Chapter 268 No One Can Be Left Behind



Minister Kang, who had just taken office, was slapped in the face by a man named Zhang and old man Li who were far away in Shanghai.

Kang Shumao smiled on the surface and seemed not to care, but in his heart he hated the old man and the young man.

As a man who has experienced many hardships, his counterattack is quite sharp.

He thought that no one could say a word about his handling of the matter.

The first document he issued was to point out that all temporary workers in Shanghai were originally educated youth, but had not received re-education on the front line.

So he notified all employees stationed in Shanghai, including temporary workers, that they must return to the Corps to receive front-line labor education for three to six months.

At the same time, he will select and second a group of educated youth from the Corps to the Shanghai Guesthouse to assist the newly appointed Director Niu in his work.

I have to say that Kang Shumao's move was indeed quite clever.

First of all, the reasons for this decision are extremely justified.

Secondly, Minister Kang can let everyone see the consequences of offending him.

Would a group of urban educated youth who grew up in the big city of Shanghai be willing to come to the Northeast farm to suffer?

Those temporary workers either give up their temporary jobs or accept his "punishment".

He believed that this move was enough to undermine the cohesion of those around Zhang Hongcheng.

Even if someone really followed Zhang Hongcheng back to the Northeast to suffer, he would still have the final say on whether they could return to Shanghai after three months or even half a year.

Minister Kang also knew that some people were asking Niu Haixin to act as a matchmaker.

By then, as long as they work for a month or so, these delicate female educated youth will surely face the reality and obey their own arrangements.

In the end, these favors are still yours.

As soon as this document was released, the entire Corps suddenly became pessimistic about Zhang Hongcheng's future.

If Zhang Hongcheng returned to the Northeast to farm, accompanied by a group of old subordinates, such a situation would surely be enough to suffocate Zhang Hongcheng to death.

Each of those old subordinates who were willing to follow Zhang Hongcheng and give up their life in the big city to suffer in the countryside will be a shackle on Zhang Hongcheng.

Of course, if Zhang Hongcheng just returned to Northeast China with a few regular workers, the problem would be much easier to solve.

After receiving this document, Zhang Hongcheng couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to Kang.

It's not so bad for Jian Yong's old classmates and Bao Zhihui's old colleagues. They can go back with him, and at worst their old units will take them in.

But it is hard to say about the two groups of temporary workers he recruited in Shanghai.

The young man and girl paid a lot to stay in Shanghai and avoid going to the countryside to work in the fields.

There are also Lu Li and others who have already found their future partners through Chu Miaohong's introduction.

The possibility of them abandoning everything and following Zhang Hongcheng back to Northeast China is extremely small.

Zhang Hongcheng could only sigh to the sky and feel extremely sorry about this.

He had previously thought about taking this group of old subordinates to college and embrace a life different from his previous life.

Now it seems that this possibility has been infinitely reduced.

Just when people in the Shanghai guesthouse were in panic, Minister Kang’s second move came.

He generously transferred Zhang Hongcheng back to his old unit, the Fourth Division.

He was appointed as the company commander of the newly formed Red Flag Company.

The base is the Hudong Wetland that Zhang Hongcheng is most familiar with.

Minister Kang also took great pains to transfer his old subordinates, the Red Flag Platoon, from the Red Flag Forest Farm to accompany him back to his hometown.

The newly formed Red Flag Company had only two platoons, one was the Red Flag Forest Farm Platoon, and the other was the Shanghai Platoon formed by the educated youths who were entertained in Shanghai.

Although it seems like an extremely magnanimous act, Minister Kang’s calculations are hidden in every step.

Apart from anything else, he easily separated the Hongqi Forest Farm, which made everyone jealous, from Zhang Hongcheng's sphere of influence.

This also caused Zhang Hongcheng to lose his largest material supply channel after returning to the Northeast.

And turning the Shanghai educated youth, who were mostly women, into a platoon was clearly intended to increase Zhang Hongcheng's burden.

More importantly, since the Hudong Wetland Camp was flooded by Qu Honghao last time, although the water level receded a little in the second year, exposing the barracks and other things, most of the wetland is still covered by water, making it impossible to cultivate.

Minister Kang mobilized his connections to force this resolution through the meeting.

There was only one reason: the Corps’ policy was correct and wetland development must continue, so he suggested that Zhang Hongcheng, who had been successful before, take the lead.

Of course, he finally took a step back and let Zhang Hongcheng make his own choice, whether to return to Hudong Wetland, or go to Dongfanghong Wetland or Zhenbao Island Wetland.

Without hesitation, Zhang Hongcheng immediately chose Hudong Wetland.

Before receiving the second move from Minister Kangwu, he was indeed a little worried, but after the second move from Minister Kangwu was issued, he laughed in his heart.

The weather has been good in the past two years, but why hasn’t the water level in Hudong Wetland receded?

This puzzle stumped everyone at the time.

It was not until a dispute among villagers in Xianghong Commune, south of the wetland, that the problem was finally discovered.

Members of the two production teams started fighting over a trivial matter.

The commune director was so angry that he punished hundreds of members who participated in the fight by making them dig mud.

A few years ago, a mudslide occurred on the hillside north of the commune, blocking a mountain pass.

Because not many people usually pass through that mountain pass, the commune did not bother to deal with it.

Until this time, the commune director punished hundreds of people to dig.

After two days of digging, the members accidentally discovered a blocked underground river.

The experienced old man immediately organized people to dredge the underground river, otherwise it would become a major hidden danger in the future.
