But this scene must be witnessed by the applying discharged soldiers; otherwise, everything is just empty talk.
The requirents are indeed high: aged 18 to 26, discharged within the last two years, capable of enduring hardship, neither colorblind nor weak-sighted, not excessively overweight, having served at the grass-roots company (squadron) level, with physical fitness standards not lower than those of a regular squadron, and priority given to those who have received grassroots honors.
A 24-hour standby duty system, combined with annual leave, ten days of paid leave per month, and in addition to those days, 20 days of paid vacation each year.
Of course, there is job placent for those with second-class ritorious service or above, so it’s unlikely that such high-achievers would compete for a position that doesn’t even offer a career appointnt. As for honors, distinctions such as being an "excellent soldier" and "four haves" military personnel count as well.
Combatant salaries start at 2,200 yuan, which includes basic salary, performance pay, duty subsidies, and seniority pay (increasing by 130 yuan each year).
Drivers must have a B2 or higher driving license, with a starting salary of 2,600 yuan.
Additionally: for those with a Level 2 chef certification or computer certification, there will be an extra subsidy of 300 yuan in their salary.
Social security and housing provident fund benefits are slightly lower than for public institutions.
Special duty posts receive subsidies equivalent to those of active-duty soldiers.
During the employnt period, one must strictly adhere to the readiness requirents of the daily routine, actively participate in training, and any violators can be reported by the squadron commander to the signing big team for approval, and after verification, warnings or punishnts equivalent to derits may be given.
Within one contract period, warnings should not exceed three tis, and punishnts should not exceed once, otherwise, termination will follow.
Renewal requirents: If one ets the physical and skill assessnt standards, the next contract period can be renewed.
To ensure their families fully support them, the recruitnt advertisent states that it is mandatory to be accompanied by a close relative or friend.
The system will continue to be refined, and the benefits may also be adjusted upwards in accordance with societal developnt.
The clear requirents and benefits provided are already enough for them to judge the future potential of the job.
For newcors, it is already quite good: board and lodging are included, basically matching the current wages of first-period non-commissioned officers, and even slightly higher than young non-commissioned officers, reaching the basic inco level of young civil servants.
After working for three contract periods, or nine years, one can obtain job placent or a significant severance package.
Moreover, they heard that there are particularly many opportunities for job supplents in the Special Service Squadron 2. If one could join their rescue sub-team, they would get at least two or three hundred yuan in job allowances.
The final confird benefits are very secure, with various additional subsidies for the capable, so much so that the big team’s clerical recruitnt, which was originally planned to be conducted simultaneously, had to be done separately.
Lest they beco envious.
The Chief of Staff was very cunning, seizing the opportunity provided by the support funds from Huali Electric to set 35 recruitnt slots with very high standards.
Determined to take advantage of this favorable wind, he aid to fill the big teams with gaps in personnel, making them strong and robust in one go. All the big teams were ecstatic.
For the 35 positions, nearly two hundred qualified applying retired soldiers ca.
With this situation, it’s no longer about the remnants of a defeated force; this is about recruiting elites!
Choosing thirty-sothing out of 200 discharged soldiers, all physically fit, if this isn’t elite, what is?
Moreover, the recruitnt information was released at the beginning of the month, with as many as nine hundred retired soldiers initially signing up. Those two hundred who made it to the venue were narrowed down based on the recruitnt requirents to around four hundred. Only after they passed the dical examination and physical fitness test were they notified to co for the application.
The big teams that had not been allocated positions were initially indifferent, thinking they had spent money to hire a bunch of loafers difficult to manage and had not competed for the positions. However, upon hearing the recruitnt requirents and process, they all grew jealous, their teeth practically falling out with envy, and one by one, they called the Detachnt leadership to report the issue.
We need people too! We’re out of manpower, leadership!
So much so that the leaders could only give a perfunctory response: there’s a second recruitnt period! The second one!
The recruitnt is the responsibility of the Detachnt, and the five big teams participating in the recruitnt each send a cadre to observe and record.
Yunyan, Kaiyang, Xifeng, Qing Town, the attendees are all Vice Brigade Captain-level figures, only in Special Duty, Fang Huai is presiding, and moreover, he is one of the main examiners.
Once everyone understood what Huali Electric was all about, they had to pinch their noses and accept it, marveling at how Special Duty had produced such a heaven-sent warrior. A Fang Huai had made them hear about Special Service Squadron 2 so much over the past year that their ears had grown calluses.
And this ti, Fang Huai had no intention of playing any tricks.
The recruitnt had one the, stringency.
As soon as the donation ceremony ended, Fang Huai stood before the crowd, scrutinizing the disorderly scene.
These people had been discharged for a while now.
Moreover, among the crowd were also a bunch of family mbers of the applying discharged soldiers, instructing them, creating a chaotic scene reminiscent of the Ard Forces Departnt sending off troops ten months ago.
However, with a few shouts from Fang Huai, the gap was imdiately evident.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
"Family mbers of the applicants, fall back! Applicants, find your nearest position and assemble!"
"Look to the right... Align!"
The ranks quickly ca together.
"Look forward!"
With one command, the discharged soldiers demonstrated a certain level of discipline. In just a few seconds, without prior organization, they roughly ford into a square formation.
Yet Fang Huai frowned.
"When I say assemble nearby, you should assemble nearby. Don’t you know to fill in the ranks, front, and back? Can’t you figure out who’s taller or shorter? What happened to the quality of being a soldier? Have you forgotten? Your family mbers are all still here. Is this assembly how you report the years of training you participated in during your military service?"
The ones below imdiately felt that familiar sting.
Familiar, too damn familiar.
When they were new recruits, that’s how the squad leader spoke, full of traps. If you weren’t aware, you’d just be waiting to get drilled.
But, they weren’t new recruits anymore!
Within the threshold of 26 years, and having been discharged within two years, in reality, most of them had just left the army last winter. So joined the military at sixteen or seventeen.
Among the assembled, the shortest service was two years, and the longest, eight years!
After Fang Huai cursed out, so people felt an almost imdiate surge of defiance in their hearts.
You, a young whippersnapper from the Firefighting forces, lecturing us on military regulations?
We used to carry guns!
Do you believe , if I say the army blanket stored at my house, laid out, would be tidier than the corner of your wall?
But Fang Huai quickly gave them another chance to prove themselves.
"Let’s assemble again, this ti, let see your quality!"
"Right dress...Ready!"
The sound of shuffling feet erupted thunderously.
Two hundred ex-soldiers, wearing various clothes, who had been optimally selected, found in the stomping sound a long-lost calling to their souls.
Everyone, in this torrent ford of steel parts that once belonged to the state’s machinery of violence, swiftly sought their rightful places. They proved their forr units’ discipline through the only ans available to them.
This feeling was quite miraculous.
Back in the old troop, everyone ca from all corners of the country. Locals were hard to find, but the service numbers were the sa.
Now, they were almost all from the sa place but bore different service numbers.
They suddenly had sothing to compare.
And they felt a long-lost, tear-inducing familiarity.
This ti, the stomping lasted for twenty seconds.
After twenty seconds, everyone had ford a massive square formation in order of height, row by row.
It also proved that for China to summon one qualified discharged soldier and form an orderly collective, it only took twenty seconds.
All stood silent and erect, their eyes fixed on the cheek of the person to their right.
The accompanying relatives and friends were deeply moved.
This is what their boyfriends, husbands, sons, and good brothers were like in the military.
When they ca ho, they sotis bragged about their military bearing and how they folded their blankets, recounting their glorious monts in the service.
They were also mocked: is this all you brought back? Good at shooting and throwing grenades, but where’s the gun, the grenades? Why didn’t you bring any back?
Later, they gradually stopped talking about it.
Gradually blending into this freewheeling society, all that remained was the erectness of their posture, and perhaps, that buzz cut.
But today, seeing them assemble together, their relatives and friends realized: what remained was also a soul.
A soul whose origins were hard to understand yet felt distinctly palpable.
Even Old Teacher He, whose eyes were always strict, couldn’t help nodding in approval.
Today, upon arrival, Fang Huai had said to him with a smile, "In the future, our Firefighting will be the recycling station of the three services."
Recycling station.
Thinking of this term, Master He laughed.
It was not that Firefighting had recycled them, but that it had rekindled them.
These people, like dry tinder ready to ignite at the slightest touch. He, too a soldier, could feel the scorching atmosphere within these soldiers.
Fang Huai was also smiling.
But his thoughts were more grounded in reality.
Even dry tinder is human, and while the military soul is important, to make them willing to continue to burn, one must first bestow upon them equality.
(I’ll add another Chapter in the middle of the night, but it will certainly be very late, so look for it at dawn.)
