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

Chapter 462 The ceremony begins, and it is a pride to be a soldier

In the morning, I saw the military parade teams of Lu Academy and several other colleges in Xijing.

In the afternoon, the staff from the other two campuses that were merged by Lu Academy finally gathered at the Zhongnan Mountain base.

This newly rebuilt base has also ushered in its busiest moment.

With all parties gathered together and the military parade approaching, competition is inevitable.

On the training ground.

Thousands of people gathered, the heat was overwhelming, and even the vision was distorted by the sunlight.

But it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the cadets participating in the parade.

The loud and powerful sounds of “march in step” echoed repeatedly in the base.

The trainees in training ignored the scorching summer temperature and the sweat running down their cheeks.

The teams from each college followed the orders and marched, their leather boots hitting the ground with a "clang" sound.

That guy felt his feet go numb when he heard it, even Chen Jun who was passing by.

Previously, Chen Jun felt that if these cadet formations were to follow the military parade specifications, they would probably not be able to perform.

But after he observed the overall situation.

I think it’s okay.

At least it is much better than previously speculated.

Because each college has indeed put in a lot of hard work.

During his inspection, Chen Jun noticed that the instructors at the academy rarely paid attention to whether the formations were neat when training the formations.

Most instructors close their eyes and judge the performance of the queue based on the sound.

Once they find that the footsteps are disorderly, these instructors will immediately open their eyes, stare at the direction of the mistake, try again and again, and correct it again and again.

Anyway, it looks quite professional.

The selected students all had a murderous aura, and every step they took seemed to use up all their strength.

This kind of serious and focused practice added a bit of murderous aura to the entire training ground.

It's so exciting that one can't wait to join in.

Chen Jun put his hands behind his back, walked around the training ground, and nodded slightly.

He also felt that he had really underestimated the academy's importance of this military parade.

But it is also possible that, as Vice President Wang said this morning, we had already received the notice of the college reform in August last year.

I'm afraid that this military parade has entered the preparation stage very early.

I won’t talk about the Army Academy, it’s for training border guards.

The most important thing is physical training, and many of the original instructors in the academy have good abilities.

They didn't hire any outside help here, they basically taught and practiced by themselves.

But at the Armed Police Engineering University, those instructors were obviously foreign aid transferred from the Guard of Honor Squadron of the Xijing Armed Police Detachment.

As for the Rocket Force, it's basically the same. It looks like the military uniforms should be transferred from the troops.

However, there is no special honor guard within the Rocket Force, so Chen Jun is not sure what the instructors do specifically.

He was just patrolling around the training ground to see what was going on.

All in all, very good overall.

This was Chen Jun's first experience as deputy chief of a military parade, and he felt pretty good about himself.

Wearing the armband of "Deputy Captain General", he inspected the training ground.

It made him feel like a teacher.

Although the total number of people in the 179th Combined Brigade is not much different from the number of people on the training ground.

But who would have nothing better to do than gather the entire brigade together to practice marching?

It still feels different.

Chen Jun was standing with his hands on his hips, and Li Wujie was following behind him, inspecting in the same way.

An open jeep creaked and stopped beside them.

An instructor from the Xijing Army Border Defense College quickly jumped off the car and walked up to Chen Jun in two steps.

He stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted: "Report to the deputy commander, the time is almost up."

"Ah."

Chen Jun looked down at the time. It was already 13: in the afternoon of the th. He nodded: "I see. Let's go to the cafeteria first."

"Yes!!"

After briefly explaining a few words, Chen Jun ignored Li Wujie and got into the convertible and drove straight to the cafeteria.

As the deputy commander, he not only has to coordinate the affairs of the parade teams, but also has to take into account the accommodation and diet of the trainees participating in the parade.

What can I say about this thing?

We can't compare it with a national-level military parade. There's no need to arrange for all soldiers to take two laxative pills every day three days in advance and wear adult diapers on the day of the parade.

There is no need to prepare the night before, and you can't eat on the day of the parade.

However, you still need to pay attention to food safety and accommodation comfort.

After all, military parades, regardless of size, all reflect the spirit of the People's Liberation Army.

We cannot be careless because of the size of the business.

The purpose of the college holding this event is definitely not just to go through the motions.

The time that the instructor from the Lu Academy just reminded me of is almost up, which means it’s time for all the teams to assemble.

As the deputy commander, Principal Feng specifically told him that he must go on stage to give a speech, and not only must the speech be powerful, but every word must also be powerful.

Anyway, every word is powerful, according to Chen Jun's own understanding.

The principal needs a young man like him, who can show the bloodiness and spirit that a young officer should have.

After all, among the students who came this time, there are many who graduated in 2017 but have not been assigned a job.

Because of the military reform, the units are constantly changing, and the assignment of graduates this year has been delayed. Some people have not yet been assigned to the troops.

As the famous Chief of Staff Chen in the army, he would have to come up with a few decent lines when he goes on stage.

It's somewhat unjustifiable.

Sitting in the back seat of the convertible, Chen Jun took off his hat and scratched his head. The light made him come up with a few eloquent speeches.

The principal didn't give him a speech, which was a bit awkward.

You need to think about it carefully.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Chen Jun walked around the self-service area and found no cold dishes or fruits that could not be peeled, such as apples.

Just ignore it.

In fact, this kind of work is prepared in advance and there are reminders, but it’s a big event.

Routine inspections, including for people from ethnic minorities coming from the other two campuses, require setting up separate food selection areas.

Chen Jun still needs to conduct more inspections to avoid unnecessary mistakes in trivial matters.

Since he is sitting in the position of deputy commander, he must shoulder the responsibilities of that position.

There is nothing wrong with the food combination.

Chen Jun walked to the flag-raising platform on the training ground and waited for the final mobilization meeting before the military parade.

The retired old leaders of the college will not come. They will mainly encourage the students. The college leaders will just speak on the stage as representatives.

The host was Wang Zhanting, the vice president of the undergraduate school of Lu Academy, and the main speaker was this cheap deputy commander.

Chen Jun had just walked to the flag-raising platform and couldn't even keep his steps steady.

The soldier on duty blew the whistle in his hand.

"Beep-beep-beep."

In an instant, bursts of loud and shrill whistles echoed throughout the training ground.

"gather!!"

Tap tap tap.
Hearing the whistle, the instructor who was supervising the training in the distance shouted a reminder, and one square after another quickly formed a line. The square changed into four columns, and they all ran towards the raising platform.

There were thousands of people in the team, but there was no panic, and no one was shouting to form a team.

In just less than five minutes, the empty concrete ground in front of the flag-raising platform was filled with assembled soldiers.

At this time, Wang Zhanting, the vice president of the Lu Academy, held a microphone in his hand and walked to the stage with Chen Jun, one after the other, from the right side of the flag-raising platform.

Wang Zhanting swept his eyes across the thousands of dark faces in the audience, each of them looking straight ahead with a firm gaze.

An indescribable atmosphere of solemnity and murderousness surged throughout the entire training ground.

It's really heart-stirring.

Wang Zhanting nodded slightly, then picked up the microphone in his hand and said loudly: "Comrades, I am fortunate to see so many outstanding students gathered here today."

"Tomorrow is the day when our military parade begins."

"At first, when our academy organized the military parade, many comrades did not understand and said that our academy's responsibility was to educate and train future commanders and fighters, not to participate in the military parade."

"Some comrades also pointed out that the conditions for participating in the military parade are very strict. To achieve the effect of the military parade, participants must have a firm political stance, pure thoughts and morals, love the motherland, and have good physical fitness."

"Although our military academy will participate in military training and exercises, these activities are mainly to improve the quality of teaching and the actual combat capabilities of students, not for display in the military parade."

"Comrades, do you agree with this statement?"

“I don’t agree!!”

The dark faces, eyes wide open, answered with powerful and resounding voices.

Chen Jun was so shocked that he just stood there and did nothing, but he could feel his head going dizzy.

Look at the situation, they have been training for several months, they definitely won’t agree.

"it is good!!"

"Very good. Tomorrow, July 2017, 7, is the day when our Xijing Army Border and Coastal Defense College is officially established. It is time for all the comrades present to give it their all."

"Comrades, you are students and future commanders and fighters."

"All you have to do is to be vigilant at all times, maintain combat readiness, work hard to strengthen the military and political training of all arms of the military, and strictly abide by various regulations and systems."

"In the future, when you leave the academy and join the army, you must set an example by taking good care of your weapons and property, strengthening unity inside and outside the army, and carrying forward the glorious tradition of revolutionary heroism."

"I hope that comrades will faithfully perform the lofty duties entrusted to us by the Constitution in our respective posts in the future."

"Finally, on behalf of the academy, I would like to make some pre-war requests to everyone."

"Tomorrow, no one, no matter how high or low their position, is allowed to slack off. Everyone must go all out and persevere to the end."

"Tell me loudly, can you do it?"

“Yes! Yes! Yes!!”

The roars echoed throughout the entire training base.

Chen Jun stood at the front of the flag-raising platform and could feel the roars of the people below the stage, which were almost materializing.

After the vice president finished speaking, the atmosphere of the students on site was brought to a climax.

It's Chen Jun's turn.

He took the microphone, and then glanced at Principal Feng who was standing in the distance looking at this place, and a group of old leaders in casual clothes.

Looking at the faces in the audience turning towards him, to be honest, even Chen Jun, who has experienced many big scenes,

At this moment, I felt a little nervous.

This panic was not due to fear, but because Principal Feng strongly supported him to be the deputy commander-in-chief. He not only introduced him to the senior graduates of the academy, but also stood here to speak to thousands of students.

The pressure involved is self-evident.

These people in the audience will all become officers and soldiers of the army, armed police, and rocket force in the future.

Chen Jun did not pay any price for this honor. He just came to the college and now he can stand here.

He deserves it.

"Comrades, please introduce yourselves first."

Chen Jun calmed down, then picked up the microphone and put it to his mouth, his voice high and low yet a bit humble.

"My name is Chen Jun. I graduated from Xijing Army Border Defense College in June 2016. I am honored to be here today and meet you all."

"I remember when I first entered the school in 2012, I was still a young man who had just put on a military uniform. I was full of expectations for the upcoming military career, but I also felt confused."

"I remember very clearly that what really gave me faith and made me determined for the future was a statement made by my then district captain, Comrade Li Zhao."

It’s not a big deal that Chen Jun on the stage mentioned Li Zhao.

But a captain at the front of a queue suddenly straightened his chest, as if he was afraid that no one would notice him.

Chen Jun didn't notice Li Zhao's position and just continued talking.

"The captain of the district said at the time that there are many colors in our lives, and everyone should be colorful, but as soldiers, we are most fortunate and proud that we have this touch of pine green on our uniforms."

"Military uniforms are the souls of our soldiers, the spiritual sustenance of the people, and the greatest shield for national defense to show to the outside world."

"We should be proud to be a soldier."

"I have kept this sentence in mind for six years, and I still remember it now."

"These six years have given me a deeper understanding of military personnel."

"Comrades, what is a military parade?"

"The military parade is a time to showcase the spirit and demeanor of our soldiers."

"The soldiers are the ones leaping and dancing on the parade ground, and the soldiers are the ones standing ready at the border and coastal defense."

"We are soldiers, but we are more importantly the people's soldiers. Only with unity between the army and the people can we build an iron wall, and only with unity can we lay a net against the enemy."

"Comrades, as a soldier, as a commander and fighter, are you ready to go on stage for review?"

"We obey the call of our motherland and are always ready!!"

"We obey the call of our motherland and are always ready!!"

"Kill, kill, kill!!"

The responses, one louder than the other, were also the best responses from the students in the audience to the soldiers mentioned by Chen Jun.

The roars rose straight into the sky.
. . . . . . .

The military parade will begin at five in the morning on the 14th.

The Zhongnanshan Base once again ushered in its busiest moment.

Shortly after dawn that day, the entrance to the base was already surrounded by a crowd of people. Some were local media from Xijing who had rushed there after hearing the news, and some were residents of Xijing who had come because of its reputation.

Many places in the originally huge training base were surrounded by cordons.

We have to surround it.

Many activities at the military academy are open to the public. If the scene is not regulated, some people will probably rush to the parade training ground with their mobile phones to take close-up photos.

As time slowly passed, one team after another took position around the oval training ground covering an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters.

On the flag-raising platform, school leaders who came to participate in the military parade and retired senior leaders also took their seats one after another.

With a crisp "clang" sound, the sharp sword was unsheathed and cut through the sky.

The national flag began to rise slowly on the training ground.

As the majestic national anthem sounded, all the soldiers in the formation, school leaders, and the people gathered in the distance all looked at the rising national flag.

Six o'clock sharp.

Three open jeeps slowly slid into the training ground from the other side of the base.

Standing in the front vehicle was Feng Hongyi, president of the Army College of Border and Coastal Defense. He was wearing a military uniform, standing upright in the car, his eyes fixed on the queue ahead.

In the second car was Chen Jun, who was also wearing a military uniform.

This moment is the focus of everyone's attention.

At this moment, Chen Jun's body stood up like a javelin and he slowly entered the venue.

In the third car were several school leaders who were part of the viewing group.

Their entry also means the ceremony has begun.
