Lu Zhengjun smiled and said, "The last mission was rather slow. I just got back a while ago, and I might not be going on any missions anytime soon."
After a brief chat, the door closed, and Mo Cheng stood up.
He walked out from inside with his hands behind his back, putting on quite an air.
"Now that everyone is here, I'll get to it."
"I have a very urgent task coming up, which is also quite troublesome."
"This mission requires us to go to a relatively remote area, and it's not just our comrades from the military region; several teams will also be sent from Shanghai and Huadu. Is there anyone among you who wants to go?"
Mo Cheng always did this: first, he would ask around to see if anyone was willing to go.
A man sitting in the chair, who looked rather nonchalant, asked first, "Commander Mo, where is the mission location this time? You don't even finish your sentence."
"Hey kid, what's the rush? I'm just checking to see if anyone wants to go."
Mo Cheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "The mission location this time is in the desert region. We received orders from our superiors that there are suspected signs of enemy activity in the desert region. Those of you who go there will follow orders until we find the enemy agents."
Traces of enemy agents in the desert region.
As soon as those words were uttered, no one around stopped talking.
The climate in the desert is harsh, with huge temperature differences between day and night. Those who went there on missions would come back with chapped skin, cracked hands and feet, and their mouths would taste like sand when they spoke.
This isn't even the hardest part.
The bad weather makes going there a nightmare, that's one thing.
The desert region has complex terrain, and if enemy agents do infiltrate, they probably won't be able to return in a short time.
The task itself wasn't difficult, but the lack of favorable timing and location increased the difficulty level.
For people like them, such missions take at least several months at a time, and they might not even come back. Such missions are a waste of time.
Those who have already reached this position are not easy to deal with.
Opportunities are limited; it all comes down to whether you can seize them.
People like Lu Zhengjun, with their status and background, probably don't need to pay attention to these things. Any opportunities to perform well or tasks that can earn them merit should be theirs to choose first.
Only if no one else goes will it be the turn of the people below.
But most of the soldiers come from ordinary families and have to rely on themselves.
If we really go to the desert to carry out this mission, we definitely won't be able to come back in the short term. While we're in the desert, other people might have already seized the opportunity and completed two or three missions.
Or, it would be better if one could get a more important task and have the opportunity to make a contribution.
In comparison, anyone who goes to the desert is a fool.
Mo Cheng also knew that it would be difficult to get these regimental commanders to volunteer to lead their teams on this mission.
Those who reach the position of regimental commander either have no family background and have worked their way up entirely on their own. These people are generally older because they didn't have the opportunity to be noticed by their superiors when they were young. They need to make more achievements to get noticed by their superiors before they have the opportunity to perform later.
Either you are capable and your family is supportive, so you are noticed as soon as you enter the army. Those who perform well are given priority to be assigned to missions. As long as you live up to expectations, you can take advantage of these opportunities to be promoted to squad leader or platoon leader first, and then you will have more opportunities to perform.
But regardless, they are all capable. No one in the military got promoted solely through back channels without any real ability.
Seeing that they didn't speak, he simply said, "How about this, do you have any suitable candidates around you that you can recommend?"
This means you need to find someone below you.
Upon hearing this, the group frowned and began to ponder who would be the best choice to go.
This is a hot potato; even if I were to recommend someone, I wouldn't recommend someone I'm close to.
Just then, Lu Zhengjun smiled.
He stepped forward and said, "Commander Mo, I have a good candidate."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Mo Cheng was very interested.
The other regimental commanders also looked at Lu Zhengjun.
Their eyes met, and Mo Cheng's smile froze on his face. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I think Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Dekai is very suitable for this mission."
Lu Zhengjun said with a smile, "Although I have only been back for a short time, as soon as I entered the gate of our military region, I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Liu has made many military achievements in the past six months, and he is an outstanding person who has made a name for himself in the army."
really.
Mo Cheng's face immediately darkened.
The unruly Regiment Commander Xiao, seemingly oblivious to the situation, chimed in, "Hey, Regiment Commander Lu's suggestion is good. Liu Dekai has recently become quite famous; even many of the soldiers in my regiment know him. I think it would be most appropriate for him to go."
When Commander Deng and Commander Xiao looked at each other, they understood.
He echoed, "Brigade Commander Mo, I think Regiment Commander Lu and Regiment Commander Xiao are right. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is an excellent person. I think many people would agree with letting him lead the team on the mission."
They spoke so fast that Mo Cheng didn't even have a chance to refute them.
This task looks good on the surface, but it's actually a trap.
Whoever goes there will fall into a pit.
He didn't understand why Lu Zhengjun insisted on making things difficult for Liu Dekai.
Could it be that Liu Dekai offended Lu Zhengjun?
But Lu Zhengjun had just returned to the army, so how could the two have had time to get to know each other?
He recalled Liu Dekai complaining to him about how Lu Zhengjun had beaten him for no reason in the fighting arena.
He had clearly warned Liu Dekai not to offend Lu Zhengjun and that it was best to avoid any contact with her.
