Chapter 170: Please decide

The guards brought the "weekly report" of the "Military Committee", Guan Zhuofan opened it, and first looked at the "abridgement" -- that is, the table of contents, and read them carefully one by one, which two cases Wall was referring to, and Guan Zhuofan knew in his heart. Then I found the text of the case and looked at it carefully.

The first case occurred in the 15th Regiment of the Fourth Division, a squad leader surnamed Feng, during training, beat a soldier surnamed Li, causing Li to break his ribs and spurt blood from his mouth. Afterwards, the doctor examined the soldier's organs and found that his organs had been damaged, and after a year and a half of recovery, he was either discharged from the army or transferred to logistics, in short, his physical condition no longer allowed him to remain in the combat unit.

The case was reported to the "Military Council" by the "Soldiers' Committee".

The second case occurred in the Third Regiment of the First Division, a company commander named Ma Jinzhong, who was passing by Tianjin on Friday, hoping to see him. He sneaked out of the barracks to meet his relatives, and when he returned to the camp, he was bumped into by pickets. If Ma Jinzhong was just an ordinary soldier, it would be fine, but it would not be a big deal if he was confined for a few days. But he is a company commander, and now things are going to get into trouble.

Well? How did this Ma Jinzhong's name seem to have been seen somewhere?

After Guan Zhuofan finished reading it, he closed the file and asked calmly, "What?" Is there any controversy over the handling of these two cases by the 'Military Council'? ”

"Yes, and it's big," Wall said. Let's start with the first case. There are two main issues in this case, the first - does the 'soldiers' council' have the power to report the case? ”

As mentioned earlier, the "Soldiers' Council" is not a specific body, but a general term for the group of "Soldiers' Councillors". The soldiers of each squad nominate a "soldier representative" on their own. The "soldiers' representatives" of each company nominate a "soldiers' commissioner" on their own. Form a "soldiers' council".

In addition to holding "quarterly work meetings" and "annual summary and mobilization meetings" with the regiment as a unit and presided over by the regiment commander. There is no meeting itself, and the specific working method is as follows: Each "soldier committee member" contacts the "soldier representatives" of his company to understand the situation, and then once a month, he directly "reports to the military committee" at the company, battalion, regiment, and division levels.

The content of the report is two:

First, outside of training and operations. Did the commander beat the soldiers?

Second, did the commander withhold the soldiers' salaries and food?

In principle, other matters will not be accepted.

The "Soldiers' Committee" reported matters were written as "Abridged" by the "Military Committee" and attached to the "Weekly Bulletin" submitted to the Chairman of the Committee

sue". Although there are hundreds of "soldiers' committees," there is "substance" in the matters reported -- that is, there are very few cases of "commanders beating soldiers and deducting food and wages"; If there is, the document will make a special mark, so that it is clear at a glance. Therefore, although Chairman Guan is busy with everything, he will not fail to see it.

Guan Zhuofan opened the "Appendix" of the "Soldiers' Committee's Monthly Report Abridgement". I found the "15th Regiment of the 4th Division", and sure enough.

I'm done. He nodded and said, "This case happened during training, so there is this controversy?" ”

Wall also nodded and said, "Yes." The second controversy is also related to this. Although our army expressly prohibits the abuse of soldiers

Soldiers, but since this case happened during training, some people said, and the marshal also said, 'During training, some soldiers are a little stupid, some soldiers are lazy, and it is inevitable to kick their feet in a hurry'. Therefore, it is inconvenient to delve into this matter. ”

Guan Zhuofan snorted: "I really said this sentence." ”

Wall said: "After the investigation, when Li was training, there was indeed a plot of not listening to the command and contradicting the squad leader, and it was not once or twice. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Interestingly, in this case, among the several members of the 'Military Committee', Jiang De advocated severe punishment, and Yixan and Bai Qiwen advocated light handling. ”

Guan Zhuofan understood what he meant by "interesting": Jiang De was the commander of the Fourth Division, that is, "his own people" advocated severe punishment, and "outsiders" advocated light handling.

"What do other people think?"

"Forrest is a loyal man, I can see that he sympathizes with Li in his heart, but this Li is indeed a 'thorn in the head' who does not obey discipline, so he feels that what Ixan and Bai Qiwen said is also reasonable, and he is in a dilemma, so he has to remain neutral; Anderson -- you know, he didn't become a Chinese citizen, and when it comes to this kind of thing, the old man is very low-key, and rarely expresses his attitude clearly. ”

"What about Daniel Zhang?"

Wall smiled slightly and said, "Lao Zhang? Hehe, don't look at him as rude, in fact, he is the most slippery, and he has only one opinion: please decide! ”

"What about you?"

"Needless to say? I strongly support Jiang De. ”

That is, two to two.

"Well, this is the first case, what about the second?"

"The controversy in the second case is simpler. Yixuan, I don't know if you have any impressions? This Ma Jinzhong is the old foundation of your infantry horse team -- you brought it to Shanghai from Beijing. ”

Guan Zhuofan let out a soft "oh", no wonder he seemed to have seen this name somewhere.

The more than 600 people he brought out from Beijing have fought Hong Yang, gone to the United States to quell the rebellion, suppressed the twist, leveled the return, and conquered the Japanese in the past few years, and there are not many left. This Ma Jinzhong, who has died for the rest of his life, has only become a company commander so far, and the speed of promotion is really not fast.

Ma Jinzhong is from the Third Regiment of the First Division, and the Third Regiment is the old foundation of the Kezi Regiment, well, this Ma Jinzhong was originally with Ixan.

"So, it's Ixan who advocates 'doing it lightly'?"

"Yes, Ixan said, this Ma Jinzhong is actually very capable of fighting, but unfortunately his luck is too bad, as long as he is promoted, he will encounter bad luck, and he fell down again with a pop, so many ups and downs, until now, he is still a company commander. If you are taken down again because you secretly went out of the camp, it will be really unlucky. Therefore, I hope to give him a chance, not to move his position as company commander, and to be locked up for a few days. ”

It's not "too bad luck", it's obvious, it's that the organizational discipline is too poor, and the brain is also insufficient. It is not surprising that he violated military discipline, but as a company commander, he sneaked out of the battalion, and the wrong "grade" was so low, alas, it can be imagined that he had all kinds of things before.

"Also," Wall hesitated slightly, "he's from the Han Army." ”

Guan Zhuofan's eyes flashed, and he said, "What about the others?" What do you think of this case? ”

"This case, there was no controversy, Ma Jinzhong is not an ordinary soldier, if he doesn't lead by example, how can he lead a company? Of course, this case cannot be handled like an ordinary soldier! However, his status is special, and the rest of the committee members, including Ma Jinzhong's division commander Forrestal, are not easy to say. In the end, it was decided, as in the first case, to 'submit it to the marshal'. ”

Guan Zhuofan said "hey".

Wall said: "Ixan also said that Ma Jinzhong has not seen his family for a long time, his home is in Beijing, Tianjin is not far from Beijing, but he has never seen his relatives, and he feels quite uncomfortable - if the station is far away from home, there is no thought!" When his family visits, he will be affectionate, and he can't hold it for a while, which is understandable. ”

According to the Xuan military regulations, only officers at and above the battalion level have "family leave", and Ma Jinzhong is only a company commander, so there is no "family leave". This is because, in this era, the transportation is very underdeveloped, and the vast majority of the Chinese soldiers in the Xuan Army are southerners.

As for the foreign soldiers, it is even more needless to say.

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said: "Listening to this tone, some people seem to have some opinions about our closed management." ”

Wall's face was stern: "Yixuan, this is what I want to remind you to pay special attention to!" Ixan is not the only one who thinks this way! Many people are secretly muttering: Why are you still locking us up every day if we are not at war now? Why train endlessly every day? ”

After a long while, Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "Yuancheng, you're right, these two cases are indeed very representative, and it's really time for me to come out and speak." Okay, convene the officers at or above the deputy regimental level, and tomorrow morning, the small station meeting! ”
