The weather on Army Day was very good, and before dawn, the troops got up half an hour in advance to clean up, and they did not go out for morning exercises. I don't know, I thought some big chief was going to come to inspect.

A few days ago, Chen Hualin and Xue Xiangdong chatted about the holiday, and after listening to a few words from Li Zhan, who was standing aside and waiting to report on his work, he boldly suggested that it was better to hold individual activities to celebrate the 83 rd anniversary of the founding of the army. Chen Hualin glared and said, Who made you drink, don't you know if the army is forbidden. Then he asked Li Zhan, then what kind of unique activities do you say?

"Theme National Defense Education Activity Day!"

Li Zhan said impassionedly, "National defense education should start with children, and I suggest contacting local primary schools and asking them to organize students to come and visit, and let's prepare some exhibitions, interactive games, give children a lesson, and even arrange a simple air show." This is definitely very attractive for children, so that they can realize the importance of national defense from an early age, and we will consolidate the ideological foundation of future successors from the root. ”

"Hey, this kid has a good idea." Chen Hualin said to Xue Xiangdong, "This is very meaningful, and it is not only a measure to strengthen military-civilian relations, but also a very good form of national defense education." Our air force is not only a combat force, but also assists the relevant local departments in carrying out national defense education. ”

Xue Xiangdong agreed, "I agree, it is of great significance to carry out such an activity on Army Day. Divisional commander, I suggest that you personally preside over it. ”

"What is not personal, I am also a soldier of the People's Air Force. I agree to this matter, Lao Xue, you hurry up and come up with a specific plan, I will contact the military sub-district to ask them to come forward, let Li Zhan be specifically responsible for this matter, you can directly contact and coordinate with the school, don't engage in so many links, the efficiency of some local departments will be generalized, and things will be wrong. Chen Hualin decisively decided.

Li Zhan hurriedly said, "Division commander, I promise to complete the task." However, it is now the summer vacation, and if you want to organize students, the local education bureau will also have to intervene, and it is not enough to rely on the school alone. ”

"Don't worry about that." Xue Xiangdong waved his hand, "Yes, do you have anything to report?" ”

"Yes! Regiment commander, I mainly hand over the Blue Army Brigade's trolley fee report for July, you can calculate it, and ask the financial side to issue it on time and in quantity. Li Zhan handed over the document.

In the last few days of July, there were no flying missions, and it was another brigade that was on duty for combat readiness, so Li Zhan had nothing to do and simply calculated the trolley fees of the pilots of the brigade. He calculated it in vain, and there are special statistics on the financial side. However, since the last time the finance undercalculated his half-hour pull-up fee, he has developed the habit of recording the calculation himself and then checking it with the finance.

"Hmm." Xue Xiangdong took it, "You go back and think about how to carry out this activity, give me an outline as soon as possible, mobilize the wisdom of the officers and soldiers, and do a good job and make it meaningful." ”

Li Zhan straightened his chest, "Don't worry, head of the regiment, I promise to complete the task." However, the funds for this activity have to be paid by the group, and our brigade can't open the pot. ”

"Hahaha!"

Chen Hualin laughed, pointed at Xue Xiangdong and said, "Old Xue, old Xue, you can't even hide this little trick from Li Zhan!" I think you'd better honestly let the Political Department come forward. You want to make his kid bleed, there is no door! ”

Xue Xiangdong glared at Li Zhan stupidly, and showed Chen Hualin a smile that was more ugly than crying.

He was complaining in his heart: You don't know, division commander, his "228" project is so rich that he has enough aviation fuel to manage funds, and a bunch of big people in the research leading group are just an ordinary cadre, all of whom cover what he wants, and people wave a big pen to discuss aviation fuel, and send train after train here, which is much more magnificent than me, the deputy division commander!

However, he didn't dare to say it explicitly, the resources of the "228" project could not be moved casually, and it was Li Zhan's business to move.

As a result, Chen Hualin made fun of Xue Xiangdong for a few days, and he received a heavier critical attack than Xue Xiangdong during the handover ceremony of the fighter plane yesterday, and the blood of the continuous critical attack bottomed out.

August Day is the most important holiday in the minds of soldiers, and there is no one, because this day is the common birthday of all Chinese active and retired soldiers. After 83 years of bloody storms, under the absolute leadership of our party, a piece of heaven and earth has been carved out, and the waist of the Chinese nation has once again stood upright.

This day is also a day when the leaders frequently go to the grassroots to offer condolences.

Chen Hualin returned to Wushi, where the division headquarters was stationed, yesterday, and packed up as soon as he got home, so his wife complained, "It's been half a month since the army left, where are you going?" I've never seen a division commander like you. Look at others, is there a division commander like you who is not in the division all day? ”

"Don't tremble, I still have a camouflage uniform, bring it here." Chen Hualin beckoned, "You can't sit in the office and have combat effectiveness, Comrade Liu, you are also a soldier, you know!" ”

"Yes, yes, I know, but you didn't do that. Tomorrow is August Day, and if you don't celebrate the holiday with the cadres of the organs, they won't know you. His daughter-in-law, Director Liu of the Administrative Department of the Military Hospital, said.

Chen Hualin pinned the gun to his waist, patted it, and said, "You don't need to know me, just know that I am the division commander." ”

"You said you, seeing that the person who is about to retreat, you can't stop a little, and you still have a gun, what are you doing with a gun day in and day out?" Director Liu reprimanded.

Chen Hualin said casually, "With peace of mind." ”

Thinking of something suddenly, Director Liu stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "Where are you going this time?" ”

"Accompany the head of the military region to the 102nd Regiment to have a look, and spend August Day with the officers and soldiers of the 102nd Regiment." Chen Hualin said with a smile, "Let me tell you, the 101st Regiment gave me a long face this time, and most of the planes of the Second Division were destroyed by them while they were still on the ground, and the head of the military region spoke highly of it." directly contributed to the reception of the second division's batch of Su Liangqi, and all of them have been handed over. ”

Director Liu said, "Is that the captain Li Zhan Li who you often mention, who is very handsome, has a good personality and a good temper, and can earn hundreds of thousands of rod fees a year?" ”

"Don't mention him, I'll be angry when I mention him!" Chen Hualin thought that he would have to pay a lot of money to the 101st regiment in the future, and his heart and liver trembled.

"What's going on here?" Director Liu smiled and said, "Let me ask you, is Captain Li married?" ”

Chen Hualin glared vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I've seen the photos, the person is very good, sunny and handsome, and it matches our girl very well." Director Liu said.

"Die, people have girlfriends, top students of Xi'an Jiaotong University, what does your daughter have, she can't even pass the big book, and she will be angry when she mentions it." Chen Hualin closed the suitcase again.

Director Liu was unconvinced, "What's wrong with the second book, the second book is not bad." Didn't she just join the army because she didn't listen to you? What's wrong with my daughter, no matter what she says, she is also a high-ranking cadre! ”

"Lao Liu!" Chen Hualin became serious and said, "Don't say this, don't say it at home." Let me tell you this, Li Zhan, this young man is not something your daughter can hold. I've always been very accurate in my reading of soldiers. Okay, let's go, I will at least accompany the chief to run a few troops for a week, and take the opportunity to intercede to see if I can complete the support for Li Zhan's brigade as soon as possible, and he is in a hurry to complete the modification. ”

"Let's go, let's go, open your mouth and close your mouth is Li Zhan Li Zhan's, you can take it easy, you will retire in two years!"

"Maybe!"

Chen Hualin had already gone away, and the dignified and upright senior colonel went out alone with the boarding suitcase, which was also the consistent style of this person. He often even brought only one accompanying staff officer with him. Half of the year spent at the grassroots level, turning the division commander into a "regiment commander." However, this seems to be the tradition of the 73rd Division, and it is precisely because the successive commanders have well inherited the fine tradition that the 73rd Division, an old powerhouse forgotten in the west, has always maintained its strong fighting spirit and corresponding combat effectiveness for decades.

All parties are rushing, all for the sake of destroying the Wang Brigade, or for the future of the 73rd Division, in order to completely win the battle of turnaround. The confrontation drill with the 2nd Division, the air combat competition, was just an appetizer.

After a hurried breakfast, Li Zhan found Zheng Kaiyun in a commuter car, accompanied by Han Hongjun. More than 300 primary school teachers and students and dozens of local personnel have to attend the National Defense Day-themed activities at the station, and the pressure on logistical support is very great, and the station is mainly responsible for doing this.

"Stationmaster Zheng."

Li Zhan saluted and stopped Zheng Kaiyun who came out of the office yard of the station.

"Brigade Lee." Zheng Kaiyun smiled wryly and returned the salute, "Why did you come in person." ”

"I even go to the toilet myself." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Han Hongjun on one side couldn't help but laugh. After a big battle, Li Zhan's prestige was in full swing, and not only the flight regiment, but also the station, repair shop, and meteorological station all admired this flight captain who had the ability to raise their work intensity by a level. Especially repair shops.

"Stationmaster Zheng, I just turned around, the stage can't be built, I have already asked people to tow the fighter in place, and the position has been framed for you, please send someone to adjust it." Li Zhan said things directly.

Zheng Kaiyun raised his wrist and tapped his watch, and said, "Captain Li, I've been busy since I got up, and it's all about the preparations for today's national defense education activities. ”

"Eat less and eat late will not make you hungry, besides, your stomach should also be reduced, what can you do if you catch the physical fitness of the commander of the army in the future?" Li Zhan smiled, "Let's arrange this matter first, I still have to check it." It is of great significance to hold a retirement ceremony for J-6 with the children, and the layout of the stage is very important. ”

Can Zheng Kaiyun say no, it should be said that he has no reason to refuse any request from Li Zhan and does not dare to refuse, besides, Li Zhan's request is all reasonable, and he can't slack off on such an important activity.

"Okay, okay, I won't eat breakfast, I'll arrange it down, go to the scene and stare at it in person, Captain Li, contact me on the walkie-talkie, call me directly if you have something, you don't have to run in person." Zheng Kaiyun is decisive and good.

Facts have ruthlessly proved that anyone who follows the little prince of the lever has only good and no harm.

However, why is the captain of the lever brigade so interested in these political work activities, it should be said that he is very dedicated, which is rare.

Zheng Kaiyun asked curiously, "La, Brigade Li, isn't it enough to let Zhang Luo of the Propaganda Unit of the Political Department of your regiment do these jobs, and you need to go out in person?" I heard that the modification time of the tie rod brigade is very tight, and it should be trained more. ”

"What trolley brigade?" Li Zhan glared angrily, and erected thorns like hedgehogs, "The Destruction King Brigade is the Destruction King!" What a momentum of the name, let you call it what to call! ”

"Rest your anger, stop your anger." Zheng Kaiyun hurriedly smiled and said, "There have been some rumors recently, but they are all good-natured, everyone has nothing else to mean, they just think the image is ...... So what, Brigade Li, why do you attach so much importance to today's event? ”

Li Zhan accepted it when he saw that it was good, and said, "Oh, national defense education is very important, and now the life of the local people is getting better and better, but the corresponding national defense awareness has not kept up, and this is a very bad phenomenon." The national defense system includes not only hardware, but also software in this aspect of the people's national defense consciousness and ideology. Primary school students are the flowers and bones of the motherland, and our national defense education should start from the children. Our troops should not only grasp training to enhance combat effectiveness, but also assist localities in grasping national defense education. ”

Zheng Kaiyun thought very seriously, nodded slowly, and said seriously, "Team Li, no matter what other people think, my old Zheng is very sure that you are by no means a person who only looks at the trolley fee, really." ”

"Thank you."

Li Zhan shook Zheng Kaiyun's hands with emotion, "Alas, it's not easy to do something in a down-to-earth manner these days!" ”

He said sincerely, "Stationmaster Zheng, don't hide it, this side of the station is the hardest hit area of some rumors, it is true that they are all kind, but they are big for the tie rod...... The misunderstanding of destroying the Wang Brigade is very big. Yes, we are going to drive a third-generation aircraft, yes, the trolley fee has been raised, but you should know very well, which of us joined the army for glory and wealth? And who works hard to learn a skill to earn a tie rod fee? To put it mildly, these pilots of the sabotage Wang Brigade are all excellent in any airline they put in, and they can easily earn tens of millions of dollars a year. However, why do we stay in the army and ignore the window and only use fighter planes, not to defend the homeland and the country, not to the people's tranquility, and not to make a relentless contribution to building a strong people's air force! ”

"I hope you will go back and have a meeting to talk about this matter and solve the misunderstanding, money is a fart, the most important thing is that we, the brothers of our flight regiment and the station are all the same, they are all members of the People's Air Force!"

Zheng Kaiyun had some tears in his eyes, and fully felt Li Zhan's sincerity and sincerity to the people of the motherland, he shook Li Zhan's hands excitedly, and said, "Team Li, I also misunderstood you, I used to think that you were better than me, you died in the eyes of money, now it seems that I was wrong, very wrong, very wrong, I want you to apologize, and promise to hold a special meeting to talk about this matter." Yes, the consciousness of a small number of officers and soldiers here at the station is to be raised, if they are all like you, how much worry I have to save! ”

"Stationmaster Zheng, please!" Li Zhan shook Zheng Kaiyun's hands heavily again.

The Han Hongjun on one side was about to vomit.

After waving his hand and watching Li Zhan and the two walk away in the commuter car, Zheng Kaiyun took a sip on the ground, "Damn, the little fox still wants to brainwash me, Lao Tzu has been doing political work for 20 years, you let me be in charge of the stage It's not that you don't want to pay, damn it, in order to save that little money, the hard work has been used, this kid's food is a hundred times more ugly than Xue Cannon's, you have to be careful in the future......"
