Chapter 278: Rectification and Gradual Regularization
On the way back, Chen Mo leaned against the back seat with a cigarette in his hand, and the curling smoke blew out of the window with the breeze.
Along the way, Chen Mo was recalling the reactions of the military district leaders in his mind.
I wonder what kind of assistance the higher-ups will provide to the camp next.
The promotion was stopped, which directly affected my original plan.
But the commendation conference cannot be stopped. If the things that have been announced are stopped for no reason, it will greatly affect the enthusiasm of the entire camp.
Training cannot stop.
The reason Old Man Sun went over to cause trouble today was probably to criticize the issue of waste of resources. After all, the camp currently does not have a complete logistics chain.
After the annual training ammunition is approved, the logistics department's transport team is required to go to the demonstration operation at regular intervals and locations.
For the stingy old man Sun, this method is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, which is very painful.
It was just an accident that helped him out.
Maybe he did it on purpose to save the situation, anyway, the old man had a somewhat unstable personality.
Chen Mo himself couldn't figure it out either.
As for the assistance from the military region.
Chen Mo Mo really analyzed it and felt that the military district would not provide too much support, at least it would not cause serious damage to other units.
The combat effectiveness of the entire army will not be lowered because of the development of one battalion.
Why!
Chen Mo raised his hand and rubbed his solar plexus. The sudden disruption of his plans made him somewhat passive, and many of his original plans had to be changed.
It was already past two in the afternoon when the two returned to the Non-commissioned Officer Academy from the Jinyang Military Headquarters.
The cultural classes are over and lunch break is over.
Under the leadership of the cadres, each company drove tanks and carried shovels to disperse around the academy and continued to build training grounds.
Far away.
Chen Mo looked through the car window and saw Liu Min, the captain of the medical team, standing in an open space with her hands on her hips, holding a meeting with the female soldiers under her command and giving them instructions.
"Why is Captain Liu back from the hospital?"
Chen Mo frowned. During this rescue, dozens of soldiers in the entire battalion were injured, and many of them were seriously injured. They were taken to Jinyang 301 Hospital.
Many members of the medical team went with them to care for and nurse the patients, and to accompany them in the hospital on behalf of their family members.
Why did it suddenly come back?
When Wang Jianyong heard the question, he was also confused. He had followed the battalion commander to the military headquarters for a meeting early in the morning. He knew nothing.
He simply turned the steering wheel and parked the car next to the medical team's queue.
Hear the noise.
Liu Min turned around and noticed that it was the battalion commander who had returned. This female cadre, who usually looked heroic and artistic, rarely showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.
For no other reason.
However, on the night of the rescue, she threatened in front of half of the soldiers and cadres in the battalion that she would withdraw from the demonstration camp after the rescue was over.
The attitude was extremely bad. In that situation, it was almost like destroying unity, or deliberately embarrassing the battalion commander.
There was nothing wrong with staying in the hospital, but when she came back and met the real person, Liu Min couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
She waved her hand and told several female soldiers to line up. They straightened their uniforms and quickly came to Chen Mo, standing at attention and saluting: "Hello, Battalion Commander!"
"Um!"
Chen Mo returned the greeting, then glanced at the female soldiers in the medical team and found that their numbers were not complete.
He had an idea in his mind.
He is probably still in the back mountain, wandering around with Wang Luyi and hasn't come back yet.
No wonder the old bastard acted like a madman and called the military district to complain even though he was hundreds of kilometers away. It is not difficult to understand.
But why is this old bastard on guard against me?
Chen Mo was extremely puzzled. If he thought about it carefully, he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary in this regard, right?
It seemed like the old bastard had disliked him from the very beginning.
In fact, there was a reason why Wang Songhe was wary of Chen Mo. It was when Wang Luyi first went to the Hedong Howitzer Battalion.
Many veterans gathered near the cafeteria to watch.
The demonstration camp is quite special. The soldiers are generally older and many of them have families. The cadres, on the other hand, are younger and have higher education levels.
He was about the same age as Wang Lu, and the only relatively outstanding one was the battalion commander, so naturally he would be compared and teased by the old soldiers.
There were more and more discussions, and occasionally they reached Wang Songhe's ears. As a father, he could not stop the soldiers from talking.
But it is impossible not to take the content of the discussion to heart.
If you listen to it too much, you will become wary of it.
There is nothing strange about this, it’s just that Chen Mo himself doesn’t understand it.
"Why did you come back from the hospital? Are your injuries okay?"
Chen Mo pondered for a while and looked at Liu Min.
I noticed that the battalion commander didn't look unusual, he was just asking out of concern.
Liu Min took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your concern, Captain. My injuries are fine. The hospital doesn't need so many people. Some of the comrades with minor injuries have returned, and the instructor has also checked them out."
"Well, you still need to be careful. In terms of training, you can choose easier subjects to practice first."
"It won't be too late to resume training after you've fully recovered."
Chen Mo nodded and turned to leave.
Men and women think differently. Chen Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with the last quarrel. The root cause was that he felt sorry for the soldiers. There was no big deal if they had different opinions and argued a few words.
It doesn’t matter if you say a few harsh words, who doesn’t get angry sometimes?
But he didn't care. Liu Min felt that some things couldn't just be let go. At least she was wrong and she had to sort things out.
"battalion commander!"
"Well, is there anything else?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Captain Liu who seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Battalion Commander." Liu Min bit her lower lip and said, "I misunderstood you that night during the rescue. I'm sorry!"
"Also, Captain, although I'm a female comrade, I don't need any special care. We can handle daily training."
His words were a bit stubborn, but that was in line with the character of a recent graduate.
"Oh!"
Chen Mo laughed dumbly when he heard this. "I thought it was nothing. I forgot about it a long time ago. Also, as the captain of the medical team, you are responsible for the safety of the entire battalion. When necessary, the battalion commander must obey the advice of professionals."
“It’s not about right or wrong.”
"Besides, since the Demonstration Camp has incorporated the medical team into the combat team, it means that here, regardless of gender, we are all treated equally."
"What's more, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Here, men and women are absolutely treated equally, and the only consideration is the wounded, regardless of gender."
"Let's continue the meeting."
Chen Mo waved his hand and strode towards the direction where the other companies were gathering.
During the rescue, the relationship between the captain and the battalion commander became very strained, and the female soldiers in the medical team were watching.
Now seeing the two of them reconcile, the female soldiers standing in line looked on happily, feeling even warmer in their hearts.
After all, female soldiers pay more attention to these details.
"Captain, I don't think the battalion commander is angry. Just relax."
"Yes, Captain. The battalion commander also said that here we are valued just like the male soldiers. We medics can also become combat soldiers."
The two young girls, who had just graduated, were looking forward to the future and the development of the demonstration camp.
But just because they are happy doesn’t mean Liu Min agrees.
You know, ordinary female soldiers have never participated in battalion meetings, and they are not aware of many of the dirty operations.
From the perspective of ordinary soldiers, the battalion commander and the cadres in the battalion all have a glorious and upright image.
However, in the eyes of important cadres in the entire battalion, people like Chen Mo have nothing to do with Guang Weizheng at all.
Look at the happy female soldiers.
Liu Min glanced at them unhappily and said in a teaching tone, "Line up properly. Let's see what you look like."
"How can you compare with male soldiers? Have you forgotten about formation discipline?"
"Also, we promote gender equality in the military camp. You guys are all pig-brained, don't you understand? Gender equality in the demonstration camp means the training requirements are the same."
"If the men are mules, you will be donkeys too."
ah? ! ! !
A row of female soldiers were stunned, their pride and excitement gone.
In an instant, everything collapsed without a trace left.
In fact, what Liu Min said is not wrong. The medical team is having an easy time now because the team has not been divided yet and each team is training separately, so the coordination requirements are not high.
Once the squad is established, the existing company organization will be broken up and each person will be assigned to his or her own position.
Then there is really no difference between female soldiers and male soldiers. Whoever is slow will be punished, and whoever cannot keep up with the training will be in trouble.
At that time, I knew the value of the battalion commander's words about gender equality.
. . . . . . . . .
The other side.
Chen Mo walked around each company and saw that the soldiers were generally quite motivated.
There was no impact on the rescue, and there was no disharmony among the classes due to incomplete organization or the occurrence of casualties.
Only then did he feel relieved.
He instructed Wang Jianyong to call a meeting of several important cadres in the battalion, while he himself found a spot under the shade of a tree, enjoying the breeze and smoking one cigarette after another.
The word of promotion has been released.
The news of the commendation meeting was also spreading among the cadres. What was said in the morning had probably spread throughout the entire camp by now.
But the promotion was suddenly stopped, so the work details had to be slightly adjusted.
Man proposes, God disposes. Chen Mo didn't expect that while he was in the meeting, the propaganda manuscript was actually submitted to the editor-in-chief's office of the military district's propaganda department and military newspaper department.
Why isn't it so efficient normally?
The purpose was revealed too early.
The plan was strangled by the military district before it even took off.
Soon, several key cadres including Cheng Dong, Fang Peijun, Xu Zhanqi, Qin Xiaojun, Man Xuexi, Liang Hongjie, etc., who received the notice, all came to the shade of the trees.
Chen Mo didn't put on airs. Seeing that almost everyone was there, he pointed around.
"Everyone, find a place to sit."
"I won't waste any more time." Chen Mo took out the promotional material from his pocket and casually threw it to Man Xuexue: "Did you write this?"
"Hehe, you're still a sharp-eyed person, Captain." Lao Man held up the brochure, his eyebrows raised to the top of his head with a smile: "So, my level is not bad, right?"
"It's not low, but you're quite good at finding gimmicks." Chen Mo praised with a smile.
Then his eyes narrowed, and he became extremely serious: "But no matter how high your level is, there is no reason to hand you over to the military district now."
"Didn't you think twice before submitting it? Every unit in the entire military region is conducting political propaganda against us, and you suddenly come up with a list of thirty-three heroes. Are you going to let me put it in the newspaper?"
"A battalion openly challenged all the units in the military region. What do you think?"
"Today, the commander-in-chief, the political commissar, the logistics minister, and the chief of staff took turns to talk to me about this matter. The commendation meeting was stopped before it even started."
What the hell? ! !
Everyone heard that the propaganda was stopped.
Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded.
You know, it’s not just other units that are doing the “division as home” comfort work, the demonstration camp is also promoting various welfare benefits at the grassroots level to stabilize the status of grassroots soldiers.
They had already been notified that they wanted to publish the article in the military newspaper and compile a list of meritorious service members, and now the whole battalion was full of enthusiasm.
Just waiting for the battalion commander to come back and announce the specific date of the commendation meeting.
Everyone is trying their best to get on the list.
As a result, it was rejected by the military district?
"Battalion Commander, is this true?" Man Xuexue got up from the ground, a little at a loss.
"How can I tease you?" Chen Mo rolled his eyes and responded unhappily.
"Well, Battalion Commander." Cheng Dong couldn't sit still anymore when he heard the draft was rejected. He put his hands on the ground and got up. He said with a somewhat embarrassed look: "I arranged this. I didn't think it through."
"It's already happened, so just think about how to solve it. Now is not the time to assign blame."
Chen Mo waved his hand and downplayed his experience in the military.
His company commander was indeed inconsiderate, but Cheng Dong was usually diligent and never lazy, and could be regarded as the steward of the entire battalion.
Chen Mo didn't say anything more.
"That's what you said." Instructor Fang Peijun frowned. "Old Chen, the propaganda has been stopped, and other units have been promoting the idea of "taking the division as home" at the grassroots level. Our commendation meeting has lost most of its momentum."
"After all, our people come from various units, and the time is short, so it's impossible that there won't be any impact."
"How about I pay an outside newspaper company to publish a promotional newspaper and only distribute it here?" Man Xuexue suggested with an apologetic look on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Mo raised his head and glared at Man Xuexue: "Your actions will easily tear our entire camp apart."
"Go find an outside newspaper. If this gets reported to the military district, I'm afraid I won't be able to cover it up. Besides, the soldiers in the camp are all stupid. They don't even know the military district newspaper?"
"Everyone sit down. I still say the same thing. If something goes wrong, find a way to solve it."
Chen Mo patted the ground and motioned Man Xuexue and Cheng Dong to sit down.
"We can't publish our propaganda in the military newspaper, but that doesn't mean we don't have room to maneuver."
Said.
Chen Mo glanced at Man Xuexue and said, "You are the one who caused this disaster, so you are responsible for the consequences."
"The title 'Entering the Information Demonstration Camp, Recording Thirty-three Heroes' is quite creative. If I'm guessing correctly, these thirty-three heroes don't refer to a specific number of people, but rather all the comrades in the camp who have performed well. Is this a general reference?"
After he asked this question, many cadres present looked depressed.
Seeing that the battalion commander pays special attention to Man's studies, some cadres naturally feel unbalanced.
But this thought has disappeared at this moment.
When Man Xuexue mentioned the list of thirty-three heroes, the entire conference room, including Cheng Dong, didn't understand what he meant, thinking that there weren't so many people.
Only after explanation did everyone understand.
Unexpectedly, the battalion commander understood the meaning of it just by taking a look.
Bias is never without reason.
Chen Mo didn't need to wait for everyone's response. Just by looking at their expressions, he knew that he guessed right.
This thing is not difficult. Once the quantity exceeds a certain range, it can only be used as a reference.
Otherwise, how could there be so many heroes in the entire battalion?
"Well, since this is propaganda, if the military newspaper isn't working, we'll have to find the next best thing and weaken its influence in other ways."
"The entire battalion held banners, whether in the classrooms of the East Campus or the dormitories, washrooms, toilets, training grounds, or artillery ranges of the West Campus."
"Everyone is pulling up banners. The main purpose is to create a list of thirty-three heroes. The purpose is to get the whole battalion to participate."
"As for the title, Lao Man, you can come up with it yourself. I want to see the specific implementation within three days."
"Any questions?"
"No problem, I guarantee to complete the task!!"
Man Xuexi hurriedly expressed his opinion, stretching his neck like an ostrich, and was extremely confident.
"Um."
“Now that the method has changed, we can no longer continue with the previous thinking.”
Chen Mo picked up a leaf from the ground and tore it apart while saying, "Before I speak, I hope all the comrades present here will be mentally prepared."
"I encountered some problems in the military district today. If I'm not mistaken, the military district will provide our battalion with some other support later."
"The equipment will gradually arrive, and the personnel will be gradually replenished. Then our demonstration camp should no longer deceive itself with so-called privileges."
"If the entire battalion wants to get on the right track, motivation alone is not enough."
"I'll mention a few points, everyone please take note."
Chen Mo casually threw away all the broken leaves. This action also made him make a certain decision.
He looked at everyone present, who were sitting upright with their legs crossed, ready.
Chen Mo spoke.
"First, in the future, our battalion cadres will adopt a last-place elimination system, and officers will be evaluated every month."
Um?
Assessment?
Everyone blinked. The military district would have assessments for officers or soldiers. If they always performed poorly, it would have a huge impact on everyone.
Various benefits and salaries are closely related.
Is it necessary to have a demonstration camp?
Chen Mo saw everyone's confusion and said straight to the point: "Don't speculate. The assessment I'm talking about has nothing to do with the Army's outline assessment."
"The Demonstration Camp has many more cadres than other units. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
"As a unit built on science and technology, the information battalion, from soldiers to cadres, will inevitably place top priority on cultural level in the future."
"In the past, the Blue Army Camp was short, and since the cadres came from various units, we couldn't make demands."
"But from now on, our camp must have this requirement. The capable ones will be promoted, and the mediocre ones will be demoted. There's nothing to say."
Chen Mo paused for a moment, taking in everyone's performance, and continued, "Let me reveal in advance that the assessment content I'm considering will be related to combined command and complex leadership capabilities."
"I'd like to remind everyone here, especially former Blue Battalion officers, that being promoted doesn't mean you can just sit back and relax and win!!!"
"I'm sorry if anyone harbors a complacent mentality. I can promote you today and fire you tomorrow. But don't worry, at least the kitchen staff still has opportunities for you to make use of your remaining energy."
"In short, the first information-based battalion in the entire army, please be mentally prepared for rotational combat and training. As our equipment and personnel arrive, discipline will only become stricter than before."
"Because time waits for no one!"
Chen Mo swept his eyes across the crowd sternly. He was telling the main cadres present that this was not a joke.
When the battalion was small and just starting out, we could use emotions as a bond, but once we got on track, we had to rely on discipline.
Only iron-like discipline can build an iron-like army.
"Also, if there are new comrades joining us in the future, I hope you can tell them that they have the same opportunity. Here, we don't talk about feelings, we only care about results!"
"You are all outstanding cadres in the military region, or outstanding students in the academy. What you lack is comprehensive command experience, integrated tactics, and an understanding of information technology."
"I hope you all will show positive fighting spirit. I personally, and the battalion party committee, would be happy to see some of you stand out in a few months."
"Being transferred to the southwest is not an easy task. We are here to adapt, not to embarrass ourselves."
"Do you understand?"
"yes!"
All the officers quickly stood up and responded loudly.
This rectification is like a stone thrown into the water, causing a thousand waves.
They finally understood what "the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted" meant.
What a cruel method.
This is clearly forcing everyone to slap themselves hard and run forward without stopping.
It is conceivable that once the requirements and study habits are relaxed a little, many of them will be replaced by their rivals who are eyeing them covetously.
It would be so embarrassing if I don't work hard and end up failing the test and being eliminated by those who join later.
Lian Man, learning from the new platoon leader, began to become extremely vigilant and secretly thought that he had to be more careful in the future.
Don't let yourself get to the point where you can't even keep a platoon leader. That would be too miserable.
After the meeting.
Chen Mo stood in the shade of the tree for a while with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he had thought carefully about this meeting. It was impossible for the entire battalion to be so lazy all the time.
However, he didn't want to announce it so soon at first. He planned to wait until after the commendation meeting and promote a new group of cadres before cracking down on them.
But plans cannot keep up with changes.
This time when I went to the military district for a meeting, the propaganda plan was inexplicably shelved. The reason was that the discipline in the camp was too lax.
It must be rectified.
Chen Mo stood under the tree and thought for a long time, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with his performance.
But I don’t know why.
He always felt like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it.
He simply gave up and wandered around the training grounds of the various camps.
