The most beautiful life is the army

Link felt that he heard a lot of malice from the squadron leader's words.But as a subordinate, he must respect his superiors.As a soldier, he must respect the cadres.So on his face, he could only put on the expression that appeared on Li Wanting's face just now: "Won't the deputy chief of staff be angry?"

Fan Wenhui shook his head: "I don't know if the deputy chief of staff is not angry, but I am very angry. I listen to you, where did you put me?" There was already a hint of trouble in the words.

Link couldn't answer this question, so he could only turn his head silently, pretending to care about the deputy chief of staff communicating with his soldiers.

The deputy chief of staff understood the apprehension of the recruits: when they first came to the army, what they experienced was the strict management of the recruit company.The first thing they learned, like Link, is that subordinates should respect their superiors.But what kind of respect is considered, no one can guide them in detail, they can only let them explore slowly.

Some recruits understood quickly and found that their superiors did not need soldiers to treat them cowardly, but to recognize and respect them from the heart.And some recruits, most recruits, still fear more than respect.

For example, in the fourth class, there is such a situation.The initial chat and jokes were simply question and answer questions. The deputy chief of staff asked questions about the situation of the recruits’ families, why they came to serve in the army, what plans did they have for their two-year conscript career, and so on.

And the answers given by the recruits are also quite satisfactory: ask about the situation at home, answer truthfully, and don’t say much if you don’t ask.When I asked why I came to be a soldier, it was mostly based on the fact that in the squadron speech contest that day, the participants were closer to their own opinions, and they were not good but they would not be offensive.

It wasn't until they were asked about their career plans as conscripts that the recruits revealed their own ideas and became active.

"My dad said, let me work hard in the army and try to join the party when I am a conscript." This is Lei Hongxing's answer.

Someone immediately refuted him: "I heard that joining the party is proportional, and the proportion of conscripts is the least. Deputy Chief of Staff, is that true?" Bai Xingchuan said that Lei Hongxing was a bit ambitious.

The deputy staff officer nodded: "It's a good thing to want to join the party. This is the performance of demanding progress." He first affirmed Lei Hongxing's thoughts: "However, party members must take the lead in everything. It's not just about doing it yourself. It’s fine, you have to convince everyone to follow your example. Young man, your idea is not easy.”

Seeing that Lei Hongxing was a little hit, the deputy chief of staff comforted him: "If you have a goal and work hard towards it, you will definitely gain something. At least you will be strict with yourself and try to do your best, right? Even if it is In the end, you didn't achieve your goal, but you have worked hard, so you have no regrets, right?"

Lei Hongxing couldn't help but nodded, and gave Bai Xingchuan a provocative look, as if to say, I still have a goal, but you don't even have one.

To say that Lei Hongxing and Bai Xingchuan should be described as enemies.They are also soldiers from the same county, so they are naturally closer than other recruits.But these two people bicker all the time, and neither of them obeys the other; when something happens, the two of them will always appear at the same time, and neither of them can do without the other.

No, when Bai Xingchuan saw that Lei Hongxing was provoking him, he didn't care if the deputy chief of staff was asking someone else, so he said to himself: "I actually want to serve in the army for a long time. After two years of conscripts, I can transfer to non-commissioned officers." gone."

The deputy chief of staff was very interested: "That's a good idea. Tell me, why do you want to transfer to a non-commissioned officer?"

When the deputy chief of staff questioned him, Bai Xingchuan felt embarrassed: "You also know that our place is an old district. Although our family is from a county town, our parents are ordinary workers. I didn't go to university. .In our place, they didn’t go to university, so they could only work around. But the salary in the county is too low, and it’s hard to find a job with more than [-] yuan. I heard that the salary of non-commissioned officers is very high now, so I thought..."

Maybe he felt that his motives were not as lofty as Lei Hongxing's, so Bai Xingchuan's voice became lower and lower, until finally he was too embarrassed to continue.

The deputy chief of staff made him amused: "What's the embarrassment to say. Although our soldiers are dedicated, we also have to eat. Besides, there are parents in the family, so we should be filial, right? This is our army, You are also soldiers, but you also distinguish between conscripts and non-commissioned officers. Two-year conscripts, you are serving your country and fulfilling your obligations. But you have been transferred to non-commissioned officers, and you are older, and it is time to consider starting a family. , so the non-commissioned officer has a salary."

Seeing that the deputy chief of staff was not angry, and agreed with Bai Xingchuan's statement, everyone nodded in agreement.Zhang Ziyang took the opportunity to ask his own question: "Deputy Chief of Staff, when did you join the army? Did you also start as a recruit? How much was the allowance for conscripts at that time?"

Hearing Zhang Ziyang's question, the deputy chief of staff had a look of reminiscence on his face: "Yes, I am just like you, a new recruit. And we were conscripts for three years at that time. Then I was in the third year. At that time, I was admitted to the military academy."

"As for our allowance back then, it's nothing compared to yours now." He looked around at everyone and asked, "How much is your monthly allowance now?"

Everyone said in unison: "Five hundred a month."

The deputy chief of staff nodded again: "Five hundred. Do you know how much a month's allowance was when I first became a recruit?" Without waiting for the recruits to answer, he stretched out his hand and compared: "15 yuan .The monthly allowance is only 15 yuan. The female soldiers are three yuan more than our male soldiers. When we first started, everyone was very unconvinced."

The recruits looked at each other in blank dismay. They knew that the allowance in the past few years must not be compared with the present, but they didn't know that it was so little.The deputy chief of staff saw their confusion and said to them:

"Less? It's less than one-thirtieth of what you are now. So guys, think about it. Although there is a factor of rising prices, you have to say that the conditions of our army are improving day by day. The treatment is getting better every day, right?"

Everyone nodded again.The next topic is not the deputy chief of staff asking the recruits to answer, but the deputy chief of staff "answering the reporter's question": recruits have thought about retiring from the army after serving as the deputy chief of staff, and asked whether it is difficult to enter the military academy It was difficult, and from when the deputy chief of staff joined the party, I asked him how many times a year he could go home, and the longest one was how long he hadn’t seen his parents.

Fan Wenhui looked at the recruit who was excitedly asking the deputy chief of staff questions, then looked at Link who was equally interested, and said to him: "These boys are much more courageous than you were at that time, when you met the deputy chief of staff It looks like seeing a cat."

Link said with a sullen expression: "The times are different, and so are the people. At that time, our deputy chief of staff was only the captain of the recruit brigade, and he had a tiger face all day long. Who would dare to ask him. Now you see Look, how kindly you smile."

The squadron leader made him choke so hard that he couldn't speak for a while, and then he said after a while: "All right, all right, the people in your class have almost turned over the old background of the deputy chief of staff, and it is time for the deputy chief of staff Go back and rest."

Link looked at his watch, no, it was almost nine o'clock, and it was almost time to wash up.Facing the squadron leader's oppressive gaze, he had no choice but to step forward, found a gap to interject, and said, "Okay, you guys, what the deputy chief of staff can say and can't say, I let you almost ask , shouldn’t it be time for the deputy chief of staff to rest too? You guys should wash me up too.”

The deputy chief of staff looked at his watch and felt that the time passed really quickly: "Really, it's almost nine o'clock. Let's stop here today. Boys, you all know today. In this army, As long as you are willing to work hard and practice hard, you can accomplish a lot. The closest example to you is your squad leader."

Everyone laughed, and reluctantly sent the deputy chief of staff to the door.The deputy chief of staff waved at everyone, and then went downstairs with the squadron leader back to the squadron headquarters.

"The current recruits are really active in their thinking." The deputy chief of staff sighed to Fan Wenhui.Fan Wenhui also felt the same: "No, most of them graduated from high school, and one of them joined the army after graduating from university. Now that the information is advanced, and they know more, they feel less afraid, and dare to ask anything. Why? Such a deputy chief of staff, let people ask if you are sweating?"

Hearing Fan Wenhui's joke, the deputy chief of staff was amused: "I don't think your recruits have less sense of fear, it's because you don't have any sense of fear anymore."

Fan Wenhui also smiled and said: "It's impossible to say that there is no such thing at all, but if you are still like a recruit, you have trained me for nothing all these years."

The deputy chief of staff felt a little emotional after hearing this: "No, I didn't even notice that I have been in the army for almost 25 years. When I saw these recruits, it was like when I just joined the army. It's a pity, the troops They are training together now, but they don’t know how many people will stay in the army five or ten years from now.”

"Five years later, 50.00%? Ten years later, 30.00% would be good." Fan Wenhui roughly calculated the ratio of non-commissioned officer transfers and non-commissioned officer promotions, and came to his own conclusion.

The deputy chief of staff sighed again: "Yes, when the big waves wash away the sand, only the hidden in the sand can be cashed out. Those who can survive at the end are good comrades who have passed the test of time. Only the best comrades can be retained in this army until the end. "

Fan Wenhui grinned happily: "Deputy Chief of Staff, what I heard from this is that you seem to be praising me. But if you think about it further, your military age is much older than mine. How can you boast?" suspected."
