Chapter 595: Three Generations of the Army
The students of the experimental class and the grassroots commanders of the motorized infantry brigade were like mirrors, maybe Li Mu's words seemed to pierce their ears and even surprised in the ears of some people who didn't know much about the situation, but they seemed ordinary to them, and they were surprised that Li Mu dared to say it on such an occasion.

On the Internet, military enthusiasts often compare the Chinese Army with the US Army, some say that they are at least 20 years behind the US Army, and some say that they are inferior.
In fact, this comparison is very unreliable and general.
It is not easy to quantify the comparison.
If the Chinese Army fights the U.S. Army, it will be the Chinese Army that will win in the end.
The reason is very simple, the horizontal is afraid of the crazy, and the crazy is afraid of dying.
From the point of view of scientific development, the main gap in the Chinese Army is reflected in the armament, to be precise, in the hardware except for the soldiers. When it comes to tactical data links alone, the U.S. Army is far ahead.
Therefore, when Li Mu talked about this issue, he did not talk about the fighting spirit of the soldiers, but only talked about weapons and equipment. No one knows better than him, a newly promoted officer who has mixed up from the lowest level of small soldiers, that Chinese soldiers are the kind of soldiers who go crazy and fight themselves.
Isn't there a saying that man's biggest enemy is himself, and those who even fight themselves are in fact invincible.
However, more and more grassroots cadres, including Li Mu, deeply feel that with the advancement of social and economic development, the armed forces will inevitably be affected. First and foremost is values. This is a very dangerous trend, and we must know that the invincibility of our army lies fundamentally in its absolute loyalty to the party and its firm ideals and convictions.
Therefore, Li Mu has concerns about not talking about the supporting construction in terms of politics and ideology.
Over the past few years, the political and ideological education of the troops has been carried out in a very good way, but in fact the results have not been very good.
Li Mu also vaguely felt that this situation would not continue, and that there were already signs of change, and perhaps as soon as the new supreme commander came up, the mental outlook of the troops would change dramatically, and it would once again return to the refreshing state it had at the beginning.
Back on the motorized infantry side, the first day of the expedition ended after a heated discussion. The students of the Lu Academy were arranged to live in a guest house, and according to the group when they were in the Lu Yuan, two people lived in a double room.
It was already half past ten, Zhao Xu was obviously not sleepy, made two cups of tea, took a pack of cigarettes, and pulled Li Mu over to set up a dragon gate formation. Li Mu also wanted to have a good chat with the deputy battalion commander of the command department who was born in an authentic class, after all, in terms of experience in leading troops, Li Mu was not as good as others.
"Lao Li, I know that you kid is not an ordinary person, sooner or later you will have to surprise those people with high eyes. Zhao Xu said with a smile, and Lao Li's shouting became more and more natural, but it seemed very suitable for a twenty-three-year-old lieutenant.
From Xiao Li to Lao Li, it shows the change in Zhao Xu's view of Li Mu.
"I'm ashamed, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be ignorant, let alone brilliant. Zhao Xu said sincerely, because of Li Mu's help, he successfully left an impression in front of the head of the military region, and he wrote down this favor.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Old Zhao, don't see me." Besides, after graduation, I will definitely go down to the army to lead the troops, and I have to learn from you how to lead the troops. ”
His brows jumped slightly, Zhao Xu thought to himself, Li Mu, this kid has a mysterious background, and it has always been inconvenient to ask him about his situation, isn't it just an opportunity now?
After thinking about it, he followed Li Mu's words and said, "That's it, you used to be a platoon commander, let's put it this way, after graduation, you must first be a deputy company for a period of time, and then a company commander." You treat three platoons as if they were three squads. The main thing is to seize the squad and platoon commanders, and if they are brought well, the company will naturally be brought well. ”
Li Mu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I won't tell you, I've been the acting platoon commander for a few months." My previous platoon had no platoon commander for a long time, and the soldiers in the platoon had always been in a state of shortage. The platoon commander has never been a serious one. ”
"That's weird. Zhao Xu frowned and pointed to the camouflage uniform on Li Mu's body, "You are a cadre who has been promoted, it stands to reason that you will go to the Lu Academy to study for two years when you are promoted, and when you go back, you will be the platoon commander of the Eight Classics." ”
Li Mu said with a smile, "I was transferred as a non-commissioned officer at the beginning of the year, and I was promoted in the middle of the year, and I just carried out the task, and I never had time to go to the military academy. ”
Suddenly, Zhao Xu seemed to realize something, and seeing Li Mu's faintly smiling face, he knew that he had almost made a mistake, so he quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Lao Li, I won't ask, hehe, your brother is not an ordinary person, and if I continue to ask, I will make a mistake." ”
Li Mu just laughed and didn't say anything.
Zhao Xu is not a big soldier with no eyesight, Li Mu's simple sentence "transferred to a non-commissioned officer at the beginning of the year and promoted in the middle of the year" illustrates the problem.
This kind of very abnormal and even inconceivable change in promotion can only occur in two kinds of people, one is a unit that is kept secret even in the military, and the other is a person who has made major meritorious contributions. No matter which kind Li Mu belongs to, it is not something that an ordinary officer like Zhao Xu can inquire about.
Li Mu's other meaning is very clear, that is, after graduation, he will be transferred to the ordinary army to lead the troops, so there is such a problem.
"So, your brother is going to stay in the Lu Courtyard for a while. Zhao Xu changed the subject, "At least three years." ”
Nodding, Li Mu said, "It's exactly three years." ”
After pondering for a while, Zhao Xu said, "Brother, we have a relationship, and I will say some things clearly." I know you're probably from the Special Forces, which aren't quite the same as the Regular Forces. In special forces, everything is different in ordinary troops, especially those of us grassroots commanders. ”
After a pause, Zhao Xu said, "Let's put it this way, our grassroots cadres are about the same as local small civil servants, and if you count them, you can count them as section-level cadres." Leading a good company does not mean that you can get the appreciation of the leader, your brother is a smart person, you should understand what I mean. ”
Li Mu nodded slowly, "I understand, the officialdom environment has always been like this, and I have to study hard in terms of dealing with people." ”
"Take your time and adjust your mindset. Zhao Xu said slowly, "To tell the truth, if you still behave like this in the experimental class when you arrive in the army, it will definitely not work." If the low profile is excessive, it lacks subjective initiative, and cadres who strive for progress are good cadres. ”
Li Mu's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly understood that Zhao Xu really regarded himself as a brother before saying this, and suddenly he said, "Old Zhao, I understand." You've got a lot of experience. ”
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said with a slightly wry smile, "My family has been in the army for three generations, and at present, I am the most unproductive." I also heard and saw it, so I barely managed to gain a firm foothold, and I didn't lose my family, and I was promoted to major ahead of schedule. ”
"It turns out that you are still the third generation of red. ”
"The three generations of the red fart, it's just that the three generations of the old Zhao family have handed over their lives to our party and our army. (To be continued.) )
