There are always ups and downs in life, and everyone is always a student of life.

Just after Guo Kaishan successfully completed the first year of college students, almost all disciplines have been excellent, which is inseparable from his hundreds of days of hard study, plus the help of his godmother and his wife and his godsister Yue Hong, from the beginning of the rolling and climbing can not keep up, to be able to summarize ideas, complete the study of some subjects after class, Guo Kaishan has changed, he is no longer a young man who does not like to learn, has gradually become a knowledgeable, educated, idealistic, and future academic soldier.

In the process of researching the new Soviet-style tank, Guo Kaishan followed from beginning to end as a technician, during this period, the 'idiot instructor' assigned him a little easy work, and he quickly completed it, in short, in the decomposition of this new tank, he participated in the whole process, which also gave Guo Kaishan, who had never been in contact with the military industry, enlightened.

Seeing that the teachers who participated in the research had received corresponding rewards, Guo Kaishan was very happy, he walked to Yue Hong's side, and happily started talking.

'Finished?' ’

'It's over, haven't you seen it all, in less than a year, all the results have achieved their goals, and the next work is someone else's business, what's the big brother, aren't you bad, wipe the parts, do you have any experience? After all, in the past year, Guo Kaishan has spent far more time with him than he has spent with Yue Hong, and Guo Kaishan will leave the 'H military industry' after staying for another half a year.

I learned a little bit, but I didn't fully understand it. ’

'If you can have this result in a year, it's pretty good, you see I don't.' I studied with the teacher for eight years, for eight years, the glasses of the "idiot" have been changed again, and its prescription is even greater.

When I didn't go to college, I always thought that the past few years of college were an easy past. Talking about love, singing and singing, I really didn't expect that the students in the H military industry are really different from the outside. ’

'Then dare to love, the future of military modernization, in terms of weapons, all count on us, we are in a race against time. One day is worth two days. ’

"Then it seems that I still have to study hard with you, what's the matter, how do you feel about the third-class merit this time?" ’

'Feelings? No. You have to look at Mr. Wang, who has only returned to China for a few years, and the certificates and medals issued by the headquarters and the system. A drawer full of them, and I had to learn from him, to be like him. ''Scholar' is to be academic, and he lives for academics.

'Learning is important, but you have to worry about lifelong events, my sister is waiting for you,' Guo Kaishan patted the shoulder of the 'academic idiot'.

'Come on, she can wait for me, and when you're still about the same, I don't understand, what kind of charm do you have, all women like you. ’

"I, you say me, I don't know, it's the first time I've heard someone say that about me, by the way, I heard that I'm about to be titled, what title does the school plan to give you?" ’

"Civilian, according to the latest regulations issued by the headquarters, general science and technology instructors are awarded civilian military ranks, by the way, big brother, you should be able to be awarded lieutenant colonel, you are an old revolutionary." ’

Guo Kaishan shook his head, "I don't know yet, this regulation says, in the revised draft, whether the rank of 'captain' is canceled is still being debated, if the main battalion is a captain, I can only be a major, don't you say it, lieutenant colonel is the main military rank of the regimental position, it is the honorary rank of the deputy regimental position, I was mentioned before going to school, logically speaking, it can only be a major, unless the 'captain' is gone, I can be rated as a lieutenant colonel, if there are many people in line, the lieutenant colonel will not be able to take the turn." ’

"Also, now the principal of our school, I heard that he has also been demoted to a regular military position, and some people have mentioned that they should be the same as other military academies, and the head of the army is a major general, and there is no way to say it, it seems that it is still a field army, and there is no need to worry about awarding titles." ’

For the 'restoration of the military rank system' at the end of the 80s of the last century, it has been studied and demonstrated for as many as seven or eight years, and it is naturally very important to confer appropriate military ranks on soldiers; in order to better implement this important matter, the whole army, and even all the military industrial systems, have ushered in a major reform, and several times in a row, the red-headed text jiàn has been continuously distributed to the troops, and before the 'restoration of the military rank system', a large number of personnel will be laid off, and it is inevitable.

At Guo Kaishan's godmother's dinner, the issue of military rank was mentioned again.

"Godfather, you are an old man of the H military industry, this time the military rank system is restored, can you award it to a major general?" Yue Hong is also very concerned about this matter, and now the whole school, teachers and students, the focus of the discussion is this.

The old man shook his head, "According to the regulations, I can only confer civilian military ranks, division rank and above, and those who are not in leadership positions, it should be like this. ’

'Then this is too unfair, you were a lieutenant colonel major before the turmoil, and now more than twenty years have passed, and the military rank is gone? Guo Kaishan didn't like to discuss this issue among his classmates, but today is a 'family banquet', and he is also active.

'I'm so old, I'm past retirement age, what do I do to fight for that, is it useful, or leave it to others to fight for,' the old professor looked very open.

'Old man, why don't you go find him?' Guo Kaishan's godmother wrote the word 'Liu' on the dinner table with her hand.

The old professor shook his head, "The chief is usually very busy with work, I think, there is no need for this, isn't it good to have a civilian rank, he still enjoys the corresponding treatment, and let the organization decide everything, don't be old, ask people to pay attention to us behind their backs, saying that I am so old, and I still want to be an official fan." ’

"Yue Hong, what kind of military rank are you awarded, you can say it, he is a civilian," Guo Kaishan saw that the old professor didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so he came to Yue Hong.

"Captain, the people from the school's cadre department have all talked to me, I have no opinion on this rank, most of my classmates are also like this, I am satisfied," Yue Hong is now the instructor of the cadet team. The rank of captain should be awarded according to the administrative rank and the length of service.

'Big brother, what about you?' ’

The people from the cadre department did not look for me, but our captain did find me and said that it should be a major. ’

'Major? Wow, you have the same rank as our teacher, I do the math, he is in his forties this year, you are just in your early thirties, according to the regulations, in principle, colonel-level officers. If you are promoted to the rank of 40 years old, you will not be a colonel,' Yue Hong was very happy, as if Guo Kaishan conferred the rank of 'major', which was even happier than her own award of 'captain', according to the regulations, as soon as the undergraduate students of the military academy graduated, they would be awarded the rank of 'lieutenant'. Lieutenant-level officers are promoted every three years, and when they reach the rank of colonel, they are promoted every four years.

"I said to open the mountain, after the title is awarded, you don't call us two godfathers and godmothers." This has a bad impact, and the revolutionary family does not have this from time to time, and having a military rank symbolizes that the country has affirmed your expression. Let's be commensurate with comrades in the future,' the old professor suddenly brought up this matter, which made Yue Hong and Guo Kaishan very puzzled.

'That's Dad. Can't I even call you? Yue Hong is now easy to call her godfather and godmother.

"You're okay, I mean Kaishan, the colonel-level officer is a middle-level cadre, and he is also a chief, in front of outsiders, it hurts to call him like this, isn't it a wife?" The old professor, fearing that his wife would not agree, turned his head to her.

'I don't care, anyway, Kaishan is my son, I have long regarded him as my own, I am retired now, I don't care about that,' although the professor's wife knew her husband's intentions in her heart, she still couldn't get over this hurdle.

'Then what shall I call you?' Guo Kaishan didn't expect that after today's meal, he would not belong to the oral godson of this old couple.

It's okay to call you a professor, a teacher, or a name. ’

'How about I call you teacher?' ’

"Okay, call the teacher good, the student is also my child, I said Kaishan, you are about to graduate, do you want to ask the teacher for anything?"

"Requirements, I really haven't thought about it, everything is good now, my academic performance is passable, I don't have any requirements," Guo Kaishan really couldn't think of what he couldn't do, what the old professor could do.

"Think about it, by the way, brother, don't you want to learn to drive a tank all day long, godfather knows people, you don't dare to say it yet," Yue Hong touched Guo Kaishan with her arm, her smile was too charming.

'Kaishan, do you want to learn to drive a tank?' The old professor never imagined that there were still people who wanted to learn the hard work, driving a tank is different from driving a car, it is so hot and so hot that ordinary people will vomit as soon as they get in, let alone drive that thing away.

Guo Kaishan nodded, "Can this work?" ’

"What's wrong with this, you are a grassroots commander, learn to drive a tank, I'll help you ask, if you can't do it, don't rely on me."

Thank you, teacher. ’

In the 'H Military Industry' armored corps, there are also sent trainees, many of whom are here to learn maintenance techniques, and the reason why Guo Kaishan was able to learn to drive a tank is also because there is a special training ground here.

On a crisp autumn morning, Guo Kaishan was wearing a 'tank suit', walking at the end of the team, today he is preparing to 'get on the car', in more than a year of research and study, Guo Kaishan is the first time to enter the tank, he wants to see, this car he can drive away in a few days.

Others studied for a month, but Guo Kaishan only took less than three days, and the tank was in his hands, and he was free to advance.

"I said you are not lying to me, don't you know how to drive, are your hands itchy, which unit are you from?" The commander of this car, is an old volunteer, he as Guo Kaishan's instructor, teaching this self-taught student, very labor-saving, only a few times to say the driving principle, after a few laps, Guo Kaishan himself can drive away.

'I've only taught myself theory, I've never driven, I don't lie to you,' Guo Kaishan didn't expect that he would learn so quickly.

'Oh, I see, no wonder, by the way, you haven't said what unit you belong to. ’

'I was from the Red Army Division of the R Army, and before I came to school, I was a military doctor. ’

'Well, it's not the same these years, the military doctor has come to drive the tank, okay, you really can,' the old volunteer smiled and leaned back.

'Is this important for the profession?' Guo Kaishan asked rhetorically.

The old volunteer stopped laughing, he touched his head, and really couldn't think of how to answer Guo Kaishan's words. (To be continued......)
