At 5 p.m., the provincial military region’s year-end work summary meeting concluded successfully.

In the past year, the Binjiang Military Division has achieved a lot, and Commander Wang received a certificate of excellence for the advanced collective on behalf of the military division.

It's New Year's Eve in a few days, and everyone is eager to go back.

Commander Wang and Political Commissar Chen were preparing to return home when they suddenly remembered what Mayor Chen said on the phone at noon. They felt it was necessary to report to their superiors, so they simply handed the certificate to the accompanying staff officer, and together they found the director of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region.

"Old Wang, what's the matter?"

"Director Ji, we just received a piece of news and will report it to you immediately."

Director Ji didn't bother to wave goodbye to the heads of the military divisions who were attending the meeting, and subconsciously asked: "What's the news?"

Commander Wang looked back behind him and said: "You should have an impression of our Binjiang Salted Fish. He is now the captain of the Binjiang Naval Reserve Rescue Ship Brigade. Not only did he serve as an 'escort captain' for his first visit to Malaysia with the naval fleet this year, Tanzania and South Africa, their rescue ship fleets also undertook the submarine rescue and rescue scientific research projects assigned by the East China Sea Fleet."

The crash of the Russian Navy's Kursk nuclear submarine, resulting in the death of more than 200 officers and soldiers, was a big news last year.

Director Ji realized that the submarine rescue and rescue project carried out by Xianyu should be related to the crash of the Russian Navy's nuclear submarine. Although the Chinese Y Army requires the entire military to carry out large-scale science and technology training, scientific research projects such as submarine rescue and rescue are obviously not available in active service, and only scientific research units and units such as the Binjiang Naval Rescue Ship Brigade can carry out such projects.

After all, the Linghai Reserve Battalion, where Xianyu served as battalion commander, was not only good at fighting floods and rescue operations, but was also good at scientific research. It has been rated as an advanced collective for science and technology training by the Military Commission, and three scientific research projects have been rated as the second and third prizes for the Army's Scientific and Technological Progress Award respectively.

Director Ji was deeply impressed by Han Yu and the Linghai Reserve Battalion, and asked, "What next?"

"He is helping the East China Sea Fleet conduct scientific research. The East China Sea Fleet may consider that it cannot provide much financial support and plans to use him as a candidate for the National People's Congress."

"Can I choose?"

"Director Ji, you know better than us whether we can be selected."

"If we really let him be a candidate, he can really be selected. In fact... in fact, most of the representatives of our People's Liberation Army delegation are not selected, but directly designated."

Commander Wang smiled and said: "It's good to be selected. In any case, he is from our Binjiang and a reserve officer of our Binjiang."

"This is different. Wait a minute. I'm going to see if Secretary Chen is gone."

"Director Ji, what's wrong?"

"For such a big matter, we need to report to Commander Zhu and Political Commissar Miao!"

The Provincial Military Region holds a meeting, and Provincial Secretary W Chen, who is also the first political commissar of the Provincial Military Region, will attend.

Director Ji hurriedly walked to the foyer. The commander and political commissar had just seen off Secretary Chen. He quickly reported to his two immediate superiors that Han Yu was selected as a candidate for the National People's Congress by the East China Sea Fleet.

Commander Zhu was very surprised and asked in a low voice: "Political commissar, can a pre-appointed officer be a deputy to the National People's Congress of our army?"

Political Commissar Miao thought for a while and said: "The militia reserve is an important part of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Commanders and fighters of the militia reserve should be able to serve as representatives of the People's Congress of the People's Liberation Army delegation. At least there is no explicit regulation."

"The Navy does not have a reserve force. The rescue ship brigade in Xianyu is actually just a sign of the Navy Reserve. In fact, it has always been our reserve force!"

"The soldiers were recruited by the Binjiang Military Division. They usually accept the leadership of the Binjiang Military Division. They only accept the leadership of the Navy in business matters." Political Commissar Miao thought the commander's words were reasonable. After thinking about it, he added: "Four reserve transport groups have been established in the East China Sea. , although the recruits are all sailors and sea-going ships, they are still Army Reserve Forces and are still under the leadership of the East China Sea Garrison Region."

"Where's the number?"

"The unit number also belongs to our army."

"What's the serial number of the rescue boat brigade in Xianyu?"

Political Commissar Miao was paused by the question and turned to look at the Chief of Staff of the Provincial Military Region.

The chief of staff quickly said: "Commander, political commissar, it's a bit unbelievable to say that the Binjiang Naval Reserve Rescue Ship Group is a 'black house' to this day. Although the navy chief has inspected it, and they have even participated in sea-crossing drills along the southeastern coast, the fact is There is no official designation on the Navy, so if you want to select outstanding pre-commissioned officers and outstanding pre-commissioned soldiers, you can only go to the Navy Headquarters."

"The naval headquarters will select them?" Commander Zhu was doubtful.

"They submit the list, and as far as the Navy Headquarters is concerned, it's just a matter of filling in a few certificates of merit and stamping a few seals."

"No file?"

"Definitely not. Neither the Navy Headquarters nor the East China Sea Fleet has the function of establishing a national defense reserve force. The files of the officers and soldiers of the Xianyu rescue ship brigade have always been managed by the Binjiang Military Division."

It's a "black account" that goes around and around!

This cannot continue, and management must be formalized.

More importantly, the main work is done by the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region. Why should the East China Sea Fleet pick this peach?

To this day, Commander Zhu can never forget the scene when he rushed to the highway intersection in the middle of the night to pick up the convoy of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, listened to Xianyu’s report, and then sent the flood relief convoy to another highway entrance.

Is it easy to achieve some results in the militia reserve work?

Commander Zhu felt that the Xianyu rescue ship brigade could not continue to be so dark, and mused: "Since there is a precedent in the East China Sea, and the four reserve transport groups are all affiliated with the East China Sea Guard Area, then the Binjiang reserve rescue ship brigade should also be affiliated with Our provincial military district.”

"Commander, the Navy probably won't agree."

"They may disagree, but can they give the rescue ship brigade a designation? Since it is an army, it must look like an army. How can it be so 'secret'?"

The more Commander Zhu thought about it, the more he thought that the Xianyu brigade should be recruited. As he walked, he ordered: "Old Zhong, hurry up and prepare some materials and report to the Nanjing Military Region Headquarters. When it comes to the regularization of the army, this is a very important issue. For serious issues, the military region chief will definitely agree.”

"yes!"

"Lao Ji, please report to the Political Department of the military region immediately. Our provincial military region does not have a large number of representatives, but the Nanjing Military Region does. I believe that the Nanjing Military Region can provide what the East China Sea Fleet can provide!"

"Okay, I'll call and report right now."

The deputy commander understood the ins and outs and reminded: "Commander Zhu, political commissar, the rescue ship brigade is very professional. If we incorporate the rescue ship brigade, what will happen if the superiors let Xianyu and the others participate in exercises and other tasks?"

"Management is management, and training is training. These are two different things. If there is a mission, let the Navy arrange someone to be responsible for communication."

"Management is also a problem. The rescue ship brigade is at the regimental level."

"What kind of problem is this? The regiment will be the regiment. Please ask your superiors to add a regiment-level unit, which will then be placed under the leadership of the reserve division. Considering that there is a reserve regiment in Binjiang, and there will be a rescue ship brigade in the future, it is completely possible to arrange one The deputy division commander is stationed in Binjiang."

The establishment of the reserve force is different from that of the active force. Since there is no military expenditure involved, it is easy to apply.

The deputy commander realized that Commander Zhu was determined to recruit the Xianyu brigade, and he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "If we recruit them, wouldn't it be inappropriate to call the rescue ship brigade at that time?"

"It makes sense. We can call it the Second Binjiang Reserve Regiment at that time." Commander Zhu thought for a while and emphasized: "This is not an recruitment. The cadres and soldiers of that brigade are originally from our provincial military region. This is just to strengthen the formal management of the troops."

…

The Provincial Military Region is not far from the Nanjing Military Region.

The chief of staff and director of the political department made a brief report on the phone. Worried that they could not explain clearly on the phone, they took a car to report in person.

The militia reserve should originally be under the jurisdiction of the provincial military region.

Several division chiefs from the Nanjing Military Region Headquarters and the Political Department learned that the reserve rescue boat brigade in Binjiang was actually a "black house" and quickly reported to their respective chiefs.

As Commander Zhu expected, the Nanjing Military Region Headquarters and the Political Department responded quickly, and their attitude was very clear that Xianyu's rescue ship brigade could no longer be "hacked".

Commander Wang and Political Commissar Chen, who were waiting to return to Binjiang for the New Year, were shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Director Ji, do you mean that Xianyu will change from a naval reserve lieutenant colonel to our army reserve lieutenant colonel?"

"Hurry up and do it as soon as you get back. Not only Xianyu will need to change his uniform, but all the officers and soldiers in the brigade will also need to change! Before the official designation of the unit is approved, it will be managed by your military division."

"Where's the East China Sea Fleet? Do you want to say hello?"

"The military region chief has communicated with the fleet chief that troop management is a very serious matter. We cannot allow a reserve force to turn into a guerrilla force."

"Then can Xianyu be a deputy to the National People's Congress?"

"This is not something you and I should consider. If the superiors know about it, they will definitely consider it."

It was just reported that Xianyu might become a deputy to the National People's Congress as a naval reserve officer and join the People's Liberation Army delegation to attend a meeting in the capital. As a result, the entire rescue ship brigade was incorporated.

Commander Wang was confused.

On the way back to Binjiang, Political Commissar Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's good to be reorganized, otherwise the rescue boat brigade will be like before without a real superior, and you won't know who to report to when encountering any difficulties."

"But if this happens, the Navy will definitely have objections."

“The chief has made it very clear that management belongs to management and business belongs to business.”

…

At the same time, Han Yu was receiving a call from Commander Yu of the East China Sea Base.

"Our brigade will be restructured and transferred to the Jiangnan Army Reserve Division?"

"I have also just received a notice from the Fleet Headquarters." Commander Yu was also caught off guard and said with a wry smile: "It is said to be a request from the Nanjing Military Region, which involves the regular management of the troops. The commander of the fleet can't say anything. He can only agree."

"But we do Navy Reserve work."

"The specific work will not be affected. The commander of the fleet said that the attitude of the military region is clear, management belongs to management, and business belongs to business. To say the least, it would be better if the relationship between superiors and subordinates is straightened out. Otherwise, your superiors will not know how to commend you for your achievements in the future. .”
