After hearing this, the brigade commander smiled and said: "Okay, don't give me a high hat, you kid. I'm afraid you didn't come here to connect with me. You came here for the reserve team."
Lin Yi knew that the brigade commander was a straightforward person, so it was not good for him to beat around the bush with him: "Yes, I heard from our chief of staff that the reserve team has been with the third battalion for more than three months, but the establishment has not been established yet.
The reserve team is unable to conduct the next training session, so I want to ask what's going on.
If the superiors are not willing to provide the establishment, then take back the reserve team. If they are willing to provide it, then I will train them well, so I want to ask you for some advice."
The brigade commander did not rush to answer Lin Yi's question, but picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Do you know why I support your training in the 'battalion commander's class'?"
Lin Yi responded without thinking: "Because the brigade commander recognizes me."
The brigade commander nodded: "Only part of the answer is correct. I approve more people. Although your qualification to go to the battalion commander's class was personally given by your superiors, if I don't agree, or if I want someone else to go, you must be
I can't go, after all, my superiors won't take out their anger on me just because of a newly appointed deputy battalion commander.
Besides, there are indeed many deputy battalion commanders or even battalion commanders who are more suitable than you. After all, you are too young and do not have an advantage in this regard."
Lin Yi naturally knew this, but now that the battalion commander's class was over, what was the point of talking about it? Could it be that the brigade commander wanted to remember his good deeds, so as to stop asking this question?
But this is not the brigade commander's style. The problem is here. It doesn't matter who asks, it will always be solved.
Moreover, this problem has been dragged on for more than three months. This is not a short period of time, and it is time to solve it.
As for the brigade commander wanting to remember his kindness, this is even more unnecessary, because along the way, he has troubled the brigade commander with too many things. This is just a small problem that cannot be ignored by the battalion commander.
There is no need for him to use this as an excuse.
Lin Yi thought for a long time and expressed that he did not understand, so he said: "Commander, please make it clearer. You like to go straight, and I don't like to go around."
When the brigade commander saw that Lin Yi really didn't understand, he said openly: "Do you think the battalion reform of the third battalion is just copying the previous two heavy-armed synthetic battalions?"
Because Lin Yi had not participated in the whole process of the camp reform, he did not understand the camp reform of the third battalion. Now that he heard what the brigade commander said, he felt that the camp reform of the third battalion was different, so he asked carefully: "Who is the brigade commander?"
Do you want to experiment with Sanying?"
The brigade commander did not nod or shake his head, and his tone was quite calm: "The reform of the Third Battalion naturally needs to be carried out according to the Third Battalion's own conditions, so as to maximize combat effectiveness. Oranges born from the south will become oranges, and those born from the north will become tangerines.
If it’s just copying and copying, what’s the point of the camp reform?
But if you don’t follow the regulations and just make changes according to your own experience and needs, you will be held responsible if something goes wrong. I don’t want you to participate in the camp reform work, so I agreed to let you attend the camp commander class. In this way, if
If there is a problem in the third camp, you can deal with it alone."
When Lin Yi heard this, his throat went dry: "There is no need for the brigade commander to be like this. Since I am the deputy commander of the third battalion, I must take responsibility for the third battalion."
The brigade commander shook his head: "You don't need to persuade me about what I decided. Just because I have high hopes for the Third Battalion, I gave the Third Battalion enough equipment during the battalion reform, and even gave you a reserve team, but the Third Battalion's
The performance did not satisfy me, which also made the brigade leaders feel that approving the reserve force to the third battalion would be a burden, so the reserve force was delayed in being approved.
If you want me to give you an accurate answer today, then I can only say that according to the current situation of the Third Battalion, the reserve team can only withdraw, but I still want to give the Third Battalion a chance, so this time the Third Battalion will be for a week
The training is an opportunity for the reserve team to stay. If the performance of the third battalion is still as poor as before, it will only be a matter of time before the reserve team is returned to the brigade."
When Lin Yi talked to the chief of staff on the phone in the morning, he heard the chief of staff's voice and knew that he was working very hard, so he asked: "Since it is about the retention of the reserve team, shouldn't we leave the reserve team alone?
?”
When the brigade commander heard this, he shook his head: "The third battalion headquarters can't even use the existing equipment. If you add another company to them, they will be even more unable to command. The battalion headquarters is not the regiment headquarters after all.
He does not have that many staff members, and his staff members do not have that much experience. Giving more troops will only make them more bloated and will not produce greater combat effectiveness."
Lin Yi did not deny that what the brigade commander said was right, but he forgot the most important point, that is, he was not in the third battalion.
When the Third Battalion was initially established as a light composite battalion, one less deputy battalion commander would not have a big impact. After all, the unit command had been finalized and the personnel in each unit were quite clear about their job responsibilities, so the cooperation would naturally be closer.
.
But after the battalion reform, the third battalion became a heavily equipped combined battalion. The direct change in equipment was obvious. There were fewer wheeled armored vehicles and more tracked heavy-fire armored vehicles. This directly affected the allocation of the original troops. When they cooperate, problems will naturally arise.
At this time, without a deputy battalion commander who can assist the battalion commander, all matters will fall on the battalion commander. After joining politics, four large units will be installed. If you want to achieve close coordination, you have to see whether the battalion leader can control the macroeconomics.
, there are too many things that need to be considered, and it is really difficult for the battalion commander to do it alone.
So at this time, without a deputy battalion commander, it became quite a problem.
Lin Yi looked at the brigade commander: "This training session will end in five days. I would like to apply to join the team, is it okay?"
The brigade commander thought for a moment and did not refuse: "You can go, but not the reserve team."
"Why?" Lin Yi asked immediately.
"Because they are all new recruits and not suitable for field training. Moreover, the headquarters of the Third Battalion cannot afford to deploy one more unit."
Lin Yi looked serious: "But this is a training session to decide whether the reserve team will stay or stay. Aren't they qualified to participate?"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the brigade commander's expression did not change, so Lin Yi immediately said: "Even if the reserve team is used as a logistics force and goes over to transport supplies, this can be regarded as advancing and retreating together with the third battalion."
The brigade commander saw that Lin Yi refused to give up and was a little relaxed. Lin Yi had begun to appreciate him since he joined the army. After so many years, he had long regarded him as a close brother, so he knew Lin Yi quite well.
Once you want to do something, you will definitely find a way to do it.
Rather than letting Lin Yi do something inappropriate, he might as well agree to let Lin Yi take the reserve team to participate in the training. This can also be regarded as giving Lin Yi a chance. After all, he is the deputy commander of the third battalion and also has the ability to lead the third battalion.
