Chapter 54: Military Ranks, Positions and Ranks

The small shoe repair stall had many leather shoes brought in for repair.

Because the shoe repairman is very skilled, his work is meticulous and attentive, and his price is fair and reasonable.

Fix what is broken is how most people treat life.

He sat down and took off his shoes and handed them to the shoe repairman. Song Shutang saw that Uncle Li's complexion looked better than before. It seemed that he had recovered well from his injury.

Uncle Li took the leather shoes, checked them in his hand, and asked, "Have you encountered any problems?"

He knew that Song Shutang would not come to him for no reason, let alone see how he was doing. It was an unnecessary meeting.

"I'm very confused now." Song Shutang started to talk directly without any polite words.

"Because of Nie Hong and Yan Qinghui?" Uncle Li understood instantly.

"Brother Nie and Brother Yan still care about me very much, and even everyone has changed a little. Uncle Li, can you imagine that Brother Nie took the trouble to preach in front of me? Can you imagine that Brother Yan actually took the initiative to make an appointment for dinner just to meet again?

Emphasis on the fact that he, who is usually taciturn, spoke a lot."

"They are also suffering in their hearts."

Can you imagine?

Actually, Uncle Li can.

The team leader and others died, and the remaining people have to bear the inherited responsibilities.

Nie Hong changed his previous image and took over the responsibility of educating and caring for Song Shutang.

Yan Qinghui has also changed.

But it was precisely this that brought huge confusion to Song Shutang. He still had doubts about the identity of the two people, and he wanted to find out the truth.

In the process of seeking the truth, the two of them still took care of each other, which made Song Shutang very resistant to the truth. After all, the truth often means cruelty.

"You want to keep the only good things you have? But some good things are false!" Uncle Li felt sorry for Song Shutang when he faced these problems, but on the surface there was no change.

"Does it have to be fake?"

"The truth is needed."

At first, Uncle Li disagreed with Song Shutang's investigation of the matter, but he knew that he could not persuade him.

And he also understood that Song Shutang seemed to be in a dilemma now, but if you asked him to give up the investigation, that was absolutely impossible.

The reason I came to my door today was just to find someone to talk to.

"the truth!"

"Without the truth, you don't dare to have real feelings for two people. But with the truth, you can at least have feelings for one person, or for both of them. It's better than being trapped now."

"Uncle Li, do you also think that maybe they are all fine?"

"There is such a possibility."

"So the truth is needed."

"right."

Not only does he need the truth, everyone in the group needs the truth.

"The two of them were able to see through my suspicions. They even indulged my suspicions and allowed me to investigate, and they didn't doubt me." The reason why Song Shutang couldn't calm down yesterday was because of the tolerance of Nie Hong and Yan Qinghui.

Many times the issue of professionalism is not discussed.

Awkward contradictions are intertwined.

You can't make a mistake when faced with a choice.

But my heart will be very confused!

"The shoes are ready." Uncle Li handed the shoes back.

Song Shutang took the shoes and put them on his feet. Uncle Li played with other people's leather shoes and said, "Meditate."

"Yeah." Song Shutang took out the money.

Uncle Li asked for money: "Let nature take its course."

After leaving Song Shutang in front of Uncle Li's stall, I felt a little calmer.

He came to Uncle Li today not because he needed a clear answer, but more because he wanted to find someone to express his feelings to, and that would be fine.

After leaving Shangshibanpo, I took the back street of Shenxiandong, walked around Xinglong Street, and then walked along the Central 1st Road towards Luojiawan.

I found a place to eat by myself in the evening, then returned to Xialuojiawan to rest, and continued to work in the Intelligence Section the next day.

At the intersection, I met Long Hao who was waiting.

“I feel much better after having my hair cut,” Song Shutang said.

"It's okay." Long Hao touched his head with his hand.

"How was your rest yesterday?"

"I'm still not used to resting."

"A life of hard work."

"I just can't stay idle."

The two came to the Intelligence Department and sat in their respective seats.

Not long after, Zhu Yue appeared and asked Song Shutang to go to the section chief's office.

He got up and went to find Shen Lushui. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the office, Shen Lushui took him to see Bao Yiwei.

"Director." Song Shutang said after seeing Bao Yiwei.

Bao Yiwei had a calm and intimidating appearance, but looking at Song Shutang in front of him, his face was gentle and smiling.

"You performed very well in the school hall during this mission. You brought glory to the Military Department and the Intelligence Section, and made great contributions to the fight against the Japanese invaders." Bao Yiwei praised.

"This is a matter within the scope of my subordinates, and it is also the result of everyone's close cooperation."

"You see, young people are more talkative." Bao Yiwei said to Shen Lushui.

Shen Lushui responded with a smile: "This is not what his subordinates taught him to say."

Bao Yiwei joked and continued: "I asked you to come here today on the one hand because I want to meet you, and on the other hand I want to inform you of the reward arrangements."

"yes."

"First, the Military Commission's Office of Military Affairs will award you the rank of lieutenant on behalf of the government."

"Thank you to the party-state for cultivating me."

Song Shutang did not expect to obtain the rank of Quanxu.

The rank of Quanxu is awarded by the Quanxu Office on behalf of the government, not directly by the military. Once obtained, it is held for life and will not be affected by retirement.

It's just that there is a year limit for promotion to the Quanxu military rank. You cannot be promoted to a military rank before the number of years has passed, regardless of the position. This is often referred to as "stop years", which refers to the number of years you must stay in a certain military rank, which is the minimum number of years to serve as an official.

It takes one and a half years for a second lieutenant to be promoted to a lieutenant, two years for a lieutenant to become a captain, four years for a captain to become a major, three years for a major to become a colonel, four years for a colonel to become a major general, three years for a major general to become a lieutenant general, and three years for a lieutenant general to become a general.

However, such a "year-off" restriction is not in line with the current war situation. Officers have suffered serious casualties in combat. Officers are promoted to take over the position, but the rank is too low and the position is too high.

Therefore, there is also a job rank.

As the name suggests, it is a military rank linked to the position held and is an ancillary product of the Quanxu military rank.

The position remains as long as the military rank exists, and the position will be revoked when the rank is lost.

Ranks may be appointed at any time rather than conferred.

Song Shutang originally thought that the military rank he received should also be a positional military rank, but he did not expect that it was a Quanxu military rank.

The Quanxu military rank is much more difficult to obtain than the job rank. The Quanxu military rank will be comprehensively evaluated based on seniority, military exploits, years of service, military positions, status, and prestige. Therefore, do not underestimate the rank of lieutenant. It is not easy to obtain.

He jumped from second lieutenant to lieutenant, and was awarded so quickly. It must be someone from within the bureau who came to help. This includes not only the intelligence department's contribution to catching Japanese spies, but also his contribution to the Sword Holding Team.

Bao Yiwei then said: "At the same time, the bureau has appointed you to the position of deputy leader of a group in the Intelligence Section, with the rank of captain."

I just mentioned the job rank and now the job rank is here.

The rank of captain!

On the same level as Zhu Yue.

Shen Lushui's military rank is major.

Bao Yiwei's military rank is major general.

At such an age, Song Shutang already has a high rank of captain. The main reason is that he has made meritorious service this time, otherwise the bureau headquarters would not appoint him with the rank of captain.

It is also related to the fact that Quan Xu's military rank is lieutenant, and most of his job ranks are higher than Quan Xu's military rank.

The most important thing is that the job rank can be promoted more easily, and as the position increases, the military rank will also increase accordingly.
