Seeing that Chen Ming just stared at him without saying a word, Xie Canxiong was also a little weak in his heart, and laughed dryly.

"Don't be so stingy, we used to be neighbors and support each other, so I asked you for a little favor so that I wouldn't refuse."

"Hey Lao Chen, don't go."

Before Xie Canxiong finished speaking, he saw Chen Ming turn around and walk towards the fire.

Chen Ming slandered in his heart for a while, and he didn't pay attention to him.

This guy doesn't know where to pick a place to speak, the division conference has just ended, even if he wants to go through the back door and get some benefits, he can't stand at the gate, right?

Just now, the chief of staff announced the contents of the major rectification, and all kinds of matters will be rectified in a centralized manner, and when people turn their heads, there will be people who want to seek welfare, and this is not to rush to clean up.

He wasn't that stupid, in front of so many officers, to discuss with this typical villain.

When he walked out of a hundred and ten meters away, he found that Lao Xie was still following behind, Chen Ming glanced at him and said, "You are looking for me to help, what can you do?"

"Except for the division of the task area by the security picket, the others are mentioned casually."

Forehead.

Hearing Chen Ming say this, Xie Canxiong was speechless for a while.

For other things, he can't be involved in the firepower, and the management agency is not in the same place.

The fire department is directly under the division headquarters, and the air defense battalion is under the jurisdiction of the 169th Brigade, which can be used in peacetime.

"Lao Chen, this is your mistake, brother, I am not a big deal, you also know that the units named at this meeting are all key rectification units."

"If the air defense battalion is audited again at this juncture, it will be my incompetence as a battalion commander."

"Accommodating, as a good brother, you can't watch me just graduate from the academy and lay the foundation for the future, right?"

Xie Canxiong said it seriously, and Chen Ming also knew that what he said was the truth.

The larger the combat unit, the more difficult it is to be promoted, and at present, the 704th Division has just started, if it cannot make a good impression on it.

If there's something good, who can think of you?

He is not an officer of the 169th Brigade before, he was transferred from outside, and the troops can't escape the sophistication.

The competition will only become more and more difficult, and it will not be so much in normal times, and the key is that during the period of the major reorganization of the strategic assault division, if the new units want to smooth out, they will inevitably make a lot of moves.

Not to mention it from afar, the Tiger Wolf Battalion didn't move in the past? In order to reorganize the troops, in order to establish the prestige of the military commanders, in addition to the training in peacetime.

At that time, the five battalions were not a little tossed, and thousands of people had done everything to surround the pickets, and everything they did was just to make the whole army cohesive.

As the battalion commander who was parachuted in, Xie Canxiong's situation was even more difficult, and the soldier took obedience to orders as his duty.

But soldiers are also small individuals.

It can be said that a class of ten people is a small society, let alone a battalion, according to the establishment of an air defense battalion, even if there are only more than 200 people.

If you want to put the whole battalion in order, if you want to let him, the battalion commander, sit firmly, and become a combat force and a good atmosphere, how can it be so easy.

The current 704 Division is dozens of original tiger and wolf battalions, and the difficulty can be imagined.

The establishment and birth of an ace army requires a lot of energy from the people above to cultivate, and it is not so easy.

If it is simple, there are ace troops everywhere, and there is no distinction between some commanders with strong ability and some commanders with weak ability.

Chen Ming had a similar experience, knowing Lao Xie's difficulties, he pondered for a moment and said, "Don't say what you want to say."

"But I know what you mean, and the division also knows, just make some moves once in a while, don't make it too big, you can't end it."

"The above requires that the entire Niutoushan garrison base be renovated before the year, so come on."

"Hey, okay, thank you Lao Chen."

Xie Canxiong heard Chen Ming's words and ran away.

Again, the officers who can be transferred to the 704th Division are capable people.

The theater is not unaware of the difficulty on their side, so when choosing and arranging personnel, it is based on merit.

Don't talk about them, Zhu Rihe was established back then, and he also trained for a long time.

The Blue Army is also maturing step by step, not shouting slogans and formulating strategic guidelines.

The troops can "swish" and complete the transformation, which is impossible.

Comparatively, the Niutoushan garrison base is still too tender to support the heavy task of whetstone, and it needs to be improved little by little.

In the next few days, the Niutoushan garrison base began earth-shaking changes.

Changes that are truly visible to the naked eye.

Everything is in line with the general reorganization plan of the division headquarters, and the guidelines given above are very simple.

The major rectification is three steps to break the ice.

The first step is to break the quiet harmony, which is almost the same as Chen Ming's original suggestion to give the Tiger Wolf Camp a three-day vacation, and do nothing else, just know each other and be familiar with their comrades.

And the general rectification policy of the division headquarters is most likely also based on Chen Ming's suggestion.

The second step is to change the concern of the hard state, and these firepower departments have made great efforts to organize staff officers and officers to go deep into the companies and talk to the soldiers.

The strategic assault divisions are all improvised units, and this exercise is enough to see the problem, let alone give full play to its combat effectiveness.

It doesn't even have the tenths that it should have shown, and it's a mess.

How can this phenomenon change? It is to break the barrier between officers and soldiers, between squad leaders and soldiers.

As an officer who has returned from the Joint Operations Academy, Chen Ming once went to the grassroots level, knows what the state of the Second Frontier Defense Company is, and also knows how the logistics squad gets along.

He found that "quiet harmony and hard concern" existed not only between soldiers and soldiers, but also between officers and soldiers, and between officials and officials, all of which were reflected to varying degrees.

For example, some young fighters are very delicate, and more often than not, they see through it and pay more attention to managing their work and life.

There are also some veterans who think more directly, that is, they feel that all work should be done according to the decisions of their superiors, and they will appear to be a conspicuous bag when they put forward their opinions, and they love to be in the limelight, so they don't mention any mistakes.

During the grassroots exchanges between the fire department, I heard the soldiers say something similar more than once, that is, sometimes they do not agree with what the new squad leader says, and the squad leader does not agree with his own methods.

Chen Ming once went to the grassroots level at the Joint Operations Academy, and at that time he did not understand why the academy arranged it that way.

But in this major rectification, it was completely used.

The firepower department has given full play to the coordination department, plus he has experience in leading the tiger and wolf battalion, and he bears the name of the unit directly under the division headquarters.

The work was carried out very smoothly.

The quiet harmony, which looks good, actually buries hidden dangers for each company.

There is a lack of effective communication between comrades-in-arms, there is nothing to say, there is nothing to say, there is no spark between the hearts, and there is no feeling, and the comrade-in-arms will naturally fade and be indifferent.

Only by allowing the fighters to communicate effectively can cohesion be generated and the entire army have combat effectiveness.

But the firepower department is not a combat company after all, and the progress of their work is blocked, which is an inevitable situation, and there is no way to carry out the three steps of icebreaking, and many problems exist in the 704th Division.

For this problem of distrust, Chen Ming is also very decisive and cultivates trust.

The fire department directly announced a very strange rule, that is, all units stationed in the 704th Division must strictly enforce the standard of meal order.

The order of cooking is first conscription, then non-commissioned officer, and then officer.

After the announcement came out, Chen Ming directly arranged for the guards to go to various units to audit during the meal, and strictly follow this order.

No one can violate the rules, no matter whether you are a company commander or a regiment commander, there is no cadre canteen at the Niutoushan garrison base, and if you want not to be audited, you must follow the regulations of the fire department.

Of course, the officers didn't complain, because they knew why.

The officers don't speak, and some veterans don't appreciate it, saying that it's fake concern, useless, and so on.

Chen Ming just didn't hear it, during the period of the great rectification, it was impossible to satisfy everyone, he was just releasing a signal, a firepower to do what he said, and all the regulations were implemented to the letter.

In addition to these, the fire department also arranges "drifting mailboxes" in each company, and some soldiers in each unit have a gap with the squad leader, or have something they don't want to say, so they can write their thoughts, emotions, and opinions into anonymous letters and put them into the mailbox.

The soldiers of the whole company can circulate.

The letter writer can release the inner pressure through text catharsis, and the recipient can share his feelings with his comrades through replying to the letter.

The third step in the three steps of breaking the ice is to refuse cold fairness and strive to let every officer and soldier find value in the company.

There is a phenomenon that is very common.

That is, they were transferred from the original unit to the current Niutoushan garrison base, which was originally a new unit, and people were not familiar with it, and many outstanding veterans would choose to retire after these two years.

Because many people didn't have a choice when they were transferred, but they could choose not to stay.

That's a big problem.

Chen Ming formulated a new plan for several days in a row, and resolutely did not allow the good backbone seedlings who were transferred over to choose to retire from the army after the expiration of their service because of the transfer.

But these words are not something that can be solved by words.

Chen Ming stayed at the grassroots level as an officer, and Vice President Lin said that the National Defense University is not training to train an excellent soldier.

At that time, the above actually knew the problems that the 704th Division was going to face.

Most of the units in the entire division are pieced together, can there be no problems?

At that time, Chen Ming didn't understand this sentence, but now when facing the current loss of backbone and the low motivation of veterans, he roughly understands a little.

In view of his experience of further study and study, Chen Ming knows very well that the backbone of the grassroots is actually not a one-sided pursuit of meritorious service.

It's something that most people just think about, but don't crave.

Because I know that I am too far away.

More people just want their work to be recognized, so that their efforts feel worthwhile in their own units.

In this regard, Chen Ming went to the logistics and made all kinds of pennants for each company.

And the number of pennants is not stingy, and there are many types, such as training pacesetters, cultural pacesetters, collective awards, the best squad leaders, the best comrades-in-arms, and the advanced units of the four irons.

These are all for the sake of rewarding the company, don't think that these strange pennants are useless.

The Niutoushan garrison base is all new units, and many troops have nothing.

The Tiger Wolf Battalion is mixed with a second-class meritorious battalion, which can be regarded as a historical honor.

When Chen Ming engaged in these pennants again, they were all stamped with the division medal, which was not a small honor.

Of course, this is also for the sake of diversification, so as to avoid some companies that have been in the past for a long time and have no gains, which will hit morale.

Leads to negative frustration spreading in the troops.

In order to make the Niutoushan garrison base more vibrant, Chen Ming also arranged for the personnel of the fire department to inform each company that it could hold a photo contest and a small-scale military games.

The Niutoushan garrison base is such a big place, and the scenery is good, as long as the participating soldiers do not affect their daily training and their performance.

You can take photos in a specific area, and you can also exhibit them to get a pennant.

Some fighters are not physically fit, but they have other specialties, and they can participate in activities and obtain honors that are difficult to obtain in ordinary times.

With the continuous efforts and persistence of the fire department, coupled with the full cooperation of all combat units.

In just half a year, the entire Niutoushan garrison base has changed greatly.

Everywhere was full of energetic roars, and early in the morning, the soldiers of each company, under the leadership of the company commander, ran around the main road.

The firepower department also used action to tell all the soldiers that here, it is not military prominence that can cover up all the ugliness.

As long as you have the ability and as long as everyone is united, you can find your own value here.

Only with cohesion can there be motivation, and only with motivation can there be combat effectiveness.

Winter goes to spring, spring goes to summer solstice.

Half a year passed quickly.

The major reorganization of the Niutoushan garrison base is also almost coming to an end, and now, if you want to say what the commander of the 704th Division is called, many soldiers may not be able to call it.

But if you want to say who Chen Ming is, there are many words, what is the director of the fire department, the head of the garrison picket, the logistics boss, and so on.

Because in the past six months, except for military training, Chen Ming has not intervened, but when it comes to other aspects of the arrangement, where is there no firepower?

Where there is firepower, there is Chen Ming presiding.

Everything that the Joint Operations Academy has learned has been put to full use at this time.

And Chen Ming himself often went to the grassroots company to talk to those officers, but there was no way, the head above gave him the task of supervising the over-rectification.

The Joint Operations Academy, on the other hand, has conducted special training in response to this situation in strategic assault divisions.

In the past half a year, Chen Ming's most frequent sentence on his lips is that it is said that officers and soldiers in the new era are not easy to get along with, but in fact, this is not the case.

It is that the leaders are unwilling to change the inherent ideas and methods.

At the beginning, Vice President Lin Qingyuan told Chen Ming that the military camp is a place that develops very slowly, and even what it was 30 years ago will still be 30 years later.

In addition to the changes in the surrounding buildings and the updating of equipment, many concepts have been abandoned by the new era.

At first, Chen Ming only felt emotion when he heard it, but he didn't know how to operate it.

Now he is applying it to practice.

He also taught a lot of company commanders and a lot of officers at the grassroots level, telling them that sometimes the same words are easier to accept in a different way.

We're all close comrades-in-arms, and who wouldn't want you to be better?

Chen Ming also often told the company commander at the grassroots level that he would pass on all his learning experience in the academy without reservation.

And not just some military science and modern command science.

He also told them that the grassroots is a big stage, where everyone can grow and become talents.

As a troop leader, we must not only give a platform, but also give opportunities.

We must not take it for granted that the soldiers should be shaped into the same appearance, but we must let every officer and soldier find value in the company and do their best to contribute to the building of the company.

Chen Ming led the supervision and practice of the fire department, which was undoubtedly very successful.

The entire Niutoushan garrison base has changed greatly in just half a year.

The battalions and companies were trained very actively, and the entire Blue Army unit took on a new look.

Of course, this can't be said to be his own credit, he just led the firepower and pushed the process faster.

"Hello Chen!!"

"Hello Chen!!"

Early in the morning, as soon as Chen Ming came out of the firepower, there were many soldiers of the company who passed by and ran morning exercises, and they warmly raised their hands to greet them.

"One-two-one, one-two-three-four."

"One, two, three, four."

The roar represents the vitality of the entire Niutoushan garrison base.

Chen Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although in the past six months, he has always behaved very calmly in the face of the problems that have arisen in various companies and battalions.

Use what he learned from Lin Qingyuan, vice president of the academy, to improve the grassroots troops little by little and carry out the three-ice breaking operation.

But the pressure in my heart is not small.

The Niutoushan garrison base was pinned on high hopes by the war zone, and although it seems from above, it is also necessary to give them time.

But Chen Ming was also worried that such an important task would be handed over to the fire department to supervise, and the burden on him could be imagined.

But fortunately, I finally got through it.

Today's 704th Division, I dare not say how strong its combat effectiveness is, after all, it is obtained through coordination and needs to be accumulated little by little.

But today's morale is absolutely okay, and only by making the fighters like it, have a sense of belonging, and no backbone loss, can the Blue Army really grow.

If you have a sense of belonging, you will have a sense of honor.

If you have a sense of honor, there will be no more times when you will fight a war, command the charge from above, eliminate and resurrect from below, and turn an exercise into an act.

At that time, they didn't care so much, anyway, they were fighting, and even many officers didn't restrain them when they saw it, maybe they couldn't restrain it, or they were deliberately indulgent.

Whatever the reason, it's not a real Blue Army, let alone trump cards, and the miscellaneous cards are barely there.

When Chen Ming was standing at the door of the firepower and sighed, Wang Shuaibing and the bald man came back.

The two drove the car and stopped in front of them, and during the reorganization of the two people, the work can be said to be quite pleasant.

The main thing is to go to each company to check the "drifting mailbox" and see what the soldiers of each company are writing, anyway, they are all anonymous, and there is no limit, anyone can open it.

Chen Ming borrowed the two of them to understand the real thoughts of the grassroots, and he didn't have to go in the past month, who would have thought that these two guys were really addicted.

Taking advantage of the morning exercise, the two of them touched it and went to the mailbox to check.

Seeing the two coming back, Chen Ming smiled and said, "How is it?" What's the catch? ”

"Recently, the companies have been on the right track, and the mailboxes are all rippling, so there is no need to go every day."

Hearing Chen Ming's inquiry, Wang Shuaibing excitedly took out a stack of letters from his pocket and handed them over.

said excitedly: "Brother Chen, there is a proposal that is not a proposal, I think it is very reliable, you can take a look."

"Really?"

Chen Ming glanced at it curiously, his face was a little strange.
