The news was quickly conveyed by the cadres, just as I expected... The donation action received widespread support from the soldiers, and the donation was unprecedentedly enthusiastic... The soldiers almost just saved all the money they saved.
I took it out... Later I found out that some of the soldiers even called their families to ask for money to donate because they had no money to donate... They told their family that they were buying cigarettes, which directly led to him not having any money for several months.
Can smoke!
Of course, I, the battalion commander, were no exception. I also emptied my pocket and donated all the money... But if I were talking about everything, I was actually only a pitiful five dollars... and the soldiers usually donated
Ten or twenty yuan, which made me, the battalion leader, feel dim on my face!
But I can't blame me... On the one hand, the subsidies for me as a battalion commander are not more than others. The troops of this era emphasize equality between officers and soldiers, not only military uniforms, but also subsidies... This is why Commander Zhang
As a commander, the reason why he is so nervous.
On the other hand... it's because I don't have the habit of saving money.
Actually... we usually don't have much chance to spend money in the army. The food is in the cafeteria, the military uniform will be distributed, and a few packs of cigarettes will be given every month... These cigarettes are also due to the sniper company.
Implementing a comprehensive smoking cessation and there is a surplus... The soldiers of the sniper company use their cigarettes to exchange money and goods with soldiers from other troops. Where money is needed...at most, sometimes they want to eat some fruit or buy some beef.
Some of the tooth-beating sacrifices are so much that they spend extra money to buy cigarettes because of their addiction!
However, the burden on the soldiers is not just that... the family is still elderly parents, brothers and sisters who want to go to school, or they have wives and children... We are a big man who comes to fight, and the few people in the family are waiting eagerly.
Let’s make a spoil for our subsidies!
So the soldiers saved the subsidies... basically saved them and sent them to their homes. You must know that this is our life-long money... It is just enough to save enough family life!
And I... I am a bachelor, and I only spend it alone... But in fact, I am not alone. Many people in the camp are busy because their families are tight, so they are basically all touched.
I don’t touch it. So I often ask the guards to buy some apples, oranges and other things, and when I arrive at the camp, I will put it casually... Let everyone eat it together!
Anyway, we don’t have to worry about eating in the army? When the money is spent, we will not eat fruits!
So... at this time I could only donate this five yuan. This is because I just finished the subsidy...
Fortunately, the soldiers also knew where I spent the money, so they could understand it... Otherwise, I would be really shameless to face these soldiers under my command!
What moved me was that many soldiers were reluctant to remember their names when they donated this money. According to their statement, "It is necessary to do something for their demobilized comrades. What name do you still remember?
Needless to say, I won’t pay it back in the future!”
But because the person who registered his name was the instructor of his company, he still knew who donated it even if he didn't report it... So I still remember this account book clearly!
When the final amount was arrived at the battalion headquarters... it was the previous amount of the accounts compiled by each company. The total amount was more than 18,000 yuan... On average, each person donated nearly 20 yuan.
Of course, I don’t need to deal with these statistical work. Zhao Jingping and the staff of the battalion department will naturally sort them out clearly!
What surprised me was that... the superiors also supported our donation action...
Actually, this is the instructor's idea... I originally thought that our superiors could be said to be the headquarters, and there is no need to report to the headquarters for small matters like donations! But the instructor insisted that there was no way to report it.
Wrong, let alone this is a good thing, not a bad thing, if you don’t report it... it will be different if you pass it on from others!
So in the end we gave a brief report to the headquarters.
The facts proved that the instructor's idea was also correct... because the headquarters soon returned the message: agreed to donate, and the headquarters donated a side three-wheeler to the veteran on behalf of all the soldiers in the military region!
What? Three wheels?!!
This is a good thing... You know we are missing a means of transportation to run business or transport goods... We started the company first, and the business volume was not very large at the beginning. The three-wheeled thing is used to transport goods.
It can be said that it is just right... If it doesn't work, just transform the side tricycle into a tricycle... Anyway, the traffic police are not that strict in this era, and they won't be able to catch any modified agricultural vehicles!
On the other hand, demobilized soldiers are very familiar with the three-wheel operation here. They drive it and take two people to contact the manufacturer or self-employed, which is a good thing to support the storefront... When the manufacturer and self-employed look...
, This is still riding a motorcycle, and it must be a big customer with funds and strength...
That must be a joke for us modern times... What is the side three wheels? Who doesn't have a motorcycle at home yet? But for this era when riding a bicycle is cool... the side three wheels are just
It's enough to make others envious, jealous and hateful!
So this is a timely help for us...
But after thinking about it, I thought that this might be because Commander Zhang intended it... He might have known from somewhere that the purpose of our donation was to help demobilized soldiers open a company, so he would not donate anything else.
Just donate a side three-wheeler!
From this perspective... nothing in our synthesis camp can't escape Commander Zhang's eyes! I actually feel a little uncomfortable with this... It's not because Commander Zhang, but thinking about living together.
Among the brothers who died together... there will be people who report to Commander Zhang!
But when I think about it, I feel it's not surprising... All the people around me, such as the staff, instructors, howitzer battalions, erratic gun companies... and even the new helicopter company were arranged by Commander Zhang, let alone he formed the
Our synthetic battalion is originally intended to track the training of our troops and move to other troops as they grow. So how can he not monitor the synthetic battalion?
Thinking of this... I in turn my admiration for Commander Zhang has deepened a little more... In other words, from the beginning to the end, he has a certain understanding of the actions of our troops and even various decisions in Afghanistan. But he
I just can do nothing... let me do whatever I want!
This may be the so-called "do not doubt people, don't doubt people"!
