Ballistic Silence of Special Years

"You should have made it clearer to him."

In the company headquarters, Seriously said to Zhuang Yan: "In the past two years, your brigade will increase a lot of technical personnel, and many of them are technical non-commissioned officers and backbones from other troops. From a realistic point of view, the possibility of Hou Jun's promotion is close to zero. Unless there is a miracle."

Majestic did not speak.

There are serious reasons for what he said seriously, but he still didn't want to make it too clear. He has been a soldier for so many years, and he said that he is a soldier, but men also have feelings.

Not to mention, I can still leave a thought for Hou Jun, maybe there will be a miracle.

The old comrade-in-arms seriously saw Zhuang Yan's careful thinking, and finally sighed: "It seems that our brigade commander Zhuang Da loves soldiers like his son."

Zhuang Yan wryly smiled and said, "Old Yan, do you remember the old Xu?"

The old Xu in his mouth refers to Xu Xingguo, an old comrade and old enemy who came out of the same recruit company with himself and Seriously, and served in the special brigade together.

Seriously startled slightly, nodded and said: "Back then?"

Flying in his mind, remembering.

Finally remembered.

"You mean that when he participated in the selection, he was injured and concealed it?"

Solemnly said: "Yes. You were born into a military family, and it is your destiny to serve as an officer in the army. What about me? When I was a soldier, my family couldn't manage me. I was sent to be disciplined by the army. To put it bluntly, my family conditions are good Even if you don’t go to the military academy and don’t work, you can live a happy life when you go home. What about Lao Xu? He is different. His hometown is in a remote old area, and he is very poor. For us, being a soldier may be an ideal or an experience. , but for him it is an opportunity to change his life. Can it be the same?"

With a serious sigh, he acquiesced to the solemn statement.

"report!"

Hou Jun's voice came from the door.

The two looked up and saw Hou Jun was already standing at the door of the tent.

"come in."

Solemnly waited for Hou Jun to arrive in front of him, and asked him, "Have you made a decision?"

Hou Jun said without any hesitation: "Brigade Commander, I won't be a driver anymore."

Not going means staying.

Seriously, he couldn't help but said, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to think about it again? Young man, opportunities are rare, and sometimes seizing opportunities is also very important for your military career."

Hou Jun said: "Thank you, chief, for your concern. I know it would be a good idea to go with you, but just now I thought about it, why did I become a soldier? That's right, I am not noble. When I was a soldier, I just wanted the army to break through I am not afraid that you will laugh at me, I thought about being a general..."

Serious and solemn looked at each other and smiled.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Seriously said: "I also had this ideal at the beginning."

Hou Jun said: "But I have been in the combat army for so many years. If I go to be a driver with you, all the things I have learned in these years will be useless. Besides, I really like the current life. To work in the army for a long time, but not to choose a way I don't like to achieve it, if I really do that, the goal will lose its meaning to me.” …

After hearing Hou Jun's words, Zhuang Yan knew that he had indeed thought clearly.

The "soldier" in Hou Jun's eyes is the current "soldier", not the kind of "soldier" who returns to the headquarters with seriousness and is finally promoted to a logistics cadre through being a driver.

In the eyes of everyone, the spectrum of the word "congjun" is different.

"Okay." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "As long as it's your own choice, it's fine if you don't regret it."

Hou Jun was touched and said: "Brigade Commander, I have let down all your hard work. I know that you deliberately arranged this matter for me. This time I will mention it..."

Speaking of which, stop.

After gritting his teeth, Hou Jun continued: "I have been a soldier for nine years, and I don't regret it."

After speaking, he saluted the two of them, turned and left.

Seriously looking at the back of Hou Jun leaving, he said with emotion: "Good soldier..."

At this time, the security phone rang.

Zhuang Yan hurriedly took it out, saw that it was a military code, and quickly connected it.

After listening to the call, he said seriously: "It seems that I have to rush back."

Seriously asked: "In the army?"

Zhuang Yan said: "Yes, it is said that there is an important meeting, let me go back to the meeting."

He looked at his watch seriously, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Solemnly said: "The sooner the better."

Seriously said: "Then just wait a moment, I was going back to the headquarters too, and we will go together by helicopter later."

"No problem." Said solemnly.

……

Early the next morning.

A meeting room of the Army Group Headquarters.

When Zhuang Yan came in, he saw that the brigade commander of the Engineering Brigade of Group D Army was also there, so he said hello and found a seat for himself to sit down.

The brigade commander of the engineering brigade was Guo Ren, and when he saw Zhuang Yan sitting down, he began to type: "Brigade Commander Zhuang, I heard that the soldiers of your brigade destroyed a tactical unit of the Blood Wolf Commando during the actual confrontation the night before yesterday?"

Majestic was taken aback.

He didn't expect the news to reach Guo Ren's ears so quickly, so he asked, "Brigade Commander Guo, you are very well informed!"

Guo Ren said: "Hey, it's not a secret, but it's explosive news. It's spread all over the headquarters. Everyone says you're embarrassing for our army commander."

Solemn suddenly realized.

The first company is the commando team of the Tiger Brigade, which represents the face of the D Group Army. This time, the squad of the Blood Wolf Brigade came to participate in the confrontation exercise. Defeated, it would be strange if it didn't become news.

However, Zhuang Yan did not want to talk about this matter. After all, there is an element of luck in it, and it is not completely crushed by strength. There is nothing worth showing off, so he looked around and changed the subject: "What's the point of calling us for a meeting in such a hurry this time?" something?"

Guo Ren said: "It seems that you are not in the brigade during this time?"

Recently, Zhuang Yan did go to Yilian's training ground.

So nodding in default.

Guo Renshen said mysteriously: "Good thing, we have the opportunity to go abroad to perform missions."

"Going abroad to perform a mission?" Zhuang Yan was a little surprised.

Guo Ren didn't see much surprise on Zhuangyan's face, and was a little disappointed. In fact, he didn't know that Zhuangyan had rich experience in this field. Not to mention going abroad to perform missions, he had studied in foreign special operations colleges for two years. …

Guo Ren said: "Yes, I heard that it is a peacekeeping mission. This year it is the turn of our military region to send personnel."

Zhuang Yan understood. No wonder Guo Ren, the commander of the engineer brigade, also came to the meeting, and since he has experience in peacekeeping, it is no wonder that the leader invited him here.

If it is true that the special warfare brigade sends people, the number of people is estimated to not be too many. After all, the general peacekeeping mission is a battalion of troops. Because of the nature of the mission, there are not too many combatants. Generally, only one The quick response platoon is responsible for security and security tasks, while the engineering company is the main engineering company on the engineer side, and will also assist the quick response platoon to perform some daily sentry duties.

The two chatted for a while, and other people came to the meeting room one after another, communication, equipment, support, and hospital, all came to the heat.

After a few pleasantries, Qi Heng, Chief of Staff of the Army, also arrived.

"See if everyone is here, and we will have a meeting when we are all here."

He asked the officer next to him to check the participants against the list of participants, and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked the officer to send documents to everyone, and then went straight to the point.

"The thing is like this. At the invitation of the United Nations, in order to maintain the security and stability of the African region, our country decided to send a peacekeeping force to country L to participate in the UN's local peacekeeping operations. The Military Commission issued a dispatch task to our military region and will form an engineering unit The mission was dispatched to the engineering regiment of our army, and a medical unit was formed under the jurisdiction of the military region, and together with the engineering unit, they went to country M, requiring us to be ready for the expedition at any time..."
