They were all reborn and became firefighters again?

Chapter 470 Earthquake Summary Meeting (a little water today, you can jump)
10 month 8 day.

No. 1 Chang'an Street, Second Ring Road Golden Line.

In the early morning, the sky was neither sunny nor dark, the sunshine was pale and not dazzling, and the temperature was a pleasant 17 degrees.

Fang Huai took a shower, put on his spring and autumn clothes, picked up the briefcase issued by the army, and walked out of the Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel where he spent a huge amount of money to stay at his own expense.

Next to him, there is a villager from Guizhou.

Cao Yi attended the commendation meeting on behalf of the squadron.

On such a big day, he definitely couldn't stay in a small hotel. He also chose one that was very close to Tiananmen Square, and called Lao Cao, who had arrived yesterday afternoon, and forced him to treat him.

There have been a lot of things going on recently. The two of them talked about school and the squadron, and they didn't go to bed until after three o'clock.

However, when I woke up today, I was in high spirits.

As soon as the two men came out in military uniforms, they immediately attracted attention.

However, it's not his handsome face, but the military medal on his chest.

Fang Huai had no expression on his face, but his heart was filled with pride. When he was far away, he smiled at Cao Yi in a low voice:

"After getting the honor, I have to come to Beijing! People can understand! Tsk, it's a pity that I haven't passed the first-class merit award yet, and there is a second-class merit award from the training class, which is still on the way! If I pass it ,Hey."

However, a burst of rich laughter came, accompanied by a hand patting Fang Huai's shoulder.

There are many knowledgeable people in the capital. An old man next to him caught a glimpse of his military achievements and his mismatched young face. He couldn't help but smacked his lips and said to the person next to him:
"This is here for a meeting next door. Did you see it? The student's shoulder badges and no qualification badges. He must have made meritorious service in Wenchuan. He just got the job! People's hero!"

The 149th Division was identified by the Military Commission as one of the first three divisions of the first rapid reaction force in the late 80s, and was known as the First Southwest Quick Reaction Division.

The words were not loud, but the content was a bit jarring. Some people around looked over and looked at Fang Huai.

Cao Yi glanced at him: "I know, I've never relaxed! I've been here for the past two days, and training courses have been arranged for them. Lao Huang Daixun, are you still worried? I asked you, can you stop following the assigned tasks? Like? I am the secretary! The Second Squadron will increase its establishment in two months. By then, I will be a major in camp! Is it appropriate for you, a small deputy company, to step on my head? "

For such a person, even if Fang Huai has a good personal relationship with him, he still needs to be cautious.

Once here, Fang Huai is no longer conspicuous.

It's not like Commander Jin didn't talk to him on the phone. Fang Huai also knew that this man was now the commander of the 13th Division of the 149th Group Army.

Fang Huai didn't take it seriously: "I don't care about money, I don't care about power, I just want a sense of honor. Why don't you let me enjoy it?...Hey, I said, you can have some snacks for what I said last night. I'm over there in Liaoning But we have agreed that the regulations will be implemented in half a year at most, and professional training will soon become our main theme, so we must pay close attention to physical training."

The people next to him also praised: "That's for sure! Have you seen it? Firefighters! I heard a relative of mine say that this time the firefighting has done a great job! Look at this child, so young, two second-class merits, three third-class merits! Amazing !”

It is very large, and it also has a combined armored regiment merged from the Shenyang Military Region. It will be adapted in later generations and will be changed into at least two to three combined brigades.

At this age and in this position, I think he has a bright future. Mr. Jin's future is likely to exceed the upper limit of the fire service.

"Fang Huai! Not bad! Are you ready?"

His merits are truly everywhere.

"Haha, you are almost thirty and you are just starting camp. You should hurry up and seize the opportunity to do something good. If you don't strive for special promotion, at most, I can catch up with you at the deputy regiment level. I believe No?"

Cao Yi had a dark face. He accidentally glanced at the three military medals on his chest. He felt a little shabby and said in a bad mood:
"show off!"

When Fang Huai heard this, he laughed dryly and stopped talking. He straightened his hat and stood up straighter.

Most of the attendees at this commendation meeting were military personnel.

Cao Yi couldn't help but laugh softly when he saw this grand scene.

Former Brigadier Jin, now Commander Jin, nodded, looked carefully at the cadre collar and military medals on Fang Huai, and said with some satisfaction:

Although Master Jin didn't boast anything, Fang Huai checked and found that this was no ordinary master.

Cao Yi also immediately saluted: "Chief!"

But facing this rapidly promoted master who was only forty-two years old, Fang Huai gave up the idea of ​​joking.

"Mr. Jin, you have just arrived at the new unit and are busy with work. How can I bother you with this little thing? But when the Chinese New Year comes, I will definitely come to visit you!"

"Well... this is the beginning. At first, I was worried that your boy would be discharged from the army. Unexpectedly, within a few months, he became a cadre and got two second-class merits. It seems that his progress has not stopped! Why? Don’t you want to report to me, the captain?”

Mr. Jin didn’t stick to trivial matters, he laughed and said:
"Okay! During the Chinese New Year, as long as I'm not on duty, you can come here anytime! You can come even if I'm on duty, or you can come to my new unit to have a look! But don't come to Chengdu. You know the new address. I'll have someone pick you up when you get there. One trip!”

"Are you still crazy enough?"

For the ten o'clock meeting in the morning, they arrived early at eight o'clock, but the door was already crowded.

It was mainly Fang Huai who attracted other people's attention.

"Hey, don't blink, keep an eye on my epaulettes, and don't tell me I'm doing magic."

Fang Huai clicked his tongue and said somewhat sourly:
"What are they? Look at those with more military medals, either four or more, or colonels. When I reach their military age, my uniform will be pricked with holes on both sides of the hem! Don't ask me how many I have in the future. A military medal! Just three kilograms!"

Those who don't have three military medals on their chests simply don't hang them, and there are many who have them all on their clothes.

Cao Yi blushed a little: "Can you keep a low profile? All troops from all over the country are here, and you represent the image of our firefighting!"

Fang Huai wanted to make a joke and say, "You don't call me often to care about me."

In the past, most people attending meetings here would wear suits and leather shoes, but today, military uniforms are everywhere.

"You're overthinking. Your fire brigade is pretty much the same. I wore your cadet epaulettes ten years ago. I was still studying in Langfang. I changed three squadrons before my daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law and embarked on this journey. The road is just the beginning, promotion is not as simple as you think."

Fang Huai knew who it was, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin!"

The two of them exchanged words with each other and strutted through East Chang'an Street and Tiananmen Square before arriving at the Great Hall of the People.

It was also a Chinese New Year interview. Deputy Director Yu asked him to go on the seventh and eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but Mr. Jin said he could go at any time, at work or at home, and the relationship would depend on the distance.

Fang Huai felt this sincere military friendship and couldn't help but let go of his caution and said sincerely: "Okay, if you are free, when the conference is over, I will treat you to hot pot and treat it as a celebration for me!"

"Okay! I don't have to leave until tomorrow. It just happens to be in the afternoon!"

Mr. Jin was very cheerful and young, and still retained some of the young people's speaking style: "However, BJ's hot pot is not interesting. If you want to have it, just have it from Quanjude. Can't you afford it?"

Fang Huai finally smiled openly, and there was a hint of arrogance in his smile.

"You are a noble person who forgets things a lot. I am the richest man in the fire department."

"Oh, yes, yes!" Mr. Jin patted his head: "Then Quan Jude will kill you! Tell me what you have done recently!" After the earthquake, Fang Huai's family donated millions , he is at the headquarters, but he knows it.

"Okay!" Fang Huai agreed readily, then pulled Lao Cao and said:
"Are you going back tomorrow too? Have you brought casual clothes? Let's go together in the afternoon!"

Cao Yi suddenly felt excited.

When dining with the promising Mr. Jin, even if you don’t bring one, you still have to buy one!

"Bring it! But...it's not good for you to have dinner with the chief..."

Mr. Jin waved his hand.

"Eh? What's wrong? I recognize you. We are all comrades who have climbed mountains and crossed ditches. Don't be restrained!"

After that, he pulled Fang Huai and said, "By the way, Xiao Fang, why did you refuse the opportunity to speak today?"

Fang Huai smiled: "I'm too young and it's not appropriate for me to represent you. It's up to you to do it."

At this meeting, the affairs of Tangjiashan will be made public.

To be precise, the matter has been made public for a long time. This time, the leader set the tone and publicly commended them.

The superiors knew very well who got the credit for the Tangjiashan Commando Team. He was called by the capital beforehand and asked him to prepare a speech to speak on behalf of the temporary collective of the Tangjiashan Commando Team. However, Fang Huai insisted on shirk, saying that it should be done by Mr. Jin spoke.

Feeling that his attitude was firm, he agreed.

Fang Huai knew very well that the national CCTV live broadcast was such a serious occasion. The seven representatives of the earthquake-resistant model collective who spoke, and the other six were all leaders of units and enterprises. The fire department already had a captain Sun from Chengdu. He was a young man who came up. , inappropriate.

Moreover, there are a total of seven speaking slots, which are meant to represent various large groups in the military, government and business. If the fire department takes two, it will weaken the contribution of other units. Based on this consideration, if he goes up, Captain Sun will have to come down.

For such a big meeting, there are a lot of things to consider.

The fact that they did not insist on letting him speak shows that they also had this concern, and they only came to ask for his opinion because of his great contribution.

Moreover, Commander Jin, who has just arrived in a new unit, may also need this opportunity to show his face. He speaks on behalf of the People's Liberation Army and adds another People's Liberation Army seat. The two People's Liberation Army seats represent the largest rescue force, which is just right.

Seeing Fang Huai's calm expression, Mr. Jin couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder again:

"You, boy, have a better future than I do. You have the opportunity to show your face in front of the whole country. If I were your age, I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep for days and nights!"

Fang Huai couldn't help but joked: "This is a disaster, don't laugh when you go up."

Mr. Jin immediately became serious.

"What are these words? I dreamed last night that my wife and children were crushed in the ruins. This nightmare has happened to me seven or eight times in the past six months! They are all relatives of others! People who have been to the scene, Who could laugh at that time?"

……

9:, Great Hall of the People.

Everyone lined up to enter the venue under the inspection of armed security police.

There are many halls in the assembly hall. The hall for today's meeting is not big. It can seat less than a thousand people. Fang Huai and Cao Yi followed Mr. Jin into the venue, but they were not together. Mr. Jin was in front, and they arrived In the sixth row, sit down in the firefighting sequence.

Here, no one can laugh.

The faces that were chatting with each other outside just now, and smiling, all looked solemn when they entered here.

In the center of the stage, ten national flags were displayed on both sides of the national emblem. The banner above read "National Earthquake Relief Summary and Commendation Conference." Unusually, no songs were played at the venue.

At about 9:50, the welcome song finally started playing in the auditorium, and the venue became a little restless. Some of the photographers standing in front started to move. A group of leaders entered the venue from the side, and the applause was gentle, which was in line with the standards of this meeting. Enthusiasm doesn't match at all.

The atmosphere is somewhat dull.

This made Fang Huai, who was excited when he saw the faces on the stage, calm down a little.

He had been away from the solemn event of the earthquake for a long time. When he returned to Guizhou, he was thinking about how to cheer everyone up. Except for work needs in front of the leaders, he almost no longer took the initiative to mention Beichuan and Wenchuan with his comrades.

Now I see the ethnic costumes of the Beichuan Qiang and Wenchuan Tibetans again on some people sitting in the front row, and some images suddenly come to my mind.

I couldn't help but feel a bit sore in my nose.

People with good memories are more sad than others.

"The meeting begins."

The whole place was silent except for the sound of taking pictures.

"Today is the National Earthquake Relief Commendation and Summary Conference..."

...

“2008年5月12日14时28分，我国发生了震惊世界的四川汶川特大地震，受灾地区人民生命财产和经济……”

“Today, we solemnly convene the National Earthquake Relief Summary and Commendation Conference, which is to comprehensively summarize the earthquake relief work and commend the collective earthquake relief heroes and earthquake relief models..."

"Here, I represent..."

“During the earthquake relief period, the governments of many countries and the Chinese people would like to express our sincere gratitude to them!”

The voice became louder and louder.

"At this moment, we especially want to express our deep thoughts and deep condolences to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives heroically to win the major victory in the earthquake relief struggle, and to the compatriots who unfortunately died in the earthquake disaster!"

"I propose that everyone stand and observe a moment of silence for them."

Everyone stood up together, took off their hats, and looked ahead.

The silence in the grand scene, but there is a kind of thunder that hits the heart, making people unconsciously feel a chill trembling through the body. Regardless of their rank or status, everyone in the scene moves in a unified manner, and everyone is serious.

A country is a country composed of people. The word "people" is the word that appears most often in this auditorium.

The death of people is what this country needs most to pay attention to and take action, to be sad and solemn, to summarize and work hard.

At this moment, everyone in the field seemed to have returned to the moment when they were standing in front of the tombs in their respective positions.

"Down below, play and sing the national anthem."
