Chapter 131 The Lieutenant and the Corporal
Only then did Luo Wudan realize that the guy running past him was Minami Takahashi, the Japanese foreman of the labor camp. Luo Wudan had gone to the labor camp to interview Ren Liang before, so he naturally recognized the number one royal thug beside him. However, when Meng He assigned work to Luo Wudan today, he only remembered to ask her to dig deep into the dirty information about the "Xingang Military Chief", but he forgot to tell the Executive Committee about the adjustments to the naturalization of foreigners. She, therefore, was very surprised when she saw Gao Qiaonan reporting to Qian Tiandun - was the military and police department planning to let the tiger go back to the mountain and appoint a former Japanese pirate prisoner as a grassroots officer?
Qian Tiandun looked at Gao Qiaonan, and the expression on his face was not as surprised as Luo Wudan. Apparently he had been notified by the Military and Police Department before. Even if people like Minami Takahashi who are not engaged in production and have certain combat capabilities can regain their freedom by relying on the executive committee's amnesty, they can only be brought under the control of the Military and Police Department. Gao Qiaonan was assigned to Xingang as a foreman, but the establishment was still under the direct command of the local military officer. So as soon as he received the transfer order from Ren Liang in the morning, he immediately hurriedly said goodbye to his old boss and rushed to report to his new boss. Check in.
"In the future, we don't want to call officers or subordinates. There is no such term in our army. Just call them military rank. If you can't figure out the military rank, just call them positions!" Qian Tiandun seriously criticized Gao Qiaonan, who had just arrived: "In addition, When you enter the army, you must give a military salute and stop nodding and bowing!”
"Yes!" Gao Qiaonan had already become familiar with it in the labor camp. He stood up at attention and then performed a not very standard hand-raising salute according to the posture taught by Ren Liang: "Lieutenant Qian, Corporal Gao Qiaonan Reporting to you! ”
The current military and police department still basically follows the military rank system used by the People's Liberation Army in later generations. However, since the crossing group currently only recruits volunteers, the two levels of private and upper class military ranks specially set for conscripts have been cancelled. After all training in the new barracks, All soldiers included in the establishment will receive the rank of corporal. If the situation needs to develop in the future, for example, if temporary troops of the nature of auxiliary soldiers or mercenaries appear in some areas, then the two military ranks of private and private may be activated to treat them differently.
Takahashi Minami's military rank is a special case. His rank of corporal was obtained not in the recruit camp but in the labor camp. This was at least unprecedented, if not unprecedented. The military ranks of other time-travelers start at the "lieutenant" level. Members who have only worked in police or technical positions before time-travel are all awarded the rank of second lieutenant. Members who have formal military experience include those who entered the police system after changing careers. Including those who obtained the rank of lieutenant.
Such a one-size-fits-all award may seem unfair, but the Military and Police Department also considers pragmatism. First of all, the police force responsible for internal affairs will definitely have to be separated in the future. It will be a matter of time for the police department to start a new business and establish another police rank system. Therefore, the current difference in military ranks between second lieutenant and lieutenant will actually affect this group of people. Not much - at least everyone's basic salary is the same. Secondly, this can clearly allow people who are not familiar with the military and police departments to distinguish whether they belong to the military system or the police system. It will be more convenient in the deployment and arrangement of personnel. When encountering an emergency, they will not make mistakes in the rush, allowing those who study criminal investigation to To command the battle. The third reason is that when commanding naturalized soldiers, naturalized soldiers will not be confused about whose orders they should obey because of the complicated military rank system. Those with the rank of second lieutenant can only command platoon-level troops, while those with the rank of lieutenant can serve as company-level commanders.
Many members of the Military and Police Department have only served as soldiers in the army for three years. Many of them were only in the rank of first-class private when they retired. This military and Police Department's title award is a huge promotion. Someone like Qian Tiandun, who was already a lieutenant and deputy company commander of the active-duty army before time travel, can now be regarded as neither promoted nor demoted, and has continued the previous lieutenant rank.
As for the epaulette logos, Boss Tao spent his own money before traveling through time to buy a lot of epaulettes ranging from second lieutenants to generals, and even prepared them for the Air Force, which was nowhere to be seen. According to him, the "lifetime" of the Time Travel Group should be enough. As for whether a fierce man will be promoted to marshal in the future by virtue of his military exploits in conquering a certain continent, that remains to be seen.
Of course, there are still exceptions under the one-size-fits-all system. For example, the two chief officers of the Military and Police Department, Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie, have proclaimed themselves the rank of major. This is not because they are greedy for the vanity of being two levels higher in military rank, but because of actual combat command considerations. At present, only the first batch of trainees in the naturalized civilian force under the Military and Police Department have been included in the official establishment. Including the security forces, there is only one company, and a lieutenant rank as company commander is enough. However, with the recruitment of the second phase of trainees and the introduction of the third phase of the recruitment expansion plan, the establishment of the naturalized civilian army will be expanded to four companies within the year, with a scale of about 500 people. By then, a battalion-level establishment will definitely be established to facilitate The troops can conduct wartime command and daily management more effectively. According to the calculation of military rank, the officer who served as the battalion commander should be at the level of major. Therefore, under the premise of unanimous approval within the military and police department, the two bosses obtained the rank of major without hesitation.
However, this set of military ranks was introduced less than a week ago, and the members of the expedition team who had just returned from Beibu Gulf had not even had time to receive their shoulder insignia. And Takahashi Minami only learned one day ago that he had been included in the establishment of the Military and Police Department, and had received the rank of "corporal", which he did not quite understand. But it doesn't matter. Ren Liang has already given him a simple training class and roughly explained the military rank classification system.
Takahashi Minami has his own way of understanding this. His current rank of "Corporal" is undoubtedly just the "Ashigaru", a low-level samurai under the Military Police Department. According to Ren Liang, he will have the opportunity to be promoted based on his military merit in the future. , and can even be upgraded to a "lieutenant"-level officer like Chuan Chuanzhong one day, which makes Takahashi Minami full of hope for his new job. Being able to fight side by side with the powerful and invincible Haihan officers has become the next goal in Takahashi Minazang's heart.
Of course, Takahashi Minami understands that the first step in a journey of thousands of miles is to obtain the approval of his superiors. Whether he was a general in the past or a Corporal Haihan now, this is the awareness he should have. During the two months of hard work in the labor camp, Gao Qiaonan relied on this belief to win the favor of Ren Liang and get the opportunity to enter the naturalized citizen system. So when he came here to report to Qian Tiandun, his future boss, his attitude was particularly correct.
Luo Wudan, the only spectator present, was stunned, but soon she felt a kind of humiliated anger - Qian Tiandun's attitude towards Gao Qiaonan was actually more "warm" than towards her. Somehow, I worked so hard just now and could only get ten words out of his mouth. I originally thought this guy was a power saver, but it didn't seem like that. He was actually happy to talk to this little Japanese?
Luo Wudan walked quickly towards Qian Tiandun and scolded loudly as he walked: "Qian Tiandun, why don't you want to talk to me?" Qian Tiandun glanced at Luo Wudan and suddenly said: "Takahashi South!”
Takahashi Nan subconsciously said "come", and then heard Qian Tiandun lower his voice and said: "Now I order you to stop her."
Takahashi Nan was stunned for half a second, and then immediately turned around and opened his arms to stop the menacing Luo Wudan.
Luo Wudan saw this unreasonable little Japanese blocking him in front of him. Qian Tiandun took this opportunity to turn around and leave again. He was also anxious at the moment: "Why are you hiding from me, Qian? If you have something to do, tell me clearly in person!"
Luo Wudan turned left and right, and Gao Qiaonan just followed her around silently, blocking her direction.
"Gao Qiaonan, get out of the way!" Luo Wudan stretched out his hand to push him, but he didn't expect that Gao Qiaonan was shorter and had a very strong body. With this push, it was as if he was pushed against a wall. , has no effect at all.
Gao Qiaonan said something at this time, which almost made Luo Wudan cry: "Mrs. Qian, please don't embarrass me!"
Obviously, the ignorant little Japan had misunderstood this dispute as a husband and wife quarrel. At this time, Luo Wudan wanted to shout, "I have nothing to do with this guy Qian Tiandun", but seeing the surroundings gradually Onlookers began to appear, and she could only swallow the words hard. Qian Tiandun had disappeared behind a row of factory buildings, but the little Japanese was still standing in front of him and refused to give up. Luo Wudan stamped his feet angrily and turned around and left with strong reluctance.
As soon as Luo Wudan left, Qian Tiandun came out from nowhere and patted Gao Qiaonan, who was still standing there at a loss. "Good job. It seems we will cooperate well in the future." Very pleasant.”
That night, Qian Tiandun, a candidate for Xingang's military chief who had not yet taken office, and Corporal Minami Takahashi, who had just been released from the labor camp and was assigned to the military and police department and was not yet hot, appeared on the front page of the forum together. Headlines. Although today's interview failed, this did not prevent Luo Wudan from writing an interview with exciting and twists and turns. Of course, most of the content came from her personal speculation, or imagination. Menghe also provided technical support and directly pinned this interview to the top of the site to attract the attention of the members.
But what disappointed them was that most of the public's opinions tended to support the decision of the Military and Police Department, and accused some "unscrupulous reporters" of deliberately spreading alarmism and undermining unity. Menghe was so angry that he almost gave up the server. Turn off. Menghe knew very well that most of those who clamored on the forum that "journalists cannot dictate the allocation of personnel in professional fields" came from the military and police departments. As the one with the largest number of members among the subordinate departments of the Cross Travel Group, it is obvious that the Military and Police Department also has sufficient influence on public opinion.
