Deputy Director Yu Yanru is indeed bitter. It seems that the resentment has been accumulated for more than a day or two.
However, Jiang Yue did not simply take these words as a compliment, because what he said was indeed reasonable. It was not to vent his personal emotions, but to hit the point.
Is this just a problem of the Yuncheng Action Bureau? Obviously not.
There must be many reasons why the Western Region made the strange tree grow so big. However, various departments neglected their duties, had too many small calculations, and really paid too little. This intentional or unintentional appeasement strategy undoubtedly contributed to the barbaric growth of the strange tree in the surface world.
In fact, why hasn’t the joint command team considered these issues?
Why did General Zeng emphasize those words during a meeting of the joint command team? No one wants to mess around? The more people want to hang around, the less likely they are to live a good life?
After all, many people’s selfishness is visible to the naked eye.
And why Yuncheng is in a state of decay, retreating steadily, and being continuously pushed forward by the power of the Weird Tree, it's not that they don't have enough strength, it's also because they have too much selfishness.
The several elders in the original command center each had their own selfish motives, ideas, and interests.
Seeing that everyone is working hard, no one is obviously lazy, but when it is really implemented, the result reflected on the battlefield is that they are retreating steadily and the control area continues to fall.
In fact, why did Jiang Yue encourage everyone to speak at the three o'clock meeting yesterday afternoon?
He just wanted to understand everyone's mental state and guess their attitude through speaking.
Leaving aside others, Wu Yongda, the director of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau, was obviously in a defensive mood and did not appear to be willing to cooperate.
If Wu Yongda disobeys everything, how can he expect the Yuncheng Action Bureau to work hard? Put aside all emotions and follow Jiang Yue's command?
One can imagine how difficult this is.
Although this is to protect Yuncheng and their hometown.
Yu Yanru said so much in one breath, and saw that Jiang Yue was not bored at all. On the contrary, he was quite encouraging and hopeful. She knew that she was right to tell the truth this time.
Finally I met a leader who was willing to listen to the truth.
Seeing Yu Yanru stop, Jiang Yue asked again: "Apart from the operations bureau and the military, based on your observation, are there any bright spots in the combat effectiveness of other aspects?"
"As long as it belongs to the official armed organizations of Yuncheng, the military is not included. The atmosphere of other departments is basically the same. The Operations Bureau is considered to have the best combat effectiveness. The others cannot be said to be useless, but they can also be said to have few bright spots. People who are in their positions protect themselves wisely, while those who are willing to give are not in their positions and speak lightly. This is a common situation in all departments of Yuncheng. This is in line with the ethos of the Sunshine Era."
An avalanche is not formed by one or two snowflakes, it must be the overall atmosphere.
"What about the Folk Awakeners?"
Yu Yanru's eyes lit up slightly, and it was rare to hear her show her approval: "The civil awakeners are indeed a group of brave men with good strength and have not been invaded by official habits. In fact, the contribution of these people in previous battles is no weaker than that of the Action Bureau , even more pure, and more willing to spare no effort. Unfortunately, these people have not formed an organization and cannot stick together tightly. They fight on their own in twos and threes, mostly in small groups. Moreover, they can easily be bribed, manipulated and used by official forces and become cannon fodder. "
Hot-blooded means innocence, and innocence means that it is easy to be easily manipulated by those old fools in the officialdom.
The most dangerous mission? you go.
You go and gnaw the hardest bone.
As long as it is a hot potato and a difficult task, leave it to the awakened people among the people.
In the name of the overall situation, the official power protects oneself wisely and accumulates strength.
Officials can still find a lot of high-sounding reasons for this.
"Deputy Director Yu, I think he relies more heavily on the awakened people, and he has united with a group of awakened people, right?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile.
Yu Yanru was also frank: "Yes, I have always paid more attention to uniting the awakened folk. I have indeed won over a group of awakened folk. Unfortunately, my position in the Action Bureau is a bit awkward. Even if I want to rely on the awakened folk, it is still difficult. "
"What are the specific difficulties?"
"First of all, I am not the director. Everything I want to do must go through the director. The director does not agree, and all aspects of treatment cannot be fulfilled even if they are promised. I can pay for some things privately, but with various equipment and benefits, I personally It cannot be provided.”
"Another issue is equal pay for equal work. I have always advocated equal pay for equal work, but it is impossible for the Action Bureau to agree."
"Another one is the issue of pensions. In any battle, there are bound to be casualties. Fighting for pensions for civil awakeners is particularly difficult on the Action Bureau side. In everyone's eyes, it's like competing for food from the Action Bureau members."
"Of course, the most critical point is that I don't have enough status. This is a two-way street. The awakened people I like, people think that I am just a deputy director. I don't have enough position, my waist is not straight, and I can't speak well. Often, I am a deputy director. I invite people with enthusiasm, but they don't look down on me at all. If I'm polite, I'll give you a polite rejection. If I'm rude, my words won't sound so nice."
Yu Yanru shook her head helplessly, with a hint of self-mockery in her tone.
Jiang Yue tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
After a long while, he suddenly asked: "Deputy Director Yu, let's say that your position is upgraded to one level, or even a separate department is established independent of the Action Bureau. Then you are specifically responsible for recruiting awakened people from the public, and you will receive the same treatment as the Action Bureau. The team members are all on par, how many people can you recruit?"
Yu Yanru's eyes lit up, but she didn't answer in a hurry. Instead, she considered it carefully in her heart.
After a moment, she spoke seriously: "Sir, if we go by the conditions you set, I think there will be absolutely no problem in recruiting 300 people within three days, and these 300 people are all elites."
"Okay, give me a day, and I will help you complete the official procedures. You are responsible for recruiting people who are awakened from the public. Remember, we will definitely not want those people who are messy and mess around. We can't recruit people just for the sake of recruiting people. People must be people with a strong will to fight and not have too many tricks. Our only big principle is that we would rather be in trouble than our mother."
Yu Yanru assured: "Sir, Mr. Director, I, Yu Yanru, hate people who are freeloaders the most. They work under me and there is no freeloader for them to eat. If a separate department is set up, I even doubt that the Action Bureau and the official departments will There will always be people who want to change jobs. Although there are many people there who are just squatting in the toilet, there are also a group of people who want to do something and make contributions. These people have no chance in that environment, but if they are given a stage , they can also contribute.”
"I'll give you three days. You can recruit as many as you can. I will be responsible for issues such as equipment and treatment. You are only responsible for pulling up the team, integrating the team, and forming a team that dares to fight hard and can fight hard. .”
"Master Director, I admire your courage. But you have to consider that this matter may encounter considerable resistance."
There is definitely resistance.
But the current situation is so critical. Jiang Yue will not mind kicking away anyone who wants to be a stumbling block.
Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times.
The joint command team gave him full authority to take charge of Cloud City's defense, and this was no empty talk.
If anyone openly sings the opposite, Jiang Yue can kill someone even without Shang Fang's sword.
After sending away Yu Yanru, Jiang Yue immediately found Mr. Song Youguang.
Tell Mr. Song truthfully about your relevant plans.
Mr. Song chuckled and said: "Xiao Jiang, I, this old man, am your protector. Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. If you need me, this old man, to protect you, I will not spare any effort. The situation in Yuncheng is extremely dangerous. If you don't do anything, If some big moves don't stimulate this stagnant water, it will really make people lose any hope."
With Mr. Song's attitude, Jiang Yue felt confident.
Continue with the meeting.
There were only five people in this meeting.
Mr. Song accompanied him and Jiang Yue presided over it. The invitees were Commander Hao of the 93rd Army, Ou Lin, the leader of Yuncheng, and Wu Yongda, director of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau.
Jiang Yue went straight to the point and distributed Yu Yanru's relevant information about the five strongholds to everyone.
These five strongholds do not require any further verification. They are already common sense issues.
"Everyone, in the past two days, I have been reviewing all the battles before the Yuncheng Defense Battle. I must admit that Yuncheng shed blood and sacrificed a lot."
Install the latest version. 】
"As for the result? Everyone should know it well. The result is not satisfactory. It can be said that it is a bit sorry for the bloodshed and sacrifice of the warriors."
"Is the enemy too strong? This is one of the reasons."
"On the other hand, our combat effectiveness is not well integrated. Just like five fingers, they are not clenched into fists to hit people. Instead, you poke them and I poke them. It looks like they are exerting their strength. , but it has not formed the greatest synergy.”
"Don't rush to refute me. You are all the most prestigious people in Yuncheng. These words may make you unhappy."
"I'm not targeting anyone. I came to Cloud City with only one goal, which is to deal with the Weird Tree. The crisis in the Western Region belongs to you, but in the end it belongs to all of us and to the entire human race. Therefore, I don't have any small calculations for foreign aid. I hope you don’t either.”
Having said this, Jiang Yue's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces.
"I know that if I let you talk openly now, you must each have your own grievances and excuses. In short, even if the situation in Yuncheng is not satisfactory, it is definitely not the responsibility of any of you. It is generally someone else's. There’s greater responsibility.”
"Today we will not talk about past responsibilities. What has happened in the past has been changed."
It’s a new chapter!
This made the words of the elders who wanted to express their grievances suddenly become boring when they came to their mouths to refute.
What else is there to refute? They haven't held anyone of you accountable in the past.
"Starting from now on, we will create a new gameplay, a gameplay that prevents everyone from throwing away the pot, but also cannot stick to the pot."
"We no longer fight jointly, but assign responsibilities to all parties. In other words, we will not eat from the big pot. The pot will be given to each family, and everyone will eat what they have. Eat more, eat less, eat well or eat bad, it is up to you It’s so clear that others can see it clearly.”
Having said this, Jiang Yue smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
This tells others that I’ll stop here and it’s your turn to take a stand.
Ou Lin, the leader of Yuncheng, was the first to stand up and cry out for pity: "Director Jiang, you know this. As the leader, I am responsible for government logistics and coordination of all aspects. I am not good at specific battles. So the responsibilities you mentioned are specific. From all sides, I see..."
"With all due respect, Yuncheng's main combat forces are the military and our operations bureau. How can we implement a responsibility system? In the end, it is not just our two families?" Wu Yongda disagreed.
Commander Hao did not sing the opposite, but firmly expressed his position: "I still say what I said, all actions follow the command. The joint command team is far-sighted and must be able to see the problem from the overall situation. Our 93rd Army will obey the command at any time."
Jiang Yue chuckled, his eyes stopping on Wu Yongda's face.
"Bureau Wu, I think there are many forces we can unite to fight against the Strange Tree, not just the Operations Bureau and the military."
"Other small fights will never become a big deal." Wu Yongda said without politeness at all.
Jiang Yue shook his head secretly, Wu Yongda was really arrogant. This is obviously because he has been in a high position for too long and is no longer grounded.
In fact, the combat effectiveness and potential of the awakened civilians are obviously underestimated. Wu Yongda also did not fully realize that this force is the greatest potential stock.
But Jiang Yue had no intention of arguing with him about this.
"Director Wu, you don't have to worry that I will leave the heavy burden on you and the military."
Wu Yongda was a little surprised: "What is Director Jiang's advice?"
"Of these five strongholds, I plan to let the Yuncheng Operations Bureau take charge of one of them. If one of the strongholds is removed, it will be regarded as a great achievement of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau."
"Only remove one stronghold? No need to do anything else?"
"No, the early battles will revolve around these five strongholds. Among these five strongholds, the Yuncheng Operations Bureau can contract one of them. As the two main forces in the Yuncheng defense war, Director Wu doesn't even have the courage to do so, right? "
Wu Yongda simply suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.
Is there such a good thing?
Originally, he thought that even if he was contracted, given the size of the Operations Bureau, he would get at least two points, right?
Only one contract?
"Five strongholds, let me choose?" Wu Yongda's calculations started to change again.
"President Ou will pick first, then your Yuncheng Operation Bureau will pick, and then the 93rd Army will pick. Each will be responsible for a stronghold." Jiang Yue said with a smile.
"Only one? If we complete it ahead of schedule, it has nothing to do with us whether the other strongholds are completed?"
"Yes, if you want to help when the time comes, you will naturally be honorable. If you want to stand by and watch, no one will blame you."
"Director Jiang? Are you serious?" If Wu Yongda is not moved by such a great thing, he would be a fool.
Five strongholds, picked with the second pick, are the second least difficult to pick. With the size of the action bureau, there will definitely not be much problem in removing them.
"It's absolutely true, but I have a condition."
"What?"
"Deputy Director Yu Yanru of your bureau, I have another appointment to separate from your operations bureau."
"Okay, I agree." Wu Yongda couldn't wait to stamp it and take effect on the spot.
Isn’t it easy to let someone go? What's more, this person is a subordinate he doesn't like. Giving up the position of deputy director is simply a double blessing.
It's strange that Wu Yongda would object. Looking at Jiang Yue, he doesn't seem so annoying anymore.
