Chapter 437: Cut Through the Chaos Quickly (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After learning about it now, he was thinking about Wang Ye’s intentions for this move.

“Alright, you can go now!” He waved to the messenger.

“Sure thing!” The messenger left with a cheerful smile.

In fact, he couldn’t wait to leave now.

He wanted to go and talk to his brothers in the second platoon about the current situation.

The scouts even helped the cooks wash dishcloths, aprons, and even underwear. It was quite a sight!

“Report!”

Not long after, Wang Ye appeared at the door of the second-floor platoon leader’s office.

Fu Wei looked up and said, “Come in!”

Wang Ye walked in.

“I had someone from the fourth platoon take care of your luggage and bag!” Fu Wei said as he looked at Wang Ye.

“Alright, thank you, Platoon Leader!”

Just coming back, Wang Ye didn’t even need to see that his backpack and luggage, which he left downstairs, had definitely been taken care of by someone.

Fu Wei spoke again, “The second platoon now has a total of twenty-four people. At the end of last year, we received new recruits from the entire regiment. I don’t plan to assign any new recruits to the second platoon this year. What do you think?”

“I’ll follow your orders, Platoon Leader!”

Wang Ye had just counted the number of people in the second platoon a while ago.

During dinner, there were exactly eight people at the table, which was not a small number.

Moreover, not having to bring in new recruits was actually the best situation.

Without new recruits, they could focus more on improving the combat effectiveness of the veteran soldiers.

“Alright!” Fu Wei nodded and continued, “You’re a legendary figure in our regiment. Although this is your first time leading the scouts, I believe you can handle it. So, I won’t interfere in the affairs and training of the second platoon. Just make sure to regularly create training outlines and report the work to me on time.” f(r)eenovelkiss

“Yes, thank you for your trust, Platoon Leader!” Wang Ye replied without hesitation.

He was worried that Fu Wei would arrange everything and restrict his command over the troops. The current arrangement was perfect and aligned with Wang Ye’s wishes because it allowed him more freedom to lead.

This way, he could truly showcase his abilities.

Otherwise, he would have to follow the unit’s orders and stick to the training outlines they provided, which would leave him with very little room to maneuver.

“The commander brought you here to improve the combat effectiveness of the second platoon, so naturally, you’ll have the most autonomy,” Fu Wei explained. “However, while we grant you autonomy, what I want is quite simple: improve the combat effectiveness.”

At this point, Fu Wei’s smile faded, and he fixed his gaze on Wang Ye like an eagle. “Wang Ye, can you do it?”

“I can!” Wang Ye responded loudly.

Wang Ye had only just begun to get to know the second platoon. But, for now, he had a favorable impression of them.

As long as they could follow orders without question, as for improving combat effectiveness? Wang Ye already had a specific plan in mind.

“Good, I’d like to see your work plan tomorrow to understand your leadership approach. Is that okay?” Fu Wei asked.

“No problem!” Wang Ye replied.

Fu Wei nodded. “In that case, I have nothing else to discuss. Do you have any requests or need support from the platoon?”

“Report, not at the moment!” Wang Ye replied.

For now, Wang Ye’s first step was to work on the psychological state of the scouts, and he didn’t need any additional support at the moment.

“Well, then go to work!”

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye saluted and then turned to leave.

As he stepped outside, he noticed someone waiting at the door.

“Platoon Leader!” Wang Ye smiled and addressed the person.

“Hehe, the new recruits platoon has been disbanded. You can call me Deputy Platoon Leader Jiang now!” Jiang Huai approached with a smile.

“Yes!” Wang Ye also changed his address with a smile, “Deputy Platoon Leader!”

“Come on, do you have any plans or business right now? If not, come over to my place for a bit!” Jiang Huai suggested. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝒎

Wang Ye replied, “I’ll have to make a trip to the cafeteria later, but I have some time now!” He smiled as he responded.

“Sounds good, let’s go!”

In the military, typically, only company-level units have their own offices. However, in field units, which are often located in remote areas, it’s not uncommon for deputy platoon leaders to have their own offices. These offices serve both as workplaces and sleeping quarters.

As they entered his office, Wang Ye noticed that he was the only one in the dormitory. Jiang Huai grabbed a cup and headed to the water cooler.

While filling the cup, he spoke with a smile, “Our company currently doesn’t have a deputy instructor, so this office is shared by me and the three platoon leaders for duty. When it’s your turn for duty, you can also come here to rest or work.”

“Great!” Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

During their conversation, Wang Ye took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, and then handed one to Jiang Huai after taking a sip of water.

Taking the cigarette, Jiang Huai continued to smile at Wang Ye. “You’re really good at keeping secrets. We had a farewell party last night, and you didn’t say a word. I didn’t expect that we’d be back together this morning!”

“Hehe, I wanted to give you a surprise!” Wang Ye replied.

After spending three months together in the new recruits platoon, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other.

Jiang Huai’s smile widened. “It’s indeed a surprise. You have no idea, when I came back this morning, the platoon leader and I were wondering why he was asking about you. I thought, why would someone from the fourth platoon be of interest to him? Haha, turns out, you’re here to join us!”

“Haha!” Wang Ye laughed.

Having a familiar face when arriving at the Criminal Investigation Company was quite nice. Of course, Wang Ye wasn’t the only familiar face; there was also Wan Baojiang in the third platoon. Moreover, Han Yi, who was part of the same batch of new recruits, had also joined the Criminal Investigation Company.

However, Wang Ye was aware that all the new recruits had gone to the third platoon now. The two of them continued chatting for a while.

Suddenly, Jiang Huai spoke with a serious tone, “The second platoon is actually not bad, and they have combat effectiveness. Right now, the mistakes in the previous two missions were mainly due to command errors. So, you can first get to know them better and then, based on the situation, slowly find ways to address any issues the second platoon might have.”

Jiang Huai didn’t know that even before entering the dormitory building, Wang Ye had already given the second platoon soldiers a stern message.

Of course, Wang Ye didn’t explicitly mention it; he just smiled and replied, “I have a general idea of their issues, and it does seem like there were command mistakes. But when it comes to a platoon, if the platoon leader makes a command mistake and the soldiers don’t voice any objections and instead carry out the wrong orders, it also indicates that they have their own problems.”

Typically, platoon leaders, when formulating tasks and operational plans, would consult with their subordinate squad leaders after creating the plan. So, it’s not possible for subordinate soldiers to entirely shirk responsibility.

“That… is true. However, you’ve just arrived, so you should pay attention to building a rapport first. This place is not like the new recruits platoon.”

“Hehe, thank you for the reminder, Deputy Platoon Leader. I understand,” Wang Ye replied without elaborating further.

Building rapport and taking it slowly? He didn’t have that kind of time. In a little while, he would be heading to the military academy, and he had to cut through the chaos quickly….
