In the deafening slogan, Cao Yuan walked in front of the whole company again, he looked at the excited soldiers in front of him, and said in his heart* Yes, this bad thing has become a good thing, and the soldiers have finally started to get up, and they are no longer as numb as before. He decided to go the extra mile.

"Brothers, the company commander just said well, imperialism, warlords, landlords, and old wealth are the three mountains that weigh on us, and we will not be able to live well unless we overthrow them. We didn't understand why we worked hard all year round and ended up not having enough to eat, and we didn't have enough to wear all year long. And those landlords and warlords are idle every day, but they can't eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and they can't wear endless silk and satin. Is this fair? ”

"It's not fair." The soldiers shouted loudly.

"Yes, it's not fair. In the past, they had guns, they had an army, they had police, they had a regime, and they used these things to maintain their rule, oppress us, rob us of our food, rob us of our land, and force us to sell our sons and daughters; Now that we have guns in our hands and we are also an army, we have to fight with them, take back our grain, take back our land, drive imperialism out of China, bring down warlords like Chen Jiongming and Wu Peifu, and let us ourselves control the Indian handle and seize the political power. So that our parents and loved ones will no longer go hungry and will no longer suffer from the cold. Right. ”

"Yes."

So what are we going to do now? It is to strengthen training, and only by practicing our skills can we kill more enemies on the battlefield and overthrow the three mountains that are pressing on us faster. ”

…

After Cao Yuan finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua asked the soldiers to speak. He didn't expect that the first person to come out of the list was Wu Ziniu. Wu Ziniu stood in front of the team and told why he joined the army. In fact, his family is not poor, there are more than 20 acres of fertile land, but there is a landlord in the neighboring village who has a son in his family who is the head of Zhao Hengti's Hunan army, and forcibly occupies their land. Wu Ziniu, who is usually rough, gritted his teeth in front of the team and burst into tears; It makes everyone's heart sad.

Later, Wang Xiaoshan, Hua Chun and other squad leaders also came out one after another to tell their history of joining the army. In the narration of these people, Zhuang Jihua finally has some understanding of the source of soldiers in this era.

The soldiers of this era were either bankrupt peasants or bankrupt craftsmen; But without exception, they joined the army when they couldn't survive. The idea of these peasants is very simple, military salary, revenge; Nine times out of ten. Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart, why the old-timers couldn't be defeated and killed, this is the reason.

Zhuang Jihua didn't know that he had invisibly completed a primary three-check army rectification campaign, and the entire complaint meeting did not end until before dinner.

In the end, Zhuang Jihua announced that Han Wensheng and Zhao Hanjie (he explained that Zhao Goudan changed his name to Zhao Hanjie) were confined for three days, and then Zhuang Jihua sternly said that if anyone escapes in the future, he will be severely punished.

In the evening, Cao Yuan excitedly told Zhuang Jihua that the meeting was too good, and the soldiers were mobilized, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, further preach the revolutionary truth to them, and improve their consciousness.

Zhuang Jihua smiled and agreed, and at the same time reminded him that the revolutionary truth should not be too big, too far, most of the soldiers are illiterate, and they don't understand it if you talk too big and far. When it comes to their vital interests, they understand.

Hu Zongnan, Du Yuming, and Song Xilian also went to the company to gossip, but Hu Zongnan was slightly dissatisfied with Cao Yuan's idea of taking the opportunity to preach GCD. Several of the chiefs were very excited, and they didn't care about this little thing. Zhuang Jihua took the opportunity to convene an ideological work conference, and also asked the clerk Li Anguo to also participate in the meeting. At the meeting, Zhuang Jihua pointed out that ideological work cannot be expected to be completed in one meeting and one speech, and that ideological work must be carried out in regular work, and that we must pay attention to it in training, study, and life, and start from the details; In this regard, he took literacy as an example, you can start from the three-character classic, or you can start from understanding the meaning of Sanming and imperialism; The former is simply literate, while the latter is literate and accepts revolutionary principles at the same time. It's the same in training, for example, in a 10-kilometer run, telling the soldiers that there are warlords in front of them, and if we catch up, we can eliminate them, and if we can't catch up, they will continue to oppress us. Later shootings, assassinations, etc., and so on.

After the meeting, Hu Zongnan jokingly said: "*, how long do you have a brain, these ideas are poured out one after another, and see what else is in them." ”

Zhuang Jihua said half-truthfully: "I have a lot of things in my head, if I pour them all out, I can scare you to death, so it's better to keep some." ”

However, the desertion incident must still be reported, Zhuang Jihua wrote about the causes and consequences of this desertion incident, as well as his own handling methods and results, and was about to send someone to the battalion commander Wang Jun, but Hu Zongnan stopped him. Hu Zongnan told Zhuang Jihua that he had to go to the battalion headquarters in person to explain to the battalion commander and the battalion party representatives, because in fact, when dealing with deserters, the company only had the right to suggest and not the right to dispose of it.

Hu Zongnan's reminder came in a timely manner, Zhuang Jihua's mind sobered up, Hu Zongnan was not wrong, Lianli only has the right to suggest and execute, but not the right to dispose of it; According to the procedure, after the deserters are caught, the company reports to the battalion headquarters and attaches the company's handling suggestions, of course, this suggestion will play a great role; After receiving the report from the company, the battalion headquarters will report to the regiment headquarters after investigation, and the regimental headquarters will make a decision according to the situation, and then go through the battalion and company procedures, and finally implement it in the company.

Zhuang Jihua has actually overstepped his authority, what he has to do now is to ask his superiors to admit it, simply send a report, and the superiors may feel despised and either impose additional punishments, or give him small shoes to wear in the future; And he didn't want either.

After thinking clearly, Zhuang Jihua took out the report and took a closer look, felt that it was inappropriate, and wrote a new report, which focused on the analysis of the reasons for the soldier's escape, and how to use this incident to carry out ideological education in the whole company, so as to improve the consciousness of the soldiers, and at the same time evaluated the help of the training after the soldier's consciousness was raised, and finally asked the superior to approve his own handling, and then self-criticized his ultra viress behavior.

Zhuang Jihua read his report carefully again and again, and felt very satisfied, he thought that his superiors should agree with his approach, so he packed up and went to the battalion headquarters, but he didn't expect that he was too popular, and he was secretly waiting for the person who made his mistake to wait for an opportunity.
