Chapter 329: Exaggeration! A 29-year-old leader?
Commander Lin and Brigade Commander Hong are really greedy for Chen Jun.
Before the 7th Steel Battalion came to Zhurihe for the exercise, Commander Lin had already heard of Chen Jun's name for a long time and was well aware of Chen Jun's various amazing actions.
This was the first time that Brigade Commander Hong was the commander of a combined forces unit, and he was nervous before coming to Zhurihe to take up his post.
In order to lead this combined brigade well and make its way on this unfamiliar track, Brigade Commander Hong spent a lot of time and effort doing a lot of homework.
Chen Jun, the "evil spirit" who had established a combined company three years ago, became the key target of Brigade Commander Hong.
After studying the various plans submitted by Chen Jun, Brigade Commander Hong read through all the theories on combined forces and combined tactics.
The result was that the more I looked at her, the more astonished I became, and the more I couldn't let go of Chen Jun.
If there was no real reason to recruit people, Chen Jun would have been quite famous in the group army, while the Zhurihe base had just started out and had no capital, and lacked the conditions to forcibly recruit people.
Brigade Commander Hong would go there personally and bring Chen Jun to the First Blue Army Brigade to take up the post.
Work together to create the strongest combined brigade.
Now Zhurihe has finally taken shape and has sufficient capital to extend an olive branch, and Chen Jun has also come to the Zhurihe base.
This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it for at least ten years.
How could Brigade Commander Hong and Chief Lin give up so easily?
Even though Chen Jun clearly refused politely, Commander Lin did not give up and continued, "Comrade Chen Jun, excessive modesty is pride. If you are still just a small talent, then we don't need to do it, Brigade Commander Hong, don't you think so?"
Commander Lin livened up the atmosphere with a joking tone, allowing Chen Jun to feel his sincerity.
Brigade Commander Hong naturally cooperated highly and flattered him openly, saying, "Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, I have studied you for nearly three years, and I have read all your theories about combined forces in detail.
Your military attainments and talents are unprecedented in my life. I am very sure and certain that you are a man of great talent.
An eagle needs a vast space to spread its wings, and you also need a large enough platform to realize your ambitions.
Zhurihe is the largest contract tactical base in the entire army and in Asia. Only in this place can you, the eagle, spread your wings and soar. "
Brigade Commander Hong had a very high opinion of Chen Jun, which was enough to make a brigade commander put aside his status and praise him so highly.
Today’s era background...
I'm afraid it's only Chen Jun!
Chief Lin and Brigade Commander Hong expressed their opinions one after another, both highly affirming Chen Jun's abilities, and their sincerity was truly at its maximum.
If there were no ties with the 7th Steel Company, Chen Jun would really have agreed.
Being highly recognized by the leaders of the base, Chen Jun will definitely be able to give full play to his abilities here and transform all he has learned throughout his life into combat effectiveness.
However, the promise had already been made, and the Seventh Company and its brothers had become a shackle to Chen Jun.
Therefore, no matter how good the conditions offered were, Chen Jun would never be the one to betray his old friends for a better future.
So Chen Jun calmed down, raised his hand to salute, and then said solemnly: "Two leaders, I am very happy to be recognized by you. This is also the honor of my life.
But from the first day I joined the Seventh Company, my destiny has been closely linked with it. There lies not only my honor and mission, but also my brothers and family.
Zhurihe is indeed a good place, but it is no longer my destiny. If there is a next life, I will definitely come here."
Chen Jun's words were very decisive. Commander Lin and Brigade Commander Hong were stunned for several seconds, unable to believe that Chen Jun would really refuse.
Anyone can understand that under the tide of information reform, joining Zhurihe is equivalent to stepping on the crest of the wave. One's military career will definitely be smooth sailing, and one may even have the opportunity to reach a level that ordinary people dare not even think about.
However, Chen Jun was able to resist the temptation, and gave up the huge wealth that was already in his mouth, insisting on guarding his "three-acre land" in the small place.
Not to mention Commander Lin and Brigade Commander Hong, even Man Guangzhi couldn't understand it.
If the people here were not all high-ranking leaders, he would not have the qualifications to speak at all. Man Guangzhi would definitely stand up and give Chen Jun some good advice.
Don't miss such a good opportunity.
Commander Lin endured for several seconds, his eyes full of regret and unwillingness, and decided to give it one last try, pulling out all his cards.
"Chen Jun, I admire your integrity, but for the development of the army, I still want to fight for it.
Information and digital reforms are inevitable, and combined forces will inevitably be promoted throughout the army. This big ship needs a suitable helmsman.
Lead everyone to rush into the wave of the times, overcome all obstacles and create the king's team of the new era.
I think you are the most suitable person to take charge, and I believe that with your joining the Zhurihe base, the entire army will surely grow rapidly.
Of course, I won't force you, everything must be based on your own will.
My ability is very limited, and I cannot give you too many privileges. I can only promise you here that as long as you agree to join Zhurihe, I can let you lead a battalion and enjoy the treatment of a deputy regimental commander.
And within three years, I will ensure that you will be promoted to deputy brigade commander and have operational command authority."
When Chief Lin said this, not only did Man Guangzhi gasp, but even the person involved, Chen Jun, was shocked by the conditions.
He has only been the deputy battalion commander for half a year, but now he can become a deputy regimental-level battalion commander with just a nod.
This is equivalent to skipping two levels!
Combined with the fact that he had been promoted four levels before, and this jump of two levels, it means that Chen Jun was promoted six levels in just one year.
Being promoted from company commander to deputy regiment commander sounds amazingly exaggerated.
I'm afraid that even if I tell others, few people will believe it.
After all, Chen Jun had been a soldier in his previous life, and he had never encountered such a thing as being promoted six levels in one year, let alone happening to him.
To say I'm not moved.
That must be false.
But as a responsible adult, it is basic to restrain your inner desires and impulses. Grass that bends when the wind blows is destined not to grow high.
So even though his heart was pounding, Chen Jun did not agree immediately.
Even though the emperor was not anxious, the eunuch Man Guangzhi was so anxious that he couldn't hold his temper for Chen Jun and quietly grabbed the corner of Chen Jun's clothes and pulled it.
It hinted to Chen Jun that he should agree quickly and not miss out on this great opportunity.
Chen Jun is only a few months away from turning twenty-six. Even with Gao Cheng's second-generation military background in the original plot, he was only able to become a deputy battalion commander at the age of twenty-six.
Now, as long as Chen Jun nods, he can become a deputy regimental-level cadre at the age of 26.
Moreover, he was able to become a regimental-level cadre at the age of 29, less than 30 years old, and a regimental-level cadre of a combined force.
A 29-year-old team leader, this... he is so fierce that I can't even describe him.
It’s just crazy!
If he continues at this pace, he will definitely have a chance to become the youngest military general since the founding of the country.
No wonder Man Guangzhi was completely overwhelmed and didn't care that there were two leaders watching him. He privately made small moves to persuade Chen Jun.
And Chief Lin has really put all his efforts into making such a big promise.
In order to win over Chen Jun, he revealed all his past experience.
If Chen Jun agreed, Chief Lin would probably have to pay a heavy price to fulfill his promises.
However, even if it costs a lot, Chief Lin feels it is well worth it.
Therefore, he looked at Chen Jun with expectation.
The conversation had already reached this point, and Brigade Commander Hong was no longer qualified to interrupt, but this did not affect his expectant look at Chen Jun.
Moreover, Brigade Commander Hong felt that Chen Jun would definitely agree, as such favorable conditions were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, amidst everyone's eager gazes, Chen Jun's firm belief did not waver in the slightest and he was not changed at all by external temptations.
Still speaking forcefully and neither servilely nor arrogantly, he said: "A deputy regiment commander in his twenties and a regiment commander in his early thirties, it is indeed impossible not to be moved..."
When Chen Jun said this, Commander Lin and Brigade Commander Hong both smiled.
I thought Chen Jun would agree.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun suddenly changed the subject, frowned and said: "We have a saying in the Seventh Steel Company, which is "Never give up, never abandon". This is the soul of our Seventh Steel Company and also the backbone of our Seventh Steel Company.
If a superior orders a forced transfer, the soldier must obey the order, there is nothing to say.
But if I were allowed to make the choice myself, even if there was only a slight chance, I would not abandon my comrades or my old unit.
Once I am a member of the 7th Steel Company, I will be one for life, and I will share the glory and disgrace with it."
Chen Jun's words were full of righteousness, and his innocent heart was as hot as a flame. Everyone present was infected and their eyes changed significantly.
Commander Lin and Brigade Commander Hong were especially impressed by Chen Jun's integrity, no matter how much they wanted him.
Man Guangzhi, who had always been influenced by Chen Jun and regarded Chen Jun as his idol, completely became Chen Jun's little fan.
The Red Army's ghost-fearing man who would become famous throughout the army in the future was a ruthless man who made a name for himself by "flattening Zhurihe and capturing Man Guangzhi alive."
At this moment, his eyes were full of admiration.
Chen Jun took in all the changes in everyone's eyes, and seeing that Chief Lin's thoughts had wavered, he immediately played his last trump card.
"Two leaders, I am truly sorry for failing to live up to your kindness. To express my apology, I can recommend you a talented person. He is indeed inferior to me now, but he has unlimited potential in the future. With time and training, he may not be inferior to me in the future."
Chen Jun's eyes sparkled as he spoke, and his words were full of affirmation and confidence.
The two leaders were shocked when they heard this, and their expressions changed suddenly at the same time.
"Comrade Chen Jun, since you have made up your mind, I can't force you. But I am very curious, can you really recommend such a person? If there is such a person, how could Commander Hong and I not know about him?"
Chief Lin actually had expectations, but his instinct made him not believe it.
I thought it was just a polite remark made by Chen Jun to give them a way out after he made an excuse for the invitation, so I didn't take it seriously at all.
"Well, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, since you are not interested in this, let's forget about it. It's almost time. Let's go have a simple meal together. Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have friendship. We will have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future."
The Red Brigade Commander stood up as he spoke, and also did not believe what Chen Jun said.
Everyone can see how strong Chen Jun is. Anyone who can grow to Chen Jun's level in the future must be famous now.
As members of the contract tactical base, it is impossible for them to have missed such a talent.
Only Man Guangzhi, who had been silent, seemed to realize something after hearing Chen Jun's words. He was suddenly frightened, his mouth half open, and his eyes full of panic.
Chen Jun boasted so loudly in front of the leader, how could Man Guangzhi not feel under great pressure.
"Two leaders, don't be impatient."
Chen Jun stopped the two leaders who were about to leave, pointed at Man Guangzhi who was brought over, patted his chest and guaranteed: "The person I'm talking about is him. I dare to assure the two leaders that his potential is stronger than what I said."
"really?"
Chief Lin gave Chen Jun face and did not leave, but he still had serious doubts.
"Realer than real gold."
Chen Jun nodded affirmatively, and then introduced: "He graduated from the National University of Defense Technology with a bachelor's degree and a postgraduate degree from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences. He has high professional qualities and solid basic skills.
During his tenure as chief staff officer of the 7th Steel Battalion, he devoted himself to study and practice, and was also willing to ask questions from those below him. From the battalion commander to the soldiers, everyone was his role model, and he made rapid progress in all aspects.
In order to study joint tactics and combined forces, he would hang around me whenever he had free time, learn from me with an open mind, and learned a lot of real skills from me.
The reason why he is not well-known now is mainly because he has monopolized more attention than me.
Under my command and the leadership of Battalion Commander Gao Cheng, the 7th Steel Battalion has covered every aspect, and he has never had the opportunity to display his lifelong talents.
So, I think, instead of letting him be buried in the 7th Steel Battalion and unable to apply what he has learned throughout his life, it is better for him to come to Zhurihe to lend a helping hand to the two leaders.
He has now learned five of my skills. With his high intelligence and hardworking and diligent character, his future growth is absolutely immeasurable.
With him joining the Zhurihe base, it will definitely not be much worse than with me joining it."
Chen Jun finished his speech and said earnestly, "Two leaders, I guarantee with my personal integrity that I have never said anything boastful. This is my recognition of Comrade Man Guangzhi.
I hope you can accept Man Guangzhi, give him the space to display his talents, and let your Zhurihe have one more talented general.
This is a win-win situation and is really worthy of the two leaders’ serious consideration.”
Man Guangzhi went to the 7th Steel Battalion right after he graduated from the research institute. He really had no fame at all outside, and Chief Lin really had no interest in him.
But after listening to Chen Jun's introduction, I actually became interested.
In particular, Chen Jun emphasized that Man Guangzhi was trained by Chen Jun personally and had already learned five of Chen Jun's skills, which impressed him the most.
Since we can't get Chen Jun, the seeded player, we can get someone recommended by a seeded player.
Seems like a good idea.
It can be considered as not trying hard.
