Reports

Zhou Qiang and Jin Weiguo, who were silent in the office, heard the voice of the orderly at the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Qiang didn't bother to get up and open the door, and asked through the door.

"Report to the team leader, the senior staff officer of the division headquarters and the director of the logistics department, Director Li, have come to the camp."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, got up and opened the door. Straightened up his clothes, "Where's it?" ”

"Just arrived at the camp gate." The orderly stepped aside and replied.

"Let's go, go and meet you." The two of them left the office and hurried towards the camp gate. Before leaving, Jin Weiguo instructed the orderly soldiers to tidy up the office and make tea.

The moment he saw Li Shiwei, Zhou Qiang seemed to have a stable heart, and after saluting each other. Staff Officer Gao and Li Shiwei shook their hands respectively and said, "I'm really sorry, I came early in the morning and caused you trouble." ”

"Where! Where! After exchanging pleasantries, Senior Staff Officer said to Zhou Qiang: "I am here today to convey the spirit of the document of the division headquarters meeting last night. Director Li is here to assist us in refining the document plan. ”

Zhou Qiang hurriedly made an inviting gesture and walked in the direction of the office.

Several people returned to the office and sat down, and Jin Weiguo hurriedly handed over the freshly brewed tea and asked the orderlies to leave.

"Recently, in order to better maintain the stability of the defense line, the division headquarters held a meeting last night to decide on some new ideas, and there were some new instructions on the requirements for border defense." Picking up the teacup, the senior staff officer first said a word to guide the topic.

Zhou Qiang and Jin Weiguo also cheered up and looked at Staff Officer Gao.

After taking a sip of tea, Staff Officer Gao then said: "To expand the scope of patrol defense, the specific implementation time is uncertain for the time being, and it must be determined according to the actual implementation situation after the expansion of depth, which will have greater work pressure for our front-line officers and men!" ”

"No matter how many tasks are crossed, please rest assured that we will resolutely carry out them in place, and we will never talk about conditions, which is our duty as soldiers." Zhou Qiang hurriedly stated that this is not the time to talk about difficulties and conditions, and he must first express his attitude.

"Our border guards are working very hard, and this new directive has indeed increased the difficulty for our border guards." The tone of the senior staff officer was still very approving.

"The main reason is that there has been intelligence recently that the spy agencies of neighboring countries have used the identities of some border residents to go deep into the border and create some incidents, and the police and local governments have invested too much energy in this. In order to reduce the pressure on the local government, the new directive came after the talks between the parties. Staff Officer Gao then introduced the source of the problem.

"After research, on the basis of the existing foundation, the best way is to widen the depth of our border patrol so that these spies have no space to use. As long as they dare to appear, then let them come and can't get out. "This is the determination of a soldier, so the senior staff officer said it very definitely.

"It's just that in this way, the intensity of the work of the personnel in our defense zone will increase. Of course, according to the requirements of the division headquarters, the logistics department will also add some necessary equipment to assist the border defense to achieve the goal without increasing the number of troops, but without increasing the pressure on the soldiers and the front line. ”

Staff Officer Gao continued: "Therefore, the division headquarters also asked us and the logistics department to conduct a joint on-the-spot investigation as soon as possible, and what were the practical difficulties of the officers and men on the front line, and which ones needed to be coordinated and dealt with by us. So, didn't I just put the first stop in the 2nd Brigade with Director Li, and I came uninvited, don't mind the two of you! ”

Zhou Qiang hurriedly said, "How come? It's too late for us to welcome! The first stop came to our 2nd brigade, which shows that the leaders attach great importance to us, and we feel very relieved and happy that it is too late! ”

After speaking, Zhou Qiang glanced at Jin Weiguo: "Old Jin, right?" ”

Jin Weiguo didn't understand anything, and continued: "Yes! Oh, yes! To say that this kind of treatment is the first time for us, and we are a little flattered! ”

After Jin Weiguo's haha and deliberate flattery, he asked: "It's just that there is a standard for this depth." On normal patrols, the depth of our defensive line is about 5 kilometers, which is a distance where both the field of vision and the pursuit can react quickly. Is there a hard and fast rule on the division headquarters to expand the depth of patrol and defense this time......

"20 km." Staff Officer Gao said it word by word, stared straight at Zhou Qiang with his eyes, and then looked at Jin Weiguo.

Then he retracted his gaze and said slowly: "Of course, this involves the ordinary people in the military area. Therefore, this time we have another important task, that is, to solve the problem of abolishing the military administrative region and turning it into a real administrative region. To this end, both the empire and the division headquarters have special funds to assist in the completion of this important task. I brought Director Li with me! Our staff department also has people from the Political Department to liaise with the leaders of the nearest administrative region to discuss and handle specific implementation measures. ”

Zhou Qiang silently read 20 kilometers, 20 kilometers, 20 kilometers in his heart...... The map of the defense area flashed quickly in my head, and a place name flashed, and I was stunned! Really stunned!

He turned his head to look at Jin Weiguo and found that Jin Weiguo seemed to be aware of something. From 5 kilometers to 20 kilometers, this span, from the words of the senior staff officer, the last one is the fundamental task and purpose.

That's right, the distance between the village of Kona and the border is more than 20 kilometers. This is a lot, which refers to the road, but if the line is straightened, it will be about the same.

At this point, Zhou Qiang had to take a long breath and suppress the very strong feeling in his heart, not daring to think or imagine how heavy the meaning behind this task was.

Li Shiwei felt and knew very clearly that as soon as the topic of Staff Officer Gao came out, these two people were absolutely excited.

After all, the next thing still needs the cooperation of the two of them, and he can't pretend anymore.

said to Zhou Qiang and Jin Weiguo: "I came today to accompany the senior staff officer to convey the opinions of the division headquarters in advance, and the document is estimated to be distributed to the major teams in the next two days; The second is to actually come to the brigade to understand what difficulties there are, and our logistics department can also serve you well; Thirdly, and most importantly, the senior staff officer should go to Kona Village to conduct an on-site inspection, so that the task can be completed quickly and accurately, and ensure that other areas also have a template to refer to and implement. ”

"What are your plans or how do you need us to cooperate?" Zhou Qiang turned his head and asked Staff Officer Gao.

"I'm going to make arrangements for you later, I will go to Kona Village with Captain Zhou Qiangqiang, and invite the representatives of the villagers of Kona Village to our forefront border defense to have a look, and you should pay attention to the safety of the villagers." Staff Officer Gao said the key actions of this trip.

"Take a look?" Zhou Qiang was a little surprised.

"Yes, take a look at the border posts of neighboring countries, and then look at our weapons and equipment. The transport unit of the logistics department is in the back, and a new batch of mountain patrol vehicles will arrive at your camp in a moment. Arrange for a few people, and when the time comes, one person will bring a villager representative with us. This batch of patrol cars is specially customized for border patrols, which enhances off-road performance and is very suitable for use in our border defense line. The first batch will be put into your brigade as a pilot, and you will have to write a detailed report to the logistics department in the future! In the end, Staff Officer Gao made a little joke half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If the patrol car is not satisfied, you can complain to Director Li." ”

Li Shiwei also took over as a matter of course: "That's for sure, if there is anything dissatisfied, our logistics department will definitely contact the production and supply unit for rectification as soon as possible." The design should meet the needs is the most important, and this time there were also accompanying engineers who came to take a test drive to experience the real use. ”

The topic of the four of them was relaxed for a while, without mentioning it in particular, let alone specifically targeting a certain topic, and they were all waiting for the arrival of the patrol car.

For Zhou Qiang and Jin Weiguo, the arrival of Staff Officer Gao was an accident, although things must be normal work and tasks.

However, the senior staff officer represents the division headquarters, and they only need to cooperate well. I am really looking forward to the new patrol car, and I also expressed my deep gratitude, no matter what, it is a very happy thing for them to be able to reduce the patrol intensity of the soldiers.

After chatting a few words, Staff Officer Gao motioned to Li Shiwei to Zhou Qiang and them: "In addition, the logistics office may have to transfer two soldiers from you who are familiar with the border defense situation and the situation in Kona Village to assist in the work of our staff headquarters and logistics office. The appointment should be later today, and the 2nd Brigade will be notified, and I hope that Captain Zhou will support the work. ”

Zhou Qiang and Jin Weiguo seemed to understand this final appointment arrangement. Deep down in my heart, I feel small for myself again, and the one who leads the army still doesn't have enough knowledge and handling of interpersonal relationships, and easily takes people away, and the problems are taken away for you.

If this is the case, the 2nd Brigade will not be able to "write" the report properly, and the level of conduct will be poor.

It seems that the business has been said, and the four of them are walking around the camp, which can be regarded as a kind of inspection of the border work, and by the way, waiting for the arrival of the patrol car.

Li Shiwei stopped as he walked and said, "I'm really sorry, I've been holding back all the way." ”

This is going to the toilet, and he glanced at Zhou Qiang again.

Zhou Qiang comprehended and said to Jin Weiguo: "You first accompany the senior staff officer to take a look around." I accompanied Director Li to the bathroom. ”

The four separated, and Zhou Qiang led Li Shiwei to the bathroom in the camp.

Li Shiwei glanced at the back, sighed, and still had to make some words clear: "Captain Zhou, there are several villages in the military administrative region that have been replaced by administrative regions this time, and the task is relatively heavy. At this juncture, some things are not suitable for expansion and increase the difficulty of work. For the sake of the big picture, sometimes there are still some personal sacrifices. Hao'er has the responsibility this time, and it is better to deal with some misunderstandings as misunderstandings. Of course, we can't be rude to one thing, and the other soldier, after he is transferred to the logistics department, I will communicate with him in detail. For the sake of the big picture, I believe that our soldiers can understand and realize this. ”

Zhou Qiang knew what Li Shiwei meant, and said with some embarrassment: "Kona Village needs an answer." ”

Li Shiwei randomly told him not to worry, this time he accompanied Staff Officer Gao, and he mainly wanted to coordinate this matter.

Zhou Qiang saw that Li Shiwei had already stood up to deal with it by himself, and his heart was a little relaxed. Li Shiwei will definitely find a way to get the matter done, and if you get the person away, then you will continue to deal with the matter.

As for the result, no matter what it was, at least I did not harm the interests of my soldiers in front of the officers and men of the brigade. He said to Li Shiwei: "Tonight, I will write a report on what I already know and hand it over to the regiment headquarters." It means to tell Li Shiwei that since you want to solve it, you should coordinate and handle it, and don't let the regiment headquarters return the report.

……

After going to the toilet, the four of them looked around together for less than half an hour. The support truck for the logistics department to transport the patrol car arrived, and after unloading it at the camp, it was too late to put it into storage, and after counting the quantity, it was immediately put into test mode after filling up the tank.

Staff Officer Gao and Zhou Qiang took a squad of soldiers and immediately set off for Kona Village, and Li Shiwei and Jin Weiguo went to the forefront outpost together.

In fact, Li Shiwei also wanted to go to Kona Village together, but he knew that at this time, the affairs of the senior staff officer were the most important, and with the senior staff officer coordinating the affairs of the military administrative area, there would be a reason for him to intervene later.

The words are divided into two ends. When Staff Officer Gao and Zhou Qiang arrived at Kona Village, Zhou Qiang first notified the soldiers who stayed behind to return, leaving the soldiers sitting in the back seat of the patrol car to stay behind, and the soldiers driving in the front row drove the patrol car to the entrance of Kona Village.

Stopping the car, Staff Officer Gao and Zhou Qiang walked into the village. Someone had already seen the patrol car coming over and notified Fang Zhenhai, so he met the two of them just a few steps after walking into the village.

"Captain Zhou, please make another trip." Fang Zhenhai hurriedly said politely.

"This is the senior staff officer of our division headquarters, and this is the village chief Fang." Zhou Qiang also introduced the two.

After entering the village, Staff Officer Gao proposed to visit the village, Fang Zhenhai took the two of them for a walk in the village, and Staff Officer Gao sighed that the life in their Kona Village was still too simple, and he was a little ashamed of the villagers.

Fang Zhenhai suddenly felt a little bad, and felt that his heart was filled with a stone.

When he passed by the door of a house, he commanded the boy of that family, and asked him to inform the clan elders in the village to come to his house, saying that there was a distinguished guest, and they should come and sit together.

After turning around, he returned to his house, and the village elders gradually arrived.

After politely giving up his seat to greet him, Fang Zhenhai looked at Staff Officer Gao and asked, "Is there anything important when Staff Officer Gao came to the village for the first time?" ”

Of course, Senior Staff Officer would not directly say the purpose: "Brother Fang, I also want all the clan elders, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but there are always such and such things delayed." I am only here now, and I hope you will not blame it. I came today to visit you on behalf of our division headquarters, and I usually don't take enough care of the villagers, so I also came to ask for sin. ”

This is really hard for Fang Zhenhai to accept. Hurriedly said: "Senior staff officer is serious, we are already very concerned by the government." ”

The original intention of this statement is not wrong, at least he became the village head, and the communication between the people in the village and the outside world was basically the help of the garrison. Hitchhiking is a common thing, and the exchange and purchase of daily necessities are all helped a lot by the garrison.

Staff Officer Gao looked at Fang Zhenhai's reply, which did not seem to be a lie, so he said directly: "In addition, I also want to invite Brother Fang and all the clan elders to visit our border guard post for guidance." ”

Fang Zhenhai and a group of clan elders were completely blinded, thinking that Staff Officer Gao came to the village for yesterday's events. As a result, they did not say a word, and from the beginning of their entry into the village, they have been expressing their lack of care for the village of Kona, and now they are invited to visit the outpost.

Is that a place where ordinary people can go? Although there were contacts with the border garrison, there was never a matter of entering the sentry post.

Looking at their appearance, Staff Officer Gao knew that these people didn't understand, and of course he didn't plan to explain it now. smiled and said: "Actually, I have wanted you to visit for a long time, and this time we happen to have a new patrol car at the border, so I don't have to work so hard to measure the road, so I came to invite everyone." ”

After speaking, he got up and invited a group of people to come to the entrance of the village, and when he saw the novel patrol car, Fang Zhenhai eased his nervousness a little.

When they all arrived at the entrance of the village, Staff Officer Gao was naturally invited to get in the car, except for the older ones, plus Fang Zhenhai, a total of 5 people got into the patrol car and went to the border post.

There are no words along the way, each with his own thoughts.

When they arrived at the outpost, Li Shiwei and Jin Weiguo had already arrived in advance and made arrangements.

Staff Officer Gao stood on the lookout post of the outpost together with several people from Kona Village, pointed to the direction of less than 2 kilometers on the opposite side and said, "That is the outpost of the Barbarian Country." It's close! ”

The soldiers handed over the binoculars, and the senior staff officer then said to them, "Look next to their sentry, those weapons can easily hit here, and if you shoot from a distance, you can drop shells directly into your village." ”

Staff Officer Gao's words made Fang Zhenhai and the entourage a little dazed, and before they came to their senses, they pointed to the sentry and said, "Look at our feet again." We have more advanced weapons that can make the opponent's sentry disappear in an instant. In times of peace, such conflicts are rare, but accidents are always avoided. ”

Then he introduced some basic common sense of the coverage of the arms on both sides, and the more he listened, the more frightened Fang Zhenhai and the clan elders of Kona Village were.

Afterwards, everyone walked down the lookout post together. Seemingly casually, he asked Fang Zhenhai: "Village Chief Fang, after the establishment of the Rafa Empire, except for natural disasters, how many years has Kona Village not been relocated?" ”

Fang Zhenhai was stunned for a moment, and randomly recalled: "If I remember correctly, since my great-grandfather's generation, I haven't moved, and it seems that I have been relocated two or three times before because of flash floods." ”

Staff Officer Gao continued: "Yes, it is not easy to be peaceful for more than a hundred years! Recently, some countries have not been accustomed to our tranquility and development, and have disguised themselves as local villagers and often crossed the border, some of them smuggled, and some of them harmed the safety of the common people. We are also actively trying to find ways to deal with it, no matter how many times we ask him to come and catch one by one, he can't go back. ”

Fang Zhenhai could only laugh with him, not knowing how to answer. This is a topic that he, as a village chief, can participate in. It wasn't until he left the outpost and was about to return that the senior staff officer said again: "Village Chief Fang, I hope you can support our work more, and everyone will work together to maintain the security of the border defense, and only when there is peace can there be true happiness and tranquility." ”

"Of course it is supported, it must be supported." Fang Zhenhai also said it sincerely.

"With your words, we are relieved." Staff Officer Gao looked relieved.

However, what Fang Zhenhai and the clan elders didn't expect was that after coming out of the outpost, the group went to the back of the camp of the 2nd brigade. There was a small hill behind the camp not far from the camp, and Staff Officer Gao took the group out of the car and walked to a large area on the hill with a relatively open view.

Staff Officer Gao pointed to the tombstones in front of him one by one and said, "Village Chief Fang, as well as the clan elders, this is a special place for heroes. Because, here is the tomb of the soldiers who died in our border guards for more than 200 years. For those fighters who can't go home, we give them a guide to go home. Since the establishment of the empire, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who have not returned home have remained here, so that we can always remember the importance of peace. These are heroes worthy of our eternal memory! ”

The senior staff officer took the lead in saluting the tombstone, and all the servicemen stood up to the standard and saluted the tombstone of the martyrs. Fang Zhenhai and the clan elders of Kona Village also bent down.

Everyone has a sense of heaviness, and special places always make people have a special flow of emotions. Returning to the camp from Xiaoshangang, in the canteen that had already been arranged, a large table of food had been set up on the table.

Wine was prepared for the people of Kona on the table, and several members of the army substituted water for wine.

Staff Officer Gao stood up with his cup in his hand and said, "Today, we are very welcome to the villagers of Kona Village, and it also makes our soldiers more aware of how important the task of protecting peace is. I would also like to thank them for their continued support, and Director Li and I will discuss with everyone in Kona Village in the next work, and we will work together for peace. ”

In the next two days, Staff Officer Gao and Li Shiwei set up tents outside Kona Village and stayed there.

Then, for the first time in history, there was a major event in the history of Kona that was not an accident, but the whole village took action.
