"Old leader!" Seeing Mr. Wei come out of the conference room, Li Shiwei, who had been waiting in the corridor, hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh! Xiaowei, why don't you go home? Your aunt is still saying that I haven't seen you for a long time." Wei Zijun helped Li Shiwei tidy up his military uniform, which might be a little untidy due to his impatience.

"I just went. My aunt said that you are still busy at the division headquarters. I'm here right now. You should pay attention to rest! Look, your body is still as strong as before, but your hair is really whiter." Li Shiwei was very happy.

Respectfully, it seems that I am still the orderly soldier I used to be.

Wei Zijun also sighed: "Yes, the things to worry about in peacetime are not much less. No, today's meeting is to convey the instructions of the military region, and we must revoke some military areas and turn them into real administrative areas as soon as possible. It's a lot of pressure.

!”

The two of them walked all the way downstairs, and the divisional cadres at all levels who came out of the conference room together and the cadres at all levels attending the meeting took the initiative to follow behind.

Perhaps because of meeting Li Shiwei, Mr. Wei did not go back to the office as usual, but told his secretary that he would go home directly.

The secretary ran to the front to arrange a vehicle for him. Wei Zijun waved to the group of people behind him and signaled them to disperse. After watching each of the participating officers say goodbye and go away, Wei Zijun looked at Li Shiwei and said, "Come to the division headquarters in the middle of the night.

, aren’t you here to see the white hair on my head?”

Except for Wei Zijun and Li Shiwei at the gate, there were only secretaries and security guards not far away on the entire floor. Li Shiwei knelt down directly in front of Wei Zijun with a bang: "Old leader, save Xiao Hao!"

...

"Bastard!" Wei Zijun did not expect that Li Shiwei suddenly knelt down and pulled Li Shiwei up from his knees. After briefly listening to Li Shiwei's story, he was trembling with anger.

Instead of walking out of the gate, he took Li Shiwei to the office. Hearing Li Shiwei's report just now, his blood really surged. Of course, what he heard was that the villagers regarded the normal patrol inspection as a provocation, and then

This was magnified, causing a soldier to be kidnapped, and Li Hao had a "heavy responsibility" because he was the deputy captain leading the team.

"Do you really think that the Rafa Empire dare not take forced action against their Kona village? These unruly and unruly people should be punished." Wei Zijun calmed down his excitement a little when he heard that the soldiers were safe.

I sat down in the office chair and looked at a document on the desk. The main reason for holding today's meeting was because of this document, and I got an idea.

"Director Li", Wei Zijun did not call him Xiaowei, but directly called him Li Shiwei.

Li Shiwei, who was looking at Wei Zijun, was agitated and quickly stood up reflexively. He stood with his legs straight and replied: "Arrived."

…

Zhou Qiang locked himself in the office all night and did not return to the dormitory. He was not sure whether his choice was the right one. Even when Jin Weiguo knocked on the door later, he did not open it. He just said that he would think about it quietly and discuss it with him later.

He still didn't open the door until the camp's wake-up call sounded.

Jin Weiguo didn't knock on the door again. Even after the reveille call, he could hear the sound of the drill, and even the deputy captain's instructions seemed to be clearer than usual.

Similarly, Ye Tianmin and Zhou Qiang did not make any statement because of yesterday's incident. According to his injury, he did not take action. He sat alone on the bed in the military camp dormitory.

He was completely confused all night until dawn. After returning yesterday, the expected inquiries did not appear. He could only lie down in the infirmary to deal with the scratches on his buttocks. Deputy Captain Jin Weiguo came to see him.

Deputy Captain Jin asked, and Li Hao stood up first and immediately replied that an accident occurred during patrol, and Captain Zhou was already coordinating the handling. Jin Weiguo seemed to look at Li Hao meaningfully, and then asked.

Doctor Ye Tianmin checked the condition of his injury and told him not to do morning exercises tomorrow and have a good rest before preparing to leave.

Ye Tianmin still stopped Jin Weiguo before he left the house: "Deputy Captain."

Jin Weiguo turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Tianmin suddenly didn't know what to say. Jin Weiguo didn't say anything, just looked at Ye Tianmin and waited for him to say something. Li Hao immediately said: "Report to the deputy captain, the captain..."

Jin Weiguo's eyes widened: "Stand at attention! Turn back."

Li Hao had no choice but to stand at attention and turn backwards.

Ye Tianmin mustered up the courage, pushed away the hand of the medical soldier who was helping him treat the wound, put on his pants, got up from the hospital bed and raised his hand in salute: "Report to the deputy captain, while patrolling with deputy captain Li today, an accident happened.

, a villager in Kona Village accidentally slipped down the hillside. I was misunderstood by the villagers during a routine inspection, and then I was kidnapped to Kona Village."

"For what reason were you misunderstood by the villagers?"

"Because...because..."

"Report to the deputy captain, because the villagers did not understand our routine inspections, which led to misunderstandings." Li Hao was sweating profusely at this time. Although his back was turned, he quickly answered directly while Ye Tianmin was organizing his words.

"I reported it to the deputy captain because Li Hao acted uncivilized during the inspection. Then he ran to the side. The villagers thought it was me, so they misunderstood. Before I could explain, he was knocked unconscious and then kidnapped me.

"Although Ye Tianmin didn't have much experience in his previous life, he at least knew that if he didn't tell the leader when he asked, it would be difficult to tell him later.

"Routine inspection? Uncivilized behavior!" Jin Weiguo repeated it, looked at Li Hao and Ye Tianmin again, said nothing, and frowned: "You guys have a good rest today. After breakfast tomorrow, you two will go to the office and listen.

The brigade’s handling opinions.”

Jin Weiguo never believed that the misunderstanding was caused by some routine inspection. The uncivilized behavior Ye Tianmin said was normal. As for what this uncivilized behavior was about, this was not the time to ask specifically.

As the second military commander of the station, Zhou Qiang did not feel that he should let go just because he was the captain, but after returning from the whole incident, there were various signs that something big was going to happen.

In many cases, when something big happens to his deputy, there are only two possibilities: bad or worse! But no matter how you look at it, the whole incident is developing in a worse direction.

After coming out of the infirmary, he pushed the office door again, but it was still locked. The lights inside were on, indicating that Zhou Qiang was still in the room. As for what he was doing, Jin Weiguo wasn't sure.

This situation has never happened before. Logically speaking, Zhou Qiang should discuss it with him immediately after he comes back and talk about the specific situation. But the reality is that Zhou Qiang seems unwilling to talk to him about the specific situation and has no intention of talking to him.

discuss.

This confused him. When he returned to the dormitory, Jin Weiguo found that he suddenly became nervous. He finally managed to become the deputy captain. It can be said that only he himself understands the efforts and hardships he put in. He is not from a cadre family, and he relies entirely on

The most important thing is his military skills. If he had a little background, maybe he would have been corrected long ago.

Although the border garrison has more employment opportunities than ordinary army officers after they retire, if due to an accident, he, the deputy captain, quits or is transferred early, he will no longer have any future in the army. Therefore,

I have always been careful to avoid accidents.

But what happened today was beyond his control. Zhou Qiang's silence, Li Hao's fluent answers, and Ye Tianmin's injury all became his torment.

He desperately wanted to call Ye Tianmin over to ask carefully what was going on, but he had to consider Zhou Qiang's reaction and the father behind Li Hao who did not have a very high position but had a deep background.

Jin Weiguo called the team staying in Kona Village to inquire about the situation there, and also asked what happened after Zhou Qiang led the team there. The soldier could not tell him much information, except that he was in the house with the village chief.

After staying for a while, except for Ye Tianmin and Li Hao's equipment, I didn't know the specific status of the others.

When Captain Zhou Qiang came back, he did not communicate with himself as usual, making it difficult for him to set a basic tone when facing the soldiers. The two of them had been cooperating for a long time. This was the first time that such a situation had occurred. This was so cold.

That night, he suddenly felt that Zhou Qiang and him had become strangers...

He was still thinking from the perspective of a soldier, and Zhou Qiang was probably planning how to deal with it.

On the other side, Zhou Qiang, who has been sitting in the office since he came back, seemed to have aged several years overnight.

He didn't know why he was suffering. In fact, it was obvious that although there would be some uncertain factors when dealing with Kona Village, based on his experience over the years, it was possible to suppress the situation without gentle treatment, and there would be no

What a difficulty.

Internal processing is even simpler. According to the army's management regulations, it is not difficult for the grassroots garrison to issue a report. No matter from which perspective, after a report, it will not have any impact on him under normal circumstances.

How big will it be.

However, the information revealed in Li Shiwei's phone call clearly indicated that he was aware of the incident, but did not clearly tell him how to deal with it.

The sky was getting slightly brighter, and the quiet camp began to make noises.

The footsteps of the soldiers told him that they had all gone to the canteen to have breakfast after the normal morning exercises, and the camp suddenly became quiet again.

The silence made him suddenly feel palpitated like never before, and even his own breathing seemed to come from outside.

Suddenly, a knock on the door brought him back to reality. He forced himself to calm down and heard clearly that the call from outside the door was that of deputy captain Jin Weiguo. He wiped his stiff face and walked to the door to open it.

He opened the door, let Jin Weiguo in, and quickly closed it.

"Old Zhou, are you okay?" Jin Weiguo didn't ask about Ye Tianmin and Li Hao right away. Seeing Zhou Qiang's reaction, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Zhou Qiang also braced himself and said, "It's okay, I just didn't get enough rest."

There was a moment of silence. Facing the cigarette Jin Weiguo handed him, he hesitated for a moment, then took it and lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Looking at Jin Weiguo's questioning look, Zhou Qiang organized his words and tried to resolve it with a normal voice.

"Wei Guo, what do you think of Li Hao and Ye Tianmin's performance in our team?"

"Old Zhou, what performance are you referring to?" Jin Weiguo was not stupid and asked back in one sentence.

Zhou Qiang didn't answer. He just held the cigarette in one hand and rubbed his thigh unnaturally with the other. He squeezed it hard and continued rubbing his thigh.

"We have been partners for a long time, and our cooperation has been very smooth. I will say some things directly. The matter between Li Hao and Ye Tianmin yesterday was not easy to handle. According to the regulations, we will be very passive. According to the accident, I will find

There is no suitable method." Zhou Qiang said in a low voice.

Jin Weiguo looked at Zhou Qiang: "What is the specific situation? Yesterday when you came back, I asked Li Hao and Ye Tianmin about it in the infirmary, but I didn't know the specific matter. Let them both go back to rest temporarily, and come back to the office after breakfast today.

I guess we should arrive in a while.”

Zhou Qiang paused and told Jin Weiguo the whole thing carefully. It was impossible not to tell his deputy all the time. The two people had similar backgrounds and had worked together in border defense for a long time. What if he kept hiding it?

It’s all unjustifiable.

After objectively speaking based on the respective accounts of Li Hao and Ye Tianmin, they also mentioned the unexpected response from Kona Village to the incident and the group leader's phone call, but did not mention the content of his call to Li Shiwei. He only said that Li Shiwei might come to the camp.

It stands to reason that he should report to the group and propose basic solutions within today, but the call between the group leader and Li Shiwei put him in a very embarrassing situation.

The handling of this matter, from his point of view or from the point of view of the brigade, needs to be cautious and cautious. Kona Village's request is reasonable, but it is not enforceable. This is the most difficult thing, and in the end it is an insistence on science and technology.

It is difficult to determine directly whether it should be handled based on the cognition of the villagers in Na Village or based on the results of the dialogue between two people.

Because Li Hao refused to admit that he had made obscene actions and behaviors, and there were only two people at the scene, Li Hao and Ye Tianmin.

In front of Jin Weiguo, he also said bluntly that Li Shiwei could not be considered at all. According to the villagers' perception, it was actually the simplest solution. However, for Ye Tianmin, this lacked the true temperament that the army should have.
