From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 223: Promotion! Commissioner Chen is online

Chen Jun solved the biggest problem of the meeting, and the rest of the things became much easier.

It took less than half an hour in total to arrange all the other tasks of the second phase and set up a special working group.

The team consists of a total of nine staff members.

The team leader is Zhou Huimin, deputy commander of the 702nd Regiment. He is responsible for all the work in the second phase and will report to the commander if there are any problems that cannot be solved.

The deputy team leader is Tang Guozhong, deputy chief of the logistics department, and his task is to serve as the deputy of the team leader Zhou Huimin.

The remaining seven people are all team members, only Chen Jun is a special "specialist".

The reason why he is such a specialist is mainly because Chen Jun's military rank is relatively low and he cannot be assigned a very high position in the group.

For example, assigning a position like deputy team leader, whose status is similar to that of deputy group leader, seems a bit too unusual.

But Chen Jun was the initiator of the establishment of the combined battalion, the author of the plan for the establishment of the combined battalion, and the pioneer of the combined tactics of the 702nd Regiment.

He also needs a higher voice so that he can carry out his work more conveniently.

Therefore, he was specially given the identity of a specialist to be responsible for the preparation and establishment of the combined battalion, thus perfectly avoiding troubles in this regard.

Commissioner Chen is now officially online!
The meeting ended at noon, but Chen Jun didn't even have time to go back to the 7th Steel Company for a look. He immediately went back to work.

After a simple lunch in the group, the working group quickly started working.

"Commissioner Chen, where should we start?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Huimin was very self-aware. He knew very well that Chen Jun was the backbone of the combined battalion and that he was just a figurehead. In reality, he had no ability to control the overall situation, so he sensibly gave the decision-making power to Chen Jun.

"I want to go to the base first and do the acceptance work before the engineers leave. If there are any problems, there is still time to correct them."

While the group army's airborne personnel have not yet arrived, Chen Jun wants to concentrate on the acceptance of the base.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Deputy head Zhou Huimin said nothing and immediately made arrangements: "Officer Liu, go and notify the car team to send three cars over immediately."

"Yes, Team Leader Zhou."

Secretary Liu, a member of the working group, ran out quickly.

soon.

The small car team drove over three off-road military vehicles. In car No. 1 sat the team leader Zhou Huimin, deputy team leader Tang Guozhong, and special specialist Chen Jun.

The remaining six team members rode in the two cars at the back.

The newly built base of the combined battalion was only about 10 kilometers away from the regiment headquarters, and the working group convoy arrived at the scene quickly.

The commander of the engineering company, who had not yet withdrawn from the scene, had received a call in advance and was waiting here.

Led by the commander of the engineering company, the working group first started from the battalion headquarters where the battalion command team was located to inspect whether the construction of various facilities was in place.

The total number of people in the battalion headquarters is just that small, and their main job is to coordinate with other companies.

So the battalion headquarters only built one building.

A three-story military-style corridor building.

The third floor is equivalent to the office area, where the dormitories and personal offices of all the cadres of the battalion are located.

The second floor is a multifunctional media center, which integrates the battalion’s meeting, library, clerical, communication, and vehicle crew dormitory functions.

The first floor is equivalent to the living area of ​​the battalion, equipped with necessary washing and toilet facilities, etc.

In front of the building is a large playground, decorated with some square green plants, a combination of grass and concrete.

Concentrating everything in one building is a feature of the military camp here.

Compared with an ordinary battalion with only a few people in its battalion headquarters, the number of people in a combined battalion headquarters is several times greater, so the headquarters occupies a larger area.

Besides.

There is basically no difference.

In addition, the engineering company was very efficient and did not arrogantly add its own creativity, so the construction of the battalion headquarters was basically based on Chen Jun's plan.

So after a complete inspection, there were no major problems.

The acceptance is considered as passing the customs!
Under the battalion headquarters, the brain of the combined battalion, the most important thing is to connect the various units of the combined battalion, and it can be said to be the second most important engineering support company.

As a super reinforced company with more than 200 people, it is equivalent to two and a half regular companies.

Of the five platoons under the Engineer Support Company, three have reached company-level standards, and even the remaining two require a large area of ​​storage.

Therefore, the company camp of the engineering support company has the largest area in the entire battalion.

It is also the most complicated!
The supply platoon is mainly composed of storage facilities, occupying eighty percent of the barracks, and the remaining area is not much different.

The cooking platoon has a total of three canteens, which can provide meals for three companies at a time.

The combined battalion now has only five companies, and the cooking platoon can guarantee meals for three companies at the same time, which is enough to guarantee the cooking for the entire battalion.

The troops eat quite quickly, and ten minutes is enough for a meal.

The remaining facility is a comprehensive kitchen that can use three large stoves to cook at the same time, allowing three cooking teams to operate at the same time.

There is also a large indoor garage specifically designed to store mobile cooking-related vehicles.

The remaining maintenance platoon, engineering platoon, and medical platoon are similar, and a corresponding series of facilities are built according to the characteristics of each platoon.

Each platoon has its own exclusive facility building, but their living areas are actually the same, and they all live in the same building.

There are two two-story dormitory buildings in total!

Each dormitory building can accommodate more than a hundred people and is equipped with washing and storage rooms, etc. The two dormitory buildings are quite long.

The reason why two two-story dormitory buildings were built instead of one four-story dormitory building.

Because two-story houses are faster to build, the requirements for the ground are not as high, and there is no need to lay a foundation, the construction period can be further shortened.

Again……

The architectural drawings were basically designed according to Chen Jun's plan, and the quality of the troops' houses is well-known to be good, so there are basically no problems.

The subsequent armored company barracks, electronic warfare company and artillery and air defense company also did not have any major problems.

There are only some minor flaws, such as there are not enough toilet pits, the domestic waste landfill is too close, the sewage treatment area needs to be adjusted, etc.

These problems are not very big and can be solved in two or three days.

However, when the working group arrived at the Special Investigation Company, which would be the new camp of the future 7th Steel Company, they stopped here and sat for a long time to discuss.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with the engineering company’s work, but there’s a big problem in the special reconnaissance company’s camp.

But when Chen Jun designed the plan, he did not think of getting a special operations platoon, and he did not expect that when he was in the combined battalion, he would be able to make a small takeoff and have a special forces unit in advance.

Therefore, the special investigation company camp designed by Chen Jun was an extension of the original Steel Seventh Company and could only meet the training and living needs of the Steel Seventh Company.

But now?

Because Chen Jun's plan to recruit talents was too successful, Yuan Lang and Tielu had to be "generous" and recruited 33 "king soldiers" at once.

This is not a standard combat platoon, but a special operations platoon composed of officers. The A Battalion treats the officers as "soldiers", with large dormitories for two people in a room, and luxurious independent bathrooms.

Even in the most undignified training camp, there were four people in a dormitory.

Now this group of officers were lured by the big pie painted by Chen Jun and came to the 7th Steel Company. As an officer, they are also willing to serve as soldiers in the grassroots companies.

If you follow the standards of grassroots troops, you will provide them with dormitories with ten people in one room.

That doesn't make sense at all.

And the most important point is that even if we assume that there are ten people in a dormitory, if a whole platoon suddenly appears, the current special investigation company will not be able to accommodate them.

Not to mention the most critical core, special warfare training is slightly different from ordinary training.

Since Chen Jun wanted to build his own special operations force, even if it was only a platoon in size, he had to train it to the highest standards.

Then there are killing houses, close combat training grounds, outdoor combat centers, special training grounds, and so on.

These training grounds for special combat skills training must be built now, before the engineering company withdraws.

Otherwise, the subsequent redesign and construction will greatly delay the formation of the combined battalion's combat effectiveness.

The commander of the engineering company was also confused by this.

He started construction according to the architectural drawings, and he felt really honored to be able to build the first combined battalion base in the entire army.

He even felt that this might be the most awesome thing he had ever done in his life.

As a result, when it came to acceptance, the company of 100 people became 130 people, and a lot more training grounds had to be built.

This left him helpless!
However, the special investigation company's barracks has been completed, and it is impossible to demolish and rebuild it, so we can only carry out renovations on this basis.

Ever since.

The working group represented by Chen Jun had to immediately go to the temporary camp of the engineering company and hold emergency consultations with the company headquarters.

The discussion lasted from noon to evening and lasted more than four hours.

Two solutions were finally discussed.

The first plan is expansion, that is, to add a platoon configuration to the current specifications of the special reconnaissance company camp.

Then go to the open space around the camp and select appropriate locations to build other training facilities.

The advantage of this solution is that it is faster and can be completed in the shortest possible time without delaying the subsequent movement of personnel.

The disadvantages are also obvious.

That means there may be some hidden dangers later.

Things that have been repaired can indeed be used, but the experience of using them is definitely not as good as brand new ones, and there will inevitably be various problems later.

The camp was designed for 100 people, but it was full when 110 people moved in.

The original number of people in the 7th Steel Company and the company headquarters was basically this number.

Now, after all the repairs and modifications, with nearly 150 people forced to move in, there is no way to ensure that all the details are in place.

For example, are there enough toilet stalls?
Is there enough storage space in the pantry?
Is there enough space for washing and showering?
Can the training ground be expanded?

……

All of these cannot be confirmed now. The problems will only become clear gradually after we actually get into training and use them.

The second option is to build a new one!

It is equivalent to the model of the Earth and the Moon. A new camp will be built next to the special reconnaissance company and specifically provided for use by the special operations platoon.

The two are separate, yet closely connected.

The disadvantage is that it is very time-consuming. According to Chen Jun’s standards, it will take at least one and a half months to build.

After all, the special operations training ground that Chen Jun wanted to build had already confused everyone when they heard about it at the meeting. It was something they had never seen before.

It will definitely take more time to build these facilities that have never been built before.

In addition, they could not start construction in the first few days. They had to wait for Chen Jun to bring out the design drawings before they could officially start construction according to the design drawings.

The estimated construction period of one and a half months is already the extreme limit.

And the cost will increase significantly.

It is unknown whether the army group can get approval and how long it will take to get approval.

The advantage is that it will not affect the deployment of the combined battalion, and all work can be carried out according to the original plan, step by step and in an orderly manner.

This extra special operations platoon can be temporarily placed in the old barracks of the 7th Steel Company.

Once the barracks at the new base is completed, the special operations platoon will be able to move over and seamlessly integrate into the combined battalion system quickly.

Deputy regiment commander Zhou Huimin and the commander of the engineering company both prefer expansion.

This will allow the project to be completed quickly and save more military spending.

Chen Jun could understand their feelings. After all, the second phase of the combined battalion was very critical. Soldiers from the army group to the company were all watching eagerly.

If something unexpected happens at this time, it will take more than a month to build a new camp.

This is really not a good sign!

But Chen Jun also has his own ideas and concerns. He is more inclined to build a new one and spend more time on it now to solve the problem once and for all.

I would rather work hard up front than have trouble later on.

This resulted in two different opinions, and no one could convince the other. This was not a trivial matter and could not be decided lightly.

I thought it was almost time for dinner and I had to go back to the group to have dinner anyway.

So we drove back to the regiment headquarters.

Since they can't decide, let the team leader make the decision.

Team leader Zhou Huimin and specialist Chen Jun went directly to the team leader's office and reported the situations and problems they encountered to Team Leader Wang.

Zhou Huimin thought that Captain Wang would discuss the matter and then make a serious decision.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the situation, Captain Wang decided on the spot to do as Chen Jun said. The overall work remained unchanged and a new camp was built.

He also stated that the costs required for the new construction would be borne entirely by the group.

Even if everyone tightens their belts this month and defers their salaries to next month, they still have to gather the money for building the new special operations platoon camp.

Once the subsequent group army’s application is approved and the money is issued, we will compensate everyone.

Chen Jun's words were so effective that the team leader even spared no effort to support him. Deputy team leader Zhou Huimin was really helpless.

What else can I say?

We could only agree to Chen Jun’s new construction plan.
