adaptation.
This word is a new and unfamiliar word to recruits like Li Zheng.
Although he knew that the People's Liberation Army had undergone several reorganizations since 1949, and with each reorganization some unit numbers would disappear into the long river of history and become the past.
But it was just the right time for me, and that feeling was really strange.
For veterans, adaptation has more practical significance.
There used to be more than 10,000 people in a division, but now it has been changed to a brigade. There used to be a brigade, with only a few thousand people. This means that either a division is divided into several brigades and regrouped. In the case of fewer people and more people, the excess personnel will be trapped. Will be abolished.
The recruits have just arrived and are fresh blood. Of course they will not be laid off. Most of them will be recruited from veterans.
New organization, new attributes. It used to be motorized. If it is changed to mechanized or synthetic, veterans who were familiar with the profession will suddenly become novices from veterans, which is equivalent to starting from scratch.
Therefore, under the abolition, more second-year soldiers and above will be axed, including squad leaders like Wu Yi who Xie Dong mentioned to Xu Huan.
Wu Yi has just finished his first term and is waiting to sign for the second term. There is no problem with his training quality.
Xie Dong had previously sent him to the teaching brigade to participate in the training of non-commissioned officers, and it was obvious that he wanted to keep him for renewal. However, now that the conversation was over and the training was gone, the order to adapt was issued.
What was once a sure thing now seems full of uncertainty and may even become a bubble.
Wu Yi went to see Xie Dong and hesitated after entering the door. He didn't say anything for a long time.
Looking at his expression, Xie Dong knew that he was here for this matter, but as a soldier, he is very sensitive when it comes to such matters. Go and try to stay. I am afraid that he is caring about personal gains and losses. If you don't go, then But matters related to his military future are of great importance.
Finally, Xie Dong took the initiative to speak.
"You're here for the adaptation, right?"
Wu Yi said sheepishly: "Yes. Company commander, do you think I can stay?"
Xie Dong said: "No one knows what the future will be like now, including me. Even I am not sure whether I will be transferred to other jobs in this adaptation. Ask me, who should I ask?"
He was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally a little angry.
Wu Yigeng didn't dare to speak anymore, and stood there with a red face, either leaving or not leaving.
Perhaps because he felt that his tone was a bit excessive, looking at Wu Yi again, Xie Dong felt a layer of guilt in his heart.
It's not Wu Yi's fault.
He is just a monitor.
Although the adaptation was sudden, it was not my responsibility.
But things are clear. They went to training, graduated, and talked about it. They said they wanted to keep people, but now they suddenly said they were not sure, and left people hanging in the air. It couldn't be justified.
So he calmed down and said: "Wu Yi, the company commander was a little angry just now. In fact, I am also upset. Our company has many veterans who have been in their second year or above. The future of this adaptation is uncertain. I really can't make any promises to you." , the company did want to keep you before, but now it wants to reorganize it. As for what unit it will be changed to, I don’t know, so I can’t give you an answer.”
Wu Yi said sensibly: "Company Commander, I know you are upset. I shouldn't have rashly come to ask you, but I really want to know the result, so I came to you."
Xie Dong looked at his soldier.
We have been together for almost five years.
I was still a platoon commander at the time, and now I am a company commander.
Comrades-in-arms are as close as brothers. This is really not nonsense. Even if you have been with a stranger for five years, you still have feelings, let alone the soldiers you brought out with your own hands?
Wu Yi's situation is worthy of sympathy.
This is equivalent to putting your hope in someone else's hands, saying it's yours, and then suddenly taking it away without warning, saying it's no longer yours.
It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
"Don't have too much mental burden and lead the troops well." He continued to comfort Wu Yi: "I will fight for the adaptation. They must listen to the company's opinion. If the company says they want to stay, I don't believe them. Do not stay."
A trace of joy appeared on Wu Yi's face. He believed in his company commander. With the company commander's promise, his hope increased a lot.
"Company Commander, I will definitely take care of these new soldiers! Please don't worry!" After Wu Yi finished speaking, he saluted happily and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Xie Dong stopped him and explained: "You have a few good seedlings in your class. Take good care of them and work hard, especially that Li Zheng, and that Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian." It’s easy to be proud, and if you don’t polish it, it won’t make it, so you have to work harder.”
"Yes!" Wu Yi replied simply: "I will try my best, company commander, forget about you, our platoon commander values this matter more than you do, and he pays more attention to training than me."
When Xie Dong heard Hou Jun's name, he snorted and said, "He makes me laugh even if he doesn't cause trouble for me..."
As he spoke, he remembered what he did that day about the gun stability training, which almost caused trouble.
Fortunately, Deputy Teacher Zhang did not criticize, but praised him.
But it was such a hot weather that the recruits lay there motionless for four hours. Was this done by humans?
Hou Jun really dared to treat the recruit company as a top training team?
"When you go back, ask Hou Jun to come up and tell him that I'm looking for him!"
When the time came, he didn't forget to ask Wu Yi to call Hou Jun.
As soon as Wu left, Hou Jun came.
He came as soon as he came, and he was still the same, as if the two people who fainted during the gun training had nothing to do with him, and he had no fault at all.
Still the same as before, he saluted after coming in, sat down directly opposite, and stretched out his hand without waiting for himself to speak.
"cigarette."
Xie Dong was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to cry, get angry, or laugh.
With this expression and his virtue, those who didn't know it would have thought that Hou Jun was his company commander.
"I said, Hou Jun, are you still shameless?! You almost got me into trouble the day before yesterday, and you still dare to ask me for a cigarette? Looking at you, it's not that you made a mistake, but I made a mistake and I want to respect you. Smoked?"
Having said that, he put his hand into his pocket, took out the cigarette and threw it in front of Hou Jun.
Hou Jun took it over casually, took out a cigarette, and said in his mouth: "You and I are both comrades in the same year. I will never go out of my way in front of others. You are my company commander and my superior. I will carry out your orders unconditionally." , even if you put your mouth in front of me and spit on my face, I wouldn’t dare to reply to you even a word. But when we were alone, I still called you company commander, but you are my comrade in the same year. It depends on the situation and the environment, and everyone has his or her own opinion.”
At this point, he put the cigarette into his mouth and stretched out his hand again.
"fire."
Xie Dong glared at him and threw the lighter: "Hou Jun, Hou Jun, you are getting better and better as a soldier. What do you mean, you talk to people when you see them, but you are talking nonsense?"
Hou Jun picked up the lighter and lit a cigarette. Without replying to Xie Dong, he stacked the cigarette case with the lighter, placed it in front of himself, took a leisurely puff and blew out a smoke ring.
"Tell me, my company commander, what do you want from me? If I'm not mistaken, you want to adapt that thing, right?"
