Riverside police

Commander Yu asked Han Yu to come to the capital, and the main reason why he agreed so readily was that he wanted to see his old comrades. A gathering of comrades is much more interesting than watching a gala or attending a commendation meeting.

The feeling of attending this meeting is completely different from before.

First of all, the accommodation. In 1998, when I attended the commendation meeting for flood fighting of the whole army, two people lived in one room. This year, everyone lived in one room, and the conditions were much better than before. Maybe because all the participants lived in single rooms, one hotel could not accommodate them. The hotel I stayed in now was full of representatives from the navy, no army, and no air force.

In addition, there have been great personnel changes in the past few years.

Most of the leaders I knew before have retired, and most of the representatives attending the meeting are new faces. If it weren't for Feng Qingshan and the "Millennium Staff", Han Yu would really be a little lonely.

"Xianyu, I remind you again, don't call me 'Millennium Staff' anymore. I am now a deputy minister." Wu Jiwu sat in front of the coffee table, eating the fruit sent by the hotel and smiled: "I just mentioned it two months ago, but this should be the end of my military career. I will retire after a few years."

Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye "Little Wu" has become "Old Wu". Han Yu asked curiously: "Which department?"

Wu Jiwu smiled and said: "Navigation Security Department."

If I remember correctly, the Navigation Security Department is a full-division-level unit under the Navy Command, mainly responsible for organizing and implementing the construction of the maritime battlefield and the navigation guarantee work in the combat service support. It is in charge of four special projects: navigation, marine surveying and mapping, hydrology and meteorology, and disaster prevention and rescue.

Han Yu reacted and couldn't help laughing: "I've been promoted, congratulations!"

"I've become a mother-in-law after a thousand years, what's there to congratulate." Wu Jiwu took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and said with emotion: "Besides, this may be the end of my professional military career. I will be retired in a few years."

"Impossible, you are the leader of the headquarters."

"What kind of leader am I? Salted fish, I'm not kidding you. Now I think about it and I really regret it. I had many opportunities to go to the grassroots to exercise, but I missed them for one reason or another. As a result, although I have a long military service, I have never been a grassroots chief officer and have no grassroots leadership experience. It is unlikely for an office officer like me to make progress."

In the public security system, if you want to be reused by your superiors, you must have been a police station chief.

In the local party committee and government, if you want to be entrusted with important tasks by your superiors, whether you have been the head of a township is also an important resume.

The same is true in the army. The "Millennium Staff" has worked in the headquarters since graduating from the military academy. He has never been a boat captain or a ship captain, nor has he been a battalion commander or a detachment commander. He has never led soldiers, so it is really difficult to make progress.

Han Yu was feeling sorry for him, Feng Qingshan whispered: "Director Han, I am now a professional technical cadre, just transferred to the Equipment Research Institute, no need to consider changing careers, can work until retirement."

The Equipment Research Institute is the highest research institution of the Navy. It was originally called the Navy Equipment Research and Demonstration Center. Later, it changed from a simple research and demonstration to a scientific research institution, established a doctoral program, and recruited master's students. Han Yu often read "Demonstration and Research" and "Foreign Naval Collection" are regularly published by the Equipment Research Institute.

Every profession has its own specialty. Han Yu knew what Lao Feng was researching at the institute without asking, and couldn't help but smile: "It's good to go the professional and technical route."

Although Lao Feng was not dissatisfied with the current situation, he still smiled: "Director Han, among so many comrades who fought the flood together, Li Shousong was promoted the fastest and did the best."

"What is Li Shousong's current position?"

"Chief of Staff of the 402nd Division, it is said that he is the youngest deputy division-level cadre in the decades since the 105th Army was transferred to the Air Force!"

"Did he come this time?"

"He came. He called me at noon and said that he had something to do during the day and would come to see you in the evening."

The 105th Army is the main force, and Li Shousong is a cadre trained by the main force. It is normal for him to make rapid progress. Han Yu was sincerely happy for Li Shousong. Just as he was wondering if Lao Ge knew about this, Wu Jiwu stood up and said, "Xianyu, it's time to go to dinner. The chief may come to visit everyone."

Lao Feng also stood up and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat. Finish early and go to the party."

The third change this time is the dinner. In the past, it was a table meal, and the chiefs would toast the model representatives who attended the commendation meeting at each table. This time it was a buffet, and the chief would only come to see everyone, not toast like before.

Han Yu was most afraid of drinking. Although it was not as lively as before, he liked this change very much.

The three of them came to the restaurant. Just as they took their plates and sat down, a colonel came over with a plate: "Hello, Director Han, hello, Deputy Minister Wu!"

Han Yu quickly stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Hello, may I ask who you are..."

"I am Wang Youliang. Deputy Minister Wu took me to Binjiang that year. Director Han, don't you remember me?"

"Oh, I remember it. It turned out to be Captain Wang. Sorry, I really didn't remember it just now."

As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, Wu Jiwu smiled and said: "Director Han, Youliang has been promoted a long time ago, and he has been promoted step by step. Now he is the deputy detachment commander."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Submarine detachment?"

Wang Youliang didn't expect to see Han Yu, and said excitedly: "Director Han, the submarine you transferred back that year is in our detachment. Some of the submarines that were transferred back later are also in our detachment. I didn't know at first, but later I learned that even the semi-submersible ships of the submarines after the transfer were designed and built with reference to the drawings and data you provided that year!"

"Really? I almost forgot."

"You almost forgot, but we will never forget. Our detachment leader and political commissar know that I know you, and they have wanted me to invite you to our detachment for inspection and guidance more than once. But I have only met you once, and I have never been embarrassed to talk to you. "

"Don't be ridiculous, I am not qualified to go to your detachment to inspect and provide guidance. Sit down, sit down and chat."

"Okay, thank you Bureau Han, thank you Deputy Minister Wu, thank you Director Feng."

The submarine detachment equipped with the "Big Shark" is definitely the most awesome of all submarine detachment leaders. I can imagine that the one in front of me has as much future as Li Shousong.

It was not easy for Han Yu to inquire about other people's military secrets, so he could only ask about unimportant matters.

Wang Youliang answered all questions and respected the Korean Bureau, the "Millennium Staff" and Lao Feng. After all, to him, the "Millennium Staff" and Lao Feng were superior cadres of the headquarters.

While they were chatting and laughing, the "Millennium Staff Officer" saw a senior colonel walking into the restaurant. He stood up with a smile and waved to invite him over.

"Director Han, this is Commander Yuan, the ace pilot of our navy! Commander Yuan, I don't need to introduce Director Han. Deputy Political Commissar Fang mentioned it to you when he visited your unit two years ago, and Deputy Minister Shen also mentioned it to you. .

Master Yuan reacted and quickly raised his hands in salute: "Hello Director Han, I have long admired your name. Director Han, I have met your brother-in-law, and I was thinking about when I could see you, but I didn't expect to see you here."

It turns out to be Dongdong’s troop leader!

Han Yu calmed down, quickly raised his hand in return, then held his hand tightly and said seriously and sincerely: "Mr. Yuan, thank you for your concern for my family Aidong. He told me when he came back to get married last year. The troop chief was very kind to him."

"There are only a few pilots in our division, and we must care."

"Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect that the chief would mention Aidong to you. I know this is the chief's concern for me and my nephew, but I really never thought about making it special. You don't have to give me face, if Aidong If you are disobedient in the army, you can criticize them as you please."

"Director Han, your nephew's performance in the army is better than you thought!" Commander Yuan patted Han Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Not only did he perform well, he was also bold, careful and clever. Many soldiers who were several years ahead of him Old pilots all admire him."

"Master Yuan, the main reason is that you taught him well. Ai Dong told me that when he was first assigned to the army, you personally led him to fly more than once and taught him how to fly step by step."

"This is my job."

"Mr. Yuan, you go and get the food first. Get the food and we'll sit down and eat and chat."

"Okay," Master Yuan let go of Han Yu's hand, turned around and said with a smile, "Deputy Minister Wu, I'll go get the food, you eat first."

"No rush, I'll wait for you to come over and eat together."

Although the "Millennium Staff" is not as promising as some of them, he has worked in the headquarters agency for so many years. He has gone to the army to inspect the work with the head of the headquarters countless times, and he knows a lot of people.

Han Yuzheng secretly lamented that it was great to have a friend like the "Millennium Staff Officer". A burst of warm applause came from the entrance of the restaurant. The four of them looked back and saw that it was the head of the headquarters who came to visit everyone, and they quickly stood up to greet them.

The commander and political commissar did not come, but the deputy commander and deputy political commissar came.

Han Yu didn't know the deputy commander, but he had known deputy political commissar Fang for a long time. However, almost all the people attending the commendation meeting this time were active-duty officers. As a reserve officer, he was too embarrassed to step forward.

Wu Jiwu didn't want to miss this opportunity. As a "conference staff", he didn't have as much worries as Han Yu. He picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, walked over and squeezed into the crowd.

Deputy political commissar Fang was speaking in front, but Han Yu only heard the voice but could not see the person.

People were applauding in front, and he was applauding behind him. He thought the leader would just say a few words and then leave. Unexpectedly, the people in front of him actually moved to both sides of the aisle and saw Deputy Political Commissar Fang walking over with a smile on his face.

"Xianyu, why didn't I see you kid? He was hiding here."

"Hello, Chief!"

The chief actually came towards him. Han Yu was startled and quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Deputy Political Commissar Fang did not return the greeting, but patted him on the arm and smiled sideways: "Deputy Commander Tan, during the Dongshan Island exercise, I flew to sea to learn about the gathering of fishing boats. This guy was the one who moved the anti-aircraft guns onto the transport ship, thinking that I The transport plane I was on was an enemy plane and it almost shot me down!"

"Xianyu, we have met before." Deputy Commander Tan pointed at Han Yu and smiled: "The hero of the 1998 flood fight once served as the garrison liaison officer of the Ministry of Transportation and went on a mission with our naval formation. Comrade Xianyu, I remembered it correctly. Bar."

"Thank you for your concern, Chief. He has a really good memory."

Although Han Yu said this on his lips, he was thinking in his heart that he had seen it before, but it was just a meeting. The leader must not remember that he, a "non-staff member", should be the "Millennium Staff" who just squeezed in to report.

As soon as Deputy Commander Tan finished speaking, Deputy Political Commissar Fang smiled and asked, "Xianyu, it's a rare BJ. Have you ever gone to see Minister Feng?"

"Reporting to the chief, I just arrived today, so I haven't taken care of it for the time being."

"Today's party, we have also invited more than a dozen seniors and comrades from our navy. Minister Feng is among them. You will see them later."

"Great, thank you, chief."

"What's there to thank you for? Later you will not only be able to see Minister Feng, but also Vice Minister Shen and Deputy Chief of Staff Zheng who were on the trip together that year. Vice Minister Shen really cares about you. He even talked to you a few days ago. I said you're back in the team, otherwise I wouldn't have known you would come to the commendation meeting."

Team leader Shen has been promoted and is now the deputy director of the Naval Equipment Department.

Chief of Staff Zheng of the South China Sea Fleet, who led the team with Team Leader Shen, is now the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy. Han Yu suddenly discovered that although there were major personnel changes at the headquarters, he still knew quite a few of the leaders.

Just as he was filled with emotion, the military representatives in the restaurant who also came to attend the commendation meeting were both surprised and envious. They couldn't believe that the two leaders actually knew a reserve officer, and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
