Chapter 9: General, Soldier's Dream and Glory
Director Shi Hao did not speak, but looked at Director Li of the Political Office of the regiment beside him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Director Li was very surprised: Although before the forum, he specially arranged for the political instructors of the company to which the training team belonged to educate the local college student cadres and cadets who participated in the forum, but he was obviously not mentally prepared for the current situation. Hurriedly got up and explained softly to Director Hao, "I don't know the specific situation either. It's because I didn't do my job properly, and I didn't grasp the situation deeply and carefully. ”
Director Hao smiled and asked Song Feng, "Do you want to leave?" Specifically, what is the reason? Is it because I am afraid of hardship and tiredness, or I have been beaten and scolded and corporally punished, or is it something else? ”
Song Feng replied loudly: "Report to the chief, being a soldier has been my dream since I was a child. I am not afraid of hardship, and I am not afraid of tiredness. After coming to the unit, he was cared for and cared for by the company, and at the same time, he was also well trained. The class leader was very good to us, taught very seriously and strictly. But he never beat me up and scolded me, and cared about me like a big brother. ”
Hearing this, Director Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was not the reason in the group. Before organizing the training team, he held a special meeting for the cadres and backbone cadres participating in the training, and he would never allow beating, scolding, and corporal punishment. If something goes wrong in this regard, the regiment will definitely not be spared!
However, if this is not the reason, what other reason can make the student take the initiative to withdraw? He was also interested, staring at Song Feng equally intently, to see what earth-shattering words he would say next.
"Chief, I have specific difficulties in my family! Although it is said that 'loyalty and filial piety cannot be both' since ancient times, if a person cannot even be filial to his parents, then how can he talk about loyalty to the country? Country, I think to a certain extent, there is a country when there is a family, and a country is made up of families. He paused, then said, "I came to the barracks with the ambition to serve the country, but there are unforeseen circumstances, before I joined the army, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, and now she is undergoing chemotherapy, and she will have surgery when the conditions permit." I came from a family of workers, and my parents both worked in a heavy machinery factory, and the factory had not paid workers for two years. I want to return to the local area to develop, not to realize personal value, but to take care of my parents, and at the same time, to solve the family's financial difficulties by my own strength, self-reliance and self-improvement! ”
"And, even if I go to work locally, I can also support the cause of national defense! Working in a factory and manufacturing aircraft, tanks and other heavy equipment for the country is also contributing to the modernization of the army! Please consider my specific difficulties and agree to my application! After speaking, he took out the "Application for Discharge" that took a noon time to write, lined up, and presented the "Application for Discharge" to Director Hao on the rostrum with both hands.
Director Hao didn't take it, but motioned to Officer Zeng, who came to take it, and then turned his head and said to Song Feng: "Young man, I am touched by your filial piety, and I also appreciate your openness, Officer Zeng, you go and investigate this matter." If the situation is true, we are not reluctant to respect his life choice, which is a frank man's choice! However, why don't I take it, it is to leave room for you, and within ten days, if you regret your choice, you can withdraw the application. If you still insist on your decision, then, personally, I agree with your application, and we will report to the group army in the name of the party committee and withdraw as a special case! ”
Then, he asked: "Do the other comrades have any specific difficulties?" ”
Everyone replied in unison: "No!" ”
"Good!" , Director Hao said loudly, "Some time ago, a hit TV series was broadcast, called "Heroes Without Regrets". That is to say, since a person has chosen the career he loves, he must spend a lifetime of energy to fight for it and make some achievements, and he cannot regret it, and he will not regret it! However, in the eighteen palms of the martial arts learned by Jin Yong's martial arts character Guo Jing, the first move is called 'Kang Long has regrets'", from "Zhou Yi Qian", which originally meant that people in high positions should guard against arrogance, otherwise they will fail and regret it. This hexagram, in physical terms, has the effect that the extremes of things must be opposed. In terms of personnel, there is the phenomenon of happiness and sorrow. So, I would like to borrow that if people do anything without careful consideration, they can lead to failure or tragic consequences if they do not think carefully about the final outcome and consequences, as well as the possibilities and changes. However, after careful consideration and consideration of all possibilities, but still made a choice, there is nothing to regret. I think that when you come to the barracks, your choice, whether you have no regrets or regrets, are all heroes, young people, you have to have this kind of heroism. ”
The room erupted in thunderous applause.
In the following days, education, training, and physical fitness were carried out alternately.
After squad leader Shang went to the training team, our squad leader changed to a platoon leader named Li Bo. According to his own introduction, he graduated from the Binhai Army Academy, with a college degree and the rank of second lieutenant, and his family is from Heilongjiang. Although he also wanted to integrate with us, due to Shang Changhong's early leadership, our impression was still the deepest imprint left by the squad leader.
Although the training camp lasted for nearly two weeks, we were still ignorant about our future until this Wednesday afternoon.
It was an ordinary afternoon, and according to the plan, the first two hours were spent studying the rules and regulations.
This time, platoon commander Li Bo took the "Compilation of Policies," and he said, "What we want to study today is the 'Regulations on the Work of Military Ranks' and the 'Regulations on the Service of Officers'"
"In this way, we are all local college students, with high academic qualifications and quick receptivity, so let's change our study methods," platoon commander Li Bo raised the "Policy Compilation" in his hand and continued, "Let's all take turns to read it, and other comrades will listen carefully and remember it carefully." Then, if you don't understand any questions in your studies, you can discuss them with each other, or you can ask me, and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge. ”
This kind of self-directed learning method is a learning method that is often used in university classrooms for local college students, and everyone is familiar with it.
So, starting with Zhao Zhongkui, everyone read it in turn. Due to the length of the text, everyone read a few chapters,
It took more than 40 minutes for everyone to read the two regulations.
After learning these two regulations, the mystery that has been plaguing everyone's mind for days has finally been solved.
"Report platoon commander, can it be understood in this way, we graduated from university with a bachelor's degree, first awarded the rank of lieutenant, and then, four years later, promoted to captain, eight years later, promoted to major, twelve years later, promoted to lieutenant colonel, sixteen years to colonel, twenty years later, twenty years later, twenty-four years later, major general, twenty-eight years later, thirty-two years to general?" After the platoon commander said that it was free to discuss, Ondi preemptively raised the question.
Platoon Commander Li was amused and said with a smile, "Theoretically, how old were you at that time?" ”
Wendi pinched his fingers and counted, and said to himself, "This year, I'm twenty-four, plus thirty-two, oh my god, I can only be a general at fifty-six, which is too slow." Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Platoon Commander Li Bo couldn't hold back a laugh, changed to a serious tone, and said: "This military rank is a rank with a military rank, that is, you must first be promoted to the main post of a large military region, or to the chief of the General Staff, the director of the General Political Department, or the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, before you can be promoted to general." ”
"However, judging who is superior from military rank and position, as long as the military rank is high, it is superior, right?" Robin Li also asked, "But, in that case, I graduated from my bachelor's degree and want to be awarded the rank of lieutenant, but you are a second lieutenant, so won't I become a platoon commander and your superior?" Right. ”
"Well, you can't look at it that way. For example, although I am now a platoon commander with the rank of second lieutenant, not as high as your future rank, in the training team, my identity is squad leader, and your identity is a soldier, so now I am your superior. If one of you is awarded a lieutenant in the future, stay in our regiment. But you are still not my superior, and I am not your superior, but a peer. Because, our positions are all platoon commanders, you are a deputy company position, the rank of lieutenant, but a high position and a low position, holding the position of platoon commander. Unless you are promoted to the chief or deputy company commander, or the principal and deputy political instructors, you are the superior of my platoon commander. ”
"Platoon commander, then I studied mechanical design, and I may have to work in technology in the future. If I have been serving in the field army, what is the highest rank I can be promoted to in the unit below the division level? Qi Bin hurriedly asked.
Platoon Commander Li Bo replied: "If you are rated as an assistant engineer, you can be promoted to lieutenant to lieutenant colonel; If you continue to be rated as an engineer, you can be promoted to colonel; If you are rated as a professor-level senior engineer, you can be promoted to lieutenant general at the highest.
"Haha! The highest level of your skill will be promoted to lieutenant general, and you have to be under the control of our commanding officer, and we can be promoted to general at the highest! Yang Wenbin took over the conversation and said with a laugh.
Everyone laughed.
"However, the final rank of each military rank is determined by the position you hold, and the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of the post are regulated by the Regulations on the Service of Officers on Active Duty." Platoon Commander Li Bo gave everyone a popular science in a timely manner.
"Yes, I heard just now that there is a maximum age for holding positions at all levels, as if it is thirty years old for those who hold platoon-level positions; 35 years old for those holding company-level positions; Those who hold battalion-level positions are forty years old; those holding regimental positions, forty-five years old; 50 years of age for those holding divisional positions; 55 years of age for those holding military-level positions; Those who hold posts at the level of a large military region shall be 63 years old for their deputy position and 65 years old for their main position. Li Kun said, "Then if I don't mention it as a platoon commander, will I be able to change jobs at the age of thirty?" ”
Li Bo replied: "You are a deputy company platoon commander, and you belong to a high rank and a low position, and the age of change of job is calculated according to the number of consecutive posts. ”
"Oh, I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.
"So this batch of recruits for us is a supplementary source?" Zhao Zhongkui said, "I noticed when I was studying just now that there are three sources for officers below the battalion level: those who hold command posts below the battalion level should be trained by junior command academies; Outstanding soldiers are trained in academies and can be promoted to officers. When the needs of officers cannot be met through training and promotion at military academies and academies, outstanding soldiers may be selected to be promoted to officers after passing the training at other training institutions designated by the PLA General Headquarters in peacetime, and graduates of institutions of higher learning and professional and technical personnel from outside the military may also be recruited to enlist in the army and appointed as officers. ”
"Then we are science and technology, and the highest age for ordinary tenure is according to this article," Weng Di pointed to the "Policy Compilation" and read, "The maximum age for professional and technical officers to serve in peacetime: forty years old for those who hold junior professional and technical positions; Those who hold intermediate professional and technical positions are forty-eight years old; Those who hold senior professional and technical positions are 60 years old. ”
"I have a question," Sun Jian said, raising his hand, "what do I need if I want to become a general, or at worst retire in the army?" ”
Platoon Commander Li said: "If you want to retire in the army, you must meet one of any conditions; First, officers holding posts at or above the division level and senior professional and technical posts will be resettled for retirement after they retire from active service. Second, officers who have not reached the maximum age for active service and who have basically lost their ability to work will be resettled for retirement after being discharged from active service. He smiled, "The first one, it's more difficult, and the second one, it's also more difficult!" ”
"You're the second," everyone laughed and joked with Sun Jian.
Who knew that he said seriously: "My goal is the first one, after graduating and choosing to be a soldier, my classmates will call me a military commander." My ambition is to be at least a military commander, preferably to the rank of commander or commissar of a military district. ”
This time, no one laughed, they all applauded, for this ambition, everyone here enlisted in the original intention of this idea.
