When Deputy Company Commander Li heard this, he became polite, like the head of a large unit like this, the cigarettes he smoked will definitely not be bad, this is not nonsense, after all, the grade is placed here, it is impossible to smoke cheap cigarettes.

Besides, there is no place for officers to spend money, the army is in charge of food and housing, and even underwear and socks are wrapped, if they don't like to eat snacks, then most of the troops will only have smoking.

As for marrying a wife and having children, this is a big amount of money, yes, but the army has regulations, you can only get a certificate at the age of 26, and the average officer who has just joined the army is 22 years old, and there are not many people who can save money at this age, but there is no place to spend money in the army, even if there are a variety of snacks in the army store, not many people buy them.

What do you think, the officers open small stoves in the canteen, and they are usually full of food and drink, who will eat snacks as meals when they have nothing to do.

How is the allowance spent? In addition to saving to marry a daughter-in-law, there is only smoking as a more expensive item, plus everyone has a good face, a little like to compare, the average officer smokes cigarettes, ten yuan a pack is less, and you can see twenty yuan a pack starting every day.

I'm used to smoking this good cigarette, but I'm not used to smoking a bad cigarette, so every level of officer, the cigarettes smoked are higher than the other.

Deputy Company Commander Li had met a battalion commander, and he usually saw him smoking.

It's really a little scary, a battalion commander, how much is a month's salary? Not to mention those remote, let's just say that the most common ones are only six or seven thousand, unless you have a relatively high military age and can break eight thousand.

But a soft medium is nearly 700 yuan, even if it is a pack a day, it is 2,005 a month, which accounts for one-third of the salary, which is very exaggerated.

Anyway, he can't afford to smoke this kind of cigarette, and he only has an allowance of more than 4,000 a month, which is still because of the subsidy provided by the coastal defense troops. Otherwise, a junior officer who has graduated from a military academy for three years will have an allowance of 3,78.

You may think, is an officer's salary so small? After being an official for three years, he only has a salary of more than 3,000 per month? It's better to go to a random place and find a job to earn more.

But in fact, it's really like this, it's just over 3,000 a month.

Not only the troops, but also local civil servants, and grass-roots civil servants with a salary of more than 3,000 are also grasping a large handful, unless they are in big cities, where the level of consumption is high, and the wages will be high.

But how difficult it is for civil servants in big cities to get in, 985,211 colleges and universities are the minimum academic requirements, people have academic qualifications, and the salary is high, so naturally there is nothing to say.

However, the officer's allowance is less, but he is covered with food and lodging, and once he is demobilized later, he can withdraw more money at one time. According to the most common troops, if a fourth-class sergeant major who has been in the army for 17 years is discharged, he will be able to receive a one-time discharge pay of 500,000 yuan.

If you're in the Air Force, Navy, or Remote Areas, it's even higher.

On the plateau outpost, it is common for a sergeant's monthly allowance to exceed 10,000 yuan, and once discharged, the discharge fee is even higher than unimaginable.

Of course, they give their youth and their health for the country, and it is normal for the state to give them such a high discharge fee.

The topic is far away, in a word, a leader of Meng Chuan's level, no matter how you say that the cigarette you smoke must be 200 yuan a piece.

But the two baskets of seafood I bought really didn't cost much, and when people saw that it was a soldier driving a speedboat to buy seafood, they didn't pick it much, and just took the basket and threw it over.

In fact, these seafood that has not been sorted are not ready to ask for money, they just want to give them to you to eat, if these seafood are transported to land, they may be able to sell at a price, but if they are still on a fishing boat, they are not worth much.

But since the people have already given money, then then, there is no such thing as humility.

Deputy Company Commander Li felt very happy, and bought a cigarette for 100 yuan, which was so cool.

The speedboat was very fast, and it docked in less than two minutes, and the correspondent took Deputy Company Commander Li and his party off the boat, and Meng Chuan continued to take the speedboat to start training.

The correspondent took Deputy Company Commander Li to the command car, touched a piece of Su cigarette and handed it to him, "Deputy Company Commander Li, give you cigarettes." ”

Deputy Company Commander Li took the cigarette, and when he saw that it was five hundred yuan a piece of Su Yan, he felt that he had taken advantage of it, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll just take two packs, your chief still has to smoke it." ”

The correspondent smiled and said: "Okay, Deputy Company Commander Li, our director asks you to keep it, he doesn't usually smoke, this cigarette is just prepared in case of emergency." ”

Cigarettes are a kind of thing that can relieve tension, and Meng Chuan felt that smoking was not good at first, so not only did he not advocate smoking, but he even felt a little disgusted.

But since he went to the battlefield, he has no aversion to cigarettes at all, for ordinary people, Meng Chuan does not recommend everyone to smoke cigarettes, smoking is harmful to health.

But for soldiers, especially those who are about to go to battle, Meng Chuan recommends carrying two packs with him, because this is really useful.

On the battlefield, many times, people are not killed by the enemy, but by their own hearts, and war syndrome is not uncommon for soldiers.

We are not like the M Army, where we can be equipped with a psychiatrist for counseling at any time, and we can only carry out psychological adjustment by ourselves, but things like cigarettes that can quickly adjust the balance of our hearts are really effective.

For Meng Chuan, maybe the money for the cigarettes could be taken out of Tepei's funds, but the army is not a rich place after all. If cigarettes can relieve your mood, then the army will definitely give you funding at the rate of five yuan a pack.

The reason is very simple, no one has any money to spare, there is no difference between a pack of cigarettes for five yuan and a pack of cigarettes for fifty yuan, since this is the case, then why should I buy a pack of fifty yuan?

We are the people's army, we are the army raised by the people, it is impossible to say that you want to smoke a good cigarette, how can you use it to buy a good cigarette if you want to smoke well, fifty yuan is the money of a magazine bullet.

Because Meng Chuan knew this, he simply bought a few good cigarettes out of his own pocket, and didn't make it difficult for the troops, just take care of his own soldiers as much as possible.

When Deputy Company Commander Li saw that the correspondent said this, he was not hypocritical, put the cigarette in his backpack, and stood on the shore to watch Meng Chuan's training.

As for taking out a pack of cigarettes for everyone to smoke, he is not a stingy person and wants to disperse, but the army has rules that you can't smoke in public.

The rules must be followed, and smoking can only be smoked secretly, even if you are a leader and an officer, you cannot violate it, after all, the rules are the rules.
