Chapter 676: The Great President and His Soldiers
"Hey, keep it up!"
"There, ***, there, two more people!"
"***, what are you doing? The old ladies are stronger than you! ”
The squad leader's voice grew louder and louder each time, pointing at the soldiers, constantly directing the soldiers in the squad to put a thick and large beam into the house.
The soldiers worked hard and sweated.
"What are you doing here?"
A voice sounded behind him, and the squad leader turned his head, and saw that it was a young man who was not much older than him, and he lowered his face impatiently and said:
"Didn't you see it? We're on the beam here! ”
The young man said "oh": "The soldiers are working very hard, what about you?" Why don't you do it? ”
The squad leader glanced at him sideways, and pointed to his epaulettes proudly: "Didn't you see it?" I'm the class leader! ”
"Oh." The young man said "oh" again, and did not say anything more, but took off his coat, walked over, and did it with the soldiers.
After about twenty minutes of drying, the beam was finally finished, and the young man was covered with sweat, he wiped the sweat, put on his coat, and then said with a smile:
"Mr. squad leader, if you have any more work to do in the future, if you still lack manpower, then, you can come to me, my place is not far from here."
"Looking for you?" The squad leader glanced at the man suspiciously: "Are you?" ”
The young man smiled faintly: "My name is Wang Hengyue." ”
The squad leader of "Wang Hengyue" read the name again, and suddenly froze: "President Wang? ”
Wang Hengyue smiled so casually: "It seems to be." ”
"Great, great president!"
The squad leader was stupefied and hurriedly stood upright.
All the soldiers were also frightened, they never thought that the person who helped them work together turned out to be the current president of the Republic of China and the generalissimo of the navy, land and air force!
There was a wave of dizziness in the squad leader's mind, it's over, it's over. It's completely over. Not only was he arrested by the president, but he also watched the president do things without being indifferent.
The position of squad leader will definitely not be kept, but I am very satisfied if I don't go to prison
"Don't be afraid, I won't punish you." As if seeing the squad leader's thoughts, Wang Hengyue smiled and said, "Although your approach is a little inappropriate, it is understandable that the squad leader ordered his subordinates to do things. ”
"I'm sorry, President, I was wrong." The class leader said loudly.
"It's a little bit wrong, it's harmless." Wang Hengyue smiled and looked to the side: "Who doesn't?" Thanks, who can give me saliva to drink? ”
The squad leader hurriedly rushed to get a teapot of water. Immediately I realized that something was wrong, this was my own cup.
Wang Hengyue took the cup without disgust at all, and drank it with a "knock".
The squad leader moved another chair: "President, please take a seat." ”
Wang Hengyue smiled and waved his hand, beckoning the soldiers to sit down on the ground together: "I don't pay so much attention, I am also a soldier, and I can eat and sleep wherever I go as a soldier." ”
Seeing that the big president has no temper and no arrogance at all. The squad leader and the soldiers were also relieved.
Wang Hengyue was also idle today, walking around outside the Grand Presidential Palace, who would have thought that he would encounter this incident. He really didn't want to punish the squad leader at all. The squad leader, after all, is also an "official", and it is not a big deal to exercise some of his own privileges.
Wang Hengyue had a special sense of intimacy when he saw someone wearing a military uniform.
If there were no such soldiers, there would be no place for us today!
"What's your name?" Wang Hengyue ordered the shift leader. …,
"Report to the president, my name is Luo Xiangdan!"
"Luo Xiangdan, okay." Wang Hengyue nodded: "How long have you been a soldier?" ”
"Report the Great President. It's been a year! ”
"A year? Then you won't be able to rise quickly. Wang Hengyue said jokingly.
"Yes. Because I have never had the opportunity to go to the front! ”
Wang Hengyue couldn't help but laugh again: "You, even if you go to the front line, you have no chance of promotion, because you will be killed as soon as you go to the front line." ”
Luo Xiangdan was stunned for a moment, but there was obvious unconvincing in his eyes.
Wang Hengyue smiled: "Don't be unconvinced, I have fought and fought many battles, but you haven't, I know what's going on on the battlefield, and I know what's going on with them even more."
Wang Hengyue pointed at the soldiers: "What are they?" Your subordinates? You're wrong! They are indeed your men. But once on the battlefield, they are your brothers, brothers who can block bullets for you at critical moments and save your life! A commander must have the majesty of a commander, but loving his own soldiers is also the most important thing to do as an officer. Soldiers who are not sympathetic to themselves in peacetime, are there people who are willing to die for you on the battlefield? Is anyone willing to block bullets for you? ”
Luo Xiangdan fell silent.
Wang Hengyue continued: "On the battlefield, you are a whole. No matter who is in danger, as a comrade-in-arms, you should pounce on it without hesitation and help your comrades-in-arms at all costs. But it's all built on the previous ones. Luo Xiangdan, to be a good squad leader. In the future, I will be a good platoon commander and company commander."
"Yes, I see. The Great President. Luo Xiangdan was a little shy: "I was wrong." ”
"Who is not from recruit to veteran?" Wang Hengyue was still there smiling: "What are you afraid of if you are wrong?" It doesn't matter how big a mistake you make in peacetime, the key is that you must not make mistakes on the battlefield, once you make a mistake on the battlefield, it will cost your life, and you will never have any chance to correct it."
Luo Xiangdan and his companions nodded vigorously.
Wang Hengyue's words changed: "You are all soldiers, the most important part of the country, and the cornerstone of the country. From the time I was in the first uprising in Rong County, until the unification of Sichuan, the southwest, and the whole country, I have never left the help of the soldiers. A soldier is different from a politician, and a qualified soldier has no politics in his eyes, and only how to fight a battle or a war in their hearts is in their hearts. There's no intrigue, that's the politicians' business"
He said very slowly and solemnly: "We can even say that a soldier must be simple, as simple as a drop of transparent water, without any impurities, he does not think about why, but just chooses to be worthy of the military uniform on his body, worthy of the word 'soldier'." Don't think too much about it, it's not good for you. ”
Wang Hengyue unreservedly revealed what he was thinking in front of the soldiers.
He is willing to communicate with the soldiers, in front of them, he does not have to hide anything, there is no intrigue, there is no mutual scheming, especially in front of such a group of ordinary soldiers.
"I remember when I was on the battlefield, someone asked me a question. Ah, at that time, I led my brothers to repel an attack by the Qing army, as if it was yesterday" Wang Hengyue's mind seemed to return to the years of the year:
"I remember the man asking me, 'Why was I so brave in the fight, and my legs and stomach shivered involuntarily after the battle?' I, too, told this man, 'When you see a pot eating, a bunk sleeping, and a beating brother on the training ground falling beside you one by one, some of them can never get up again, and they don't even say a word.' You can only watch them die, but you can't do anything about it. At that time, there was an idea in my mind -- **Your ancestor's, Lao Tzu fought with you! Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. ’”…,
The soldiers' words were all attracted by the president, and Wang Hengyue said slowly:
"That's what I thought back then. So I wasn't afraid of anything on the battlefield, but as soon as I got off the battlefield, I was really scared, scared to death, and even I wondered why I wasn't afraid of death at all before? Later, after the man asked me this question, I suddenly figured it out! ”
He took out a pack of cigarettes and walked around:
"It has been said that war is the continuation of politics, and that the military may only be a tool for politicians to achieve their goals. That's right. But for every ordinary soldier, it is his duty to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield. As long as he does not violate the minimum professional ethics of a soldier, he should be respected and remembered as he deserves, and no one can forget the meritorious deeds of a soldier.
What do soldiers rely on, soldiers rely on spirit, they would rather die standing than live on their knees, they would rather die than be scared to death. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. Some people usually swear and act like a hero, but once they go to the battlefield, their legs and stomach will tremble, and they will not be able to straighten their waists. Usually they seem to be silent, but when they do go to the battlefield, they are often the bravest and least afraid of death."
Wang Hengyue talked a lot with the soldiers, and even had dinner here, until Ah Le, Chen Lifu, Chiang Kai-shek and others, who found out that the president was missing, hurriedly found here, and then found that they had forgotten the time.
Wang Hengyue stood up and moved his muscles: "Okay, it's time for me to go." Today I have eaten your meal here, and in the future, if you wish, come to me, and I will invite you to eat. However, I hope that every word I have spoken today has been taken to heart. ”
"Yes, President!" Luo Xiangdan and his brothers replied loudly: "Please rest assured that as long as we are alive in this life, we will not forget the words of the president!" ”
Wang Hengyue firmly believed.
He believed that none of his soldiers, nay, Chinese soldiers, were of a bad race, and that they would not hesitate to sacrifice their precious lives when they were really needed.
This is the duty of a soldier without hesitation!
