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

Chapter 412: Gathering a crowd to greet each other, there really is no comparison between people.

Chen Ming is here?

As the brigade headquarters deliberately publicized the news, many officers in each battalion of the artillery brigade received the news immediately and were filled with emotion.

Who is Chen Ming? Almost everyone in the current artillery brigade doesn't know him. Which veteran doesn't praise him as a positive example when he teaches new recruits a lesson?

After joining the army for ten years, the Blue Army Brigade, now leading the war zone, defeated the 5th Synthetic Brigade, one of the main brigades of the st Army, in less than a week.

Army Chief of Staff Competition, first place in overall score.

In other words, does it mean that he is at least the number one person in the army staff business in several theaters?

No one would say anything like this, but I can’t help but think about it.

Far fire second camp.

Jiang Peng, who is now the deputy instructor of the Second Battalion, was speechless for a long time after receiving the notice from the brigade headquarters.

He was the platoon leader of the second brigade of recruits, and he had a deep impression of Chen Ming. At that time, it could be said that Chen Ming was the benchmark for the entire recruit company.

However, the most indispensable thing in the military camp is benchmarks and soldiers with good foundation.

Although Jiang Peng helped Chen Ming a lot at that time, he answered many questions for him, and also explained to him the precautions for the next company.

He was afraid that Chen Ming would make a detour after joining the company. After all, the conscripts only lasted for two years. In the first year, he had no choice but to be successful. He held the title of private soldier and it was hard to be successful.

In the second year, you can hang out as a first-class soldier, but if you don't take it seriously, you won't be able to stay in the team.

At that time, he was afraid that Chen Ming would not have enough stamina and would be delayed after the company was launched, so he made a lot of plans for him, although many of them were probably useless.

But Jiang Peng didn't expect that Chen Ming could be so strong. Ten years sounds like a long time, but in terms of promotion regulations, it's not that long.

Back then, he was just a platoon leader who had just graduated from the military academy. Now he has returned ten years ago and has been promoted from platoon leader to company instructor and then to battalion deputy instructor.

Among the cadres in the same brigade, he was promoted quite quickly.

In the end, compared with Chen Ming, he was nothing.

When Jiang Peng served as platoon leader, Chen Ming had just entered the military camp. When Chen Ming was assigned to the company, he had already gone to the military region for training and was to serve as an instructor.

Who would have thought that Chen Ming was like riding a rocket. After the promotion course at the military academy, he entered Longya, and when he came out of Longya, he became the chief staff officer at the company level.

Nowadays, it is the chief of staff of the army who is the focus of most discussions in the entire war zone. If anyone talks about Chen Ming and feels the most emotion, it is Jiang Peng.

The other one was Guo Yuanzheng, the commander of the new recruit company.

He is still the company commander now. If there are no special circumstances, Company Commander Guo will change his career in the next few years. His situation is the norm in the army.

As for Chen Ming, they are one of the very few.

It's a pity that Lin Fengcheng, the instructor of the recruit company, had been specially approved to change jobs a few years ago due to his health.

The brigade headquarters of the past is still the same, and the training camp is still the same as before, nothing has changed.

People have changed too much.

Many people familiar to Chen Ming in the artillery brigade have left, and new faces have appeared one after another.

Even among the three athlete recruits who could compete with Chen Ming in the recruit competition, only one Li Kaizhao remained in the box artillery camp. He resigned from the position of squad leader. Now he is in the third period and has professional skills. work.

He was the weakest among the three at that time. The one with the closest ability to Chen Ming was Ye Qingwen. After the first period, he served as a soldier for five years and left.

He was a passionate young man who was motivated to make a career in the military camp when he entered the camp. It has been five years since he was discharged and returned home.

The other of the three, Yang Shengli, was also very capable. He was young at that time and could only do things with determination. Like Chen Ming, he wanted to be promoted to an officer.

However, Chen Ming has already served as the chief staff officer of the combined battalion. He only has a third-class meritorious service and is about to reach his age. Frustrated, his five-year military service has ended and he retired sadly.

Only Li Kaizhao didn't clamor to stay in the team. When a recruit asked him, he only said that there were too many cruel people among the athletes and he couldn't survive. He came to the army for a two-year transition to calm down.

After completing the compulsory service, he left, and as a result, ten years passed.

Those who originally clamored to stay in the team left, but those who planned to serve for two years became ten-year veterans.

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

Now in the entire artillery brigade, apart from the head of the brigade, there are only three or five people that Chen Ming knows. Time has passed, and time flies by. After all, this is the place where youth is carried.

When youth is gone, many people and things are gone.

"We're almost there, squad leader. Do you know that the artillery brigade of the 71st Army is my old unit?"

"Real old unit, new recruits are assigned here."

In the car, Chen Ming watched the car enter the boundary of Pengcheng. The familiar scenery and the air seemed so friendly that he couldn't help but speak.

"Haha, of course I know." Squad Leader Xiong drove and laughed happily: "I have never forgotten that when I was in the border defense company, you told us the story of Wang Shuaibing on the eve of National Birthday."

"The artillery brigade mentioned in the story is the 71st Army."

"The comrades in our class at that time felt envious when they heard that. They really wanted to get to know this leader Wang Shuaibing and learn from him."

"In the end, hey, we only found out later that Wang Shuaibing was you. The real Lao Wang is a big fat rat. He looks stupid and dull, but he is extremely smart."

"That can't be helped." Chen Ming recalled that past event, spread his hands and said with a smile: "At that time, I was implementing a study plan for further study at the Joint Warfare College of the National Defense University."

"Let us go to the grassroots level and not be exposed until we have to."

"At that time, our company's cafeteria was improving our lives, so I just took advantage of the atmosphere to talk about it. Who would have thought that so many things would happen later."

The old bear nodded and said nothing.

He knew that what Chen Ming was thinking at that time was to tell his story, go to the border defense company, and leave some deeds of his own, so that his stay would not be in vain.

However, due to sudden conflicts later on, on the National Birthday, the Second Company of the Border Guard lost many comrades, and even he and Bald Man were seriously injured.

If he hadn't been treated in time, he would have been in trouble.

But even if treatment comes in time, the border guard post at an altitude of 5,000 meters will be insulated from them in the future.

With the help of Chen Ming, I came to the Eastern Blue Army Brigade. Along the way, I feel sad when I think about it.

As soldiers, their experiences are quite extraordinary.

Chai Shuyao had already gotten off the car when passing by Pengcheng. She was going to visit Jinling's house and stay for two days.

The old man's home was also the home of Chen Ming's father-in-law. He was supposed to go there together, but the Military Region Military Games was just around the corner.

He couldn't leave.

They are from a military family, so these things are understandable. What's more, he may not be able to see his father-in-law if he goes.

The spring uniform maintenance has begun, and all units are busy reporting and applying. This kind of quarterly uniform change is no small matter for each unit.

After several months of training, running-in, and exercises, many parts of the army's tanks were worn out and unusable.

If you don’t take this opportunity to apply and conduct extensive checks, if there are any omissions, the next few months will be difficult.

Therefore, we attach great importance to it, no less than the preparations for a large-scale exercise.

The two walked and chatted along the way. Based on Chen Ming's familiarity with the road conditions, they soon arrived at the artillery brigade department post.

The opening day of the Military Games will be the day after tomorrow. Chen Ming came here early not only to attend the opening ceremony, but also to see how the arrangements were here.

So that Niutoushan could host it in the future if there was a chance, Lao Xiong reminded him before setting off.

Niutoushan has heavy tasks and tight time, but it cannot always focus on training and combat, these high-intensity arrangements.

Properly organizing some activities can also allow the soldiers in each battalion to relax and relieve the boring daily life of the military camp.

The higher the position, the more things Chen Ming needs to consider. According to statistics from the Fuzhou Civil Affairs Department assisting the tourism department, every Sunday in recent years.

Hotel hourly room business in various cities and towns has begun to increase significantly.

There is no doubt that this is when many soldiers are tired and take advantage of their rest days to take time off to go out, open an hourly room to rest, sleep comfortably, and refresh themselves.

These statistics have been forwarded to the brigade headquarters through the local departments.

The army naturally has its own rules and regulations. Unless you take a lunch break or go to bed at night, you cannot rest in bed or lie in bed.

This is a rule to maintain discipline. Chen Ming cannot change it, but he can relieve it in other ways.

The Military Games may be a good choice.

The vehicle stopped.

The sentry at the brigade department saw an unfamiliar military vehicle with a license plate, and one of the veterans ran up to it in confusion.

Seeing Chen Ming push the door open from the back seat and get out of the car, he glanced at his epaulettes, looked solemn, and saluted hurriedly!

"Hello, Chief!!"

"Hello, comrade." Chen Ming returned the greeting and looked up at the familiar brigade headquarters, feeling cordial.

He did not notify the artillery brigade in advance, thinking that he was not that big.

I'm just staying in the old army for one night, so what's the point of notifying me in advance?

Here are his former chiefs, who take good care of himself.

Unknown to him, the division headquarters had already conveyed the news for him.

"Comrade, I'm here from the 704th Division. I want to see Tang Brigade. This is my ID." As he said that, Chen Ming took out his military ID card from his pocket and prepared to hand it over.

The veteran on duty had his hand half-stretched. When Chen Ming said he was coming from the 704th Division, his expression froze and his hand stopped in mid-air.

At present, apart from the Blue Army Brigade, which has a division-level organization title, there is no second one in the entire theater.

Is this the Chief of Staff Chen who was notified from above? ! !

But why so young? Veterans' brains are a little overturned. Anyone who can serve as brigade chief of staff is not in his thirties or forties, carrying two bars and three stars on his shoulders.

Not only does this man look young, his military rank is only a battalion-level cadre.

"Chief, are you Chief of Staff Chen of the 704th Division?" the veteran asked uncertainly.

"Well, that's right. The 704th Division is the command and control department. I currently serve as the chief of staff, but I'm in the 169th Brigade. It's different."

Chen Ming smiled and explained that he had roughly understood that the division headquarters probably knew that he was coming here and had notified him in advance.

Otherwise, no one among the first-term non-commissioned officers of the artillery brigade would know him.

really.

The veteran heard Chen Ming admit that he didn't care whether it was 169 or 704, as long as the person instructed by above arrived.

He hurriedly waved to the back and said: "Quick, push the roadblock away. This is Chief of Staff Chen who is leaving our brigade."

"Hello, Chief, Tang Lu told me at noon today that you will come over today, just go directly to the living room."

"I'll call inside right now."

Before Chen Ming could speak, Veteran Sayazi ran back and helped push away all the roadblocks on both sides of the gate.

The enthusiasm made the old bear sitting in the car bewildered.

The sentry will check and let you go if there are no problems. Is this normal? There is no need to be so positive.

He was even more enthusiastic than someone from the headquarters.

Chen Ming was also quite surprised. He reached out and knocked on the car glass. He raised his hand and pointed to the artillery brigade parking lot, signaling Lao Xiong to park the car first.

When he came here, he didn't need anyone to guide him. He came to the Artillery Brigade Headquarters only a handful of times, but his memory was still fresh.

Especially in the brigade headquarters building, in the open space in front of the military emblem, I won third-class merit and could not go back as a new recruit.

Chai Shuyao was still a propaganda officer in the war zone at that time, so he specially took him and took several sets of photos in front of the government building so that he could show them to his family.

The two were not married at that time, and even Chen Ming never thought that the two would get together.

Now that time has passed, when I recall the past, it remains as vivid as yesterday.

The place remains the same, the people remain the same, but time has passed.

Chen Ming strode towards the government building, unable to contain his excitement. The artillery brigade held too many memories for him.

Tang Lu and Chief of Staff Peng are also familiar with him. They haven't seen each other for a long time and they are looking forward to meeting him.

The camaraderie among soldiers is the purest.

Before Chen Ming could enter the brigade building, Jiang Peng took the lead and ran out of the building.

"Chen Ming!!!" Jiang Peng shouted, his face flushed with joy.

"Instructor?!!"

"What a coincidence, you are also at the brigade headquarters today." Chen Ming looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

Feeling a little excited, he looked at Jiang Peng. He hadn't seen him for many years. At that time, he was in the recruit company. Jiang Peng had just graduated from the Command Department of the National University of Defense Technology.

At that time, it seemed that although he had a strong military temperament, he also had some stubbornness of a scholar.

When I look at him now, I see that he is much thinner, and his face is much more mature than before. The childishness of just graduating has faded away, and the edge of youth has disappeared.

Everyone was in the same war zone, and Chen Ming knew that he was currently serving as the deputy instructor of the Second Battalion of Yuanhuo, assisting the instructor in political work.

But that's not important. In Chen Ming's heart, Jiang Peng will always be his instructor, not only because of his position, but also because of his original help.

"Haha, what a coincidence. Tang Brigade specially arranged to notify all the battalions to come and see you."

Jiang Peng's response: "You guys are so proud now. Originally, the quarterly change time is tight, and you also know that our brigade is the top priority."

"But because of your arrival, Tang Brigade informed us all to come to the brigade headquarters to meet you, haha."

Following Jiang Peng, a dozen majors and lieutenant colonels walked out of the brigade headquarters building with smiles on their faces.

Looking at Chen Ming, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, they are not as casual as Jiang Peng. Although Chen Ming's current military rank is lieutenant colonel, his position is there.

The brigade chief of staff was one level higher than the battalion commanders present. What's more, he won first place in the brigade-level competition and defeated the main combined brigade of the 71st Army. His strength, position, and prestige were on display here.

They don't have such a good relationship, and they don't dare to be so casual.

of course there are exceptions.

Among the crowd, a lieutenant colonel came out, looked at Chen Ming, pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes full of relief and pride.

It was Xu Kai, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of Yuanhuo.

Chen Ming was the battalion commander of the lower company.

"Well done Chen Ming, you are indeed better than me, do your best, we old brothers are all watching you."

"Tang Brigade said that you are from our artillery brigade. I will welcome you when you come back this time, so that you know that this will always be your home in the military camp."

"If the artillery brigade goes to Niutoushan in the future, you have to be merciful."

"Ha ha."

Xu Kai raised his hand and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, followed by a captain, Guo Yuanzheng, the former commander of the recruit company.

So many years have passed.

There has been no change in his position. Chen Ming, who was a soldier under him, has now grown to a towering tree that can protect him from wind and rain.

Guo Yuanzheng, like the battalion commander, stepped forward and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, but was speechless for a moment.

"Battalion Commander, Company Commander, Instructor, hello!!"

They had nothing to say, but Chen Ming would not stand in a daze and take the initiative to stand at attention and salute! !

The superiors and subordinates in the military camp are very strict, but his situation is no longer within the regulations. No matter how high his position is, he should respect the squad leader and company commander who promoted him back then.

This is the most basic virtue of being a human being.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ming took the initiative to salute the others. Almost all of them were familiar faces from back then, and he could name more than half of them.

I thought I would stay here for one night and see how the military games were arranged the next day, how they were arranged, the rules of the competition, and management.

I didn't want to alarm anyone.

Little did he know that the superiors had notified him first.

"Hello comrades, thank you all."

"Haha, saying thank you is too outrageous."

"Yes, Chief of Staff Chen, you are also from our artillery brigade. Don't say that Tang Brigade has notified you. Even if there is no notification, we will definitely come here if we know the news."

"Chief of Staff Chen is really young and promising."

"."

When Chen Ming took the initiative to chat, the battalion commander who came behind him was no longer restrained.

Their relationship with Chen Ming can only be described as normal, or they are just acquaintances, but everything they say is true.

Even if Tang Zhen didn't notify them, they would still come over to see if they knew the news. The reason was not complicated. The commotion Chen Ming made in their artillery was not a small one.

In recent years, I have been dancing from time to time, and I have gained a good reputation.

Now he serves as the chief of staff of the Blue Army Brigade. As an officer, everyone wants to get to know such a man of great influence, or at least come and see him.

What's more, Chen Ming was originally a soldier from their artillery brigade, so the relationship could be closer.

Xiong Jiuchang parked his car and when he came to the door of the brigade headquarters building, he happened to see Chen Ming chatting with a group of people.

Good guy, no matter how stupid he is, if there are more than a dozen lieutenant colonels and majors in one brigade headquarters, they will know what is going on.

Such a grand welcome is better than any fancy form.

Xiong Jiuchang couldn't help feeling that Chen Ming was indeed a soldier who walked out of here, but he was also a person who brought some honor to this place.

People with strong abilities are surrounded by onlookers everywhere. If he could return to the border defense regiment, how many people would still recognize him, Xiong Jiuchang.

There is no comparison between people. Old Xiong stood in the distance and scratched his head innocently.
