Chapter 30: Take office

Sitting on the plane back to Fuzhou, I was thinking about the scene just now: I took the order from Lei Jun, and then we hugged each other tightly. Lei Jun comforted me like a big brother. Leaving is always painful, but I chose the road myself. No matter how difficult it is, I have to go on by myself. Leaving the shadow is an end, but it is also a starting point, the starting point for me to strive for my ideals, and the starting point for me to let my dreams fly and spread my wings and fly high!

The plane landed smoothly at Changle Airport in Fuzhou. I did not go home or contact Xiaoying. I carried my luggage alone and came to the xx Infantry Division of the xx Group Army located in Fuzhou city.

The scorching sun in early autumn is still fierce, making me unable to open my eyes. The street trees on the sidewalks and huge branches and leaves cannot withstand the invasion of the sun, and they sprinkle spots on the ground. In the small shop on the side of the road, many people were playing shirtless and shouting and playing cards. A dirty stray dog ​​was lying under the shadow of the tree, enjoying the rare coolness. I looked at the hurried pedestrians beside me, walking slowly under the scorching sun. I was feeling my own life, the real life!

After asking the fifth person, I found this xx infantry division headquarters that I have been famous for a long time but have never been to. Seeing this unit with an extremely glorious past and still makes the enemy shine. I remembered the simple and simple request that the captain gave us when he went to the military academy:

"When I was at school, I was proud of the college; after graduation, the college was proud of me!"

I believe that in the near future, I will be able to write my name in the honor room of this glorious team! I will make this glorious group more famous because of my existence!

As I imagined, the sentry here is like a sculpture, a sculpture full of murderous aura and powerful without anger. The sentry is a private, and on his childish face, there is a momentum of no other than me, a true military temperament that can only be achieved after hundreds of tempers. The scorching sun was raging on him, and his sweat was soaked in thick camouflage short sleeves. His dark arms were holding a 95 automatic rifle with his eyes wide open and staring forward intently... Before I entered the door, I fell in love with this place, a place with a scent of troops coming to my face.

I walked to the sentry and said to him:

"My little comrade, I am a cadre who came to report! This is my transfer order!"

After saying that, I handed him the transfer order. The sentry carefully checked my transfer order, then returned it to me with both hands, and said:

"Chief, the Cadre Section is right in front. From here, you can enter 500 meters, and the third floor of the office building!"

I smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Then I walked into this military compound with countless glorious history. I said to myself: This privateer is the same as when I was a new recruit. When I saw the cadres calling him the chief...

After walking about 500 meters along the tree-lined road, I saw the office building hidden by green trees. I walked into the office building with brisk steps. Following the guidance of the little soldier, I went straight to the third floor and looked around. At this time, a female officer came over and saw me and asked:

"Do you have anything to help?"

I looked up at the young female lieutenant. She had short hair and her skin was not very white, but she exuded a healthy luster. She had big eyes, as if she was curious about everything. She wore an ordinary military uniform and looked so well-fitting, and she set off her heroic spirit. I secretly praised in my heart: Another female hero in the army!

I said politely:

"Hello, I'm here to report, I don't know who to look for."

The female lieutenant said enthusiastically:

"Is that so? Then we will be colleagues in the future! Hello, my name is Ye Xiaoyan! I just assigned this year!"

After saying that, she took the initiative to extend her hand, and I shook her hand and said:

"Lu Changfeng! I graduated this year too!"

Ye Xiaoyan looked at my captain's epaulette in surprise. After a while, she grew up and said:

"You are the hero who saves people! It was often promoted on newspapers and TV some time ago! No wonder I thought you looked familiar just now!"

I smiled embarrassedly - I was really embarrassed, because the thing about saving people was completely nonsense! I never did it at all! I said:

"There are nothing to mention in the past..."

Ye Xiaoyan smiled and said, "The hero is quite modest! Haha, I heard you just now that you graduated this year, and when I saw you are a captain, I thought you were a graduate student!"

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that she had something to do and hurriedly said:

"Oh, there is still a piece of materials to give to the section chief! Let's talk to you later, I will interview you, the hero. I am the official in the publicity department!... By the way, you can just go to the cadre department to find Meng Xiangxi and Meng! The office of the office is the one above..."

After saying that, she hurriedly left. Seeing the hurried back of this straightforward girl, I couldn't help laughing. It seemed that she had just graduated and had not yet been infected with the bureaucratic style of the agency, or the agencies of the field troops were also different?

As I said, I came to the door of the officer's office and knocked on the door. A straightforward voice came from the room:

"Please come in!"

I pushed open the door and walked in. A major in his thirties sat at his desk. If I hadn't confirmed before entering, I really didn't believe that this was the office of the office. This major was very different from my mind's political officer. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he sat there, I could tell that he was a tall northern man, with a pair of thick and powerful hands that didn't look like a clerk writing materials with a pen holder.

He saw me walking in, stopped the work at hand, looked at me with inquiring eyes, and before he could ask questions, I said myself:

"Hello! I am a cadre who came to report, Lu Changfeng and xx base were transferred here. This is my transfer order!"

The officer looked at the order, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. He smiled and said:

"For the first time, I met a comrade from a foreign unit who volunteered to transfer work and came to us to suffer! Haha, your base contacted us this morning, but I didn't expect you to report so soon!"

I said, "I like it very much. It has a strong sense of troops. In comparison, the base is much looser, and I'm a little uncomfortable."

The officer smiled and said, "Welcome! Comrade Lu Changfeng! My name is Meng Xiangxi, and I am a cadre department officer!"

After saying that, he shook hands with me politely, and then said:

"In the morning, the section chief gave instructions. If you come to report, go directly to him. Maybe the leader wants to talk to you! Then... I will take you over now?"

I said readily: "Okay!"

Following Officer Meng to the door of the section chief’s office, Officer Meng led me in and said:

"Section Chief, this is Comrade Lu Changfeng who was transferred from the xx base!"

The section chief was about forty years old and had the rank of lieutenant colonel. He looked up at me and said with a smile:

"Welcome! Xiao Lu! Sit down and chat!"

Director Meng poured a cup of tea for me and the section chief, and then said:

"Section Chief, I'll go there first if there is nothing to do!"

The section chief nodded, Director Meng walked out of the door, gently pulled the door up, and the section chief said to me:

"Xiao Lu, I woke up early this morning and received a call from the headquarters cadre department, saying that you are coming to report today. Can you talk about your own ideas? Including why you choose to leave a relatively relaxed unit and come to our difficult field force, and you can talk about your ideas for your future work!"

I nodded and said:

"Section Chief, when it comes to leaving the base and coming to our division, there is actually no special reason. It is because I like this feeling of the army and the feeling of training life with the soldiers... You know, there are not many soldiers on the base..."

The section chief couldn't help but be amused by my statement, and he continued to ask:

"Then you come to work at our teacher. Do you have any units you want to go to? Although our teacher is not big, there are too many places suitable for you to go to!"

I knew the section chief was asking me to choose the unit I like, I said:

"Section Chief, I completely obey the organization's allocation. This is not a cliché. This is my true thought. If I didn't think so, there is no need for me to transfer my job. To be honest, any position in the base is easier than here! So you have the final say where I go!"

The section chief said with a smile:

"Well! The young man is straightforward, I like this kind of personality!"

He paused and continued:

"I know you are a first-class hero and a captain's position as a company. However, according to regulations, the new cadres who have just graduated from your military academy cannot directly serve as the company leader without experience in grassroots jobs. They may need a position to be transitioned, and they must be a position in the grassroots company. I must explain this to you in advance."

I answered readily: "No problem, everything will be done according to the regulations! If you give me a company now, I may not be able to lead the troops well. Leading troops requires experience!"

The section chief nodded with praise, he thought about it and then asked:

"There is an infantry company nearby, and there is still a lack of a deputy company commander and a platoon leader. Why don't you be the deputy company commander in the past? It won't be long, just a transition, follow a procedure, and you will be transferred to the main company immediately - you are the main company!"

I thought about it and said:

"Section Chief, I can understand that you have to start with the platoon leader after graduation! What's more, I'm just an undergraduate. If it weren't for the chance, I'm still a lieutenant now and should have started from scratch, but...Section Chief, I want to be the platoon leader, okay?"

The section chief looked at me with interest and asked:

"Why? Haha, it's the first time I've seen someone who thinks it's too big! Xiao Lu! You gave me too much surprise today!"

I smiled and said, "No, why! The reason is the same as what I said just now. I hope to contact more soldiers so that I can accumulate experience in leading troops as soon as possible. I think being a platoon leader may be more suitable for me!"

The section chief said, "Okay! Anyway, it's just for you to accumulate experience, don't worry! I will hand over that company to you soon... The company commander is already in contact with the unit and will soon be transferred to the job! It can be seen that you are a very motivated young man! Do it well after you go down!"

I stood up and stood attentively and replied, "Yes!"

The section chief nodded, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said:

"Is the car company? I am the chief of the cadre, Kezu. You send a small car here. There is a new cadre here to report! Well... hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone, the section chief said to me:

"Xiao Lu, you have a rest now. I will accompany you later, and then say hello to the gods in your company and let them support your work well."

I nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Section Chief!"

After a while, a third-level non-commissioned officer ran up "dongdongdongdong" and shouted at the door of the office:

"Report!"

The section chief looked up and said, "Come in!"

After the non-commissioned officer came in, he saluted the section chief and said, "Secretary Chief, the car has been parked downstairs. When will it leave?"

The section chief picked up the briefcase and said:

"Let's go now! Help Comrade Lu Changfeng get his luggage, and we will go to Sun Yuanchao's company for a meal at noon today!"

The third-level non-commissioned officer came over and helped me pick up my luggage. I quickly said:

"No need, I'll do it myself! Thank you, this squad leader!"

The third-level non-commissioned officer is older than me, and he is also an experienced person in the army. How dare I ask him to help me carry my luggage? In the army, respecting seniors is the most basic. Even if you are a cadre, if you complain to some old non-commissioned officers, the work will never be carried out, because these non-commissioned officers are the backbone of the grassroots level. To put it more exaggeratedly, they are the spiritual leaders of the soldiers. I remember a reporter once interviewed a soldier and asked:

"Who are you listening to in the army?"

The soldier replied without hesitation: "Squad Leader!"

That's it, not the platoon leader, not the company commander, nor the regiment commander, nor the regiment commander. In the minds of the soldiers, the status of the squad leader is supreme. "I will do whatever the squad leader asks me to do!"

The third-level non-commissioned officer didn't give in, so he asked me to carry my luggage by myself. When we got off the stairs, I saw a "cheetah" parked under the stairs. We drove out of the division gate in a "cheetah" in a "cheetah" and drove out of the division gate at lightning.

After the car drove in the city for a while, I saw a barracks in front of me from afar. I hadn't seen the barracks gate yet, but I saw only the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, and the twenty big words "political qualified, military-standard, excellent style, strict discipline, and strong security" on the exterior wall of the building. It seems that the section chief still took care of me. I know that many companies of the xx Infantry Division are stationed outside Fuzhou City, some even in remote mountainous areas, and this company is obviously better than other companies. The station is in Fuzhou City, with a bustling street at the door.
