Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2130 Promotion Ceremony
Although Chen Tianfu once held sway in the Philippines for many years, his former status is now completely meaningless.

In the power structure of Dazhangshu, only one principle applies:
What role do you play, and what contributions have you made?

No matter how prestigious your position or title may have been, in the Great Camphor Tree Base, you are just an ordinary survivor.

During the dinner, Chen Tianfu suddenly realized something: the top management of Dazhangshu were extremely pragmatic!
After the welcome banquet, He Chao led the Chen family to register.

Without exception, they were all given the status of Level 6 personnel.

The Chen family, consisting of more than thirty people, wanted to take root in the Dazhangshu headquarters base and fully integrate themselves, after he studied the system here.

He leveraged the strengths of his family members to choose different paths based on local conditions.

Among them, the youngest daughter, Chen Manshu, was a university teacher who taught Chinese before the end of the world, so she was sent to teach at a school in the buffer city.

The eldest grandson, Chen Shangen, studied artificial intelligence before the apocalypse and started an artificial intelligence company after graduating.

It just so happens that Dazhangshu is also recruiting talent in this field, so he was asked to try to enter Dazhangshu's research institute. If he passes the interview and assessment and becomes an unstaff member of the research institute, Chen Shangen can directly become a level 5 staff member.

As for the others, most of them studied arts, business administration, or finance, which are completely useless in the camphor tree.

No matter how good you are at managing a company, you still need a company to manage.

Moreover, within the camphor tree faction, there are quite a few people like him who were once big bosses before the apocalypse.

so.
Chen Tianfu had no choice but to let the remaining half of the people join the scavenger team. Since they didn't have much capital, they could work as laborers and earn some points by helping with moving things.

The other half of the able-bodied men were all sent to participate in the construction.

Although he had considered opening a shop in the Dazhangshu commercial district and returning to his old profession.

But after inquiring about the rent for shops in the Dazhangshu commercial district, he immediately gave up.

The rent was far beyond what he could afford with 700 points.

Everything needs to be done gradually.

We will proceed on multiple fronts, taking steady and solid steps.

He had actually considered having Chen Shangtang's young grandsons join the reserve force of the People's Armed Forces Brigade, but the reserve force of the People's Armed Forces Brigade also had an assessment, and they were eliminated in the first round.

Time is like water.

Three days have passed since the judge and his men returned.

However, the reconnaissance mission in the waters off Palau was not interrupted. Uncle San gave Judge and the others a half-month rest and vacation, and sent another reconnaissance team, led by Xiao Jun, to conduct reconnaissance.

On their return from reconnaissance, they also brought back the helicopter that Judge and his team had left behind at the Chen family estate in the Philippines.

12 month 12 day.

A helicopter flies from the oil city to the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

The people on board these two helicopters were all men who were about to be promoted to squadron leader.

Some time ago, after Li Yu and his third uncle finalized the plan to expand the army, there was a period of personnel relocation and the distribution of new equipment.

Following the expansion of the military, the list of new combat battalion commanders and militia battalion commanders has also been finalized.

They have already taken up their posts, but a formal promotion ceremony has not yet been held for them.

It was delayed until now before it was finally held.

Inside the helicopter.

Dai Jiusheng looked at Dongfeng opposite him and laughed:
"Dongfeng, look at this, Hutou's become a battalion commander! The soldiers under your command are pretty fierce!"

Tiger Head, sitting next to Dongfeng, is 24 years old this year.

The snotty-nosed boy who used to break off icicles and gnaw on them under the eaves in the snow on the shores of Poyang Lake has now grown into a very impressive young man.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows, is tall and strong.

Dongfeng glanced at Hutou with great pride, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"This kid was lucky. He just happened to get a good deal on that mission, which is why he had enough contribution points."

Dai Jiusheng looked at Dongfeng and asked:

"You've been with Big Camphor Tree for quite some time now, haven't you?"

Dongfeng looked up and calculated the days. "It should be about six years now."

Dai Jiusheng's eyes were full of surprise. "You're so many years ahead of me. That's impressive."

Dongfeng pointed at him, "You old rascal, are you mocking me? You joined the Big Camphor Tree even later than me, right? And now you're going to become the captain of a combat battalion!"

Both men were promoted from captains of the militia brigade to captains of the combat brigade.

As for Chen Hutou, he was promoted from deputy captain of the militia brigade to captain.

Although Chen Hutou is young, he has been a member of Dazhangshu for nearly six years, making him quite senior in the militia brigade in terms of experience.

Dai Jiusheng joined the team later than Dongfeng, but not by much.

"I joined later than you, but it's been five years already. These five years have gone by so fast."

He had left half a sentence unsaid: five years! His son, Dai Fengmang, was almost an adult.

He looked at the east wind and asked again:
"I heard there are two more senior figures. Do you know Yu Ming? I heard he's very experienced?"

“Yu Ming,” Dongfeng’s eyes flashed with reminiscence. The two seniors Dai Jiusheng mentioned were actually two other people who had been promoted to captains of combat battalions.

These two people are named Yu Ming and Chen Delong.

They are not in the oil city; they have been stationed at the headquarters base.

After a moment's thought, Dongfeng replied:

“I’ve dealt with Yu Ming before. I think he joined the Big Camphor Tree in the second year after it was founded, around the same time as that Yu Wei guy.”

"He's considered one of the oldest figures in the current militia brigade."

"There is no doubt that his name is on the list of those who were promoted to captain of the combat battalion this time."

Dai Jiusheng pointed to a young man sitting at the back of the cabin.
Do you know that person?

Dongfeng laughed:

"How could I not know him? He's Xie Dongming, the son of the barbecue restaurant owner! Old Xie, we're very familiar with each other."

Dai Jiusheng looked at Xie Zihao and sighed:
"Xie Dongming is really smart. He sent his son to the militia brigade. After all these years, he has finally made it."

Xie Dongming seems to have three stores in the oil city now, and he has points programs. His son is doing well now too. Next time I go to his store, I'm definitely going to rip him off!

While Dongfeng and Dai Jiusheng were chatting.

Rear of the cabin.

Xie Zihao looked at the Undying Number One beside him. He hadn't heard a single word from this Undying Number One along the way.

Unfortunately, he was sitting on the very edge, next to only this Undying Number One.

I can't even chat with people.

After remaining silent the whole way, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to ask Number One:
"Sis, what's your real name?"

Undying Number One raised his head, revealing a cold and aloof face.

She glanced at Xie Zihao, then lowered her head again as if she hadn't heard him.

"???" Xie Zihao was a little confused. What did this mean?

"My name is Xie Zihao. Can I get to know you?" This time, Xie Zihao went straight to the point and made his request clear.

Undying Number One didn't even raise his head this time, completely ignoring Xie Zihao. "???"

Xie Zihao's face turned bright red. It wasn't the eldest sister!
That's incredibly rude of you. We're all captains of the militia brigade, so we'll all be colleagues from now on.

Why can't they even give me a friendly look?

The key point is that the first time she looked up, it meant she could hear; the second time she didn't look up, it meant...
Xie Zihao instantly turned red.

Sitting to the left of the Undying One, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this scene.

"Xiao Xie, do you think the Undying Army doesn't have names? Asking that is just asking for trouble," Shen Xiaoxiao poked her head out and said to Xie Zihao.

Xie Zihao craned his neck and replied with a slightly displeased expression:
"It must have a name!"

Shen Xiaoxiao said happily:
"It seems you still don't understand the Undying Army. They don't have names. Even when they submitted the promotion list this time, they filled in 'Undying Number One.' The people at headquarters couldn't find out, let alone you."

Xie Zihao was stunned upon hearing this.

How could the headquarters' investigation department not even bother to investigate the background of these people, given that this was such a major event as the promotion of the militia brigade captain?

Moreover, they didn't even bother to find out the name of this "Undying Number One" before directly making her the captain of the People's Armed Forces Brigade?

What Xie Zihao didn't know was that the militia brigade of Undying Number One only consisted of members of the Undying Army.

They are a special entity within the entire armed forces department.

The two were chatting while straddling Undying Number One, when Undying Number One found it a bit noisy and stood up.

He looked at Xie Zihao and pointed to his original spot.

Xie Zihao instantly understood what she meant and quickly switched places with her.

Shen Xiaoxiao is a straightforward person, just like her strong physique.

She was also a great chatterbox, and Xie Zihao had a very pleasant conversation with her.

He looked at the bold and spirited Shen Xiaoxiao before him, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
This Shen Xiaoxiao is no ordinary person; she has a lot of powerful backers.

Huang Guangyuan, the manager of the trading market in the oil city, is an old acquaintance of hers.

Zhong Chuchu, deputy director of the internal affairs department of the oil city, is her best friend.

It is said that Zhou Weiguo, the person in charge of the camphor tree breeding center, is also Shen Xiaoxiao's boyfriend.

That's an incredibly powerful background.

Aside from Dai Jiusheng and Dongfeng, Xie Zihao and Shen Xiaoxiao were chatting in the helicopter.

Other prospective militia captains sitting nearby also struck up conversations with those in the vicinity, hoping to get to know each other.

Two and a half hours later.

The helicopter landed at the first outer city of Dazhangshu.

Among these promoted personnel, several were visiting the headquarters for the first time.

Such as Chang Yichang, Zhou Dafu, Wang Ou, Mengde, and Immortal No. 1.

After they disembarked from the helicopter, they were taken away by Yi Jing, the captain of the Second Operations Battalion, and taken to the administration building.

Chen Delong, Yu Ming, and Jiang Xin had been waiting for a long time at the administration building.

On the way, the I Ching reminded them:
"You guys come with me to get the new clothes first. You can eat something and rest for a bit. At 2 PM, you'll change into these new captain's clothes."

"I will send someone to pick you up then, and I will take you to the People's Square in the buffer zone."

"The leaders and the president will be present at this promotion ceremony to personally present you with new points number cards and badges."

In the hierarchical system of the Dazhangshu base, military personnel generally hold higher ranks than those in other fields.

All the battalion commanders are first-level personnel.

If we include the four newly added combat battalion commanders, there will be a total of fourteen combat battalion commanders.

All members of the combat team are Level 2 personnel.

The People's Armed Forces Department is one level lower than the Combat Brigade, so all the captains of the People's Armed Forces Brigade are also Level 2 personnel.

As for the ordinary combat personnel of the Civil Armed Forces Department, they were all Level 3 personnel.

The reserve personnel of the Civil Armed Forces Department are classified as Level 4 personnel.

For Dai Jiusheng, Yu Ming, Chen Delong, and Dong Feng, this was not just a simple promotion to combat battalion commander; more importantly, it meant that they had officially entered the core leadership of the army within the Dazhangshu hierarchical system.

He became a Level 1 personnel.

Significant!

This means they will be able to have a separate house in the inner city of the headquarters base.

The inner city—a place they had never entered before.
In their hearts, it is incredibly sacred.

The I Ching continues to tell them things about rituals:
"This promotion ceremony will be broadcast live simultaneously from all branch bases in Dazhangshu."

"Each of you has two minutes to give your remarks. Remember not to exceed the time limit."

"In addition, there will be some residents coming to watch from the audience; the number is estimated to be no less than ten thousand. Please don't be nervous."

After entering the administration building, they received their new combat uniforms from the uniform management office.

They were then arranged to rest in the building next door.

Everyone was very nervous.

Taking advantage of this time, Dai Jiusheng went to the family quarters of the combat personnel in the second outer city, found his son Dai Fengmang, had a brief meeting, and ate a meal together.

Time flew by, and it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

They boarded the special car prepared for them and followed Yi Jing to the People's Square in the buffer city.

As they passed People's Square, they saw dense crowds outside the window.
The people looked at the car with envy.

This expansion of the army and the promotion of personnel have had a significant impact on the entire camphor tree faction.

After all, the number of troops expanded this time is just too large!
Moreover, such a high-level promotion is a rare occurrence.

Among the crowd, many people pointed at the car, their faces filled with envy.

"See this vehicle? The people sitting in this vehicle are all about to be promoted to captains of combat battalions and militia battalions! That's awesome!"

“My son was a reserve member of the militia brigade before, and now he has become a full member. In a few years, my son will also be able to ride on this bus and be promoted in a grand manner!”

"Wow! Your son is really successful, Old Dong, you're doing great! You're going to enjoy a comfortable life from now on!"

"That's right, that's right. The benefits in the Minwu Brigade are really good. I've worked on the construction site for three or four years and even reached the supervisor level, but my benefits are still a little worse than my son's."

I envy you!

Old Dong's old face was all smiles, his wrinkles crinkling as he looked at the car that everyone was watching.

It was as if he could see his son, who would one day ride in that car.

Once they got into that car, the entire Dong family really rose to prominence!
A companion nearby remarked:

"The military personnel in our big camphor tree have a really high status, but that's only right. They defend our homeland and protect us, so it's normal for them to have high treatment and status!"

"It's a pity that my son couldn't go in; he can only work with me on the construction site."

Upon hearing this, bystanders immediately cursed:
"Come on, your son has been assigned to the railway construction department. Once the construction is completed, he will be promoted to supervisor. You two will both be supervisors, with stable salaries and not too much work. Isn't that a comfortable life?"
