Chapter 356 Liu Junhui seeks benefits for grassroots officers and soldiers
Hearing this, Zhou Huaying said to Liu Junhui, "Huihui, go talk to Yonggang. I can wash the dishes by myself."
"Okay, mother."
Liu Junhui came to the living room and sat next to Li Yonggang.
Li Yonggang was afraid of suffocating Junhui and wanted to put out the cigarette, but Liu Junhui said, "It's okay, go ahead and smoke it!"
Li Yonggang took a small puff of his cigarette and asked, "Junhui, what's going on?"
Liu Junhui looked at Yonggang and said, "I originally planned to fund the sculpture for Xiang Guodong alone, but later the military wives also contributed money.
Commander Qing, out of concern for the lives of the military wives, refused to let us pay.
I was touched by the old commander's concern, and I still wanted to contribute to the army."
Li Yonggang nodded and asked, "Then how do you plan to contribute?"
Liu Junhui said: "Last year I lived in the 1st Battalion of the Marine Division for a period of time, and I found that the sanitary facilities of the troops were too simple.
The toilet and shower room are connected and built with stones from the mountain. It leaks everywhere and there is no water heater installed.
Therefore, I would like to ask our Coastal Fisheries Group to fund a complete renovation of your brigade's sanitary facilities."
Liu Junhui thought that this was for the sake of the officers and soldiers, and also to support Yonggang's work, and Yonggang would be very happy to hear it.
Unexpectedly, Li Yonggang frowned and said, "Junhui, there is no need for this.
The army advocates hard work, which is to allow officers and soldiers to train and grow in difficult environments!"
Liu Junhui was not disappointed by Yonggang. After all, Yonggang lived in this era, and his thinking was far different from that of the 1930s.
She smiled and patiently explained: "Yonggang, my idea is different from yours. The training and growth of officers and soldiers mainly depends on daily training, not on living a hard life.
Only when officers and soldiers eat well, live well, and have good supplies can they have better physical fitness and a better mentality.
Improving sanitary facilities can make soldiers' lives more comfortable, which helps boost their morale."
Li Yonggang still shook his head: "Junhui, the army has its own characteristics. There is no precedent for individuals paying for the construction of living facilities. We can't set this precedent."
Liu Junhui continued patiently, "Yonggang, you should have sensed that the times are changing rapidly, and the army can accept some support from the outside world.
This does not damage the dignity of the army, but rather reflects my support for the development of the army.
Besides, I just want to do my bit, and I won't report it to my superiors or make it public."
After listening to Junhui, Li Yonggang felt that what Junhui said made sense, but he still had some concerns.
Liu Junhui thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Luo Can, General Manager of the Coastal Fisheries Group, Tao Xingyue, Deputy General Manager of the Xinsheng Fisheries Company, and I will go to the Marine Division Logistics Department to present our proposal and see what they think."
When Li Yonggang heard this, his face suddenly brightened up, "Well, good, there's no problem now!
By the way, since you went to the Logistics Department to discuss this, if your group has the resources, I suggest that you not only renovate the sanitary facilities of the First Battalion, but also renovate the sanitary facilities of all the battalions in the Marine Division!"
There are a total of six battalions in the Marine Division. If the sanitary facilities of all the battalions in the Marine Division are renovated, the cost will be six times as much.
Liu Junhui said, "That's fine, but I need to discuss it with a few people at the top of the group."
"it is good!"
After the matter was settled, Li Yonggang rushed back to the army.
The next morning, Liu Junhui, Luo Can, and Tao Xingyue came to the logistics department of the Marine Division.
They went directly to the logistics minister Huang Lijun.
Upon hearing this, Minister Huang Lijun tightly shook Liu Junhui's hand, his face filled with excitement. "You are truly a timely help! The sanitary facilities of these brigades should have been renovated long ago!"
The soldiers train very hard every day, but even basic hygiene conditions are difficult to guarantee. I am always worried!"
Luo Can, standing nearby, smiled and said, "We all want to do our part. After all, it's not easy for soldiers to defend the country."
Huang Lijun nodded hurriedly, his eyes shining. "Hurry up and sit down. Let's discuss the specific plan."
Then he asked the orderly to bring him some hot tea.
Liu Junhui took out the plan she had prepared and handed it to Huang Lijun. "Minister Huang, this is the preliminary plan, including the budget and ideas for adding modern bathing facilities and improving the restroom environment."
Huang Lijun carefully read the plan, becoming increasingly satisfied. He exclaimed in admiration from time to time, "Chairman Liu, you've thought this through so thoroughly! If this plan is implemented, it will definitely greatly improve the soldiers' living comfort."
The matter is settled.
Huang Lijun stood up and said, "I will report this good news to Commander Qing immediately. As soon as your funding arrives, the logistics department will immediately arrange for the engineering team to enter the site for construction."
When Liu Junhui and the other three were about to leave, Commander Huang Lijun said, "You are here to help the troops in their time of need. How can you leave without eating?"
Minister Huang kept the three of them and had a good meal in the logistics department cafeteria.
During the dinner, Minister Huang implicitly asked when the funds would be available.
Liu Junhui glanced at Luo Can and asked him to express his opinion.
Luo Can immediately said, "Minister, it will be here tomorrow!"
Minister Huang was very happy: "This is great. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Marine Division, who can help you?
The funds will be in place tomorrow, and construction will begin the day after tomorrow!"
The next day, the funds arrived on time.
“All sanitary facilities need to be upgraded!”
The officers and soldiers of the entire Marine Division were overjoyed.
The officers and soldiers were immersed in an excited atmosphere and were discussing the upcoming sanitary facilities renovation project.
Minister Huang also acted decisively. On the morning of the third day, the construction team drove into the Marine Division camp in a mighty manner.
The workers carried tools and materials, and they were all full of energy.
The Marine Division Command ordered that all officers and soldiers, except those on duty and in training, should participate in the renovation of sanitary facilities.
Following Minister Huang's order, the renovation of sanitary facilities in various areas started simultaneously.
The dilapidated shower rooms and toilets were all demolished and neat shower rooms and toilets were built.
In the toilet, the cement ditch disappeared and was replaced with brand new white ceramic sanitary ware.
The rusty water pipes in the bathroom were replaced with shiny stainless steel pipes, and rows of faucets gleamed silver.
The shower room has been rearranged to be spacious and bright, and the newly installed shower head seems to indicate a comfortable bathing experience.
Liu Junhui, Luo Can and Tao Xingyue also came to the construction site. Looking at the bustling scene in front of them, they felt a sense of accomplishment.
Three days later, all officers and soldiers of the Marine Division were using the new sanitary facilities.
……
Five days later, in the afternoon.
Liu Junhui, Luo Can, Tao Xingyue, and other senior executives of the group were having a meeting in the conference room when they suddenly heard the enthusiastic sound of gongs and drums coming from outside.
