Commander Yu asked him to come to the capital. The reason why Han Yu agreed so happily was mainly because he wanted to meet his old comrades. A gathering of comrades is far more interesting than watching a party or attending a commendation meeting.

The feeling of attending this conference is completely different from before.

The first is accommodation. In 1998, when I participated in the Army Commendation Conference for Flood Control, two people lived in one room. This year, they all live in one room. The conditions are much better than before. Maybe because all the participants live in single rooms, they can’t fit in a hotel. Now they live in

This hotel is full of representatives from the Navy, not the Army or the Air Force.

Furthermore, in the past few years, personnel have changed a lot.

Most of the leaders he knew before have retired, and most of the representatives attending the meeting are new faces. If Feng Qingshan and the "Millennium Staff" were not there, Han Yu would really be a little lonely.

"Xianyu, I remind you again, don't call me 'Millennium Staff Officer' in the future. I am also a deputy minister now." Wu Jiwu sat in front of the coffee table, eating the fruit given by the hotel and said with a smile: "I just mentioned it two months ago.

Yes, but this should be the end of my military career. I will change my career after a few years."

Time flies so fast, and "Xiao Wu" turns into "Old Wu" in a blink of an eye. Han Yu curiously asks: "Which department?"

Wu Jiwu smiled and said: "Aviation Protection Department."

If I remember correctly, the Aviation Protection Department is a division-level unit under the Naval Command. It is mainly responsible for organizing and implementing navigation assurance work in maritime battlefield construction and combat service support. It is in charge of navigation, ocean surveying and mapping, hydrometeorology, danger prevention and life-saving, etc.

Four specialties.

Han Yu reacted and couldn't help but smile: "I've been promoted, congratulations!"

"My thousand-year-old daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law. What is there to congratulate?" Wu Jiwu took out a tissue to wipe his hands and said with emotion: "Moreover, this may be the end of my career as a professional soldier. I will change my career after a few more years."

"Impossible, you are the leader of the headquarters."

"What kind of leader am I? Xianyu, I'm not kidding you. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. I had many opportunities to train at the grassroots level, but I missed them for one reason or another. As a result, even though I have a long military career,

But I have never been a grassroots officer and have no experience in leading troops at the grassroots level. It is impossible for an office officer like me to make progress."

In the public security system, if you want to be reused by your superiors, you must be the police station chief.

In local party committees and governments, if you want to be entrusted with important responsibilities by superiors, whether you have been the top leader in a township is also an important resume.

The same is true in the military. The "Millennium Staff" graduated from the military academy and worked in the headquarters. He has never been a captain or captain, nor has he been a group leader or detachment leader. He has never led a soldier. It is really difficult to make progress.

Han Yu was feeling sorry for him when Feng Qingshan whispered: "Han Bureau, I am now a professional and technical cadre. I have just been transferred to the Equipment Research Institute. I don't have to think about changing jobs anymore. I can work until retirement."

The Equipment Research Institute is the highest research institution of the Navy. It was originally called the Naval Equipment Research and Demonstration Center. Later, it was transformed from a pure research and demonstration center into a scientific research school, setting up a doctoral program and recruiting master's degree students. Han Yu often reads "Demonstration and Research" and

"Collection of Foreign Naval Forces" is published regularly by the Equipment Research Institute.

There are specialties in the technical field. Han Yu knew what Lao Feng was studying in the institute without asking. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good to take the professional and technical route."

Although Lao Feng was not dissatisfied with the current situation, he still smiled and said: "Han Bureau, with so many comrades fighting the flood together, Li Shousong has been promoted the fastest and has done the best."

"What is Li Shousong's current position?"

"The Chief of Staff of the 402nd Division is said to be the youngest deputy division cadre since the 105th Army was transferred to the Air Force in decades!"

"Did he come this time?"

"Here he is, he called me at noon and said that he had something to do during the day and would come to see you in the evening."

The 105th Army is the main force, and Li Shousong is a cadre trained by the main force. It is normal to make rapid progress. Han Yu was happy for Li Shousong from the bottom of his heart. Just when he was wondering whether Lao Ge knew about this, Wu Jiwu stood up and said: "Xianyu, it's time to go

After dinner, the chief may come over to visit everyone."

Old Feng also stood up and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, finish early and watch the party."

The third change this time is eating. In the past, it was a table meal. The chiefs would toast to the model representatives participating in the commendation meeting table by table. This time it was a buffet. The chiefs would only come to see the big guys, not like

Toast like before.

Han Yu is most afraid of drinking. Although it is not as lively as before, he likes this change very much.

The three of them came to the restaurant. As soon as they took the plates and took their meals and sat down, a colonel came over with the plates: "Hello, Director Han, hello Deputy Minister Wu!"

Han Yu quickly stood up and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Hello, may I ask who you are..."

"I'm Wang Youliang. Deputy Minister Wu took me to Binjiang back then. Bureau Han, don't you remember me?"

"Oh, I remembered. It turned out to be Captain Wang. I'm sorry, I really didn't think of it just now."

As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, Wu Jiwu smiled and said: "Han Bureau, Youliang has been promoted a long time ago, and he has been promoted step by step. He is now the deputy detachment leader."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Submarine detachment?"

Wang Youliang did not expect to see Han Yu and said excitedly: "Han Bureau, the submarines you transferred back that year are in our detachment. Some of the submarines you transferred back later are also in our detachment. I didn't know it at first, but I found out later.

Even the semi-submersibles of the several submarines after the transfer were designed and built based on the drawings and data you provided back then!"

"Really? I almost forgot."

"You almost forgot, but we will never forget. Our detachment leader and political commissar know that I know you, and they have wanted me to invite you to our detachment for inspection and guidance more than once. But I have only met you once, and I have never been embarrassed to talk to you.

"

"Don't be ridiculous. How am I qualified to go to your detachment to inspect and provide guidance? Sit down, sit down and chat."

"Okay, thank you Bureau Han, thank you Deputy Minister Wu, thank you Director Feng."

The submarine detachment equipped with the "Big Shark" is definitely the most awesome of all submarine detachment leaders. I can imagine that the one in front of me has a bright future just like Li Shousong.

It was not easy for Han Yu to inquire about other people's military secrets, so he could only ask about unimportant matters.

Wang Youliang answered all questions and had great respect for the Korean Bureau, as well as the "Millennium Staff" and Lao Feng. After all, to him, the "Millennium Staff" and Lao Feng were superior cadres of the headquarters.

While they were chatting and laughing, the "Millennium Staff Officer" saw a senior colonel walking into the restaurant. He stood up with a smile and waved to invite him over.

"Director Han, this is Commander Yuan, the ace pilot of our navy! Commander Yuan, I don't need to introduce Director Han. Deputy Political Commissar Fang mentioned it to you when he visited your unit two years ago, and Deputy Minister Shen also mentioned it to you. .

Master Yuan reacted and quickly raised his hands to salute: "Hello Director Han, I have long admired your name. Director Han, I have met your brother-in-law, and I was thinking about when I could see you, but I didn't expect to see you here."

It turns out to be Dongdong’s troop leader!

Han Yu calmed down and quickly raised his hand to return the gift. Then he held his hand tightly and said seriously and sincerely: "Mr. Yuan, thank you for your concern for my family Aidong. He told me when he came back to get married last year. The unit chief treated him very well."

"There are only a few pilots in our division, and we must be concerned about them."

"Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect that the chief would mention Aidong to you. I know this is the chief's concern for me and my nephew, but I really never thought about making it special. You don't have to give me face, if Aidong If you are disobedient in the army, you can criticize them as you please."

"Director Han, your nephew's performance in the army is better than you thought!" Commander Yuan patted Han Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Not only did he perform well, he was also bold, careful and clever. Many soldiers who were several years ahead of him Veteran pilots all admire him."

"Master Yuan, the main reason is that you taught him well. Ai Dong told me that when he was first assigned to the army, you personally led him to fly more than once and taught him how to fly step by step."

"This is my job."

"Mr. Yuan, you go and get the food first. Get the food, and we'll sit down and eat and chat."

"Okay," Master Yuan let go of Han Yu's hand, turned around and said with a smile, "Deputy Minister Wu, I'll go get the food, you eat first."

"No rush, I'll wait for you to come over and eat together."

Although the "Millennium Staff" is not as promising as some of them, he has worked in the headquarters agency for so many years. I don't know how many times he has gone to the army to inspect the work with the head of the headquarters, and he knows a lot of people.

Han Yuzheng secretly lamented that it was great to have a friend like the "Millennium Staff Officer". A burst of warm applause came from the entrance of the restaurant. The four of them looked back and saw that it was the head of the headquarters who came to visit everyone, and they quickly stood up to greet them.

The commander and political commissar did not come, but the deputy commander and deputy political commissar came.

Han Yu didn't know the deputy commander, but he had known deputy political commissar Fang for a long time. However, almost all of the people attending the commendation meeting this time were active-duty officers. As a reserve officer, he was too embarrassed to step forward.

Wu Jiwu didn't want to miss this opportunity. As a "conference staff", he didn't have as many worries as Han Yu. He picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, walked over and squeezed into the crowd.

Deputy political commissar Fang was speaking in front, but Han Yu could only hear the voice but not see the person.

People were applauding in front, and he was applauding behind him. He thought that the leader would just say a few words and then leave. Unexpectedly, the people in front of him actually moved to both sides of the aisle and saw Deputy Political Commissar Fang walking over with a smile on his face.

"Xianyu, why didn't I see you? He was hiding here."

"Hello, Chief!"

The chief actually came towards him. Han Yu was startled and quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Deputy Political Commissar Fang did not return the greeting, but patted him on the arm and smiled sideways: "Deputy Commander Tan, during the Dongshan Island exercise, I flew to sea to learn about the gathering of fishing boats. This guy was the one who moved the anti-aircraft guns onto the transport ship, thinking that I

The transport plane I was on was an enemy plane and it almost shot me down!"

"Xianyu, we have met." Deputy Commander Tan pointed at Han Yu and said with a smile: "The hero who fought against the flood in 1998 once served as the garrison liaison officer of the Ministry of Communications and went on a mission with our naval formation. Comrade Xianyu, I remembered it correctly.

Bar."

"Thank you for your concern, Chief. He has a really good memory."

Although Han Yu said this, he was thinking in his heart that he had seen it before, but it was just a meeting. The leader must not have remembered that he, a "non-staff member", should have been the "Millennium Staff" who just squeezed in to report.

As soon as Deputy Commander Tan finished speaking, Deputy Political Commissar Fang smiled and asked: "Xianyu, it's a rare BJ. Have you ever gone to see Minister Feng?"

"Reporting to the chief, I just arrived today, so I haven't taken care of it for the time being."

"Today's party, we have also invited more than a dozen seniors and comrades from our navy. Minister Feng is among them. You will see them later."

"That's great, thank you, chief."

"What's there to thank you for? Later you will not only be able to see Minister Feng, but also Deputy Minister Shen and Deputy Chief of Staff Zheng who were on the trip together that year. Deputy Minister Shen really cares about you. He even talked to you a few days ago.

I said you're back in the team, otherwise I wouldn't have known you would come to the commendation meeting."

Team leader Shen has been promoted and is now the deputy director of the Naval Equipment Department.

Chief of Staff Zheng of the South China Sea Fleet, who led the trip with Captain Shen back then, is now the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy. Han Yu suddenly discovered that although the personnel at the headquarters have changed greatly, he still knows many leaders.
