Chapter 3 (13)

  This move is ruthless. In plain sight, a higher-up hit a series of instructors, and it was you, Little Black, who led the way. Now that the bell has been rung, someone needs to unring it, and that someone should be you.

  A bit of a mental knot that can't be untied, after working hard in the army for several years, among fellow villagers who came together, some were awarded third-class merits, some were evaluated as excellent officers, and at worst, they should join the party to get some political capital. A little higher up, nothing was gained, but instead, he was disciplined near the time of his discharge from the army, if he could think it through, his brain would be stuck in the door.

  When there are people in the troops who don't understand, it's necessary to exert the power of political ideological work. This is a strong point for every company's political instructor, requiring them to unfold their silver tongues and have the skill of "blarney". They can make the dead speak, turn the living into immortals, and turn immortals into the Jade Emperor. The goal is only one: to let the person in question untie their ideological knots, feel comfortable and relieved in their heart, and then listen to orders and obey arrangements.

  According to the superior's requirements, all cadres responsible for contracting retired veterans must go down to the company and platoon level. In the few days when the veteran retires, they will eat and live with the contracted objects together.

  That night, Xiao Hei took his backpack to the room where Gao Yidian was and went in. Without even greeting Gao Yidian, he spread out his bedding, covered his head and fell fast asleep.

  He had been monitored by the squad for several days and his freedom was completely restricted. At this time, he saw Xiaohai coming in and looking at the door again, only to find that the old soldier who was monitoring him in the corridor was gone. For a moment, he didn't understand what was going on, so he came in and said to Xiaohai: "Squad leader, aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

  Xiao Hei poked his head out from under the quilt and said: "My feet are on you, it's up to you, at worst I'll just get another demerit."

  Kicked the bed with his foot in anger and said: "How could it be you, the person sent by the instructor? It's really disappointing."

  "What? You think it's not fun? I think this is the most brilliant thing the leader has done so far, letting a more annoying officer do ideological work on an even more annoying soldier, and this annoying officer just happens to be bad at doing ideological work. Isn't that hilarious?"

  "Do you think it's fun?"

  Xiao Hei said: "Whether it's fun or not, it's possible that you and I are the last act of Erlian's singing. Now you're the protagonist, sing whatever you want."

  He stared at Xiao Hei for a while before asking, "So, you really want to leave the Second Platoon?"

  "It's not that I want to leave, just like you don't want to leave the team, it's not something we can decide for ourselves."

  "Commander Lian, I'm sorry. You're the greatest hero of our unit and your future was boundless. It's all my fault that..." His voice choked with emotion as he spoke further.

  Xiao Hei gazed at Gao Yi with a cold eye, "Are you so great? Would I sacrifice my own future for you? Have you ever seen such a foolish bird? What's the use of being a first-class meritorious official? Isn't it just the same as being a dead old second in someone else's eyes? Maybe in a few more days, I won't even have the qualifications to be a dead old second."

  His eyes suddenly welled up with tears, "Lian Chang, don't say anything else, you know? This place, the Wild Wolf Battalion, I didn't even want to stay for a day in the past... Now, I want to stay and learn leg techniques from you. You promised us that when the time comes, you'll teach us how to use this move to knock out those sons of bitches. If I leave like this, what's the point? My classmates back home think I'm just a 'dead old B', but actually, it's 'dead old two'. I've been a soldier for five years and ended up as a 'dead old two'... Tell me, isn't that failure?"

  Squatting on the ground a little higher, suddenly wailing loudly and crying.

  Xiao Hei got out of bed, patted the slightly taller shoulder, "A person who is unwilling to be a 'dead second' in his heart will never be a 'dead second'. At least we have captured the Blue Army Commander and Deputy Commander together, and let others taste the feeling of being a 'dead second'."

  "This is the most accomplished thing I've done in my five years as a soldier. Just thinking about the Chief of Staff's expression at that time makes me laugh, and even more ridiculous is Deputy Chief of Staff Old Xu, who was pinned to the ground by him, and he still said, 'You guys be gentle, don't mess up those few strands of hair on my head.'"
