Chapter 231 The troublemaker who is at odds with the Chief of Staff!
Chapter 231 The troublemaker who is at odds with the Chief of Staff!
It is already exaggerated that Chen Jun has built an all-non-commissioned officer camp. Now there is only one such camp in the entire army.
On this basis, they were able to form an all-officer platoon, completing a god-level operation that was simply impossible to accomplish at the grassroots level and could be called a miracle.
Man Guangzhi and Ma Tianxiang were truly impressed, even though they had never met him before.
The accompanying staff were even more astounded!
They have all been in the army for quite some time. Even if they are not knowledgeable, they are experienced and are not the kind of rookies who just graduated from military academy.
But how could a district lieutenant have such great ability and accomplish so many great things in a short period of time?
They have never seen it!!
Chen Jun is the first and only one.
When the chief of staff saw that everyone was praising and admiring Chen Jun, he was very happy and his face was wrinkled with smile.
The chief of staff admired Chen Jun from the beginning and was the first to propose bringing him to the general staff.
Having witnessed Chen Jun's rapid growth along the way, his feelings for him far exceed those of an ordinary soldier, as if he were looking at his own child.
At his age of over 40, he can indeed be Chen Jun's father.
For the chief of staff, seeing his favorite and most admired young cadre being praised and admired by so many people is like praising his own child.
How can the mood not be beautiful!
However, just when the atmosphere was so good, some inappropriate voices suddenly popped up, and the point of criticism happened to be what everyone appreciated the most.
"Combined battalion plus special operations, that's just nonsense."
Sun Dongping's voice was not loud, but his fierce rebuttal, even with a hint of disdain, was like a bolt from the blue.
It is particularly easy to hear.
Everyone present, who was originally engaged in a heated discussion, was shocked by Sun Dongping's words.
Just two seconds.
Everyone present stopped discussing. The joy and excitement on their faces completely disappeared, replaced by confusion and bewilderment. They all looked at Sun Dongping who was speaking so arrogantly.
The chief of staff, who was originally in a good mood and full of smiles, saw the smile gradually disappear from his face.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked expressionlessly, "Captain Sun, you said special warfare is nonsense, then I would like to hear your opinion."
Sun Dongping didn't know whether he had low emotional intelligence or simply didn't care about other people's emotions.
Even though the Chief of Staff's face was full of unhappiness, Sun Dongping still did not restrain himself. He apologized and spoke frankly to try to smooth things over.
Still stubbornly said: "I spent a year in the combined forces in Europe, received systematic training, and learned the most cutting-edge contract tactics.
Whether it is a combined battalion, a combined regiment, a combined brigade or a combined division, I believe I still have a say.
The combined battalion is the most basic combined tactical unit. Its tactical positioning is the phalanx of corps combat, relying on the coordination of multiple arms to suppress the enemy.
Special operations are small-unit operations that carry out special combat missions behind enemy lines. Only at the regiment or brigade level can the significance of their existence be reflected.
It is completely worthless to put it in the combined battalion. The tactical system does not require a special operations team, and it will take up a lot of funds. In my opinion, it is a burden.
There are no so-called special operations platoons in the current combined forces battalions in Europe and the United States.
This has already proved that setting up a special operations platoon in a combined battalion is nonsense. It has no meaning other than sounding very impressive and making people feel that it is very great. It is just a superfluous trick. "
Sun Dongping's words sounded reasonable, and he kept talking about foreign combined forces.
In addition, he is a candidate for the commander of a combined battalion, and everyone present has more or less learned about him and knows how impressive his personal resume is.
Some of the officers present actually thought that what he said made sense.
The Chief of Staff and Captain Wang are really a family. They both have a protective nature and are very willing to watch Chen Jun's special warfare card being criticized to no avail.
He really couldn't help it!
He immediately responded with a straight face, "Captain Sun, it's amazing that you've studied abroad. You talk so well and convincingly.
I'm just curious and want to ask you, you have been abroad for so long, have you ever led a combined forces battalion?
If not, empty words still lack some meaning. After all, anyone can point fingers at you if you only talk.
In our 702nd Regiment, we all like to do practical things and never just talk. "
After all, the chief of staff is only a deputy regimental-level cadre, while Sun Dongping is now at the battalion-level. If he is promoted to a regular candidate, he will be at the same level as him.
It is really impossible to completely intimidate Sun Dongping, so the criticism can only be indirect.
"Practical work?"
Sun Dongping's eyes were gloomy, and he said confidently: "You will soon know whether I have the ability to do practical work. I will let everyone know what a real synthetic battalion is and what it means to fight in the information and digital age."
The chief of staff became even more unhappy when he heard this, and his face became even darker than before.
"I'm afraid we don't have to wait until then. Your top priority right now is not to let me see a real combined forces battalion, but to work hard to remove the word 'candidate'."
The Chief of Staff's words were making it clear that you, Sun Dongping, are just a candidate now, so don't speak too early.
After hearing this, Sun Dongping's face became even uglier.
Ma Tianxiang saw that something was not right. He knew that political workers were best at mediating conflicts, and he did not want to see conflicts break out within the combined battalion before it officially moved in.
So he quickly interrupted and said, "This is the first combined battalion in the entire army. It's a pilot project, and we are still groping forward. It's impossible to get every step right.
Only by identifying problems one by one and then solving them can we overcome difficulties and achieve success.
The pilot combined forces battalion is now full of talented people. I believe that as long as we work together and pull together, this pilot will surely be a great success."
Ma Tianxiang's words were very insightful and he did not choose to persuade either side.
Instead, a more advanced sublimation was adopted, bringing everyone to the same level with the goal of working together to create a combined battalion.
It implies that everyone is working towards building a combined forces battalion, and there is no need to damage the harmony with verbal disputes.
Sun Dongping is arrogant and proud, but he is not stupid.
Ma Tianxiang has been confirmed as the instructor of the combined battalion. In the future, he will also be the chief officer of the combined battalion and they will work together for a long time.
Moreover, since Ma Tianxiang was able to grab the position of instructor, his background must be no worse than Sun Dongping's.
Therefore, even if Sun Dongping did not take the chief of staff seriously, he had to give Ma Tianxiang some face and offend his future partner.
Besides, the chief of staff is from the regiment after all, so it would be disadvantageous for him to have a falling out as soon as they met.
After weighing the pros and cons, Sun Dongping had to stop arguing with the chief of staff. He did not continue to refute and turned his eyes away, pretending he did not hear.
The chief of staff did not expect Sun Dongping to be so strong that he even ignored him, a regimental staff officer.
I was really annoyed!
But considering that Sun Dongping does have the capital to be arrogant, and he comes from the military region with a background, who knows if there is some big boss backing him up behind him.
In addition, Sun Dongping had already turned off the engine on his own initiative, so he could be considered to have won a small victory.
The chief of staff did not continue, and forced Sun Dongping to explain clearly. Instead, he continued with Ma Tianxiang's words, welcoming everyone to join on behalf of the 702nd Regiment.
I also look forward to the concerted efforts of everyone to successfully complete the pilot mission of the military region. The chief of staff and the instructor were talking nonsense. In fact, the topic had been exhausted. In addition, the quarrel just now made the atmosphere feel wrong.
Therefore, everyone lost the mood to visit and quickly took a car back to the regiment headquarters.
Subsequently, under the arrangement of the Logistics Department, Ma Tianxiang, Sun Dongping and other people sent by the military region were allowed to temporarily stay in the regiment guesthouse.
Once the battalion commander is finally determined and the combined battalion officially moves in, they will move into the combined battalion headquarters.
After Sun Dongping and others were arranged to move in, the chief of staff was really angry. He felt more and more upset and angrily found the regiment commander.
He told Captain Wang everything that happened during the visit to the base.
"Old Yang, you have been in the army for quite some time, so I won't reveal some things to you. You should also understand that these people from the military region are not simple.
There are always troublemakers in the recruit company every year, especially for people like them. It's normal to have a few troublemakers. People with strong abilities are arrogant. Don't take it too seriously. The most important thing is to build a combined leadership team first."
Captain Wang was actually feeling quite uncomfortable, but he couldn't add fuel to the fire at this time.
We have finally managed to set up the combined battalion, and it must not be affected by anything. We must endure when we need to.
Not to mention the Chief of Staff.
Even he, the team leader, is the same!
The chief of staff was just feeling uncomfortable and wanted to find someone to talk to and vent his feelings, not that he really wanted the regiment commander to help him do anything.
Once it's out, all the anger has been vented.
He also understands the truth.
He then turned to ask Captain Wang, "Captain, now both candidates are in place, and the progress of personnel coordination is faster than expected.
There is still more than half a month before we move in. Before that, the commander of the combined battalion must confirm it.
Have you heard any news about this? When will the election for the commander of the combined battalion begin? And how will it be conducted? "
The question that the Chief of Staff wanted to know was actually the concern of the entire 702nd Regiment.
However, the military regions are too far apart, and even getting some gossip is difficult, so there is absolutely no information in this regard.
The reason why the chief of staff deliberately asked Captain Wang was mainly because he knew that Captain Wang and Captain Gao A were very familiar with each other.
If Captain Wang really used this relationship, it would be easy for him to get this information.
pity.
He is not a person who likes to use connections.
Otherwise, given the good friendship between him and Director Gao A, as long as he was willing to open his mouth and say a few words.
How could Captain Wang still be just a captain? Even if he was not transferred to work in the military district headquarters, he was at least a division-level cadre of a certain division.
After all, when Captain Gao A was the company commander, Captain Wang was the platoon leader under him.
The qualifications are definitely sufficient, all he lacks is luck and military merit.
Captain Wang didn't even use his personal relationships to handle his own important life events, so how could he possibly bother his old friends with such gossip?
Therefore, Captain Wang’s answer could only disappoint the Chief of Staff.
Captain Wang doesn’t know either!
However, the two did not wait too long. Seeing that the time for the combined battalion to move in was getting closer, not only the regiment was anxious, but the army group was also very anxious.
So ten days before moving in, the military district's documents finally arrived at the T Division headquarters.
The commander laughed after reading the document!
It feels quite interesting!
The core content of the document is only one, which is to select the battalion commander of the 702nd Regiment's combined battalion.
The interesting point is not the selection method. There is nothing particularly novel about this selection method. It still adopts the traditional confrontation.
It's just based on the traditional confrontation, with some slightly different adjustments.
Instead, there are clear requirements in the documents that the three troops participating in this confrontation cannot come from the same regiment, but must come from three separate regiments.
Moreover, the troops commanded by candidate Sun Dongping must come from outside the 702nd Regiment.
There is no specific requirement for which unit it should be, and the T Division will be responsible for making the arrangements.
The two candidates each lead a battalion to compete against each other to see who can capture the position guarded by a battalion first. Whoever captures the position first will win.
Requiring three battalions to come from three regiments sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.
But it is specifically pointed out that the troops commanded by Sun Dongping cannot be a battalion of the 702nd Regiment, which seems to be a bit wrong.
This is the interesting point!
The division commander had been in the army for most of his life. When he saw this request, he immediately realized that someone above him was intentionally trying to protect Sun Dongping.
They were worried that since Sun Dongping's troops came from the 702nd Regiment, some uncontrollable factors would arise in the confrontation with the candidates from the 702nd Regiment.
For example, the 702nd Regiment deliberately let their own people win, causing Sun Dongping to lose to the candidate of the 702nd Regiment.
It was precisely because of this factor that those who wanted to protect Sun Dongping wrote their demands on the document without any hesitation.
Hard to say.
It is very important to avoid suspicion, and this is indeed a reasonable request.
The division commander knew how the combined battalion pilot project came about. The only combined battalion commander he recognized was Chen Jun, and he only believed that Chen Jun could run the combined battalion well.
It is natural to think that no matter who is the battalion commander, it doesn’t make much difference.
They are all just decorations, Chen Jun is the core.
So even though he saw something strange in the document, he didn't take it too seriously, nor did he make any special arrangements. He just carried it out directly.
Troops were drawn from the 701st and 703rd Regiments to form a reinforced battalion.
A heavy reinforced battalion with complete equipment of infantry, tanks and artillery!
Then he notified Captain Wang of the 702nd Regiment and asked him to select a reinforced battalion of the same size from the regiment to participate in the next election confrontation exercise.
Finally, a suitable area was identified and planned as the exercise confrontation zone.
As the remaining time was tight, each regiment was given only five days to prepare, and the personnel had to be in place in the exercise area on the sixth day.
At eight o'clock in the morning on the seventh day, the confrontation exercise officially began.
The two candidates each lead a battalion. No matter what methods or tactics they use, whoever captures the green flag first will be the final winner.
