?“ What? Let me be the deputy head of the regiment? No, no, no, resolutely! What should I be the deputy head of the regiment as a disabled person. Lao Li, don't be kidding. ”

Li Hangpeng waved his hands wildly and said, his attitude was resolute.

"Lao Li, look at me like this. It's been thirteen years since I left the fighting army, thirteen years. Look at me, look at my state. Li Hangpeng said excitedly.

The years are the most ruthless, and it is the body that wears away. Thirty-nine-year-old Li Hangpeng no longer has the spirit he had back then, and if there is no accident, he will change jobs and return to the local government next year. The lieutenant colonel's deputy regiment commander worked for ten years, a whole ten years. In fact, if he hadn't been a first-class meritorious hero commended by the Supreme Command, he would not have been in this position for so long.

His superiors had already talked to him, and if he wanted to, he could be arranged to work in a cadre rest house or a sanatorium after changing jobs, and of course he would not be an active soldier. As a matter of fact, the meaning of this decision by the higher-level leadership organ is very clear, and the troops will support him for the rest of his life.

Li Hangpeng also wants to do something, go back to the local area to do something, and prove his worth.

But he never thought of returning to the post of operational commander to prove his worth. For him, from the day he left the front line, he no longer dared to hope to return to the front line of operations, let alone a command post.

An officer who has been out of the combat unit for 13 years, why did Li Mu choose him? Is it really because there is no one to choose from?

Apparently not.

Li Mu had already checked the people on the farm, especially Li Hangpeng and Old Squad Leader Liu. Old squad leader Liu doesn't have to think about it, even if old squad leader Liu himself is willing, the higher-level leadership organs will not let him go. Why has Victory Farm been retained in the years of disarmament reform, and why has Victory Farm been able to turn over so much profit every year?

Just one person, Liu Lao's squad leader.

Old squad leader Liu is the thickest and most reliable pillar of Victory Farm.

The number of first-class sergeant majors in the joint logistics department of the military region may be the largest, and the number may be comparable to that of the equipment department of the military region, but even if it is the most, whoever becomes the leader will definitely not let go of a first-class sergeant major. There are more than 2 million troops in the whole army, how many first-class sergeant majors are there?

Therefore, Li Mu didn't dare to fight the idea of the old squad leader Liu.

But Li Hangpeng, he started to think.

Li Hangpeng is not simple.

He once served in a mountain brigade in West Z, and his experience was similar to Li Mu's, and he was also from a small soldier to a non-commissioned officer, and then promoted to work. He is a veteran combatant who has participated in many armed struggles and has undergone systematic academy training. If it weren't for his disability, he would most likely have moved on to a higher leadership position.

The point is that Victory Farm is almost in the corner of oblivion, but nothing has happened in all these years of violating military discipline. Even if they are engaged in a very boring job that is not good in the eyes of many people, the soldiers here still maintain a high level of enthusiasm for their work.

In the final analysis, the reason lies in Li Hangpeng, who has a good head.

What Li Mu likes is Li Hangpeng's indelible fighting spirit and his rich management experience. Sometimes, managing tens of thousands of pigs, thousands of cattle and sheep is not easier than managing a regiment or even a division's combat troops.

expected Li Hangpeng to object, but Li Mu didn't expect his attitude to be so resolute.

Li Mu said, "Pengtou, you listen to me talk about three points, I'm done, you think about it again, and then decide, okay?"

Li Hangpeng said, "You say." ”

"The first point. Li Mu crossed his fingers and said, "If you can't join the main regiment, you will have to change jobs next year, right? Do you really want to leave the army in your heart? I don't believe it." Follow me to the Northwest is an opportunity for you. I can assure you that next year you will be in the Colonel Corps, and you will be my deputy. ”

Seeing that Li Hangpeng was about to speak, Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." On the second point, I'm really unavailable. You know, my subordinates are all in the 107th Regiment, and as you know, the leaders of the military region have made it clear that I can't take any of the people from the 107th Regiment with me. Brought to the Northwest as my deputy, I thought about it, there is no one more suitable than you. Besides, this is about a Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is still a question whether other people have the courage to break with me, but you Li Hangpeng is a person who has seen blood, you must have this guts!"

Li Hangpeng smiled bitterly and said, "I said Lao Li, don't put a high hat on me, those are old things, how many years." ”

"You haven't forgotten it for years. You still insist on physical training every day, and the farm is under your management, and there is no slackness at all. Doesn't this just prove that you still yearn for a force under your command that dares to fight and win. ”

Li Mu paused, looked at Li Hangpeng, his voice became a little deep, and he said, "The third point." Friends, the matter between you and Xiaoju. It stands to reason that this is your private life, and if a man is not married or a woman is not married, I should not talk too much. However, friends, Xiaoju is not a simple woman, she will cause a lot of trouble sooner or later. If you're not an active-duty officer, there's no problem, but you are. ”

Slightly stunned, Li Hangpeng looked at Li Mu's sincere expression and fell into deep thought.

"I can totally understand it, and I can see that you have deep feelings for her. But...... How to say it, this woman can't be real, and she can't play for long. You should know what I mean. Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Get out of here and forget about her." ”

Li Hangpeng fell into deep thought.

Each of the three points put forward by Li Mu hit the most important point for him.

Are you really willing to leave the army, unwillingly, if you want to leave, you will resolutely leave as early as after being injured that year, and you will definitely not continue to stay with a crippled body.

Don't you want to go up, think, of course, who doesn't have the ambition to make a career in his heart. I was disabled and strong, persevered for thirteen years, and stayed on the farm for ten years, but the dream in my heart became clearer and clearer.

And women, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and they are in such a boring state of life. Li Hangpeng doesn't know the danger here, he knows, but it is also difficult for him to ruthlessly cut off his relationship with her in the current form of life and work.

Li Mu handed Li Hangpeng a cigarette, lit it for him, and said, "Pengtou, the situation of the 701st regiment is very serious, and the head of the headquarters only gave me a month. Whether or not we can get this group up in a month will determine whether you and I will stay or not. It's a big deal for you to come back to the farm, and it doesn't make much of a difference to you. Or you can think like this, why not give it a try?"

"A month?" Li Hangpeng frowned.

Li Mu nodded slowly, "From the day I took office, the military order is like a mountain, and there is no room for bargaining." ”

After smacking his eyes twice, Li Hangpeng finally made up his mind, "Okay, since you can afford me as a disabled person, Lao Tzu will go out and accompany you!"

Li Mu grinned and patted Li Hangpeng's shoulder heavily.
