Zhao Lin and instructor Gao Baoxin were sent to the vacant hut after the group leader asked him to report the Xia sunset incident.That hut was clean and elegant. It was originally used as a library for the battalion headquarters, but later the company commander and instructors were shut down. The thing was that after lunch, the team leader said Zhao Lin, come here, and led him to that hut like leading a sheep.The hut is very sunny, with only one small window and a curtain.There are two chairs and an empty bookshelf in the room.The head of the group entered the room and locked the door, turned on the light, sat on a chair, and said that you should sit too, and Zhao Lin sat down.

"Is what you told me true?" "Head, you don't even trust me, Zhao Lin?" "Tell me the details." Zhao Lin was silent for a while, as if describing a daily incident, he said that Xia Luo was an extremely introverted person, and the soldiers I took over had been to his house.His father is an elementary school teacher, and his mother is a sanitation worker. He got up at four o'clock every morning to sweep the road for thirty-eight years.He has three brothers and one sister.My sister is married, one brother works as a construction worker, and the two brothers are unemployed and self-employed selling odds and ends.Xia Sunset was not admitted to the university, but went to the army to seek a future, such as taking the exam to get a job in the party or something.However, there are new regulations in the exam. Candidates must be the backbone of the company, like the squad leader and deputy squad leader, but he failed in target shooting, and the queue was not good.I couldn't understand that such a smart and agile soldier, who enlisted from the provincial capital, would not be able to form a line with three points, and ten bullets would not be enough to hit thirty rings.He asked me to go to the cooking class. I swear to your head of this point.If he couldn't be a backbone, he gave up the idea of ​​taking the exam.Naturally, urban soldiers join the party in the army, and it will be easy to arrange when they go back to work.Needless to say, if you want to join the party, you must first join the group. He wrote an application for joining the group, which was handed in by the instructor through the cooking squad leader.The work of the regiment members of other companies is managed by the platoon leader.Our third company is managed by the instructor himself.The instructor is right. Party members and league members should focus on developing the top trainers in the platoon to promote the military training of the company. So last week, a group of three regiment members were developed, and there was no summer sunset.Xia Luo was the only soldier in his group who hadn't joined the regiment. Needless to say, it was because he couldn't think about it for a while, thinking that his future was hopeless, and the instructor was busy with work, and felt that joining the regiment was not as good as joining the party. He didn't talk to him in time, so he stole The gun killed itself.

The head of the group took a tea cup and slowly turned it in his hand. "Are you responsible?" "Of course. I am the company commander, and I cannot shirk my responsibility." "What responsibility?" "The instructor is busy, I should also find time to talk to Xia Luo." "anything else?" "Focus on military training and neglect administrative management. There is no steel bar installed in the gun storage. I told the logistics three times, but they didn't come to install it, and I didn't press it again." "Who did you tell?"

"Assistant Zhang from the barracks unit." "Is Assistant Zhang still there?" "I changed jobs at the beginning of the year, you know." "When did you tell Assistant Zhang?" "Before he changed jobs." "Why didn't you tell the logistics after he changed jobs?" "That's my lesson. I thought Assistant Zhang would hand over the unfinished work when he changed jobs. Who knew he was so irresponsible." The cup in the leader's hand stopped spinning. "Zhao Lin, do you know how much your three consecutive deaths will affect the work of the whole regiment?!"

"I know, the regiment cannot be rated as an advanced regiment within three years." The head of the regiment said that the political commissar is the oldest regiment political commissar in the division, and the army just wanted to propose him as the director of the division's political department to take over the post of deputy division, but now it's all over.The political commissar has worked hard for fourteen years for this deputy division in the regiment.Fourteen years is as long as your military years!When the political commissar heard that Sanlian had died, he was so angry that he burst into tears. The first thing he said when he saw me was, Commander, I should step down and give up my position to someone else...

Zhao Lin bowed his head and didn't speak. He suddenly woke up. Xia Luo's death not only involved him and the instructor, but also the battalion commander's instructor, regiment leader and political commissar.Thinking of Xia Li, Xia Xia, how can the big guy feel sorry for you?Is there anything you can't think about that is worth dying for?Tilting his head, Zhao Lin saw a black ant at his feet, biting a piece of white paper and crawling quickly.Turning his eyes to the ant, he suddenly wondered, such a small ant can pull such a big piece of paper, where does the strength come from?The head of the group circled around the room, as if he was undecided about some idea, and his steps were slow and light.He turned to the window, opened the curtains and looked out, the sunlight shot over immediately, crystal clear, like a piece of bright glass illuminated by light.The sound of ants dragging paper is very monotonous and crisp in this daylight.

The captain closed the curtain and turned around. "Zhao Lin, what are you going to do?" Zhao Lin raised his head. "Regimental Commander, I am your soldier. In 1979, I was in the same trench with you for another six months. What do you think I should do?" The head of the group threw the teacup halfway and put it on the window sill. "I'll let you make a resignation report and ask for a job change!" Zhao Lin's shoulders trembled, and he turned his gaze to the head's face.The head of the regiment's face was pale and hard, like a cold stone slab. There was a burst of air-conditioning from the slate, and the hut suddenly became cold.It can be seen that the head of the group has made up his mind and cannot be changed.Zhao Linxian still felt that the head of the regiment was still warm and warm, but now he knew that the head of the regiment was exhausted, which made him suddenly feel that the road had come to an end, and there was an iceberg in front of him, and there was no way to go.He stared at the head of the group sadly and coldly, staring at the head of the group cautiously and timidly and asked:

"Who will I hand over to when I go three times?" "Three companies are disbanded." "Disband?" "Disbanded. There is a document recently. Some regiments have been adjusted. Each infantry battalion will transfer a company to form an artillery battalion. You will transfer three companies to your battalion." "Is it a whole series of transfers, and the number of the establishment remains the same?" "The type of troops has changed, what is the number, all companies and platoons are disbanded, and the squads are reorganized." "That is to say, the first battalion and the third company are gone?"

"Never." "What about the instructor?" "I want to change jobs and let him go, but I don't want to go to the new camp for testing." "What job do you give him?" "Why are you asking this?!" Zhao Lin felt that the question had slipped, and he was taken aback. He suddenly remembered that the cooking squad leader knelt down in front of him last night, and he seemed to be slipping off the stool.Leng Dinger knelt down in front of the leader.However, when he knelt down, he suddenly regretted it. After all, he was the commander of the company, with fourteen years of military service, and he was disgusted by the regiment commander and looked down upon by the regiment commander when he knelt down.For a moment, he wanted to stand up from the ground and stand upright in front of the regiment leader.But at that moment, his knees hit the ground like hard wood.The cement floor was cold and hard, with a dull and wooden sound.Too late, already kneeling down.Now that you kneel, let's humiliate to the end.Everyone has compassion.In the southern front war more than ten years ago, the first criticizes him for not being included in the second-class military exploits. The company commander reads a letter from his family saying that his mother does not eat day and night in the hospital bed, so he mobilizes a group of deputy commanders for military merits. Give it to him.The company commander said that this crime indicator is for you.He said it was not good.The company commander said that the deputy father of the first class is the secretary of the commune, and he will have a job and food when he returns home from the army.You will have food to eat for a lifetime.He said that the deputy of the first class has no objection?The company commander said that the first deputy wanted to retire after the war.Later, when he was promoted, he really relied on the meritorious deeds given by the first class deputy, and the first class deputy also made meritorious service because of his meritorious deeds, so he was also promoted and transferred to the agency.Right now, the first deputy is his political partner Gao Baoxin.The company commander is his regiment leader, the leader of the special case team, he must have knelt down as the commander, he would understand.Zhao Lin looked at the head of the regiment like the cooking squad leader knelt down to look at him last night, and said, head, I beg you not to disband the third company. If the third company hadn't been for Xia Luoxi's death, nothing would be worse than the first, second, and fourth companies.You really made up your mind to disband the third company, you keep me, give me a big demerit, and let me take the crime to the artillery camp.I have been an artilleryman, and within three years I will build you a good battery.Zhao Lin spoke these words fluently, as if he knew the text by heart, before the leader woke up from his knees, he finished speaking in a hurry, staring at the leader's face sadly.

The head of the group shouted that you have something to stand up and say! He said I don't know how to make you believe me. The captain said that you will not be able to bring out another good company... He said that I had nothing to say when you dealt with my job change. The head of the regiment said that you had been in the army for more than fifteen years at that time, and your family members and children could join the army. There was a chill in his heart, he hooked his head down and remained silent.The ant was still crawling while pulling the piece of paper, and finally crawled to his knee, and seemed to be going towards his lap.He felt ants crawling on his tight knee pants, and his knees were sore.He twisted his knee to the ground hard, and the itch stopped.The ant was screwed to death by him.

The team leader's refusal to change jobs is not only a serious mistake, but human life is at stake. He said that it would be okay to demote another post. The head of the regiment said that you will be demoted to a deputy company, how can you bring out a good company for me? He said you let me take the vice belt. The head of the group said that the countryside is no longer what it used to be, so why are you desperate for your wife and children's household registration? He said that I am not a farmer and I don’t know what farmers think. I dream of getting my wife and children’s household registration. The leader said you get up. He said you promised me not to change my job? The team leader said that the investigation into the cause of Xia Luo's death will be clear. So he stood up and patted the ashes on his knees.Dead ants stuck to his dusting fingers.He flicked the ants off his fingers, and stood in front of the regimental leader as if he was being interrogated. The head of the group picked up the tea cup and prepared to leave. "Xia Luo's cause of death is really what you said?" "It really is." "To be honest, is your branch united or not?" "The party branch has a unified opinion on what to do." "Zhao Lin", the head of the group suddenly raised his voice, "How is your relationship with the instructor?", "very good." "I want you to tell me the truth." "There has never been a contradiction in principle." You can do it, commander of the third company, the regimental commander came over and opened the door, and stood at the door of the house, you have learned to be an official after all.If there is no conflict, the two of you will live in the same room. When you agree on the cause of Xia Luo's death, and agree with each other, then go to the battalion and regiment party committees to conduct a review.Saying so, the head led the door and went out.The light that flooded in when the door was opened disappeared immediately.Zhao Lin didn't understand what the regimental commander said for a moment, he was stunned for a while, and wanted to open the door and go out. Unexpectedly, the battalion commander brought two soldiers and carried two simple wire beds into the house, saying, "Old Zhao, if you die, your life is at stake." God, think about it.The group leader asked you and the instructor to stay here for a few days.After speaking, two more soldiers carried his and the instructor's bedding into the room, followed by the instructor and the instructor. That's it.Zhao Lin and the instructor were put in a temporary confinement room.
