Lin Yi nodded, "Okay, you go and call him, we will go directly to the canteen later."
The third company commander immediately nodded, "Thank you, deputy battalion commander!"
The deputy chief of staff led Lin Yi to the canteen quickly. The large canteen and the small canteen are integrated, but they are not the same door. However, you can also enter the small canteen from the large canteen, but generally only the cooking soldiers use that door.
, ordinary soldiers dare not leave, that is, when someone comes in or out, they will take a curious look inside.
At this time, all the soldiers in the battalion were singing a song before meals. Lin Yi saw people coming and going at the entrance of the canteen, and grabbed the deputy chief of staff, "Don't people in the canteen need to sing a song before meals?"
The deputy chief of staff nodded, "Yes, after all, the leaders of the agency are not so punctual in their meal times, and it is difficult to get everyone together at once, so I have never sung it. And before the military reform, when the battalion headquarters was not a grassroots agency, it was full of
There were only a dozen people in total, and naturally they couldn’t sing, so the tradition continued.”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and did not express an opinion. In fact, he really hoped that all the officers and soldiers in the battalion would be of the same mind. How to achieve this is that the officers and soldiers share the same kitchen. Whatever the soldiers eat, the agency staff will eat. The soldiers must sing a song before eating.
, leaders naturally have to sing too.
When I was in the border defense regiment, the political commissar there did this, but the pressure was too great. By abolishing the canteen, it was the entire regiment's leading cadres who were offended.
Lin Yi doesn't have the ability now, even though he is the deputy battalion commander, but even the instructors probably don't have the heart to do this. This requires great courage.
If one day I can become a battalion commander, no matter how much pressure I am under, I have to do it. A combined battalion can have as few as seven or eight hundred people and as many as a thousand commanding officers. If I can twist these people into a rope,
The power exerted by this is extremely huge.
I followed the deputy chief of staff into the canteen, where people were already eating. From their military ranks, it could be seen that these were office workers, not leaders.
The place where the military ranks were gathered was the two tables in the corner. Lin Yi took a look and saw that all the leaders who had participated in politics were there, but the dining table was full of food, obviously waiting for his arrival.
When the chief of staff saw Lin Yi coming, he immediately stood up and said, "The deputy battalion commander is here, hurry up and take your seat. The battalion commander and instructor went to the kitchen to prepare food and will be here soon."
These words made Lin Yi stunned for a moment. As the two highest officers in the camp, it is most normal that they are not here now. However, he did not expect that not only are they here, but they also go to the kitchen to cook. This is simply unheard of.
ah.
The chief of staff was a little stunned when he saw Lin Yi, and smiled and asked Lin Yi to sit down, "This shows that the deputy battalion commander is very charming, so that the battalion commander and instructors value you so much."
Lin Yi felt a little uneasy. When he went to the office in the morning, the battalion commander brought him coffee and the instructor brought him a fruit plate. At dinner, he cooked for himself. What a hell if he asked himself for nothing.
.
After a while, the battalion commander and the instructor came over with two plates of food, "Xiao Lin, you came just in time, the food is all served. The instructor and I are average cooks, you try it first, whether it tastes good or not."
It’s our intention.”
Lin Yi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted good. He nodded quickly, "It tastes so good. You all should eat it quickly."
The battalion commander picked up the chopsticks and looked at everyone, "The deputy battalion commander has spoken. Don't be stunned. Eat quickly."
When the battalion commander spoke, everyone started using their chopsticks. As a soldier, he didn't have so many polite words, and he ate very quickly. Lin Yi had a very bad meal, especially after the third company commander came.
I asked them to eat at the table next to me.
Upon seeing this, the battalion commander directly asked the two department leaders to go to the table next to them to eat. The two vacant seats were directly occupied by the third company commander and the instructor.
This confused the two of them, but they couldn't help but sit down. The battalion commander had already spoken, so he had no choice but to obey, so he had to sit down first, and after finishing the meal, he apologized to the two department leaders.
Lin Yi knew that the battalion commander must have something to ask of him, and it was definitely not a trivial matter. Now he couldn't calm down. If he didn't ask, Lin Yi might not even be able to sleep well at night.
So when everyone had eaten about the same, Lin Yi asked casually: "Battalion Commander, how is the current situation of our battalion? I went to the training ground and watched the training scenes of the soldiers. The combat effectiveness and mental state of the soldiers are very good.
"
The battalion commander smiled and said, "Although our third battalion cannot compare with the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the first and second battalions, looking at the entire brigade, it is definitely at an above-average level. We can even guarantee that in some aspects, we are definitely not weaker than
One or two battalions.”
This is not a joke by the third battalion commander. The reason why the combined brigade is called a combined brigade is because the troops are combined, which is different from the original single unit. A brigade has troops from all aspects, and each battalion has a different mission.
, the main battalions are basically heavily mechanized battalions. Although other battalions are also mechanized, they will be more inclined to high-speed maneuvers, so they will be equipped with more wheeled assault artillery vehicles and wheeled armored vehicles.
Each battalion has a different mission, which results in each battalion having outstanding advantages and relatively weak disadvantages. The advantages can complement each other, and the disadvantages can naturally complement each other. So now, even though a brigade has only 7,000 people, in terms of
In terms of combat effectiveness, the current combined brigade can completely defeat the original 10,000-level armor division.
Lin Yi nodded, "I agree with this."
At this time, the battalion commander suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that sometimes strong combat effectiveness doesn't mean anything. This year, the brigade will give a quota for a heavy-armed combined battalion. Since the 1st and 2nd Battalions are both this type of troops, we are the only ones left with this quota."
If the next five battalions compete for it, the service support battalion will definitely not participate.
Xiao Lin, you know, the rumor I heard is that the quota for this battalion will be given to the fourth battalion. You said that in various evaluations, the third battalion is always better than the fourth battalion, even if there are some who are overtaken by the fourth battalion.
There are not many projects. No matter how we calculate it, even if it is based on seniority, the quota for this heavy equipment synthesis battalion should be our battalion."
When Lin Yi heard what the battalion commander said, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. It turned out to be this reason. But who should be given the quota in the heavy equipment battalion was decided by the brigade leader. He was a deputy battalion commander. Even if he had connections, he could
Contacting Brigadier Meng, what effect would that have?
This quota cannot be transferred casually based on the will of a brigade commander. It must pass the evaluation of all parties.
"Battal Commander, is this rumor of yours accurate? Why didn't I hear about it?"
