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

Chapter 423: Dragon Class, Well-Deserved of Its Name
The content of the first lesson in the secondary training program basically does not differ much, and it is a unified national defense education class.

Chen Jun arrived at the classroom at 9:50 in the morning, and a teacher opened the red lecture at 10 o'clock.

The content is actually the same and there is nothing new about it. It all talks about how the armed forces are the cornerstone of national security.

To explain.

Chen Jun roughly counted and found that the content of the first lesson was divided into six parts. The first part was about the army’s flag, emblem, and military song.

The second part talks about military uniforms and ranks, the third part is the war zone, followed by the construction and development of the armed forces, the sacred mission of the armed forces, and the main weapons and equipment of our army at this stage.

What can I say about this thing?

The purpose is to deepen the thinking of the officers participating in the training, explain the party's program, and clearly shoulder the important mission of protecting the country's territorial integrity, ensuring the country's sea, land and air security, safeguarding national interests, and ensuring people live and work in peace and contentment.

Anyway, whether it is about process or deepening of thoughts, the first lesson is red education, no matter how high your position is.

When you come here, just sit there and listen quietly.

The Red Lecture lasts a total of sixty minutes, and the remaining 30 minutes are left for the members of the Dragon Class to get to know each other.

To lay the foundation for subsequent advanced courses.

Seeing the teacher busy shutting down the projection equipment and stopping the lecture, Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and shook his numb arms.

He rubbed his swollen and aching temples again and planned to take a rest.

He was busy until very late last night and then went to bed. At around four in the morning, someone came and knocked on the door. He kept writing and reading manuscripts, and he had read seventy or eighty of them.

Chen Jun felt that the fact that he could still sit here without his eyes being blurry or his head aching meant that he had an extraordinary physique.

The place for today's class is not the auditorium where we had yesterday's class, but they are adjacent and on the first floor.

This type of classroom is not very large, with only sixty seats in total, and they are single seats, so there is no possibility of students sitting at the same table.

The instructor asked the students to get to know each other and chat. Chen Jun was too tired, so he just turned his head and glanced around, then leaned back in his chair and stared blankly to rest his mind.

I didn't plan to go over and chat with anyone.

In the first phase of the Central Training Program, there were a total of seventy-six commanding cadres, and the number of people in the Dragon Squad was very small, only twenty-five.

Some of these people are lieutenant colonels, because anyone who can come to the National Defense University to participate in the training program must start with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Chen Jun had just barely passed the test. His neighbor Ji Tong was a member of the Tiger Class. Judging from his performance, he would be the leader of the 36th Brigade after returning from the training.

Of course, there are colonels in the Dragon Class. They are all extremely outstanding types. Being in their thirties and serving as colonels in a regiment, how can they not be outstanding?

If someone has no background or connections, and can rise to the rank of regiment commander in the army by relying on his own integrity in his early thirties, then he is considered to have made a great success.

There is not even any smoke.

Just as Chen Jun was sitting down to rest tiredly, the crowd in the classroom finally started to get lively.

There was a loud noise and the sound of chairs being pulled.

Chen Jun also turned his head and looked over curiously.

I saw that everyone who had been sitting upright and listening to the lecture just now began to drag their chairs around and chat with people at the adjacent tables.

A colonel who was sitting to the left of Chen Jun's sight was staring at the table next to him, his brows furrowed, and he looked as if he was thinking about something but wanted to say something but couldn't.

After thinking for a long while, he suddenly woke up, stood up, patted the colonel on the shoulder at the next table, and laughed: "I said you looked familiar, I seem to have seen you somewhere before."

"I remember now. I saw you in the military newspaper. You are the one guarding Kyoto, right?"

"I remember that's how you were introduced in the military newspaper."

As soon as these words came out.

The officers around stopped chatting and looked over, with a hint of curiosity on their faces.

Obviously, Man Zhongcheng should be a well-known name. He should have appeared in the military newspaper more than once, and many people have heard of this name.

A very powerful type.

Chen Jun's curiosity was also aroused. He looked in the direction of the voice and estimated that Man Zhongcheng was about 30 years old. He looked quite fair, but judging by appearance was useless.

The army is more supportive of people, and what's more, he has already been promoted to colonel and does not have to deal with the training ground all year round. Although he looks 30 years old, he may actually be five or six years older.

Full of sincerity. Full of sincerity. Very loyal.

Chen Jun chewed over the name in his mind several times, but it was still unfamiliar to him. He seldom read military newspapers, mainly because he had no time to read them.

However, being praised in the military newspaper as "Manchu Makoto who guards Kyoto" should not be a bad title.

It is estimated that they are from the 1st or 2nd Guard Division of the garrison area and are assigned to the Dragon Squad. These people come here purely for the training and have little to do with the military reform plan.

I took this opportunity to gild myself.

Chen Jun turned his head and looked for a while. He had no mood to go over and say hello, so he simply half-lay on the table, supporting his head with his right hand, staring at the other person and chatting.

When Man Zhongcheng was recognized in this way, he looked up with curiosity, stared at the colonel who spoke first, and then looked him up and down.

Then he asked curiously: "Who are you?"

The colonel who spoke first raised his head and laughed heartily: "Haha, it's really you. I have admired you for a long time. Defending Beijing and Tianjin is a great honor and mission."

After saying that, the colonel paused, stretched out his hand in a handshake gesture, and said to Man Zhongcheng with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuge Tao, and I'm from the Eastern Theater."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun looked at Zhuge Tao and frowned slightly.

He seemed to have heard this name before.

For a "nerd" like him who has graduated for less than a year and has hardly established any network of relationships in the army, the person whose name he can remember must be of some importance.

Just for a moment, I couldn't remember who this person was.

However, a cry of surprise soon answered Chen Jun's doubts.

"Are you Zhuge Kongming from the 36th Regiment of the 106th Division of the th Army?"

The person who exclaimed was none other than Man Zhongcheng, the one who defended Beijing and Tianjin. He once again looked Zhuge Tao up and down, then quickly shook hands with him.

At the same time, he kept saying: "Your 106th Regiment is well-known, the famous Hundred Generals Regiment, and the famous Red Army Regiment. I didn't expect to see people from the 106th Regiment here today. Nice to meet you, really nice to meet you!!"

Man Zhongcheng looked at him with enthusiasm and excitement, and it didn't seem fake.

When talking about the 106th Regiment, Zhuge Tao's expression flashed with embarrassment, but he did not correct it, just smiled and shook hands.

The group of officers around were completely attracted by the commotion here, and many of them looked a little surprised.

Chen Jun looked at the two businessmen praising each other and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

But don't get me wrong, this kind of laughter is not meant to be funny, it's just that he rarely experiences such a situation.

Some of them are just hilarious.

He knew the 106th Regiment, the famous Hundred Generals Regiment, which was quite powerful.

I couldn't think of it just now because Chen Jun is usually too busy. At most, he would just listen to Fatty He's mention of it and wouldn't take it to heart.

They can't compare with those old guys in their thirties and forties in the classroom who spend all day sitting in the unit reading military newspapers to kill time.

Chen Jun had naturally heard of the name Zhuge Kongming. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was very famous.

In the 15 Sandhurst competition, it was this Zhuge Kongming who led the team to participate abroad and defeated the teams from other countries. In fact, there are many such competitions every year, and there are many similar dazzling results. The reason why Chen Jun can remember him is because of the name Zhuge Kongming.

This gave the competition a mysterious feeling of strategic planning and victory from afar.

It was because of that competition that subsequent reports on Zhuge Tao's unit dug up the history of the Hundred Generals Regiment and it was brought up again, and Zhuge Kongming, who led the team, was also labeled as being from the 106th Regiment.

As for why Zhuge Tao was embarrassed just now.

This is not difficult to understand. The 106th Regiment is indeed a regiment of hundreds of generals and a red army regiment, but it was only in 2003.

The unit numbers and organizational structure of the 36th and 106th Regiments, two anti-aircraft artillery regiments and the division armored regiment under the 108th Division of the th Army were revoked.

Now there is only the 36th Motorized Infantry Brigade, there is no 36th Division at all, let alone the 106th Regiment.

Chen Jun lived next door to Ji Tong, who was the chief of staff of the 36th Motorized Infantry Brigade.

Zhuge Tao, who is at the center of the commercial bragging, belongs to a unit that inherited the honorary title of the 106th Regiment.

When the propaganda officer was promoting it, he deliberately brought it out and promoted it again.

[Note: Dear readers, some of the unit numbers are purely fictional, so don’t take them too seriously. The direction of most units in military literature is fictional. In reality, the 36th Motorized Infantry Brigade was rebuilt into a special warfare brigade as early as 2013 during the special warfare reform. It was later the 71st Special Warfare Brigade of the st Army. They are the units known as the Nakano Tiger Division, but since the novel is fictional, I won’t write about it in such detail.]

. . . . . . . .

After all, they are praising each other, so they must follow the highest standards.

Man Zhongcheng also deliberately mentioned the propaganda in the military newspaper. According to the 36th Regiment of the 106th Division, it just sounds more awesome.

Seeing that the people nearby were attracted by the topic of the two people, Chen Jun felt a sense of emotion.

It's worthy of being called the Dragon Class, there are really many hidden talents, and not a single character is simple.

These people are young and lack experience. In this wave of military reform, those who are not in the Tiger Class have great advantages and will not be the first batch to take on the main responsibility.

But it’s powerful enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are the tiger generals of the middle-aged and young generations.

After seeing the best of the Dragon Class, it would be impossible for Chen Jun to say that he had no thoughts in his mind. He was more or less a little uneasy.

Not to mention Man Zhongcheng, the possibility that the people in the garrison will compete with me in the future cannot be said to be zero, but it can only be said to be very small.

And this Zhuge Tao is a member of the 12th Army.

That means that from now on, he and I will be cadres of the 71st Army.

At present, among the 71st Army cadres that Chen Jun knows of, there are already three who have come to participate in the first batch of training.

Besides him, Ji Tong is one, and Zhuge Tao is also one.

At this time, Chen Jun began to sincerely feel that the road to promotion in the future might not be so easy.

It is far from as simple as I imagined.

In the camp before.

The only cadres Chen Jun could come into contact with were people like Zhao Ziheng, Xiao Jianfeng, and Lin Jinhua.

This is not to say that Chen Jun looks down on them, far from it. It’s mainly because he has been with people like Zhao Ziheng for a long time.

Chen Jun would have the illusion that this was the level of his cadres. Relying on his status as a "veteran", he made preparations in advance, accumulated military merits, and started preparing a few years ago in order to take advantage of the current military reform.

Elevate yourself.

The journey was so smooth that Chen Jun had some illusions.

I feel there are not many strong opponents.

But now, seeing the best of these colonels, I feel like I have suddenly realized something.

After all, everyone’s starting point is basically the same now.

Although Chen Jun was able to take advantage of the military reform, the convenience he can rely on will become less and less in the future.

The people in front of me are excellent to begin with, and they will not become mediocre just because of a momentary lack of understanding.

At this moment, Chen Jun truly felt the threat and urgency from the bottom of his heart.

But that's all.

No matter if there is a threat or a sense of tension, in short, it will be more fun only when you compare yourself with the strong.

Wouldn't it be too boring if they were all ordinary lieutenant colonels or colonels?

While the two were praising each other, more and more people around them joined in, introducing themselves enthusiastically.

How should I put it? Anyway, after listening to them all, Chen Jun found that none of them were simple characters.

The students in the Dragon Class are either extremely outstanding themselves or come from well-known units.

If anyone's unit doesn't have two honorary titles, it would be embarrassing to say hello.

Chen Jun was originally quite tired and didn't want to move much, but he listened to a group of people talking excitedly.

I couldn't help but stand up eagerly to try it.

Then he walked into the crowd and said with a smile: "It is my honor to study with you seniors."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Jun, and I'm from the 179th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Eastern Theater Command."

Chen Jun came over with a smile and greeted warmly, and his words were quite polite.

But it was because of his coming over that a group of officers who were chatting happily saw him and their smiles froze in an instant.

There were even a few people who twitched their lips and felt secretly dissatisfied in their hearts.

Damn it, who in this room doesn’t know that you are Chen Jun?
No one wants to talk to you, don't you know what's going on? You are the teacher, should we call you Chen Jun or teacher when we go there?
Among this crowd of people who were mostly over 30 years old, a young man in his early twenties suddenly came over, with the title of teacher.

Although there is a sequence in learning and different specializations in skills, there is no order in learning, and the one who achieves first can be the teacher.

But Chen Jun’s identity is helpless. He is not a teacher at the National Defense University. He and the other officers present are just commanders and fighters.

We have the same identity, so who the hell cares whether he achieves it or not.

That’s not important. What’s important is that as officers, especially those in the Dragon Squad, they all have their own pride.

It is really difficult to say "Teacher Chen".

But Chen Jun seemed not to notice the changes in expressions of the people around him. He naturally stretched out his hand and looked at Zhuge Tao.

"Hello, Zhuge Kongming, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

"And Colonel Man, I have admired you for a long time. It is my honor to study with you."

Chen Jun laughed so happily.

But Zhuge Tao and Man Zhongcheng, who had been talking quite happily just now, both smiled bitterly.

He raised his hand and shook hands with Chen Jun.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, what the hell, why did you have to come over here when you could just sit there?
Who doesn't know you here?
Can we still have a pleasant chat?
