Chapter 109: A dilemma
China's airborne troops are mainly the 43rd, 44th, and 45th divisions of the 15th Air Force Army, with a total strength of about 60,000 troops.
The Airborne Forces are mainly based on the Air Force, but there are also a small number of Army Special Forces that have Airborne Forces.
The role of the Airborne Forces is to land in the air, perform infiltration, demolition, anti-terrorism, rescue and other tasks.
The role of the Airborne Forces in modern warfare is very important, and the air forces and special forces of the military forces of various countries around the world attach considerable importance to the Airborne Forces. Because the airborne forces can ignore the terrain and project troops in all directions and around the clock, while the army and navy are quite limited in their tasks because of the barrier of terrain and sea areas, the airborne forces have an incomparable advantage over the army and navy.
The first appearance of the Airborne Forces in history was the First World War, when the world's first paratrooper unit was formed by the former Soviet Air Force. Thereafter, in World War I and World War II, both the Allies and the Axis made heavy use of airborne troops.
The first destination of Zheng Qian and the others was the location of the 43rd Division of the 15 th Air Force Base.
There are more than 10,000 people here, a total of six regiments, each regiment has three main battalions, as well as support battalions, etc., the whole regiment has a total of 20 to 22 companies, and the normal establishment is more than 2,000 people, of course, there are reinforced regiments, and the number is even more.
The subordinate units of the Air Politics Art Troupe had to tour the 43rd, 44th, and 45th divisions, and rotate continuously, but the performance time was from afternoon to evening, so the time was not too urgent.
The leader is Cui Zhengyi, deputy head of the Air Politics Art Troupe, 45 years old, a famous military singer, who has served as the main actor in the national and military-wide large-scale theatrical evenings for many times, and belongs to the professional and technical fifth-level civilian cadres, and the singer Han Hong in the previous life is at the same level, enjoying the treatment of deputy division, and has a great say in the industry.
In front of the temporary hotel, Cui Zhengyi held a collective meeting before entering the camp, especially named Zheng Qian and Zhang Guoran, who had just joined the regiment, and told them to obey military discipline and obey the command.
Zhang Guoran was also recruited from the stage of "Singer" to join the troupe, but in comparison, Zheng Qian's popularity and strength attracted the attention of the old people in the troupe.
And Zhang Guoran does not have this treatment, but he is not discouraged, it is a great luck to be able to enter the art troupe and become a civilian cadre, and he also has self-knowledge, and Zheng Qian is really incomparable, not to mention his terrifying creative ability, just a beautiful high voice, it is extremely rare in the entire music world, this kind of voice is a valuable asset in the music world, and it is natural for the leaders to take care of it.
And in Zhang Guoran's view, the future Zheng Qian has the opportunity to have a place in the Air Politics Art Troupe, and it is even impossible to achieve the position of deputy head like Cui Zhengyi.
However, there are many uncertainties in the future, such as the status of civilian cadres, although it can bring them great protection, but with the tightening of discipline, it will also bring too many unnecessary constraints to these artists.
If it is only for domestic development, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, but if they go international in the future, this identity will definitely make them eat countless closed doors.
Of course, no one can say for sure what the future holds.
At least at the moment, some popular actors are unwilling to let go of their status as civilian cadres even if they earn tens of millions of dollars a year.
At this time, Cui Zhengyi, deputy head of the regiment, named Zheng Qian in public: "The song "When That Day Comes" created by Comrade Zheng Qian has been approved to become this year's naval, land and air conscription song, everyone applauds!"
Many people at the scene had heard about it, so they all wanted Zheng Qian to say goodbye.
These are all resumes that can be written on personal information, especially for civilian cadres, and they are also an important reference standard for job promotion.
"Yes, the chiefs like this song very much, Zheng Qian, the relevant commendation will be issued soon, you just wait for the good news to come!"
Cui Zhengyi said with a smile, "Also, the song "We Are Soldiers" is also very good, it praises the value of soldiers in peacetime, and sings the heroic voice of soldiers in the new era, the regiment commander said, the General Political Department doesn't want this song, it's their loss, this song is our air politics, this is a real soldier's song, it will be promoted in our air force units, and the relevant internal commendation will be issued soon, and I will let Officer Yang inform you when the time comes!"
The cadres at the scene immediately applauded, and some young cadres were full of envy.
A song like this promoted in the army has a chance to be featured in the party newspaper and party journal, which is another important stroke for his personal resume, and it is very likely that Zheng Qian will be promoted in advance.
Zheng Qian perked up and hurriedly thanked him.
Next, Cui Zhengyi began to arrange the work schedule, Zheng Qian, Zhang Guoran, Zhang Aimin and other nine people as a group, began to go to the 43rd Division, starting from 3 o'clock in the afternoon to 6 o'clock in the evening, lasting three hours, tossing and turning four camps for condolence performances, each camp has two or three thousand people.
Prior to this, everyone was also arranged to settle in the barracks dormitory, the sheets and bedding were all brand new, and the arrangements were all single rooms, which seemed to be very valued, and the army also specially arranged a few squad leaders to come over to teach Zheng Qian and others to fold the bedding.
It took a while for everyone to settle down.
At noon, Zheng Qian and others followed the army to the canteen to eat, and on the way, Zhang Aimin saw Zheng Qian and Zhang Guoran looking around, full of excitement and curiosity, so he began to teach earnestly.
"Don't feel very relaxed, like this kind of big festival performance, we have a chance to rehearse. ”
Zhang Aimin was dressed in a military uniform and leather shoes, led Zheng Qian to the canteen with his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and said: "Usually when we go to the grassroots level to perform, we basically receive orders the night before, and we have to leave immediately the next day, and there is no opportunity to rehearse at all, so many of the wrists who are mixed up outside have already left the team, because there will always be a conflict between the business exercises in the outside world and the tasks in the army. ”
Another female cadre who is also a female cadre of the Air Politics Art Troupe heard this, and also nodded and said: "That's true, those of us who are not famous are just that, like Sister Hong, she missed a lot because she was in the Art Troupe, I still remember one year during the Spring Festival, Sister Hong was arranged by her company for a commercial performance, and the performer has prepared all the materials such as props, big screens, and costumes, but on the eve of the performance, Sister Hong temporarily received an urgent task from the army, and had no choice but to give up the commercial performance, because of this incident, Sister Hong had to bear the loss of the performer at that time. ”
Zhang Aimin sighed: "You said that others spent money and effort to put on performances, betting on you, and if you don't go, you won't go, which is good, not to mention losing money, and smashing your own signboard......"
Zheng Qian was thoughtful, he really didn't think seriously about this, but subconsciously, he might make the same choice as Sister Hong, after all, wearing a real military uniform, the task of the army is of course the most important.
"Especially Zheng Qian, you are now on the limelight, and I'm sure that the upper authorities will pay special attention to you. ”
Zhang Aimin looked at Zheng Qian and admonished: "I know that Wei Yehong takes good care of you and rarely assigns you tasks, but when your level becomes higher and higher, and your fame grows, the voice of the army about you will also increase, and when the time comes, the organization will arrange an emergency performance task for you, will you accept it or not?"
"If you accept it, you may face hundreds of thousands of breach of contract claims from the commercial performance partner, and if you don't accept it, you will disobey the organizational arrangement......"
