After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 626: Chapter 451 Pre-departure Arrangements_2

The State has started to offer tremendous preferential policies for college graduates who enlist as soldiers this year: College graduates are given priority in recruitment, training, student loan compensation, and promotion policies and so forth.

With the increase of highly educated talents, the Firefighting force has seen an opportunity.

Li Zhi gave instructions that this year, we must vie to recruit more soldiers with higher education and good physical foundations.

Although these soldiers cannot serve in Guiyang as they must serve over 100 kilometers from home, it’s a provincial-level strategy. Guiyang takes the lead, and with the joint efforts of each Detachment, everyone aims for the bigger picture before considering the smaller details.

For this matter, Political Commissar Cheng said he had communicated with several Detachment leaders, and the unity was unprecedented.

Actually, Fang Huai really didn’t have much experience with this, nor any special abilities, other than networking at the Armed Forces Department and speaking nicely. However, both leaders unanimously believed he was someone capable of handling major tasks, so when they asked him to do it, he had no choice but to agree.

This matter would benefit the Second Squadron. Given the current status of the Second Squadron, they would certainly get first pick when the new recruit group divides up the soldiers.

First, let’s promise to do this.

And then there was the third thing.

His uncle asked him to take a day off tomorrow to spend quality time with his mom and Yang Shaoqing.

After a moment of thought, he agreed it was a good idea. The national combat competition had just ended, and he needed to return at the beginning of November. He now had new plans.

This weekend would be spent resting for two days, devoted to the two most important women in his life.

Time was of the essence. After a passionately celebrated victory meal, he saw off the leadership, arranged for his mom and Yang Shaoqing to head back to the Hotel first, promising to spend the weekend with them, then he took Cao Yi towards the Squadron Department.

Old Cao was a bit bewildered.

"What’s going on?"

As they walked, Fang Huai spoke.

"I need to take time off this weekend."

"If you need to take leave, then take it. You’re not currently on the roster, and you should be at the Military Academy during this period. Plus, the Leadership is aware that your family is here; you don’t need to submit a leave request, just go directly."

"The Leadership has assigned me a task. I have to return at the beginning of November, to the Military Academy. At the very least, I should complete a month there. So, I’m preparing to go to the Academy next Wednesday. There are some things that I need to explain to you."

"Hey, hey, don’t rush. If you’re leaving Wednesday, you’ve still got two workdays left, right? I’ve been taking walks every day after dinner, you know."

Fang Huai stopped and turned around: "Did Squad Leader Hao teach you that?"

Cao Yi touched his stomach: "Tsk, a thirty-year-old man has to take care of himself."

Fang Huai silently grabbed his arm, quickening their pace.

"A squad leader can take care of himself, you can’t. The Second Squadron has a heavy responsibility; if you need to take care of yourself, I might as well report to have you transferred to the Command Department to be an official, what’s the point?"

Cao Yi really wanted to curse.

Do you fucking understand who the Secretary is?

He was utterly frustrated.

At that moment, Ye Jiahong came from behind, excited.

"Hey! I think that’s a great idea! Transfer him, and I’ll become the Secretary!"

Fang Huai turned around, more speechless, then looked at Cao Yi with a bright smile.

"Never mind, I think Secretary Cao is more reliable."

...

Once inside the Squadron Department, Fang Huai quickly wrote down a few names on a piece of paper and handed it to Cao Yi.

Jiang Yonghui, Han Shaofeng, Wang Feng, Luo Ye, Shen Danian.

"These five are going to be transferred from other whole corps soon, probably within a week or two; they are all champions from the national combat competition field.

The order of these names represents their ranking in the recent Grand Martial Arts Competition.

Jiang Yonghui stands out in water rescue abilities; he can be the Captain of the Water Rescue Sub-team. Han Shaofeng is good at both weight-bearing and rope work; he can be considered for the Mountain Rescue Team Captain. However, it’s not set in stone. Everyone in the Squadron, as well as those transferred in later, should be given a chance. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Also, Yin Wen from Southeastern Guizhou is coming over next week."

Cao Yi was so surprised he stood up.

"Damn, is Luo Ye coming back? He’s only fourth in this group?!"

Luo Ye used to be a contender who could hold his own against He Zhijun!

Ye Jiahong was also stunned.

And slightly overjoyed.

"Damn, Luo Ye is coming back? That f*cker. He won over eight hundred bucks from me playing poker over New Year’s, then transferred right after. Damn it, this year over New Year’s, I’m going to get my revenge!"

Fang Huai just pursed his lips, showing no interest in responding to Ye Jiahong.

"Luo Ye isn’t what he used to be. I even asked He Zhijun to keep an eye on him. He Zhijun thinks Luo Ye might have slacked off a bit in Chongqing, but his basics are still solid. In individual overall scores at the competition... he should probably make it into the top hundred.

The people coming this time each have a specialty in a certain area, with the exception of him... he’s well-rounded. But I’ve talked to him, and he still feels attached to the old Squadron, and he’s familiar with how things work. So pulling back the talent we lost to the Chongqing Team also serves as a morale booster for everyone regarding the future development of the Squadron.

I’d advise you not to fixate on past performance but to look at everyone’s progress. If the Second Squadron continues its training, it’s only a matter of time before we produce many talents.

The techniques taught by the national coaches shouldn’t be neglected. The rush for immediate results is over. We should reduce the focus on individual events and prioritize comprehensive training and scientific approaches."

Cao Yi nodded thoughtfully, overwhelmed: "Okay."

"There are also a few miscellaneous tasks," Fang Huai continued:

"Most importantly, Party branch building. This is a major card for the Squadron to play. Next, we aim to develop into a nationally recognized model Squadron. This is indispensable. You are the Instructor and the Secretary; this is also your achievement, along with Deputy Secretary Ye and Instructor Huang. I’m the least involved among us; you guys need to take it to heart."
