Chapter Nineteen Action

  As the controversy between the battalion commander and the political commissar spread throughout the battalion, all the staff in the battalion were extremely cautious, fearing that any mistake would occur at this time. The number of times they greeted each other and chatted has decreased, and everyone is now focusing on their work.

  The disciplinary document was issued, and in the absence of Chen Fei, Tang Jingwu presided over the meeting. The meeting naturally went through the process of self-criticism, self-rescue, and reporting, which was passed! There's no way around it, this is an order from above, would a team at level one dare not to execute it?

  Soon, personnel from the Political Department's Guard Division began to get busy, with each battalion, company, platoon and squad holding meetings to implement the orders of their superiors.

  The security department has become busy, really busy. Everyone looks at each other with a scrutinizing gaze, as if everyone has a problem. This makes many soldiers in the whole army feel their scalp numb! Will something happen?

  Everyone has shortcomings, no one is perfect! The focus was supposed to be on checking if there were any spies infiltrating the team, but instead it's shifted to people's shortcomings! Problems with lifestyle and warlordism are all being brought up!

  This is really infuriating! Isn't this just asking for trouble? It's not easy to get a good grasp of the combat effectiveness of this unit, and now it's being messed with like this. After a long time, will this unit still have any combat effectiveness left?

  Chen Feichen called Xiao Fei Shuai several times, but now he also knew that the whole division was carrying out a rectification movement, not just his own regiment. Xiao Fei Shuai's meaning was equally simple: as long as you're not a spy, what are you afraid of being investigated?

  This one sentence shut Chen Feichen up. Chen Feichen wasn't waiting to take the blow either, since there was no external help, he had to rescue himself, and most importantly, he needed to solve it himself, seeking help from others is not as good as seeking help from oneself!

  Chen Feichen immediately summoned all the company commanders and battalion commanders to his residence that night, what for? Drinking and chatting, bonding emotions! However, Chen Feichen also ordered the guard platoon to take turns standing watch at the main gate, prohibiting anyone from entering without permission. As for who was considered an outsider, Chen Feichen's bodyguard Dong Cheng knew best!

  The wine has been drunk, and what should be said has been said. It's time to talk about the main topic. If we continue drinking, it will be excessive. Chen Feichen said: "Does everyone have any opinions on the current situation of our troops?"

  After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone, but no one present picked up the conversation. Isn't this situation obvious? Several regimental and battalion commanders were from the Nationalist Party's troops, how could they not know what the current situation is? Several of them have already started writing self-criticism reports.

  Chen Feichen saw that everyone was a bit evasive and smiled, saying: "Huh? Have you all become mute? Is there something you can't say?"

  Chen Mingliang was the one who understood the captain's intention the most. He had already taken care of those few battalion commanders under his command, but judging from the current trend, it would eventually be investigated to himself. Now that things were still under control, he was worried that things would expand and become uncontrollable.

  Chen Mingliang was the first to answer, and he was the only one who could answer. Chen Mingliang said: "Captain, isn't this obvious? The higher-ups don't trust us newcomers, they're not convinced that we can become officials just by coming over!"

  Chen Feichen was somewhat surprised by this, he didn't expect the chief of staff to speak so directly. The team leader's silence gave the battalion and company commanders present some courage, and they all began to vent their grievances, with no one not scolding those from the political department! Liao Kefan was scolded the most times, and also the most severely. If he were present, it's estimated that he would have been scolded until he spat blood.

  Chen Feichen cleared his throat after listening for a while, and everyone slowly stopped talking. They all understood that the captain was about to speak. Chen Feichen said: "This is also Director Liao's job! Even if there are some mistakes, we can't make personal attacks on him! We are people with quality, do you know? We need to have quality, don't just scold for no reason, what kind of behavior is this? If outsiders find out, how will they look at our 3rd battalion?"

  Chen Feichen's tone became increasingly severe, to the point where he was no longer joking but lecturing. Chen Feichen's words themselves were problematic, and if old political workers like Tang Jingwu were present, they would have severely pointed out what this outsider was doing. This is a team led by GCD, and this is clearly mountain strongholdism!

  Unfortunately, they were not there. Except for the KMT officers who had originally surrendered, the rest were all old revolutionaries, but they were all rough men! They fought bravely, but their political awareness was not high. Why did Chen Feicheng only invite the company commander and battalion commander, but not the instructor or guide? To put it bluntly, he was still uncertain in his heart!

  Chen Feichen saw that everyone present was silent, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart. He still spoke sternly, "Now our troops have finally achieved results after intense training, so our current task is still to focus on training and strive to go to the battlefield to prove ourselves! What is a troop? A troop is here to fight, everyone go back and immediately start training for me, half a month later the whole regiment will compete in martial arts, whoever gets last place... Ha ha! The consequences are yours to bear!"

  "Yes!" The crowd erupted in a loud cheer.

  Chen Feichen then picked up his bowl and took a sip with the others! Seeing that Chen Feichen had finished speaking, Chen Mingliang said: "Captain, I will definitely formulate a new training outline. I plan to train our regiment into the best regular army in the whole army!"

  Chen Feichen thought to himself, what kind of regular army is this? Are you saying that our entire military isn't a regular army? However, after careful consideration, it seemed that Chen Mingliang's words were also correct! In terms of regularization, the National Army was indeed superior. Although they lost battles, their basic skills were evident: engineers could excavate mountains and build bridges, lay mines and clear them with ease. The combination of infantry and artillery, tanks and infantry were all well-coordinated, these were all several levels higher than the troops here. Not to mention other things, just looking at the construction of fortifications, the trenches dug on that side were better than those on this side, it's undeniable!

  Chen Feichen understood, but that doesn't mean others do! Chen Feichen intentionally made the officials on this side feel at ease, saying: "Alright, let's make everything clear with results. We'll talk about it all again in half a month when we have results!"

  Chen Feichen's gathering, of course, did not escape Tang Jingwu and Liao Kefan. There was nothing to hide anyway, it wasn't as if he was betraying the revolution or doing something shameful!

  Tang Jingwu's eyebrows furrowed even more after receiving the news, as if there were a few more wrinkles! Liao Kefan's face turned iron-green, pacing back and forth in his room, definitely thinking of a countermeasure.

  Chen Fei Dust doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know. As long as he has soldiers in his hands and his subordinates support him, that's enough! Of course, he also needs to maintain a good relationship with his superiors! As for the likes of Liao Kefan, do whatever it takes to deal with them! Don't come to provoke me, if you provoke me, I'll make sure he gets kicked out of the Third Regiment once and for all.
