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

Chapter 458 This is the charm of my alma mater

After reading the message, Chen Jun sighed inwardly, got up from the bed and washed his face.

The cold touch forced him to suppress the feeling of loss at separation.

After I feel I am awake enough.

Chen Jun then called Li Haiyao and Chen Yingying, who was staying in the lounge concentrating on watching the drama, to go to his father-in-law's residence to discuss the next steps.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy in the army, so the leave cannot be extended for too long.

Marriage leave is not allowed either.

My parents are in a hurry to go back today to plan the wedding in their hometown.

We spent so many days at the Dongjiao Hotel, where we had meals and lodging, although the decision was made by the old man himself.

But you have to pay for it.

A few days ago, Chen Jun calculated that, except for Hall No. 1, all other facilities of this 300,000 square meter hotel are open to the public.

Even at the lowest internal price, the rental fee for one day is almost 100,000.

This is just the explicit bill. The other favors are not something that he and Li Haiyao can afford now.

Fortunately, I had the card my parents left for me in advance, plus the gifts I received at the wedding banquet.

Payment is not a problem.

One wedding banquet consumed at least two of my welfare housing units. Chen Jun calculated this in his mind and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When walking to the lobby and passing the hotel entrance, Chen Jun inadvertently saw the armed police detachment captain Fu Lei still on duty outside.

Since I'm getting married these days, the busiest person has to be Captain Fu. The armed police detachment has increased from one company at the beginning to three companies later, and there is almost a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps on the periphery.

After finishing his work, he suddenly saw Captain Fu still there. Chen Jun pondered for a moment, then turned around and said to Chen Yingying, who was just looking down at her phone: "Yingying."

"What are you doing?" Chen Yingying looked up at Chen Jun blankly.

"Go to the storage room and get a few more cartons of cigarettes. I'll be waiting for you at the door."

"Oh~"

The little girl responded reluctantly, and in the end Li Haiyao took her away with her.

Chen Jun shook his head and straightened his military uniform. Before he took a step, the smile on his face had already faded.

He strode towards Fu Lei.

Old Fu has been very tired these days. Damn it, he is not tired from working on duty, but he is mainly mentally exhausted.

Damn, he didn't expect that so many leaders would come to a wedding banquet.

As a result, the detachment did not receive the news in advance, and the outer alert level kept rising.

He originally thought that this was a good opportunity equivalent to a vacation.

Who would have thought that after a few days of work, it would become even more tense than sounding the first level of combat readiness.

Especially today, I dared not even breathe, and I dared not even sit on the chair.

We patrolled and guarded the entrances and exits near the eastern suburbs at all times, and watched many guests leave after welcoming and seeing them off until four in the afternoon.

Fu Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At first he felt embarrassed after smoking two packs of cigarettes from Chief of Staff Chen.

After all, it's my duty.

It doesn't take much effort.

Now, Old Fu felt that it was totally natural. If he had known that this field mission was so difficult, he would not have come at all.

Avoid asking for leave in advance.

Even the captain of the Jinling Armed Police Detachment had to come here for patrols three times a day. Just thinking about all the guests coming over made his scalp tingle.

Why is there such a big fuss about the brigade chief of staff just getting married?
"Captain Fu!!"

When Fu Lei was standing aside to rest, he suddenly heard a soft call from behind him.

When Old Fu heard this, his face froze, and then he quickly raised his hand to rub his stiff face, then turned to look at Chen Jun who was walking over.

Seeing that he was the only one coming, Fu Lei breathed a sigh of relief and saluted, "Chief of Staff Chen."

"Is this the end of the work?"

"Well, it's almost finished." Chen Jun smiled in return.

"Thank you for troubling me these past few days, Captain Fu. I will definitely entertain you alone when I am done with my work."

"No, no, no, Chief of Staff Chen, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lei waved his hands repeatedly.

He was quite reluctant about Chen Jun treating him, but he decided to give up. He really couldn't stand the secondary torture of a wedding banquet.

Don’t say that there are many leaders coming here or the task is particularly difficult. The problem is that it doesn’t matter to him, who is just in charge of security.

“Old Liu!!”

In order to change the topic of the private dinner, Fu Lei turned around and called over another captain who was on duty with him.

The "Old Liu" mentioned by Old Fu is also a captain, but he looks much more gentle and wears a pair of glasses.

"Hello, Chief of Staff Chen!!"

When Lao Liu came over, he also stood at attention and saluted.

"This is Liu Jinyu, a comrade who was temporarily transferred from the Traffic Detachment to assist our Jinling Mobile Detachment."

Fu Lei introduced from the side.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun also greeted politely. He could naturally hear the evasion in Captain Fu's words.

Then there is no need to talk too much.

After Chen Yingying and the others brought the cigarettes over, Chen Jun handed the cigarette to Lao Fu with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Fu. This is a little gift from me. You can share it with Captain Liu."

After saying this, without paying any attention to Fu Lei's wonderful expression after he took the cigarette, he waved his hand and strode into the hall.

He had already walked several dozen meters away.

Chen Jun could still vaguely hear the two captains arguing with each other in the background.

Chen Jun couldn't care less, as he originally wanted to thank Lao Fu, and there were comrades from the traffic detachment outside.

Chen Jun naturally knew this, but in this kind of situation he could only take care of his comrades in front of him and thank them for their hard work.

There were too many soldiers on duty, and he couldn't thank them all, so it was Old Fu who called Captain Liu over himself.

Can't blame yourself.

This is just a small episode.

Next, Chen Jun will be busy with the wedding banquet in his hometown.

Naturally, Li Haiyao's family members also have to go there. The eldest uncle and the second uncle don't have to go, but at least Li Hongyang and Qin Meilan have to go.

After all, if the bride's parents are not present at a wedding banquet in a small place, and the news spreads, who knows how the old family will frame the matter.

After a busy day, after finishing their work at the Dongjiao Hotel, the group hurried back to their hometown.

. . . . . . . . .

Time flies, and soon two months have passed.

During this period, the welfare house of Chen Jun and Li Haiyao was finally renovated, but the newly renovated house had a strong odor, which was harmful to the human body.

The two of them only go back to live there occasionally.

Due to the busy work in the brigade, most of the time, the two of them still lived in the brigade dormitory.

Of course, the dormitory conditions are not bad either.

Both of them are already married, and the chief of staff's dormitory is a one-bedroom apartment, so it's no problem to get by with it on a daily basis.

Apart from the issue of accommodation.

The training has officially ended during this period, and the officers who studied here have returned to their respective units to contribute their efforts.

The joint teaching and training work is still going on, but most of the work nowadays no longer requires Chen Jun to do it personally.

Thanks to the work of the various battalions of the 179th Brigade, with the assistance of all parties, it gradually got back on track.

The explanations of grassroots battalion commanders and watching on-site operations are much more useful than watching a simulation system.

In addition, a month ago, Tao Junming was also transferred to the 72nd Army as deputy chief of staff.

Strictly enforce the reconstruction work over there.

The commander of the 179th Combined Brigade is Feng Qiuhu, the political commissar is still Xu Wensheng, the chief of staff is Chen Jun, and the deputy chief of staff is Fatty He.

After the training ended, Yang Chuanzhou, who had never held an official position in the brigade, also served as the director of the brigade’s political department.

This bastard's luck is really good. After participating in a training course, he successfully gained a foothold in the brigade.

The position structure in the brigade has basically stabilized.

I am afraid there will be no changes for a long time.

April 7st morning.

Chen Jun sat in the chief of staff's office, reading through the recent reports on the various brigades from the Reconstruction Department.

The reconstruction work is now basically handled by Chen Jun alone. The military has added personnel to the reconstruction department, and even some comrades from the military region's general staff have been transferred down.

The work is actually not complicated.

First, the able-bodied men that Chen Jun had forcibly captured from various units were gradually transferred to other units after being used and trained in his brigade for a period of time.

Second, the reconstruction department staff are assigned to station at each unit in order to monitor the progress of each unit’s work.

There is nothing much to say about this. The headquarters assigned the reconstruction task to Chen Jun. Substantive work reports are required every once in a while. If the people in the reconstruction department are always gathered together.

It doesn't work.

Third, the military region assigned a group of people from the General Staff to Chen Jun to conduct secret visits and inspect the implementation of the integrated reconstruction of various units.

It doesn’t matter whether the people in charge of auditing understand synthesis or not. We don’t really expect them to check the soldiers anyway. The main thing is to check the cadres of various units.

Check their work style and their enthusiasm for work. Chen Jun will take people to check on whoever is lazy and conduct a series of military project evaluations and inspections.

This kind of situation is usually accurate once checked. During the period of integration, look at the 179th Brigade. Those cadres want to live on the training ground every day and lie on the tanks to do research.

Once it is discovered that a unit is slacking off or not being proactive, there will definitely be some problems.

It is true that the Reconstruction Department’s responsibility is reconstruction.

But if we must say that they are collectively rectifying the military regions and various units, there is nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, there is only one purpose, whether you know how or not, you have to get busy.

Being busy is also being busy. If you are not busy, then Chief of Staff Chen will bring people to "ask about your well-being" and watch you busy.

It was July now, and it was a scorching hot day outside with temperatures around 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, with the chirping of summer cicadas ringing in our ears.

Chen Jun has also become a lot lazier. In recent days, he has tried not to go out unless necessary. He just stays in the office reading reports or military newspapers.

Quite comfortable.

Don't get me wrong, Chen is not slacking off, it's just that the focus of his work has shifted.

When he was a battalion commander, he had to keep an eye on the training of each company. The duty of a company commander was to closely monitor the military training results of every soldier in the company.

Then the battalion commander must always pay attention to the overall situation of each company.

The deputy chief of staff also has to pay attention to each battalion. Now Chen Jun’s busiest period has passed.

For most decisions, you can basically grasp the information at the grassroots level by reading the reports.

This is also the reason why military officers must have grassroots experience. After all, when they get promoted in the future, they will not be able to achieve sufficient grassroots experience as support.

Even if you read a report, you still can't understand the actual situation of the units below.

While Chen Jun was checking the reports and thinking about the progress of each unit, there was a knock on the door of the chief of staff's office.

Before he could respond, Brigade Commander Feng Qiuhu pushed the door open and strode in.

"brigadier?!!"

When Chen Jun saw the person coming, he stood up quickly.

"Sit down, sit down." Feng Qiuhu waved his hand: "I came to see you for a private matter, don't make so many unnecessary things."

"sit down."

"Yes!!"

Feng Qiuhu's personality is different from Tao Junming's. Tao Junming is a relatively conventional person.

But this Feng Lu seems much more easy-going.

Of course, this kind of easy-going attitude can only be maintained if the people below do nothing wrong.

Feng Qiuhu walked into Chen Jun's office. He first looked up and looked around, and then sat down on the sofa beside him.

"Chen Jun, how is the work of your reconstruction department going these days?"

"It went pretty well."

Chen Jun nodded, then stood up, took a pack of cigarettes from the desk and gave one to Feng Lu.

Then he pulled over a chair and sat next to it.

"If there's no problem at work, you can take a few more days off."

Feng Qiuhu spoke slowly.

But when Chen Jun heard this, he was stunned.

What the hell?
Let him take leave at this time?
When I took my wedding leave before, I didn’t stay in my hometown for a few days, but the phone call in the trip started to ring on time every day, just like punching in at work.

This made Chen Jun unable to rest well, but who can blame us for having such a high level of awareness?

It was during the reconstruction period of the military region, and there was a lot of work waiting for him, so he just came back.

I've only worked for a few days and I want to ask for leave again?
Feng Qiuhu turned his head and stared at Chen Jun's surprised expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Looking at you like this, I guess you didn't receive the news."

"You are a graduate of Xijing Border Academy. Your Army Border Defense Academy has been rebuilt and will be merged with the other two campuses to become the Army Border and Coast Defense Academy."

"In the past few days, many graduates of your college have returned to their alma mater to participate in the ceremony and contribute to the college."

"Principal Feng just went to your wedding when you got married. The academy needs you to go back now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to go back?"

Holy shit! !
Upon hearing about the merger and reconstruction of the colleges, Chen Jun immediately raised his hand and knocked his forehead, secretly blaming himself for forgetting such an important thing.

When he first met Principal Feng in Jinling, he remembered this matter, but he was too busy with follow-up work and forgot about it.

"okay."

Seeing that Chen Jun really didn't know, Feng Qiuhu raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "I just received a call from the military district political commissar Peng, asking if you have set out yet."

"I just remembered."

"The college didn't notify you. Maybe they thought you were too busy with your work and didn't inform you on purpose."

"But the school leaders have taken your problem into consideration. You can't be ignorant. Pack up and leave as soon as possible."

"Also, bring Comrade Li Haiyao with you. Now that you're married, you can't go around alone every day."

"Especially returning to my alma mater to attend the celebration."

"Understood?"

"Yes!!"

Watching Feng Lu leave, Chen Jun pondered for a while.

He felt that this time the college not only failed to notify him, but also probably failed to notify Chu Hongfei and the others.

Otherwise, this guy would have received the news long ago. The reconstruction of the college is no secret and there have been rumors about it a long time ago.

Chu Hongfei had sent him a text message to remind him that it was time to set off.

But there is no movement?
While Chen Jun took out his cell phone to make a call, he patted Li Wujie who was sitting in a daze in the working hall of the General Staff Headquarters.

"Go drive the car to the brigade post."

"Pack your own luggage and come with me on this business trip."

"Yes!!"

Xiao Wu was originally sitting there listlessly, but when he heard that he was going on a business trip, he stood up immediately.

Ran out quite aggressively.

This guy is about to sign the first term and has been quite active recently. He hopes to follow Chen Jun to the third term and then change careers, go home to have an easy job and get married.

Chen Jun made several calls in a row but no one answered, so he simply gave up.

I went downstairs to the logistics department to talk to Li Haiyao about this.

To be honest.

Our Chief of Staff Chen actually hopes from the bottom of his heart that he can return to his alma mater in glory.

But don't get me wrong.

Chen Jun's mentality is not to show off.

For such an important occasion, it is estimated that most of the leaders who have left their alma mater will return.

Even if he wants to show off, it's not his turn.

Chen Jun just wanted to see if there were any changes in the college he had been away from for more than a year.

Compared to the 179th Brigade, he spent longer time in the Army Academy and had deeper feelings for it.

Of course, more importantly.

Chen Jun feels that visiting his alma mater as a student is different from returning to his alma mater as an officer.

This feeling must be different.

Li Haiyao had no objection to this decision. Anyway, the logistics work in the brigade was not very busy recently.

She can walk away, too.

After packing up, Chen Jun ran to Feng Lu’s office to say goodbye.

By the way, he took a detour and went to the political commissar's office to "borrow" two cans of tea as gifts.

have to say.

It would be great if the unit had a leader who loved tea and liked to collect it.

No need to think about what gifts to bring wherever you go.

I don’t know why, but since Brigade Leader Tao was transferred away, Political Commissar Xu’s private collections don’t seem to be as valuable as before.

It was easy for him to borrow two cans.

Wait until everything is ready.

Driven by Li Wujie, the three of them set out from the military region and headed for Xijing.

Pengcheng is not far from Xijing, the whole journey is more than 800 kilometers. If there is no delay on the road, it should be possible to get there in a little more than nine hours.

On the way there, Li Haiyao might have known that Chen Jun was going back to his original college.

She also talked a lot with great interest, including things about the National University of Defense Technology.

But how to say this.

The National University of Defense Technology, whose full name is the National University of Defense Technology, is best known for its scientific research and technology majors. If it really were to compare its command department, it might not be a match for the Army Academy.

Including the training for students, what Li Haiyao talked about is difficult to compare with what Chen Jun experienced.

As the saying goes, a young man shaking his clothes can become a sail for a thousand miles.

It is not inappropriate to use it to describe the Army Border Defense Academy.

The motherland has 4 kilometers of border and coastal defense, and generation after generation of alumni from the college are like those steel nails rooted in the frontier.

The mission contained here cannot be felt in other colleges.

at last.

After traveling all the way, Chen Jun finally arrived at the Xijing Army Border Defense Academy after a year away.

Getting off the car, he looked up at the familiar campus and the familiar gate in front of him.

Looking at the military flags fluttering in the wind on campus.

The oaths of the academy seemed to ring in my mind again.

I swear!!

I volunteer to go to remote and difficult areas;
I volunteered to go to the frontline troops for training and preparation for war;

I volunteer to go wherever the Party and the people need me.

Person taking the oath: Chen Jun.

The voice was rumbling, as if it was still ringing in my ears.

This is the charm of my alma mater.

Four years of youth, four years of growth.

Chen Jun just stopped at the door for a moment, and he could no longer hide the excitement in his heart.
