Chapter 120: Plans for the Future
Although subjectively he felt that today's landing operations were very primitive and somewhat dismissive, objectively Zhou Changfeng still studied the course more seriously.
Although he has a more advanced and complete theoretical knowledge reserve of amphibious operations, he cannot copy it rigidly, and it should always be in line with the current situation of the Ming Navy.
In the early morning of the next day, with mustard and fermented bean curd for breakfast, Zhou Changfeng dried up a bowl of porridge and a large meat bun, and just as he was about to leave, he learned the latest military report from the radio.
The commanders of the 12th and 34th Divisions were all questioned for their guilt - they did not carry out the order to stop the attack, but continued to attack the enemy in depth, so that they almost lost their division and humiliated the country!
Although the original intention was good, I wanted to destroy more enemies to boost the country's prestige, but the process was very shocking, and the result could only be said to be lucky.
In fact, despite the saying that "military orders are like mountains", the military is not so strict in this regard, and in many cases it is a bit flexible.
If the front-line commander discovers the fighter plane and chooses to disobey the military order and make his own decision and make great and miraculous achievements, then he can not be blamed; But if you lose the battle because you disobey the military order, then you will have to punish both crimes, and you will be punished severely.
Obviously, Emperor Zhu Shiyan is well aware of this principle, this is the first battle worth mentioning in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and it may also be the rehearsal and beginning of the future war, so it has a strong symbolic and reference significance.
Whether it is sincere for the country or lying for personal gain, the trend of disobeying military orders cannot last, and it cannot pass like this with one eye open and one eye closed, and must be punished for those who come later.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess for others to learn in the future?
After the order was issued, the two division commanders, the commander of the 12th Division, were dismissed and transferred to the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division to take up an idle post, and the commander of the 34th Division was reprimanded by the whole army.
"It doesn't look serious, in fact, it can be said to be a very severe punishment for the two of them, which is equivalent to ruining the future."
After the end of this day's practice, Zhou Changfeng, who had nothing to do, saw that it was still early, so he spontaneously had the idea of going to Xia Xiaoshi.
So, he successfully stuck in time at the school gate to "squat" to the latter after work.
"That's pretty heavy." Xia Xiaoshi blinked, "But their mistakes have made you." ”
"You think so... That's right. ”
The two of them found a nearby restaurant for dinner this time, but it seemed more casual than usual.
Steamed sea bass, salted broad beans, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables were served in just a few moments, and there were not many diners around, about four or five tables, looking like most of them were workers who got off work.
While eating and chatting, the topics seemed to be endless, Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi were talking about the traffic problems in the capital, and they ended up talking about the house.
Speaking of this, the former is really a little embarrassed, although he has a lot of money in his hands today, but he has not yet possessed a corner of the house in this huge capital.
After graduating from middle school, I signed up to go to the capital to study at the Martial Arts Academy, and I didn't have to worry about having no place to live: after graduating from martial arts, I went to the forbidden army to take up a post, and the same is true.
After the eldest sister got married and his mother died of illness, the old house in his hometown in Wuchang County, Wuhan Prefecture was his asset, and he also had a deposit of about 11,000 yuan.
If you don't consider the option of selling the old house, Zhou Changfeng now has more than 5,000 yuan of salary accumulated from his several years of service, 10,000 yuan of military merit reward, 10,000 yuan of "special allowance" from the Intelligence Department, and 5,000 yuan of bonus from the Ordnance Bureau, adding up to less than 31,000.
However, "living in the capital, it is not easy" is not to say that it is fun, a set of standard small courtyard houses in the urban area are starting at 40,000 yuan, and a good location can be as much as 70,000 yuan!
Zhou Changfeng was very helpless to find that he was reluctant to even buy a house, let alone major life events.
But the reason why he said "barely" rather than "can't do it" is because he still has a large amount of savings.
Because the officers of the forbidden army have special benefits in this regard - the officers will issue houses since the captain, but they are all the same kind of small courtyards with monotonous shapes, and they are all located on the outskirts of the city, so everyone generally dislikes them, and usually sells them after they get their hands, and the same is true of the "perimeter wind".
The small courtyard that was sent was sold for 23,000 yuan, and if you add this deposit, you will have a total of more than 50,000 yuan of disposable assets.
This huge amount of money is actually enough to go to a small county town to live a stable life, but in the capital, I can only buy a house and furniture.
“…… When my sister got married, we seemed to have only a bride price of 1,600, but in the end we returned to 8 or 900. Zhou Changfeng picked up vegetables as he spoke, pretending to ask casually: "There should be more here in the capital, right?" ”
"Not necessarily," Xia Xiaoshi sensed the intention of his words, and replied deliberately ambiguously: "Some ask for more, but the dowry is also more; Some also look like they want less, but the dowry is very shabby. ”
Seeing that the routine failed, Zhou Changfeng asked directly, and he smiled: "What about you?" ”
Xia Xiaoshi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "I'm the only one in my family, it depends on whether you are sincere." ”
Generally speaking, if the purpose is not to "extort money" in disguise, then usually the bride price will not be very high, and at the same time, a lot will be returned; If you are more open-minded, you may even not have a bride price - no matter how much you collect, the full amount is added to the dowry, which is equivalent to going through a process.
Zhou Changfeng doesn't care much about this, there is no need to be presumptuous in this regard, no matter how much he does, he is also a real lieutenant colonel, and it is naturally impossible for the old man in the engineering department to not even have this bit of eyesight.
The two continued to chat, and after a while, Xia Xiaoshi asked a very critical question.
"That's... Have you been in the military since then? ”
She felt that her mentality had changed a lot, it was okay to stay in the forbidden army, at least she was safe and didn't have to take risks, but going to the Marine Corps was Zhou Changfeng's choice, and she couldn't dissuade her.
But the battlefield battle is really dangerous, and maybe one day the people will be gone.
"How so?" Zhou Changfeng, who didn't care, said casually: "Yu Zhi, I think it is very suitable for me; Yu Gong, this is also necessary, after all, looking at the north and south of the river, there may be few people who can compare with me in terms of landing operations. ”
In fact, this also involves a longer-term, more ambitious plan.
As far as the current dualistic monarchical constitutional system with local characteristics after many compromises in the Ming Dynasty, let alone her lifetime, it may take more than ten or twenty years to see her collapse.
The current prosperity is only the surface, and there are countless disputes and contradictions inside, which can be regarded as a return to the light in a sense.
Until then, you'll have to stand on your feet, right? Small people can't influence the general trend, and if you want to play a role on the stage of history in the future, you have to take advantage of these years to climb up.
A big war is almost inevitable, and naturally this great opportunity cannot be missed.
