Zhuang Yan raised his head from his desk and saw Li Zheng standing at the door.
"come in."
Li Zheng arrived and stood there, not daring to sit down.
Zhuang Yan raised his chin towards the chair in front of the table and gestured: "Sit."
Li Zheng put his backpack aside and sat in the chair.
Zhuang Yan has been looking at the documents.
Li Zheng's eyes glanced over. The document seemed to be the result of the integration of new equipment and tactics.
While Zhuang Yan was reading, he used a red pen to circle certain places and put question marks, as if he had his own opinions or questions about the description here.
After finishing reading a document of more than ten pages, Zhuang Yan put the document aside.
Li Zheng hurriedly corrected himself and withdrew his gaze, looking intently.
Zhuang Yan crossed his palms together, touched them lightly on the table, and finally asked: "Have they all been handed over?"
Li Zheng replied: "Handover."
Zhuang Yan stared at Li Zheng, making the latter lower his head.
"How did you become the company commander?!" Zhuang Yan's tone became serious: "You can't control your own soldiers! If there is a war, if you are allowed to command more troops, wouldn't it cause chaos?!"
Li Zheng said: "It was my fault and I take responsibility."
The solemn tone became more severe: "It's not just a word of taking responsibility that can expose the past. Fortunately, you did not cause serious consequences this time. Otherwise, no matter how high your posture is or how brave you are to take responsibility, you can't change any facts. Do you understand?"
?”
Li Zheng nodded: "Understood."
Zhuang Yan said: "You are also a master's student and have been in special operations for many years. I don't need to repeat the basic principles to you, but the problems exposed in your command this time really make me very disappointed in you!"
As he spoke, he reached out and opened the drawer on the side, took out two things from it, then placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Li Zheng.
Li Zheng looked down.
All I saw was a brocade box and a certificate.
He was very familiar with this.
Medals and certificates of first-class merit.
"This is the medal and certificate from the last Southwest Operation. The brigade originally wanted to hold a conference and award it to you personally at the meeting, but I didn't expect you to go through such a mess."
Li Zheng remained silent.
Zhuang Yan continued: "This year the headquarters will evaluate the winners of the honorary title of 'Love the Army and Practice Martial Arts Model'. The theater plans to report to you. The materials for the brigade and the army have been written for you..."
Having said this, he sighed and looked up at Li Zheng opposite.
"It's fine now. All the materials are invalid. Director Hao from the Military Ceremony and Political Department called me to cancel it. He told me six times that it was a pity. Is it a pity? It's a pity that it has no use!"
After saying that, he picked up the certificate and slapped it on the table, and stood up excitedly.
It was the first time that Li Zheng saw the brigade commander getting so angry, and he was shocked.
Zhuang Yan walked around the office with his hands behind his back, and finally walked to the window and looked into the distance.
"One more thing. I originally planned to let you be promoted to deputy battalion next year. Your qualifications are enough. Don't think about it now. Everything is put on hold. Even if I bring it up, some people will disagree with it at the team meeting."
Li Zheng sat there with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Seeing his appearance, he sighed solemnly and said: "Don't be too depressed. The treatment you are dealing with this time is temporary. After all, you did it because you wanted to save people. In principle, you also prevented the gaffe from expanding.
If you bring the criminal back, at most it will equal the merits and demerits. When the final investigation results come out, I believe that the organization will give you a fair decision, so don't take the burden."
He sat down again in his seat, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Li Zheng: "By the way, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, go home early. You have been busy enough for more than a year. Go back and see grandma."
After saying that, he opened the drawer again, took out a shopping mall stored-value card, and handed it to Li Zheng.
"The welfare card from your sister-in-law's company. The shopping mall is in G city. When you go back, you have to take the bus there and buy some things by the way. I want to give your grandma a little thought."
Li Zheng glanced at the card, which had a face value of two thousand, and said quickly: "This is too much money... Brigadier, I can't take this..."
Zhuang Yan said without even raising his eyelids: "Your sister-in-law's company benefits, they give them out every year and festival, give me a few for me to use, how can I have time to go to G city to buy them? They don't have to expire, don't be polite to me.
.”
Li Zheng had heard someone say that the brigade commander's wife was a strong woman. It was said privately that despite the brigade commander's military prowess, she was always good in the brigade, but at home her status was lower than that of the fish raised at home.
"brigadier……"
"Take it! Why are there so many nonsense! What are you afraid of using my card? Isn't it possible for my brigade commander to give you a bribe as the company commander?"
"this……"
After a few words of refusal, Li Zheng could only accept it.
He knew that the brigade commander was not just doing this to express his feelings for his grandmother, but he was also comforting himself. He was doing this to tell himself, don't worry, things will definitely end well.
"What? Still not leaving?"
He solemnly looked at Li Zheng, who was standing in front of the table without moving.
"Do you still want to make a living with me? Stop it. The political commissar wants to educate you. If he catches you, you won't be able to leave today."
Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't leave.
Zhuang Yan saw the clues and asked him: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Zheng plucked up the courage and said: "Brigadier, I want to ask you something..."
Zhuang Yan chuckled: "How refreshing. You have been a soldier for a long time and have been under my command for a long time. In my impression, you have never asked me for anything..."
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold.
"You want to plead for Shi Mingyuan, right?"
Li Zheng could only admit: "Well, brigade commander, in fact, this soldier is really a good soldier. If you train hard, he will have a lot of potential in the future. He is just a little impulsive, but it also shows that he has feelings and is like a brother to his comrades..."
"Li Zheng!"
Zhuang Yan stood up again and clapped his hands on the table.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The bang frightened Li Zheng so much that he did not dare to say anything else.
"Now, are you still trying to speak for Shi Mingyuan? Do you think you are tired of being a company commander?! Do you want to give up completely?! Is this a vegetable market? Can discipline be used for bargaining?!"
Seeing Zhuang Yan getting angry, Li Zheng's breathing quickened.
The brigade commander's aura was so strong that he felt suffocated.
However, he still gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to continue: "Brigadier, as you said, I have never asked you for anything, but I still want to say that I understand Shi Mingyuan's situation. His greatest wish is to become a professional
Soldier, if you ask him to just retire and go back, he has not even completed his second term and has no plans after returning home. As a sniper, what else can he do besides being good at shooting? He has been practicing killing people for so many years in the military camp.
, if he does not follow the right path when he returns to society, the harm will be even greater. I plead for mercy not only for his personal responsibility, but also for society..."
"That's enough! Li Zheng! Take care of yourself first!" Zhuang Yan pointed at the door: "Immediately execute the order and go home for vacation!"
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then gave a final salute and turned to leave.
"return!"
Zhuang Yan stopped him.
Li Zheng turned around with a happy face, thinking that the brigade commander was about to relent.
As a result, Zhuang Yan pointed to the things on the table: "Take your military medals and certificates! Get out of here right now!"
Li Zheng had no choice but to go back, get his things, salute again, turn around and leave.
As soon as he left, Zhuang Yan sat there and thought for a while, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
Not long after, the number was dialed.
"Lao Zhuang? What do you want from me?"
A serious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "If you have nothing to do, can't you chat with your old comrades?"
"Hahahaha!" Serious laughed on the other end of the phone: "You, tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Yan stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point: "Our old comrades, I won't go round and round, let's just talk about it. Li Zheng in my brigade and his soldier named Shi Mingyuan. Have you heard about them?"
Alright?"
"How could you not have heard of it? Strictly speaking, the nature of this matter is very bad."
Changing the topic seriously, he added: "Li Zheng is fine. I have read the report. If you look at it from another angle, he has done meritorious service. The problem is only the leadership's responsibility and failure to control his own soldiers."
"I'm not doing it for his sake. According to the handling procedures, his problem is not big. I'm doing it for that soldier," Zhuang Yan said.
He said solemnly: "Shi Mingyuan? Your own opinions are very important. What? Do you need me to do your work?"
Zhuang Yan said: "The main reason is that this matter has reached a war zone, and now it is not decided by my personal opinion."
He said seriously: "Lao Zhuang, are you sure you want to protect this soldier who keeps calling him?"
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said: "I understand Shi Mingyuan's situation. His biggest wish is to be a professional soldier. If you ask him to retire and go back, he has not even completed his second term. He has no plans after returning home. He is a sniper.
, besides being good at shooting, what else can you do? After so many years in the military camp, you have practiced the ability to kill people. If you don't follow the right path when you return to society, it will be more harmful. I plead for mercy not only for his personal responsibility, but also for society...
