From the Junggar Basin to the north, there is the magnificent Altai Mountains, and from the southern hills to the north, the hilly plains show a trend of rising layers and obvious stepped terrain.

Between the glaciers and snow-capped mountains in the north, the border lines of the three countries meet there. In terms of climate, the average temperature is only 21 degrees Celsius in July, the coldest month of the year, and the lowest temperature in January can reach minus 42 degrees Celsius, with an average temperature of -16 degrees Celsius.

This is the climate and topography of Li Mu's new site.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of December 15, on the side of the exit passage of the arrival area of Altai Airport, a snow camouflage warrior car and a jungle camouflage cheetah car were parked on the side of the road, two officers in winter coats stood there smoking, talking from time to time, and the two drivers leaned on the other side, talking with their hands in their trouser pockets, and stomping their feet from time to time to resist the cold.

Since the beginning of winter, the temperature in the Altai region has dropped continuously, and heavy snowfall has fallen several times. At this time, the people in the south of the motherland still wear short sleeves.

Among the two officers, a colonel in his 40s who looks a little rich and has more conspicuous cheeks is Chen Guofu, the commander of the military division, who is wearing a Type 07 Lei Feng hat on his head and a winter desert camouflage coat, which looks a little bloated. The Lei Feng hat is a big cotton hat, which is almost useless for the troops in the southern region, but among the officers and soldiers in the northern region, it is a tool with frequent wear and tear.

The younger and very tall lieutenant colonel standing next to Chen Guofu was Zhao Xigui, deputy political commissar of the military sub-district, who was also wearing a desert camouflage coat, but a camouflage cap on his head, standing there with one hand behind his back, facing the exit of the arrival area, looking more like a leader than Chen Guofu.

The sky was gray, the cold wind from Siberia was blowing, and the snow that had fallen yesterday had turned into water, and it was especially cold.

"It's been half an hour. Zhao Xigui looked at the time again and said.

Chen Guofu took out the cigarette and divided it, blocking the wind, and when he spoke, the smoke and heat came out together, "Then you have to wait." The Qincha who came from the headquarters can't be neglected. ”

"Commander, he's not a chap, it's still unknown whether people will come and leave. Zhao Xigui smiled and said, "I see, our days are sad." ”

Chen Guofu couldn't laugh, "Gao Yuliang's bastard, I already saw that he was not pleasing to the eye." ”

"But you can't help it, after all, he was the secretary of the old chief, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, besides, he is a cadre directly in charge of the military region, and with his behavior, it will be sooner or later. Zhao Xigui said.

Chen Guofu snorted coldly and said, "I don't care if he is dead or alive, but because of him, he has a group with me." Now the head of the headquarters knows that there is a 701 regiment, and I, the commander of the military division, are well-known throughout the army. ”

"Hi ......"

Zhao Xigui sighed and said, "In the final analysis, we have the right to manage the border defense regiment, and if there is a problem with the border defense regiment, we can't escape from it." ”

Looking at the exit of the arrival area, Chen Guofu sighed again and said, "I hope that this Commander Li will be merciful and can fully understand the hardships of our grassroots." ”

"Commander of the Wealth of Nations, I'm afraid it's not so simple. Zhao Xigui said in a deep voice, "You think, this matter has gone to the headquarters, Gao Yuliang, this kid can be said to be notorious, and even our military division has been affected." ”

After a pause, Zhao Xigui looked at Chen Guofu and said, "Commander Guofu, Gao Yuliang is the commander of the regiment with old qualifications, he has served in the Atai region for ten years, worked in the Political Department of the military subdivision for six years, and worked in the 701 regiment for four years, which can be described as deep-rooted. Tell me, there are still cadres who have not been influenced by him, who are passively waiting for war, and their military training is a mess, and their political work is a mess. This time, it was Zamat who ran away from their defense zone, and the problem was exposed. Who knows if the other troops are just as undisciplined?"

Chen Guofu said in a deep voice: "The joint investigation team of the headquarters organ and the military region organ has just left, and it is estimated that the results of Gao Yuliang's handling will come out soon. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will lead the team down to the grassroots level, I will run point by point, one unit at a time, and I will not believe it, whether they are all full and supported. ”

Sighing lightly, Zhao Xigui said softly, "It's hard to return, and you have to take strong medicine for stubborn diseases." Let's look forward to the new Grand Master Li bringing a prescription. ”

Chen Guofu glared at Zhao Xigui, "Xigui, are you dizzy." Do you want us to take this strong medicine? Or let the newcomer Li Mu take this strong medicine? Then what do you want us to do, you and I will pack up and get out of the bed as soon as possible. ”

"Old squad leader, why are you still so impulsive. Zhao Xigui smiled and said, "I mean, let him rush in front." Didn't he come down from the headquarters, with Shang Fang's sword, then let him rush. Whether he rushed away or fell, we are in the back, and we can act at the opportunity. ”

Chen Guofu raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly, "You mean, let him be a buffer zone between us and Gao Yuliang?"

Zhao Xigui nodded affirmatively and said, "Gao Yuliang and these people are deeply rooted, and it is very unfavorable for us to have a head-on conflict. With the newcomer rushing to the front, we have strategic depth, and with strategic depth, won't we have more room for maneuver. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Chen Guofu pointed at Zhao Xigui and said, "Your deputy political commissar has done it, come to me as chief of staff." ”

“...... Old squad leader, don't be kidding. ”

The deputy political commissar is the leader of the military sub-district, and the chief of staff is the head of the military sub-district headquarters. The deputy commander, like the deputy commissar, is the superior of the chief of staff if the factor of being in charge of the work is not taken into account.

The reason why the position of chief of staff is very valuable in the eyes of many people is that the chief of staff controls the most important department of a force, the headquarters. In wartime, the chief of staff will even skip other deputy positions to become the third chief of a unit, that is, the most powerful chief besides the military and political chiefs.

The Atai military sub-district is a division-level unit, and the organs of the military sub-division include the headquarters, the political department, the logistics department, and the equipment department, and the boss of the headquarters is called the chief of staff, and the boss of the political department is called the director, and the suffixes of the latter two are ministers. Some comrades think that the chief of staff is the head of the unit, but in fact it is not, for example, a division, the division commander, the political commissar and other deputies, the deputy division commander and the deputy political commissar, these are the leaders of the unit.

The leaders of the following four major departments, that is, the four major departments listed above, are not within the scope of the head of the troops.

Among the four major ministries, the highest and most important is of course the headquarters. There is also a misunderstanding here, many people think that the headquarters is an organ, but in fact, the organ includes the four major departments and some directly subordinate units. Earlier in this book, we often mentioned the organs of military regions, the headquarters of military regions, the organs of group armies, the headquarters of group armies, and so on.

If you are going to the headquarters of a military agency to find someone, then usually, counting from the bottom to the top, the fourth floor must be the office floor of the headquarters. The command and political organs are the most important, then the logistics organs, and finally the equipment organs.

I hope that these little things will make it clearer for the brothers to read this book.

The fact that the commander and deputy political commissar of the military sub-district greeted Li Mu at the airport at the same time is enough to prove that the Atai military sub-district attaches great importance to Li Mu, or to Li Mu's "special envoy of the headquarters".

It's just that the flight from Wushi was delayed without any suspense, and forty minutes have passed, and there is no shadow of the plane in sight......
