Chapter 246: The Soldier's Choice

"What's wrong? Instructor? ”

On the edge of the training ground, under the gaze of a middle-aged man with glasses, the soldier rushed over, only to see the brim of the hat on his head, there was a curling white mist steaming, obviously the heat of exercise.

"What are you running for the New Year? Isn't it good to rest in the barracks? ”

"Look at this hot! It's all white gas overhead! ”

It was clear that the instructor with the glasses was a little older, and spoke with a sense of concern to the soldier, and the soldier smiled and said:

"I can't be idle, I don't walk around every day, I feel like my bones are rusty."

"It's best to go out for a run!"

Regarding this soldier's statement, the instructor looked at him and couldn't help sighing, and finally patted him directly on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"Alas! What a shame you're having! It's really difficult for Feng Tang Yi and Li Guang to be sealed, and he hasn't caught up with any good things! ”

"At the beginning, you made a third-class merit, and you could do it when you saw it, but because of the south, one third-class merit didn't work, and you got two third-class merits, and you were stuck."

"Later, I thought about letting you go to a military school, and I came out just to get promoted, but it turned out that you were a graduate of elementary school, and at that time, you asked for a junior high school graduation to be promoted, and you were stuck again."

"Originally, we didn't think about it, I think you will definitely not be able to mention this for a while, I want you to go to the south to observe, study and study, stay in the army for a few more years, maybe the policy will change in a few years, even if you don't mention it, maybe you can transfer back to the local area, and you don't need to be demobilized to go back to farming."

"As a result, seeing that you are about to come back, the Red Star Consortium suddenly wants security personnel, it stands to reason that you are the top of our armored reconnaissance company, your ability is one of the best, and you also went to the south to observe and study, how should I give you a place, but it turned out to be more than a week away, and the matter of changing jobs is yellow again."

"This is the Red Star Consortium! Now with the consortium, which one is not the master of farting and breaking oil? ”

"After I came back, I thought that the Red Star Consortium would definitely need people in the future, but this time people don't want security, they want armored soldiers, repair soldiers, car soldiers, and young men, but they don't want a combat backbone of a little age like you."

"And I wanted you to stay a few more years, but now it's only a few months left."

"Tell me! You name it! What's going on! Oops, I'm worried about you! ”

When I said this, I saw that the instructor with glasses was also full of helplessness and regret, and more regret and indescribable emotions.

At this moment, in the face of the instructor's emotion, the soldier looked much more open-minded, smiled and said:

"I am grateful to you, the company, and the leaders for taking care of me over the years."

"It's just that this is a good thing! I can only say that my fate is not good, I can't help it. ”

"My father is right, in this life, sometimes you can't accept your fate, so I have figured it out now, if you don't mention it, you won't mention it, if you don't change jobs, you won't change, and it's nothing to go back to farming, and now that the country is open, there will be more opportunities in the future!"

"Maybe in a few years after demobilization, I will become a 10,000 yuan household! You're right? Hahaha! ”

In the face of this soldier's emotion, the instructor could only smile helplessly, the matter has come to this point, what else can he do if he is not calm and open-minded? If you can't do it, then you can't change jobs, and you can't eat commercial grain when you return to the place, so you can only retire normally, and then demobilize and return to your hometown.

It's just that this soldier is a top man, and everyone feels sorry for him, but time is also fate, and no one can do anything.

"Okay, it's good to have this awareness, a red heart and two hands are ready."

"There are still a few months to go, maybe there will be some new moves on the consortium side, if you can retreat to the consortium, then you will be happy, and you are not young, you have to find a partner to marry quickly, I heard that there are many girls in the consortium, they are all formal workers, maybe the family is still intellectuals, you are tall and have a good image, loyalty, and a lively personality, I think the opportunity is not small, when the time comes, start a family, and the family will work in the consortium, how good?"

"To tell you the truth, I want to retreat to the Consortium, but unfortunately people don't want me!"

Finally, the instructor said this in a visibly comforting tone, and the warrior smiled and did not respond, but asked:

"Instructor, you came to the training ground to look for me, shouldn't you just be looking for me?"

Suddenly, the instructor remembered the purpose of his coming to the training ground to find someone, and couldn't help but pat his head and say:

"Oops! I almost forgot! Let's go! ”

"The group is looking for you to talk, it's at the regiment headquarters, let's go quickly!"

Hearing the instructor say this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly:

"Talk to me? I'm a small soldier, do I need to talk in the regiment? ”

"Instructor? What are you talking about? You revealed the news to me, so that I could be mentally prepared in advance? ”

While speaking, the two people walked briskly, and when the instructor heard the soldier say this, he hesitated for a moment, then looked left and right, and said in a low voice:

"Honestly, it's weird!"

"Originally, I thought it was related to the consortium, I thought it was the consortium coming to ask for someone again, and I was so happy that I couldn't do it, thinking that your job change was finally settled."

"But then I asked twice, and it didn't seem to be the case."

"Because in the past, the important people of the consortium were all loud and loud, and there was no secret talk like this time, and in the past, the important people would directly ask the company to recommend them, but not this time, this time the list is determined above, there are more than a dozen people in our armored reconnaissance company, and they are all veterans, you are one of them."

"Actually, I suspect that maybe you won't be able to wait, and I don't know."

"Let's go! There must be a road before the chariot reaches the mountain, so whatever! ”

Finally, the instructor patted the soldier on the shoulder, and swallowed all the words that he didn't say in the second half, and the soldier couldn't help but sigh and looked back at the training ground, full of reluctance.

In fact, both of them guessed something, after all, the grapevine is not a day or two.

A moment later, the two of them came to the regimental headquarters.

"Let's go inside!"

Led by the staff, the soldier came to the door of an office, while the instructor stayed downstairs, and when the staff said this, the soldier nodded and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

With a voice, the staff pushed the door open, and then the soldier walked in, the door behind him was closed, the room was silent, and I saw that behind the desk, I saw the middle-aged gray-haired regiment commander sitting in the back, looking down at what documents, and when I looked closely, it seemed to be his own file, with his own photo on it.

"Hello Commander!"

The soldiers walked in, saluted and greeted in one go.

"The third war is coming? Sit! Have a seat! You're welcome! ”

"To be honest, this name is weird and interesting, Xu Sanzhan?"

"Actually, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, how did you come up with this name? World War III? Or Xu Sanzhan? Will you be able to license the three wars? Ha? ”

Hearing the ridicule of the regiment commander, Xu Sanzhan smiled and explained in a loud voice:

"I am the third child in my family, my eldest brother is called Xu Yikang, my second brother is called Xu Ersu, my name is Xu Sanzhan, my sister is called Xu Simei, and the connection is the anti-Soviet war, the regiment leader, that's what it means!"

As soon as these words came out, the head of the regiment sitting there was obviously stunned for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up and praised him sincerely:

"That's a good name! There is momentum! ”

"But what if you have a fifth child in your family?"

Regarding this question, Xu Sanzhan said without thinking:

"My dad said, if there is a fifth."

"Then it's called Xu Qiangguo, if there is a sixth child, then it's called Xu Open! But as of the last time I went home, there were no 5th and 6th children! ”

Faced with this answer, the head of the regiment couldn't hold back at all, and said with a smile:

"Your father's consciousness is really high!"

"Good, good! You sit! Sit and sit, you're welcome! ”

Then Xu Sanzhan sat down on the sofa next to him, owed half of his buttocks, and then sat there with his upper body straight and without squinting.

"There is something that suddenly called you over today."

"But I explained in advance, this matter is not mandatory, you can choose or not, there is nothing to say if you choose, if you don't choose, you will have to sign a confidentiality agreement later, as if we didn't have today's conversation, understand?"

Accompanied by the voice of the regiment commander, Xu Sanzhan suddenly felt his heart tremble slightly, it was obvious that what he was going to talk about today was not what he and the instructor had guessed at all!

So, what's going on?

Just when he was full of curiosity, the regimental commander who was sitting there continued:

"Actually, the regiment has always been worried about you about your promotion and transfer of jobs, and we will try our best to arrange for you, after all, you are the top of our reconnaissance unit, if you don't make arrangements for you, on the one hand, it will be a problem for our work, and on the other hand, we will not be able to convince the public, I think the majority of soldiers do not agree."

"But, there's really no way, there are rules there, you can't meet the hard requirements, no one can do it."

Speaking of this, the regiment commander couldn't help but sigh, sometimes I have to say that the thing of fate is very mysterious, just like this Xu Sanzhan, it stands to reason that there is absolutely no problem with him being promoted, but after so many years, he just can't mention it, and there are actually two key reasons.

One is that there are very many soldiers, and the other is that the flames of war have not been completely extinguished.

Fighting a war is a place where military merits are produced, but there are actually a number of military merits every year, and there are more in the south and less in the north, and if the troops cannot go to the south, the average military merits will be less, not to mention, because there are many military merits in wars, so military merits have been increasing over the years, and if they are more, they will be "devalued".

In the past, third-class merit was inevitable to be promoted, but now third-class merit is not good, at least second-class merit, or two third-class merit, and for example, academic requirements, there were almost no requirements in the past, and now except for the front-line troops, at least they must graduate from junior high school, because only after graduating from junior high school can they go to military academies for further study, and only after a year of advanced study can they be successfully promoted.

The hard and fast rules are here, and it is no longer a problem to say that the sky is broken.

Even if the leader wants to take care of it, he can't find a reason, and he can't arrange any of them!

"I understand."

In this regard, Xu Sanzhan nodded and said.

"If you understand!"

Then, the head of the regiment sitting on it said with a smile, then coughed lightly, and said seriously with a restrained smile:

"But now there's another chance."

Hearing the regiment commander say this, Xu Sanzhan's ears suddenly stood up, to be honest, although he was very open-minded with the instructor just now, but if there is a chance, then he will definitely not give up, after all, it is still decent to eat commercial food, and it is much easier to marry a daughter-in-law, and he is in his twenties, so this problem cannot be ignored.

"You should be no stranger to the Red Star Consortium."

"They are engaged in both civilian and military industries, and there are a lot of businesses abroad, so there are many staff members who go out, and there are also many jobs stationed abroad, so there is a problem, that is, the security of staff abroad, after all, foreign countries are more chaotic, and there are still wars in some places, which is very dangerous."

"So they want to set up a security company, this security company is composed of two parts, one is instructors, sent from our country, and the other is local soldiers recruited from abroad, it is said that the current partner is Tanzania, you should have heard of it, right? African countries have a good relationship with us. ”

"So now you have two choices in front of you."

"One is to choose to retire, then the relationship falls to the consortium, and finally they are sent out and become instructors."

"One is not to make a choice, continue to stay with us, everything will be business as usual in the future, just go out later, you sign a confidentiality agreement, and pretend that today's conversation did not happen."

Accompanied by the voice of the regiment commander, Xu Sanzhan suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, he finally knew why this time it was a secret conversation, because it involved foreign countries!

"But!"

Just when the thoughts were churning in his mind, the voice of the regiment commander sounded again, and it was very sonorous, staring at Xu Sanzhan with blazing eyes and said:

"As your head of the group, I must make it clear to you the pros and cons of this choice."

"First of all, I'll talk about the disadvantages first!"

"According to the documents sent to us above, this job is not safe! And it's very unsafe! The war in Tanzania has just ended, and there are still gunshots in the local area, not to mention that as an instructor in the future, he will not stay in Tanzania all the time, but will go to war-torn areas. ”

"Although you are instructors, in that kind of place, it doesn't matter if you are an instructor or a soldier, you will die if the shells come over!"

"Moreover, the battlefield is different from the battlefield, and there is a difference between death and death, do you understand?"

At that moment, Xu Sanzhan nodded, he was obviously talking about what the regiment commander was talking about, after all, here, his comrades-in-arms are compatriots, and outside, his comrades-in-arms may be foreigners, and on the battlefield, reliable comrades-in-arms are the key to survival, but are foreigners reliable? God knows!

"Okay, when I'm talking about the disadvantages, I'll talk about the pros."

"There is only one benefit, and that is to earn more, according to the secret documents sent to us above, if you determine this choice, from that moment on, you will enjoy a dollar allowance."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Sanzhan's original head that did not squint in an instant subconsciously looked at the head of the regiment, his face was full of astonishment and disbelief, after all, the value of the dollar, even if it is Xu Sanzhan, who is out of touch with society, is also very clear, it is a good thing, you can go to the friendship store to buy appliances, and you can also exchange a large amount of RMB on the black market!

In his stunned gaze, he saw the head of the regiment nod and said:

"You heard it right, it's a dollar allowance!"

"To be honest, with this number, I can't help but look a little upset, if it weren't for my age, I would like to take the initiative to sign up to participate!"

"If you don't go out of the task, you will be five hundred dollars a month, and if you go out of the task, you will be worth a thousand dollars a month!"

"According to the description in the document, you can spend half of this money abroad, and the remaining half must be sent back to China, whether you want to save it yourself, or give it to your parents, siblings, wife, and children."

"However, we will not give you US dollars directly, but will exchange RMB for you according to the ratio of one to ten!"

"In other words, taking the mission as an example, you can spend two hundred and fifty dollars outside, and the remaining two hundred and fifty dollars can be obtained at home, which is equivalent to two thousand five hundred yuan."

At that moment, Xu Sanzhan, whose eyes were shining, almost forgot that he was in the regiment commander's office, and subconsciously opened his mouth and said:

"If I go on a mission, I will be able to receive 5,000 yuan a month in China!"

"Five hundred dollars abroad?"

Hearing his obvious voice, the regiment commander's expression flickered slightly, and he sighed and said:

"That's right, but I have to warn you again."

"If you are injured, there will be additional Medicaid, if you are disabled, you will be transferred back to the country and take up a lighter job in the consortium, if you die"

Speaking of this, the regiment commander's voice became three points lower, and Xu Sanzhan's gaze was much calmer, and the regiment commander sighed and said:

"The death benefit of 50,000 US dollars can be converted into RMB according to the ratio of 1 to 15, and handed over to your parents, siblings, wife, or children.

"In addition, one of your immediate family members can get the opportunity to work in the consortium, such as your wife or your children."

After the regiment commander finished speaking this time, it was obvious that Xu Sanzhan's expression had completely calmed down, he seemed to be thinking about it, and even from his eyes, he could see the color of struggle.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, you can choose now."

"You can think about it overnight and give me an answer tomorrow, but when you leave, you need to sign a non-disclosure agreement and promise not to tell anyone about it."

In the end, the regiment commander said this, Xu Sanzhan hesitated for a few seconds, stood up and saluted, and said:

"Report to the head of the group, I apply to consider it for one night!"
