Chapter 58 If I can’t hang the red flag, I’ll hang you
The words of encouragement prepared in advance were not used at all, and Huo Linshan no longer had the initial persistence.
It seemed that Chen Mo was full and even sat there with a look of unsatisfied appetite, waiting to be questioned.
There was excitement on his face, as if he hadn't performed well just now and wanted to continue performing well.
The veins on Lao Huo's forehead jumped. He forced himself to suppress the mania in his heart and looked at Chen Mo with a smile: "Scholar, eat more."
"You are at the age when you can eat, so we don't need to be polite."
"Instructor, I'm really full."
Chen Mo rubbed his belly. He was not stupid, so he naturally heard that the other person wanted to chase him away.
He simply stood up and said, "Company Commander, Instructor, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to the squad. The squad leader told us to memorize the rules and take care of the housekeeping this morning."
"Yeah, okay, now that you're full, let's go back to class."
"yes."
Chen Mo stood at attention, puffed out his chest, responded loudly, then turned and left.
As I said, Chen Mo knew very well that the instructor wanted to do ideological work on him and set an example for him.
But why didn't he just listen?
The reason is very simple. There is never a shortage of obedient boys in the army, and there is no shortage of soldiers who cry bitterly and shout slogans to work hard under the instructor's earnest teachings.
His eccentricity was simply to leave a deep impression on the company commander and instructor.
No matter whether it is a good impression or a bad impression, when the other person thinks of you, it is impossible for him to always think of the bad things about you, right?
We didn't make any mistakes, there will always be bright spots that will be remembered.
There are many talented people in the age group of seventeen or eighteen. The new recruits may not be able to adapt at first, but gradually many soldiers with good performance will definitely emerge.
Don't be dissatisfied. The fate of a soldier is really in the hands of the company commander and instructor.
The deeper the impression, the more opportunities there are for future progress. This was the "thorny" plan that Chen Mo had thought about day and night when he first entered the military camp, tailored for himself.
Of course, the prerequisite for the implementation of this plan is that the people above you think you are both civil and military.
You'd better actually have these abilities.
Watch Chen Mo leave the cafeteria.
Cheng Dong, who had been silent the whole time, shook his head and scolded with a smile: "This scholar is really cunning. Only an old man can lead him."
"I guess even if we change the squad leader, we might not be able to subdue him."
"He's not a sly guy." Huo Linshan raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "This kid is very smart."
"Okay, let's not talk about him for now."
"This kid is very thoughtful and only wants to improve through training. Don't worry about him."
"Old Cheng, the brigade headquarters is going to adjust the training syllabus for new recruits. I heard that the 82nd Brigade has a lot of good recruits from their physical training week."
"Yeah, I heard about that too." Cheng Dong raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, looking tired and said, "Let's not worry about the competition for now. Let's get through this difficult time first. Let's make adjustments. This week, we'll focus on housekeeping and the queue."
"Next week we'll learn about climbing tactics, prisoner capture, and the 400-meter obstacle course."
"Be prepared. The political commissar from headquarters will be coming to inspect the company at any moment. We can't let any more problems occur."
"We should inform the old man in Class 8 that if the political commissar comes, he will most likely come to see the scholar. Be prepared to welcome him at any time."
After Cheng Dong finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added: "Also, notify the squad leaders of each squad to immediately convene a company affairs meeting and focus on checking the psychological state of each new recruit in each squad."
"For comrades with unstable mental health, we must record and pay attention to them, and ideological education must also be in place this week."
"OK."
Under normal circumstances, if Cheng Dong, the company commander, dared to interfere in ideological education work, he would inevitably be scolded or insulted by Fatty Huo.
But now, he doesn't have that mind anymore.
If there is a deserter in the company, no matter whether you are the military commander or the political cadre, you cannot escape responsibility.
On the surface, the entire Second Company of Recruits seemed unaffected by Lu Jun.
But in fact, this negative effect has spread to the entire company.
For example, at the upcoming company meeting, each squad will report on the status of the new recruits. Don't underestimate this. If anyone has a problem or is not favored by the squad leader, it will be a disaster.
If it is recorded, it will accompany you for several years in your military career. As long as you are labeled badly, it will be much more difficult for you to stay in the army, join the party, get promoted, or take exams than other soldiers.
Originally, this kind of company meeting would be held once when the recruits first entered the camp, and the second time would not be held until at least one and a half months after the recruits' training.
The purpose is to better record the development process of each recruit after entering the military camp.
But now, because of Lu Jun, it was forced to be brought forward by one month.
The interval is too short, and many people don’t have time to grow.
But this is the reality, and it is one of the reasons why everyone hates deserters.
From the first day a new recruit joins the army, each person's status, performance, and enthusiasm are recorded in detail by the squad leader and company cadres.
Of course, there’s no need to worry about people like Chen Mo.
People who can practice Tai Chi with their instructor while having a meal are destined to be labeled as adaptable and actively training.
The shorter the time interval between two company meetings, the more advantageous it will be for Chen Mo and soldiers with strong self-discipline.
......
The first week of recruit training was extremely difficult, but the second week was quite slow.
Every day we either have to memorize orders, do housework, or attend drill classes.
In short, the overall training intensity is not high.
I don’t dare to ask for too high a price.
The brigade headquarters often arranges cadres to go down to the field, emphasizing the importance of competition and requiring them to work hard to avoid falling behind and to have the fighting spirit of always striving for the first place.
On the other hand, we emphasize the combination of work and rest, pay more attention to new recruits, and avoid overwork.
This made Captain Cheng so worried that he rubbed his head every day, but he had no idea how to solve the problem.
After all, who would have let such an embarrassing thing as desertion happen in their Second Company?
The higher-ups must definitely rectify this.
As for Lu Jun himself, he was locked up in solitary confinement for three days. On the second day after he was locked up, all the new recruits in the brigade were arranged to undergo re-examination in the camp.
Lu Jun did participate in the re-examination, but was still detained after it was over.
He was detained for another day before being released back to Class 7.
Chen Mo was not very clear about the final outcome of the company, but he knew that after being released, this guy had become a national treasure.
There are people following me when I do exercises, when I go to the toilet, and even when I wash my face and brush my teeth.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was January 12, 1999.
That is the end of the second week for new recruits.
Class 8.
Lao Pao brought the new recruits back to the dormitory after dinner. He turned his head and glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Deputy squad leader, go get a notebook and pen and take notes."
"Everyone hurry up, move your stools and sit down. Let's start the class meeting."
With an old veteran watching over there, who would dare to waste time?
The new recruits in Class 8 were all very active. In the blink of an eye, they had brought their stools, straightened their bodies, and sat down properly.
"Tell me about it."
"You've been in the barracks for half a month now. Starting next week, you'll begin tactical training and also undergo a housekeeping evaluation."
"The class with the best housekeeping will be awarded a floating red flag with the words 'Excellent Housekeeping'."
"I've already figured out where to hang the red flag after you get it back. The rest is up to you to fight for it."
As Lao Pao spoke, he deliberately stood up and pointed to a mottled wall next to the metal cabinet in the dormitory.
"There are twelve squads in the company, and only one mobile red flag. Today is Wednesday, and we'll have a major inspection on Friday."
"If I don't see the red flags hanging on the wall, I'll hang you up there."
"Do you understand?"
"clear!!"
All the new recruits in Class 8 roared together, their eyes determined as if they wanted to join the party.
You have to be firm.
Although the second week was a little easier, my physical fitness slowed down a bit. I spent the whole day memorizing, doing housework, and practicing marching.
This thing is pure mental torture.
They would often check on students’ recitation of regulations, or occasionally perform flying blankets.
The way Lao Pao dealt with them was different every day.
I heard that if they can't get the red flag, they will be hung on the wall. Who dares not to be proactive?
