“I also told him that since he was invited to return, he should only appear during a critical moment. If he comes here often, he will make other sniper instructors have opinions about him. If one person finishes the tasks of several people, it will appear that others are incapable.”
“I also said that his starting point is good. He wants to train more excellent snipers. But this is an invisible offensive and a way of inviting criticism for himself. For the unity of the entire sniper base, he must change his habit of liking to take charge.”
Political Commissar Yan was already laughing when he heard this. That was indeed a good persuasion, not bad!
With Principal Chen’s temperament, only this kind of persuasion could speak to his heart!
“Uncle Chen was stunned for a while after listening. I saw there were some changes in him; then I asked him if he handles all the training, then should the other sniper instructors just watch and give simple instructions? If they really did so, then he can only blame himself.”
“The main responsibility of a sniper instructor is to take charge of sniper training. How can they just watch and give some shallow and simple guidance? I told him, this way, he is not helping them, but taking their jobs.”
Ye Jian had already checked the fourth sniper rifle as she spoke. She put the bullets into the magazine one by one, put on the safety lock, and adjusted the sight. She did not slow down at all, and her posture was sharp and skilled.
Recalling Principal Chen’s shocked expression at the time, Ye Jian, who was secretly smiling at the time, also laughed with Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan, “Uncle Chen was really scared at the time. Of course, he didn’t want to take someone else’s job or take credit; he just wanted to train a group of snipers.”
“After thinking carefully about what I said, he finally sighed and told me that he really did not think about it. When he returned to the sniper training base, he corrected his habit so as not to cause any misunderstanding with the other sniper instructors.”
“Look, he’s changed, hasn’t him? He’s been back for five days. Principal Chen now strictly implements two hours of training in the morning and two hours of training in the afternoon every day. The rest of the time, he communicates with the sniper instructors or just watches me train.”
Political Commissar Yan, who laughed loudly, gave Ye Jian a thumbs up, “You’re really amazing. Just a few words, you managed to persuade him not to overwork himself. Four hours of guidance a day is absolutely fine.”
“Some time ago, he stayed at the sniper base almost every day. He followed the soldiers during the day and night. He also went to the mountains for training. He will lie as far as the soldiers lie. Regiment Commander Liu and I were both frightened and horrified.”
“Now we are relieved. Four hours of guidance and then teach the sniper instructors; this is good. It lets them study together. In the future, Old Chen will have more and more rest time.”
Principal Chen, who was strictly training the soldiers, did not pay attention to their conversation. After finishing the camouflage training course, he entered the image memory training of “range estimation”.
A sniper soldier ran to Ye Jian from the end of the training ground, saluted Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan, then said to Ye Jian, “Ye Jian, the instructor asks you to go over and do a demonstration. We are in the range estimation training now.”
The soldiers entering the training were all soldiers with excellent shooting performance during their recruit training. In June, the Yunnan Provincial Military Region received an order from the military headquarters to train a group of outstanding snipers for counter-terrorism operations. The Yunnan Provincial Sniper Base selected the soldiers from there.
While the Yunnan Provincial Military Region received an order, Principal Chen also received an order from the military department. Principal Chen, who originally stayed in Shuikou Village and only occasionally went to the army, entered the sniper base and began sniper training with the selected soldiers. As a result, he overworked himself, and that was how he had stomach bleeding injuries and was admitted into the hospital.
