Chapter 12: The Eve of the Earthquake

Although Chen Weixiong is a department-level cadre and has a relationship with the commander of the 305th Regiment, he came down from the military organ after all, and relatively speaking, when he arrives in the regiment, he is the leader. When he first arrived at the company, he was indispensable for receiving wine, and in this regard, Chen Weixiong also knew that no matter what, after all, he had to stay here for half a month, and he couldn't give others too much face. So Chen Weixiong didn't say anything about the arrangements in the regiment. After the first three glasses of wine, as usual, Chen Weixiong should say something on behalf of the military organs.

With his glass in hand, Chen Weixiong stood up.

"Comrades, the army chief asked me, as a representative, to greet the comrades working at the grassroots level!"

"Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow。。。。。。" Naturally, there was applause.

Chen Weixiong continued: "This time I came to our 305th Regiment in response to Chairman Mao's call for the old man to join the company. After tomorrow, I will live in the company's platoon room, eat, live, and work with the soldiers, and complete military training together. Here, I thank you all! As he spoke, Chen Weixiong drank all the wine in his hand and lit up the bottom of the glass.

"Director Chen, we have arranged all this, and when the time comes, you will live in the dormitory of the propaganda unit of the regiment, and you usually have to bother to help our regiment catch a few typical propaganda, and also help us bring a few officers of the propaganda unit." Ever since Chairman Mao and his old man asked the commanders and political commissars of several large military regions to serve as soldiers in their companies, it has become a common practice for cadres of government organs to serve as soldiers in their companies, and grassroots units have been able to cope with these things with ease.

"No, this time I'll go to your battalion, company, and platoon. If you stay in the institution all the time, if you don't move a little, your body will protest. Chen Weixiong thought about it on the road, and this time he really went down to the company to live in a row house according to the arrangement of his precious son. Of course, when saying this, you have to take into account the face of the leaders in the regiment. So I found a reason for myself.

Chen Weixiong's arrangement was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was normal for cadres of organs to go down to the company, but no one really went directly to the squad or platoon. Captain Wang's first reaction was, is there a problem with this discharge?

"Lao Chen, is there something wrong with the first row?" Head Wang and Chen Weixiong have known each other for many years, and they are all equals, so there are not so many taboos when speaking, but when he said this, he still lowered his voice.

"Come, come, come, let's eat." After saying this, Chen Weixiong sat down, and the others knew that after saying what he had just said, he drank the wine in the cup, and the feast officially began. As for Chen Weixiong's arrangement, that is the matter of Head Wang. So the others were not polite, and ate and drank.

"It's okay, I really want to go down and exercise, otherwise this belly will come out." Chen Weixiong explained to Head Wang in a whisper. In fact, he didn't make it up, Chen Zhaojun laughed at him.

"Yo, I didn't expect Lao Chen that you really came to exercise!" Head Wang believed it this time. Chen Weixiong did not lie to him on this matter.

"You don't know, the third child in our family laughs at me all day long, saying that if I don't exercise again, in a few years, I won't be able to see my toes. I thought that this was right, and it was better to exercise more while this belly had not yet grown. Come down every year, don't waste such an opportunity. "I have a good relationship with Head Wang, so Chen Weixiong basically has something to say.

"The third child of your family? Is it the one who made zha medicine to blow up the water intake of the military headquarters? I've heard which kid is terrible. ”

Chen Weixiong was a little crying and laughing at this time, and he didn't know how this word was spread, and when it reached here, even the water intake of the military headquarters was blown up.

"This is all nonsense, the third boy of my family came out with his brother with some zha medicine, but he went to fry fish, who said that even the water intake was fried."

"Really? I've heard that even the combat duty room of the military headquarters was alarmed, and the army even issued a special report. "Commander Wang didn't believe it a little, after all, it was the incident that alarmed the combat duty room, and the army also wrote a letter, how could something big not happen?

"You're talking nonsense! That's not because the power of the zha medicine they made was okay, and they put too much of it, but it turned out to be too loud, and the combat duty room thought something was going on. Speaking of this, Chen Weixiong couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, it's his own son.

"And how many zha drugs did they use?" Commander Wang was surprised, he had seen the earthy medicine used to fry fish, which was more powerful than firecrackers, and if he used something, how much would it take to make such a big movement.

"It's only about 2 kilograms, but I asked the people in the logistics department, and what they came up with is a standard zha medicine, which may be more powerful." Chen Weixiong was not modest, and said honestly.

"It's not amazing, I heard that your old son is not yet 7 years old!" Head Wang was surprised. Think of his two sons, both 17 or 8 years old, who spend their days idle, who don't know anything but to fight and cause trouble, and who are preparing to throw them into the army this year.

。。。。。。

That night, Chen Weixiong stayed at the guest house of the regiment headquarters because it was already late when the banquet was dismissed. He didn't want to go to the company's row room with the smell of alcohol.

Lying in bed at night, he remembered the homework given to him by Chen Zhaojun, and took it out to take a look, which was written in detail on how to unify the command during the earthquake relief, how to use limited manpower to find the most valuable target at the fastest speed, how to use tools in the absence of large machinery, how to arrange tools for different buildings, and so on.

Looking at Chen Zhaojun's piece of paper, it was like a rescue battle plan. Thinking about what his son said in the morning, Chen Weixiong felt that he was a soldier, and if he wanted to make plans, he should be better than his son. Chen Weixiong has a competitive mind, but this time the target is not someone else, but his own son Chen Zhaojun.

This night, the lights in Chen Weixiong's room in the 305th Regiment Guest House have not been extinguished. With what his son wrote, plus the villain book that his son shoehorned over, at dawn, a detailed earthquake relief organization plan appeared on the table of the guest house. Chen Weixiong is still very satisfied with his efficiency and achievements, after all, it is much stronger and more meticulous than the thing that Chen Zhaojun did. When you get back, you should teach a few children how to write a plan. Chen Weixiong thought secretly in his heart.

。。。。。。

The first battalion, one company and one platoon of the 305th Regiment are not far from the regimental headquarters, and they are usually used as guard platoons at the regimental headquarters. Chen Weixiong is very satisfied. He really showed the strength to exercise his body, and usually lived with the soldiers. This also relaxed Chen Weixiong's tense nerves in the military organs a lot.

Later that afternoon, Chen Weixiong returned from working with the soldiers and noticed something very unusual, which made his already relaxed nerves tense.

"Hey, hey, look, how are these rats running around and not afraid of people at all?" On the way back to the barracks, a few rats were scurrying along the road, not noticing the soldiers who were walking in line.

To say that this incident is just an accidental phenomenon, who knows that after walking a few steps, he encountered such a thing several times, which cannot but attract Chen Weixiong's attention. The content of the villain book about the Xingtai earthquake that I read two days ago appeared in Chen Weixiong's mind.

What's going on, is it so hard that it's going to be an earthquake? Chen Weixiong had such a thought in his head. Looking up at the sky, a flock of sparrows that should have returned to their nests were chirping in the sky. This scene made Chen Weixiong gasp. Something doesn't seem right.

With such a thought, Chen Weixiong returned to the barracks, relieved of the tools, and came to the faucet to wash his hands. Who knew that as soon as the faucet was turned on, what flowed out was no longer the clear spring that he was used to in the past, but the turbid sewage. Now, Chen Weixiong felt that this was really a little wrong. He knew that the 305th Regiment usually used spring water, and it was how it was pumped, and many soldiers usually drank it directly at the faucet, and today's water meant that the water in the well had become muddy. This is certainly not good news.

What Chen Weixiong is thinking about most now is the precursors that happened before the Xingtai earthquake described in the villain book that Chen Zhaojun gave him. Could it be that today's anomalies are also a precursor to an earthquake? Chen Weixiong didn't dare to say the above, he knew that he couldn't say such things until there was a real earthquake. But Chan felt he had something to do.

According to the general practice, under the leadership of the higher-level organs, when the company is about to leave, it will conduct a regiment-wide drill to show off the demeanor of the soldiers. Originally, Chen Weixiong was not going to do this, after all, he was not a military commander. But today, he felt that he should exercise this convention, after all, in two days, he would be back to the military headquarters.

Regiment Commander Wang was very surprised, Chen Weixiong, who usually eats with a company, came to the small canteen of the regiment headquarters to eat today.

"Commander Wang, I'm going back to the military headquarters in two days, why don't we have an emergency assembly tonight?" Chen Weixiong said.

Head Wang was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded in understanding: "Okay, you blow the whistle then!" "After all, it's conventional, so it's easy to understand.

"Then let's inform it, you don't need to bring a backpack, and you can gather in the big playground of the regiment headquarters." Chen Weixiong said it very easily, no one knows, he is not easy at all at the moment.

Commander Wang was a little confused, it stands to reason that the emergency assembly is sudden and requires being fully armed, but who heard that the emergency assembly is still notified and does not need to bring a backpack, is there still any meaning in the emergency assembly? But after thinking about it, he understood that Chen Weixiong wanted to use the opportunity of the emergency assembly to conduct exercises, so that the emergency assembly should be close to the dawn before getting up.

"Okay, I'll let the staff officer inform me." Thinking about what Chen Weixiong meant, Head Wang looked very relaxed. In fact, as long as it is not for combat readiness, the troops are generally reluctant to engage in an emergency assembly, which is too tiring. Chen Weixiong's doing this should be said to greatly reduce the pressure of the emergency assembly, and the fighters will not complain about anything. Because the most feared thing about emergency assembly is a surprise attack. In the case of preparation, it is still very relaxed.

"Staff Officer Li, wait for the notification to the companies, gather urgently tonight, no need to bring a backpack." Commander Wang commanded.

。。。。。。

When he returned to the row house that night, Chen Weixiong took out the earthquake relief plan he had written and read it again.
