Chapter 23
Shi Lei calculated the time and walked out after about 5 minutes.

If he couldn't reach an agreement within five minutes, five hours would be in vain - he knew the temperament of several brothers in the class very well.

He was still a little uneasy. Although he was leaning towards Lin Yu, he didn't want to see the two of them quarreling.After two years of getting along, only those in the game can appreciate the rare and precious comradeship and brotherhood.Any behavior or words that destroy this feeling will be rejected by everyone.

To his relief and surprise at the same time, when he walked out of the toilet, he saw Lin Yu and Geng Shuai smiling cheerfully, obviously just finished the last topic.

"Leizi is done, let's go, it's time to gather." Geng Shuai said, motioning Lin Yu to give him the cigarette butt, but Lin Yu shook his head, took the cigarette butt in his hand, went into the toilet and threw it into the latrine.

The three of them walked out together, and Li Mu saw a peaceful scene.

"There is a problem." Zhao Yiyun said three words decisively.

Li Mu glanced at him, stood up, and took out the whistle from his pocket. The sharp whistle sounded, and everyone in the fifth company suddenly stood up and looked over.

"Fifth company! Keep training!"

As the company's duty officer, Li Mu issued the order to continue training.

Looking back at his fifth class, except for Zhao Yiyun, the other three all had weird expressions.No matter how hard Li Mu tried, he still couldn't figure out why Lin Yu and Geng Shuai suddenly felt so good that they wanted to wear a pair of underwear?What did these two guys talk about in private?
Looking at Shi Lei, Li Mu secretly thought that he would have to find time to ask Shi Lei what was going on at night.

However, when this group of veterans were looking forward to being discharged from the army and were meticulously lining up, Xu Yan also went to the camp command team and met with Deputy Xiong.

Deputy Leader Xiong is an old leader. After the old political commissar left, he has the oldest qualifications. The leading political commissars are all "new comrades" who have been transferred less than two years ago.Deputy Xiong, who is in charge of training, has a high prestige among grassroots cadres.There are rumors that Deputy Xiong will change his job to a local company within the year.

"report!"

Xu Yan stood at the door
"Here we come, come in." Deputy Xiong is a man whose last name matches his name. He has a strong back and a strong voice, and a particularly loud voice. Many grassroots cadres' first impression of Deputy Xiong is that he often does not use a microphone when speaking in meetings.But he is not from the north.

"Mr. Xiong." Xu Yan walked in and stood in front of the desk.

This office is very simple, so simple that it is unbelievable.

This is not an individual case, but the entire command group building is of this style.Many years ago, this was where the brigade headquarters was located, but since the brigade headquarters moved to a town fifty kilometers away, it has basically been abandoned.As this area was re-planned as a big camp, this dilapidated two-story building became the office of the command group.

This command group is a temporary organization whose function is to upload and issue orders and manage the entire camp. It is not part of the establishment.

The large camp area concentrates all the infantry battalions of the 3rd Brigade and is the largest camp area among the several camps of the 3rd Brigade.During the working week, there is always a brigade commander on duty in the command team, such as the deputy leader, deputy political commissar, or the three leaders and one director of the four major departments.

This week, Deputy Xiong was the commander on duty of the command group. To be precise, he would be the commander on duty in the camp until all the veterans had finished eating their dumplings and retired from active duty and left the camp.This is a special arrangement made by the brigade to ensure the safety of veterans during their discharge.

"sit!"

Deputy Xiong pointed his hand, took out a cigarette, lit one and started smoking.

Xu Yan sat down with his back straight.If you are facing other officers, you can relax a little, but if you are facing Deputy Xiong, you'd better do it in a orderly manner.

"How is it? The exercise is over. How is the mood of the company? How was the year-end summary?" Deputy Xiong asked with a smile.

"The troops are in a good mood. They are currently conducting queue and physical training in accordance with the instructions of the headquarters. At the same time, they are implementing the spirit of the Political Department's instruction document on strengthening the ideological education of veterans." Xu Yan replied seriously, "Sir, our company is working hard to conduct the year-end summary. , The company’s year-end summary is currently underway.”

"En." Deputy Xiong nodded. At this time, all the grassroots companies were doing similar tasks, so asking this question was just a habitual way to open up the topic.

Lieutenant Xiong's character is to be straightforward. Sure enough, he said, "The Army Group put the test of new infantry in our brigade, and the brigade decided to put it in the second battalion."

Pointing at Xu Yan, Deputy Xiong smiled and said, "There will be a formal order soon. Don't think about changing jobs, the brigade will not approve it. Just continue to contribute honestly."

Xu Yan said awkwardly, "Sir, my heart is still in the army."

"The Second Battalion is the foundation of the old 275th Regiment. I remember you were also from the 275th Regiment." Deputy Xiong said.

"Yes sir, before entering the military academy, I was a soldier of the 275nd Battalion and 2th Company of the 5th Regiment." Xu Yan replied, thinking of the big disarmament and reorganization more than ten years ago.

"He's a veteran." Deputy Xiong said with emotion, because he was the last leader of the 275th Regiment. As soon as he took office, the unit was about to be reorganized, and he became the leader of the 275th Regiment with the shortest term!

Many people think that Deputy Xiong puts more emphasis on the Second Battalion because Deputy Xiong is from the old 275 regiment. In fact, this is indeed the case.

No one has a close relative, they are everywhere.

Xu Yan seemed to understand Xiong Fubi's meaning. The meaning of "veteran" in his mouth was probably not that simple.

Sure enough, despite reaching such a high position as deputy division cadre, Deputy Xiong's temper has not changed at all.He knocked the ashes from his cigarette and asked, "What do you think about managing the Second Battalion?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan had mixed emotions and emotions.

He also heard some rumors. He didn't know when there was a rumor from the brigade headquarters that he would be promoted to battalion commander.It was probably the end of the exercise.In fact, Xu Yan was mentally prepared to change jobs, and he had been contacting local receiving units.If you can't be loyal to the country, just try to find a good unit to take responsibility for your family.

The news came out, so Xu Yan was also dubious. It wasn't until Deputy Xiong said it clearly that he dared to believe that such a thing existed.

The reason is very simple. The army has relatively strict requirements for rejuvenating cadres. It is rare for a 32-year-old full-term cadre like him to be promoted.You know, Xu Yan’s immediate superior, the Second Battalion Commander, was only 26 years old!
"Sir, I don't have any ideas." Xu Yan was in a hurry. He was notified that Deputy Xiong wanted to see him, and they were talking about the transfer of non-commissioned officers, but he didn't expect that there was also the matter of adjusting his position.

"No idea? Xu Yan, I see you have a lot of ideas. Who knows the Second Battalion best except you. Don't let me down at the critical moment." Deputy Xiong said, "Yuan Hao will go to the Military Academy for further training soon. , the brigade plans to let you manage the second battalion."

"Old leader." Xu Yan said with a wry smile, "I'm really not mentally prepared. I was ready to pack up and get out, but suddenly this happened..."

"stand up!"

Deputy Xiong suddenly burst into laughter!
