Chapter 148: Turning Point
My status in the next time can be described in four words - it was overwhelmed. The entire division carried out an unprecedented level of work style and discipline rectification. All departments of our political department were busy, and the superiors assigned us cadres as quickly as possible, saving us from the pain of long-term lack of staffing - this is simply unimaginable in the emergency maneuver operational combat troops. Generally speaking, military cadres like us are slightly over-staffed, and it is also for the needs of wartime!
However, if I am too idle compared to Mr. Zhong, Liu and others, I have contacted them several times these days and have a better understanding of their recent situation. Such a large number of people are also a huge project for trial, not to mention that they must stabilize the situation and try to eliminate the adverse effects of this action. It should be said that this action was very successful in a sense, but the negative impact it has on the country's political, economic and military aspects is also objectively present. I believe that the leader will make such a bold decision after weighing the pros and cons.
The facts proved that this decision was correct. Everything seemed to be running in an orderly manner at least on the surface of change. Even if there was a surge of undercurrents below, it was suppressed by Mr. Zhong and others. The removal of this big cancer in the Wang family gave me the feeling that it suddenly became much lighter. I believe that in the long run, this decision must have more benefits than disadvantages.
Ye Xiaoyan's injuries are also improving, but I know it through Lin Feng. To be honest, I am a little afraid of seeing her. It was because of emotional reasons before, but now it is even more complicated. Her father, our former chief of staff, Ye Chengfei, is likely to be shot after the trial, and he was arrested by me. I really don't know how to face Ye Xiaoyan's eyes after I went to the hospital. I have always been fearless and chose to escape this time, but I also ordered Lin Feng to take care of the whole hospital. I was worried if I changed to others. After all, her identity is a bit special now. For this reason, Lin Feng was quite slight at the beginning, but later he didn't know why, so I didn't complain.
One day half a month after the end of the lightning operation, at a shift meeting, Political Commissar Yang suddenly announced his appointment to me - the word "dai" on my head was finally removed. Although this was just a natural thing, many people still looked at me with envy. In the army, battalion to regiment positions is a difficult hurdle, because deputy regiment cadres can enjoy retirement benefits when they leave the army, and a large number of cadres transferred to their jobs due to various reasons such as age and leverage, and are only one step away from the deputy regiment.
After the meeting, Political Commissar Yang left me alone, and he said to me with a smile:
"Changfeng! You have done a good job of confidentiality!"
By this time, the Wang family's affairs were so big, and now the matter has basically ended, and only some after-care work is left, so Political Commissar Yang also heard some of the news.
I scratched my head embarrassedly and said:
"Political commissar, the superior chief has repeatedly told me, but I can't do anything about it! Don't be surprised!"
Political Commissar Yang said with a smile:
"What do you mean? How can I blame you? Why do I say that I am a veteran of more than 20 years of military service? Do you don't understand these rules?"
I smiled and didn't say anything. He said he was not surprised and would definitely feel uncomfortable. It was nothing to keep this matter secret from him, but I, a small battalion cadre, knew it, and he could not be without any emotion.
When Political Commissar Yang saw that I didn't say anything, he asked with a smile:
"Changfeng! Now that you are the section chief, what are your plans for the future! Haha, you are the fastest-progressing cadre I have ever seen. I remember when I was the director of the political department of the League below, my children were all in junior high school!"
I thought about it and said:
"Political Commissar, this is the trust of the organization in me. Of course I can't let it go. I think what I can do now is to do a good job in the security department. There is nothing else to consider!"
Political Commissar Yang looked at me with a smile and said:
"If I guess correctly, Changfeng, you are in the Security Department, and it is the superior leader who is preparing for the actions of the previous period. Now the actions are over. I don't think you can stay in the Security Department Chief - that's too incompetent! You should go to a place where you can better play your advantages!"
I smiled and said lightly:
"You are joking. I just transferred the deputy group. How can I move again? I'm already fast enough in front of me. Now I should enter a period of stable development..."
Political Commissar Yang smiled but did not answer, and after a while he said:
"Changfeng! How about you go to the xxx regiment to be the chief of staff?"
I was stunned for a moment and said with a smile:
"Political Commissar, you see, I haven't calmed down after graduation. I've been engaged in administration now and then transferred to political work. I haven't worked in the Political Department for a few days now, can I do it again?"
The political commissar said with a smile:
"Why can't you do it? You forgot that you are the gold medalist in our army's competition! A famous sharpshooter in the entire army, and your training reform can be said to be very effective. Who dares to say "no" when you become the chief of staff?"
I smiled embarrassedly:
"Political Commissar, please don't praise me. It's right that this young cadre should encourage me more. I'm afraid you will spoil me..."
The political commissar said with a laugh:
"Haha, Changfeng, you think about it! You're not in a hurry. I think it's good for your development. Haha, but this is just my idea. Maybe the superiors will have better arrangements for you!"
I said sincerely:
"Thank you, political commissar, I know you are doing it for my own good! I will consider it carefully after I go back!"
After returning to the dormitory, I pondered for a long time. I knew that the chief of staff of an infantry regiment and the chief of the security department had completely different concepts. Although they were both deputy regiments in their positions, in terms of development space, the chief of staff was generally the first candidate to promote the regiment commander. Compared with the position of the security department chief, the position of the security department chief must be much better. After all, the security department chief should be the deputy director of the political department. So many cadres in the political department are watching!
But the biggest problem is that the headquarters of this regiment is not in Fuzhou. Once I go down to serve, I may not be able to come back for several years. When I return to Fuzhou again, my level must be the main regiment or deputy commander. This way, there are many inconveniences in life for me. Xiaoying and I finally have the situation today. I have less time together. Xiaoying has just graduated and came out to contact society. I really can't imagine if there will be any problems with our relationship...
After smoking a few cigarettes, I still couldn't make up my mind. For the first time, I became indecisive. For example, I did not hesitate when I left my work-easy unit and came to the field troops. This time, I was unable to make a decision. In the end, I decided to call Mr. Zhong for his opinion.
After the operation, I handed in the confidential phone in my hand through confidential channels. I thought about it and went to the living room to pick up the military phone and call Mr. Zhong's office. He was very busy recently and probably was in the office.
Sure enough, the phone rang twice and then rang:
"Hello?"
Mr. Zhong's voice was full of fatigue, and I said:
"Grandpa, it's me, Changfeng!"
Grandpa said happily:
"So it's our great hero! Hello Changfeng!"
Listening to Mr. Zhong’s cheerful and slightly tired voice, I couldn’t help but say with concern:
"Grandpa, I know you are busy with work, but you must pay attention to rest! Also, you are in poor health, so you should take medicine on time!"
Mr. Zhong laughed:
"I understand! Changfeng, you and my secretary are becoming more and more similar, and you say the same thing, haha!"
Mr. Zhong paused and asked:
"Changfeng! I must have something to do when I look for me this time, right?"
Only then did I remembered the serious matters, and quickly told Mr. Zhong about his troubles, and then asked:
"Grandpa, can you give me some advice?"
Mr. Zhong laughed:
"Changfeng is not like you! You have always been a very opinionated person. I still remember the scene when I wanted to keep you at the headquarters, but you were determined to go back to Fujian! Haha, why did you hesitate today?"
I said embarrassedly:
"Grandpa, this matter is indeed a bit of a headache. As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. It seems that career and love cannot be achieved at the same time!"
Old Zhong laughed loudly, and after a while he said:
"Changfeng! Don't think so much about it first. Do you think you want to be the chief of staff? Or do you like to work in the agency or lead troops?"
I replied without thinking:
"That's more, I'm so suffocating in the organs. Of course I like to lead troops. Grandpa, I especially like the feeling of struggling with the soldiers. I think that's the real military camp! People in the organs are lazy all day long and can't get excited!"
Mr. Zhong said with a smile:
"Then don't let yourself be wronged. Changfeng, think about it, why did you transfer to Master XX for the first time? Is it to work in the agency every day like today? Then why should you transfer it!"
After hearing Mr. Zhong's words, I was a little confused. I said:
"So my grandfather suggested that I put my career first and ignore my relationships for now? But I can't give up on Xiaoying...!"
Mr. Zhong said:
"Look, you guy can't hold back! Haha, you're still young..."
After hearing Mr. Zhong's slow words, I couldn't help but ask in a hurry:
"Grandpa, just say what you have in one breath. I feel uncomfortable, I don't know what to decide..."
Mr. Zhong said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
