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

Chapter 598: Carrying a heavy load on your shoulders and traveling thousands of miles

Reception Department of the Tibetan Military Region.

Chen Jun is now free from his official duties. He has lived here for two days and there is nothing he needs to deal with.

He lost his position but only retained his military rank, and every day he would wander around the military region with his wife and children.

Occasionally, Ming Panchao, the former political commissar of the Linzhi Military Sub-district and now the deputy political commissar of the Tibet Military Region, would come over to chat with him.

These are the connections I have made over the past few years on the border.

Fortunately, this was not the first time that Chen Jun had encountered a situation where his military rank was left vacant and his position was pending, so he was not too anxious.

Only occasionally when I was strolling outside, I looked up at the clear blue sky on the border side. There were no clouds in the sky, and occasionally a few birds flew by.

It is often said that hell and heaven are often the closest to each other, and this is absolutely true.

During his six years of border defense, Chen Jun suffered a lot, but deep down, he really fell in love with this place.

There are endless legends here, simple herdsmen, endless defense lines, and simple and kind border guards.

After six years away from the mainland, many things in the old unit have changed, but the border defense has developed slowly, and he settled down late, so this is the only place he is most familiar with.

This is not.

Chen Jun took his wife and children to have lunch and strolled in the backyard of the military region’s reception department to digest the food.

Li Haiyao saw Chen Jun staring at the snow-capped mountains in the distance in a daze. She sighed, and she knew in her heart that several years of border life had firmly tied her husband to this place.

There is no problem in continuing to return to the East War, but it does not mean that Chen Jun will be happy or adapt.

Li Haiyao hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved to Li Wujie who was following behind him from a distance. He then pulled little Chen Ao over and whispered, "Xiao Ao, go play with Uncle Xiao Wu, okay?"

"I want to talk to Dad about something."

"Okay."

Chen Ao is a very outgoing person, and he won't be shy as long as someone he knows takes him out to play.

He immediately ran and jumped, pulling Li Wujie along and running wildly into the distance.

Li Haiyao had a faint smile on her face. She watched her son run away with gentle eyes. Then she turned around and walked to Chen Jun, holding his hand and whispering, "You're reluctant to leave, right?"

"Um?!"

Chen Jun came back to his senses when he heard the noise beside him. He turned around to look at the child who had already run away, then looked at his wife beside him, smiled and shook his head: "Yes, a little bit."

"How can you say that you have a little?" Li Haiyao's smile did not fade. She held Chen Jun's arm with one hand and used the other hand to smooth her hair. "If I let you go back to Dongzhan, is there any unit you would like to go to?"

As a member of the Li family, Li Haiyao knew some of the situation. Their family had deep roots in the west and south, and their descendants were also concentrated in these two places.

There are almost none in the East. According to her ideas and the connections Chen Jun had accumulated in the past, returning to the East is actually the best choice.

not to mention.

The parents and the kindergarten where the children go to school are all there, and the welfare housing allocated by the unit is also there.

It seemed that everything was urging Chen Jun to go back quickly and report to the unit as scheduled.

But Li Haiyao is not a fool. She always feels that the West kept them here this time and the old man came rushing over, there seemed to be some reasons involved that she could not understand.

At least, if the Kyoto transfer order did not have actual authorization, even Commander-in-Chief Qi would not rashly deduct the money.

After thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was not like a game, but more like avoiding someone.

But no matter how smart Li Haiyao is, she can only guess; she can't think that far ahead at all.

Faced with the previous question, Chen Jun looked up and thought about it carefully, but he still had no clue.

Where else could he want to work for other than a front-line company?

But is there a place for him in the first line?
The 179th Brigade is now a benchmark brigade among heavy armored brigades. Except for cadres at the battalion level and above who still know him, many veterans of that time are no longer in the unit.

Lian Ji Tong, that old bastard, has been appointed as the brigade commander of the 236th Brigade. Is there any way for him to go back like this?

Just as Chen Jun was thinking seriously, Deputy Political Commissar Ming strode over from a distance, before anyone could reach him.

A hearty voice came over.

"Old Chen!!!"

"Oh, why are you wandering here? I went to your room but couldn't find you. If Xiao Wu hadn't told me you were here, I would have notified the guards to look for you everywhere."

Ming Panchao waved his hand, put his hands on his hips and smiled.

Chen Jun and Li Haiyao heard the noise and stood at attention side by side. Just as they were about to salute, Deputy Political Commissar Ming, who had just put his hands on his waist and took a breath, waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop doing those empty things."

"Hurry back to your room, change into your regular clothes, and come with me to the auditorium. Everyone is waiting for you."

hall?

When Chen Jun heard that he had to change into regular clothes, he was really not used to it. After so many years in Linzhi, the number of times he had worn regular clothes could be counted on three fingers.

"Commissar, are you changing into your regular uniform?"

"Hey, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up."

Ming Panchao pushed Chen Jun towards the reception building, and Li Haiyao followed behind thoughtfully.

After Chen Jun went upstairs alone, she looked at Ming Panchao who was standing downstairs and asked, "Are you going to the auditorium to get promoted?"

"Well, the comrades from the military district have already arranged the scene."

Ming Panchao nodded slightly.

With just this one response, Li Haiyao completely understood what was going on.

Chen Jun is currently a colonel at the regimental level. If he is promoted again, he will be a major colonel at the deputy division level. According to the procedures, if he does not have the approval and seal from the headquarters, even the theater of war will not have the authority to approve his promotion to the rank of major colonel.

Not to mention that the Snow District Military District is just a military district under the war zone and has even less authority.

Being able to be promoted here means that the headquarters has approved it.

Even the documents have been sent down here, and the military district will hold the ceremony.

There are rules for awarding the rank of major general. In the western territory, the subordinate military region held a promotion ceremony, which means that there is an 80% chance that Chen Jun will be a member of this side in the future.

The Eastern War was eventually intercepted.

After figuring out the reason, Li Haiyao smiled. She really didn't know what to say.

She had heard about Chen Jun's transfer, as well as Political Commissar Dai of National Defense and Dong Zhan's slamming the table with the old man.

Now there is such a thing again, it is obvious that the headquarters and Xizhan have discussed it long ago. The old man rushed over in a hurry, probably to buy time for some people who want to slam the table again.

After all, no one would come over and interfere when they see the old man is angry, but when they really want to interfere.

All arrangements have been finalized.

The so-called anger, heading straight from Kyoto to Tianfu, was all for show.

After roughly figuring out what was going on, Li Haiyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The old guys were playing even more complicated games than them, the young people.

"Why, Deputy Political Commissar Ming?"

Li Haiyao spoke curiously.

Ming Panchao understood what Li Haiyao meant when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he responded, "I can't explain it clearly even if you ask me to."

"But the promotion ceremony is held here. I know a little bit about it. Chen Jun is involved in border defense construction in the 353rd Regiment and is doing a very good job."

"The 50,000 border guards are mostly from the Anti-Japanese University and the Border Academy. That's what the higher-ups mean."

"Let Chen Jun continue to take over the border defense construction."

"There is more than one 353rd Regiment for border defense, and more than one Linzhi."

"Carrying a heavy load on your shoulders and traveling thousands of miles, this is the follow-up plan given to Chen Jun by the higher-ups."

Carry a thousand-pound load on your shoulders and travel thousands of miles.

After Li Haiyao pondered over this sentence, she was stunned on the spot. She understood. This path must be the path that Grandpa had set for Chen Jun. As long as he gritted his teeth and kept going, there was still a long way to go in the future.

Military reform lays the foundation for investment in border defense construction. This road cannot be taken too short, and the future achievements will definitely not be low.

Only an old man could have such courage and planning.

. . . . . . .

Li Haiyao and Ming Panchao were standing downstairs waiting. Originally, the two could still chat calmly.

They were chatting idly, but when Chen Jun came down from upstairs wearing a 21-style uniform.

Deputy Political Commissar Ming saw the medals on the other party’s chest, which were previously service badges. There were six rows of colorful medals, and the yellow first-class, second-class, and third-class individual medals alone filled three rows.

Add in the military service badge and the position badge, and that guy has a lot of them listed down.

Deputy Political Commissar Ming was stunned. He had originally wanted to wait for Chen Jun to come over. He had to play the role of host and take Chen Jun to the auditorium.

Now I don't have any thoughts at all.

Damn it, he only has four rows of medals as a full division commander, and Chen Jun has six rows as a full regiment commander. So when he is promoted to deputy division commander, won’t it have to be seven rows?
"Fuck, follow."

Deputy Political Commissar Ming muttered unhappily and turned to leave first.

Li Haiyao covered her mouth and chuckled, and Chen Jun was also a little embarrassed.

After all, I haven't worn regular uniforms for several years. The service badges and the styles of regular uniforms have been updated, and it was a little difficult to get used to them for a while.

"Let's go, let's not worry about him."

Li Haiyao stepped forward and held Chen Jun's arm, with a look of pride on her face, and the two of them followed him to the auditorium together.

The Tibetan Military Region does attach great importance to this promotion. After all, the 353rd Regiment is also a unit under their jurisdiction.

After working so hard in the group for six years, how could you not get this much treatment?

The auditoriums in the military region are all dominated by white, but today the Joint Logistics Department has invested a lot of money to decorate the entire auditorium to be both solemn and luxurious.

On the banner directly in front, the banners for the Western Theater Command’s promotion ceremony were hung higher than usual.

The red background with golden characters sparkles brightly.

On both sides of the auditorium, people from the military region, military sub-district, and the subordinate regiments filled half of the auditorium.

The crowd stood on both sides of the aisle, thinking of giving the famous Captain Chen a surprise.

But what everyone didn't expect was that there was no surprise. When Chen Jun was wearing a medal on his chest, Deputy Political Commissar Ming walked into the auditorium with a gloomy face.

As soon as the applause started, everyone's expressions changed. Some people continued to clap their hands vigorously with red faces. They were cadres from the 353rd Regiment or the Linzhi Military Sub-district who were familiar with Chen Jun.

Some people's faces looked as if they had suddenly swallowed a nest of flies with shit on their legs, which was so disgusting.

Damn, six rows of medals.

Before the service badges were changed, the number of rows was linked to the level and could be very rich, but generally there would not be that many rows.

Now that the new version of the medal has been replaced, as long as you have the qualifications and have made contributions, you can wear it at will. Chen Jun is also honest. Although the contributions he had made in the past were not of much help after he graduated and became an officer,

But at this moment, he became the most dazzling focus of the whole audience.

In the crowd, there were many group leaders who were also wearing casual uniforms. They turned half of their bodies slightly away, with a somewhat unnatural look on their faces.

Damn it, being at the same promotion meeting with people like Chen Jun, even if they are just spectators, even if everyone is a spectator.

It's really not a good thing at all, it's really discouraging.

Even the head of the Tibetan military region twitched his mouth, he was only in the sixth row.

After the promotion, Chen Jun had more medals than him.

No wonder.

No wonder the East War and the West War almost broke out because of this young man. Before that, Chen Jun was trapped in the group and was inconspicuous.

Now that he has stepped out of the stage, he is still the youngest and most dazzling young man in the East War back then.

Chen Jun didn't pay attention to the fluctuating applause around him. He still walked to the front row of the auditorium at his own pace and watched the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the military region all arrive.

He stood at attention and raised his hand to salute!!
Six years of border defense career did not diminish his fighting spirit, but made him more stable.

Now standing in the auditorium, he is still the same as he was back then, like a javelin rooted in the ground, his masculinity and sharpness are undoubtedly revealed.

Bang bang bang.
This time the applause came after the shock, and it was full of heartfelt blessings.

The sound almost blew off the dome of the auditorium.

The ceremony officially began. All the participants stood at attention and sang the national anthem together. The solemn and powerful singing echoed in the auditorium.

Li Haiyao, who was in the audience, was wiping tears with the back of her hand while watching Chen Jun accept the promotion with a big smile on her face.

Receive the big red certificate.

I watched his military rank rise from colonel with two bars and three ranks to major general with two bars and four ranks.

Looking at the national flags on both sides of the auditorium, I felt the blessings from my comrades and leaders around me.

Chen Jun instantly felt a raging fire filling his entire chest.

Just now when he went upstairs to change his clothes, he was not aware that Deputy Political Commissar Ming had revealed his future arrangements. Even Chen Jun himself did not know where he would be put next.

But it doesn't matter.

He is 31 years old this year, and from this moment on he shoulders the responsibilities of a colonel.

Chen Jun knew that there would be many more challenges waiting for him in the future.

Otherwise, the higher-ups would not have held a promotion ceremony for him in the Tibetan military region for no reason.

How many officers have joined the military, only to be stuck at this stage, unable to make any progress.

Now he has come to this point.

. . . . . . . .

Just as the Tibetan Military Region was holding a promotion ceremony, Shen Hongwei, who was determined to bring Chen Jun back to the East War, also arrived in Tianfu at the same time.

As the saying goes, old kids, old kids. Six years ago, the headquarters took away their talents for no reason.

Lao Qin at the Army Headquarters is the old man's disciple, and he doesn't have the courage to go to the old man and slam the table.

But others may be afraid, but Shen Hongwei is not. Six years ago, he went to Kyoto to have a fight about this matter, but he didn't win.

Today, six years later, he is about to retire and is planning to win the argument this time.

No matter what, we must protect our good talents for the Eastern War.

Old man Shen came prepared this time. In order to increase his bargaining chips, he also brought Chai Yansong, who was best at quarreling, to help.

The purpose is to win back this pride and take Chen Jun away.

result.

The two got off the special plane and were received by a special person and ran to the conference room.

The expected scene of quarreling until everyone's faces turned red and their necks became thick did not appear. Instead, Li Zhenhua was seen standing next to the southern Xinjiang border map with his hands behind his back, examining it carefully and meticulously.

Qi Dongshan, the instigator of the kidnapping, was accompanying them calmly, followed by a group of Xizhan cadres.

That guy, the atmosphere was so joyful.

Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong walked to the door of the conference room and looked at each other. They both realized that something was wrong.

be cheated.

The old man from Kyoto rushed over here two days ago, but it might have been an illusion.

They were all blinded.
