Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1191 This isn't just a big stick, it's a beating with ten thousand blows!

In the conference room of the combined arms brigade, Lü Chongzhong was holding a work meeting.

Since his failure in the last assessment, he has been constantly reflecting on and reviewing his actions.

At the same time, he led all the key personnel of the brigade to identify and solve problems.

This well-implemented approach to problem-solving has indeed yielded some results in a short period of time.

Even so, Lü Chong dared not relax in the slightest, because the heavy hand from above was still hanging over his head and had not yet fallen.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, people from the army have arrived!"

The duty officer pushed open the door to report, and Lü Chong immediately stood up and announced that the meeting was over.

He then hurriedly led his men downstairs to greet them, to await the impending punishment.

Downstairs at the government building, the door of a jeep opened, and Wei Shanhe got out from the back seat wearing a hat.

Upon seeing them, Lü Chong and the others immediately saluted: "Greetings, Commander!"

Wei Shanhe walked through the crowd without saying a word, his face cold, without even returning the greeting.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts sank, and they immediately sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Everyone knows that the army commander and the brigade commander were old comrades-in-arms and very close.

These days, people are too lazy to even acknowledge each other when they meet. How serious is this problem?

"Brigade Commander, this..."

"Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed."

Lu Chong raised his hand to stop him, saying that some things were bound to happen eventually.

He straightened his collar and followed Wei Shanhe up alone.

When they arrived at the office, Lü Chong originally intended to make him a cup of tea, but Wei Shanhe interrupted him.

He sat on the sofa and said coldly, "I'm not here for tea, nor do I have the time for that. I'm sure you know why I'm here."

Lu Chong stood there, like a child who had made a mistake: "In the previous assessment, our brigade performed poorly..."

"Was that a poor performance?"

Wei Shanhe's tone suddenly rose, and his hands slammed down repeatedly on the coffee table: "Your work is a complete mess, an absolute disaster!"

There were actually quite a few people waiting in the corridor, and they all turned pale when they heard the roar coming from the office.

They were afraid of being punished later; after all, such a big thing couldn't be taken the blame by the brigade commander alone.

As commanders and managers at all levels of the brigade command, they also bear a great deal of responsibility.

Wei Shanhe pointed at Lü Chong and angrily commanded, "Lü Chong, I'm asking you, how many years have we known each other? How many years have we known each other?"

"Where did your blood and guts go when you were fighting monkeys back then?"

"Only a few decades have passed, and you've become like this, so arrogant and unrestrained?"

"The title of T Group Army's elite force is quite impressive, isn't it? Defeating a professional opposing force, that's quite skillful and awesome, isn't it?"

"Now, a single Thunder Leopard Special Operations Brigade has paralyzed your entire grassroots command post. What face do you have left to continue standing here?"

Lu Chong silently endured the scolding. He had used the same words to scold his old comrade-in-arms in the past, saying that he was not ambitious and was content with his high position.

Unexpectedly, the boomerang ended up piercing his own body, and he made the same mistake as Wei Shanhe.

And the consequences are even more serious, with a worse impact.

Wei Shanhe stood up and came to him, his face full of disappointment: "Lü Chong, you're fifty-three this year, and you'll be fifty-five in two more years! If you still can't get promoted by then, you'll have to transfer to civilian work!"

"I know......"

"You know nothing! You know nothing!"

Wei Shanhe was furious: "A pilot program in the war zone, what a great opportunity! As long as you achieve results, you'll have a very high chance of becoming a general like me!"

"Even if our theater command doesn't have this position, transferring you to another theater command or assigning you to a military sub-district as a commander would be a good option!"

"But what about you? We fought for such a great opportunity for you, and you threw it on the ground like a piece of dog poop!"

"Do you know that the assessment a week ago was not only being watched by the military, but also by the headquarters!"

Lu Chong felt guilty: "I have failed the organization's trust and the army's cultivation. Even if my superiors want to dismiss me, I will not say a word!"

He had already prepared for the worst and was ready to take the blame for everything himself.

He's already 53. In the military, 55 is a critical age; if you can't get promoted, you have to retire.

He had already given up hope of becoming a general, because with Qin Feng's appearance, only one of them could be promoted in the short term.

But Lü Chong is already this age, how could he possibly compete with a young soldier who is at the height of his career, has made outstanding military achievements, and is favored by both the headquarters and the general staff?

Moreover, even Lü Chong had to admit that Qin Feng had grown to a point where he had to admire and marvel at him.

His character, talent, combat skills, fighting awareness, and even his ability to train troops are all top-notch.

But seeing his dejected and lifeless appearance, Wei Shanhe became even angrier.

"What are you doing? Threatening me with your uniform, trying to back out?"

"No."

"If not, then keep up this pilot program and show everyone the results. You, Lü Chong, are still the same tough guy who stood firm and unyielding even amidst gunfire!"

Lu Chongtong's pupils dilated, and he looked at him in disbelief: "The higher-ups, no, aren't they going to take off my hat?"

Wei Shanhe wanted to kick him: "What will happen to the 33rd Combined Arms Brigade if you leave? Will the pilot program still be able to proceed? Once is never enough. Two failed pilot programs, and with such a large initial investment, who can bear the responsibility?"

"Moreover, changing generals in the middle of battle is a major taboo. Even if you leave, you must complete all your tasks and get the combat-oriented training on track!"

After being scolded, Lü Chong felt much more at ease. He took the initiative to ask his superiors how they would deal with him and how the combined arms brigade would be punished.

And this is precisely the purpose of Wei Shanhe's visit; what he said earlier was only to rouse Lü Chong from the perspective of a comrade-in-arms, friend, and old partner.

Next, representing the army commander, he read out the headquarters' instructions and announced the punishment for the combined arms brigade's mistakes in the assessment.

"Given the various mistakes that occurred during the assessment, your superiors have decided to issue you a verbal warning; if you make the same mistakes again in the next assessment, then you will have to be disciplined."

"In addition, the combined arms brigade's budget has been reduced by 30%, and the meal allowance has been lowered to the level of regular units. There is no such thing as an extra meal allowance."

Lu Chong's expression changed instantly: "Thirty percent, isn't that a bit too much?"

Wei Shanhe stared wide-eyed: "You're already being generous by not cutting it in half!"

"In addition, the basic allowances for junior officers and soldiers have been reduced and replaced with an assessment and attendance system."

"Any violations such as taking leave without permission, going out without permission, ordering takeout without permission, or failing to report dating will be dealt with severely once discovered."

"After that, a military police unit will be stationed in the brigade, keeping a close eye on you 24/7, from training to daily life; from front-line combat troops to logistics and cooking squads, anyone who dares to slack off will be severely punished, and those who repeatedly fail to correct their mistakes will either be transferred or stripped of their uniforms and dismissed!"

Lu Chong's face turned pale, and it felt as if a series of thunderbolts had struck his head.

I expected a heavy blow, but instead I was met with a barrage of blows...
