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

Chapter 417 I treat you as a student, and you treat me as a teacher?

From around 11 o'clock in the morning, people started to report in one after another, and Chen Jun took a walk back to the dormitory.

From time to time, you can hear noises coming from outside.

Until noon.

Even Ji Tong, whom I had met in the previous report, came uninvited and pushed open the dormitory door very familiarly.

"Come on, Xiao Chen, it's time to eat."

Ji Tong walked into 202. He glanced around and saw Chen Jun sitting on a stool in a daze. He couldn't help but grin and said, "Are you bored waiting?"

"Don't worry, the college will notify you to hold a meeting this afternoon. Almost all the people who have reported have already arrived."

"Time is urgent, we won't be delayed too long."

It's because time is urgent that I'm worried.
Chen Jun grumbled in his heart but didn't show it on his face.

He got up and followed Ji Tong downstairs.

On the way to the cafeteria, Chen Jun did meet quite a few officers. He roughly counted them, and although the crowd was sparse, there were at least 20 or 30 of them.

A group of people who were either lieutenant colonels or colonels gathered together.

Chen Jun smacked his lips at the sight, then turned his head and asked.

"Chief of Staff Ji, what are the plans for this training arrangement?"

"Just call me Old Ji. What's the use of being a chief of staff? When we get here, we're all students."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tong waved his hand modestly, and then raised his hand to point to the back of the teaching building where Chen Jun had just passed by: "That area is where the staff cadets have classes."

"Further back is where the political officers are placed. We have the largest number of command personnel. I see there are seventy-eight people on the roster."

"They are all arranged here. There should be only one or two classrooms for classes, shared by all personnel. If the class schedules are different, they can be staggered."

"I don't know any more details. I just arrived a little earlier than you this morning."

Seeing that he didn't get any useful information, Chen Jun simply stopped asking.

There are four canteens in the National Defense University campus, and they are quite easy to distinguish, with one canteen each in the east, south, west and north.

The closest place to the area where Chen Jun and his team were was the North Canteen. Ji Tong was leading the group, along with several other service-like cadres, who were standing by the avenue with small flags in their hands, giving instructions.

People who come here for the first time will not get lost.

The North Canteen is divided into two floors, and Chen Jun came to the first floor.

How can I describe the conditions here? In fact, apart from the filter that comes with the National Defense University itself, the overall situation is not particularly amazing.

It’s not even as good as the First Army Group. The “aerobic dining bar” environment arranged in the agency is so good.

But this matter.

As long as you can eat without paying, the conditions are secondary. There is a small restaurant on the first floor next to the North Canteen.

That guy built it like a seven-star hotel.

The name of the restaurant is "Smart Canteen".

It is a type of buffet with weight-bearing capacity, and is said to be prepared for scientific researchers, that is, people who use their brains a lot, unless they have a dining card with special permissions.

Otherwise, if others go there to eat, they are charged according to the amount, so basically no one goes there.

Chen Jun strolled around the cafeteria and finally chose a bowl of oil-splashed noodles and a small portion of fried okra, then went to an empty table with Ji Tong.

Sit down and start to feast.

At first, the two of them were just chatting casually. The 12th Army and the 1st Army were both troops in the Eastern Theater.

In the military exercise a few years ago, Ji Tong was a member of the Blue Army, but he was too far away from the 1221 area at the time and had no chance to meet the First Battalion.

Of course, even if we meet.

The 36th Brigade, a motorized infantry unit, would have been defeated in ten minutes when it encountered the st Battalion, which was at its peak at the time.

Talking about the exercise a few years ago.

Ji Tong's expression was full of emotion. He put a piece of potato in his hand and sighed: "The battle report of area 1221 really shocked me."

"The battalion you led easily destroyed the amphibious armored brigade and defeated the main force of the 124th Division. At that time, I led all the comrades in the staff and made a simulation combat plan for the combined battalion during the ceasefire."

"As a result, there is no chance of winning."

"Although the disbanding of the First Battalion is inevitable, it's a pity, oh!"

After Ji Tong finished speaking, he sighed deeply.

Chen Jun could tell that Chief of Staff Ji did not bring this up on purpose, he really valued the combat effectiveness of the First Battalion.

But just like he said, it is impossible for a battalion to exist. Although the combat capability is considerable, the problem is that it is not replicable, and it is doomed to have a bad ending.

A battalion’s combat effectiveness is useless even if it is comparable to that of a division.

After all, it is not the desired result.

In other words, the desired effect has been achieved and the First Battalion has completed its mission.

Chen Jun didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. He was just about to start talking about something else when Teacher Lin, whom he had just met in the morning, walked straight towards him from a distance.

"Chen Jun, Old Ji!"

Lin Guoyong obviously knew Ji Tong. Seeing the two of them sitting together, he just nodded slightly to say hello.

Then he sat down in front of Chen Jun, took a look at the oil-splashed noodles and okra, and asked in surprise: "Is this what we are eating for lunch?"

"It's too plain. Let's eat something nice tonight. I'll take you to the South Canteen."

This sudden concern made Chen Jun pause with his hand holding the chopsticks.

As the saying goes, if you show kindness for no reason, you will definitely get something for nothing.

Lin Guoyong is a technical colonel instructor. Chen Jun doesn't believe that he just came over to say hello.

If you tell this to a dog, I guess the dog won’t believe it.

"Um, Teacher Lin, what's up?"

Chen Jun put down his chopsticks. He had already prepared himself mentally. Being targeted by this group of academics, he would not have a good ending.

"Haha, there is something going on. It's a good thing. The director wants to see you."

"director?"

Chen Jun subconsciously glanced at Old Ji, and Ji Tong was obviously also frightened by the word "Director".

Then he explained: "This time, we have three training courses: command, staff, and political work."

"Because the military reform period is quite special, the military headquarters and the theater have jointly established a military reform education office for this training."

"This, the director of this education office is the chief of staff of the Joint Staff."

"Isn't he coming to the academy too?"

Ji Tong looked at Lin Guoyong suspiciously, and his intuition told him that this was impossible.

Because the Chief of Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, strictly speaking, is the most powerful leader in all departments of the entire military.

The commander-in-chief of a military service and the commander-in-chief of a theater of operations will be slightly lower in rank due to the powers of their departments.

Even though the Joint Staff was divided into several departments due to military reform, its scope of authority was reduced and its level was downgraded, it is no longer as powerful as the former General Staff.

But this doesn't affect their awesomeness.

Would such a person personally summon Chen Jun because of a China Training Program?

impossible.

Lin Guoyong also realized that his address was wrong. He laughed awkwardly and added: "It's not the official one, it's the deputy director who wants to see you."

"Oh!"

Ji Tong let out a long sigh, and the deputy director's position made sense.

In fact, the Military Reform Education Office is just a training program in the major military reform. In addition to this, there are also the Reorganization Office, the Military Reform Supervision Office, and so on, with a total of more than a dozen departments established.

The purpose is to assist and speed up the implementation of military reform instructions by various units. The directors of these dozen departments are the same person.

That is, the Chief of Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

There are many deputy directors. Some departments have two, some have three or four. The real leaders in the actual sense are all these deputy directors.

Because the official has too many concurrent responsibilities, he only needs to control the overall situation and is at most just a figurehead.

But even the deputy one is very awesome.

Ji Tong glanced at Chen Jun. At this moment, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong. A deputy director was meeting a student.

What are you going to do?
Our old Ji is not the chief of staff for nothing. Considering the purpose of this training, and thinking that Chen Jun has already led a combined battalion.

They have experience and skills.

His mouth, which was originally used for eating, opened wide instantly.

Damn, is Chen Jun going to be promoted to instructor?
Holy shit! !
Thinking of this possibility, Old Ji suddenly felt a pain in his balls.

Just now he was teaching Chen Jun that they would all be students in the future, and it happened in the blink of an eye.

Could it be that he is going to be promoted to a teacher?
I treat you as my student, and you turn around and want to be my teacher?

Ji Tong felt so sick that he could hardly eat.

Lin Guoyong obviously had no intention of explaining and just urged Chen Jun to finish his meal.

Then the two of them said hello to Lao Ji and turned to leave the North Canteen.

. . . . . .

It’s still the same building as this morning.

However, Chen Jun did not enter the building at that time. This time he was led by Lin Guoyong.

Chen Jun had a calm expression and followed silently throughout the whole process, all the way to the top floor, which was the fifth floor.

Turn right from the stairs to the office at the far end.

After the two of them stood still, Chen Jun deliberately looked up at the sign hanging above the door.

"Director's office."

Boom boom boom! ! !
Lin Guoyong raised his hand and knocked on the door. Without waiting for any response from inside, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

He also waved to Chen Jun beside him: "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun quickly straightened his already neat military uniform and then strode in.

As soon as he entered the office, Chen Jun was stunned by the scene inside. It was messy, too messy.

To be honest, Chen Jun has met many leaders, but he has never encountered an office more messy than the one in front of him.

The floor, the sofa, and the desk were all piled with documents in blue folders.

Not only are they piled up, but they’re piled pretty high.

There are two maps hanging on the wall of the office, one is a map of the Eastern Theater Command’s garrison, and the other is a map of the Western Theater Command’s garrison.

The map is densely marked with special symbols. In addition to the two maps, there is also a data map that looks like modular artillery.

Chen Jun walked into the office. He turned his head and looked around. Perhaps only the area near the entrance was relatively clean.

It's really not easy to push the door open successfully.

Lin Guoyong, however, was not surprised at all by these scenes. He found a place to stay and strode forward.

The voice was loud and clear: "Director, Deputy Chief of Staff Chen from the Dragon Squad is here."

Maybe he heard a sound coming from the front.

Behind the desk, an old man with a head full of silver hair looked up and glanced at the two of them.

It was just a glance before the other party went back to work.

"Let Xiao Chen wait here first."

"Xiao Lin, go and do your work. Thank you for your hard work."

"Yes, Director!!!"

Lin Guoyong responded in a loud voice.

The director just said thank you for your hard work, and this guy seemed to be so excited that he was about to burst out.

He looked like he was energized by chicken blood, visibly full of energy, and then he strode out of the office with big strides.

Chen Jun was amazed at what he saw. It's true. Don't underestimate Teacher Lin's performance which only lasted for one or two seconds.

If it were him, he really wouldn't be able to do it.

Lin Guoyong left, and Chen Jun was left standing there in a daze in this office full of "bookish atmosphere".

In the silent space, even the breathing of the two people could be heard clearly.

Chen Jun wanted to sit down, but the problem was that there was no place for his butt to rest, so he could only stand there, standing at attention.

Time passed bit by bit.

There was no clock in the office, and Chen Jun did not bring his own watch with him in his backpack, so he could only feel the passage of time.

But I have no idea how much time has passed.

It could be ten minutes, it could be an hour.

Anyway, neither of them spoke during that time. Chen Jun didn't dare to disturb him, and the director didn't want to speak, so he deliberately left him alone.

The director waited until all the documents in his hand were reviewed before he looked up at Chen Jun.

"Chen Jun, deputy chief of staff of the 179th Brigade of the First Group Army of the Eastern Theater Command, 23 years old this year."

"Hehe, this is so rare!!"

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Deputy Chief of Staff Chen."

The director raised his head and straightened up. Because of the pile of documents on the desk, Chen Jun could only see a gray head.

Now the other person leaned back, and the two stars on his shoulders appeared behind his head.

Chen Jun was stunned. He just saw it above his head and didn't notice who it was.

Now that we see the full picture, and judging by the level of the National Defense University, there are only a few people who can have this rank.

What the hell.

No wonder Lin Guoyong was so excited just now because of the word "hard work".

At this moment, Chen Jun also felt the same feeling and experienced it personally.

He waved his hand quickly: "You are too polite, sir. This little time is nothing. It is you who is really working hard."

"Oh, really?"

The director stared at Chen Jun with a half-smile.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Dai Zhengan, and I'm in charge of the training for all of your units."

"You are just the first batch. There will be a second batch, a third batch, a fourth batch, and a fifth batch."

“And these materials.”

Dai Zhengan pointed at the desk and the folders on the floor.

"In order to prepare for this training, I looked up all the materials from the period when the army was equipped with mules and horses, and compared them to study the biggest features of informatization and synthesis."

“Find the best entry point for teaching.”

"But an old friend recommended you to me, saying that you might have a different perspective."

"So, I called you here just to ask you, what do you think of this training?"

What do I think?
I look at it horizontally and vertically.
Chen Jun was left speechless by this sudden question.

This doesn't seem like something he can participate in, right?
Giving him a combined battalion, Chen Jun did not feel any pressure, because if something went wrong, at most he would fail to lead a battalion, which was no big deal.

But once the Zhongpei arrangement is made, such a big move can easily affect the entire army.

There are several more waves to come.

Is this something he can get involved in now?

"Sir, I..."

Chen Jun wanted to speak up, at least to say a few words and express his concerns.

Get a guarantee first.

But Director Dai probably guessed what Chen Jun was thinking and raised his hand to interrupt him.

Then he stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall and stopped for a moment.

Then he said: "I know what you are worried about, but time is tight and the task is heavy."

"I have read all the reports you have reported on leading the First Battalion, and I have also seen the entire process of the formation of the First Battalion."

"You just need to tell me that the synthetic lecture hall that you originally opened in your first battalion copied the content exactly into the training classroom."

“Will it work without practice?”

"Commander, this..."

“You just have to say yes or no.”

Dai Zhengan seemed to be in a hurry. He was anxious now and didn't want to listen to any nonsense.

Seeing this, Chen Jun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "No."

"Learning without practice is like water without a source and a tree without roots. The theory of mechanized warfare is too deeply rooted."

"Everyone actually understands the concept of combat, and anyone can speak a few words on stage, but fighting is about details and leading the troops with spirit and energy."

“If you only learn the form but not the reality, you will not be able to truly acquire knowledge, have rich experience, and improve your ability to command and respond.”

"Oh, I knew you would say that."

Dai Zhengan sighed: "It's a pity that the first battalion was dismantled too early."

"But we have to demolish it. This is to show the determination of the higher-ups. Don't have any objections in your heart."

"Commander, I understand and I have no objection."

Chen Jun quickly expressed his attitude.

He can't wear such a big hat steadily.

"Well, that's good. You have experience and practice. Get ready and say hello to the comrades who are reporting in later."

"Also, which unit do you think is suitable for the practice?"

"I plan to divide the training into two phases. The first phase will be one month of study, and the second phase will be two months of practice in the workplace."

"You choose one."

As Dai Zhengan spoke, he pointed to the garrison distribution map of the eastern and western war zones.

It seemed as if he was worried that Chen Jun wouldn't understand.

He also deliberately pointed out the units marked with special symbols, and then moved them to different positions so that Chen Jun could come and choose.

When Chen Jun heard that he was asked to choose a practice unit, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

Do I even need to choose?
If he were to designate one, it would definitely be the 179th Brigade.

Not to mention that he is most familiar with the brigade, just say that he brought such a large group of free laborers to the brigade. These are the first batch of officers trained by the Central Training Institute.

They are the veterans of the first batch. With their help for two months, who among other units can compare with the 179th Brigade in the progress of synthetic reform?

Tao Lu's mouth was so happy that it was crooked.

You know, in special times, connections are the greatest resource, and Chen Jun has no shortage of resources.

A month later.

The company commanders and platoon leaders who were disbanded from the First Battalion have probably been dispersed to various units in the war zone.

As for the formation of a combined brigade, it shouldn't be difficult for him to just make a phone call to inquire about the situation and temporarily transfer a few helpers.

By then, he will have the people and experience at the grassroots level, as well as the assistance of the people from Zhongpei at the top level.

The 179th Brigade is likely to be the first to stand out and be the first to possess strong combat capabilities.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun smiled, and it was a very mean smile.

He walked quickly to the garrison map, searching for the troops in the Eastern Theater.

Under Dai Zhengan’s speechless gaze.

Chen Jun's finger steadily poked the position of the 179th Brigade.

"Commander, I think this is the best option."
