The chief of staff of the army looked at Brigadier Meng at this time: "You are the brigade commander, and you are the one responsible for supervising the reform of the third battalion. What do you think of Lin Yi's suggestions?"
As the brigade commander, Brigadier Meng played a vital role in the decision of the reserve team. Not only Lin Yi, but also the leaders of the entire third battalion were looking at the brigade commander nervously.
The brigade commander smiled at this time: "You have to do something to understand everything. For things we don't understand, we must dare to cross the river by feeling the stones. Now that there are people who are willing to touch, I naturally support it.
If we successfully cross the river, we will have a new experience. Even if we drown in the river, it is just an exploration, no big deal."
The military chief of staff turned to look at Meng Chuan: "Then do you support the reserve team joining the third battalion?"
Brigadier Meng nodded solemnly: "Yes, I support it."
A brigade commander said such affirmative words, so naturally he couldn't say much. There were 100,000 people in a group army and a small company-level establishment, so he really didn't want to worry too much.
"The issue of the reserve team will be put to rest for now. Let's move on to the next question."
This inventory meeting lasted only one day and came to an end.
Naturally, the Third Battalion has been praised many times, but regarding the last battle, which resulted in the almost complete annihilation of the Third Battalion's combat troops, the director still made severe criticism. As the commander of the Third Battalion's frontline troops, Lin Yi, because of his performance
It's good, so it hasn't been debited yet.
The commander of the third battalion, because he did not understand the enemy's situation, urged the frontline troops to launch attacks many times, resulting in excessive losses to the troops, and was sentenced to a job sanction for one year.
This result was expected by everyone. The third battalion commander was naturally willing to accept the punishment. The battalion commander was punished and the deputy battalion commander was praised. To a certain extent, this indeed put the battalion commander at a relatively disadvantaged level.
After the meeting, the chief of staff of the army looked at Lin Yi: "Xiao Lin, tomorrow our group is going to visit retired heroes, and you will come with us."
The chief of staff of the army did not give Lin Yi any choice, so Lin Yi naturally had no choice but to agree.
In fact, Lin Yi did not want to follow the leader. It was not that he disrespected the old hero, but he followed the leader himself. It would inevitably make him feel superior to others, and it would be nothing more than a few polite words.
He even wanted to take some time out, bring some wine and meat, and then sit face to face with the old hero, have a good drink, talk about the world, and listen to the thrilling battlefield. This would make sense.
The brigade commander looked at Lin Yi deep in thought and patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong? You were invited to join the team by the commander. Are you so surprised?"
Lin Yi had never regarded the brigade commander as an outsider. He was also his confidant. If he had anything to say, he would naturally say it bluntly: "Brigade commander, why do you think the old hero is staying here?"
The brigade commander breathed out: "I talked to him last time. I praised him as a real hero. He waved his hand and said that it was those comrades who sacrificed their lives. He felt that he did not deserve to stay in a place with such a good environment to enjoy the honor.
This troubled his conscience. His comrades were only twenty years old when they died, and he has lived decades longer than them, so he is already good enough. He can no longer waste the country's resources."
When Lin Yi heard this, his eyes were startled, and then he nodded: "This is a real hero."
Brigadier Meng also nodded: "I have two boxes of wine in the trunk. Later you go get some mineral water bottles and replace the packaging, and then we will send them to him."
Lin Yi quickly agreed: "Yes, I will do it immediately."
After leaving the director's department, Lin Yi drove the brigade commander's car back to the third battalion, and then asked the logistics chief to prepare some empty mineral water bottles.
There is no shortage of mineral water in the army, because water is the source of life and the most important part of field exercises. Its role is even much higher than food.
Therefore, the head of the logistics department prepared quickly. Lin Yi got out of the car, took off his training clothes, and carried two boxes of wine into the tent.
The logistics chief saw Lin Yi acting mysteriously and asked with a smile: "Deputy battalion commander, what are you doing? You are so mysterious."
After saying that, he opened it and took a look. When he saw two boxes of special supplies for the military region, he was also confused: "Where did you get such a good wine? Is this our celebration wine? This quality is too high."
It’s high, at least it must be drunk by brigade leaders, wouldn’t it be a bit wasteful for us to drink it?”
Lin Yi glanced at the logistics chief: "You're right, I can't even drink this stuff. When I was an assistant to the brigade commander, I would take back half a bottle at most, and others would drink the rest. Let's not even think about it.
Already."
The head of the logistics department chuckled and said, "Wine is for people to drink. No matter how precious it is, it will not end up in your stomach."
Lin Yi glanced at the head of the logistics department who was talking about the train: "You have to drink it into your stomach, but it's not our stomach, it's the belly of the old hero. Hurry up and put the wine into the mineral water bottle. I will follow the chief to visit his old man tomorrow.
, take him there along the way."
When the head of the logistics department heard that it was sent to the old hero, he did not dare to think about drinking this wine. This wine is given to others to drink, so it is not wasted. If you want to drink it yourself, there are so many wines on the market.
Enough to drink for yourself.
Soon a box of mineral water bottles was packed and sealed. Lin Yi took a marker, wrote the words "B Brigade Mineral Water" on it, and put it in the trunk of the car.
As soon as they returned to the tent, the battalion commander walked in cautiously. When he saw that Lin Yi was the only one in the tent, he asked in a low voice: "Where is the brigade commander? I see his car is at the door."
Lin Yi smiled: "I drove the brigade commander's car here. The brigade commander has returned to his dormitory."
When the battalion commander heard this, he felt relieved. Then he took a sniff and frowned: "Xiao Lin, open the tent quickly to disperse the smell. If the superior leaders come, they will curse you."
Lin Yi was not worried about the superiors coming down. The brigade commander's car was at the door. Who could be more powerful than the brigade commander? So he waved his hand: "The smell of alcohol is nothing. The brigade commander's car is at the door. What are you afraid of? Eh.
, what are you carrying in your hands? Two big bags."
The battalion commander put two large bags of snacks on the table: "Aren't we going to visit the old hero tomorrow? The superior informed me and the instructor that we were going. I thought I had to carry something, so I went to the store for a walk, and I didn't want anything else.
He said, there are a lot of things in the store, that’s all there is to buy.”
Lin Yi opened the bag and looked at it curiously, then picked up a pack of beef jerky: "Do you know what kind of business the old hero is doing here?"
The battalion commander shook his head: "They must be herdsmen. After all, the mountains and rivers here are rich and lush, so it would be great to raise these things."
Lin Yi smiled and nodded: "Since you know that I am a herdsman, why do you buy this kind of beef jerky for me? I have dozens of cows. If you want to eat, you can eat it at any time. Just take out the beef jerky."
, take it back and let’s eat it. I’ll go to the store to buy some soft stuff and send it over.”
