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

Chapter 575: Battle Test, are you going to answer the questions or throw the keyboard?

Everyone in the military graduate class must have received the notice. The dormitory building didn’t feel crowded during lunch just now, but now it’s crowded in just a moment.

A dense crowd of people came out of the building. All of them were colonels, aged between thirty-five and forty.

These are the backbone of the East.

When Chen Jun went to gather in front of the multimedia building, he turned his head and took a look behind him.

He shook his head secretly. No wonder many people said that this graduate class was not easy.

Damn it, anyone who is not blind can see that there is something wrong with this arrangement.

How come there are so many colonels coming here to study for a master's degree?

Isn't this just like a bunch of twenty-year-old young people suddenly showing up at the kindergarten gate to sign up for school? Isn't it just as incredible?
There is no shade in front of the multimedia building, just a bare patch of land, and with the concrete floor, the sun in May, especially at noon, can be described as scorching.

Normally in the workplace, the cadres who work in the air-conditioned room and drink tea are all gathered together under the scorching sun, and many of them show impatience and anxiety on their faces.

But that's besides the point.

Chen Jun also found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. How to describe this feeling? It was very much like a state before a war. The atmosphere was extremely solemn and even filled with a sense of tragedy.

Chen Jun was not making this up. None of those who could rise to the rank of colonel were simple characters. How many colonels were there in a frontline combat unit in a war zone?
There are more than 180 people gathered here alone, and they have just been clearly notified that they need to take an entrance examination.

In this situation, you can tell just by thinking about it how important the next class is.

Even if it cannot be said that admission to the class guarantees promotion, it is probably close to it.

If we were to ask who in the army most hopes for a war, apart from the soldiers who want to make meritorious service, it would probably be the colonels or major generals.

Because at this point, it is extremely difficult for them to get promoted further. They have really reached the stage where they are either moving forward or moving backward.

The system of last-in-first-out elimination has always been cruel.

What’s even more cruel is that 90 percent of the graduating officers don’t have the opportunity to stand here and compete.

Not long after Chen Jun arrived at the building, Ji Tong strolled over as if he had smelled something.

They all came from the 71st Army. When Ji Tong saw Sun Zonghang, it was obvious that they were very familiar with each other. He nodded and called him "Old Sun", then stood beside Chen Jun, frowning and said: "I'm afraid the entrance examination this time will be troublesome."

"It's not just an elimination system, they don't even give us a chance to review."

"They even renamed the training class to something like Military Postgraduate Class. This is obviously misleading."

After hearing this, Chen Jun also fell silent.

Although my uncle gave me a subtle reminder before we set off, it didn't make much difference whether I had that reminder or not.

This is not the first time that the army has done such a thing. They can film a destroyer as a small fishing boat and an aircraft carrier as one casting a net at sea. It is not new that even soldiers can be misled.

In Chen Jun’s circle, in fact, none of the colonels have high qualifications. Ability is ability and qualifications are qualifications. Having climbed to this point, who can be weaker than who?
When they were all silent.

At the front of the assembled team, a tall colonel who looked to be in his forties smiled and broke the depressing atmosphere.

He said with a serious expression: "Comrades from all military regions, fellow elder brothers, I have just received a notice from above regarding the entrance examination. I believe everyone knows about it."

"I won't brag too much. The entrance examination may mean that a few people advance, while the majority miss opportunities. But no matter what, we shouldn't ruin the atmosphere because of an examination."

"That's too narrow-minded. We are able to gather together today and become classmates. This is fate. We should cherish it. If nothing else, this batch of 18 may really be able to become a top class in the next years."

"All the comrades present here are witnesses. At least we have competed together. Even if we can't say that we were classmates when we were young, at least it is a good memory when we think back to this exam."

After the colonel finished speaking generously, he changed the subject and continued: "Of course, I don't know what the next assessment is. Anyway, no matter what it is, I personally haven't reviewed it at all. But being able to meet so many brothers is also the greatest gain of my life."

The solemn atmosphere originally created by the entrance examination was dispersed a lot by the colonel's words.

Several familiar people gathered together and started chatting, and the atmosphere gradually improved.

Chen Jun sighed. Only when he entered this level did he know the cruelty. The big brother just now obviously knew that he might not pass the entrance examination, so he took this opportunity to make a good relationship with him.

Show your face or something.

At this point, simply working hard is no longer of much use.

Hearing a sigh from the side, Ji Tong grinned, then lowered his voice and said: "Chen boy, you should also learn to adapt to this kind of occasion."

"There are quite a few people here who know you, and many of them have studied with you before, so you owe them some favors."

"Go ahead. We don't know what the next test will be. Don't act like a young person. Get to know more people and chat with them. Even if you're just pretending to agree with them, it's better than standing here like a stick."

Otherwise, why is he called an old turtle? As soon as he finished talking to Chen Jun, Ji Tong immediately taught by example and started chatting with a colonel not far away with his big sausage mouth.

If that guy hadn't watched the whole process, he would have thought they were a pair of brothers.

In fact, Chen Jun also understood the truth, but after all, he didn’t live very long in his previous life, and he served in a place like Longya that only knew how to fight.

It's hard to master the social skills of conversation.

In addition, he knew many of the people present, but many of them were severely beaten by him during the exercises, which made it really difficult to deal with.

But fortunately, whether it is Chief of Staff Chen or Director Chen, these two titles are very useful.

Before long, people nearby who recognized Chen Jun came over to offer him cigarettes and chatted with him in a familiar manner, making the atmosphere even more lively.

And this moment.

At the window on the fourth floor of the Multimedia Building, Chen Baihua, the president of Hongdu Army Infantry Academy, and Zhang Shaoyang, the political commissar, were looking at the dark crowd below.

"Why, Old Chen, why haven't you given the order to notify the assessment yet?" Political Commissar Zhang turned his head and glanced at his old partner.

The two of them have been standing here for more than ten minutes.

"Hey, this entrance examination is really giving me a hard time."

Chen Baihua shook his head. He stood there hesitantly because he didn't know how to state the rule of eliminating 70% of the people.

Secondly, I also want these comrades from the army to get to know each other and have a chat.

The reason why Political Commissar Zhang urged was not that Zhang Shaoyang didn't want to see this harmonious scene.

Because this harmony is only superficial.

There is a saying that goes, these people who start from the grassroots and lead troops until they are in their thirties or forties, play tactics, study tactics, and each one is more ruthless and ruthless than the other.

They seemed to be chatting harmoniously, like a reunion of brothers.

In fact, if you get closer, it's not difficult to hear that the topic is nothing more than who is capable and who will definitely have no problem with the entrance examination.

So-and-so performed well in which military exercise, but this kind of assessment is just a formality.

This kind of talk may sound fine at first glance, but it is actually flattery. It puts pressure on others and puts those who are taking the assessment together under fire.

It’s just like when I was in school, before every exam, many neighbors would brag to my parents about how smart I was and how I would definitely get first place. In fact, I knew my own results very well, and no matter whether the compliments were intentional or out of social circumstance, they were a sword hanging over my head.

I barely passed the exam with 60 points, and when I got home I realized how heavy a feather duster felt.

Because many parents will be misled by this kind of praise, thinking that their children are smart, and that their poor performance in the exam is the result of their carelessness and lack of effort.

Take Ji Tong for example. He just ran over to start a conversation with an excited look on his face, but now his face has turned black because of the praise he received.

I don't even want to pretend anymore.

The same thing happened to Chen Jun. He was surrounded by a group of people, praising him for his youth and potential, saying that the new generation is pushing the old generation forward, and the flattery was everywhere.

This is not just business promotion, this is about weakening the next competitor.

They are not clear about the rules of the entrance examination, but at least they know that they cannot enter the class if they fail the examination.

Just when everyone was divided into small circles at the gathering place and were having a great time chatting.

In the multimedia building, Chen Baihua and Zhang Shaoyang walked out of the lobby together.

Two people, one with a microphone and one with a mic, came over at the same time, and the people who had just been chatting immediately began to gather and line up subconsciously.

Principal Chen glanced at the dark crowd. It was already lunchtime at the academy and there were few people passing by.

He simply waved his hand and said in a shocking voice: "Okay comrades, there's no need to line up. It's hot so I'll keep it short."

"This military graduate class was established in response to the request of the Eastern Region and the Army Headquarters. Let me briefly introduce two points."

"First, the entrance examination is divided into three parts. The first part is the battle theory, the second part is the battle planning sand table simulation, and the third part is to write an opinion on the future war."

"As for the first and second items, you can join the class as long as you pass them. As for the third item, you just need to submit it before graduation. You can think of it as your graduation thesis."

"But I have to be frank. The entrance examination criteria are very strict. The notice given to me by the higher-ups is that 70 percent of the people will be eliminated."

"Let me make it clearer. In the next assessment, it is not enough to just get excellent grades. You must eliminate twice as many opponents as you can during the assessment and defeat two or three students of the same period on average to be qualified to join the class."

"That's all I can tell you."

"Next, all comrades should gather in the auditorium on the third floor of the Multimedia Building. There is a box at the door. Please put your mobile phones in it."

Chen Baihua had tried his best to make his tone sound calmer, but when the news of 70 percent elimination was announced, it was still hard for those present to accept it.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and because they were dizzy from the sun, no one moved.

Seventy percent elimination, what does that mean?
You know, according to the directorate's regulations during the exercise, an entire combat unit will be forced to withdraw only if 70% of it is destroyed.

This regulation does not mean that the directorate is inhumane, but that with only 30% left, there is really no combat effectiveness left, and it is either the logistics or other auxiliary units that are left.

It's just a class of 180 people, and more than 130 of them are going to leave?
Many of the cadres present are no longer at the age where they can rely on luck, and they are very clear about their position.

It would be fine if you could fight for it based on your own abilities and despite the difficulty of the assessment, but once the hard indicators are released, the last-in-first-out system leaves no hope for most people.

After all, no matter how well you do in the exam, there will always be someone better than you. There is no fairness in the system of selecting the best candidates for admission.

"What are you standing there for? Gather on the third floor!"

Chen Baihua shouted loudly, awakening those who were a little hesitant.

People began to line up to enter the multimedia building one after another. Some held their heads high, some hung their heads, some remained silent, and some seemed to be deep in thought.

Do you think these people have too poor psychological quality? It's just an entrance examination, why is there so much drama?
No, no.

This is not a question of whether there is a role or not, but a reality issue. The training class was jointly organized by the Eastern Department and the Army Headquarters, and the higher-ups were responsible for submitting the report. A total of more than 180 people were arranged to attend.

Being able to join the class is your ticket to success. If you return home dejected and can’t even join the class, how will the people above you view you?

Talking about achievements and abilities at this time seems a little pale, doesn't it?

If you really encounter a suitable opportunity, do you think the people listed above will be the ones being considered for admission or the ones being eliminated?
The answer is obvious.

Chen Jun was walking in line at the back and followed them in, but when he passed by Chen Baihua and Zhang Shaoyang.

Political Commissar Zhang has been staring at this young man with great interest. It’s not because Chen Jun is so dazzling, but mainly because he is too conspicuous.

There were a group of people in their thirties or forties fighting for the item, and there was only a man in his twenties among them. Even people who didn't know Chen Jun would take a few more glances at him.

What's more, Political Commissar Zhang is no stranger to him.

As if noticing that Chen Jun was looking at him, Zhang Shaoyang waved at him.

Chen Jun did not hesitate. He turned around quickly and walked up to the two people in standard marching posture.

He raised his hand and saluted: "Hello, Chief!"

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"Hehe, Chen Jun."

Zhang Shaoyang looked with interest at the young people who have become very popular in the East in recent years.

Chen Baihua just said "hmm", which was neither too enthusiastic nor too cold.

Old Chen was mainly angry. If it weren't for this guy, the combat class would have started long ago. Chief of Staff Xu's phone call made them wait for so long.

Who the hell can understand how many calls Principal Chen received from the west, south, north and central regions during this period of delay?
How many requests have you declined to send people for training?

That would offend a lot of people.

For this reason, it would be a miracle if he could still have a good face when he saw Chen Jun.

Zhang Shaoyang knew what his old partner was thinking. He grinned and ignored Principal Chen. Instead, he raised his hand and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, are you sure about the entrance examination?"

"Report to the commander, I will do my best."

Chen Jun didn't dare to say too much.

"Well, do your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"But I would like to remind you that experience accumulated over time and qualifications is often far more lethal than your passion."

"Hehe, go ahead, I hope you can stay."

"Thank you, Chief. I promise I won't let you down."

Chen Jun stood at attention again, raised his hand and slightly turned his body to salute the two of them, then turned around and walked towards the team.

Watching him enter the building, Chen Baihua said in a low voice with a gloomy look: "Old Zhang, are you so optimistic about this kid?"

“Shouldn’t we be optimistic?”

Zhang Shaoyang asked back: "Such a dynamic young man entered the Eagle Training Program before graduation. Only a few years after graduation, even his file was included in the Renaissance File."

"You haven't been in the file yet, right? If I don't think highly of him, do I think highly of you?"

"Old Chen, put away your petty attitude. Although his achievements are influenced by the Li family, many things are beyond the control of the Li family."

"I just said too many smiling words on the phone these past few days, so what's the big deal?"

Zhang Shaoyang happily satisfied his urge to talk, and then walked leisurely into the multimedia building with his hands behind his back.

Principal Chen was left alone with a confused look on his face.

Damn it, you just said too many smiling words while answering the phone, do you have the ability to answer it?

If it weren't for the fact that they have been partners for many years, Chen Baihua really wanted to punch Zhang Shaoyang on the head twice.

This is so fucking infuriating.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Because Chen Jun was stopped by Political Commissar Zhang, he was delayed for some time. In addition, his original seat was at the back, so by the time he entered the so-called third-floor auditorium, almost everyone else had found a seat.

Seeing Chen Jun coming, many people in the auditorium turned their eyes to him.

At this moment, Chen Jun had a sense of attention, as "everyone in the world knows him". He was already famous in the East before the 30% admission quota was announced.

Many people can remain calm and not pay too much attention to Chen Jun, the darkest horse in recent years.

As soon as the rules on admission to the class were announced, he almost became the target of public criticism.

There's no other reason, he's just too famous.

"Haha, hello, seniors!"

Chen Jun faced everyone's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and bowed in a very chivalrous manner.

"Hello, seniors. I wish you all can perform well. I'll sit in the back."

The gaze was like a knife piercing my body. Although it didn't hurt, the key point was that it was not strong enough.

In the auditorium of the multimedia building, there is a computer on each table. This place should be used for classes in the college. With an area of ​​several thousand square meters, the number of people they have squeezed in is not noticeable at all.

Chen Jun quickly ran to the corner of the sixth row and sat down. When Zhang Shaoyang and Chen Baihua walked in together, the staff in the auditorium closed the door and turned on all the lights.

Principal Chen walked to the podium in front of the auditorium, picked up the microphone, and said loudly: "Comrades, for the battle theory test, open the computer, open the question bank and you can answer the questions."

"The questions are simple. I believe this is not the first time you have encountered theoretical questions."

"Remember to enter your name, unit, and officer number before answering the questions."

"I don't have anything else to remind you. Comrades, let's get started."

Theoretical examinations are indeed not uncommon in the military, and Chen Baihua did not pay too much attention to it. He just gave a few brief instructions and then announced the start of the examination.

Normally in the unit, officers actually have annual assessments, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, so it is not difficult to pass.

But this time, no one dared to underestimate it.

Chen Jun also stared at his screen. Two minutes after he entered his name, unit (according to the military officer's ID card), and officer number, the computer question bank generated a test paper.

The rule of exams is to review the questions first.

In similar combat subject exams, there are no multiple-choice questions or fill-in-the-blank questions at all. Overall, it’s still the same old routine.

The test paper is divided into three parts. The first part measures the senior military officers' ability to organize, plan and implement programs.

The second part tests the officers' command qualities.

The third part is to complete the military modeling of the designated campaign.

The routines are the same, but the assessment is very comprehensive. If you don’t have some experience, it’s hard to say whether you can answer them comprehensively.

After reviewing the questions, Chen Jun focused his attention on the first part. The first question was basically just a sample and was not difficult.

If you ask about the composition of the modern battlefield, anyone who reads the news or goes online will know that modern warfare is a five-dimensional system of land, sea, air, space, and electricity.

But the difficulty of the second question soared, as the test takers were required to organize the implementation process of a beach landing.

Chen Jun is good at this stuff. In the past, the training in the senior year was to add information-based tactics to each battle, including the synthetic unit multi-terrain battle modeling, which is all old knowledge.

Chen Jun's fingers were clacking on the keyboard. In the first phase, he was doing troop deployment, environmental and hydrological reconnaissance, water depth mapping, air and sea artillery firepower plan design, vehicle application preparation, medical attachment, equipment verification, sand table simulation, and at the same time formulating battle assault, weight, support, retreat, and communication backup plans.

The second stage is pre-war mobilization, unit task allocation, implementation of sea and air bombing, locating and clearing torpedoes, assault sequence units landing and establishing positions, expanding positions, systematic artillery extension, occupying docks and ports.
Chen Jun is young, has a quick mind, a good memory, and is very good at typing on the computer.

The crackling sound was extremely harsh in the silent auditorium.

At first, no one in the auditorium paid attention. After all, the examination had to be taken seriously. The officers stared at the test questions on the screen and studied them carefully like old pedants.

Some of the more cautious ones have already started asking the staff for paper and pen. They list the general steps for each question in advance and write them down on paper to make sure their thoughts are clear before moving on to the next question.

That guy, there is no one more cautious than them.

But Chen Jun, who was sitting in the back row, was tapping the keyboard like he was dancing in an audition group. He did this for more than ten minutes straight, causing many people to turn around and look back.

When they discovered that it was this kid Chen again, many cautious officers twitched their lips.

Damn, are you here to answer the questions or smash the keyboard?

Doesn’t the battle assessment require thinking?

Or is it that this kid Chen is just too lucky, and the questions generated on the test paper are too easy?

There were more than a hundred people, and at least half of them turned their heads to look from time to time. It was not because they were affected by the sound of keyboard tapping, but because they had never seen such agile weirdos in the examination field.

You should at least think about it, it's okay to just show your appreciation.

Fortunately, Chen Jun was immersed in answering the questions and was not aware of other people's thoughts, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.

In fact, in the battle assessment, regardless of practical ability, just talking about theoretical basis, Chen Jun is really not afraid of anyone.

After all, he is a man who has experienced the future. A place like the Dragon Tooth Commando studies the weaknesses of the armies of various countries, and naturally also studies their various battles.

Including some new battle theories and topics published in military research in later generations, Longya has the privilege to study and research in advance.

Try to find the maximum war benefits for the commandos in modern warfare.

Combined with his own experience accumulated over the past few years, he can really make a clacking sound on the keyboard.

Noticing that many people in the auditorium looked back from time to time, the political commissar Zhang Shaoyang, who was in charge of supervising the exam, frowned and walked behind Chen Jun.

He originally wanted to see whether this kid was tapping the keyboard so hard just to attract attention or whether he really had real talent.

But after he stood behind Chen Jun for a while, he was also attracted by the speed of answering questions.

Standing there, thinking.

Wow, it’s not a big deal that Zhang Shaoyang just stood there, but Chen Baihua, who was sitting in the front of the auditorium, was also stunned.

What's happening here?
Is Lao Zhang so weak? He just stood there and watched for a while and couldn't move his feet?
