Chapter 345: Cannot Encourage

Looking at these guys with smiling faces, Andre suddenly felt extremely sick in his heart. The army and local governments have always had to maintain good relations. Needless to say, the electricity in the military camps is pulled from the local government. If there is a disagreement with the local government and the water and electricity are cut off, the army will not be able to bear it.

However, in the Soviet Union, this kind of atmosphere is absolutely not allowed. These guys came to bribe me right after I got off the plane! They must know that my wife is in the Kremlin, working with General Secretary Andropov, so they gave gifts to his wife through me!

This kind of trend must not be encouraged!

Thinking of this, Andrei sent the box back: "Comrade Hudaiberdiev, I am a party member. The party constitution stipulates that I cannot accept any gifts. Please take it back. If there is a next time, I can only hand it over to my superiors."

After that, Andre said to the adjutant beside him: "Who is the commander of this base? This is a military stronghold. No unauthorized people can be allowed in without the permission of the military district. Now, dismiss this commander!"

Act with vigor and determination! The Turkestan Military Region has been peaceful for too long, and the people here have forgotten about war preparations! Military strongholds, can anyone just come in? Even the leaders of the republics here cannot!

A guy at the end of the welcoming queue suddenly changed his expression. This guy was the commander of this base. He never expected that he would be dismissed during this welcoming ceremony!

The smile on Rashidov's face froze instantly. He had already prepared for this welcome ceremony. His deputy gave him a gift and then took him to the welcome banquet. There was also a unique ballet performance. There were several actors in it, all of whom were carefully selected by him.

But he didn't expect that the newly appointed military commander would not buy into his tricks! He seemed to hear his face being slapped, which was simply a provocation to his bottom line!

Andrei got on a military vehicle and disappeared from everyone's sight. Next to Rashidov, Khudaiberdiev took the box and spat fiercely on the ground.

"Bah! What a thing! Just a mere major general! If you really piss us off, we'll make you disappear in a minute!"

"Khudaiberdyev, don't talk nonsense. This General Andrei comes from the Far Eastern Military Region and is very trusted by the General Secretary. This is no longer the era of General Secretary Leonid. We must be careful!" Rashidov watched Andrei leave and gritted his teeth secretly.

Things are not like before, we need to be more restrained! According to the news from Moscow, the General Secretary is planning an anti-corruption storm, and we cannot let him be the first to get beaten.

"Who is this Rashidov?" Sitting in the car, Andrei asked his deputy, Nikolaynovich, deputy commander of the Turkestan Military Region.

"Oh, he is a staunch member of the Communist Party of China. He has been the general secretary of Uzbekistan for nearly 20 years. He has no ill intentions. He just wants to express his welcome and respect to you. As you know, this is very popular..."

Having said this, Nikolainovich stopped. He keenly sensed that something was wrong. The young general next to him was looking at him with a cold look.

What happened? Did I say something wrong?

"No matter what my predecessor did," Andrei said word by word, "as soldiers, it is our duty to defend the motherland. We also set aside all kinds of interest relations with the local governments. If anyone attempts to collude with the local government and secretly seek benefits, I will personally send him to the anti-corruption department of the KGB. This is my first order, and I will issue it immediately after arriving at the military region."

The atmosphere in the car grew a little cold, and Nikolainovich was keenly aware that General Andrei was suppressing his anger.

In the Far East, due to the external threats at any time, the corruption of the army was still within the controllable range, but here in the Turkestan Military Region, the corruption has reached the point where it cannot be controlled! Andre could almost guess how much benefit his predecessor and the deputy next to him had gained!

If the army is like this, what kind of combat effectiveness will it have? Unconsciously, Andre thought of the previous Alert incident again. The main reason was still corruption!

The army does not interfere in local affairs. No matter how corrupt these local people are, General Secretary Andropov will naturally deal with them. As for me, the first thing I have to do is to reorganize the army. It seems that I need to go to the grassroots more often recently!

If there are big problems with the army, then I can only apply to transfer some personnel in the Far East to carry out a thorough reform here.

While thinking, Andre looked at the scenery on the street, and soon he arrived at the headquarters.

"General Andrei, are you really not planning to find a place to live in the city?" After hesitating for a while, Nikolainovich asked when getting off the car.

"I can live in the headquarters." Andrei said, "We soldiers are not here to enjoy ourselves. The army will lose its fighting power in this extravagant atmosphere. Immediately organize a study session in the army on the content of the rectification of discipline from Moscow!"

This boss seems to be very difficult to get along with! Nikolainovich thought to himself, how many years have we not fought a war here? There is not even a border friction! Is it necessary to be so serious?

………

Isfahan, Iran.

The scorching sun shines on the ground. The weather in Isfahan is extremely hot, and in the nearby desert, the heat wave is even more severe.

However, as the Royal Iranian Air Force, they are not afraid of the hot weather, not to mention that the base here has sufficient cooling facilities.

Standing in the waiting room, Captain Abolfazl-Hushiyar of the Royal Iranian Air Force, holding his flight cap, looked through the glass at the fighter planes on the runway.

Khatami Base was named in memory of General Khatami, a legendary figure of the Royal Iranian Air Force who died in a gliding accident in 1975. It is also a new base built to receive new fighter jets from the United States. There are almost only F-14s here.

As a member of the second batch of Iranian Royal Air Force pilots to go to the United States to switch to flying F-14 fighter jets, Abolfazl is an excellent pilot who is proficient in operating F-14 fighter jets. Since he has been flying this most advanced American fighter jet, he has fallen in love with flying even more. He feels extremely proud and proud to fly this huge and sleek fighter jet and cruise over the vast mountains of Iran.

But now…
