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

Chapter 510 Witness the rise, promoted to
The higher-ups notified us to review the meeting, which is a big deal.

The directorate only said that the series of military exercises were over, but did not arrange for the various units to board military trains and return to the barracks.

Feng Qiuhu and Chen Jun could only arrange for each battalion to gather its personnel and wait for new instructions.

Afterwards, together with Political Commissar Xu Wensheng, the other two hurriedly drove to the theater army headquarters.

along the way.

Brigade Commander Feng seemed to be in a good mood. He sat in the back seat of the military vehicle, crossed his legs and smiled, staring at the busy units outside the window.

He acts like a big boss, with a rosy face.

How can I not be happy?
It only took Lao Feng five months to be promoted to brigade commander.

In this series of military exercises, the 179th Brigade won four battles and four victories.

No matter who was in command at the time.

This honor is enough to allow Lao Feng to join the ranks of veteran brigade commanders, and he no longer needs to consider himself a junior when meeting anyone.

no way.

This is the confidence that is hard-earned.

Seeing how obviously Old Feng was showing off, Political Commissar Xu Wensheng, who was sitting nearby, grinned and said, "Don't be so happy too soon."

"Our brigade has won consecutive battles in this series of military exercises, and I'm afraid we have offended many people."

"Especially Chen Jun, being famous is not necessarily a good thing, you should be more restrained."

Xu Wensheng is the political commissar. He is older and more experienced than Feng Qiuhu and Chen Jun.

I've experienced a lot in the military.

So, he sees some things more clearly.

"Yes, Commissar, I understand."

Chen Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, responded quickly.

He could guess what Political Commissar Xu meant. It was inevitable that military exercises would offend people, and it could be said to be very normal.

An entire brigade was defeated on the battlefield. Do you know what this means?

This means that the training methods for thousands of people may be wrong, which directly negates the contributions of many training cadres in the units.

It means that the hard work of many cadres has been wasted.

It also means that some of the cadres who were finally retained after the military reform had to send the soldiers they had trained away from the army because of the defeat.

If you take all these things into account, it would be a miracle if you don’t have any emotions.

But humans are not saints.

Because the 179th Brigade won four battles in a row on the battlefield. Not to mention anything else, just this year's combined 92nd Brigade, 236th Brigade, 85th Brigade and 3rd Brigade have soldiers and cadres who are going to retire or transfer this year.

Adding them together, I'm afraid there are as many as a battalion.

Who will be held accountable for this?

Chen Jun understood this sentiment from the bottom of his heart, but he would never agree with it.

He remembered that when he had just joined Longya in his previous life, Longya's captain Tao Sheng had said something to their group of soldiers.

Confucian scholars rose up in swarms and brave men died, and China has been boasting of benevolence and righteousness ever since.

In the captain's mouth, the so-called benevolence and righteousness, and all the noble things, are illusions and bullshit on the battlefield.

We have always seen lions and tigers gain great reputations when they capture prey, but who has ever seen hunted antelopes and elks being pitied because they are weak?

In this world, the strong always prey on the weak, even if the weak are right.

This was a message given by Captain Tao at the time to all the new members of Longya using the words from a poem.

A truth told.

In fact, the bottom line is that as a soldier, you don't need to have a bottom line when facing the enemy on the battlefield.

Having no bottom line is the real bottom line for soldiers to protect the people and defend the country.

War is never a joke.

Political Commissar Xu didn't mean to blame Chen Jun when he said this. Chen Jun's performance on the battlefield was correct and he was just giving him a reminder.

When you go to the director's office to attend the meeting, just don't be so aggressive.

Otherwise, all units in this series of military exercises would have experienced failure and would have been punished for this to varying degrees.

Only your 179th Brigade has never experienced a failure.

Could you please lower your attitude a bit?
Because the battle in District 26 ended the latest.

When the three of them arrived at the Army Headquarters, quite a few cadres had already gathered there.

Chen Jun met Liu Xiang, Guo Xiangnan, Ji Tong and others.

It’s just that the meeting notice started too urgently, and Chen Jun didn’t find a chance to go over and chat.

He was organized and taken to the operations meeting room by the staff of the directorate.

This was not the first time that Chen Jun had come to the conference room in Fuzhou, and the interior was still arranged in an auditorium-style layout.

The design style is very simple. In addition to an "August 1st Army Flag" erected every ten meters on the walls on both sides, there is also a military emblem embedded in front of the conference room.

There are basically no other decorations.

Chen Jun came to the meeting room. The seats in the corner were all taken by Lao Liu who had arrived earlier. He could only follow Feng Lu and sit near the corridor.

Sit down wherever you want.

The post-war review meeting was not a happy occasion. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was not as relaxed as the pre-war meeting.

Every cadre attending the meeting had a tense expression, sitting upright with their arms placed on the conference table in front of them, ready to accept criticism from their superiors.

"stand up!!"

I sat down for about three minutes.

At the door of the conference room, a staff officer with wheat ears on his shoulder straps was giving orders loudly.

Brush brush! ! !
All members of the military staff group, including Chen Jun, meeting participants, and theater training representatives stood up in unison.

Each soldier stood upright, like a javelin sticking into the ground.

Afterwards, Eastern Theater Command Commander-in-Chief Shen Hongwei, Political Commissar Chai Yansong, Chief of Staff Xu Hesheng, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yi Zhengming walked to the row of speaking seats at the front of the conference room with grim faces and sat down.

The staff officer who had just shouted to stand up quickly walked to the first position, stood at attention, and raised his hand to salute.

"Report to the commander-in-chief!"

"The Sword 2017 series of military exercises, post-war summary meeting, theater training representatives, military modeling staff, and participating officers, 302 people are expected to attend, and 302 people are actually present. Please give your instructions." "Begin the meeting."

Shen Hongwei gave orders with a cold face.

"Yes!!"

The chief of staff who received the order half turned around and said: "Sit down!!"

Brush brush! ! !
The officers who came to attend the meeting moved in unison and efficiently.

There was a sense of masculine power permeating the entire conference room.

At this moment, the entire venue was silent.

It was still the same Chief of Staff Yi Mai Yi who walked onto the stage. He seemed to be the main speaker of the conference.

But what is strange is that after he went on stage, he did not start the routine of reading out the data of the military exercise.

Instead, he waved to his comrades on one side of the stage, and soon a captain strode to the podium holding a tray.

Because the distance was too far, Chen Jun couldn't see clearly what was on the tray.

The leader in charge of the speech saw the person he had called come up to the stage, so he picked up the microphone and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, before reading the data."

"I want to announce something important first."

"The decision was made by the Joint Staff of the Military Department in consideration of the heroic bravery and courage shown by Comrade Chen Jun in the unit, his spirit of overcoming difficulties and obstacles, his style of unity and cooperation, and his outstanding achievements in completing various tasks."

"Comrade Chen Jun has been highly praised by his superiors and has been promoted to the rank of colonel. He has also been appointed as the chief of staff of the 179th Combined Brigade of the st Group Army of the Eastern Theater Command."

"I hope that Comrade Chen Jun will continue to play a backbone role in the future work, guide and lead his subordinates to actively engage in work and ensure the completion of the task."

"We must conscientiously perform the rights and obligations stipulated by the new military rank and continuously improve our professional level and ability to perform our duties."

"Chen Jun!!"

After the chief of staff talked for a long time, he turned his gaze to where Chen Jun was.

"arrive!!"

He was responded by a powerful and loud voice.

Even Chen Jun himself did not expect that his appointment was announced before anything was done at this review meeting.

In fact, not to mention Chen Jun, he didn't expect it.

Many people present in the conference room did not expect this result, given Chen Jun's current reputation in the military.

Who doesn't know him?
Not to mention people far away, at least among the senior and mid-level officers in the Eastern Theater Command, there are very few who don’t know who Chen Jun is.

A pioneer in military reform, he led the 1st Combined Battalion and was promoted rapidly from deputy battalion commander to deputy regiment commander just over a year after graduation.

This speed, let alone the East, I'm afraid other war zones have never seen such an exaggerated type.

Even privately, many leaders of the unit have speculated that although Chen Jun has a strong momentum for promotion, it will take at least three or four years for him to be promoted to a full colonel.

After all, there are colonel-generals in the army who are in their twenties, but the youngest one has to be 26 to be promoted to colonel-general.

This is because he doesn't want to fall behind others and wants to break this record.

However, in addition to some cadres' unfounded speculations, some cadres at the scene also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Because there have been rumors in the theater that a second round of military reform will be carried out, and the focus of the military reform will be on the synthetic units of each military region.

In the past, many people just listened to these rumors and ignored them.

After all, in an army of so many people, there would surely be some strange rumors.

But now, at the theater review conference, in front of so many combined operations officers, as well as members of the theater training department and the theater staff, a promotion conference was held for a cadre.

Combined with the recent rumors, there is also Chen Jun’s battle in District 26.

It is not difficult to guess that the second round of military reform is coming.

And it is very likely that the 179th Brigade will be used as a pilot to start a new round of reforms.

This is the person chosen above.

Watching Chen Jun walk up to the stage with firm steps, and watching the leader personally take off the lieutenant colonel rank on his shoulder and replace it with the rank of colonel.

Ji Tong was sitting in the audience and witnessed it with his own eyes.

What the hell.

Ji Tong's teeth ached at this, he knew very well that Chen Jun's promotion to 236 and the extra star on his shoulder were definitely due to the great contribution of their th Brigade.

Thinking of this, his balls began to ache.

At this time, Chen Jun was also overwhelmed by this huge surprise.

He looked at the military rank on his shoulder, which was promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel, even though he was usually calm.

At this moment, I couldn't help but breathe faster.

Although he is in the 179th Brigade, he has been working as the Chief of Staff in recent months and his title is also Chief of Staff.

But fake is fake.

That was just a temporary appointment recognized by the military region, at most acting chief of staff.

In fact, in the records of the war zone and the military, he has always been the deputy chief of staff, and the position of chief of staff of the 179th Brigade is vacant.

Now, I have finally become a regular employee.

The leader who was awarding Chen Jun the rank of general pinned it on him, then helped Chen Jun straighten his collar, and then smiled as he placed the appointment letter and colonel rank letter on the tray.

And handed them to Chen Jun.

"Chen Jun, personal promotion is not just a praise and encouragement for you personally."

"It is also a collective honor for your unit. I hope you can continue to work hard in your future work."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Chen Jun stood at attention and raised his hand to salute solemnly! !
Then, turned around.

He also stood at attention and saluted the audience, turning his body slightly.

Bang bang bang.
There were bursts of warm applause in the conference hall.

No matter what happened during the battle, at least at this moment.

The rise of a young officer.

They witnessed it.
