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

Chapter 361 Arriving at the Agency, the Man with a Military Rank Tied to a Rocket

Inside the office of the 179th Brigade.

After Tao Junming answered the phone, he immediately stood up from his office and adjusted the brim of his hat.

Then he told the clerk beside him: "Go, notify Chen Jun from the first battalion to come to the brigade for a meeting. He is the only one here, so tell him to hurry up."

"Yes!!"

The clerk also heard some of the content of the brigade commander's conversation just now, which was about Nanjing and the meeting.

The matter was made to sound so serious, how could he dare to delay? He quickly ran out to make a phone call.

Li Haiyao stood there in surprise. She had not told Chen Jun before she came and wanted to give him a surprise.

Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived, the notice for a meeting in Jinling came down.

Li Haiyao had heard the old man mention the pilot meeting of the 179th Brigade.

It is said that the organization of the pilot brigade will be discussed and formulated in detail at the theater meeting soon.

Implement the work of the pilot brigade as soon as possible.

Since it is related to the 179th Brigade, the brigade commander and the battalion commander of the pilot battalion cannot be circumvented.

Knowing the above meeting guidelines in advance will help subsequent work to be carried out better.

After handing over the paperwork, he left.

Tao Junming looked at Li Haiyao, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, you."

"Report to the Chief, my name is Li Haiyao!!"

Li Haiyao thought Tao Lu couldn't remember her name, so she took the initiative to remind him.

"Well, I know your name is Li Haiyao. Chen Jun came to the trip a while ago, and eight out of ten sentences he spoke were praising you."

"Well, I have a meeting here and need to leave as soon as possible."

"I will arrange for someone to take you to familiarize yourself with the work of the logistics and finance department. You can also familiarize yourself with other departments in a few days. I will tell you the specific arrangements when you come back."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Li Haiyao responded in a clear voice.

The matter was urgent, and Tao Junming had indeed received a call from the military district, asking him to bring Chen Jun to the conference room of the Jinling War Zone headquarters to attend a meeting.

Anyway, the call said that we must arrive before 2 pm. Although it is morning, there is still some distance between Pengcheng and Jinling.

This kind of meeting cannot be delayed.

There was no shortage of female comrades in the brigade's logistics department. After Tao Junming gave a brief explanation, he arranged for the clerk to contact the logistics staff to come and take Li Haiyao away.

He took his regular clothes from the car, ran to the brigade reception room, and changed out of his camouflage uniform.

Arrange a vehicle and wait directly at the brigade post.

On the other side, Chen Jun had no idea why Tao Lu was so anxious to find him.

After receiving the notice from the battalion clerk, he hurriedly drove from the first battalion to the brigade headquarters.

When the car arrived at the gate, he saw Tao Lu from a distance. He was standing next to the car in casual clothes and looked quite anxious.

Chen Jun did not dare to delay. He parked the car outside the brigade headquarters, opened the door and trotted over.

Just about to salute and say hello.

Seeing this, Tao Junming waved his hand and said, "Okay, give the car keys to the comrades at the gate and ask them to move the car into the parking lot."

"Follow me to Jinling."

"Yes!!"

After receiving the order, Chen Jun turned around and handed the car keys to the sentry, then bent down and got into the back seat of the car and sat with Tao Junming.

"Brigade Commander, what's the matter so urgent?"

As Chen Jun asked, he glanced at Tao Lu's uniform, which was very neat, and then looked down at himself, who was wearing his usual camouflage uniform.

Suddenly I was a little stunned.

He had roughly guessed that it was because of a meeting. If it wasn't a serious occasion, who would be stupid enough to wear casual clothes? That thing just looked good.

It's not comfortable to wear.

"We'll find out when we get there."

Tao Junming responded casually: "The military called me to inform you to go to the theater to attend the meeting to discuss the establishment of a combined brigade."

"Combined brigade organization?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun nodded slightly and roughly understood the core of this meeting.

"Compilation" should be a more general term used to refer to the outside world.

Looking at the drastic measures taken to disband various units of the 179th Brigade, it was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The military will not take a step-by-step approach when making any decision. Before that, all aspects of the combined brigade's arrangements must have been carefully considered and hypothesized many times.

Even in terms of firepower organization, the military often follows the lead of the United States, but it is impossible to say that it always follows the lead of others.

There are always many considerations of my own, and I make some adjustments based on various domestic situations.

Chen Jun felt that the main purpose of this meeting was to establish a headquarters in the 179th Brigade and lay the foundation.

It is true that the compilation was discussed, but it is even more true that the decision had already been made from above.

Seeing Chen Jun asking a question without any context, and then sitting there alone in deep thought without saying anything, Tao Junming smiled and said, "Chen Jun, do you know who just came to report to the brigade?"

"Who?"

When Chen Jun was asked this question suddenly by the brigade commander, he looked up at Brigade Commander Tao in confusion.

But when he saw the smile on Tao Lu's face, he immediately realized: "Is it Li Haiyao who is here?"

"Ah."

Tao Junming nodded with a smile: "She just arrived too. You went to Kyoto and came back saying that everything was settled, no problem."

"But in the past few days, the brigade has not received any notification from Kyoto. I even suspected that you might be hiding something for the sake of face."

"But today, I saw Comrade Li Haiyao coming over, so I felt relieved."

"Thank you for your concern, Commander."

Chen Jun expressed his sincere gratitude.

The brigade commander was really taking special care of him by saying these things to him.

In fact, when he first came to the 179th Brigade, Chen Jun could feel that although the brigade treated him well, every time he attended a meeting, several leaders would listen carefully to his suggestions.

Whenever there were any needs in the camp, I couldn't say that they would be met, but at least no matter what he asked, Brigade Tao didn't make things too difficult for him.

Political Commissar Xu also talked to him, and Chief of Staff Feng was also very nice to him.

But Chen Jun knew clearly that a deputy battalion commander like him who was suddenly airdropped in was not considered one of the brigade's own at that time.

When I was polite on weekdays, I always felt a little distant, but later on, I slowly came to accept him.

Chen Jun, the person involved, is the one who can feel this subtle change the most. No matter what the reason is, at least this acceptance can indeed make Chen Jun feel different.

If the brigade accepts him, it will naturally accept Li Haiyao as well.

All of this can be judged from the fact that Tao Lu took the initiative to tell us and mentioned his own affairs with a smiling expression on his face.

This kind of acceptance does not mean agreeing to develop or work in the brigade. After all, there are transfer orders, so they will be allowed to come and work.

Including Li Haiyao's identity and so on, these are not reasons to accept it.

A brigade-level unit is a large unit, so who doesn’t have connections there?
In the military, it is not necessarily the case that people with connections can get ahead. There are many people who cannot get along with their leaders, and a large number of them are eventually transferred away.

It seemed that he heard the meaning of Chen Jun's thanks.

Tao Junming smiled and shook his head: "You kid."

"Try your best to do your job well. There will be a pilot program in the subsequent brigade. Also, please control your pettiness and show your ability when you should. Don't treat you like a piece of meat when you ask for a person."

"After work, go to the brigade more often. Comrade Li came to our unfamiliar unit alone, so you have to shoulder all the responsibilities."

"Communicate well with others and try to get your own things done."

"Understand?"

"Yes, Brigadier."

Chen Jun responded in a loud voice.

Tao Junming turned his head and looked at the barracks that were receding outside the window, remaining silent and not saying anything else.

No matter what the purpose of this notice to hold a meeting in the war zone is, it is bound to involve the issue of the pilot project.

Even though Tao Junming was running around anxiously all day long before the meeting notice came, as if he couldn't sit still, he was really waiting for the deadline.

The pressure in his heart is greater than anyone else's, much greater than the pressure Chen Jun felt when the First Battalion was about to start the pilot project.

After all, no matter what.

This is all related to military reform. It is much more difficult to lead a brigade-level unit than a battalion-level unit.

The most crucial thing is that Tao Junming has no experience in leading a synthetic unit, judging from the current situation of the first battalion.

Scaling up from the battalion level to the brigade level is definitely a challenge.

How could he not worry?

The venue for this meeting was at the headquarters of the Jinling War Zone Command, and Chen Jun had never been here before.

The main reason is that their rank is not high enough. Who would have nothing better to do than to hang out in the war zone headquarters?

The most important thing is that the theater army headquarters is located in Fuzhou. Unless it is a meeting involving military reform and has a relatively large impact, it will be held at the headquarters.

Generally speaking, the military region can solve the problem. If the scale is larger, the meeting will be held at the army headquarters.

After arriving at the headquarters, Chen Jun was basically like a quail.

He followed Tao Lu wherever he went.

Along the way, I adhered to the principle of looking around but never talking too much.

They set out early and arrived at the headquarters just in time for lunch. In fact, Chen Jun was not the only one who was cautious.

Tao Junming is also cautious.

The colonel is the boss in the brigade. It doesn't matter how arrogant he is in his own territory, because no one can control him anyway.

But when I arrived at the headquarters and went to the cafeteria to have lunch, I saw three colonels and two major generals sitting at the next table.

It's not that we are nervous. Judging from the shoulder straps, we can't tell that these people are from the field army. They should be civilian officers.

The key is that there are too many of them.

During the entire meal, Chen Jun hardly raised his head or looked around, nor did he pay attention to whether this government cafeteria was high-end or not.

He just stared at the cumin lamb and braised pork on his plate and ate them.

But it's okay.

After dinner, the two came out of the cafeteria and walked to the front of the war zone headquarters building, where they finally met an acquaintance.

The army group commander-in-chief Liu Jinwei and the political commissar Yang Yuqing, the two leaders came together from the other side and seemed to have just arrived here.

Chen Jun had never met Yang Yuqing before, but he was a member of the First Army after all.

How could I not know the political commissar?

Even through the cultural brochures or political propaganda columns in the brigade, you can see the other party's information, photos, etc.

Chen Jun had indeed never seen the real person.

But he has a deep connection with this political commissar.

The two cans of tea that I took away from Li Haiyao’s house some time ago were her private collection.

Yang Yuqing was even nicknamed "Dun Dun Rat" behind his back by a group of brigade-level and division-level cadres in the military region.

Chen Jun had also heard about this.

I met the two leaders here, and without asking, they came to attend the meeting.

Tao Junming called out, and walked over with Chen Jun to stand at attention and salute! !
Lao Tao should be more familiar with the two of them, and was directly ignored by Liu Jinwei. The commander-in-chief and Political Commissar Yang looked directly at Chen Jun who was standing on the side.

"Are you Chen Jun?"

Yang Yuqing looked at Chen Jun with interest.

"Hello, political commissar!!"

Chen Jun stood at attention and saluted again. Regardless of anything else, he had to salute a little longer just for the two cans of tea.

"Well, you're welcome."

Yang Yuqing returned the greeting and said with a smile: "I often hear people mention you, little brat."

"I finally met you today. You must listen carefully and seriously during the meeting. As the commander of the synthetic pilot battalion, you will have a chance to speak later."

“Don’t be afraid, just go on stage and share your experience.”

"is that OK?"

"Yes, Commissar, I will ensure that the mission is completed."

"OK."

Yang Yuqing laughed, patted Chen Jun on the shoulder, and walked forward first.

Now that he has met the head of his own army, what else is there to say? Chen Jun, the quail, continues to adhere to the only core principle of following the leader wherever he goes.

As for going on stage to express your thoughts or something.

Chen Jun was not too worried about this issue. He was not clear about the main content of today's meeting.

But it is nothing more than setting up a headquarters or discussing a combined brigade, detailed organization, and initial and mid-term work arrangements, etc.

Putting these aside, he really couldn't understand the meaning of coming here.

Chen Jun followed behind and observed roughly. The scale of this meeting was indeed not small.

The notice is that the meeting will officially start at 2 o'clock.

But it was only around one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were already fifty or sixty people waiting for the meeting in the reception room of the office building.

This doesn’t even include some participants who don’t need to wait here at all.

Among dozens of people, there was only one lieutenant colonel, Chen Jun.

In other words, most of the others are old men or in their forties or fifties. There are no people like Chen Jun who are in their twenties among the participants.

Even some unit heads and the civilian staff they brought with them were not as young as him.

In some situations, being young is not necessarily a good thing.

For example, nowadays, people gather in groups of three or five to chat with old comrades.

Chen Jun had nowhere to go, so he just stood stupidly at the door of the reception room like a javelin.

Except for his eyes darting around, there was basically no other movement on his body.

Chen Jun was getting really bored staying here. He stared at the wall clock in agony, wondering when the meeting would start.

Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.

Chen Jun turned his head subconsciously and saw a face that was not dark, but very serious.

Seeing the person coming, Chen Jun smiled immediately.

"Old Yang, why are you here?"

Old Yang is Yang Chuanzhou, the guy who follows Chen Huanran, the deputy chief of staff of the military’s joint staff department.

He had met Lao Yang when he went to Kyoto to participate in a war game simulation.

The two also stayed at the base during the 2015 military parade.

Including Chen Jun, who went to the military district to attend a meeting a few months ago, when he was awarded the rank of major, he also met Yang Chuanzhou.

Unexpectedly, I saw him again today.

"Why am I here?"

Upon hearing this, Old Yang rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He then glanced at Chen Jun's shoulder again, took off his hat and scratched his head: "You are such a beast."

"Military rank is tied to a rocket's rise?"

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and you've become a lieutenant colonel again?"

"C"

Yang Chuanzhou cursed under his breath, then pulled Chen Jun away.

"Hurry up, the chief wants to see you."

"Damn it, why are you standing behind the door like a broom?"

"It made me look for you several times."
