When Brigadier Meng saw that Lin Yi had been questioned by him, he stopped being aggressive. His feelings for Lin Yi were very deep, whether he was risking his life to stop the flood, going to the border post to make sacrifices, or following him to the
Brigade b started working, and Lin Yi had a very good impression on himself.
Lin Yi's obedience also made Brigadier Meng regard him as a confidant. In this assessment, Lin Yi saved himself face and did not let himself hold his head high in front of Deputy Brigadier Chen. He was very grateful to Lin Yi.
Meaningful.
But thanks are due. As his guide, I must make him understand the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. It is true that you, Lin Yi, won the battle, but this victory is not impeccable and there are always mistakes.
Some people may think that there is no such thing as a perfect battle, as long as you win, it will be enough?
That's true, but if you don't calm down your mentality in time, seriously summarize your own problems, and just point to the victory of one or two battles, how long will you be able to achieve glory?
Only by constantly summarizing shortcomings and being modest and quick-witted can we benefit a lot. That's why he took the initiative to criticize and let Lin Yi understand that victory is more important than victory, but summarizing problems is still summing up problems, and the two cannot be confused.
This meeting went very quickly. In fact, there were not many big problems with the third battalion. The main problem was with the fifth and sixth battalions. Therefore, in this meeting, the two battalion commanders, the fifth and sixth battalions, were criticized for being useless.
Two hours later, the meeting ended in a quiet review. Lin Yi was about to rush back to gather the troops when he was stopped by Brigadier Meng, "Xiao Lin, please wait for a moment."
Upon seeing this, the commander of the third battalion patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and reminded in a low voice, "Speak more about the third battalion."
Lin Yi naturally knew, nodded, and sat back on the chair.
It wasn't until everyone was almost gone that Brigadier Meng looked at the major general's chief of staff, "You say it, or should I?"
The chief of staff was not polite and said directly: "Xiao Lin, there will be a battalion commander class after the new year. I have asked the training office to sign up for you. You can go and take it then."
Battalion commander's class? Lin Yi knew this class very well. After all, as the deputy battalion commander, there was no one who didn't look forward to attending this class.
Because as long as you take this class, you will be the first candidate for battalion commander. It can even be said that as long as you take this class, you will definitely be able to be the battalion commander, as long as you don't make principled mistakes.
The current battalion commander is different from the battalion commanders in the past. The current battalion commander is the top leader of the grassroots organization. This position is very important. Naturally, the gold content of this battalion commander class is also quite high.
You can imagine that among the dozens of classmates in a class, all are future battalion commanders and top leaders of grassroots organizations. The importance of this is self-evident.
But Lin Yi felt that it was a bit too fast. It had only been less than three months since he became the deputy battalion commander. This can be said to be a candidate for battalion commander before his butt is warm? Even if it is
It's not that fast on a rocket.
Lin Yi asked in a low voice: "Chief of Staff, is this a little too fast?"
The chief of staff glanced at Lin Yi in surprise. There were actually people who thought his promotion was slow, "Don't you want to go?"
Lin Yi hurriedly waved her hand, "Of course I want to go, but the food has to be eaten one bite at a time and the road has to be walked step by step. I'm afraid that I'll pull my crotch if I walk too fast, which will make it uncomfortable."
Brigadier Meng laughed when he heard Lin Yi's explanation, "You are using metaphors indiscriminately. Since the chief of staff asked you to go, you should go there honestly. It's just a battalion commander's squad. You may say it's awesome, but in fact it's not.
So awesome. But you can say you are not awesome. After all, this is a place to train grassroots leaders, which should not be underestimated. I hope that after half a year of study, you can cooperate with the commander of the third battalion to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the third battalion.
In addition, the outstanding performance of the Third Battalion this time is destined to become a heavy-armed combined battalion. By then, the Third Battalion will be one of the main battalions of our b brigade. I hope you will not disappoint the Chief of Staff's expectations of you and make the Third Battalion the best.
Bring out your fighting power for me."
Brigadier Meng's words are obvious. This is to remind Lin Yi that you don't need to worry about the trivial matters of the Third Battalion's reform. You can study in peace and mind. When you finish studying, the Third Battalion will also start from top to bottom.
Once the reform is completed, you will be able to take over when the time comes.
In two years, when the commander of the third battalion retires, you can take over the third battalion and maximize its combat effectiveness.
Lin Yi knew that Brigadier Meng needed someone who knew the basics to serve as a chief officer at the grassroots level.
In a powerful army, there are all close relatives. No matter how strong a unit is, it cannot all be direct relatives. There are always strong and weak groups. And the third battalion is now about to become one of the main battalions, so it has its own support.
, Brigadier Meng has the highest control over the troops.
As for the first and second battalions, although they are the absolute main battalions of Brigade B, their qualifications are too old, and their relationships with the leaders of the brigade are complicated. It is extremely difficult to replace a battalion commander.
After all, the brigade political commissar also has his own considerations. Even if he wants to take full control of the army, he cannot interfere with the political commissar's cadre selection.
And even if I replace the first and second battalion commanders, there is no absolute confidant to replace them. It is better not to replace them. After all, those who can take the position of the first and second battalion commanders are not cowards. They are all quite good.
Capable.
In short, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. To quote a great man, "If there are no factions in the party, there will be all kinds of strange things."
Lin Yi didn't want to study this thing. Anyway, as long as the brigade commander needed it, he could do his best, so he immediately said: "Yes, then I will go to the battalion commander's class after a year."
The chief of staff nodded, "Okay, then you go back and gather the troops first. The military columns will probably arrive in the middle of the night. You have a lot to do, so I won't delay your rest time."
Lin Yi stood at attention and saluted, "Yes!"
After saying that, he took steps to walk out. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw the third battalion commander pacing back and forth outside, "Batalion Commander, why haven't you gone back yet?"
The commander of the third battalion saw Lin Yi coming out and hurriedly approached him, "Deputy battalion commander Lin, what does the leader mean by keeping you here? Have you confirmed the quota for our third battalion's heavy equipment combined battalion?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Just now Brigadier Meng said that the number of places in the heavy-duty combined battalion will almost never change. It must be our third battalion. As for the leader keeping me, he informed me that I will go to the battalion commander class after the year.
'."
The third battalion commander was very happy at first when he heard that the quota for the heavy-equipped combined battalion had been confirmed, but when he heard that Lin Yi was going to attend the 'battalion commander's class', he was stunned.
The 'battalion commander's class' is something I have never attended. There are only a few dozen places in the battalion commander's class, but there are thousands of deputy battalion commanders in the entire army. The most important thing is that the battalion commander's class does not only have deputy battalion commanders.
Only senior officers can go, including battalion chiefs of staff, majors, lieutenant colonels and staff officers of the agency, as long as they have full-time battalion posts.
Because the current combined battalion is a deputy regiment-level unit, the deputy battalion commander is the full battalion position.
Calculated in this way, it means that thousands of people are competing for these dozens of places. On average, there are only five people in an army. There are 12 brigades in an army. On average, it takes two brigades to get one place. What is the probability?
There is no need to go into details about how small it is.
