Chapter 302: Commendation Conference
Chapter 302 Commendation Conference
After the celebration banquet was over, Su Pojun took Su Qiubai to his office alone, and after making sure that there was no one around, he finally said to Su Qiubai: "You kid, even your father and I look down on you!" ”
Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "It's still thanks to Zhao Yi's help, otherwise my spiritual power wouldn't be able to support it to the end." ”
Su Pojun nodded with a smile and said, "I'm also glad I agreed to your construction in the first place, otherwise we might have lost such a sharpshooter." But tell me how the hell did you two do it? Your father and I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and I dare not say that I can face hundreds of enemies alone. ”
Su Qiubai told the whole process of dealing with more than 2,000 people with Zhao Yi, and Su Pojun smacked his tongue again and again, and he was constantly fascinated when he talked about the highlights, and he couldn't wait to experience this battle with the two of them in person.
"It's worthy of being my Su Pojun's son, and he is really brave, your father and I are ashamed!" After listening to Su Qiubai's story, Su Pojun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Su Qiubai suddenly asked, "Dad, we have made a great contribution this time, right?" What rewards can I get? ”
Su Pojun glared at him and said, "Just got some achievements and thought about rewarding?" ”
Su Qiubai shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if the award rewards me or not, but Zhao Yi can follow me to complete this matter regardless of a single thing, it is really commendable, he took such a risk with me, I have to fight for something for him." ”
Su Pojun smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, if you don't fight for it, I will give it to him." It just so happens that the leader of the sniper team is about to be promoted recently, and I plan to promote the original deputy team leader to team leader, let Zhao Yi take over the position of deputy team leader, and give him a first-class merit and award him the rank of second lieutenant, which is not a low reward. ”
Su Qiubai was a little disappointed when he heard this: "It's just the deputy team leader?" He's no worse than anyone else in the sniper team, and he's very adaptable, so I think he deserves a higher reward. ”
"You don't want to make an inch, he's just a half-recruit who has been in the army for a year, if I just give him a team leader, what do you make others think? Can it convince the public? But the position of deputy team leader is still deserved, and presumably others will not have an opinion on it after knowing his deeds. Going from an ordinary soldier to an officer with the rank of deputy company is already an unprecedented reward, what else do you want? ”
Su Qiubai also knew that this kind of promotion in the army was not small, so he didn't say anything.
Su Pojun glanced at his expression, and suddenly asked, "You really don't care about what reward I will give you?" ”
Su Qiubai was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm indeed a little curious. ”
Su Pojun suddenly laughed and said, "For your actions this time, I plan to give you three first-class merits, and then give you the highest reward that you have never had in the army." ”
Su Qiubai's eyes suddenly lit up, although he didn't care about fame and fortune, he was still very interested when he heard this, so he asked, "What reward?" ”
"Freedom." Su Pojun said with a smile.
Freely? Su Qiubai didn't understand what Su Pojun meant for a while, so he asked, "Are you going to let me leave the army?" ”
Su Pojun glanced at him and said, "It's beautiful!" This battle has just begun, and you want to go? I mean, you won't have to obey anyone's orders but me, that is, you're under my direct command, and you have the highest freedom in the army except for me, and you have the highest freedom in the army besides me, isn't that a high reward? ”
Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, he finally understood what Su Pojun meant, but he didn't expect that Su Pojun, who had always been strict in governing the army, would give him such a high degree of freedom. Don't look at it, he is still just a soldier, but even the political commissar of the military region at the same level as Su Pojun can't order him, although it is not above 10,000 people under one person, but it is almost the same.
"You just believe in me like that, aren't you afraid that I'm doing anything wrong?" Su Qiubai asked in disbelief.
Su Pojun looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't forget this military region, but I have the final say, I can give you freedom, you can take it back, you dare to try it nonsense?" ”
Su Qiubai helplessly raised his forehead and said, "You are bullying people." ”
Su Pojun slapped him on the head and said, "You kid want to be beaten, right?" Why did I give you such a big reward? If you don't want it, just pull it down. ”
Su Qiubai hurriedly said: "I said to play, this reward is very suitable for me, it is more practical than letting me be an officer." ”
Su Pojun shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm your father, I don't know the little Jiujiu in your heart?" ”
"That's right, Dad." Su Qiubai suddenly said, "Is there an eyebrow about the inner ghost?" ”
Su Pojun shook his head and said: "How can it be so fast, but if I give him such a hand this time, he should also have a lot of deflated on the pirate's side, I am very curious about how he will explain to the other party." ”
Su Qiubai thought of Zheng Haoran, so he asked, "How is Zheng Hailou?" ”
Su Pojun felt a little strange when he heard him suddenly mention this person, so he replied, "Zheng Hailou? He has been in the Guardian Navy for most of his life, and he is a modest man with a very reasonable temperament, and he is a good partner in every way. What do you suddenly mention to him? ”
In fact, Su Qiubai also felt that Zheng Hailou didn't feel like a bad person, but when he thought of Zheng Haoran, he felt like a fish in his throat, so he said: "His nephew and I are in the same company, this kid is very arrogant, relying on himself to be the nephew of the chief of staff, he is powerful in the army, and he always wants to find an opportunity to harm me." When I was practicing in the sea before, my air bottle suddenly malfunctioned, if I hadn't cultivated myself, I was afraid that I would have drowned in the sea that time, although there is no evidence, but I suspect that he did it. So I think it's strange, why doesn't Staff Officer Zheng care about him? ”
Su Pojun was also a little surprised when he heard this, he was in a high position, he didn't know about these trivial things in the ordinary barracks, and when he heard Su Qiubai say this, he also felt a little strange, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Hailou has a very high reputation in the Wei Military Region, and it stands to reason that his nephew should not be allowed to be so arrogant, but as a deputy commander, he will not directly manage the affairs in the barracks, and it is impossible for the people below to come to him to complain, so it is not surprising that he does not know." ”
This was also the most reasonable explanation Su Qiubai could think of, so he nodded and did not speak.
Su Pojun nodded, didn't say anything, just said: "For this person, you pay more attention, don't be hurt by him, don't worry about the rest for the time being, if he really dares to make any excessive moves, I believe Zheng Hailou will not tolerate him." ”
In the evening of the same day, the Wei Naval Region held a commendation meeting attended by the whole army, at which Su Pojun personally awarded Zhao Yi a military merit medal of the first class and the rank of second lieutenant, and announced that he would take over as deputy leader.
Zhao Yi originally thought that it would be very good to be a non-commissioned officer for himself this time, but he didn't expect to skip the rank of non-commissioned officer and be promoted to second lieutenant, and gave him an official position, which was an unexpected joy for him, and he almost couldn't help crying when he came to the stage to confer the medal.
And when Su Pojun announced the reward for Su Qiubai, the whole army was in an uproar.
The reward he gave Su Qiubai was just a fictitious position of a general's personal guard, he didn't obey anyone's orders except him, but he couldn't order anyone, and he didn't even give him the rank of non-commissioned officer. This reward seems to be glorious, but it is only a false name, and there is no real benefit at all.
Untrue. In their opinion, the reason why Su Pojun "treated" his son so badly was to avoid suspicion, lest others say that he Su Qiubai was rewarded because he was Su Pojun's son. As a result, everyone's impression of Su Pojun has changed greatly, and they no longer think that he has gone through the back door by letting Su Qiubai join the army. Because everyone sees Su Qiubai's meritorious work this time, even if he is really given a high-level officer, most people will not have an opinion.
After announcing this, Su Pojun's expression suddenly became stern, and he said, "Gather everyone to come here today, I have another thing to tell you." It's been a year since I was transferred to the Naval District, and I have a certain understanding of many things here. I don't know if you have noticed, in the past two years, the battles between the Weihai Navy and the pirates have always lost more and won less, do you think this is reasonable? What is a pirate? A rabble! The Weihai Navy is a well-trained regular army, have you ever wondered why it has repeatedly lost to pirates who are inferior to us in terms of equipment and strength? ”
The whole army was silent for a moment, and a few people could think of the trick, but they didn't dare to say it clearly.
"As far as I know, the former General Hu Dingrong guarded the naval district for five years, and in the first four years, he had been managing the security of territorial waters very well, but in the fifth year, he suddenly couldn't suppress those pirates. Not! If you think about it again, every time you go to war, the pirates can perfectly crack your battle plan, are those pirates like gods who can anticipate the enemy's opportunities every time? Not even more! What this qiē illustrates, it goes without saying! Su Pojun paced back and forth on the stage with his hands behind his back, and slowly expressed his thoughts.
In fact, these questions are not difficult to see, but ordinary people dare not think about them, and even if they guess, they may not dare to say them. And the truth is that there are internal ghosts in our army! Su Pojun said categorically.
As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers in the audience were in an uproar again, there were spies among them? Who is so bold? What good is it for him to be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, which is directly punishable by death?
And Su Qiubai was even more surprised when he heard this. He knew that Su Pojun was not sure who the inner ghost was in his heart, so if he said it directly, wouldn't he startle the snake? Wouldn't it be harder to find out if that man had just terminated contact with the pirate in fear?
Su Pojun on the stage continued: "Although I don't know who this inner ghost is yet, I think you should be someone here. I don't care who you are, I hope that when you hear my words, you can stop your criminal behavior in time, then it can still be recovered, if you are obsessed again, one day, I will personally pull you out and accept the country's sanctions! ”
Su Pojun's words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone was shocked by his momentum, and the scene was suddenly silent, and everyone was thinking in their hearts, who is most likely to be this inner ghost.
After the commendation meeting, Su Qiubai followed Su Pojun back to his home in the military region, he is now Su Pojun's personal guard, so he doesn't have to go back to the original barracks, but can live directly with his father, nominally to protect Su Pojun, in fact, where Su Pojun needs protection, this is just to save him from those tedious training tasks.
After arriving home, Su Qiubai asked his father: "You tell this matter directly, aren't you afraid of startling the snake?" ”
Su Pojun took off his military uniform and replied nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid of startling the snake now, I'm afraid that the snake will lie dormant and not move, so I won't be able to catch him." ”
Su Qiubai asked inexplicably, "But if he really stops his movements after hearing your threat, wouldn't it be even more impossible to catch him?" With such a dangerous person by your side, can you rest assured? ”
Su Pojun shook his head and smiled, and said, "You are still too young to know the greed of human nature. Since he dared to take the risk of doing such a thing, he naturally had his purpose, and now that he has reached the point where he is now, do you think he can still stop? Even if he didn't do it, those pirates would agree to it after they had tasted so much sweetness? What I said today is to stimulate him to act more frantically, and the more frequent his movements, the greater my chance of catching his flaws! ”
Su Qiubai thought about it carefully, and felt that what his father said was very reasonable, he had just speculated about this person with the mentality of an ordinary person before, but he didn't expect that since he dared to do this, how could he give up lightly because of Su Pojun's few threats.
"On this expedition to Damos Island, I carefully followed the whereabouts of officers of all ranks, especially those with the highest ranks. If they want to be internal ghosts, the conditions are the most convenient, because they are the first to know the battle plan every time. But after some observation, I directly ruled out their suspicions, and these people could not be internal ghosts. Su Pojun said suddenly.
Su Qiubai was puzzled: "How can you be so sure?" What if they pretend to be good? ”
Su Pojun glanced at him with a smile and said, "Because the battle plan for a few of them is not the same as the one that was finally issued to the expeditionary army!" And according to the feedback from you, the pirates have our real battle plan. Then I can be sure that the inner ghost must have some way to get our battle plan, not directly through me. ”
Su Qiubai nodded, he believed in his father's vision of leading soldiers in the army for many years, and he said that those people were not suspicious, so it must be so.
