This time when we returned to the base, Commander Zhang did not have a detailed discussion with me as before. He just sent a staff officer to the battalion headquarters to praise our combined battalion and hold a celebration banquet by the way.≈∞Ting≈ ∞ point≈∞small≈∞ says,ww∽w.23○wx.co≦m
As for meritorious service... Our troops in the combined battalion have fought too many battles. If we really want to count the merits, everyone has a share, so we take it lightly, and our superiors don't know how to evaluate it. It’s law.
But I can also understand why Commander Zhang didn't talk to me in detail this time... In the past, he always grabbed me and asked me everything after returning from a battle. His purpose was not to care about a battle on this battlefield. Or the outcome of a battle, although this is also very important, after all, it has no direct relationship with Commander Zhang, and it is also a battle or battle that has ended. The victory or defeat has long been a foregone conclusion. No matter how detailed it is, it cannot affect the situation of the battle.
The reason Commander Zhang wants to know these things is that he wants to see the direction of military reform from our army, or to verify whether his reform ideas are right or wrong.
From this point of view, the military reform has now passed the stage of major reforms and special reforms, that is, the direction and strategic things have been determined, and now it is more about how to implement them.
Therefore, it seems that Commander Zhang no longer needs to understand the battle history of the combined battalion in detail.
What I don't know is that Commander Zhang is actually not entirely motivated by this... It has long been one of his habits for the synthetic battalion to talk to me about the battle process every time he comes back from an expedition. According to him, it can be done on one hand. He understands modern warfare better so that he can keep up with the times. On the other hand, he also chats and relaxes. Occasionally, he also recalls his days on the battlefield.
The reason why Commander Zhang did not talk to me in detail this time was simply because he was so busy with the disarmament and withdrawal of troops that he could not spare any time.
It is conceivable that in the next two years (it took two years to complete the reduction of millions of troops in history), the entire army will not have an easy life. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and a considerable part of the cuts are from organs. For the cadres here, as the superiors said, "This is a job that offends people," so it was really difficult to choose.
Of course, there is a saying that "the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds." When there are more people in the army, a strange phenomenon will naturally occur. For example, some people are recruited from one line judge to another. many.
However, it is naturally not a wise move to "commit a crime against the wind" like this. You must know that these millions of disarmament are carried out as a "task". The superiors attach great importance to it and their determination is extraordinary. Those who have a lucky mentality Those who thought it was just a gust of wind and that things would be fine after the storm passed quickly quickly paid the price, and what awaited them would only be severe punishment.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with our combined battalion. If they are relevant, it is that we have more soldiers to choose from, and the elimination system for the last place is becoming more and more cruel... We have just been back for more than a week and there are three members of the special agent company. Being eliminated.
This result surprised me a little. You know that all the soldiers in the special agent company are experienced in many battles. How could such a situation happen?
When I think about it later, I don’t think it’s strange. It’s still the same saying, “The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.” China has a lot of people, and when there are more people, there will naturally be all kinds of talents. In the past, these talents would have to be
We have worked hard to poach corners from other troops, but now we are experiencing a major disarmament... When we know that there is still a way to go through our combined battalion, those soldiers who feel that they have "two skills" basically want to try it.
On the other hand, it is precisely because Heshengying has experienced hundreds of battles.
Having been through hundreds of battles, although you have gained experience, you still have to be more or less injured every time you come off the battlefield, sometimes lightly and sometimes more severely... What I am talking about here is that I can still stay in the army and continue.
Battle injuries, if the injury is too serious, most of the time you will have to be demobilized.
If these small injuries and pains are just a single one, they are nothing. For example, some are just rheumatism that was contracted when the ears were pierced. The weather is not good and the pain will pass. Another example is that there are still a few small pieces of shrapnel in the body.
It has not been removed cleanly, etc., but over time all the injuries, big and small, combined, will have a great impact on the health of the body.
For example, one of Xu Min's soldiers who was eliminated this time... He has been following me since I became the platoon leader, so I know him very well. As his name suggests, he is very agile and was bombarded by the enemy in the position.
He could easily jump back and forth during the bombardment. One time, when he was bombarding the enemy with artillery shells and couldn't see clearly, he rushed to the Vietnamese army bunker between the shells and stuffed the explosive package inside.
But there is a saying that "a good swimmer drowns in the water." Xu Min can be said to be quick in success or failure. Just because he often does such things, there are still more than ten pieces of shrapnel in his body that cannot be removed. He still has
He laughed at himself and said that it would be heavier if weighed this way.
I always thought it was nothing, but I didn’t know until now... In fact, he was in pain so much that he couldn’t sleep every night but never said a word, just so that he could continue to stay in the army.
But it turns out that keeping silent is not an option, because no one can withstand such a torment. Even an iron man cannot persist in this situation. Even if his willpower can persist, his body cannot... So, in
In the final elimination round held this time, he, who has always been known for his agility and speed, actually fainted halfway through the five-kilometer cross-country race.
The situation of the other two people was similar, both had physical problems caused by injuries.
When I faced them, I felt guilty because I was unwilling to let them leave the army just like this... This was not just because they wanted to stay in the army, but also because they were part of the combined battalion and part of the combined battalion.
Precious wealth.
But I have to do it.
On the one hand, this is because I have to abide by the system I set. On the other hand, I don’t want to see them dragging their bodies like this onto the battlefield... This will only harm them. The battlefield will not be affected by the mistakes they have made.
No matter how many injuries or achievements they have made, they will be treated specially.
"Let's go!" When these three soldiers stood in front of me, I only said one thing to them: "Go to Advanced Company and work hard. When you save enough money, find a wife and live a good life!"
The three soldiers burst into tears, but they did not cry. They just nodded silently, wiped their tears with their sleeves, saluted uprightly in front of me, and then picked up their luggage.
Got into the car.
This is the military-style difference. Everything is kept silent. Long-term cooperative operations have made us spiritually connected with each other. We don’t have to say what we think in our hearts. Everyone knows and understands.
The only thing that makes me feel lucky is that I also run an advanced wholesale company.
With it, soldiers will not have nothing but pain when they leave the army, and they will not have to worry about what they can do when they enter society.
From this, I couldn't help but think of the soldiers of other armies... You must know that this is a reduction of one million soldiers in two years. Originally, there were a large number of unemployed people in Chinese society at this time. The reduction of one million soldiers meant that
The already severe employment situation and the affected social security have become even worse.
But fortunately, I know that China will pass this test, and not only can it pass this test, but in modern times, it will even surpass many countries and successfully become the world's second largest economy.
However, at this moment, a piece of news came that I least wanted to hear.
"Battal Commander, Yang Xian called." As soon as the car carrying the three soldiers drove away, Zhao Jingping ran to me and reported: "It sounds like there is an emergency..."
An ominous premonition arises spontaneously... Yang Xianxian has rarely contacted us recently. Part of the reason for this is that the society is cracking down on economic crimes during this period, although we have not done anything illegal.
, but at this time, pocket crimes such as speculation can contain anything, so it is always right to be careful and keep a low profile.
Therefore, if he is so anxious to contact me now, he must have encountered some unsolvable problem.
Unfortunately, I got what I said. When I picked up the phone, I heard Yang Xianxian on the other end say: "Batalion Commander, I'm sorry, I can't hold on anymore!"
"What's going on?" I asked, "Why can't I hold on?!"
"There is a problem with corn!" Yang Xianxian said with some embarrassment: "It's my fault. I saw that selling corn to Hong Kong can make money, but Xianjin Company is losing money... so I shifted my focus to corn reselling.
And it’s getting bigger and bigger. Because we are ahead of the curve, more than half of the feedlots now buy corn from us. But..."
"But what?"
"But the Hong Kong media recently exposed that carcinogens were found in chicken feed." Yang Xianxian said helplessly: "As a result, Hong Kong people stopped eating chicken overnight, which directly led to our corn being unable to be sold...
"
After hearing this, I understood, which is why I said before that selling feed is a risky business.
"How much did you lose?" I asked.
"It's so generous..." Yang Xianxian replied with difficulty: "One million and one hundred thousand."
"What? One million and one million?!" This can be considered an astronomical figure in this era.
"Yes!" Yang Xianxian sighed: "Before, we used to resell corn to support the operation of Advanced Company. In addition, I was eager to expand my business by reselling corn, so there was not much capital left.
We have lost more than one million, but the corn we ordered is still coming in more and more..."
In fact, Yang Xianjin cannot be blamed for this. He is a businessman. Seeing that the corn reselling business is so good, he will naturally do this. Businessmen are all profit-seeking. No one could have imagined that there would be such an emergency, just like we did on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese Japanese would suddenly take out anti-aircraft missiles. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
