The captain felt that the major in front of him looked friendly, and seeing no one around him, he whispered: "Under normal circumstances, the staff at the battalion headquarters are enough. Even if they are busy, it is normal to second a few people. But the brigade training is not
Has it been a long time since it started? They are all from the grassroots companies who can't stand such high training intensity, so they applied for it themselves."
After hearing this, the brigade commander felt bad, "But in this case, wouldn't the company be short of manpower?"
The captain smiled and said, "If it's not enough, let them go down again. Come up when they are tired. They are officers after all. If the officers are exhausted, how can they keep the army running?"
The brigade commander was a little surprised, "Is this what your battalion commander meant?"
The captain immediately stopped answering. It was impossible for him to speak ill of his battalion commander in front of people outside.
Besides, this is such an obvious thing, do you need to ask?
It is impossible for the battalion commander not to know about this kind of secondment of officers. Even if he did not give the order, he is definitely aware of it. After all, he is the commander of the battalion. This kind of thing cannot be bypassed by him.
At this moment, the chief of staff came in, saw the brigade commander chatting happily, and said with a smile: "Comrade Major, let me show you around the battalion headquarters. After you join the political party, you can walk around in all four units, and then...
It’s time for lunch, our chef is very good at cooking, and he is sure to impress you.”
The brigade commander just wanted to see how many people they had seconded, so he gave them pillows if they were really sleepy. The brigade commander quickly stood up and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."
After walking around, the brigade commander was in a very bad mood. The number of officers seconded from the entire battalion headquarters had almost reached twenty. This number was no joke. If you do a little calculation, you will know how terrible this ratio is.
A grassroots company must have two chief officers, the company commander and instructor, who can never be borrowed. In addition, the only officers who can be seconded are the deputy company commander, deputy instructor and platoon leader.
Platoon leaders are generally dissatisfied with the staff, and most of them are concurrently held by deputy company commanders or deputy instructors. This means that even a fully established company leader can only have five people at most. Except for two people who cannot move, there are only three people who can
Meet the secondment conditions.
There are only eight companies in a battalion. Even if we count all the three officers in each company, there are only twenty-four people.
At this time, more than a dozen people were seconded, and more than half of them were seconded. Isn't this a joke?
The chief of staff didn't know what the brigade commander was thinking, and thought he was angry because he didn't get useful information, so he smiled and said, "Okay, don't be depressed. Lunch is ready. Let's go eat."
Lin Yi was also taken to the restaurant by two lieutenants at this time and waited in advance.
Although they are addicted to playing games, they know better that they cannot delay their meal time, otherwise they will be scolded if the chief of staff sees them.
Moreover, they are just officers seconded from the grassroots company. The chief of staff can let them continue to return to the company with just one word. Now that the company has such a heavy training mission, they are not willing to be tired and have to go to the health center for treatment.
After the chief of staff brought the brigade commander to the restaurant, he saw that the other leaders had not come yet, so he asked someone to call him immediately. The brigade commander gave Lin Yi a hint, and Lin Yi immediately said: "Chief of staff, I want to go to the restaurant."
Toilet, where is the toilet?"
The chief of staff pointed to the lieutenant next to Lin Yi, "Take Lieutenant Lin to the toilet."
The brigade commander also said at this time: "I drank too much tea this morning. I'll go there too."
The chief of staff nodded, "Go back quickly, I guess the battalion commander and instructor will be here soon."
The two quickly entered the toilet. Lin Yi saw the brigade commander's sneaky appearance and laughed, "Brigadier, I really can't imagine that in our brigade, we have to talk in secret."
The brigade commander waved his hand, "Don't laugh, I can't laugh at you. Have you found any useful information through your investigation?"
Lin Yi immediately said: "I sneaked to the playground in the morning and saw one of the companies training. The company commander and instructor were not there. There was only a lieutenant in charge. It seemed that he should be the deputy company commander. While I was talking to him,
I learned that these junior officers all want to run to the battalion headquarters because the amount of training at the grassroots level is too heavy and they can hardly bear it."
The brigade commander sighed, "I already know this news. I walked around the battalion headquarters and found that there are more than a dozen officers who are seconded."
Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this number, "So many?"
The brigade commander nodded, "It seems that the sequelae of high-intensity training have already appeared. If an army has no officers at the grassroots level, what will this army be like?"
Lin Yi said: "If a battalion is compared to a person, then the soldiers are the muscles, the squad leader is the backbone, and the officers are the joints.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be a person without joints. Wouldn’t that mean he would immediately collapse to the ground?”
When the brigade commander heard Lin Yi's example, he felt very vivid, "You're right, officers are like joints. If these joints don't move and are broken, wouldn't that person be paralyzed on the ground? Even if he is not paralyzed on the ground,
, people can’t move, just like zombies. Is there any possibility that such a person can win in a war?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "It's impossible to win."
The brigade commander sighed, "Other battalions will continue to conduct unannounced visits, but after we return to the brigade headquarters in the afternoon, we must add a few additional orders, requiring the grassroots companies to conduct physical examinations on all soldiers.
If a soldier is tired, he will make adjustments to this phenomenon. If a soldier has a sore back and legs, he will focus on rectifying this problem.
If a company complains that it is short of manpower, let them go to the battalion to bring back the officers who have been seconded. If the officers in the company are hiding in the battalion headquarters to avoid training, then what else do they need to do?
In addition, each battalion was informed that seconded officers must report to the brigade. The brigade must know the transfer of any officer. If the brigade does not approve it, the battalion is not allowed to second officers from the company. How can people with no joints have
Powerful combat effectiveness."
After Lin Yi wrote them down one by one, he and the brigade commander walked out of the toilet.
Back in the restaurant, the battalion commander stood up quickly, which surprised everyone.
The battalion commander suddenly thought about how he, a lieutenant colonel, could stand up when facing a major. This was a bit unreasonable.
But seeing everyone's surprised looks, I was anxious to sit back down, which was even more inappropriate.
Fortunately, the battalion commander came up with an idea in a hurry. He pointed to the teapot opposite and said, "Pass the teapot to me. I'll drink some water."
Everyone saw that the battalion commander stood up to get the kettle and quickly handed the kettle over. After the battalion commander poured the tea slowly, he looked at the two people and pointed to the seat next to them, "Comrades, come and eat.
Our camp chef’s skills are pretty good.”
When the brigade commander saw the battalion commander pouring water, his hands were shaking slightly. After sitting over, he whispered in the battalion commander's ear: "I'm still not confident enough. I'll practice more in the future."
The battalion commander did not dare to nod, so he could only say leisurely: "I understand. The brigade leaders have already told me. I promise to treat you well."
