Yang Wenkang, the 46-year-old new head of the Armed Forces Department, changed jobs six months ago, studied at the provincial party school for five months, and was appointed member of the Yunling City CPC Committee, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Municipal Committee, director of the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department, and executive deputy director of the Yunling City National Defense Mobilization Committee half a month ago.

From his personal file, it can be seen that Yang Wenkang is a native of Sandu Town, Yunling City, born in a peasant family, enlisted in the army after graduating from high school, has 27 years of military experience, 25 years of party age, and has served as a squad leader, deputy platoon leader, platoon leader, deputy company commander, company commander, deputy battalion commander, battalion commander, regimental chief of staff, deputy regiment commander, regiment commander, and division chief of staff.

Yunling City is located in the southeast coastal area, with a land area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, resembling a peninsula deep into the East China Sea, and its strategic position is very important. Therefore, the post of head of the armed forces is particularly important, and it must be held by demobilized military cadres, and must also be directly appointed by the provincial military district and the organization department of the provincial party committee, and even Haizhou City, which is directly at the top of the department.

Accompanying the new minister to report to the secretary of the municipal party committee is the old minister Chang Dalin, the handover of the new and old ministers has been completed, and reporting to the secretary of the municipal party committee is the last procedure.

When shaking hands warmly, Xu Haodong couldn't help but look at Yang Wenkang and found that Yang Wenkang was taller than him, and it seemed that his crown of being the tallest in the two teams was about to be taken off.

"Lao Chang, I'm tired to ask, do you soldiers, especially officers, all be selected according to more than 1.75 meters."

Chang Dalin laughed, and Yang Wenkang also laughed, because the two understood what Xu Haodong was referring to.

If you really want to compare the size, Xu Haodong can't even compare with Chang Dalin, because Chang Dalin is tall and big, and Yang Wenkang is also as strong as an iron tower, and although Xu Haodong is one meter seven or eight tall, he is very thin, like a bamboo pole.

"Wenkang, Secretary Haodong is approachable, but height is his pride, I am 1.76 meters, he is two centimeters taller than me, he is the tallest in the two teams, now you are here, you are two centimeters taller than him, now he can't be proud."

Xu Haodong also smiled: "Rank second, be second." ”

Invite the two ministers to sit down, Xu Haodong personally poured two glasses of water, and Chang Dalin smiled and told Yang Wenkang: "Wenkang, there are a few more points I want to remind you." First, you call him Secretary Haodong in public, and he likes others to call him Haodong in non-public. Second, Secretary Haodong does not smoke, drink or drink tea, smoking is strictly prohibited in the office, and only boiled water is provided. Third, Yunling City is different from other places, where the mayor is concurrently the director of the National Defense Mobilization Committee, and Yunling City is the secretary of the municipal party committee and the director of the National Defense Mobilization Committee. ”

Yang Wenkang said: "Please rest assured that Secretary Haodong and the old minister are still soldiers after taking off their military uniforms, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and I will work hard under the leadership of Secretary Haodong and the Municipal Party Committee." ”

This is a political statement, and it also put Secretary Haodong in front of the municipal party committee, Xu Haodong was very satisfied, "Lao Chang, how are you?" ”

Chang Dalin said: "My handover with Wenkang has been completed, and I have also moved out of the compound of the Ministry of Armed Forces. I have now taken over the work of the Party Group of the Municipal People's Congress, but to be honest, the role change needs to be adapted, and I am still in the adaptation stage. ”

"Chang, you can do it." Xu Haodong said: "Lao Chang, you, the first deputy director and party secretary of the National People's Congress, must enter the role as soon as possible." Because of a little secret, Director Jiang Fan is not in good health and may not reach the age of 60 by the end of the year, and he himself hopes to retire early. Therefore, when you enter the role, Director Jiang Fan will retire. ”

Chang Dalin said: "I understand, I must hurry up." ”

"One more thing." Xu Haodong said: "Lao Chang, the post of commander-in-chief of the shantytown reconstruction project, you can't step down yet, the residents of the shantytown are all old soldiers or old military workers, and I will rest assured that the Minister of Armed Forces is in charge." It's still the old rule, let Comrade Wenkang enter the role as soon as possible, and when he enters the role, he will replace you as the commander-in-chief of the shantytown reconstruction project. ”

Chang Dalin and Yang Wenkang nodded in unison.

Xu Haodong turned to Yang Wenkang again, "Comrade Wenkang, you can raise any questions, and let's solve them together." ”

Yang Wenkang said: "Secretary Haodong, I just took office, and I have been away from my hometown for more than 20 years, so I don't know much about the situation, so I can't say anything for the time being. It's just that before coming this time, I went to the provincial military district headquarters, and the leaders of the provincial military district fully affirmed the national defense construction of our Yunling City, but there were also special requirements for us to strengthen the construction of reserves. Specifically, it is necessary to increase the strength of the mobile detachment on the basis of maintaining the city reserve regiment, and at the same time to have such a plan that in an emergency, the city reserve regiment can be expanded into a city reserve division as soon as possible, of which the mobile strength is not less than one regiment. ”

Xu Haodong asked Chang Dalin, "Old Chang, what is the current situation of our city's reserve regiment?" ”

Chang Dalin said: "The national defense force of our Yunling City is mainly composed of three parts, one is the garrison, mainly in the Dawan Islands and the surrounding waters, the second is the armed police and public security, which will be expanded to a regimental scale in wartime, and the third is the reserve regiment. The structure of our reserve regiment is as follows: a helicopter battalion is composed of civilian helicopters, a maritime mobile battalion is composed of civilian fishing boats, an air defense battalion and a mobile battalion, which are composed of personnel from municipal organs and institutions. In addition, there is a company in each of the twenty township streets, all made up of veterans, and each company has five platoons, each of which has a mobile platoon, which can be pulled out at any time to carry out urgent tasks. ”

Xu Haodong nodded, "There are a lot of troops, and the scale is quite large, so what about the strength?" ”

Chang Dalin said with a smile: "Haodong, aren't you embarrassing me, you know, 70% of our city's reserve force is composed of demobilized soldiers and veterans, and the foundation is not a problem." However, there is a lack of training, and the two-week drills are held twice a year, and the time is too little, and it is really difficult to improve the military strength. I have always called for at least four four-week drills a year, in addition to more than four emergency drills a year, so that our reserve forces can become qualified defense forces. ”

Xu Haodong also smiled, "Money, right?" ”

"Yes, it's mostly money." Chang Dalin said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the army is always strong, this is the most basic truth." I have calculated and planned that each emergency exercise will cost 10 million, each one-week drill will cost 30 million, and according to my plan, 160 million will be needed for the whole year, plus the daily expenses, a total of 200 million. At present, the state subsidy is 0.2 billion yuan, and the military expenditure is 0.2 billion yuan, which is only enough for daily expenses, and the 50 million yuan allocated by the city government every year is not enough to conduct two drills. ”

After thinking about it, Xu Haodong said: "Lao Chang, Comrade Wenkang, I will ask the municipal finance to allocate money to you, and increase it by 50 million every year." ”

Chang Dalin said: "According to my plan, this is still 60 million." ”

Xu Haodong smiled: "Lao Chang, don't you have to make an inch." ”

Yang Wenkang said: "Secretary Haodong, Minister Chang, I have a suggestion. The local government has a national defense construction fund, which is funded by the municipal government and jointly funded by local enterprises, and everyone can allocate part of the funds to support the local national defense construction. Secretary Haodong just said that the city government allocates an additional 50 million yuan every year, and we can use this 50 million yuan as the basis to build a Yunling City national defense construction fund. ”

Xu Haodong's eyes lit up, slapped the table and said, "Good idea, good idea." Let's just do what we say, let's go to the Municipal Chamber of Commerce Building together, and just let the Minister of Culture and Health make an appearance. ”
