Chapter 545: More officers and fewer soldiers(1/2)
Facts have proved that it was correct to hand over the construction of barracks to the barracks unit of the Binjiang Reserve Regiment.
The regiment leader and political commissar did not expect that the Linghai Development Zone would support the reserve work so much. Not only did it return funds to the local area, it immediately decided to upgrade the company headquarters of the first company to the battalion headquarters of the Linghai Reserve Battalion!
Not all regiment officials are active-duty officers, but there is also a class of active-duty soldiers. The regiment party committee decided to arrange for cadres to take turns on duty at the gate and to guard the warehouse, so that all the soldiers who originally stood guard and guarded the warehouse would come to Linghai Development Zone to participate in the construction of the camp.
The infrastructure project with a total investment of 50,000 yuan is fully responsible for the barracks section chief and the first battalion commander Yang Jianbo.
Save money when you can during construction. For example, you don’t need to find a truck outside to transport building materials. You use two Jiefang trucks from the regiment to pull them. The physical work of leveling the site and loading and unloading are all done by soldiers from the guard squad.
In the past, each prefecture-level city built a reserve division. The superiors considered that the troop resources in the troop formation area were insufficient. Last year, the provincial military region reduced more than a dozen reserve infantry divisions into one reserve infantry division according to the requirements of the superiors. The division commander is also the deputy chief of staff of the provincial military region.
Political commissar and deputy director of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region.
In other words, the current Binjiang Reserve Regiment was formerly the Binjiang Reserve Division.
The unit level has changed from a full division to a full regiment, but the previous assets are still there.
The regiment leader, political commissar and chief of staff went to the warehouse to have a look and requested that all the things that could be used be used. Once the Linghai Reserve Battalion was built, all the usable belongings in the warehouse would be brought over.
After all, there are very few funds and there is no strong support from the local party committee and government. It is too difficult to build several fully staffed reserve battalions.
Now that we have the support of Linghai Development Zone, instead of being greedy for big things and seeking perfection like before, which resulted in nothing being accomplished, it is better to invest all our limited resources in Linghai Development Zone and build a "model company" first!
The leaders of the reserve regiment paid so much attention to it. Vice Mayor Shen asked about the progress every day. Vice Mayor Qin also called to ask how the army was doing. Even Sister Zhu was very concerned. Han Yu was really under great pressure.
Reserve officers are easy to handle. First organize a company. How many cadres are needed in total?
And as long as they are military officers, most of them will change jobs and return to their hometowns, and most of them will be placed in government agencies and institutions.
There are several in Sanhe Street, as well as in the Development Zone Public Security Bureau.
For example, Xie Xingbao, a firefighting officer who was transferred to the Development Zone Bureau last year, was previously a cadre of the fire brigade. Another example is Hu Genhua, who worked at the Linghai Port Supervision Office, and was originally a battalion commander of the army.
It is related to the construction of national defense reserve forces and is supported by laws and regulations. No ideological work is required. As long as the cadres who have been transferred from the military to work in the development zones can be directly recruited to join the reserve force.
As long as anyone who is recruited does not serve in the reserve service, it is illegal!
If the leader of any unit does not support it, it means that there is something wrong with the leader's thinking and he can confidently go to his superior.
The question now is where to find the reservists!
In the three towns before the development zone, an average of thirty or forty young people go to serve as soldiers every year.
The basic education in Kelinghai is so good. Out of ten young men who went to the army to serve as soldiers, at least four of them were able to pass the military academy, and two of them became volunteers in the army. What are they called non-commissioned officers now? Only four or five of them can come back.
.
Retired officers are assigned jobs, but retired soldiers are not, especially rural soldiers.
It was impossible for people to stay at home and farm. Some went out to do business, some went out to work, and very few stayed in Linghai.
Although according to the law, as long as there is a local reserve force and they are recruited, they must serve in the reserve force, but Vice Mayor Qin, Vice Mayor Shen and the leaders of the reserve regiment have made it very clear that either they will not be included in the reserve force, or they will be included in the reserve force. A "fist company" that can draw and punch loudly!
Most people are in other places. If you ask them to come back, they will come back?
Even if someone is willing to come back, who will reimburse the round trip expenses, and it will take time to come back.
Based on the information provided by the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Sanhe Subdistrict Human and Armed Forces Department, Han Yu used the phone to contact those who could, and went to the village to find those who did not.
After four days of running, only twenty-seven qualified veterans were found.
Considering that everyone works in a factory run by a private owner, they go to find their boss. Be empathetic and rational with their bosses, and let them know that serving in reserve service is required by law, and the company they work for must support it. Employees serving in the reserves must be paid as usual while participating in training or performing tasks.
In short, you can't let others train you, otherwise they will lose their jobs.
After a busy day, Han Gong returned to the city to see his daughter. Han Gong asked curiously: "San'er, how many soldiers have you recruited?"
"Dad, this is a military secret. You can't ask about it, and I can't tell you."
"What kind of army is the reserve force? It's a military secret. Besides, I was an officer before. You are just a reserve major. I was a lieutenant colonel before I transferred to the army!"
Han Gong smiled proudly and pointed to his wife who was busy in the kitchen: "Your mother's military rank is the same as yours. She was a major when she changed her job, but she is in the regular army."
Han Xiangning hugged Han Han and chuckled: "San'er, you fake officer still dare to act like a wolf in front of dad. You don't even think about what our dad and mom did before."
The father-in-law and the mother-in-law are both transferred military cadres. Although they were technical officers in the army, they are still officers.
Han Yu realized that he was not qualified to bluster in front of his father-in-law, and said with a wry smile: "There are many veterans in our development zone, but not many are at home. Moreover, everyone has their own affairs. Although everyone is willing to serve in the reserve service, it is impossible I can come back and participate in training as soon as I make a phone call.”
The son-in-law actually became an "officer".
The Korean workers were very happy and asked: "You are reserve forces, not regular troops. You are almost like militiamen. Is it necessary to be so formal?"
"The requirements were not so high in the past. It is said that when the Binjiang Reserve Regiment was still a reserve division, it was formed on paper just like the militia. Didn't there be typhoons and floods last summer? The economic losses were so great that people even died. The superiors suddenly paid attention to it."
Han Yu took a deep breath and added: "The Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government and the Provincial Military Region jointly issued a notice last month, requiring cities along the river to form a militia flood fighting and rescue assault group, and also required reserve groups in various cities to form a flood fighting and rescue group. Mobile Assault Battalion.”
"Mobile Assault Battalion?"
"It is possible to be transferred to brother cities for emergency rescue and disaster relief. The notification document clearly states that several reserve commando battalions in cities along the Yangtze River will be responsible for the rescue tasks of major hazardous construction and dangerous sections across the province. They will be responsible for large-scale rescue operations.
Property transfer and life-saving tasks. Under normal circumstances, responsible for normal flood fighting and rescue tasks in the area."
Looking at his father-in-law's thoughtful look, Han Yu added: "There are strict requirements on how to mobilize. When the city suffers major wind and flood disasters but the damage is not serious, the municipal flood control headquarters can report to the provincial flood control headquarters for guidance.
With the approval of the Provincial Military Region, the reserve division will be commanded to engage in flood fighting and rescue tasks in this city.
When suffering from global severe floods, several militia assault groups and several reserve flood-fighting mobile assault battalions in cities along the river will be uniformly dispatched and used by the provincial defense command and the provincial military region. Not to mention that the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government cannot mobilize them.
Even Binjiang City has no right to transfer people directly."
It turns out that this is a continuation of "making things right after the sheep is gone".
Han Gong realized that his son-in-law's reserve force was different from what he thought before, and he didn't know how to take it over. Han Yu said with a wry smile: "Some time ago, the military branch went to our Linghai to inspect the construction of the militia team, and even went to our development zone to conduct a thorough investigation.
It was discovered that we had problems with the formation of troops on paper, and they severely criticized us and asked us to make immediate rectifications. This was actually because we wanted to form a militia flood-fighting and rescue assault team."
"The Ministry of Armed Forces wants to form a militia emergency rescue and disaster relief assault force, and the reserve force also needs to be formed, but there are only so many people who meet the requirements, and they can be said to overlap with each other, so there are not enough people?"
"I am different from others. I am also the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces of the Development Zone. I not only have to help the Armed Forces Department organize militiamen, but now I also have to help organize reserves. I can't dig my own corner, but I also have to complete the reserve task.
There are only so many people to plan and plan for the troop formation task on the side, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it."
Times have changed. Now that family planning is implemented, there are fewer children and fewer young people than before. And those who can go out to make money have gone out to make money. It is not like in the past when a brigade could pull out a militia camp.
The son-in-law's job was not easy to do, and Han Gong could do nothing to help him. He could only smile and said: "If there are not enough people, you can count me in."
"Dad, what we are short of now are soldiers, not officers. Besides, you are overage. We only want those under forty years old."
"You think I'm too old!"
"That's not what I meant. You have to know that this is setting up a flood fighting and rescue commando camp. At the critical moment, you have to go to the river embankment to carry sandbags. Can your body bear it?"
Han Yu asked back and joked: "And you turned out to be a lieutenant colonel. According to regulations, demobilized officers must be promoted to a first-level military rank when they join the reserve force. By then you will be a colonel. Where do you stop as a colonel? People will listen to me as a major.
Of?"
Although he was a technical officer in the army and was led by officers with a lower rank than him, his son-in-law's words were still very useful to Han Gong. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's right, your establishment is too small and my rank is too high. I can't go."
It’s so suitable.”
Xiang Fan heard clearly and secretly laughed at his wife for actually quarreling in front of his son-in-law. He walked out and asked curiously: "San'er, aren't reserve officers only available to those who have been transferred from the military to cadres? You have never been a soldier or an officer.
How did you become a reserve major?"
"That was before, but it's different now."
"What's different?"
"The state enacted the Reserve Officers Law in 1995, which clearly stipulates the source and selection of reserve officers. People's armed cadres and militia cadres, non-military college graduates and other citizens who meet the basic requirements for reserve officers can be
Selected as a reserve officer."
"It's so simple! Although the reserve force is not an active force, it is still a force. Isn't this selection too loose?"
"It's not that simple. What I just said is that it can be selected."
Han Yu hugged his daughter, raised his head and explained: "There are a series of strict selection procedures. First, it needs to be recommended by the grassroots People's Armed Forces Department according to the plan and specified conditions issued by the superiors. Then it must be reviewed by the county-level Armed Forces Department, and it must also go through the training unit.
After passing the training, they need to be reviewed and approved by the reserve division, and finally they have to go back to the county-level armed forces department to go through the registration procedures for reserve officers."
Han Xiangning asked subconsciously: "San'er, so you want to participate in training?"
"Well, once the officer candidates are confirmed, the reserve regiment will send us to the reserve division's training team in Jiangcheng for training."
"So you're not a reserve major now?"
"Not yet. It will happen after these procedures are completed."
Just as he was talking, Liang Xiaojun and Han Xiangmeng came back.
Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law were talking about reserve service with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Liang Xiaojun smiled and said: "My father wanted me to be a soldier, but I didn't like being a soldier at that time. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. Salted fish, why don't you do it for me too?"
Let's get drafted, then I can wear a military uniform and let my dad see it."
"What we are setting up is an emergency rescue and disaster relief assault camp. If something happens, we will go to rescue and provide disaster relief. You, a graduate student, can't help."
"Who said that?"
Han Xiangmeng hated it when others looked down on her husband, so she said confidently: "Will anyone be injured during the rescue and disaster relief? Will the people in the disaster area get sick from drinking unclean water? Since it is an army, there must be military doctors. Why can't Xiaojun help?"
busy?"
Han Yu found that what his sister-in-law said was very reasonable. He raised his head and said with a smile: "It's true when you think about it. Doctor Liang, I officially announce that you have been recruited. From now on, you will be the health worker of our Linghai Reserve Camp."
