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, and it was not to vent his personal emotions, but to hit the point.
Is this just a problem with the Yuncheng Operations Bureau? Obviously not.
There must be many reasons why the Western Region has allowed the Weird Tree to grow so big. However, various departments have neglected their duties, had too many small calculations, and paid too little. This intentional or unintentional appeasement strategy has undoubtedly contributed to the growth of the Weird Tree.
The wild growth of trees in the surface world.
In fact, why hasn’t the joint command team considered these issues?
Why would General Zeng emphasize those words during a meeting of the joint command team? No one should want to dawdle. The more people want to dawdle, the less likely they will have a good life.
After all, many people's selfishness is visible to the naked eye.
As for why Yuncheng is in a state of decay, retreating steadily, and being pushed forward by the forces of the Weird Tree, it's not that they don't have enough power, but 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 and no one is obviously lazy, but when they really put it into practice, 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 wants 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, do you expect the Yuncheng Operations 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 for the official armed organizations in 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 their lives 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 caused by one or two snowflakes, it must be caused by 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 really 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 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.
"
Being passionate means being innocent, and being innocent means being 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 or a difficult job, it should be left 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, relies more heavily on the awakened folk, and has united with a group of awakened folk, 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 with 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 at 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-deprecation 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, and then you are specifically responsible for recruiting people who are awakened from the public, and you will receive the same treatment as the Action Bureau.
If 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, but 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 have a mother who is in trouble."
Yu Yanru promised: "Sir, Chairman, I, Yu Yanru, hate people who are freeloaders the most. They work under me and there is no freeloaders 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 the 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.
.”
"Sir, 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 whoever wants to be a stumbling block.
Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times.
The joint command team gave him full authority to take charge of the defense of Cloud City. This was not an empty promise.
If anyone openly speaks against someone, Jiang Yue can still kill someone even without Shang Fang's sword.
After sending away Yu Yanru, Jiang Yue immediately found Song Youguang and Mr. Song.
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, so if you don't do it,
If some big actions don't stimulate this stagnant water, it will really make people lose sight of any hope."
With Mr. Song's attitude, Jiang Yue felt confident.
Continue the meeting.
There were only five people in this meeting.
Song Lao accompanied him, Jiang Yue presided over it, and 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 matters of common sense.
"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, and indeed paid a lot."
"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 partly the reason."
"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 force.
, but it has not formed the greatest combined force.”
"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 Yuncheng with only one goal, which is to deal with the Weird Tree. The crisis in the Western Region belongs to you, but ultimately 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 haven't either."
Having said this, Jiang Yue's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces.
"I know that if I ask you to speak 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.
The responsibility is greater.”
"Today we will not talk about past responsibilities. What 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 are you still refuting? 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 prevents them from sticking 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, but 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.
Let me tell others, 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 mercy: "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 stated: "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 always follow the command."
Jiang Yue chuckled and his eyes stopped on Wu Yongda's face.
"Bureau Wu, I think that in the battle against the Strange Tree, we can unite many forces, 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. He had obviously been in a high position for too long and was no longer down to earth.
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 biggest potential stock.
But Jiang Yue had no intention of arguing with him about this.
"Bureau 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 battle, 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, right?
Actually only contracted one?
"Five strongholds, let me choose?" Wu Yongda's calculations began 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 or not?"
"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 about this?" If Wu Yongda is not moved by such a great thing, he would be a fool.
Of the five strongholds, the second pick is 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?"
"Yu Yanru, deputy director of your bureau, has another appointment and wants 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 a 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.
