Chapter 275: The Trial in Three Courts, the Trouble with the Thirty-three Heroes List
The battalion commander set off for a meeting at the military headquarters. Other cadres at the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, after experiencing flood relief and disaster relief, were encouraged by the various meetings in the early morning.
The entire battalion began to operate with a clear division of labor.
All the soldiers of the two armored infantry and tank companies went to cultural classes as usual in the morning.
Instructor Fang Peijun set off for the 301 Hospital to visit the wounded.
Three or four female soldiers from the medical team changed into casual clothes and were responsible for accompanying Wang Luyi to climb Mount Tai, catch loaches in the river, and pick wild fruits in the back mountain.
Anyway, we just want to play, and we can't let her think about the phone call and drag her to the back mountain.
Cheng Dong called together several important cadres including Man Xuexi, Liang Hongjie, Qin Xiaojun, and Xu Zhanqi for a meeting.
The theme of the meeting is to formulate specific regulations for the commendation conference.
This is a phased task for the entire battalion and must be taken seriously.
During the morning meeting, the battalion commander specifically instructed that the commendation meeting should be publicized in the military newspaper, and that the louder the better.
This is to counter the despicable tactics that various units in the military region have been using recently.
Cheng Dong is a relatively upright person. There is nothing wrong with letting him lead the training of troops. He can do it for you properly.
But when it comes to playing with words, he is far behind.
Inside the conference room.
Old Cheng showed a rare modest attitude. He handed out cigarettes to each cadre attending the meeting and said with a dry laugh: "Well, let me explain it briefly."
"The battalion needs to do some publicity in the military newspaper. This scholar has also mentioned that it needs to be loud and clear. Let's brainstorm and think of the title and content."
"Many of you here are top students from various colleges. I, Old Cheng, am a rough guy and not good at this. Please share your thoughts."
At present, the demonstration camp is in the main period of getting on the right track and promoting cadres in various units.
Positive performance is an opportunity that everyone must strive for.
Hearing Chief of Staff Cheng's question, Tank Company Commander Qin Xiaojun immediately stood up and said, "Chief of Staff, since this is a publicity stunt, I personally think it must be a big deal."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Cheng Dong nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Qin Xiaojun glanced at the others with a smug look, then tugged at his collar and said loudly, "If we talk about gimmicks, the Kyoto Demonstration Camp is definitely the loudest. It can both name the unit and its status."
"If it were up to me, I'd call it 'Kyoto Demonstration Camp Commendation Ceremony'."
“Vulgar!”
"It's too common, there's nothing noteworthy about it." Upon hearing this, the mechanized infantry company commander Xu Zhanqi immediately shook his head in rejection.
"If you ask me, since the battalion commander wants to create momentum, he should have thrown out the common words like 'commendation meeting' and perhaps titled it 'Record of the Promotion of Meritorious Officials'. Wouldn't that be a good enough gimmick?"
Qin Xiaojun was originally a little unconvinced.
But after hearing Captain Xu's suggestion, he groaned and sat back in his chair, folding his arms, ready to think of a louder one to suppress Old Xu.
These two people, one from the Shicheng Armored Academy and the other from the Shicheng Land Command Academy, have raised the tone of the title too high.
He even dared to tell others about the promotion record of meritorious officials, so what advice would others give him?
They looked at each other and fell silent, waiting for Cheng Dong's decision.
But the problem is.
Cheng Dong also felt that the first one was not very eye-catching, and the second one was too rampant. He really dared to do this.
I'm afraid the military district will have to invite the scholar to the office for tea and chat again.
Even if Xiucai is a frequent visitor to the military region, he can't always go there, right?
“Ahem!”
The meeting was silent for a while.
Cheng Dong glanced at Man Xuexi. This guy's thinking was closest to the battalion commander's in the entire battalion, and his suggestions were definitely the most in line with Xiucai's style.
"Um, does Captain Man have any ideas?"
"Report, I don't have many ideas. It was Captain Qin and Captain Xu's suggestions that reminded me."
Man Xuexue hesitated for a moment, then stood up, tugged at his shirt, and nodded to the two company commanders who had spoken first. "The title 'Kyoto Demonstration Battalion Commendation Conference' is a good one, but it gets to the point too quickly."
"The theme of 'The Record of the Promotion of Meritorious Officials' is well-represented, but the scale is so grand. I'm worried that other units will see it and verbally attack our Kyoto Demonstration Camp, saying we don't know how to be humble."
"What's your suggestion?" Cheng Dong knew that finding this guy would be a good option, and he looked at Comrade Heping with a smile on his face.
"Haha, then I'll show off."
Man Xuexi scratched his head with a simple and honest look. After all, he had to reject the proposals of the two company commanders, so he still had to do a good job on the surface.
"Captain Qin suggested pointing out the unit, so let's title it 'Entering the Informatization Demonstration Camp.'"
"Captain Xu said we wanted to create momentum and mentioned the heroes. Let's limit the scope of the heroes to our own camp. I believe that even if other units see it, they won't have anything to say."
"Let's just title it 'Visiting the Informatization Demonstration Camp and Recording Thirty-three Heroes.'"
WTF!!!!???
Everyone in the conference room, including Cheng Dong, widened their eyes when they heard the title.
Until now.
Many people finally realized why this comrade who was studying had been favored by the battalion commander since he came to the demonstration camp.
It turns out that this guy is really talented.
It can be said that with this kind of title, even if the people present racked their brains, it would be difficult to think of a comparable type.
"Visiting the Informatization Demonstration Camp and Recording Thirty-three Heroes"
Cheng Dong muttered a few words, then frowned and said, "The title is fine, but can we find thirty-three heroes here?"
"Even if we count all the promotions and officer openings in the entire battalion, there's no way this many people could be here."
"Besides, we've only been in the camp for a short time. Isn't thirty-three heroes too many?"
"It's not too much." Man Xuexue chuckled, then leaned over the table and took the cigarette from Cheng Dong.
He made his own decision and dispersed the crowd again. He sat down with smoke puffing from his nostrils and analyzed: "Chief of Staff, look."
"The battalion commander didn't say when the commendation ceremony would take place. Maybe a month from now? By then, the engineering company will be formed and the logistics company will be complete."
"Since you say he's a hero from our own family, then the scope is too wide."
"The successful establishment of a company is a credit to the battalion-level organization, right? The establishment of a platoon certainly counts as one as well. Captain Liu has worked hard teaching and testing the data of the new equipment, so he definitely counts as one too."
"The dragon list for armored infantry, the tiger list for tanks, the comrades who did well on their academic projects, the classes that did well in housekeeping, the soldiers who trained diligently, the backbones who held multiple technical positions, and even the logistics personnel who made the biggest, whitest steamed buns and the most delicious dishes—they were all meritorious individuals."
"Anyone who has made outstanding or outstanding contributions to the establishment of the camp will be included in the list of thirty-three heroes."
"Appearing at a commendation ceremony doesn't necessarily mean a promotion, a promotion, or meritorious service. A commendation, a banner, a ribbon, or even a water bottle, etc., would still be considered meritorious, wouldn't it?"
“Anyone who has made contributions can be considered a meritorious official.”
Holy crap!!!!
Man Xuexi's speech once again shocked everyone in the conference room.
At this time.
Cheng Dong also realized that this so-called list of thirty-three heroes did not refer to the exact number.
It can be used as a name on a list and all the honors can be given at the commendation meeting.
Doesn't this arrangement fit in perfectly with what the battalion commander and instructor mentioned during the early morning meeting: paying more attention to the grassroots and understanding more about their purpose?
The list of meritorious officials is about to be released.
If this thing were put into the army, who wouldn't fight hard?
As for the verbal encouragement from my old unit, that’s all in the past.
Cheng Dong turned his head to look at Man Xuexi, who had an ordinary face and was not as masculine as himself. He shook his head and sighed in his heart: "You really can't judge a person by his appearance."
"A toad fucks a frog, it's not fancy looking, but it's pretty fancy to play with!!"
"This idea is absolutely amazing!!"
"Does any other comrade have any different suggestions?" Cheng Dong glanced at everyone.
Everyone shook their heads. What else could they say?
Look at Man Xuexi's proud grin. Even if others have opinions, they won't say them out loud.
Because the suggestions I made were definitely not as good as those from this black boy.
The opinions are unified.
Cheng Dong let out a long sigh and clapped his hands: "Okay, then it's settled on the military newspaper."
"Meeting adjourned!"
"Platoon Leader, you came up with the title, so I'll leave the content to you. Please hurry up. I need to see the manuscript before noon. The time is short and the task is heavy."
After saying that, Cheng Dong stood up and patted Lao Man on the shoulder to show encouragement.
In the blink of an eye.
In the entire conference room, only Man Xuexue was sitting there with a dazed look on his face, his expression full of dissatisfaction.
Damn it, I was transferred from the General Staff to be a platoon leader in the logistics department, so why is the work in the General Staff still given to me?
"Oh, what a miserable life!"
Lao Man complained, but he didn't waste any time. He stood up and walked to the filing cabinet, took out a stack of manuscript paper, filled his pen with ink, and started editing.
No matter what, they are all talents from the Academy of Military Sciences. Even if their majors do not involve literature, writing a draft of a military newspaper is no problem for them.
Lao Man, who has entered the working state, is still quite reliable. His face is as tense as if he is constipated, and the manuscript in his hand is gradually taking shape.
【Title: Entering the Information Demonstration Camp and Recording Thirty-three Heroes
Listening to the clarion call of the new journey, the goal of building a strong military is just ahead. During the mechanized transformation, we have sent off many glorious old troops, but the cancellation of numbers and the disbanding of organizations do not mean that these old troops have disappeared in the long river of military history. They are determined and keep the spirit of their predecessors in mind. They have once again burst out with vitality, recorded the direction of informatization, and established an informatization demonstration battalion that was born from the reconnaissance company No. 3 and countless sacrifices for military reform.
The Information Demonstration Camp is a young unit, established less than half a year ago. Compared with other units, it is still very immature and has little foundation.
But we stayed true to our original aspirations. Taking our older brother units as our role models and drawing lessons from history, we boldly explored the direction of the Army. During this period, a large number of outstanding officers and non-commissioned officers emerged from our ranks. In just a few months, we produced nine Second-Class Collective Merit awards and one First-Class Combat Hero. We pioneered the use of information technology systems for battlefield valor. The Demonstration Battalion, like a young tiger, with fearless spirit, overcame all obstacles and rose to the forefront of this new era. Now, let's delve into the Demonstration Battalion and learn about the thirty-three heroes who emerged from its formation and operation.
Man Xue's literary skills are quite good, and his writing focuses on the glorious history and sacrifices of the demonstration camp.
Taking the changes of the times as the starting point, it gives people a broad vision of the future. From mechanization reform to the Northwest Military Exercise, the feat of using a joint battalion to fight against the old Type A division was all mentioned.
This kind of writing style, not to mention its natural and elegant style, at least in terms of practical use, is enough to allow many people in grassroots units to once again see the prospects of the demonstration camp.
The initial suggestion to promote the military network was something that Man Xuexue and Chen Mo had negotiated with each other.
Now, just asking him to write a press release is naturally a piece of cake.
. . . . . . .
Everyone in the Taishan Demonstration Camp was busy with their own affairs, and Chen Mo was also in a meeting at the military headquarters.
Far away in Qinglong Gorge, Commander Wang of the 61st Division Artillery Regiment was furious.
There are many reasons why Wang Songhe left the Non-commissioned Officer Academy in a hurry.
Firstly, the military exercise in southern Guangdong had begun, and part of the troops stationed in Qinglong Gorge had to withdraw to their original base. As the division commander, he had to come back to take charge of the overall situation and could not delay.
Secondly.
Not all troops were evacuated. At least the artillery regiment under the 61st Division was left in Qinglong Gorge as a reserve force. Before the end of the military parade, the regiment was designated as a long-term combat readiness unit.
It was even more impossible for Wang Songhe to stay in Jinyang, so he chose to return and take charge when the demonstration camp went out for rescue.
Originally.
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement. As soldiers, they will naturally rush to the front line where the motherland needs them most. There is nothing to say.
The problem was that the matter was urgent, and Lao Wang did not tell his daughter, who was a freshman in medical school, about this matter when he left Jinyang. As a result, Wang Lu saw too many soldiers being dispatched for flood relief in Jinyang.
Even the students of the medical school were conscripted, which caused the child to worry. He quietly ran to the Hedong City Howitzer Battalion headquarters to find himself.
In 1999, don't compare the environment at that time with later generations.
In this era, a little girl traveled hundreds of kilometers, was unfamiliar with the place, and went to a remote military camp. Most places were inaccessible by car, and there were also mountain valleys and other places.
The safety issues are far less than in later generations.
Not to mention a young girl, even a grown man would be dangerous.
A safe departure does not necessarily mean a safe arrival.
There is no guarantee that you will come back safely.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo frowned when he heard that the people in the camp did not let Wang Luyi enter the barracks.
Old Wang has been in this situation ever since he found out that his daughter went to the Non-commissioned Officer Academy and was picked up by someone arranged by that bastard scholar.
The old father felt relieved and worried at the same time.
I feel relieved because as long as I am in the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, there will be no problem.
Although the Non-commissioned Officer Academy has been specially approved not to station troops there for three years, there are so many soldiers from the demonstration camp there, so there is nothing wrong with ensuring the safety of the people.
Being worried is a bit complicated.
That damn scholar is actually about the same age as my own child. Anyone who has a daughter will find that everyone looks like Huangmao, not Huangmao, but they are almost the same.
Chen Mo definitely cannot be classified as a yellow-haired person, and Wang Songhe doesn't look down on him that much.
Quite the opposite.
From the bottom of his heart, Lao Wang really admires people like Chen Mo, who dares to think and act, has good personal abilities, is courageous, is good at learning, and is fearless.
This kind of person is a natural born soldier.
When on the battlefield, he will never show any fear in the face of the enemy. He is the young talent that the Republic needs most.
But then again.
Being an excellent individual does not mean that Wang Songhe will recognize and be willing to make Gou Xiucai his family member.
Because this kind of person is so capable, even I dare not say that I can suppress him. If my daughter follows this kind of person, there will be no benefit except suffering.
Of course, this is secondary.
Wang Songhe knew very well that the younger a person is when he achieves success, the higher his ambition and the stronger his ability will be, but he will also be more likely to fail easily and be unable to withstand the slightest setback.
Once the subsequent development of informatization becomes biased, or other unexpected circumstances occur, the young man will be stripped of his identity as the commander of the Kyoto Demonstration Battalion and lose the halo of a first-class combat hero.
If such a person is just assigned as an ordinary major, he will be devastated and may even become discouraged and abandon everything.
This is what Wang Songhe is most worried about.
But he didn't know what went wrong. Although the two people had no connection at all, Lao Wang felt that there was something fishy going on between them.
An intuitive thing.
So, last night he arranged for someone to call every once in a while to warn Xiucai.
I just didn't expect that it would go wrong.
We had agreed to send him back to school during the day, but we couldn’t contact him during the day.
Wang Songhe called at 7 o'clock to inquire, and found out that the battalion commander had gone to a meeting, the political instructor had gone to see the wounded, and the chief of staff was in a meeting.
None of the office phones could be reached, and the people in the combat readiness duty room were only responsible for reporting, not leaving their posts to call people.
This made Lao Wang very anxious.
"Intentional, this little bastard must have done it on purpose."
In the artillery regiment headquarters, in the division commander's temporary office, Wang Songhe paced back and forth in a rage.
They were hundreds of kilometers away and the unit was not part of a large military region, so there was nothing he could do if he couldn't contact them.
Even if he used his butt to think, Lao Wang could guess that this must be the special instruction from that little bastard Xiucai, asking the people below to do their jobs and ignore his call.
Although Lao Wang knew that nothing would happen and that the scholar was at most trying to create a time difference with him and deliberately anger him, he knew it was useless.
I can’t contact anyone no matter what. Isn’t that frustrating?
After much thought, Wang Songhe was really worried. He was far away in Qinglong Gorge and didn't know about the Jinyang military meeting.
So he called the military district's training department, using the old method, saying that he had something important to ask Captain Chen.
The result is obvious. The person in charge cannot be contacted. The scale of the military district meeting is not small.
Leaders of all units must be present.
Two hours later.
Wang Songhe, who was feeling very uneasy, could no longer sit still. He had already decided to give his daughter 8,000 yuan in the next two days and force her to buy a mobile phone.
Even if I am reluctant to buy it, I have to buy it for my daughter. I must always know her location and eliminate all possibilities.
Near noon, Lao Wang called the General Staff Headquarters.
At the same time, the military newspaper's publicity of the list of thirty-three heroes was also sent to the editor-in-chief's office of the military newspaper.
If it were normal times.
The Propaganda Department can make the final decision on the editing and publication of the military newspaper, but this time it involves the Kyoto Demonstration Camp, and it is still during the period when various units are jointly boycotting the demonstration camp.
Under such circumstances, the people in the Propaganda Department couldn't decide whether to publish the article or not. The main reason was that this unit always hyped up the article too much every time it promoted it.
The Thirty-three Meritorious Officials List, how many units dare to do this?
Therefore, the Propaganda Department's Editorial Office sent all the manuscripts compiled by the Demonstration Battalion to the General Staff Headquarters for review.
The reason why it was not sent to the Political Department is because all matters concerning the Kyoto Demonstration Camp are under the responsibility of the General Staff.
The Political Department does not have the authority.
At this time, Chen Mo was sitting in the military conference room, listening to the rectification of the rescue response of various units in Jinyang.
There were indeed people from the headquarters attending this meeting, and the participants were not only from the military, but also from many local units.
It is no exaggeration to call it an accountability meeting.
However, overall it had little to do with the demonstration camp, except for the announcement of the follow-up arrangements for the martyrs and the payment of pensions, which Chen Mo listened to seriously.
For other things, just treat them as accompanying personnel and kill time here.
The meeting lasted until noon and was temporarily adjourned.
Lunch will be served in the conference room.
Chen Mo was sitting there feeling bored, so he walked out of the meeting room during the recess to stretch.
But he had just come out and hadn't even finished stretching.
He ran into Chief of Staff Qin Quanan, who had just left. Old man Qin came up to him with a gloomy face.
"Chen Mo!"
"arrive!"
"Come here for a moment."
"yes!"
At first, Chen Mo didn't realize what was happening at all. He thought that some details were not explained in the meeting and the leader wanted to supplement them privately.
They need cooperation from their camp.
But soon, Chen Mo realized that he was overthinking.
In the small reception room next to the conference room, there is a row of mahogany sofas under the bright red "August 1st" military flag.
Commander-in-chief Zhang Canshan sat there with a calm expression, while Logistics Minister Sun Zhensheng had a gloomy face, staring at him fiercely as if someone owed him eight million.
Plus, the chief of staff looked unhappy.
Chen Mo felt a sense of déjà vu about this kind of trial by three judges.
A feeling that my life is over rose from my heart.
What the hell, which link went wrong again?
Chen Mo closed his eyes, took a long breath, and then quickly walked to the coffee table in front of the three people and stood still.
Stand at attention and salute!
"Hello, Chief."
He has made up his mind that no matter what mistake he makes this time, he must admit it.
Anyway, you may not change after admitting it, so what’s there to be afraid of!
Let’s get through this hurdle first.
