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

Chapter 522: Joint military exercise, how can this be called gold plating?
When Chen Jun and his men rushed over from the brigade, the atmosphere in the military district was different from usual.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Guards with real guns and live ammunition can be seen everywhere.

After getting off the car.

Feng Qiuhu, Xu Wensheng, Chen Jun, and Li Haiyao quickly adjusted their military uniforms and did not bother to guess the old man's purpose of coming.

Several people hurried to the office building and came to the meeting room under the guidance of the guards.

"Hello, Chief!!"

Normally, there are a few people who are considered half-bosses in the military area, but now they are like new recruits, strictly following the standard formation posture, standing at attention and raising their hands to salute!
In the conference room, Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhongyi, Peng Qinglin and others also stood straight and stared intently.

Even Li Haiyao would not relax in such a formal occasion, and the entire conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Li Zhenhua looked up at the people who were coming over, and pointed to an empty seat nearby: "Don't be so nervous, take a seat."

Then, the old man turned his gaze to Chen Jun again.

This kid hasn't changed at all.

He is still as thin as a bamboo pole, with charcoal-like skin and bright eyes.

His image is just not very good. He must have just come from the training ground. There is dust everywhere on his hat and clothes. He looks exhausted.

What kind of person is this old man?

Of course he could see through this little trick, but he still felt quite happy about it.

Regardless of whether Chen Jun came here because he was really anxious or deliberately didn't change his clothes, it at least shows that this kid has grown up and knows how to make use of some details of himself.

Li Zhenhua smiled lovingly at Li Haiyao, and then looked at Chen Jun beside her again.

"Chen Jun."

"arrive!!"

Chen Jun's butt had just touched the chair when he heard someone calling him and stood up immediately.

"Well, I heard from your Commander Wang that the training of the 179th Brigade is going smoothly?"

"Yes, Commander, the heavy equipment training is almost finished and can be inspected at any time."

"Huh, you're not modest at all." Li Zhenhua made an ambiguous comment.

Then he leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "We really need to test it. There is an opportunity right now."

"This year our army will hold a general mobilization meeting and will also arrange for a troop to go to the Laochebarku training base to conduct a joint military exercise."

"I will not elaborate on the purpose of this joint military exercise. In short, I will arrange for your 179th Brigade to represent our country in the exercise."

"There will be troops from more than one country participating in the exercise, and there will be a military parade mode and military confrontation sessions."

"Your mission is to defeat all participating troops and enhance our country's prestige. Do you have confidence?"

The old man's words.

Chen Jun, who had just stood up, swallowed hard. The heavy armored brigade represented the country in the military exercise.

This is the signal to start reinstalling.

As for whether he has confidence, there is no need to ask that question at all. Not to mention letting him lead a heavy armored brigade, even if he were to go alone, it would definitely not bring shame to the country.

"Please rest assured, Commander, I will ensure that the mission is completed."

Chen Jun spoke eloquently.

Wang Zhongyi, who was standing by, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He now understood that this was the way to borrow a person.
If so, it would be okay to borrow him to go and see the scene as well. This is a joint military exercise of multiple countries, and all units in major military commands are paying attention to it.

Who doesn’t want to go?

Wang Zhongyi’s current definition of the heavy armored brigade is not so clear, nor as intuitive as Chen Jun’s.

But he still has full confidence in the 179th Brigade.

Chen Jun's guarantee made the old man quite satisfied.

He swept his eyes across the faces of every cadre present, and then he spoke again: "It's good to have confidence."

"This joint military exercise is co-directed by the Western Staff Headquarters. We will also dispatch an armed police force to Chebarku in the near future to build sufficient logistics warehouses for the military exercise for you."

"The 179th Brigade has been provided with personnel and equipment as needed, and all have been in place in the past two days."

"In addition, the military meeting decided that during this period of full military mobilization, the reconstruction work of the first batch of heavy armored units will be opened."

"Your 236st Army is tentatively designated as the th Brigade, and the equipment will arrive later."

"But this has nothing to do with you. The joint military exercise is scheduled for April, and there is still a month left."

"As commanders, you must go to the base half a month in advance. The troops will have someone responsible for transportation and mobilization later."

"Chen Jun."

As Li Zhenhua spoke, he once again fixed his gaze on the young man in front of him.

"In this battle, we can only win, not lose!!"

"If you win, you'll have a chance to contribute to the re-equipment pilot program later. If you lose, you'll just stay in the 179th Brigade."

"Understand?"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!!"

Chen Jun responded with a serious expression.

The 179th Brigade was led by him personally and he was absolutely confident, but victory is won through fighting, not talking.

So, at this moment, no further words are needed.

"Well, here are all the details of the joint military exercise codenamed 'Peace Mission'. You can take a look when you go down."

Li Zhenhua waved his hand and arranged for someone to put several leather file bags on the desk.

Then, without saying hello to anyone, he stood up and left the meeting room.

Everyone present watched the old man leave, and they were stunned for a moment.

Then Wang Zhongyi and Peng Qinglin hurriedly got up and took care of the old man to go to the lounge next door to rest.

Old Feng and Xu Wensheng were not at the level to follow him, so they simply urged Chen Jun and Li Haiyao to catch up, as the old man had made the trip with great difficulty.

Always talk to the younger generation about things other than work.

Once they leave the meeting room, the two little guys are no longer subordinates, but granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

In the blink of an eye.

Most people had left the conference room. Political Commissar Xu looked down at the several file bags that Chen Jun had placed there and hesitated.

In the end, it was not opened.

In fact, there is nothing much to disassemble. The content inside is just more official. The real core has already been notified by the old man just now.

Political Commissar Xu walked to the side of the conference room, turned on the exhaust fan, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Feng Qiuhu. It was hard to tell whether his expression was happy or lonely.

He just sighed and said: "If Chen Jun can command this joint military exercise properly, it can really be said that he has coated himself with a thick layer of gold."

"We can't keep this person."

Hearing this, Lao Feng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled two puffs of smoke from his nostrils without saying anything.

What else is there to say?
The fact that the old man said the four words "enhance our national prestige" is enough to show how important this joint military exercise is.

The re-equipment pilot project only started last year, but this year we are participating in operations of this scale, and will soon start the first round of large-scale re-equipment modifications internally.

At this critical juncture, leading the team out is not just gilding the lily, it's like jumping into a pool of golden water.

While the two were smoking in silence, Wang Zhongyi and Peng Qinglin, who had just left, returned to the meeting room.

Seeing Lao Feng and the other two preparing to stand up, Wang Zhongyi waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, there are no outsiders here."

When they came back, they didn't say anything and just sat down and smoked together.

Especially Wang Zhongyi, he just thought that the old man said he wanted to borrow someone and he meant to borrow Chen Jun to participate in the joint military exercise.

I just figured it out, this is not what I meant at all.

This person was borrowed after the joint military exercise, and he still hadn't returned it. Because the old man just said that he won, and Chen Jun participated in the large-scale reorganization of the heavy equipment. This sentence is already very clear.

There was definitely no chance of participating in the 179th Brigade.

There are only two places that can participate in the entire process. The first is the Joint Staff Training Department, which can enter any unit in the five major war zones at any time to supervise the reorganization.

The other is the Theater Training Department, which is responsible for the reorganization of the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd divisions.

Wang Zhongyi actually prefers the latter.

Because with Chen Jun's qualifications, it may not be a good thing for him to take up a position in the Joint Staff Department too early. This military reform will come to an end sooner or later.

By then, the development opportunities that the Joint Staff could provide to Chen Jun would not be great, far less than the vast space available to the front line of the field troops.

And, if we really win.

The commander-in-chief of the theater will not let them go even if he slams the table. They are all old comrades, and the old man will not lose face.

The so-called position where you sit will lead to different angles on things.

Feng Qiuhu thought that Chen Jun's gilding was just to participate in this joint military exercise, but he didn't know that the military exercise was just a springboard for real gilding.

Taking advantage of the victory in the military exercise, we entered the theater training department and assisted various units in their reorganization. This is the real gilding.

More importantly, the Training and Operations Department is also responsible for all military exercises in the theater over the years.

This person can't be kept.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhongyi sighed deeply. He had been fighting wits and courage with Liu Jinwei, the commander-in-chief of the 72nd Army, and both wanted to keep Chen Jun.

I thought I could stay for more than ten years.

He had to leave, of course he had to leave, Wang Zhongyi knew that clearly.

But I didn't expect it to go so fast.

"Old Feng." Wang Zhongyi finished smoking a cigarette, put it out and said, "Your brigade is still in need of some propagandists, network system administrators and the like. Go to Old Li later and ask for as many as you need."

"As for equipment, I will contact the General Assembly. If there are any vacancies in the cadre positions, I will go to Lao Li to ask for them."

"I will call Lao Li to inform him that joint military exercises are not a trivial matter and the staffing must be completed."

"As for the rest, I'll give you whatever you want in the next month. In a word, we'll prepare for the battle with all our strength."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Feng Qiuhu nodded in agreement.

At present, the 179th Brigade is indeed understaffed, because when training the main battalion units, cadres from the air defense battalion and the combat support battalion are transferred to the combined battalion first.

Although there have been subsequent supplements, staff shortages are commonplace for all units.

Few units can really reach full staffing.

Because the 179th Brigade is a pilot unit for heavy equipment, it has maintained its staffing at around 90%. Most general units only maintain 60%-70% of their staff.

Once a war alert is issued, the army will be quickly replenished through mobilization, recall of veterans and unsealing of stockpiled weapons.

This is also why when there are signs of war, the first thing to do is to recall the veterans.

During routine military exercises and training, it doesn’t matter if the staff is not fully staffed, because the combat system is complete anyway.

But this time it's different.

If you want to go out and participate in joint military exercises, you must enter the battlefield with a full complement. No matter whether it is a pre-field parade or a joint military exercise, one more person means one more point of combat effectiveness.

No carelessness is allowed.

. . . . . . . . . .

The sudden announcement of the joint military exercise brought new challenges to the 179th Brigade, which had been peaceful for half a year.

Chen Jun came out of the old man's lounge. He took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly.

He had an impression of the 2018 Peace Military Exercise, and there was such an incident in his previous life.

It's nothing more than a fight with the Russians.

But regarding this peaceful joint military exercise, it seemed that the military district did not do much publicity at the time.

One of the reasons seems to be that the victory was too easy.

Considering that excessive publicity would cause the military regions to relax their vigilance and become complacent, they did not carry out large-scale publicity and instead focused on development.

This excuse was made up by Chen Jun after he just joined Longya, after listening to the bragging and analysis of those old soldiers. It has some truth to it, but it has no basis in fact.

At that time, he was just a non-commissioned officer and had no access to these things.

Unexpectedly, in the next life, he became the leader of the team.

Peace Exercise
Thinking of this, Chen Jun couldn't help but smile.

You know, when he was in junior high school training, that Zhuge guy from the Dragon Class only led the team to win one game.

That was a very powerful figure at that time.

But a competition is a competition after all, and it can only represent whether the level in a small part of the field is top-notch.

But peaceful military exercises are a test of the combat effectiveness of field armies, and what is being fought for is the dignity of the country and the confidence of the nation.

Therefore, this time when he went to Chebar, Chen Jun had made up his mind that he must not only win, but also win cleanly and beautifully.

Win to the point of making your opponent despair.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun's walking posture almost floated up.

at this time.

Feng Qiuhu and Xu Wensheng were already waiting in the parking lot. When this guy saw Chen Jun coming out of the office building, he held his head high and walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Political Commissar Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Chen Jun's posture really reminds me of 'Look up to the sky and laugh loudly before going out, how can we be ordinary people?' His posture has embodied this poem."

"You are young, haha."

Feng Qiuhu heard this and shook his head with joy: "If only I were fifteen years younger, no, ten years would be enough."

"I'm crazier than him."

As they talked, they both couldn't help laughing.

When Chen Jun came over, he glanced at the two of them curiously: "Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, what are you so happy about?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered something happy."

Xu Wensheng shook his head slightly, then glanced behind Chen Jun: "Where's Haiyao? Isn't she going back?"

"Well, she will stay here with the old man for a while and go back in the afternoon."

"I was kicked out by the old man."

Although Chen Jun said that he was kicked out, the smile on his face did not diminish. The grandfather and grandson were reunited.

He didn't want to stand there like a bamboo pole.

Let's chat, but there's nothing to talk about. If we don't chat, it's not polite and it's really uncomfortable.

"Well, Xiao Wu, I'll go back with the brigade commander and the political commissar. You wait here for Director Li and bring her back to the brigade this afternoon."

"At noon, I went to the military district cafeteria to eat. After lunch, there was a lounge next to the cafeteria for the officers who came to work."

"Just arrange your own rest."

Chen Jun briefly explained Li Wujie. Ever since this kid followed Chen Jun, he has been living a very comfortable life.

All I do all day is help with driving, running errands, and making phone calls.

Because of Chen Jun's prestige in the brigade, his status also rose accordingly.

Now that I have been given an explanation, I must pat my chest and agree to it immediately.

And Chen Jun had no time to explain to him.

He hurriedly followed Brigade Commander Feng back to the brigade headquarters to prepare for the joint military exercise.
