The Iron Bones Hero Regiment belonged to the Mecha Infantry Team.

They had no reconnaissance companies under their jurisdiction.

However, there was a scout assigned to the police detective company.

The chief of staff’s words clearly indicated his desire to recruit Wang Ye directly into the reconnaissance platoon of the police reconnaissance company.

In normal circumstances, Wu Jianfeng wouldn’t dare to challenge the chief of staff, but this situation was different. He couldn’t hold back his anger.

The army was always in need of talented soldiers, and now that he was about to lose one, he couldn’t keep quiet.

“Why not? A good soldier should be a scout. Wang Ye is suitable,” the chief of staff calmly responded, not getting angry at Wu Jianfeng’s defiance of the rules.

“These are my soldiers!” Wu Jianfeng’s face turned red with anger, his voice muffled as he spoke. He didn’t even bother looking at the chief of staff, directing his words to the regiment commander.

“Haha… It’s only been a few days. What’s the harm in taking a few soldiers!” The regiment commander chuckled, seeing the situation from a different perspective. In his mind, it didn’t matter where Wang Ye went; they were all soldiers under his command. However, he couldn’t express this sentiment.

“Alright, it’s still early for the new recruits to leave the company. Let’s not discuss this further for now.”

The regiment commander ended the topic and shifted his attention to the walking director, instructing him to focus on the group’s ideology education work.

“I’ll prepare the plan right away,” the officer replied.

“Yes!” The regiment commander nodded, turning to the chief of staff. “During this period, all the departments in the regiment must completely change their working style. We’ve already given strict orders for that. Previously, we couldn’t enforce it properly, but now we have to take advantage of this situation to address it. We need to work with the main committee and eliminate these negative influences in the group, from their thoughts to their actions!”

“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind,” the chief of staff agreed. The regiment commander then turned his attention back to Wu Jianfeng. “Regarding Wang Ye’s case, the following regiments will give him credit. His decisiveness, agility, and courage deserve recognition. However, as he is still in the recruit company, this matter should not be publicized. When the time comes, you will arrange the merit process within the recruit company.”

“Yes, sir!” Wu Jianfeng straightened up and responded promptly, displaying a more serious attitude compared to the two leaders.

The regiment commander continued, “We must take this incident as a warning. Although it occurred in the second regiment, we should still take it seriously. I don’t want such a thing to happen in our regiment, especially among the new recruits. Their minds do not change quickly, and we cannot allow the veterans to influence them negatively.”

At this point, the regiment commander looked at Wu Jianfeng with a serious expression. “Company Commander Wu, the new recruits must lead their troops in a civilized manner and completely prevent such incidents from happening again. Can you do that?”

“Mission guaranteed to be completed!” Wu Jianfeng appeared serious on the surface, but deep down, he had reservations. It was not easy to carry out such a task, especially with the recruits who had not yet adapted to military life. Some of them were rebellious and unwilling to follow orders. It would be challenging to persuade them with just words, and not many class monitors had the patience to deal with such situations.

As Wu Jianfeng left the regiment headquarters, he sighed heavily. Wang Ye’s achievements were commendable, and even the division commander would remember his name, let alone the regiment. However, the challenges ahead for the team, the entire division, and himself would not be easy. A major reorganization was looming.

Thinking about it, Wu Jianfeng couldn’t help but complain inwardly. While it was easy to agree to certain principles, putting them into practice was a different story. It was especially true for the new recruits who had yet to develop a proper mindset. They were prone to throwing tantrums and resisting authority. Convincing such soldiers with mere words was not an easy task, and there were not many class monitors with the patience to deal with them.

As they walked out, Wang Ye felt content with the outcome. Even the division commander would remember his name after his recent achievements.

Furthermore, he had received a third-class merit. However, he understood that his team, and the entire division, would face challenges in the future due to the upcoming major reorganization.

“Indeed, this can be considered a righteous act. You should receive a third-class merit!” Ye Sanshi nodded in agreement on the training ground.

Wang Ye humbly responded, “I’m not entirely sure, but I appreciate the sentiment.”

On the way back, Wang Ye asked Wu Jianfeng about the military’s merit system. Wu Jianfeng explained that soldiers were typically praised verbally, commended, and then granted merits for exceptional actions. A good deed often resulted in a third-class merit.

Suddenly, a berating voice came from nearby, interrupting their conversation. Wang Ye and Ye Sanshi turned to see it was coming from Class Six.

The other recruits on the training ground noticed Wang Ye’s presence and glanced in their direction. Class Five was fine, and Ye Sanshi dismissed them. However, the other classes were still training. Despite their initial disappointment, Wang Ye’s recent accomplishment made them regretful that it wasn’t their own soldiers in the spotlight.

In this situation, the recruits of other classes, who were training nearby, resorted to scolding as a means to deal with their frustrations.

“Look at Wang Ye. He’s as thin as a rail, yet he made a significant contribution in just half a month. And what about you? You can’t even stand properly in military posture. Some of you still need to think about which side is left when instructed to turn left. The difference is clear! Are you still not convinced?” the berating voice from Class Six continued.

The recruits from Class Six were still unconvinced, but Wang Ye’s arrival had caught their attention. They began to reconsider their initial judgments.

“I know you all think Wang Ye got lucky, but even if you were in his shoes, would you dare to act in that situation? Could you come up with a method to save someone on the spot? Stop complaining; you’re just making me angry!”

Wang Ye looked at his brothers from Class Six and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

This Sixth Squad Leader.

“If you want to teach your own soldiers a lesson, then go ahead. Why are you targeting me and calling me thin as a rail? Well, I have indeed lost some weight. I’ve been in the army for half a month, but I haven’t gained much muscle yet.”

“Hehe, stop staring. He’s just jealous!” Ye Sanshi grinned.

At that moment, Wang Ye heard the insults from the other side, and he naturally heard them all.

It felt good.

That was how Ye Sanshi felt right now.

In the army, there was competition between classes, and such acts of merit were recognized. Wang Ye had achieved something, and as his recruit squad leader, Ye Sanshi felt proud.

Immediately, he spoke loudly to Wang Ye, “Come on, let’s go to the service center. Today, I’ll treat the whole class to Coke as a reward for your achievements!”

Although Ye Sanshi’s words seemed directed at Wang Ye, his voice was intentionally loud enough for everyone to hear. The second platoon leader from the other class definitely heard it.

For a moment, the second platoon leader turned his head, glaring at them.

“Haha! I’m taking a leave of absence. I’m a little thirsty. Besides, Wang Ye did well today. Don’t worry, I’ll buy it for you too. By the way, do you want me to bring a bottle for each of your classes? It’s my treat!” Ye Sanshi provocatively responded.

The second platoon leader glared at him and retorted, “Get lost!”

“Haha! Let’s go, let’s go…” Ye Sanshi pushed Wang Ye and, with a mischievous smile, they ran off amidst the laughter of the students from Class Five..
