Chapter 1455 The Old Company Commander Came to Defect

"I'm going! This kid is a lot better!"

When Xia Ruofei heard this familiar voice, he immediately let go of his hand, turned around and called out, "Hello, company commander!"

The person who hid behind the door and "sniffed" Xia Ruofei was the company commander Ma Zheng when Xia Ruofei was in the army.

Wolf King Guo Zhan was sitting at the table with a few cadres and was looking at them both with a smile.

Xia Ruofei took a closer look and saw that the military rank on Ma Zheng's shoulders had changed to two bars and one star, which means he was promoted to major.

Ma Zheng showed a wry smile on his face and said, "I'm no longer the company commander..."

Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment, this is obviously a promotion, why do you feel that Ma Zheng is still a little unhappy?

At this time, Guo Zhan said, "Blood Wolf, it's time to call him the assistant instructor!"

"Ah?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help crying.

He was very surprised that how did Ma Zheng change to be a political cadre?

It's not that political cadres are bad, but Ma Zheng has always been a military cadre. Needless to say, when he was a platoon leader, he later became a deputy company commander, a training staff officer, and a company commander.

According to the normal development trajectory, even if Ma Zheng is promoted, he should be the deputy battalion commander or the staff officer and chief of the deputy battalion. How can he become a deputy instructor?

In a unit like the Lone Wolf Commando, after changing to a political cadre, the path is much narrower.

"Ah what?" Guo Zhan said, "Come and sit down, let's talk while we eat!"

"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said subconsciously.

Guo Zhan sat on the main seat without letting go. On his left was also a major officer of the same rank as Ma Zheng, but the seat on the right was vacant, obviously reserved for Xia Ruofei.

If Xia Ruofei was serving in the army, the lieutenant and colonel at this table were here, and a non-commissioned officer of him would definitely not be able to sit in that position.

But now that he has retired, it is not inappropriate to return to the old army as a guest.

Moreover, Xia Ruofei is no longer the Wu Xia Amon of the year. He has seen much more big scenes than these captains and majors.

In fact, Guo Zhan's arrangement has certain considerations.

Including the cadres he called to accompany him, he also had a choice.

To put it bluntly, Xia Ruofei helped him solve a lot of problems this time, not to mention that Xia Ruofei was deeply loved by Guo Zhan when he was a soldier, and he performed very well after retiring. Guo Zhan naturally treated Xia Ruofei very politely. .

Xia Ruofei just hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile, walked to Guo Zhan's side and sat down.

Ma Zheng also sat on his right next to Xia Ruofei.

After everyone was seated, Guo Zhan shouted, "Come, come! All are full first!"

A lieutenant opposite immediately stood up consciously and filled everyone's glasses.

But it was not wine, but Sprite. That kind of big bottle of Sprite, there are several bottles on the table.

The military has implemented the strictest prohibition on alcohol ever since the commander-in-chief made up his mind to rectify his style.

It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol on weekdays. It is absolutely forbidden to touch a drop of alcohol. This is a high-voltage line.

Even on weekends and holidays, you can drink in moderation, but you must not drink too much, and you can't drink in the cafeteria of your unit.

In other words, drink a little on weekends and holidays, but only at home with two or three friends.

Guo Zhan also explained with a smile: "Blood Wolf, you must also understand the prohibition of alcohol, so there must be no way to accompany you to drink today, you understand! Next time I'm on vacation, I'll go to you, let's have another drink. happy!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Old leader, I understand! Besides... As long as the feelings are in place, what's not to drink?"

"Haha! Well said!" Guo Zhan said with a laugh, "It's worth a toast!"

"Come, come! Cheers!"

"Welcome Xia Squad Leader back to the old army!"

"Welcome home! Cheers!"

After everyone clinked glasses, they raised their heads and drank a whole glass of Sprite. Although not drinking alcohol, the heroic spirit of the soldiers is not much at all.

After drinking, Xia Ruofei turned to look at Ma Zheng and asked, "Old company commander, what's the situation? Why did you suddenly change to a political worker?"

Ma Zheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "It's not too sudden... In fact, not long after you were discharged from the army, I had already changed to be an instructor..."

At this time, Guo Zhan said: "Ruofei, Xiaoma has been in a little situation a few years ago... He was injured in training and ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament. Although the repair operation was successful, it was impossible for his body to return to normal. The previous level, whether it is speed or explosiveness, has been greatly affected, and after evaluation, he is no longer suitable for serving as a military commander, so he changed his position as an instructor."

When Xia Ruofei heard the words, he immediately understood that this kind of thing would not be handled by ordinary troops. After all, although the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament was considered a serious injury, since the repair operation was very successful, it would not affect normal movement and cope with daily life. Training is fine, soldiers are not professional athletes. However, the Lone Wolf Commando was of a special nature and had much higher requirements than ordinary troops. Ma Zheng suffered such an injury and it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would be a political cadre.

Xia Ruofei said to Ma Zheng, "Old company commander, take a closer look, in any position, you are contributing to the army..."

Xia Ruofei himself felt that these words of comfort were a bit pale, but Ma Zheng smiled very indifferently and said, "Xiao Xia, you don't need to comfort me. It's been a long time since this happened, and I've already seen it myself. "

Guo Zhan was silent for a moment, then said, "Ruofei, this time the organizational system is adjusted, the number of cadres has been reduced a lot, and the number of leadership positions has been reduced even more. In addition, the unit is downgraded, so Ma Zheng may..."

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be silent, he had already guessed the result.

A regiment-level unit of the Lone Wolf Commando became an assault battalion under the Marine Brigade. The ones who suffered the most were the cadres at the level of Ma Zheng. After all, the chiefs of the regiment and the old staff were all deputy battalion staff. Plus a few battalion deputy battalion commanders and deputy instructors... The assault battalion itself is just a battalion-level unit after the transfer, how could it be possible to arrange so many people.

Ma Zheng's body still has injuries, and elimination is almost inevitable.

Guo Zhan continued: "In Ma Zheng's situation, there are organizational considerations, he can choose to be diverted to other troops. To be honest, with Ma Zheng's military quality, even if the ligament has been broken, he can be a reconnaissance battalion. The battalion commander still has no problem at all!"

"Yeah! There is no problem with the old company commander's ability, and the qualifications are sufficient!" Xia Ruofei said, "Going to other troops is also a good choice!"

Guo Zhan glared at Ma Zheng angrily, and said, "But this stubborn donkey firmly rejected the plan of diversion!"

Speaking of this, Guo Zhan was also annoyed, and said to Ma Zheng, "Do you know how difficult it is for you to be assigned the post of military chief under such circumstances and to be upgraded by one level? The head of the group army...even the head of the army in the theater speaks for you personally, saying that you are a second-class hero, and you must take special care of your life and death for the country and the army! What about you? Let it go! What are you planning?"

Ma Zheng said with a smile: "Wolf King, this matter is a foregone conclusion, it's useless for you to get angry..."

"Isn't this mad at you? When I think about this, I can't help but get angry!" Guo Zhan said.

To say that Guo Zhan is really interesting to the people below, especially those with real skills like Xia Ruofei and Ma Zheng, then he is also kind to them. What he despised the most were those soldiers who were not of good quality and lived all day long.

Of course, such soldiers basically do not exist in the Lone Wolf Commando.

The smile on Ma Zheng's face gradually faded, and he said sternly: "Captain, Ruo Fei, I'm not as conscious as everyone says... In fact, what I think is very simple, the special warfare major that I studied in the military academy, I didn't have it after graduation. How long has it been since I joined the Lone Wolf, I'm used to being the elite of the elite and the tip of the sharp knife! Let me go to the ordinary army... To be honest, I can't get used to it!"

Speaking of this, Ma Zheng picked up the cup in front of him, as if it was filled with mellow wine, and drank it with his head up.

Then he continued: "Since Lone Wolf doesn't need me anymore, why should I stay in the army? In another place, even if I wear the same military uniform, even if there is one more star on the qualification card, I will not will be happy!"

"As for what the leaders said about second-class heroes..." Ma Zheng said this with a self-deprecating smile, "Isn't it normal for our lone wolf soldiers to receive awards for meritorious service? Ruofei also made a second-class meritorious service after he was discharged from the army. What! Compared with those comrades who sacrificed, our meager credit is a p! How can I be shy with a second-class military medal on my face, to be a battalion commander in another army? "

Xia Ruofei, Guo Zhan and others couldn't help being moved when they heard the words.

Although Ma Zheng's words are very simple and do not have so many great truths, they are very touching, especially those who have similar experiences, have a very strong sense of identity in their hearts.

Guo Zhan sighed, stood up and walked over to Ma Zheng with a cup in his hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I'll give you a toast alone!"

"Thank you, Captain!" Ma Zheng quickly stood up and touched Guo Zhan with a cup. After the two drank it, they couldn't help laughing.

After Guo Zhan returned to his seat, he turned to Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, Ma Zheng he..."

"Captain, let me speak for myself!" Ma Zheng interrupted Guo Zhan's words.

Guo Zhan was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

Ma Zheng looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, I heard from the captain that your company needs talents with special skills in combat. If you don't dislike your brother's half-crippled leg, I plan to recommend it!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help widening his eyes and closed Guo Zhan in the afternoon. He said that he wanted to arrange for officers to work at his place. He was talking about Ma Zheng!

"Old company commander, you have to think carefully about this!" Xia Ruofei said, "I made a choice in this step, but I didn't regret taking the medicine. If you gave up the national resettlement work, it was equivalent to giving up your status as a cadre. Half a lifetime of peace!"

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "It's not as serious as you said. I just turned 18 years in the military this year. According to the policy during the reform period, deputy battalion officers can choose their own career after 18 years of age. Preferential treatment for these eliminations..."

Guo Zhan smiled and said: "If you choose your own career, you can at least receive retirement benefits every month after you go out. Although the money will be less, at least you won't starve to death. If it wasn't for this policy, I wouldn't agree with it. The bastard left! Of course, Ruo Fei didn't come at that time, but now it seems that this kid Ma Zheng chose his own career to help you, it's still a good choice!"

Xia Ruofei felt a little relieved when he heard the words, but at the same time he began to hesitate. Ma Zheng used to be his company commander, and now he is working under him. In this state of mind...

Ma Zheng seemed to see Xia Ruofei's thoughts, and said actively: "Ruofei, you don't have to worry, if I go to your side, I will definitely put my position right. I was your leader when I was in the army, but when I arrived Place, you are my boss, I can still tell the difference!"

Guo Zhan laughed and said: "If Fei, you don't have to worry about it! This phenomenon is normal. A few years ago, an old comrade of mine changed his career. He was a technical level 9 and had no administrative position. He was transferred to the Municipal Finance Bureau of his wife's hometown as a deputy. Chief clerk, it turned out that the deputy director of the Finance Bureau was a soldier he brought with him when he was a platoon leader many years ago. On the contrary, the chief became the deputy chief staff member of the bureau. Isn’t he still in the same mentality? In private, the deputy chief is very affectionate with the old platoon leader, but what should be done at work is still so.”

Xia Ruofei said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not worried about this. We are a private company, and the old company commander is a Qucai to go to my side... And this time, the people I recruited are going to work overseas, and it may be a long time. I can't go home..."

Ma Zheng said, "No problem! As long as you think my ability and quality meet the requirements..."

"That must not have been said!" Xia Ruofei said, "Can I still not know the military quality of the old company commander? Even if the explosive power decreases after the injury, it must be more than enough to cope with my work there!"

"Isn't that the end?" Ma Zheng said with a smile, "As for worries... My parents are gone, and my wife and I don't have children yet. If you can bring your family there, I will take her. Work together; if it doesn't work, it's okay, didn't we always live apart when we were in the army? We're all used to it!"

"It's no problem to bring family members!" Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "I have a lot of positions on the overseas island that need people. If I remember correctly, my sister-in-law should study meteorology?"

Ma Zheng said unexpectedly, "Do you remember this?"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "Who told you to show off every day at that time? My sister-in-law was still your girlfriend at that time! When she came to the company for the first time, you would introduce everyone to everyone, saying that you are your girlfriend, and you will be a meteorological expert in the future. !"

Ma Zhengsan smiled and said, "She was still in college at that time! Later, after graduating, she went to work at the meteorological observatory in her hometown. Do you know the concept of a county's meteorological observatory? The forecast results are the same in almost every place every time. It's such a big site in total! It's also divided into such and such towns, such and such townships, and such and such districts..."

After hearing this, everyone could imagine the picture, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xia Ruofei said: "The salary of the county meteorological station should not be high! Ask your sister-in-law to resign and come with you! I have a job there!"

Ma Zheng asked unexpectedly, "Do you even need a major in meteorology?"

"There is a small airport on the island, and I need someone specializing in meteorology! If my sister-in-law doesn't go, I will also recruit people from outside!" Xia Ruofei said, "That's it! Old company commander, you can call your sister-in-law now. , if she has any concerns, tell her that the monthly salary is 5,000 yuan! US dollars! This is just the salary level for the new employee, and it will be added in the future. In addition, you can help her pay for the other five insurances and one housing fund in China. Our Taoyuan Company employees are the same!"

"Ruofei, your salary is a bit high!" Guo Zhan said with a smile.

"Yeah! Ruo Fei, I have to say this, your sister-in-law must think I made a mistake and accept benefits in disguise!" Ma Zheng also said.

Five thousand US dollars is equivalent to more than 30,000 Huaxia coins. Some small businesses can earn such a small amount of money in a year. Ma Zheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard it.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "This is really not high. If you work in China, the standard may not be so high, but if you work overseas, there is a salary standard for overseas work! What's more, the island is in the South Pacific, isolated overseas, away from home. Thousands of miles away, there is still a lot of sacrifice to work there, and this can be considered a compensation!"

Then Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Old company commander, shouldn't you be worried that your income can't compare to your sister-in-law, and your family status will decline, right? There's no need for that. After you join the job, your salary will only be higher than your sister-in-law! Even if it's the economic foundation. You must be very tough when it comes to deciding your family status!"

After everyone listened, no matter whether they had a family or not, they couldn't help laughing, and the eyes of the officers who ate together also showed a look of anticipation.

After laughing, Guo Zhan said sternly: "Ruofei, I can absolutely trust you! That's why I handed over these excellent cadres to you... The few present today, except for Ma Zheng, are also facing editing. The rest of the questions, let me introduce to you..."

After he finished speaking, Guo Zhan pointed to the major next to him and said, "This is Liu Mingtian, the chief of the military department, because of his age, he has spared this time. Lao Liu also chose to choose his own career. I will talk to him in the afternoon. Now, he is also very interested in your position. Lao Liu is a good player in logistics, and his military literacy is not worse than that of a general army scout. He used to be an assault captain before! He should be able to help you by coming to your side!"
