Ma Youwei was very efficient, and he called the next morning: "Xiaoshan, are you free at noon today?" I want to take you to meet an editor of a military newspaper. ”

"Free." Chen Beiming replied immediately.

There is no doubt that publishing articles in the military newspaper is his first priority at present, and even if there is something really going on, he must try to push it off.

At 12:30 p.m., he came to the restaurant that Ma Youwei said as promised.

His ass hasn't been heated yet, and Ma Youwei is coming.

"Teacher Ma." Chen Beiming stood up.

"So early?" Ma Youwei was stunned when he saw him.

The editor of the military newspaper actually arrived at one o'clock.

"I'm afraid of traffic jams on the road." Chen Beiming said simply.

He is a person who does not like to be late, and would rather be half an hour or even an hour early for this.

There is no doubt that Ma Youwei is very satisfied with his performance in this regard.

In fact, Ma Youwei forgot that for soldiers, punctuality is just a basic requirement, and it is nothing.

"Xiaoshan, give." Ma Youwei handed over a box.

It is a native product of Chen Beiming's hometown.

So Chen Beiming was very strange.

What does Ma Youwei mean?

Ma Youwei explained with a smile: "The editor-in-chief Zhang Wenhua we will meet in a while is a very influential editor of the military newspaper, this is a native product of your hometown, it is not expensive, more than forty yuan, wait a while you give this to him, express your heart, the courtesy is light and affectionate, so that at least he can feel that you value him." ”

I have to admit that Ma Youwei is indeed much older than Chen Beiming in these aspects.

It's mostly a matter of mentality.

In the previous life, Chen Beiming was high and respected, and others begged him, where would he have such considerations.

But now it's different.

The identity is not the same.

Chen Beiming hurriedly took it: "Thank you, Mr. Ma, thank you, Mr. Ma." Then he hurriedly took out his wallet and was about to give the money to Ma Youwei.

Ma Youwei glared at him: "Xiaoshan, I'll be angry if I do this again, it's not a lot of money, thirty or forty yuan, what's the matter, you have to make it clear to me about this kind of thing?" ”

Chen Beiming smiled, a little embarrassed.

Ma Youwei smiled: "I have inquired about it, this Zhang Wenhua is still very good, and he is still a soldier, so he will definitely not accept things that are too valuable and violate discipline."

This bag of things is a local product of your hometown, and it is worthless, but your mind is in it, and you will say in a moment that you brought it to him, and he will definitely accept it.

Well, people's hearts are made of flesh, so his senses for you will be much better, and you are both from the general political family, so when the time comes, show him your works, and he will definitely agree. Oh by the way, show me the article you wrote, and I'll see if there's a problem? ”

Chen Beiming hurriedly took out the article he had written and handed it to Ma Youwei.

This article of his is a commentary, mainly to express some of his views on some problems in the current army, entitled "Comrades, Bright Sword!" 》。

"Xiaoshan, yes, you have a really good topic, which can not only attract the attention of readers, but also fit the theme, and pave the way for the introduction of the next "Bright Sword", okay." Ma Youwei just read the topic, and it was a sycophant, but it was just right and on the point.

At the beginning of the article, it was written: "On January 21, 1940, a certain independent regiment of our army was surrounded by the enemy and fell into an extremely difficult situation.

Faced with an almost death-like situation, Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment, never flinched at all, nor did he have any fear!

At the time of the decisive battle, he jumped to the top and shouted: "Comrades, I was told just now that it is the enemy's most elite troops that surround us at this moment, and my answer is only one sentence, what is elite? Lao Tzu is the elite!

It was precisely by relying on this spirit of daring to show his sword and daring to be fearless of everything that Li Yunlong was able to lead the independent regiment to defeat the enemy's siege again and again, and finally turned defeat into victory, completely annihilating the enemy's elite and capturing the enemy's leaders alive.

Although the above story is only a fragment of the long military novel "Bright Sword" serialized in October magazine recently, it is this fragment that reveals to us why our army was able to defeat a powerful enemy before the founding of the country!

However, with the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, we have to admit that the spirit of bright sword has become less and less valued in the ranks of our army. ”

Ma Youwei read the whole article at a very fast speed, but he read it carefully again, and then first made a sycophant, but this time, he didn't just compliment: "Xiaoshan, I think your last two paragraphs should be slightly modified, I think you should write like this......"

Ma Youwei said his thoughts one by one without reservations.

Chen Beiming listened and thought so, so he immediately took out a pen and paper and revised and transcribed on the table.

So when Zhang Wenhua came in, he was still working hard to write.

At about ten o'clock, Zhang Wenhua walked in.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Ma Youwei patted Chen Beiming for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted him.

Chen Beiming hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Zhang Wenhua with a smile: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I am Chen Beiming, the author of "Bright Sword", with a pen name Xiaoshan. ”

After a few simple greetings, Chen Beiming hurriedly continued to write.

"What to write?" Zhang Wenhua asked with interest.

"Just now, Mr. Ma helped me point out a few things that are not very good, and I am revising them, and I will be fine soon." Chen Beiming stopped his pen and replied.

He transcribed the article in three minutes at most, and then he respectfully handed the article to Zhang Wenhua with both hands: "Teacher Zhang, please correct it." ”

Zhang Wenhua nodded, took the manuscript paper and looked at it.

"Huh? Your handwriting is beautiful! Zhang Wenhua just took a look at it, and he was surprised.

Ma Youwei helped beside him: "Xiaoshan's characters are mainly very neat and generous, just like his personality, oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang, I heard that this font was created by himself." ”

"Really?" Zhang Wenhua's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Beiming and asked.

"Actually, I just wrote it for fun, mainly because I think it looks better to write like this." Chen Beiming scratched his head and pretended to be embarrassed.

Zhang Wenhua nodded and continued to look down, he read the manuscript very quickly, and this manuscript was not very long, and it took two minutes to read it.

He didn't say anything the whole time, but the smile on his face gradually increased.

In the end, he put the manuscript away seriously, and then raised his head to look at Chen Beiming: "Xiaoshan, your manuscript is not bad, I'll go back and help you change a few more places, and then you can publish it in the newspaper." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your affirmation." Chen Beiming was overjoyed and immediately stood up and bowed.

The reason why today's manuscript can be passed so smoothly is that Chen Beiming is very attentive and hard-working, and the other is that it is the editor-in-chief of "October" who helps to match, with this favor, Zhang Wenhua will naturally open the door to convenience, of course, there is another reason, that is, Chen Beiming's identity as the general government, because Zhang Wenhua has also been in the general government.

Zhang Wenhua smiled: "In addition, Xiaoshan, our military newspaper is going to do a special topic on the ideological and cultural construction of the whole army in the past two days, and I want to take the lead in doing this with the creative department of the General Political Department. ”
