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

Chapter 412: Zhongpei Notice, the Dilemma of the 179th Brigade
For many young people, the Chinese New Year actually lasts from a few days before New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Eve itself.

Once New Year’s Eve is over, it’s New Year’s Day.

Then this New Year is over.

Chen Jun was similar. He had nothing to do at home on the first day of the New Year, so he took Yingying to visit the Second and Fourth Masters' homes in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.

Her grandparents passed away very early. The two elderly people left one after another when Chen Jun was not even in junior high school. Chen Yingying doesn't even have any impression of them.

In the morning, the family drove.

Go to the villages of ethnic minorities, watch the New Year activities with singing and dancing, and join in the fun.

The Han people do not have many activities during the New Year. Most of the time they just drink and brag when they are half drunk.

Unlike other ethnic groups, after drinking, in addition to singing and dancing, they also hold some slope meetings, dance incense dragons, and firecracker dragon activities.

On the second day of the New Year, we start visiting relatives again.

When Chen Jun came back, Chen Baishui and Li Xiufen were completely liberated, from the second to the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.

Li Haiyao always drove, taking Chen Jun, Chen Yingying, and piles of gifts from home, and visited the homes of various aunts and uncles.

What can I say about this custom? If Chen Jun talked about it in private, he would definitely curl his lips and say it was a bad habit, but he couldn't resist his parents' constant urging.

Fortunately, Li Haiyao didn't think it was wrong, and she went from one house to another as if she was completing a task.

In the third year of junior high school, they made a special trip to Mr. Wu Jianguo's house.

You have to go.

The elders would come to the village to visit the younger generations, and would specifically remind them to visit their homes before leaving. If they left without saying a word, it would be impolite.

Fortunately, on the fifth day of the New Year, this whirlwind visit to relatives finally came to an end.

In the evening, after dinner, Chen Jun was sitting in the main room chatting with his parents, while Chen Yingying was holding his mobile phone and playing games beside him.

While I was talking on the phone, a phone call came in.

"Brother, someone called you, I hung up."

Chen Yingying stretched out her arms and shouted, reminding Chen Jun.

"Don't hang up. If you dare to hang up on me, I'll beat your ass. Forget what I told you before."

Chen Jun stood up with a stern face to scare Chen Yingying. Normally no one calls his phone.

Those old brothers from the Xijing Army Border Defense Academy are like missing persons all day long and cannot be contacted at all.

Among his peers, Lin Xiaodong contacts him most frequently.

But this idiot has no idea what a phone call means. Whenever there is something or someone wants to see him, he just comes directly over.

Chen Yingying stuck out her tongue, handed the phone to her brother, turned around and threw herself into Li Haiyao's arms, waving her little fists and glaring back angrily.

Chen Jun glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and saw that the call was from a landline. His expression straightened and he strode out of the main room.

Li Haiyao may have realized that something was wrong, so she quickly comforted Yingying, got up and followed her out.

The calls from the unit could only be about the arrangements for Zhongpei. Before the New Year, the military region was busy with military reform, and various aspects of work were squeezed together.

The entire war zone was in chaos.

Since the list is not even complete, there is no way to notify everyone of the exact departure time in detail.

Now that he saw the landline number without the address, Chen Jun knew what was going on.

He strode into the yard and swiped the screen of his mobile phone to answer the call.

"Chen Jun!"

As soon as the call was connected, the deep voice of Xu Wensheng, the political commissar of the 179th Brigade, came from the other end of the phone.

"Happy New Year, Political Commissar!!"

Chen Jun responded in a loud voice.

"What a shit."

In the office of the commander of the 179th Brigade, Xu Wensheng sat on the office chair with a tired look on his face, while the brigade commander Tao Junming sat on the sofa in the distance, smoking gloomily.

Political Commissar Xu laughed and cursed, then stood up, pulled the telephone cord, pushed open the office window, sat down again and said, "Are you having a good year?"

"You didn't remember me during the Chinese New Year, but now you remember to wish me a happy new year?"

"It's unfair, Political Commissar."

Chen Jun immediately complained: "I called both you and Tao Lu, but I couldn't get through."

"Alright, alright, stop wasting time here. The military district conference just ended, and the time to report to the National Defense University for the training session has been set."

"Report on the seventh day, and the official start time will be on the eighth day, for a period of three months."

"There is only one day left to report. At this critical moment, you must not be late. Comrade Yang Chuanzhou from the brigade will go with you."

"But he went to the Political Science College, and you went to the Joint Operations College, and the campuses are not in the same place."

"After that, study hard and don't lose our 179 members, okay?"

"Yes, Commissar!!"

Chen Jun responded loudly.

Xu Wensheng picked up the microphone and gestured to Tao Junming twice. Tao Junming waved his hand, crossed his legs and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Political Commissar Xu simply emphasized himself: "Tao Lieutenant Colonel just said that if your performance in the training is not outstanding, you bastard, you better think about how to explain it when you come back."

"that's it."

After saying that, Xu Wensheng hung up the phone with a "click".

Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the phone, Chen Jun smiled and touched his nose. The political commissar usually doesn't curse at people.

This sudden incident made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Is the time confirmed?"

Li Haiyao stood nearby and asked softly.

"Well, we'll report on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and we'll probably leave on the sixth day. It's just in time for people to go back to work during the Spring Festival travel rush, so it's safer to leave earlier."

"Okay, let's go tomorrow, then."

Li Haiyao said this and she hesitated.

Chen Jun looked at the other party who was hesitant to speak, and thought that Li Haiyao had not stayed long enough, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, come back when you have time."

"I'll tell my parents later."

"No, it's not." Hearing this, Li Haiyao hurriedly shook her head and said, "I will definitely come back when I have time in the future."

"I wanted to say that Yingying mentioned your third uncle to me this afternoon. She said that it seemed that your third uncle went to your eldest uncle's house today and wanted to take Sister Qianqian for a checkup, and the two families had a quarrel."

"It was quite unpleasant. Mom and Dad seemed to have guessed that you were going to leave in the next few days. They didn't let Yingying tell you, but she told me."

"I was thinking about finding time to talk to you in the evening."

"Again?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun frowned.

To be honest, he had almost forgotten the discussion on this matter on New Year's Eve.

It’s mainly about his uncle’s family affairs, and he really doesn’t want to get involved, as it would be a waste of effort.

"What exactly happened? What's Chen Qian's attitude?"

"If she stands on the side of Third Uncle, then we will go to the county tomorrow. If she stands on the side of Big Uncle, then we will just pretend we don't know about this."

Chen Jun made up his mind. If the people he wanted to help were stubborn and refused to change their ways, then he would have nothing to say and would respect their choices.

But he ignored the principle that a mother should be strong.

Chen Qian has been through so many things in the past two years, and she has come to her senses. She knows that she has let her family down, and it doesn't matter how much hardship she has to endure.

But the child is still young.

My third uncle has a temper as straightforward as a stick. After visiting relatives during the New Year, he ran to the old man's house and said that he wanted to take his niece for a physical examination.

And assign her a job.

The eldest brother, who always had a stern face, was definitely not happy about it, and the two had a big fight, attracting half of the village to watch.

When Chen Qian learned that she might be ill, she wanted to go with her uncle on the spot, but unfortunately she met Tai Jipin's family.

Chen Kaijiang thought that his younger brother was not giving him face, so he stopped him from bringing people, and a big quarrel ensued.

In the end, Chen Futong felt too embarrassed and just waved his hand and left.

When he returned to the city that day, Li Haiyao told everyone everything he had heard.

"I don't recommend you go to school. Your identity as a soldier is too sensitive. If it gets exposed, you'll probably be in trouble."

"Even if the trouble is not big, considering the situation of New Year's Eve, if it gets out, it will inevitably give people something to talk about."

Li Haiyao said after considering for a moment.

She actually sympathized with Li Qian, but sympathy was just sympathy.

Some things can't be done that way.

Hearing the concern in Li Haiyao's words, Chen Jun grinned, turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.

"What are you thinking? Do I need to go to school to deal with him?"

"I'm not stupid. I just said that to my parents. I always do things with integrity."

Chen Jun comforted him. He really didn't want to go to Rong'an No. 1 High School. He had drunk a little wine at that time, and in front of his elders, he was just talking nonsense.

Since childhood, Chen Kaijiang's family has caused a lot of trouble to their family and made Li Xiufen angry to the point of crying.

Even if I have to clean up, I have to return these troubles that have caused me trouble.

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Lin Xiaodong.

Then I went back to the house and told my parents that I was leaving tomorrow. Since we were about to leave, we had to discuss everything and return the military vehicle to the armed forces department early tomorrow.

As for matters concerning his uncle, Chen Jun didn't mention a single word about him.

Chen Jun is going to Zhongpei, and Li Haiyao is about to report back to the unit.

Now is the time for unit changes.

The annual leave cannot be too long, as the trip changes every day.

Go back as soon as possible.

. . . . . . . . .

The changes in the 179th Brigade are indeed significant.

After Political Commissar Xu hung up the phone, he slumped in his chair exhausted. Because of the military reform, the military district had almost no rest during the New Year.

The theme of the meetings in recent days has been “younger cadres.”

From the division commander to the regiment commander to the battalion commander, the list of transfers to civilian jobs is like a death curse, and is discussed and announced at the meeting every day.

It was originally stipulated that if a battalion-level cadre had not been promoted by the age of 40, he would have to transfer to civilian work. However, with the integration and informatization of the economy, the requirements for academic qualifications and knowledge have been raised.

The military district has lowered the age for demobilization at the battalion level to 36 years old. As long as the standard is met, it is impossible for all to be demobilized, but 70% will be transferred to logistics support agencies.

After all, the local area cannot accommodate such a large number of demobilized personnel and there is no way to provide them with resettlement.

More than 70% of the regiment-level personnel have to be demobilized and do not even have the chance of resettlement.

The division level is fine, but this time the military made too much noise.

The army group's number had already begun to plan changes and reduce its troops, causing each unit to try to find connections, people, and gifts in order to stay.

The situation on the 179th Brigade's side is slightly better. After all, it is one of the first brigades to form a combined battalion, and the higher-ups haven't touched their cadres yet.

But this is also the most troublesome thing.

Many units asked others to temporarily transfer some of their related cadres to the 179th Brigade.

One or two is fine, Tao Lu can handle it, but the problem is that these days, there are too many people who have asked for favors and used the back door.

If you take all of them.

The 179th Brigade is probably a brigade, and there will be more than a hundred battalion-level cadres. This is the result of accepting them slowly.

If we let go, to put it nicely, with the current strength of the brigade, I'm afraid there are more colonels than soldiers.

Isn't that bullshit?

Xu Wensheng rubbed his temples with a headache. Looking at Lao Tao who was still smoking one cigarette after another, he frowned and said, "Lao Tao, please say something."

"Now all units are laying off people, and everyone wants to fill in new people. Everyone has their own reasons for filling in new people. What should we do?"

"What do you mean?"

Tao Junming curled his lips: "You don't want any of them, but you're stuffing them all in my place. Do you really think the people above you are all fools?"

"The brigade organization has been dismantled. Before the dismantling, we didn't have so many battalion commanders. After the dismantling, there are more battalion commanders. When the war zone blames us, who the hell will take the blame for me?"

"Not even one."

"Then you have offended everyone, haven't you?"

Xu Wensheng sighed secretly, it was indeed a good thing for the 179th Brigade to be the initial pilot brigade, but the military reform policies were constantly changing.

Good things eventually turn bad.

Now the entire brigade has been pushed to the forefront.

In this situation, old friends all came over to say good things, and it was not up to them to decide who to keep and who not to keep.

It’s wrong to help anyone, and it’s also wrong not to help.

The 179th Brigade, a unit that was once full of golden glory, has changed its policy.

Now, it has become the hottest potato.

"There is no other way. Let's follow the suggestion of the theater army chief of staff. All units will relocate in the next few days, and our brigade will not move for the time being."

Tao Junming said in a hoarse voice.

"As long as the higher-ups speak up, it will be useless for other units to target us. They will go to Huzhou and we will stay in Pengcheng."

"The garrisons are 500 to 600 kilometers apart. How can we transfer cadres? Will they still be needed in the future?"

"That's the only way for now."

Political Commissar Xu Wensheng thought for a moment and nodded slightly. He also knew the solution in the war zone.

It's just that they are unwilling to accept it unless it is absolutely necessary.

The military reform policy changes every day. All other units in the military have moved away, but their relocation time has been delayed.

Who knows what will happen next?

The front-line troops will definitely follow the military command. If they are left behind, it is not impossible that they will be directly assigned from the front-line troops to the second- or third-line support units.

If that really happens, Tao Junming and Xu Wensheng's hopes of climbing up the ladder will be dashed.

You're not even the main force anymore, and you're still climbing up.

But right now, there seems to be no other way.

. . . . . . . . .

the other side.

Chen Jun had no idea about the turmoil in the brigade. He only knew the final result but not the process.

After telling my parents that I was leaving the next day, as expected, Li Xiufen stuffed a lot of food into Chen Jun's and Li Haiyao's backpacks and suitcases.

This time, even Chen Yingying was not stingy and was running around busily.

It’s really because we had too much to eat at home this time.

Even if Chen Jun took some away, he wouldn't be able to finish the rest.

Early the next morning.

Chen Jun and Li Haiyao had breakfast at home and went out early on the pretext of returning the car to the armed forces department and buying plane tickets.

Chen Baishui and Li Xiufen didn't take it seriously, after all, they didn't bring any luggage.

They also had to go to the town to get money and give Li Haiyao a big red envelope to give it to her when they left.

This is the rule for bringing a girlfriend to your home for the first time, and the old couple takes it very seriously.

However, neither of them expected this.

Chen Jun drove around the village entrance and then headed straight for Chen Kaijiang's home.

In his words, that means winning people over with virtue.

As for which Germany it is.

That remains to be considered.
