Chapter 279: Wang Songhe Returns to the Academy, His Awareness of Crisis is Quite Strong
After the news of the last-in-first-out system was conveyed through the meeting, it quickly spread throughout the camp.
Some veteran cadres are full of confidence and enthusiasm, while new cadres are hesitant and excited.
Generally speaking, this system is only used at the military district level.
Even in the late 1990s, even the military regions had not formed this last-in-first-out system, because a large number of national defense students and military academy students had not yet entered various units.
Many unit cadres are former volunteer soldiers who were promoted in batches, as well as outstanding soldiers within the army.
Some platoon leaders, company commanders, and battalion commanders often work for ten or eight years until they are retired. Their positions are very fixed and there is not much personnel mobility.
What Chen Mo did was almost a pioneering effort.
Of course, the demonstration battalion also has this confidence. After all, there are too many cadres, and the number of lieutenants in the entire battalion can form a reinforced company.
It is very suitable for establishing this kind of healthy competition mechanism and officer mobility model.
The lower-level cadres usually do not raise any questions about the new system and just implement it.
But after repeated consideration, instructor Fang Peijun still felt that this system was too hasty, or at least too strict.
He saw Chen Mo, with his hands behind his back, watching the Type 98 main battle tank experiment at the tank company.
Lao Fang trotted over, took a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Chen Mo. He looked up and pointed in Liu Hongyun's direction and said, "Captain Liu is very dedicated. He has been thinking about the new tank all day."
"You have to love what you do. How can a tank battalion commander not love tanks?"
Chen Mo smiled, took the cigarette and lit it.
There are many kinds of abilities of cadres. Some have strong personal abilities, such as Cheng Dong and Wang Yanjun. If you give them some recruits, they can lead a reconnaissance company with their own abilities.
But there is another type, like Chen Mo, who is not very professional. Leading troops is not his strong point, let alone technical aspects. He only has theory.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you know how to identify and use people. As a former confidential secretary, he knows very well that professional matters can be left to professionals to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Just take charge of steering yourself.
Fang Peijun stood in front of them and watched for a while, then hesitantly asked, "Xiucai, do you really want to implement the last-place elimination system you just mentioned in the meeting?"
"Right now, the entire battalion is working towards the Meritorious List. Their enthusiasm is quite high. If someone really places last in the assessment, will the company commander be replaced?"
"Will frequent stacking affect combat effectiveness?"
"Don't worry about that." Chen Mo flicked away the cigarette butt with his hand, and said with his hands on his hips, "We didn't do it before because we were too few in number and the company size wasn't established."
"The situation is different now. The military district will probably provide some help later."
"Add to that the emergence of mechanized infantry, tanks, engineers, reconnaissance, logistics, electronic warfare, medical, and other units. Eliminating the traditional company organization and restoring the squad size is an inevitable process."
"The size of a squad is the combination of arms, and this combination is a modular building block approach. A change in commander doesn't have that much impact on combat effectiveness."
"On the contrary, the faster the stacking, the more helpful it will be to our combat effectiveness."
"Isn't it possible?"
Fang Peijun listened to Chen Mo's explanation with some doubts.
He had been in the demonstration camp for some time and had some understanding of it.
He admitted that the size of the squad would weaken the company commander's presence and that company-level cadres would become less important.
But to say that successive generations of chief officers will enhance combat effectiveness, Lao Fang thinks this is somewhat nonsense.
How can it be said that combat effectiveness can be improved by changing the chief officers frequently?
Realizing that the instructor had questions, Chen Mo smiled and rubbed his hands, pulled up his trouser legs and sat on the ground, patted the ground and invited Fang Peijun to sit down.
Then, Chen Mo pointed to the busy areas of several companies and said, "Lao Fang, look at our battalion. Do you know why we are called the Demonstration Battalion?"
"The first informationized camp!" Fang Peijun responded without even thinking.
"Yes, the first informationized battalion." Chen Mo nodded: "The reason I say the first one means there will be a second, third, and fourth one."
"We currently have support from the major military regions, the General Staff, the academies, and the military regions. We have received a tilt in resources for equipment."
"In terms of personnel, we have completed the combination of multiple cadres and technical backbones, but this is not without cost."
"One day, we will have to pay it back."
"In the future, all seven military regions will establish information-based battalions. As the first one, we will return a batch of seeds of information-based reform to the General Staff and the major military regions."
"And the cadres in our battalion now are the seeds of the next large-scale military reform."
Chen Mo didn't explain it clearly.
But Fang Peijun was an instructor after all, and even though he lacked grassroots experience, he understood what Chen Mo meant.
yes.
The first information-based demonstration camp not only has to shoulder the responsibility of establishment, but also the responsibility of training.
If the battalion is not in the formation period and implements the last-in-first-out system, then once other military regions need support from the battalion, there will be a large-scale loss of officers in the battalion.
By then, not only will the people who have been transferred out be incompetent and unable to support the work of the information camp, but those who remain will also be unable to support it due to lack of ability.
If we can’t hold on, it means our combat effectiveness will drop significantly.
Chen Mo's previous statement that only frequent rotations can ensure combat effectiveness meant that it would stimulate all the battalion cadres to learn and compete.
Once other military regions have a need and the higher-ups ask for it, the demonstration camp can freely select a large number of talented backbones to provide support.
It neither affects yourself nor others.
You can also expand your network to the seven major military regions.
The more Fang Peijun thought about it, the more frightened he became. He turned his head and glanced at Chen Mo, who was sitting on the ground and training in the distance with a smile on his face.
Lao Fang suddenly didn't know what to say.
As an old partner, he didn't even know that Captain Chen was so far-sighted.
The last-in-first-out system has such great prospects that it’s almost unimaginable.
Especially the sentence just now, in the next large-scale military reform, these cadres in the battalion will be the seeds of major military regions.
Good boy!!
Do you know what this means?
This will mean that once the seven major military regions form informationized battalions, the main backbones of those battalions will all be trained by scholars.
What is even more terrifying is that if one day, the authorities truly attach importance to informatization and even begin large-scale transformation.
Then these cadres in his own battalion will become the seeds of all units of the entire army, and these people are all brought up by one person.
How far can a scholar go in the army with this kind of influence?
Regimental commander, division commander, it's definitely impossible to stop, right? ! ! !
"Scholar, your idea is good!"
At this moment, Fang Peijun no longer had any doubts. The last-in-first-out system could indeed improve the combat effectiveness of the entire battalion.
As for the rest, Lao Fang didn’t know how to describe it.
It was really beyond his understanding.
"I was just speculating," Chen Mo said modestly, and continued, "Well, Lao Fang, this last-place elimination system can't just be a slogan; it needs to be implemented."
"When you have time, go find Chief of Staff Cheng and study the summary and application of tactics and strategies. This is the focus of our entire battalion in the next step."
"It would be best to have the staff cadres establish targeted support and study groups. Chief of Staff Cheng has the documents from the previous Blue Army camp construction team. Currently, there is only one requirement regarding the assessment."
"That involves the functions of main combat units at all levels and the common tactical coordination of units. We must master them as quickly as possible and strive to become multi-talented people."
"Okay, I'm fine anyway. I'll go talk to Old Cheng now." Fang Peijun stood up and patted his butt. "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"No, the method and approach are unimportant." Chen Mo shook his head. "In short, no matter what method I use, whether it's hanging my head on the beam or piercing my thigh with a needle, within half a month I must figure out exactly what the main and auxiliary combat units of the entire battalion do, how they do it, and what the functional definitions within the system are."
"The assessment will be at the end of this month, and I only care about the results."
"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so let's all work hard."
"Okay, I understand."
After Fang Peijun finished speaking, he left quickly.
Studying and supervising, this sounds like the work of staff officers and political workers. It seems that in the future, not only other cadres in the camp will be busy.
The people at the battalion headquarters will also be busy.
. . . . . . . .
The decentralization of the new system has indeed livened up the atmosphere in the camp.
It only takes one afternoon.
Cheng Dong compiled the previous team training arrangements and various data into a teaching manual and distributed it to cadres throughout the battalion.
The above records in detail the team training records, progress achievements, problems pointed out in the meeting, and details of the coordination between the teams.
Chen Mo had nothing to do, so he simply returned to the dormitory, lay on the big iron bed, and thought about how to carry out the next work.
In fact, Chen Mo spoke passionately about the decentralization of the new system, which can also stimulate many new cadres to clamor for learning and actively seek progress.
But this is just the surface. What does the new system represent?
These things represent endless cruelty.
It also means that the assessment is absolutely fair. Chen Mo was conveying fairness and justice when he held a meeting to appoint the company commander of the engineering company and the logistics supply platoon leader.
However, absolute fairness is actually unfair.
Some veteran cadres have studied mechanized chemistry for ten years, but their educational level is not high, so they adapt very slowly to information technology.
As long as you don't study the tactics deeply enough or don't understand them thoroughly enough, you won't be able to compete with those who graduated from the academy and are good at learning.
Therefore, there are quite a few cadres in the battalion, nearly 200 people, and only a few of them can stand out in the end.
The vast majority of people will be ruthlessly eliminated by the system, and even the fantasy of gaining experience to advance will be deprived, leaving them at the bottom of the pile.
The saying "One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers" is exactly this truth.
But this does not affect the enthusiasm of the entire camp.
After all, a position that you have fought for through assessment is always more attractive than a position that you have waited for.
And also.
If a wolf comes, do you need to run faster than the wolf to escape? No, you don't need to. You just need to run faster than your companions.
This is an absolute truth throughout history, both in China and abroad.
So, when Chen Mo went downstairs from the dormitory for dinner in the evening, he saw cadres holding textbooks and flashlights, hiding in slightly remote places.
Prepare to study alone.
The internal circulation has begun.
Chen Mo stood at the entrance of the training ground with his hands behind his back and watched for a while. It was strange to say, but since he returned to the camp, he had been thinking about how to make up for the failure of his publicity.
My mind is a little confused.
But I don’t know why, even though I have considered everything, I feel like I’ve forgotten something.
After much thought, I couldn't find the reason.
Chen Mo raised his head and tapped his forehead, then turned to look at Wang Jianyong: "Dayong."
"Hey, battalion commander, what's wrong?" Wang Jianyong stepped forward quickly.
"I always feel like something hasn't been considered properly. Is there something that hasn't been resolved?"
"No."
Wang Jianyong looked up and thought for a moment: "At the meeting this morning, we discussed publicity, and now everything has been implemented. As for promotions, Platoon Leader Wang has been recruiting people to build the company all day."
"Lao Man is also very active. I just saw him with two steamed buns in his pocket and a manual in his hand as he went to look at the documents."
"Wang Luyi from the back mountain hasn't returned yet. The medical team has been with him the whole time. Commander Wang definitely can't be contacted."
Holy crap!!!
When Chen Mo heard Wang Luyi, he was stunned.
Damn it, how could I forget about this?
It’s really not Chen Mo’s fault for having a bad memory. He held a meeting in the morning to arrange matters concerning the martyrs, and after the meeting he was lectured by several leaders in turn. The publicity draft was rejected and the plan was shelved.
He has been considering whether the last-in-first-out system is appropriate, as there are too many things going on in the camp right now.
This directly led to him completely forgetting about the fight.
"Why didn't the old bastard call me all day?" Chen Mo was a little panicked.
"We fought, all the time, but not much this afternoon. Captain, you said we can't let Qinglongxia get in touch before five o'clock."
Wang Jianyong spread his hands with an innocent expression.
Chen Mo's eyelids twitched and he looked up: "What time is it now?"
"It's past six."
"Then why hasn't anyone come to talk about it?"
"Because Qinglongxia didn't call anymore." Wang Jianyong was a little confused. To him, if they didn't call, it meant they weren't urging us anymore.
Just right, everyone is happy.
"If I hadn't fought, I'm afraid the problem would have been even bigger."
Chen Mo took off his military cap and scratched his head. A sense of foreboding grew in his heart: "Where's that guy? He hasn't come back yet?"
"It's almost there. The mountain isn't very big, so we should be back soon."
Wang Jianyong looked around. He had been wandering around the camp and didn't pay much attention to Wang Luyi.
The other party is not from the camp, and the camp is full of busy soldiers. Who would care about the whereabouts of an outsider?
Chen Mo didn't respond. He quickly walked to the gate of the West Campus and checked the entry and exit records.
It was discovered that after the four female soldiers of the medical team went out to register in the morning, there was no record of them returning to the camp. At this time, it was almost dark.
"How careless! How could I have forgotten about this?"
Chen Mo dropped the record book, left the gate and headed towards the back mountain.
Wang Jianyong saw that something was wrong, and he finally lost his composure. He hurried to the direction of the administrative building, pushed a 28-inch bicycle, and pedaled like a Hot Wheels, chasing in the direction of Chen Mo.
"Battalion Commander, you go to the east, and I'll go to the west to take a look."
"These are the only two easy routes into the mountains. A group of young girls like them probably wouldn't take the difficult routes."
Chen Mo didn't respond, just waved his hand.
The reason why they did not arrange for the soldiers in the camp to come out and look for him was because the two of them were confident and knew that there was a high probability that nothing would happen.
Because the military parade is approaching.
People from the Armed Police Corps are responsible for patrolling the area. Places like Taishan are next to the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and the academy has an information battalion here.
There is a certain level of confidentiality.
There are armed police posts on duty at Mount Tai, so it is impossible for any unidentified people to hide in the mountains.
It is likely that the girls are young and too playful to remember to go down the mountain.
Chen Mo’s guess was indeed correct.
As he walked up the mountain, on the east side of Mount Tai, a group of five girls in plain clothes, each looking more miserable than the other, were walking down the mountain cautiously.
When we say they are miserable, we don't mean that they fell or were injured, but that they look miserable.
Wang Lu was holding a pair of sandals in one hand. The mountain road was difficult to walk on and her shoes were broken and could not be worn at all. She walked barefoot and carefully.
The others are not much stronger.
They strung the aluminum lunch boxes they had taken away in the morning together with branches and hung them around their necks, holding a bunch of crabs and some small crucian carp in their hands.
There was mud, water and sand everywhere on my face and arms.
Despite their ugly appearance, they were quite cheerful.
The female soldier at the front of the line raised her hand to indicate the fish she had caught and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, when we get back, we'll go to the canteen to process it and there's fish soup for us."
"I don't want to think about fish soup anymore. I just hope I won't be scolded when I get back." The female soldier behind put her hands on her chest and made a praying gesture.
"No, the captain is not in the camp. Besides, we are just accompanying Lu Yi to play. This is allowed by the camp headquarters."
Another female soldier smiled sweetly and looked back at Wang Luyi: "Luyi, if the battalion commander scolds us later, you have to help."
"Okay, I will definitely unite with you."
Wang Lu responded with a grin.
She was young, and Chen Mo said that Wang Songhe had a mission, so she didn't think about the phone call at all.
There is water, fish, and wild fruits in the mountains. In comparison, it is much more fun than the boring military camp.
Several people went down the mountain talking and laughing.
As they were walking, the female soldier who was talking about making fish soup suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze.
"Let's go, it's getting dark, why are you stopping?" the person behind urged.
"The battalion commander is here, it's bad!!"
The female soldier at the front of the line responded nervously, hurriedly took off the lunch box tied around her neck, and threw all the crabs and crucian carps on the ground.
Quickly fix your hair, straighten your clothes and stand up straight.
When the people behind heard the reminder, they looked up and found that Captain Chen had indeed arrived and was standing less than twenty meters away from them.
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. To the medical team members, the battalion commander is definitely not as scary as the team leader.
But you still have to have the right attitude.
The people behind followed suit, hurriedly dropped the things in their hands, straightened their clothes, and stood at attention.
For a moment, crabs were crawling around on the ground and crucian carps were jumping around. Even Wang Luyi, who was not from the demonstration camp, was a little panicked by the atmosphere.
She stood there clutching her shoes tightly, feeling somewhat bewildered.
Wang Luyi had no idea that she was brought out at Chen Mo's behest. She only knew that the battalion headquarters allowed these female soldiers to accompany her out for a walk.
When Chen Mo saw the miserable looks of these people, he was stunned at first, but after observing them, he made sure that they were all fine.
I saw a few people trying to line up there.
Chen Mo laughed dumbly and said, "If you're not wearing a military uniform, there are no need to be so strict. Hurry up, the crab is running away."
"If you don't catch them now, you'll have wasted a day."
"Ah, thank you, Captain!"
“Thank you, Captain!!”
When the female soldiers heard that they were not blamed, they happily bent down to pick up the things, and then supported Wang Luyi and went down the mountain around where Chen Mo was standing.
Seeing Wang Lu walking down the mountain barefoot with a sandal in one hand and the side straps of the sandals all coming undone, Chen Mo frowned.
"Leave a lunch box here. Wang Luyi, wait a minute too. You can't walk back barefoot."
"oh!"
Wang Lu lowered his chin slightly and stood there quietly. Seeing this, the other female soldiers quickly dropped their lunch boxes and hurried back to the camp.
After all, no soldier is willing to stand with cadres like battalion commander or regimental commander, especially when he has made a small mistake and feels guilty.
They went down the mountain.
Chen Mo didn't say anything, but just picked up some broken leaves and some dry firewood nearby and put them into a pile.
Use a match to light the fire, then pick up the lunch box, take off the lid, and place one corner sideways on the fire to roast.
"Give me your shoes."
"oh!"
Wang Lu took a small step to the fire, put his shoes on the ground, and squatted beside it to watch.
Neither of them spoke.
Chen Mo heated the lunch box lid and placed it on the broken part of the sandal. After softening the glue, he pressed the broken strap on it and repaired it manually.
Repeat the same process with the other pair of sandals.
After everything was glued, Chen Mo tested the temperature with his hands to make sure it would not burn anyone before placing the sandals on Wang Lu.
"good!"
Wang Luyi did as he was told, and Chen Mo put out the fire completely, then covered it with some soil scooped from the lunch box lid.
Only then did he lead his men down the mountain.
As night fell, the two of them walked towards the camp, one in front and one behind, without any communication.
The dusk in the mountains always reminds people of old times. At this moment, Chen Mo's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He recalled many scenes of their interactions in the previous life. He wanted to start a conversation several times.
Finally he moved his mouth, but no sound came out.
The main thing is that there is nothing to say. The person behind me is her, but not her.
Wang Luyi was simply not good at speaking, especially when he was in an unfamiliar place, following a member of the opposite sex who was neither unfamiliar nor familiar to him.
The girl's modesty also made it impossible for her to initiate a conversation.
The two of them just walked like this, which was actually quite good.
It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long.
Chen Mo had just come down the mountain and had not taken a few steps when he saw a military vehicle speeding towards him.
At first, Chen Mo didn't take it seriously. He thought that the female soldiers had returned to the academy and asked other soldiers to pick them up.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Because the military vehicle was moving very fast, and behind the vehicle, a fierce general was riding a 28-inch bicycle and waving at him hard.
Because the distance was too far, Chen Mo couldn't see who the fierce general was, but on this broken road, a fucking bicycle could compete with a four-wheeled military vehicle in speed.
Mostly it's abnormal.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Chen Mo's eyes fixed and his brows twitched slightly.
Turning to look at Wang Luyi, she was covered in sand and mud, her jeans were frayed in several places, and her hair was a mess.
But in this case, he followed me down the mountain.
Who is in the car?
In the entire demonstration camp, no one would drive like this, especially when the headlights can see them. No one has the courage to do so.
unless
Chen Mo thought about the afternoon when the old bastard no longer called.
His scalp tightened, and without time to think, he turned around and said, "Lu Yi, you go back with the car. I have something else to do and need to go up the mountain. Please tell me a message. You don't have to wait for me."
After saying that, Chen Mo ran up the mountain.
This sudden change left Wang Lu stunned.
Just at this moment.
The military vehicle stopped and a colonel, over 1.7 meters tall and somewhat plump, got out from the passenger door.
It was Wang Songhe who came by plane from Qinglong Gorge.
Old Wang looked at his daughter, who he hadn't been able to contact for a whole day and night. She was covered in dirt, and his eyes were almost filled with anger.
Seeing Chen running up the mountain, Lao Wang was furious. He slapped the hood of the car and yelled, "Stop right there, you bastard!"
"See if I dare to skin you alive, you son of a bitch, get down here!"
When Chen Mo heard the scolding, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked himself for running fast.
As for the scolding, whatever, I'm used to it.
This scene made Wang Jianyong, who was riding his bike desperately to report the news, completely relieved.
You’re right.
Even he, an old scout, had to admire the battalion commander's quick reaction speed.
The sense of crisis is quite strong!
