As we all know, the "old three classes" refer to the junior and senior high school students of 1966, 1967, and 1968 who were in school after the storm began.
Because of the storm, the schools where these children were attending were basically closed, and most of the groups of street urchins that Xu Jianguo had seen when he went to Jingzhou were also made up of these people.
Many people think that since they can’t go to school, they might as well go to work. However, at this time, enterprises, factories and mines in various cities are basically full. Some units can even sell a job quota at a sky-high price, and some units are even in a state of suspension.
The occurrence of this situation has also caused a huge employment crisis in society. These knowledgeable and educated unemployed young people are already in adolescence, the age when hormones explode.
I can neither go to class nor go to work, and I can't stay idle at home, so I have to go out and wander around the streets.
Coupled with the instigation of some bad elements, these children did many things that angered God and people in a fit of rage, which attracted the attention of the central leaders. Finally, they decided to increase the intensity of the Down to the Countryside Movement and send all these people to work in order to consume their excessive energy and hormones.
While helping farmers improve their productivity, it can also reduce employment pressure in cities and appease the grievances of the people, killing two birds with one stone.
Xu Jianguo knew about this because their base received instructions from their superiors that the train carrying educated youth also contained a group of prisoners who were about to be sent to the Davari Labor Camp.
The superiors asked the base to send out some guards to assist the people in the labor camp to escort the prisoners to the farm to avoid any trouble.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Xu Jianguo, but Ma Guoliang called his office and asked him to go to the farm with him.
Xu Jianguo had just returned from the farm some time ago. As the weather started to get warmer, he went to see Zhou Huainan.
Because of this, he asked a few more questions on the phone, and then he heard a piece of unbelievable news from Ma Guoliang.
That is Wu Dajiang, the former commander of the Black Mountain Base, who is also on the list of new labor reform personnel.
After hearing this, Xu Jianguo became anxious. He hung up the phone, rushed out of the institute, and drove straight to the headquarters.
"You little bastard, why are you so anxious? You hung up the phone on me before I could even finish my words!" Ma Guoliang cursed at Xu Jianguo, who was looking furious in front of him.
"Commander, I'm so anxious. Tell me quickly, what is going on?" Xu Jianguo ignored Ma Guoliang's scolding and asked anxiously.
"What else could it be? It's because of the old leader! When we were young, we called Wu Dajiang Crazy Wu. We didn't expect that he would still be so impulsive even when he is so old!" Ma Guoliang said angrily.
It turned out that just three months ago, the General Staff sent an inspection team to the Montenegro base. Their mission was to inspect a confidential military equipment that was under research.
After receiving the notice from his superiors, Wu Dajiang quickly made preparations to welcome them. However, it was precisely because of several people in this review team that Wu Dajiang was transformed from the commander of the Black Mountain Base to a labor camp prisoner who was overthrown and criticized.
Ma Guoliang did not know the specific details. What he heard was that in the conference room at that time, several people made some suggestions to the Black Mountain Base, asking them to correct their ideological attitude and not learn from certain people.
He also said that this is a critical moment for the country and no one can make mistakes. Otherwise, even if you are the head of the military, you will have to accept the organization's isolation and investigation...
Xu Jianguo understood Wu Dajiang's character. Simply put, he was a human firecracker who could be easily ignited.
Among the people he knew, the only one who could be ranked alongside Wu Dajiang, or was slightly inferior to Wu Dajiang, was Deputy Commander Dong in his own base.
Xu Jianguo once said in front of Dong Jixiang that if the two of them got together one day, it would definitely be a double-barreled attack, destroying anyone they caught and blowing up anyone they touched.
It was because of what several people in the review team said that Wu Dajiang smashed the cup on the spot, pointed at those people's noses and cursed them, insisting that they explain who the military leader was pointing his finger at.
You have to know that Wu Dajiang used to be a guard platoon leader under Su Dingshan. The two had a life-and-death friendship. Moreover, among the several bullets that Xu Jianguo took out of the old man's body, one was the one he left to save Wu Dajiang.
Wu Dajiang also once blocked two bullets for the old man in order to save him. If you really count it, Wu Dajiang spent much more time with the old man than Ma Guoliang.
As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and Wu Dajiang has really stirred up a hornet's nest. Not long after the meeting ended, a call from the Jingzhou Political Department came to the office of the deputy commander of the Black Mountain Base, asking him to temporarily take over the position of base commander and to dismiss Wu Dajiang on the spot, awaiting further action.
As a result, the deputy commander didn't take it seriously after hanging up the phone, and continued to do what he was doing. He thought to himself, what the hell do you have to do with the Political Department? You want me to take action against my own people? You can forget about it!
It was not until Wu Dajiang's guard came to find him that he went to the office and told his superiors the order.
After hearing this, Wu Dajiang didn't care at all and handed over his pistol directly. The deputy commander became anxious when he saw it.
Later, after a lot of persuasion from Wu Dajiang, the deputy commander reluctantly accepted all this, and then the two of them got drunk in the dormitory that night.
The next morning, before the deputy commander woke up, Wu Dajiang was taken away from the Heishan base by a dozen political department guards sent by their superiors. His guard Zhao Gang was also taken away with him.
