Shi Lei calculated the time, and after about five minutes, he walked out.

He couldn't talk in five minutes, and five hours was in vain—he knew all too well the temperament of the brothers in his class.

He was still a little apprehensive in his heart, although he was inclined to Lin Yu, he didn't want to see the two of them stiff. In the past two years, only people in the bureau can experience the rare and valuable comradeship and brotherhood. Any words of action that undermine this feeling are rejected by everyone.

What made him breathe a sigh of relief and surprise at the same time was that when he walked out of the toilet, he saw Lin Yu and Geng Shuai smiling happily, obviously having just finished the previous topic.

"Leizi is done, let's go, it's time to gather. Geng Shuai said, motioning to Lin Yu to give him the cigarette butt, but Lin Yu shook his head, took the cigarette butt in his hand, and went into the toilet to throw it into the pit.

The three of them walked out together, so Li Mu saw a peaceful scene.

"There's a problem. Zhao Yiyun decisively spit out three words.

Li Mu glanced at him, stood up, took out the whistle from his pocket, and the sharp whistle sounded, and everyone in the Fifth Company stood up abruptly and looked over.

"Keep training!"

As the company attendant, Li Mu gave the order to continue training.

Looking back at his fifth class, except for Zhao Yiyun, the expressions of the others were very strange. No matter how much Li Mu tried to break his head, he couldn't figure it out, why Lin Yu and Geng Shuai were suddenly so good that they couldn't wait to wear a pair of underwear? What did these two talk about in private?

His eyes swept over Shi Lei, and Li Mu secretly thought that he had to find a time to ask Shi Lei at night what the situation was.

But when this group of veterans was looking forward to being discharged from the army and meticulously engaged in the queue, Xu Yan also went to the command group of the battalion and met with Deputy Xiong.

Deputy Brigade Commander Xiong is an old leader, and after the old political commissar is gone, he is the oldest in terms of qualifications, and the brigade commander and political commissar are all "new comrades" who have been transferred for less than two years. Deputy Xiong, who is in charge of training himself, has a high prestige among grassroots cadres. There is a grapevine that Vice President Xiong will transfer to the local government within the year.

"Report!"

Xu Yan stood at the door

"Come on, come in. The first impression of many grassroots cadres on Deputy Xiong is that he often does not use a microphone when speaking at meetings. But he is not a northerner.

"Deputy Bear. Xu Yan walked in and stood still in front of the office desktop.

The office is very basic, unbelievably shabby.

This is not an isolated case, but the entire command group building is like this. Many years ago, it was the location of the brigade headquarters, but since the brigade headquarters moved to a town fifty kilometers away, it has been largely deserted. With the rezoning of this area as a large camp, this two-story dilapidated building became the office of the command team.

This command group is a temporary body, and its function is to be responsible for uploading and distributing and managing the entire camp, and it is not part of the establishment.

The large barracks are the largest of the 3rd Brigade's several barracks, which houses all the infantry battalions of the 3rd Brigade. During the working week, there is always a brigade head on duty in the command group, such as a deputy brigade commander, deputy political commissar, or three chiefs and one director of the four major departments.

This week, Deputy Xiong is the head of duty in the command group, to be exact, until all the veterans have eaten the dumplings and retired from active duty and left the barracks, he is the head of duty in the big barracks. This is a special arrangement made by the brigade headquarters to ensure the safety and security of veterans during their discharge.

"Sit!"

Deputy Xiong pointed with his hand, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it.

Xu Yan sat down, his waist straight. If you are facing other leaders, you can relax a little, but in the face of Deputy Xiong, it is best to have a clear eye and do it in place.

"How's it going, the drill is over, how is the company's situation, and how is the year-end summary?" asked Deputy Xiong with a smile.

"The situation of the troops is very good, and they are currently conducting queue and physical training in accordance with the instructions of the headquarters, and at the same time implementing the spirit of the instructions of the Ministry of Political Affairs on strengthening the ideological education of veterans. Xu Yan replied solemnly, "Chief, my company is hurrying to carry out the year-end summary, and we are currently conducting the company's year-end summary." ”

"Hmm. Deputy Xiong nodded, at this time, all the grassroots companies were doing similar work, and asking this question was just a habitual way to open the topic.

Going straight is the character of Deputy Xiong, and sure enough, he said, "The group army put the test of the new type of infantry in our brigade, and the brigade decided to put it in the second battalion." ”

Pointing at Xu Yan, Deputy Xiong smiled, "There will be a formal order soon." You, don't think about changing jobs, the brigade won't approve it. Let's continue to give honestly. ”

Xu Yan said embarrassedly, "Chief, my heart is still in the army. ”

"The second battalion is the foundation of the old 275th Regiment, and I remember that you also came out of the 275th Regiment. Deputy Xiong said.

"Yes, chief, before I went to the military academy, I was a soldier in the 275th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment. Xu Yan replied, and in a trance remembered the great disarmament and reorganization more than ten years ago.

"Veteran. Deputy Xiong was very emotional, because he was the last commander of the 275th Regiment, and as soon as he took office, the troops were about to be reorganized, and he became the shortest term commander of the 275th Regiment!

Many people feel that Deputy Xiong is particularly biased towards the second battalion, because Deputy Xiong was born in the old 275th Regiment, in fact, this is indeed the case.

Who doesn't have a relative, there is no one anywhere.

Xu Yan seemed to hear what Xiong Deputy meant, and the meaning of "veteran" in his mouth was probably not that simple.

Sure enough, despite reaching such a high position as a deputy division cadre, Deputy Xiong's temperament has not changed at all. He knocked down the soot and asked, "What do you think about managing the second battalion?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan's feelings were complicated and full of emotion.

He also heard some gossip, and I don't know when, there were rumors at the brigade headquarters that he would be promoted to battalion commander. Presumably at the end of the exercise. In fact, Xu Yan is mentally prepared to change jobs, and he has been contacting the local receiving unit. This can't be loyal to the country, so try to find a good unit to take responsibility for the family.

The news came out, so Xu Yan was also skeptical, and it wasn't until Deputy Xiong clearly said it that he dared to believe that there was indeed such a thing.

The reason is very simple: The requirements for the rejuvenation of cadres in the army are relatively strict, and it is very rare for a 32-year-old cadre like him to be promoted. You must know that Xu Yan's top superior, the commander of the second battalion, is only twenty-six years old!

"Chief, I don't have any ideas. Xu Yan was a little hasty, and received a notice to say that Deputy Xiong wanted to see him, and he was talking about the matter of returning non-commissioned officers, but he didn't expect that there was also a stubble about his position adjustment.

"No ideas, Xu Yan, I think you have a lot of ideas. Except for you, who knows the second battalion best. At the critical moment, you don't drop the chain for me. Deputy Xiong said, "Yuan Hao is about to go to the Military Academy for further study, and the brigade plans to let you manage the second battalion." ”

"Old Chief. Xu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really not mentally prepared." I'm ready to roll up and get out, and suddenly come to this ......"

"Stand up!"

Deputy Xiong suddenly burst into tears!
