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

Chapter 459: Return to Luyuan, Border Defense Feelings
Come to Luyuan again.

Looking at the campus in front of me that is so familiar that it can’t be more familiar.

Chen Jun felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He waved his hand and told Li Wujie to park the car a little further away.

After all, I haven't been back for so long, as a former student of Lu Academy.

Chen Jun didn't want to be so ostentatious, so he drove in through Dongdaemun as soon as he arrived.

The college in front of us is called "Border College" by outsiders.

Internal students are more familiar with the name "Lu Yuan".

Dongdaemun is not much different from what Chen Jun remembers.

If there is any change, it is that the original wooden bars at the gate have been eliminated and replaced with electric doors.

There is no change in the sentry posts on both sides of the gate, except for comrades on duty.

However, the familiar faces from those days are no longer to be found.

Maybe it’s because of the celebration.

There were many more men and women in ordinary clothes around the college. Some were taking pictures at the door, and some were negotiating with the sentries at the door.

They were chattering away quite lively.

Chen Jun stood there and watched for a while. When Li Wujie parked the car and ran over, he stretched out his hand and said, "Yaoyao, let's go and take a look first, and by the way, visit Vice Dean Wang who took good care of me in the past."

"Good~"

Li Haiyao tapped her chin lightly, then looked around the academy in front of her curiously.

She had been to Xijing before, but never to Luyuan.

At that time, she just followed the old team leader to the Zhongnan Mountain training base and then left.

Chen Jun and his group of three stood at the entrance of the college, looking around. They were wearing military uniforms and then walked towards the college.

The sentry on duty at the door naturally noticed it.

One of the captains, who should be the captain in charge of police duties in the Lu Academy, also noticed Chen Jun.

He stared at the three people for a while, then ran up to them quickly and made them stand at attention with a "click".

Salute and say: "Hello, Chief!!"

"Hello." Chen Jun returned the greeting.

"You don't have to call me Chief. I'm also a graduate of Lu Academy. Here's my ID."

Chen Jun took out his military officer's ID from his pocket and handed it over for the other party to check.

The captain opposite took the officer's certificate and looked at Chen Jun suspiciously, then looked at Li Haiyao.

Then he glanced at his officer ID card and saluted again as if he suddenly realized something: "Hello, Chief of Staff Chen."

"Haha, welcome, welcome."

"You looked familiar to me just now. I didn't expect it was really you."

The captain greeted him warmly and took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket: "Lao Li, Lao Li, come to the East Gate quickly, Chief of Staff Chen is here."

"Old Li?"

When Chen Jun heard this name, he was slightly stunned: "Is this Old Li Captain Li Zhao?"

"Haha, isn't it him? Li Zhao has been nagging you to come over every day recently."

"He always tells us how amazing the students he trained were."

"Come on, let's go to the lounge. It's hot outside."

When the captain learned that the person in front of him was Chen Jun, he didn't even bother to check the routine procedures.

After returning the officer's ID to Chen Jun, he simply ignored Li Haiyao who was in front of him, and there was no need to check the ID of Li Wujie who was following behind him.

He enthusiastically led people into the college through the side gate.

The layout inside the college is not much different from before and it is still very clean. Maybe it's because the weather is too hot now, there are quite a lot of people standing at the door.

I didn't see many people in the academy.

The trainees on the police side are no longer from Chen Jun’s class, they are all new faces.

There's nothing to say hello to.

Chen Jun followed the captain and sat in the lounge for about five or six minutes. Suddenly, a "squeaking" sound of brakes was heard outside the door.

An officer, who was also a captain, got out of the car with a happy look on his face, and then walked straight to the lounge.

This person is not just anyone else.

When Chen Jun first arrived at the academy for new training, he was assigned to a division, and the division captain was Li Zhao.

After Chen Jun's orientation training ended, Li Zhao was responsible for their training and physical fitness assessment until their junior year.

It can be said that Li Zhao taught Chen Junlu for three of his four years at the university.

Although because of the student union, Chen Jun hardly followed the people in the dormitory to accept the daily training arrangements.

However, you still have to participate in the monthly physical fitness and various military assessments.

For border guards, physical fitness is really the first priority.

The person responsible for supervision and recording is Li Zhao.

As the saying goes, teachers and instructors always remember the best or worst performing students.

Chen Jun is undoubtedly the former.

The Xijing Army Border Defense College supplies a steady stream of talent to border defense units every year. The number of students Li Zhao has taught in the past few years is definitely fifteen hundred, if not two thousand.

But he had a very deep impression of Chen Jun.

"Chen Jun?!!"

"Hahaha, is it really you who is here?"

Before Li Zhaoren entered the lounge, the hearty laughter had already come in.

When Chen Jun heard the noise, he quickly stood up, put on his military uniform, and raised his hand to straighten his military cap.

Walk to the door of the lounge.

Looking at the captain whom I haven't seen for more than a year, he is still the same as before, with a dark face that almost reflects the sun.

But the smile on his face was so strong that it almost couldn't be dissolved.

When facing his former leader, Chen Jun would not act like the so-called chief of staff.

He saluted and said, "Hello, Captain!!"

"Hahaha, good, good!!!"

Li Zhao reached out and pulled down Chen Jun's right hand as he saluted, and then he placed his own hands on Chen Jun's shoulders and looked him up and down.

His eyes were bright and he looked extremely happy.

"Okay, okay."

"It seems like you haven't suffered much in the past year since you graduated. You've grown a lot taller than when you were a freshman."

“People are more energetic.”

"I'm glad you're here. Is this your wife?"

Li Zhao said this and looked at Li Haiyao.

"Hello, captain."

As the saying goes, the husband sings and the wife follows, Chen Jun, a lieutenant colonel, took the initiative to salute the captain in front of him.

As a captain, Li Haiyao naturally had nothing to be embarrassed about. Their relationship did not involve any mixture of superiors and subordinates.

"Okay, okay, you're so polite. Come on, I'll arrange a place for you to stay."

Li Zhao is like a parent, protecting his child. Ever since he met Chen Jun, the smile on his face has never faded.

However, in his eyes, Chen Jun was really just like a child.

When Chen Jun first reported for duty, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and Li Zhao had already graduated from the college for several years.

"Old Song, I'm going to find a place for Chen Jun to live. I'm leaving now. You son of a bitch, you still don't believe that Chen Jun will come."

"How's it going? Let's see? Are they here?"

While Li Zhao was proudly greeting the captain he had just met, he warmly invited Chen Jun and Li Haiyao and took them out of the lounge.

Even the luggage in Li Wujie's hand was taken over by Li Zhao.

Back to my alma mater again.

Although students from the same class have already gone to their respective posts, the current students are all strangers.

But as long as there was one person he knew, Chen Jun still felt like he was back home.

The car Li Zhao drove was the college patrol car. It didn't feel crowded with four people, and it was a good opportunity to see the changes in the college. A familiar astronomical point, with many old tanks that were eliminated due to military reforms placed on the lawn.

The monument to the heroes defending the country and guarding the border in the new era has been wiped very clean and is surrounded by a fence with many flowers placed around it.

In short, the college as a whole is cleaner than before.

"Captain."

Chen Jun paid attention to the layout around the college. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't our college going to change its name? It's going to merge with other campuses. How come there's no notification for such a big thing?"

"Hey, this is what Principal Feng meant."

Li Zhao heard this and grinned: "Our college trains soldiers to guard the border for the country. Now they are all guarding the security of the border in their respective positions."

"If the academy issues an official notice, they can't really ask all the students to come back, right?"

"So Principal Feng decided not to inform anyone, including you."

"You should at least say it." Chen Jun nodded in understanding.

It's understandable, but it's inappropriate not to notify.

If the comrades who guard the motherland's borders knew that the college was going to change its name, they would hold a ceremony.

There will definitely be many people who can't sit still.

But even if I can't come back.

You can also look towards the college from a far distance and find some comfort in your heart.

News about their alma mater always touches the hearts of thousands of soldiers who are away from home, and they should not hide it even if they cannot go to the scene.

Perhaps guessing what Chen Jun was thinking, Li Zhao smiled and explained: "Don't get me wrong."

"Principal Feng didn't plan to inform you, but in the past few days, the principal arranged for people to produce promotional pictures one after another."

"It has a bird's-eye view of the headquarters, as well as the address and building layout of the branch campus. We also plan to print pictures of the military parade during the event celebration."

"When the time comes, the college will mail a copy to each of your units."

"Principal Feng means that no one should be left behind."

"Don't worry about that."

When Chen Jun heard this, he suddenly understood.

He's really not being pretentious.

If you have never experienced border defense, especially the kind of place Wang Heng was first assigned to.

You won’t realize how difficult border defense is.

I have never experienced an area of ​​hundreds of miles covered in gray. Apart from the strong wind that lasted for half a year, the rest was only yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun.

You won’t realize how bad the environment on the border is.

I have never experienced this. Every day when I look up, I can only see a vast expanse of white snow-capped mountains, and there is no trace of human beings all year round.

You will never know how hard it is for our comrades every day.

For the security of the motherland's borders, to fulfill the oath I made in the college, and for my own beliefs.

They have always been guarding where the motherland needs them most.

Because of the Eaglet Training Program, Chen Jun was not assigned to the border defense, but he knew what many comrades there were most looking forward to.

It could be a colorful flower, a warm letter from home, or an opportunity to go down the mountain to do some shopping.

This is something that can be accessed at any time in other places.

But it can fill the hearts of comrades far away on the border with hope.

Going to the border to be stationed really requires passion.

You need to consider realistic issues and be fully prepared mentally.

Because, when you face the vast mountains and border, you only have your comrades-in-arms, but no relatives or lovers around you.

When you are not feeling well and can only ask the military doctor to prescribe some medicine, the nearest hospital may be hundreds or thousands of kilometers away. You cannot go home during the holidays and have to patrol in waist-deep snow.

This requires a firm will and a soldier's spirit.

Of course, when you stand in front of the boundary marker and write the name of the motherland with your own hands, when you see the innocent smiles of the herdsmen, when you stand on the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

When you find your standing point on the map.

This moment is undoubtedly a proud one.

Therefore, Chen Jun called the Xijing Army Border Defense Academy "Young men who shake their clothes can become sails for a thousand miles."

It's not an exaggeration.

Border guards deserve this title.

It can be imagined that the alma mater is getting better and better after the merger and name change. The brothers far away in the frontier must be happy to receive this news.

This is also the reason why Chen Jun felt that it was inappropriate for the college not to notify him.

Li Zhao naturally knew what Chen Jun was thinking.

In fact, he felt quite comfortable about it. This kid was like a rocket after graduation.

He made great achievements in the army and was promoted at such a speed that Li Zhao felt dazzled.

When he learned that Chen Jun was the battalion commander, he was happy for quite a long time.

As a result, the momentum had not subsided when news came that Chen Jun was appointed as deputy chief of staff. During the Chinese New Year, Li Zhao even set up several tables to celebrate for Chen Jun.

After all, he was a student he had trained before.

Unexpectedly, before he could recover from the news from the deputy chief of staff, news from the chief of staff came again.

He didn't go to Chen Jun's wedding, but that doesn't mean Li Zhao didn't pay attention.

He guessed that something happened in the college this time, and Chen Jun would definitely come back. Even if Principal Feng did not notify him, this kid would come back.

As it turned out, he guessed right.

This made Li Zhao even happier, as it meant that he had not misjudged the person, and that this boy was a man of affection and righteousness.

Talking and laughing.

Seeing Li Zhao driving straight past the logistics accommodation building, Chen Jun was a little confused: "Captain, aren't you going to arrange accommodation?"

"We just passed by the logistics building."

The logistics building in the Land College is similar to a guest room. The conditions are not bad, at least much better than those in the student dormitories.

When Chen Jun finished his training and came back to complete his graduation procedures, he stayed in the logistics building.
Unexpectedly, when Li Zhao heard Chen Jun's question, he grinned and said:

"You came all the way here, and your brother and sister-in-law came with you. Can I let you stay in the logistics department?"

"Let's go. The college has developed well in the past two years, and several new residential buildings have been built."

"It just so happens that there are enough houses available right now, so the school allocated me a three-bedroom house."

"I heard you coming over just now. I've asked your sister-in-law to go buy groceries. We're all going to have a few drinks tonight."

"I didn't go to your wedding because it happened to be Labor Day, and several colleges were holding a joint event at that time. I will make it up to you this time no matter what. But don't complain that the conditions are not good. My conditions are not comparable to those of Jinling."

Li Zhao’s warm greeting.

Chen Jun could only smile bitterly and did not refuse.

This solves the housing problem.

Li Zhao did take him to the family compound.

The house with three bedrooms and two living rooms is big enough for Li Zhao's family, Chen Jun's family, and even Li Wujie.

After all, cadres working in the academy do not have to compare their housing allocation with that of the military units. As long as there are sufficient housing sources and they stay in the academy for a long time, their allocation is generally better than that of field troops.

In fact, in other words, the welfare benefits of many units are better than those of field troops.

The main reason is that there are too many people in the front-line combat units, both the number of soldiers and the number of officers are more than other units.

There is no way to compare this.

The only difference is that they can’t buy a family compound like this when they retire or are transferred to other places.

The house will also be reclaimed.

After arranging accommodation with Captain Li.

Chen Jun did not delay. He asked Li Wujie to drive, and he took Li Haiyao straight to the undergraduate teaching building.

As the former president of the student union, he is very familiar with this college.

I was chatting with Li Zhao just now and learned that the college is going to hold a military parade this time.

Now that I'm here, I have to ask if there is any way I can contribute.
