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

Chapter 273: Marriage order, this trip is really exciting
Gumbling.
The fragrance of tea overflowed, and it made people feel refreshed and comfortable. Chen Ming, who knew nothing about tea ceremony, had to admire it. The tea that the chief served must be good.

Unfortunately, he couldn't drink the cup of tea that was placed in front of him, and he didn't dare to drink it.

It would make sense to say that he had feelings for Chai Shuyao. She was indeed kind to him. If a couple could be made in heaven, it would be a good story.

But he couldn't do it if he was asked to give up his future because of marriage, enter a government agency as a casualty, and run there to provide for retirement at a young age.

Chen Ming was so shrewd that he naturally suspected that this was Chai Yansong's test for him, but who could say that it wasn't his love for his granddaughter?
The government offices are idle and idle, and all the old man wants is for his descendants to sit around and enjoy family happiness. The Chai family has contributed enough to the motherland, and it is understandable that they do not want their youngest granddaughter to suffer.

But what about himself?
If he agrees today, where will he be placed as a comrade in the Tiger and Wolf Battalion who has been fighting together for several months?Chief of Staff Toyohiro Takeshi of the Kyoto Army Command once asked him to continue to escort the rejuvenation of a powerful country as a soldier in the new era. How should he face it?

When conferring major epaulettes, Feng Chunyang, commander-in-chief of the 71st Army, encouraged them to be sword bearers of the future Republic. What should he say?

His former comrades, squad leader, and company commander all had high hopes for him. How could he forget that?

The political commissar and brigade commander of Synthetic 169 did not come out of the old cellar just to send him out. Chen Ming didn't think he was so important. He couldn't continue without him in the Tiger Wolf Camp, and he didn't think the Strategic Assault Division needed a little guy like him. Major.

But he needs these units. He refuses the dragon teeth and the olive branch of the special operations brigade. He wants to return to the field army. It is his interest and his belief.

If you spend your whole life idle in your 20s just to go to an institution for retirement, then what's the use of regaining your youth?
Chen Ming remained silent.

Chai Yansong didn't rush him, and never raised his head to look at him. He felt that the tea in front of him had become cold, so he poured out the old tea and added new tea. The fragrance of the tea was still the same.

But Chen Ming had no intention of enjoying the scent of tea anymore.

He took a deep breath, stood up from the stone bench, stood at attention, and saluted: "Chief, please forgive me for not being able to say this."

"Oh? You don't want to?"

Chai Yansong made a movement in his hands and looked up at Chen Ming, his gaze burning like a torch, very compelling.

"Yes, I don't want to." Chen Ming did not give in at all.

"Chief, I don't want to say that our soldiers should take it as our duty to help the common people and our mission to rejuvenate our country. We should shed our blood with great ambition and ride on the strong wind to break through the waves."

"Such words are too vulgar. I don't want to say that reviving the Long March is peace bought with the blood of martyrs."

"These are not reasons for me to insist."

"Chief, the scar of more than ten centimeters on your forehead was left on the battlefield when you were young, right?"

"Back then, we were weak, the country was weak, and the people were weak. I had nothing to say when we were bullied. But today, we will never allow similar things to happen again from now on. This is the mission of our generation of soldiers."

"If there is still a day when we are bullied, it is a crime that our generation of soldiers cannot escape the blame. I like the field troops and I like to watch the frontline troops becoming stronger and stronger."

"Only there can I find the value of my existence. If I am asked to take a casual job in a government agency to provide for my retirement, then I would rather take off my military uniform and go back to my hometown to support my parents. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Chief, your decision is not wrong, and neither is my choice. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat today's meal even if you see me, so I won't bother you any more."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he saluted again and turned around to leave.

It wasn't that he was so courageous that he dared to be so presumptuous in front of the chief, but it was really impossible for him to agree to those conditions.

As a soldier, there is no conflict between having a family and a career, and protecting your family and country.

Chai Shuyao treated him well, and Chen Ming was very grateful, but it was impossible for him to give up his pursuit just for the sake of gratitude.

"stop."

"You came to me to shout slogans?"

Chai Yansong shouted softly and pointed to the stone bench in front of him: "Sit down."

"Young people are impetuous and it is difficult to become a great person. Now that we are here, let's talk about it after dinner. Let's talk about things later."

"sit."

The noise outside quickly spread to the house. Chai Shuyao had just put on her apron, holding the pot and spatula in her hand, and was about to run to the door to take a look without putting it down.

Yang Lanying grabbed her again and comforted her with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry? Grandpa You has a sense of proportion."

"But it sounds like there's a quarrel?" Chai Shuyao stood on tiptoes and looked outside, a little worried about Chen Ming. She insisted on being a guest. If there was a quarrel, she wouldn't be able to face it later. .

"It's good to have a quarrel. Do you still know your grandfather's temper? He is a stubborn donkey who refuses to go away and is backsliding. If you dare to quarrel with him, it shows that this child has his own opinion and is a good child."

At this time, Yang Lanying did not follow her granddaughter, but took Chai Shuyao back to the kitchen. People who can live with Chai Yansong for the rest of their lives can still distinguish between right and wrong.

Of course they hope to help their granddaughter choose a son-in-law with good character, ability, and attitude. With members of the Chai family around, Chai Shuyao will not suffer any injustice even if they don't choose. But that is not what they want.

The development of a big family requires the joint efforts of every member. Sincerity is the foundation and cannot be careless.

Chen Ming couldn't figure out what Chai Yansong was thinking. He sat upright on the stone bench, still not touching the tea in front of him.

Chai Yansong didn't care. He put on another cup and held it to him with bamboo tweezers.

"Drink, you have quite a bit of backbone, you have traveled hundreds of kilometers to come to me and shout slogans."

"Tell me, how far has your Tiger Wolf Battalion developed so far? What do you think of the establishment of the Strategic Assault Division?"

"But it doesn't matter, don't have any reservations. Sometimes the decisions above may not be correct, nor may they be comprehensive."

"Yes, Chief."

Chen Ming calmed down and temporarily forgot about the topic he had just discussed. He was not a pedantic type and could express his own opinions in front of this big shot.

Even if the other party just gives a little hint, it will be a valuable experience for him.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming opened his mouth and analyzed one by one: "Report to the leader, the Tiger Wolf Battalion is currently under strengthened establishment, and the internal combat companies are being integrated. It will not have much effect in a short period of time."

"But I have some half-baked ideas about the strategic assault division."

"speak."

"Yes."

"In our unit's combat sequence, we already have an exclusive Blue Army imaginary enemy unit, which is specially used to simulate confrontation exercises and imitate the combat characteristics of any army in the world to achieve the purpose of training."

"If we reorganize the same Blue Army unit in the Eastern Theater Command, it will indeed be beneficial from a training perspective, but the scope of this benefit is not large. It is just like the scheduled period, and the number of operations will be more frequent."

"The world's first regular imaginary enemy force was organized by a foreign country in [-]. At that time, it was known as the Foreign Air Force Simulation Brigade. The force learned a lot of experience from many confrontations and its combat effectiveness was greatly improved. , even in an air battle, completely destroying the opponent with a battle loss rate of one to twenty."

"But we cannot copy this model one-to-one, because the system we are currently targeting is relatively large. I think that since the strategic assault division is to be established and since it is to simulate the blue army, it should not copy the existing ones. The Blue Army Way of Fighting.”

"Oh?"

Chai Yansong raised his head and glanced at Chen Ming in surprise. No wonder Chai Shuyao often talked about this little guy with admiration on his face.

Now it seems that the young officer in front of him was able to make a name for himself in the eastern theater, and it was really not luck.

Indeed, during this period of time, people from the Military and Army Headquarters came to the theater for consultations and meetings. They not only had to consider the location and establishment of the Strategic Assault Division.

It is even more important to consider how it is different from the first Blue Army unit, because the necessity of copying is not that high, it costs so much military expenditure, and it consumes so much energy and manpower, if it is just to have one more Blue Army unit.

There is indeed some fuss over the fuss.

I didn't expect that one of the directions discussed in the meeting could be seen by the 20-year-old major in front of me. It was not easy.

When Chai Yansong heard this, he nodded seriously, closed the pottery pot that was making tea, stood up and said, "Follow me."

"Yes."

Chen Ming glanced at the leader quietly and found that the other party was not paying attention to him. He picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

The reason he didn't drink just now was because he couldn't accept Chai Yansong's proposal, but it didn't mean he wasn't thirsty. He drove hundreds of kilometers and came here and talked for a long time.

It's strange if you're not thirsty.

When Chai Yansong heard the movement behind him, he grinned slightly. This boy has a personality.

He knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to measure, and is not rigid. He is a good seedling.

One big and one small, one behind the other, they walked straight into the three-story building.

Chai Shuyao's home has an open kitchen. When she heard the noise, she stretched her head and looked at the door. Her homely outfit in an apron made Chen Ming, who just came in, slightly startled.

He had never seen this outfit before.

Smiling and nodding.

Chai Shuyao looked at him in surprise, her beautiful eyes widened, and she asked silently, just lip-syncing: "Are you okay?"

Seeing her worried look, Chen Ming shook his head and followed Chai Yansong straight into the study.

The study is where Chai Yansong works. On weekdays, his children don't dare to walk in at will, and Chai Shuyao himself rarely goes there.

Now, seeing her grandpa invite Chen Ming into the study, this move made her feel reassured.The speed of selecting dishes has improved a lot.

"What's wrong, Yaoyao, are you so happy?"

Yang Lanying, who was cutting vegetables, noticed her granddaughter's little movements and asked with a smile.

"No, no."

"I saw grandpa taking Chen Ming into the study."

"Haha, right? Let's cook." Yang Lanying smiled heartily, which made her old man take her so seriously. She took Chen Ming to the study with her stubborn temper. It seemed that the two of them had a good chat.

Inside the study.

Chen Ming looked around. It was very tidy inside. The arrangement of various items was exactly the same as in the military camp. The books, including the documents on the table, were neatly arranged.

"sit down."

Chai Yansong pointed to the chair beside him, sitting at the desk where he usually works.

"Yes."

"Well, you just said that you shouldn't copy what the Blues did. I'm very interested. If you have any ideas, just tell me."

"Yes, Chief."

Chen Ming nodded, sorted out his words a little, and said, "I think that if our army wants to become an efficient combat force in the future, it must go through two learning processes."

"The first is to adopt new training methods that are as close to actual combat conditions as possible, and the second is to learn war from war."

"There is a saying in the art of war that cooperation can lead to victory by surprise. In recent wars, special forces have played a key role. In order to train special forces, various units have created many ways of confrontation."

"The first Blue Army unit is also an extension of these methods. I think that since the unit needs to be trained and learn from actual combat, it should not be rigid and follow the scale of the exercise."

"Notice in advance that there is going to be a war, and everyone must be prepared and ready for battle."

"This approach has fallen behind."

"The reason why special forces can consistently maintain a high winning rate and beheading mode on the battlefield is because the troops they target are not prepared in advance."

"No one told them that special forces would come in tonight, but after suffering similar losses many times, our army has gradually learned how to fight against the infiltration of special forces after more than ten years of evolution, and Behead."

"But it was forced and stretched too long."

"Since there is a precedent for learning, and the results have been seen."

"I think that since the strategic assault division is to be established, it should have enough privileges to launch a surprise attack on any unit in the theater at any time, and there should be no exercise plan in advance."

"Because wars often break out suddenly. Only by learning to take a beating and adapting to this pattern can you learn to resist in the shortest time and respond to sudden wars as quickly as possible."

"I've made my point."

Enough privilege.
Chai Yansong was silent for a moment. He understood what Chen Ming meant, which meant that the establishment of a strategic assault division in the eastern theater was to hone the Red Army troops.

Then there is no need to start the drill mode every time and notify in advance that you are coming to fight.

It is completely possible to launch a surprise attack and attack any unit at any time and at any time. Only when the person is hurt or angered can the units react faster and enter the war faster.

It can not only hone the reaction speed of commanders and fighters, but also hone the response ability of all soldiers.

This kind of proposal cannot be said to be impossible, it can only be said that it involves too many areas. Chai Yansong considered it more comprehensively. The eastern theater was so large that without any warning, the missile suddenly took off and aimed at one of the stations.

It's okay once in a while, but if it lasts for a long time, all the troops will be forced to enter the permanent combat readiness force. People's energy is limited, and it is impossible to guard against the attack of the strategic assault division all the time.

As a result, it will inevitably have the opposite effect.

In fact, in the 70s in China, the idea of ​​forming a Blue Army unit was proposed. In [-], a contract tactical training center was established in the Jinling Military Region, becoming the first Blue Army base.

Then the first foreign military simulation camp was born. At that time, the simulation camp strictly followed the foreign military's editorial training. Even the regulations and even the dining tableware were based on the scale of the foreign military.

Later, the Kyoto Military Region also established a Blue Army unit, but the scale was relatively small.

But these left them with a lot of valuable experience. Someone had made assumptions about Chen Ming's proposal a long time ago, but in the end it came to nothing.

On the one hand, the scope was too broad, and on the other hand, the economy at that time was too restricted.

Now that this kind of proposal has been put forward again by Chen Ming, it is not impossible to solve it.

The authority of the Strategic Assault Division cannot be so laissez-faire that it can launch an attack at any time, but it can carry out selected attacks at will within a certain range after notifying each unit of the start of the exercise. This is still feasible.

Regardless of whether Chen Ming's proposal is feasible or not, at least he can think of this step just a few days after the Strategic Assault Division was announced.

It's hard to come by.

Chai Yansong pondered for a moment, pulled out a document on the desk, pushed it to the table, and said, "Take a look, this is the list of personnel submitted by your 71st Army for further training."

"Your name is among them."

"In the second half of the year, the war zone is planning to arrange for a group of officers to go to the National Defense University for further studies. You should go with them."

"But after listening to your opinion just now, I plan to change it. The military region proposes that you go to the Staff College of the National Defense University for further study. If you ask me, don't go to the Staff College."

"Go directly to the Joint Warfare College for further training, and teach me well when you get there."

"The Strategic Assault Division has just been established and has great achievements. I look forward to your performance."

"Of course, the Joint Warfare College arranged for people to go for further training in September, and now it is June. There are still three months in between."

"I hope that during this period, you will take care of your personal affairs and then go to further studies."

"Private matter?!!"

Chen Ming looked up at Chai Yansong blankly, not understanding what private matter he had.

Straighten out the fifth camp?

This is official business.

Seeing Chen Ming's puzzled look, Chai Yansong, who had just calmed down a bit, turned cold again.

"What? You don't want to?"

"Chief, what's my personal matter?" Chen Ming panicked inexplicably. He felt that he had grasped the key point, but he was not sure.

It shouldn't be that wild, right?

"Nonsense, what other personal matters do you have? Marry Yaoyao."

Chai Yansong sat up straight with a "shushing" sound. As a result, Chen Ming sat up straighter than him and was shocked by this decision.

"Are you kidding me here? Didn't you come here today to talk about this matter?"

"Youyao is not young anymore. If she is already thirty by the time you come back from further studies, my old man won't be able to wait that long."

"Since she is willing and you are interested, I have nothing to say."

"This matter is settled. I will communicate with your parents when I get back and your family will choose a date to get married."

"To resolve private matters, you can fight as hard as you like. I will not interfere in the affairs of young people, nor will I interfere."

"Married?!!"

Chen Ming's brain almost shut down after hearing this. Just now he thought it wouldn't be so wild, but he didn't expect it to happen.

I've seen people who are fast, but I've never seen people who are so fast.

He did come here today to meet his parents, but there's no need to be so panicked, right?

"Chief, this is me."

"What is this? You still picked it? That's it."

"You take the time to speak to your family in the next few days, and I will take the time to go over and talk in detail."

"Jinling is not far from Pengcheng. If you want to serve some snacks, they are all soldiers. I don't want to beat you around the bush."

"I don't care about you young people's affairs, but this matter is settled."

Chen Ming sat there blankly, digesting the sudden news.

This chief said that he doesn't care about the affairs of young people, but said that this matter is so settled that there is no doubt about it.

His trip was really exciting! !
