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

Chapter 408: The Soldier Service Center bombed the streets. Our Chief of Staff is so young.

Brigade Headquarters.

It was almost afternoon when Chen Ming came back from the review meeting.

Brigadier Xu Wenqian did not come back at all and stayed at the division headquarters to discuss future arrangements for the command and control department.

The director's department was actually called the "director's department" of military exercises and operations many years ago. At that time, operations were mainly based on scripts.

It is the agency responsible for organizing and guiding military exercises.

Depending on the scale, topic and purpose of the exercise, he is usually responsible for the overall work of the exercise, including the adjustment, judgment and performance evaluation of the exercise, etc.

It completely belongs to the third party on the battlefield.

There are no major changes in the rules and regulations between the directing department and the command and control department. The former is similar to the producer. The producer is responsible for all war games and combat scripts in the early stages of the war.

The production department is more like a director, coordinating the overall situation but not responsible for production. To put it bluntly, they put aside the script and control the overall situation.

No matter who the two sides are, the command and control department will send people to follow them to guide the battlefield situation at any time, which can not only set up problems for the Red Army, but also for the Blue Army.

Compared with before, the position is more biased towards the third party, but it is not neutral.

Based on the current situation, if there is a change, the division headquarters will have to use its own combat troops.

For example, units such as the reconnaissance battalion, fire department, and heavy fire battalion directly under the division can no longer be mobilized at will by the brigade headquarters.

Of course, Chen Ming also knew that this was all a matter of fact.

What is the meaning of the existence of the Blue Army?

Not only is it independent of other combat forces, but for the Red Army troops to move within the Blue Army's combat range, it is equivalent to entering a real battlefield.

In the final analysis, the Blue Army and the Guidance Department are still on the same team, and their calling is slightly different from the previous practice.

In the afternoon, if the brigade commander did not come back, Chen Ming had to summon the entire brigade and battalion-level commanders to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

Make general arrangements for combat reform, brainstorming and other tasks.

The formation of Skynet is not that easy. It requires a separate command system and fire control system to cover the entire Niubei Mountain.

Underground, in the air, and even in the sea, everything must be under Skynet's surveillance.

It can be said that as long as the Skynet system is not broken, every move and arrangement of the Red Army combat troops as they climb Niutoushan will be reflected.

All will be exposed under the nose of the Blues.

The Blue Army Command will control all actions of the opponent just like the previous Director Department.

This is the Blue Army. After all, they are the host. They manage their own three-acre land all year round. How can they not have this means.

According to Chief of Staff Jiang's wishes, the troops that will land on Niutoushan next time will no longer be limited to the army.

The Marine Corps, air assault brigade, combined force, and a strategic support force are equivalent to four major arms to challenge the Blue Army's Skynet system.

This is inevitable.

After all, simulating a real battlefield, the army is not the only one. The air force, navy, strategic resources, and rocket force will all be put into use when the war actually begins.

Only training the army will ultimately fail to achieve the comprehensive effect of military training.

"Future battles will be more difficult." After Chen Ming held the brigade headquarters meeting, he left the matter of finalizing the post-war training outline to Deputy Chief of Staff Shan Chao.

Shan Chao used to be the commander of the 169st Battalion of the th Brigade. In terms of seniority, he was still the senior battalion commander of Du Longfei, the commander of the st Regiment.

I can't say how capable he is, but at least he has no problem managing a brigade staff.

Chen Ming left the matter to him not for training, but for a long time to come, he would not focus on training troops in the brigade.

The theater army headquarters has given him the task of rectification. At least in the past few months, he has been very busy.

The 71st Army held the Military Games, and he would go there to attend the opening ceremony. After that, he would go to Longya to invite people to come over and form Skynet together.

Chen Ming is also under a lot of pressure.

The Red Army that comes next time will not be able to compare with the combined 5th Brigade this time. It does not mean that the Red Army that comes next time is stronger than the 5th Brigade and has multiple arms to climb Niutoushan.

Mere Niutou Lake and Niubei Mountain cannot stop them.

The Red Army has all-weather and all-terrain landing conditions. Without Skynet to suppress them, I am afraid that the Red Army will be able to hit the three-gun gate on the first day of the war.

Although the power of the combined force is not small, it cannot stop the combined three or even four services, right?

Therefore, Operation Skynet is imminent.

Who knows when the next battle will begin? The leaders above will not listen to you tell you how difficult the process is. At most, they will give you time to prepare.

When the time comes, so does the Red Army.

"Ugh!!"

Chen Ming looked up at the darkening night sky and listened to the discussion in the conference room behind him. For a moment, he stood there not knowing what to do.

Not far away, Xiong Jiuchang saw that he hadn't moved for a long time. He ran over and stretched his head to look at Chen Ming's slightly melancholy expression. He leaned on the railing with his elbows and crossed his left and right feet. He said with a naive smile: "Chen, What's wrong with you?"

"Why are you still not happy after defeating the Red Army?"

"Happy? Are you happy?" Chen Ming smiled bitterly, looked at the squad leader next to him, and then thought about Wang Shuaibing and Bald Man.

Suddenly he understood what the recruit platoon leader Jiang Peng had told him when the recruit company was about to be dismounted.

Some veterans in the brigade actually met the requirements for promotion, but they did not choose to be promoted. Instead, they still chose to become non-commissioned officers and stay in the army.

At that time, Chen Ming didn't understand. Isn't it good to be an officer?

After all, he has bars and stars on his shoulders. Even if he is a lieutenant, when he sees a strange second lieutenant, he might be able to call him "chief".

Looking back now, Chen Ming somewhat understood the choices of those people. If he were to become a non-commissioned officer, he would not have these worries.

Brainstorming, the formation of Skynet, and the joint landing of the four military services on Niutoushan have nothing to do with him.

As long as you do your own thing well, you will feel comfortable all day long. You will be treated like a monitor wherever you go, and you will be as comfortable as a fish in water.

If he hadn't mentioned it back then, it would have been three times now.

Chen Ming is not worried that he will not stay in the team. If he has a system, what technology can't he master?

There is no problem in learning a good side-by-side skill, but as an officer, in many cases he can exchange for some skills, so there is no need.

Just leave it to other professionals.

There is no need to do it yourself, but to provide space and opportunities for others to find employment.

It's a pity that he didn't take a serious look at many of the scenery along the way. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is now standing at the brigade headquarters.

Served as brigade chief of staff.

When he first entered the military camp, Guo Yuanzheng, the recruit company commander at that time, was his goal, but he didn't know when this goal had become blurred and surpassed.

Chen Ming stood in the corridor of the brigade headquarters with a smile on his face. He thought for a long time before saying: "Squad leader."

"Hey, tell me."

"I remember that you used to be in the Second Company of Border Defense. Didn't you achieve second-class personal merit once?"

"That was the fight with the poachers. It is said that the second-class meritorious service can already be lifted up. Why didn't you choose to lift up the sword?"

Chen Ming asked with interest. He had never heard of these words before. He was not a gossip. As a comrade and a brother, there was no need to know about the past.

Just know the present moment.

"Me?" Old Xiong raised his hand in surprise and pointed at himself, "I gave up on my own."

"The instructor of our second company talked to me at the time, but I still didn't know what I was like."

"In the past, I was able to be the squad leader because I had a simple and honest personality and was a good old man. Medical soldiers, Li Yan, Wu Bing and others didn't like being the squad leader."

"The conditions in the border defense company are difficult, and fighting often occurs. Those kids either don't like to fight or are irritable, so I will be the squad leader to take care of them."

"When we are together, we don't feel any pain even if we are in pain. We are guarding the country's borders. How can a man express his pain?"

"Oh, it's a pity that my body is not in good condition now, so I can't go to places with a slightly higher altitude. However, meeting you and being able to come to Niutoushan is also the happiest thing in my life."

Xiong Jiuchang didn't say why he didn't mention it, but Chen Ming heard it.

That's because squad leader Lao Xiong knew that even if he was promoted, with his character, he would only be as high as the deputy company in the army.

In a place like border defense, the salary is not necessarily better than that of a non-commissioned officer. He also has to take care of a group of guys in the class.

If you are reluctant to let go, you will naturally not go.

Chen Ming sighed with emotion after hearing this. There are so many different situations in life, and everyone's situation is different.

Some soldiers are very motivated, like him, just to be able to join the army as a conscript, to be promoted, and to stay in the army as an officer.

But some comrades have very clear minds and see clearly.

Seeing that it was already getting late, Chen Ming stopped his thoughts. Since he had chosen this path, he should go on firmly.

Wang Shuaibing, squad leader Lao Xiong, and Baldy, their jobs were indeed much easier than his own, which made him a little envious.

But in order for this envy to last, he must work hard to climb up. Only when his position is higher can these old comrades stay in the army better.

"Squad leader, let's go. I'll leave the rest of the meeting to Chief of Staff Shan. You'll take me home." "In addition to the competition and this exercise, I haven't been back for a week. It just so happens that there isn't much going on in the brigade these days. thing."

Chen Ming stood up and stretched his waist.

It was already time to finish work at the brigade headquarters, and there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

"Go home? It's time to go back and take a look." Old Xiong scratched his head and said honestly: "Since you are fine, let's go to the Soldier Service Center."

"My wife has been saying thank you to you since you provided her with the opportunity to open a supermarket last year."

"You have helped my family a lot. Let's have dinner over there in the store. My wife is good at cooking."

"I just happened to stop by to see my uncle and aunt, so I asked Director Chai to come over too. It's crowded."

Seeing the look in Old Xiong Xiyi's eyes, Chen Ming couldn't refuse. He didn't want any thanks for this kind of thing.

Just a little effort.

At the firepower department, we established a service center for soldiers in response to the needs of the soldiers in each company. When recruiting investment, we had to find people who knew the basics.

After all, Niutoushan is in a special location, and it provides food and drink to the soldiers. All arrangements must be passed, and it is most appropriate to use the family members of comrades or comrades-in-arms.

These are all unwritten rules.

It's hard to say who helped whom.

But he really didn't want to offend the monitor's hospitality. As for his parents, they lived upstairs and could still see them at night.

Chen Ming is currently not in the fire department, but is the brigade chief of staff. In this capacity, he will inevitably make the soldiers there feel uncomfortable if he goes to serve the soldiers at the center.

After all, how many people can go there to buy cigarettes, snacks, food, and milk tea without sneaking there?

The military camp has strict discipline, but there is always a touch of human kindness. He had previously specifically asked the security guards to set a fixed time period when they went to arrest someone.

Try to let the soldiers who sneak over to buy snacks be able to figure out the rules and avoid being caught. This is not a big deal.

Who is a soldier and has never done this?

"Oh, let's go, just treat it as a guest at my place." Xiong Jiuchang seemed to be afraid that Chen Ming wouldn't go, and seemed to sense that he was not in a good mood, or that he was a bit stressed.

I want to drag him over to eat, talk, and relax.

The competition just ended and the practice came again, and it finally came to an end.

Who knows what will happen in a few days.

Seeing that he couldn't resist the old bear, Chen Ming simply smiled and said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you go there. You go and drive, and I'll go to the dormitory to change into training clothes. I won't have a meeting or attend an important occasion, so there is no need to dress so formally."

"Let's meet at the gate."

"middle!!"

The two of them went their separate ways. Chen Ming returned to the dormitory without collecting his bedding or anything else. It would be inevitable that he would be unable to go back due to emergencies in the future.

The dormitories in the brigade headquarters must still be retained.

On the way, I called Chai Shuyao. Coincidentally, she happened to be helping at the Soldier Service Center.

The staff of the Propaganda Department did not have heavy work tasks, and they did not care about the combat troops, so when Chai Shuyao passed by, the soldiers in each company were not afraid.

Should I go shopping secretly, I would still do it.

After changing into his training uniform, Chen Ming made another call to Wang Shuaibing and Bald Zi.

The two of them are still attached to the fire department, and the logistics and civilian units are already fine at this time.

Those two are regular visitors to the service center, because it integrates food, drink and entertainment, not only restaurants and shops, but also billiards halls and Internet cafes.

On Saturdays and Sundays, when units allow people to take time off to go out, these entertainment venues are always full.

As far as Chen Ming knows, Wang Shuaibing and Bald Zi are very obsessed with League of Legends. They are not good at technical skills, but they like to play tirelessly.

He doesn't play games, but it's said that the two of them have been playing this game for five or six years, and they can't even make a fortune.

Sure enough, after a phone call, the two of them were really there.

As for Du Longfei, the leader of the Heheyi Regiment and the political commissar of the 169th Brigade, there is no way to call him.

He went over and brought another group leader and a brigade political commissar. The Civil Service Center was afraid that there would be no business tonight.

What's more, these two people can't leave.

Mengang and Lao Xiong met, and they drove to Niutoushan Citizen Service Center, which was not close to the brigade headquarters. To be precise, it was located very far back.

Close to the Joint Logistics Department.

The only people who can go there to buy things in normal times are non-commissioned officers, recruits, or upper-class soldiers. Generally, they have to wait until they can take leave before they can go and patronize.

Chen Ming's personal habits are pretty good. He doesn't smoke, doesn't like eating snacks, and doesn't play games much, so he rarely patronizes here.

But, today, he is here.

In the outer parking lot, as soon as Chen Ming got off the car, he saw three soldiers in the distance, with sausages in their mouths and instant noodles in their hands, asking the boss to bring hot water.

I usually see most of these people coming back from a business trip and running out of food, so they come here to deal with a couple of people. However, the exercise just ended today, so there is no business mission.

It looked like he had sneaked out.

The instant noodles trio did not notice Chen Ming, but a soldier on the other side who was buying pearl milk tea saw Chen Ming.

"ah?!!"

"Squad leader, let's not buy it. A battalion commander is coming over there. If he catches us, we will suffer."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We lost to Old Liu from the Fourth Company in a bet. No matter what, we have to send milk tea over today. Otherwise, where will your squad leader and I put this old face in the future?"

"Which battalion commander? There are more battalion commanders in Niutoushan, I..." The veteran who claimed to be the squad leader had just scolded the young boy next to him when he saw Chen Ming coming back in the distance.

His face almost turned green.

He turned around and slapped the little soldier on the big head, and growled: "You are so blind, that is the chief of staff of our brigade."

"What's the battalion commander? Go for a walk quickly. Don't buy it. He met me before when he went to the third company. I heard that our chief of staff has a good memory."

"Don't recognize it."

The squad leader, who had been tough just now, immediately became scared when he saw who it was.

Although it is very common in the army for non-commissioned officers to leave the camp and go out to buy things, it may not be in compliance with the regulations if it is common.

The two of them turned around and ran away.

He was not the only one who noticed Chen Ming. Those who were packing food, buying drinks, and buying snacks were all dumbfounded when they saw Chen Ming coming towards the store.

Except for the recruits who joined the army in the second half of last year and didn't know him, who in the Niutoushan Garrison Base didn't know Chen Ming?

Chen Ming was in charge of the 704th Division's reorganization and the three-ice-breaking operation.

Even the first pennant of many companies and the awarding of individual honorary pennants were ceremonies held by him.

I'm afraid of him not only because of his position, but more importantly, this is the leader of the police picket.

Even if he is no longer in the fire department, his position has been promoted higher, and he can still manage the security and pickets.

When they met those white-headed men, they all felt nervous, let alone the leader of the white-headed men.

"Squad leader, you said this is our chief of staff. Is he the one commanding this battle with the Red Army's turtle grandson? He is so young."

"Damn, I feel sorry for your sister, let's go quickly."

Chen Ming only walked a dozen meters away from the parking lot. Many old people who had just bought things nearby fled in a hurry.

The old bear following him was stunned.

Good guy, among these old guys who sneak out every day to take care of business, who is not afraid of anything?

He didn't expect to be so frightened when he saw Chen Ming. Now, he finally understood why Chen Ming didn't want to come here.

Since it opened, he rarely comes.

This is like a street explosion. When one person arrives, hundreds of people flee.

The place that was bustling just now is gone in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ming himself was a little speechless. Is he so scary? However, he did recognize several veterans and knew which company and which class they belonged to.

The store jointly opened by father Chen Qianghe, mother Hu Caixia and Lao Xiong's wife is relatively small, but the business is the hottest.

As a result, because of his arrival, almost everyone ran away. Good guy, this is ruining your own business.

Before Chen Ming could reach the door of the shop, Chai Shuyao came out and couldn't help laughing when he saw the person coming.

"Looking at all the people running away just now, I guess you are here. Come in quickly. You can go to the back warehouse and stay there. Don't affect your parents' business here."

Chai Shuyao said, walked behind Chen Ming, and pushed him towards the small warehouse behind the shop.

Chen Ming was left speechless for a while.

It's better not to come
