Chapter 253: Allocation Planning, the Road Ahead is Long
We moved to another dining table and found that most of the cadres in the camp were there.
Chen Mo took out his plan book and placed it on the table. After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of food, he said, "Briefly tell me about today's trip to the military district."
Upon hearing the battalion commander talking in the cafeteria, several cadres who were chatting immediately sat up straight and all assumed a serious attitude.
Everyone present knew that being able to hold a meeting in front of so many soldiers must be a good thing.
Bad things are usually not so blatant.
"First."
Chen Mo turned his head to look at Lao Man who followed him and was sitting next to him. He didn't know what was wrong with this dark-haired guy, but he just kept laughing.
"Be serious." Chen Mo raised his hand and knocked on the table. "Tonight, select some backbone personnel in the air defense field from the backstage of the publicity list. Officers and non-commissioned officers are fine. In short, the number should be small and the personnel should be elite."
"There's also a person named Wang Jianbin in Xiangjian. Regardless of whether he signed up or not, he must be included on the list."
"Besides air defense, it would be best if we could also select some specialized radar units. In short, all the hard-to-find technical personnel should come from the 27th and 38th units."
"Once the list is finalized, give it to me."
"Okay, no problem." Man Xuexue patted his chest and asked doubtfully, "Battalion Commander, asking for people is no problem. I have experience in this area. But for units like the air defense and radar units, or even the rocket squadron, will anyone give them to me if I ask for them?"
These are new units that emerged during the second stage of mechanization transformation.
Many of them don’t even understand the game themselves. After so much effort to cultivate those backbone members, who wouldn’t treat them like heirlooms and hold them in their hands?
"Don't worry about that. Remember, be gentle when registering. It's better to have fewer than the best."
Chen Mo waved his hand, then looked at Qin Xiaojun and Xu Zhanqi: "I just talked to Commander Wang, you should have heard some of it."
"In the near future, a company of Type 98 main battle tanks will be deployed and transferred from the General Assembly to the NCO Academy. The establishment of the battalion will also begin with your two armored infantry companies and tank companies."
"I estimate that the equipment will arrive first. Engineers and designers haven't been to the academy for a long time. Before they start teaching the new equipment, the allocated ammunition won't arrive."
"Unified delivery, no matter how the process is calculated, will take at least a week, so your two tasks are to go to the academy as soon as possible and set up two companies for me."
"Currently, in the battalion and the academy, no matter who you are, you can pick the backbone and form any personnel you want. Regardless of whether the engineers are there or not, as long as you can drive the tank, you should first conduct no-ammunition training to get the tank running. I won't emphasize the basic infantry coordination tactics, you have heard them countless times."
"In short, for the first two companies to be established, focus on training and improving coordination. I will only give you one month."
"If you can't practice well, I'll replace you when the time comes. Do you understand?"
Looking at the battalion commander's serious expression.
Qin Xiaojun and Xu Zhanqi looked at each other and were both shocked. The excitement they had previously felt as company commanders was now replaced by a heavy burden weighing on their shoulders.
One month.
Time is so tight.
But they themselves knew that the 9th Company of the 1st Battalion, even if they put aside the reconnaissance company and the medical team, were already established companies.
That was the organizational scale of the 7th Company of the 1st Battalion. If the first two companies, which had the most backbones and the most abundant personnel, failed to achieve results, it would really be unacceptable.
It will greatly delay and even affect the progress of subsequent work.
"Yes, Captain, we understand."
Qin Xiaojun and Xu Zhanqi responded in unison.
Seeing the two people's solemn expressions, Chen Mo put away the record book on the table and smiled: "Don't be too nervous, I'm not the kind of person who will only let the horse run without eating grass."
“As the saying goes, there is always a brave man under a great reward.”
"I can promise you all right now that during the battalion's establishment period, we have thirty promotion spots available to the entire battalion. Anyone who is within the age limit and has done a good job can apply to Chief of Staff Cheng."
"In addition, aside from the thirty promotion spots, there are also ten spots for promotion, ten third-class merit awards, and one second-class merit award. Promotions and merit evaluations will all be conducted in a fair and open manner."
"Our battalion already has an instructor, Comrade Fang Peijun from the Propaganda Bureau of the Military Region Political Department. He's not here right now, but all subsequent arrangements will be fully implemented."
"As for the issue of accompanying the troops, we don't have a designation at the moment, so I can't make too many promises, because the camp may be relocated in the future."
"But what I can guarantee is that as long as our unit is stable and those who are qualified for welfare housing are eligible, I will do my best to apply for them and ensure that no one is left behind. For those who are not qualified enough and want to apply for low-rent housing, I will also do my best to ensure the welfare of everyone."
"This is my promise, is that clear?"
"Yes, Captain!"
In the cafeteria, a group of cadres sitting around the table stood up collectively and responded loudly.
In the past, people always said "build a camp, build a camp", which sounded very exciting, but many people would have doubts in their hearts.
After all, these people have no military numbers, which means they are like "illegal residents" in the military region, and their names may be posted somewhere else.
No matter how passionate we are about building a camp, it would be more exciting if there were no tangible welfare unit.
There are thirty promotion vacancies, but not many people in the current demonstration camp are interested.
Because all the members of the battalion are either cadres or veterans of the reconnaissance company, and they are all over the age for promotion, there are very few who meet the requirements.
But ten promotion spots are enough to make everyone scramble for them.
The benefits of ten third-class merits and one second-class merit are almost equivalent to the quota that can be transferred to a brigade-level unit at the end of the year.
Now that they are placed in a camp, everyone has more opportunities.
Who wouldn’t be moved?
As for the allocation of welfare housing, no one in the entire battalion who has reached the rank of regular battalion commander is currently eligible.
But many people can apply for low-rent housing for non-commissioned officers. As long as it can solve the problem of family members accompanying the troops, who wouldn’t rush forward?
Not only were the cadres at the meeting excited, but even the veterans sitting nearby blushed when they heard the news.
Ten third-class merits.
This is the goal of many veterans.
"Battalion Commander, when will the equipment arrive? I'm going to the academy over in Taishan and recruit a group of students to form a tank company."
Qin Xiaojun rubbed his hands, looking impatient.
"I estimate it will be within the next week. You just go ahead and do your thing." Chen Mo thought for a while and responded. He was not sure about the specific time.
But I think, since the heads of the major military regions have agreed, it shouldn't be delayed for too long.
After settling the welfare issue, Chen Mo didn't stay in the cafeteria for long. If he stayed there, he wouldn't be able to relax when many people were talking about it.
It's a good thing anyway, so let them talk about it.
Chen Mo came out of the cafeteria, followed by Man Xue, Qin Xiaojun and Xu Zhanqi.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the three of them.
No one else responded.
Only Qin Xiaojun awkwardly turned his head to look at the direction where Wang Song was sitting. Finding that he was not paying attention to him, he lowered his voice and said, "Battalion Commander, it's no problem to go to the academy to pick someone."
"But now many of the students in the academy are from the 61st Division. Can we choose them to build a battalion?"
"Why can't I choose?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.
"Remember, what's wrong with using other people to handle our own affairs?"
"Now that they are here, there is no reason not to use them."
"That's what I said." Qin Xiaojun rubbed his hands awkwardly and laughed dryly: "But if all those people go back in the future, then the newly formed company will be completely empty, right?"
"Then it depends on your ability. If you can keep people, keep them. If you can't, keep their skills. Do I need to teach you this?"
Chen Mo raised his hand with a smile, patted Qin Xiaojun's shoulder, and then turned and left.
This newly graduated cadre is still too immature in his thinking.
At this critical juncture, it doesn’t matter which division they belong to. As long as there is a vacancy, we can just use them to fill it.
It’s better to have choices than to have none, right?
Besides, you all came here in a lump, and here you study and are provided with food, drink and shelter. How can you leave smoothly when you leave?
Seeing Qin Xiaojun standing there in confusion, Lao Man couldn't bear it any longer and warned him, "Captain Qin, you should first deal with the problem of company personnel. The people coming from the 61st Division are all backbones, backbones given for free. What are you worrying about?"
"How about we switch? You come to the General Staff, and I lead the tank company?"
"You're so beautiful, what are you thinking about?" Qin Xiaojun rolled his eyes. He didn't dare to argue with the battalion commander, but he could still say a few words to Lao Man, the dark-haired guy.
Man didn't care about studying. He smiled and quickly caught up with Chen Mo.
Just as she was about to play the role of "matchmaker" and continue to inquire about some information, she looked up and found Chen Mo staring around the camp.
"What are you looking at, Captain? When are we going to the academy?"
"No rush."
Chen Mo stood there with his hands on his hips. He had been very busy recently and had not had time to take a good look around the camp.
"Logistics didn't deliver beer to us either. Do you know of any beer distributors nearby?"
"That's a long way to go." Man Xuexue pointed southwest and said, "This camp used to be frequently bombarded with grenades, so it was built too remote to prevent nuisance to the residents."
"If during the day, fellow villagers would come by on a pedal tricycle to sell cigarettes and soda, now if we want to find a distributor, we have to go to a town more than ten kilometers away."
"Are there any other units stationed nearby?" Chen Mo asked casually.
"Yes, Chief of Staff Cheng and I have been around here. The Hedong City grain depot is only six kilometers away from us, and a team directly under the Seventh Brigade is on duty there."
"If we go a little further, the main force of the 7th Brigade, the 1st Battalion, is nearby, but it's still more than ten kilometers away from us."
"Is there no service center for soldiers nearby?" Chen Mo asked as his heart began to become active.
He just boasted in the cafeteria that he would solve the problem of his family members joining the army, but such a thing is not so easy to arrange.
He couldn't even handle a division-level unit, let alone a half-baked battalion commander like him.
No matter how important the demonstration camp is, it is impossible for the higher-ups to solve these problems for him.
Fortunately, the demonstration battalion is currently directly under the jurisdiction of the military region, and there are no regiments, brigades, divisions and other units above them.
If you want to do a side job, that's not impossible.
For example, the battalion logistics department can open up some vegetable fields and places to raise pigs and sheep, and let the families of soldiers buy and raise them. The camp is responsible for purchasing them, which can bring some income to the families, enough to maintain their lives.
For example, you can apply for a piece of land from the military district, use the camp budget to build some small shops, restaurants, barber shops, etc., rent them to military families, and do some small business, which can also solve the problem of life.
After all, a demonstration camp plus a brigade directly under the grain depot must have at least a thousand people, so the supply and demand relationship can be established.
"There really isn't one nearby. This is either a grain depot or a howitzer testing ground. It won't be built where there are densely populated people."
Man Xuexi spread his hands. He had already figured out all this and followed the company commander of the reconnaissance company.
If I can't even get this little bit of information, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"Okay."
As Chen Mo spoke, he took out a few dozen yuan worth of bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Lao Man's pocket, saying, "Well, drive to the agency store and buy some beer and some snacks to go with it."
"Aren't these two new recruits from the Second Battalion? We've been so busy we haven't had time to see you. So, while the instructor is here, let's get together tonight."
"And arrange the follow-up work."
"yes!"
Man Xuexue agreed, turned around quickly and ran towards the parking lot.
Chen Mo pushed a 28-inch bicycle, whose owner was unknown, from the front of the camp's administrative building, rode out of the camp, and wandered around.
Before, there was no support policy from above, and everything remained just words.
Now that the policy has been given, there are many things to consider in setting up the camp, and Chen Mo himself has become a steward.
I took a stroll to see if the area nearby was suitable for developing wasteland or building some buildings for doing business.
When returning to camp.
I ran into Wang Songhe and Wang Luyi head-on.
It seems that the father and daughter have a good relationship. When you get closer, you can hear the old man telling her that she should learn to get along with classmates in college.
Chen Mo glanced at Wang Luyi, who looked younger than he had imagined.
The fair little face is full of youthfulness.
He sighed inwardly.
No matter how good the past memories were, Chen Mo felt that they were all in the past. Besides, he really didn't know that the other person's father was also in the army.
I've never heard of it before.
"Hello, Chief!"
Chen Mo got off the bicycle, stood by the roadside, and stood up straight by holding the bicycle.
Wang Songhe nodded and said nothing. Instead, Wang Luyi politely waved and said hello: "Hello, Captain Chen."
"Hello!"
"The little girl is very pretty."
Chen Mo pushed his bicycle with a grin, then turned around and ran.
Wang Songhe's sword-like eyebrows almost stood up when he saw this. This brat is too bold.
Old Wang watched Chen Mo walk away, then lowered his voice and said, "Lu Yi, you've grown up now. You'll have your own life in college, and your family won't interfere with you."
"But you have to be clear about it. If you meet someone like that, stay away from them. Don't choose them."
"Why, Dad? I think Captain Chen is a good guy." Wang Luyi was a little puzzled. She turned around to look at the person who had run away, but she didn't think anything of it. She just felt that he was not a bad person.
"It's good."
Wang Songhe nodded: "But this kind of person is too capable, too ambitious, and too goal-oriented."
"He is qualified as a soldier, but that doesn't mean he is suitable to be the breadwinner of a family."
"People who are too capable are often easily defeated. After experiencing setbacks and setbacks, they are more likely to give up on themselves than others."
"Since you've been admitted to medical school, you have your own path. It would be best if you could become a teacher, or a lawyer, or at worst a doctor. In short, don't try to become a soldier."
"I've been a soldier for half my life. Look at our family. Is there really harmony between your mother and I?"
Wang Luyi listened carefully, but she did not respond.
In my family, my father is a soldier and my mother works at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The older generation got married under the policy arrangement at that time and formed a family.
It's neither harmonious nor bad.
When she was young, she had the impression that her parents rarely stayed at home. Only when she grew up a little could she choose to live in the house assigned by her father or mother for a period of time.
She usually listened to her father, but this time, it was the heaviest topic she had ever heard in her adult life.
Right now, I can’t think that far ahead.
“A-choo!!”
When Chen Mo pushed his bicycle and ran to the front of the administrative building, he sneezed for no apparent reason.
He parked his bicycle and rubbed his nose with his hand. Before he could say anything, Man Xuexue hurriedly got off the military vehicle nearby.
"Captain, the beer is here. Where are we going?"
"Let's go to my dormitory and bring the wine over first. Go and call Chief of Staff Cheng, Deputy Company Commander Hou, Instructor Huo, and our new instructor Fang."
"I'll go to the dormitory and call others."
“Okay!!”
Lao Man agreed, quickly got into the car, and drove towards the cadre dormitory building.
Chen Mo packed his clothes and walked towards Lao Pao's dormitory.
Once the Type 98 main battle tank arrives, the military factory and the final assembly will inevitably arrange engineers or technicians to assist the unit in adapting to the new weapon.
Lao Pao is an expert in armored vehicles. This time, when forming a tank company, Lao Pao will definitely need to go there to learn and gain experience in advance.
It is convenient to train more maintenance personnel in the future.
After all, he is his squad leader. He has been busy recently and has not had time to chat with the old squad leader. He took this opportunity to bring together the new and old cadres of the former reconnaissance company.
Cheer up for the next work.
After Zhu Gaituan and Feng Junling were transferred here, they were arranged to live in the same dormitory with Lao Pao. They didn't have many acquaintances here.
Living in the same room with the squad leader during the recruit period means I have someone to look after me.
When Chen Mo arrived at the place and pushed open the dormitory door, he saw the former deputy company commander of the reconnaissance company, Hou Zhanye, the communicator Zhao Wuliang, Lao Pao, and Zhu Gaituan, all of whom were playing cards together.
Judging from the situation, Zhao Wuliang should have lost the most, with his face almost covered with notes.
Lao Hou and Lao Pao sat diagonally across from each other, and it was obvious at first glance that their sitting posture was a sign of cheating and easy eye contact.
Zhu Gaituan was fine, he didn't lose much, but his gesture of holding the cards was not good, and he needed the help of his military advisor Feng Junling behind him to sort the cards.
Even with this, the two of them are still busy and flustered.
This relaxed scene was exactly the same as when Chen Mo first went to the Kuchi reconnaissance company.
"Yo! Judging from the situation, I am late."
Chen Mo walked into the dormitory with a smile.
“Hello, Battalion Commander!!”
"battalion commander!!"
When several people saw the scholar coming, they stood up together. After all, they were of different levels. Chen Mo could greet him casually, but others could not.
"It's okay. It's okay."
Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand: "I have some beer prepared, let's go over and sit for a while."
"Also, Captain Hou, you will go to the academy with the armored infantry company tomorrow. Xu Zhanqi is too inexperienced, so please help keep an eye on him."
"From now on, you'll lead the reconnaissance company. First, you'll set an example for the armored infantry company and teach them how to practice coordination."
"Squad leader, take Lao Zhu and Lao Feng to the tank company tomorrow. The Type 98 main battle tank has arrived and we can't do without you."
"Tomorrow we will go to the academy in batches to officially set up camp."
"Okay, no problem."
They looked at each other and immediately accepted the task.
For people like them, it would definitely be more comfortable to be idle without any specific job assignments.
During the period of camp construction and progress, as long as the scholars assign them work, they will naturally be rewarded according to their merits in the subsequent evaluation and selection.
Everyone understands this principle.
