Chapter 41: New Tasks
Chapter 41 New Mission
The family members left, took away their longing for their son and their sadness.
These families who come from afar may not be able to visit this border area of the motherland in person every year and see their relatives with their own eyes, while the martyrs will always stay in this land where they once fought. This is the hero without regrets.
When Li Siming and his team members disappeared at the end of the road while riding in the car of their families, they reluctantly returned to the camp. Li Siming's expectant father-in-law, Chief Yang, was already sitting in his office waiting for him.
Li Siming walked into the office with his head down, not noticing that there was one more person in the office.
"All left?" Chief Yang waited patiently for a long time before asking.
"Oh, Chief... OK, we're all leaving!" Li Siming realized that there was one more person in the office.
"I have sent people to deal with the families of the Wolf Teeth Team members separately. Those who have actual difficulties will be handled and taken care of by the local civil affairs forces. Don't worry, this." Chief Yang comforted.
"Thank you, Chief!" Li Siming said.
"I heard that there are many people looking for you recently?" Chief Yang asked. He was talking about the fact that the military regions were called visits and actually lobbyists.
"yes!"
"What do you think?"
"I have no idea to report to the chief, and the soldiers are obeying orders." Li Siming replied.
"I know, you have personal opinions. Should you use your time, regardless of your life or death, and let you go to the battlefield. Now that the task is done, I will still hold on to you." Chief Yang said.
"No!" Li Siming replied.
"You are a talent, and I know this more than anyone else. But do you know? There is a debate about whether you should go to the battlefield. Your books have been read now, and everyone knows that the army needs to be reformed. As early as 1975, Chief No. 1 used the five words "swelling, scattered, arrogant, extravagant, and lazy" to describe our army. This is a matter of fact. But the matter here is too complicated and involves too many benefits in all aspects, so..."
"So you asked me to join the war to verify the necessity of the establishment of special forces? And then prove the correctness of my books? Do you think Langya's combat experience is really that great?" Li Siming asked back.
"Don't be excited, it at least proves that the establishment of special forces is necessary, and the organization and military service of our army should make some necessary changes. But unfortunately, the problems exposed in this war can be found in your books!"
"I'm very honored!" Li Siming said.
"Look at this meeting minutes!" Chief Yang took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Li Siming.
"What is this?" Li Siming asked.
"This is a preliminary summary and reflection on this war, and you can also regard it as the beginning of military reform. This is what Chief No. 1 specifically asked me to show you, and I want to know your opinions!" Chief Yang explained.
"I am just a battalion-level officer. Is it necessary?" Li Siming said.
"You will soon be no small battalion-level officer. The No. 1 commander will not overestimate you, but you should not underestimate your value too much!"
"Okay. I need time to think!" Li Siming said.
"Comrade Li Siming, this is a new order, an order issued by the General Staff! It has been issued to various military regions, air force, navy and other major military region-level units." Chief Yang threw out another document and said seriously.
The new order says that the Wolf Teeth Special Forces will be officially established and will not be affiliated with any military region, but will assume the important task of cultivating special forces for each military region for some time in the future, which is the same as Li Siming's idea.
"Some time ago, there were many people sent by the military regions to contact you, right? Humph, they only used their own small abacus, instead of considering the overall situation of the entire army, and competed for each other for the Wolf Teeth Special Forces. When the Wolf Teeth Special Forces was established, they didn't speak, but now they see the benefits, so they all come to grab them." Chief Yang complained, and his words also contained a sense of pride.
"Please rest assured, the leader, my team members and I will complete the task resolutely." Li Siming stood at attention and promised.
"Okay, now the business is over, let's talk about private matters!" Chief Yang said with a smile.
"Private affairs?" Li Siming was a little overwhelmed by the change in Chief Yang's expression.
"Yes, for our Xiaoyue's sake, can't you drink the water?"
"Oh, yes, yes, orderly! Give tea to the chief!" Li Siming then remembered that he had been resentful just now, and forgot that the chief he was facing was his father-in-law. The orderly soldier was not smart, so he asked the chief to sit here.
The orderly trotted and came to serve tea.
"What are your plans in the future?" asked the father-in-law.
"Plan? Isn't it training?" Li Siming asked strangely.
"I'm talking about you personally. You won't always stay in the army, right? I remember you told me before that you don't want to stay in the army. Besides, being outside the army may be able to better play your value." said the expectant father-in-law.
"That's a matter in the future. After the next batch of special forces members are trained, I will apply for demobilization."
"In fact, when you are injured and unconscious, many people care about you. If you sacrifice or really can't wake up forever, I think many people will feel guilty for the rest of their lives. Xiaoyue, our family, will also blame me for the rest of their lives!" The expectant father-in-law sighed. He did not mention who cares about him, but Li Siming could guess who it was. The expectant father-in-law took out a cowhide envelope and threw it to Li Siming. Li Siming opened it and saw that it was full of money.
"Take it, your money has been emptied recently. You have even emptied Xiaoyue's private money. I'll give it to you, so please accept it. All the soldiers are poor, and all the ones that deserve to be paid back!" said the expectant father-in-law with a smile.
"Thank you uncle!" Li Siming said embarrassedly.
"Since the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, all walks of life in the country have been reforming, and the army also needs to reform, but the army cannot compete with the local area. And the same is true for you, your local area is far more valuable than your military, so you have to be patient. In the future, when you arrive at the local area, the country will give you the support within your ability! This is the guarantee of Chief No. 1, and it can be regarded as compensation for you. Are you satisfied now?" said the expectant father-in-law.
"Thank you, Chief!" Li Siming said excitedly.
"Don't be too happy too early. I won't agree to you if I train well!" the expectant father-in-law cursed.
...
Chief Yang patted his butt, got into the jeep and left, leaving behind a lot of tasks for Li Siming, but Li Siming couldn't scold him because it was his future father-in-law, so he had to complain in his heart.
"Chen Yuanchao, why are you squatting here?" Li Siming entered the military camp gate and accidentally saw Chen Yuanchao dazed in a corner from a distance. Chen Yuanchao was stood at attention by this sudden shout, and then realized that his reaction was a bit too much. Li Siming noticed that he was rushing to stuff something into his pocket.
"What are you doing?" Li Siming was a little surprised.
"No... nothing!" Chen Yuanchao replied, not very confident.
"What did you stuff into your pocket just now? I suspect it was a prohibited item, so take it out and take it out?" Li Siming said.
Chen Yuanchao evasively and slowly took out the thing he stuffed into his pocket just now. It was a photo, and Li Siming also knew the owner of the photo. It was the big-eyed nurse in the hospital where they had been staying.
"Haha!" Li Siming laughed and stuffed the photo to Chen Yuanchao who was a little embarrassed. "You're doing it quite secretly, keep going!"
Li Siming left, leaving Chen Yuanchao still in a daze.
After a long rest, Li Siming's body has recovered long ago, and it is definitely better than lying in the hospital. Therefore, people cannot be too comfortable. Once people are too comfortable, their physical functions will deteriorate. Those who should rest and settle down, and those who should visit relatives have also visited them. Now it is time to return to normal, otherwise they will become herding sheep.
One night, Li Siming convened the team members and held a team meeting. Li Siming wanted to assign future tasks:
"Comrades, let me tell you a good news. Our Wolf Teeth Special Forces has been officially approved by our superiors. Our organization will be a regiment-level unit, in other words, everyone has been promoted. But there is still a task assigned to us, that is, to add new soldiers. Just like you did at the beginning, they were all selected from various military regions and allowed us to choose!"
"Captain, how many people can we choose from the Shenyang Military Region? I'll go there, I'm familiar with it there!" Qiao Xiaolong said first. He was originally from the Shenyang Military Region.
"Qiao Xiaolong, what benefits did Deputy Commander Sun give you? I'll tell you honestly!" Li Siming said with a straight face.
"No..." Qiao Xiaolong didn't want to get away with it, but when he saw others looking at him with scrutiny, he was a little furious, "Nothing, it's just a cigarette! But I promise, I definitely didn't betray the wolf teeth!"
"I see if you contributed that cigarette, we won't pursue it!" Chang Biao said. Everyone joined in.
"Everyone comes from various military regions, do you have this kind of thought?" Li Siming looked around and found that everyone had a little bitch in his heart. "But everyone may be disappointed. This time the election was not for us. We are just responsible for training them and making them special forces, which means we are forming special forces for various military regions!"
"Ah, that's how it's. This is not a wedding dress for others!" Xu Zhiqiang said.
"That's right, I'm exhausted, and in the end I'll work for others!" He Ligong said.
"Shut up your mouth, the army belongs to your family." Li Siming cursed, "But we don't do anything too much. For this recruit, of course we can choose the best one. We can also enlarge the number of them, let's pick 100 and pick him 120. Finally, after training, we will only pay him 100. Those 20 are our hard work fee! If we don't agree, we will deduct his quota!"
"Gao, it's so high!" Qiao Xiaolong smiled as he imitated a character in the movie.
"However, I'm still a little worried about you, and they all beat Xiao Jiujiu. Let's do this, in order to prevent you from making any mistakes, you are staggering each other and are not allowed to go back to the old army to pick people." Li Siming said.
"Captain, don't be that harsh!" Chen Yuanchao sighed.
"Captain, what is the selection criteria?" Xu Zhiqiang asked.
"Of course military skills are the most important. Let me mention that it is cultural quality, preferably those who graduate from high school! Because the future special forces will never be enough for a gun, knife, salt and a compass, and there will be a large number of new weapons and equipment in the future. Moreover, this group of people is destined to be the commanders of the People's Army in the future, and it is impossible to do without culture!" Li Siming said.
"Graduated from high school?" Qiao Xiaolong opened his mouth wide and said, "Is this impossible?"
"Yes, captain, this standard is too high, right?" Xu Zhiqiang said, "Look, how many of our people graduated from high school?" He is considered a cultural person after high school. When he goes to factories and government agencies, the worst one in the countryside may be the pen of the production team. In Xu Zhiqiang's mind, Li Siming, a senior intellectual, is a special case.
"Then I graduated from junior high school. The army is not a literacy class, so it cannot be lower than this!" Li Siming also realized that his standards were a little high, and he was helpless. This was the national condition.
