February 1961, Jiangshan County, Zhejiang Province
Lin Sanqi came out of the guest house early in the morning and put on a formal military uniform. The two stripes and three stars on the shoulder straps were very eye-catching. The doctor he was going to pick up today was Jia Xuezhen, who had returned home from the Digital Hospital.
For a former military doctor, putting on military uniform is the best respect for Jia Xuezhen.
When passing by the front desk, Lin Sanqi smiled and asked:
"Hello, comrade, do you have a map of Jiangshan County?"
The two female staff at the front desk were so frightened that they stood up quickly. For a small guest house in a small county town, a colonel-level soldier was definitely a big shot.
At the same time, the two of them were a little surprised. Why did such a military boss come to stay in the guest house alone? Why doesn't the county accept it?
"Hello, Chief, we, we don't have a map here. If you want to go somewhere, we can arrange for staff to accompany you and guide you."
Lin Sanqi opened her notebook and took a look:
"I'm going to the Security Commune. I don't know if this place is far away."
"Baoan Township?"
This place is special. You must know that there was a great reactionary in the Republic of China, and his hometown was Baoan Township.
The two waiters were very alert, and their little hands touched each other under the table. With a smile on his face and a feeling of joy in his heart, he was ready to move reinforcements.
After all, if a special enemy sneaks in and they don't call the police, they will be punished.
"The Security Commune is quite far away, about 50 miles away. If the chief doesn't do this, we'll contact the county's armed forces department and ask them to take you there."
No matter what Lin Sanqi thought, it was natural for the soldiers to resolve matters among themselves:
"Okay, I'll trouble you two comrades."
"No trouble, no trouble, darling, comrades from the capital are different after all. They are already colonels at such a young age. Ah Hui, hurry up and call..."
The Jiangshan County Armed Forces Department was not far from the guest house. The waiter Ah Hui ran over at a fast speed without calling.
These days, no one who can earn a living as a waiter is a simple person.
Ah Hui ran into the Ministry of Armed Forces and ran directly to the minister’s office:
"Uncle Sun, a colonel has come to our guest house. He is going to Bao'an Township. You should go and identify him quickly to see if he is a fake."
Sun Zhiqiang stood up as soon as he heard this: "What's going on? Just tell me briefly."
"That's right, a 24-year-old young man came here. When he registered yesterday, he used a letter of introduction from the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital. But when he came out, he changed into military uniform and came as a colonel. No, he is worse than you, the minister. Freshman level.
He just said he was going to Bao'an Township and asked us for a map. Sister Liu feels strange, so let me tell you, could it be the reactionaries pretending to be our People's Liberation Army? I've heard that there is a treasure buried in the mountains of that man's hometown. ”
There has always been a local legend in Jiangshan that someone died after falling from a plane in Daishan, Nanjing, and the whereabouts of the gold and silver he had embezzled during his lifetime were unknown.
The most likely possibility is that he was buried in the mountains behind his hometown. After all, he was very good to his hometown in Jiangshan during his lifetime and brought many fellow villagers out.
Upon hearing this, Minister Sun quickly put on his coat and yelled at the subordinates in the nearby offices:
"We have a mission, take the guy with you and run with me to the county guest house."
"Yes!"
Lin Sanqi didn't know anything at this time and was sitting in the guest house chatting with the front desk clerk:
"The most famous place in your county is Jianglang Mountain, right? The most famous celebrity should be Boss Dai, right? I've heard before that Boss Dai likes to use Jiangshan fellows as operators, and then all use Jiangshan dialect when delivering top-secret information. .
No matter how much the Japs monitor, they can't understand it, and they can't decipher the 'code' at all. This Boss Dai is really a master and a talent, and he can think of this method. Ha ha. By the way, have you heard about this? Is it true? ”
The corners of Sister Liu's mouth twitched, wondering how she could answer this question?
Good guy, this fellow Dai is stained with the blood of our party comrades, and he is also the most taboo person in Jiangshan people. Are you talking about it so openly?
The key point is that you can talk about it. At least you can express your position by swearing a few words. How can you listen to the colonel's evidence and still admire Boss Dai?
In fact, Lin Sanqi was not admiring him. He was just chatting. Who would show loyalty and shout slogans while chatting?
"This, this, that, that..."
Just when Sister Liu was in trouble, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then a group of green military uniforms ran in.
Sun Zhiqiang, Minister of the Jiangshan Armed Forces, came trotting over with his men, each with a guy tied around his waist and looking nervous.
When Minister Sun saw Lin Sanqi, his first impression was that he was very likely to be a liar.
Because after liberation, the army has standardized the promotion system for officers and clarified the minimum length of service and other conditions for officer promotion.
Even if you are a proud student from a military school, you will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant (platoon level) after graduation. To be promoted to colonel (full regimental rank), you need to go through the six military ranks of lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel and colonel. The minimum service years for each military rank are: second lieutenant 2 years, lieutenant 3 years, captain 4 years, major 5 years, lieutenant colonel 4 years, a total of 18 years.
In other words, according to the fastest promotion speed, one can be promoted from second lieutenant to colonel after 18 years after graduating from the military academy. Based on the 22nd year of graduation from the military academy, one can be promoted to the rank of colonel at the earliest at the age of 40.
Even veteran soldiers and comrades like Sun Zhiqiang once survived a hail of bullets, but now they only hold the rank of lieutenant colonel and enjoy regular treatment.
But the young man in front of him was definitely 24 years old, which was about the same age as Sun Zhiqiang's son. However, he still had a higher military rank than him. This was problematic no matter how you looked at it.
Thinking of this, Sun Zhiqiang lost interest in saluting his superior, and instead asked with some vigilance:
"Hello, comrade, I am Sun Zhiqiang from the Armed Forces Department of Jiangshan County. What is your purpose in Jiangshan County?"
Lin Sanqi didn't think too much about it. After all, he was walking around all over the Four-Nine City. Who wouldn't give him a little favor? I usually have no worries when I go to the local government, and I never thought that I would arouse the suspicion of local comrades.
"Hello, comrade, my name is Lin Sanqi. It's like this. Last year, your security commune had a doctor who retired from the Capital Digital Hospital and returned home. I came here this time to ask him to work in a new unit."
Sun Zhiqiang was even more confused now.
He knew that Jia Xuezhen, who had returned from the capital after retiring from the Baoan Commune, was in charge of retired soldiers after all. Moreover, military doctors who can enter digital hospitals are not famous all over the country.
But precisely because he knew it, he was even more suspicious.
Because Jia Xuezhen was just an ordinary civilian soldier with a low rank, how could he bother a colonel to come from the capital to greet him in person?
Just like an ordinary teacher, the leader of the Ministry of Education came to welcome him to work. Isn't this an act of rebellion against Tiangang?
This Jia Xuezhen is not a retired general, so how can he get such treatment?
Soldiers are straight-tempered, and they don’t mince words when they are suspected, so they asked coldly:
"Comrade Lin, please show me your military officer ID and work ID."
Lin Sanqi was stunned and immediately realized what was going on, but he was not angry. He was famous in Sijiu City. Who knew who Lin Sanqi was when he got there.
This was someone else's job. Lin Sanqi could only take out two documents and a letter of introduction from his backpack and handed them over.
"Minister Sun, this is my military officer ID, this is my work ID, and this is my letter of introduction."
"Hey, colonel staff officer of the General Logistics Department?"
Minister Sun was a little shocked. Although the military rank was only one level lower, it didn't seem like much, but he was a member of the Central Committee of the General Logistics Department, and he was not comparable to a local soldier like him.
"Hey, director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital?"
Captain Sun scratched his head when he saw his work permit. The staff officer of the General Logistics Department and the director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital seemed to have no connection at all.
Let’s not talk about the issue of not meeting the age limit. Being the director of a hospital at the age of 24 is enough to go against the grain.
The key is that if you are an active military officer of the General Logistics Department, even if you go to the hospital, it should be a digital hospital such as 301, 302, 304, and 309.
Capital Infectious Disease Hospital, as its name sounds, it sounds like a local civilian hospital, not a military hospital at all. So how could Lin Sanqi be appointed director across multiple systems?
Finally, Captain Sun opened the envelope again, and when he saw the official seal on the letter of introduction, his pupils shrank instantly:
"The central military is great?"
In Minister Sun's mind, the Central Military Commission is the highest authority, the leader of his leader, his boss's boss's boss, and a god-like existence.
How can you tolerate offending the God in your own mind?
The more Minister Sun thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Lin Sanqi and cursed:
"I can't bear it if you say you are a colonel, and I can bear it if you say you are the director of a major hospital in the capital. You fucking dare to pretend to be a member of the Central Military Commission. I can't bear it anymore. Come on, arrest me!"< br>
Lin Sanqi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time, and really wanted to say something cool:
"Sun, it's easy for you to catch me now, but it won't be easy for you to let me go then."
But he also knew that Minister Sun was a pure person with no bad intentions, so he was not prepared to resist and just accepted the verification obediently.
As a result, two soldiers came up and subdued him in a flash. They twisted their hands behind his back, pulled his hair, and pressed down hard at the same time, even the military cap fell to the ground.
Lin Sanqi can't bear it anymore. He doesn't even resist. You still let him experience jet flying? The method is so simple and crude?
What's more, he was wearing a military uniform and his hat was about to be crushed.
"Sun, are you crazy? Do you know the consequences of detaining a superior officer without reason?"
Sun Zhiqiang was also adamant: "I'm arresting enemy agents. Where are the superiors? Take them away. I don't believe you won't attack them under the iron fist."
Lin Sanqi really wanted to cry, thinking that facing such a big boss would be like a scholar meeting a soldier. (End of chapter)
