Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1193: Troops undetermined, no suitable location, no funds available.

Ge Hongbin laughed, and Qin Feng laughed too.

The two people were like two foxes, one old and one young.

They each know what the other is thinking and what the other wants.

Ge Hongbin put down his teacup and remarked, "Drinking tea is still not as comfortable as drinking coffee; it's not bitter enough."

Qin Feng asked curiously, "So, the commander likes to drink coffee because it's bitter enough?"

"Bitter, fragrant, mellow; but the key point is still bitter."

Ge Hongbin admitted that he worked too hard in his early years, often only sleeping three or four hours a day.

At times like this, drinking strong tea alone is not enough, so I started drinking coffee instead.

A large amount of caffeine can force the body to keep going and complete the high-intensity work every day.

Over time, you get used to it.

Qin Feng could understand the older generation of soldiers' dedication to their work and their spirit of hard work.

It is precisely because of veterans like Ge Hongbin who work tirelessly day and night that the national defense cause has become a large enough umbrella to shelter the whole country from the wind and rain.

"Let's get down to business."

Ge Hongbin said, "The punishment for the combined arms brigade has been taken over by Lao Wei. The training plan will be adjusted according to the one you submitted before, with almost no major changes."

"Now we'll leave it to time to see if the combined arms brigade can get back on its feet and start running again after experiencing a major setback."

"If the ideal state cannot be achieved, then we can only retreat to the second line, and the outstanding units will be picked out and reassigned to other units to enhance our strength."

Although Qin Feng was not involved in the punishment routine, it was roughly as he expected.

If they eat too much, eat too well, or think too much, then let them go hungry.

As for outstanding units like the Steel Knife Battalion and the Special Operations Company, they need extra support.

At this point, removing it and placing it in other units can quickly boost the strength of more units.

While it's not as tragic as being disbanded, a combined arms brigade that loses its core is unlikely to amount to much.

The military has its own ecosystem. If a beast is not fierce enough, it will either starve to death or be eaten by a more ferocious beast. This is called survival of the fittest.

Qin Feng: "Pressure is the driving force. I believe that Lü Chong will soon deliver a satisfactory result."

Ge Hongbin nodded: "I hope so."

After finishing the first matter, he moved on to the second: "The theater command is interested in creating a brand-new combined arms force, under the direct command of headquarters. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Qin Feng was stunned: "What do you mean, do I have any ideas?"

Ge Hongbin smiled: "What I wanted to ask is, do you want to become the commander of this new unit?"

"Do not want to."

"why?"

Ge Hongbin was quite surprised. He had thought that Qin Feng would say yes without hesitation, given his personality.

Then he said, "A soldier who can't be a commander is not a good soldier."

But the reason Qin Feng gave was indeed unexpected.

"Because it is very difficult, and there is a high probability that the personnel are not yet determined, there is no venue, and there is no funding at the moment."

"Hahahahaha..."

Ge Hongbin slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "You little rascal, you're really shrewd. You figured out that this kind of good thing wouldn't just fall from the sky, didn't you?"

Qin Feng frankly stated, "Even if this team is actually formed, the final result will most likely be a competitive selection process, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. Moreover, it's just a concept, so I'm not getting involved at the moment."

"No, you have to get involved. Without your involvement, it will be very difficult to form this team."

"What?"

"Because we need a large sum of money, and you can help us get it; whether it's begging from military academies, seeking sponsorship from Long Zhenguo in the Northwest, or..."

Ge Hongbin's smile was subtle, but his mouth uttered two words.

farm.

Qin Feng rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

So, Ge Hongbin was just making empty promises, waiting for me to cash them?

Qin Feng shook his head: "Chief, you overestimate me. I don't have that much face, nor can I afford to spend that much money."

Ge Hongbin poured him some tea: "I didn't say you had to pay for everything. Take as much as you can. This will help ease the pressure on the war zone. The situation is tense right now, and funding is being cut every year, making it difficult to advance many projects."

"We originally planned to report the results of this pilot project to our superiors as soon as possible so that we could apply for more funding, but now it seems that this may be a bit difficult."

"Because the Southeast Theater Command has already completed the pilot mission ahead of us and has received praise from the headquarters leaders."

In the military, everything is about competition; grassroots units have to fight for the rotating red flag.

Mid-level combat units also have to fight for weapons, equipment, and high-tech gear.

Between war zones, the competition is far too numerous to count.

The combined arms brigade's performance was significantly lagging behind, which made it impossible for Ge Hongbin and others to speak up to their superiors.

Ge Hongbin continued to paint a picture: "Our idea for this brand-new combined arms unit is that it should be more comprehensive than any existing combined arms unit, and it should also bring together the best teams and top talents from different branches of the armed forces."

"With integrated sea, land, and air operations, we'll be a force to be reckoned with, no matter where we deploy us!"

"Of course, I'm just mentioning it to you for now. We'll have to see how the combined arms brigade performs in three months."

Qin Feng nodded; it didn't sound like they were about to start construction immediately.

After all, there are far too many things to invest in and consider when forming a completely new unit.

Just like starting a business, if you fail, you'll end up losing everything.

Ge Hongbin then began to discuss the third matter: "You can keep the matter of forming a completely new unit to yourself, but now I have a new task to assign you."

"What mission?"

"Crack down on Lei Bao to prepare for the upcoming National Special Forces Competition."

Qin Feng smiled; he knew his superiors were going to take action against Lei Bao.

But unexpectedly, the combined arms brigade had just been beaten, and then it was Lei Bao's turn.

Ge Hongbin said, "Regarding the assessment a week ago, Lei Bao's performance can only be described as mediocre. It's okay against regular units, but it immediately falters when it encounters elite troops with even a little bit of strength. This is not what we want."

"If that's all there is to it, then what reason does the war zone have to spend so much money on it? Why not just set up a few reconnaissance battalions?"

"Therefore, the focus of our work going forward is to train Lei Bao relentlessly until they break through this bottleneck."

"Now that this task is being assigned to you, you should have been mentally prepared for it, right?"

"Yes."

Qin Feng stated frankly that he had also roughly outlined the training plan for the Thunder Leopard Special Forces.

Take it back to headquarters for a look, get it stamped, and it can be officially implemented.

Ge Hongbin trusted Qin Feng and said he would send the message to Qin Feng's email later via the local area network.

"Something interesting to mention is that Kevin Lei is quite cunning; he used his connections to get a role in a film crew."

"They said they would actively cooperate to produce a good military-themed film or television work to promote recruitment to the troops and special forces."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng chuckled: "Is he afraid that one day he'll suddenly be surrounded by the tanks and planes of a combined arms brigade?"

Ge Hongbin nodded: "Lei Kaiwen is still very clever; he even knows how to use ordinary people and the film crew as shields."

Qin Feng grinned: "It's no use. Even if he brings the Heavenly King himself, we'll still surround him!"

Ge Hongbin laughed heartily: "That's exactly what I was thinking too, hahaha..."

......

At the same time, Lei Kaiwen, who was at the Lei Bao special training base, suddenly shivered and felt inexplicably cold all over.
