Chapter 277: Successfully Passed, It's Time to Settle the Account
Chapter 277: Clearing the Pass with Reason and Laying the Foundation for Support
Chen Mo was quite familiar with the personalities of these people in the military region.
The old leader Zhang Canshan usually doesn’t talk much, but once he speaks, his words are final.
He made it clear that he wanted the campaign to stop.
Chen Mo must obey, in other words, he must admit his mistake.
Chief of Staff Qin is relatively easy to talk to.
If you want to apply for assistance from him, you have to prepare in advance. Good things take time to come, so it's not difficult to deal with.
Not to mention that old man Sun Zhensheng, he is just a powder keg, scolding everyone he meets. Many times, you can't find the source and don't know why he is being scolded.
But there are also advantages to having a bad temper. Just make him angry a few times and he will run away.
Tao Ruichang from the Political Department is a good guy.
He has an easygoing personality and smiles at everyone he meets.
He usually does not participate in similar conferences, but often shows up at commendation conferences. Chen Mo's personal second-class merit was awarded by Minister Tao in the recruit company.
If we were to say who is the most difficult to deal with in the entire military region leadership team, it would definitely be Political Commissar Liao Hongjun. The older generation of political commissars do more than just talk.
He is also somewhat proficient in boxing and kicking.
If you meet him, you will be unable to win the argument or the fight.
So, Chen Mo was very honest this time.
There's no need for us to pour the tea, just stand there. Chen Mo kept silent about the complaint from the 61st Army.
Following the principle that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, he walked straight to that station.
Like a baseball bat, the mouth looks at the nose, the nose looks at the heart, without any words.
"I'm asking you, Captain Chen. Why don't you have anything to report to me?"
Liao Hongjun crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa in a relaxed manner, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo: "You seemed quite talkative just now, didn't you?"
"Come, come, come, sit down in front of me and have a good chat. What exactly is going on with the 61st Division's complaint?"
"Can't your demonstration camp just be quiet for a few days?"
"Chief, about this matter, he actually..." Chen Mo tried to explain with a dry laugh.
pity!
Old man Liao didn't give him a chance at all. He just fixed his eyes on him and asked expressionlessly, "Actually what?"
"Actually, the complaint from 61 is fake? So, an old man like me put down all my work and just sat here with you, fooling around, just for fun?"
"Captain Chen, do you still have discipline in your eyes?"
Liao Hongjun pointed at Chen Mo and said, "You're quite capable. So many people came to point out your mistakes, and you just dismissed them like this?"
"Last time, during the military network incident, three military regions cleaned up your mess. They spent half a month cleaning it up and it still wasn't clean. Are you coming back again this time?"
"Have you relied on the privileges granted to you by the demonstration camp and forgotten that there is discipline in the military camp?"
"Look at yourself. Do you still look like a soldier?"
"Tell me, people have complained several times, what's the matter?"
Liao Hongjun finally brought the topic back on track.
Chen Mo was almost exhausted by the barrage of scolding.
But fortunately, Chen Mo is not the kind of person who would just accept things passively.
Old man Liao is indeed difficult to get along with, but that doesn't mean we have no other options.
People who manage political work have one obvious characteristic, which is that they are reasonable.
Maybe he won't protect his own children, but he will stand on the side of reason.
Chen Mo stood where he was, lowering his head slightly. His gesture seemed to indicate that he was admitting his mistake, but in fact, he was thinking of a solution in his mind.
The attitude of the above regarding the construction of the demonstration camp is very clear, that is, to change the topic if possible and to delay the resolution of issues as much as possible.
This way of doing things may seem slow and cumbersome.
Actually, there is nothing we can do about it.
Such a large military region has to manage tens of thousands of people, including their eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping, training, consumption, various assessments, and is also facing reform and transformation. The military region is under great pressure.
But then again, who doesn’t feel stressed?
How each unit develops, which one is faster and which one is slower, and whether they can fight for benefits.
It all depends on your ability!
"I'm sorry, fellow brothers." Chen Mo confessed quietly in his heart, then lowered his head and eyes, deliberately lowering his voice to a low level.
"Commander, our battalion lost a comrade in this rescue."
"Um?"
When Liao Hongjun heard this, he was stunned and a little confused.
This was originally waiting for Chen Mo to give an explanation.
But I never expected that the other party would suddenly say such a thing.
For a moment, Liao Hongjun was a little confused about the young man's thoughts.
When Chen Mo saw that his words worked, he knew he was halfway to success.
Because he is not afraid of arguing with the other party, he is just afraid that the leader will not give him a chance to speak.
"What do you mean? Your demonstration camp did a great job on this rescue mission, and the military district will provide some additional assistance as appropriate. But what does this have to do with your personal problems?"
Liao Hongjun frowned, and he was on the verge of exploding.
He would never allow a cadre to use the rescue incident to gain sympathy. If he really did that, it would not be as simple as justifying himself.
But the thinking is distorted, completely distorted.
This is a very serious issue.
Chen Mo took a deep breath. He ignored Liao Hongjun's suppressed anger and just said to himself: "Commander, you asked me what the complaint was about."
“I’m just explaining the whole process.”
"But I guarantee with my integrity that there is absolutely no such thing as what Commander Wang said. I don't even know why they are complaining about me."
"Then just speak nicely, what rescue are you talking about?" Liao Hongjun's eyes were filled with fire.
He didn't believe that the guy in front of him had any personality. If he had any personality, how could he cause so much trouble?
The people in the demonstration camp have terrible personalities. Their bottom line is so low that you can hardly see it.
"After the rescue efforts were completed and we returned to the academy," Chen Mo lowered his voice again. "I arranged for the battalion's cadres to go to the Hedong camp to leave the names of the fallen comrades and their uniforms in the Heroic Soul Chamber."
"Wang Luyi, Wang Songhe's daughter, was brought to the academy from the Hedong camp by our battalion's cadres. The reason was that Wang Luyi saw that the streets of Jinyang were full of rescue military vehicles, and that their medical school also had seniors who were out assisting."
"Out of concern, she ran to the Hedong camp and stayed there until after 10pm just to see her father."
"That evening I contacted the 47th Army and told them not to worry. The people were already at the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy and we would ensure the safety of the people."
"As a result, that night, our demonstration battalion received four urgent military intelligence notifications from the 61st Division, which was so stressful that no one in the battalion got a good rest."
"I left the academy at 8:00 this morning to attend the meeting. I don't know why the 61st unit complained about me. From a soldier's perspective, I fulfilled my duty to protect the people."
"From a cadre's perspective, I have fulfilled all my duties, Chief, if you must criticize me."
"Then please tell me, where did I go wrong?"
Chen Mo looked up at Liao Hongjun with a burning gaze.
Invisibly, attack and defense are easy!
Liao Hongjun was stunned for a moment. He guessed that the people from the 61st Division would exaggerate. After all, the reasons they gave on the phone were too ridiculous.
But I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in the reasons.
"Are you saying that everyone in your demonstration camp, including you, hasn't done anything out of line or said anything out of line in this matter?"
"Sir, I swear to God, Commander." Chen Mo heard the Commander's tone of relief. He raised his left hand again and swore, "I guarantee on my character that there is no such thing."
"Think about it, Commander. If we really dared to say something out of line or do something out of line to upset Commander Wang, would he still call? Qinglong Gorge isn't far from here, so he would have come to kill us long ago."
"Oh, I see."
Liao Hongjun nodded slightly and sat quietly in thought, apparently wondering whether the boy in front of him was lying.
Chen Mo simply shut his mouth and waited.
He had just grasped the key point, using the most sensitive period of the entire battalion to expose the false report of urgent military intelligence by the 61st Division yesterday.
No matter from which perspective, the demonstration camp is right.
Liao Hongjun had nothing to say, and had no intention of pursuing the matter further.
Realizing that he could no longer control the young man in front of him due to the complaint, Liao Hongjun narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about the complaint for now."
"How do you explain the publicity?"
Hearing this.
Chen Mo took a deep breath. He took the brochure from the coffee table and pushed it in the direction of the political commissar. Then he stood up and said, "Commander, I don't think we did anything wrong regarding the military newspaper."
"At least the starting point is not wrong."
"The transition from mechanization to informatization is a process of rebirth, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The idea that a model battalion was born from the reconnaissance company, which had lost its designation, may not be accurate, but at least the concept is meaningful."
The political commissar remained silent.
Chen Mo continued: "Commander, I don't want to say that the demonstration camp is difficult, because building a camp is not an easy task."
“No matter how difficult the process is, we can overcome it.”
"We proactively submitted a report. This approach of not waiting and relying on others, but actively nurturing the seedlings of field officers, should not be criticized, even if it is not encouraged."
"The Demonstration Camp has produced nine collective second-class merits, and today we have another first-class merit martyr honor. We should be worthy of the title of Hero Camp."
"The demonstration camp was only a short time ago, only a few months, but the achievements it made are truly real."
"In the Northwest Military Exercise, we fought with all our might. Even if the entire battalion was wiped out, we still deserved to be called a victory."
"Commander, I want to be honest with you."
Chen Mo seized the opportunity, ran to the thermos again, poured a cup of tea for the political commissar, and placed it in front of him.
Liao Hongjun is difficult to deal with.
Therefore, if you want to have the right to speak when talking to him, you must first stand on the right side.
Chen Mo had already prepared a draft for this.
"Commander, the military network propaganda, all the military regions blame us, saying that it is because of our propaganda that the grassroots are unstable."
"Honestly, we don't agree with this statement. The emergence of the demonstration camp is not to break any rules, but is necessary for development."
"Some units can't accuse us of causing trouble just because we promote welfare benefits."
"If each unit performs its duties and pays attention to details, there will definitely not be discussions at the grassroots level due to a military network propaganda."
"Also, the commanders, take good care of the officers and soldiers. The organizational structure has changed, from a volunteer soldier system to a non-commissioned officer system. I believe the original purpose must have been to move towards a professional military path."
"If even the most basic needs of officers and senior non-commissioned officers cannot be met, how can we promote professionalism?"
"Also, the demonstration camp is currently under construction and is short on both personnel and equipment. Commander, you specifically told us that we don't have a second batch of people. If you'd like, you can train this year's new recruits."
"We have no objection to this. I personally know that it is difficult for the military district, but the problem is that some units are holding the "Division as Home" event this time."
"I heard that some units still need to submit letters of guarantee. This shows that some main combat divisions haven't fully launched their grassroots activities yet, and they need to rely on letters of guarantee to retain personnel, rather than relying on benefits."
"Commander, we are a new battalion. There are many people in the battalion from different units. Everywhere is doing the "division as home" activity, and the people in our battalion will also be affected."
"If we don't do this publicity and allow each unit to do what they want, the people in the demonstration camp will be uneasy and we won't be able to lead them."
"It doesn't make sense to allow them to discuss it and not allow us to discuss it."
"The Army Aviation Regiment has transferred important pilots for training, and the Radar Regiment has sent all its spare equipment for repair. Commander, honestly speaking, I have no choice."
Chen Mo spread his hands, looking as if he was the victim.
The living room fell into silence.
In fact, Liao Hongjun and the others knew it very well.
If we consider all the actions of the demonstration camp from the perspective of a single unit, there will be nothing wrong with that.
As the battalion commander, Chen Mo was often criticized not because he did anything wrong, but because he disrupted the balance between the various units.
This is similar to Xu Sanduo from Class 5 of Grassland. There is nothing wrong with building the road, but building the road destroyed the harmony and unity of the class, which is wrong.
After a long while, Liao Hongjun finally took a sip of the tea in front of him, then leaned back in his chair and said, "I acknowledge the objectivity of some of the issues you mentioned."
"But we can't look at the problem in a lopsided way."
"I admit the demonstration camp is excellent, but that's no excuse for your messing around. You said some units haven't been thorough in their grassroots activities, and that's impacted you. So, give me a specific example."
"Be practical, otherwise, it won't be that easy for you to get through today."
"yes!"
Chen Mo nodded, then reached out to tug at the corner of his clothes and straightened his body confidently.
He didn't say anything big just now. The publicity was for the subsequent development of the camp.
Since the promotion has stopped, you have to give something else, right?
Otherwise, the demonstration camp will be in a dilemma in a month. It will continue training without new equipment and personnel, and the size of the team cannot be formed.
The so-called First Informationized Battalion, in terms of organization, is ultimately just a mechanized infantry battalion or an armored battalion.
By then, how do I submit the training report?
If the major military regions ask about this, who will be held responsible?
All seven military regions are required to establish informationized battalions. As the first unit to take the plunge, the Kyoto Military Region is under pressure that Chen Mo cannot imagine.
Otherwise, why would he bother with all this trouble every day?
Isn't it just relying on waiting, relying on, and asking, and this method doesn't work at all?
"Commander, you asked me to give an example, so I'll give you one I saw."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "There are definitely actual examples. We're promoting this because we've been influenced by it."
"If left unchecked, this will seriously affect the troops' enterprising spirit."
"Let's get to the point. I'm not asking you to read the speech here." Liao Hongjun reached out and knocked on the coffee table to remind him.
"yes!"
"Take the first company of the third battalion of the mechanized infantry brigade for example. I did a background check with the battalion and also went to the logistics department to review the company's training resource application form."
"Last year, some situations occurred and some units underwent frequent rectification. The first company of the third battalion, as a tank company, underwent five safety inspections at various levels in one month."
"During each inspection, the soldiers' training days are cancelled and used to clean the place and wash the cars."
"In this way, over the course of a year, the entire tank company consumed less than 500,000 liters of fuel."
"Finally, at the end of the year, the company received praise from the regiment."
"Commander, this phenomenon is definitely not right. If other companies follow suit, the grassroots will be afraid to train and unwilling to train. This will spread from top to bottom, further leading to overall lagging performance and ultimately falling into a vicious cycle."
"I've seen the organization. The third battalion has one company with ten tanks. Each tank consumes about 400 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. If we train them freely, running hundreds of kilometers a day, we'll consume at least 10,000 liters of fuel a month."
"And the entire company of ten tanks actually consumes less than 500,000 liters per year. Commander, this means that the company's tanks have barely been moved for at least six months, just being cleaned."
"These comrades were transferred to the demonstration camp and brought their habits here. As soon as we publicized it on the military network, they immediately accused us of shaking the morale of the troops."
"They're promoting the division as their home, and we're promoting the Thirty-Three Heroes List. Commander, I don't think I'm wrong to promote something similar in this situation."
"If I must say I was wrong, it was that I shouldn't have broken this peace."
"Also, I personally disagree with the claim that the training resources our battalion consumes in a week are greater than what a mechanized infantry regiment uses in a month. This is a waste."
"The organization and tasks are different, so we can't use the same standards to measure them."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
But don't get me wrong, this time he wasn't pretending, he was really speaking from his heart.
no way.
It's because the old man in front of me is so stubborn and I have to show some attitude.
Liao Hongjun didn't say anything else. He picked up the promotional manuscript on the coffee table and read it carefully for more than ten minutes.
No one said a word during this time.
After he finished reading, he threw the draft on the coffee table, stood up and said, "There will inevitably be various problems during the reform phase."
"You didn't say anything today, and I didn't hear anything."
"The publicity has stopped, let's go back."
"yes!"
Chen Mo stood at attention, saluted, and watched the leader leave.
He understood what the other party meant. The higher-ups must be aware of these problems, but correcting them would take time.
From the military district level, the best approach is to maintain stability and gradually make changes.
Chen Mo waited until all the leaders had left before he leaned on the table with weak legs and sat on the sofa next to him.
This person has been able to confront several leaders in a row without losing the upper hand. This requires more than just courage.
If you say anything wrong.
It won't be so easy for him today. Actually, getting scolded is nothing. It's not like he hasn't been scolded before.
But the problem is, if you get criticized, you have to find a solution. You can't just stop the promotion with just one sentence.
Neither the people nor the equipment were given, and there has been no further news.
What can the camp use to develop?
While Chen Mo was thinking about the next move of the military district, Liao Hongjun came out of the reception room and turned around to see an old man who was disrespectful and eavesdropping.
It was Qin Quanan.
"Old Qin, when did you learn these bad habits?" Liao Hongjun frowned and said unhappily.
Chief of Staff Qin was caught by his old comrade, but he didn't care. He straightened his body, adjusted his uniform, and nodded towards the house: "Have you taught this kid a lesson?"
"How do you teach me?"
"The problems with the demonstration camp are obvious. This guy knows it better than anyone else, and every word he says makes sense. How can I teach him a lesson?"
That’s it!
Liao Hongjun raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "I recently took some time to get some things. I haven't been to the General Assembly for a long time. I'll go over and see my old comrades."
"With the military parade approaching, the major military regions can't take care of the demonstration camp now, but it will definitely be put on the agenda after the parade."
"When the time comes, if higher-ups really want to hold someone accountable, neither you nor I will be able to bear the responsibility."
Take some things to the General Assembly to visit old comrades?
At first, when Chief of Staff Qin heard this, he thought he had misheard. This was something that could come out of Old Man Liao's mouth.
Qin Quanan looked at his old partner in front of him in surprise. You know, this man is the one who has the final say in the military region.
Even Old Sun, that tough guy, usually doesn't dare to get angry in front of Old Liao. He has a very tough temper and a very tough hand.
Old Liao, who has never asked anyone for help in his life, actually plans to go to the General Armaments Department to use the relationship with his old comrades.
This is really rare.
After all, saying that you are visiting old comrades is a nice way of putting it, but to put it bluntly, it is just trying to save face.
Feeling awkward under Old Man Qin's gaze, Liao Hongjun glared. "Strange? They're going to be deployed to the southwest soon. They're the army's first informationized battalion. What's wrong with contributing a little?"
"No, nothing, it's reasonable!"
Qin Quanan shook his head slightly, watched Old Man Liao leave, then turned his head to look at the reception room.
Hey!
This kid Chen is quite hardworking.
He had just been scolded, but instead of showing any disappointment, he took a rag and carefully wiped the coffee table.
"This kid."
Qin Quanan grinned and said, "Just sell your face."
Anyway, the follow-up resources for the demonstration camp have not been implemented, and the military region is not doing well from top to bottom.
It’s better to be proactive.
With Liao Hongjun's presence, he felt a little more relaxed.
. . . . . . . . .
In the reception room.
Chen Mo kept wiping the coffee table until it made a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound. He had to wipe it. This little brother, the coffee table, had taken several heavy blows for him today, so he had to give it some reward.
Of course, no matter how busy he was, Chen Mo was always keeping an eye on the door.
When he noticed that there was finally no one over there, Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was so fucking exciting.
I came here for a meeting. Everyone else was fine, but I was almost thrown into a criticism meeting. Fortunately, old man Sun intervened and I escaped.
After all, no matter how difficult Old Man Liao is to deal with, he is just one person and he sticks to principles.
What is really a headache is the situation of a trial by three courts.
Chen Mo opened the door of the reception room and glanced outside. Not noticing anyone nearby, he quickly came out and closed the door.
Before he could take a few steps, Wang Jianyong came running over from a distance, looked Chen Mo up and down, and asked in surprise: "Battalion Commander, didn't I see you come out to rest just now?"
"Why did you suddenly go into the next room? Everyone in the meeting has already had lunch, and the afternoon meeting has already started. Are you still going?"
"Go to hell, go back to camp!"
Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves, looked fierce, and walked faster and faster with his feet moving fast!
He left almost as if escaping.
"So you're not going to eat?"
Wang Jianyong caught up and asked.
"Eat your egg, go back!"
Chen Mo quickened his pace. He just wanted to leave the military area as soon as possible.
As for the conference, Liao Hongjun said he could go back anyway.
Besides, the conference had already arranged the appeasement policies in the morning, and the afternoon would mainly focus on dealing with some units that were inactive.
It has nothing to do with the demonstration camp.
Seeing that the battalion commander was so anxious, Wang Jianyong scratched his head and did not dare to delay.
On the way back.
Chen Mo was grimacing. He had lost money on this trip. It was really a loss.
I held a meeting and ruined the publicity plan I had prepared.
But things still have to be done!
