The brigade commander nodded, "Well, I won't care about the training of the elite troops such as the guard company. I'll leave it to you. I'll see the results after a week. If I'm not satisfied, the consequences will be serious."
When the chief of staff heard this order, he didn't feel unhappy. On the contrary, his heart dropped.
The reason is very simple. You are not afraid that your superiors will not assign you tasks, but you are afraid that your superiors will not assign you tasks.
If there are tasks for you, it means that your value is still there, so you will not be replaced. If you are not even given tasks, then there will be a big problem.
The chief of staff immediately agreed: "Yes, within a week I will completely replace the training plan of the elite troops. While ensuring combat effectiveness, I will condition the soldiers' bodies as quickly as possible."
When the brigade commander saw what the chief of staff said, he continued casually, "Since the chief of staff talked about changing the training plan and conditioning the soldiers' bodies, let's discuss this issue. In the morning, I asked Xiao Lin to speak in the brigade commander's office.
In my name, I issued a notice to each battalion to plan rehabilitation training, because I gave a fatal order, and unless one of the battalion commanders didn't want to do it, I didn't dare to take it seriously.
However, just having a plan is not enough. A roving guidance group must be established to supervise them at all times. Now I order that the roving guidance group will be established with me as the leader and the political commissar as the deputy leader from today. If the team members are there, they will be established now.
Let’s start a discussion and see which members are more suitable.”
As soon as they heard about the tour guidance group, all the leaders became active. This guidance group is the first core team formed by the brigade commander. Joining this team means entering the brigade commander's circle of absolute trust, so everyone behaves
Very positive.
The leaders of the four departments remained silent, because this kind of organization is absolutely inseparable from them.
But leaders alone are not enough. They must have officers. According to the original composition of the steering group, each department should be able to recommend two or two section chiefs. They are all thinking about quotas and who to send.
It's more appropriate to be a team member.
The brigade commander first looked at the chief of staff, "You go ahead and recommend two people."
Because the chief of staff still has to manage elite soldiers, he dare not send out good section chiefs. But sending two random section chiefs seems too disrespectful. After all, it is the first time for the brigade commander to organize such a group.
It's impossible for me to be perfunctory.
Suddenly the chief of staff thought of two people, coughed, and said, "I'll send the deputy chief of staff and Lin Yi to join the team."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. You sent the deputy chief of staff, which is no problem.
But what do you mean by sending Lin Yi? Lin Yi is the assistant to the brigade commander, why do you still need to send him?
When Lin Yi heard this, he was stunned and looked at the chief of staff in surprise. What was he making?
The political commissar coughed and said, "Chief of Staff, what nonsense are you talking about? Lin Yi is also someone you can send?"
The chief of staff smiled at the political commissar, "Although Lin Yi is the brigade commander's assistant, his files are always hung in the staff department, so theoretically, he is also a member of the staff department. I think Lin Yi is very suitable.
Joining the guidance team, that’s why I made this decision.”
The brigade commander's assistant has a staff status, just like the political commissar's assistant must have an officer status. After all, the brigade commander's main responsibility is the headquarters. It is impossible for him to have an assistant. The files are kept elsewhere, which is inappropriate.
When the brigade commander heard this, he also knew that the chief of staff was trying to show his favor, because his assistant rank was too low and his strength was too weak.
As long as he is included in the patrol guidance group, which battalion commander would dare not to take Lin Yi's words seriously? This is a powerful tool to intimidate the grassroots leaders.
Although under normal circumstances, Lin Yi can rely on his status as assistant to the brigade commander to do many things.
But some battalion commanders don't care about status. They insist on competing with you about your actual military rank. Then you, Assistant Lin, will have no choice.
Even if you are the brigade commander's assistant and a complete confidant, you are still just a lieutenant. It is impossible for a lieutenant to command and move the lieutenant colonel. At least according to the rules, you cannot command and move.
After joining the patrol guidance group, Lin Yi indirectly became their superior. Which junior officer would dare not to take Lin Yi seriously?
The brigade commander nodded and calmly accepted the chief of staff's overtures, "Since there is a candidate for the chief of staff, let's fill it in."
The brigade commander spoke, and the objections immediately disappeared. The brigade commander was the team leader, and since the team leader had already spoken, there was no room for team members to refute.
Soon it was the turn of the director of the political office. The director of the political office was very low-key and did not fill in the political commissar assistant in this quota. He knew that Lin Yi needed to improve his strength, so the chief of staff would take the initiative to offer his courtesy.
The assistant to the political commissar does not need to improve his strength, and he cannot even be too arrogant. If he is still stupid enough to imitate the tactics of the chief of staff, it will make people laugh, and he may even be scolded by the political commissar, which is not worthwhile at all.
Afterwards, they pretended to be the leaders of the two departments and saw that the director of the Political Department was selecting candidates in an orderly manner. Naturally, they behaved themselves. They did not dare to mess around when everything was still uncertain.
The personnel list was quickly drawn up, and the brigade commander looked at Lin Yi, "After sorting it out, a notice will be issued in the name of the brigade party committee, requiring each company to study seriously tonight. All soldiers are required to be good at discovering problems and summarizing problems.
Please send any questions about training by email to the mailbox of the Tour Guidance Team at any time, and we will deal with these issues first."
Lin Yi nodded, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
With the unannounced visit of the brigade commander and the establishment of the patrol guidance group, brigade B has entered a major inspection stage. All battalion and company agencies have understood the importance that the current brigade commander attaches to the scientific training of soldiers, and they dare not neglect it and make reforms one after another.
stand up.
The next day, the brigade commander and Lin Yi conducted an unannounced visit to the Second Battalion in the morning, and in the afternoon they inspected the units directly under the brigade headquarters with members of the patrol guidance group.
The first one to inspect was the picket troops. As the vanguard of reform, the picket troops could not stop the tense atmosphere in the brigade if their overcorrecting attitude was not reversed.
When the captain of the picket team heard that the brigade's patrol guidance team was coming, they lined up to welcome him. But when they saw the brigade commander with two bars and four stars, their eyes were a little dazzled. The captain looked at the deputy captain in surprise, "This guy
Aren’t you a visitor to Brigade A? Why do you hold this rank now?”
The deputy captain broke out in a cold sweat, "Two bars and four stars, either the political commissar or the brigade commander. Our political commissar has not been replaced, so he can only be the brigade commander. Who would have thought that the new brigade commander is so young, and he does not have the title of major at all.
Violation."
When the captain heard this, he quickly recalled how he treated the brigade commander that night.
But when I thought about it, I was so busy talking to the section chief while eating that the two of them almost forgot about the scene, and my legs almost went weak. What a disaster. If I offended the brigade commander, wouldn't I be doomed in the future?
