Chapter 230 I wouldn't even take the position of a cadre
Lu Yao, being an easygoing person, laughed and said, "It was her own choice."
Liu Shuangyan nodded, "Yes, I'm the only female soldier in the militia company. If I don't do these things, who will? I'm doing it voluntarily!"
Seeing how calm and composed the two of them were, Mei Ping didn't think much of it.
Let's get straight to the point with Lu Yao:
"I came here to check on your injuries."
Lu Yao stretched his arms: "I'm fine."
Mei Ping nodded: "Secondly, let me tell you that your merit has been reported to the military region and is waiting for approval. You will receive a merit award, and the county will hold a commendation meeting in advance."
As Mei Ping spoke, she looked at Lu Yao and saw that he remained calm and composed, which she admired about the young man's steadiness.
He added, "Thirdly, I wanted to discuss with you the possibility of organizing another large-scale manhunt in the mountains!"
Mei Ping's tone has completely changed from before.
They actually used the word "discuss".
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Sister Mei, you can arrange everything. Our militia company will cooperate at any time."
Having experienced life and death on Dahuan Mountain, Mei Ping also came to understand Lu Yao's actual abilities, and naturally restrained her former arrogance.
He said very modestly, "No, no, you have more experience than me in combat. Ju Zhenghua and I have discussed it, and this time you will lead the entire militia team to try to complete the large-scale search before the end of the year!"
"What do you mean by 'the whole thing'?"
Lu Yao is now the militia leader of Shuiling Commune, and Zhang Zongshan listens to him.
So when Mei Ping said that, he immediately asked the question.
Mei Ping explained, "Such a large mountain range, the few dozen militiamen from your Shuiling Commune are definitely not enough. County Chief Hao, Minister Ju, and I have already discussed it and decided to mobilize all the militia forces from Jiangzhou County to go into the mountains. Together with the Criminal Investigation Brigade, we'll have a force of over a thousand people..."
Lu Yao grinned upon hearing this.
Such a large scale?
If one wants to climb the ranks and become an official, this is certainly a good opportunity.
However, he did not want to pursue a career in politics.
They just wanted to protect their own little corner of the world, quietly develop their business, and lay the foundation for future great ambitions.
I don't want to work my way up to some minister or bureau chief position.
They'll be so busy they'll be running around like crazy, and they won't even be able to showcase their business acumen.
I don't want to be a parasite on the state, abusing my power for personal gain and engaging in profiteering.
Although many officials engaged in business in the early days of reform and opening up, Lu Yao did not want to be held accountable later.
As the saying goes, one is carefree without official rank.
So Lu Yao immediately waved his hand:
"No, no, Director Mei, I'm good at individual combat. I don't have the ability to lead such a large group of people! You should find someone more capable. Zhang Zongshan has been on the battlefield; he would be a good choice."
"You don't need to be modest..."
"No, no, no, I'm not being modest, I really don't want to lead the team! Really!"
Lu Yao spoke very sincerely.
Mei Ping never expected that Lu Yao would shirk the opportunity she had worked so hard to secure for him!
The county has 24 communes and tens of thousands of registered militiamen.
That's because we're preparing for it.
There aren't usually that many armed officers on duty.
However, a commune also has dozens of regular militia members who regularly conduct field training exercises.
They have assembled over a thousand militiamen.
Entrusting you with deployment and task assignment is such a huge show of trust!
It is estimated that the other twenty-three militia company commanders also dream of having this opportunity.
Lu Yao actually declined?
Mei Ping originally intended to deliver the message as good news.
These words should have been said by Ju Zhenghua.
But Mei Ping insisted on coming in person, wanting to see Lu Yao's grateful expression.
This can be considered as repaying Lu Yao for saving his life.
As a result, he was met with indifference.
Lu Yao simply wouldn't accept it.
Would you also recommend Zhang Zongshan to lead the team?
Zhang Zongshan's abilities were simply average among the vast majority of militia members.
Wang Changhai, the former company commander of Xiangyang Commune, was a guerrilla leader during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Chen Ping'an, the company commander of Chaoyangou Commune, made meritorious contributions during the Korean War.
Although Shui Miao, the company commander of Fenhewan Commune, was a woman, she was an excellent marksman and had won the marksmanship competition.
Wang Tieshan, the company commander of Tietouling Commune, was a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. The bricks he could smash with his iron palms could build a small two-story building.
Each of them has some special skills.
I recommend you because you performed exceptionally well in this operation; even your subordinates might not be convinced of your abilities.
You still won't agree?
Mei Ping looked a little unhappy.
A pair of beautiful eyes gazed at Lu Yao:
"Comrade Lu, I'm not joking. I genuinely recommend you. Minister Ju and I are arranging the overall strategy. Huang Zitao from the Criminal Investigation Brigade is the main force, and the militia is also very important. I hope you can accept this mission, perform well, and you'll have great potential for promotion!"
Lu Yao smiled:
"Sister, I appreciate your kindness. I'm young, being a company commander is already good enough for me, making me a battalion commander or regimental commander is a bit too much for me. Besides, there aren't that many Japanese soldiers left on the mountain. Maybe there are small groups of bandits hiding there, but they can't be regular troops. I really don't want to go."
"What?"
Mei Ping stood up.
"You don't even want to go anymore?"
Lu Yao stared at her in astonishment. Why such a big reaction?
Mei Ping looked serious, adopting her icy demeanor once again:
"This is an order, and as the militia company commander of Shuiling Commune, you must obey it!"
Liu Shuangyan, who was standing to the side, was terrified.
He reached out and poked Lu Yao in the back:
"Company Commander Lu, go ahead and go. Since you're so capable, I'll go too and learn from you."
Lu Yao thought to himself, "The reason I don't want to be an official is because there are too many constraints involved."
They issue orders at the drop of a hat, displaying an attitude of arrogance and the power to oppress others by their rank.
His face darkened immediately.
"Director Mei, are you here to deliver orders to threaten me, or to see me?"
"Yes, we have both. We're looking at you because you were injured on duty while relaying orders. This is also the intention of the county magistrate and Minister Ju."
Lu Yao's expression grew increasingly cold.
I hate it when others pressure me.
In my previous life abroad, the leader of the mercenary group had a falling out with me because he was putting on airs.
He later died a terrible death.
If it comes to loyalty and righteousness, Lu Yao would be willing to risk his life for his friends, going to great lengths to help them.
If you insist on using oppression and threats, humph, then you've misjudged me.
Lu Yao waved his hand: "I said I'm not going. If you think I'm not qualified, then dismiss me and have me executed!"
After saying that, he took off his pistol and slammed it on the table with a "thud".
"What...is that attitude?"
Mei Ping was really angry.
Given her current relationship with Lu Yao, there's nothing Lu Yao wouldn't agree to if he discussed it with her properly.
How dare you throw a gun at me?
Lu Yao shook his head: "I just don't want to go, it'll be a waste of time! My feeling is that there's nothing much left in the mountains now except for wild animals, so a large-scale search is unnecessary. You can focus on the city."
Mei Ping retorted angrily, "This isn't something you can decide. You're just a soldier; you do what your superiors tell you to do!"
Lu Yao stood up, his face almost touching Mei Ping's:
"Sis, if you consider me a friend, let's not talk about this. If you need to give an order, let Minister Ju do it; you're not my direct superior."
Mei Ping never expected that she would come full of joy only to be met with a cold shoulder.
She was so angry that her eyes turned red.
He watched as Lu Yao was panting heavily.
Lu Yao's heart softened upon seeing this.
Mei Ping is different from Yang Shouye. She doesn't oppress herself for personal gain at the expense of the public.
He's just impatient and straightforward.
He was a bit arrogant, but he didn't have any bad intentions.
He couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to gently pinch Mei Ping's chin:
"Oh, oh, oh, you're angry! You're not so great either. People say a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, and you're crying because I was just joking with you?"
"Who's joking with you?"
Mei Ping was so angry that she punched Lu Yao in the chest several times.
This guy doesn't look like a bureau chief at all; he's clearly just a little woman!
