15.Chapter 15
"Brother, I can't do anything for you, but I'll do my best to help you. ”
This sentence represents Li Mu's heart, at this moment of separation, the only thing he can do and make himself feel that he has not treated them badly is to do his best to help them, even if it is just a conversation.
There is no doubt that despite receiving two years of ideological education, Li Mu still has not been able to completely shake off the "morality" of the past! He thinks that since he has become a squad leader, he has the responsibility to work for the welfare of his subordinates! In fact, anyone would do this.
The matter of merit evaluation and award has always been relatively sensitive, and there is no soldier who does not care about honor, and there is no big soldier who does not want to have more sufficient capital to force the cost.
Even Xu Yan knew that Li Mu was not a saint, let alone be indifferent, and the reason why he would willingly think about his brothers was for a ridiculous reason - he thought he was the boss. This kind of "breath on the road" that has not been erased after two years in the army still remains.
Xu Yan even thought that those things had been deeply seared into Li Mu's bones, and he was afraid that he would not be able to change them for the rest of his life.
Xu Yan and other cadres once talked about that soldiers like Li Mu are very representative of the times, if it is in the war years, then people like him must have the greatest chance of becoming a group of people who will make great achievements, and in the peace years, most of the time what is needed is soldiers who follow the rules.
"Why don't you stay in the agency and want to talk to me?" Xu Yan's tone was surprisingly polite.
He asked this because almost half a year ago, Li Mu was on temporary duty in the government department. That's a great opportunity for any soldier. Very few conscripts can work in the political department, and even non-commissioned officers are very few, unless you have better skills than others.
Everyone thinks that Li Mu went to the government department, basically even if he was determined to stay in the team, he would stay in the government department and continue to work in the government department. Historically, this has never been the case, and there has never been a case of a soldier getting this opportunity and then giving it up.
However, Li Mu was the first.
He insisted on returning to his original unit, even if the director of the political department personally talked to him and wanted him to stay. So, in July, he returned to the fifth company in the eyes of everyone's puzzlement.
After thinking about it, Li Mu said in a deep voice, "I'm not suitable to work in an agency, besides, I want to go home." ”
"I'm afraid the latter is the real reason, right?" Xu Yan said, "However, how do I think that going to college is not the real reason why you insist on retiring." ”
Li Mu was silent.
Xu Yan confirmed the guess.
"Is it because of Wu Jun's business?" asked Xu Yan.
Li Mu was still silent.
Xu Yan basically understood, and sure enough, it seemed that it was difficult for Li Mu to get out of the matter of Wu Jun's sacrifice. However, if Li Mu is to be left behind, he must be allowed to come out of it completely.
Some people may say, what do you have to do to Li Muliu to transfer, has he already reached such a useless point? Our People's Liberation Army is full of talents, can we not turn around without him?
However, there is nothing wrong with this, but the key is that today's army attaches great importance to talents, and it is also very lacking in talents, especially in terms of military excellence!
Xu Yan's idea is even simpler, he is not the commander of the military region, he does not have such a big picture view, what he sees and needs to do is to retain talents for the company.
Li Mu is the most special and difficult soldier he has seen in his twelve years in the army. The difficulty of discipline is not that Li Mu does not obey orders, but that it has been almost two years, and all the company cadres, including Xu Yan, have not been able to enter Li Mu's heart and his thoughts.
In other words, despite living together for nearly two years, Li Mu actually never regarded Xu Yan as his own at all!
Xu Yan felt this very strongly, and it was precisely this psychological distance that made him very depressed and deeply frustrated.
However, there is one exception, Wu Jun, Li Mu's platoon commander, and also the guide of Li Mu's military career, but he is no longer there. Xu Yan knew that in Li Mu's heart, he would never be able to catch up with Wu Jun, but no matter what, he had to do his best to find a way to keep Li Mu.
The army needs such talents, and it needs such excellent soldiers with a sense of war!
Moreover, Xu Yan is about to take up a new position, and from his personal point of view, he also needs such a capable non-commissioned officer to assist him in his work.
"I remember when you were in the recruit company, you said at the discussion meeting that although there is no war in the army, you must be mentally prepared to sacrifice at any time, and not being afraid of sacrifice should not be just a slogan. Xu Yan said.
Li Mu was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "Company commander, you remember it so clearly, well, you were not sensible at that time......
"Huh?" Xu Yan's eyes widened.
"Well, it wasn't as old as it is now...... Lao Dao ...... "Li Mu couldn't find a suitable adjective for a long time."
Anyway, that's what it means, how could Xu Yan not understand.
"Li Mu, I know that Wu Jun is very important to you. But the way you are now, will you be what he wants to see?" asked Xu Yan.
Li Mu was puzzled and said, "Company commander, I haven't made any mistakes, I've been quite disciplined recently." ”
Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, especially when he saw Li Mu pretending to be innocent, he especially wanted to take off his belt and smoke. If it weren't for the dead of night and in the camp, I'm afraid Xu Yan would have to scold him angrily to relieve his dissatisfaction.
"I mean your thoughts!" Xu Yan pointed to his temple, and when he said through a bit of gritted teeth, his finger poked at Li Mu's head.
Li Mu didn't scare him, and before Xu Yan continued to develop his firepower, he hurriedly said, "Company commander, I feel pretty good." You praised me last time and said that you were a model of changing your mind and being a new person......"
"What a change of mind, what are you talking nonsense!" Xu Yan interrupted him.
"Yes, yes, I didn't use the right words, anyway, you praised me in front of the whole company at the last meeting, is there such a thing?" Li Mu said and observed Xu Yan's face, "Since there is, then how can you say that I have a problem with my thinking?"
Xu Yan really didn't have the words to go back for a while, he didn't know that Li Mu was a good speaker and could speak. Usually this thing rarely speaks, but when it comes to it, many people can't compare, and the instructor sometimes can't talk about him.
In the current situation, Xu Yan knew that it was no longer appropriate to raise the topic of hoping that Li Mu would be transferred to a non-commissioned officer at this time, so he could only continue to hold back, waiting for a more appropriate time, or as the instructor said, return to the camp and make plans, anyway, there is still time.
He waved his hand vigorously. Xu Yan looked at the time and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it here tonight, and I'll go around the other posts." ”
"Goodbye, company commander. ”
"Be vigilant, the command may check the post tonight. ”
Seeing the company commander's back quickly disappear into darkness, Li Mu smiled in his heart, "Yes!"
Look around, restless nights, because of the howling of the sea breeze, driving the leaves to dance. The smile on Li Mu's face disappeared instantly, and he returned to expressionless......
