"Captain, there's a call from the office looking for you!"
After hearing this, Cheng Tuan's smile disappeared immediately. What was coming finally came. He adjusted his hat and walked towards the office!
Political Commissar Zhao asked the guard to take Qin Jianye and Tu Long to the dormitory area to rest, and then he followed.
There was no need to guess, Qin Jianye also knew that the call from the top at this time must be related to the position of the battalion commander of the third battalion.
I’m afraid Zhou Jinan can’t wait any longer now?
It's a pity that his wish will end in vain! Qin Jianye's eyes darkened.
Remembering that the fourth brother was still in the reception room, he hurried over.
After Cheng Tuan returned to the office, he immediately picked up the phone and answered it. As soon as he opened his mouth, the person on the other end of the phone started bombarding him, asking him if he was going to disobey orders and why he hadn't issued Zhou Jinan an appointment report yet?
Cheng Tuan's head hurt from the noise, so he moved the phone away from his ear. When he heard that there was no sound on the other end, he smiled and said, "Commander, you said that if there is no suitable candidate in half a month, then Zhou Jinan will be appointed. But now I have a suitable candidate, so there is no way to appoint him."
After hearing this, the other party immediately showed displeasure: "The right person? Who is it?"
"It's Qin Jianye, the battalion commander who was originally in office. He's the hero of our entire military region!"
“Nonsense, his hand is injured and he won’t be able to train for battle anymore.
I know you care about your soldiers, and I value him, but he is no longer able to be the battalion commander in his current situation. You can arrange a position for him as the head of the logistics department, and he will be promoted in the future!"
Knowing that the chief would say this, Cheng Tuan said calmly, "Chief, what if I say that Qin Jianye's hand is healed?"
"This joke is not funny at all. Everyone knows his situation well. I don't have time to waste time talking to you. I'll tell you one last time. Issue Zhou Jinan's appointment report now. I want him to report to your regiment on time tomorrow!" The person on the other end of the phone gradually lost his patience.
Cheng Tuan was not in a hurry at all: "Report to the commander, I am not kidding, just now Qin Jianye shot a target at 1,200 meters with a sniper rifle, and his marksmanship has improved more than before.
Just like you worry that he can't carry a gun or fight, none of this will happen.
If the commander doesn't believe me, he can come and inspect at any time. Besides, next month there will be a military exercise between the three regiments. I believe that Qin Jianye will be able to outshine all the others and come out on top, proving with his strength that he deserves to be the battalion commander.
That Captain Zhou is also very good, but unfortunately I only have one vacant position for a battalion commander. If he is in a hurry, I will definitely give him priority next time there is a vacancy!"
He spoke sincerely, but it made the leader on the other end of the phone very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
If Qin Jianye's hand has really recovered, then there is nothing wrong with him coming back to be the battalion commander.
If he forced Zhou Jinan to be the battalion commander, I am afraid that the entire brigade and even the entire military region would be dissatisfied.
If this matter attracts the attention of the higher-ups, he will become the target of public criticism, and when they investigate further, his deeds will not stand up to scrutiny.
He could only suppress his displeasure and said, "Okay, then I'll watch the military exercise and see if he's really like you said. If he's eliminated early, I'll hold you responsible!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Just as Cheng Tuan was about to nod in agreement, he heard a beep from the other end of the line, indicating that the call was hung up. He immediately hung up the phone in a good mood.
After feeling depressed for half a month, I finally got a chance to feel proud.
Looking at the man who looked refreshed, Political Commissar Zhao couldn't help but joked: "You are really good. You even dared to disobey the commander's orders. You are not afraid that he will make things difficult for you."
"I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. Give the order to focus on training Qin Jianye in the future. I want him to shine in the military exercise next month and let those people who are eyeing him covetously see that our sharpshooter is back."
On the other side, Qin Jianye came to the reception room, applied for permission, and drove the leader's jeep to send the fourth child to the art troupe.
The art troupe where Qin Jiayi was located and Zhou Jinan's second troupe were only ten kilometers apart.
At the same time, Zhou Jinan and Xiong Wenjing were together, both waiting for the appointment notice from their superiors, but it was already break time and the notice had not come down yet.
Zhou Jinan became a little anxious, so he asked Xiong Wenjing to find out what was going on.
Xiong Wenjing used the phone in the art troupe to call her cousin.
She replied very quickly. When she finished listening to what was said on the other end of the phone, the phone slipped from her hand and fell on the table with a dull sound. She looked like she had lost her soul, and kept muttering, "How is it possible? How could this happen?"
Zhou Jinan, who was standing by, was confused and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Is there any accident?"
Xiong Wenjing finally came to her senses and looked at Zhou Jinan with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid your position as battalion commander is going to be in jeopardy!"
"What's going on? Can you explain it clearly? Is it that the leader over there doesn't want to accept me, or?" Zhou Jinan frowned, and his expression became extremely gloomy.
In the past, he always had a gentle smile on his face, and he was calm and unperturbed no matter what happened. This was the first time Xiong Wenjing saw him with this expression. It seemed that this incident had dealt him a big blow.
Thinking of what she had just heard, she immediately became indignant: "It's all because of that Qin Jianye. I heard that he has recovered from his injury and has returned to the team. The position of battalion commander is his!"
"How is it possible? He had a gunshot wound on his wrist, and the bullet broke the bone. It's only been two months, how could he have healed so quickly? Could it be that the commander over there is making up an excuse?" Zhou Jinan didn't believe that Qin Jianye's hand could be healed.
He was also a soldier, had held a gun, and had been to the battlefield. He had seen with his own eyes how his comrades' bones became deformed after being shot in the legs.
What's more, Qin Jianye's injury was in his wrist, where the bones are thinner. How could it possibly heal?
Xiong Wenjing shook her head: "It shouldn't be fake, otherwise it would be easily exposed. What's more, my cousin is of a higher rank than the head of the group, so he shouldn't dare to fool my cousin."
Zhou Jinan's heart sank immediately. He thought that he would have to stay here. His comrades had said so many flattering words to him. If he couldn't go to the First Regiment to serve, wouldn't he become a joke in the company?
Especially since he paid for many of his comrades to have dinner out of his own pocket, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? He couldn't afford to lose this person.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xiong Wenjing reproachfully: "Didn't you say that my becoming the battalion commander was a foregone conclusion? Now someone unexpectedly shows up. How can I face those comrades in arms in the future?
