Text Chapter 1 The Removed Corporal
Somewhere in northeastern China.
All the officers and men of the Ice Sword Special Brigade of the Northeast Military Region gathered in the auditorium, looking at the gloomy faces of the seven leaders on the rostrum, as if they could drip ink, and the usually passionate military songs were extremely depressing today.
"Could it be that Dewey's punishment decision has come down, and it doesn't seem to be easy to look at the leaders."
"What do the chiefs think, Dewey injured a hooligan who molested women, and if he doesn't reward him, how can he be punished?"
"It shouldn't be too heavy, Dewey just won the first place in the all-army special warfare competition, although he hasn't made up for it now, but he has to think about it......"
Although they had many doubts in their hearts, on the solemn occasion of the military conference, the officers and men could only bury their doubts in the bottom of their hearts, and did not even make the gesture of exchanging their heads and ears.
After the military song was played, the chief of staff gave the order: "Sit down." ”
Syllable!
Almost a voice, all the officers and soldiers sat down in unison, only the chief of staff was still standing in place, still with a gloomy face, and shouted solemnly: "Bring Dewey up!" ”
Everyone was taken aback.
Although the various punishments of the armed forces are severe, their main purpose is to enforce strict discipline, educate discipline violators and troops, strengthen centralization and unity, and consolidate and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. And the chief of staff directly ordered Dewey to be escorted to the stage, which means that his punishment is at least to remove him.
How is this possible?
Dewey had just won the championship of the all-army special warfare competition, the real king of special warfare soldiers, and he should be greeted by meritorious service awards and promotions, as well as a bright and bright future, how could he be punished so severely just for injuring a hooligan who molested women?
Whispers immediately rang out in the auditorium, and if it weren't for the consistently strict discipline, I am afraid that someone would have raised grievances for Dewey.
"Silence!"
The chief of staff shouted angrily, his sharp eyes swept across the auditorium, and the auditorium suddenly fell silent, and Dewey was also brought to the right corner of the rostrum by two pickets wearing white steel helmets and white armed belts around their waists.
Wearing the rank of corporal, Dewey was very delicate, and it was difficult for people to associate him with the king of special warfare, and a week of administrative supervision made his face a little haggard, but his eyes were still resolute and sharp, and his slender and sturdy body was as straight as a pine.
The officers and soldiers under the rostrum saw Dewey's still upright military posture, and they all secretly regretted in their hearts, even if they faced unfair punishment, he still did not forget that he was a member of the ice sword, and was always ready to make a sharp sword out of the sheath.
"Team Division Jun Zi [2018] Order No. 015!"
As the solemn voice of the chief of staff sounded, all the officers and men under the rostrum stood up collectively as if they had put on a spring. He continued to read out the order: "Du Wei, male, Han nationality, enlisted in the army in September 2015, and is now the squad leader of the ninth squad of the third squadron of the Ice Sword Special Brigade of the Northeast Military Region, with the rank of corporal, had an argument with local personnel on January 25, 2018, and beat the other party to serious injuries, which has caused an extremely bad impact inside and outside the army. In order to educate myself and warn the troops, the brigade decided to remove Dewey from the list after research! ”
It turned out to be really a delisting!
The officers and soldiers in the audience all looked at Dewey, only to see that there was no remorse in his eyes, and he was still as resolute as ever.
"Remove Dewey's epaulettes and collar flowers!" The chief of staff ordered.
The pickets on both sides immediately stepped forward to remove Dewey's epaulettes and collar flowers, while Dewey remained motionless and let them operate.
"Take Dewey down!"
The eyes of the officers and soldiers followed Dewey's back until he disappeared outside the auditorium door, still unwilling to take it back.
The military order was like a mountain, and no matter how dissatisfied they were with Dewey's punishment decision, they were powerless to change it, so they could only see him off in this way.
"Don't even look at it, the political commissar will give instructions below."
The voice of the chief of staff summoned everyone's attention back again, and the political commissar turned on the microphone in front of him and said slowly: "Comrades, meritorious service must be rewarded, and meritorious service must be punished, and merit is not worthy of it, which is the consistent principle of our army's discipline regulations. Although Dewey won the all-army championship not long ago and made meritorious contributions to the brigade, it does not mean that he can be unorganized and undisciplined......
The sound was heard through the auditorium, and Dewey's footsteps suddenly stopped.
A picket next to him patted him on the shoulder, and instead of being as serious as he had been in the auditorium before, he said with some indignation: "Dewey, don't listen to his nonsense! Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and we all know that you have been wronged. ”
Unexpectedly, Dewey smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think he's really embarrassed." ”
The two pickets shook their heads at the same time, not knowing where he started with this, and then suddenly realized that this matter was obviously done by the leaders of the brigade, and in order not to cause public indignation, they had to desperately go back, but they were not embarrassed.
"Let's go, send me to pack my things." Dewey finished speaking and walked towards the barracks.
Everyone in the squadron had a meeting in the auditorium, and there was only one watchman, who was still in Dewey's class, and when he saw Dewey coming back, he immediately greeted him happily and asked, "Squad leader, you are back, nothing is wrong-"
As soon as he was halfway through his sentence, he saw the two pickets following Dewey and said, "Two squad leaders, why are you here, isn't my squad leader still going to be confined?" ”
The two pickets moved their lips, not knowing what to say, Dewey took over with a smile and said, "Xiao Wu, they sent me back, I didn't have a big deal, but I was removed." ”
"Removed!"
Xiao Wu jumped up and shouted angrily: "Why did the brigade remove your name, I'll go to them to reason!" So saying, he was about to run out.
"Come back!"
Dewey grabbed him and said with a straight face: "What are you looking for?" Not on duty? ”
"Squad leader, you are fighting hooligans, that is righteous and courageous, it doesn't matter if you don't reward you, why do you want to be removed? I have to reason with them! Xiao Wu said stubbornly.
"I'm called a serious injury, the head of the brigade just gave me a dismissal punishment, it's lenient enough, you're still looking for a fart, do you want me to sentence you for a few years before you can get the best of it?" Dewey said with a tiger face.
"You are fighting hooligans, and you still break the law in the face of righteousness and bravery, and there is no king's law!" Xiao Wu shouted.
"It's not up to you to break the law or not, it's not up to me, now this result is already good for me, if you still treat me as your squad leader, just stay for me, and help me hand over the old quilt for a while." Dewey said.
No matter what the reason for leaving the army, the allotted uniforms must be handed in, which is called handing over in the army, not to mention that Dewey was removed from the army, and his personal belongings are not many, and they are quickly sorted out.
Handing over the old quilt to Xiao Wu, Dewey reluctantly walked around the team, and then left the squadron with the two pickets under Xiao Wu's tearful farewell.
Back in the confinement room, there were people inside, and to the surprise of the two pickets, it was none other than Captain Zhang Xin who was waiting for Dewey.
"Captain!"
The two pickets hurriedly saluted, and Dewey, though already dressed in civilian clothes, gave a military salute like them.
Zhang Xin returned the salute and said to the two pickets: "You guys go out first, I'll talk to Dewey." ”
When the two pickets left, Zhang Xin pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down." ”
Dewey sat down and said, "Uncle Zhang, you're not here to see me off, are you?" ”
No one in the Ice Sword Brigade knew that Dewey was the son of the late former captain Du Xiangming, and the current captain Zhang Xin was only a squadron leader at that time, and it was normal for Dewey to call him uncle.
"How did I get here? Of course I'm here to scold you! ”
Zhang Xin blackened his face and pointed at Dewey and said, "You kid is a pat on the ass. The stock is gone, let's clean up this mess, do you know that the political commissar just said that he didn't match the words before and after, and he almost couldn't come back? The officers and men are full of complaints, thinking that we are not doing things fairly, and you will not let us carry out our work in the future? ”
"Hee-hee, you can't blame me for this, you have to blame the above." Dewey smiled and pointed upward, and said innocently: "I didn't know that I had to go to the hidden dragon like this, you didn't tell me at the beginning." ”
When it came to Qianlong, Zhang Xin was angry, and the elites that his own troops had cultivated with great difficulty turned around and went to other troops. If it was an ordinary army, it would be fine, but Dewey chose to go to the most mysterious hidden dragon force in the republic.
To be precise, Qianlong is not a force of the Republic, at least not to the outside world, and it is not in the ranks of the Republic's army, and the Republic never acknowledges its existence. It is an invisible sword, unsheathed only when the republic needs it most.
It is precisely because of this that before Dewey joined the Hidden Dragon, he had to erase his military identity, so there was a play in which he was removed, the so-called hooligans did not exist at all, and the leaders of the Ice Sword Brigade became the backstabbers.
Zhang Xin pointed at Dewey's nose and said, "You kid is still reasonable!" You didn't ask me when the competition ended, so you ran to Minister Dong and asked to go to Qianlong, and now you blame me? What's wrong with the ice sword, you have to go to the hidden dragon? Do you know what kind of place it is, you can give your life at any time! If you have three long and two short, how will I explain to your father in the future? Let me tell you, it's still too late to regret it, and I'll go to Minister Dong and say that he and your father are also old comrades-in-arms, and they will definitely agree. ”
Dewey shook his head and said firmly: "Uncle Zhang, I have already decided and will not change it again." And you should know that not being able to join Qianlong was my father's biggest regret before his death, and I promised him before his hospital bed that I would fulfill this last wish for him no matter what. ”
Of course, Zhang Xin knew the regret of the old leader, but he didn't expect Dewey to want to inherit his legacy.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xin knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless. He had no choice but to sigh, patted Dewey on the shoulder, and said, "In this case, Uncle Zhang won't stop you, be more careful when you get to the hidden dragon, it's really not as simple as you imagined." ”
Dewey nodded vigorously and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I will take care of myself, and I won't disgrace our ice sword!" ”
