After breakfast, the commander-in-chief went to the Military Commission to preside over the work and prepare for the grand conferment tomorrow.
Li Qiufan, who had nothing to do, found the phone number and called the Kunming Military Region.
As for the reason for making this call, it was because of Li Xiping's military rank.
By now Li Qiufan had figured out what was going on. It could be said that Li Xiping's star was used to compensate others.
Because normally Li Qiufan was rated four stars and would definitely be transferred out of Yunnan after the major conferment, which would leave the position of commander of the Kunming Military Region vacant.
After Li Qiufan left, there were no people left in the Kunming Military Region who were qualified enough to take over, so others saw the opportunity.
But after some operations, the person who didn't expect it was directly rejected, and Li Qiufan was left in Yunnan, which caused many people to have opinions.
In the end, in order to balance all parties, a two-star quota was obtained from the Kunming Military Region as compensation, which also caused Li Xiping to suffer an unreasonable disaster.
Seeing that the title conferment was going to be held tomorrow, Li Qiufan was afraid that Li Xiping would be emotional, so he thought of making a phone call to comfort him first.
After Li Qiufan's call was placed at the Kunming Military Region, it was quickly transferred to Zhao Gang.
"Qiu Fan? I said you've only been away for a few days and you already miss home. Can you be more mature?"
After receiving Li Qiufan's call, Zhao Gang immediately started teasing him.
"I said, Old Zhao, are you going to die? As soon as I walked away with my front foot, your back foot didn't touch the ground?"
After hearing what Zhao Gang said on the other side of the phone, Li Qiufan saw a black line on his forehead. This sour scholar was definitely in a state of confusion.
"Hahaha, it's nice to have no one to worry about. I think you shouldn't be in a hurry to come back. Just stay in the capital for a few more days!"
Regarding Li Qiufan who was in the capital, Zhao Gang was honest at all and joked again.
"Haha, you sour scholar, do you want to get high? Why haven't you noticed your ambition before?"
Li Qiufan also laughed angrily at Zhao Gang. If he could crawl through the phone line, he would have to give Zhao Gang two big pockets.
"Okay, no more joking, why are you calling?"
Zhao just finished a few words and then stopped, because Li Qiufan was not very minded, and it would be hard for Zhao to continue waiting for him to come back.
"Xiping has been rated one star. This matter is a bit complicated. Please give him a message for me first. We will talk about everything after I get back!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan straight to the point told the story about Li Xiping.
"One star? It shouldn't be! What's going on?"
After hearing that Li Xiping was rated one star, Zhao Gang on the other side of the phone was immediately stunned, and then said with a frown.
"This matter is a bit complicated. I can't explain it in one or two sentences. Let me explain it when I get back!"
Li Qiufan sighed secretly in his heart. If it weren't for him, Li Xiping wouldn't have suffered this injustice.
"Okay, I'll contact him later!"
"By the way, do you want him to come to the military area?"
Hearing that Li Qiufan didn't want to explain on the phone, Zhao Gang had no choice but to agree and send a message to Li Xiping first.
Then Zhao Gang suddenly remembered something, and then asked Li Qiufan.
"No need! I, Li Qiufan, know my own soldiers. You can just give him a message!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan immediately understood what he meant. Zhao Gang was afraid that Li Xiping would make a mistake after knowing it.
But Li Qiufan knew his soldiers very well, which is why Li Qiufan asked Zhao Gang to give him a message before being awarded the title.
Because as long as Li Qiufan's words reach Li Xiping, even if Li Xiping has been greatly wronged, he will wait for Li Qiufan to go back before talking.
"Okay, then I get it!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan was so confident, Zhao Gang didn't say anything more.
"By the way, did you go to the capital to meet the commander-in-chief this time? What's your military rank?"
As he spoke, Zhao Gang remembered Li Qiufan's military rank again, and he was very curious about this matter.
"Four stars!"
Li Qiufan did not hide it, because the awarding ceremony would be held tomorrow, and the whole army would know about it then.
"real?!"
Hearing Li Qiufan say four stars, Zhao Gang's voice trembled a little, and he immediately confirmed it.
"The general's uniform was sent to me, so I can't even count to four, right?"
Li Qiufan could probably imagine what Zhao Gang looked like at this time, his eyes must have almost popped out of his head.
"Damn it, you little bitch has really reached the sky in one step!"
And Zhao Gang's state at this time was indeed what Li Qiufan thought. His eyes were wide open and he even used swear words when he spoke.
"Haha, Lao Zhao, do you want to know your military rank?"
Li Qiufan smiled, and then asked Zhao Gang if he wanted to know his military rank.
"I don't need you to tell me. It's impossible to get one star, and you can't get three stars."
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, Zhao Gang responded angrily to him.
Zhao Gang had a rough idea of his military rank. As the political commissar of a large military region, it was impossible for him to be rated with one star, but he was not qualified enough for three stars, so he could only be rated with two stars.
"Haha, you sour scholar is quite self-aware!"
"Besides you, Heizi, Dudu, Erhu, Li Yunlong, and Lao Ma are also two-stars. Everyone else is one-star and a school officer."
Li Qiufan smiled after hearing Zhao Gang's words, and then told the military ranks of the others.
"Haha, Lao Li actually has two stars. I'm afraid he will go to heaven when that old boy comes back!"
After listening to Li Qiufan's story, Zhao Gang was a little surprised that Li Yunlong also had two stars, but then he thought about his qualifications and realized that this old boy was the leader of the regiment during the Long March.
Others, Zhao Gang, were not surprised. Heizi and Sui were the deputy commander and chief of general staff of the Kunming Military Region respectively, so two stars was normal.
Not to mention Erhu, the commander of the First Army, who was purely accomplished through his military exploits.
Finally, there is the old horse. Needless to say, the importance of the armored division in the Peninsular War. Its role is unmatched by several armies.
And if it weren't for the characteristics of the armored division, Lao Ma would have been qualified to be promoted to corps commander.
Although Lao Ma is only a division commander in his current position, the commanders of several other armies do not dare to argue with him.
After all, all the heavy artillery, tanks and air defense units in the entire military region are in his hands, and Lao Ma is a hot commodity in a war.
"I'm afraid Lao Li doesn't want to go back and show off. He probably has to stay in the military academy for a while first!"
Hearing Zhao Gang talking about Li Yunlong, Li Qiufan couldn't help but have a picture emerge in his mind, that is, Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at the two stars on Li Yunlong's shoulders with bitter expressions on their faces.
