Episode 18 Tian Xingjian (14) General Hall

"Unit 88471 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" is much better than those places where there is no sign in the army compound, and this wooden plaque with black characters on a white background is hung steadily at the gate of the 'military district shoe factory' every day, and passers-by can clearly understand that this is the army compound.

Guo Kaishan did not make any more preparations for the temporary appointment before work the day before, and the next morning, he still rode his bicycle and came to the 'Military Region Shoe Factory' to report for duty.

'Comrade, please log in and remember!' At the gate of the shoe factory, there were two guards with guns on the left and one on the right, and there were two more guards in the watchtower of the mailroom, and one of the guards with guns stopped Guo Kaishan.

'I'm here to report, this is my formalities!' Guo Kaishan got out of the car and handed over his 'appointment order' to the watchtower in the mailroom. ’

The 'sentry chief' in the mailroom was a 'sergeant', and after reading the 'duty order', he quickly ran out of it.

'Hello Chief! ’

'Can I go in?' Guo Kaishan's voice was very gentle.

'Of course, you're number one here, and we'll listen to you!' ’

Riding a bicycle, leisurely wandering around the factory area, it was already time to go to work, and the surrounding military factory workers were shuttling back and forth, none of them would have thought that this man in his thirties riding a bicycle was their 'regiment leader'.

The wide factory area is not in sight, after half an hour of riding, still not to the full, it seems that this is far more than the compound of Jingbei B regiment, just when Guo Kaishan wanted to find his 'office', a jeep stopped beside him.

"It's No. 1, I'm the director of the Office of the Youth League Headquarters, don't say a word before you come, we'll pick you up at home!" A "lieutenant colonel", when he got out of the car, his face was much older than Guo Kaishan's. It looks like you'd have to be forty years old, to say the least.

'I haven't reached the official reporting time yet, I have to go to the original unit to hand over the work, I'm here to see today, the director of the factory office? You're a lieutenant colonel, so the commissar can't be a colonel, right? Guo Kaishan had not seen the personnel files of the 'Military Region Shoe Factory', so he naturally did not know how this organizational framework was structured.

"No. 1, you really like to joke, before you came, I didn't know what, our political commissar is a colonel. Associate Division! The director of the factory thought that Guo Kaishan was joking with him.

'Colonel! Hey, it seems that I, Guo Kaishan, have really come to the right place, this is a good place for promotion, I said Comrade Director, can you show me the way, this factory is so big, I don't know where it is! ’

"Of course, No. 1, let's get in the car and talk!" ’

'Look. I'm still riding a bike! ’

'This is easy to do, driver, you go down and ride the No. 1 car to the entrance of the factory department, and talk to No. 2 by the way. Let's just say that I have found the No. 1 person, and I am accompanying the chief to visit the workshop! ’

I used to drive a jeep, but now I ride a bicycle, and the driver of this car is still a little stiff. Especially he is relatively short, and he can't control the 'twenty-eight big donkey'. In the end, I had to push the cart and leave.

For the 'Northern Xinjiang Military Region', which was previously called the 'Million Military Region' by outsiders, although it has undergone several disarmaments, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the army, navy, and air force, and these shoes for soldiers are all from the 'Military Region Shoe Factory'. ’

In a spacious workshop, there are hundreds of people, in order not to affect the work of the workers, Guo Kaishan just looked out the window, and then walked back to the car.

"Just now you saw the rubber shoes, specifically, is to make high-waisted rubber shoes, here accounts for a large proportion, the next place we are going to, is to make 'three-pointed' leather shoes, now it is difficult to turn to volunteers, this piece of the top, there is less use~~,' while driving the car, the director of the factory introduced to Guo Kaishan, and said it clearly.

'Where's the workshop where you make big-toed shoes?' Jingbei has always been cold, Guo Kaishan has remembered this 'anti-fur' 'big-toed shoes' since the day he became a soldier.

'One, you're talking about suede shoes, right?' ’

Yes, that's it, on which side. ’

'That's very close to the factory, and I'll tell you when it comes.' ’

After a visit, Guo Kaishan came to his own office, "Regiment Commander's Office" a few small red oil characters, printed on the glass door number, as soon as people pass by, the wind blows, it will also be dangling.

'No. 1, Comrade Kaishan, we have finally looked forward to you! In the regiment commander's office, there was really a person who looked like a 'colonel', waiting for Guo Kaishan, and he was either a 'lieutenant colonel' or a 'colonel'. ’

Guo Kaishan shook hands with the 'colonel' who took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "I'm Guo Kaishan, you are the number two, I came to report to you today, and I hope the old squad leader will take care of you in the future!" ’

"I've heard of your Guo Kaishan's name a long time ago, and when I see it today, I'm really young and promising, it seems that there is really new blood in our group!" The political commissar of the shoe factory still seems to like to always say that the shoe factory is a 'regiment', and does not regard this place as a unit or a factory.

'Who is the old leader?' Guo Kaishan really wants to meet his predecessor, and according to the regulations, he has to carry out a 'handover' with his predecessor. ’

Several people present looked at each other, but did not speak, and finally the political commissar of the shoe factory said, "He will not be able to think about it for a while, he has asked for leave, you and I will hand over today, we are the same." ’

'Oh, that's good, that's good. ’

Sitting in his own office, Guo Kaishan was in a very happy mood, if a large arsenal, he became the 'No. 1 chief', his heart felt naturally indescribable, and after the handover with the political commissar of the shoe factory, he sat in his own chair and looked at the text in the factory.

'One, can I come in?' The voice of the director of the factory department came from outside the door.

'Come in, what's the matter?' Out of politeness, Guo Kaishan stood up from his seat and greeted him.

'It's a little something,'

Then you just say. ’

That's a bit hard to say. ’

'Say, how do you pull it?' ’

'No. 1, the old No. 1 car, has now driven away, and it hasn't been sent back to us yet.' ’

'Car? ’

'That's right, a Santana for you, and a volunteer driver. ’

Since it's for the factory. Then you have to come back, he won't give it? Guo Kaishan thinks that this is a trivial matter, the former factory director has been transferred, and he should not occupy the cars in the factory.

"The key is here, the old factory director has been working in front of our factory for almost 20 years, and now he has been transferred to a new unit, I heard that he is only equipped with an ordinary jeep, and now he is angry, I don't dare to go to him to ask for it, 'It is not easy to be a factory director.'" Although the former factory director has been transferred, he has not left the army, and he is still within the scope of this left-side-right-side system, and it is really a hot thing to ask for a car.

'Oh, if that's the case, don't ask him for the car yet, and when he doesn't use it, he'll send it back to us, my house is not far away.' I can ride to work, 'When I first came to the ramp, Guo Kaishan didn't know the details of these people, so he naturally didn't dare to offend people first.

'That's good. Then do as you instructed, don't do it yet,'

'It's not my instructions, don't do it first, you want it.' Yes, it must be wanted, but it is necessary to choose the right time to understand,' Guo Kaishan heard what the director of the factory department said. hurriedly defended what he had just said.

'Yes, it's about finding the right time, right one, you said your home is not far from here, so do you want to move? ’

'Moving? That's right, I heard that the welfare housing of the military industry is quite good, and there is still a spare room in the factory? Guo Kaishan asked with a smile.

'So I have to ask you, yes, yes, but they are all decades old houses, according to your level, logically speaking, you have to live in a building with the rank of deputy division, I have to apply to the military region, the house in the regiment, although it is also a building, but the conditions are really average! ’

If the conditions are average, then forget it, my house was divided by my daughter-in-law's previous unit, and the geographical location is also good, so I am not in a hurry to move. ’

The director of the factory department didn't expect Guo Kaishan to be such a good person, and then he had to inch in, "No. 1, if you need anything, just tell me, we are no better than the grassroots troops, and the young girls in the factory are, why don't I transfer you a beautiful one?" ’

Guo Kaishan could see the thoughts of the director of the factory department at a glance, 'It's not that I want to adjust, is someone asking you to do something?' ’

No, I'm just thinking about the leader. ’

"I see that a few of you in your office are quite young, forget it, my wife is very old, let him know that there are so many beautiful girls around, it's time to rebel!" Guo Kaishan had heard about these rumors outside, but today it came to his head, and he immediately stopped it, and his eyes were still so resolute.

'Okay, then let's not adjust it for now, No. 1 and No. 2 just informed me that the place for the reception banquet for you at noon has been found, and after half past eleven, we can set off, and he is waiting for us there. ’

Guo Kaishan originally wanted not to engage in these things, but as soon as he heard that it was arranged by the political commissar of the shoe factory, he had to agree, 'You will call me at some point.' ’

'Yes, that's nothing else, I'm out. ’

'Get out. ’

From the regular army to the 'military shoe factory' of this 'half public and half army', Guo Kaishan was ready, and when the director of the factory department pulled him to the 'Lihua Hotel', he immediately smiled.

"No. 1, the location has been decided, in the General's Hall," the director of the 'political department' of the shoe factory, who has been waiting at the door, was arranged by the political commissar of the shoe factory, and he was specially in the lobby at the door, waiting for Guo Kaishan's arrival.

came to the door of the private room of the 'General Hall', Guo Kaishan also deliberately read, 'General Hall, drink, it's not ordinary, this is too magnificent, it seems that our No. 2 wants to be a general!" ’

Hearing Guo Kaishan shouting at the door, the political commissar of the shoe factory also walked out, "Where, where, how old am I, I can't catch up with the general's car Luo, everyone is a reception banquet for you, only you Guo Kaishan is qualified to embark on the road of the general in the future, the big guy said yes!" ’

'Yes, No. 2 is so right, No. 1 is young and promising, and he will definitely become a general in the near future! ’

The coaxing of the crowd, not only made Guo Kaishan very happy, but also attracted the attention of the hotel lobby manager, this 'general hall' has always been closed to the public, or it may be that the political commissar of the shoe factory often comes here, and has a good relationship with the hotel, they are willing to let this 'general hall' out, when the lobby manager saw that the invitation was actually the husband of the proprietress, he was very vigilant, and immediately went downstairs to call Guan Yue, saying, 'Brother Guo is eating wine in the general hall of our hotel!'
