Chapter 155 Great news! The commander personally approved
Chen Jun missed Xu Sanduo's highlight moment and failed to see one of the classic plots of "Soldier Assault".
However, during the conversation between him and the division commander at the division headquarters, he successfully and completely conquered the division commander through the experience accumulated in three lifetimes, and ushered in his highlight moment.
The first question between the division commander and Chen Jun in their private chat was actually not that "friendly".
"Contract tactics have just taken root in our army. Even the frontline troops are still in the experimental stage. However, your contract reform theory is close to perfection. May I know how you did it?"
The first thing the commander wanted to know was how Chen Jun did it.
It sounds strange, but it makes sense.
After all, Chen Jun is only 23 years old now, and is still a platoon leader at the lowest level of the grassroots unit, but he can write a set of theories starting from the synthetic company to the synthetic battalion.
"On the Feasibility of Building a Synthetic Force from Scratch"!
Although this theory only mentions the combined battalion, it does not mention the regiment, brigade, and division organizations above it, which makes the division commander feel that it is somewhat unsatisfactory.
But the combined battalion is already a remarkable existence, and it is a top-secret secret no matter where it is placed.
Chen Jun, a grassroots cadre who had just graduated for less than two years and had been a platoon leader for just one year, was able to write such profound theories.
It is indeed impossible from common sense, which naturally makes people feel incredible.
When Chen Jun decided to build a combined company, he knew that with his current status and qualifications, coming up with such a shocking thing would inevitably arouse suspicion.
So in order to be able to give a reasonable explanation, he had made preparations in advance.
First of all, even if he has a full set of contract tactics, even if he is given a division-level organization now, he can build a synthetic division within a year.
Chen Jun was not so foolish as to tell everyone he knew all at once.
The theoretical content of combined tactics currently written only applies to company-level and battalion-level combined forces and is still within the scope of grassroots units.
Secondly, I have collected a lot of information and laid enough preparation for myself in advance.
Therefore, when the division commander raised this question, Chen Jun did not panic at all, and explained naturally: "I don't have too many interests, I just like to do research, especially modern wars.
The Gulf War, I'm sure you know how much shock it brought to the world.
Iraq, known as the strongest country in the Middle East, dispatched more than 700,000 troops, but was defeated in just 42 days.
The ground war was even shorter, lasting less than a hundred hours.
I was still in high school at that time, and I was deeply shocked by this war. I realized that the traditional warfare model had been abandoned by the times.
Informatization, science and technology, globalization and modernization are the new forms of warfare.
So, from that time on, I would use various methods like this to collect various kinds of information and deduce and simulate future war needs.
Among them, the new synthetic organization of the US Army aroused my great interest.
When I went to college, I had computers and was able to obtain more cutting-edge information more quickly, and the theory of synthesis in my mind gradually took shape.
Therefore, after being assigned to the 7th Steel Company, my inner expectations became even stronger. I was always thinking about realizing my ideas and building a synthetic force belonging to our country.
In the end, I was very lucky to be appreciated by the company commander and supported by our regiment leader, which gave me the opportunity to turn my dream into reality.
The only pity now is...
Even though I have made enough efforts, I still have too little practical experience. I can only simulate in my mind, which is too limited.
Therefore, my theory of synthetic forces can only be deduced to the battalion level now. It will take more time to go further."
Chen Jun spoke fluently, with his remarks being logical, well-founded, and causal.
Can't fault it at all!
"You mean, you've been writing this synthesis theory since high school? And you didn't finish it until you graduated from college? It took more than five years?"
The division commander was shocked by Chen Jun's words and no longer had any doubts about Chen Jun.
And because Chen Jun spent five years on independent research, he was able to complete the combined tactical theory from zero to a combined battalion by simply collecting data and information, without any practice, and relying entirely on brain simulation and deduction.
The division commander was impressed by Chen Jun's amazing talent and had to admit that Chen Jun was a rare military genius.
"Yes, I spent more than five years on it and invested all my spare time into it. Fortunately, it did not disappoint me and it is still of some value." Chen Jun said with a modest smile.
"One person accomplished what a team of people couldn't do in ten years. He is a genius, an absolute genius."
The commander always appeared to be steady and dignified, but at this moment he could not hold back his emotions. His face was filled with an excited smile, and he could not help praising Chen Jun.
"Commander, you're too kind. I'm just lucky and I just did it blindly." Chen Jun smiled modestly again.
"This is a combination of hard work, strength and ability. How can it be completely wiped out with just one word: good luck? What's more, luck is also a manifestation of strength, haha."
Chen Jun's amazing strength yet humility made the commander appreciate Chen Jun's character even more and like him even more.
There is no doubt about the strength of the combined company. The confrontation exercise is the most direct proof. The division commander then asked his second question.
"Chen Jun, let me say hypothetically, if I ask you to form a combined battalion, are you confident that you can accomplish it?"
The commander locked his eyes on Chen Jun's, his expressionless face revealing no hidden meaning.
But although Chen Jun is only in his twenties now, he has actually lived much longer than his commander, so it is easy for him to read people's expressions.
Chen Jun knew that the division commander asked this question not really wanting him to form a combined battalion right away.
But he was testing him.
It is equivalent to the last test before making the final decision.
Whenever Chen Jun answered hesitantly, it meant that Chen Jun did not have enough confidence in the theory he wrote, at least he did not have enough confidence in the combined battalion.
The division commander will make corresponding changes to the next deployment based on Chen Jun’s feedback.
For example, a combined battalion can be directly put into operation.
Let time continue to test the combined company and wait until we are confident enough before launching it.
If Chen Jun showed abnormal excitement, he would really think that he was about to lead a combined battalion and patted his chest to guarantee that he could do it.
The teacher will also make a different judgment if the mentality is so frivolous and overly anxious.
Stability is the first quality of the army!
Chen Jun knew what the commander's intention was, so he naturally would not make a mistake. After quickly analyzing the situation in his mind, he immediately came up with the most appropriate answer.
"Commander, I was able to successfully build a combat-capable composite company without any practice or reference.
Now that we have the experience of the combined company as a foundation, I am definitely confident in building a combined battalion.
However, I think it is still a bit too early. After all, the combined company has not been tested in a major war, and company-battalion level confrontations are not enough to fully verify the results.
So, that’s what I think.
Since the group army's reform test exercise will be our regiment's turn in the next few months, it will be the perfect examination venue.
If the combined company can withstand the pressure and complete the task in this assessment, and does not expose fatal flaws under high pressure.
When the time comes, I think it will be more scientific and prudent to consider the formation of a combined battalion.”
Chen Jun's words were perfect, highlighting his affirmation of personal ability and his humble character, while also considering the overall situation. He had such a stable character at such a young age, coupled with Chen Jun's amazing talent.
The commander laughed!
He smiled as if he had found a treasure, and his eyes were full of love for it.
After solving the two most worrying problems, I have a sufficient understanding of Chen Jun's personality, character, talent and other aspects.
The division commander completely trusted Chen Jun and no longer had any other thoughts.
The topics discussed in the remaining time are relatively easy.
The two had an in-depth exchange and discussion mainly on the creation of combined forces and related content such as contract tactics.
The commander took the opportunity of the exchange to ask Chen Jun about the points he didn't understand in the theory.
Even though he was just a lieutenant, the division commander did not put on airs, but was willing to learn from his juniors and seek advice with an open mind.
This was Chen Jun’s first private communication with his commander, and he was also impressed by his character.
Nowadays, leaders and officials all have airs. Even if they are not the kind of arrogant people, most of them cannot let go of their face.
However, teachers do not have these problems and will humbly ask for advice when they don’t understand something.
It reflects the most perfect side of him as a leader.
At the same time, through in-depth communication with teachers, Chen Jun also learned a lot from them, which made his own insights grow more profoundly.
Although the division commander did not understand the joint tactics, he had been leading troops for more than twenty years after all.
After discussing with Chen Jun what he had understood over the years and what he had experienced in leading troops, he was able to give Chen Jun some inspiration.
Live and learn.
This also applies to the military.
No matter how many lives Chen Jun has lived now, he is working hard to grow every minute and every second, and not slacking off just because he is capable enough.
That's how people are.
This is even more true for tactics.
Contract tactics are not static, and combined forces are not static forever.
Even in the 21st century, when contract tactics have become popular and are no longer a rarity, they are still constantly changing, and the organization and composition of combined forces is still constantly changing.
The distinction between medium and heavy combined forces was born after maturity.
Chen Jun needs to continuously and long-term optimize and reform the synthetic combat system to make the contract tactics more superior and the system more perfect.
During the conversation with the teacher, Chen Jun's abundant knowledge reserves shocked the teacher, and his speech was well-organized and independent.
The teacher was also surprised.
Such an all-round and almost perfect young cadre made the division commander think of that word in his heart -
A genius that only appears once in a century!
It was because of this conversation with the division commander that Chen Jun conquered the division commander with his personal strength and received an unexpected surprise -
Congratulations on being promoted to deputy company commander!!
Originally according to Chen Jun's personal plan, it would be a great achievement for him to be promoted to deputy company commander after the mountain military exercise, which was already the ceiling of his plan.
Unexpectedly, less than a week after I finished talking with the division commander, I received news from the regiment.
The instructor ran to the playground excitedly, called Chen Jun, who was leading the training, aside, and said excitedly with a face full of joy: "Platoon Leader Chen, there is an order from the regiment, asking you to go to the regiment political department immediately."
"Go to the regiment's political department? What do you mean?"
When Chen Jun heard that he was going to the Political Department, coupled with the instructor's excited face, he was a little confused.
The main thing is that it happened too suddenly!
"Good news! Very good news!"
Instructor Hong Xingguo said excitedly: "I was also very puzzled at first, so I called to ask for you, and got some great news.
I heard that the division commander was very satisfied with your outstanding performance in the confrontation exercise and the theory you wrote.
The division commander has personally approved a note for you. This time when you go to the regiment, you will most likely be promoted, most likely to be a deputy company commander.
Being promoted from platoon leader to deputy company commander in just one year really opened my eyes. I congratulate you in advance."
In addition to happiness, there was also a hint of envy that was hard to conceal in Hong Xingguo's eyes.
He had only been in the company for a year and a half in total, but he had already become the deputy company commander. This promotion speed was really exaggerated, like riding a rocket.
To see how exaggerated it is, you can compare it with Gaocheng.
As a man whose father is the head of the group army, he has to work as a platoon leader for a year before he can become a deputy company commander, and then as a deputy company commander for a year before he can become a company commander.
Chen Jun has no background or connections, but his upgrade speed is almost catching up with Gao Cheng.
This comparison shows how exaggerated the speed is.
No wonder the instructor is envious!
"Really or not, so fast?"
Chen Jun, who thought that he could get the position of deputy company commander only by performing well after competing with Old A, was really overjoyed when he suddenly heard the news.
"It's almost certain. Lao Gao asked me to call you. He has gone to prepare the car. Let's go quickly."
Hong Xingguo urged and pulled Chen Jun away.
When the two men arrived at the gate of the 7th Steel Company, Gao Cheng, who had already prepared the car and was driving it himself, waved to Chen Jun through the car window and shouted, "Platoon Leader Chen, hurry up, hurry up, come on, get in the car and go."
Judging from the excitement on Gao Cheng's face, I would have thought he had been promoted to deputy battalion commander.
Chen Jun thought that he could be promoted to deputy company commander so quickly, half a year ahead of schedule, which proved that the evolution of the combined forces division could also be advanced by at least less than half a year.
At this moment, the fire of excitement has already ignited in his heart.
"Come on, come on."
Chen Jun walked a little faster than usual, rushed over, opened the car door and got in.
"Hoo~~"
Gao Cheng stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.
"Hey, what's going on? Why is the instructor so happy as if he is going to be a father, and the company commander and Platoon Leader Chen are also in such a hurry?"
Chengcai was on duty at the gate today and was completely confused by what was happening before his eyes.
