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

Chapter 539 Farewell, do you still want to retire?
Faced with the depressing atmosphere at the party and his comrades with red eyes, Chen Jun didn't know what to say to comfort them.

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. All sacrifices are the same, they are all silent.

He doesn't want to leave either.

It was not easy to stay in the 179th Brigade for two years.

The motorized infantry brigade at that time was rebuilt step by step and has become the invincible heavy armored brigade today. Only a fool would want to leave.

Chen Jun is not a saint, not that noble. He is the same as other veterans, just as vulgar.

He has the same joys, sorrows, anger and happiness as ordinary people. When he makes achievements and receives awards, he will feel very happy, and then he will immediately straighten his back and pretend to be reserved.

When he saw a pretty girl, he would think about how to marry her. When he was promoted to the regular battalion, he would often go to the brigade housing department to inquire about housing allocation.

He would occasionally act like a scoundrel or lecture the cadres there, but apart from regular classes, there was no time when he would not throw a tantrum.

In the 179th Brigade, he had fought hard, experienced glory, and naturally also experienced misery.

When leaving this time, Chen Jun knew very well that everything in the brigade would remain the same as before, and all the soldiers would take over the guns in his hands, continue fighting, and move forward fiercely.

Report to the Training Department, which is a staff department and is considered to be in the field combat sequence, but not on the front line of the field combat.

The workload there would not be very demanding, at least not like the past six months, when Chen Jun had to get up at five in the morning every day for the heavy equipment training of the various battalions.

If you go there, you will definitely be able to have a comfortable late sleep.

From now on, I will no longer have to endure a group of battalion commanders who surround me and complain about a bunch of problems that cannot be solved all day long. I can put them aside openly when I go to the training department.

There is no need to worry about training and assessment issues within the brigade. The work of the headquarters department is definitely much easier than that of the front-line troops.

But I just can’t bear to leave.

All the benefits were right in front of us, but in the end, they could not outweigh the reluctant looks on the faces of a group of cadres before they left.

Chen Jun took out beer and clinked glasses with many cadres. There was too little beer, not enough to drink, so he just took a sip each time.

But he talks a lot.

When talking to Fatty He, Chen Jun urged him to arrange a review as soon as possible, including not making any changes to Li Wujie's placement.

When he reported to the training department, he was alone in the new department and was unfamiliar with the place. He would definitely have to transfer this guy over later, mainly to make it easier for him to work.

As for the commander of the combined battalion, Wang Chenyang, Chen Jun simply told him to take over as soon as possible and get familiar with the 1st Battalion, which was the only second-class merit battalion in the entire brigade.

As for the second battalion commander Zhao Ziheng, Chen Jun could give him few instructions, because, after all, Old Zhao was still his battalion commander.

But Lao Zhao will be 40 next year and must be transferred to civilian work. Generally speaking, in such cases, the brigade will arrange Lao Zhao to an idle department half a year in advance and wait for his transfer.

If Chen Jun's guess is correct, after returning from Chebarku this time, it will probably take less than two months for the brigade to transfer Lao Zhao to the logistics or personnel department.

While the battalions have already taken shape, new cadres should be trained as soon as possible to take over, including the commander of the third battalion, Ma Hongjie. This veteran was promoted to officer. He was a company commander two years ago and has now been promoted to battalion commander.

I will also change my career in the next two years.

But Lao Ma is a little better. He is younger than Zhao Ziheng and can last two more years.

The fourth battalion commander Qi Shaoxiang is much younger, so it is not Chen Jun's turn to worry about him.

At the end of the party, Chen Jun just reminded the battalion commander of the logistics battalion, Liang Kexiang, to learn more about logistics and lead the logistics battalion well.

After all, this operation was not obvious and the logistical transportation capabilities were basically not used.

But we cannot ignore the fact that the logistical requirements of heavy equipment are more terrifying than before.

How much firepower the entire brigade can exert, apart from calling for support from the air force and navy, the logistics transportation and supply capabilities directly determine the combat effectiveness of the entire brigade.

This is not a joke.

The party lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening. The excitement of winning the battle and the sadness of impending farewell made many people's eyes red.

But those who should leave must still leave.

. . . . . . . . .

It was around five in the morning of April 4th.

It was still dark in Chebarku when the Z-8G arranged by the Joint Directorate arrived at the A17 apron.

Chen Jun took the packed backpack from the tent and put it on his back, along with Li Haiyao, and neither of them disturbed anyone.

He walked quietly towards the helicopter, ready to return home.

Looking at Chen Jun, he turned back every three or five steps, looking reluctantly at the neatly parked, endless chariots in the night, and the tents faintly stationed in the distance in the night.

Li Haiyao sighed softly.

She had never been to a field army unit before, and only stayed in the front-line troops after meeting Chen Jun in the 179th Brigade.

The work here is very tiring, especially at this critical juncture when we are facing constant military reform and reorganization. From soldiers to cadres, there is almost no time to rest.

In more than a year, she worked late and grew a lot of white hair, but Li Haiyao was also reluctant to leave.

Therefore, she understood better Chen Jun's feelings as he built up the 179th Brigade bit by bit but now had to leave.

Just as they both walked to the helipad and were about to board the helicopter, Li Haiyao suddenly saw Chen Jun pause, staring blankly at the camp in the distance.

After realizing something was wrong, she also looked in the direction Chen Jun was looking.

Just one glance and Li Haiyao was also stunned.

Because I don’t know what time it is, the barracks in the distance, which are obviously very quiet, have not yet reached the wake-up time.

The soldiers from each camp put on their clothes, and one veteran after another walked out of the barracks silently.

One person, ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people
It was clearly a dark night, but the darkness could not block the glowing flames, nor could it block the figures of thousands of soldiers in green military uniforms with red star flags on their chests.

I thought no one would come to see me off, but unexpectedly, no one from the entire brigade was left behind.

The soldiers in the distance just watched silently, bidding farewell to the chief of staff silently.

That night, all the soldiers knew that Chief of Staff Chen did not sleep at all. The night before he left, he patrolled the camp all night in the strong wind of Chebarku.

After looking at all the tents in the camps and the equipment of each camp, he said goodbye to all the soldiers. How could the veterans of the brigade not come to see him off when he was leaving?

In the past, Chief of Staff Chen might not have been very important in the eyes of all the soldiers in the brigade. At most, he was just a brigade chief of staff.

But after the reorganization began, as long as the soldiers in each battalion were not blind, they knew better than anyone who was the first to get up every day, the first to arrive at the training ground, and who was the first to supervise the training at the grassroots level every day without fail.

Although the soldiers suffered a lot during the process due to the simulated combat situations and various training arrangements, they also scolded him a lot.

But no matter how much they curse, they know best who is the most responsible and who is the most conscientious.

In this multinational military exercise, the 179th Brigade defeated the Russian Mechanized Brigade with almost no effort.

The Russian troops were completely routed before they even deployed their troops. With this result, who can erase the hard work Chief of Staff Chen put in over the past six months?
This is the reputation and merit gained through fighting.

Soldiers are martial artists, so how can we not admire such a chief of staff?

Brush brush brush.
The crowd in the distance didn't know who took the lead in saluting, but countless soldiers stood at attention and saluted meticulously towards the tarmac.

The propaganda officer of the brigade spontaneously filmed this scene, and asked the heavy armored brigade to make a promotional video.

No other promotional video has this scene, which better demonstrates the invincible spirit of the field army.

Chen Jun looked at the soldiers in the distance. He stared slightly, then retracted his steps towards the cabin and turned to face the camp.

Stand at attention, raise your hand to salute, turn your body slowly, and return the salute one by one.

Then, he stepped into the cabin without looking back.

Rumble.
The helicopter slowly took off, turned sideways and headed straight for the border.

Li Haiyao could also see through the window the soldiers standing on the ground, still maintaining the salute posture and looking up at the helicopter taking off.

It was getting farther and farther away until it left the Chebarku base. Two armed helicopter squadrons were dispatched one after another and surrounded the Z-8G in the middle.

Li Haiyao withdrew her gaze, reached out and held Chen Jun's hand, shaking it gently.

Chen Jun sensed Li Haiyao's worry, and then he smiled and whispered: "It's okay, let's go back."

"Ah."

"By the way, I have two things to tell you."

Li Haiyao tapped her chin lightly, then took out a document from her backpack.

"This is the transfer order faxed over by the military region last night, asking me to report to the Jinling Northern Information Control Research Institute."

"Jinling Research Institute?"

Chen Jun took the transfer order from Li Haiyao and took a quick look at it.

In fact, the so-called transfer order is just a certificate of reporting. It is not a secret document and does not involve any information about the research institute.

However, Chen Jun has been dealing with synthesis and informatization in the past two years, and has dealt with these research institutes quite a few times.

He only needed to take a look at the registration certificate to basically understand the unit where Li Haiyao would be transferred.

The Northern Information Control Research Institute is only under the jurisdiction of the Jinling Theater Command Headquarters. It is mainly responsible for the military network information system, as well as the Beidou ground-based system enhancement, research and development and other work.

When the 179th Brigade was just formed into a combined brigade, this research institute arranged a number of people to come and command the construction of signal base stations.

There is a branch of the research institute in the military district, which is not far from the brigade.

But there is no doubt that the work here will be much easier. At least for someone like Li Haiyao who majored in statistics, working in this institute is more than ten times easier than working in logistics.

"This is a great place for you to retire."

Chen Jun grinned and said, "Go ahead. The work here is easy and I know where it is."

"I'm going to the training department this time. I may not be busy at work. If there is a Sunday, I can come back."

What Chen Jun said is true.

Although the Theater Training Department is responsible for the exercise planning of the entire theater, as well as the training and integrated reform of various units, it is a large department after all.

No matter how experienced Chen Jun is, he doesn't think he will be as busy as before after he gets there.

After all, there are so many veterans there, and his group probably won’t even be able to make a wave if they get there.

"Then you must come back, because you won't just come back to see me."

Li Haiyao took the document back from Chen Jun with a smile, and then said: "I just found out about it last night."

"My parents and my little sister will also come to the military district family compound today, but don't worry, Political Commissar Pu of the Rong'an Armed Forces Department will arrange for someone to come with them."

"The military district will arrange for an unused house for you to live in, and my sister's schooling will be arranged nearby. It's no problem, just report there without any worries."

Listening to Li Haiyao's slightly boastful narration, Chen Jun was silent for a moment.

In fact, he guessed this would happen.

In this joint military exercise, the performance of the 179th Brigade was too dazzling, and as one of the commanders, he was too young. This potential was bound to be noticed by many people.

Just as the political commissar said, he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to lead the team in overseas military exercises in the future, let alone the opportunity to participate in peacekeeping.

Taking many factors into consideration, it was only a matter of time before his parents were brought from his hometown to join the army.

There is nothing wrong with Chen Jun's idea, and there is nothing wrong with Political Commissar Xu's analysis as a veteran.

It's just that both of them ignored, or were not aware of, another problem at all.

That is Chen Jun’s personal file, which has been uploaded to the "Renaissance Files". It is normal to arrange for his family to accompany the army.

It is precisely because of this file.

Chen Jun thought that he was going to the training department just to retire and hang around in the office, but he was actually overthinking.

His kind of person.

How could the higher-ups possibly provide for his retirement?
