Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1417

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1418: Renewal of Military Personnel

In March, the so-called iron-clad barracks with flowing soldiers, the replacement of the old with the new is a necessary process to keep the military alive and vibrant. Every year, soldiers of certain age retire, making way for new blood. Thus, a red-headed document was issued in the military, and the list of this year’s replacements needs to be put on the agenda.

Qi Taiguo was appointed to assist in managing the affairs, mainly responsible for the screening of the replacement list this time.

This wasn’t unexpected. He had known this would happen since last year. Besides those who reached the age limit, there were the unproductive ones, and just like the general list before, Chen Shouwang’s name was also on it.

"So, he’s definitely going to be cut?" Cheng Su asked in shock after hearing Qi Taiguo’s words.

"It’s not completely set yet. Most of the list is submitted by lower levels, then screened level by level. If there are no issues on my side, I mark the names and pass it up, and that basically sets it!" Qi Taiguo said.

"So, your checkpoint is quite critical then?"

Qi Taiguo nodded, "You could say that!"

Cheng Su thought for a moment and said, "Then you should be careful! I’m afraid someone might approach you to pull strings!"

Qi Taiguo was taken aback, "Pull what strings?"

"The finalizing of the list is done on your end. Those who don’t want to demobilize might somewhat come to ask you for favors, right?" Cheng Su said.

Qi Taiguo didn’t consider this before, and said, "Nonsense, how can relationships sort this out? It’s all about overall quality for the replacements, especially for those who have aged. The country needs to maintain robust combat capability, so it naturally has to replace the old, weak, sick, or disabled. Pull strings? Does it mean to keep those who can’t distinguish left from right, or those injured?"

Cheng Su, seeing his agitation, said calmly, "I’m just reminding you, given the country’s condition!"

Qi Taiguo’s face darkened, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I’ll go to the unit and sort things out. Don’t wait for me to eat." He said this and left with big strides without waiting for Cheng Su to reply.
