Arriving at the company headquarters office, the company commander pulled out a chair and sat down, asking Li Xiang to stand beside him.
"Li Xiang, let me ask you, the discipline of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is based on..."
Before the company commander finished speaking, Li Xiang rushed to answer.
"The discipline of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is based on political consciousness and is the military's combat effectiveness..."
This question was originally a fill-in-the-blank question. The company commander originally wanted to ask Li Xiang some key words in the middle of the question. But unexpectedly, Li Xiang actually memorized the entire content word for word.
Regarding Li Xiang's answer, the company commander was suddenly stunned. Among the officers and soldiers in the regiment, Li Xiang was still the first person to memorize the contents of the disciplinary regulations word for word.
"Let me ask you another question. To consolidate and maintain discipline, we must..."
The company commander still didn't believe that Li Xiang had memorized all the contents of the "Discipline Order".
"To maintain and consolidate discipline, we must implement Mao Zedong's military thought and Deng Xiaoping's thought on army construction in the new era..."
Li Xiang was still the same as last time. Before the company commander had finished speaking, Li Xiang answered all the questions that the company commander should and should not ask.
"Company Commander, is there anything else you need to ask?"
Li Xiang knew that the company commander was both embarrassed and embarrassed at this time. The embarrassment is because Li Xiang did not cheat, and the full score on the test paper is Li Xiang's true score. The embarrassment is because the company commander does not know what to do with Li Xiang next.
"Well……."
The company commander wanted to say something to save some face for himself, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he had to change his words and said: "Li Xiang, you... go back, you did well in the exam this time."
"Company Commander, will my test results be invalidated?" Li Xiang asked cautiously, because he knew that the company commander had always been skeptical about his results.
"No, I have already tested it just now. When the entire company meets later, I will praise you in front of everyone."
Hearing this, Li Xiang was so happy that he immediately ran out of the company headquarters office jumping up and down.
Back in the dormitory, the recruits from the first class immediately gathered around Li Xiang and began to ask Li Xiang questions. Xiaopang and Li Erniu were the most active in asking questions.
"Brother Xiang, do your grades still count?"
"Brother Xiang, did you cheat? Otherwise, how could you get a score of 100 points?"
"Brother Xiang, how does the company commander decide to punish you?"
…
Li Xiang did not answer them one by one, but sneered and replied with four words: "Just wait for the results." Faced with such an answer, the recruits in the first class had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Later, Li Xiang came to his bed, and Gao Jie was still lying on the bed without energy, not knowing how his father was. Li Xiang wanted to show concern, but he was afraid that what he said was wrong and would make Gao Jie even more troubled, so he didn't ask much about Gao Jie's current situation.
…
The next day, all the test papers were marked and the corresponding test results were released. Before the training started, the company commander held a company-wide meeting and began to read out the test results.
"First place, Li Xiang."
"Second place, Wang Chao."
"Third place, Dong Zhuo."
"Now, the top three comrades in the exam will be invited to come to the stage to receive their awards."
After the company commander read out the results, the recruits in the first class immediately cast envious eyes on Li Xiang and gave him a thumbs up to express their congratulations.
"Li Xiang, you are so awesome."
"Li Xiang, how did you do it?"
"Li Xiang, you really got a hundred points in the exam."
…
Afterwards, Li Xiang, surrounded by a group of new recruits, gloriously walked to the podium, came to the company commander's side, and saluted the company commander.
"Comrade Li Xiang, although you got full marks in the exam and are number one in the company, you can't be proud. You have to continue to work hard and strive to be number one in all grades. Do you understand?" The company commander said for Li Xiang awarded the prizes and encouraged Li Xiang.
When Li Xiang heard what the company commander said, he immediately stood up straight and replied seriously: "Yes, company commander! I will definitely continue to work hard and strive to achieve good results in all trainings!"
Li Xiang received the award from the company commander, then walked off the podium and stood among the team. I thought that the company commander would award such a generous prize, but when I received the prize, I saw that it was just a notebook. Looking again, the prizes for the second and third places are also notebooks, but their notebooks are a little thinner than their own notebooks. I didn’t expect the company commander to be so stingy. He said it nicely and the prize was generous.
"Let me announce those who failed this exam, Gao Jie, Wang Hao..." After rewarding the top few in the exam, the company commander began to deal with those who failed.
"I said, our exam has rewards and punishments. Therefore, all those who fail the exam must accept punishment. Starting from tomorrow, all those who fail the exam must use During the lunch break, bring your own stools and gather on the playground. I will personally be responsible for leading everyone to learn discipline and rules until everyone passes the exam."
When the squad leader heard that Gao Jie's name was among those who failed, he immediately went to the stage to plead with the company commander.
"Company Commander, Comrade Gao Jie of our class has had some problems at home recently. I don't think we should punish him." The squad leader whispered in the company commander's ear.
After understanding what the squad leader said, the company commander immediately frowned.
"Squad leader, I understand what you mean. You can go down first." The company commander said coldly.
After the first squad leader stepped down, the company commander continued: "Just now, the first squad leader came to me and told me that Comrade Gao Jie of his class had some problems at home recently, and he hoped that I could be lenient and stop punishing Comrade Gao Jie. I solemnly tell you now that it won’t work for me, and it won’t work for anyone to plead for mercy.”
"People may say that my company commander is too ruthless. What I want to say is, if we were on the battlefield now, would the enemy not come to attack you because you have something to do at home? The enemy would not come because you were in a bad mood. Did they attack you secretly? Because you are sick, the enemy will say, let’s have a truce for a while and wait until you recover before fighting. Is that possible?”
After a series of rhetorical questions, the squad leader finally understood why the company commander was so ruthless. He wanted to turn these recruits into warriors capable of going to the battlefield.
However, at this time, Gao Jie failed to understand the company commander's intentions. He clenched his fists angrily and really wanted to go on stage and beat the company commander severely.
After the company-wide meeting, Gao Jie lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He thought of the company commander's cold eyes and stern words, and his heart was filled with anger and grievance. He didn't understand why he was punished like this even though he had tried his best. Can't things at home give him a chance to breathe?
…
The next morning, Gao Jie deliberately got up slowly, folded the quilt casually, and went out to train with everyone.
But on this day, the company commander came for a surprise inspection. Taking advantage of the time when the recruits were out training, he wanted to see if the housekeeping of the first class was maintained well except on Mondays.
The company commander quietly came to the dormitory of the first class. What he didn't expect was that he wouldn't know it if he didn't check. This inspection actually shocked him. The quilt on Gao Jie's bed was as messed up as dog shit.
The company commander was so angry that he took down the mobile red flag of the first squad on the spot and took it back to the company headquarters. At the same time, he also called the first squad leader to the office.
"First squad leader, how on earth do you lead the troops? Did the company headquarters ask you to organize the housekeeping just to cope with the inspection?"
The first squad leader looked up at the moving red flag on his desk and immediately guessed the reason. It must be that some soldier in his squad had an internal affairs problem.
"Go back and see how your classmate's quilt is folded. He even hangs the mobile red flag on it every day. Is this an example for the whole company?" The company commander scolded and pointed at the quilt on his desk. Mobile red flags.
"I took down the mobile red flag for you. Your class is not qualified to hang this mobile red flag again."
The squad leader stood tremblingly in front of the company commander, seriously accepting the company commander's insults and not daring to refute at all. When the company commander said he was tired, the first squad leader finally breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to the first squad dormitory.
