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

Chapter 427: Sheep in the Academy, Tigers and Wolves in the Workplace

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and saddles make the horse, and there is some truth to it.

In the auditorium, the ranks of more than half of the officers were changed, from the original two bars two and two bars three to two thick curved bars.

The overall feeling is instantly different.

At least the mental sense of oppression should be reduced by several levels.

Although the suggestion was made by Chen Jun.

But the decision-making and supervision were carried out by old man Dai, who sat at the front of the auditorium, staring and calming the situation.

Who dares to grin?
but.

There is nothing to say about the fact that Chen Jun has no chance to change his title.

Because he was originally from the 179th Brigade, it would be of no use even if the lieutenant colonel was replaced by a fourth-term rank.

He was the battalion commander of the first battalion and now the deputy chief of staff of the brigade. Who among the brigade cadres doesn’t know him?
There's no need to look at his rank. Just listen to his name. Even the soldiers and officers who were transferred from the 179th Brigade know who he is.

There is no difference between changing and not changing.

After the change of title, all cadres will collectively sign a confidentiality agreement.

How should I put it? This kind of thing is more of a formality.

It is a two-way agreement, which requires that trainees are not allowed to tell the soldiers in their unit about some of the contents of the training after they are assigned to the unit.

It is also not allowed to practice some training methods of the units, form a framework structure, and spread it to the outside world.

Everyone present is an old hand.

You should know what you should say and what you shouldn't say.

Wait until all the processes are completed.

Only then did Old Man Dai leave the auditorium with his hands behind his back, feeling satisfied.

The old Taishan who was in charge of the place is gone.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Students from various majors began to change classrooms and take their last class before the exam.

It’s time to enter the second stage.

For Chen Jun, he could finally take a breath. Since coming to the college a month ago, he did not feel obviously physically tired.

Mainly because I'm too mentally exhausted.

It is no exaggeration to say that the few bits of knowledge he learned are not as much as the experience and knowledge he has output on his own.

Some of the lesson plans were compiled by Chen Jun with the assistance of teachers.

In addition, he also has to make practical arrangements for all the students in the China Training Program.

Although the arrangements for the staff and political work majors are simple, most of them only require following the battalion or brigade.

Just learn and watch.

Especially in terms of political work, there is nothing to learn at all. Zhongpei just needs to provide you with this experience.

But the command is complicated.

Many cadres have to change units continuously within two months.

Because the so-called synthetic framework cannot be mastered just by listening to lectures in class.

We must learn to integrate the advantages of each branch of the military, realize the dynamic integration of troops and combat platforms, and conduct rapid strikes and mobile adjustments according to combat needs.

During the adjustment, a large number of backbone personnel will be trained to fill the vacancies in the unit.

But how to fill it?
Chen Jun originally asked people to memorize the instruction manuals and transferred backbone personnel of the old tanks from other units to learn and train them continuously, and only then was he able to barely enable the First Battalion to reach the level of joint training.

This was because he already knew a little about it and didn't take any detours. It would take him half a year to manage a battalion.

And so on.

The synthesis of the entire brigade is easy to say, but the difficulty of building it is even greater.

Just to fill the gap, an entire brigade's backbone would be consumed, and even if all of them were filled, it would not be enough.

And it’s still far from enough.

Not to mention that the key to synthesis is to consider how to achieve effective coordination between various equipment and arms.

This requires day-to-day training, constantly changing the outline according to the training situation, and adjusting and continuously improving the capabilities of grassroots cadres.

What we just mentioned are just synthesis.

But the military's slogan has always been to carry out synthesis, informatization and digitization simultaneously.

Otherwise, if it comes to synthesis alone, there is no need for 99A or 04A, old tanks can also be used.

But with informatization, old tanks must be replaced.

Putting aside the difficulty of adapting to the deployment of new weapons, how can the communication systems between tanks, drones, and armored vehicles, regardless of their types, be able to transmit and share data in real time?

This is another big hurdle.

Which of the above items can be solved just by listening to the lectures?
I don’t know whether Chen Jun learned anything during his visit to Zhongpei this time, but at least he taught the theory of synthesis to the officers present.

It is not the case that when someone talks about synthesis, they can only describe it as a joint regiment temporarily drawn from a division-level unit during combat.
Come on, brother, to put it nicely it's a union, to put it bluntly it's a patchwork.

It is just a purely mechanized joint combat action unit.

The real sense of synthesis cannot be compared with a temporary joint group.

The joint regiment only meets the needs of ensuring firepower output on the battlefield and is far from being integrated.

. . . . . . . .

For now, there is no need to consider the placement of practice and just try your best to prepare for the final assessment of the first stage.

For Chen Jun, it was actually a lot easier.

On the second day, on the 4th, the assessment was conducted according to Mr. Dai's requirements. Zhongpei got all the marks in the first phase of the assessment, with a full score of 30 points.

But a low score does not mean that the assessment is easy.

The National Defense University's training for in-service cadres is comprehensive, and the homework assigned during the study process already includes comprehensive learning content.

At the end of the test, the topics were uniformly changed to "How to understand the basic spirit of the people's war thought", "Briefly describe the connotation of the new military revolution", "What stages has the development of information warfare gone through", "Briefly describe the basic characteristics of information warfare", "How do you view the 2016 national defense budget", and so on.

For the first stage of the assessment, the college only gave one morning, requiring all members of the China Training Program to choose three questions and answer them briefly or in detail.

In fact, these questions are the simplest and most common types in military subjects.

However, with different positions and experiences, the trend of joint, miniaturized and autonomous military reform is becoming more and more obvious.

Weapons and equipment are becoming more digital, precise, invisible and unmanned one after another.

Then these answers must at least revolve around military reform.

Chen Jun was actually fine because he was young and had just graduated from the Military Academy not long ago, so he had not forgotten many of the knowledge points he had learned before.

Combined with his own knowledge reserves, it was not difficult for him to get the 30 points in the exam.

Let’s not talk about the ones that are in control.

At least they won’t be like those older students in the Central Training Program, who have graduated from military academies more than ten years ago.

Normally at work, every little thing tests your clerical skills, and you generally won't put it too hard on yourself to write.

Now I am sitting in the classroom, my hair is almost rubbed bald, and I haven’t written a few words.

On the other hand, Chen Jun.

However, he finished it early, handed the three answer sheets and the checked question cards to the supervising teacher, then got up and left the classroom.

He has no choice but to be proactive.

It has been a month since I came to the National Defense University. According to the regulations of the academy, after the examination was completed this morning, some teachers stayed to review the examination papers and assess the scores.

Another group of instructors and all the students will set off in the afternoon and head straight to the headquarters of the 179th Brigade of the st Army of the Eastern Theater Command.

Pengcheng is not far from Kyoto, about 600 to 700 kilometers at most. If you set out after lunch and take a bus, you should be able to arrive before the evening roll call at work.

As the military reform was in progress, everything naturally focused on learning.

Anyway, that’s what Old Man Dai said.

Coming out of the classroom, there were already five buses parked on the avenue in front of the faculty building. The words “National Defense University” were painted on the military green bodies of the buses.

No need to ask, you can guess that the college arranged a convoy to depart in the afternoon.

Finally going back to work.

Chen Jun glanced at the bus, then took a deep breath, walked back to the dormitory and began to pack his things.

It had been almost a month since the brigade and the first battalion had been rebuilt. He could only occasionally hear about the progress of the brigade from Fatty He.

Even so, I still can't contact people often.

Fatty He has now been officially appointed as the battalion commander of the first battalion. Without Chen Jun to take care of things for him, he can only spend the whole day in the training ground, studying the knowledge that each branch of the military needs to master.

Have no idea.

If you don't study these things and don't even understand the responsibilities and capabilities of the soldiers in the battalion, then you can't even talk about commanding.

No need to think about it.

Today, the First Battalion still has its reputation and the second-class collective merit, but almost all of its cadres and soldiers have been replaced.

The camps are currently in the most difficult stage. More than 20 days have passed and the progress has been extremely slow.

This is the case with just one battalion.

Not to mention the Second Battalion, which has 200 new recruits occupying the organization of two companies.

That is the biggest resistance.

When the First Battalion was disbanded, Brigade Tao took the lead in sending some of the veterans of the First Battalion back to the brigade in advance to avoid them being divided up by other units.

Eighty percent of these veterans are now placed in the Second Battalion.

But even so, the mess in the camp could not be sorted out in a short period of time.

As for arranging several battalions to exchange recruits with each other, and for the nine battalions to consume the 200 men on average, that is not realistic either.

Because the brigade is currently composed of new battalions, the unity is in a mess and is at a stage where no one can take care of anyone else.

Right now, it's almost a dead end.

It takes time to heal slowly.

At this critical juncture, Chen Jun brought back hundreds of "fourth-phase" veterans and arranged them to various units.

The help it provides can be imagined.

Even if these guys are usually lazy and have high ranks, so their assistance to the grassroots is very limited, those five can always take over for one, right?

After all, they are the elites of each unit and the brave generals who have fought their way out of the grassroots units.

It’s definitely not that different.

Around noon, Chen Jun was in the dormitory. His suitcase was ready and his backpack was stuffed with toiletries. Everything was packed.

Dense footsteps were heard in the corridor outside. It should be the final examination of the first stage, and the papers had been handed in uniformly.

Chen Jun was still thinking about it.

Ji Tong pushed open the door and barged into Dormitory 202 with a look of grief and indignation. He looked down and saw that the bedding on the big iron bed had been put away. He was startled: "Damn, you came back so early just to pack up?"

"if not?"

Chen Jun glanced at Old Ji, and from his expression he knew that this guy didn't come with good intentions.

"Damn it, I think I'm going to fail this test. Before the test, I thought about the detailed explanation of synthetic construction and the future trend of informatization. I was well prepared for the test."

"He ended up asking me what I thought of the 2016 defense budget. How could I think of it now that it's already happened? I stared at it with my eyes wide open."

“You’re awesome!!”

Hearing this, Chen Jun gave a thumbs up, and then he curled his lips and looked at Old Ji: "If you have the ability, don't complain to me. Respond with your eyes wide open on the answer sheet."

"Do you think you can graduate successfully?"

"Fuck, I'm not stupid, what kind of questions are these?"

Ji Tong said a few more words, and seeing that Dormitory 202 had been cleaned, he put his hands on his hips and said in a mean way: "You cleaned your dormitory so clean, what about mine?"

"Didn't you clean up while you were at it?"

"Get lost, get lost."

Seeing this guy standing here talking nonsense for no reason, Chen Jun pushed Old Ji out of the dormitory.

But this is not an exception.

Soon, many cadres, familiar or unfamiliar, came to Room 202 to chat for a while.

Some people just talked about the contents of their test papers, while others just smoked a cigarette and expressed their feelings that the cultural courses were finally coming to an end.

They looked like old friends chatting, basically they just talked for a few words and then left, without talking about anything practical, let alone the 179th Brigade.

It seems very strange.

In fact, Chen Jun knew very well the purpose of these people coming here, which was nothing more than to go to the brigade this afternoon.

All supervision and resettlement work had to be assigned by him, a native of the 179th Brigade.

Those people came over and said they wanted to say hello or just chat.

In short, there is only one purpose, which is to send a signal that anything can be discussed after arriving at the unit.

It shows an attitude.

Chen Jun knew very well the purpose of these people, so he naturally accepted everyone who came and greeted them with a smile. He could chat with anyone and get along with anyone.

We are all in the army, so we just need to keep it tacit.

Just as Old Man Dai guessed, this group of people went down to the unit, regardless of whether they recognized Chen Jun's identity as a teacher or not.

But based on the 179th Brigade as a place to learn and practice.

It’s Chen Jun’s territory again.

Taking this opportunity to get acquainted and meet each other, Chen Jun just needs to do his job well in the brigade.

In the future, when this group of people returned to various war zones and mentioned Chen Jun, even if they did not give him a thumbs up, at least everyone remembered that they had studied with him.

Thank you for your care.

I owe you a favor, more or less.

For these cadres of the new youth generation, this thing cannot be exchanged for anything else.

After all, the base number is too large and the distribution is too wide.

After exchanging pleasantries with these cadres, Chen Jun naturally had nothing else to do and called Tao Lu immediately.

Communicate the situation here simply.

After lunch, all the students boarded the bus under the guidance of some instructors.

Lined up and drove towards Pengcheng.

And the other side.

After Tao Junming received the news that Chen Jun had sent back in advance, he dared not neglect it.

We squeezed out an entire afternoon to clear out a dormitory building in the brigade and arranged for the brigade logistics comrades to clean it in advance, lay out new quilts, and prepare toiletries.

At this time, the Joint Logistics Department of the 71st Army had already moved here, and Tao Junming even specially arranged for someone to go to the joint logistics unit and borrow a large number of green plants from them.

They were placed in the cadres' dormitory, and no matter what, the welcoming work was done quite well.

Even the brigade headquarters canteen, including the canteens of each battalion and company, hung banners.

“Welcome the Zhongpei Practice Group to come and give us your guidance!!”

In preparation for this welcome ceremony, the entire brigade not only poured clean water on the streets but also paved the road with loess.

The specifications are quite good.

Do you think this is exaggerated?
No, no, no, not exaggerating at all.

Tao Junming is not a fool, and no one is a fool.

If these more than 200 students from Zhongpei were placed in the National Defense University, they would be a group of students without a say.

They are a bunch of submissive little sheep.

Once they leave the National Defense University, it is no exaggeration to say that this group of people will be a scourge no matter where they go.

Who is so easily neglected?

Just because they give face to Chen Jun doesn't mean they will give face to other people after they get out.

In the final analysis, they are all the first batch of talented generals selected from major war zones.

The potential and positions of these people are no joke.

Especially when they are gathered together.
