Chapter 12: The First Lecture

Some left, some came, Xu Ming heard that a fellow came to him, and he was slightly surprised.

"Lin Feng, how did you come here? How do you know I'm here? How did I find mine? Xu Ming asked three questions in one breath.

"Brother Ming, I'm here to join you, and I'm not going to do the bank's job."

It turned out that Qiu Linfeng was young and vigorous, and he offended his foreign boss in the bank, he threw his resignation in anger, he heard that Xu Ming invited a lot of customers for this job, and spent a lot, so he didn't dare to go home to see his parents, and he heard that Xu Ming was in Qiyang, Hunan, and looked for him all the way.

If it was before, Xu Ming would help him find another job to do, and in this era, he can be regarded as knowing a lot of people with heads and faces, and he can even introduce him to work in Han Xiaoyu's Yuming company. After all, it is still dangerous to work hard in the army.

But now he is very short of helpers, and there is no one he can trust, Xiao Qiu came at the right time.

"You can be a staff officer at the regimental headquarters for the time being, in charge of logistics and finance. I will repair a letter to Uncle Qiu. But I want to say in advance, the army is very hard, and safety is not guaranteed during the war, so you have to think about it. Or, I can find someone to find you another livelihood, Hefei, Changsha and Shanghai. ”

Qiu Linfeng actually regretted it after resigning, but young people love face, but he still feels very disappointed Xu Ming's original efforts, he immediately said.

"Brother Ming, it's not that I don't know what to do, you put in so much effort at the beginning, it's that I can't stand you, although I haven't worked in the army, but I also know that logistics and finance are the key to all walks of life. I'm desperate, you still believe in me so much, I...."Speaking of this, Qiu Linfeng finally choked up.

Then he said: "My brother and I are not the sons of Wang Sun, Brother Xu Ming, you don't know, when I was a child, my family was very poor, my brother and I took turns to accompany my father to Hefei to sell chili peppers, 80 miles away from my house, we set off from the village after dinner, and arrived in Hefei until dawn." Big (father) carries a burden of 120 pounds. ”

If you can endure hardships, it is naturally very ideal, but the first thing to explain to Xiao Qiu is to pay money, except for the first phase, everyone else received 6 pieces of white flowers. Xu Ming saw the long line of soldiers, and there was a proud voice in his heart: "This is my soldier, everything listens to me." ”

On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, the Japanese army launched the final general attack on the squadron with fierce artillery fire and air superiority, and saw that our army's front was about to collapse, but at the critical moment, my commander-in-chief, yes, I was no longer the head of the security regiment, but a clever and famous, mighty and invincible anti-Japanese general. I appeared in the most critical place at the most critical time and successfully reversed the situation, of course, little Japan refused to admit defeat and struggle, but I allowed the commander-in-chief to come to the front line in person, and successfully inspired everyone's fighting spirit. Under my wise guidance, I repelled wave after wave of frantic counterattacks of my opponents, and in the end, the remnants of the Japanese army disemboweled, handled, grenade, grenade. Soon, Jiang Guangfa came to commend him! Luo lame sent a congratulatory message! Qiu Fatzi sent praise! The press touted, the masses marched! Fame and rank fly together! Money and medals go hand in hand!

Time Magazine: "Congratulations to Commander-in-Chief Xu, do you think this is the perfect victory?" ”

I smiled gracefully and said, "The perfect victory is always the next one!" ”

"Bang bang." A knock on the door interrupted Xu Ming's daydream.

"Come in"

It was Qiu Linfeng who rushed in, and there was still the joy of just completing the task on his face. "Brother Naru"

Xu Ming frowned.

"Commander Xu, the military salary has been paid."

Soon, Xu Ming realized that he couldn't give this young man who had just graduated a face. "Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet."

"I didn't either, so I went to eat with me, and after eating, we went to patrol the camp at 8 o'clock."

If there is one thing that Qi Yang is not satisfied with, it is that the gambling style is serious, Xu Ming actually discovered this problem in the military camp a few days ago, when the team was only more than 100 people, managed by Zhang Liu and others, plus the four of them themselves also had a lot of fun, Xu Ming did not care about this matter.

After checking less than 50 rooms, Qiu Linfeng had a lot of gambling equipment in his hands, mahjong, pai gow, leaf pai ......, and ironically, Xu Ming's desk full of expectations became their best platform.

All the soldiers who gambled quickly received the first "gift" from their commander: 30 trees were planted each while the others were resting, in honor of the 9th anniversary of Mr. Nakayama's death!

Xu Ming felt that he wanted to hold a conference for them, although he would not be naΓ―ve to think that when he spoke on the stage, everyone below would be enlightened, but as a chief, he must do his duty.

On the playground, the soldiers spread out in a square formation, and Xu Ming suddenly found that in front of more than a thousand people, there was no trace of nervousness in his heart, after all, these people were not spectators, but a team that obeyed his orders and was full of his expectations.

Soon, his slightly Anhui Mandarin came from the playground.

"Everyone, brothers, introduce yourself first, the contemptible surname is Xu, Xu Ming is a thousand miles, and now he is your head of the regiment."

"First of all, I welcome everyone to join our team, of course, the purpose of your joining the army may be to fancy these 6 oceans to support your family, of course I will not object to this, and I can also ensure that your military salary can be paid on time and in full!

I can also guarantee that most of you will not be paid 6 yuan in the future, according to my plan, after half a year, your training will be basically completed, you will not be a new soldier, and the veteran will be at least 8 yuan, called a second-class soldier.

"The first-class soldier is 12 pieces, if you can become a squad leader, 50!"

This is a sigh from the audience, the monthly salary of 50 is indeed very high, but Xu Ming has his own considerations, if the squadron lacks the most, Xu Ming thinks that he is a qualified officer.

I remember that Lao Jiang once said bitterly that it takes more than 10 years for Japanese officers to become colonels after graduation, while the Chinese Whampoa Department only takes five to seven years, not to mention that the semesters of Japanese military academies are several times that of China!

It is precisely because of the lack of officers that most military academy graduates spend very little time at the grassroots level, and many Whampoa students are promoted from the platoon commander position after half a year! Therefore, Xu Ming plans to focus on training from the squad leader to make up for the troubles of the rapid promotion of military cadets in the future.

Xu Ming did not use patriotism at first, but used "money" to inspire them.

"I will also guarantee your food, accommodation and other life, and you should already feel the food and accommodation."

"You're going to learn about culture, I know many of you can't read, it doesn't matter, I'm going to find a teacher to teach you, and I'll teach you myself if necessary. In the past, people called Bing Qiu Ba, and they had a bad impression of you, but you will not be in the future, and you can write letters to your family in three months, and write them on the desk in your dormitory! That's not for you to gamble on! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ming's face changed to dark.

"But there was no one writing at those tables, they were gambling! I don't want to say how harmful gambling money is, and you're not three-year-olds, so I'm going to make it a point again today, and I'm going to tell you that again. Gambling is absolutely not allowed in my ranks; Absolutely, no prostitution, no prostitution! Absolutely - no robbery! Absolutely - no big smoking! Xu Ming accentuated his tone.

"You already know, those who have been mixed in gangs, have gone up the mountain among bandits, and those who are idle, what is called idleness, this is not easy to explain, idleness is idleness, you can imagine those who are not good at doing serious things, eating and drinking all day long, Qiyang dialect seems to be called a ghost beater. Hey, where did I just go? Oh, I don't take anything from those who have been bandits, soldiers, or hooligans. β€œ

"Why do you choose to be so strict, why am I so strict, you listen well. This is our responsibility! β€œ

"We are Shaoyang's soldiers, we were raised by them, and our responsibility is to protect them. That's responsibility. β€œ

"So we are not Qiu Ba, not soldiers, we must be polite to the people, we are absolutely not allowed to beat and scold the people, we have to help them as much as possible, and we can't collect money while helping!"

"I also want to tell you that this is not only the case for the common people, but also among our officers and soldiers: between veterans and recruits, between soldiers and officers, all are equal, and no random beating, scolding, and bullying is allowed."

"Okay, that's it for today." After saying this, he waved his hand heavily.

"Disbanded"

After the speech, Xu Ming did not leave, but looked at the soldiers who were gradually leaving, like a mother looking at her children who were far away.

The "head of the regiment" or Qiu Linfeng pulled him back from his dream.

"Is 50 yuan a month too much for a squad leader, it seems that the squad leader in other armies is about 20 yuan, and we may have dozens of squad leaders in the future." Xiao Qiu has just taken over the finances now, which is a bit of a pity for Xu Ming's ocean.

Xu Ming smiled faintly when he heard this. "Even you feel high, that's good,"

"Xiao Qiu, your future may not be a staff member or staff officer, I hope you will see more by my side, think more, and ask more, if you make progress in the future, the future is limitless."

Qiu Linfeng nodded heavily, and Xu Ming continued, "A person, including a soldier, must also have an upward heart, not necessarily motivated, but more likely to hope for better treatment." β€œ

Qiu Linfeng fully agrees with this.

"Modern officers have different promotion paths than those that have been done in ancient times. Take Britain, France, Japan, and the United States as an example, why ordinary soldiers can generally only be promoted to platoon commander at most, not to company commander. This is because the company commander is a real officer. A company commander has infantry, light machine gunners, heavy machine gunners and mortars under his command, all of which must be coordinated and coordinated with each other, and many times independent offensive and defensive tasks are carried out in company units. Because of these duties, the company commander is required to have strong professional knowledge and practical command ability. β€œ

Although there was only one audience, Xu Ming spoke very seriously, and Qiu Linfeng also listened very seriously.

"These requirements, including weapons knowledge, tactical thinking, sapper fortification, and manager coordination, are no longer easy for a soldier to learn from battle, so it is difficult for a soldier to be promoted to company commander. This will create a very serious problem, if the salary of the squad leader and platoon commander is not high, and the company commander cannot be promoted, then the soldier's upward spirit will be very damaged. β€œ

"There is no future for an unmotivated person or soldier or army".

After saying this, he looked at Xiao Qiu, he didn't know if the young man in front of him could really understand, but he hoped that he could remember his painstaking cultivation!
