Chapter 225 You guys are fighting for the battalion commander, what does it have to do with me, Chen Jun?

Who will be the battalion commander of the combined battalion can be said to be the biggest suspense in the second phase.

The final result that Captain Wang wanted, except for the selfish desire to take care of his own family, was actually the same as Chen Jun's in all aspects.

Chen Jun is very confident that in this era, no one understands combined forces better than him.

So the one I fear most is “Brother Dong”!
With the vision and perspective of people of this era, as long as they are not completely convinced by Chen Jun, even if they know that the combined battalion is Chen Jun's masterpiece, they will still doubt Chen Jun, or they will not believe it.

We all live in the same environment, have access to the same information, and it’s the same general background. Why do you think what you say must be right?
Especially the more extraordinary the person's background, the more serious their doubts about Chen Jun will be.

We are all human beings, why am I not as good as him?
This sentence alone is enough to describe it!
If an airborne cadre really becomes a battalion commander, it proves that he is a capable person. The more talented a person is, the more ambitious he is and the more he is unwilling to lag behind others.

He and Chen Jun are complete strangers, so he must have similar thoughts.

Even if they knew in advance how outstanding Chen Jun was, and even if they would give Chen Jun enough respect on the surface, they would definitely compete with Chen Jun behind his back.

He could not tolerate that the first combined battalion commander in the entire army was stealing the limelight from his subordinate Chen Jun.

Chen Jun was concerned about this factor and also did not want to be the battalion commander of the combined battalion. In the end, he was replaced by the candidate sent by the group army.

I prefer to have a family member as the battalion commander.

So after having lunch with the team leader, we basically reached a consensus.

Chen Jun implicitly told Captain Wang that once the candidate for battalion commander in the regiment was selected, he would do his best to help him get the position of battalion commander.

If he knew how to select in advance, Chen Jun would be more confident.

It’s a pity that the final decision on how to select is in the hands of the group army, and it has never been released or announced.

This made Chen Jun feel uneasy, and he felt that this was not that simple.

But this is a matter for the group army, and Chen Jun is powerless with his current men. He can only ignore it for the time being and concentrate on selecting candidates.

After finishing the chat with Captain Wang, Chen Jun thought that the voting would be held tomorrow. He had nothing to do today, so he might as well go back to the 7th Steel Company.

It has been several months since I came out this time, and I really miss my old buddies from the Seventh Company.

As a result, just as he separated from Captain Wang outside the cafeteria, a jeep stopped in front of him and the door was quickly opened from the inside.

Because his height exceeded the roof of the jeep, Chen Jun couldn't see who was sitting inside the car.

I thought that Captain Wang had arranged it for him in advance so that he could take this car back to the 7th Steel Company. I was just chatting about something and forgot to tell him.

As a result, the person in the car spoke, which made him realize that things were not that simple.

"Comrade Chen Jun, are you going back to the Seventh Company? I just happened to run into you on my way to the battalion headquarters. How about taking my car? I can give you a ride along the way?"

The person who was talking in the car had leaned to the right, but Chen Jun was too tall and still couldn't see his face.

But Chen Jun could recognize it just by listening to the voice.

He is the battalion commander!

The headquarters of the 1st Battalion is on the north side of the base, and the barracks of the 7th Steel Company is on the east side of the base. The two are not completely opposite in direction, but at least they have nothing to do with each other.

Even Chen Jun seriously suspected that the battalion commander had been waiting nearby.

The intention of the battalion commander's move is very clear.

"As a battalion commander, he lowered himself to wait outside for more than an hour for me, the deputy company commander. He really took great pains."

Chen Jun didn't want to get on the bus at first, after all, he was a cadre of the second battalion.

But considering that the battalion commander had waited for so long, it would be too disrespectful to refuse him, and he would lose face, and there would be some grudges in their subsequent interactions.

So after a brief consideration, I decided to get on the battalion commander's car.

"Comrade Chen Jun, you really are a popular figure around the regiment commander. I have been in the 702nd Regiment for such a long time, but I have never had a private meal with the regiment commander. I am really envious of you."

The battalion commander was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world and did not go straight to the goal from the beginning.

Instead, I chose to chat first to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Chen Jun is also a person with very high emotional intelligence. Since the battalion commander didn't say anything, he wouldn't jump in and just started chatting with him.

The driver had obviously been given specific instructions, and he drove very steadily throughout the journey.

So stable that the speed is less than 20 kilometers.

There is no need to even try to identify it specifically. People familiar with the base can tell at a glance that his route is wrong.

I deliberately took a long detour from the outside just to delay time.

It was precisely because of the driver who was secretly stalling for time that the battalion commander was able to handle the matter with such ease and chat with Chen Jun for a long time before getting to the point.

Ask Chen Jun what he thinks and opinions on the candidates for the battalion commander of the combined battalion.

Chen Jun's answer was not directed at anyone. He just said what he thought and said very clearly: "I don't have too many opinions. As long as I can get the combined battalion up and running, don't give me too many opinions."

The battalion commander has a really high EQ and knows how to intercept Chen Jun halfway.

The IQ has not fallen behind either.

Although Chen Jun didn't say anything directly, he instantly heard from Chen Jun's words what kind of battalion commander Chen Jun wanted most.

To put it bluntly.

Chen Jun just wanted someone to not tell him what to do, just sit in his office and drink tea peacefully, and just lie down and accept the fruits of victory.

We don't need a good battalion commander who is hardworking, ambitious, smart and competitive.

The battalion commander was very self-aware. He knew very well how the combined battalion came about and knew that in this regard, Chen Jun's abilities were unmatched.

He became the battalion commander for the sake of results, not to lead the combined battalion to create a big "show".

He doesn't have the ability to lead it!
This means that he can be a perfect match with Chen Jun, there will absolutely be no conflicts between them, and he can allow Chen Jun to fully display his talents.

A battalion commander immediately seized on this point, using the idea of ​​each taking what they need as an entry point and began to say some suggestive words.

He firmly stated that if he could become the commander of a combined battalion, he would absolutely fully respect Chen Jun's decision.

It was even said that the post of training and operations staff officer at the combined battalion's headquarters should belong to Chen Jun.

This was equivalent to hinting to Chen Jun that if he could become the commander of the combined battalion, he would definitely find a way to get Chen Jun to the battalion headquarters as the training and operations staff officer.

As a deputy regimental-level unit, the chief staff of the combined battalion is at the standard battalion-level.

The battalion-level staff group, with the chief of staff as the core, usually has four major combat staff officers, including firepower, training, intelligence, and combat support, who are responsible for various aspects of work in the combined battalion.

Therefore, the four major combat staff officers in the combined battalion all started at the deputy battalion level.

This is equivalent to Chen Jun jumping directly from deputy company commander to deputy battalion commander, jumping two levels at once. The temptation is indeed huge.

Unfortunately, the battalion commander made a mistake in his calculations. He didn't expect that Chen Jun was not interested in this at all.

Because Chen Jun firmly believed that with his strength and ability, he did not need to worry about his military rank and position, and he would be promoted rapidly.

Do you still need help from others?

No need at all!
But then again, the battalion commander's statement that he would never interfere with Chen Jun's work, and his clear positioning still made Chen Jun quite satisfied. However, the undercurrent of candidates had just begun, and Chen Jun, as a key figure, could not express his position casually.

So even though the battalion commander said this, Chen Jun did not express any clear opinion, and just tried to fool people as much as possible.

After some Tai Chi in the urban area, the car finally arrived at the gate of the Seventh Company.

The battalion commander was unable to gain any support from Chen Jun, and he felt somewhat regretful, but it was something that could not be done and could not be forced.

Thinking that Chen Jun did not express any disgust, I felt psychologically comforted.

Chen Jun thought he had escaped the harassment of the battalion commander and could relax after returning to the big family of the Seventh Company. He sat down and chatted with Shi Jin, Gao Cheng and others.

There's no need to talk about big things, just chatting about life in the last few months is good enough.

Chatting with old friends is the best way to relax.

As a result, just as he stepped into the gate of the Seventh Company, "Tinplate", who was on duty today and had extremely sensitive ears and sharp eyes, came running over.

"Report to the deputy company commander, the battalion commander is waiting for you in the company commander's office. Let me notify you immediately when I see you. Go to the company commander's office."

Bai Tiejun had a lot to say to Chen Jun, but he had been ordered to do so and could only salute and report.

All her enthusiasm for welcoming Chen Jun home was turned into an intense look in her eyes, and she stared at Chen Jun with her round eyes.

"Okay, got it."

Chen Jun threw the luggage to Bai Tiejun, pinched his skinny face, then strode through the gate and went to the company commander's office on the second floor.

Bai Tiejun, who got Chen Jun's luggage, was as happy as if he had won five million.

He ran quickly to Chen Jun’s dormitory.

Chen Jun has an unparalleled reputation in the 7th Steel Company. The soldiers respect Chen Jun very much and want to do their best to repay Chen Jun.

For the soldiers, being able to help Chen Jun in any way is equal to an honor.

Chen Jun felt very relieved that Bai Tiejun, the little elf, could help with things like making the beds and tidying up the house.

But I just said goodbye to the first battalion commander half a minute ago, and now there is a second battalion commander waiting here.

Chen Jun felt a headache just thinking about it!
It is obvious that the position of the commander of the combined battalion and his position as a mere deputy company commander, Chen Jun, have nothing to do with each other and are from completely different worlds.

As a result, he was the busiest one, which made Chen Jun laugh and cry.

Unfortunately, the person who came was his old battalion commander. Even if Chen Jun was unhappy, he had to give him face out of social etiquette.

I could only shake my head to clear my mind, adjust my state of mind and go to Gao Cheng's office.

The three people who were chatting enthusiastically inside immediately shifted their focus when they saw Chen Jun come in. Even the second battalion commander stood up.

He took the initiative to come over and greet Chen Jun, with a smile on his face even more intense than that of a battalion commander.

As soon as he saw the smile on the face of the second battalion commander Li Fuguo, Chen Jun automatically jumped to the first battalion commander and understood what the content of the next conversation would be.

My head suddenly became bigger again!
Gao Cheng obviously anticipated what would be said next. He was not the type of person who liked to get involved in such things, so he gave Chen Jun a look that said "May the best of luck to you."

Then he said that there was some urgent matter in the company and left Chen Jun alone and slipped away.

Chen Jun was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

With the intervention of instructor Hong Xingguo, he could only pretend that the conversation with the first battalion commander had not happened and sat on the sofa to chat with the second battalion commander.

The content of the chat was just as Chen Jun had expected, the core issue was still about the commander of the combined battalion.

Even the content of what they said was almost the same.

They all asked Chen Jun about his thoughts in a roundabout way, then expressed their own attitudes indirectly, and finally assured him of their success as battalion commander.

Overall, it is basically the same as what the first battalion commander said. It is just a matter of rhetoric.

For example, the first battalion commander promised not to interfere with Chen Jun, while the second battalion commander expressed his full support for Chen Jun and gave Chen Jun the freedom to display his abilities.

He also proposed to invite Chen Jun to attend an internal dinner for officers of the Second Battalion tonight.

This is the core key!
The first battalion commander also invited Chen Jun to dinner, but Chen Jun politely declined. Now that the second battalion commander invited him, Chen Jun really couldn't refuse.

The reason why both battalion commanders invited Chen Jun to dinner is the most important core key.

The point is that as long as Chen Jun appears at the dinner table, it is equivalent to sending a signal to everyone, assuming that Chen Jun supports the battalion commander.

With Chen Jun's influence in the 702nd Regiment, he can definitely play a crucial role.

Not to mention the cadres who were eating together on the spot, even if this news was released and spread to other battalions, it would affect the decisions of the commanders of other battalions and companies.

after all.

The company commanders below were unable to compete for the position of commander of the combined battalion, so their most urgent need changed. They just wanted the 702nd Regiment to become stronger.

It is an indisputable fact that Chen Jun was able to lead the 702nd Regiment to become stronger.

With this fact as the major premise, if you follow Chen Jun to choose the final team, the candidate you finally choose will definitely not be wrong.

Chen Jun knew his influence, so he rejected the battalion commander at that time.

But faced with the kind invitation from his old battalion commander, since they had worked together for almost three years, Chen Jun really couldn't bear to refuse.

In addition, in the past few years since Chen Jun came to the 702nd Regiment, although the second battalion commander did not have any outstanding performance, he could at least be considered conscientious.

Chen Jun already knew the character and personality of the Second Battalion Commander.

Compared to other battalion commanders.

The second battalion commander is obviously a more suitable candidate, at least for Chen Jun.

So Chen Jun did not continue to refuse and accepted the invitation of the second battalion commander, which was equivalent to expressing his support for the second battalion commander as a candidate.

After receiving Chen Jun’s statement, the second battalion commander left the 7th Steel Company with satisfaction.

Chen Jun thought that this situation should be over, but later in the afternoon, the third battalion commander came over under the pretext of talking to Chen Jun about the artillery and air defense company of the combined battalion, and made it clear that he wanted to have a chat with Chen Jun.

Matters concerning the artillery and anti-aircraft company can be decided within the regiment. There is no need for him as the battalion commander to intervene. Coming here under this name is obviously a cover.

Chen Jun was really fed up with it and could only ask the company commander Gao Cheng to help him refuse.

Just say he is not in the company.

As a result, Gao Cheng's answer was more straightforward. He directly told the third battalion commander that Chen Jun was called to the battalion headquarters by the second battalion commander and there was something to discuss tonight.

Upon hearing that Chen Jun had already gone to the second battalion headquarters, the third battalion commander immediately frowned.

But it didn't happen.

Then he found an excuse and went back home the same way.

The news that Chen Jun went to the Second Battalion Headquarters spread quickly.

As the news spread, the undercurrent storm surrounding Chen Jun came to an end, and another more violent storm arrived.
