Chapter 575: Battle test, are you answering the question or throwing the keyboard?
Everyone who came to the military graduate class must have been notified. The dormitory building didn't feel crowded during the meal just now. Good guy, it only took a moment.
The dark crowd came out of the building, and all of them were colonels, aged between thirty-five and forty.
These are all the mainstays of the East.
When Chen Jun went to gather in front of the Multimedia Building, he turned his head and glanced behind him.
He shook his head secretly. No wonder many people said that this graduate class was not easy.
What the hell, as long as they are not blind, anyone can see that there is something wrong with this arrangement.
How can there be a bunch of colonels coming here to study for graduate school?
Isn't this the same as seeing a bunch of twenty-year-olds suddenly sign up for school at the door of a kindergarten? It's just as incredible.
There is no shade in front of the multimedia building. It is bare and has a concrete floor. The sun in May, especially at noon, can be described as fierce.
Normally in the workplace, all the cadres who work with the air conditioner blowing and drinking tea gather under the sun to enjoy the scorching heat. Many of them show impatience and anxiety on their faces.
But other than that.
Chen Jun also found that something was wrong with the atmosphere. How to describe this feeling? It was very similar to the state of war. The atmosphere was extremely solemn and even filled with a tragic smell.
This is not Chen Jun's imagination. No one who can become a colonel has a simple role. How many colonels are there in a front-line combat unit in a war zone?
More than 180 people gathered here alone, and they had just been informed clearly about the entrance examination they would take.
In this case, if you think about it, you will know how important this next class is.
Even if it can't be said that joining the class guarantees promotion, I'm afraid it's almost the same.
If there is anyone in the army who wants war the most, apart from the soldiers who want to make meritorious deeds, it is probably these colonels or senior colonels.
Because when they have reached this stage, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if they want to be promoted again. They have truly reached the stage of sailing against the current or retreating if they don't advance.
The system of elimination in the last place has always been cruel.
What's even more cruel is that 90% of the officers who graduated cannot rush to stand here and fight for the opportunity.
Not long before Chen Jun arrived at the building, Ji Tong strolled up to him as if smelling the smell.
Everyone was from the 71st Army. When Ji Tong saw Sun Zonghang, it was obvious that the two of them were very familiar. He nodded and called "Old Sun", then stood next to Chen Jun, frowning and said: "This time. I’m afraid the entrance examination will be troublesome.”
"Forget about the elimination system, we won't even give you a chance to review unexpectedly."
"The name of the training class is also changed to a military graduate class. It is obviously misleading."
When Chen Jun heard this, he also fell silent.
Although my uncle gave a very subtle reminder before departure, there was not much difference between the presence or absence of that reminder.
This is not the first time that the military has done this kind of thing. Destroyers can be photographed as small fishing boats, and aircraft carriers can be photographed as casting a net into the sea. This kind of situation where even soldiers can be misled is not new.
Chen Jun and others in this circle actually don't have high qualifications among colonels. Ability is ability and qualifications are qualifications. Who can be weaker than who after reaching this level?
Just when they were all silent.
At the front of the assembled team, a tall colonel who looked to be in his forties broke the oppressive atmosphere with a smile.
He said with a very serious expression: "Comrades from all military regions, dear brothers, I just informed you of the entrance examination. I believe everyone knows about it."
"I won't show off too much. The entrance examination may mean that a few people make progress and the majority miss opportunities, but in any case, we should not ruin the atmosphere just because of one assessment."
"That's too narrow-minded. Being able to get together today and become classmates is fate. We should cherish it. If nothing else, this group of 2018, in the next twenty years, may really be able to get out of the one-mai-three class."
"The comrades present are all witnesses. At least we have competed together. When I think of this assessment, even if it cannot be said that I am just a classmate, it is at least a good memory."
After the colonel finished speaking generously, he changed the topic and continued: "Of course, I don't know what the next assessment will be. Anyway, no matter what it is, I personally haven't reviewed it at all, but I can know so many old people. Brother, it can be considered the biggest gain in my life.”
The solemn atmosphere that originally arose due to the entrance examination was dispelled by the colonel's words.
Several familiar people gathered together again and started chatting, and the atmosphere gradually improved.
Chen Jun sighed. Only when he entered this level did he know how cruel it was. The big brother just now obviously knew that he might not pass the entrance examination, so he took this opportunity to form a good relationship.
Show your face or something.
At this point, just keeping your head down and working hard no longer has much effect.
Hearing a sigh from beside him, Ji Tong grinned, then lowered his voice and said: "Boy Chen, it's time for you to learn to adapt to this kind of situation."
"There are quite a few people here who know you, and many of them have studied with you, so they owe you some favors."
"Go ahead, I don't know what the next topic will be in the exam. Stop acting like a young person. Get to know each other more and talk more. Even if you pretend to agree, it's better than standing here like a stick."
How about it being an old turtle egg? As soon as he finished talking to Chen Jun, Ji Tong immediately taught by words and deeds. He grinned his big sausage mouth and started chatting with a colonel not far away.
That guy, if he hadn't seen the whole process, he would have thought they were biological brothers.
In fact, Chen Jun also understands the truth, but after all, he didn't live very long in his previous life, and he served in a place like Longya where he only knew how to fight.
Sophisticated conversation is hard to come by.
In addition, he knew many of the people present, but many of them were severely beaten by him during the exercise, which was really difficult to handle.
But fortunately, whether it is Chief of Staff Chen or Director Chen, these two titles are very useful.
Not long after, people nearby who recognized Chen Jun also came over to pass a cigarette and chatted familiarly, making the atmosphere more lively.
And at this moment.
At the window on the fourth floor of the Multimedia Building, Chen Baihua, the principal of the Hongdu Army Infantry Academy, and Zhang Shaoyang, the political commissar, were looking at the dark crowd below.
"Why, Old Chen, haven't you ordered the assessment?" Political Commissar Zhang turned to look at his old partner.
The two of them have been standing here for more than ten minutes.
"Hey, this entrance examination, the higher-ups really gave me a difficult problem."
Chen Baihua shook his head. He stood here hesitantly because he didn't know how to explain the rule of eliminating 70% of the people.
Secondly, we also want these comrades from the army to get to know each other and have a chat.
The reason why political commissar Zhang urged was not that Zhang Shaoyang didn't want to see this harmonious scene.
Because this rapport is only superficial.
There is a saying that goes, from the grassroots level to leading troops until they are thirty or forty years old, these people play tactics and study tactics, and each one is more evil than the other.
From the looks of it, they were chatting quite harmoniously, as if they were brothers having a happy reunion.
In fact, if you get closer, you can easily tell that the topic is nothing more than who is capable, so there will definitely be no problem in this entrance examination.
Who performed well in which military exercise? This kind of assessment is just a formality.
This kind of thing sounds right at first glance, but in fact it is just flattery, putting pressure on others, and putting people who are going to take the assessment together on the fire.
Just like when I was studying in school, before the exam, many neighbors would brag to their parents, praising you for being smart and getting first place. In fact, you know your own results well, and whether the praise is intentional or worldly, it is nothing. It's a sharp sword hanging above his head.
In the end, I barely passed the exam with a score of 60%. When I got home, I realized the weight of a feather duster every minute.
Because many parents will be skewed by this kind of praise, thinking that their children are smart, and failing in the exam is the result of not paying attention and not working hard.
For example, Ji Tong now ran over to chat with excitement just now, but now his face turned dark after being praised.
I don’t even want to pretend anymore.
The same goes for Chen Jun. He was surrounded by a group of people, praising him for being young and promising. The waves behind him in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The words of praise are everywhere.
This is not business bragging, this is weakening the next competitor.
They don't know the rules of the entrance examination, but at least they know that if they fail the examination, they won't be admitted to the class.
At the gathering site, we were divided into small circles and chatting happily.
In the multimedia building, Chen Baihua and Zhang Shaoyang walked out of the lobby together.
Two people, Yi Mai and Yi, came over at the same time, and everyone who had been chatting just now subconsciously began to gather and line up.
Principal Chen glanced at the dark crowd. It was already lunch break in the college, and there were very few people passing by.
He waved his hand directly and said in a loud voice: "Okay, comrades, there is no need to line up. The weather is hot. I will keep my story short."
"The launch of this military graduate class is in response to the request of the Eastern Region and the Army Headquarters. Let me briefly introduce two points."
"First, the entrance examination is divided into three parts, the first is battle theory, the second is battle planning sand table deduction, and the third is writing an opinion on future wars."
"As long as you pass the first and second items, you can join the class. The third item can be submitted before graduation. You can think of it as a graduation thesis."
"But I'm going to say something ugly beforehand. The entrance examination indicators are very strict. The notice given to me from above is that 70% of the people will be eliminated."
"Let me be more clear. In the next assessment subjects, it is not enough to have excellent grades. You must eliminate twice as many opponents during the assessment process, and defeat an average of two or three students of the same period in order to qualify for the class. .”
"That's all I can explain."
"Next, all comrades will gather in the auditorium on the third floor of the Multimedia Building. There is a box at the door. You can consciously put the mobile phones you carry with you into it."
Chen Baihua had tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, but when the news of 70% elimination was announced, the people present were still unable to accept it.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and because they were dizzy from the sun, no one moved.
Eliminate 70%, what is this concept?
You must know that according to the regulations of the director during the exercise, an entire combat unit will be forced to withdraw only if 70% of it is destroyed.
This kind of rule is not that the director's department is inhumane, but that the remaining 30% really has no combat effectiveness, either the remaining logistics or other auxiliary units.
It's just a class of 180 people, but more than 130 people have to leave?
Many of the cadres present are past the age of taking chances, and they know their position very well.
It would be fine if you could compete based on your ability despite the difficulty of the assessment, but once the hard targets are set, the last-place elimination system gives most people no hope of competing.
After all, no matter how well you do in the exam, there will always be someone better than you. There is no fairness in choosing the best.
"What are you doing standing around? Go gather on the third floor!!"
Chen Baihua shouted sharply, waking up those who were hesitant.
One after another, people began to line up to enter the multimedia building. Some people held their heads high, some hung their heads, some were silent, and some were thoughtful.
Do you think that the psychological quality of this group of people is too poor? It’s just a class entrance examination, and why do they engage in so many dramas?
No no no.
This is not a matter of acting or not, but a matter of reality. The Eastern and Army Headquarters took the lead in organizing the training course, which was responsible for submitting reports. A total of more than 180 people were arranged.
Being able to join the class is your ticket. If you go back in despair and can't even join the class, what will the people above think of you?
At this time, talking about merit and ability seems a bit too pale, right?
If you do come across a suitable opportunity, do you think they are people who are considering joining the class or people who have been eliminated?
The answer is obvious.
Chen Jun lined up behind him and entered the venue together, but when he passed by Chen Baihua and Zhang Shaoyang.
Political Commissar Zhang has been staring at this young man with interest. It's not that Chen Jun is so dazzling, but mainly that he is too conspicuous.
There were a group of people in their thirties and forties fighting for it, and he was the only one in his twenties among them. Even people who didn't know Chen Jun would take a few more glances.
What's more, Political Commissar Zhang is no stranger to him.
As if noticing Chen Jun looking at him, Zhang Shaoyang waved to him.
Chen Jun didn't hesitate and quickly turned around and walked up to the two of them in a standard formation.
He raised his hand and saluted: "Hello, Chief!!"
"Ho ho, Chen Jun."
Zhang Shaoyang looked at the young people who had become famous in the east in recent years with great interest.
Chen Baihua said "hmm", neither salty nor bland. He wasn't too enthusiastic, but he wasn't too cold either.
Lao Chen was mainly angry. If it weren't for this kid, the battle class would have started long ago. Chief of Staff Xu made a phone call and was stunned to make them wait for so long.
Who can understand how many calls Principal Chen received from the west, south, north, and central part of the country during this period of delay?
How many requests have you declined to send people over for training?
There were so many people offended.
For this reason, it would be damned if he still looked good when he saw Chen Jun.
Zhang Shaoyang knew what his old partner was thinking. He grinned and ignored Principal Chen. Instead, he raised his hand and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, are you sure about the entrance examination?"
"Report to the chief, I will try my best."
Chen Jun didn't dare to speak too fully.
"Well, perform well and don't put too much pressure on me."
"But let me remind you that the experience accumulated with time and qualifications is often more lethal than your passion."
"Ho ho, go ahead, I hope you can stay."
"Thank you, Chief. I promise I won't disappoint you."
Chen Jun stood at attention again, raised his hands and turned slightly to salute the two, then turned and walked towards the team.
Watching him enter the building, Chen Baihua looked at him quietly and whispered: "Old Zhang, are you so optimistic about this kid?"
"Shouldn't we be optimistic about it?"
Zhang Shaoyang asked rhetorically: "Such an energetic young man entered the Eagle Training Program before graduating. Only a few years after graduation, even his files were included in the revival files."
"You haven't entered the file yet, have you? If I don't like him, how can he still like you?"
"Old Chen, put away your petty spirit. Although there are many shadows of the Li family behind his achievements, there are many things that cannot be controlled by the Li family."
"Isn't it just that I have said too many smiling words on the phone these days, so what's the point."
Zhang Shaoyang happily drank his fill, and then walked into the multimedia building with his hands behind his back.
Principal Chen was left alone with a confused face.
Damn it, you just answered the phone and said too many words to make me smile. How dare you answer the phone?
If it weren't for the sake of his old partner, Chen Baihua would have really wanted to punch Zhang Shaoyang in the head.
This is so irritating.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Because Chen Jun was stopped by Political Commissar Zhang, which delayed him for some time, and because his original position was at the back, when he entered the so-called auditorium on the third floor, almost everyone else had found their place.
Seeing Chen Jun coming, many people in the auditorium looked at him.
At this moment, Chen Jun has a sense of "who in the world doesn't recognize you". He is already well-known in the east, and 30% of the admission quota has not been announced yet.
Many people can be calmer and not pay too much attention to Chen Jun, the darkest horse in recent years.
But as soon as the quota regulations for admission to the class were announced, he almost became the target of public criticism.
For no other reason than he is too famous.
"Haha, hello seniors!!"
Chen Jun met everyone's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and held up his hands in a very arrogant manner.
"Hello, senior, I hope everyone can perform well. I will sit in the back."
The gaze pierced my body like a knife. Although it didn't hurt, the key was that it wasn't exciting.
In the auditorium in the multimedia building, there are computers on every table. This place should be used for the college's classes. It is thousands of square meters, and they are not conspicuous at all when they are crammed into it.
Chen Jun quickly ran to the corner of the sixth row and sat down. When Zhang Shaoyang and Chen Baihua walked in together, the staff in the auditorium closed the door and turned on all the headlights.
Principal Chen walked to the podium in front of the auditorium, picked up the microphone, and said loudly: "Comrades, for the battle theory assessment, turn on the computer and open the question bank to generate the questions."
"The question is very simple. I believe this is not the first time you have encountered theoretical issues."
"Remember to enter your name, unit, and officer number before answering the question."
"I have nothing else to remind you, comrades, let's get started."
Theoretical exams are indeed not uncommon in the army, and Chen Baihua didn't pay too much attention. He just gave a brief explanation and announced the start.
Usually in the unit, officers actually have an assessment every year, but there are policies and countermeasures, so it is not difficult to pass.
But this time, no one dared to underestimate him.
Chen Jun also stared at his screen. Two minutes after entering his name, unit (according to his military ID), and military officer number, the computer question bank generated a test paper.
The rules of the exam are to review the questions first.
Similar battle subject examinations do not have multiple choice questions or fill-in-the-blank questions at all. Overall, it is still the same old routine.
The test paper is divided into three parts. The first part measures the organizational planning and implementation capabilities of senior officers.
The second part tests the command quality of officers.
The third part is to complete the military modeling of the designated campaign.
The routines are all the same, but the assessment is very comprehensive. If you don't have some skills, it's hard to say whether you can answer them comprehensively.
After reviewing the questions, Chen Jun focused on the first part. The first question was basically just a sample, not too difficult.
Asking about the composition of the modern battlefield, anyone who watches the news and surfs the Internet will know that modern warfare is a five-dimensional system of land, sea, air, space, and electricity.
But the difficulty of the second question soared, asking the person who answered the question to organize the implementation process of beach landing.
Chen Jun is good at this stuff. In the past, the senior year training was to add information-based play methods to each battle, including the modeling of multi-terrain battles of synthetic units. This is all old ground.
Chen Jun's fingers clicked on the keyboard. The first phase includes troop deployment, environmental hydrological reconnaissance, water depth surveying, air and sea artillery firepower plan design, vehicle application preparation, medical distribution, equipment verification, sand table deduction, and formulation of battle assault and weight. Support, retreat, communications backup plan.
The second stage is pre-war mobilization, unit task assignment, sea and air bombing, positioning and clearing of torpedoes, assault sequence units landing and establishing positions, expanding positions, systematically extending artillery fire, occupying docks and ports
Chen Jun is young, quick in thinking, and has a good memory. He is very good at typing on the computer.
The crackling sound was extremely harsh in the silent auditorium.
At first, no one in the auditorium paid attention. After all, the assessment should be taken more seriously. Each officer looked at the test questions on the screen like an old scholar and studied them carefully.
The more cautious ones have already started to ask the staff for paper and pen. They must list the general steps of each question in advance and record them on paper to ensure that their thoughts are clear before looking at the next question.
That guy, there is no one more cautious than them.
But Chen Jun was sitting in the back row, as if he was dancing in an Audition. He kept tapping his keyboard for more than ten minutes, which made many people couldn't help but look back.
When they discovered that it was this boy Chen again, many cautious officers twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Damn, are you answering the questions or are you smashing the keyboard?
Don’t we need to think about the battle assessment?
Or is it that this boy Chen is too lucky and the questions generated in the test paper are too easy?
There were more than a hundred people, and at least more than half of them turned their heads from time to time. It wasn't because they were affected by the sound of tapping the keyboard, but they had never seen such a neat and strange person on the assessment field.
It's okay if you think about it for a while.
Fortunately, Chen Jun was immersed in answering the questions and was not aware of other people's thoughts, otherwise he would have had to laugh out loud.
In fact, in the battle assessment, regardless of practical ability, Chen Jun really didn't scare anyone in terms of theoretical basis.
After all, he is a person who has experienced future generations. In a place like the Dragon Tooth Commando, studying the weaknesses of the armies of various countries naturally leads to the study of their various battles.
Including some new battle theories of later generations and topics published in military science research, Long Ya has the privilege to study and study them in advance.
Try to find commando maximum war benefits from modern warfare.
Coupled with his own accumulation in the past few years, the keyboard is noisy.
Noticing that many people in the auditorium looked back from time to time, Zhang Shaoyang, the political commissar in charge of invigilating the exam, frowned and walked behind Chen Jun.
He originally wanted to see whether this kid was deliberately trying to impress others by playing the keyboard so well, or if he was really talented.
But after he stood behind Chen Jun for a while, he was also attracted by the speed of answering questions.
Stand there, thoughtful.
Good guy, it doesn't matter if Zhang Shaoyang stops here, Chen Baihua, who is sitting in front of the auditorium, is also stunned.
What is going on?
Is Lao Zhang so helpless? You stand there and watch for a while and then you can't move your feet anymore?
