Chapter 383 What is Zhao Weihong? Call her the teacher! Call her the editor-in-chief! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
Yenching, General C, Military Training Department.
As a second-level department under the General C, in terms of level, the Military Training Department is merely a regular army-level agency, not as high as that of the University of Science and Technology.
However, in daily work, all military branches and military academies must work under the guidance of the Military Training Department.
Even a vice-military-level university of science and technology is no exception.
From this we can see the extraordinary position of the Military Training Department in the military construction system.
This also means that the daily work of the Military Training Department is extremely busy.
5+2, working day and night, that is a common thing, and there is rarely any time to rest throughout the year.
And because it is directly facing the grassroots and major colleges and universities, the Military Training Department also needs to frequently deal with many sudden and unplanned tasks.
"A new life."
The words fell.
In the Military Training Department, the Chief of the First Section of the Arms Construction Division walked into the office with a thick brown paper file bag and a tired look on his face.
The section chief looked very young, probably in his early thirties at most.
However, on his shoulders, he had the rank of lieutenant colonel with two bars and two stars!
As the section chief of the Military Training Department, a full-army-level unit, he himself is a full-army-level cadre!
A lieutenant colonel and regimental-level cadre in his early thirties!
The four words "a bright future" are most concretely embodied in him.
The other faces in his department also looked very young, without any of the lifeless "twilight" that one would find in a large local government agency.
"Chief, what's the mission?"
"Should we prepare a plan for a multi-service joint exercise, or..."
"It has nothing to do with the grassroots military. It's a matter for the academy."
Rubbing his brows tiredly, the young section chief's tone was filled with the resentment that is unique to "overtime workers".
"The University of Science and Technology and Hitachi Command have jointly sent us a draft of a textbook on the theoretical basis of informationized force construction. We need to complete the preliminary review before the New Year, so that we can send it to various experts for final review after the New Year."
"Chief, this is not right? It's only been a few months since this task was assigned."
“You’ve already finished the first draft?”
"Besides, wasn't this writing task originally given to Commander Hitachi? How did it get linked to the University of Science and Technology?"
Looking at his subordinate's astonished look, the section chief rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"You ask me? Who should I ask?"
"I still want to know about this!"
"Who doesn't know that the University of Science and Technology and the Hitachi Index have been enemies for many years?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the two companies' joint signatures were clearly written on the document."
"I don't believe that the two companies would actually work together to write the same textbook!"
He lit a cigarette feeling a little irritable and took a deep puff to expel the fatigue accumulated from working overtime in recent days.
The section chief personally tore open the seal on the brown paper file bag and carefully took out the first draft, which had been sorted and revised and had more than 400,000 words.
After briefly flipping through it, the section chief first carefully put aside the formal content of the first draft, divided into chapters, and then picked up the "Afterword" which was only a thin piece of paper.
It is called a postscript, but in fact it is a brief introduction to the textbook itself and the writing team, so that the Military Training Department can clearly know who participated in the writing of this textbook, and avoid the situation where the first draft is sent to the staff of the writing team during the final review, which would result in the team "reviewing themselves".
[The Basic Theory of Informationized Force Construction is a basic textbook for college-level command students, which was commissioned by the General C Military Training Department and jointly compiled by the National University of Defense Technology and Changshan Army Command College (in no particular order)]
Looking at the words "in no particular order" in the brackets, the section chief's mouth twitched, and his heart was instantly filled with speechless.
Don't think about it.
The section chief was certain that the sentence "in no particular order of ranking" must have been added at the request of Commander Hitachi, who was ranked behind!
The same applies if HKUST is ranked at the back.
They have worked together to compile the textbook, but they still haggle over such trivial matters.
They are indeed old enemies and rivals who have been fighting for decades!
Shaking his head with emotion, the section chief continued reading.
[This textbook is edited by Zhao Weihong, and the editors include Zhao Weihong (Chapters 1, 2, and 33). Wang Guang, Liu Xiongshi, and Liao Jiuzhang participated in the review.]
Section Chief: “???”
He brought the cigarette butt that was about to burn out between his fingertips to his mouth and took another deep puff.
The section chief, with an extremely complicated expression, was silent for a moment, then suddenly picked up the phone on the table.
"Hello? Is this the Academic Affairs Department of HKUST?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. I found a problem with the first draft you sent me."
I quickly flipped through the textbook's table of contents and confirmed that this textbook only had thirteen chapters in total.
The section chief suppressed the strong desire to complain in his heart and said with some pain.
"There is only one editor-in-chief, that's all."
"How come there is only one editor? And he is the same person as the editor-in-chief?"
"So this entire textbook of yours was written by one person?"
“It’s not just one person.”
As soon as these words came out, the section chief nodded with great satisfaction.
"That's what I said, how is it possible?"
"Aren't there other people who are responsible for providing opinions, reviewing, proofreading, etc."
"I remember they should have written it down, didn't you see it?"
I subconsciously looked at the rest of the postscript.
It’s true, there are quite a few names to come.
There are many people responsible for reviewing and proofreading each section. Special thanks to the experts who did not join the writing team but provided valuable suggestions for the writing work.
The section chief roughly estimated that there were more than twenty people directly involved in the editing work.
If we count those who "expressed their gratitude", the number would be close to 40.
From this perspective, this textbook is really the product of "collective wisdom and collective efforts" and is the result of teamwork.
Except for Zhao Weihong, it seems that no one's absence will have any impact.
"I saw."
"But isn't writing the most important thing in writing?"
“The editor-in-chief is one person, that’s fine.”
"There was only one editor? Or was it Zhao Weihong? He was responsible for writing thirteen chapters alone?"
"I've looked at the table of contents. Your textbook only has thirteen chapters, right?"
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
No wonder the section chief asked again and again.
This is indeed the case, it is really a bit outrageous.
One person completed the writing of the entire textbook.
Many section chiefs are very familiar with the experts in the field of informationized force construction. They can only make suggestions on this list, and some are even simply responsible for reviewing and proofreading and serving as "assistants"!
You know, if this textbook can pass the review.
Then this "Postscript" will be printed and distributed to all colleges and universities in the military together with the textbooks in the future!
If such an outrageous "list of editors" is submitted and it does not match the facts, the first person to be blamed will definitely be the section chief in charge of the first batch of reviews. He cannot afford to be careless and must dig deep to get to the bottom of it!
"How could this thing be wrong?" "It was written by Wei Hong alone, no problem!"
"You mean besides this Zhao Weihong."
"As for the rest of the people on the list, it doesn't matter whether they are on or off, right?"
"What are you talking about!"
As soon as these words came out, the person in charge of the Academic Affairs Department of USTC immediately shouted excitedly!
"Without the help of other comrades, how could Wei Hong complete the revision and proofreading work so quickly!"
"Everyone on the writing team has contributed to the creation of this textbook. You can't just ignore their efforts!"
"What's your name? What's your officer ID number?"
"I will protest to the Military Training Department for your irresponsible attitude! I will protest to General C!"
Section Chief: “.”
After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the section chief said a bunch of nice things and only then did the matter get away with it.
Hearing the busy tone suddenly coming from the phone, the section chief rubbed his face, his heart suddenly filled with deep helplessness.
He really wanted to ask everyone on the list except Zhao Weihong.
Compared with Zhao Weihong, don't you feel that you are "redundant"?
If he were the last person on the list, he would definitely not want to add his name!
Shame!
Who doesn't know that the most important thing about writing is "writing?"
Zhao Weihong is responsible for all the writing work alone. Doesn't this make the rest of the people seem very dispensable and just there to make up the numbers?
"Zhao Weihong"
Staring at Zhao Weihong's name, the section chief's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he took a deep breath!
"Hey?"
I saw the section chief called back.
The attitude of the Academic Affairs Department of HKUST on the other end of the phone was a little bit impolite, as if they were still indignant about the other party's "truth-telling" words!
It's true that even if everyone knows about this kind of thing, you can't say it out loud!
There are so many teachers left in the editing team, don’t they have any face to save?
However, the section chief simply ignored the other party's attitude, and instead spoke into the microphone with a slightly trembling voice and great awe.
"I'm asking."
"This Zhao Weihong shouldn't be the Zhao Weihong who just enrolled in your school this year, right?"
"What Zhao Weihong? Call her teacher! Call her editor-in-chief!"
"What's wrong with you little comrade?"
"."
Although the other party did not directly answer the section chief's question.
But those shouts of anger and scolding had already silently told the section chief the answer.
He hung up the phone with a complicated expression.
The section chief, who was just full of enthusiasm and was about to assign work, suddenly stood up and walked out of the office.
"Chief, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you were going to have a new job?"
"Don't worry about me. I'm going back to the dormitory to take a nap."
"Maybe I've been working too much overtime these days."
"It's broad daylight and I'm already hallucinating!"
Zhao Weihong didn't know yet how much shock the "afterword" he casually wrote had caused to the "young" mind of the chief of the First Section of the Arms Construction Department of the Military Training Department!
now.
He was acting as a "tour guide", accompanying Xie Guoliang as they strolled around the campus of USTC.
"Wei Hong, congratulations."
"According to the efficiency of the Military Training Department, the review can be completed before the end of the year, and the template can be printed out and sent to experts from various colleges, agencies, and research institutes for comments."
"You don't need to worry about this part."
"As far as the achievements of informationized forces are concerned, I don't think there are many so-called experts in the country who are better than you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong, who was following Xie Guoliang closely, immediately expressed his opinion very humbly.
"Thank you, Principal. It's a great compliment!"
"You are obviously from our army, but you are full of the fake politeness of Yan!"
"Yes is yes, no is no!"
"Before long, you will be a celebrity in all the major military academies!"
"Being too modest can turn into hypocrisy!"
In fact, Zhao Weihong was not being polite.
He is a very low-key person who doesn't like to show off.
Seeing Xie Guoliang say this, Zhao Weihong didn't know how to refute him and could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.
As for Xie Guoliang's "advice", Zhao Weihong had no intention of listening to it at all.
People, there is no harm in being humble and low-key.
What's more, Zhao Weihong has now passed the stage where she needs so-called "praise" to prove herself.
For Zhao Weihong.
The opinions of outsiders are totally insignificant.
It may be because I have been with the older generation such as Xie Guoliang and Deputy Chief Wei for too long.
Zhao Weihong, who already had a good family background, was deeply influenced by them.
She is still at the prime of her life.
Zhao Weihong's heart gradually developed many sacred and solemn burdens, and he would persevere in his struggle and work hard for these "burdens".
Seeing that under his temptation, Zhao Weihong still maintained his dignity and modesty.
Xie Guoliang's evaluation of Zhao Weihong suddenly became higher, and he became more determined to "take Zhao Weihong away"!
"Wei Hong, are you really not going to continue studying your model and the in-depth content that was cut from the textbook?"
"I suggest you continue to explore the existing theoretical content."
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong raised her head and suddenly looked at Xie Guoliang in surprise.
"Thank you, Principal. Didn't you and the principal discuss this issue with me?"
"After completing the editing of this textbook, I will no longer focus on exploring theoretical fields."
"After all, I'm still a student. I still have a lot to learn."
"If you don't master all the knowledge in various fields, how can you lead the troops at the grassroots level in the future?"
After making a very humorous joke, Zhao Weihong's tone suddenly became serious.
"And if we continue to study it, it won't be very meaningful anymore."
"In fact, many of the contents mentioned in this textbook, especially my model, have far exceeded the current system construction level of our country."
"If I continue to study, apart from earning a little fame for myself, the theories and contents I come up with cannot be transformed into actual work at all."
"Let me continue to indulge in this unrealistic 'glory'"
“I can’t do it!”
