In the 80s of the last century, when the reform and opening up was deepened, the popularization of television was faster than the development of society, and within ten years, basically every family had a television set, and this TV program became a matter of entertainment and pastime after tea and dinner for every household, and it was often possible to analyze the current social form by watching news programs, and this "evening news" and "news broadcast" were not only loved by the common people, but also by the heads of the troops, and the commander of the R Army was a 'TV fan', watching the "Evening News" It has become his second job, because his official position is big, and it is also very important to grasp the pulse of the central government.

"One, why don't you leave tonight," the political commissar of the R Army finished sorting out his things and was about to go home, and when he passed by the office of the Commander of the R Army, he found that he had no intention of leaving, because he had taken off his coat.

It's too late, it's too late, and if this goes home, the Evening News won't be able to read it. ’

"Didn't you watch "News Network", and still watch "Evening News"?"

"I still listen to News and Newspaper Digest in the morning, you don't understand this."

"I don't understand? You forget, I'm from the General Political Department, I don't understand anything," the political commissar of the R Army thought that the R Army Commander was 'general' himself, and he also entered the R Army Commander's office, found a chair, and prepared to watch TV.

In the office of the commander of the R Army, there was a 20-inch 'Sanyo brand' color TV, which was also only equipped with it at his level, and while both of them were watching TV, the horn of the car downstairs sounded.

'It's annoying, I'll call them,' the driver of the car of the political commissar of the R army saw that the political commissar had not come down for a long time, and he began to honk his horn, and in this military office, the lights were already turned off at nine o'clock in the evening, and now it was almost ten o'clock, and he did this. Obviously inappropriate, the military commissar of the R Army opened the 'air window,' intending to tell them to wait a little longer.

'What time is it, don't honk the horn, okay, go down after reading the news, you two wait a little longer.' ’

The content of "Evening News" is much more concise than that of "News Network", and it is enough to broadcast the news of the day in just ten minutes, and it is in the broadcast of news. It's all about how many times the fiscal revenue of a certain place has increased, how much it has increased compared to the period of turmoil, and finally at the end, the two 'veterans' finally found the main point.

"In accordance with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission's policy on building 'our army into a modern and regularized army', the Central Military Commission has decided to conduct a survey on the 'restoration of the military rank system' for all units of the whole army. The research group of the Central Military Commission, composed of three general departments, is rushing to take advantage of the main forces of the major military regions to ~~~. ”

News is news, and the "News Network" at seven o'clock did not mention it. It didn't mean that the "Evening News" didn't mention it that day, the two army leaders laughed one after another, and then got dressed and went home.

Soon, the 'research team' also came to the R Army. During the half-month-long investigation, all the problems found were reported to the research team. As the person in charge of the "restoration of the military rank system," Deputy Political Commissar Hu naturally had to report to the 'research group', and when the issue of Guo Kaishan's conferral of titles was mentioned, Deputy Political Commissar Hu did not dare to do the same as he did at the Standing Committee of the Military Affairs Commission today, but instead became slumped.

Guo Kaishan's situation is not very common in our department, he is a special case, for this reason our army also opened a special standing committee, but there is no discussion of the results, you are the leaders of the headquarters, the intention of the superiors, you naturally know, you say, I said that the issue of awarding Guo Kaishan 'lieutenant colonel', you think it is reasonable and unreasonable. ’

It is said that it is the 'research group' of the three general departments, but these people are also some old slippery heads, "Deputy Political Commissar Hu, when we came to the military region from the capital, some people also reacted to this problem, most of them are on the arrangement of some old comrades' awards, thinking that the old comrades should take care of some, we are still the first time to see it, for young people to compete for titles, your question, we will record it first, which means that after returning to the capital, we will specifically raise it to the head in charge of conferring titles. ’

How long will it take, if it is a long time, it will delay the time for awarding the title, which is not very fair to Guo Kaishan, and the comrades around him will also be suspicious. ’

"Let's do our best, fortunately, just a few of us came to the R Army, and the other troops have special personnel to investigate, we just came to Jingbei to see, what's the matter, Deputy Political Commissar Hu, it seems that you are also very young." ’

I don't care, some people have suggested that I, the deputy political commissar, only brought it up this year, and logically speaking, I should be awarded the rank of 'colonel', and I did the same, you see, among the leaders of our army, only I am 'colonel', and the others have all been reported as 'major generals.'" ’

"Deputy Political Commissar Hu, you can't do this, this is not up to standard, your Standing Committee member is ranked in front of the director of the Political Affairs Department, if you are awarded the title of colonel, it should be him." ’’

I have already made a report to the military region to explain the matter, and we enlisted earlier than me on the sixth day, our military age is older than mine, and our cultural experience is also higher than mine, so I should be ranked behind. ’

"It's rare, it's rare, it's okay, our task should be completed, we will return to the military region overnight, our group of people are still waiting for us in City A, this Jingbei is too far, the train is too slow, and the old waist is tired." ’

'This is easy to do, I will help you arrange a sleeper carriage for a few of you, local comrades, I will coordinate,' Deputy Political Commissar Hu saw that these 'errands' obviously wanted to sit in the sleeper, and the military train was tired of sitting down, so it was better for people to order directly, it was better to take the initiative to put it forward, he was still very shrewd.

'Will that work?' That's too much trouble, isn't it? ’

"No trouble, no trouble."

There are still many problems in the whole army like Guo Kaishan, and most of the leaders of the troops are oriented towards their own soldiers, so when these problems are summarized and brought to the headquarters, what everyone did not expect is that the No. 1 head of the headquarters solved the matter in a few minutes.

'I don't think their request is excessive, let's talk about Guo Kaishan of the R army, I have heard of this comrade, who did I listen to? The little head who speaks Sichuan dialect, after his comeback, is in his eighties, and his mind is flexible and ruthless.

'Chief, I told you, Guo Kaishan is two brothers, Guo Kaishan is the third in their family, and he also has a younger brother who serves in the Southern Xinjiang Military Region. Guo Kaiqing's name is that he was a first-class meritorious hero in the early 80s, a reconnaissance hero, the head of the headquarters organ, and there are also people who have heard reports from his subordinates, Guo Kaishan's strange journey lies in the fact that his former position was a medical worker, and later he was transferred to the infantry battalion to work, and his deeds have long been called the former commander and the propaganda department of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region. It's said that it's amazing, and after a series of bubbles, it's not surprising that the credit has been magnified a lot.

'Okay, I finally found Ren Luo, the current era is no longer the period of the Liberation War, Luo can volunteer to go to the battlefield, this point, his courage Guo Kaishan is commendable. In addition, he also led a company of personnel to repel the attack of three companies of the enemy, so that the military flag did not fall, this is a talent. It is not an exaggeration to treat such a comrade as a lieutenant colonel, and if every comrade is treated the same, the importance of heroes cannot be reflected. For other similar problems, I think it is better to take Guo Kaishan as the standard, as long as it is similar to him. The speech of the No. 1 head of the General Headquarters set the tone for Guo Kaishan's question, and it was soon distributed to all units in the form of an internal journal within the army.

Guo Kaishan's award, not only his own business, but also gave Deputy Political Commissar Hu the opportunity to straighten his waist in the military department of the R Army, what everyone did not expect was that Deputy Political Commissar Hu gave himself a 'colonel', for a person who should have been a 'major general', took the initiative to give the 'major general' to the army No. 6, which is not common, although Deputy Political Commissar Hu has a high wind and bright festival, but he did not usher in praise, many people think that he is grandstanding, in accordance with the provisions of the "Regulations", awarded' Although he was not awarded the title of 'major general' this year, he can hang the epaulettes of 'major general' in a bright and bright manner at the award ceremony next year, which is also a very common thing.

Guo Kaishan's award ceremony was carried out in the 'H Military Industry' school, at this time, the students of their full active military class had taken off the 'red card' from their shoulders and replaced them with the corresponding military ranks corresponding to their own level. Lieutenant Colonel', this is also easy to understand, it is impossible to treat young officers in school with a person like Deputy Political Commissar Hu, so some of the seniors and posterity in the class are older than Guo Kaishan, and they are all awarded 'majors'.

"Wow, I said Lao Guo, you didn't tie the wrong distance between this star, why did I send you one more, mine is one, yours is two," the squad leader gave the 'major', facing Guo Kaishan's 'lieutenant colonel', his teeth are quite itchy, the gap between 'lieutenant colonel' and 'major', that's four years, the same classmate, after graduation, four years before he can catch up with Guo Kaishan, can he not be jealous.

Guo Kaishan got his epaulette and handed it to the squad leader, "If you don't get it, I think the major's epaulette is very good, and you don't need a ruler to measure the distance, and the center is just right." ’

"Cut, I'm too lazy to look at it, I said Lao Guo, how about I make a bet with you?" In this graduation exam, the class president took the first place in the class, and he said very confidently.

'Bet, bet on what?' Guo Kaishan didn't know what he wanted to say.

'You're a lieutenant colonel now, I'm a major, let's bet on who's going to have a gold star on their shoulders first, what do you think?' ’

As soon as the classmates in the class heard that someone was going to invite them to gamble, they all came over, "Jin Xing, good guy, I said squad leader, you have just become a major, you want to be a general, Lao Guo, don't be afraid of him, bet with him, you start so high, I think he is tired to death, and he can't surpass you," a classmate is not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement, and he coaxes other classmates to come over.

Seeing more and more classmates gathered around, Guo Kaishan smiled, "I don't gamble, I'm different from you, maybe in two years, I will apply for a job change, and now I won't fight, it's still a good place, not only can I make money, but I can also stay with my wife and children." ’

'Don't gamble? No, Lao Guo, I've heard that your military department is for you, a lieutenant colonel, but even the head of the headquarters is alarmed, knowing that the victory is won, isn't it a pity not to gamble, 'A classmate with hands and eyes to the sky, suddenly broke the shock.

"Don't gamble, don't gamble, I don't have great hopes for being a general, everyone go to the school gate to take pictures, there will be more people for a while, there will be no good place," Guo Kaishan lifted his own 'regular uniform' military uniform, and walked out of the classroom, in his heart, he naturally wanted to be a 'general', this insincere words, he seems to have to say it often in the future.

Guo Kaishan's godsister Yue Hong also heard that Guo Kaishan had awarded the rank of 'lieutenant colonel', so she made an appointment with the old professor and his wife, and also came to the main gate of 'H Military Industry', waiting for Guo Kaishan's arrival.

'Huh! Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, it's okay, why don't you wear clothes on your arms! Far away, Yue Hong, who had the rank of 'captain' on his shoulder, began to shout Guo Kaishan.

"It's not that I don't wear it, haven't you officially participated in the investiture ceremony, teacher, you two, why are you wearing civilian clothes?" Guo Kaishan felt very strange when he saw that his godfather and godmother were all dressed in civilian clothes.

'My clothes are so big that people have taken them and changed them, but I haven't changed them back yet.' ’

'Oh, I see, okay, let's take a picture first.' ’

At the gate of "H Military Industry", Guo Kaishan left the first photo of himself wearing a military rank, and after taking it, he washed two more, one mailed to his own home, and the other was mailed to the Guo family's old house, he wanted his mother to see his son's majestic appearance.
