In fact, the training work didn't wait for us to reach the next day. That night, Major Will called me to the office...
"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Major Will said: "I believe you have obtained the equipment and have a preliminary understanding of these equipment. I have heard of your performance on the shooting range and did a good job!"
"Sorry!" I said, "I didn't mean to be in trouble with your soldiers!"
"No, no, no..." Major Will replied with a smile: "No need to say sorry, on the contrary, I am very satisfied with your performance. In fact, I am still surprised by your ability, and four bullets are just right now.
It is possible to master the ballistics of a sniper rifle, and then every bullet hits the target accurately. This is not something that everyone can do, at least I have not seen it yet!"
"Thank you!" As the saying goes, follow the local customs. I have learned some English and of course I know that at this time, I should not answer "awarded" or "whatever" like the Chinese.
But when he said this, he soon realized that he had shown his strength again. Sure enough, Lin Xia, who was a translator, had a strange look in her eyes again.
"On the other hand!" Major Will continued: "Your performance is exactly what we hope. Our instructors usually give them a warning when training recruits, so that the recruits can be trained in the future training life
More obedient, it is obvious that you have done this!" "Comrade Battalion Commander!" Then Major Will piled a thick stack of documents in front of me and said, "This is the army we allocated to you, a total of one
Hundred and thirty-three people, I'll hand them over to you!"
I flipped through it casually and saw the photos and information of the one hundred and thirty-three people.
What surprised me was that all these materials were written in Chinese. It was obvious that Major Will had someone re-edited in Chinese to facilitate my reading.
"When will you start training?" I asked casually.
"If you can..." Major Will said: "You can start training tonight!"
"Tonight?" I couldn't help but wonder: "Will the cruise ship arrive at South Georgia Island tonight?"
"South George Island?" Major Will couldn't help but wonder: "What does this have to do with South George Island?"
I felt a little incredible when I heard this: "If we didn't log in to South Georgia... then how can we start training? Where can we train?"
Major Will's face was full of surprise and made me realize that they had no intention of landing in South Georgia for training. Sure enough, the next second I heard Major Will answer: "Comrade Battalion Commander, South Georgia does not seem to be an ideal one.
The reason for the training ground is that we just took down this island, and the environment on the island is very harsh. Not only is the temperature below zero, but there are also uncleared mines everywhere. There are even many residual Argentina in the snow.
People, we can only ensure the safety of a small number of areas for the time being…”
"Gay Major!" I interrupted Major Will and said, "My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours. It is precisely because of this that this South Georgia Island is our ideal training base!"
"What?" Major Will was puzzled by my words.
"Is the climate of South Georgia similar to that of Malvinas?" I asked.
"Of course!" Major Will replied: "They are only one thousand three hundred kilometers apart!"
"Does the Argentine troops and mines on the Island of Horse Island have more and more dangerous than the Argentine troops on the Island of South Georgia?"...
Upon hearing this, Major Will nodded: "I understand what you mean. You hope to put British soldiers in a more cruel and dangerous place to train so that they can adapt to those harsh environments as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" I said: "South George Island is the best choice!"
"But this is likely to cause casualties to soldiers!"
"Maybe!" I replied: "I can't guarantee that there will be no casualties in training on South George Island, but I can guarantee that when you send these soldiers to the Horse Island to fight, they will have smaller casualties after doing so.
Complete the task!"
Anyone can figure this out. After previewing this in a dangerous place in South Georgia, you can almost say that you have had practical experience. Then when they board the Horse Island again, they will naturally not be like the first time they boarded the island.
The rookies on the battlefield were panicked like rookies. And these were definitely not something that could be practiced on the ship where you almost didn't have to worry about your life safety.
After thinking about it, Major Will nodded: "You are right! We are facing war now. If we have to face war, we cannot avoid risks. Tonight I will recommend the general to land on South Georgia Island.
Organize your troops. Comrade Battalion Commander!"
"Yes!" I responded and took Lin Xia out.
"Battery Commander!" In the aisle, Lin Xia chased after a few steps from behind and asked, "Have the battalion commander learned English?"
"Nothing!" I said to myself, but I still answered with a relaxed look on my face: "Why would you ask this? Do I seem to have learned English as a terrifying eighth party leader like me?"
"The battalion commander is not the Eighth Route Army!" Lin Xia said: "I always feel that the battalion commander is a little different from others, such as what he said, and how he talks to Major Will. For example, the comrades all look down on me, and the camp is not as good as the one who has given me a look down on me.
You won't...
"What are you saying?" I interrupted Lin Xia and said, "It's all my own comrades. How could they look down on you? They're doing it for your own good!"
"I know!" Lin Xia lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "But they all think I can't stand the temptation of capitalism. She is a person with a weak position. Even if I don't say it on the surface, I think so in my heart. But I know...
Battalion Commander, you don’t think so!”
"Actually, I can understand what you young people think!" I smiled and shook my head and said, "You are not actually like what Staff Zhao said, like capitalism. You are actually patriotic in your heart, just
The way of patriotism is not much the same, right!"
"Yes!" Lin Xia's eyes quickly recovered.
"You also think that if you are patriotic, you should find a way to make the country strong and the people rich, right!"
"Yes!" Lin Xia nodded vigorously.
"You also think that although we soldiers are commendable, the role we can play in the country's development path is very limited, because we are not well-educated in culture, not open-minded enough, and have not changed the country's kind of thing.
Consciousness only knows how to do things according to the commands of superiors, but will not find a better, more reasonable and faster path. As high-level intellectuals, you can do this with the advantages of knowledge.
Bar!"
"Battery Commander!" Lin Xia looked at me with an incredible look and asked, "How come you know everything?"
I just smiled and didn't answer. As a modern person, it would be better if I didn't know this?
At the same time, this is also a means for me to do ideological work... If you want to convince someone or want to change his deep-rooted thoughts, especially the thoughts of the younger generation, then don't try to tell him this directly
If that doesn’t work, young people are full of energy, and the result of doing so will often backfire.
Just like Zhao Jingping, he used a rough way to criticize Lin Xia. Unexpectedly, he was resisted by Lin Xia, and even had a rebellious mentality... It was not like Zhao Jingping.
As I said, Zhao Jingping insisted on doing this for you to see if he was criticized by this!
So the best solution is to first express understanding of their ideas, express their thoughts and resonate with them, and then it will be much easier to do this ideological work.
"The battalion commander is right!" Lin Xia said excitedly: "Actually, it's not just me, many of us think so. Sometimes we are wondering why countries like Britain and the United States are so rich and have so advanced technology.
The military is so powerful, but our country is far behind. I believe that these things can not be achieved by working hard, but need to learn the strengths of countries such as the United States and Britain and learn their methods of governing the country..."
"It's right to learn their strengths!" I said: "But this method of governing the country..."
I smiled and stopped talking.
This is another clever thing for me. When reasoning with these young people, don’t pour out all your belongings like preaching. The reason is that young people’s thoughts are often prejudiced.
Some people who do not match their views tend to suffer from insomnia.
In other words, if they are in a hurry to pour it out, it is very likely that they have not listened to anything.
But it would be different if the other party aroused the other party's curiosity and asked by themselves. At least he would listen and take some time to consider whether this is reasonable.
Sure enough, Lin Xia asked immediately: "Does the battalion commander have a different view on this? I don't think there is anything right!"
"There is a very simple truth!" I said: "There is no omnipotent method in this world. Just like your learning method, the same learning method is suitable for these people but not necessarily for others. Lin Xia
Comrade, you are a college student. You have been studying for more than ten years and have many classmates. Of course, you know that not all of your classmates with good grades use the same learning method, right!"
"That's true!" Lin Xia nodded.
"So!" I said: "You must know one thing: the system suitable for the United States, Britain and other countries may not be suitable for China. Especially the differences between Chinese and Western countries in culture, social environment, etc. can be said to be a world of difference, which can be said to be a world of difference.
In other cases, do you think we can use the same method?”)
