After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 336: Chapter 270: I Want to Join the Party!

Before the excavator arrived, another team had come to the school.

The Party Member Rescue Team, organized by the Hanwang on-site command.

Forty or fifty people.

It wasn’t simply about being a Party member; those who came were generally young and strong, familiar with the situation.

Lifting stones, they were scarcely any less capable than the others, and moreover, having rested well over the past two days and being in their own hometown, they worked with great spirit and were indeed a force to be reckoned with.

Fang Huai attempted to communicate with the children in the hole, trying to wake them up, while watching this new team work.

He felt quite envious in his heart.

He also wanted to join the Party.

In the military, the Party commands the gun, and to be an outstanding soldier, this step is inevitable.

But joining the Party is a serious matter, with numerous procedures under normal circumstances, including quota availability, writing an application to join the Party, having a Party contact person, stating motivations for joining, as well as an approval process.

Moreover, the times for joining the Party in the military are generally June and November, with application and political review periods in March and April, and September and October of the second half of the year; this first half of the year, he had already missed the opportunity and would have to wait for the second half.

In the midst of feeling somewhat regretful, the excavator arrived.

The operator was a fourth-term non-commissioned officer.

A soldier who had just heard Fang Huai claim to be the corps martial arts competition champion saw the squad leader and couldn’t help boasting:

"Our Squad Leader Fan has superb skills! The ace of mechanics in our brigade! First place in the Engineering Machinery Martial Arts Competition! He can thread a thin steel wire with an excavator, lift a bottle of mineral water, stack glasses! When on a mission, he can even make an excavator climb a steep slope of seventy to eighty degrees!

With engineering machinery, he’s accumulated over 400,000 kilometers! Many of our camp’s veteran drivers were taught by him! Hearing that he was needed for earthquake rescue, he even cancelled his leave to visit family!

Buddy, having him here to ensure your safety during the rescue, you can rest assured!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Huai nodded slightly, as a sign of respect.

Here was another old squad leader who had given up his leave to participate in the rescue.

In the military, one does not need to wield a gun or man a cannon to be dubbed a hero; soldiers who have honed a particular skill to the highest level, even if they are veterinarians or work in the animation industry, are high-end talents. Sometimes, problems that cannot be solved by a thousand-strong army, they can solve with ease, as if growing flowers from cracks in the rocks.

To carve paths through mountains, to build bridges over waters.

Such individuals not only turn into high-ranking non-commissioned officers in the military, but upon leaving the service, many companies vie to employ them at high salaries. Some bosses even wait at the camp gates with contracts in hand when they are discharged.

Having technical skills, discipline, and a sense of responsibility—this is the general view of military talents from societal enterprises.

Perhaps before joining the military they were just ordinary students, but after long-term honing on specialized military posts, their calling cards become edged in gold.

The strict military training guarantees their technical skills, and their strict self-discipline is also the basis of the military’s reputation.

Moreover, modernized leadership increasingly favors technical solutions to problems. These individuals are noted by leaders, and some are even ranked higher in the leaders’ hearts than the king of soldiers; in times of trouble, issues concerning them are given priority. fгeewebnovёl.com

Enlisting is a channel for ordinary youths, especially college students, to become technical talents and realize their self-worth.

...

Before digging, Fang Huai still managed to break open the hole slightly, and with jacks and support poles, he went in for an inspection.

After descending onto the slope, the space inside was just enough for a person to crouch and enter.

This was beneficial for rescues in narrow spaces, even to the extent of being able to pass materials through the gaps.

However, for Fang Huai’s plan, it was no good news.

Where a person could enter, stones could too.

But one of the children’s hands was already turning purplish, squashed under a prefabricated slab, and it indeed seemed they could not be preserved any longer.

If the necrotic organ was not removed in a timely fashion, infection could spread.

And the girl Cao Jianqiang mentioned, who had been making noise asking them not to sleep and to stay alert, her whereabouts and condition were unknown. Despite several calls, there was no response.

This place was continuously draining their life away.

Fang Huai confirmed once again that he had to take a risk.

He filled the area beside the boy with support equipment and as he crawled back to the surface, everyone was fervently shovelling the rubble near the entrance.

Battalion Commander Liang and that Squad Leader Fan stood by the hole, and helped him out.

"Hurry up," Fang Huai said with a grave expression as he came out, "The boy’s arm is already decaying. I don’t know how much can be preserved. A minute sooner could mean less amputation, maybe even avoiding amputation altogether.

The girl hasn’t made any sound now, my judgment is she may be deeper in. We must take the gamble."

Squad Leader Fan looked around for a moment, then stroked his chin.

"I’ve seen the depth; how large of a contact area do you need? What angle do you want the slope at, to facilitate rapid rescue?" he asked.

Fang Huai thought for a moment and said, "Within an hour, make it as big as you can, but absolutely do not affect the space outside the entrance! Your excavator’s bucket has too much pushing force, and it’s still within 48 hours. If there are survivors nearby, they’ll definitely be affected by the pushing force of your bucket. So, manual debris removal must be carried out!"

But Fang Huai’s seriousness was met with a smile from Squad Leader Fan.

Squad Leader Fan stepped forward, patted Fang Huai and said, "Young comrade, if you want pure manual debris removal, calling me here is completely unnecessary!

In our battalion, any one person can do the job safely!

All right, rest assured and get back to it. You’ve set the time. As long as you hold on, leave the rest to me!"
