Chapter 435 The identity of the deputy battalion commander
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Either I'm here to do business, or I'm just here to take a look. Your battalion commander knows me, but at this point, he should still be sleeping. It doesn't matter if he can't get in. I can just wait until dawn to get in."
The third company commander was not surprised to hear that Lin Yi knew the battalion commander. After all, the military dog company is a very special unit. It often assists battalions in completing search and arrest tasks. As long as there is a meeting in the brigade, the military dog company is a directly subordinate unit, and 80% of them are also
Those who will participate will naturally meet the battalion commanders at that time, so it is normal for them to get to know each other.
However, the third company commander always felt that something was not right. Lin Yi came over in the middle of the night. This was not in line with common sense. However, he was only a company commander and had no right to interrogate company commanders from other units, so he had to say: "How about you go in first?"
It’s okay to sit in the guard room or stand at the door, but it would be bad if you are caught by the brigade pickets.”
As soon as the picket in the brigade was mentioned, the picket in the camp behind the third company commander looked at Lin Yi's face carefully and suddenly asked: "This company commander, did you bring the brigade picket down for inspection?"
When the third company commander heard this, he was a little puzzled. How could a low-level company commander command a mobile brigade to picket?
So he turned to look at the picket and said, "Old Yang, are you kidding me?"
Unexpectedly, the picket shook his head and asked seriously: "Company Commander Lin, have you ever been an assistant to the brigade commander?"
Lin Jian smiled when he saw that he was recognized, "I was the assistant to the brigade commander for a while, but that was all last year, do you still remember?"
The picket quickly saluted, "Company Commander Lin, at that time the army had just been reformed and the brigade commander had just taken office. You were a confidant who came with him. I will definitely remember it. But Captain Lin, you are here in the middle of the night.
It’s definitely not just for casual viewing. Did you come with orders from the brigade?”
Lin Yi saw that the picket was quite attentive, so he stopped hiding his clumsiness. Since someone took the initiative to show favor to him, he had to win over him. Although he had a relationship as a brigade commander, the brigade commander was a high-ranking figure after all. Many people
Trivial matters can only be solved by yourself.
So I had to have some confidants, so I nodded and said, "I am the new deputy commander of the third battalion. What is your name?"
The picket quickly stood at attention and said: "Report to Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, my name is Yang Peng, and I serve as the deputy captain of the picket team of the Military Affairs Section."
The picket in the camp is only a platoon-level unit, and the deputy captain is only a deputy platoon leader. This is equivalent to a false position, because there are basically no deputy platoon-level titles in the army, and his military rank is only a staff sergeant.
As long as he is not an officer, he will definitely not be able to hold a full-time job, so if he is good, he will only last for this position and will not be promoted.
The third company commander was shocked when he heard that Lin Yi was the new deputy battalion commander. How could a lieutenant be the deputy battalion commander? This is simply impossible.
But it suddenly occurred to me that if his rank was promoted by one level at the end of the year, wouldn't it just meet the minimum rank standard for deputy battalion commander?
The third company commander suddenly felt that people with backgrounds were so powerful. He didn't get promoted in rank, but in position. He had been a company commander for two years, and now he couldn't even get a deputy chief of staff.
Some people may think that the deputy chief of staff of the battalion is a full-time sergeant, and your company commander is also a full-time sergeant. How could you neglect the head of a chicken and become the tail of a phoenix?
This is actually not difficult to understand, because the position of company commander has a longevity. If you cannot be promoted to an officer in the battalion in time, after serving as company commander, you will be re-elected for one term at most, and you will be discharged.
After all, there are nine companies in the third battalion, and all nine company commanders are eyeing the position of deputy chief of staff. This is an absolute favorite.
But what I didn't expect was that Lin Yi was just a lieutenant now, but he directly became the deputy battalion commander. What is the concept of a deputy battalion commander? It is a higher level than the battalion chief of staff.
Although the deputy battalion commander and the battalion chief of staff are both deputy battalion officials, the deputy battalion commander is the battalion leader, and your chief of staff is just a department leader. There is a difference between the two.
But the third company commander felt uncomfortable in his heart and had to smile. If he could establish a good relationship with Lin Yi, he would have great prospects for his position as deputy chief of staff.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, please come to the guard room and sit down for a while. It's cold outside, don't freeze."
Lin Jing noticed the sudden change in the attitude of the third company commander and didn't think there was anything wrong. He just nodded and strode into the guard room.
The third company commander brought a cup of hot water and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, look at why you are here in the middle of the night. If you could tell me before you come, I will be waiting for you at the door.
You stayed so long."
Lin Yi took the hot water and said, "It doesn't matter. I couldn't sleep either, so I came here early just to see your reaction ability at night. So far, your reaction ability is quite good."
The third company commander quickly apologized and said with a smile: "There are still some shortcomings. I will need more guidance from Deputy Battalion Commander Lin in the future."
Lin Yi had nowhere to go now, so he simply said: "How about I follow you on a patrol?"
When the third company commander heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether Lin Yi was testing him or for some other reason. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, although you are our deputy battalion commander, you can
Your file has not been transferred yet, and the instructor did not read out your appointment order at the party meeting, so you are not yet our official deputy battalion commander.
Please be considerate of me and don't make it difficult for me. Just feel aggrieved for a while and I will send you to the battalion commander's office at dawn. You can go wherever you want at that time."
Lin Yi patted his head and said, "I was careless, but you are right to stick to your principles. Then I will wait for dawn, and you can go and do your work first."
In fact, it wasn't long before dawn. More than an hour later, the wake-up call rang. The third company commander wore a cotton-padded jacket and got into the guard room. He looked at Lin Yi and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, I will take you to see the battalion."
Come on. By the way, are you hungry? If you are, I will take you to the cafeteria first."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "The battalion commander probably hasn't gotten up yet, and the canteen has just started cooking. In this case, you can take me to the playground. Anyway, you have to maintain basic discipline during picketing, and you need someone there, so it won't be a delay for you.
It’s about that.”
The third company commander said quickly: "Yes, then follow me."
After speaking, the Third Company Commander and Vice Captain Yang took Lin Yi to the playground, but stopped at the entrance of the playground, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, let's just stand here and watch. This is where all soldiers must pass."
, you might as well get familiar with our troops."
Lin Yi nodded, "Okay, let's watch it here."
But as soon as Lin Yi stood still, he felt that the third company commander and deputy captain Yang took half a step back, and the three of them stood in a perfect formation. Lin Yi knew that they did this to highlight their status, and he shook his head helplessly.
