The reason is very simple: As the northernmost field army in our country, the location of the military headquarters must be changed according to the changes in the situation, and by the end of the 80s, the internal turmoil in the Soviet Union was very strict, and in order to better conduct operational command, the military headquarters also moved to Jingbei City, which is in the middle of the province, and the subordinate troops are surrounded by it, and it can be regarded as being able to effectively mobilize in the shortest possible time.

As the current commander of the R Army, this 'Commander of the Fourth Company of Regiment B', who came out of the ups and downs during the turbulent period, has now become much more sophisticated as he grows older. If Deputy Political Commissar Hu fails, his front in the military department will collapse, so this is a work of open and secret fighting, and you cannot be allowed to fail.

The current political commissar of the R Army is from the General Political Department, and this political commissar who has worked in a large organ for many years is much more sleek than the army commander, and has gone to a leading post at the army level, and almost all the standing committee members of the military department have not come up by virtue of simple personal ability; behind them, there are more or less old chiefs, and he has no direct subordinates in the R Army, so naturally he is much more relaxed on the issue of conferring titles.

In the mid-80s of the last century, the R Group Army was reorganized twice, and many friendly troops were incorporated into the battle sequence of the R Group Army after being reduced. There is one chief of staff, and there are even more deputy directors and deputy chiefs of staff, and this is a bloated organization, and once something happens, no matter how big or small, the Standing Committee will have to quarrel a bit, and often which aspect has the upper hand will represent how strong they are in the military department. Everyone didn't look at it and handed over the work to Deputy Political Commissar Hu to do, but openly and secretly, they supervised him even more ruthlessly, and even who Deputy Political Commissar Hu usually went to meet and who he talked to was their goal of recording, but fortunately, when the meeting was held, it was difficult for him, and there was no way. This was the norm at that time, not only in the R Army, but also in almost all troops. This continued until the mid-eighties of the last century, almost a full decade.

The combat structure of the R Army, the division of ranks between regular and deputy military ranks is very clear, 'major general'.

Three infantry divisions were subordinated. Full-time officers of artillery divisions, tank divisions, anti-aircraft artillery brigades and ground artillery brigades. In principle, all should be awarded the rank of colonel. ’

According to the regulations of the Red Head Wen at that time, officers over the age of 50 were awarded 'colonels', and those under the age of 50 were awarded 'colonels'.

The main members of the R Army are basically infantry regiments, and the regimental commanders, political commissars, deputy regimental commanders, deputy political commissars, directors of political departments, and chiefs of staff of each regiment should be awarded the rank of 'lieutenant colonel', and the 'lieutenant colonel' belongs to the current administrative rank and auxiliary rank in accordance with the provisions of the "Regulations", and the regimental rank of 'lieutenant colonel' will be awarded 'colonel' after the expiration of four years of his term of office. In the 21st century, the recognition of officers with the rank of colonel is no longer limited to the previous situation, the reason is that everything must be reformed, but this was the case back then, and often the indicators issued by the superiors were fixed, for example, it is for you' 100 lieutenant colonels', you have to have 100 people, not one more.

Since the higher authorities have hard indicators, there are also difficulties in the evaluation of cadres at the regimental level, and most of the regimental chiefs from the first to the fourth are awarded the rank of 'lieutenant colonel', and the chief of staff of the fifth and the director of the political department of the sixth should also be awarded the rank of 'lieutenant colonel', but their indicators may be occupied by the higher-level organs, and there is no way, so these people are reluctantly awarded the rank of 'major'. The number of places for 'majors' is much more relaxed, so some people come to the military headquarters to look for the back door to see if they can squeeze their 'majors' into the ranks of 'lieutenant colonels' after adaptation, after all, if they are promoted from 'major' to 'lieutenant colonel', they will have to wait four years.

At first, everyone thought that after our army 'restored the rank system', it would follow the method of awarding titles in the fifties of the last century, and there would be the rank of 'captain', but the more we got to the end, the more we found that this 'captain' no longer existed. The point is correct, although they are one level lower than the fifth and sixth, but the military rank is the same, maybe after four years, who is the leader is not certain.

There is no absolute in everything, and among the regimental cadres of the R Group Army, there is also one exception, this person's name is Sun Wang, although he is the deputy commander of the regiment, but his title is 'colonel', which was agreed by the head of the military region, the reason is that Sun Wang not only enlisted in the army early, but also served in various chiefs' organs and units, and during the front-line operation, he made great contributions, so he was given a 'colonel', and did not take the quota of the R army, he was directly issued by the military region, and this 'colonel' also became Sun Wang's Honor', and so on, the original chief of staff of their regiment should have been awarded the title of 'major', and after Sun Wang's borrowing, he also became a 'lieutenant colonel', which can be regarded as a blessing to Sun Wang.

When the military department of the R Army put the list of titles and prepared to report to the military region after being passed through the Standing Committee, the problem arose, and the reason for the emergence was that there was one person, he was Guo Kaishan, and Deputy Political Commissar Hu gave him the title of 'lieutenant colonel', which made most of the Standing Committee members not understand why Guo Kaishan, who was not a deputy regimental officer for one day, was awarded 'lieutenant colonel'. This also gave everyone a handle, and at the Standing Committee, Deputy Political Commissar Hu was attacked.

The Standing Committee of the R Group Army is composed of chiefs No. 1 to No. 6, plus the director of the army's logistics department and the director of the army's technical department, with the exception of the deputy chief of staff who has always been called 'Army No. 7' and the deputy director of the political department of 'Army No. 8'. But this will be open until late at night, because some issues are not clear to everyone, and no one is convinced, and they have to be discussed again.

"If everyone thinks that there is no problem with the list of titles conferred by the military department, these people will be able to understand it, so let's study the list of personnel at all levels," Deputy Political Commissar Hu read out the revised draft, and then began to read out the military ranks of the main leaders of each division. On this point, there is no disagreement.

"I said Xiaohu, you don't have to read it, don't we all have Wen Jiàn in our hands." I just want to ask you, what's going on with Guo Kaishan of this Red Army Division? It stands to reason that they are all colleagues at the same level, and they should not be called like that. However, some people will always 'rely on the old and sell the old', so as to prove his old qualifications, ranking first as the deputy political commissar of the army. is a veteran, and his enlistment time is ten years longer than Deputy Political Commissar Hu, so even if he calls him 'Xiao Hu' like this, even if there is his personal reason, in peacetime, even the military political commissar and army commander don't call Deputy Political Commissar Hu that, they only call him 'Lao Hu.' ’

Deputy Political Commissar Hu flipped the revised draft to Guo Kaishan's page, 'Is there any problem?' ’

"Yes, of course, this Guo Kaishan is only in his early thirties, why did he want to award the rank of lieutenant colonel, can you explain it to the big guy?"

"Well, the military commander and political commissar knew this in advance, and they agreed to it."

'Agreed?' I said Xiaohu, let's not make a talk here, since it is the Standing Committee today, the people present are all members of the Standing Committee, you can't make your own decision without saying it, but you have all reacted, saying that you Deputy Political Commissar Hu protects the calf, a bowl of water is uneven, didn't he just stand with you for two years, as for helping him like this, I can see it, there are several chiefs of staff of various regiments, whose age and military age are longer than him, and they are also awarded majors, is this Guo Kaishan also awarded a major? ’

"As for Guo Kaishan's question, I will say a few words," the military political commissar had heard Deputy Political Commissar Hu's report during this period, and when he saw that someone was challenging Deputy Political Commissar Hu, he also stood up.

"Okay, No. 2, tell me, what kind of rule is this, the headquarters has repeatedly ordered that you can't harm people and derelict your duties on the issue of conferring titles, this is often the root cause of personal corruption, we have to listen to what your instructions are, you are a person from the General Political Department, in terms of understanding the spirit of the superiors, you should be much higher than us, everyone says yes, 'This old qualified deputy political commissar, not only does not give face to Deputy Political Commissar Hu, this time the military political commissar speaks, he will also go to the army, according to the headquarters Wen Jiàn" On a number of issues concerning the abolition of the tenure system for veteran cadres, this deputy political commissar may be retired from active duty one or two years after being awarded the rank of 'major general,' so there is also his main reason for saying that he is not a bird at all.

According to Guo Kaishan's file, Guo Kaishan enlisted in the army at the age of 16, was promoted to work at the age of 21, and after graduating from the guard school, he became a deputy company officer, and worked in the Red Army division for several years, and finally ~~,'Guo Kaishan's relevant materials were placed in front of the military political commissar, and it seems that he was prepared.

"No. 2, don't read it, we know better than you what you read, you've only been transferred for a few days," another deputy political commissar also spoke, it seems that the two deputy political commissars of the army are planning to join forces, the reason is very simple, if you don't 'take Deputy Political Commissar Hu down' today, they will be lagging behind, and now they are still the top two deputy political commissars, maybe one day as soon as the meeting starts, they will sit in the back, this is not certain.

'Well, I don't read it anymore, Guo Kaishan was the director of the Red Army Division Barracks, his administrative rank was a regular battalion position, and he was transferred to the Red Army Division Hospital, which was also a regular battalion position, and he worked for more than four years, right, he entered the border to participate in the war two years ago, he was a meritorious service, and the former commander awarded him a personal first-class merit, according to the relevant regulations, he can be used for promotion, that is, he was promoted to the deputy regimental position that year, and now he is in the H military industry, and he is about to graduate, this is a fact, logically speaking, he should be a lieutenant colonel,' After the military political commissar finished speaking, I took a sip of the tea in front of me, and then waited for others to speak.

'No. 2, what you said is true, but don't forget, although he is a deputy regimental position, he does not have his current position, according to the red-headed text issued by his superiors, at best, he is also classified as the chief of staff of the regiment, and now the chiefs of staff of each regiment are all majors, so is Guo Kaishan also awarded a major,' The head of the military technology department also seems to be on the side of the two deputy political commissars.

"Well, we should study it," the military commissar saw that the number of people standing on the opposing side was increasing, and he was no longer sure of his original decision. (To be continued......)
