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

Chapter 349: Open Secret, Reporting the Itinerary
Along the street in the camp, soldiers stood on both sides, looking at the troop carriers that were about to leave and saluting in unison.

Soldiers from the entire battalion were bidding farewell to the old soldier.

Chen Jun stood by the road. He looked at the soldiers who climbed onto the vehicles reluctantly, and turned slightly to the side, unwilling to look anymore.

Although we didn’t stay in the first battalion for a long time, we were all comrades and lived together every day. So many familiar faces were leaving.

It's definitely a bit of a shame.

Lao He next to him touched his belly and also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although He Yingtao had worked as an instructor for a period of time, he had been a company commander for a longer time.

He suddenly mentioned the instructor and right away he focused on the demobilization work of such a large battalion.

When it comes to pressure, Lao He deserves to be ranked first.

For the past half month, I really didn't dare to relax at all.

But it will be fine next time.

The military district took good care of their battalion to prevent the demobilization from affecting the normal work of the battalion.

The discharge from the army is scheduled today, and the promotion ceremony will be held tomorrow.

This time was also the last time for the first battalion to be collectively promoted or awarded ranks. The privileges granted to the battalion for the pilot program almost coincided with this promotion.

It's coming to an end.

There will be no more such a pilot camp in the future, let alone such great privileges.

He Yingtao took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jun: "Old Chen, the matter of retiring is settled. Shouldn't you prepare for work tomorrow?"

"Nothing to prepare."

Chen Jun squatted on the ground and took the cigarette, then pointed in the direction of the artillery field and said, "There will be no training this morning. In the afternoon, each company will start to publicize the promotion."

"The whole battalion should come out to clean the camp area, and propaganda must be in place."

"See which squad leaders have retired and arrange for new squad leaders to take their place as soon as possible. If there are not enough, recruit soldiers from the infantry platoons under the tank company, artillery company, or armored company."

"Then each company held a meeting and invited experienced veterans to come on stage and share their experiences as squad leaders."

"Go get some outstanding NCO quotas or awards in the brigade, just to give it some excitement."

"The promotion will be held at the artillery field tomorrow. Please make arrangements for the comrades who will be promoted and make preparations together."

"Okay, that's easy."

He Yingtao responded, pulled up his trouser legs and squatted beside Chen Jun like a big bear, puffing out smoke.

After finishing his cigarette, Lao He stretched out his arm to touch Chen Jun, and smiled as he squeezed his fat face: "Lao Chen, is it time to go see your father-in-law?"

Um? ! !
When Chen Jun heard Lao He's question, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had never mentioned this in the camp?

"how do you know?"

"Hey! How should I know?"

He Yingtao curled his lips when he heard this: "You should ask the entire group army how many people still don't know."

"It's been a hot topic in the brigade these past two days. Not only do I know that you're going to visit your father-in-law, but I also know that the political commissar has prepared a lot of good things for you."

Damn it! ! !

Chen Jun was really shocked this time.

He has been busy with his discharge from the army recently, and he has been to the brigade quite often, but he has never heard anyone mention this matter.

No one asked him.

Seeing Chen Jun making a fuss, He Yingtao bared his big yellow teeth, took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Chen Jun's hand.

"Don't blame me for being disloyal. I can't really help you with your matter. I can't get you any good stuff."

"Just consider this as my contribution. You have to understand me. I have a wife and children to support. I live a tight life every month. This thousand is my food allowance."

"Damn it, I'm going to ask Lao Ma for cigarettes this month."

"You're fucking ass!!!"

As soon as He Yingtao finished speaking, Ma Hongjie came over from a distance. While Chen Jun was distracted, Old Ma took the one thousand from his hand and counted it.

Then he gave it back to Chen Jun, and he also took out money from his own pocket, and he managed to collect eight hundred yuan from four pockets.

"Old Chen, I didn't bring enough money today. I owe you two hundred. Here are eight hundred first as a gift. I'll make up for it when I get my salary."

After saying that, Ma Hongjie turned all his pockets upside down and shook them twice in front of He Yingtao.

"Do you still want to get some? I'm even poorer than you. I can't even afford cigarettes if I give the share."

"stop!"

“Wait a minute!!”

Chen Jun felt really numb when he saw the so-called "share money" stuffed into his hand.

"No, who told you that I should go see my father-in-law?"

"No, I should go meet my father-in-law, but even if that's the case, it's not right to give a gift now, right? We haven't even started yet."

"Keep it."

He Yingtao took a breath calmly. Maybe the fat man couldn't squat on the ground, so he took a breath and said, "With your sense of confidentiality, I'm afraid we won't receive the letter next time we have a child."

"Come on, Lao Chen. I will support you with my spirit."

Lao He stood up and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder. He clenched his fist and made a cheering gesture, then stood up and left in a cool manner.

Ma Hongjie watched the instructors leave, and he also imitated what Lao He had just done and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder.

"Old Chen, I can't help you with this matter, but I have heard a saying that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we should not be afraid."

"Face it with a smile. The best way to overcome difficulties is to face them head on. Come on, Lao Chen."

After saying that, Lao Ma also turned and left.

Chen Jun was left squatting on the ground, completely confused. What the hell was going on?
Coincidentally, the two had just left.

Chief of Staff Liang Diaomao was passing by. He turned his head and saw Chen Jun squatting on the side of the road with a handful of cash in his hand.

Looking at the instructor and deputy battalion commander who were still not far away, Liang Kexiang raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead, muttering: "Damn, I almost forgot something important."

As he said that, he walked up to Chen Jun, took the money in his hand and counted it.

After counting, Lao Liang curled his lips and said, "Fuck, nine hundred per person?"

"Old Chen, I'll give you 1,000 yuan. You have to be modest when you go to your father-in-law's house, okay?"

"Remember, when we go to someone's house, we have to be alert. When you go, keep an eye on the time. If you go in the morning, go there at 11 o'clock."

"This way, since it's not mealtime, you can find an excuse to leave after dinner, and you don't have to stay too long and make things awkward. If it's in the afternoon, don't go. Family members are usually together for dinner, and you can't stay the night if you just go."

"It's not appropriate to drive you away. You have to be more discerning. This is my experience. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Lao Liang also started to take out money, Chen Jun couldn't bear it anymore. He reached out and grabbed Liang Kexiang, and pressed him to squat on the curb next to him.

Then, Chen Jun looked at Liang Kexiang very seriously and asked, "Stop talking nonsense. You are still a bachelor, and you are still passing on your experience to me?"

"Tell me the truth, how did you know I was going to my father-in-law's house?"

"Who spread this story?"

Chen Jun was indeed confused. He definitely had not told anyone about it, let alone Li Haiyao.

She's a lesbian, so it's impossible for her to tell everyone that I'm going to her house, right?

"Who spread this? I heard it from Xiao Li first, and then everyone started saying the same thing."

Liang Kexiang spread his hands. From the look in this boy's eyes, it was not difficult to tell that this seemed to be just a very ordinary thing.

It's all known to everyone.

"Which Xiao Li?"

Chen Jun asked hurriedly.

"It's the deputy squad leader of the second squad of the tank company. I saw him just now."

Liang Kexiang ignored Chen Jun's doubts, took out the cash from his pocket, counted it, and handed it to Chen Jun: "I also gave a gift." "It may not be very exciting to visit the leader's home, but I believe you can do it."

"come on!!"

Three people came over to give him gifts one after another, which made Chen Jun totally confused.

He always felt that there was something odd about this matter.

It felt like the whole camp knew that he was going to the girl's house.

But he himself was not aware of what the entire battalion already knew.

All discussions seemed to bypass him.

This made Chen Jun very puzzled. After standing there for a moment, he turned around and returned to the camp headquarters.

Arriving at the office, Chen Jun casually put the money on the desk, intending to take some time to interrogate the three guys again.

But right now, he has more important things to do.

The promotion meeting to be held tomorrow will be much more grand than the last time the camp was first formed.

There are more people attending the meeting.

Starting from him as the battalion commander, it also includes the political instructor and the deputy battalion commander.

The newly promoted company commanders, deputy company commanders and instructors of the armored company and tank company.

Two company commanders were promoted to the battalion, and a series of changes had to be made to the work of the companies.

In addition, there are veterans in each company who are relatively capable and within the appropriate age range and who have been awarded third-class merit twice at the end of the year, and they will also be promoted to second lieutenants and start as platoon leaders at the grassroots level.

Because the current situation is so special, there are many vacancies for promotion.

Some people who do not meet the requirements of two third-class merits can apply for it.

After all, the meaning is different. The last promotion was to reserve enough cadres for the entire battalion.

This time, it was in preparation for the upcoming big move of the entire brigade.

The higher-ups would definitely not open such a big hole for no reason.

Chen Jun was promoted to lieutenant colonel at the battalion level, and the instructor and deputy battalion commander were both promoted to major. The notification of promotion had already arrived in the battalion.

Such a big ceremony.

It was the day after the battalion was discharged, so as the battalion commander, he definitely couldn't sit still.

As for going to my father-in-law's house.
This thing became known to everyone in the camp, it was purely an accident.

How could Chen Jun guess the complicated reasons behind this? It would be useless even if he asked He Yingtao.

Lao He himself couldn't tell where the news spread from.

The news spread so quickly that it even spread among the entire army group, brigade level, or battalion level cadres.

As for the reason, it’s not complicated.

The cause was that Xu Wensheng, the political commissar of the 179th Brigade, had been always bringing his private collection of "Four Treasures of the Study" to chat with the military political commissar, regardless of whether he had anything to do recently.

The intention was obviously to ask for tea.

It’s not like our Political Commissar Xu doesn’t have some interesting stuff in his hands, but his stuff is not suitable for Chen Jun to take.

The four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. It was too inappropriate for Chen Jun to bring these things to the house at his age.

Therefore, Old Xu simply set his sights on the tea that the political commissar had secretly stored.

That guy goes there to talk twice a day without fail.

There is a saying that goes, when a political commissar opens his mouth, it is as if he has a million soldiers in his heart.

He can talk non-stop all day long. It is no exaggeration to say that he can win a battle thousands of miles away and his mouth is like a cannon.

The tea that the military and political commissar usually has is a treasure. Who doesn’t know that he is the number one person in each unit of the military?
But who can have the blessing to enjoy it?
Normally, if you sniff the tea through the jar, you will be scolded because it will affect the aroma of the tea.

Hey!
Such a precious thing was finally exchanged by Xu Wensheng for two cans.

There is not much that is attractive about tea itself. It is a good thing, but not everyone likes it.

What everyone is most curious about is why Lao Xu invested so much money.

What ability did he rely on to get things from the hoarding rat?

After some inquiries, it turned out that Chen Jun's matter was not a secret at all, so it was discovered.

The 179th Brigade had already attracted a lot of attention due to the pilot project, and now that their brigade was making such a big move, it was natural that the news would spread among the leaders.

It’s just that due to some reasons, when it reached the ears of people in lower units, the versions were different, but only one point was the same.

That’s Captain Chen from the pilot camp, who’s going to his father-in-law’s house.

Chen Jun was busy organizing tomorrow's work in the office.

After sending off the old soldiers, the soldiers in the battalion were urged by the company commanders to take off their ribbons and start drawing personnel from the infantry platoons to fill the missing personnel in each company.

Anyway, there are a lot of people in the infantry platoon, and Chen Jun took these issues into consideration when making the allocation.

First, infantry is easy to train and spread on the battlefield. With the current individual firepower, the destructive power plus the coordination of tanks, at close range, is no less powerful than a tank.

Second, infantrymen are easy to train, and after staying in the camp for a long time, they will be familiar with the operations of each company and the specific firepower tasks they are responsible for.

You can get started as quickly as possible.

For example, this time, nearly a hundred non-commissioned officers retired from the battalion, but their vacant positions could be easily filled by infantry platoons.

Anyway, there is still a group of new soldiers in the recruit training center who are looking forward to joining the company and are eager to grow.

If they are replenished by then, they can be assigned to the infantry platoon.

As I said, infantry is an easy branch of the army to train, and Chen Jun's arrangement will greatly reduce the impact on all aspects of the camp.

in the afternoon.

The soldiers in the camp began to clean the entire camp, still using clean water to sprinkle the streets and yellow earth to pave the roads.

Although the slogan was to prepare for tomorrow's promotion meeting and to welcome the leaders, the actual situation was clear to all the company commanders.

We should take advantage of this general cleaning to gather all the soldiers to work together, and then organize class meetings in the evening to get to know each other.

This is to offset the impact of retirement.

When the camp was working in full swing, no one noticed Li Haiyao alone. He walked around the camp and listened to the soldiers discussing the news of tomorrow's awarding of ranks.

She returned to the dormitory silently and took out her cell phone from her bag. She might have been a little nervous.

It could also be that she didn't know how to bring up the matter.

In short, Li Haiyao held the phone in her hand for a long time before she made up her mind to open the address book and turn to the column with the note "brother".

It was broadcast.

"Yaoyao?!!"

After dialing the number, a slightly surprised voice soon came from the other end.

"Yeah, bro, it's me."

"I, I'm going home tomorrow."

"One or two?"

The person who answered the phone seemed to know something and asked calmly.

"Two, two people."

"Okay, I got it. Send me a time tomorrow so I can have someone pick you up."

"Okay, thank you brother!!"

After saying thank you, Li Haiyao quickly hung up the phone and put it on the bed.

The posture seemed as if he was afraid that the person opposite him would ask more questions.
