"... The commonly known art soldiers are soldiers who come out as soldiers. It's okay to demobilize them. If you reach the service life, you will retire. If you want to be in the army, you will be fine. If you want to be in the army, you will be a military academy or promoted. You will be an officer. Another way is that I will apply for special recruitment as a literary and artistic seedling, which is also an officer..."

Political Commissar Zhang was heartbroken. Judging from his gentle and gentle appearance, he spoke and did things very decisively. He first planned out the prospects of the literary and artistic exhibition. Several plans were very powerful! The involvement of demobilization was also explained clearly.

"At that time, even if you want to demobilize and go home, the cadres will be calculated based on military ranks. The regiment level is the chief department, the brigade level is the deputy department, and the division level is the chief department. According to your artistic level, the lowest level is the chief department level..."

Bao Hui was about to speak.

"You think carefully!" Political Commissar Zhang waved his hand and stopped him, "Look at the level of the directly affiliated art troupe of our 11th Corps, which is quite high. According to your literary and artistic expertise, the head of the art troupe will designate you to the military art academies for further study. After you come out, you will definitely be a civilian officer. Of course, under normal circumstances, you must ensure the level of performing arts and the long-term stability of the team, and generally there will be no demobilization in the short term."

Bao Hui had already learned that the head of the art troupe was the wife of Political Commissar Zhang. Before he could speak, he had already received the promise from the couple. For a moment, he didn't know how to refuse the person who looked at him with great anticipation.

Political Commissar Zhang immediately said readily: "Of course, you should not be affected by the controversy and misunderstandings about art soldiers in society. Many soldiers like us, who graduated from military academy as deputy company level, are basically transferred once every three years. An ordinary officer starts to join the army after attending the college entrance examination and can only be transferred to the deputy battalion after 10 years, and at least 6 years of service."

Bao Hui is quite interested in military promotion.

Political Commissar Zhang was already chatting happily alone: ​​"I'm not afraid to tell you some news: Some time ago, our Hai6 Art Troupe specially recruited a celebrity singer. After joining the army, it was the regiment level. It is inevitable that many officers who have been in the army for many years will be mentally unbalanced, and there is also a lot of controversy in society. There are years of promotion for military positions. It takes at least 19 years from enrollment to the regiment, and this still requires opportunities and positions. Many soldiers have been in the army for a lifetime, but they cannot be promoted to the regiment level and become intermediate cadres of the People's Liberation Army. But in contrast, many military literary and artistic workers easily become regiment-level and military-level cadres."

Bao Hui nodded. He had learned a lot of this situation from the bald Li.

Political Commissar Zhang said: "This military promotion is too fast, which has caused controversy and criticism for the literary and artistic soldiers. Art workers will be awarded when participating in a singing competition, and then promoted in advance. Compared with the officers of the combat troops, the promotion level is not the same level, and it is also criticized."

He handed out a piece of paper to Bao Hui.

Bao Hui took it and saw that it was a special paper for the promotion of the military rank of "Private" to "Private" but it was not the 117th Division, but the big seal of the 11th Corps. He couldn't help but smile happily.

System: "Military post promotion, first-level private advances to second-level private..."

"Your military rank promotion is definitely the first time in history that involves conscripts." Political Commissar Zhang smiled and said, "You have seen it, I have said so much, and you have also learned about the incomparable differences and futures between combat troops and military literary and artistic workers."

Bao Hui nodded. He has always been eloquent and said that he was right at the moment and didn't know how to say it.

Political Commissar Zhang sighed, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "You think carefully. I hope you follow your original intention and think carefully about your own future. Don't let down your outstanding artistic genius qualifications!"

Bao Hui watched him walk away, grinned, grabbed his head, and then said goodbye and left the warehouse...

At this time, Xu Fei put down his telescope on the combat planning room on the third floor in the distance.

"How is it?" Zhang Xuyi said proudly.

"I am worthy of being my old platoon leader, and my eyes are still so accurate!" Xu Fei laughed and said, "How do you know that this kid will not be persuaded by Political Commissar Zhang?"

"Hmph! Don't think that you are from a special forces, but you look down on the conventional combat troops!" Zhang Xuyi said with a blank look: "As long as you are a non-commissioned officer squad leader with many years of experience, you can see at a glance that the cannon fodder is definitely the master of the combat troops. As for whether you will return to the special forces with you, it depends on his own wishes! Humph..."

"Hehe!" Xu Fei quickly gave a charming smile.

"The squad leader under your command is quite interesting." Zhang Xu pointed out something.

Xu Fei felt a little embarrassed.                                                            

Zhang Xuyi smiled and said, "He looks very much like Niu Dadan, the squad leader of Commander Duan and me before."

Xu Fei sighed a few times before saying, "How can Hao Renyi compete with Squad Leader Niu? Although Squad Leader Niu's low education has affected his advancement, his honorary title of model squad leader in history has brought out three division commanders, deputy division commanders, five regiment levels, deputy regiment levels, and nine battalions-level deputy battalions...; it is not comparable to others!"

Zhang Xuyi smiled and said, "You can leave Hao Renyi for me. If you don't have to ten years, he will definitely be better than my old squad leader! This is what squad leader Niu told me personally a few days ago..."

Xu Fei said in surprise: "What? Really, squad leader Niu is really like this... Hehe, I almost fell for you. Old platoon leader, you are too dark. Of course, Hao Renyi is where I went, where he went!"

Captain Zhang laughed and said, "Don't be full of words. You and I can't tell you what Hao Renyi will look like in the future."

Xu Fei: “…”

...

At this time, a "report" sound came from the door. It seemed to be Hao Renyi and Bao Hui.

Captain Zhang waved and said, "Come in, come in..."

Hao Renyi and Bao Hui came in a few steps and stood attentively and saluted.

When Battalion Commander Zhang saw them, he was particularly happy and said with a smile: "I informed me some time ago, and you also know that in a while, it will be a red and blue simulated war of resistance..."

He took a sip of tea and jumped around the topic casually: "However, just received a notice from Political Commissar Zhang that before the confrontation exercise, the three-year basketball championship in the entire army had already begun to enter the qualifiers."

Not to mention Bao Hui and Hao Renyi, even the second company commander Xu Fei was extremely surprised.

"Our reconnaissance battalion, as the seed team of the 117th Division's semi-finals, can avoid the qualifying rounds, but our three regular combat companies of our reconnaissance battalion are still divided into three teams to conduct warm-up selections and reserve team members."

Battalion Commander Zhang looked at Bao Hui with deep meaning and said with a smile: "Political Commissar Zhang is quite dissatisfied with you, Bao Hui. In order to prove that you have a comprehensive exhibition of culture and sports, you are a qualified soldier of the new era, so I signed you up..."

"What?" Bao Hui, Hao Renyi, and Xu Fei screamed in unison.

Bao Hui was deeply surprised and depressed. Can he still join the army?

Hao Renyi was surprised and secretly happy.

Xu Fei was completely confused.

Captain Zhang glanced at the three of them and blamed him: "I shouted at this little thing, what are you doing, what are you doing!"

Xu Fei, who was familiar with him, quickly stood at attention.

Hao Renyi was unable to react and was kicked on the military's upper by Battalion Commander Zhang, so he quickly stood attentively.

Bao Hui saw the opportunity and stood at attention immediately.

Battalion Chief Zhang gave him a blank look and said angrily: "Is it still like being a soldier? It's a careless person. Do you understand? Is it just training, shooting, exercise, and doing tasks in the army... Bao Hui, what kind of literary and artistic military exercises you have participated in some time ago? For soldiers, modern soldiers, you must have comprehensive cultivation of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. Not only should the military quality be strong, but the thoughts must be unified and upright. Alas! We also need to have cultural and sports. In this way, will our military camp life be more colorful?! It shows that our senior leaders care about us. The military camp does not just know mechanical training and cold-blooded. It is full of humanity..."

He talked a long speech for dozens of minutes, making the three of them speechless and dared not breathe...

"I finally know where Company Commander Xu learned this routine!" Bao Hui ran past his heart.

Battalion Commander Zhang finally summarized and said, "So, what's wrong with playing basketball? It's worth making a fuss? No matter what, I'll see your company as a seed team. The main players are your company. Xu Fei, you personally lead the team and grab me the 'top seed' position in the 117th Division's cycling group preliminary round! Otherwise..."

Xu Fei waved his hand and wiped his cold sweat quickly, saluted quickly, and said, "Yes! Ensure that the task is completed!"

"Okay!" Battalion Commander Zhang nodded and said, "You go and prepare, Hao Renyi stays, and a senior asks me to send you a letter..."

...

When he returned to the dormitory, Bao Hui was almost depressed. Being scolded was a trivial matter, and he didn't take it seriously. "What basketball game? I really don't want to participate. A new art military exercise will give him enough trouble. I hope this basketball game will not stimulate the system. If anything happens, it will be quite, quite bad!"

The next day, Company Commander Xu drew 16 new and old soldiers, all of whom were of excellent physical fitness.

"You all heard of the basketball game." Captain Xu said seriously: "I would like to emphasize that it doesn't matter if you can't play, but don't lose your momentum..."

As soon as he explained, everyone understood: "The basketball game of the military men is similar to that of the rugby. As long as they are in good health and can withstand the fierce and strong confrontation!"

Bao Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "My physical fitness is absolutely enough now. I should not stimulate the system anymore. I will travel to the world of any special basketball event and learn basketball skills."

Sure enough, Bao Hui had a relaxed life in the warm-up selection competition of the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion.

No one is a player with strong basketball skills. After simple basic dribbling and shooting training, he will rely on his body to fight on the court...

"Hey, how can you train your kid's body? You're so tough. My buddy almost got knocked apart by you."

In the three games of the Reconnaissance Battalion, Bao Hui averaged 5 points, 13 rebounds, 11 steals, 8 blocks, uh, 4 fouls, 6 turnovers...

Such a tough iron-blooded ball style has not scored high in total. Only once did you get 50 points in a row, and every time the team in a row and three consecutive games have only 2 or 30 points.

However, a few old opponents performed quite well.

Sheng Junfeng from the 2nd Company, 2nd Company, 117th Division Reconnaissance Battalion, and Xia Yunze from the 2nd Company, one scored 20 points per game, and the other played the organization guards averaged 2nd assists per game. Mei Shaohua and Mei Shaodong from the 3rd Company of the 117th Division Reconnaissance Battalion cooperated with each other...

All four of them were selected by Company Commander Xu to the 16-person list of the seed team of the 117th Division's reconnaissance battalion, plus Bao Hui and another platoon leader named Zhang Wenbin. The other 10 people were all non-commissioned squad leaders.

"We have a 15-day special basketball training period. During this period, you will not have to participate in any other training. Our Battalion Commander Zhang invited a special basketball coach from the provincial team to train everyone's basketball skills..."
Chapter completed!
