I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 353 It’s broken, this is coming for me
No matter how nervous I was on the way here, I finally got to see Li Haiyao's grandfather.

Chen Jun felt calm instead and raised his hand to salute.

His voice was powerful and neither humble nor arrogant!!
Old man Li Zhenhua looked the young man in front of him up and down, and it was hard to tell from his expression whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

He just nodded and smiled: "Well, you're welcome."

"You don't need to be so polite when you're at home. Come in."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Li Haiyao, who was standing next to him, knew that Chen Jun would not be able to adapt to this moment.

She quickly let go of her grandmother, ran to Li Zhenhua, hugged his arm, and introduced him with a smile: "Grandpa, I miss you too."

"This is my friend, his name is Chen Jun, please don't be so fierce."

"Haha, no need for Yaoyao to introduce him, Grandpa knows him."

"come in."

Li Zhenhua smiled brightly, and anyone could see that he really liked his granddaughter.

While pushing the old man into the house, Li Haiyao turned back and blinked at Chen Jun.

That playful look was completely different from her quiet personality in the first camp. Maybe it was because she was at home and became very relaxed.

Chen Jun responded with a smile, feeling much more relaxed, indicating that he was fine.

While the grandfather and grandson entered the house.

Chen Jun quickly bent down to pick up the wine jar on the ground, and Li Haifeng also came over to help.

This time Li Haifeng didn't do anything weird. He turned around and glanced at Chen Jun, with a generous smile on his face, and said, "Hello Chen Jun, my name is Li Haifeng, and I'm Yaoyao's cousin."

"My dad is Yaoyao's uncle, and I call Yaoyao's dad Fourth Uncle. There shouldn't be much difference in the way we call him in different places."

"Yeah, it's pretty much the same name."

Chen Jun nodded. Although Li Haifeng seemed unreliable just now, his introduction this time was quite detailed.

In just a few words, he described the situation at home.

"Let's go in."

"This is my home now."

Li Haifeng glanced at the military rank on Chen Jun's shoulder, picked up the jar of wine and left without saying anything else.

Chen Jun followed closely behind.

In fact, Chen Jun didn't need to say anything about these gifts, but Li Haifeng could tell that a lot of effort must have been put into the preparation of the wine and tea.

And there should be a lot of people helping with these two things.

The two men held the jar of wine and placed it in the corner, and Chen Jun quickly turned back to get the two cans of tea from outside.

In the main hall at this time.

Li Haiyao and grandma Wang Lanfang were nowhere to be seen, and the old man was fiddling with a set of charcoal-burning tea-making utensils on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Chen Jun quickly rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go over to help. However, as soon as he took a step, Li Haifeng beside him grabbed him and shook his head slightly.

Just signal to wait on the side.

Seeing that his grandson didn't take any action, Chen Jun's heart moved slightly, and he just stood by and watched obediently.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the old man's habit. He is still strong in his old age, and the older generation of soldiers are used to gunfire and bullets all their lives.

He doesn't like to trouble others for help in many things, even his family members. In the eyes of the old man, doing his own thing well is better than anything else.

In fact, he has always been restraining his juniors in this way.

Chen Jun stood in the main room and watched.

Li Haiyao was pulled by her grandmother Wang Lanfang to the living room on the second floor, which is generally not used to receive guests.

Li Haiyao was indeed much more casual when she arrived at her home. She took off the baseball cap on her head and threw it on the sofa. With her hair slightly messy, she avoided the chair and staggered to the sofa.

I picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, and started changing channels at random.

"This kid."

Wang Lanfang smiled, turned around and went downstairs to cut some fruit and brought it up.

Because Li Haiyao is the youngest granddaughter in the family, her grandparents have always doted on her. In addition, because she has not married, Li Haiyao has always been a child in her grandmother's eyes.

"Thank you, grandma. Please stop busying yourself. I'll sit down and rest for a while."

When Li Haiyao saw the cut fruits, she sat up happily.

Watching her granddaughter pick up the fruit and put it into her mouth, Wang Lanfang's eyes were full of pity.

It seems that because her grandmother was staring at her, Li Haiyao also became interested.

She quickly ate two pieces of fruit, picked up a tissue to wipe her hands, hugged Wang Lanfang's arm, and smiled with her long eyelashes: "Grandma, what do you think of the friend I brought here?"

"That child."

Wang Lanfang raised her hand and touched her granddaughter's head: "As long as you like it, Yaoyao likes it, then grandma likes it too."

"Chen Jun looks very energetic, and his eyes are very similar to your grandfather's when he was young. They both have a stubborn streak."

Hearing that her grandmother was satisfied with Chen Jun, Li Haiyao leaned her head on Wang Lanfang's shoulder, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

"Grandma, I want to go down and take a look. I'm afraid grandpa will embarrass him."

"Silly child, your grandfather is such a tactless person."

"Let's not get involved in men's affairs. Let them talk it out. You brought Xiao Chen home because you wanted your grandfather to help you check things out."

"Take a break. When you're done, come with me to buy groceries. Your second uncle will be back tonight. Xiaofeng and Xiaochen are both here. Just stay with grandma and entertain her."

Wang Lanfang gently patted her granddaughter's back, while Li Haiyao took off her shoes, leaned sideways, and rested her cheek on her grandmother's shoulder, feeling the atmosphere of home.

At this time, the environment in the courtyard is as peaceful as the scene at home.

Patting her granddaughter on the back, Wang Lanfang smiled kindly: "Yaoyao has grown up, and she will get married and live independently in the future."

"It's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises in the life of a couple. Look at us, your grandfather. The old man is a stubborn donkey. When something happens, he won't move away even if you lead him. He's always backing down."

"But we have lived like this our whole life, through all the ups and downs."

"Yaoyao, you also need to learn to tolerate Xiaochen's temper and take good care of your own family, and then grandma will be relieved about you."

Li Haiyao listened quietly. This was their family’s way of education, which might not necessarily be right.

But the younger generations in their families, both boys and girls, will join the army or not.

At least his personality isn't that bad.

The usually kind grandma was surprisingly unanimous in her opinion today and just coaxed Li Haiyao not to let her go downstairs.

Because in the eyes of the older generation, men are the backbone of the family.

Although Wang Lanfang had only met Chen Jun once, she had been teaching for a lifetime and had met too many young people.

She believed that her judgment was correct, and since her granddaughter was willing, they could be considered a rare match.

But then again, their family situation is special after all, and Yaoyao is the youngest granddaughter in the family.

In life's major events.

Wang Lanfang would not allow her granddaughter to interfere, she had to keep the necessary responsibilities.

If Li Haiyao was enjoying the warmth of home, then Chen Jun was enjoying the torment.

in the hall.

The old man fiddled with the tea stove, stood up and walked to the cabinet beside him, and moved a large blue and white porcelain jar to the coffee table.

Then he pointed to the seat next to him.

"Don't stand, come and sit down."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Chen Jun nodded and strode towards a chair not far away. He originally wanted to save a seat for his unreliable cousin.

I sat in the corner.

But who would have thought that Li Haifeng was even more unreliable than he imagined.

Seeing that the old man had spoken, this guy actually took a few steps back, smiled at Chen Jun, turned around and ran away.

Ran away!!! Holy shit!!
Even though Chen Jun had rich experience, he still couldn't understand his cousin's personality.

If you don't want to sit down, why are you standing there waiting for so long?
This guy. Chen Jun was also a little confused by the outrageous actions of his cousin Li Haiyao.

I had to sit down stiffly with my back straight and my butt taking up only a small space.

Li Zhenhua looked up at Chen Jun without saying a word. He took the bamboo tweezers and put the tea leaves in the blue and white porcelain jar into the almost boiling pottery pot little by little.

"Gududu"

Maybe it was one minute, maybe it was three minutes, anyway, to Chen Jun, it felt like it was longer than the four years he spent studying at Lu College.

The tea is boiling and the whole room is filled with the aroma of tea, which is refreshing and pleasant.

Even someone like Chen Jun, who always drinks water like a voracious gulp and has never known what tea is.

It is not difficult to tell that this is good tea by looking at the aroma of the tea. Just smelling it makes one's mouth water.

"Do you like drinking tea?"

Li Zhenhua asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun hurriedly stood up again: "Report to the chief, I, I don't usually drink tea."

"Sit down, there's no need for so many rules when you're at home."

As the old man spoke, he reached out and scooped out some tea and poured a cup for Chen Jun.

"how old are you?"

"Report to the Chief." Chen Jun was about to stand up again, but the old man glanced at him and he sat back in his chair.

“我今年22岁，虚岁23，1994年2月初9出生。”

"94."

Li Zhenhua raised his head and glanced at the military rank on Chen Jun's shoulder, shaking his head slightly. It can be said that there are no such people as lieutenant colonels at the age of 22 in the army, but they are definitely rare.

Whether it is due to military reform or other reasons, promotion too quickly is not always a good thing.

The old man had been a soldier all his life, so he could naturally see in Chen Jun the wisdom, competence, and calmness of mind that other people of the same age did not possess.

However, if he is promoted on the front line by taking advantage of the military reform, his development will inevitably be restricted by the military reform.

The reason why a rising star is so dazzling is that it shines so brightly the moment it rises.

When all the stars in the sky are shining, the star that once shone the most dazzling light is just one of the stars in the sky.

Because this star was too dazzling at the beginning and received so much praise and attention, once similar stars appear one after another, it will be easily forgotten.

Maybe it’s man-made, maybe it’s the law of the times.

"How is the work of the pilot camp going recently?"

"Report."

Chen Jun was about to answer the chief's questions according to the normal reporting process.

The old man waved his hand and interrupted him: "I told you, you don't have to be so polite at home."

"Don't call me chief, Yaoyao calls me grandpa, you won't lose out if you follow suit."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Chen Jun didn't actually call him grandpa. It wasn't because he was aloof or anything, he just felt it wasn't appropriate to change his words now.

"Everything is going smoothly in the battalion. The modular combat system has already taken shape, but it will take a long time to get it right."

"Ah."

Li Zhenhua saw that Chen Jun did not change the way he addressed him just because of what he said. Instead of being displeased, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"At present, there are some opinions in the military and military academies that synthesis means miniaturization, and this opinion has quite a few supporters."

"What do you think?"

Li Zhenhua picked up the water cup and took a sip slowly. He really had no intention of discussing work at home.

But for some reason, after seeing the level of this kid Chen Jun, the old man actually became interested in talking about him.

When Chen Jun heard the leader asking these questions, he immediately became alert.

There’s nothing I can do, it’s my major.

Synthesis means miniaturization, which means reducing the size of the troops.

Reduce the combat effectiveness of the original organization.

This kind of cognition, not to mention in 2016, even in later generations many people still hold the same view when talking about synthesis.

"Commander, I think there must be some misunderstanding in planning synthesis into miniaturization."

"Oh?"

"tell me the story."

Li Zhenhua looked at Chen Jun and spoke with interest, but his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Jun mentioned synthesis.

A smile with an ambiguous meaning appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, Chen Jun did not notice this.

He just considered his own thoughts and analyzed very seriously: "Commander, I personally think that using miniaturization to describe synthesis is absolutely a misunderstanding."

"In the days of muzzle-loader warfare, there were large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of people."

"In the era of breech-loading skirmishers, there were also large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of people. The reason for this kind of talk is that many people, after analysis, believe that combined forces are not suitable for the intensity of World War I and World War II."

"But I think this is wrong. The basic idea of ​​synthesis includes modularization, and modularization means that troops can be easily increased or decreased according to mission objectives."

"The battalion-level combined units are small, but we will have a combined brigade in the future. If the combined brigade is also small, there will be a combined army composed of multiple combined brigades."

"The basic characteristic of synthesis is not smallness, but modularity. Since it is a module, it can be large or small, which can meet the needs of flexible deployment."

"If you say that you only find out during combat that your troops are small and insufficient, this statement is a war paradox in itself."

"How could it be possible that after the troops were deployed to the war, they discovered such a basic problem as the small size and insufficient manpower?"

"Even if it does happen, we should reflect on the problems in investigation and analysis, rather than simply putting the blame on synthesis."

"In large-scale combat, the most consumed are the grassroots soldiers, whether it is the current artillery division or the artillery battalion, the largest unit in the synthetic force, in terms of combat for the grassroots soldiers."

"There hasn't been much change at all. The argument that synthetic firepower is not good or the scale is too small is simply not true."

"Or the people who raise this question have never considered the various factors necessary for fighting a war."

Chen Jun muttered to himself and talked about a lot of his theories.

Li Zhenhua never interrupted him, nor did he correct him.

It was not until Chen Jun was talking so much that his mouth was dry that Li Zhenhua pointed at the tea in front of him.

"Drink some tea."

"I understand your idea."

The old man chuckled, and then did not stay on this topic at all, but changed the subject.

He said directly: "Yaoyao's second uncle is the political commissar of the First Guard Division of the Garrison District. Did you know that?"

"No, I don't know."

Chen Jun's brain almost couldn't keep up with the old man's thoughts, and he just shook his head blankly.

At this time, the old man didn't care what Chen Jun said. He just continued to add: "Yaoyao's file has been transferred to the archives room of the Political Department of the First Guard Division."

"Working with her second uncle, the family can rest assured."

"The child is not young anymore, he can't hang around outside all the time."

"I heard that the commander of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment of the First Guard Division retired two days ago."

Li Zhenhua's voice stopped when he reached this point.

He knew that with Chen Jun's intelligence, he must know what he wanted to say.

The old man was right.

When Chen Jun heard that a battalion commander had retired, he realized that something bad was going to happen.

How come they were having a nice chat but suddenly the criticism was directed at him?
