Even Zhang Erxiao and Xiao Jiang have beco reserve officers, Han Xiangning couldn’t sit still anymore and strongly requested to serve in the reserves, and her reasons were very sound.
First of all, if last year’s typhoon and flood disaster were to happen again, even if the superior really dispatches the Linghai Reserve Camp to carry out the rescue mission, not all the reserve officers and soldiers in the camp would go, soone has to stay behind.
In other words, serving in the reserves wouldn’t affect her main job.
Moreover, the camp area is so close to the Port Supervision Departnt, and most officers and soldiers have main jobs, so when not in training or on a mission, there are few people in the camp headquarters. If a superior cos to inspect, she can easily go to the camp to help with reception or even give a briefing.
Han Yu felt there was a certain logic to it, and considering there were already so many brothers and sisters "joining the army", adding one more senior sister wouldn’t hurt.
As for whether people might say the reserve camp has beco the "Han Family Army" in the future, just let them talk. After all, the superior only gave a designation and nothing else, so being able to muster enough people with so combat capability is quite good, and one shouldn’t have too high expectations.
Anyone dissatisfied, let them take the role of camp commander.
Han Xiangning was very happy to get what she wanted and imdiately called Han Xiangng to tell her that she too is now a reserve officer, and like her sister, a lieutenant!
Since the camp area wasn’t built yet, the first eting of proposed officers above the deputy company level could only be held in the sixth-floor eting room of the Port Supervision Departnt, just like the joint military-civil construction signing ceremony.
Han Yu chaired the eting, asking the camp headquarters secretary to first introduce the financial usage status, then asked Old Liu, the administrator, to report that the superior couldn’t solve the equipnt issue. Considering the camp’s tight budget, for now, all officers and soldiers could only be issued with two sets of camouflage suits.
What’s so special about camouflage suits, after all, they can be bought at labor protection stalls in wholesale markets.
Not only Zhang Erxiao and Xiao Jiang were disappointed, but even Xiao Yu, Ma Jintao, and others were let down. They wanted to wear not camouflage suits but brimd caps and spring-autumn uniforms.
"Comrades, the difficulties are only temporary, when the funds are available in the future, we will then procure and issue them."
Han Yu understood everyone’s feelings, after all, when he promised Deputy Mayor Shen to form the reserve camp, the first thing that ca to mind was wearing full military attire.
Liu Degui felt that so things had to be clarified. Seeing Yang Jianbo hesitating and inconvenienced to speak, he simply knocked on the table and said, "Comrades, being a reserve officer is not just an honor but a responsibility! I don’t care about the motives each of you had for accepting the call-up, but having joined the reserves, you need to hold yourself to the standards of a reserve officer.
The conditions now are tough, but are they tougher than those faced by the revolutionary martyrs? The reserves are an important part of the People’s Liberation Army of China, and you should know the PLA developed from bare essentials. Moreover, the camp commander has stated clearly, the difficulties are only temporary!"
Xiao Yu understood these principles, but without military attire, what kind of reserve officers are they?
He couldn’t help but raise his hand and cautiously asked, "Salted Fish, Uncle Liu, since the superior doesn’t provide it, and the camp’s funds are tight, can we buy it ourselves?"
"Yes, we can buy them ourselves!" Zhang Erxiao strongly agreed and raised his hand as well.
Wu Heng and others who were there for the military uniforms saw Xiao Yu and Zhang Erxiao leading the way, and one after another seed eager to try.
Han Yu’s expression turned stern as he coldly asked, "You have money, does having money an you can have special treatnt?"
"Salted Fish, I didn’t an it like that..."
"Then what do you an?"
Han Yu asked back, knocking on the table as he said, "Everyone attending this eting is a deputy company officer or above, isn’t it just a brimd cap and a set of regular clothing? I know you all can afford it. But have you thought about it, we have not only these reserve officers in our camp but also more than two hundred soldiers. If we wear neatly pressed regular clothing and let the soldiers wear camouflage, what will the soldiers think?"
Xiao Yu wanted to suggest seeking sponsorship for so funds, but the words didn’t co out of his mouth, afraid that Salted Fish would go find Yu Zhen.
Zhang Erxiao saw that President Hao, Xu Mingyuan, and Boss Wang from Changyu Shipbuilding Factory remained silent and realized he shouldn’t be the one sticking his neck out, quickly saying, "Brother Salted Fish, we were wrong, consider it unsaid."
"A good comrade corrects mistakes, but attention must be paid to eting discipline. The administrator explained very clearly just now; since you’re here, you must hold yourself to the standards of an officer. You can only speak if I let you. If I don’t, keep your mouth shut."
"Yes."
"Alright, now let’s move on to the next topic, the organization of the camp headquarters, the direct sub-units, and each company."
Han Yu waited for Camp Secretary Qiu Xueliang and camp "lecturer" Han Xiangning to distribute the pre-prepared na lists to everyone, then opened his notebook and said slowly, "I will first talk about the configuration of the camp headquarters personnel and the setup of the camp’s direct sub-units.
Since today is the first eting and so comrades are not familiar with us, it is a good opportunity to introduce ourselves. Those who are called, please stand up and greet everyone. If there are differing opinions or additions needed regarding the organization, please bring them up in ti, and we’ll research it together."
Xiao Yu saw Liu Degui pick up a pen and quickly opened the notebook in front of him.
Zhang Erxiao realized this was a military eting and hurriedly followed suit.
"The camp headquarters has a total of nine people, I am the camp commander, a formal introduction, my surna is Han, single na Yu, my main job is a Linghai Economic and Technological Developnt Zone Party Working Committee mber, Political and Legal Committee Secretary, Military Minister, and a mber of the party committee of the Binjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau Water Police Branch."
Han Yu led by example, after speaking, stood up and saluted everyone.
