Chapter 787: Insufficient Firepower

"Show me the assessment situation of the grand competition."

"Oh, right, and the reorganization and compilation situation of the personnel in training, as well as the phased assessment documents, show me those too."

……

The reorganization and compilation work of the newly established sequence of the Garrison District—the Third Garrison Regiment—had been going on for nearly a month, and the relevant cadre training work had also been going on for almost a month.

According to the cadres of the Garrison District's Resident Reform Office, the results were significant, efficient, and powerful.

This had to do with the formation foundation of the Third Garrison Regiment. Based on the mission attributes of the Third Garrison Regiment and the challenges it would face in the future, the merger of the 816th Regiment, which was experienced in urban defense and assault, and the Public Security Brigade, which had done excellent work in security and duty, could be considered a strong combination.

At the same time, one must look at the quality of the management cadres of the two merged units and the reorganized Third Garrison Regiment; this was an important standard for the cadres of the Resident Reform Office to highly recognize the completion of the Third Garrison Regiment's reorganization and compilation work.

From the regiment commander to the lowest level squad and platoon leaders, the proportion of university degrees in the management sequence of the Third Regiment was second to none in the entire Garrison District.

Next was the high school degree, and the proportion of junior high school degrees in the entire team, as well as the cultural quality proportion in the entire Garrison District, were all among the best.

High-quality regiment management personnel matched with high-quality front-line command and execution personnel made the reorganization and compilation work unusually smooth.

Especially in ideological and political education, as well as "Great Study," compared to the ordinary front-line execution personnel who only had primary school culture or could only reach the literacy standard, the reorganized Third Garrison Regiment saved the political education personnel of the Resident Reform Office a lot of trouble.

The important thing was that the original Public Security Brigade had a relatively rich and mature political education system, especially the political quality of the personnel in training was not much worse than the execution personnel of the original 816th Regiment.

The screening work for the personnel of the original 816th Regiment was carried out in an orderly manner. During this period, there were scenes of reluctance to part, but the iron camp and the flowing soldiers, where in the world is there a banquet that doesn't end.

A team of nearly three thousand people was cut in half directly. Those with low cultural quality, those whose combat ability or basic quality didn't meet the standards, and even those whose cultivation potential wasn't enough, were all in the elimination sequence.

Originally, Zhao Zhenhua and Wang Xiaoqin were responsible for the personnel screening work; both were political commissars and had cooperation experience.

But in the end, when Zhao Zhenhua communicated with Qi Yaowu, because there were too many arguments about who to keep and who not to keep, Li Xuewu finally came forward and gave a solution.

Wang Xiaoqin was responsible for the personnel screening work of the original 816th Regiment, and Zhao Zhenhua was responsible for the training and phased assessment work of the personnel in training of the original Public Security Brigade.

Qi Yaowu and Zhao Zhenhua both accepted this method. After all, there were only so many indicators, and their arguments were meaningless; it was better to think about how to settle the old soldiers who were eliminated.

Wang Xiaoqin had complained that Li Xuewu was just finding trouble for her, but Li Xuewu himself was also the First Deputy Political Commissar and took the initiative to take over part of the work, which made Wang Xiaoqin feel comfortable.

While completing the cadre training mission and completing the reorganization and compilation work, Li Xuewu had been really hard-working for the past month.

Although he rested on weekends, he finally understood that the weekend rest set by the cadres of the Resident Reform Office was completely used for them to do normal work, and there was no time to go home at all.

No need to adapt, by the second week, Li Xuewu and the others were already having headaches about the weekend.

It was still okay on weekdays, nothing more than listening to lectures, taking notes, writing article insights, etc.

If it reached the weekend, the phased report of reorganization and compilation, the update and configuration plan of weapons and equipment, the formulation and innovation of training outlines, and the appointment and adjustment of front-line cadres, all required his participation.

Li Xuewu didn't have time to look at the work of the Steel Rolling Factory even if it was transferred, and at most looked at the work briefing.

He knew what had happened in the Steel Rolling Factory this month, and he was also clear that the personnel structure of the Steel Rolling Factory had changed. He wasn't indifferent, or even cold, like those in the Steel Rolling Factory saw.

Li Xuewu had feelings for the Steel Rolling Factory and had personal ambitions. Since the order for the reorganization and compilation of the Public Security Brigade was issued, he had guaranteed to the leaders of the Steel Rolling Factory more than once that his work and development focus would definitely be in the Steel Rolling Factory.

Of course, for the past month, he didn't care about the Steel Rolling Factory's matters, nominally because he had training and work to do here, and another reason was that he didn't want to participate in Li Huai De's battle for the top.

Clearly knowing that this kind of time is cruel, dark, and a process of destroying an order to build an order, he didn't want this experience to become a stumbling block for his future.

Therefore, the establishment of the Third Garrison Regiment and the position he held in it would inevitably serve as powerful evidence when his work experience was examined in the future.

People in the game wouldn't discover that at such a critical time, Li Xuewu, and the relationship network represented by Li Xuewu, would subside and refuse to participate in this feast in the form of silence.

Even if many interests were sacrificed, they still didn't see anyone from Li Xuewu's line stand out to express or express anything.

They only cared about what they got, didn't care about what others got at all, and Li Xuewu, who got nothing, was even more out of their concern.

Getting nothing, Li Xuewu didn't feel sorry; this was exactly the goal set by him and Dong Wenxuan.

Dong Wenxuan thought that they had already gained a lot. This time Li Huai De's rise would inevitably balance interests and wouldn't let the forces of Dong Wenxuan and Li Xuewu be too large, so as to affect his management.

The truth that one cannot share wealth when the cunning rabbit dies and the hunting dog is cooked has existed since ancient times.

Yang Fengshan of the Steel Rolling Factory was determined to be in decline, the factory office line would be squeezed out, and the Party Group line was involved in the Red Flag Society, which was also the object of work.

Next, only Li Huai De's line and those cadres who leaned toward him would take over the management work of the Steel Rolling Factory.

It was not surprising that Cheng Kaiyuan quickly adapted to the current management system and pattern of the Steel Rolling Factory. After all, for him, outsiders looked at everyone as locals.

Regardless of who is in charge, the Steel Rolling Factory wouldn't be his turn to be the master in a short time, and following anyone was following, so he didn't care about the change of the leader.

Secondly, he was a cadre doing production management. Whether facing Yang Fengshan or Yang Yuansong, he only had the authority of execution and management. Now that he had the status of the Management Committee, his future would be broader.

Others basically thought the same. The higher-ups were vague, they were afraid of taking the wrong path, it didn't matter who took the first step, anyway, they didn't want to take the first step.

Following Li Huai De who took the first step, if it was wrong, the front would bear it, and they could also turn around.

But there were also those who didn't want to follow Li Huai De, such as Nie Chenglin.

In the past month, Nie Chenglin had expressed relatively sharp opinions on the relationship between production and service at meetings many times.

His purpose was also to create more and greater room for maneuver for Yang Fengshan.

But his personal strength was ultimately thin, Jing Yunong was silent, who would stand for Yang Fengshan with him?

Yang Yuansong now had a kind of remorse for eating his own bitter fruit. If he hadn't insisted on the balance policy, Li Huai De wouldn't have today, and Yang Fengshan wouldn't have fallen to this point.

The Steel Rolling Factory had so many changes and problems, he had to bear the main responsibility.

One management incompetence, one short-sighted, one low-level means, could determine that he wouldn't be able to stir up any big storms in the future.

Li Xuewu wasn't in a hurry to return to the Steel Rolling Factory, and even less wanted to face the proud Li Huai De too early.

There was no contradiction between the two, let alone a clear conflict of interest, so there was no need to let the other party feel that he was a threat, or that he affected his current mood.

The excitement was all theirs, Li Xuewu only felt that it wasn't noisy enough.

Although today was Sunday, Li Xuewu was still working, and Sha Qizhi also consciously worked overtime.

Originally, he didn't need to come, after all, he was a person from the Steel Rolling Factory, and it was different from the past here, the Third Garrison Regiment had specially equipped Li Xuewu with an office clerk.

But Sha Qizhi didn't want to be estranged from Li Xuewu, and even less wanted to deviate from Li Xuewu's work rhythm like he did when he went to the border last time.

The tacit understanding between the secretary and the leader in work all depended on the long time he served Li Xuewu and the work he handled. Once separated for a long time, this tacit understanding naturally dissipated.

The relationship between the secretary and the leader is like dating; distance doesn't create beauty, it only creates infidelity.

So Sha Qizhi often came here to help Li Xuewu organize materials, prepare documents, or bring the Steel Rolling Factory's work to report the situation.

The office clerk equipped for Li Xuewu by the Third Garrison Regiment was called Gao Guang, young, twenty years old, high school culture, and had relatively good writing ability in the regiment.

I don't know if Li Xuewu was born with the Sirius star, but the names of the people around him also carried murderous intent.

Sha (Kill) Qi (Abandon) Zhi, Gao (Engage) Guang...

Originally, Gao Guang thought that being an office clerk for the First Deputy Political Commissar and Deputy Regiment Commander, the main task should be writing materials.

Especially since the leader was participating in training, the learning insights and articles should all be his own work.

But very unexpectedly, Li Xuewu didn't use him to write these things, and didn't use the Sha secretary who came with him, he wrote them all by himself.

Of course, the leader is young, knowledgeable, and writing these things isn't effortless, but it takes time.

He couldn't understand why the leader didn't use him, but Sha Qizhi understood.

He had followed Li Xuewu for so long, and Li Xuewu had never used him to write materials, not even ghostwriting.

There might be many reasons, such as the leader's cautious personality, not liking to let others do it, afraid that they would carry personal opinions in the text.

Or the leader is relatively proud, looking down on their writing level, of course, this is also a fact.

Actually, the most real reason is that Li Xuewu had dealt with writing materials all his life, he had the energy, and also had the confidence to complete these works within precious time.

Furthermore, the process of writing materials is also a process of learning. Cadres cannot relax learning, and even less can relax themselves.

Some cadres, as their positions become higher, their posts become more important, the power in their hands becomes greater, and the temptations they face become more, not only do they not strengthen theoretical learning and improve Party spirit cultivation, but they think that materials are written by others, work is done by others, and life is managed by others, so they completely throw learning behind their heads.

As far as Li Xuewu knows, there are quite a few people in the club who have never carefully read a book completely since reaching his level.

This is a very dangerous behavior. Li Xuewu believes that the industry he is in is a high-risk industry, with too many temptations, too many dangers, and bad people among the masses.

It's not that Sha Qizhi didn't propose to help Li Xuewu, he himself is doing secretarial work, and writing materials for the leader is what should be done, it's his job.

But Li Xuewu told him: Now he is a leader, has a secretary, if everything is handed over to the secretary, then his autonomous learning consciousness will become worse.

Inertia is cultivated slowly like this, someone learns for him, someone works for him, his learning pressure is smaller, and he has time for eating, drinking, and playing.

But doing so, in subjective consciousness, will lack active learning motivation, and over time, he will be alienated from the organization in politics, incompatible with the organization in thought, and without awe, making mistakes is just a matter of time.

Li Xuewu has experienced too many such lessons, seen too many such lives, and learned countless confessions, his brain is always clear.

He can accept the help of the secretary, can accept the service of others, go out with a car, and have water to drink when entering the door.

He knows that someone has brewed tea for him early every day before he goes to work, cleaned up the hygiene, and neatly placed the documents to be processed on the table.

However, the premise of his accepting these services is that everything is for better carrying out work, and for better serving the people.

When working in the office, time is very tight. He has to read documents, learn documents, listen to and meet people who ask for instructions and report work, and also issue various orders.

Sometimes outside the office, he also has to complete necessary social work, go to the club, and visit various relationships.

But these cannot become excuses for him to relax himself and relax learning. Once he enters the comfort zone, he will live in a regular, mechanical, and numb appearance.

Who doesn't like enjoyment, who doesn't like vanity, who doesn't want to be glorious and decent.

These are all human nature, can be possessed, but the premise is that they cannot cross the boundary and step on the line.

The ideological defense line is not relaxed, no one can corrode him, he wants what he wants, and will realize it through himself.

What others send him, or the help they take the initiative to provide, he feels there are hooks inside.

Sometimes Sha Qizhi is also very helpless. The leader he follows looks very cordial, capable, serious and responsible in work, and has personal charm.

However, in terms of trust, he feels he is a failure. Li Xuewu has never given him full trust.

Of course, Sha Qizhi doesn't feel lost, just a bit discouraged, after all, Li Xuewu doesn't trust him, and doesn't trust others either.

Watching Gao Guang greet him with a smile, but playing tricks in the open and secret, trying hard to gain the leader's trust.

Hehe, Sha Qizhi drooped his eyelids and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Little bitch, your name is destined to be failure!

I have followed him for so long, sold my strength with all my heart, have you seen him let me write a material? Signed a document for him once?

Li Xuewu's office is still in the original position, the difference is that the neighbor was replaced by Qi Yaowu.

The office adjustment plan hosted by Wang Xiaoqin and Zhao Zhenhua, after seeking the opinions of all decision-makers of the Third Garrison Regiment including Li Xuewu, decided to place the regiment leaders' office in the courtyard here.

The three-entry courtyard, the middle courtyard became the office venue for the seven people of the Third Garrison Regiment, and the front and back courtyards became the venue for the Third Garrison Regiment's organ office.

Other organ personnel were uniformly moved to the building side, forming a relatively complete and systematic layout.

The nature of organ office personnel and the nature of leader office are different after all. The organ is mainly based on text and execution, and the management layer is mainly based on decision-making and meetings, and they are also different in the applicability of the venue and office environment.

Now the Third Garrison Regiment has a relatively large place, and there is a lot of room for adjustment, so it is natural to place the management layer in a relatively suitable position.

The courtyard here is an old building, but the houses have been renovated, and it is facing the main entrance, which has a relatively representative meaning.

Li Xuewu's office didn't move, just replaced the doorplate matching his status along with the sign at the main entrance.

Other office furniture and layout were still the original appearance, with an extra set of new board green on the coat rack at the door.

"Leader, the factory office wants to confirm the end time of your training with you, as well as the time you go to work."

Sha Qizhi filled some hot water into Li Xuewu's teacup, reporting the work of the Steel Rolling Factory here.

Li Xuewu nodded, but his eyes were still looking at the document in his hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he first said to Gao Guang: "See which leaders are at home."

As he spoke, he glanced at the time on his hand and explained: "Ten o'clock in the morning, let's have a meeting."

"Yes."

Gao Guang responded and walked out, preparing for the meeting.

Putting down the document in his hand, Li Xuewu looked at Sha Qizhi and asked: "Are the training classes organized by the Security Division due?"

"It's like this."

Sha Qizhi stood in front of the office desk and reported: "The Security Division organ personnel training class, the Security Special Service training class, the dual plan training class, and all training classes will complete the training mission on Monday."

As he spoke, he took out several documents from the document bag he brought and handed them to Li Xuewu. This was what he brought back when he represented Li Xuewu to go up the mountain for inspection.

Li Xuewu took it and read it. This included not only the personnel in training belonging to the Security Division, but also the training personnel of the club's Security Section, which could be said to be a bumper harvest.

The seeds planted three months ago were finally about to harvest fruits.

The assessment results of the 1500 people in the Public Security Brigade he just read were here, and he also saw the briefing of this part in Sha Qizhi's place.

Li Xuewu arranged for Gao Guang to notify the meeting, which was also to determine the final list of reorganization and compilation personnel.

Now looking at the training classes of the Steel Rolling Factory here, Li Xuewu also attaches great importance to them.

This period of training classes not only brought excellent management and execution personnel to the Security Division, but also exercised their abilities, tempered the quality of personnel, and raised the work ability of the Security Division to a higher level.

The graduation of dual plan personnel will inevitably hit the brand of the training ground, and will also bring a steady stream of training orders.

Also brought are procurement orders for fire-fighting equipment and special vehicles, which are the source of funds for the Security Division.

Li Xuewu now wants to see the training results of all training classes, and also set the participation time for the next batch of training classes.

The training time for all training classes is three months, Li Xuewu didn't think much, and signed on the training plan declared by Wei Tong.

Sha Qizhi put away the documents and asked for instructions: "Then... can you attend the graduation ceremony held on the mountain on Monday?"

"This won't do, no time."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Please ask Comrade Zihong to preside over it."

As he spoke, he looked at the document in his hand and said: "How is the matter of applying for a training base that you were asked to handle?"

"The progress of this work is relatively slow."

Sha Qizhi reported: "Deputy Division Chief Xiao has been pushing this application, but the reason for the slow work progress is not on our side, but on the side of Civil Affairs and Garrison."

What Li Xuewu asked about was an application he signed last week, which was to apply to the Industrial Committee for a formal safety production training base.

The current training ground is only a unit owned by the Security Division of the Steel Rolling Factory. Regardless of its scale or the number of joint units, it is only an internal training unit.

What Li Xuewu wants is to promote the regularization and openness of the Red Star Training Ground. The training ground already has such a foundation.

In the future, the training ground should develop toward safety and production safety training bases, with security training, fire-fighting training, and other business-type training as the main work focus.

What development can there be by grasping militia training? Even if it becomes a training base for the Third Garrison Regiment, what economic benefits can it bring?

But security and fire-fighting business training are different. In the future, there will be a steady stream of training needs, and there is the most advanced security training team here, the original team of the dual plan, and professional training facilities.

Collecting money to engage in training is much harder than spending money to engage in training.

How big is Beijing, not all units are forming special fire-fighting teams now, this is a blue ocean market, it must be cultivated slowly.

But as long as a fire-fighting team is formed, Li Xuewu wants everyone to think of the Red Star Training Ground first.

Let the fire-fighting management personnel who go out from here become the backbone, propaganda models, and let the training ground sell more fire-fighting equipment.

Current fire-fighting belongs to Civil Affairs, and security training belongs to Garrison, so these two units don't recognize it, and the training ground cannot hang a sign to recruit students from the outside.

Li Xuewu knows that this kind of work still has to be done by him, nodded to indicate he knew.

Sha Qizhi brought him not only the work weekly report of the Steel Rolling Factory this week, but also the real-time dynamics, and the notice issued this morning.

Li Xuewu knows that after this notice comes down, it will become an anchor point, and also a cornerstone, stabilizing all production units, or the situation of various factories.

The first storm has passed, and with this document, there will be no big waves in the factory in the future.

So, Li Xuewu knocked on the desktop and said to Sha Qizhi: "Monday, I will officially go to work on Monday."

"The reorganization and compilation work has entered the final stage."

Li Xuewu looked at the people at the conference table and said: "I believe everyone has sufficient opinions and understanding of this work."

As he spoke, he gestured to the document that the office clerk had prepared long ago and said: "Whether it is the elimination assessment of the original 816th Regiment or the training assessment of the personnel in training of the original Public Security Brigade, there are already results."

"This doesn't need to be discussed anymore."

Qi Yaowu said: "Just handle it according to the results; if I see the personnel list, I will be unable to help but keep people again."

Zhao Zhenhua smiled bitterly helplessly. His argument with Qi Yaowu about keeping people wasn't a personal contradiction. He also agreed with this point of view; seeing his old subordinates, he always wanted to keep them.

Li Xuewu knocked on the list at hand and said: "The reorganization and compilation plan has been released, and it will be handed over to everyone for signature confirmation later. This is the final plan."

"What I want to say is how the eliminated people should be handled."

As he spoke, he picked up another list and placed it at hand. He didn't open it to look, but said to Wang Xiaoqin: "There are seventeen people thrown down from the personnel in training of the original Public Security Brigade. You look at the arrangement, whether it is returned, or transferred to other units, have a beginning and an end."

After speaking, he handed the list to Wang Xiaoqin opposite, and then picked up another document and said: "There are 1432 people thrown down from the original 816th Regiment, including 117 cadres."

"Let's discuss this part, see how it should be handled."

Li Xuewu's question was very direct. They discussed this problem last month, but because the reorganization and compilation work was busy, this problem was shelved.

Today, the roster of the Third Garrison Regiment must be set, so the settlement problem of these eliminated people must be prepared.

Qi Yaowu gathered the few hairs on his forehead, stubbornly thinking that he was still a handsome guy with sufficient hair, but in fact, his forehead was already very bald.

"Let's talk about diversion first."

As he spoke, he gestured to Zhao Zhenhua and said: "How is the contact with other teams in the Garrison District?"

"Not very ideal."

Zhao Zhenhua frowned and opened a document folder at hand, looked at it, and then said: "The entire Garrison District can receive less than two hundred people, and this is still the result of coordinating relationships."

"Got it, I will do some work on this later."

Qi Yaowu frowned and scanned everyone at the office desk. This matter was really difficult to handle.

Only Li Xuewu could solve this problem in this office. Zhao Zhenhua's relationship overlapped with his own. He couldn't handle it, and it was difficult for him to handle it either.

In terms of local relationships, it still depends on Li Xuewu, after all, he is a local in Beijing and has relationships with many factories.

From the joint units of the Red Star Training Ground, as well as the food factory and traditional Chinese medicine research institute they worked together to engage in, one can see Li Xuewu's ability.

This is also the reason why he tried his best to ask the Garrison side to receive Li Xuewu's transfer, and even took the initiative to help coordinate the problem of Li Xuewu having two positions.

Li Xuewu saw him looking at himself, and also knew that this matter still had to fall on his own shoulders.

Of course, he had long been eyeing these people, but he couldn't be too active, otherwise there would be some suspicion.

Furthermore, the settlement direction he provided for these people was also very special, and he had to let Qi Yaowu and the others agree, otherwise it would be difficult to avoid having a knot in each other's hearts in the future.

"It's very difficult~"

Li Xuewu frowned and extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, saying: "More than 1400 people, even if two hundred can be diverted, there will still be more than 1200 people left. This is a big problem!"

"Didn't you say..."

Qi Yaowu looked at Li Xuewu and asked softly: "The matter you told me last time...?"

"I know, but think about it, how to settle so many people."

Li Xuewu knocked on the desktop, but didn't keep it secret anymore, saying in a normal voice: "The Steel Rolling Factory is preparing to acquire a shipyard in Steel City, and has also established an industrial production base locally in Steel City."

"This..."

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, Zhao Zhenhua and the others all had their eyes brightened. They didn't have such good settlement channels.

According to policy, there are no demobilization indicators this year, which means no new recruits and no demobilization.

But now the 816th Regiment has entered 1500 new recruits, so 1500 old soldiers must be demobilized.

This is stuck, and no one has the ability to settle so many people at once.

If it were normal, demobilized is demobilized, it has nothing to do with Qi Yaowu, Zhao Zhenhua, and it has nothing to do with Li Xuewu.

However, this reorganization and compilation is the goal promoted by Qi Yaowu and Li Xuewu together, and it is Qi Yaowu who wants to integrate into the Garrison District, he wants to stay here.

Li Xuewu also intends to borrow his hand to bring this team into the army for training.

In the future, it is not easy for him to say anything to Qi Yaowu, but he firmly believes that as long as he develops according to the established goals, he can bring the Public Security Brigade in, and he can bring it back.

The key is that this period does not allow the existence of the Public Security Brigade establishment. Can it still be his own after leaving his hands?

Therefore, this is the result of the joint efforts of many parties, and it only affects the lives of those 1400 people.

Qi Yaowu and Li Xuewu are not soft-hearted, womanly characters, but Li Xuewu has heart, Qi Yaowu has righteousness, which promoted today's meeting.

"Of course, regardless of the shipyard or the production base, there are requirements for basic quality of personnel."

Li Xuewu looked at everyone and said: "Everyone understands in their hearts that those who can carry guns are not necessarily suitable for operating machines. This cannot be forced."

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yaowu and said: "It's not that I break my promise, this matter really needs to be considered seriously."

"Yes, I understand."

Qi Yaowu understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words. He couldn't just rely on what Li Xuewu had told him and be sure that Li Xuewu must take over this task.

But this matter must give all parties a satisfactory answer, and the important thing is that he must be worthy of those thousand-plus people.

For the past half year, the old foundation of the 816th Regiment has been working hard and complaining without complaint following him to open up wasteland. He has today, which is also the result of everyone's joint efforts.

To say that he really just let these people go, he really couldn't bear it.

Li Xuewu watched him in a dilemma for a while, and then said: "Let me talk about what can be settled first."

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xuewu opened a document, looked at it while saying: "The Steel Rolling Factory has communication radios in three regions, including the mountain, which can receive people with telecommunication capabilities, no matter how many."

"That's almost twenty people."

Zhao Zhenhua had the elimination list in his hand, and he knew exactly what kind of person and what ability they had.

Li Xuewu glanced at him and continued: "The waste recycling station can settle ten people in Beijing...".

"This..."

Zhao Zhenhua hesitated, glanced at Qi Yaowu, and seeing the other party signal him not to speak, he held back the words in his mouth.

Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked: "Why, think it's too few?"

After finishing, he didn't wait for his answer and continued to read: "The East Wind Club can receive twenty people, and the East Wind Construction Cooperative can receive fifty people, but requires construction capabilities."

"The recycling station has a branch station in Jicheng, which can receive twenty people, preferably from the Northeast. The Steel City shipyard can receive one hundred people, and the production base can receive one hundred people."

"The Steel Rolling Factory has cooperated with the Beijing Railway Station to have a freight yard, needing sixty drivers."

Li Xuewu knocked on the document in his hand and said: "Normal channels can only settle so many people."

"How many is this?"

Zhao Zhenhua looked at the notebook in his hand, frowned and said: "Three hundred and eighty people?"

"I have tried my best."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "You may also know that this year's employment situation is really tight. Many junior and senior high school graduates are waiting for job assignments. There are really not many jobs suitable for us."

"Not few."

Wang Xiaoqin smiled bitterly and scratched her forehead, saying: "At least I can't get these three hundred-plus jobs."

"Yes."

Shen Fang nodded and said: "Job positions in Beijing are really hard to get, this is real money."

"I understand."

Qi Yaowu nodded, and then looked at Li Xuewu, asking the question he left behind: "Normal channels are these, what about unconventional channels?"

Hearing Qi Yaowu ask this, Zhao Zhenhua also reacted, Li Xuewu just said so.

And Li Xuewu also pursed his lips, and said in a dilemma: "The reason why the Steel Rolling Factory wants to acquire the shipyard is for maritime shipping tasks. Now the East Wind Shipping, which undertakes the maritime shipping tasks of the Steel Rolling Factory, needs people."

"Another East Wind...?"

Zhang Chenggong asked softly, his eyes looking at Zhao Zhenhua, but Zhao Zhenhua narrowed his eyes and signaled him.

What's so strange about this? You are called Zhang Chenggong, so you don't allow others to be called that?

Now we are studying the problem of personnel settlement, not studying the relationship between this East Wind and that East Wind.

Zhao Zhenhua didn't care if there was a relationship between these East Winds; as long as personnel could be settled, it didn't matter if they were all called East Wind.

"How many are needed?"

Zhao Zhenhua looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Can the rest be settled?"

"Hehe~"

Before Li Xuewu could answer, Qi Yaowu smiled bitterly, he also knew that his old partner was anxious, but nine hundred people couldn't be settled just by saying so.

Li Xuewu meant the same thing, helplessly saying: "One or two hundred people, but East Wind Shipping needs port personnel in Steel City, Tianjin, Yuezhou, and Hong Kong, which can receive a few hundred more."

"In this way!"

Qi Yaowu saw that Li Xuewu was vague, knocked on the table, looked at Zhao Zhenhua and said: "First screen out those with prerequisites and ask them if they are willing."

"Then ask those without prerequisites, see who wants to go where, and as for the rest who want to return to their hometowns, or have conditions for settlement at home, don't worry about this."

He could also see Li Xuewu's sincerity, patching together, finding all the units he could think of and couldn't think of.

Especially

Working at sea is a foreign novelty in this era; it looks fancy, but in reality, everyone knows what it's really about.

Some people are willing to take risks to earn this money, while others are not, only wanting to live a stable life.

This is, of course, normal. Those who are phased out are discharged; if they have placement below, they are lucky, but for those without placement who want to find a job, this is also a path.

With three hundred and eighty fixed receiving positions and three or four hundred unconventional job posts, Li Xuewu solved the problem that was giving them a headache all by himself.

They must allow these fourteen hundred-plus people to choose their own future paths; they cannot force tasks upon them, as they are facing another choice in life.

"Next, we will proceed to the second agenda item: establishment, weapon configuration, and training direction."

Qi Yaowu looked at the group and said, "According to the reorganization plan, the Third Garrison Regiment will have six battalions under its jurisdiction: the First Battalion will be the Reconnaissance Battalion, the Second Battalion will be the Fire Support Battalion, the Third Battalion..."

Li Xuewu was actually very familiar with these establishments; the 816th Regiment was originally a reinforced regiment.

Its numbers exceeded twenty-five hundred, and it had both artillery and gas-guzzlers.

He had seen the 816th Regiment's firepower configuration on the mountain; it was a typical setup for someone with "firepower insufficiency phobia."

The 816th Regiment originally had five Type-A battalions, not based on a three-three system, but a five-five system.

That is to say, at the battalion level, it would have three infantry companies, one machine gun company, and one artillery company.

The artillery company even had two mortar platoons and one recoilless rifle platoon.

Each mortar platoon had three artillery squads, totaling six 82mm mortars; concentrating the mortars was advantageous for the battalion commander to coordinate firepower.

The recoilless rifle platoon was organized with four artillery squads, totaling four recoilless rifles.

One regiment had five battalions, and there were also reconnaissance, fire support, anti-aircraft, and chemical defense battalions.

The fire support battalion had even more heavy firepower, such as howitzers, rocket launchers, etc., and its combat effectiveness was truly astonishing.

Of course, this kind of heavy firepower was very normal in this era, because there were enemies all around.

Li Xuewu knew the pulse of the era's development; since it had been transferred to the management of the Garrison District, the Third Garrison Regiment's biggest task remained urban defense.

Placing Pa Zile in the First Battalion was also something Li Xuewu had prepared for in advance; in the future, when cooperating with the sub-bureaus and local authorities, he would still need to draw people from the First Battalion.

He couldn't have the artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft battalion go into the city to execute tasks, could he~

After the meeting concluded, Qi Yaowu asked Li Xuewu when he would have time to meet the cadres who had been phased out; if there were suitable ones, they could choose to be placed.

Li Xuewu smiled and agreed; as long as they were transferred cadres and they were willing to go, he would put in a word and take them all.

This was impossible; it wasn't that Li Xuewu wasn't willing, but that at this time, many cadres were thinking of returning to their hometowns for placement—it was close to home, and there were good jobs, so why bother struggling outside?

Even for those who were discharged, Li Xuewu didn't receive them directly here, but wanted to let them go home first.

One reason was to visit relatives, and the second was to see the current situation in their hometowns and see if they were suitable for staying home to develop.

With over twelve hundred people, there were over twelve hundred ideas; he could provide job positions, but he also had to use people who would listen.

Without experiencing bitterness, where would the sweetness come from? He had to let them go home and recognize the facts before they could recognize themselves in the work that followed.

Just like the joke he had heard before: there was a girl who was mysteriously confident, and when she went on blind dates, she thought too highly of herself, looking down on this one and that one.

Later, someone suggested she go interview at a KTV where the tips were fifteen hundred yuan, to see if she could get the job.

As a result, she really went, but was rejected as soon as she interviewed, the reason being that her looks weren't good enough and she was over 25 years old.

After returning from the interview, she was able to accept it when her family arranged blind dates for her again.

Because she finally knew that those men she looked down on could find such young and beautiful girls to accompany them for just fifteen hundred... her mindset improved a lot.
