already decided. He can’t keep serving as a platoon leader for you forever. The situation in the reconnaissance platoon is special right now. The acting second platoon leader admitted his fault and is undergoing training at the farm. I plan to have Wang Ye take over for this period. When Wang Ye has to go to the military academy, the acting second platoon leader will return to take over again!”

“Regiment commander, that’s too harsh!” The second battalion commander looked like he was about to cry.

Li Jun being taken away was one thing, but now that Wang Ye was also being taken, it was unbearable.

Considering the tremendous contributions Wang Ye had made to the Fourth Company and the Second Battalion in the past year, he had earned a lot of honors even when he was just lying around.

Although Wang Ye would have to leave in just a few months, a few months was still a significant amount of time. Who said Wang Ye couldn’t earn more honors during these months? Being taken away like this now, he wouldn’t be able to eat for a whole week.

“Alright, stop crying. Be content. Wang Ye has been in the Second Company for a year, and based on his performance, he shouldn’t have been assigned to your company when he was originally transferred,” the political commissar added his input.

The second battalion commander responded, “Political commissar, Wang Ye wasn’t just assigned to us. We brought him back from his hometown!”

At this point, the regiment commander spoke again, “Enough said. I’m just informing you; it’s not up for discussion. For Wang Ye’s own development, leading the reconnaissance platoon is the best choice!”

The second battalion commander looked quite distressed, gazing at the regiment commander.

“Then give me Li Jun. Otherwise, it’s too unfair. Wang Ye, too, Regiment commander! You’re giving Wang Ye to the reconnaissance platoon!”

The second battalion commander appeared to be aggrieved as he made his request.

Indeed, upon further consideration, the second battalion commander realized that having Wang Ye lead the reconnaissance platoon was undoubtedly a better option than staying in his company as an acting platoon leader.

However, he couldn’t just let it go like that. Even if he couldn’t keep Wang Ye, he had to ensure that Li Jun stayed.

He couldn’t let the Chief of Staff take advantage of him entirely.

So, he pretended to be aggrieved. If he couldn’t genuinely cry, he was ready to shed a few tears just to show the regiment commander how he felt.

“Alright, alright, stop making that ghostly face. Go talk to the Chief of Staff, tell him what I said, and ask for a replacement soldier!” the regiment commander waved his hand.

“Okay!”

Although the second battalion commander still wore a pained expression, his demeanor had eased somewhat..
