The convoy is finally here! Twelve colonel-level officers dressed in army uniforms stepped out of the car one after another, accompanied by Director Yan of the Air Force Propaganda Department of the Military Region and Director Xia of the Division's Political Department.

Seeing Tian Wenjian standing by the door with a calm expression, Director Xia nodded with satisfaction, then leaned sideways, let everyone look away, and introduced with a smile: "Leaders, this is Comrade Tian Wenjian, the only college student recruit in our division in 97. ”

"Hello chief, welcome to our hospital to inspect the work!" Tian Wenjian hurriedly stepped forward and gave everyone a standard military salute, and a colonel officer looked Tian Wenjian up and down, and couldn't help but quip: "The military branch committee, the dean of the army, Comrade Tian Wenjian...... You're not simple. When I was in my third year as a soldier, I was still washing the socks of the squad leader! ”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and a short colonel stepped forward, patted Dean Xiatian's arm heavily, and smiled at Director Xia: "This physique looks like a soldier, and the most rare thing is culture." Director Xia, you empty D masters have really picked up a treasure. ”

Without waiting for Director Xia to speak, Director Yan pretended to be serious and reminded: "Deputy Director Wu, I have to say something in front, you can watch and talk, but you must not dig into our wall." Dongkong only recruited a total of 42 college recruits last year, is it easy for us? ”

The short colonel was amused, and pointed at Director Yan and scolded with a smile: "Small belly chicken intestines, small belly chicken intestines!" ”

Seeing that there were dozens of local people gathered across the road, pointing and looking this way, Director Xia hurriedly smiled and said, "Leaders, do you want President Xiao Tian to invite you to visit his hospital?" ”

The colonel, who had been a soldier for three years and was still washing the socks of the squad leader, was obviously the leader of the research team. As soon as Director Xia's words fell, he said with a smile: "There's no need to visit, let's find a place to talk." ”

Tian Wenjian hurriedly moved his body away, pointed in the direction of the hall, and said with a smile on his face: "Chiefs, please come inside." ”

As President Tian expected, as soon as the members of the research team walked into the hall, they entered each department to conduct research according to the list provided by Director Xia and accompanied by the officers of the Political Department of the division. Of course, today's protagonist, Dean Tian, will not be an exception, and was personally sent to the surgical duty room by Director Xia to be interrogated by the leaders inside.

The treatment is different, and the people who want to talk to yourself are the sock washing leader and the short colonel! Tian Wenjian hurriedly stood up and saluted again, and shouted loudly: "Tian Wenjian, a soldier of the Longjiang Field Station Health Team of the D Division of the Air Force, has come to report for duty, please give instructions from the chief!" ”

"Dean Oda, don't be nervous." The sock washer pointed to the chair across the desk and said with a smile on his face, "Sit down, let's talk casually." ”

"Yes!"

Tian Wenjian took off his big-brimmed hat, carefully pulled out the chair, and sat straight in front of the two.

The short colonel took out a stack of materials provided by the division's political department from his briefcase, put them in front of Tian Wenjian, and said very seriously: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, as far as I know, you are an old party member with seven years of party experience. You first look at the material, and then tell us if it's true as an old party member. ”

It seems that it is much stricter for the troops to set up a positive model than in the locality, and after the dean Tian sighed secretly, he immediately picked up the material and looked at it carefully. The content is the one that Chief Gu talked about last night, and there are basically no discrepancies. Despite this, Tian Wenjian still watched it very carefully. Because he knew that the sock leader and the short man on the correction observed his expression. If it were ordinary people, they would not need to investigate at all, and they would be able to see the clues from their expressions.

The material is very thick, nearly a hundred pages. More than ten minutes passed, and I only finished reading more than 30 pages. Dean Tian didn't think that the two in front of him could investigate the health team for half a day, if they just sat like this, then the big thing planned by Captain Hewen would be in vain. What's the use of being in a hurry? I have to bite the bullet and pretend to be attentive to look at it.

Except for the sound of the two leaders smoking cigarettes and lighting a fire, there was silence in the duty room. Director Xia and Director Yan of the Air Force Propaganda Department of the Military Region were so anxious outside that they were afraid that Dean Tian would not be able to withstand this invisible pressure. After all, the two inside are notoriously difficult, and if they are not careful, they will see the flaws.

"Is it true?" Just after twenty minutes, the short colonel broke the silence in the duty room, tapped the table, and asked with unusual seriousness.

Tian Wenjian stood up suddenly, with a frank expression on his face, and replied categorically: "Chief of the report, except for a slight exaggeration of my personal description, the other parts are completely true. ”

"Which parts are slightly exaggerated?" The sock colonel held his chin, stared at Tian Wenjian's eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Report to the chief, this dedication to national defense is a bit exaggerated. In fact, I was only going to be a soldier for a few years, and I never thought of working in the army for the rest of my life. Tian Wenjian cleared his throat and continued: "Speaking from the heart, the major I studied has little effect on the construction of the army, and my surname is not suitable for staying in the army, so ...... So...... So I want to leave the army and go home to start my own business after the conscription is over. ”

The sock washing colonel became interested, raised his hand to signal Tian Wenjian to sit down, and asked in a gentle voice: "The military branch committee, the dean of the soldiers, aren't you doing a good job?" Could it be that you can become an officer with a secondary school degree, but you, a college student with a bachelor's degree, can only be a soldier, and you feel a little psychologically unbalanced? ”

After taking a deep breath, Dean Tian said eloquently: "If you want to say that you don't have any ideas at all...... That's fake. But I understand more that it is the trend of the times for college students to join the army, and it is unobjective and unrealistic for all college students to join the army to become officers. As a veteran party member, I have this awareness. ”

"Then why don't you want to stay in the troop commander?" The short colonel couldn't help but ask.

"Because I like to tell the truth!"

This sentence surprised the two, and the leader of the sock washing asked even more seriously: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, do you think or you find that there is a phenomenon of lying in the empty D division?" ”

Tian Wenjian stood up suddenly, with a righteous expression, and replied sonorously: "Report to the chief, not only the Air Force D Division, but the entire army is telling lies and doing false things!" I don't know if I didn't join the army, but after joining the army, I found that the leaders had lost the courage to tell the truth. ”

The short colonel grabbed the pen and paper, and said with a grim face, "Be specific." ”

"As a modern soldier, you should read and think, think backwards, and dare to say no. Dare to say that you will not be disobeying orders and not obeying commands, but it is better to obey orders and listen to commands. After a pause, Tian Wenjian continued: "Lenin said a long time ago: Carrying out the intentions of the superiors to the letter is the best passive sabotage.

In the early days of liberation, it was said that our party should raise a group of people who dare to think wildly. Director of the Liaison Department of your Ministry...... That is, the son of Y Shuai, the first to raise his hand and say, 'I'll sign up!' The RAND Corporation of the United States has a well-known purpose: "protect the strange theory", and the strange theory often becomes the truth after a period of time. ”

Did Lenin say that? Has Minister Yue registered? The two leaders were stunned, and after thinking for a long time, they didn't come up with a reason.

Looking at the two of them looking at each other, Tian Wenjian realized that he had succeeded halfway, so he continued: "What kind of unit is the health team, the two leaders should know better than me. It should be an important logistical unit that connects up and down and connects localities and can solve some major problems.

But in fact? Not to mention that major problems cannot be solved, there is nothing that can be done about some small problems. Both officers and soldiers call us quacks and veterinarians! It is said that we can't see major illnesses, and we can't see minor illnesses'. As a matter of fact, they are not wrong, except for pilots and leading cadres at and above the regimental level, it is indeed difficult for ordinary officers and men to see a doctor, and it is even more difficult for them to take medicine. ”

As Tian Wenjian said to Captain Wen last night, there is a common surname in this phenomenon. The two leaders were not ignorant of this, but they still asked expressionlessly: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, can you analyze the reason?" ”

"Of course!"

Tian Wenjian took a look at his thoughts and reported with a serious face: "First of all, it is the objective limitation of medical conditions. We do have X-ray machines, B-ultrasound machines, dental treatment machines, and the most basic blood test equipment. But the equipment is too old, too old, or even damaged. Or there is no corresponding staff, resulting in idle waste of resources. The corresponding outpatient doctors can only use stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors and thermometers to monitor the most basic vital signs.

Secondly, the overall quality of doctors is not good, the level of professional surnames is not high, and the training and re-education efforts are not strong. Our inspectors are all volunteers who have undergone short-term training as hygienists. And the lack of training in the troops, one can imagine their level of testing.

The most important thing is that most of our military doctors' education level is limited to the university and technical secondary school level, and there is only one doctor with a bachelor's degree or above, and there is only one doctor in the whole health team. In this special system of the army, they not only lack training, but also have little contact and communication with the outside world. To put it mildly, they don't even have the level of medical care of a barefoot doctor. ”

Dean Tian's implication is very clear, that is, the empty D master has raised dozens of wastes and idlers. Raising some idlers in the local area is just a waste of financial resources, but if such a thing happens in an emergency mobile combat unit, it is a crime! This crime is not as blatant and palpable as corruption[***], and as long as there is no war, it is not only secretive but also overt, as it should be.

This is a problem that the head of the headquarters and even the head of the Military Commission should consider, and after the short man sighed, he said with a wry smile: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, you see that the problem is very profound. But this also shows another problem, that is, you are not a good dean. ”

"yes!"

Tian Wenjian nodded heavily and said solemnly: "It is precisely because of this that I have made up my mind to use the short period of compulsory military service to build the outpatient clinic and make it a veritable hospital." ”

There are two kinds of truth-tellers, one who just talks but doesn't do it, and the other who doesn't just say it. Obviously, the leader in front of him who belonged to the latter, the leader of the sock washing nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Dean Oda, there are so many difficulties, you can't just be determined to build the hospital." ”

"Chief, we're not just talking and not practicing." Dean Tian completely let go, waved his arms, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "With the support of the leaders of the division station, we have won the physical examination obligation of more than 90,000 candidates in Longjiang. In general, it is to engage in military-civilian joint construction and strengthen military-civilian relations; To put it mildly, it has reduced the physical examination fee of more than one million yuan for Longjiang candidates; But for us, we not only raised more than 2 million yuan of valuable funds for the hospital, but also used this opportunity to train the team, especially X-ray, blood, fecal and other technical tests. ”

"Kill four birds with one stone, this thing is well done." The short colonel smiled and couldn't help but praise it.

Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, and continued: "But this kind of thing can only be done once, and local medical institutions will inevitably have opinions if they do it like this." At the same time, making money is not our ultimate goal, what we want is to improve medical technology and be able to truly carry out medical security tasks. ”

"You're in a clear mind! We know which is more important and we know that we should maintain military-civilian relations. The leader of the sock washing nodded with satisfaction, saw that Dean Tian's fingers were also yellow, handed over a cigarette, and continued: "It seems that you are also a smoker, smoke...... Let's talk as we smoke. ”

Speaking of which, Dean Tian was not polite, lit a cigarette with a big grin, took a deep breath, and said in a foggy voice: "Two leaders, doctors are a profession that requires continuous learning and continuous exercise. Our doctors are in the military academy after finishing their work, washing and grabbing positions, housekeeping first, and abandoning their studies. After leaving the army, I didn't have the opportunity to exercise, and even if I could meet the good thing of further study, I couldn't learn anything in just a few months.

And I can't let them all go to further study, otherwise I, the dean, will become the commander of the light pole. It is based on these considerations that we decided to take out all the two million to invite the master and learn the skills. But this is facing two problems, one is that even if the master comes back, there is no patient and the team cannot be trained; Second, the medical equipment and instruments are too old and lacking, and if this problem is not solved, the purpose of training the team will not be achieved.

After some discussion and research, we finally solved the problem of the source of the disease. As for the master with superb medical skills, as long as we show enough sincerity, there should be no big problem. Two million seems like a lot, but for us who are poor and white, it is a drop in the bucket. It is only enough to pay the wages of the masters, but cannot solve the problem of equipment and instruments. ”

The leader of the sock washing suddenly reacted, pointed at Tian Wenjian's nose and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really not an ordinary ghost, you actually ambushed me here." Dean Oda, we are the Political Department, not the Logistics Department, and we can't solve your problem, so you should find another way. ”

"Chief, you are a big leader from the headquarters, and you have to solve some practical problems for us no matter what." Dean Tian fished his head in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Our requirements are not high, as long as we can be given some instruments and equipment." No, no, no, not a requirement...... It's a request, it's not right...... It's a plea...... It's a pleading! ”

The short colonel was happy, and slammed it on the chest of Dean Tian, and scolded with a smile: "What a request, pleading, begging, I think you kid is a muddy ball!" ”

Tian Wenjian took out a list from his pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Chief, even if you can't solve the problem for us, you can always help us reflect the problem." The Air Force D Division is an emergency mobile unit, and our Air Force Hospital also has to respond to emergency mobility, please. ”

"Do you division commander and political commissar know about this?" The short colonel glanced at the list and asked lightly.

Dean Tian looked behind him nervously, and then said with a look in his face: "How can they know about this, if they know that I have exposed the old bottom, they will have to peel my skin." ”

"Then you still do it!"

The short colonel glared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Unorganized, undisciplined, where do you look like an old party member?" ”

"But organization and discipline won't solve the problem."

Dean Tian didn't accept this, looked at the two of them with anticipation, and said pitifully: "If there is a little hope, can we take a risk?" Two leaders, for the sake of the party-state, please pull our Air Force Hospital. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" The socks washing leader's intestines were about to be broken, but he still said with a smile: "Since you trust us so much, then we will help you reflect it." However, this is not a problem that you have, so don't get your hopes up. ”

"Thank you, thank you for your concern!"

Dean Tian was ecstatic for a while, and hurriedly "snapped" and stood upright, first saluted a standard military salute, and then came with a 90-degree bow.

There were so few and so few soldiers that the two of them couldn't help laughing. After the short colonel finished laughing, he said with satisfaction while packing up the materials provided by the propaganda section: "Tell the truth and do practical things...... He's a good soldier, and it looks like our trip wasn't in vain. ”

"It's true to tell the truth and do practical things, but this good soldier doesn't dare to be it." After Dean Tian was ashamed to boast about himself, he said stupidly: "My two leaders know it clearly, but I don't even know what your two surnames are, it's not fair!" ”

"You're thinking about that, aren't you?" The leader of the sock washing raised the list in his hand and quipped: "What our surname is must be kept strictly secret, in case you let the kid get entangled, it will be troublesome." ”

The conversation ended in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, and as soon as the short leader walked to the door with his briefcase, he looked at Dean Tian with sympathetic eyes, and smiled gloatingly: "I have to talk to your division commander and political commissar about this, and you kid is waiting to be skinned." ”

Dean Tian opened the door and sent the two out of the room, while saying with a smile: "As long as the thing can be done, I am willing to pick up the three layers of skin." Two leaders, I am now silent and tearful, waiting until the spring breeze spreads the good news. ”

What mess? The leader of washing socks was happy, and couldn't help but turn around, and asked with a smile: "Tian Wenjian, do you want to change to a better unit?" ”

Seeing that the mood of the two ministers was very high, Director Yan and Director Xia, who had been waiting for more than an hour, finally fell on the stone in their hearts, and Director Yan even quipped: "Deputy Director Xu, we have words first, why did you forget it so quickly?" ”

"A very interesting soldier." Deputy Director Xu glanced at Tian Wenjian, and then smiled meaningfully: "But be bolder, you two have to be careful in the future." ”
