Chapter one hundred and sixty-three: see old friends again
Chapter 163: Meeting the old friend again
Regarding the candidate for the captain, I have thought of countless possibilities. Among the people I know, I don’t know, there are many middle-aged R&F and outstanding abilities. It can be said that there are many people suitable for this position, but even if I want to break my head, I would not think of this possibility. The captain of our Thunder Brigade is actually him...
That day, I was in contact with the resident government to build a power system. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Recently, everything was in trouble, so there were many people coming in and out of my office, so I shouted inadvertently:
"Please come in!"
The door was pushed open. While talking on the phone, I lowered my head and recorded some important matters on the paper. I didn't pay attention to who the person was. The man didn't say a word. Until I hung up the phone and looked up, my mouth immediately opened into an "o" shape, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
The one who stood in front of me with a smile was Lei Jun! The leader of Team Lei who led me into the door of the shadow group and then helped me a lot! My first reaction was that something big happened, because I promised him that if there was something I really needed, I could find me at any time.
Unexpectedly, Lei Jun walked up to me, handed me a transfer order, and said with a smile:
"Captain Staff, right? Let me introduce myself. I am Colonel Lei Jun, the new captain of the Thunder Brigade. This is my transfer order. I have worked hard for the formation of the brigade during this period. The political commissar has not yet been in place. On behalf of the brigade party committee, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your work during this period!"
I heard it right! If I remember correctly, when I went to the military academy, Lei Jun's actual military rank was already a colonel. According to the speed of the Shadow Group's promotion, if he is not a major general now, he is at least a colonel. And aren't their positions in the army all blindly? Why did his superiors suddenly appoint him as the captain of the Thunder Brigade? The importance of this position is beyond doubt. Is such an important position given to someone who is not in charge of his position? There are so many things in the Shadow Group, and I won't believe that Lei Jun will have much energy to deal with the work affairs of the brigade!
However, no matter how surprised I was, I took the order as usual, glanced casually and gave it to him. Lei Jun sat down on the sofa next to him and said with a smile:
"I think you must have many questions, ask!"
I smiled embarrassedly and said:
"I have thought about countless possibilities, but I never thought that you would come over to be this team leader..."
Speaking of this, I suddenly felt that saying this might cause misunderstandings, and I quickly explained:
"Don't get me wrong. I didn't say you don't have this ability. I... I mean, don't you have something more important to do? How could you come to our Thunder Team so much?"
Lei Jun smiled and said:
"You don't need to explain. I know. Let me tell you the truth. The reason is actually very simple. First, I haven't been very busy recently, and I usually leave the daily affairs of the team to the deputy to train young people. Second, that's what the organization means. Deputy General Zhong values you very much. The position of the captain of the Thunder Brigade has always been reserved for you. At the beginning of the establishment of the brigade, I came to help you and take you. When the time is right, I will retire. Do you understand?"
I'm not a fool. Of course, I understand Mr. Zhong's intention when he said this. I'm far from the time to adjust the team. I've gone too fast in the early stage. I often gossip on the level of excuses, and I'm often too late to gossip, but my foundation is not stable. Moreover, the Thunder Brigade is an extremely important unit. Mr. Zhong may not be assured to put all the burden on me at once, so he asked Lei Jun, who he trusted the most, to help.
Of course, the most important point is: Lei Jun, as the leader of the shadow group, is a high-quality talent. Although the new equipment of the army has not been equipped with the entire army, the shadow group has taken the lead in enjoying the results. In terms of the application of these equipment, Lei Jun is undoubtedly an expert. After thinking it through, I couldn't help but admire the arrangements of the superior leader.
As I thought about it, a knowing smile appeared on my face. I reached out and said:
"Welcome to you, Captain Lei!"
Lei Jun smiled and shook my hand. Everyone was smart, so there was no need to say much more.
After the greetings, I said:
"Captain, let me report to you about my work during this period!"
Lei Jun waved his hand and said:
"No hurry to do this, hehe, anyway, at most one year, the Thunder Brigade will still hand it over to you. In fact, what I am more interested in now is the plan you told me last time. How are you preparing now?"
I was stunned for a moment and immediately said understandably:
"No problem, team leader, Longteng's plan will soon enter the implementation stage. I have no problem... But it may be after this period of time, and you have also seen that everything here is in the initial stage. I can't spend any energy on other things anymore!"
Lei Jun got my affirmative answer and said happily:
"It doesn't matter. After the work of the Thunder Brigade is on track, we will study the implementation plan in detail. Now, Chief of Staff, you can talk about the brigade's affairs!"
I smiled bitterly and began to report some of our recent work to Lei Jun one by one. In terms of infrastructure construction, it was not like I thought at the time. Our entire Thunder Brigade camp was designed by the Nanjing Military Region Design Institute. A few months ago, they conducted on-site inspections and measurements several times. All the construction drawings in the hands of the Armed Police Engineering Corps were from experts from the design institute, and they were only responsible for building according to the drawings.
Judging from the camp renderings given by the Design Institute, it is indeed a modern military camp after completion. Both the training facilities and living security facilities are absolutely first-class. What satisfied me the most and also the headache for Captain Lu Yuntian is that there is a modern combat readiness tunnel in the design plan, which is expected to be built into our wartime command center. The protection capacity of the tunnel is actually to resist the attacks of conventional missiles. From Lu Yuntian's bitter face, you can tell how large the construction project of this tunnel is.
In addition, a series of advanced training venues including an indoor comprehensive shooting range, a simulator training ground for crossing the sea, a high-level tactical training ground, etc. are also under construction. The beautiful barracks in the renderings are built against the mountain. The beautiful appearance of the buildings alone makes Lu Yuntian envious, and the luxurious facilities inside make people dare not connect this place with the military camp. This also reflects the change in the thinking of the superiors. They must not only work hard but also pay attention to science. Everything here is for the best training results in the future.
In other aspects, I usually contact me personally, such as power supply, water supply, military optical cable installation, communication support and other issues. I have to do everything myself. I have the instructions of the superior leader, and the relevant departments have also received instructions from the superior, so they all cooperate with my work. The cadres under my command are generally responsible for the specific operation and implementation.
I talked for an hour before I finished reporting on my recent work. Lei Jun said after hearing this:
"Very good, Changfeng, thank you for your hard work, and in the future, you can be more relaxed!"
He was right. After Lei Jun reported to the brigade, the political commissar and deputy captain of the brigade - the brigade had two deputy captains. Commander Zhu was temporarily in charge of the acting brigade's position as the director of the political department, the logistics department director and others were also in place one by one. In this way, the brigade's leadership agency was established, and the division of labor of each leader was clear, and my pressure was greatly reduced. Sometimes I could even take a break from my busy schedule and gather with Xiaoying in a small way. The girl was not satisfied with it for a long time and said that it was better than me in Xiamen because when I was in Xiamen, I often called her, but after returning to Fuzhou, I still couldn't meet. And sometimes I didn't have time to call the phone...
It is easy to do things with money. After the funds are in place, the brigade's station changed almost every day. The armed police engineers of a detachment worked overtime, the building grew taller every day, and the construction of the tunnel was also progressing steadily. Our brigade's party committee also put the allocation of personnel on the agenda. On that day, we held an enlarged meeting of the party committee.
Li Hongda, the political commissar of the brigade, is a colonel in his forties. He has a national face and a dark face. He is 1.8 meters tall. He doesn't look like a political worker no matter how he speaks. However, his tone is very kind. He looked around the venue, cleared his throat, and said:
"Everyone, today is the first party committee meeting since the founding of the brigade. Responsible persons from various business departments also attended the meeting. First of all, on behalf of the brigade Party Committee, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for their hard work during this period! We are the first batch of cadres of the brigade and the pioneers of the reform and construction of our army in the new era. There will always be everyone's place in the honor room of the brigade!"
Speaking of this, the participants couldn't help but feel excited and applauded enthusiastically!
Li Hongda paused and continued:
"At the beginning of the establishment of the brigade, there was a lot of work waiting for us to do. The superiors asked our brigade to form combat effectiveness within one year. This is a arduous task! Well, I think everyone is very clear about the importance of the preliminary work. I won't talk about it more here. Let's move on today's first agenda..."
The main topic we are discussing is the standard for the selection of brigade cadres. In fact, everyone knows that education and honors cannot represent anything. These things are easy for some people to have. We will never allow the Thunder Brigade to become a place where a few people are gilded. We require that the people coming in are elites among the elites.
So after discussion, we decided to propose to our superiors that cadres must have bachelor degree or above and have more than two years of experience in serving at the grassroots level. The standards for soldiers who are promoted can be appropriately relaxed, and there should be many excellent talents among them. At the same time, the most important thing is that we hope that our superiors can allocate three times the personnel to allow us to choose from in actual work and gradually eliminate them. In other words, the elimination rate of the Thunder Brigade should be more than two-thirds. At the same time, we also said that the brigade leaders and ordinary cadres should be the same standard, and if they cannot meet the same standard, they will resign from their superiors!
Lei Jun has the most say in the issue of digital equipment, so after he spoke for an hour, everyone basically had no objection to his plan. I was trained by shadow group and I also had a certain understanding of many equipment. After listening to Lei Jun's plan, I knew that even the most picky people could not find any major problems with this plan. These equipment was simply tailor-made for the Thunder Brigade.
Sure enough, the superiors quickly approved our request and agreed to our plan in principle. They made certain modifications in details. Soon, a military-wide personnel selection began, and the construction of our brigade was also carried out. According to the information feedback from the superiors, our equipment will gradually be in place.
A month later, the cadres and soldiers of the brigade reported one after another, and the soldiers' candidates were also selected from the best within the military region. The construction of the garrison was still in progress. Fortunately, several old buildings have not been demolished yet, so the soldiers' dormitory was temporarily arranged there, and our preliminary training began, but several training grounds have not been completed, so we can only conduct simple training.
Even so, I, the chief of staff, was exhausted, and I was surprised to find that there were a few cadres who could not even complete the armed off-road in 10,000 meters. There was no doubt that this was the young master from which family wanted to come to our brigade to gilt. Naturally, I mercilessly eliminated such people. Therefore, before the infrastructure construction was completed, our brigade had already begun to implement the cruel last-place elimination system.
Three months later, the basic facilities have been completed. In addition to the troublesome construction of the tunnel, the other buildings and training grounds have been basically completed. The establishment meeting of our Thunder Brigade was also grandly held in Fuzhou.
It was already a severe winter season. The newly completed auditorium was filled with welcome songs. The soldiers of the brigade were sitting neatly, and the singing voices resounded throughout the auditorium. At this time, our brigade's lineup was huge, saying it was a regiment. In fact, our personnel could form two ordinary infantry regiments, not to mention that our superiors agreed to our personnel selection plan, so at this time the people in the auditorium were twice as good as our brigade's normal organization. If it weren't for the elimination of a group in the past three months, this number would have been even larger.
The leaders who attended the founding meeting entered the venue one after another, and everyone's singing stopped immediately. The auditorium that was still busy just now was silent, showing the good sense of discipline of our brigade officers and soldiers. I looked at the rostrum with the star shining stars. Mr. Zhong sat in the middle of the rostrum as the representative of the headquarters, as well as the leaders of the Nanjing Military Region, the leaders of the xx Army, and the main leaders of Fuzhou City.
Chapter completed!
