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

Chapter 290: Advanced Study Report, Could it be that Wang Lu tricked me?
The two of them walked to the parking lot of the battalion headquarters one after another. At this time, the companies were still gathering at the training ground for daily training, and they did not know that Chen Ming was about to leave.

Kongwu opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. He hesitated to speak and looked back. He hesitated for a while before he couldn't help but say: "Consultant Chen, the training course didn't say how long it will last. We really don't want to train." Shall we see it again?"

"At least explain it to the cadres in the company."

"No need." Chen Ming sat in the back and opened his backpack to check. For this training, there was no formal notice on it, so he was issued a document with the seal of the military headquarters and the Eastern Theater Command.

With this thing, you can report to the National Defense University. The National Defense University is different from the National University of Defense Technology. This college is truly a college for military personnel. It only accepts officers in the army and does not accept college entrance examination graduates.

It is the cradle of senior command. Being able to start in the name of learning will greatly improve your own experience.

After checking that nothing was missing, Chen Ming looked out the window and said with a smile, "What's there to say goodbye to? I'm just going to study and not be discharged from the army."

"I just came back from the brigade headquarters. Judging from the arrangements for the Strategic Assault Division, I estimate that the training time will not be very long, ranging from half a year to about ten months at most. It is estimated that we will arrange to come back in batches."

"I'm afraid our third battalion will be completely different by then."

"Definitely." Kong Wu nodded heavily.

He was originally a clerk in the staff department of the 169th Synthetic Brigade. At that time, the superiors considered that Chen Ming had just come over to serve as a staff officer. They were afraid that he would not adapt and the work could not be carried out, so they arranged for him to come to the third battalion together.

From the beginning few people were optimistic about the Tiger Wolf Battalion, then it was almost disbanded, then it went on to conduct large-scale military training and operations, and now it is slowly getting on the right track, with the whole battalion focusing on construction.

No one is more familiar with how much effort Chen Ming put into this process, and how much research he did all day and night, than Kong Wu.

No one understands the hardships better than him.

I'm afraid I would be reluctant to say goodbye without going to the training ground. I don't want to see that kind of scene.

After all, he was the one who led the troops, so he could understand.

On the way to Pengcheng High-speed Railway Station, Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao contacted each other and found out that the War Zone Cultural Propaganda Department would launch a battlefield singing activity on the National Birthday.

In September, the unit began to arrange rehearsals and organize personnel to study. As one of the heads of the news department, Chai Shuyao also had a heavy task, and the departure arrangement was too sudden.

She couldn't make it in time today and couldn't come over to deliver it.

However, it doesn't matter. Both of them are soldiers and have their own jobs. After the Strategic Assault Division is established and moved to a new station, Chai Shuyao will be transferred to serve as the director of the new department of the 704th Division Propaganda Department.

This was a previous transfer adjustment made by the war zone to facilitate the two of them working in the same unit.

Nowadays, short separation is also the norm.

Pengcheng High-speed Railway Station has arrived.

Chen Ming carried his backpack, opened the door and got out of the car, turned around and waved to Kong Wu: "Go back, if the battalion commander and instructor ask, just say that I have already set off."

"As for the farewell party, let's leave it to later and hold it as a welcome party when I come back."

"Yes, Staff Officer Chen, please go slower on the way to Shimen. Pengcheng is more than 500 kilometers away from Shimen."

As Kong Wu spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and chanted.

"It takes three hours and 15 minutes to get there by high-speed rail. It's absolutely no problem before dark. If you want to go shopping, you can visit Zhengding Ancient City or Zhaozhou Bridge. The response online is pretty good. I've done some guides on these."

"Counsel Chen, please contact me in advance when you return from training, and I will pick you up. Here is my strategy for you to take with you."

"You kid, okay." Chen Ming took the note from Kong Wu's hand with a smile, glanced at it and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Go back quickly. This training is a sudden arrangement from above. It may not last too long. You are very familiar with the work of the staff department."

"Tell the new chief staff officer more about daily work precautions. You are also a veteran, so please help me."

"Yes, Staff Officer Chen."

Kong Wu stood at attention with red eyes and saluted!
Silently watching Chen Ming's walking back.

He said he would pick it up when he came back, but he knew very well in his heart that he might not be able to wait for that day.

As a staff clerk, he is in his seventh year and will take off his military uniform and leave the army during the retirement season next year.

The training time for the cadres of the Strategic Assault Division has not yet been determined, but it is not easy for such a large unit to smooth things over within a year. This training may take one or two years.

This further represents the determination from above.

By the time Staff Chen comes back and goes to his new unit, he may have already left the army.

Retirement season, the sorrow of soldiers, and the hesitation of soldiers.

The Joint Warfare College of the National Defense University is the former Shimen Army College.

Located in the western suburbs of Shimen City, at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, the majestic military command academy standing here is where Chen Ming studied this time.

This is an old school that was born during the Anti-Japanese War. During the war years with heavy artillery fire, it moved frequently, and now I am afraid that even the ruins of the school cannot be found.

The college in front of me was established later. It was originally a junior infantry school under the jurisdiction of the North China Military Region and had a fixed school location in Shimen.

This college has gone through many vicissitudes and twists and turns, and was finally chosen here in 77.

It was not long established, but it has become famous overseas and has trained many military elites and senior generals.

"National Defense University Joint Warfare College." Chen Ming sighed as he stood at the main entrance of the college.

Normally, only officers at the senior colonel level could get the opportunity to enter for further studies without taking the examination.

There are many benefits to coming here, including qualifications, connections, promotion channels, etc., all of which will be huge benefits.

Since the war zone and the military headquarters jointly arranged for this group of officers to come here for further training, then their information must have been transferred to the military zone and the handover was completed.

Chen Ming currently doesn’t know how many people are attending this class and whether he can meet acquaintances. However, this is not a problem he should consider. No matter how many people come to the Joint Warfare College of the National Defense University, even if he is the only one, he will still be in the designated area. Open within hours.

It will not be canceled just because there are too few students.

What's more, it's impossible for there to be no students here, or too few students. For this rare opportunity, even if there is no arrangement from the top, if there is just a little bit of news, many people will rush to sign up.

It should be quite lively.

Chen Ming raised his head and looked at the college in front of him, like a mountain cannon that had just entered the city. Everything he looked at was novel.

When he went to the brigade headquarters to ask for leave last night, he remembered that Brigade Wang had said that when he came to report, he would go to Vice President Lin Qingyuan to register, but he didn't think much about it at the time.

Now that he had actually arrived at the door of the report, Chen Ming felt worried when he looked at the school where almost no one came in and out. This time was different from the last time he went to the National University of Defense Technology.

There was no exchange group accompanying him, and there was no one to greet him. He just wandered over by himself. How could he find Vice President Lin?
Just as he was admiring it with doubtful eyes for a long time, he was about to enter the school.

A lieutenant at the gate quickly ran towards this side, stood still, looked up and saw that Chen Ming was wearing a military uniform and a major's epaulettes.

He looked obviously stunned.

He has seen many senior colonels and colonels who can come to this college. Lieutenant colonels are more common, but such a young major is really rare.

After all, the Joint Warfare College is not a political college. It provides training courses specifically for military commanders and combatants. A major, a deputy battalion-level cadre, generally does not come here.

The lieutenant looked at it and raised his hand to stop Chen Ming from moving forward.

"Hello, Comrade Major, what are you doing here? Please show your valid ID."

"okay."

Hearing this, Chen Ming responded, took out his military officer's ID card and the documents stamped by the war zone from his backpack and handed them over.

"Hello comrade, I am Chen Ming, who has been arranged by the 71st Army of the Eastern Theater Command to attend the refresher course. This is my ID."

The lieutenant reached out and took it, carefully checked the officer's ID card, looked at the stamps stamped by the Eastern Theater Command and the Army Headquarters, and stood up straight.

salute!

"Hello, Chief. Welcome to the school. Here is your ID. Please wait a moment."

"I will immediately arrange for someone to take you through the school admission procedures."

"Okay, trouble."

"You're welcome, Chief."

After the lieutenant returned the certificate, he quickly ran back to the duty room, picked up the landline and made a call to verify Chen Ming's identity again.

Chen Ming stood there and continued to wait.When he came to the Military Academy again, the academy was different, and his mood was completely different. He remembered that the last time he went to the National University of Defense Technology, it was three years ago, and he was just a private.

Now, all this time has passed, and he is no longer the new recruit who just joined the army.

They have forgotten since when the title of the new recruit's egg on his head was taken off.

Looking back suddenly, I feel a lot of emotion.

"Hello, Chief, please come with me." The lieutenant who had just confirmed Chen Ming's identity ran out from the gate and invited: "Let's go through the formalities for entering the school first."

"I have already informed the college that after we have gone through the formalities, someone will take you there to arrange your dormitory soon."

"Okay, trouble."

The lieutenant on duty took Chen Ming to a special window to go through the school admission procedures.

Even though Chen Ming's deputy battalion level is indeed lower than other training personnel, the salary is similar. For those who come here to study, there will be a dedicated person to take care of such simple admission procedures. .

He only needs someone to stand in front of him, he doesn't need to say a word at all, and it's all done in less than 5 minutes.

During this period, the comrade who handled the admission process made a special phone call, and the formalities here had just been completed.

A military vehicle drove over from the academy, and a second lieutenant who looked to be about the same age as Chen Ming got out.

I smoothly took the luggage from the hands of the person on duty, as well as some other assigned items, as well as the dormitory key.

After everyone was put in the car, they quickly came to Chen Ming and saluted.

"Reporting to the head, my name is Xiao Wen. I am an orderly specially arranged for you by the school. The dormitory has been assigned."

"Chief, let's go to the dormitory first and put down our luggage."

"it is good."

Chen Ming smiled back and said that he didn't know what the process was when he first arrived, so he could only do whatever the college arranged for him.

What surprised him was that he didn't expect that the academy would assign him a separate orderly and a second lieutenant.

Generally speaking, orderlies and clerks need to do similar work, which is to be responsible for daily service work and make arrangements and notifications for various internal and external meetings.

Responsible for receiving and registering documents, official documents, letters, and at most some additional tasks such as conveying information to superiors and subordinates, driving, etc., and other ship-related tasks.

Including reports, document printing, copying, providing services to visitors and external liaison, these are all the daily responsibilities of orderlies.

This kind of work is not too difficult in nature and is usually held by soldiers. Of course, occasionally some experienced civilian cadres will be temporarily held.

Depending on the situation, the Xiao Wen assigned to him by the college is likely to be the latter.

"Chief, this is quite far from the dormitory. Let's drive there."

Xiao Wen opened the rear door with great discernment, waited for Chen Ming to get in, and then ran to the driver's seat and started the vehicle.

He introduced: "Chief, the gate you came to report this time is the east gate of our college. The road directly opposite the east gate is our college's No. [-] Road, also called Jinghuang Road, which leads to the west end of the campus. At the top of Cuiping Mountain, this road is classified as Road No. [-] in the courtyard.”

"Walking about 600 meters west along Road [-] from the east gate, you will reach the center of the teaching and living area. On the south side of this area, near the south edge of Road [-], there are three buildings standing side by side."

"From east to west are professional teaching buildings, an auditorium that can accommodate 500 people, and a library. Connected to the south wall of the auditorium is a parade platform. On the east and west sides of the parade platform are the audio-visual teaching building and the teaching building. Laboratory building."

"The place where we arrange our training this time is not here. Our dormitory is inside the team. There are No. [-] and No. [-] office buildings there, as well as dormitory areas."

"The area of ​​about 150 acres from the west to the east side of Yuanquan Canal Road is the relatively independent foreign affairs and external training area of ​​the college. It is mainly used for foreign training reception and foreign affairs reception."

"Our accommodation, meals, and classes are all there this time. Chief, if you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

Let me ask Hammer. Chen Ming looked out the window wordlessly. The orderly assigned to him by the college seemed to be a chatterbox.

He hadn't said a word yet. The other party gave him a crackling introduction. What else could he ask?

However, the Joint Warfare College does occupy a large area.

Before Chen Ming came, he had heard people say that this college was called the Military Academy City by the locals. It occupies a total area of ​​[-] square kilometers. Being on the campus will give people a sense of vastness.

Before setting off, Du Longfei, commander of the Tiger Wolf Battalion, also mentioned that the newly divided Joint Warfare College of the National Defense University has the largest battlefield in Asia.

When he didn't come, Chen Ming thought he was just a hearsay, but now that he came to see it, he really lived up to his reputation.

The length of the No. 20 road where their vehicles were traveling is unknown, but the width is a full [-] meters.

The passages specially used for marching in Yuanhuo Camp in the army are no less generous, and the architecture and garden layout are even more grand.

From the car window, you can see the north side of No. 100 Road. Echoing the auditorium is a seven-story government office building about [-] meters long, which is designated as Building No. [-] in the courtyard.

On the south edge of the roof stands the school motto: Unity, Endeavor, Pragmatism, Innovation, eight shining characters.

Even if Chen Ming didn't know much about architecture and had never even been exposed to it, he couldn't help but sigh at the Joint Warfare College. This kind of architectural distribution is indeed amazing.

Just looking at your layout, it gives people a sense of grandeur and openness.

But then again, no matter how good the layout is, it must first ensure a large area before it can be truly spread out. If the area is too small and the building is too large, it will look a bit petty.

It seems that a lot of thought was put into building this college. Perhaps because of the large area, the college arranged for orderlies to drive directly to the residential area for those who came to study.

It's such a long distance, and if you walk on two legs alone, even through the porch and the square in front of the complex, you probably won't be able to get around it without walking for more than ten minutes.

There are four towering cedar trees on the east and west sides in front of the building, which are more domineering. They stand proudly and are evergreen all year round. About [-] meters in front of the building is a fountain in the middle. I don’t know whether it sprays all year round or just catches the time.

The springs are all gushing out, and the water columns are like giant dragons, soaring into the sky, which is dazzling.

On the south side of the fountain is a stainless steel flagpole. At the top of the flagpole is a bright national flag fluttering in the wind.

Chen Ming often couldn't help but take a few more glances when he suddenly saw such a scene in the military area.

It's no wonder that his eyes were drawn to it. It was said to be a military academy, but the layout here was much more domineering than that of the National University of Defense Technology.

It’s just that the dragon-clawed locust trees on both sides of the road have been trimmed and shaped by gardeners. Their branches are like dragon’s claws and their crowns are like umbrellas. They are beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Chen Ming watched it for a long time, then turned around and said with a smile, "Your name is Xiao Wen?"

"Yes, Chief, just tell me if you have any orders."

"Don't be nervous, there are no instructions. Vice President Lin Qingyuan of our college should be responsible for the main work arrangements for this training, right?"

"Ah? You mean Dean Lin?"

Hearing Chen Ming's question, Xiao Wen, who was chatty just now, shrank his neck, his tone became obviously unnatural, and he said with a smile: "Chief, your information is really well-informed."

"Yes, it is indeed Dean Lin who is responsible for this training, but why do you ask?"

Seeing Xiao Wen's performance, Chen Ming frowned. Why did a second lieutenant speak in such a weird tone when he mentioned the vice president?

But it was hard for him to ask directly. After all, he had just arrived and it was useless to ask so much.

"It's nothing. After arranging the dormitory, you take me to Dean Lin's office and I'll report there."

"Report to Dean Lin?!!!" Xiao Wen grinned, looked back at Chen Ming and hesitated to speak.

"What about that? The chief and Dean Lin are in the college. If I reported in in the past, there would be no problem. I just came here for further study and there was no mention of the process of reporting to Dean Lin."

"Trainers will arrive one after another today and tomorrow, and classes will start directly then."

"Why don't you wait until the dormitories are allocated and go to the school history museum to have a look? Or if you have friends outside, you can go and see them first."

"During the training period, you are not allowed to leave the school from Monday to Friday, but the college does not restrict the freedom of the leaders on Saturdays and Sundays. Classes have not started today, so there will be no restrictions."

"If you want to go somewhere, I can take you there."

Chen Ming became even more confused when he heard Xiao Wen trying to dissuade him from reporting to Dean Lin.

Wang Lu specifically asked him to report to Lin Qingyuan, but he was quite serious. Wang Lu wouldn't trick him, would he?There’s nothing to get into.

But why is Xiao Wen so resistant?
Chen Ming frowned, a little confused and a little tempted to laugh. He could probably guess why.
