They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 176: Award, one cent
"It's done."

Chen Ming's eyes flickered slightly, indicating that he was extremely uneasy inside. He was awarded the title.

No matter how calm he behaves, he cannot deny that he really cares about becoming an officer. He has been planning it since he was in the recruit company and from the moment he entered the military camp. He has been planning for nearly two years.

It's finally time to confer the title.

call!
Chen Ming's heart was full of excitement at this time, just as the poet said: When the forest is deep, you can see deer, and when the sea is blue, you can see whales.When he wakes up from the dream, his long-awaited plan is about to become a reality.

After nearly two years of hard work, it doesn’t matter how much I go through.

At this moment, no one seemed to notice Chen Ming's thoughts. Everyone was immersed in their own worlds. Wei Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that successfully completing the task was undoubtedly the most ideal result for him.

Macro smiled and put the project documents into a brown paper bag and prepared to seal them. The college could not keep these documents, and the Sharp Sword Plan followed the withdrawal of the first batch of pilot personnel.

At that time, the personal information of all their members, as well as their achievements, including their performance after returning to the army, will be sent to the military headquarters one by one.

The higher-ups have put so much effort into it, so it’s impossible to ignore it.

We will follow up in the follow-up to see how they perform. Since sharpening the sword is a long-term plan, the people above will naturally have their own plans.

Chen Ming's performance has not yet been noticed by the superiors. Even if they are noticed, he has no source of information now. The Eastern Theater Exchange Team has only stayed here for three months.

I had returned to the army four months ago.

Qi Zhanting, the instructor of the Lijian group, saw the document sealed, walked up to Chen Ming, smiled and patted his shoulder: "That's right, little comrade, you have a very broad mind and are very good at thinking."

"I noticed you from the time you did the first project. In the information warfare project, you assumed there was an opponent. In the army command project, you still assumed the opponent. The project created this way is indeed more convincing."

"It would be great if the students in other groups could understand this principle like you, instead of focusing on the subject itself."

"Thank you, mentor, for the compliment." Chen Ming raised his hand in salute, happily accepting the compliment.

Many students do projects, especially war-related projects, without assuming the opponent. He also knows this. Wasn't it the same when Group [-] first started talking about information warfare?

Synthesis only talks about the existing resources of the army, and information warfare only talks about communication and coordination methods. This is not to say that such research is not possible, but that military technology, whether it is production, research and development, or theory, is not just for the sake of looking good.

Otherwise, why spend so much military spending?
Could it be said that the country produces guns just for soldiers to practice target shooting?Running five kilometers on your back?Is it just for fun to form a Blue Army unit to specialize in studying the fighting methods of foreign armies?

A small-scale exercise can easily cost billions, and it is certainly not for fun.

All military science and technology are born for the purpose of fighting. They are targeted to the terrain, region, climate, and all aspects. If the subject only discusses the internals, what is the difference between talking about it on paper?

If you don’t treat the enemy as a hypothesis, then the enemy’s assumptions will target you from time to time. This is a very simple truth, but it is often ignored.

Chen Ming noticed this and stood up to refute it on the first day he came here, and successfully served as the deputy team member.

"Keep up the good work, little comrade." Qi Zhanting encouraged him and left with several other instructors.

Macro put the sealed cowhide documents into the cabinet, and the project establishment certificate was also put into the cabinet.

He picked up a stack of red certificates from the table and took out the seals from the drawer, preparing to write graduation certificates for Chen Ming and the others.

Under normal circumstances, graduates like Chen Ming do not have graduation certificates, and their tutors can arrange graduation.

Undergraduate graduates like Wei Wenbo are basically awarded the same title as second lieutenant by promotion. Without special contributions or performance, undergraduate graduates will no longer be directly awarded lieutenants as before.

Brush brush! !

The sound of the pen writing continues. The graduation certificate has your name, the signature of the instructor, and the seal of the School of Information Engineering of HKUST. This thing is just a formality and of no use.

Personal information has already been entered into the system.

But for Chen Ming, even if it was useless, he was still very happy when he got the certificate. The bright red cover had the school emblem of the National University of Defense Technology printed on the front, and the four gilded characters "Certificate of Completion" were paired with two Silver-white wheat ears hold up the five-pointed star.

Chen Ming gently touched the raised word "August [-]st" on the five-pointed star, feeling endless emotions in his heart.

Not easy.

According to the list, Macro wrote down the completion certificates of all the promotion personnel in the seven groups and handed them to Chen Ming.

He smiled and said, "Okay, your tasks in the college have been completed. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, someone will come over to confer titles on you in the auditorium of the undergraduate college. Don't be late and wear regular uniforms."

"Everyone dress up and look smart."

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"After the award is over, you can pack your things and report back to your original unit. The army will also receive the news. Don't run around and report back to your brigade headquarters first."

"Then the army will arrange a place for you to train for two months. According to the normal process, you should be awarded the title after the training and a period of internship in the company. But this year, due to special circumstances, you will be awarded the title together with undergraduate graduates."

"Yes, teacher."

"Wenbo."

"arrive."

"You are different from Chen Ming and the others. You may have to wait a few days, but the titles will be awarded together."

"Wait for the next allocation notification from the college. The person in charge of your college will notify you of the specific location."

"Yes."

"Comrades, because of the establishment of the Sword Sharpening Group, I have been your mentor for a period of time, but from this moment on, our seventh group has been officially disbanded."

"The awarding of a title is not the end, the oath is only the beginning. Once you are a soldier, you will always be a soldier. Once you join the army, your life will be glorious. My children, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you, instructor!!"

Chen Ming and Wei Wenbo roared in response.

"Go ahead, your performance is very good. I hope that after returning to the army, you can still maintain this momentum. People who come out of the sword-sharpening team should take responsibility and move forward courageously." Wan Jiale encouraged him with a few words of relief.

He handed all the graduation certificates to Chen Ming and asked him to pass them to the other members of the seventh group. The two saluted again and strode out of the instructor's office.

On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Ming looked up at the blue sky and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. When he came to the National University of Defense Technology, it was June last year and the weather was already hot.

Seven or eight months have passed in a hurry, and it is spring again, and the recruitment season of the new year has arrived.

And he will be in the army for two years in about half a year. He is 21 years old this year and will be awarded the title tomorrow.

Chen Ming slowly raised his arm and spread his fingers, letting the sun shine through his fingers. The golden light shone on his face, adding a sunny and handsome aura to him.

21 years old, the future is bright! ! !

45:[-] am the next day.

Chen Ming brought seven groups, a total of 22 people, to the auditorium of the undergraduate college. Today is the awarding ceremony for them.

The auditorium of the National University of Defense Technology is very large. It was so big that more than 20 of them walked in and it was inconspicuous.

But it was very small, perhaps because of the deliberate arrangement by the college. In the auditoriums on the left and right, hundreds of students were sitting there, watching a group of people walk in at the entrance of the auditorium.

The awarding of a title is also a coming-of-age ceremony for a soldier, and it should have an audience and witnesses.

Step on.
More than 20 people wearing regular clothes and leather shoes walked neatly to the middle of the auditorium and stood there.

"turn right."

"stand at attention."

Chen Ming gave the order, clasped his fists and ran to the high platform of the auditorium, saluting.

"Report, there should be 22 members of the Seventh Sword Team, but there are actually 22 people. The duty officer Chen Ming is performing his duties. Please give instructions."

"Entry."

"Yes."

A senior colonel on the stage glanced at all the members of the seven groups, nodded, and picked up a roster.

"After research and decision by the school, the following comrades have performed well during their studies at the school and will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant."

"Comrade who hears the name, come on stage."

After the colonel finished speaking, the loud military music sounded. At this moment, Chen Ming felt that his soul was trembling, as if he resonated with it.

The loud singing rushed out of the auditorium and into the sky. The excitement in my heart, the pressure of many days, and the responsibility all appeared at this moment.

this moment.

finally come.

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"Wei Wenbo."

"arrive."

"Su Zitao."

"arrive."

"Sun Longhui."

"arrive."

The names of the seven group members were called one by one. Since the number of people awarded the titles was relatively small, the school leaders on the stage did not arrange for them to wear military titles on each other.

Instead, the leaders on the stage stood up and personally wore it for the college.

The bright red certificate was sent to Chen Ming again, this time it was not a graduation certificate.

Instead, it is a letter of command conferring the rank of second lieutenant.

The cadet rank with one bar on Chen Ming's shoulders was removed and replaced with the rank of second lieutenant with one bar and one star.

Looking at the twinkling stars inlaid on his epaulettes, Chen Ming couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Although he has suffered a lot for this for more than a year, when this bright star hangs on his shoulders, all his efforts have turned into endless glory and value.

In just one and a half years, he went through many hardships and gradually completed the magnificent transformation from recruit to private, and from cadet to second lieutenant.

The sense of accomplishment deep in his heart can only be felt by Chen Ming himself.

"Everyone turn back."

"Facing the flag."

"I swear!"

"I swear to obey the leadership of the military, serve the people wholeheartedly, obey orders, be loyal to my duties, strictly observe discipline, keep secrets, be brave and tenacious, and not afraid of sacrifice."

The sound of the oath echoed in the majestic national anthem, like a sharp sword breaking through the sky, pointing straight into the sky.

At this moment, Chen Ming completed his transformation from private to officer, and also completed the goal he had been working towards since entering the army.

However, the award of title is only a new starting point, and the second lieutenant is only the prelude to a new chapter.
