Chapter 366: Instructions to the brigade, new challenges
The theater agency has decided to form a second combined battalion.
Shen Hongwei, Chen Huanran and others immediately convened a small meeting and began to discuss the follow-up details.
The brigade-level pilot is not that easy to organize.
Which units should be moved and who should not be moved can not be controlled by just a few words in the war zone.
But with one more synthetic camp, the resistance will not be that great.
Most of the 179th Brigade has been withdrawn and is in the process of being rebuilt. There is also a battalion that has been formed to provide the foundation.
The pilot brigade can only start from them, which is the simplest and most reasonable arrangement.
Over there in the war zone, preparations are being made to form the second battalion.
Chen Jun and the others followed Tao Brigade and returned to the 179th Brigade.
Pengcheng is far from Jinling, and it takes more than three hours just to get back on the road.
By the time they returned to the brigade, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Travel headquarters parking lot.
Tao Junming got off the car. He turned to look at Chen Jun and then at Yang Chuanzhou, who had just arrived today. He grinned and said, "Chen Jun, you are very familiar with Director Yang."
< br>"You can arrange to stay in the brigade or in the camp tonight."
"Think of it as getting familiar with our environment in the past few days. Meetings of theater agencies may continue to be held. I will inform you if necessary."
"Yes, brigade commander!!"
< br>Chen Jun raised his hand to salute, but Tao Junming just waved his hand, then arranged his clothes and walked to the vehicle beside him.
If the brigade commander is not on duty, he will not live in the brigade. He is in a hurry to go home.
After the two watched Tao Lu leave, Yang Chuanzhou picked up his luggage from the back of the sports car.
Chen Junli hesitated for a moment. Before going to Jinling, he heard from Tao Lu that Li Haiyao had come to report.
But I was too busy today and didn’t bother with it.
Now that he has just come back, he is a little unsure whether Li Haiyao has rested.
After all, it is not summer, and the brigade headquarters is not in the camp.
If eight or nine o'clock in the evening were not during war preparations, the camp would not have called the roll call yet, but in the brigade it was almost midnight, and everything was quiet.
Things are different inside the army than outside.
Here, the lower the level of the unit, the more concentrated the number of people. In the higher level unit, after dinner time, there are basically only people on duty.
He hesitated for a moment.
Chen Jun couldn't hold it back in the end. He took out his phone and opened WeChat, found Li Haiyao's number, and sent a message.
Chen Jun: Have you slept?
After sending it out, Chen Jun thought it would have to wait for a while, so he planned to settle Lao Yang first.
As a result, Li Haiyao’s message came over without even turning off the phone screen.
Li Haiyao: "I didn't sleep. Are you back from Jinling?"
Chen Jun: "Well, I just came back and you are in the parking lot now."
Li Haiyao: "Then Just wait for me, I’m going downstairs now.”
Chen Jun: "Okay."
After sending the message, Chen Jun let out a sigh of relief.
He put his cell phone into his pocket, took out a cigarette and threw one to Yang Chuanzhou, seeing that he had almost packed his luggage.
Then I asked the question that had puzzled me all the way back.
"Lao Yang, are you here to stand up for the chief, or are you doing something else?"
Chen Jun also learned from the old man that this time the brigade pilot meeting would establish a headquarters, and the heads of the military headquarters and the theater would come and take charge personally.
Before someone of that level comes to take charge, it is normal to arrange for one or two cadres to stand in front and understand the situation.
But that’s not necessary. I have to stand in front of me to pick up big and small bags. It’s like moving.
The military units are all equipped with daily necessities, and soldiers are not so particular, so they can live in a single dormitory.
Who is like Lao Yang, who can barely support his family.
heard asking.
Yang Chuanzhou put all his luggage on the ground, raised his hand and patted his suitcase: "Sit down."
"It's a front station. The higher-ups plan to pilot the 179th Brigade before the year The size of the brigade, make it bigger."
Yang Chuanzhou sat on the suitcase with his trousers in hand, lit a cigarette and said leisurely: "But after finishing the front station, I will stay here."
“Did you mention it yourself, or was it arranged by the chief?”
When Chen Jun heard this, he was a little confused.
Yang Chuanzhou works in a unit under the Joint Staff Headquarters and the Intelligence Department, and he does a good job as director.
Normally, he doesn’t have to worry about anything. When the commander is out, he can always follow the busy schedule, and his military rank is stable and promoted every four years.
This kind of treatment is far better than the field troops.
"No one arranged it."
Lao Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "It is difficult to be promoted to colonel after reaching lieutenant colonel in a department like the one I am in. In addition, due to the military reform, the Fourth Headquarters has now been divided into more than a dozen departments, which requires a large number of personnel transfers."
“The relationships within the unit are complicated.”
“Even if I am not transferred, I will be placed in other idle units and wait until I am 40 years old to change jobs and go home.”
"The commander talked to me and suggested that I work in the front-line army for another ten years and retire when I am fifty years old. I don't have to change jobs and adapt to work again."
"Even if I retire, I will still be working on the front line for ten years." After a few years of experience, whether it is the place where I live or the living environment in the future, it will be better than changing jobs back to the local area. ”
"This is what the chief probably means."
"The chief is really nice to you."
Chen Jun sighed with emotion.
What he said is true. A deputy chief of staff paved the way for Lao Yang.
If he is really transferred to a casualty unit, at most he will be a casualty when he changes his job at the age of 40, but it will be different at the lower line.
Taking advantage of the military reform, a lieutenant colonel can always be promoted to a senior colonel in more than ten years, right?
Deputy division level cadres in a university, even if they retire at the age of fifty, still live in the family area of the army, where their old comrades are all, and their children’s education includes joining the army in the future.
Anything can help.
It is much better than changing jobs and going back by yourself.
In fact, many people understand this truth. The key is that without opportunities like Lao Yang, who can arrange the pilot brigade if they want to arrange it?
Ability is one aspect, and ability relies most on relationships.
Deputy Chief of Staff Chen Huanran, if you want Lao Yang to continue to stay in the original unit, there will definitely be no problem.
But in comparison, it is definitely not as good as the current arrangement.
During New Years and holidays in the future, even if Lao Yang is transferred to a front-line unit, he can still take his family to the chief's home to pay New Year greetings, which is already very good.
“Then I understand.”
Chen Jun stood up and patted Yang Chuanzhou on the shoulder: "Okay, there's no need to be so polite to you."
"It's good to be transferred here. At least we two are familiar with each other. You are in the brigade and I am in the camp. "
"Anyway, you are welcome to the 179th Brigade."
Chen Jun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, then reached out and picked up Lao Yang, carrying his luggage. Put it in your car.
He came for a meeting today, and there was a car driving from the camp.
"Now there is only one battalion left in the brigade that still retains its organizational structure. If you want to stay in the brigade, why don't you come back to the battalion headquarters with me first."
"You can come back tomorrow to report. Anyway, I think the agency meeting was not notified. There’s no point in staying in the brigade until there are concrete results.”
“Let’s get a feel for life in the grassroots unit first.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Yang Chuanzhou grinned, he had no intention of being polite to Chen Jun.
We are all old acquaintances, and you are so polite.
As for the fact that Yang Chuanzhou came to the 179th Brigade, Brigade Commander Tao Junming had no objections.
Chen Jun is even less likely to have any objections.
Lao Yang may have little grassroots experience and little understanding of grassroots troops, but this does not mean that he is incompetent.
How can a person who is capable of doing errands work with the head of the Joint Staff for so many years?
The two put their luggage in another car, and before the car started, Li Haiyao also arrived at the parking lot.
Maybe she didn't expect that Chen Jun would come back from Jinling tonight. He had rested in the dormitory early and was still wearing a thick military green coat to keep out the cold at night.
After meeting the parents, my mentality changed. Li Haiyao came over and stood in front of Chen Jun. The two of them looked particularly natural.
“This is? Chief Li’s granddaughter?”
Yang Chuanzhou's eyes almost popped out of his head when he suddenly saw a female comrade coming to find Chen Jun.
The main reason was that Chen Jun sent a WeChat message just now, but he didn’t pay attention at all.
“Well, her name is Li Haiyao.”
Chen Jun introduced with a smile.
"Yao Yao, this is Yang Chuanzhou, who works in the Intelligence Department of the Joint Staff Headquarters. He should be coming to our brigade now."
"Hello."
Li Haiyao heard Chen Jun mention Lao Yang before. When she saw the real person today, she naturally stretched out her hand and shook hands with Yang Chuanzhou.
“Hello!”
The two of them briefly greeted each other and were considered acquaintances.
Actually, Yang Chuanzhou felt that he should step aside at this time. After all, it was not good to be a light bulb.
But there was no place for him to dodge the problem.
I just came to the brigade today and I am not familiar with it at all. Without Chen Jun’s arrangement, he wouldn’t even be able to find a place to stay.
But fortunately, Chen Jun also has a plan.
Seeing the people coming, he simply invited: "Yao Yao, let's go to the second battalion to have some food first."
"The meal at the agency canteen at noon will be continued in the afternoon. No chance to eat either.”
"Okay."
Li Haiyao smiled with curved eyelashes.
Chen Jun drove the car and she sat in the passenger seat. Lao Yang was thrown into the back seat and sat alone. The three of them went straight to the Soldier Service Center near the Second Battalion.
Recently, most of the battalion-level units of the 179th Brigade have been withdrawn, and the nearby camps are almost empty. Some shops in the Soldier Service Center have also chosen to close temporarily.
Several business owners closed their doors and went home early to celebrate the New Year.
However, there are still a few stores open, and the main service is Yiying.
Chen Jun came here with his people and randomly found an open shop.
He and Lao Yang each ordered a bowl of steaming shredded pork noodles, and ordered two bottles of Sprite to replace the drinks.
Li Haiyao didn't order anything to eat. She came here just because she hadn't seen Chen Jun for a long time.
Want to stay with him for a while.
In addition, it was my first time to come to an unfamiliar brigade-level unit, so I was not able to adapt to all aspects.
She didn’t come here just to eat.
"When are you two planning to get married?"
Yang Chuanzhou was sitting in the restaurant, peeling garlic in his hand, and saw that the two of them were sitting so close to each other even while eating. vision.
Lao Yang could see that Li Haiyao really relied on his brother.
He has known Chen Jun for two years, and he was really happy to see that Diaomao could find such a good home.
Heard inquiries about marriage.
Li Haiyao raised her head and looked at Yang Chuanzhou, then at Chen Jun. She did not respond verbally.
Mainly because after visiting her home in Kyoto, she never had time to discuss this matter with Chen Jun.
“Well, I want to wait until my employer allocates a house to me when I get married. I have a house in hand and then I can go to Yangcheng to discuss it in detail.”
Chen Jun said after careful consideration.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go to Yangcheng, it’s just that he can’t leave at present, and the other is that he is influenced by traditional concepts.
I always feel that it’s a bit ungrateful to meet Li Haiyao’s parents without a house.
If they get married, they can't live together in a camp and in a hotel, right?
Anyway, according to regulations, those at the main battalion level can be assigned rooms and have the treatment of family members accompanying the army.
"It should be soon, years and years ago."
When Yang Chuanzhou heard Chen Jun's plan, he nodded slightly.
How to talk about the division of troops? Although he has never been with the 179th Brigade, he also knows that the terrain in Pengcheng is flat.
The Pengcheng garrison has always been a place that the country attaches great importance to, whether it is in terms of financial expenditures or unit construction in flat areas.
The units here have unique advantages, and the housing supply is not tight.
Besides, what can I do even if I am nervous? .
The old man’s prospective grandson-in-law and the old man’s granddaughter are all staying in the 179th Brigade. Needless to say, the priority resources will definitely be tilted towards Chen Jun.
Now that the level has been reached, room allocation will only take two months.
Chen Jun was sitting in the restaurant eating hot noodle soup, chatting with Li Haiyao for a while, and discussing with Yang Chuanzhou for a while. He guessed when there would be action on the content of the afternoon meeting.
It was quite pleasant.
But this was hard on the veterans of the first battalion.
Good guys, before the late roll call, there were many lazy non-commissioned officers in the camp who wanted to take advantage of the darkness before the roll call time.
Sneak over and grab something to eat.
As soon as I ran here, I saw my battalion commander there, and I was so frightened that my scalp tightened.
Why are you coming here all the time, and how are you going to turn around and go back?
At the same time, he did not forget to persuade the comrades he met on the road and remind them not to go shopping at the Soldier Service Center tonight.
How to say this kind of thing.
Chen Jun has always known that there are veterans in the camp secretly going out, but he is too lazy to care and turns a blind eye.
As long as there is no trouble, there will be no rectification.
This thing is a tacit understanding. If you catch someone running out, you will definitely be punished as necessary.
If he hadn't been caught, he wouldn't have bothered to ask.
It doesn’t matter if he eats a bowl of noodles.
Business in the evening between 8:00 and 8:50 was relatively good, but he ruined it all.
Several bosses looked at Chen Jun with some resentment in their eyes.
Those who can open a store here have seen this kind of thing many times, and naturally they understand the reason.
Chen Jun also noticed it, but he just smiled and sent Li Haiyao back to the brigade headquarters after dinner.
I brought Yang Chuanzhou back and randomly arranged a single dormitory in the camp.
Even if the day’s trip is over.
December 14th.
On the morning after Chen Jun attended the meeting, Tao Junming thought that the meeting would last for several days.
Chen Jun also doesn’t think that the brigade-level pilot project can be finalized so quickly.
After all, it involves too many areas.
To finalize a brigade-level synthetic unit, at least elites must be selected from tens of thousands of people and sent to the 179th Brigade.
Let’s not mention whether it is difficult or not.
The main reason is that it has only been a few days since the brigade was disbanded, and everyone is considering whether the order can be officially issued years ago.
One order after another from the Jinling Theater Agency was quickly conveyed to the brigade headquarters through the military region.
The instructions for the formation of the second battalion were synthesized and clearly led by Chen Jun.
The second battalion commander and instructors are Zhao Ziheng and Lin Jinhua. These two people were also notified to stop the training course.
Return to unit.
The 179th Brigade, which was calm yesterday, passed overnight, accompanied by orders from the theater agency.
The entire brigade cadres were alarmed.
Especially Chen Jun, he attended the meeting yesterday and did not expect it to happen so soon.
On the morning of the 14th, after receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, he hurriedly took Lao Yang with him.
Go straight to the brigade headquarters.
To form the second synthetic battalion, Chen Jun knew that this would be another challenge.
And the influence this time is really not necessarily lower than that of the First Battalion at that time.
