Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 306 Someone has to pay back this debt

Zhao Pengfei was a little scared, and his palms were already sweating.

This was his first time participating in such a high-level internal meeting.

It was also the first time that he interrupted and refuted a colonel in public.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Pengfei in turn, some with amusement, while others frowned.

The thin colonel, who was interrupted for no reason, looked obviously annoyed.

He seemed to have not expected that a small lieutenant would dare to question his point of view.

But before he could scold him, Ge Hongbin waved his hand and asked Zhao Pengfei to continue.

Zhao Pengfei swallowed and was so nervous that he couldn't open his mouth.

Wei Shanhe and Lu Chong gave him an encouraging look, which calmed his uneasy heart.

Zhao Pengfei took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "First of all, I want to say one thing, Qin Feng was not promoted by chance because of his meritorious service."

"Although his military service was short, his convictions and loyalty to his country far surpassed those of most people."

"Qin Feng isn't a special forces soldier, but he's helped the police solve major cases time and time again! He certainly hasn't attended military school, but he's been able to help us develop tactics and lead us to victory time and time again!"

He looked at the colonel and said, "Sir, I don't know what achievements or contributions you have made."

"But I know clearly that every achievement of Qin Feng was earned by escaping death and paying with his life!"

With a bang! The thin colonel slapped the armrest and pointed at him angrily.

"How dare you! Is this how you talk to your superiors, huh?"

"Lü Chong, this is the soldier your division brought up. Does he have any sense of superiority or inferiority?"

"Sorry." Lu Chong smiled and said, "My soldiers are all straightforward and like to tell the truth."

Wei Shanhe also said coldly: "Commander Qian, why are you still anxious? My people are just discussing the matter at hand. Don't get excited, don't get excited."

The thin colonel was so angry that his face turned red, but facing Wei Shanhe's attack, he dared not say anything and could only look at Commander Li beside him.

Commander Li snorted coldly, then said, "I've said it before, merits are merits, faults are faults, and merits and faults cannot be offset."

"Did Qin Feng report this to anyone? Even if his intentions were good, it was still an unauthorized action!"

"If he were captured by the enemy during the operation and tortured severely, wouldn't that put us in a passive position?"

Wei Shanhe raised his eyebrows. "That kid's cleverness is far beyond your imagination. If he wants to run, I believe no one will be able to catch him. The special forces have a say in this."

"Besides, why do you always focus on the worst-case scenario? What if he brings us a positive impact far beyond our expectations?"

Commander Li chuckled coldly, "No matter how strong an individual's abilities are, they are limited. Even a special forces sharpshooter needs teamwork when on a mission."

"What's the matter? Do you really expect that Qin Feng alone can accomplish something earth-shattering?"

"Or, in other words, being able to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, snap..."

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and continued: "Stop dreaming, this is not realistic at all!"

Wei Shanhe retorted, "How do you know it's unrealistic? You don't even dare to think about it. No wonder you were such a coward before, letting others ride on your necks and poop and piss on you!"

"You're talking nonsense, Wei Shanhe, I'm telling you, don't go too far!"

"Why, do you still want to practice with me in front of the leader?"

"Let's practice! If you're brave enough, let's set up our stance and go to the Zhurihe training ground for a fight!"

"Come on, who's afraid of who? Whoever loses is a grandson!"

Soon, the commanders of various divisions also joined in the war of words.

The scene was noisy and it was like everyone was talking at cross purposes.

Zhao Pengfei stood there at a loss, feeling numb.

He really broadened his horizons today.

It turns out that big bosses also have arguments and swear words during meetings.

"Quiet, quiet, quiet!"

Ge Hongbin had a cold face and shouted "Quiet" three times in a row before he calmed down the scene.

But from everyone's flushed faces and rolling eyes, it was obvious that they were still feeling unwilling to accept the outcome.

Logically speaking, Ge Hongbin should have taken the initiative to intervene and come up with a plan at this time.

But he didn't intend to make a decision. Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhao Pengfei again.

"Comrade Zhao Pengfei."

"To!"

Zhao Pengfei quickly straightened his chest.

Ge Hongbin said, "As far as I know, you are the squad leader of Qin Feng's recruit company, and you should be the person who knows him best. Now, I want to hear your opinion on this matter?"

Zhao Pengfei didn't expect that the leader would give him the right to express his opinions.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between actively grabbing the microphone and having the host hand you the microphone.

Under the gaze of many bigwigs, Zhao Pengfei sorted out his thoughts a little and spoke again.

"Commanders, I don't understand any profound principles, nor do I have much vision. I just want to speak a fair word from the perspective of an ordinary soldier."

"Okay." Ge Hongbin nodded and motioned him to continue.

"When we were in the recruit company, I asked him to be the deputy squad leader, but he refused because he refused to take responsibility."

Zhao Pengfei paused, then smiled and said, "Later, he began to understand and shoulder his responsibilities. In fact, Qin Feng has always felt very guilty about this matter."

Ge Hongbin asked, "What are you blaming yourself for?"

Zhao Pengfei said: "He blames himself and thinks he shouldn't have left. If he had refused the police's request for assistance, perhaps many things would not have happened, and perhaps his comrades and battalion commander would not have fallen."

Ge Hongbin's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.

"It was precisely because of this feeling of guilt," Zhao Pengfei continued, "that he decided to do something."

"It's a good thing to have ideas, but he never thought about what the consequences would be. A small act of willfulness may bring lifelong harm to his family!" Commander Li said sharply.

Zhao Pengfei shook his head. "Of course he's thought about it, but I think he's not thinking about himself at this moment, but about more people. If you can gain more at the lowest cost, why not do it?"

"When Qin Feng left, he told me this: If someone has to do something, he's willing to go through fire and water for the country, for the army, for the people, even if it means sacrificing his life..."

"From the moment he put on this military uniform, he put life and death aside. So in my eyes, Qin Feng is a hero. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end, he is a hero."

He slowly unzipped his pants and took off his slightly bulky camouflage uniform, revealing the colorful patches inside.

"Commander, you can say he acted on his own, you can say he violated discipline, but no one can shake Qin Feng's status and weight in the hearts of the people!"

Everyone's pupils contracted, and even Ge Hongbin subconsciously straightened his back.

The office was silent. Even those who had previously objected kept their mouths shut in front of this military uniform.

As Zhao Pengfei said, you can say that he violated discipline and that he acted on his own, but you can never shake his status and value in the hearts of the people.

In other words, everything Qin Feng did was also to protect the safety of the people.

Although the population in the western region is sparse, many people still live and work in peace and contentment.

No one wants to be crossed every now and then.

I don’t want to hear about the xx soldier who unfortunately died in the xx operation in the news again.

Zhao Pengfei stated the above views one by one, which moved everyone present.

Finally, he looked at Ge Hongbin and said solemnly: "Commander, based on my understanding of Qin Feng, he has another purpose for doing this."

"You say." Ge Hongbin nodded.

"His comrades and the battalion commander were attacked and their lives are still in danger. Someone has to pay this debt."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Ge Hongbin, whose face was gradually turning pale.

Because everyone present knew that Ge Zhiyong, the battalion commander of the Steel Knife Combined Battalion, was Ge Hongbin's only son.

At this moment, although many people have never seen Qin Feng, his image has become three-dimensional.

He is loyal and brave, serving his country and his people, and willing to risk his life for his comrades.

For such a person, the word "violation of discipline" seems a bit too weak.

Ge Hongbin smiled bitterly and shook his head, obviously he had guessed this early on.

Although he had only met Qin Feng once, he could tell that he was a good soldier who valued friendship.

"Let's adjourn the meeting. It's getting late. Let's all go back and rest..."

Ge Hongbin stood up first and left the office with heavy steps.

The others left one after another without saying anything more.

The meeting did not ultimately come to a conclusion, but it seemed like there was already a result.

......

At the same time, a figure walked in the vast darkness like a lone wolf.

He wrapped his head with a piece of black cloth, leaving only a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes exposed.

He took out a map from his pocket and pointed at the direction with his fingers.

Following the guidance of the compass, continue walking forward.

I don’t know how long I walked or how far I walked.

He didn't stop until he saw a little light in front of him.

He slowly took off the cloth on his head, revealing a face completely covered with camouflage paint.

"Just think of it as collecting some interest first..."
