Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 56 Tao Jianhua, Ye Pengfei: Holy crap??? [Please read on! Please vote!]

computer?

If an ordinary recruit had made this request, Tao Jianhua would probably have immediately rebuked him!

I'll give you back your computer, and I'll also get you a big bed and have three meals delivered to your door every day. You can just relax and have a vacation there.

But if this person is Chu Zhao...

Tao Jianhua felt it was still necessary to ask Chu Zhao's opinion...

"What do you need a computer for?"

Before Chu Zhao could speak, Ye Pengfei finally remembered what he had forgotten!

"Damn it! Li Jiahao got a good deal!"

As he spoke, Ye Pengfei rolled his eyes at Chu Zhao and said in an annoyed tone.

"If you hadn't interrupted, I would have dragged Li Jiahao to find the platoon leader already."

"This kid's got both stock trading and programming skills... I'll see if his computer skills are as good as he claims!"

"Wait a minute!"

Tao Jianhua frowned, feeling extremely puzzled.

What's with Li Jiahao again?

Why does it keep haunting me?

"Li Jiahao... isn't he the conspicuous guy from your class who enlisted twice?"

"How did this get back to computers?"

After hearing Tao Jianhua's words, Ye Pengfei realized that everything that had happened in the company recently seemed to be related to Li Jiahao...

However, his brilliance was always overshadowed by Chu Zhao, which is why Ye Pengfei didn't realize it.

Actually, there's one troublemaker in my class!

"Company commander, here's what happened."

"Weren't the platoon leader and the others busy making reports lately?"

"..."

After learning the whole story from Ye Pengfei, Tao Jianhua said "Oh" and nodded without saying anything.

To be precise... it's because I'm too embarrassed to speak up!

Creating the recruit identification information forms and such... was actually Ye Pengfei's job.

But asking someone who can't even use the "two-finger typing" method properly to create information sheets for hundreds of new recruits is really asking too much of a question...

By the time he finishes this form, the new recruit training will almost be over!

Left with no other choice, Ye Pengfei had to hand over the task to his three platoon leaders.

But the problem is... the three platoon leaders of the Fifth Company are also "two-finger" players!

For a high-altitude unit like the Fifth Division, recruitment is difficult, and it's even more difficult to assign an officer who entered a military academy through the college entrance examination or a specially recruited college student officer!

The vast majority of cadres were actually "local residents" of the Fifth Division. They became cadres through examinations, promotions, and other means, and eventually returned to the Fifth Division.

To address the shortage of officers, high-altitude units like the Fifth Division have an unusually large number of officer promotion quotas each year.

In years when there is a shortage of positions, even if the headquarters reduces the quota for inland troops, it will give priority to ensuring the promotion of officers for plateau troops!

In ordinary military units, even if all the conditions for promotion are met, there may still be a waiting list, or an internal assessment organized by the unit, with candidates competing for the annual promotion quota based on their performance.

However, this situation is practically nonexistent in troops stationed on plateaus!

As long as you meet the requirements for promotion, you don't need to worry about anything. Once the democratic review is passed and the public announcement period ends, you can immediately pack your bags and head to military academy!

To prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes, there is a specific written regulation for the promotion of officers in plateau troops.

Any cadre promoted in the plateau region is prohibited from being transferred to a unit at the division level or above before reaching a certain number of years of service!

Want to get promoted in a high-altitude unit and then return to a better-equipped inland unit? No way!

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he would still have to abide by this rule!

Once the transfer conditions are met... these cadres have generally served in the plateau troops for about twenty years, so it's only natural for them to want to leave.

But the vast majority of people are reluctant to leave the land they protect.

The reason why the Fifth Division, and indeed all plateau troops, can receive preferential treatment in terms of promotion quotas is ultimately because there are very few highly educated talents who want to come to the plateau region.

Even if such talents do exist, they would be snapped up by higher-level units as soon as they arrive in the military. Why would they go to grassroots units?

This results in a situation where, although there are many officers in grassroots units, very few are skilled in using computers for office work.

When Tao Jianhua, who was promoted to a high-ranking official, joined the army, computers and the Internet had not yet become popular.

After the rise of the Internet and computers, they were climbing snow-capped mountains, wading through valleys, and guarding the borders of the motherland. Where would they have the opportunity to learn about computers?

Nowadays, the military is beginning to promote information-based office work, but for these officers who have never been exposed to computers before, just learning to type is enough to take them quite a while.

This is precisely why Ye Pengfei was so excited when he heard that Li Jiahao knew about computers.

The grassroots military units are desperately short of people who understand computers!

As a participant in this era, Chu Zhao certainly understands what proficient computer office skills mean in today's grassroots military units!

"Company commander, I heard from the squad leader that..."

"Are our company's three platoon leaders currently compiling identity information forms?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Tao Jianhua and Ye Pengfei immediately looked at Chu Zhao and asked tentatively.

"You... know how to use a computer for work?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao patted his chest, expressing himself with some pride.

"Company commander, I'm still a student at Anhui University!"

"Knowing these kinds of little skills is only natural, isn't it?"

Ouch!

How could I have forgotten about that!

Tao Jianhua slapped his forehead in frustration, as if waking from a dream!

"Chu Zhao, the company commander needs to explain this to you clearly."

"Our unit is currently in dire need of people who understand computers, not some trivial skill like you're talking about!"

"Several new recruits who joined the army last year were snatched up by government agencies right after basic training because they knew computers and office skills."

"One of the new recruits is currently working in the Jun district's combat readiness duty room; he might be promoted to officer in a couple of years!"

Because he is good with computers and office work, a new recruit who just finished basic training was sent to one of the seven major military district headquarters in Yan Country. His future prospects are limitless!

For a generation that grew up after the rise of the internet, this seems very unimaginable.

But in today's troops, in the current Fifth Division.

If a new recruit says he can drive a tank, the squad leader and commanding officer will at most be a little surprised.

But if a new recruit says he can use a computer for work... the squad leader and commanding officer will treat him like royalty!

"Give the company commander a heads-up."

"How good are you at computers?"

"Does he know a little, or is he like that new recruit transferred to the military headquarters... exceptionally proficient?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao smiled faintly and replied unhurriedly.

"Company commander, I don't know how my skill level is considered in our unit."

"Or... could you find me a computer, and I'll show it to you in person?"

The words fell.

Tao Jianhua grabbed Chu Zhao's wrist and said decisively.

"Come with me!"

I climbed three more floors.

Chu Zhao followed Tao Jianhua and the other person to the club in the main building of the training team.

Before even entering the room, Chu Zhao could hear the roaring sound emanating from the main unit.

Inside the club, seven or eight cadres sat scattered about, their faces etched with worry as they typed away at their keyboards.

The arrival of Chu Zhao and his two companions immediately attracted the attention of many cadres, and some even took the initiative to greet Tao Jianhua.

But right now, Tao Jianhua has no intention of paying attention to them.

Tao Jianhua led Chu Zhao directly to an empty computer and then gestured for him to proceed.

come on.

It's your turn to shine!

Seeing this, Chu Zhao didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to open the "big-button computer" in front of him.

After the iconic XP system startup animation, Chu Zhao dragged the mouse and opened the Excel spreadsheet on the desktop.

After a moment's thought, Chu Zhao raised his hand and typed a line of text into the form.

[Unit 69210 of the Jincheng Military Region of the People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China...]

This line of content is nothing special.

However, Chu Zhao's action of typing this line of text attracted the attention of everyone in the club!

"Crackling and popping..."

Watching Chu Zhao's fingers fly across the keyboard, and listening to the seemingly continuous sound of the keyboard being typed.

Tao Jianhua only felt a flash before his eyes, and the form selected by Chu Zhao was filled with words!

next second.

The club suddenly fell silent, plunging into a deathly stillness!

Tao Jianhua and Ye Pengfei: "..."

"Holy crap???"
