"Old monitor, I'm very sad when you say that! It means you don't understand me at all."
The political commissar said into the phone.
"What, I still wronged you? You should tell me."
said the other end of the phone.
"Old squad leader, you have led me for so many years. When did I ever speak to you about personal matters?"
"Old squad leader, do you remember that year when we competed for group leader? If I can't compete, I will change my job."
"I know that if you just say a word, I will definitely become the leader, but I know your principles and cannot make it difficult for you. Moreover, becoming the leader based on connections is neither convincing nor my style."
"In the end, I just relied on my own strength to be elected leader with a one-point advantage."
"Old monitor, you said you just said that to me. Should I be sad?"
The political commissar said in an aggrieved tone.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the scene from when he was a soldier reappeared in front of his eyes.
At that time, they were high-spirited, and what they worried about most every day was whether someone would surpass their training results, not whether someone would take their position.
Their positions are obtained based on their strength.
On the other side of the phone, the minister looked down at his big belly. Over the years, he had also learned how to be humane.
But just now, why was he so direct with the political commissar?
Perhaps this is the instinct between comrades.
The moment he answered the call from the political commissar, he had instantly given up on the sophistication he had hated over the years and returned to the purest feelings he had with his comrades.
With each other, if they have anything to say, they will talk about winning and losing on the training field, and they will still be as close as brothers after the quarrel.
Unlike now, you have to be careful what you say, because you might offend someone with just one word. You are surrounded by smiling faces, but you don’t know whether there is honey or a knife behind the smiling faces.
"Old monitor?"
Seeing that the minister didn't respond for a long time, the political commissar called out in a tentative voice.
"Yes, I am. Alas, as I get older, it is always easy to think about the past."
The minister said with emotion, his tone full of nostalgia for the past.
"Old squad leader, when will you have time to visit the army again? Today's weapons and equipment are much more advanced than before."
The political commissar immediately sensed the minister's thoughts and opened his mouth to invite.
"Haha, you guy, look for an opportunity. By the way, let's get down to business, what are you looking for with me today?"
The minister did not directly agree to the political commissar's invitation.
There is a saying that people who are close to home are even more timid. People who have left the army rarely come back to visit the army.
The human face has gone nowhere, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.
Although the troops are still there, the comrades are gone.
The soldiers in the iron-clad camp have the comradeship of the new recruits, and they have their own comradeship.
The same comradeship can only be reflected in different people.
For example, the minister and the political commissar have a comradeship, and the political commissar and Zhou Anyu have a comradeship, but the minister and Zhou Anyu have no common experience.
The minister and Zhou Anyu were both soldiers, but they lacked some empathy.
Therefore, the minister did not agree to the political commissar's invitation.
Even if he returns to the army, he will never feel the same again.
"Old squad leader, I really want to recommend a talent to you. If he hadn't given up on leaving and I really couldn't keep him, I would never have let him leave the army."
The political commissar said extremely solemnly.
"Oh? For you to think so highly of me, it seems that this person is indeed not simple. Let's talk about it."
The minister spoke.
Although the minister does not know the details of the political commissar's unit due to confidentiality, he still knows the general situation. For example, they are a unit that performs special tasks.
Anyone who can be selected into such a unit is one of a million, and if the political commissar values him so much, that's not bad.
He still understands the vision of the political commissar. He is very arrogant and cannot be looked down upon by most people.
If the minister hadn't been a bit capable back then, I'm afraid the political commissar wouldn't have taken him seriously as a leader.
"Old squad leader, this boy has the same demeanor as you did back then."
The political commissar did not forget to compliment the minister on the other side of the phone, and then continued:
"He entered the military academy when he was 16 years old and came to me when he was 18 years old. He has obtained first-class, second-class, and third-class merit. He has a double bachelor's degree and just received a master's degree this year. He has profound writing skills, excellent military qualities, and is handsome and handsome. , it’s really rare.”
The political commissar first briefly explained Zhou Anyu's situation, and then introduced Zhou Anyu's personal deeds to the minister in detail.
Except for things that cannot be said related to confidentiality, Zhou Anyu has been exposed by the minister.
"This kid is interesting. Okay, if you have time, ask him to come to me once. I will meet with him to see if he is really as good as you said. If he is really so good, then I will take a back door. He stayed."
The minister said happily that everyone likes talents, especially such outstanding talents.
By saying this, he had actually decided on Zhou Anyu, and was even prepared to stay with him. Otherwise, he would not have met Zhou Anyu in person at all.
"Haha, old monitor, I will ask him to find you as soon as possible, but I still have some bad news to tell you."
The political commissar smiled and then said.
"Bad news? What?"
the minister asked curiously.
"Old monitor, do you want to keep him by your side?"
The political commissar did not answer, but continued to ask.
"Stay with me? Tell you, don't push yourself too far. Not everyone can stay with me. Tell me any bad news right away."
The minister still has to save some face for himself.
Just now you said you wouldn't go through the back door, and now you want to keep someone by your side. Are you so fickle?
Even if you think about it, you can't say it out loud, and let the soldiers you lead make fun of it.
If you want to stay, you have to ask the political commissar to ask for it, and then reluctantly agree to it.
This is what a minister should look like.
"That's good, that's good. If the old squad leader doesn't want to keep him, then it's not bad news. In fact, Xiao Zhou doesn't want to go to the Organization Department. He wants to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
The political commissar patted his chest and said as if he was relieved.
Of course the political commissar knew what the old squad leader was thinking, but Zhou Anyu was resolute and there was nothing he could do. This also caught the old squad leader off guard.
"What? Tell me again, where does he want to go?"
The minister was obviously anxious and his tone became urgent.
"Old monitor, you heard me right, he just wants to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
The political commissar had no choice but to say it again.
"Xiao Zhou is not sensible, and you are not sensible either? Why don't you go to the Discipline Inspection Commission? Why don't you come to my organization department?"
The minister didn't care about his face and directly asked to retain the person.
At this time, it was impossible not to look down.
"Old squad leader, there is nothing I can do. Xiao Zhou strongly demands to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission."
The political commissar said helplessly.
"I'm telling you, if you don't come to my organization department, you can't even think about leaving through my back door. This matter won't be done!"
The minister said angrily.
