Chapter 45: The Depth of Water
The Sea Lion City Garrison Corps is under the jurisdiction of the North City Guard Corps, and its status in Sea Lion City is not as high as Geng Jiangyue imagined. Among the 9 super buildings in the first district of the South City, the North City Guard Corps was given the number 8, which is only higher than the "North City Administration of Sea Lion City" located in Building 9, and ranks second to last among the central units directly under the Sea Lion City.
Based on the superficial knowledge of social management learned from the general education class, Geng Jiangyue judged that Xu Shuai, the head of the regiment, should probably be the tail of the crane in the middle of the sea lion city, and it will take many years to climb to the most central position of the sea lion city. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the person in charge of an entire defense regiment is only the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Presumably, there should be at least two or more layers of supervision and decision-making bodies above the North City Guard Corps.
At the top of the decision-making body, needless to say, is naturally the permanent management bureau of the Joint Assembly of the Urban Affairs Management Committee of the Sea Lion City Council, referred to as the Sea Lion City Standing Bureau - the director of the Municipal Standing Bureau, who holds the appointment power of the commissioner in charge of the city hall, and also serves as the commander-in-chief of the Sea Lion City Combat Readiness Center, with the exaggerated rank of five-star general. As for the bottom, the specific institution Geng Jiangyue is completely impossible to guess.
Because I haven't even seen second-hand materials, I can't do "imaginary" analysis at all, which is commonly known as blind guessing.
When Geng Jiangyue came to Building 8 in Nancheng by commuter car, he even saw the statues of the previous directors in front of the gate of Building 8, 256 years, counting the current ones, a total of four directors.
"Why is this statue located in Building 8? Isn't it more appropriate to place it in Building 1?" Geng Jiangyue asked Wang Yaojing and Mengmeng in confusion as he passed by the large square in front of Building 8.
Wang Yaojing shrugged his shoulders and replied in an indifferent tone: "Whatever, it has a fart relationship with us!"
Pu Xiang seemed to be a jack of all trades, explaining: "This is going to talk about the history of the Sea Lion City, when the Sea Lion City was first built, the difference between the north and the south was not so big, and for a while, the north was the city center of the Sea Lion City. The first statue here was cast in honor of the father of the city of Sea Lion, when the garrison was not divided into two factions, the north and south, and there is also a city history museum in Building 8, so this statue can be seen purely as a work of art.
Later, when the second generation came up, the people below wanted to pat the sycophants, so they also built another one next to the father of the nation, so that when the third generation also had a statue, it would officially become a convention. Our current four-generation statues were just erected a few years ago, and in the future, it may be that as soon as the new director of the Municipal Standing Bureau takes office, he will immediately erect a bronze statue. ”
Geng Jiangyue couldn't help asking, "Then when will the fifth one come up?"
"Ouch, I'll go!" Wang Yaojing shouted out laughing.
Pu Xiang hurriedly said: "Ancestor, can you ask this question? Is it okay to take it a little leisurely? If you do this, I will scare you out of a heart attack sooner or later!" Having said that, there was no fear on his face.
At least on the surface, Sea Lion City still has a strong emphasis on human rights.
The vast majority of citizens are not invited to tea by the police system for saying the wrong thing.
Not to mention, Geng Jiangyue is also a corporal now.
As a member of the vested interest class, he talked about this with Puxiang in nature, which was similar in nature. As long as you don't really come up with any strategy for rebellion, it's really not a big deal to talk about it occasionally.
The four of them walked into the Building 8 building, and Geng Jiangyue looked around curiously, which was very novel.
Building 8, located in the first district of the southern city, is obviously very different from the buildings 31 and 96 where he once lived. There is no idleness in the north of the city, and entering the door gives Geng Jiangyue a sense of solemnity.
The No. 1 vestibule on the first floor is flanked by office windows with a three-digit number at a glance.
Although more than half of the windows were still closed at this time, it obviously did not prevent Geng Jiangyue from coming over to do business.
Puxiang led Geng Jiangyue, first took the number from the number machine at the door, and then waited all the way to the No. 86 window, just as a first-class soldier in front of him had just walked away, Geng Jiangyue went up seamlessly.
The sergeant sitting in the window glanced at the rank on the shoulders of the tall Puxiang and Wang Yaojing, looked like he hadn't slept enough, and muttered: "What day is today, there are so many people queuing up early in the morning?"
Geng Jiangyue turned around and looked behind him, the hall was obviously very empty, and he was the only one on his side.
While he was holding back his words, the sergeant asked Pu Xiang, "Sir, who is doing the business?"
"Him. Pu Xiang smiled and pointed at Geng Jiangyue, "I just came to report, and the personnel information has changed." ”
When the sergeant heard this, he looked at Geng Jiangyue's military rank again, his face suddenly looked a lot better, and he was surprised: "Wow, you graduated with a master's degree at such a young age, how old are you this year?"
"Master's degree?" Geng Jiangyue was a little confused, and replied casually, "14 years old." ”
"Wow, isn't that a 12-year-old graduate school?4-year-old elementary school?" the sergeant in the window was even more surprised.
Mengmeng couldn't help it, and explained the misunderstanding: "He is a special recruit, not a non-commissioned officer who graduated with a master's degree." ”
When the sergeant in the window heard this, he was full of excitement, and he disappeared all of a sudden.
"Mistaken? I said how could I go to elementary school at the age of four, it turned out to be a special recruitment......" He muttered to himself, returning to his lazy and lazy state, and with a little disdain, he stretched out his hand towards Geng Jiangyue in a stiff tone, "Give me the citizen card and military ID card." ”
Geng Jiangyue let out an honest sigh, took out the citizen card and documents from his pocket and handed them over.
The sergeant took the things, didn't say a word of nonsense, and after operating the computer for two minutes, he suddenly handed out a voucher from the window and said to Geng Jiangyue bluntly: "Okay, go to the No. 13 window of the personnel department to get something." ”
Geng Jiangyue couldn't help but ask more: "Is this the end?"
"What else do you want?" the sergeant asked in a funny tone.
"Xiao Geng, the internal affairs of the guard army are very fast. Pu Xiang hurriedly pulled Geng Jiangyue away, and by the way, he didn't forget to turn around and thank the sergeant in the window.
Geng Jiangyue followed Pu Xiang away, and when there was no one on the side, he asked Pu Xiang in confusion: "Brother Pu Xiang, do you still need to be so polite to the sergeant as a lieutenant?"
"What lieutenant sergeant...... Pu Xiang explained with a sigh on his face, "Do you think the window work is so easy to find? I work for a few hours a day, go to work at 9 o'clock in the morning, leave work at 11 o'clock, take a break for an hour at noon, and go home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. ”
Geng Jiangyue asked, "Then why don't you apply to do this?"
Pu Xiang smirked a few times.
Wang Yaojing put one hand on Geng Jiangyue's shoulder and sighed lightly: "I'll tell you when there is no one later." The water in our sea lion city is deep. ”
