They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 163: HKUST’s Dilemma and Sharpening the Sword Plan

Tanzhou high-speed railway station.

More than a dozen soldiers in uniform appeared, and two columns walked out of the carriage in unison. They walked neatly, and the special attire and disciplined formation quickly attracted the attention of countless passengers around.

Since the release of the newly revised common doctrine on April 18, 4, in compliance with the development of the times and in response to the calls of officers and soldiers, the requirement that soldiers should wear casual clothes when going out for non-official duties has been cancelled.

It is true that soldiers in military uniforms occasionally appear in major cities, but it is quite rare for more than a dozen people to appear at one time like this.

a time.

Passengers near the high-speed rail station took out their mobile phones to take photos, and a girl wearing a yellow T-shirt with a SpongeBob SquarePants pattern printed on her chest even ran up to take a video.

Chai Shuyao has a lively personality. He raised his hand to make a face. Chen Ming did not laugh or say hello. He could only look ahead with a serious face and continue to follow the team.

At the same time, I also felt a little emotional in my heart. Only here, in this country, would civilians not be afraid when they see soldiers, but would be very close to them. But if you change the country and see soldiers, no one will run away quickly.

For fear of getting into trouble.

Ka Ka Ka! !

There was a sound of taking pictures around, mixed with some discussions, a group of people, others were wearing normal clothes, and he gathered directly from the training ground, wearing a camouflage uniform, naturally attracted more attention.

Listening to people around him praising his handsomeness, Chen Ming raised the corners of his mouth and raised his head confidently, which really satisfied his little vanity.

I have been staying in the military camp for most of the year, and it was quite nice to suddenly come out and see the bustling scene outside.

The crowd of onlookers had been following the video from the moment they got off the bus to the outside. As soon as they walked out of the station, they saw a middle-aged man about 34 years old holding up a red paper sign in his hand that read: Welcome to the exchange. group.

The other party was not wearing a military uniform, but standing in the bright sun with a motionless posture, he looked like a soldier.

This is an action engraved in my bones.

Perhaps in many cases, the soldiers themselves do not feel any difference in posture from those around them, there is nothing special, everyone is the same.

But for Chen Ming and others who are also soldiers, that figure is like a beacon in the dark night, too conspicuous. With this posture, they don't even have to hold up the sign, and they can find the target at a glance through the huge crowd. .

The leader of the team, Song Jianfei, walked over and talked with the two of them for a few words, then turned around and introduced: "Comrades, this is a professor of military science at the School of Systems Engineering of the University of Science and Technology, Professor Fang Lingken Fang, who is in charge of coming here to welcome us."

"The car is right outside, everyone should line up and follow it."

Fang Lingken put away the sign, looked at the team with the same smile, and greeted loudly: "Comrades, you have worked hard all the way. The college has arranged vehicles, which are not far outside. If you work hard, we will be there soon."

"Professor Fang is too polite." Everyone responded with smiles.

Chen Ming followed the queue, enjoying the surprised looks from the surrounding people from time to time, and followed the long queue.

Anyway, he is not the leader of this exchange group, so he does not need to be responsible for the connections, and there is no need to go over to say hello. All he needs to do is follow the arranged process.

The vehicle arranged by the National University of Defense Technology was also a minibus. It parked outside the stone pier not far from the entrance. It was only a few dozen meters away after turning a corner.

According to Chen Ming’s observation.

Chai Shuyao was probably a gangster in this exchange group. After getting on the bus, he did not sit around the front. Instead, he sat at the back with Chen Ming. The two simply said hello to Professor Fang without talking to each other. A few words.

Although the people who came on this exchange group had high military ranks, most of them were engaged in scientific research. Only six or seven were commanders of field troops, and the two of them really couldn't get a word in.

The vehicle started and the body swayed away.

Fang Lingken had been chatting and laughing with the members of the exchange group in front, talking about some professional scientific research topics. It was obvious that he had known some of the members of the exchange group for a long time. Chen Ming could understand part of the conversation, but he was not very interested.

I turned my head and looked out the window, looking at the bustling city outside and the people coming and going, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This was the return to his youth, the first time he had left the army, left the military camp, and came outside. It really felt like he was in another world.

"What are you thinking about?" Chai Shuyao next to him saw that Chen Ming remained silent for a long time and asked curiously: "Are you considering this training?"

"If you consider this, you don't have to worry. If the war zone can arrange for you to come over, it must be a response from the college and corresponding arrangements. Don't worry."

"Your job is to study hard."

Seeing that Chai Shuyao seemed very understanding, Chen Ming was slightly startled. He really didn't know much about Chai Shuyao. He only knew that she was a propaganda officer in a war zone and traveled around all day long.

Chen Ming has always been a little confused about his promotion, because he made a lot of preparations in the early stage. He knew that second-class meritorious service in the army could be promoted, and he also knew that a notice was required for promotion. According to the normal process, he should not come to the national defense now. The HKUST report is correct.At this time, he came with the exchange group, but the army cadres did not come. Could it be that the academy started the training process for him alone?

It's not realistic.

Chai Shuyao is a very smart woman. Just by seeing Chen Ming's silence, she roughly guessed his doubts.

He raised his hands to tuck his hair and said with a smile: "Well, I know what you are worried about, but you don't have to worry too much. In fact, the situation of the University of Defense Technology in recent years and the situation of the Seventh National Defense Academy are somewhat embarrassing."

"Especially the National University of Defense Technology, with the aura of being the only 985 and 211 double first-class military school in the country, coupled with the title of Military Youth, and under the background of being directly under the Military Ministry, the students here have been placed too much by the military and the outside world. expectations.”

"This expectation is that the grassroots troops hope that HKUST can cultivate the best students, and as students of HKUST, they hope that the army will provide them with a broader platform."

"In this way, there is a contradiction. The National University of Defense Technology is like other military academies. It just has a great reputation. It does not have a special distribution system or policy preference. The students must participate in the distribution of the entire military."

"In other words, 90.00% of the students who graduated from the National University of Defense Technology need to serve in the grassroots army after graduation. But how can the grassroots army provide so many high-quality positions for students?"

"The gap between the ideal and the reality has led to a two-way gap between the grassroots troops and the students, and the students have a two-way gap between the grassroots troops. This gap has not been resolved for a long time. The leaders discovered that they jointly carried out the "Sword Sharpening Plan" with the theater, and this plan started as a pilot project at the National University of Defense Technology."

"Sword-sharpening plan?" Chen Ming was a little surprised. It seemed that behind his promotion, there was more than just following the exchange group.

"That's right, it's the sword-sharpening plan." Chai Shu nodded and continued: "The initial stage of this plan is to reduce the college entrance examination admission rate, increase the number of military promotions, and increase the number of military college students entering the school. In this way, there is no need to worry about the quality of the soldiers."

"The current environment is that most of the people who come to join the army are college students who have stayed in grassroots troops. These people have good military qualities, more mature thinking, and are more stable. They are familiar with the operating procedures, management models, and rules and regulations of grassroots troops."

"What's more important is that these people come from the grassroots, get promoted and then go back to the grassroots. They understand the grassroots and don't feel a sense of gap. There is no good assignment after graduation, and there is something wrong with my mentality."

"This is no longer an exception. In our war zone, we graduate from the University of Science and Technology every year, train with ordinary companies every day, pull weeds every day, and become disappointed with the army. There are hundreds of applications for transfer every year. And this is just the University of Science and Technology."

"Not counting other graduates from military academies, Chen Ming, you have been in the army before, so you should be very clear about it. An ordinary bachelor's degree is definitely enough for grassroots troops."

"What is lacking is management ability and coordination ability. However, military academy graduates are full of enthusiasm at the beginning and want to do something big, but they do not have this ability."

"If you have been there, you also know that the army is not that high-end. Tanks, armored vehicles and tractors are no different. The operation, maintenance and upkeep of artillery and missiles can be understood by ordinary people if they study hard."

"Ninety percent of soldiers and officers who have truly high-precision equipment cannot have access to it, nor can they understand how to use it."

"Those weapons and equipment that can make the final decision do not require so many people to operate, and they cannot provide so many high-quality jobs. The concept of all-military college students has been proposed since mechanization, but now disadvantages have appeared and contradictions have also appeared."

"So the sword-sharpening plan followed shortly after, and you are the first batch of outstanding soldiers from the army in this year's military pilot plan. Not only you, all war zones have already graduated military academies in advance. At this stage, we have arranged for people to come over.”

"You are one of them. Our exchange group is also part of the Sharp Sword Project. Communication is two-way. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Chen Ming responded softly, he really understood.

With this said, the recent doubts about Tigan coming with the exchange group are all cleared up.

The Sword Sharpening Project not only sharpens the soldiers in the army, but also those who are about to graduate from the military academy. In the past, the two were managed separately and each studied their own way.

This year, some people entered the school early. Obviously, this is an immature plan of the military department. If it can be successfully implemented this year, then this plan will be implemented on a large scale.

Of course, the prerequisite for success is that the major military academies will once again reduce the admission rate for the annual college entrance examination, and the number of personnel will continue to decrease, sharpening the sword's edge.

The country is trying to cross the river by feeling stones and developing step by step. The army is also advancing with the times, resolving conflicts bit by bit and making the army stronger.

Maybe this plan won't have much significant effect in one or two years, but what about ten or eight years?

The military quality of grassroots troops will definitely be greatly improved as a result. Military quality directly affects combat effectiveness. It does not mean that a country will be strong if it has powerful weapons.

The operator of a weapon is still a human being after all. This is an essential problem.

Seeing Chen Ming thinking, Chai Shu smiled sweetly: "So, you have to work hard!"

"As a member of the first batch of sword-sharpening projects, you will all receive the attention of the military."

"As long as you perform well, you will definitely be noticed by the leaders above. If it causes some influence, or can promote the Sword Sharpening plan, you can think about this influence."
