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

Chapter 599: Always on the Road (Finale)

Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong looked at each other and understood the meaning from each other's eyes.

The two of them were fooled by the old man.

Without any regret for losing a talent, nor with any anger for being fooled, Shen Hongwei straightened his uniform, snorted coldly, and strode into the meeting room with his head held high.

The loser does not lose the formation.

A few old comrades have been bickering with each other for most of their lives and are already in their eighties. What is there to be unhappy about?

But I have to say that we have to collect the interest from training a talent in the East War, and we can't just send this person to the West for nothing, right?
"Yo!!"

In the conference room, Qi Dongshan heard the noise coming from the door. He pretended to be surprised, pushed away the cadre next to him, and walked to the door with a surprised look on his face.

"Lao Shen, Lao Chai, what a rare guest!!"

Qi Dongshan smiled brightly.

Faced with his old friend coming towards him, Shen Hongwei didn't give him any face at all. He pushed away the hands that were coming towards him and snorted coldly again.

He sat down on a chair nearby with a rather cool look on his face.

Instead, Chai Yansong laughed and shook hands with Qi Dongshan. After all, he was the political commissar.

As long-time partners, they have already developed enough tacit understanding.

While Shen Hongwei was causing trouble in the front, Political Commissar Chai was backing him up and confronting the superiors, trying to make his partner's behavior appear reasonable and legal, without any fault to be found.

Although Qi Dongshan was not a superior, and the three of them were on the same level, Chai Yansong still cursed in a low voice after shaking hands: "Old Qi, you didn't do a good job on this."

"You sneaked into Chencang and stole Old Shen's beloved girl like this?"

"Your formalism is too despicable."

"Hey!"

Qi Dongshan's face turned dark. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the West.

The two old men came over and didn't buy into anything. They just turned their faces and ignored people.

The other one was polite indeed, but in fact he criticized himself for seeking fame and effort.

It was just this group of old comrades. If anyone else dared to say that to him, Big Ear would probably hit him right away.

"Okay, I figured it out. You and Old Shen are here to call for punishment."

Qi Dongshan's eyes were wide open.

As a result, Chai Yansong didn't buy his tricks at all. He just put his hands behind his back and sneered: "Why? I came all the way from Jinling to Tianfu. Could it be that I came here just to see you?"

Watching two old men bickering.

The group of cadres gathered in the conference room felt their scalps tightening. They slipped away faster than each other and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Those who were more considerate did not forget to close the door of the conference room before leaving.

In the huge conference room, only Li Zhenhua, Qi Dongshan, Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong were left. Even the chief of staff of the Western Region, Li Hongtao, jumped out.

After all, they are not on the same level. Not only can he not get a word in by standing there, but in the end, when the scolding got out of hand, no one dared to scold the old man, and maybe he, the junior, would have to take the blame.

Only a fool would stay.

The calmest person in the entire conference room would be Western Political Commissar Fang Yuhua, who has been a good guy for most of his life and has a mild temper. He was sitting leisurely aside, drinking tea and watching the fun happily.

Seeing that the younger generation had left, Shen Hongwei glanced at the old man who was still standing next to the map of Southern Xinjiang. He straightened his back and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Brother Li, this is not a fair thing to do."

"Before the headquarters wanted to transfer Chen Jun, I didn't say anything. They said it was to gain experience, and I agreed."

"Now that I've practiced this, I should be given back to you, right?"

"Did I say I wouldn't return it?"

Li Zhenhua casually placed the marker in his hand on the rock slab under the map. He clapped his hands, turned around, and looked at Shen Hongwei calmly.

"I've been here for the past two days, waiting for you, waiting for your attitude towards Dong Zhan. Where are you?"

"Qi Dongshan said he would detain the person, but you, Shen Hongwei, keep saying he is your man, so where is your man?"

"Is the distance between Jinling and Tianfu even farther than that between Kyoto and Tianfu?"

"I"

Shen Hongwei was speechless after being asked.

Just now Chai Yansong scolded Qi Dongshan, which helped him to gain a foothold and gain the confidence to bring charges.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhenhua pushed the responsibility back with just a few words and blamed them for not being proactive.

Everyone present knew that the old man was playing tricks.

After all, the old man was angry in the office at the time, and the news could not be concealed.

No matter who makes the judgment at that time, the old man will go straight to Tianfu to take the person away, and the distribution will be discussed after arriving in Kyoto.

But who would have thought that after people came to Tianfu, there was no movement.

Shen Hongwei couldn't sit still, so he ran over.

But he dared to admit that he didn't come here before because he was weighing the pros and cons?
He dare not.

Because if I admit this, I won’t have the confidence to snatch people away anymore.

Seeing his old partner stumped by the question, Chai Yansong laughed dryly, walked over to Li Zhenhua and pulled out a chair next to the conference table: "Brother, sit down."

After inviting Li Zhenhua to sit down, he also sat aside.

"It's not a bad thing for Chen Jun to stay in the West, but considering the current development, it's better for him to go to the East."

"They need high-end commanding talents there. The East China Sea military exercise is a big deal. An officer like Chen Jun who is good at fighting and leading troops should go there to give full play to his strengths."

"Humph, bullshit."

Listening to Chai Yansong sitting there and making big promises, the old man didn't say anything, but Qi Dongshan couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked on the conference table to protest: "Old Chai, don't stand and talk without hurting your waist."

"Your military exercise is a big deal, and my border defense construction is not a small matter. I am not afraid to tell you."

"Chen Jun has been promoted in the Tibetan Military Region and will soon report to the Southern Xinjiang Military Region. Border defense is more important than anything else."

"The important task of building the border defense is going to be handed over to kid Chen. Brother Li said that he should shoulder the heavy responsibility and walk thousands of miles along the line. He should firmly regard the construction of the border defense as his mission to continue."

"Can you give me this condition?"

Qi Dongshan's words were so powerful that Chai Yansong opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

As the country becomes more prosperous, border defense construction is a major policy formulated by the headquarters. Those who shoulder this responsibility will definitely have a place in the future.

This is a macro-mission. Although the East China Sea military exercise is of epoch-making significance, it still requires various considerations, including interests and long-term development.

That military exercise cannot be won just by launching it.

In comparison, border defense construction is a down-to-earth contribution, and it is also a contribution that cannot be erased.

In this regard, the old man thought further than them.

After figuring out the follow-up arrangements, Shen Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief. He had known when he came that this man was not going to leave.

The headquarters and the Western War put on such a big show just to keep this person and scare away all those who covet him.

Now that the plan has been put forward, the matter is done and the overall situation has been decided, there is no point in arguing.

Li Zhenhua saw that the atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat tense. Several old comrades were too depressed because of the quarrel over the robbery.

He simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, let Chen Jun make his own choice as to whether to stay or go."

"Hongwei, do you have any objections now?"

Seeing the old man staring at him, Shen Hongwei quickly said, "No, Brother Li, I won't interfere with your plans."

"Just stay."

What else could he say? He didn't know what was going on before he came here. If he had known earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.

"Then it's settled. Wait for Chen Jun to come over and ask for his opinion."

Li Zhenhua finally made the final decision.

He is not someone who is easy to talk to, and he is not someone who will easily change his plans.

Instead, he wanted to understand his grandson-in-law and what his future path should be. After six years of border defense, he would eventually figure it out.

At least I have my own answer in my heart. Having a plan and an answer is the most basic thing to move forward in the future.

After reaching a consensus, the old men began to discuss the guidelines for border defense construction.

With these people giving advice and paving the way for the future, Chen Jun, not to mention that he has good abilities, even if he is a pig, he will not fly too low.

. . . . . . . .

After Chen Jun accepted the promotion in the auditorium of the Tibetan Military District, the military district immediately arranged for him to be escorted by a helicopter directly to Tianfu.

This was originally the plan made by Xizhan.

After arriving at the Tianfu headquarters, Chen Jun, wearing casual clothes, came to the door of the conference room under the guidance of the guards.

He didn't even need to knock on the door. The guard knocked twice and then pushed it open, indicating that Chen Jun could go in.

He was not the shy type, so after nodding his head to express his gratitude, he strode into the meeting room.

As soon as he walked into the room, he looked up and saw five leaders of the Yimaisan group, staring at him with scorching eyes.

Even though Chen Jun was mentally prepared, he was still shocked at this moment.

He hurriedly took a few quick steps, came to a position two meters away from the conference table, stood at attention and saluted! !
"Hello, Chief!!"

Looking at this young man, who has now grown into a master of the art of architecture, the old men had different expressions on their faces.

Shen Hongwei sighed. He had just figured out the problem, but after meeting the real person, he still felt a little regretful. Such a good seedling was taken away just like that.

I feel a little bit unhappy.

Chai Yansong smiled and nodded. It was hard to tell from his expression whether he was regretful or happy. He was definitely an old fox.

The happiest person would be Qi Dongshan. Border defense construction is a major project. Now that there is a suitable young man to take over, how can he not be happy?

The old man's eyes swept across the faces of several old comrades, and then looked at Chen Jun, and said in a low voice: "Chen Jun."

"arrive!!"

"Regarding your future work, I would like to ask for your personal opinion."

"Dong Zhan hopes that you will return to your old unit. What do you think?"

There was no expectation in Li Zhenhua's tone, just a very calm inquiry.

The other old men stopped arguing at this time. They all leaned back in their seats and looked at him calmly.

After all, it’s okay for old friends to argue in private, but when the younger generation is around, they still have to put on airs.

Chen Jun felt the pressure at the scene. After hesitating for a moment, he saluted Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong and said, "Thank you for your cultivation. I will never forget it."

“But, I want to stay in the West.”

"reason."

The old man's tone remained calm.

"Sir, I have no reason, if you must."

"I can only say that I have been to the border, and I have seen many soldiers in a state of combat all year round, with both the enemy and us wanting to destroy the other side."

"It is very common for them to sneak up on the enemy posts and launch surprise attacks at any time. The task of counterattack is very difficult. Although things have improved now, we still need to frequently track them, set ambushes, patrol and be on guard."

"Every time the soldiers went out, they had to carry heavy weapons, ammunition, dry food, staple and non-staple food, firewood, etc. to kill the enemy."

"If we encounter the enemy, it is common to march across the snow-capped mountains."

"It's too cold at the border. The cotton-padded clothes, leather coats and fur shoes I'm wearing are too bulky. The strain on my body is beyond imagination."

"Even in this environment, the comrades have never complained, but for the border defense, the most lethal force is not the evil enemies."

“It’s not the natural conditions that are considered off-limits to humans, but loneliness, solitude, and unexpected disasters that come without our awareness.”

"Due to long-term isolation and lack of communication with the outside world, most comrades know nothing about the outside world. When I was on patrol, I saw many soldiers younger than me who became less talkative and their personalities gradually became old-fashioned and irritable because of the environment."

"There may even be confusion in thinking logic and degeneration of language function."

"I have seen more than once the veteran border guards huddled in a corner, stroking the letters from home over and over again. This is their only comfort."

"I have seen more than once that at outposts with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters, comrades hold a pot of artificial flowers bought from the market at the foot of the mountain and treat them as treasures."

"When the sun comes out, the comrades will take out the artificial flowers to bask in the sun. When it gets dark, someone will carefully carry the flower pots back to the dormitory."

"Due to a storm, the leaves and petals of the artificial flowers were blown away, and many soldiers cried."

"No matter how many fake flowers I buy and send to the front-line posts, it won't smooth over these facts."

"Nowadays, border defense is getting better and better, but many objective reasons are still there and have not been resolved."

"So, Commander, I apply to stay. I don't want to leave here with regrets, otherwise I would be no different from a deserter."

"When I first joined the 353rd Regiment, I spent half a year proving that I was not just a gilded figure. I know there are many places that are similar to the 353rd Regiment, and some are even inferior overall."

"Commander, I'm sorry."

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he saluted Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong again.

These two people suddenly came here, and you can guess why even if you use your toes to think about it.

Shen Hongwei nodded without responding. He knew the situation at the border.

It is not uncommon for a person to be a border guard for life.

This is the highest virtue a soldier can possess.

What's more, this young man is affectionate and righteous, what else can he say?

Chai Yansong stood up and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder, smiling and encouraging him: "Okay, there's nothing to be sorry about, you have to walk your own path."

"Now that you are mentally prepared, go ahead with determination."

"Come on kid."

"Yes!!!"

The old man never spoke another word from beginning to end. He just handed Chen Jun a transfer letter and arranged for a personal guard to take him to southern Xinjiang to take up his post.

After Chen Jun saluted again, he turned around and strode out of the meeting room.

This time, he will go to the Ali Military Sub-district in southern Xinjiang and serve as deputy commander.

Building border defense is not just empty talk. If you want to build it, you must first understand it.

Several old men walked to the door of the conference room and watched Chen Jun leave without saying a word.

Because Chen Jun had just finished speaking.

The construction project is always on the way.

. . . . . . . . . . .

ten years.

Chen Jun's footsteps have covered Kashgar, Ali, Hotan, Aksu, Bayin, and Kelesu military sub-districts.

His position was also promoted from deputy commander of the military sub-district to commander.

He was eventually transferred back to southern Xinjiang to serve as chief of staff of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region.

At the age of 46, he rushed to Kyoto and was awarded the title of Yi Mai Yi and served as the commander-in-chief of the military zone.

As mentioned at the beginning, the border defense construction project is always on the way.

Keep moving forward.

Years later.

Chen Jun's temples are already gray, but his body is still straight. He stands at Tianmen, in charge of reviewing the opening ceremony.

Facing the grand scene of Tianmen with surging crowds of people.

Facing the attention from all over the world, Chen Jun gave the order in a deep and majestic voice.

"Distributed!"

"start!!"
