A series of crushing defeats of the Soviet army also caused a lot of waves in the far east, and a completely military layman's face was full of incredulity, and he complained to his brother who had just returned to his hometown from the army to work, "5 million people? Gone so soon? And 3 million captives? Really? Even if it's more than 3 million pigs, it's not that easy to catch, right? ”

The elder brother who was still a battalion commander in the army a month ago didn't laugh when he heard this, and snorted coldly, "You know a fart, just because you are a human being, you will be killed so quickly, pigs will only run away at any time, and it is really not easy to catch them all." When the German army came down from the Songhu battlefield in order to shape a model, there were more cases of individual or single army falsifying the results, but the overall record was still very little watered, especially the number of prisoners"

Listening to my brother mention the events of the Anti-Japanese War, the clerk's face couldn't help but show sadness, their brothers and sisters were originally 4 people, the younger sister lost contact in the chaos during the Anti-Japanese War, the two elder brothers were captured by the national army, and they were sent to the Songhu battlefield like a flesh mill without much training, the boss finally failed to come back, the second child was lucky to pick up a life, and after recovering from his injury, he followed Chen Mingren to the fifth war zone, and finally followed him to the Red Party, but due to many injuries affected the meritorious service in the war, he was only a battalion commander until he retired.

Relatively speaking, the clerk himself should be regarded as the luckiest, and he can barely finish middle school in the war, even now when New China is making every effort to popularize education. It's also a relatively rare "intellectual", but thinking about the eldest brother and younger sister who can no longer zaijian, as well as the parents who died in the famine before the war, the clerk's heart still can't help but feel sad

In addition to being sad, the clerk thought that the second brother's family was no longer a military family after returning from this job transfer, and there was a lot less policy care, so he felt a little lost in his heart, and couldn't help complaining, "Now Shijie is so unpeaceful, what do you think above." How can you actually do a major disarmament at this time? ”

"What do you brat know! It has maintained an army of 8 million without fighting. Which government can afford it? And don't you still have to pay for this expense? When the second brother heard this, he immediately scolded, but then his face was also a little depressed, after all, this disarmament is not only his personal retirement from active service. Even his division was cut. This is really hard for a military man to accept.

At this time, the clerk said more. "Hey, I said brother, is it because most of your divisions were laid off because most of them were in the national army before? You see, Commander Chen (Chen Mingren) has now also been sent to the Construction Corps, which is not even a reserve."

"Shut up! If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. In this major disarmament, only four units above the division level have not been cut, and three of them, whether they are military commanders or most of the soldiers, are from the national army of the year, even if it is Ma Zhongying's armored army, more than half of the soldiers and most of the officers have also worked in the national army before", the second brother sharply interrupted the younger brother's nonsense, and immediately admonished earnestly, "The third brother, you have been smart since childhood, my brother and I are not as good as you, but it is useless to just play tricks, now the world has changed, honest people take advantage, and those who play clever will suffer, You have to use your cleverness to the right path, talk less strange things, and do more practical things."

After hearing this, he just stuck out his tongue indifferently, but seeing that his brother was unhappy, he wisely changed the topic and talked about the Soviet-German war again. The second brother couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and made up his mind, "I want to sign up to go to Xinjiang to participate in the Construction Corps, and veterans like me who have just retired from the military will definitely be welcomed there." Now that the Soviet-German war is like this, if China wants to participate in the war, the Northwest Military Region will definitely be the first to mobilize, and Xinjiang will bear the brunt. If this is the case, I will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield again, and now Commander Chen, who has taken over the Xinjiang Construction Corps, is still our old chief. The most important thing is that now Hu is always the secretary of the Northwest Bureau, and he has battles with him, and he always wins."

Seeing that his brother was bent on returning to the army, the clerk's heart suddenly brightened, and he realized that his brother's decision was actually mainly for his own considerations, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter secretly, but the words of persuasion were not said after all.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the appeal of Hu Weidong and other senior commanders of the army, the people's government promulgated some important policies to care for military families, and these policies were not to give military families any privileges, but only to prevent soldiers from shedding blood and tears, such as the death penalty for sabotaging military marriages, and those responsible for unjust cases that hurt military personnel and military families will also be severely punished and sentenced. It is precisely because of this that although the clerk usually likes to say some marginal things, and the interpersonal relationship is not good, but on the premise that he cannot produce actual evidence that he has endangered the interests of the people of the country, not to mention that few people dare to risk being identified as a false accusation to report him, even if he does, it is a blank accusation.

The reason why the second brother of the clerk is in a hurry to return to the army, to a large extent, is to protect his only younger brother, although after the founding of New China, the judiciary is much more open and fair than during the Republic of China, but like the clerk is used to running the train irresponsibly based on speculation, it is too easy to go online and fabricate charges, if you catch the second brother who once made a big fuss about the fact that he was in the national army, then the consequences may be more serious. This kind of overly sensitive political atmosphere will not gradually improve until those veteran cadres whose relatives were killed by the White Army or even wiped out one after another fade out of the front line. But then again, even after many years, a guy like Wenwen who likes to spread rumors is still easy to be invited to tea by the police

However, the second brother is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause, once a person's character has been formed, it is not so easy to change, and although the clerk has a high level of education and is still young, he has been reluctant to learn jishu, but managed to squeeze into the government department and wanted to be a cadre, but he couldn't control his mouth and was difficult to promote, it is enough to see how his personality is. In fact, perhaps it was because of his protection that the clerk was able to continue his speechless habit of doing things. It wasn't until the second brother sacrificed for the country that he came to his senses, gave up the career that was not suitable for him, and devoted himself to the cause of education, but relied on his good eloquence to become an excellent people's teacher (to be continued......
