Chapter 11 The new company commander arrives

The wine sobers up and the people disperse. In the afternoon of the next day, after the handover between the old company commander and the new company commander, he left the company. When leaving, all the officers and men of our company lined up at the gate to see them off, and the instructor organized a brief farewell ceremony. I don't remember what the instructor said, but I was really sad at the time, and this sadness only happened when I graduated from university. At that time, when we were in the military academy, we were a team of more than 100 people, and we studied and trained together for four years, and when we were really separated, we felt particularly reluctant in our hearts, because we all knew that this time we were separated, and we might never see each other again in the future. Farewell to the company commander, although he is still in the same regiment, after all, the position is different, the relationship is different, and the relationship will naturally change.

The company commander faced the farewell of the officers and soldiers of the whole company, he felt very uncomfortable, and there were a little tears in his eyes, looking at everyone, the company commander stood in front of the whole company and made the last speech, the company commander said: "Comrades, here, I have been fighting for more than three years, it is the experience in the third company that has made me continue to grow and progress, I will never forget the days in the third company, and I will never forget the days with everyone. I am very grateful to the Third Company for training me and the officers and men of the Third Company for their support to me. I believe that the triple is the best! The officers and men of the third company are the best! I also hope that Sanlian will become more and more brilliant with the joint efforts of everyone! ”

The company commander's words were impassioned, and everyone was enthusiastic, and everyone was eager to immediately follow the company commander to run another ten kilometers, and then go to the mountain twice. However, there was no chance. After speaking, the company commander left. The pace is vigorous and strides forward. The company commander didn't look back, he waved his hand and left.

This is my first company commander after I came to the army, and it has had a particularly profound impact on me, and even on my entire military career.

The old company commander is gone, and the new company commander is here. For a unit, one of the things that has the greatest impact is the replacement of the chief officer, and each chief officer has his own management methods and work style. After the change of company commander, we, as officers and men of the company, must adapt to the style of the new company commander as soon as possible.

Our new company commander's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Yuming, who was transferred from the military sub-division and belongs to the airborne company commander. It is said that Company Commander Zhao has a big relationship in his family, and his father is the deputy division commander of a certain unit, and he has been working in the organ since he graduated, and he has never worked in a grass-roots company at all. This is the case with our new company commander, who is said to have been in the main company for two years and is going to come to the company to serve as a company commander for one year, and then he will be promoted to the deputy battalion.

After listening to Yang Tian tell me this, I can't describe my feelings, how to say it? It is a deep helplessness and submission to the real society, there is no way, this is the reality. I have heard that some people with family connections are often transferred to the army, and they will work here this year and there next year, and they will be transferred here and there, and they will be promoted from platoon commander to battalion commander in three to five years. As for us, rural children, we have nothing to do with it, so we rely on ourselves, and we will burn high incense if we can be promoted to a company commander for three or five years.

Hey, the reality is like this, what can we do, no matter how much we complain, we can't change the reality. Then we can only work hard within our own ability, and we can only rely on the acquired efforts if we can't do it congenitally, who makes us not have a great Lao Tzu, then we can only rely on ourselves to struggle.

When the new company commander came to the company, he was not in a hurry to carry out his work and did not say much. Just when we thought that the new company commander was here to make the transition, and he also thought that more things were better than less, and he left after a year, the new company commander began to show his strength and really work. This is a completely different person from the old company commander, and the new company commander's unique management style makes it difficult for everyone to adapt to it, and it almost collapses us.

The first time the new company commander arranged work for the whole company was a week after he came to the company, and it was Saturday, although it was a weekend, but in order to prepare for the assessment, the instructor still arranged for everyone to conduct training on Saturday morning. Just brought back, the company commander came out of the building, and he stood in front of the team and made his first speech.

The new company commander looked at everyone with a serious expression, glanced around, and seemed to want to see everyone one by one, and then the company commander said: "I have been in the company for a week, I have been observing, and I have found that our company is indeed an excellent company, a company with a glorious tradition, training hard, a solid work style, high morale of officers and men, and high spirits. ”

Hearing the words of the company commander, each of us felt very proud, because the company commander praised our company, however, before we could be happy, the company commander's tone changed.

The company commander continued: "However, after observation, I found that the biggest problem in your company is that the management is loose and the standards are not high. It can even be said that there is no decent management, how can there be a military unit like yours? It's so much worse. ”

The company commander's words made our faces ugly, looking at the company commander's disdainful face, I wanted to go up and tear his face apart, and say to him loudly, don't talk nonsense, our company is the best. However, none of us dared to do this, because the troops were the most hierarchical, the most disciplined, after all, it was the company commander who was standing in front to speak, the commander of a company, and he was the largest in the company.

Speaking of which, it was not over, the company commander continued: "Your standards are really too bad, don't be unconvinced, I will give you a few examples to make it clear." For example, your sheets, although they are very flat, but is this standard the standard of the army, there are no edges and corners at all, and they look round, is this the standard? For another example, the cleaning tools placed in your bathroom, the black and white mops are not uniform and unclean at all, is this the standard? Another example, in your vegetable patch, although the grass is very clean, the furrow and ridge are uneven and crooked, is this the standard? There are many, many more, do you need me to say more? I can say that you don't have standards at all, you don't know what standards are. But it doesn't matter, since I'm here and become your company commander, then I have an obligation and responsibility to teach you what standards are. This weekend, our main job is to raise the bar! ”

Although we are very unconvinced, what the company commander said is indeed true, and when we think about it, our standards are indeed a little lower. Actually, what makes me most angry is not the company commander's criticism of us, there is a problem to be criticized, this is a matter of course, and there is nothing to be angry about. What makes me most angry is that in the words of the company commander, one by one by you, one by you, is he not our company commander.

After lunch, I told Yang Tian my opinion, Yang Tian told me a piece of news, Yang Tian said to me: "This company commander and our old company commander graduated from the same class, and after graduation, they both went to the regiment for internships, and after the internship, he went to the division office, and our company commander was a platoon commander in the company." The relationship between the two has not been very good, and no one is used to the temper of our old company commander. And this company commander has a relationship in his family, and no one is convinced. In this way, the two disagreed with each other, and after a few disputes, they almost started. This time, the new company commander came to pick up our old company commander, isn't that obviously not as good as the old company commander, can he feel comfortable, it is more depressed than eating flies. That's why he criticized our company so harshly, in fact, he was criticizing the old company commander in disguise. ”

After listening to Yang Tian's news, I didn't speak, in fact, my heart was full of complaints, full of complaints, but I restrained my desires, I hinted to myself, just do my own. After a while, I said, "What's the solution, whoever made him a company commander can only follow along." ”

Yang Tian sighed and said the same: "Yes, I can only follow along." Could it be that we still don't listen to the company commander and rebel? It's still us who are unlucky, and the relationship between people is hard. ”

In the afternoon, we were pulled to the vegetable patch during the original break. According to the requirements of the company commander, we must use bricks to flatten all the ditches and ridges in the vegetable field, to level them like a concrete floor, to pull the line, to use a ruler, and to exhaust all methods, that is, to raise the standard.

We each carried a brick and each of us divided two ridges. Although I am a platoon commander, under the company commander, I am all soldiers, and I have to work. My original plan for a 10-kilometer run had to be cancelled at short notice. Carrying bricks and squatting on the ground, I patted the ground one after another, from the ridge to the ditch, the front and the side. Suddenly, I had the idea that I really wanted to flatten the earth with bricks.

Afternoon tasks are outdoors and evening missions are indoors. In the afternoon, the vegetable patch is flattened, and in the evening, the bed is ironed. The company commander demanded that all people's quilts and bed sheets must be ironed evenly, including all clothes and pants, and pants should be ironed out of trouser stitches, including training uniforms.

In fact, we usually iron clothes, but we also only iron regular clothes, and we look upright in regular clothes in meetings and classes, but we have never ironed training clothes. Do you still aim with trouser seams? The straighter the seam of the trousers, the more accurate the shot?

The soldiers in the class were full of complaints and complaints, especially the squad leader Chen Li, who could be called the king of complaints, and said strange words one after another.

He said: "The old company commander focused on training and tactics. And the new company commander grasped this strategy, when fighting, everyone carried a brick, and other units dug bunkers to set up obstacles, so we just slapped the ground, flattened the ground, people went up to skid, cars went up to spin, even if the tank drove up, it couldn't catch the ground. That's strategy. ”

He also said: "In the future, when training, each of us must put an iron in our shoulder bag, and we must take off our pants and iron them all over again, and we must always ensure that there are trouser stitches." A soldier without trouser stitches is not a qualified soldier! ”

His words were echoed by the rest of the class, and I was amused to laugh. It can be seen that the new company commander still has a great impact on us, and for me, at least the training time has been greatly reduced.
