Great Power Army Reclamation

Old Zhao waved his hand: "Okay, then you can let it go. I will come with you every day to patrol the border and herd the sheep. I'll see who dares not to let it go!"

"Thank you, sir!" The cheers were uniform and deafening.

Lao Zhao is still as domineering as ever, which makes people admire him.

"Chief Teacher, everyone chose me to be the battalion commander of the border patrol battalion, but I am not capable enough. I would like to suggest that the teacher be the commander of our battalion, okay?"

Wei Quanyou struck while the iron was hot. Since the arrival of his daughter and son-in-law, Wei Quanyou, who had always been taciturn, seemed to have changed his temper. Not only did he talk more, but his brain also became faster.

"Okay, welcome back to the team, teacher!" This time there was warm applause that lasted for a long time.

Lao Zhao did not hesitate at all, and immediately stood at attention with a "pop!" This represented the return of the soldiers, so Lao Zhao, the chief division officer, was completely demoted to the commander of the first battalion.

It's just that this amateur team doesn't have a car, but many of the veterans have horses. Wei Quanyou simply handed the reins of his horse to Lao Zhao.

"Batalion Commander, this horse was given to me by Ye Wancheng. Let it be your ride from now on!"

"Okay, I'll accept this. I will patrol the border every day from now on. But I have agreed in advance that wherever I patrol in the future, you will be responsible for taking care of food and housing!"

The soldiers laughed "haha". Needless to say, let alone the teacher and the commander, even if other comrades rushed to someone's home, who could care about food and accommodation?

The reason why Lao Zhao is willing to be the battalion commander is actually not just because it is something he is willing to do.

Also, he found that the harmony among the various units in Junken City was obviously not as harmonious as before.

There used to be competition between companies. How could anyone with a military background be willing to lag behind others? It's just that competition is competition, but once a brother unit needs help, people from other companies will rush forward without hesitation.

They are not only colleagues, but also comrades-in-arms. On the battlefield, you can give your back to the other person.

Today, many units in Junken City are closer than before. But the camaraderie between comrades was gone.

There is even a tendency to hate those who have them and laugh at those who don’t. When you encounter difficulties, not only will they not help you, they will also laugh at you. This is the most intolerable thing for Lao Zhao.

The reason why we start with this animal husbandry company first is that both the agricultural company and the animal husbandry company are currently the largest companies in Junken City. And also the most domineering.

Of course, this is also related to the company's leadership. Secretary Xi Dehe is the veteran of the infrastructure company, while manager Cuicui is Ye Wancheng's daughter-in-law.

This is not to say that these two people are overbearing, but that the people below are pretending to be powerful. As veterans begin to retire, most of the children of the Corps have gone to various companies.

Agricultural and animal husbandry companies have also begun to hire a large number of external personnel. These people are migrant workers with no skills and do not meet the XPCC naturalization system, so they can only do some manual labor.

However, Junken City has never discriminated against immigrants, and all are treated equally in terms of wages and benefits. These people live very well here. Some start families and start businesses here, and some simply drag their families from their hometowns to earn a living.

This is that Guangzhou in this era is similar to Shenzhen, except that Junken City is in the far northwest.

However, if there are more people like this, there will naturally be many disadvantages, such as no sense of belonging, and no blood-thicker-than-water friendship like those in the Corps.

Just like the matter of not letting Wei Quanyou herd sheep, it was actually the people below who did it. If Wei Quanyou went to Ye Wancheng, this matter could be easily solved.

But Wei Quanyou was not a person who liked to cause trouble to his comrades, so he would rather go to Lao Zhao than call Ye Wancheng.

Lao Zhao rode his horse back home happily. There was no horse pen in the Municipal Party Committee Family Courtyard, so the horse had to be tied up in the yard. And the fodder was brought back from Lao Wei.

After the establishment of the Public Security Bureau, the original guard company is no longer available. You can't ask people from the Public Security Bureau to feed him, right?

As soon as Lao Zhao rode his horse into the yard, many people saw it. The yard was not big, and it was inhabited by people from the municipal party committee and government. They all came out to watch the fun. Mainly because I haven't seen this one in a long time.

Think about it a few years ago, everyone used to ride horses when going out, but in a blink of an eye, almost everyone has a private car.

There are so many cars in Junken City, who can spare the leaders a few cars? Most of the leaders' cars are donated by automobile manufacturers.

People are like this. Once they don't have something, they will always think of it. At this time, a group of standing committee members had already gathered around Lao Zhao's horse and began to comment.

Lao Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to them. These guys were still on the job. When Lao Zhao saw them, he felt awkward, so he turned around and went upstairs.

Aunt Gan smiled when she saw him coming back and helped him take off his coat. Because she saw that the old man was very happy today.

I haven't seen this expression since the day Lao Zhao retired.

"Why are you so happy?" Aunt Gan couldn't help but ask.

Lao Zhao smiled "hehe": "I became the battalion commander today."

Aunt Gan's smile faltered and she stopped, and asked with some confusion: "Aren't you already retired? Why are you demoted so much?"

Old Zhao was stunned for a while before he understood what his wife was saying and couldn't help laughing. Then he explained the cause and effect.

Aunt Gan was a little unhappy now. The old man was sleeping outdoors again at this age, and she was worried that his body wouldn't be able to bear it.

But she understood the old man's temper. Once a decision was made, no one could persuade him. I can only quietly prepare some clothes for him. Although it is spring now, the cold in northern Xinjiang is severe, and those who get up early and stay late need to prepare coats.

Especially since the old man has switched to riding a horse again, which may be different from riding a car.

After Lao Zhao finished his meal, he took a bath while humming a little tune. In fact, people of their generation have a problem, they don’t like to take baths very much.

It's not just because of laziness, but because when I first entered Xinjiang, I was afraid of the lack of water. Who could imagine doing such a thing with half a teacup of water, including rinsing your mouth and washing your face? But that was the way it was at that time.

So much so that when he saw others taking a shower with the faucet running, Lao Zhao couldn't help but feel distressed.

The reason why you took the initiative to take a shower today is because you don’t know where you will live every day in the next few days?

After all, the 274-kilometer border would take two days to cover on horseback. Because horses are animals, they usually have to take a good rest after running for 100 kilometers. If they are too tired, the horse will become useless.

Ye Wancheng came home late, and Mei Hua told him about Lao Zhao coming back on horseback. Ye Wancheng just smiled and didn't care.

People are retired and have nothing to do, so why not ride a horse? I just want to be happy when I ride a camel back.

Until now, Ye Wancheng still wants to go for a ride on horseback from time to time, but his wife firmly prohibits it.

Erhong and Masha's new house has been packed up. Today they took their children to live there. Only Ye Mao and the old couple were left in the house, which seemed a little deserted.
