Chapter 69
"Dispatcher, it's done. Didn't find any problems. The fighters said after completing their inspection.
Mei Chuan nodded hesitantly slightly, there should be no problem with the inspection he personally attended. However, that indescribable feeling cannot be completely ruled out. "Add double posts." Umegawa gave the order, and then led the team to the deck.
Until the next afternoon, when the fleet arrived at the dock in Fengtai County, Mei Chuan was not able to liberate himself from such an uneasy state. Even after handing over the prisoners and the fleet was ordered to correct on the spot, Umegawa still felt very uneasy. He didn't want to rest, so he simply got out of the cabin and started cleaning.
The captives were not passengers, after all, and they were forcibly held in such a small space, and of course it was impossible to pay attention to any hygiene. The cabin smelled of human bodies and feces. Such a taste is not surprising to Umegawa. In fact, these days, he has been dealing with such smells every day. Carrying buckets of water into the cabin, and then scrubbing the wooden surfaces with brushes, Umegawa suddenly felt like he wanted to go back to Japan. The mood gradually calmed down.
"Maybe I'm not fit to be the commander of this fleet at all." Umegawa finally came up with such an answer. When working with comrades in the agricultural and sideline departments, Umegawa felt that it was very hard. But at that time, you didn't have to think about anything, you just had to work and work. And after becoming the fleet dispatcher, Umegawa felt that he couldn't get into this role at all.
"I'm probably just good for some farm work." For such a self-perception, Mei Chuan has no resistance at all. Compared with the work of ten days ago, although every day is heavy physical labor, I am very peaceful in my heart. Whether it's dumping feed with a bucket of swill, or doing farm work with a hoe, there is always peace of mind. Because the purpose and result of labor in this way Umegawa is clear. But commanding a small fleet, even a small fleet of two ships, the mentality of having to prepare for all kinds of unknown things all the time, Umegawa can't adapt to it no matter what.
Thinking of this, Mei Chuan finally made up his mind, and after cleaning up for a while, he went to Chen Ke to propose to return to work in the logistics department. Although the result of such a request is likely to be that there is only such a job to do in this life. But Umegawa didn't have the slightest regret in his heart.
After the cabin was cleaned, Umegawa sent his thoughts to practice.
Chen Ke met with Mei Chuan, and after listening to Mei Chuan's request to return to work in the logistics department, he was a little surprised. During the period of the vigorous expansion of the insurance regiment, as long as there were some self-motivated comrades, they all submitted requests for transfer to work in the military department through various channels. The reason why Chen Ke chose Mei Chuan was because Mei Chuan had never made such a request. Chen Ke felt that Umegawa Kamiyoshi, a comrade who worked in a down-to-earth manner, was more reliable, so he wanted to give him a chance to exercise. I didn't expect Umegawa to request to return to work in the agricultural and sideline departments so quickly. This is somewhat unexpected.
"Comrade Umegawa, you must know that there is a need for manpower in the organization now." Chen Ke tried to persuade Mei Chuan.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I'm suitable for military work. The pressure was too much for me to bear. Umegawa lowered his head and said respectfully.
Hearing the word "too much pressure", Chen Ke suddenly felt a burst of irritability in his heart. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes, too much pressure. Who doesn't feel too stressed? As the first secretary of the People's Party, Chen Ke's pressure is greater than that of Mei Chuan, and I don't know how much. Umegawa felt pressured, so he could apply to return to the low-pressure logistics department. What can Chen Ke do if he feels extremely stressed? Not only could he not be a deserter, but he also had to withstand the pressure and move on.
However, Chen Ke did not want to reject Mei Chuan's request, if a person had self-knowledge, at least he would not spoil his own affairs. What I am afraid of are those comrades who do not have self-knowledge, and who have to forcibly do some work that cannot bear the work themselves.
"Okay. Comrade Umegawa, I agree with your application. You go and hand over the work to Comrade Shang Yuan now. Then you can go back to the back office. Chen Ke said.
When Mei Chuan left the office, Chen Ke felt upset, so he simply stood up and walked to the window to look outside. The office is in the barracks of the Insurance Regiment, and the scenery here has not changed much compared to a few months ago. The barracks used to be full of soldiers, and for a while it was quiet because the troops moved to Yue Zhangji. Now it's a lively scene again. With the improvement of the Revolutionary Bureau and the influx of disaster victims from other places, the insurance regiment recruited many new recruits. As the venue for cadre schools and military schools, the barracks are once again lively. Not only that, but new uniforms also appeared in the barracks. The style of the new uniform is the same as that of the insurance regiment, except that the new uniform is black. This is the uniform of the Internal Guard.
A small problem in the history of the republic is the late creation of the Internal Guard Forces. It was not until after the "eight squares" that there was a real internal guard force -- the armed police. The military cannot be used to maintain internal law and order in the base areas, not because of insufficient military capabilities, but because of the need for political propaganda. At this stage, if the army is used to suppress the enemy inside the base area, the reputation will not be good. The army is used to fight the enemy, or at least to provide disaster relief. This is the question of the concept of building a people's army.
The internal enemy is also an internal contradiction, and the use of the army to resolve internal contradictions is in conflict with the "people's army" that has been repeatedly emphasized in the army. Chen Ke's knowledge of history tells him that this is harmful. So the internal force, the police force, came into being. And the most powerful in the police force is the armed police. According to the formation of the police force, there are two types: the security police and the armed police. However, the uniforms are all black, which distinguishes them from the army.
The newly formed police force is undergoing intensive targeted training. From the queue drill to the use of weapons, it is basically the same as the military training of the army at the present stage. The only difference is that the police force conducts specialized baton program training. And the army is military dagger training.
With a shield in one hand and a baton in the other, the police force is conducting a queue training to disperse the crowd. Compared with the assassination combat training of military daggers, such a police training model has no beauty at all. The actions of the police force are far more intimidating than the actual combat. So a lot of it has to be exaggerated. This is exaggerated and bravado when compared to the cold beauty of a dagger assassination that fights life and death.
After watching it for a while, Chen Ke sighed and sat down at his desk. It was an old square table, with one leg split in half from top to bottom. After being tied with fine hemp rope, it was finally kept in a usable state. The conditions of the insurance group are like this, everyone makes do with everything they can use first. This is true both for cadres and for ordinary fighters. If anything, it is that the newly produced equipment is supplied to the troops on the front line in a limited way, and those who sit in the office in the rear are the last to be supplied. This is something that Chen Ke himself has emphasized many times, and he himself must lead by example. Although I know that this is actually a bit contrived, it is also a last resort in order to implement the revolutionary idea.
On Chen Ke's desk, there is a manuscript. Chen Ke picked up the pen and prepared to continue revising, but he couldn't put it down for half a day. This is a very rare situation for Chen Ke, and generally speaking, Chen Ke is very quick with handling things now. There's no time to make a fuss now, and there's a mountain of things to do. If you can't cut through the mess quickly, it's too late.
However, this document is the official party and government organization construction plan of the base area, and Chen Ke really wants to finish it quickly, but the actual situation is complicated, and Chen Ke can't start easily.
One of the benefits of a traverser is that he is extremely proficient in social structures. It can be said that from elementary school onwards, everyone exists in various organizations, and from junior high school onwards, political textbooks have to talk about the organizational models of these social organizations, from state organizations to non-governmental organizations. When he was in school, Chen Ke was always in pain when he memorized these organizational structures.
It is only now that Chen Ke somewhat understands why he is studying these seemingly useless organizational systems. Even in the 80s of the 20th century, China did not dare to say that it was completely free from the threat of foreign invasion. Therefore, if any social organization, from schools to factories, faces a situation of foreign invasion, it is likely to face a situation of fighting for itself. And an organized social system can effectively conduct homeland defense wars. Therefore, educating the structure of social organization from an early age can itself let the members of the state know the level of state management and can maximize its strength.
And this kind of education itself is also giving Chinese students a general idea of the national organizational system.
Now, Chen Ke is going to establish a regular party, government, and military system in Fengtai County. This kind of work made Chen Ke very troubled.
