Chapter 82: "Minimal Private Visit"

If the relatives of the county party secretary want to join the army, they naturally do not have to go through the recruitment cadres. However, if he wants his relatives to live well and develop well in the army, he needs to curry favor with the recruitment cadres. He, a county party secretary in a mountainous area, speaks here very well, but when he reaches the army, he has no influence.

The cadres who received the troops were representatives of the troops. Of course, I was just guessing. I was not willing to attend the reception banquet in the name of the county party committee. Moreover, he did not mention any help when drinking. If he hadn't shown extraordinary concern in the end, I would have thought he was just welcomed us.

Gao Tian always slept soundly on the bed. I washed a little, and returned to my room and lay on the bed. Many thoughts arose in my mind. Regardless of whether Lin Chonggao asked me for help, there was a principle that could not be changed, that is, my body. If this is related to the infectious disease of the soldiers, it would definitely not be recruited to the army.

The troops are like this. Whoever takes back the soldiers will be responsible. I remember that a senior brother who had a good relationship was in our provincial military region before. When he was receiving the troops last year, he didn't control himself. Several withdrawals occurred. Every time he paid for it, he was responsible for sending the soldiers home. It would be fine if he spent money. His impression in front of the leader was immediately extremely poor. Everyone knows what the problem is.

I lay on the bed thinking about it all, and then fell asleep for a while. This sleep was very stable, breathing in the air of my hometown, and my dreams were much sweeter. Until the room phone woke me up - I called the front desk last night and asked them to call in at 7:30 in the morning to wake me up.

When we arrived next door, the boy Gao Tian had already gotten up long ago and looked like a hangover. Yesterday he really reserved something. We had breakfast in the hotel and saw the car from the armed forces coming. It was the head of the political engineering department who personally brought the car to pick us up. After meeting, he praised a few words like our amazing alcohol tolerance - mainly to praise me, the boy Gao Tian pretended to be cowardly last night.

Then we took a bus to the office location of the county armed forces department in the western suburbs of the city. After we came to their conference room and sat down, Minister Liu Kehua said:

"Company Commander Lu, Platoon Commander Gao, you are here! Today I will introduce our conscription work arrangements first! The mobilization has been done long ago. This year, our county's mission is 98 new recruits. So far, more than 200 young people of appropriate age have signed up enthusiastically, and everyone is still very motivated."

I smiled and said, "I have to thank the local government and your armed forces for their support! It is your good publicity and mobilization work."

After a few words of modesty, Liu Kehua continued:

"Our arrangement is that today, young people from various townships will come to the county hospital for military inspections. For this reason, the military sub-district hospital also sent doctors to assist in the work. Our armed forces department has stepped up political review work, as well as the preparations for new recruits to be loaded and the arrangements of vehicles, etc.."

I nodded, looked at Gao Tian, ​​and said:

"Okay, we both have nothing to do anyway, so let's go to the hospital for a look!"

Liu Kehua nodded in agreement with a smile and asked Section Chief Liu Zhi to send me a car - in fact, the entire armed forces department only had one car, that is, the Santana yesterday.

Everyone was tacit about each other. In fact, when we came down, we mainly had to supervise the recruitment work. After all, soldiers were the ones we wanted. There was no military hospital in P County, and military inspections were organized in local hospitals. This was also the part I was most worried about. Although we had to conduct a unified review after we arrived at the army, if the problem was found at that time, Gao Tian and I couldn't explain it clearly, and others would definitely think that we had gained other people's benefits.

Next, I exchanged my views with each other. After all, I was not from the same unit, and work matters had to be discussed. After the meeting, I looked at the time and guessed that the military inspection there was going to start, so I said to Liu Kehua:

"Minister Liu, then you guys are busy, Gao Tian and I will go to the county hospital!"

Liu Kehua hurriedly said:

"Company Commander Lu, can you go to my office first? I have something to discuss with you."

Gao Tian and I looked at each other, and I signaled him to wait at the door, then nodded with a smile, followed Liu Kehua into the office quietly, and said to myself:

"What else can you do at this time? And you have to say in the office that it must be Lin Chonggao's explanation yesterday!"

After I entered the door, Liu Kehua locked the door and said:

"Company Commander Lu, that's right. Secretary Lin of our county party committee, you saw him yesterday. His niece was also applying for this group of recruitment. Our armed forces meant to be convenient, but you are the receiving unit, so I want to discuss it with you first."

I was shocked! Niece? Among the new recruits we recruited, there are only two female soldiers! And they must have literary and artistic expertise. Before leaving, the leader repeatedly told me that this custody must be strictly controlled. At first, I just guessed that a relative of Secretary Lin was going to join the army, but I didn't expect that he was still a woman...

I said with a look of dismay:

"Minister Liu, you have also read the document. The recruitment of female soldiers this time is equivalent to a special recruitment. It requires special skills in literature and art, and the physical examination standards cannot be relaxed at all. Just two female soldiers' quotas are the leaders above, and I can't do this. I'm sorry."

After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave, Liu Kehua hurriedly said:

"Company Commander Lu, after listening to me, Lin Qian has no problems. She will definitely pass the physical examination. In terms of literature and art, is it considered a specialty to pass the level 10 of the piano? Moreover, she has been teaching in those training classes since she was a child and is good at singing and dancing."

I looked at Liu Kehua strangely and said:

"Then there is no need for Secretary Lin to come to me! Just let her compete by herself."

Liu Kehua smiled bitterly and said:

"Tell me the truth, the military division chiefs are all holding the quota of female soldiers! The two female soldiers in our county have been settled, and even Secretary Lin has no choice. Moreover, Lin Qian is a little reluctant to join the army, mainly because she failed the exam in the art academy. She herself means she wants to repeat the exam..."

I was even more strange. I asked, "I was confused by you. It would be useless to find me in such a situation!"

Liu Kehua smiled awkwardly and said:

"Aren't you the receiving unit? Actually, I want to tell the above that Lin Qian is what you insist on, but the recruits have to go to the military sub-district to gather and get on the train. The military sub-district leaders will definitely see you, so I would like to ask you to help..."

Isn’t this obviously going to offend me? But if Lin Qian is really excellent, I would recruit her without them saying that - the recruitment of female soldiers requires our soldiers to check in person. After all, the competition is too fierce, and various local relationships are complicated. Now some military sub-districts and armed departments are really lawless, and everything can be sold for money!

Thinking of this, I said:

"Minister Liu, let me tell you my opinion. I need to see if Lin Qian is as excellent as you said. I will interview myself. If the situation is true, we will definitely recruit such talents. She has some ideas and can also enlighten her! On the issue of female soldiers, I will definitely stick to principles, and even if I offend people, I will do whatever I can!"

Liu Kehua showed a touch of emotion, and he said:

"Then thank you first. Commander Lu. In fact, the matter is not that serious. You and us are not in the same system. Even the commander of the military sub-district cannot order you, let alone you just stick to principles! Secretary Lin didn't let me talk about this matter, otherwise I would have to say it yesterday, but I saw that Commander Lu was a cadre who dared to speak for justice, so he took the initiative to say it."

It seems that Lin Qian does have two tricks. I just promised him to provide a relatively fair environment. He started to put on a high hat on me, as if things had been done. But he also thought too simply. Although the commander of the military sub-district is not my direct superior, he is still a division-level cadre at least, and there will be no one on the top? I really don’t dare to offend him if I change someone.

I smiled and said, "If there is nothing wrong, I will go to the hospital first! By the way, the issue of female soldiers, can the armed forces department organize the information as soon as possible? I think I will pass it myself this afternoon, tomorrow at the latest, and eliminate a group of people before talking about it."

Liu Kehua said with a smile:

"Okay, no problem! Then I'll ask the driver to drive you!"

I quickly said, "No, you have many places to use cars today? Minister Liu, don't forget that I am also from P County, and I just happened to visit my old place again..."

Seeing that I said this, Liu Kehua no longer insisted. There are still many jobs today, and no one cares about such small things.

After leaving, I said to Gao Tian:

"Let's go, Xiao Gao, how about we have a private visit today?"

Gao Tian looked at me in confusion, and I said with a smile:

"Follow me, what's the matter!"

After saying that, I pulled him out and took a "tricycle" and went straight to the hotel where we stayed. On the motorized tricycle, I told him about my thoughts. So, as soon as we arrived at the place, we went back to our respective rooms to change into casual clothes, and then killed the county hospital directly. Of course, the officer certificate and the letter of introduction issued by the unit were to be brought with us.

I have been to high school here for three years, and the county town is not big, so I am naturally very familiar with it. I have been to the county hospital many times, including physical examinations for admission, physical examinations before the college entrance examination, and before going to Fuzhou for military examinations...

After we got off the bus, I took Gao Tian around the main entrance with a familiarity. I knew that the hospital would be open normally, and the physical examinations of more than 200 people must be conducted later - we were all in the building next to the inpatient department.

Sure enough, after we walked around, we saw these future PLA soldiers queuing up for physical examinations. I glanced at it and found that there were quite a few girls coming to apply for the recruitment. No wonder it was so difficult for the county party secretary to want a place.

The military inspection area was separated by isolation belts, and all idle people were blocked outside, including parents of young people who were recruited. Next to the yellow isolation belt, soldiers from the county armed police squadron were standing guard. These gun-holding soldiers were a deterrent to those who tried to get close. After all, the isolation belt was too thin, and parents and those who were watching the fun were crowded.

Gao Tian asked: "Company Commander Lu, how can we get in?"

I smiled and said, "Look out first, what I see is the most objective!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a quarrel sound from a room. Then, I saw a young man running out angrily. Two parents around me were obviously his parents. They came up nervously and looked at the armed police standing guard timidly, standing in front of the isolation belt waiting. After the young man came over, they asked anxiously:

"Xiao Feng, what happened?"

The young man walked out angrily and was talking to his parents, but as he walked farther and farther away, I couldn't hear it clearly. I saw that there might be a problem with this, so I quickly told Gao Tian to wait for me here, and then I chased after him and asked in the local dialect of my hometown:

"Young man, what's wrong inside just now? My brother is also having a physical examination inside. I want to know what happened?"

The young man looked at me angrily and said loudly:

"Why should I tell you?"

The boy was still angry, and the young man's mother quickly pulled his sleeve and said to me apologetically:

"Don't be as good as him, he's just such a bad temper!"

I smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, aunt, do you know what happened just now?"

The aunt sighed and said:

"The doctor said that this child has flat feet and cannot be a soldier..."

When the young man who had just calmed down heard this, he started shouting again:

"What flat feet? Fucking nonsense! Do you think I've never seen the world? I've been working outside for several years!"

I felt strange when I heard this. Is it easy to identify flat feet? Even if the doctor wants to use secret tricks, it is impossible for him to make a fuss about this! Does this young man really have no idea what flat feet are?

Thinking of this, I said to the young man:

"Young man, can you take off your shoes and socks? Let me see..."

The young man said angrily:

"Don't I know if it's flat feet? I still want you to see it? Even if you know I'm not useless!"

The young man is really angry, but my stubbornness has also come up. I smiled and said:

"Confirm it to me, it will not cause any loss to you, right? And as long as your health is qualified and the political review can be passed, I promise you can become a soldier!"

The young man looked at me suspiciously, and I also looked at him with a smile. The young man's father looked honest and had not spoken. At this time, he couldn't help but say:

"Xiao Feng, just let this gentleman see it! Maybe you made a mistake by yourself and even wronged the doctor..."

When he heard this, the young man took off his shoes and socks without saying a word, and said while taking them off:

"Even you don't believe me!"

I signaled him to lift his foot, and then looked at his soles carefully. It was normal. If you change to the other foot, it was still the same. It was not a flat foot at all. I was puzzled. If you say that the doctor wanted to deliberately eliminate someone and just move his hands and feet on the physical examination form, why do you do such a pediatric trick?

At this time, a few people passed by me. Although their chatting sound was very small, I also heard a little.

"Dad, thanks to you reminded me that after you went in today, a surgeon said that my shoulders were high and low, and I could not join the army. I handed over the prepared red envelope as you said, and he didn't say anything immediately..."

I looked around and the young man was talking with his shoulders flat, and there was no place where he was high and low!

Surgery, flat feet, shoulders, red envelopes... Suddenly I figured it out, I pulled up the young man wearing shoes and said:
Chapter completed!
