Chapter 138 Minesweeper (6) Like-minded

If Guo Kaiqing's father is alive, he may be in his 60s, and he is also an old comrade-in-arms during the Anti-Japanese War, and the political commissar Guan of the 'Southwest Provincial Military Region' and his age are imitated from above, that is, today's age, which is considered 'old age' among the political commissars of the provincial military district for the head of the army, but this 'Southwest Provincial Military Region' is very important, so it is necessary to have a general to guard it, so that the head of the headquarters can rest assured.

'Lieutenant General', this is the official rank of deputy in a major military region, hanging on the shoulders of Political Commissar Guan, it can be said that he is 'highly respected', looking at Guo Kaiqing, who came to report, the old soldier's old eyes began to moisten again.

'Report, Major Guo Kaiqing came to report! Please the chief instructs! Of course, Guo Kaiqing could also recognize who the political commissar Guan was, but since there were other leaders in the room, he could only say that.

"It's not an outsider, don't be restrained, sit down," Political Commissar Guan did not introduce Guo Kaiqing to the other leaders, but pointed to the sofa next to him and asked him to sit down.

'Yes! Guo Kaiqing was like a recruit, sitting on the edge of the sofa with his buttocks close to him, and his hands on his thighs, waiting for the chief's greeting, so he could stand up.

'Have you been home lately?' Political Commissar Guan also went to a rural area in City A at the funeral of Guo's father, because he knew that Guo's mother was still alive.

Answering the chief's question, as a subordinate, you must stand up and reply, Guo Kaiqing stood upright, and said word by word, "I didn't go back this year, I went back last year and the year before yesterday, I went to school, and I put a lot of winter and summer vacations!" ’

Commissar Guan pressed his hand on him again, meaning to let him sit down first.

'Just go home. It's good to go home, I transferred you here today to form a mine-clearing brigade, No. 5, you tell him! Only then did Commissar Guan let the colonel out of the side, and he sat back in his chair.

For the work arrangement of the No. 5 chief, Guo Kaiqing had to record it with a pen and a notebook, and it took nearly an hour to finish at once.

After the work was arranged, several leaders walked out of the room of the political commissar Guan. Only then did Commissar Guan stand up again. 'Today your aunt knows that you are coming, come to my house for a light meal later, she also wants to see you.' ’

'Yes! ’

There will be no outsiders in the future, so you should call me uncle." It's kinder. I've lived two years. I have to retreat, go, home is not far away. The two of us talked while walking, and it was not good for the body to sit in the car for a long time! ’

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she followed the political commissar Guan is going south and north, her own life, tied to her wife, when she saw Guo Kaiqing walk in, the old mother was very happy, and stepped forward and said, 'It's Kaiqing, drink!' This big guy doesn't look like your father, but his power is quite like his! ’

'Hello Aunt Guan! Guo Kaiqing did not salute the army, but came to a 90-degree bow.

'The meal is ready, come in and eat!' ’

The home of a high-ranking military official has public servants to serve, and long before returning from the office, the political commissar Guan had already called home, and when the nanny brought the sumptuous dishes to the table, Guo Kaiqing raised his nose to smell it, and knew that this thing was 'colorful, fragrant'.

Most of the banquet was about the past of the political commissar Guan and his wife, Guo's father, and when it came to the excitement, the political commissar Guan also shed a few tears, Guo Kaiqing had to comfort on the side, although he didn't know the previous friendship between the two old people, but he also knew that their feelings must be very deep.

In the early morning of the next day, when Guo Kaiqing came to the temporary office arranged for him by the provincial military district headquarters, the officer in charge of personnel management was waiting for him there early in the morning.

'Captain Guo, my surname is Wang, and I am assigned by the chief to cooperate with you,' is also a 'major', this Wang officer should look much younger than Guo Kaiqing, with a pair of glasses on the yellow and white skin and the bridge of his nose, which looks polite and polite.

'Hello, you can introduce me, which unit has strong combat effectiveness?' ’

Major Wang smiled, "You beat us here is a field army, let me explain it to you, some of the troops below are not as good as the common people, I can't just tell you, I have to see with my own eyes, let's go, the car will be parked outside." ’

For the border round battles in the first two years, the field army and local troops all have the opportunity to go to the war, but two or three years have passed since the incident, and the veterans who have fought have basically all been demobilized.

When he came to the nearest city defense regiment, Guo Kaiqing, accompanied by the regiment commander, inspected his troops, and saw that the uniforms were quite new, but none of them were eye-catching.

"Captain Guo, how about my soldiers, I know that you are going to form a mine-sweeping brigade, this is a good thing for our side, my soldiers, pick whatever you want, pull whichever you want," the commander of the city defense regiment was very polite.

"Ah, I'm just going around, I'll sum it up first, if I pick someone, it's what you said today, don't give it when the time comes!" In fact, Guo Kaiqing didn't fancy his soldiers at all, and in order to save face for him, he could only say this.

Sitting on the way to the next unit, Guo Kaiqing was speechless, and the current difficulty was that how to raise the points of the soldiers, the miscellaneous army was no better than the field army, the training time in peacetime was less, and the organization and discipline were poor, so he really didn't dare to use these people.

Major Wang also saw Guo Kaiqing's difficulties, "It's different from what you thought before you came, I see, you shouldn't come, your relationship with No. 2 has long been spread, you have such a good advantage, you can't take advantage of it, if it were me, I would have been transferred to a good place a long time ago." ’

"I don't know the second chief, although he is my father's old comrade-in-arms, but the old people in their lives are very principled, if someone talks about me behind my back in the future, I also hope you can help me explain it," In order to dissociate himself from the political commissar Guan, Guo Kaiqing was not angry, he wanted everyone to know that he Guo Kaiqing was a person who lived on his own.

After walking for a few days in a row, Guo Kaiqing walked through most of the combat units under the jurisdiction of the provincial military district, and met a few suitable ones. But compared to his three or four hundred, the difference was too much, and lying in his dormitory, he was ready to think about what to do next.

After a while, Major Wang, who had finished washing, walked in, carrying a bottle of liquor in his hand, plus some side dishes, "I knew you didn't go to dinner, come." Get up. I'll accompany you for two bites! ’

For a little white face with cultural accomplishment, Guo Kaiqing didn't expect him to do this at all, and he sat up when he saw Major Wang put the food in place. 'Okay. Eat yours first today. Ming'er, I invite you. ’

I don't know if I don't drink it, but I don't know when I drink it, and I dare to love that Major Wang is a 'wine tank'. Half a catty of wine went down, and his face didn't change, he was still white and clean.

Guo Kaiqing felt a little strange, 'Which military school did you graduate from?' ’

Major Wang smiled, "You say me, I'm not like you, what kind of undergraduate did I go to, I am a junior college, or is it specially approved?"

'Dare you didn't go to college?' Guo Kaiqing knew that the 'specialty' mentioned in the army was a certain study class, and he had seen the words of Major Wang, which was quite good, and it was hard for him to believe it.

'Yes, what's the matter, it's not like that,' said Major Wang, taking off his glasses, snorting through his mouth, and then wiping them aside.

'No, it's too unlike, I think everyone who wants to wear glasses is a college student,' Guo Kaiqing drank a little wine, his face flushed.

'What do you say?' Hey, this is a pair of flat mirrors, there is no degree, I work in the agency, and everyone wears a pair of mirrors, pretending to look good, so I also made a whole pair, don't look at this thing, but I deceived my wife to the hand! Major Wang began to tell his glorious history, and it turned out that he, like Guo Kaiqing, belonged to the kind of cadre who was promoted on the battlefield, a diploma of junior college, that is, a certificate of completion of a 'cadre study class'.

Seeing that the other party's experience was similar to his own, Guo Kaiqing was overjoyed, and the two felt that the wine was not enough, so after buying another bottle at the service agency, they drank it late at night.

From cooperating with Guo Kaiqing's work to taking the initiative to give Guo Kaiqing ideas, for many days, Major Wang can be said to be very hardworking, Guo Kaiqing always has an idea, but he is embarrassed to say it, and finally plucked up the courage one day, just like a young man in love, confessed to the girl he liked, and spoke to Major Wang.

"Lao Wang, look at me, I am new to the ramp, I am not familiar with life, if you don't help me all day long, I really don't know what to do, I have a matter, I always want to tell you, do you want to hear it?" ’

'Just say it, what are you talking about today, let's hear it, I'll give you an idea,' Major Wang saw that in the past few days, Guo Kaiqing seemed to have some worries.

"Look at you, in the provincial military district, you have a wide network of contacts and a flexible mind, why don't you help me again and become a political commissar here?" After coming to the provincial military district, Guo Kaiqing always thought that his own ability could not support this heavy burden, and for many days, seeing that Major Wang was helping himself so much, he also said what was in his heart.

Major Wang smiled when he heard this, "You really think so?" ’

Guo Kaiqing nodded, "I really think so." ’

'It's useless for you to think so, I'm a deputy battalion, not enough level, your captain is the main battalion in front of you, after the New Year, after the order, you are the deputy regiment, a lieutenant colonel, my deputy battalion, and then mention that it is a main battalion, have you ever seen it, someone is the deputy battalion as a political commissar? ’

Guo Kaiqing thought for a while, "It's up to people, if you don't object, I'll talk to the chief, maybe I can agree." ’

'Then you go and say it first, if you can say it, I'll go, anyway, I have enough to sit in this office, in my lifetime, I will go to Bo with your old Guo, it is not in vain! Major Wang also had this intention.

'Hey! Then you just wait,' Guo Kaiqing happily rushed to the office of the fifth chief.

It has always been an effective method for our army to manage cadres, and with a native cadre, the heads of the provincial military districts are also very agreeable, and soon, Major Wang officially came to Guo Kaiqing's side as deputy political commissar and acting political commissar.

After many days of systematic study, Guo Kaiqing felt that to form a new army, it is necessary to start from the roots, and if veterans are transferred from various units and do not wait for the training to be completed and then join the work, these people will also usher in the work of demobilizing veterans.

For Guo Kaiqing's construction, Major Wang also supported, "This method is good, we can't ask for veteran oil, starting from the time of recruits, and the ones who have been trained are also the soldiers of our mine-sweeping brigade, and the recruits will continue to come in the future, they are the squad leader and deputy squad leader, I think it's best for you to go to your old army again, and see if the engineer regiment of the field army can send us a few platoon commanders and company commanders to enrich our cadre team!" ’

Regarding Major Wang's statement, Guo Kaiqing is really not sure, he can come here to be the captain of this brigade, the military department is like throwing it out, and now let him go back to ask for someone, it is not certain whether people will let him go, 'I'll be honest with you, I don't have anyone in the old army, I'm afraid they won't give it.' ’

Major Wang pointed to the ceiling with his finger and said, "You save face, they don't give it, can they not give the chief's face!" ’

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, I'm going to the second house, several leaders of our army, during the border war, but they are all his old subordinates, his face, I think it should be big enough." ’

After only a month or two, Guo Kaiqing came back again, before coming back, he also specially borrowed a 'lieutenant colonel' platoon, although this time he came to a 'mixed rank', but he will be in a few months, this is also to let the people of the old army see, he Guo Kaiqing 'is easy to use anywhere!
