Chapter 252: Meeting an old friend again, Xiaoman, who is quick-witted
When coming to the military area, the road ahead was unclear. Even Chen Mo himself was not sure how this matter would end.
After all, asking for foreign aid through the Military Academy is only a temporary decision. It is not certain whether it can play a decisive role, or whether it can suppress the several leaders who came here today to question the charges.
These are all unknowns.
Now that the matter has been resolved, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After coming out of the military administrative building, Chen Mo held his forehead and felt really exhausted.
Dealing with this bunch of old men for most of the day is much more tiring than running ten kilometers. Even talking is not as comfortable as usual and requires careful consideration.
It's really tiring.
"Then Chen Ying, I'll go back and pack my luggage. See you later."
"Okay, no rush, let's meet up at the gate later."
"Can."
Fang Peijun, who came out with them, said hello and hurried away in the direction of the Political Department.
Wang Jianyong, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time, saw the scholar come out.
He also ran over quickly, first carefully observing Chen Mo's expression to make sure he didn't see anything, then he said: "Battalion Commander, what did the higher-ups say this time?"
"Can anyone give it to us?"
"It's not a big deal."
Chen Mo smiled and pointed to the gate in the distance: "The military district has assigned us an instructor, from the Propaganda Bureau of the Political Department. Drive the car to the gate and wait."
"We'll go back with the instructor later."
"Hey, alright!!"
There is no need for detailed explanation. Just arranging political cadres to the demonstration camp has already explained a lot of problems.
At least at the military district level, people have begun to really pay attention to the issue of building camps.
Chen Mo is not as optimistic as Wang Jianyong.
When Fang Peijun reunited with his luggage, he sat in the back seat thinking about the next construction issues.
As long as a large number of officers and backbones are in place, the battalion-level organizational structure can be established.
If nothing unexpected happens along the way, the camp will be built at a rapid pace in the next few months. With no shortage of equipment and personnel, the unit will surely be in full swing.
Construction, running-in, and sorting out are the focus of subsequent work.
But there are also many difficulties.
The Non-commissioned Officer Academy will continue to use the Taishan base. Even if the academy area is expanded, it will be difficult to support the logistics, equipment, personnel, funding, team site division and other issues involved in the entire battalion.
In addition, I have been busy with backbone affairs in recent times and have not had time to visit the college to see the expansion situation. Even the assigned howitzer battalion camp has not been properly planned.
Just think about the problems you will face later.
Chen Mo felt a headache. If he wanted to sort out his subsequent ideas, he had to distinguish the primary from the secondary and figure out which one was the absolute efficiency and priority principle.
Think of the place where it started.
Chen Mo simply found a notebook in the car and used a pencil to list dozens of tasks that needed to be done, big and small, as if writing a work diary.
Fang Peijun, who was sitting next to him, watched carefully, but he did not tilt his head much, trying his best not to make any noise and affect Chen Mo's recording.
Wang Jianyong sat in the driver's seat and drove the car, turning his head from time to time to see the cooperation between the two people in the back seat.
Seeing such tacit understanding, even he breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, in Lao Wang's impression, although Xiucai usually behaves in a more easy-going manner, he has very righteous ideas.
I often act on impulse.
If the political cadres arranged by higher authorities cannot guarantee smooth cooperation, the two may have disagreements.
Then the camp, which had just gained some popularity, would likely fall into a new predicament again.
There is nothing wrong with long-term cooperation, but in the initial adjustment period, someone needs to be tough and someone needs to be able to take a step back to ensure that the work goes smoothly.
It was still morning when Chen Mo left for the military region. When he came back, it was almost dark and he could just make it in time for dinner.
The vehicle stopped in front of the administrative building.
Chen Mo pushed the door open and got out of the car, holding the record book in his hand, and casually said, "Squad leader, you will arrange accommodation for the instructors below."
"Then remember to register with the company commander. When you have time, take the instructor around the camp and explain the situation."
"I'm going to find Commander Wang."
"Okay, don't worry."
Wang Jianyong patted his chest and responded as if to make a promise.
Chen Mo nodded to Fang Peijun, then turned and ran towards the administrative building.
If all the companies are in place and need joint training and command, Chen Mo thinks he is quite capable of doing this.
After all, with the experience of leading the Blue Army Camp before, it was not difficult to support it.
But when it comes to problems in the early stages of building the camp, Chen Mo is no match for them. There is a colonel at the division level in the camp who eats and drinks for free all day long.
It’s a waste if you don’t use it.
Based on the principle that there is nothing wrong in asking for advice, Chen Mo went to find Wang Songhe before he even reached Lao Wang's office.
I ran into Man Xuexi, who was walking downstairs with an aluminum lunch box in his hand. It seemed that he was going to eat.
"Why are you eating so late? There are cutlery in the cafeteria, so just eat there."
Chen Mo casually said hello and was about to continue upstairs when Man Xuexue asked in confusion: "Captain, what are you going upstairs for?"
"Looking for Commander Wang." Chen Mo responded.
"Then you have to go to the cafeteria."
When he learned that the battalion commander was looking for Wang Songhe, Man Xuexue raised the lunch box in his hand helplessly: "Commander Wang's family came to see him. I heard it's his daughter."
"Everyone in our entire camp is almost hanging around the cafeteria right now."
"Old Wang's daughter?" Chen Mo blurted out the words when he heard it, and didn't even call him the commander.
Speaking of Wang Songhe's daughter, Chen Mo actually had some impression of her. He seemed to have coordinated a can of tea before, which was given by this daughter.
He almost got beaten up at that time. The old man really doted on his daughter.
"Why did she come to our camp?" Chen Mo was a little curious.
"I'm not sure." Man Xuexue shook his head. "I heard he was admitted to Jinyang Medical University this year. He came here right after the summer break and military training."
"Jinyang Medical University."
When Chen Mo heard the name of this academy, he was obviously stunned and stood still without moving.
He is not unfamiliar with this college.
In 2002 in his previous life, he had just achieved some results in a war debate competition and was taken to the military region by his old leader.
I once met a female comrade in the military district’s security training team.
At that time, the development of the information system was in its infancy, and the first batch of national defense students was about to graduate and join the troops. The military region strongly encouraged highly educated talents to join the army.
In addition to national defense students, conscription policies are also promoted in major universities to encourage college students to join the army.
The female comrade Chen Mo knew was a member of the Second Medical Training Team of the Military Region in 2002. She also entered Jinyang Medical University in 1999. In 2002, in response to the national call, college students joined the army.
I remember it was September. Chen Mo, who was only 22 years old, was noticed by the leader and taken to the confidential department to serve as a confidential secretary.
He is truly a young and successful man, full of energy and ambition, and he looks so impressive even when he walks on the street.
When he went to the security training team to retrieve the files, due to his lack of experience, he did not call anyone in advance, and there was no one on duty when he arrived there.
Chen Mo sat on the curb of the flower bed of the Guard Training Team, waiting while watching the people from the second team training.
When the second team took a break, several female comrades ran to rest under the shade of a tree. A student named Wang Luyi stared at him for a long time.
Even today, decades have passed.
Chen Mo still remembers it clearly. The female student asked him if he was from the same team and why there were cadres from the security training team here.
I was also bored at that time, so I chatted with the other party for a long time, and before we parted, we even left our respective phone numbers.
We didn't have much contact during that period.
After the training of the medical training team was completed, Wang Luyi was assigned to the logistics and medical team. Due to his academic qualifications, it was easy for him to be promoted in the environment at that time.
When Wang Luyi awarded him the rank of lieutenant, Chen Mo was already a captain. He even brought beer and some snacks and ran to the office to celebrate his promotion with him.
But at that time, the old leader was no longer in the army.
Chen Mo, the once glorious confidential secretary, is now just an ordinary cadre in the agency.
I was feeling a bit depressed and only managed to attend the appointment reluctantly. I even needed a lesbian to guide me.
later.
Chen Mo was promoted to major according to his years of service. Wang Luyi did a good job in the medical team, and his rank in the logistics department was promoted quickly.
The other party also caught up.
However, Chen Mo was already disheartened at that time. Having been a marginal figure in the agency for many years had created a huge gap in his heart.
Just as the organization was undergoing restructuring, Chen Mo submitted his application for transfer. Many of his former friends advised him not to leave the army.
The agency is not very busy and it is a stable job after all. Even if I want to transfer to civilian work, I have to wait a few more years to see if I can be promoted to lieutenant colonel.
If you go to the local area, you can also get a good job and your salary will be slightly higher.
Wang Luyi also ran over to persuade him, and more than once.
But it's no use.
After his transfer application was approved, Chen Mo took the initiative to buy some beer, and Xiaocai went to say goodbye to Wang Lu.
That was the only time he treated others to a meal in those years.
It’s not that Chen Mo is stingy, but for him, there is nothing worth celebrating.
There is a reason why young people cannot achieve success, and it can easily make people completely depressed.
That night, the two talked a lot, even touching on the topic of marriage.
However, Chen Mo was a deserter that time. He did not respond or make any promises. After dawn, he packed his luggage and returned to his hometown to work in the department he had transferred to.
One year after changing jobs.
Wang Luyi contacted him very frequently, asking about his well-being and giving him advice, and inquiring about his marriage life in both open and covert ways.
Later, Chen Mo couldn't stand changing his career and becoming a marginal figure again, so he resolutely resigned and went south to work.
This departure completely cut off contact with Wang Luyi.
I lived in a daze for half my life, never returning home and having concerns but never contacting them, until I heard the sad news of my old leader's death.
However, back then, he was also the top student of the Iron-Foot Company and a confidential personal secretary of the military district’s confidential department.
He was once full of vigor and glory.
Suddenly thinking of the past, even today, Chen Mo still felt a little bit of throbbing in his heart.
"Battalion Commander? Battalion Commander?!"
While Chen Mo was in a daze, a large black hand waved before his eyes. The man grinned and said, "What are you thinking about, Captain? Do you want to go see Commander Wang's daughter?"
"I heard from other comrades that he's quite good-looking and about your age. If it really doesn't work out, you can talk to Commander Wang and have him become your father-in-law."
Originally, Chen Mo was distracted only when he heard about Jinyang Medical University. After all, men always have fantasies about those who they have not obtained and have given up for their own reasons.
I heard Man Xuexue say that he wanted to recognize Wang Songhe as his father-in-law.
Chen Mo's inner memories were instantly swept away, and he laughed dumbly: "Don't be ridiculous, I would rather fight the 61st Division than marry him."
There was another sentence to say, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
That is, once he tries to get married, the way he beat the 61st Division in the past will soon come back to haunt him.
Chen Mo is not a pedantic person. He is in his forties and has no embarrassment about talking about love. It is purely because of the personal dispute between him and Lao Wang.
"Then let's go, Captain. Since you don't plan to get married anyway, it's okay to go and take a look."
Man Xuexi dragged Chen Mo downstairs.
He originally wanted to ask the battalion commander about what he had gained from this trip to the military region.
It was just unfortunate timing, as all we saw along the way were cadres and soldiers returning from the canteen after lunch.
People kept saying hello.
I was so exhausted from studying that I couldn't even ask any detailed questions.
The two of them came to the camp cafeteria. Although the situation was not as exaggerated as Man Xuexue had just described, there were indeed quite a few soldiers in the cafeteria. They sat around a round table, talking and laughing while eating.
At this time, the early autumn in Hedong has swept away the last trace of heat in late summer, leaving only freshness and comfort.
There are a lot of people in the cafeteria, but it’s not like before, when eating was like taking a sauna and making you sweat profusely.
“Hello, Battalion Commander!!”
“Hello, Battalion Commander!!”
Seeing Chen Mo enter the cafeteria, many veterans of the reconnaissance company shouted in a booing manner, partly out of politeness and partly to show their support for the scholar.
After all, there will be more and more new people joining the camp in the future. Only if these veterans show enough respect will it be easier to lead the people who come later.
Listening to everyone's greetings, Chen Mo nodded without responding.
His eyes were searching for Wang Songhe's figure.
Just when Chen Mo thought that the old man had left the cafeteria, he turned around and found that he was in the corner on the southeast side of the cafeteria.
There was a girl sitting there wearing a denim top and her hair tied in a ponytail. Although she was sitting on a chair, it was still possible to tell that she was about 1.7 meters tall.
Most girls with such a back view are not too bad looking.
The unit cafeteria was full of people in military uniforms eating, and suddenly a person in casual clothes appeared, standing out.
Chen Mo glanced at the back and felt that it looked familiar, without waiting for him to get up to it.
The soldier sitting next to him eating shouted again, "Hello, Battalion Commander!!"
The loud voice attracted the attention of the person sitting in the southeast corner, who subconsciously turned his head and looked in Chen Mo's direction.
A melon-shaped face, which was not as beautiful as a flower but was definitely not bad, faced Chen Mo.
There seemed to be surprise in her black and white eyes, her eyebrows were thin and willow-shaped, and her lips were stained shiny because she had just eaten some fruit.
Wang Luyi, it really is her.
Their eyes met, and Chen Mo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He was 100% sure that the woman in front of him was Wang Luyi, except that her skin was whiter than he remembered, and she looked younger and more energetic.
But when he met her, Chen Mo handled it with ease, unlike when he saw his old leader and lost his composure.
"Are you the battalion commander? So young?" Wang Luyi asked in surprise.
Chen Mo smiled and nodded.
He ignored the little girl's gaze, because at this time Wang Songhe had already stood up from his seat like a big buffalo protecting its calf.
A usually majestic leader.
But now he was staring at him as if he were guarding against a thief.
This made Chen Mo feel resentful. Damn it, I didn’t do anything wrong.
Is it really like this?
But he didn't show it on his face. He sat down at the dining table naturally and handed Wang Songhe the camp construction plan he had registered on the way back. He said, "Commander, the military district said they can coordinate the backbone personnel. Some people should be transferred here in the near future."
"Please check if there are any errors in the construction plan. I have no experience in this area."
Looking at the poisonous boy in front of him, who was so serious, Wang Songhe also felt that he was being too suspicious.
But at that moment just now, he didn't know why, but he felt that this kid coming here was not a good thing.
Talking about business, Wang Songhe took the record book and looked through it carefully. Instead of answering Chen Mo's question, he asked: "Jianying, your idea is correct."
"It's the 9th Company of the 1st Battalion. You can't build the entire company at once. Whether it's the backbone, cadres, or soldiers, it's impossible to do it simultaneously."
"You need to have a focus, just like when you build a normal battalion. Which company do you plan to build first?"
"The armored infantry company and the tank company," Chen Mo responded without hesitation. "Both companies have company commanders, and there will probably be twelve Type 98 main battle tanks arriving in the next few days."
"Let the armored troops move first. Armored vehicles are easier to apply for. The rest of the academy's students will serve as infantry and conduct maneuvering training without ammunition. If there are not enough personnel, put everyone into these two companies first and develop them little by little."
"Yeah, that's quite pertinent."
Wang Songhe nodded and approved of Chen Mo's plan: "Since you want to build an armored infantry company and a tank company first, that's how the armored battalion should be built."
"Don't expand your organization so much until you have all the equipment and personnel in place. Even if you only have two companies of 500 people, you won't have to worry. As long as you successfully build these two companies, you can then transfer a lot of manpower to form the third and fourth companies."
"You can't get rich overnight. Follow the two-year plan step by step. You can do it."
“Thank you, Chief!!”
Chen Mo stood up and saluted.
What Wang Songhe said just now was consistent with his plan. The reason he came to ask was simply to give him a reassurance.
Lao Wang is a bad guy, but he is straightforward when it comes to serious matters and has no bad intentions.
"Then, Commander, please have dinner with your family first. I'll go get busy."
Chen Mo looked at Wang Luyi and nodded again, then turned and moved to another table.
No one took this scene seriously.
Just treat it as a normal request for advice.
But Man Xuexi, who had been following Chen Mo, was watching with great interest.
Because he found that when the battalion commander was discussing work with Division Commander Wang, the Division Commander's daughter rarely took her eyes off the battalion commander.
Not only that.
When she was eating, her knees were always facing the direction of the battalion commander. She was just studying for a long time, not completely ignorant.
This kind of micro-movement will more or less reflect some of the inner subconsciousness.
If he didn't know the background of the two people and knew that the battalion commander didn't know the girl in front of him, he would have suspected whether they had met before.
Otherwise, how could he, an outsider, feel like they were very familiar with each other?
"I think this is possible."
There was a hint of smile on Man Xuexi's dark and simple face.
Life in the military camp is too boring. If the battalion commander could really pay attention, he might be able to spark heated discussions in the camp.
It's a happy event no matter how big or small it is.
The camp must be built, but personal issues are also a big problem.
