Chapter 56: Choice
Dai Dehan's words can be regarded as speaking his heart.
As a new platoon commander with a glorious past, a soldier who has participated in the international military pentathlon competition, Dai Dehan certainly hopes to lead the soldiers for the first time to become an instant hit.
At least at the beginning of their own officer career, who would not want to bring out a good combat platoon?
Who wants to have a rat poop in their platoon spoil a pot of soup they have carefully cooked?
But perhaps no one here that night would know that what he wanted was the place that Dettham had arranged for him.
All this had been predicted countless times in the solemn mind.
Solemnity is not stupid, it is too fine.
It's just that no matter how slippery the solemn little abacus is, he will never be able to control the outcome.
People are never as good as heaven.
Seeing that Dai Dehan was excited, Yin Xiancong couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Platoon commander! Don't worry, I promise that I can train this soldier well, no, I'll Yin Xiancong come to see you! ”
"What do I want your head for? Do you think it's the world of martial arts novels or watching the Three Kingdoms? Chop off your head at every turn? Dai Dehan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yin Xiancong suspiciously.
"By the way, Yin Xiancong, why do you want to take him so much? Did you take any advantage from this kid? As far as I know, he brought a lot of money to the army, and all the money was sent back to his parents? ”
"I sent it, I went to the post office to send it in person, and I even had a receipt!" Yin Xiancong said as he got up and went to his drawer to get the receipt.
"Okay, okay, did I say I don't believe you?" Dai Dehan hurriedly stopped him, asked him to sit down, and then kept looking at Yin Xiancong.
Suddenly, he said: "The training task of our regiment this year is very heavy, and so is our battalion and company, which falls on our heads, not to mention, if there is something wrong with the headquarters assessment at the end of the year, no one can afford this responsibility, Yin Xiancong, don't think that you can take the military academy examination in June this year and you will have no worries, I have to be responsible for my own platoon and the company, if there is any problem at that time, I think I will have no face as a soldier." ”
Yin Xiancong said: "I promise you! I can take him with me! ”
The insistence of the fourth squad leader made everyone present feel stunned.
Dai Dehan said: "Fourth squad leader, if I insist on sending him away, you can't stop me, I am the platoon leader, I just asked your squad leader for advice tonight, which means that I, the new platoon leader, respect you veterans, but it doesn't mean that I don't have the right to kick out a disobedient soldier!" ”
Yin Xiancong's face turned pale, and he said slowly after a while: "Yes, you are the platoon commander, you definitely have this power, as your subordinate, I can only obey." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "However, I also have the right to ask you to resign from my position as squad leader, and I will be a veteran......"
"You-"
Dedham was so angry that he almost jumped up from the small bench.
"Yin Xiancong, do you know what you're talking about!?"
Yin Xiancong nodded: "I know!" ”
Dai Dehan said: "You know that the most lacking thing this year is the backbone, except for a pig farmer, the entire Eighth Company is the head and deputy squad leader, a radish and a pit, and you are the one with the best graduation results in the whole company sent to the teaching team, and you are now telling me that you are not the squad leader!?" You're blackmailing me! ”
Yin Xiancong was silent for a long time and did not speak.
Seeing that the squad leader under his command did not speak, Dai Dehan's face softened a little.
"Our Eighth Company is not a garbage can, we throw all the garbage in for us to dispose of, we are a sharp knife company, not a fucking shelter, and not a nursery school!"
Yin Xiancong was still silent, but it seemed that he had no intention of changing his mind.
Dai Dehan touched his head: "Hee, evil sect, I said why are you so concerned about this soldier?!" Is it really taking advantage of others? That's a mistake, I have to warn you, comrade! ”
Yin Xiancong was in a hurry this time, and accepting the benefits of recruits was a matter of principle.
He stood up and said loudly, "I didn't! ”
Dedham immediately asked, "Then why do you have to take him!?" ”
Yin Xiancong said: "Because his father ......"
Speaking of this, Yin Xiancong kept his mouth shut.
took a deep breath to ease his emotions a little, and then said: "Because his father is a veteran of our army, 79 and 84 went to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang twice, and chose to return to the place because he was injured, Zhuang Zheng is his son, I think as a recruit who respects veterans, and as a squad leader, I must take Zhuang Zheng well, this is a conscience of a soldier!" ”
Dedham was speechless for a moment.
Conscience?
This is the conscience of the military.
It's all said and done, so what else is there to say?
He sat back on the stool, waved his right hand, and said in a deep tone: "Okay, since you are so insistent, then according to your own wishes, assign him to your class." After leaving the company, we are a platoon, you Yin Xiancong is the first squad leader, Niu Dali is the second squad leader, and Chen Qingming is the third squad leader. ”
The night's meeting was a heated argument that ended with Platoon Commander Deidham giving in.
When the recruits returned to the row house, no one knew what had happened here.
Zhuang Yan didn't know that his future military career would have a wonderful change because of this night.
After the training early the next morning, the platoon commander came back from the battalion headquarters with an extra bag in his hand, and when he entered the platoon room, he beckoned several squad leaders to come to his bed, and one of them shared a bag of something.
"All four classes are here, all here!"
Yin Xiancong walked out of the row room, took a small bench and sat under the corridor, and opened the plastic bag.
I solemnly saw that it was filled with various collar flowers, cockades and epaulettes.
"Rank issued!"
He was a little excited.
For more than two months, the recruits have been wearing bare military uniforms with no cockades and no rank on their shoulders.
How awkward does a military uniform without a collar epaulette and cockade, just like a local security guard, there is no taste of the regular army at all.
"Majestic, it's yours!"
Yin Xiancong put a small plastic bag in his solemn hand.
"The big cockade is pinned to the big-brimmed hat, the small cockade is pinned to the training hat and camouflage cap, the collar flower is pinned to the collar, and the epaulettes don't need me to teach, right?"
He gestured to the thick and thin sergeant rank on his shoulder.
"Got it, I know, squad leader, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?" Solemnly immersed in a little excitement, he took out the cockade and took a closer look.
The large cockade is metal, the small cockade is plastic, and the surface of the rank epaulette is covered with dark green fluff, which feels very good to the touch.
He couldn't wait to remove the big-brimmed hat and pin the cockade to it.
Yin Xiancong said: "Don't fool around, you are not qualified to wear this cockade now!" Put it away! ”
