In the end, the whole company gave Zhuang Jihua a sparse round of applause under the leadership of the party representative and the three platoon commanders. How Zhuang Jihua listened to this applause, how did it seem that he was not inspired, but rewarded.

Then the meal was served, a table was set up, and several plates were placed on it, and then the men brought out two buckets full of rice and two pots of spiky vegetables, and the soldiers lined up to eat.

Hu Zongnan brought Zhuang Jihua to the table, and when he saw Zhuang Jihua's questioning face, he said: "The company commander is in a bit of a hurry today, so it's a little simpler. ”

Zhuang Jihua still didn't speak, but looked at the soldiers in line thoughtfully, and Du Yuming added when he saw this: "*, the company is newly formed, and the tables are not complete for a while, except for the company headquarters, the whole company has two tables, one is a dinner table and one is a party table." ”

Cao Yuan didn't speak, but his lips were tight, it seemed that they had discussed this matter before. Zhuang Jihua nodded and said, "Eat first, and talk about the future tomorrow." ”

Cao Yuan finally didn't hold back, and said with some dissatisfaction: "*, I ask that the officers and soldiers eat together from tomorrow, you are the company commander, you say something." ”

Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked Hu Zongnan and the others: "What do you think?" ”

Hu Zongnan said: "I was against it before, and I still oppose it now. Officers and soldiers are two classes, and officers must have the majesty of officers. ”

"What about you?" Zhuang Jihua asked Du Yuming and Song Xilian.

"I think Brother Shoushan is right, officers and soldiers must have a distance in order to have majesty." Song Xilian was quick to talk and answered first.

"I don't mind standing in line if there are enough tables." Du Yuming said.

"I know all your opinions, and I want to ask you a question, where did the principal and the commissar eat when we first entered the school? What class were they and what class were we? What do they eat? What do we eat? ”

The people at the table were silent at the same time, everyone has not forgotten the matter of clear soup porridge and Wangzi steamed buns in the school at the beginning, at that time, whether it was the principal Chiang Kai-shek or the political commissar Liao Zhongkai were eating with the students in the cafeteria, there was absolutely nothing special, at this time Zhuang Jihua put forward the meaning of criticism, Hu Zongnan and Du Yuming didn't know how to answer for a while.

"But the principal also said that there should be a distinction between upper and lower levels and classes in the army." Song Xilian argued.

"The distinction between classes is to be clear about responsibilities and easy to command, not to be special in life."

"But if an officer is like a soldier, how can the majesty of an officer be established?" Hu Zongnan was a little unconvinced.

"Recently, I read Zeng Hu's quotations that the most important thing to govern the army is to reward and punish strictly. Therefore, the establishment of the majesty of officers lies in the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, not in the special emphasis on officers. For these fierce generals, Zhuang Jihua pulled up the banner of Chiang Kai-shek to suppress them.

He looked at the company's training today, and to be honest he was not very satisfied, and he didn't think the training plan was appropriate.

"I heard that you three platoon commanders live alone?" Zhuang Jihua asked, seeing that the three of them nodded: "I ask you, no, it's not a request, it's an order, I order you to live in the platoon and live with your own troops, so that what happens at night can be dealt with at the first time." ”

Later, Zhuang Jihua said: "I am the company commander, but I can't lead the troops well, I need to work together from top to bottom, take the officer as the core, and unite the entire company as a whole." ”

"I looked at the training plan in the afternoon and I didn't think it was the right plan." Zhuang Jihua didn't plan to talk about the training plan, but he couldn't help but talk about it again.

"Oh, what's wrong?" The plan was made by Hu Zongnan, so he was a little unconvinced.

"Brother Shoushan, if it is a normal situation, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but now we may have to train this batch of recruits in the shortest possible time under abnormal circumstances."

"Oh, did the headmaster reveal any gossip to you?" Song Xilian asked.

"What? What's the matter? Do you want to beat Chen Jiongming? Hu Zongnan asked, he was a well-known prophet in the school, who had predicted that China and Yue Ben would fight in ten years, and argued with his classmates for a long time about it, and Zhuang Jihua fully supported his views at that time.

Cao Yuan and Du Yuming looked at him eagerly, they both believed in Zhuang Jihua's judgment, Zhuang Jihua looked left and right and whispered: "The principal didn't say anything, but I analyzed, in a month, at most a month and a half, we may have to go east, otherwise Chen Jiongming will come to beat us." So we have to speed up the training and increase the intensity of the training. Otherwise...., I don't want to take a bunch of untrained soldiers into battle. ”

Cao Yuan frowned, he didn't like Zhuang Jihua's style of speaking: "*, you are here again, now you are the company commander." ”

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that if he wanted to joke, then the three of them who had just given the order might just joke about it. After all, it is still very uncomfortable to move from a triple room to a twenty-person room.

"Tomorrow I will draw up a new training plan, and we will complete three months of recruit training within this month. Okay, let's eat, but from tomorrow you will also go down to the platoon to eat, and there will only be me, the party representative, the clerk, the herald, and the trumpeter on the table of the company headquarters. Meals were only for the five of us. ”

I heard that there was a battle, these people were very excited, and they also devoured food, except for Zhuang Jihua, he didn't want to go to the battlefield, he now found that the gap between his development and his original purpose was getting bigger and bigger, and now it is possible to go to the battlefield, you must know that going to the battlefield is to die.

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment, and most of the dishes on the table disappeared, and when he came back to his senses, Zhuang Jihua immediately made up for it and stuffed it into his mouth as quickly as possible.

In the evening, Zhuang Jihua called the secretary to the company headquarters, and then handed him twenty silver dollars, which was already his last working capital, and asked him to buy nine tables, each table with four benches, and then buy a few more pots for vegetables, and finally Zhuang Jihua said to him: "Every week, you must explain the accounts clearly, including how much money you receive this month, how much money you use, how much money you have left, how much money you use every day, how much vegetables you buy every day, how much meat, how much rice, how much these vegetables, meat, rice, how much a pound, you have to write clearly, if there is a mistake." Don't blame me for not being emotional. ”

Zhuang Jihua lightly told him that he did not want him to rest assured, but to reassure the whole company, and I will publicize the expenses you reported in the whole company, and put them on the wall outside the company headquarters, so that the soldiers of the whole company know how their money is used. Also, in the future, the officers' meals should not be made alone, just like the soldiers.

The secretary general was transferred from the Cantonese army, and he had never seen this kind of officer, and he thought to himself that this company commander looked like a ghost. No, it doesn't seem to be very shrewd, and it is rare to pay twenty silver dollars to buy something for Lian Li. Maybe I met a good official.

In this era, the army's salaries are insufficient, in terms of the current army in Guangzhou, the richest is the Dian army, they occupy the richest commercial area in Guangzhou, hundreds of thousands of various taxes per month, followed by the Guangdong army, the Guangdong army also has territory in the city of Guangzhou, and the other places controlled by Foshan are also relatively rich, so it is better to say, the rest of Zhu Peide's Dian army, Tan Yankai's Jiangxi army, navy, etc. are relatively poor. However, even the richest Dian army will not pay the full salary, but only pay living expenses, because if the salary is paid in full, the soldier may run away if he takes the money, and if he owes the military salary, the soldier will always look forward to getting the salary, and he will always stay in the army, which is the same as the money in the bank in the previous life, the more money you owe to the bank, the more the bank will give you money, for fear that you will cross. Therefore, the general army only pays the salary before going to the battlefield, and is careful not to pay it out, only a part of it, a small part, and the soldier knows that he is going to go to the battlefield when he gets the salary, so he quickly uses the money or sends it to his family. And then wait for the next time to go to war.

After the secretary left, Zhuang Jihua began to draw up a training plan, in fact, he did not draw up but recalled, recalling the training in film and television dramas in his previous life, such as "Band of Brothers" He watched it several times, and how the films "Forrest Gump" were trained, but there seems to be no quick fix. He thought about it slowly, and it wasn't until Cao Yuan came back from outside with a horse lantern that he had a preliminary idea.

Cao Yuan chatted with him for a few words and went to sleep, and Zhuang Jihua wrote his plan in the dim lantern.
