After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 597: Chapter 413 Quick Rescue Task Force!_4

"Just bring the Big Team’s first class back to the front line, remove most of the administrative work, and experienced front-line commanders and soldiers will soon spring up like bamboo shoots after rain."

"Fang Huai’s current efforts in firefighting are nothing more than a helpless choice under the existing system. If he had the chance, he would not hesitate to push firefighting responsibilities onto the local level."

"However, such a statement, which might offend many people, is something he would never voice out loud."

"But he had already acted on it, and those leaders with profound political insights certainly understood his intentions."

"Fang Huai’s ideas actually had profound implications."

"There is one thing that probably even the current directors do not understand."

"Restructuring on a local level."

"If the name changes, becomes more valiant, more professional, relinquishing the power of inspection, streamlined administration—are there not slim chances to retain the military structure?"

"The sense of honor in Firefighting has been tied to that of the Troops for decades now. Some soldiers who have gone through restructuring might say that the military and local sectors are indifferent; that’s because they never spent a day as good soldiers." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Fang Huai, spending every day with these elite top soldiers surrounding him, also knew exactly what they were thinking."

"There is a difference between a first-class Fire Chief and a first-class Soldier Chief."

"That military uniform is their eternal pride."

"Fang Huai remembered the day he left active duty and the subsequent official uniform change. He saw many videos in WeChat and QQ groups with his same year soldiers and the old Squadron: Honored Old Soldiers crying like homeless children."

"Some left, while some stayed for the familiar scent, the pressure of life. They continued to strive for honors, but the smiles on their faces and the look in their eyes when they spoke of the Troops’ past were like hooks, tightly grasping the fading half of their military sense of honor."

"Later, he visited the old Squadron. Some of the new local lads there were quite resentful towards these Elder Dengs for still using the old military ways to manage them, acting all high and mighty. And Fang Huai’s old comrades were, of course, the so-called Elder Dengs to these young men."

"The Elder Dengs also looked disdainfully at these young men and said,"

"’They don’t know jack shit. If they were to serve as soldiers, this little snot-nosed brats, wouldn’t be shaped by I... Ah, forget it.’"

"After the restructuring visit, what Fang Huai saw was mutual misunderstanding."

"Fang Huai wanted to tell the young men that they were not wrong—they were not there to be soldiers."

"He also wanted to explain on behalf of the Old Soldiers that they were just nostalgic for the past, and one couldn’t expect them to change; they weren’t equipped for that."

"He knew his observations were limited, but such situations were certainly not isolated."

"Comrades who had become lower level cadres had even more complaints."

"If detailed, each could vent for hours without repeating themselves."

"Firefighting professionalization was a necessary path."

"But professionalization was not the only option for specialization."

"Fang Huai’s private ambition was the Quick Rescue Task Force."

"Director Chen’s gaze was reevaluating Fang Huai; and even Vice Bureau Chief Yu, after hearing this discourse, was somewhat undecided, not sure whether to show support."

"This kid, it seemed, had ambitions beyond his imagination."

"On closer examination of these materials, all pointed towards that ultimate directive by name."

"In Firefighting, this was proposing a very Hawkish stance, pushing Firefighting towards full military transformation."

"Even Vice Bureau Chief Yu could only respect this force from a distance, not daring to take a stand lightly."

"In the end, it was Director Chen who spoke."

"’The ideas are good, but we must eat our meals one bite at a time. I will remember this name, but do not use it as the title of the plan.’"

"Fang Huai smiled faintly, then stood up straight:"

"’Yes, Director!’"

"Director Chen thought for a moment, then still offered a word of encouragement:"

"’Keep up the good work!’"

"Fang Huai stood tall: ’I will never give up!’"
