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

Chapter 341: Promoted to lieutenant colonel, new mission comes
Zhang Jintao stood at the door of the auditorium, looking at the officers on the list one after another, coming over one after another. His neck was almost stretched, and Chen Ming was not seen.

In desperation, when he was about to run to the division post to take a look, Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao walked over from a distance, talking and laughing.

Seeing a familiar figure and glancing at Chen Ming's uniform, Zhang Jintao's jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

Good guy, although it is stipulated that military medals should be worn during promotion ceremonies, no one wears one on their chest like Chen Ming.

In peacetime, the people who have performed meritorious service are basically non-commissioned officers. The majority of officers are special operations brigades, and ordinary combat troops rarely have this kind of people.

"It's really cool." Zhang Jintao opened his mouth dumbly, and in the end he could only give this evaluation.

He raised his hand and shouted: "Old Chen!!!"

"what?!!"

When Chen Ming heard someone calling him, he looked up. When he saw it was his former partner, a smile appeared on his face.

"Instructor? Haha, long time no see. Oh, no, I should call the director now."

Chen Ming pulled Chai Shuyao and quickly came to the entrance of the division door. He looked Zhang Jintao up and down and said with emotion.

"Haha, it's been a long time indeed. Hello, Director Chai."

"Hello." Chai Shuyao nodded politely and smiled, then looked at Chen Ming: "You guys chat, it's time for me to prepare for the shooting and see if the comrades in the auditorium have arranged the arrangements."

"it is good."

Chen Ming watched his wife leave with a smile on his lips again.

"Instructor, how do you feel about arriving in the new department? Are you still getting used to it?"

"You're calling me a stupid instructor, why do you need to be so polite to me? Just call me Lao Zhang." Zhang Jintao laughed and pulled Chen Ming.

"Come on, you are really surprising. Good guy, you have so many military medals on your chest. Why are you so slow? You are not active in the promotion ceremony."

"It turns out that I should take my time when sorting these things out at home. Today is a good opportunity to show off."

Hearing this, Chen Ming smiled bitterly. He didn't want to bring so many things over. The rules were rules, but now he no longer needed these things to prove himself.

However, his wife had packed the clothes and military medals, so he had to bring them with him if he had to.

Nothing was stolen or robbed.

Not ashamed.

Sure enough, Zhang Jintao's words came true.

As soon as the two stepped through the gate of the division headquarters, the officers who came to attend the promotion ceremony looked at them sideways.

The 704th Division expanded and many more officers were transferred from other places, most of whom did not know Chen Ming.

But looking at his attire and his chest making jingling sounds when he walked, you could guess that this person was probably not a simple character.

Facing the surprised looks from around him, Chen Ming responded with a smile.

Anyway, I don’t know them now, but I will know them all later.

As the core unit of the entire strategic assault division, the Firepower Division inevitably has to deal with the officers present.

Stepping into the auditorium, Chen Ming saw the layout inside, and then looked at the soldiers who were already in place next to him. He felt a little helpless. The difference between filming and not filming the promotion ceremony was really big.

If it were normal, this kind of ceremony would only need to be arranged to make it a little more grand. How could it be so important as today?

The auditorium is quite grand and grand. There is no need to create an ancient Roman style. Just standing here gives people a great pressure.

Chen Ming was not in the mood to observe too much. He had a string of military medals on his body, and if he wandered around, it would be a bit of a show off.

He simply took Zhang Jintao and ran to sit on a chair on the side below the high platform, chatting about his experiences for more than a year.

Probably more than 20 minutes passed.

The officers who were chatting near the entrance of the auditorium suddenly stood on both sides, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Chen Ming and Zhang Jintao were chatting, but they also stood up in a hurry. In this case, there was no need to think about it, it must be the leader from above.

really.

As soon as they stood up, six or seven people came in from outside the auditorium.

Chen Ming knew all the four people at the front.

It was Changjiang Zhenjun, Army Chief of Staff of the Eastern Theater Command, Wang Junwei, 704th Division Commander, Xu Guoyang, Political Commissar, and Xu Wenqian, Division Chief of Staff. They were followed by three colonels, whom Chen Ming did not recognize.

Several people strode into the auditorium, and the surrounding officers saluted! !

"Hello, Chief!!"

"Hello, comrades, you're welcome, take a seat." Jiang Zhenjun returned the greeting with a smile, and led the people to stride towards the high platform of the auditorium.

Zhang Jintao reached out and poked his colleague Chen Ming with his elbow, and introduced in a low voice: "I won't talk about Chief of Staff Jiang. You must know him, right?"

"Did you see the colonel behind Political Commissar Xu? The fat one is Cao Zhigang, the newly appointed brigade commander of the 169th Brigade. The tall and thin one next to him is Pan Jiachen, the political commissar of the 169th Brigade. Behind him is the brigade. Chief of Staff Liu Zhiyang.”

"The reason why today's promotion ceremony is so grand is because the head of the military department has signed and approved the promotion of division chief of staff Xu Wenqian to senior colonel. Cao Brigade and political commissar Pan have also been promoted to senior colonel."

"Today there are only three colonels who have been promoted to senior colonels. How can it not be grand?"

Oh.
After hearing the introduction, Chen Ming nodded suddenly. He was wondering just now. If it was just a group of strategic assault division lieutenants and some school officers who were promoted, there would be no need for such a big show.

It turned out that there were three university-level leaders who were also going to appear at this promotion ceremony.

This means that there are too many people who have been promoted to the Strategic Assault Division, so they are all gathered together. The scene is still a bit small now.

If a colonel was promoted to a senior colonel in normal times, the scale would be much larger than this.

After all, starting from colonel, promotion to military rank is no longer decided by the military region or theater, but must be signed by the JW of the military department.

Accompany the chief into the auditorium.

All the officers began to gather in the open space in front of the high platform, and the propaganda staff also turned on the video equipment. When Chen Ming went to stand in line, he could still see Chai Shuyao standing in the corner waving his little fist to cheer him up.

To this, he could only respond with a smile.

The promotion ceremony, what is there to cheer about? The gas that needs to be added has been added. This time I came here just to turn the major on my shoulders into a lieutenant colonel.

From two bars and one star, he was promoted to two bars and two stars.

The promotion meeting has begun.

The national anthem was played in the auditorium and resounded throughout the sky. "stand up."

More than 20 officers participating in the promotion ceremony sang loudly, kicking off the entire ceremony.

Jiang Zhenjun stood up first and came to the front of the high platform, scanning every officer under the stage.

"Comrades."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Jiang Zhenjun, and I am currently the chief of staff of the theater army."

"Today is a day to remember because today we are here to celebrate the promotion of some of the best members of our team."

"This is a great moment and a moment worth celebrating."

"Promoting the title is not only an honor, but also a responsibility. It represents the recognition of everyone's efforts and achievements in the past time."

"Similarly, promotion to a higher rank also means greater responsibilities and higher expectations. After being promoted to a new military rank, comrades will face greater challenges and more opportunities, and will also assume more responsibilities and leadership. Role."

"Behind the promotion is hard work and countless silent contributions. It is these efforts and contributions that achieved the extraordinary medal at the critical moment."

"Comrades, in your new position, I hope you can continue to carry forward the spirit of progress and demand yourself with higher standards."

"Wearing a new military rank, receiving a red command certificate, and looking back at the past, we have experienced ups and downs together and forged ahead. Looking at the present, we have the best platform, the best opportunities, and the best prospects."

"Comrades, facing the future, we must set high standards, realize our ideals and realize value in fiery practice."

Perhaps because of the cameras, Chief of Staff Jiang talked a lot more than usual.

But the speech ceremony did arouse the ambitions of the officers.

Strategic Assault Division, a brand new unit, also needs them to meet new challenges.

The speech is over.

The thunderous applause on the battlefield almost overturned the dome of the auditorium.

Jiang Zhenjun waved his hand and took the roster from an officer in the rear. At this time, the loud military song sounded again.

The entire auditorium was filled with majestic singing.

"Next, I will read out the order for promotion to military rank."

"Xu Wenqian."

"arrive."

"Cao Zhigang."

"arrive."

"Pan Jiachen."

"arrive."

"The three of you have been officially promoted to the rank of senior colonel with the approval of JW of the Military Department."

"Yes!!!"

"Li Jianping."

"arrive."

"Zhang Jintao."

"arrive."

"Wu Jianwei."

"arrive."

"Yang Weidong."

"arrive."

"The four of you have been promoted to the rank of colonel with the approval of the military department."

"Yes."

"Chen Ming."

"arrive"

"Ma Yongqiang."

"arrive."

~~~~~~
Names were called out one after another, and many officers clenched their fists at the promotion ceremony.

Chen Ming was only one of them in this promotion conference, but it didn't matter. Only in such an environment could he progress faster.

Chief of Staff Jiang's calm and contagious voice resounded throughout the auditorium, seemed to have resounded throughout the Niutoushan garrison base, and even reached thousands of households.

At this moment, Chen Ming was undoubtedly the most excited, and he took another step forward.

A solid step.

With a body of seven feet, he shoulders the heavy burden of the safety of the motherland.

The hand holding the pen can still forge important weapons of the great nation and support the backbone of the nation! !
When Commander Wang Junwei of the Strategic Assault Division took off the rank of major from Chen Ming's shoulder and personally placed the rank of lieutenant colonel on him, he looked at the rows of military medals on his chest.

She patted his strong arm happily.

"Good boy, come on."

"Remember your mission and move forward silently. There are still many challenges waiting for you on the road ahead. Next, you must integrate your beliefs into actions and fulfill your solemn oath to build a strong army."

"do you understand?"

"clear!!!"

Chen Ming roared in response, with two bars and two stars shining brightly on his shoulders.

Looking up at the bright five-pointed star emblem on the high platform, Chen Ming saluted solemnly! !
Maybe at this moment, a new mission comes! !
