Chapter Sixteen: Choosing People (First Update)

  The first and second battalions suffered heavy casualties, to the point where they had to be rebuilt, which made Zhao Difei very worried. The third battalion was different, as they did not participate in the siege of the engineering company's battle, the reason is also very simple, because the engineering company also originated from the third battalion, this is also what Zheng Pingsheng feared would leak out.

  The framework of the three battalions is still there, which has also reduced the workload of reorganization, but adjustments are also necessary. Liu Chun was transferred to serve as deputy battalion commander and company commander, while the platoon leaders and other positions in the third battalion were taken over by people from the engineering battalion. At the same time, some people from the third battalion were also transferred to the engineering battalion!

  Playing dumb, this is what Mao Fengzhi meant, and also to let Lin Hu and others see, don't let people think that the Engineer Battalion is really my Mao Fengzhi's direct lineage unit, it's a unit that can't be fooled!

  The candidate for the third battalion commander has not been determined yet, which also makes many people pay attention to it, especially the other few battalion commanders, Huang Mingyang, Jia Cheng, Hao Junsheng, and Hong Fu are all popular candidates!

  Hao Junsheng was very calm, he knew his chances were slim, and in his heart, he was still thinking about the National D, his inner thoughts were still on revolution, he hated warlords! However, he also liked to see a truly revolutionary team, and he also liked to have more control over such teams, he was very conflicted.

  Mao Fengzhi arrived, which surprised Hao Junsheng. He welcomed Mao's arrival in his own barracks and said with great respect: "Commander!"

  Mao Feng smiled and looked at Hao Junsheng, saying lightly: "I'm just the deputy captain, and when will you also come up with this set?"

  Hao Junsheng's face turned slightly red, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he knew what Mao Feng meant! His silence was perhaps the best answer.

  Mao Feng stopped smiling and asked instead: "What do you think of Zhao Pingzhou?"

  "Zhao Pingzhou?" Hao Junsheng asked in surprise, but then he understood why Mao Feng said that. He inquired further and said: "You mean to let him be the captain of the third battalion?"

  Maofeng did not deny it, he nodded and said: "Although he had some differences with me before, it is undeniable that this person has great ability in leading troops. The three battalions were once the most powerful in the third regiment! Although he also has regional narrow-mindedness and strong xenophobic emotions, these are minor problems that can be changed. Now is the time to use people, we cannot nitpick! What do you think?"

  Hao Junsheng also didn't think much, and said seriously: "Now that you are the team leader, it's up to you to decide how to choose these three regiments! However, I think Zhao Pingzhou needs you to persuade him in person!"

  "Ah? If I can't even convince Zhao Pingzhou, how can I be the deputy team leader?"

  Confidence, strong confidence, let people have no doubt about the confidence, Hao Junsheng did not question, he knew that if he questioned at this moment, it would leave a bad impression. Moreover, he also wanted to know what Mao Feng could do now, and he needed to make a choice for his own future!

  The meeting was convened by Mao Feng himself, who summoned all his subordinates to attend. All personnel above the rank of platoon leader from the Engineering Battalion and the Third Regiment were present.

  After Mao Feng expressed his decision, the result was naturally a big controversy. There were supporters and many opponents. The opponent's point of view is that Zhao Pingzhou is Zheng Ping's legitimate child, this person will not be loyal, but only a hidden danger! Since it is a hidden danger, then it must be eliminated.

  Mao Feng listened patiently to everyone's opinions, and then he said: "Everyone has expressed their opinions, I'm very happy, this shows that everyone regards me as one of us, which is great. We are an integral whole, if there are different views, we can express them. This style should be continued. I have heard everyone's opinions, I think they all make some sense, and now I will explain why I made such a decision."

  He paused, looking at everyone and said: "Zhao Pingzhou, the old captain of our battalion, was my superior when I first joined the army. Although he is Zhengping's right-hand man, this person is very different from Zhengping. Did he make things difficult for us? He also had some xenophobic ideas, but that's not why we resent him. Everyone should think carefully, this isn't a blood feud! Do we have such deep hatred towards him? He didn't try to kill us or leave us no way out. In fact, he once said a few fair words to our engineering company, for which Zhengping scolded him severely! This is very precious, if it were us, what would we do?"

  Seeing everyone looking thoughtful, Mao Fengzhi felt more relieved. At least they all started thinking and weren't just following one idea. Mao Fengzhi continued: "Brothers, what are we here for? If there were good days to live, why would we join the army? Since we've joined the army, we must do it well, at least be able to live a good life. How can we live a good life? That's by having a combat-effective unit, and how can we improve our combat effectiveness? We need good cadres and good officers to lead us. Zhao Pingzhou is a talented person who excels in training and commanding troops, his marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat skills are all outstanding, everyone knows this. He is a talent, and as talents, we must pay attention! I also hope that everyone can grow up, become talents, and become the backbone of our independent regiment!"

  Talent is a vague concept in the minds of some uncultured people, but this does not prevent them from making progress. Everyone wants to live out their own life! Liu Chun is just like that. He knows where his weakness lies - he has no tactics at all, and what he fundamentally relies on is bloodiness! Fighting without fear of death! He originally had a great opinion of Zhao Pingzhou, but now he also thinks back to his original understanding of Zhao Pingzhou. When he compared the two in his heart, he was convinced.

  He stood up and said: "Old big, no, team leader, I support your decision, Zhao camp long is the camp long I admire! No need to say!"

  The three battalions' commanders have all agreed, so there's nothing unexpected left. The other officers in the three battalions who had disagreed also expressed their agreement one after another.

  Mao Feng's smile said: "Very well, then it's settled. Now I'll go to the teacher's office and get someone to come over! Zhao Pingzhou is our man!"

  Mao Feng has always been the kind of person who thinks and acts quickly, swift and decisive. After dispersing the meeting, he immediately led his guards to ride to the division headquarters on horseback. Although the independent regiment is now a directly affiliated force under the military, it lacks momentum, and the three divisions are also under Lin Hu's control at present.

  After Mao Feng arrived at the division headquarters, he still met with Liu Xu Guang. Liu Xu Guang was still very surprised by Mao Feng's visit. At this time, who would still come to see him? The empty-headed commander had no value to be used at all. Moreover, who didn't know to avoid suspicion now? As long as they were still working under Lin Hu's command, they must understand this point.

  Liu Xuguang still received Mao Fengzhi, and Mao Fengzhi also directly stated his intention without any ambiguity. Liu Xuguang was also moved in his heart, since Zheng Ping had already died, but some of his subordinates had not completely died out. If these people could come out again to take on some duties, it would be beneficial for himself too. Who knows, he might even make a comeback.

  With this idea, Liu Xuguang had a new idea about Mao Feng again. If he could win over Mao Feng, then he would also have good days! Borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, this method is not a dream!

  Liu Xuguang naturally agreed, but then he said: "Feng's younger brother, for the sake of agreement, there is no way, younger brother you also know, now for the sake of being unable to be in charge, now more critical is still Lin Dashi's decision!"

  Mao Feng said: "General Lin has so many things to do, and if he is disturbed by such a small matter, then what do we subordinates need to do? Moreover, you are still the commander now. If General Lin doesn't adjust his position for one day, then you will still be the commander for one day. Is this just a nominal title?"

  "Hmm?" Liu Xuguang's mind was racing quickly, he was considering his own gains and losses, and had to admit that Mao Feng's words were quite provocative.

  But he soon thought of a point, that is, what if this pit was dug by Lin Huo on purpose to let himself jump in? At that time, he wouldn't even have a place to cry. Why didn't he think of this before?

  His face looked unpleasant as he said, "Feng's younger brother, this is probably a bit too much to ask of you, isn't it? You know this isn't some trivial matter! If this gets investigated further, neither of us can afford to take the blame!"

  Mao Feng looked down on Liu Xu Guang in his heart, and now he was still hesitant. This kind of person would always be like this. However, Mao Feng's face remained calm as he said: "Commander Liu, do you think I'm joking? If so, then I'll take my leave!"

  Maofeng's head didn't turn back and he walked away directly, his departure was very decisive. At this time, Liu Xuguang felt regret again, because he knew that Maofeng might not be the one who had deceived him. In the end, he still did not speak up to stop him. He seemed to feel like he had lost something.

  After Mao Feng came out, he knew that he might really have to meet Lin Hu. The three instructors were all new faces and were transferred from the first and second instructors. At this time, they were all thinking of ways to establish their prestige in order to consolidate their positions. If he joined them at this time, one mistake would make him the target, and then he would be tongue-tied in front of Lin Hu, which would really make Lin Hu have some opinions! It seems that his own thoughts were still too good.

  With this realization, Mao Feng immediately led his men to Lin Hu's mansion. At that time, for high-ranking officials like Lin Hu, their mansions and offices were not much different! The local emperor was just like that.

  As Mao Feng rode his horse slowly towards Lin Hu's mansion, he ran into an acquaintance, someone he had met once before. Of course, in Mao Feng's eyes, this was already a familiar face.
