It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when the car returned to the regiment's family courtyard, and Li Weiguo hastily took a few mouthfuls of food, and then made a phone call to arrange Zhao Qiang, the political commissar of the regiment, to discuss things in the office.

Zhao Qiang is seven or eight years younger than Li Weiguo, graduated from a famous university in his early years, has a typical bookish anger, after graduating from college, it is rumored that he joined the army smoothly by virtue of his family relationship, and directly entered a large organ.

Zhao Qiang has been in the regiment for a relatively short time, less than two years, while Li Weiguo has been in the regiment for nearly 30 years, which can be said to be deep-rooted. Zhao Qiang knows that he has shallow qualifications and weak strength, but he is not willing to be a puppet and a sound worm, he competes in secret, and finds a set of methods of "curve power", when he sees him, he is an approachable appearance, treats Zhao Weiguo with respect, and often asks Li Weiguo's opinion for the political work in charge, which is very useful to deal with the arrogant Li Weiguo, Li Weiguo is always happy in his heart, and has never raised objections to embarrass Zhao Qiang, for this reason, Zhao Qiang's prestige has gradually been established, and he has slowly cultivated his own people.

Zhao Qiang rushed to the office building one step ahead of Li Weiguo and was wandering outside Li Weiguo's office. Seeing this, Li Weiguo hurriedly welcomed Zhao Qiang into the office, without too many polite words, lit a cigarette with each other, and went to the point.

"Lao Zhao, I'll make a long story short, on the issue of recruit training, I asked the division commander today, in view of the current special situation, and the actual situation of our regiment, can we break the previous training mode and directly organize training with actual combat as the background, the division commander also gave a clear answer, increase the intensity and difficulty of actual combat training, exchange sweat for blood, and strive to achieve substantial results in one month, and directly pull out in two months. Lao Zhao, time is tight and the burden is heavy, the two of us must be twisted into a rope, this is a political task, and it is also our noble mission as soldiers. Lao Zhao, after thinking about it, the person in charge of the new training work is still Deputy Regiment Commander Guo, who has been on the battlefield and has actual combat experience, and only in this way can the current training be targeted, scientific, and effective. In addition, I think it is still necessary to make some information clear to him, which is very important to grasp the next step of the new training work, as long as we convey it within a controllable range, it is not considered a leak. ”

Although Zhao Qiang said that he was secretly competing with Li Weiguo, he was very sensitive, and on major issues, Lao Cheng was serious, even if there were objections, he would not hide and not show them, and he would never put himself on the opposite side, and said firmly: "Lao Li, I agree with your point of view, now it can be said that the big war is imminent, we must have sufficient mental preparation, plan well in advance, fully consider, and use all the methods we can think of, it doesn't matter if you sweat a little more at ordinary times, and it is the key to ensure that comrades bleed less on the battlefield, I will call Lao Guo now." ”

After a while, the deputy head of the regiment, Guo Shouyi, hurriedly came, and when he sat down, Li Weiguo said straight to the point: "Lao Guo, I just discussed with the political commissar, due to the urgency of time, I did not ask for your opinion, I hope you can understand and obey, the next step of the new training work is responsible for you, mainly for the following considerations, one is that you are from the grassroots step by step, knowing the soldiers and leading the troops have experience; Second, you are in charge of the regiment's training work, and you have your own unique features in training, and the results are also remarkable; The third, and most importantly, that other regiment leaders do not have, you have actual combat experience, and actual combat training can be more scientific and targeted. After Li Weiguo finished speaking, he looked at Guo Shouyi in a daze.

Guo Shouyi obviously still has emotions, his age is second only to Li Weiguo among the team members, if you take into account that Chief of Staff Niu is responsible for the training of the whole regiment, the task is heavier, it is difficult to separate, and it is understandable that he is not suitable to be responsible for the new training work, but Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and Deputy Regiment Commander Lin, in terms of qualifications and age, they are more suitable than themselves, if they are really in charge of the new training work, this year's plan to go home for the New Year will be in vain, and they have said hello to their families in advance.

Seeing Guo Shouyi's hesitation, Li Weiguo said in a low voice: "Old Guo, we have weighed it that we want you to be in charge of the new training work, only you are the most suitable, I might as well reveal a little bit to you, there is about to be a war." ”

Guo Shouyi was surprised: "What, what you said is true?" Seeing Zhao Qiang nodding at himself, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you for the organization's care, I will definitely do my best to complete the task." Guo Shouyi knows that war is the highest honor given to soldiers, and soldiers are always preparing for war.

Li Weiguo smiled heartily, but he knew in his heart that only soldiers who had experienced the baptism of war could have this kind of look, they didn't want to recall the war on weekdays, because there was too much pain there, but they eagerly longed for war, because the battlefield was the real fertile ground for them to realize themselves, and he also felt the same way, and then said: "Lao Guo, what we are going to tell you now is top secret, I just discussed it with the political commissar, for the sake of the overall situation, it is still necessary to convey it to you, You have to stand on a political plane and keep secrets. After speaking, he stared at Guo Shouyi solemnly.

Guo Shouyi said solemnly: "Please rest assured, two leaders, I promise you as a party member and personal personality that I will use my political future as a guarantee and will never divulge the slightest secret." ”

"Lao Guo, this year's situation is quite special, the situation on the border is changing rapidly, there is a tendency to further deteriorate, the conscription work has also been advanced, the pace is very tight, they are all conscripted in the station, and after the conscription, they are immediately assigned to various units. You also know the situation in the regiment, nearly 500 people retired last year, and the number of recruits planned to be replenished this year is also nearly 500; in consideration of the current situation, the division commander has also given clear instructions to break the previous pattern of step-by-step training according to rules and regulations, and to focus on actual combat training, giving you only one month of time, and you may be pulled into the battlefield at any time, you must overcome all difficulties, make careful plans, train strictly against difficulties, sweat a little more now, and shed less blood in the future. ”

Guo Shouyi pursed his lips, stared at Li Weiguo and Zhao Qiang resolutely, stood up suddenly, and said awe-inspiringly: "I immediately started to prepare the new training plan, and I also have a condition, the backbone of the new training this time must be elite and strong generals." ”

Li Weiguo and Zhao Qiang glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It's up to you, we will never interfere." ”

In the end, Zhao Qiang stood up and held Guo Shouyi's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "Old Guo, the heaviest burden of the whole group has been handed over to you, so please leave everything to you." Guo Shouyi also burst into tears.
