Chapter 599: Always on the road (finale)
Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
The two of them were fooled by the old man.
Not feeling the regret of losing his talent, nor the anger of being fooled, Shen Hongwei straightened his uniform, snorted coldly, and walked into the conference room with his head held high.
The loser does not lose the formation.
Several old comrades have been bickering for most of their lives. They have already reached the age of 60 and there is nothing they can't stand.
But from this tone, it can be concluded that in this Eastern War, the interest for cultivating a talent has to be collected, so you can't just give people to the West in vain, right?
"Yo!!"
In the conference room, Qi Dongshan heard the noise coming from the door. He pretended to be surprised, pushed aside the cadre beside him, and walked towards the door with a surprised expression on his face.
"Lao Shen, Lao Chai, such a rare visitor!!"
Qi Dongshan smiled heartily.
Facing his old friend coming to greet him, Shen Hongwei didn't give any face at all. He pushed away the approaching hands and snorted again.
He looked quite cold and sat on a chair nearby.
On the contrary, Chai Yansong laughed and shook hands with Qi Dongshan. After all, he was a political commissar.
The old partners have formed a sufficient tacit understanding.
Shen Hongwei was causing trouble in the front, while Political Commissar Chai was behind the scenes, trying to make his partner's behavior look reasonable and compliant, with no faults to be found.
Although Qi Dongshan could not be said to be a person above him, and the three of them were equal in terms of rank, Chai Yansong still shook hands and cursed in a low voice: "Lao Qi, you didn't do this very well."
"Secretly plotting against Chen Cang, and thus keeping Old Shen's heart secret?"
"Your formalistic style is too mean."
"Hey!"
Qi Dongshan's face darkened. He was also the commander-in-chief of the western region after all.
These two old men came over and refused to buy anything. They just ignored everyone with a black face.
The other person was polite, but ended up criticizing himself for gaining fame and merit.
It was these old comrades-in-arms. If anyone else dared to say that to him, Big-Eared Melon Zi would probably call him out on him.
"Okay, I can see that you and Lao Shen are here to investigate."
Qi Dongshan’s eyes stood horizontally.
As a result, Chai Yansong didn't listen to him at all, and directly sneered with his hands behind his back: "What? I ran all the way from Jinling to Tianfu, how could I just do it just to see you?"
Watching the two old men bicker.
The group of cadres gathered in the conference room felt their scalps tightening, and each one slipped away faster than the other, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The more discerning person did not forget to close the conference room door before going out.
In Nuoda's conference room, only Li Zhenhua, Qi Dongshan, Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong were left. Even Li Hongtao, the chief of staff of the Western Region, was in a hurry.
After all, they are not on the same level. I can't stand here and say nothing. In the end, I got too angry and no one dared to scold the old man. Maybe he, a junior, would take the blame.
Only Han Biao stayed.
The calmest person in the whole conference room is Fang Yuhua, political commissar of the western region. He has been a good old man for most of his life, but his temper is not so hot. He is sitting leisurely and contentedly, drinking tea and watching the excitement.
Seeing that the juniors were all gone, 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 done properly."
"Before, the headquarters wanted to transfer Chen Jun. I didn't hesitate. They said it was for experience and I also agreed."
"Now that I've practiced this, it's time for me to return the favor, right?"
"Did I say I wouldn't pay it back?"
Li Zhenhua casually placed the marker on the rock slab under the map. He clapped his hands and turned around, looking at Shen Hongwei calmly.
"I have been here for two days, just waiting for you and your attitude towards fighting eastward. Where are you people?"
"Qi Dongshan detained people when he said he would. You, Shen Hongwei, kept saying that he was yours. What about yours?"
"Is the distance from Jinling to Tianfu further than from Kyoto to Tianfu?"
"I"
Shen Hongwei was speechless when asked.
Just now, Chai Yansong scolded Qi Dongshan. This was considered to have gained a foothold in advance and gave him the confidence to launch an attack on him.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhenhua pushed the responsibility back again in a few words, and instead blamed them for not being active.
Everyone present knew that this was the old man's trick.
After all, the old man was angry in the office, and he couldn't hide the news.
At that time, whoever was left to judge, it was the old man who wanted to go straight to Tianfu to take the person away, and the distribution matter would wait until Kyoto.
But who knows, after people came to Tianfu, there was no movement.
Shen Hongwei couldn't sit still, so he started running over.
But he dares to admit that by not coming here before, is he just weighing the pros and cons?
He didn't dare.
Because if you admit this, you won’t have much confidence to rob people again.
Chai Yansong watched his old partner being questioned. He laughed dryly, walked to Li Zhenhua and pulled out the chair next to the conference table: "Brother, sit down."
After inviting Li Zhenhua to sit down, he also sat aside.
"It is not a bad thing for Chen Jun to stay in the west, but based on the current development, it is better to go to the east."
"High-end command talents are needed there. The East China Sea is a huge event. An officer like Chen Jun who is good at fighting and leading troops should go there to give full play to his talents."
"Hmph, that's nonsense."
Listening to Chai Yansong sitting there drawing big cakes, the old man said nothing, Qi Dongshan couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked on the conference table in protest: "Lao Chai, don't stand and talk without hurting your back."
"Your military exercise is a big deal. My border defense construction is not a trivial matter, and I'm not afraid to tell you."
"Chen Jun has accepted a promotion 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 border defense is going to be handed over to Mr. Chen. Brother Li has said that he should shoulder a heavy burden, tread thousands of miles, and firmly regard border defense construction as his mission to continue."
"Can you give me this condition?"
Qi Dongshan's words were sonorous and powerful. Chai Yansong opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent.
The country has become rich and powerful, and border defense construction is a major policy formulated by the headquarters. Those who take up this responsibility will definitely have a place in the future.
This is a macro-level mission. Although the East China Sea Exercise is of epoch-making significance, it must go through various considerations, interests, and long-term development.
That military exercise is not something that can be defeated by fighting.
Comparing the two aspects, border defense construction is a down-to-earth contribution and a contribution that cannot be erased.
In this regard, the old man thinks ahead than they do.
After figuring out the follow-up arrangements, Shen Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this person would not leave when he came.
The headquarters and Xi Zhan set up such a grand scheme just to keep this person and sway all those who wanted to covet him.
Now that the plans are out, the work is done, and the overall situation has been decided, there is no point in arguing.
Li Zhenhua saw that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little solid. Several old comrades were too dull because of the robbery.
He simply waved his hand and said: "Okay, as for Chen Jun's stay or leave, wait and let him make his own choice."
"Weiwei, do you have any objection now?"
Looking at the old man, staring directly at himself, Shen Hongwei quickly expressed his position: "No, Brother Li, I won't interfere if you have a plan."
"Just stay."
What else could he say? He didn't know what was going on before he came. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have gone into this troubled water.
"Then it's settled. Wait for Chen Jun to come over and ask for his opinion."
Li Zhenhua finally made the decision.
He is not easy to talk to, and he is not someone who changes his plans easily.
It's about understanding his grandson-in-law's future path. After six years of border defense, he will finally figure it out.
At least I have my own answer in my heart. Having a plan and having answers is the most basic thing you need to be able to move forward in the future.
The opinions were unified, and then several old men began to discuss the policy of border defense construction.
With these people making suggestions and paving the way for the future, Chen Jun would not fly too low even if he was a pig, not to mention his ability.
. . . . . . . .
After Chen Jun accepted his promotion in the auditorium of the Tibetan Military Region, the military region immediately arranged a helicopter escort to Tianfu.
This was originally the plan made by the Western War side.
After arriving at Tianfu Headquarters, led by security guards, Chen Jun wore regular clothes and came to the door of the conference room.
He didn't even need to knock on the door. The guard knocked on the door twice and then pushed it open, indicating that Chen Jun could enter.
He was not the shy person either. After nodding his thanks, he strode into the conference room.
As soon as he walked into the room, he looked up and saw a total of five leaders with one wheat and three heads, staring at him with burning eyes.
Chen Jun had been prepared for this, but at this moment, he was also shocked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He hurriedly walked a few steps and came to a position two meters away from the conference table, stood at attention and saluted! !
"Hello, Chief!!"
Looking at this young young man, who has now grown up to two and four, the old men have different expressions.
Shen Hongwei sighed. He had just figured out the problem. After meeting the real person again, he still regretted it. Such a good seedling was taken away as soon as it was said to be taken away.
I feel a little unhappy in my heart.
Chai Yansong smiled and nodded. From his expression, he couldn't tell whether he was regretful or happy, just like an old fox.
The happiest person is Qidong Mountain. Border defense construction is a big plan. Now that there are suitable young people to take over, can you be unhappy?
The old man's eyes swept across the faces of several old comrades, then looked at Chen Jun, and said in a low voice: "Chen Jun."
"Arrived!!"
"I would like to ask your personal opinion regarding your future work."
"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 plain inquiry.
The other old men stopped arguing at this time. They all leaned back on their seats and looked at him calmly.
After all, it's okay for a few old friends to argue in private, but when the juniors are around, they still have to put up their airs.
Chen Jun felt the pressure of the scene. After pondering for a moment, he first saluted Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong: "Thank you, Chief, for cultivating me. I will never forget it."
"But, I want to stay in the West."
"Reason."
The old man's tone remained calm.
"Reporting to the chief, I have no reason, if I must say it."
"I can only say that I have been to the border defense. I have seen many soldiers in a state of fighting all year round. Both the enemy and ourselves want to destroy each other."
"It is very common to seize the opportunity to attack at any time. The task of turning back is very arduous. Although it has improved now, we still need to constantly track, set up ambushes, patrol, and take precautions."
"Every time soldiers go out, they have to carry heavy weapons and ammunition, dry food, staple and non-staple food, firewood, etc. to kill the enemy."
"If you encounter enemy situations, it is common to march quickly across the snow-capped mountains."
"It's too cold at the border. The cotton-padded clothes, fur coats, and fur shoes I wear with me are too bulky, and the load on my body is beyond imagination."
"Even in this environment, comrades have never complained, but for border defense, the most lethal enemies are not those enemies who do all kinds of evil."
"It is not the natural conditions that can be called a forbidden zone for human beings, but loneliness, loneliness and unforeseen disasters."
"Due to long-term isolation and no communication with the outside world, most comrades know nothing about the outside world. When I was patrolling, I saw many soldiers younger than me. Because of the environment, they became reticent and their personalities gradually became old-fashioned. Cranky.”
"There may even be confusion in thinking and logic and degradation of language function."
"More than once, I saw border veterans huddled in a corner, rubbing the letters from home in their hands over and over again. This was their only inner comfort."
"I have seen more than once that at outposts with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters, comrades are holding a pot of fake flowers bought from the market under the mountain, treating them as treasures."
"When the sun comes out, comrades will take out the fake flowers to bask in the sun. When it gets dark, someone will protect the flower pots and carefully carry them back to the dormitory."
"Because of a storm, the leaves and petals of the fake flowers were blown away, and many soldiers cried."
"No matter how many fake flowers I buy and send to frontline posts, they can't heal these facts."
"Today, border defense construction is getting better and better, but many objective reasons still exist and have not been resolved."
"So, Chief, I am applying to stay. I don't want to leave here with regrets. Then I will be no different from a deserter."
"When I first joined the 353rd Regiment, it took me half a year to prove that I was not gilded in the past. I knew there were many things similar to the 353rd Regiment, and even worse overall."
"Chief, I'm sorry."
After Chen Jun finished speaking, he faced Shen Hongwei and Chai Yansong and saluted again.
These two people suddenly came here. Even if they thought about it with their toes, they knew why.
Shen Hongwei nodded without responding. He knew the situation at the border.
Once a border guard, always a border guard, this is not unusual.
This is the noblest virtue as a soldier.
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, smiled and encouraged: "Okay, I'm sorry if you have anything to say, you have to walk the road yourself."
"Now that you are mentally prepared, then go on determinedly."
"Come on kid."
"Yes!!!"
The old man didn't speak again from beginning to end. He just handed Chen Jun a transfer letter and arranged for his bodyguard to take him to southern Xinjiang for his appointment.
After Chen Jun saluted again, he turned around and strode out of the conference room.
This time, the place he will go to is the Ali Military Division in southern Xinjiang as deputy commander.
Building border defense is not an 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 finished speaking just now.
The construction plan is always on the way.
. . . . . . . . . . .
ten years.
Chen Jun's footprints have traveled to Kashi, Ali, Hotan, Aksu, Bayin, and Kelsu military divisions.
His position was also promoted from deputy commander of the military division to commander.
Eventually he was transferred back to southern Xinjiang to serve as the chief of staff of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region.
At the age of forty-six, he rushed to Kyoto and was awarded the title of Yi Mai Yi and served as the commander-in-chief of the military region.
As mentioned at the beginning, the border defense construction plan is always on the way.
Keep moving forward.
Many years later.
Chen Jun's temples were already gray, but his body was still upright. He stood at Tianmen and was responsible for reviewing the opening ceremony.
Facing the grand scene of Tianmen with huge crowds of people.
Facing the attention from all over the world, Chen Jun ordered with a strong voice and great momentum.
"Distributed!"
"Start!!"
