It is said that Wang Kai, the son of "Uncle Bao'er", is already in his third year of soldiering. With the restructuring of the army, the opportunities for promotion among the soldiers have become less and less.

Regiment B is now different from before, not only has it been upgraded to a "motorized infantry regiment", but even the basic barracks have been repaired a lot.

Wang Kai visited his home at the end of the second year of his army, and when he returned home, he saw that his mother's business was very prosperous, not only did he have a regular "fan reader" who came to read books every day, but also rented a newsstand in the park and sold newspapers.

While selling newspapers and renting books to tourists, the natural income is very high, and it is many times higher than the salary of a worker.

In more than two years of army life, Wang Kai also has a new understanding of his dreams. He wanted to see if his mother needed him to go home, and if his mother was doing well, he would like to stay in the army for two more years, even if he couldn't do it, he could become a volunteer. After eight years of demobilization, the volunteers will be transferred to local government agencies, and they can also be mixed with cadres of government agencies.

The ideas are good, but the reality is often very contrasting. Wang Kai's mother originally wanted her son to exercise for two years, and when he was demobilized and settled, the mother and son used their savings for many years to do something else, and trained her son to get ahead.

Seeing that her son was in the army, became a squad leader, and could be rewarded by the army every year, the queen mother had no choice but to respond to her son's interest and told him that as long as he worked hard and did well in the army, it would be a good place for young people to grow up.

After making up his mind, Wang Kai made plans for himself to become a volunteer. However, since Regiment B was upgraded to a "Class A Regiment", he found that not only were there fewer places for cadres to be promoted, but almost all of the cadres were college students who had graduated from military academies. Even the opportunities for each company to become volunteers have changed from a dozen to a handful.

Wang Kai was in a hurry, he was only the third year of service. If you wait until your fifth year of service, whether there is a quota for regiment B to be transferred to volunteers, you still have to talk about it.

Wang Kai is a person who loves to communicate with leaders, since he was a recruit, Liu Hong introduced the company commander and instructor of the fifth company to Wang Kai, and the instructor has always had a good relationship with Wang Kai. Wang Kai himself is also very hard-working, just as the commander of the fifth company promised at the time, shortly after the recruits, Wang Kai, who was the first year soldier. was sent to the division training team by the company for squad leader training. In the second year after coming back, he became the deputy squad leader, and at the end of the second year, after the veterans were demobilized, Wang Kai was already the squad leader of the third platoon and seven squads.

When Wang Kai proposed that he wanted to become a volunteer, the instructor thought about it again and again, "Wang Kai, let me tell you the truth." Now that the changes in the army are too great, cadres like me and the company commander, who are directly promoted from soldiers, will gradually choose to change jobs. At present, most of the cadres of the grass-roots companies are college students, and if they want to stay in the army for a long time, they must constantly study. It is possible that at the end of the year, my job change order will come down. ”

After Wang Kai heard the instructor's words, he thought that the instructor was going to change jobs. He can't take care of what happens after five years of soldiers, that's how he understands it.

"Instructor, what do you think I do, and among the same year soldiers, how many opportunities are there to become volunteers?"

"Wang Kai, don't you understand what I mean, I personally think that there is no shortage of volunteers in grassroots companies now, maybe when you are in your fourth or fifth year of service, you will be canceled as a volunteer, this is the transformation of a modern army."

Wang Kai was dumbfounded this time, his desire to turn into a volunteer soldier was completely defeated.

The instructor looked at Wang Kai's disappointed look, and then said, "Don't you still have a brother, doesn't he work at the border checkpoint, it's really not good, you look for him, see if he can help, there are more opportunities for border defense than we have here, if he has a way, it would be good." ”

After Wang Kai made up his mind, he wrote several letters to Liu Hong, but after a few months, the letters were like mud cows entering the sea, and he did not receive a reply from Liu Hong at all.

Seeing that in a few months, the soldiers in the third year were about to be demobilized, Wang Kai had no choice but to find the deputy battalion commander Liu Dart to see if he could contact Liu Hong.

When Liu Dart saw that it was Wang Kai, he guessed one or two.

"Boy, you haven't come to me for more than two years, are you in trouble?"

"Deputy battalion commander, do you have Brother Liu Hong's contact number, I want to find him, I have something to find him."

"Is this right, why don't you use it if it has a relationship, your brother Liu Hong is a cow now, not only has he been promoted to the main camp, but he has added hundreds of people and horses to his subordinates, and now he is fat, you wait, find the phone."

Liu Hong's border checkpoint is directly under the jurisdiction of the provincial military district, and Regiment B is a field army, which belongs to the group army.

"Don't fight elsewhere, just fight with me, I'll help you get in touch."

As he spoke, Liu Dart dialed the switchboard of Group B.

The switchboard of Group B is going to be transferred to the line of Liu Hong's border inspection station, which will take a lot of effort. He also had to connect to the group army through the division switchboard, which then connected to the group army's switchboard, and then through the group army's telephone line, he was connected to the provincial military district switchboard, and then the provincial military district switchboard was transferred to the border checkpoint. After more than 20 minutes, Wang Kai's nervous hands sweated out, he really didn't know how to talk to Liu Hong, after all, they were not familiar with each other.

The phone was finally connected, and it was Liu Hong on the other end of the phone.

"Dart, you're looking for me, what's the matter?"

Liu Dart saw that the phone had been connected, "It's something, your little brother Wang Kai, I want to talk to you." ”

After speaking, he handed the phone to Wang Kai, "Hurry up, the military line is often disconnected, don't talk about it halfway, the line is off." ”

The reason for the drop of telephone lines is not the problem of telephone lines, but the utilization of troops' resources. It's like there are those lines, and your endless chatting will affect other people's work. If there is a nervous phone access, of course, the staff of the switchboard will cut off your phone and connect to someone else's phone. There are exceptions to everything, and no one will cut off the phone calls of the leaders, but the phone calls of a small deputy battalion commander can't be said. Maybe Deputy Battalion Commander Liu had encountered such a problem before, so he specially reminded Wang Kai and told him to talk about something and hang up if he didn't have anything to do.

Wang Kai didn't say a word on the other end of the phone, he really didn't know how to open his mouth and ask for help. This young man, who is not yet twenty years old, has not yet experienced it.

"Is it Wang Kai, did you encounter something, just say something, brother will help you decide." Liu Hong's words are very easy-going.

Hearing that Liu Hong cared so much about himself, Wang Kai cried, and he couldn't speak.

At this time, Liu Dart snatched Wang Kai's phone, "You kid hasn't been here for a long time." If you have time, come to me and ask this kid in person. ”

"It's okay, I miss you too, I'll go over tomorrow."

"Ha Luha, the tone is different, it seems that you are really the chief, do you need me to pick you up at the station."

"No, there's a car in the station. I drove there. ”

After Liu Hong put down the phone, he explained to the deputy instructor and set off with the car driver.

The new jeep equipped with the border inspection station is really good. Far more powerful than the previous classic car. Along the way, Liu Hong was afraid that Wang Kai would find himself in an emergency, so he drove in shifts with the driver and took turns to rest. Hundreds of kilometers away, they drove all night, and the next morning they did. Came to Regiment B. With this incident, it can be seen that Liu Hong is still very enthusiastic about Wang Kai, and he thinks that the opportunity to repay "Uncle Bao'er" has come.

After arriving at the camp headquarters, Liu Hong did not immediately look for Wang Kai, but made up for sleep on Liu Dart's bed. He rarely drives, probably because of excessive concentration, he really can't stand the night without sleeping, and collapses in bed.

At noon, when Liu Hong woke up naturally, he found that the communications soldier at the battalion headquarters had already prepared a meal for him and put it on the table.

After Liu Hong ate a few bites of food, he instructed the communications soldiers at the battalion headquarters to tell him to go to the Fifth Company and call Wang Kai to the battalion headquarters.

Wang Kaizhen didn't expect that a phone call from his own would transfer Liu Hong from hundreds of kilometers away. After seeing Liu Hong, he had nothing to say again. I originally thought about the lines for a night, but when I was nervous, I couldn't remember them.

Liu Hong saw that Wang Kai was too nervous, so he said, "There's nothing to do, do you have something to say, I won't say it, as long as you open your mouth, your brother and I will help you with everything." ”

Wang Kai plucked up his courage, "Brother, do I want to transfer you?" ”

Liu Hong was very surprised when he heard this, "I heard Deputy Battalion Commander Liu say, aren't you doing a good job, you have become a squad leader, what's the matter, is someone bullying you, just tell my brother, brother will help you settle things." ”

"No, I think about it, now that the troops have been restructured, I originally wanted to be transferred to a volunteer soldier, but now I heard that in the future, the grassroots companies will not be transferred, and only those with skills can be transferred."

Liu Hong thought about it and thought, "It's okay, why don't you just become a volunteer, what should I do, go with my brother, in my brother's one-acre and three-point land, let alone become a volunteer, just mention it, and my brother will help you." ”

Wang Kai smiled happily when he heard that Liu Hong had guaranteed the ticket.

In the evening, Liu Hong called Liu Dart and invited the commander of the fifth company and the instructor to dinner.

During the banquet, Liu Hong also said a lot of things that the two of them liked to listen to, and thanked them for cultivating Wang Kai for more than two years.

The instructor is a cheerful person, "This is nothing, Wang Kai, this kid is very obedient, and his physical fitness is good, so he should help him." ”

"You can't say that, there are many good soldiers, and there are a few who became squad leaders in the second year, and I heard that kid say that he also joined the party." Liu Hong took over the instructor's words.

"Yes, he did a good job, and now he is a probationary party member, and he will become a regular in two months."

"What I mean by looking for the two this time is to thank them for their training of my brother, and second, I want to transfer him away and transfer him to me, so that I can get mixed in the future." Liu Hong got straight to the point and said his thoughts.

"Of course, this is good, we are only a company cadre, and within the scope of the rules, Wang Kai, this kid can be transferred to the stationmaster's hand, of course, it is much stronger than ours, it is ashamed, now we don't even have the power to transfer a volunteer, and the regiment has taken it back." The commander of the fifth company also spoke.

"That's it, trouble the two, I'll take him away now, I'll find someone to send it when the formalities go back, it's a matter of preparing party members, and the two of you will bother." Saying that, Liu Hong took out five hundred yuan in front of Liu Dart and put it in front of the two.

"It's easy to talk about this, I'll go to the group tomorrow to make up the formalities for him, and turn it into a formal one, you better take back the money." The instructor spoke.

"What's the matter, isn't it too much money, this is more or less my mind, buy a bag of tea for the two of you."

Liu Dart also said on the side, "Give it to you, you can take it, now Stationmaster Liu is a rich man, let alone five hundred, just say five thousand yuan, he can get it." ”

"You saw it, you didn't see it, don't talk nonsense, if any of the chiefs know the way, I, the little stationmaster, will have to roll up and go home." Liu Hongha, Ha Da Lu, laughed.

No matter how much money there is, the commander and instructor of the fifth company, looking at Liu Hong's current position, plus Liu Dart or their superiors, naturally have to deal with this matter.

When he got up early in the morning, the instructor went to the second battalion headquarters with the commander of the fifth company to say hello to the instructor, and after getting the consent, he went to the organization unit of the B regiment to go through the formalities for Wang Kai. not only advanced the time of becoming a regular a lot, but also gave him an organizational relationship.

After Liu Hong received Wang Kai's organizational relationship, he said to the two company leaders, "Xie Lu Xie two, I will be useful to Liu Hong in the future, just say, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it, Wang Kai, I will take him away now, after the order is completed, I will call someone to send it in a few days, Xie Lu Xie." ”

In this way, Wang Kai took Liu Hong's car and came to the border inspection station.

Since Wang Kai has been ordered by the "squad leader", it is also very easy to arrange. At first, Liu Hong wanted to ask him to be a squad leader, but Wang Kai didn't do it, he didn't want others to know about it, he relied on his relationship to become a squad leader, Liu Hong had to order a company commander to appoint Wang Kai as the deputy squad leader, how could he not be wronged by this little brother.

Wang Kai became the deputy squad leader of the fourth shift in a company, and he officially joined the border inspection station, not only standing guard on duty, but also joining the band at the border inspection station and playing the drums. (To be continued......)
