Chapter 268 Why Are Grassroots Officers Persisting
0270 Why do grassroots officers persist
But there is always a big gap between the ideal and the reality. The plan can never be as fast as the change.

In the army, especially the grass-roots units, young officers are always tense.

Officer, it sounds glamorous, and the five-pointed stars on the shoulders are shining with gold, but their weight is extraordinarily heavy.

It is not an easy task to go to the major camp at the age of 32.

During the war years, it was not uncommon for regimental and division commanders in their twenties to join the party and be promoted to the front line.

But in this age of preparing for war, the fine print for considering an officer is much more complicated.

"Yes, Chief, we are all reluctant to part with this military uniform. Some positions must be held by someone." Instructor Luo Ning responded.

Wang Liangliang nodded, took out cigarettes from his pocket, and handed them to Duan Haifeng and Luo Ning respectively.

This smoke is not something ordinary people can smoke.

Not because of how expensive it is, but because it was smoked by the martyrs of Malipo.

Only the best soldiers are eligible for points.

Duan Haifeng and Luo Ning were not polite, and took a deep sip on the cigarette, feeling comfortable.

Whenever a day of training is completed, the tired body lies on the top of the mountain.

Looking at the sky, looking at the clouds, looking at the birds.

Lighting another cigarette is the most comfortable time for grassroots officers and soldiers.

Wang Liang said: "Most people in your generation are only children. There are elderly people who need to be taken care of above, and children below, and wives are caught in the middle. The heavy work pressure, complicated interpersonal relationships, and traditional customs that suppress human nature have made The suffocating competitive environment is a great challenge and test for the body and spirit."

Wang Liang's words reached the hearts of Duan Haifeng and Luo Ning. These low-level soldiers were most troubled by these problems.

He is no longer a young man in his early twenties. He is already in his thirties at the age of 30.

The longing for home grows stronger as we grow older.

Especially after the child is born, the idea of ​​going home is even more difficult to suppress.

This is a time of peace, there is no war to fight, why should I waste my time here?

I can't give her a hug when the kid keeps yelling 'dad' to the camera.

I want to be with my child, watching her from one year old to seven years old, until she goes to school.

The greatest happiness for children is to be accompanied by their parents in the process of growing up.

This wish is not extravagant, but is it so difficult to realize for grassroots officers and soldiers in remote areas?
"The child is still young, the parents are old, and the gap between Zhengying and Zhengying is daunting. The wife has to take care of everything at home and support the family. In this society, life is not easy and difficult." Wang Liang With emotion.

Over the years, he has met too many low-level military officers, and he can no longer understand their living conditions.

Suffering, unimaginable suffering.

The pressure, the pressure of the sky.

Once you make a mistake, there is no hope of promotion.

Monthly assessment, people in their 30s, do training during the day to improve physical fitness, and work overtime at night.

In the circle of friends, former classmates have become white-collar and gold-collar workers, driving cars that cost 30 to [-] yuan or more, and have a wonderful life every day.

Can you not be moved?
Can you not think about quitting?

This is no longer the era when news is blocked. What happens in the corner of the earth is only a few seconds apart, and the other side of the ocean will know.

There are more and more temptations, how to persevere?
Serving as a soldier requires dedication, but when the army leaves, anyone can transfer.

Sun Weimin was broadcasting live from the side, and netizens heard the whole conversation, and at the same time, many former grassroots officers were exposed.

Repeated and mechanical work day after day, without being promoted for five or six consecutive years, at the grassroots level with difficult conditions, living a life that can be seen at a glance.

Looking at these two officers, in front of 10,000+ netizens, Wang Liang asked this non-problem question: "Why are you still insisting?"

Duan Haifeng and Luo Ning glanced at each other.

As a partner, the instructor Luo Ning knew Duan Haifeng's story, so he said: "Company Commander, let's talk about it."

Duan Haifeng nodded and asked Wang Liang directly, "Sir, do you still remember the great earthquake that happened in Lijiang in 1996?"

Wang Liang was taken aback, not understanding why Duan Haifeng mentioned this suddenly.

But Ren still nodded: "I remember, 22 years ago, although I did not participate in the rescue operation of that earthquake, I have been paying attention to that big earthquake."

Wang Liang still remembers the 1996 Lijiang earthquake, which occurred in the Lijiang area of ​​Yunnan Province, with a magnitude of 7.0 and an epicenter of 10 degrees.

After the main shock, there were more than 2000 aftershocks, the largest of which reached magnitude 6.

The number of people affected by the disaster was as high as 100 million, and there were as many as 30 people who were severely affected.

When the earthquake happened, the Tiger Leaping Gorge as far away as Shangri-La felt a strong tremor.

Duan Haifeng recalled: "My family is in Lijiang. I was only nine years old that year. When the earthquake happened, I was in school. I felt the world was turned upside down, and the landslides and ground cracked. Within a few minutes, the teaching building collapsed. It became a ruin. When I ran out of the classroom, I found that all the nearby houses had collapsed."

Wang Liangliang nodded. At that time, the urban area of ​​Lijiang City and 20.00% of the nearby houses had completely collapsed.

A magnitude 7 earthquake is approximately equal to 32 magnitude 6 earthquakes.

The earthquake in 96 had a crack degree of over six degrees and destroyed an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers.

Most of the houses in the Lijiang area are built with civil structures, as well as brick and wood buildings, which could not withstand the devastation of the earthquake at all, and the losses were naturally quite heavy.

"After running out of the classroom, standing on the rubble, standing on the pile of ruins, going home is my only thought." Duan Haifeng began to tell his own story that year.

Along the way to school, nine-year-old, third-grade kid.

The road is no longer the road we came to before. The road is full of rocks and cracks that have rolled down from the mountains on both sides.

Duan Haifeng walked quickly, just wanting to go home quickly and see his parents.

That was the first time he felt that the way home was so far away, as if there was no end in sight.

Aftershocks continued to hit, and rocks rolled down from the mountain. Where is the road?

Going forward, there is no road, and it is covered by large boulders that have fallen off.

Tears dimmed, facing such a catastrophe that was rarely seen in decades, the nine-year-old cried, fear and despair spreading in his heart.

At this moment, camouflage green appeared, it was a tall body, extremely strong, he found Duan Haifeng who was curled up on the ground and crying, and asked, "Son, where are you going?"
