No one doubted that the news brought by Shen Xiao was wrong. After all, he had just returned from the Capital Cadre School.
"You all heard it! Captain Shen came back from training in the capital, and his news was one step ahead of us. The Corps' restructuring is an inevitable trend of history. As soldiers, our duty is to obey orders."
Political Commissar Hou put pressure on everyone as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone looked at him with a bit of impatience.
The information we have received is that cadres above the battalion level will be uniformly deployed by the military region, and officers and soldiers below the battalion level will be transferred to local jobs.
What worries everyone is whether the battalion-level cadres on the border are among those who will be transferred to civilian jobs. Shen Xiao couldn't give an accurate answer, and everyone was extremely panicked.
At this time, Political Commissar Hou started to speak at length again. He was used to talking about big principles and liked to put accusations on people.
Talking about this again now, the faces of several battalion commanders all looked unhappy.
"Obey orders? You're not the one going back to your hometown to farm, so of course you're happy to obey orders. I've been guarding the border for ten years, and eight years ago I was transferred to this godforsaken place to cultivate the land. I've dedicated my whole life, and now you're telling me not to do it? Why?"
"Asshole! Huang Yunfei, you must remember your identity! If you dare to talk nonsense and disrupt the morale of the army again, I will put you in solitary confinement!"
Hou Santong didn't expect that Captain Huang would be so disrespectful to him and dare to go against him in front of so many people.
"Put me in solitary confinement, I'm not afraid of you! Hou Santong, don't think you're a good person. I was wondering why you sent your wife and children to Shenyang. It turns out you knew about it a long time ago. Your brother-in-law is in the Shenyang Military Region, and he passed the news to you a long time ago."
Everyone looked at Political Commissar Hou in surprise. His face turned red and he slammed the table in anger.
"Bullshit! I never knew about this, you're talking nonsense! My wife couldn't stand the climate here, so she took the children back to Shenyang."
"Stop talking nonsense! The climate here has always been like this. How could she have tolerated it before but not now? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Captain Huang was furious and realized that Political Commissar Hou had already planned this and made preparations in advance.
"My son got asthma this year. The doctor suggested that he go back to his hometown to recuperate, so my wife took him back! You saw Xiaogang's attack. This is just a coincidence!"
Hou Santong looked helpless and could only explain to Commander Zheng and other battalion commanders and instructors.
Captain Zheng also knew that everyone was very anxious at this time. Captain Huang is a rough man, and when he gets stubborn, even a few oxen can't pull him back.
"Look at the way you look now. Do you still look like a soldier? Where is this place? This is my military camp, not a place for gossip! The way you look now proves that it is wise and correct to disband the corps."
Captain Huang said nothing, for he knew that he had made a very disgraceful move. But he felt unbalanced and was holding a grudge that he couldn't get out until he let it out.
Political Commissar Hou also had a sullen face, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
8 years, a full 8 years. The Corps built up the barren Great Northern Wilderness bit by bit with their own hands.
Just when the hard times were over, these soldiers had to retire and return to the countryside.
But what else could he do?
The abolition of the Corps is the general trend and an objective requirement of historical development. He fully agrees with it and must obey it!
"As the political commissar, I failed to mobilize the comrades and calm their emotions. This is my work error. I need to reflect on myself and criticize myself. Captain Huang, I apologize to you."
Political Commissar Hou took the initiative to apologize, and Captain Huang also felt embarrassed.
"Comrade Political Commissar, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. This time it was me, Huang Yunfei, who was unreasonable. I should apologize to you and my sister-in-law. I'm a rough man and don't know what to say. Anyway, whether you're put in solitary confinement or beaten with a military stick, I accept it!"
Huang Yunfei had a rude look on his face. He clenched his fists and punched himself twice while speaking.
Everyone was amused by his reckless behavior, and the tense atmosphere in the meeting room was swept away.
Shen Xiao also laughed and glanced at Captain Jiang who was sitting in the upper seat.
The document to dissolve the Corps was issued by the Provincial Military Region long before New Year's Day.
The two old foxes, Captain Jiang and Political Commissar Hou, have been keeping the secret secret for fear that it would cause instability in the military morale if it were exposed in advance.
The two leaders wanted everyone to have a good year, so they announced this matter after the Spring Festival.
Unexpectedly, someone had already received the news from other places, and the people in the military camp were in a panic. Even someone like Captain Huang was leading the trouble, and it looked like the situation was about to get out of control.
Taking advantage of the meeting, the two old foxes staged a drama.
The play was extremely crude, but it successfully calmed the emotions of the troublemaker Captain Huang.
Shen Xiao sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Captain Shen, what are you laughing at?"
Captain Jiang keenly caught Shen Xiao's smirk and immediately questioned loudly.
Political Commissar Hou said in great tacit agreement: "Captain Shen went to the capital for further studies, so he must have thought of a way to get out of this predicament. Shen Xiao, please tell the brothers how to get out of this predicament."
Huang Yunfei's eyes flickered to Shen Xiao's face, and everyone was staring at Shen Xiao expectantly.
Shen Xiao was speechless by everyone's actions.
The two old foxes diverted the trouble to themselves and with just a few words they made these reckless men shift their attention to themselves.
"Why don't you contact your original unit? If you can be transferred back..."
Captain Jiang nodded, with no surprise on his face, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Yes, getting the transfer procedures of the old unit before it is officially abolished is indeed the best way."
Shen Xiao's words surprised everyone, and the team leader's affirmation gave everyone great courage.
The reckless men, led by Captain Huang, stood up suddenly, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Following his lead, others followed suit and ran out.
Shen Xiao turned to look at the regiment commander and found that he was not angry at all. Instead, he and Political Commissar Hou smiled at each other.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had solved a big problem.
The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beams are crooked. Military discipline is lax, the Corps' economy is declining, and military morale is unstable. These are the main reasons why the Corps had to be disbanded, and the root cause of these problems is the major loopholes in management.
For these people, corruption and abuse of power for personal gain have become the norm. They do not want to change their careers, not because they are reluctant to give up their military uniforms, but because they do not want to lose their power.
Greed has expanded these people's tastes. In order to stay in the army, they will try every possible means like headless flies.
Shen Xiao was expecting those who smuggled drugs and sold information to reveal their true colors.
After all, there is not much time left for these people.
Shen Xiao had a hunch that among these people who showed off their magical powers, there must be that
The bastard he didn't catch.
