Chapter 30: Old squad leader, old platoon leader

Maybe Yu Anbang is far from being able to reach the title of "old squad leader", after all, he is only in his fifth year, and compared with those non-commissioned officers who have been around for more than ten years, he looks very tender, but in Li Mu's heart, Yu Anbang is his old squad leader.

After becoming the acting squad leader of the fifth class and becoming a branch committee, Li Mu addressed the other squad leaders by name, with one exception, that is, Yu Anbang. You must know that only one non-commissioned officer in a platoon can become a branch committee, and Li Mu has become a branch committee member as the acting squad leader of a senior soldier.

The cold wind is blowing in the big camp area, the high ground on the left side of the mountains is the reservoir on the right side, the temperature is relatively low, mainly there is almost no wind around it, and the iconic hilly terrain of the southeast region cannot stop the cold air from Siberia.

Therefore, those who stand guard at night do not put on their coats, and they must be properly frozen into popsicles.

Shrinking his neck, Li Mu took a puff of cigarette and said, "Squad leader, has the list of transfers in your class come out?"

Yu Anbang smiled and said, "There is no list, one ranking of two places, it has long been decided." There is no need to decide, there are only a few of us in a row who are willing to stay, and the comparison of candidates will come out immediately. ”

Seeing Li Mu's sad face, Yu Anbang smiled, "Why, I'm still having a headache about the candidate." ”

"Hmm. Li Mu said sullenly, "Lin Yu and Geng Shuai in our class both want to stay in the team, and now in this situation, it is difficult to choose." ”

"Choice?" Yu Anbang shook his head and said, "You don't have to choose. ”

Li Mu looked at Yu Anbang and asked incomprehensibly, "What do you say?"

Breathing out a cigarette, Yu Anbang said, "I think you're thinking too much." Lin Yu and Geng Shuai won't let you make such a choice. You should know them better than I do. ”

"What do you mean......" Li Mu pondered.

"Hmm. Yu Anbang said in a deep voice, "The current situation is actually very clear. Lin Yu's second-class merit is proper, and if he killed the fugitive, this credit will be confirmed. In such a comparison, Geng Shuai has no chance of winning. Li Mu, he can only retire. ”

Mu Li sighed, Lin Yu and Geng Shuai, no matter who retired, he was uncomfortable. The problem is that for the two of them, joining the army is not an obligation, but a way out. The way out for rural children, Guangzong Yao's parents can hold up their chests when they go out, and they will not be bullied by the two dogs of the village chief's family.

"Okay, I know what you kid is thinking, but I tell you, on this issue, you can't talk about any righteousness, don't make a mistake. The army has rules for the troops, how to come, how to come. Don't forget, you're still carrying a punishment. Yu Anbang said with a warning, and he dared to say that about Li Mu.

"At noon, the instructor sued me that the punishment was not put into the file. Li Mu said.

Yu Anbang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "Well, the instructor is still quite good." I'm about to leave, so don't talk to him, communicate more. ”

Li Mu tugged at the corners of his mouth, couldn't see what he meant, changed the topic and said, "Squad leader, why don't you apply to sign the second installment?"

Yu Anbang is the only one in the entire second battalion who has participated in the hunter training, and if he applies for the second phase, he will definitely have no problem. Xu Yan was very puzzled by his determination to retire from the army.

"I'm tired. Yu Anbang said his heart, "As the old saying goes, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both." In the past five years, no matter how you say it, you have been loyal to the country, and it is time to go home and do your filial piety. ”

Li Mu was silent, this topic has always been very heavy. The common people will never be able to understand the bitterness and tiredness in the hearts of soldiers, and that cannot be eliminated by shouting slogans and ideology. After all, people live in the world, and no matter how noble the spiritual level is, they can't escape firewood, rice, oil and salt.

In the same way, as Yu Anbang said, he has been loyal to the country for five years, which is enough.

Frowning, Li Mu said, "When I was in the agency, I heard that the future salary will be gradually improved, and the ultimate goal is to be equal or slightly higher than the same labor in society." ”

Yu Anbang nodded, "I've heard about this too." The addition of 300 yuan last year is a good sign. But it's still low, look at me, in the fifth year, I get less than two thousand five a month. Li Mu, how can I tell you? I'm also very struggling. I'm not saying that I died in the eyes of money, but this amount of money is really not enough. ”

Li Mu understands very well that Yu Anbang is also a child of a peasant family, and he may have crossed the subsistence line, but he definitely did not reach a well-off life. Yu Anbang has a younger brother, and the younger brother has a partner, and the family is ready to build a house. The pressure is also visible.

It's not that they don't want to stay, but that the troops can't keep talent!!

Don't put your head on your waistband and work hard, but the report you get is not as good as sitting in the office typing on the keyboard, where to talk about fairness, where to talk about working for the country? Before the war a few decades ago, **** knew that it sounded, and there was a fee for pulling out, could it be that today's Chinese People's Liberation Army can't even meet the basic material needs of the soldiers?

The world's second largest economy.

Therefore, whenever the military expenditure was increased, when some countries were noisy, the soldiers were eager to carry their rifles and kill them to liberate them.

And those ordinary people who think that the soldiers are local tyrants don't know what dedication is!

Conscripts for two years, receiving an allowance of 202 yuan per month, risking their lives to engage in training, breaking their hands and feet, blowing their targets, and even giving their lives.

Thinking of this, the blood in Li Mu's chest was about to gush out, so he couldn't control it, turned into a long breath, and said, "Squad leader, I believe this will be real." Perhaps, the salary of a non-commissioned officer in the first phase will eventually reach four thousand. I am afraid that the navy and air force will reach 5,000. ”

"If that's the case, it's worth staying and doing it for life. Yu Anbang said, but the words changed, "Don't talk about me, I have already made up my mind, and it is useless to say more." ”

Li Mu was silent, took a puff of his cigarette fiercely, and burned it to the end.

Watching Li Mu throw the cigarette butt at his feet and step on it fiercely, Yu Anbang thought silently in his heart, the knot in this kid's heart still hasn't been untied.

"Li Mu, put it down. Yu Anbang said.

Looking at Yu Anbang, Li Mu knew that what he was thinking in his heart was all in Yu Anbang's eyes.

Li Mu asked, "Squad leader, have you put it down?"

"It's coming. Yu Anbang said, "I believe that I am going to let go." ”

Li Mu was silent, and in the faint moonlight, he could see that his eyes began to shine.

"The platoon commander must not want you to indulge in self-blame. Yu Anbang said, "Take 10,000 steps back, you don't have any responsibility, if you are responsible, then don't I deserve death?"

"Squad Leader......"

"I know. Yu Anbang said, "Platoon Commander Wu Jun is very important in your heart. I haven't told you that when I was a recruit, the platoon commander of the Wu Army was my squad leader, and he was promoted after he left the company. He's important to me. ”

Li Mu shook his head lightly in pain and whispered, "Squad leader, I can't let go of ......"
