The news was quickly conveyed by the cadres, just as I expected...... The donation campaign was widely supported by the fighters, and the donation was unprecedentedly enthusiastic...... The warriors had almost pulled out all the money they had saved...... Later, I learned that some of these soldiers even secretly called their families to ask for money because they had no money to donate...... What he said to his family was to buy cigarette money, which directly led to him not being able to smoke for several months!

Of course, I, the battalion commander, was no exception, and I also emptied my pocket and donated all the money...... But when it comes to everything, it's actually only a pitiful five dollars...... And the soldiers generally donate ten or twenty yuan, which makes me, the battalion commander, feel disgraced!

But I can't be blamed for that...... On the one hand, the subsidy of my battalion commander is not more than others, and the army in this era pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, not only the same as military uniforms, but also the same as subsidies...... This is also the reason why Commander Zhang is so nervous as a commander.

On the other hand...... It's because I don't have the habit of saving money.

Actually...... We generally don't have much opportunity to spend money in the army, and the food is in the canteen, the military uniforms will be distributed, and the cigarettes will be given a few packs every month...... There is still a surplus of these cigarette bars because the sniper company has implemented a comprehensive quit in smoking...... The soldiers of the sniper company used their cigarettes to exchange money and goods with soldiers from other units. Where do you need to spend money...... At most, sometimes I want to eat some fruit or buy some beef or something, and some of them are so addicted to cigarettes that I spend extra money to buy cigarettes!

But the burden on the warriors is not limited to that...... There are still elderly parents at home, brothers and sisters who want to go to school, or a wife and children...... One of our big men came up to fight, and several people in the family were waiting for our subsidy to open the pot!

So the soldiers saved this subsidy...... Basically, I saved it up and sent it home, you must know that this is our money...... That is, the province is enough for the family to live!

And what about me...... is a single person, and the subsidy is spent by one person...... But I'm not alone. Many people in the battalion are nervous at home, so the fruit or something...... Basically, they don't touch it. So I would often ask the guards to buy some apples, oranges, and other things, and when I got to the battalion headquarters, I would just leave them in hand...... Let's eat it together!

Anyway, we don't have to worry about eating in the army, don't we? When the money is spent, you will not eat fruit!

So...... At this time, I was only able to donate this five yuan, and this was because the subsidy had just been distributed......

Fortunately, the soldiers also know where I spent this money, so they can understand it...... Otherwise, I really don't have the face to face these soldiers under my command!

What touched me was ...... There are many soldiers who are reluctant to remember their names when donating this money, according to their words: "It is right to do something for the demobilized comrades, what else should be remembered?" Not to mention not to mention not paying it back in the future! ”

It's just that because the name is registered by the instructor of his own company, even if he doesn't sign up, he still knows who donated it...... So I still remember this account book clearly!

When the last amount reached the battalion headquarters...... It is the amount of money related to the previous account books collected by each company, which totals more than 18,000 yuan...... On average, each person donated nearly twenty yuan.

Of course, I don't need to deal with these statistics. Zhao Jingping and the staff officers of the battalion headquarters will naturally sort them out!

What surprised me a little was...... Our superiors were also very supportive of our donation action......

Actually, this was the instructor's idea...... Originally, I thought that our superiors could be said to be the headquarters, and that small things like donations didn't need to be reported to the headquarters at all! But the instructor insisted that it was always right to report, and that it was a good thing rather than a bad thing, if not...... It's not the same when it's passed from someone else's mouth!

So we ended up giving a brief report to the headquarters.

It turns out that the instructor was right...... Because soon the command replied with a telegram: agreed to donate, and the headquarters donated a side three-wheeler to the veterans on behalf of all the soldiers of the military district!

What? Side three wheels?!!

That's a good thing...... You know, we are short of a means of transportation to run business or transport goods...... This is the first company to open. At the beginning, the business volume was not very large, and it can be said that the side three wheels are used to transport goods...... If you can't do it, you can transform the side three-wheeler into a tricycle...... Anyway, the traffic police are not so strict in this era. Modified farm vehicles can't catch anything yet!

On the other hand. The demobilized soldiers are very familiar with the operation of the three wheels here, and it is a good thing to drive it with two people to contact the manufacturer or the self-employed...... People manufacturers and self-employed people take a look...... Yo, this is still on a motorcycle, and it is guaranteed to be a big customer with funds and strength......

It's a joke for us in modern times...... What can the side three wheels be counted, who doesn't have a motorcycle at home in modern times! But for this era when riding a bicycle is very popular...... The three rounds of the side are enough to make others envious, jealous and hateful!

So this is a relief for us......

But after thinking about it, I felt that this might be Commander Zhang's intention...... He may have known from somewhere that the purpose of our donation was to help the demobilized soldiers start a company. That's why it's good to donate nothing else, just donate a side three-wheeler!

In this respect...... Nothing in our synthetic battalion can escape Commander Zhang's eyes! I'm actually a little uncomfortable about that...... It's not because of Commander Zhang's side, but because of his brother who lives and dies together...... There will also be people who report to Commander Zhang!

But it's not surprising to think about it...... All the people around me, such as the staff team, the instructors, the howitzer battalion, the mortar company...... Even the new helicopter company was arranged by Commander Zhang. What's more, his plan to form our synthetic battalion was originally to track the training and growth process of our troops so that they could be transferred to other units, so could he not have some surveillance on the synthetic battalion?

Think about it this way...... In turn, my admiration for Commander Zhang deepened...... That is to say, from the beginning to the end, he had some knowledge of the operations of our forces and even the various decisions made in Afghanistan, but he was able to do it without interfering at all...... Whatever I want!

This may be the so-called "use people without suspicion, suspect people without suspicion"! (To be continued......)
