Chapter 354 355 [Thousands of miles to build a long shed, there is no banquet that never ends]

   Entering July, what Xiang Nan has been looking forward to has finally arrived.

  One day, the political commissar called Xiang Nan and the two captains to the office.

   "Just received an order from the military region, all the art troupes at the military division level have been abolished, and our art troupe has also been disbanded." He said solemnly, "The chief asked us to complete this task within half a month."

   "What?! How is it possible! The art troupe has been around for so many years, how could it be possible to withdraw immediately?"

   "The art troupe has withdrawn, what should we do? It's impossible, impossible, political commissar, don't joke about it."

  The two captains were all excited when they heard this.

  They have worked in the art troupe for more than 20 years, and they have regarded this place as their home. Now that the art troupe is disbanded, what should they do?

   Changing jobs? Where are you going? If they don't change jobs and stay in the army, they only know how to sing and dance. Which military branch will take them in?

   "I will be transferred to the headquarters to work. Liu Feng has several art troupes on secondment, and all other members of the troupe will be transferred." The political commissar explained.

  Hearing what he said, the two captains cried to death.

   Seeing this, Liu Feng and the political commissar tried to appease them, but it didn't help much. The two team leaders were still hit hard.

"Liu Feng, look, how should we pass on this news?" The political commissar looked at Xiang Nandao in embarrassment, "The captain can't bear it, let alone those team members. If we don't handle it well and everyone gets angry, we will It’s not easy to explain to the superiors.”

  Xiang Nan nodded.

  At that time, enlisting in the army was both an honor and a great opportunity. Especially for rural children, joining the army has greatly improved their quality of life and wages.

  Most rural children, before enlisting in the army, did not even eat a full meal or wear a new piece of clothing. Therefore, the army is like heaven to them.

   Now that the art troupe is abolished, they will change jobs and return to the local area. Soldiers whose families live in the city can still enter factories and government agencies after returning home, while children in rural areas can only go home to work in agriculture, and their livelihood and income will plummet.

   Therefore, they must have emotions in their hearts.

  As the head of the troupe, how to stand on the last post, how to properly appease the emotions of the soldiers, and let them accept the fact that the art troupe was disbanded really tested his wisdom.

   "Let's do this, political commissar, let's not rush to announce, first let the wind out, and vaccinate the big guys, so that they have a psychological preparation.

   Pay attention to observe again to see who has higher resistance, and then we will talk to them individually to calm their emotions. "Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Then, let's formally announce the order. "

  The political commissar nodded when he heard it. This idea is still very safe.

  …

  On the same day, the art troupe began to spread gossip.

   "I heard that the chief wants to disband our art troupe."

   "Nonsense, how is it possible? The art troupe has been around for so long, how could it be possible to just disband?"

   "I heard that the higher-ups are planning to cut down the army, not only our art troupe, but even the regular army."

   "The cavalry regiment was disbanded, no matter how long the art troupe is, it can't compare with the cavalry regiment, right?"

   "Oops, it's really going to be disbanded, so what should we do?"

   "Father dies, mother marries, one person cares about one's own. Anyway, I'm tired of being together, so it's good to disband, so I don't have to be detained."

   "Of course you are fine. After you change jobs, you can still enter the factory. After we change jobs, we have to go back to the countryside and farm!"

  The soldiers talked a lot.

Some people don't care, just eat, drink and have fun as usual; some people feel like the sky is falling, some people turn into 007 and spy everywhere; some people run around to find a way out for themselves; …

  For a while, the art troupe had the attitude of "husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes".

  …

  Xiang Nan and the political commissar watched coldly, suppressing the troublemakers.

  Those people planned to go to the military region to petition, hoping to keep the establishment of the art troupe.

  A thorny head like this must take measures. Otherwise, if they really went to the military region, the two of them would have to take the blame.

"It's not the head of the military region who made this decision, but the head above it. It's useless for you to go to the military region to petition." Xiang Nan persuaded, "The reason why the higher-ups made this order is because the military expenditure is really serious. is too big.

  The country now has four million troops. Do you know the annual military expenditure? Do you understand how much such a large military expenditure is a burden to the country?

   Besides, the war is over now. Our relations with Soviet Russia and the United States have also eased. Large-scale wars are unlikely to break out for some time in the future, so it is useless to raise so many troops and must be abolished.

   In the first two years, the cavalry was abolished. Now it's our art troupe's turn. In a few years, even the regular army will be abolished.

  Don’t feel like the sky is falling. Now the rural areas have begun to implement the joint production contract responsibility system, and each household is assigned its own field. I plant my own fields, no need to earn work points, and all the products produced in the fields are my own. As long as you are willing to work, you can have enough food.

   Moreover, you have the status of demobilized soldiers. After you go back, you can still participate in the recruitment of county and township enterprises, and you will be given priority in entering the factory. Now the collective economy is also doing very well, and wages are not lower than those in the city.

  But if you make trouble, you will record it in the file later. At that time, it will not be your part to recruit workers, so don't ruin your future. "

  Xiang Nan was presenting the facts and reasoning again, and hitting a sweet date with a stick, finally settled all these thorns.

   Then he and the political commissar called everyone together and officially announced the disbandment of the art troupe.

  Although everyone was mentally prepared, after hearing the news, they all burst into tears.

   "Why are you disbanding, why are you disbanding?"

   "I really miss everyone!"

   "Commander Liu, I really don't want to leave!"

  Everyone cried and howled, very excitedly.

"Everyone, don't cry. As the saying goes, if you build a long shed for thousands of miles, there is no banquet that will never end." Xiang Nan persuaded, "I know that everyone has stayed in the art troupe for a long time, and they have deep feelings for the art troupe. It is normal to be reluctant to meet so many comrades-in-arms in the art and industry union.

  To be honest, I also miss everyone. But obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier. If the military region tells us to disband, we must disband, there is no room for negotiation.

  Don’t be too pessimistic. In fact, the outside world is becoming more and more exciting. You have acquired knowledge, skills, and insights in the art troupe. Even if you leave the art troupe, you will have a bright future.

  As long as you follow the spirit of our army's hard work and self-reliance, you will be able to break through the sky. "
