Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 960: In the end, it was still...a wrong payment?

"The ceremony is over!"

The flag reached its zenith and the singing ended.

Everyone put down their hands and turned their eyes from the fluttering flags to the viewing platform in the front.

But Qin Feng did not speak, he just stood on the stage and glanced at their faces.

In the huge training ground, you could hear a pin drop; there was not a single sound.

And what followed was more anxiety,

Silence is powerful.

The famous Na Shui once said, either explode in silence or die in silence.

For the soldiers of the reinforced regiment, they are now like people waiting to be sentenced.

After two full minutes, when everyone present was feeling depressed to the extreme, Qin Feng finally spoke, and he made a powerful statement.

"terribly sorry……"

As soon as these three words appeared, everyone's pupils brightened and their fists clenched unconsciously.

Feelings of discomfort, sadness, and unwillingness all appeared on his face in an instant.

After all, was it a wrong payment?

"I'm sorry, the microphone had a bad connection just now, but it's fine now."

"..."

Qin Feng's heavy breathing gave everyone a sudden turn of events.

No, Chief, you are going too far!

Qin Feng patted the microphone and tried again. The contact returned to normal: "First of all, I want to announce a good news."

Everyone's expression brightened up, and a strong sense of hope appeared on their faces.

Qin Feng: "Originally, according to the regulations, after losing the exercise, the superiors were planning to disband our team and then break it up again."

"But thanks to the unremitting efforts of Comrade Qiu Guohai, the regiment commander, and I, we practically blew up the leadership office phone and trampled the military headquarters' doorstep. Only then did the higher-ups reluctantly agree to temporarily revoke the decision and continue to retain our 112th Reinforced Regiment."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy, and some even cried for joy.

If they weren't still in the queue and had to pay attention to discipline, they would have hugged each other by now.

Qiu Guohai watched this and felt very happy. He got half of the credit without doing anything. How cool was that?

Qin Feng said solemnly: "Of course, in addition to the unremitting efforts of the captain and I, your persistence, the determination and fighting spirit you showed on the training ground also have a lot to do with it."

"Although we traveled thousands of miles to the northwest to support the Red Army, and our final performance was less than satisfactory, the leaders have all seen your efforts and progress."

"Because of this, the higher-ups carefully considered it and ultimately canceled this decision temporarily!"

"Listen carefully, it's only temporary..."

As everyone's emotions were aroused, Qin Feng changed the subject, which made everyone's hearts rise again.

"And then, here comes the bad news."

"Superior, decided to extend the probation period to six months."

"There will be another test against us in half a year. That will be the ultimate test for the reinforcement group!"

Qiu Guohai listened and nodded.

You really are the one who can lead troops. You make things sound like they are real even though they don't exist.

Half a year later, there will be the ultimate test, a year later there will be the super ultimate test, and a year and a half later there will be the cross-century invincible ultimate test. In short, there will always be tests.

But he knew very well that Qin Feng's way of leading the troops by setting goals in intervals and constantly allowing the soldiers to run forward stage by stage was much more reliable than just shouting slogans and setting some empty and false goals.

Qin Feng asked loudly: "In half a year, the higher-ups will seriously and comprehensively test your strength. Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Do you have?"

"Have!!"

"I can't hear you, can you speak louder?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The soldiers' determination was deafening.

As long as they can continue to stay together, as long as their comrades are still around them, they are not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire.

Of course, another reason is that they competed with first-tier opponents right from the start.

Although we lost, everyone had a clear goal to pursue and knew that the enemy was not so powerful that it could not be defeated.

If we give them another half year, they will definitely perform better next time we meet.

Qin Feng looked at the determination and strong fighting spirit on everyone's faces, and he felt quite satisfied.

He admired himself for being able to build such strong cohesion in a makeshift team in such a short period of time.

Because the difficulty of leading a company is completely different from that of leading a regiment or a reinforced regiment.

The more people there are, the greater the gap between individuals, the more friction there is, and the more problems there are.

These are all problems that commanders need to solve and are troublesome for, but Qiu Guohai is not good at solving these problems, so they all fall on Qin Feng's head.

As for whether this guy feels that the military commander's power has been divided out... absolutely not!

Because no matter how big a risk Qin Feng takes, Qiu Guohai can split it in half, thus achieving a complete win!

Although Qin Feng's trick of creating something out of nothing and hoping for a plum to quench thirst is somewhat deceptive and not glorious, it is at least effective in improving combat effectiveness.

In addition, to a certain extent, Qin Feng did not lie.

The army will never waste time on a unit that has no combat effectiveness. Keeping such a team is not only a waste of military expenditure and taxpayers' money, but also a serious irresponsibility to national security. Disbanding it is only a matter of time.

"Now, let me tell you something worth celebrating!"

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, everyone's mood became beautiful.

The atmosphere on the scene was no longer as dull as before, but instead became more cheerful.

"First, because of our excellent performance in the exercise, our superiors won't hold us accountable for neglecting and intentionally damaging the tanks."

"yeah!"

"Also, they will proactively provide us with some weapons and equipment, although they are not the latest models..."

"Xu~"

I don't know who started it, but there was a burst of booing at the scene.

Faced with this "unorganized and undisciplined" situation, Qin Feng not only did not stop it, but acquiesced to it with a smile.

"Although, they were eliminated from other frontline troops."

"Xu~"

"Although, the quantity can only equip half a battalion."

"Xu~~"

The boos from the audience made Qiu Guohai and others laugh.

It's a pretty formal occasion, how come it turned into a crosstalk conference, with live interaction?

Qin Feng couldn't help laughing. Giving only half a battalion of a reinforced regiment new equipment was indeed a bit too stingy.

But he also knew that the boss was afraid that if they gave too much at once, the team would become arrogant. The ideal situation was to exhaust the resources and keep the team going for a long time.

"But, it's new equipment after all, and it's an updated version, right?"

"Yes!"

"These equipment will be given to the third and eleventh companies, which performed most outstandingly in the exercise!"

Qin Feng continued, "Besides that, the captain and I also won many other rewards, such as medals!"

"Oh!"

"Promotion in rank and position!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Award certificates, and even a spot on the list for next year's promotion to officer and a spot on the war zone talent training program!"

"Oooooohhhhhhhh!"

The atmosphere on the scene was pushed to its climax by Qin Feng.

From the very beginning, I thought it was going to disband, but it progressed step by step until the end when there were huge rewards.

The emotional rendering in this really made Qiu Guohai and others admire him.

The title of "love saint" is well-deserved and is popular with both men and women!

……

In the morning, after the flag-raising ceremony, Qin Feng called Chen Zilong and Long Tianye to his office.

He pulled out a captain's rank from the drawer and pushed it over. "The commander and I have been very pleased with your performance recently. Now we are returning it to its rightful owner."

Chen Zilong looked at his military rank with mixed feelings.

What he wanted most was to regain his lost face and put his military rank back on his shoulders.

But now his mood has changed, and he doesn't take this thing too seriously.

Chen Zilong shook his head. "Zhengwei, I now feel that being a soldier is pretty good. Compared to being an officer, I think a crooked shoulder is more pure and simple."

Qin Feng smiled: "It seems that you have indeed made a lot of progress. If that's the case, then this rank is no longer suitable for you."

"Long Tianye, it's yours now."

Long Tianye was overjoyed and laughed like a husky.

He came here after graduating from military school, and his rank has always been lieutenant.

This time, it seems that I can finally move up from platoon level to company level. How can I not be happy?

In contrast, Chen Zilong, having experienced demotion, neglect, and the sacrifice of his comrades, has been able to take many things in a more open-minded way.

As long as I can continue to wear the new military uniform and make contributions, what difference does it make whether I am a non-commissioned officer or an officer?

In the past, he was too obsessed with the stars on his shoulders, thinking that he had a frivolous sense of superiority because he came from a military family.

Because of this, his father gradually lost his original intention and slowly forgot the original intention of joining the army, so Chen Zilong would never go back to that old path.

But the more frank he was, the more Qin Feng wanted to entrust him with important tasks, because Chen Zilong was now able to shoulder the responsibility...
