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

Chapter 443: Old Zhao's bitter history, reconstruction dilemma
The commander-in-chief had made advance notice, and the people in the Arms Bureau had no objections to the new director.

After this brief contact, Chen Jun finally figured it out.

These officials in the Arms Bureau are not the rough types who lead troops at all.

There is no rebellious temperament in him from the inside out. He stands there in a very elegant manner, with basically no resistance.

I guess so.

In the early stages of military reform, the Arms Bureau had heavy tasks to bear.

But unfortunately no one has a clue, so what's the point of talking about seniority at this time?

If someone is leading you, just be happy.

It's better than making no progress all day and being urged by the General Staff to come up with a plan every day, right?

After Huang Linfeng led the group over, he clapped his hands and reminded loudly: "Comrades, in response to the latest instructions from the commander-in-chief, our Arms Bureau will be changed to the Reconstruction Department in the near future."

"The new director of the Reconstruction Department is Comrade Chen Jun. Everyone, please applaud and welcome him!!"

Bang bang bang.
Upon hearing this, all the officers applauded vigorously, their eyes constantly wandering over Tao Junming and Chen Jun.

As the leader of a brigade, although the 71st Army was established only a short time ago, Tao is a frequent visitor to the military district and many people know him.

The main focus is still on observing their new director.

Although Chen Jun is young, he has a great reputation.

Facing everyone's gaze.

After the applause died down, Chen Jun strode to the front of the queue and raised his hand to salute!

"Comrades, please stand at ease."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Jun. I am currently serving as the deputy chief of staff of the 179th Combined Brigade. I am honored to be able to work with the comrades in the Arms Bureau."

"The commander-in-chief asked me to lead our reconstruction department. I will share my experience and insights on the reform of synthetic arms later."

"We can all learn from each other and strive to achieve the best results in the shortest time."

Bang bang bang.
There was another burst of warm applause.

You know, the Military Affairs Bureau has not had a good time recently.

In order to achieve the synthetic transformation, the military region and the General Staff urged it.

Huang Linfeng's scalp was numb from being urged so much, and he lost 20 pounds in two months due to worry.

The most important thing is that it’s useless to urge.

The military district chief was anxious, and the Arms Bureau could only withstand the pressure and keep going down to the units to find solutions.

But the words came back again.

The No. 1s of each unit were worried and at a loss as to what to do. They had no backbone personnel and no engineers, and were even at a loss when faced with new weapons.

What solution can Lao Huang find?
If it weren't for this, the commander-in-chief wouldn't have been so efficient as to pack up the entire department, change its name, and directly hand it over to Chen Jun.

There is really no other way.

Chen Jun looked at the queue and made sure that the group was ready and even had their luggage on the minibus at the back. Then he waved his hand.

Arrange everyone to board the bus and set off for the 179th Brigade.

On the way back.

Chen Jun has a strong ability to adapt and he sat in the back seat of the vehicle.

I have already started planning in my mind how to settle these cadres from the Military Affairs Bureau.

On the contrary, Tao Junming was caught off guard.

Before leaving, he was thinking about counseling Chen Jun and letting him be mentally prepared, because there were indeed rumors in the military district in recent days that they wanted him to take over the Arms Bureau.

Because of the other units, it is impossible for the 179th Brigade to make progress alone.

They themselves were indifferent.

But there was no clear order from the military district.

Lao Tao was thinking about this matter. The higher-ups should at least discuss it with him, or at least give him a heads-up as the brigade commander, right?

Who knew that the people above were so determined.

With just a few words, he packed up the entire department and brought it back.

"Chen Jun, how do you plan to place the people in the Arms Bureau?"

Tao Junming continued with some concern: "The reconstruction work is not the same as your joint training. The joint training mainly uses simulation to let people from various units understand the combat methods of the combined brigade."

"It is convenient for discussion and research on more combat methods, and the direction of organization can be measured by combat capability."

"But the mission of the Arms Bureau is to balance the work of the various arms of the military region's army. It includes not only synthetic and chemical weapons, but also other arms. Can you take care of it?"

"Try it, Brigadier General. I'm not too sure."

Chen Jun responded after brief thought.

He really wasn't very sure about this matter. After all, he wasn't omnipotent.

Today's 179th Brigade is almost becoming a concentration camp for officers, and it's all related to him.

There are more than 200 officers in the training program, and their specific learning needs are constantly adjusted according to the progress of the brigade.

Chen Jun couldn't help but worry about these things.

In addition, the command systems of the four recent combined battalions have been completed.

When trying out separate training on the training ground, he also needs to pay attention all the time to avoid the training direction going astray and wasting time.

Chen Jun also has to take into account the work of several battalions, including air defense, logistics, combat support, artillery battalion, reconnaissance, etc.

In addition to the military branch bureau brought back this time, there will be a group of officers coming to study in the next few days.

They are getting married on May Day, but they haven’t even taken wedding photos yet. Chen Jun has to think about the things he is responsible for.

His head was buzzing.

Recently, the only good news for Chen Jun is that as time approaches the end of March, the scope of military reform has been expanded again.

The border defense units and coastal defense units that were previously under the jurisdiction of the provincial military region have gradually been transferred to the jurisdiction of the theater.

Yang Fan and Liang Kui, the old brothers who have been "missing" for a long time, have finally received news recently.

However, He Jing was promoted to deputy company commander less than a year after graduation.

The remaining ones are all lieutenant platoon leaders.

There was no change in his position, but that was normal. He Jing had good grades in college and had strong adaptability.

It is not surprising that he was able to seize the opportunity for promotion with the help of the merger of coastal defense units.

These days, apart from contacting old brothers, the rest is all missions.

After returning to the trip.

The brigade commander may have been transferred and has not been in charge of any affairs in recent times.

After instructing Chen Jun to look after the arrangements, he quickly dropped the job and returned to the office to continue drinking tea.

No wonder he feels relieved.

When it comes to big things, Feng Qiuhu has been busy taking over management.

When it comes to trivial matters, Chen Jun takes charge of everything.

In terms of ideology, the political commissar, an old-fashioned man, leads the people from the political department to inspect the work from time to time. Now that the training has begun, a lot of people have come to help and learn.

What else can he do if he is not idle?
After watching the brigade commander leave.

Chen Jun was also lazy and simply threw the resettlement work and the task of leading everyone in the reconstruction department to familiarize themselves with the brigade headquarters to Li Wujie.

Anyway, this kid has gained a lot of knowledge by following Chen Jun in recent time.

It should be no problem to provide accommodation for more than 30 people, introduce them to the canteen, and familiarize them with the surrounding environment.

After Chen Jun finished explaining everything, he hurried back to his office and began to sort out the work at hand.

Let’s not talk about the issue of separate training, there is nothing to study about it.

It’s not like the First Battalion had never experienced this before. It was nothing more than spending the entire day on the training ground, explaining and practicing methods and techniques of coordinated operations.

We try again and again, striving to make the cadres of each battalion master the requirements of separate training first, and then gradually run in.

Cultivate new backbones through running-in, familiarize yourself with the performance of new tanks, and accumulate experience bit by bit. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

At the moment, Chen Jun was thinking about another thing, which was what Tao Lu had just mentioned in the military region.

Let him find a deputy chief of staff.

Familiarizing yourself with the work of the brigade staff as soon as possible can, on the one hand, reduce your own pressure, and on the other hand, it will also be useful when positions in the brigade change after Brigade Tao is transferred.

It is convenient to stabilize work arrangements in the shortest time possible.

This really put him in a difficult position.

To be honest, the position of deputy chief of staff is not important.

It really doesn't matter what the nature of the unit's composition is or how difficult it is to manage.

It all depends on whether the brigade commander and the chief of staff are the type to take on too much responsibility.

Once Brigade Tao is transferred, Chief of Staff Feng will serve as the new brigade commander. According to Chen Jun's recent observations, Old Feng is a bad person.

I'm really not the type of person who likes to do everything at once.

Take Chen Jun for example, it’s been almost a month since he took over the General Staff, right?

Old Feng probably forgot his duties as the chief of staff, and spent the whole day following the technicians to the company to collect information about tanks.

Supervise the artillery battalion and the combat support battalion to survey and map the brigade’s base and the terrain within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

He didn't care about what happened within the General Staff.

If Lao Feng likes to take charge of all the work, then after he becomes the brigade commander, Chen Jun's work will definitely be appropriately taken away from him.

He can also relax a little.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether or not to appoint a deputy chief of staff, or who to appoint, without having to consider the issue of ability.

In his heart, Chen Jun actually prefers to arrange for Zhao Ziheng to join the General Staff Department, to train him in advance and familiarize him with the work, so that he can serve as deputy chief of staff in the future.

After all, it's really not easy for Lao Zhao to get by.

I guess if he pours out his true feelings, he will at least shed a lot of bitterness and tears.

This military reform has been going on for almost a year. The deputy battalion led by Lao Zhao has become a deputy regiment, and several company commanders he led have transformed themselves into battalion commanders.

Even the most insignificant staff officer in the first battalion is now the commander of the logistics battalion.

But he himself is still the battalion commander.

Then how can you feel excited?
But some things cannot be investigated deeply. It is not that there are no vacancies in the brigade. The position of director of the political department is still vacant. After the military reform, the headquarters was rebuilt into a general staff, and many branch departments were added.

As to why the brigade did not transfer Lao Zhao's position, Chen Jun was not in a position to elaborate.

In fact, in terms of ability, Chen Jun prefers Fatty He.

Although He Yingtao is lazy, he is very tactful in his work.

Compared with Captain Zhao's conventional approach, it is really not suitable for the General Staff. In addition, Feng Qiuhu is unlikely to interfere too much in the work of the brigade.

If you only care about the overall situation and are busy expanding your own relationships.

The candidate for deputy chief of staff must be a capable person, so that Chen Jun won't be busy like a top all day long.

After thinking about it, the difficult decision made Chen Jun scratch his head while sitting in the office.

This matter is really difficult to deal with.

Since he couldn't make a decision for the time being, Chen Jun simply stopped thinking about it, shifted his attention, and continued to work on other tasks.

If Brigade Leader Tao doesn't interfere in the selection of a deputy, the political commissar doesn't care, and even Chief of Staff Feng doesn't give any advice.

Chen Jun plans to take some time to talk to Lao Zhao and get his opinion.

If Zhao Ziheng is determined to take down the deputy chief of staff, and is willing to save face and accept to work under his former deputy battalion commander.

Chen Jun felt that it didn't matter if he was a little tired, after all, no matter how mediocre Lao Zhao's ability was.

At least at the beginning, they never gave a hard time to their deputy battalion commander who was airborne, nor did they try to trip them up in private.

He has always been actively cooperative, so for this reason, it doesn't matter if Chen Jun is a little tired.

Don't get me wrong, although the Second Battalion also works under the General Staff, the Chief of Staff at least won't meet with the Battalion Commander every day.

At most we meet once during the weekly summary meeting, so it won’t be too awkward.

But being transferred to the General Staff Department as deputy chief of staff means being confronted with people all day long. Some officers would rather keep their positions than face this situation.

For similar matters, it is better to ask privately to first confirm what Lao Zhao thinks.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

As the news that the Arms Bureau was renamed the Reconstruction Department spread in the military, various units knew that Huang Linfeng was currently stationed in the 179th Brigade.

That guy, and the units that originally had a good relationship with the Arms Bureau, all contacted Lao Huang and asked him to come up with some plans as soon as possible.

Assist each unit in carrying out their work.

After all, the training of the 179th Brigade has already begun, while most of the other units are still waking up every day and are in the stage of staring at each other and exercising all day long.

The cadres in the brigade are busy making phone calls every day, visiting colleges, and looking for technicians to come to the unit to help.

The new tanks have been here for about a month, and many of the camouflage covers on them have not been removed even a few times.

How can you not be anxious?

But the problem is, there is nothing we can do even if we are in a hurry.

At present, all war zones must be organized in an integrated and informationized manner.

In this environment, who doesn’t need backbones? Even if a tank engineer is split into four parts, he still can’t handle so many units.

Not to mention the college, the technicians there are almost being squeezed out by people from various units.

In the early stages of military reform, it all depends on who has the widest network of contacts and can find solutions, and who can lead the troops to slowly run in.

Chen Jun had the impression that in his previous life, it was not uncommon for some synthetic brigades to not make any progress for half a year, let alone one or two months.

Lao Huang, the deputy director of the Reconstruction Department, is now stationed in the 179th Brigade. He is the savior that all units have been looking for.

Many people asked him to borrow one or two technicians from the 179th Brigade, even if it was just one first, so that he wouldn't have nothing to do all day.

As for why they don't speak up themselves.

Don't forget that when the 179th Brigade was just starting to gather its members, Brigade Tao also went to the military region to seek help.

But at that time, each unit used the excuse that they could not spare any manpower, and no one helped at all.

Now that Tao Lu is about to be transferred, he will not listen to those units' advice.

In Lao Tao's own words, he has done all the bad things to the bad guys. After they are transferred, won't it be easier for Feng Qiuhu and Chen Jun to contact other units?

Therefore, Huang Linfeng really couldn't stand the demands of other units, so he came to Chen Jun's office to complain.

December 3rd at 31pm.

Chen Jun was sorting out the new phase of transfer work for the students in the training camp.

Old Huang hurried to the deputy chief of staff's office.

As soon as he came in, he asked anxiously: "Director, should we start implementing some work recently?"

"I really can't stand it anymore. Several units call me every day, asking for help and see if they can transfer a few technicians from here to other brigades."

"Director, what do you think about this?"

"what's up?"

Chen Jun looked up in confusion and said, "It's no use telling me if you want to transfer a technician. I'm the deputy chief of staff. Go find the brigade commander."

"Oh, my old director."

When Huang Linfeng heard that he was asked to find Tao Junming, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

"It's not that I didn't go find him. I went to find Brigade Commander Tao, but he said he was no longer in charge and told me to find the Chief of Staff. I went to find Chief of Staff Feng, but he said the General Staff had no say in the matter of personnel transfer."

"I was asked to go find the political commissar, but Political Commissar Xu said he was in charge of daily life, not the transfer of personnel."

"Hey, Director, what do you think we should do about this?"
