Time flies, and eight months have passed. During these eight months, due to the vigorous promotion of Brigadier Xia, Lin Yi's method of training the third battalion was successfully tested in the entire brigade.
And because of Chief of Staff Duan's promotion, Lin Yi became famous for a time, and even the war zone was talking about it. After all, Director Meng specially sent two staff officers to the third battalion to study and exchange.
At this time, within the brigade headquarters, because Deputy Brigadier Chen was promoted to serve in the military, the political commissar and Brigadier Xia discussed who should fill the position of deputy brigade commander.
Generally speaking, when the deputy brigade commander is transferred, the first person in line should be the brigade chief of staff. Although the battalion commanders are also nominated, their competitiveness is generally not strong.
Brigadier Xia hesitated for a while and said: "Chief of staff is fine, but I think the commander of the third battalion is also good, and the position of deputy brigade commander, after all, is a military management cadre, and it is decided by the military. Let me tell you, let's not
If you get involved, report it directly to the chief of staff and the commander of the third battalion, and we will obey whatever the army decides."
The political commissar also knew Lin Yi's background and Brigadier Xia's connections in the military, so he nodded: "Okay, then I'll sort out the information and send it to the military later. By the way, Chen Ying's maternity leave has been
It has been more than a month since she was approved, and if we count the days, she is about to give birth. In this case, I will send someone to represent the brigade to the County People's Hospital to visit."
When Brigadier Xia heard this, he frowned: "County hospital? I remember didn't Chief of Staff Duan make a request for Chen Ying to go to a military hospital to give birth?"
The political commissar also nodded repeatedly: "That's what I said, but you don't know how stubborn that girl Chen Ying is. The military hospital is in the provincial capital, a three-hour drive away. She is unwilling to go there.
County women all deliver their babies in county hospitals, so there is no need for them to make a big show of occupying the qualifications of military hospitals.
You also know that our traveling hospital does not have an obstetrics and gynecology department, so there is no way for Chen Ying to give birth in our hospital."
Brigadier Xia scratched his head: "Well, I'll go there in person tomorrow."
Since the political commissar wanted to sort out the information, he agreed: "Okay, then Brigadier Xia will do the hard work."
Time came in the afternoon, and a meeting happened to be held in the army. The political commissar distributed the information to everyone at this time: "All of you here are members of the Standing Committee. In this meeting, we will vote on the candidate for deputy brigade commander of brigade, who will be selected by the brigade party committee.
Two people, one is the brigade chief of staff and the other is the third battalion commander.
The name of Third Battalion Commander Lin Yi should be familiar to you. His training program has been extended to Brigade B and has been successful. Other units in the army are also learning from it.
As for the brigade chief of staff, this person has strong comprehensive ability and is a deputy brigade-level cadre. Being a deputy brigade commander may be more comprehensive. Both have advantages and disadvantages. You can read the information first. After reading, we will vote by a show of hands.
.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion. As for the candidate for deputy brigade commander, should everyone hold a meeting to discuss it?
Generally, the political commissar and the military commander discuss this matter among themselves. After the discussion is successful, they ask the Political Department to inspect it. If there is no problem, they will announce their appointment. What does it mean to announce it with great fanfare?
Before everyone could finish reading the information, Chief of Staff Duan said: "I know Lin Yi, and I personally think he is more suitable for the position of deputy brigade commander of b brigade. Maybe people will think that Lin Yi is relatively young and can do this now."
A bit early, but I don't think so.
Nowadays, efforts are being made to rejuvenate cadres everywhere. Younger cadres can use their minds faster. Brigade b itself is not yet the main unit of our army.
However, after the entire brigade has been refined by Lin Yi's training methods, its combat effectiveness is on par with the main brigade, and even slightly surpasses it. If Lin Yi is appointed as deputy brigade commander at this time, I think brigade B will be under his leadership.
Take it to the next level.”
With the first person in mind, others also agreed. After all, Chief of Staff Duan has been working in the army for almost two years and seems to be getting better. So it is not a bad thing to make more good friends here.
At this time, the deputy political commissar said: "Old Duan, as far as I know, the relationship between Lin Yi and you is not ordinary. You originally intended to transfer him to be your secretary. Is there such a thing?"
Chief of Staff Duan chuckled and said: "Yes, yes, but as you have all seen, it is not that he is unwilling to be my secretary. Based on this, I should not avoid suspicion when discussing his appointment."
The political commissar laughed: "There is no need to avoid suspicion, even if there is a relationship, there is no need to avoid suspicion. What we value is character and ability, and it has nothing to do with other things."
Then he looked at everyone: "How did you read the information? If you haven't finished it, I will give you some more time. If you have finished it, let's vote by a show of hands."
Then he said: "If you support Lin Yi, please raise your hands."
After the voice fell behind, everyone looked at each other because they didn't see the two supervisors raising their hands. Although the chief of staff had expressed his position at this time, he was only a deputy after all. Even if he had a future, for now, we still have to look at the two supervisors.
That's what the chief officer meant.
Chief of Staff Duan saw that no one raised their hands and said: "If the political commissar said you support Lin Yi, please raise your hands."
Everyone still didn't respond and stared at the two chief officers. At this time, the commander raised his hand: "I also think Lin Yi is more suitable for the position of deputy brigade commander of brigade."
When the military commander raised his hand, half of it was raised in an instant.
The political commissar also raised his hand at this time: "I have also seen Lin Yi's ability. The commander of the army is still telling me whether he should be transferred to the army's combat department as the director. Now I see, the post
It might be better for the deputy brigade commander of b brigade to settle down, and I support that."
Chief of Staff Duan did not regret hearing this. Although the Operations Department is a department in the military, it seems very glorious, but the military is full of talents and has more trivial matters. For Lin Yi, it is better to accumulate more grassroots and middle-level positions.
Experience is a good thing. If you join the army now, your foundation will easily be unstable. Lin Yi's foundation is at the grassroots level. As long as he can lead the grassroots level well, his future will be limitless.
As the political commissar raised his hand, the remaining half of the people also raised their hands. To them, a brigade chief of staff was nothing, and it was only right to follow the leader's footsteps.
Seeing the unanimous vote, the political commissar nodded: "In this case, the decision has been made to appoint Lin Yi as the deputy brigade commander of Brigade B. Director Zhang, please send someone to investigate Lin Yi. If there is no problem, then
The appointment can be made."
the next day.
Lin Yi was waiting anxiously at the door of the delivery room. This was the 12th hour after Chen Ying entered the delivery room. Not only was Lin Yi there, but both parents were also sitting on chairs.
At this time, Chen Ying's mother looked at Lin Yi: "Xiao Lin, you go to the car and lie down for a while. We will guard here. You didn't sleep a wink last night. If you don't go, you may not be able to bear it."
Lin Yi waved his hand: "Mom, I'm not sleepy. I remember when Xiaoying and I were on a mission, we lay down in the morning field for more than thirty hours and nothing happened. It's only twelve hours, it's nothing.
, I just don’t know how Xiaoying’s condition is.”
Chen Ying's mother was also very anxious, but she still said: "Ying'er's health has been fine since she was a child. She should be fine. You should feel at ease."
At this time, Brigadier Xia came over with his assistant. When he saw Lin Yi waiting anxiously, he asked with concern: "Xiao Lin, how long has it been since Chen Ying pushed in? What did the doctor say?"
Lin Yi saw that it was Brigadier Xia who came in person and said quickly: "It has been 12 hours and we still don't know the situation."
Brigadier Xia patted Lin Yi: "It's no big deal. Chen Ying was originally a special forces soldier, so there shouldn't be any problems. I'm here this time to tell you good news. The army has approved the appointment of you as b.
Deputy brigade commander."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, a baby's cry came from the delivery room, which made Lin Yi's tense nerves relax. He didn't even hear Brigadier Xia's words clearly, so he hurried to the door: "Captain Xia
, I’ll go see Chen Ying and the kids first, and we’ll talk about it later.”
Seeing Lin Yi running away quickly, Brigadier Xia also smiled and said: "You boy, today is a double blessing..."
