Chapter 0011: This matter should be kept secret for now!
(One-on-one, order placement, trump card! Overwhelming with recommendation votes!)
After dismissing Zheng Yingqi and Cheng Cai, Wu Liuyi went straight to Shi Jin and told him about his brilliant idea.
"I think the position of squad leader for new recruits doesn't necessarily have to be filled by one person."
Shi Jin looked at Wu Liuyi with curiosity, wondering what the guy was thinking.
"How about using training role models to take turns serving as deputy squad leaders for new recruits?" After Wu Liuyi finished speaking, he looked straight at Shi Jin, waiting for Shi Jin's answer. He came up with this idea because he was having trouble choosing between Cheng Cai and Zheng Yingqi, but the more he thought about it, the better he felt.
Of course, this also requires Shi Jin's approval, and then it needs to be done by the company commander.
"Training model squad leaders on rotation?" Shi Jin muttered to himself as Wu Liuyi spoke, his eyes lighting up. He chuckled and patted Wu Liuyi on the shoulder, "I think it's a good idea! Liuyi, let's go talk to the company commander."
Wu Liuyi smiled with a hint of smugness.
The two men found Gao Cheng's office, where both Gao Cheng and He Hongtao were present. After shouting "Report!" they entered. Upon seeing his two trusted subordinates arrive together, Gao Cheng chuckled and said, "You two coming together? I have a feeling this isn't good news!"
"Could something have happened to Class 5?" Gao Cheng muttered to himself, staring at the two of them.
"Old Gao, can't you hope for something good?" He Hongtao said with dissatisfaction. What do you mean by "something going wrong"? Such a large recruit company absolutely cannot have anything go wrong!
With an outsider present (He Hongtao was the political instructor of the 3rd Company, so he was obviously an outsider), Wu Liuyi didn't immediately speak up. Instead, he pretended to be dutiful and said, "Reporting to the company commander, I have some immature ideas about the selection of the squad leader for the 5th Squad, which I would like to report to you."
Class 5?
After a moment's thought, He Hongtao understood what was going on—the candidates for deputy squad leaders for each squad in the recruit company had been compiled, except for the fifth squad. Hearing this, he became curious, wondering what immature idea Wu Liuyi, the daredevil of the seventh company, had that he wanted the company commander to review.
Seeing Wu Liuyi's affected manner, Gao Cheng naturally knew that this guy didn't want He Hongtao to "govern" as well. He glanced at He Hongtao and saw that Instructor He looked interested and waiting to give his opinion, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Go ahead, what immature idea is it! The instructor and I will give it our approval."
Wu Liuyi straightened up and said, "Reporting to the company commander and political instructor, this is what the platoon leader and I came up with. Because our squad has two training pacesetters, it's difficult to choose a deputy squad leader. So the platoon leader and I considered implementing a system of rotating deputy squad leaders every half month or every week."
Shi Jin glanced at Wu Liuyi in surprise. How could this be something he and Wu Liuyi had discussed together?
Wu Liu winked at Shi Jin, signaling him not to give himself away.
"Rotation?"
He Hongtao and Gao Cheng exchanged glances, both showing interest. He Hongtao had originally wanted to ask a question, but seeing Gao Cheng's expression, he held back his urge to speak. Sure enough, Gao Cheng asked with interest, "Wu Liuyi, tell me why you have such an idea."
"Yes, Company Commander!" Wu Liuyi said, "Cheng Cai and Zheng Yingqi from our squad have excellent training results and a serious attitude. Both of them are very suitable candidates for deputy squad leader. I believe that either of them has the ability to become a qualified deputy squad leader. However, there can only be one deputy squad leader. I am worried that if either of them is not selected, it will affect their mentality in the upcoming training. After all, they are new recruits and not veterans with excellent mental qualities who have been trained for a long time."
"So you came up with this compromise?" Takashiro interjected.
"Reporting to the company commander, I admit that this is a compromise solution, but I would like to request that the experiment be conducted in the fifth squad," Wu Liuyi said loudly.
"Company Commander, I also agree with Wu Liuyi's idea. I think that rotating deputy squad leaders with training role models can play a positive role in guiding competition," Shi Jin chimed in from the side.
fight!
In the military, the word "strive" is highly valued. Being number one, being excellent, being a role model, etc., are all deeply associated with this word.
The Steel Seventh Company, which Gao Cheng is so proud of, places even greater emphasis on the word "struggle"!
As the soul of the Steel Seventh Company, Gao Cheng immediately agreed with the idea proposed by Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin. Just imagine, in a recruit platoon, every recruit competes to become the deputy platoon leader and trains hard to become the deputy platoon leader. What a wonderful scene that would be.
Is a soldier who doesn't fight a good soldier?
Can an unyielding soldier be forged into a soldier of steel in the Seventh Company?
Does this question even need an answer?
However, Gao Cheng did not immediately express his opinion, but instead looked at He Hongtao: "Old He, what do you think of Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin's idea?"
He Hongtao suppressed his excitement and tried to speak softly, "I think this idea has great potential!"
There is great potential!
That's a very high rating!
Shi Jin and Wu Liu exchanged glances and naturally understood He Hongtao's praise, as well as the different meaning behind it.
"Old He, you're in this business, so tell us how much potential there is." Gao Cheng gestured for He Hongtao to explain himself clearly, as he already had some general ideas in mind.
He Hongtao cleared his throat and said, "I think we should have Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin produce a written report right now, let us review it, submit the report to our superiors, and apply to promote this idea throughout the entire recruit company. We can compare it with other recruit companies and let our superiors objectively see the effect."
I think this will definitely be effective, and it might even become popular!
He Hongtao was very optimistic about this idea. The training methods for recruits have been passed down from generation to generation and have been continuously improved, but who can say for sure that they are perfect? Any way that can improve the enthusiasm of recruits for training is worth trying. If it works, the superiors will definitely promote it.
As for promotion, how could the superiors turn a blind eye to this honor, given that they are the implementing unit, proposer, and executor?
Gao Cheng nodded, feeling that He Hongtao's words made a lot of sense and were more farsighted than his own idea of promoting it throughout the entire company!
Shi Jin was surprised, not expecting that the instructor would be so optimistic about Wu Liuyi's proposal. Especially after hearing the instructor say that it should be promoted, he couldn't stay calm.
"Report!" Shi Jin shouted.
"What's wrong?" Takashiro gestured, "Speak."
"Company Commander, Political Instructor, this idea came from Wu Liuyi, and has nothing to do with me," Shi Jin said frankly. He knew that if this idea were promoted, he, as the proposer, would definitely be awarded merit, perhaps even a second-class merit.
If he had a second-class merit award, promotion would be much easier, and he could achieve his dream of staying in the military. However,
He is Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi's squad leader!
How could he possibly share the credit with his subordinates?
Hearing Shi Jin's attempt to distance himself, Gao Cheng wanted to point his finger at Shi Jin and curse him, but then he thought again, if Shi Jin wasn't this kind of person, why would he value him so much?
"Company Commander..." Wu Liuyi was anxious. He could tell from He Hongtao's words that this proposal was very likely to lead to a future. That's why he was even more unwilling to let Shi Jin get away with it. How many opportunities would Shi Jin have left in his last year of military service? If he didn't get any opportunities, he would have to pack his bags and leave the military camp he loved next year!
"Enough!" Gao Cheng shouted, "What's all the yelling about? You two get out here and get the plan done. Bring it here so the instructor and I can review it. It's just a matter of authorship, isn't it? Wu Liuyi is first, Shi Jin is second. It's a trivial matter, what's there to argue about!"
Gao Cheng was undoubtedly acting out of self-interest, but having the two inseparable people complete the materials together, there was naturally no problem with signing the documents. Moreover, this matter was being carried out within the 2nd Platoon, and Shi Jin, as the platoon leader, was naturally qualified to do so!
He Hongtao understood Gao Cheng's meaning, but Gao Cheng's actions were well-considered and not against the rules, especially since it was a case of mutual consent.
Shi Jin was still somewhat unwilling, after all, he hadn't contributed anything to this proposal!
What a stubborn ox!
He Hongtao muttered to himself, but urged:
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the materials, send them over tonight, and the company commander and I will review them and try to submit them to the higher-ups tomorrow. Yes, you should suspend the announcement of the new recruit squad leader candidates for now. Keep this a secret for now."
