Chapter 104 Different Options
"Old He, hurry up, it's dark if you leave late!"
In the company cafeteria, He Yuanchao hurriedly finished his last bite of food and asked his respective squads and platoon leader for instructions. He hurriedly pulled He Yang from the platoon next door and ran to the company commander and instructor, stood attentively and saluted, and requested to leave the camp.
Normally, the troops do not have holidays.
The company usually trains in the morning and after two hours of training in the afternoon, it will study collectively and can only move freely in the camp after six o'clock dinner. There is no training on Sundays, but it is not allowed to leave the camp. The soldiers usually wash clothes on this day for personal hygiene.
After moving into the new barracks, the conditions improved a lot.
The leisure entertainment activities of the soldiers after training have gradually become richer. In addition to traditional basketball, football, table tennis, chess, and poker, they can also read books in the central library of the camp. The large conference room of each company also serves as an audio-visual room, and the military service center provides copies, mostly old movies such as "The Battle of the South and the North", "The Scouting of the River Crossing the River", and some old documentaries.
However, the main function of the audio-visual studio is to serve as a learning place for night schools, and teachers come to tutor the soldiers every day.
On weekends, the service center will also open a game room, including billiards, rollerblades, karaokes, electronic games, etc., with rich and colorful entertainment projects. Every Sunday afternoon, basketball and football matches between companies will be held on the training grounds of each company, forming an annual league system within the army. The rules-complete confrontational competitive sports not only relieves the tension and fatigue accumulated by the soldiers during the week of training, but also speeds up the running-in between new and old soldiers, deepens the soldiers' sense of collective honor, and increases their sense of belonging to the army, the large group.
The intimate friendship between comrades and the meticulous ideological work of political cadres greatly alleviated the soldiers' homesickness.
Since the Spring Festival, educated youth have been carried out, soldiers have returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, and the military sub-district has found the results very well.
There were only a dozen people who went back to visit relatives and had no news. They did not return after the deadline. The others returned to the military sub-district on time during the holidays. After returning, the mood of the past fluctuations was completely calmed down, their enthusiasm was high, and their work and study efficiency was greatly improved.
After the political cadres and counselors talked to them in person, the soldiers, educated youth, and workers, after returning, were unfamiliar with their hometowns: the family, which felt sweet when they were young, was actually so poor in life; the familiar streets and buildings were as dilapidated as ever; the childhood playmates were still unemployed at home and doing nothing; the family was crowded in a room of more than ten square meters, and the elder brother and sister-in-law, who had already started a family, had no room to divide the house in the unit, and they were still crowded in the dormitory of eight people. They had to live a couple's life and asked their roommates to leave temporarily, or they could only go to a secluded place in the park and have a quiet place...
Reality ripped off their beautiful memories, and their hearts were greatly impacted.
People say happiness is more common.
In the military sub-district, although they were like every day, they were still full of longing for their hometown in their minds. But when they actually came back, they suddenly realized that the development of the military sub-district had surpassed their hometown in some parts, and far exceeded them!
When the family members were happy about the sausages, bacon, cloth, candy, watches, and audio recorders they brought back, they also felt the lack of supplies in the mainland. These things can be bought anytime in the military sub-district, but they still need to be supplied with tickets in China!
Seeing that their childhood friends who were already old and were still anxious about the indicators of entering the factory, they felt even more precious about their current life in the military sub-district.
So before the holiday ended, except for a dozen people who were really reluctant to leave their homes, everyone else was on time and even set out to return to the military sub-district in advance.
It is not only them who return, but also relatives, childhood partners, even neighbors, and children of colleagues from parents and units. In this era when every household has several children, due to the lack of jobs, almost every family has children who are unemployed at home.
I heard that the military sub-district has a wide range of work and generous treatment, so many families are tempted.
Even if you look at the true or false, you will never be wrong when you come to the military division to see.
With such thoughts, the soldiers, educated youth and workers who returned to the military sub-district one after another brought more than one companion, and more than a dozen people.
From the beginning of the New Year to the end of February, the military sub-district not only did not lose a lot of blood, but there were nearly 40,000 more people. After a period of on-site investigation, most of them stayed! Therefore, not counting the people who came to work in the Northeast Military Region next door, the population of the military sub-district suddenly soared to 71,000!
Including the newly reported college students, the permanent and temporary residents of the military sub-district have reached more than 77,000!
With the good demonstration results of this visit to relatives, the confidence of the military sub-district has increased greatly, and the whole country has no objection to the relaxation of contacts with the country.
Not only educated youth, but also workers can return to their hometown to visit their relatives during holidays, but also troops commanders and fighters. There are also fifteen days of holidays every year and can take turns to visit their relatives.
He Yuanchao had already returned home once before the New Year. Today, he made a special trip to Kong Lingchen and Xue Zhen just delivered the new house to celebrate their housewarming, and called He Yang too.
After leaving the gate of the camp, they immediately arrived at the gate of the teaching camp not far away, and met Suning and Zhang Yingxue.
Suning and other domestic veterans have very good qualities, especially Suning, He Yang, and Zhang Yingxue, who have served as deputy company commanders and platoon leaders in the domestic ace troops, and their personal technical and tactical abilities are very outstanding. Although they have been discharged for a period of time, they still have outstanding performance among more than a thousand new recruits.
When you enter the recruit training camp, you will be provided with enough meat every day and the nutrition is supplemented. After several weeks of recovery training, your performance on the training ground is even more eye-catching.
Whether it is personal military posture, team collaboration ability, or personal technical and tactical level, it can be called outstanding. Not to mention comparing with new recruits, even if it expands to the entire military sub-district field troops, it can be called second to none!
Before the training of the recruits was over, Suning was designated as the platoon leader of the recruits company, and most of the others became squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. The instructor also specially talked to Suning and the others to ask if he was willing to stay in the army. If he wanted, he would be transferred to the ranks of professional soldiers, and his salary level would be increased accordingly, and he would become the key training target of the army, and he would be given priority in the future.
Although the military sub-district is only a brigade-level organization with 6,000 people, the cadres are promoted very quickly.
The military sub-district is developing rapidly, and factories are built and put into use one by one. The factory leaders have always been drawn from the army and civil affairs, military cadres serve as party secretary, civil affairs cadres serve as factory directors, and workers elect trade union cadres. The three parties are restricted by each other. The construction speed of the new city is so fast that functional units will be established one after another in the future, and there are thousands of cadres needed.
Compared with civil affairs cadres, it takes one step at a time, military-to-civilian cadres are a shortcut.
If Suning agrees to transfer to professional service, with his ability, it is very likely that he will become a battalion-level cadre in the future, even if he reaches the regiment level. If he is unwilling, he will serve for three years and be extended to five years at most. He will receive professional training after the transfer, enter factories, mines, and work in local areas.
The two paths have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how the individual chooses.
After listening to the preferential terms for professional soldiers in the Military Sub-district, He Yang and others signed a lifelong service consent form without hesitation and became professional soldiers. The reason why they came to the Military Sub-district was that they could not live without the life of the army, and they did not want to farm at home. Due to the relationship between the People's Army and the country, they did not feel that there was anything wrong with serving here. The prospering prospect of the Military Sub-district also made them increasingly at ease.
Suning was a little hesitant and did not agree immediately. After thinking for a few days, he still politely stated that he planned to take a look. Zhang Yingxue used to be his iron-kick in the army, so he naturally had the same heart as his old boss and did not sign a contract.
The instructor did a lot of work and asked his superiors for instructions. He had no choice but to not force them and respect their personal choices.
Because of this, when the recruits were over, He Yang and other domestic veterans stood out in the field troops with their outstanding performance and soon served as squad leader and deputy squad leader. He Yang, who had the most outstanding abilities, was quickly promoted to deputy squad leader because of his skillful squad command ability because of his skillful squad command ability. It can be seen how the military sub-district is eager to seek talent.
Only Suning, Zhang Yingxue and other five people who were unwilling to sign the consent form were arranged to the teaching battalion to serve as training instructors and responsible for training class, platoon and company-level commanders.
This can be said to be treated differently, but it is not wrong to say that it is tailor-made.
Suning has served as deputy company commander in China, attended Shijiazhuang Infantry School, and received complete junior commander learning. It is suitable for training company-level commanders in the teaching battalion, and it is also a necessary step for the troops to move from wild paths to regularization.
He Yang was afraid that Suning would be unhappy, so he took advantage of the opportunity of He Yuanchao's invitation to him along the way and called Suning out and everyone went to the city to relax.
"Why are you still wearing training uniforms? Look at me, aren't you handsome?" He Yang deliberately adjusted the collar of the new military uniform, straightened the brim of the hat, and showed off in front of Suning with pride.
In order to congratulate He Yuanchao's friends on their relocation, both of them were dressed in Spring and Autumn. He Yang was not bad, and the military uniform sewn with wool fabric was comfortable and crisp, and the waist-hugging design made him look a bit heroic. The gray-green shirt, dark green tie, flaky green jacket, a yellow ribbon on the large-brimmed hat, a shiny copper buckle, a brass collar seal, an eagle's wing-spreading chest, a qualification seal, armband, and middle-gang combat boots, the color contrast is sharp, and the whole person looks particularly handsome.
In fact, Suning and Zhang Ying learned to dress well.
Their training uniforms are sewn with thickened denim fabric, which looks strong and wear-resistant at first glance. The light brown base is sprayed with jungle digital camouflage of different shades of green, black, and brown squares, a camouflage army hat, only cloth-sewn chest marks, collar seals, armbands, and embossed combat boots under their feet, which are also capable.
