Chapter 227: Cleverly defeat the 701st Regiment’s deliberate obstruction!
The 702nd Regiment formed a special working group, with a deputy regiment commander in charge of leading the team to visit various regiment-level units to discuss matters. The standards were already high enough.
The division did not send anyone to accompany the working group to the 701st Regiment for negotiations.
He just asked the division duty room to contact the 701st Regiment, notifying them that the personnel coordination team had set out and asking them to prepare for the corresponding reception.
The 702nd Regiment was going to form a new combined battalion, and this news had long been widely circulated throughout the army.
It can be said to be the biggest news of the entire army this year!
Not to mention Division T.
It would be a lie to say that the main regiments and logistical units under it were not envious. Besides being envious, every unit was also feeling quite uncomfortable.
Because the division had sent the military district's documents to all units a week ago.
Requested to cooperate with the military district's requirements and coordinate personnel to go to the 702nd Regiment.
Every regiment has the most outstanding elite company, and the outstanding elites support the elite company to win honors. The way to win honors is basically through various assessments.
In a competitive mode such as competition and assessment, individual ability is generally greater than that of the group.
A few outstanding elite soldiers can support a company.
That is to say...
In fact, each company has only a few top soldiers, and most of the others are ordinary soldiers, who are also the basic foundation of the entire company.
The company’s performance appraisals, competitions, etc. are all won by the top soldiers.
The value of top soldiers in the company is so high, and it is very difficult to train a top soldier. It requires not only sweat but also talent and luck.
Therefore, there is no guarantee that any soldier can be trained to become an excellent soldier.
Now the 702nd Regiment is doing well...
Not only do we want to get well-trained soldiers from them, but we also want the best non-commissioned officer backbones.
Take away all the "hope" they have worked so hard to cultivate.
It would be strange if the company commanders and the regiment commanders above them could still be in a good mood and actively cooperate under such circumstances.
and so.
Even though the division called in advance to notify the group and the 701st Regiment had to follow orders to receive them, they still did not give the working group a good look.
Even though they knew that the working group was led by the deputy head of the delegation, they only sent a small officer from the Organization Section of the Political Department to receive them.
This is obviously causing trouble.
The four words "pretend to obey but secretly disobey" are used to the extreme.
Whether in society or in the military, the most basic principle in reception etiquette is equality of status and level. The level of the guest should be determined according to the level of the guest.
If the other party has a special status and needs attention, they will even send someone one or two levels higher to receive him.
The 701st Regiment sent a captain as an officer to receive the lieutenant colonel-level deputy regimental-level working group, which was several levels lower in standard.
At most, we can only receive company-level units.
This kind of belittling approach has completely thrown away the etiquette of reception and it is clearly saying that you are not welcome here at all.
"Is this how you, the 701st Regiment, treat guests? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
When the working group leader Zhou Huimin saw that there was no welcoming team, no welcoming team, and even no leader of the same level, but just a lonely little clerk, his face immediately fell and he almost burst into cursing on the spot while trying hard to suppress his anger.
If he didn't need a favor, he would have turned around and left.
The young clerk who received the guests was extremely nervous. How could he dare to face the anger of the deputy regimental-level cadre?
I don't even know how to respond.
Since he was able to work as an officer in the regiment's headquarters, he must be very knowledgeable about reception etiquette and knew very well that such a reception was inappropriate.
But this was arranged by the team leader himself, and he had no right to refuse.
He was a small-time man and could do nothing about it, so he didn't dare to offend either side.
All you can do is shut up and take the blame!
"If they came to our 702nd Regiment and snatched people openly, I'm afraid our commander would be more direct and not even let them enter the regiment headquarters."
Chen Jun had expected this situation and his mood did not change at all.
Moreover, there is no point in blaming this small clerk who came out to take the blame. If a quarrel breaks out, it will even give the impression that the official is bullying others.
But then again.
When Zhou Huimin goes out, he represents the 702nd Regiment, so he must show his authority and dignity, and he must not swallow his anger and pretend that nothing happened.
Then someone needs to stand up and break this situation.
Chen Jun glanced at the deputy team leader Tang Guozhong and saw that he also looked furious. He had no intention of settling the situation and seemed to be about to start a fight.
This is not a good thing.
If there was a real commotion at the 701st Regiment Headquarters, it would indeed make the commander of the 701st Regiment lose face and get the treatment and scene he deserves.
If we do something extreme and report it to the higher authorities, we can even ask the division to issue a warning to the 701st Regiment.
But this would mean a complete breakdown in relations between the two sides, making subsequent work more difficult.
Chen Jun knew very well that he was here to get work done, not to fight with others. The key point was to get the job done well, so he could only step out and act as a peacemaker.
"Hello, Secretary Liu, right? I'm Specialist Chen from the working group."
Chen Jun stepped forward, saluted and shook hands with Officer Liu, then said in a friendly manner, "We just came from the division, with such a large group of people, we must be tired from the long journey.
How about we take a break and have a meal first?
During this time of dinner, your team leader should be back. You can report back and arrange a place for us to talk so that we can sit down and have a good chat. What do you think?"
Chen Jun spoke politely, which was very pleasant to listen to, and he also provided a perfect downhill ladder.
Secretary Liu was just at a loss as to what to do. When he saw Chen Jun's arrangements, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded and said, “Okay, okay, I’ll take you to the canteen and tell the kitchen to prepare food for you, and then I’ll go report to the head of the group.
Come, leaders of the working groups, come this way, I will take you to dinner first."
There is no doubt that Secretary Liu has good eyesight to get around in the group. He swiftly went down the slope pointed by Chen Jun and walked in front to lead the working group to the cafeteria.
The working group was received coldly and was in a very bad mood.
But thinking that Chen Jun had spoken, I could only bear it.
However, when everyone was led to the cafeteria and Secretary Liu organized the kitchen staff to bring up the food, the working group members, who were already angry, suddenly turned pale in the face.
There is a system of reception meals in the army. Although they are not all big fish and meat and Maotai, there are basically a few stir-fried dishes.
This means that once a guest comes to their home, they will prepare a small meal to entertain him.
However, the reception meal served by the 701st Regiment was actually a large enamel bowl for each person, with white rice at the bottom and three dishes on top.
Then I put the soup in a small bowl, making the three dishes and one soup complete.
Each person was given a portion based on the number of people in the working group. The portion was quite large, so the bowls were piled high.
Is this a reception meal? ? Forget about using a big pot to make a reception meal, at least you could put it in a few bowls and place it in the middle of the table to make it look better.
As a result, you serve a bowl of food to everyone, just like the soldiers serve their meals.
It’s piled so high, as if you haven’t had a meal.
Isn't this deliberately humiliating?
Even though Chen Jun had prepared himself mentally and knew that he would be bullied, he still didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this funny scene.
"It seems that the leader of the 701st Regiment has a lot of resentment in his heart. Now that he has found an opportunity, he will not stop until he has vented all his anger."
Chen Jun smiled bitterly inwardly.
Thinking about how he had risen so strongly and obtained the qualification to transform into the 7th Steel Company, it was because he had relied on the 701st Regiment and the division's direct reconnaissance battalion to get to the top in the division-level competition. It was equivalent to them helping him.
Now that we're letting them vent their anger, it can be considered as repaying the favor they did back then, and the relationship between us will be completely even.
Chen Jun let go of his anger and decided to take on this last batch. He consoled everyone and said, "We are here to ask for someone. It is also a good experience to try out the food standards of the soldiers of the 701st Regiment in advance.
I think that after this special lunch, the head of the 701st Regiment, who is so busy with his work, should have time to sit down with us and talk business.”
Chen Jun deliberately spoke loudly because he knew someone would definitely spread the word.
While speaking, he winked at everyone in the working group.
Zhou Huimin and Tang Guozhong took a look at Chen Jun and knew that Chen Jun must have made up his mind, so they did not act on the spot for Chen Jun's sake.
She forced herself to suppress the emotion in her heart and started eating with Chen Jun.
In fact, Chen Jun’s speculation was very correct.
There was indeed someone who was secretly observing the working group, who collected all the information and immediately reported it to the commander of the 701st Regiment.
Moreover, the head of the 701st Regiment made things difficult for us many times, and he was indeed venting his anger.
He was badly defeated by the 702nd Regiment in the competition that year, which made him lose face in front of Captain Wang. Now he actually came to his regiment to ask for people.
If he cooperated and handed over all the people, he would lose all his face.
The value of money doesn't mean much in the army, and wearing military uniforms or luxury goods all day long is also meaningless.
This will allow the leading cadres in the army to improve the combat effectiveness of their own troops.
What I care about most is my own face.
You can be poor but you can’t lose face.
While Captain Yang was venting his personal emotions, he actually didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter and really upset the working group.
So he sent people to watch over the whole process, for fear that he might go too far and fail.
The main goal is to just make things difficult but not to mess things up.
Overall it's quite sensible.
What Chen Jun said in the cafeteria actually concealed several layers of meaning, the most obvious hint of which had already been given to the commander of the 702nd Regiment.
What I mean is that I have already pressed it twice in a row, and I suggest you quit while you are ahead and don’t take things too far.
The messenger brought the message to Captain Yang of the 701st Regiment. He instantly understood the meaning of Chen Jun's words and his expression changed slightly.
If it were any other captain, he would not dare to threaten him, the regimental commander.
Captain Yang doesn't care at all.
Even replying with one word would be a compliment to the captain.
However, Chen Jun is an exception.
Not to mention that Chen Jun has all-round development in moral, intellectual and physical aspects, his personal strength can be called that of an octagonal warrior. In the competition, he broke the army's records that no one had been able to break for decades.
These shining points of Chen Jun are enough to make Captain Yang admire and like him.
The only regret is that they are not from our group!
For example, Chen Jun responded to the modernization of the entire army and is now officially taking the lead in forming a combined battalion, which has received strong support from the group army.
This is enough to prove that Chen Jun, a captain, can no longer be regarded as a military rank.
He is definitely a "celebrity" with a military background!
For someone who has reached the standard of a celebrity at the military district level, what he says is completely different from what ordinary people say, and to a certain extent, it is enough to influence a regiment commander.
to be honest……
Even if it meant offending the commander of another regiment, Commander Yang did not want to offend the "evil" Chen Jun.
So facing the hints and warnings in Chen Jun's words, two consecutive difficulties are already the last line, and Captain Yang really needs to think carefully.
Perhaps it was because the working group did not cause trouble after making things difficult for him twice in a row, which was enough to give him face, and his anger should have subsided.
Or maybe he was afraid of Chen Jun's influence and didn't want to offend this evildoer whose future was destined to be limitless.
Less than three minutes after Chen Jun and others finished their meal, Captain Yang appeared in the cafeteria and greeted them with a smile on his face.
When we met, he took the initiative to apologize and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I've been so busy with work lately that I can't even get around.
As soon as I heard that the working group from the 702nd Regiment had arrived, I immediately hurried back.
To express my apologies for the poor reception, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner tonight. I will drink three glasses of wine as punishment. I hope you can bear with me."
Captain Wang has said so much, and as the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Deputy head Zhou Huimin, who was originally full of anger, now felt his anger had mostly subsided. In addition, for the sake of work, he no longer cared about it.
He also forced a smile and said, "Captain Yang, we are sorry to bother you. Have you eaten? Sit down with us?"
"Row!"
Captain Yang agreed immediately and said to Officer Liu who followed him, "Liu Jun, go and print one for me. It will be the same as everyone else's."
"Okay, Captain."
Secretary Liu didn't say much, just nodded and ran to the kitchen.
It was not yet time for dinner, so even though the dishes had been cooked, they had not been taken out and were still kept in the kitchen.
"We all eat from the same big pot in our regiment, and we don't have a special meal for cadres on weekdays. I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality this time."
Captain Yang said this on purpose in order to make the two things he was looking for trouble for make things reasonable and logical.
The working group heard Captain Yang take the initiative to explain. Although the reasons for the explanation did not stand up to any scrutiny, it was still an explanation to everyone.
Adhering to the principle of friendly cooperation and needing help from others, we did not continue to worry about it.
That's where the story ends.
The "old grudge" between the two parties has been officially settled.
The only thing left is the purpose of the working group coming here and how the two sides can negotiate and coordinate to come up with a solution that satisfies both parties.
After a simple big-pot lunch, the nine-member working group followed Captain Yang to the high-level meeting room of the 701st Regiment.
