Chapter 241: Thought He Won Big, But Lost Miserably!!
Chen Jun received the division headquarters notification without any panic, and after arriving at division headquarters and meeting the division commander, he made no embellishments and gave a truthful report in full detail.
The division commander frowned after listening.
He truly hadn’t expected this new battalion commander Sun Dongping to go after Chen Jun just to establish his own footing and assert authority.
It must be known that Chen Jun was a great meritorious official of the combined arms battalion; without Chen Jun, there would be no pilot combined arms battalion this time.
Sun Dongping, as battalion commander, could do anything in the combined arms battalion to assert authority and control, but the one thing he absolutely shouldn’t do was kick out Chen Jun.
Even as a division commander who had seen great storms, his mentality was already sufficiently steady and mature.
Upon learning that Sun Dongping was targeting Chen Jun so much, the division commander couldn’t help but frown, feeling very uncomfortable inside and very dissatisfied with Sun Dongping.
In contrast, Chen Jun, even when targeted like this, could still handle it calmly.
The gap between Sun Dongping and Chen Jun was really too big.
No comparison, no harm!
With Sun Dongping’s immature mentality, if what Chen Jun said was indeed true, the division commander felt he was still a few degrees short of the heat needed to lead the combined arms battalion.
For the sake of the matter needing sufficient evidence, it couldn’t rely solely on one side’s words.
The division commander immediately called the Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment, transferred to Regiment Commander Wang’s office, and asked this highest chief officer once again about the ins and outs.
Regiment Commander Wang was already very annoyed with Sun Dongping and wasn’t someone who could hold back his emotions.
He immediately used a very dissatisfied tone and voice to tell the division commander all the bizarre behaviors Sun Dongping had made in the combined arms battalion over these two months, in full detail, and directly expressed that Sun Dongping was not suitable to be battalion commander.
The division commander realized this matter was very serious, relating to whether the combined arms battalion could ultimately pass acceptance, and he must take it seriously.
So he then found the regiment political commissar to inquire.
The answer obtained was about the same; no one added oil or vinegar, and the true development of events could basically be confirmed.
It was Sun Dongping stirring up trouble.
The division commander had been moved by Chen Jun’s combined arms battalion idea back then, and to fight for this pilot combined arms battalion until it finally landed.
A lot had truly been paid in between.
Not to mention running his legs off up and down, at least a lot of energy had been spent.
At the same time, great hopes had been invested, treating the combined arms battalion as the greatest opportunity of his life, wanting to reach new heights in life through it.
Seeing this major matter into which he had poured so much effort being stirred into a mess by Sun Dongping, if not intervened and controlled, it would be ruined.
The division commander reassured Chen Jun to go back first; he would definitely handle the matter well.
Then he called the person involved, Sun Dongping, to division headquarters, making Sun Dongping explain face-to-face what had happened recently in the combined arms battalion.
The division commander originally thought Sun Dongping would realize his mistake, after all, he had been called to division headquarters for direct questioning.
Who would have thought Sun Dongping didn’t realize the problem at all.
In front of the division commander, he firmly answered that all his arrangements were fine, with no selfish motives, not specifically targeting anyone, entirely for the development of the combined arms battalion.
Moreover, he believed he had sufficient ability to train up the combined arms battalion’s combat effectiveness.
He even boasted…
With the experience he learned from studying abroad, plus his own soldier-training ability, to let China have a combined arms battalion comparable to Europe and America’s.
To make the pilot combined arms battalion the foremost reform pacesetter unit in the entire army in informatization reform.
Sun Dongping’s tone was very grand, and his confidence very inflated.
But the division commander couldn’t be happy after hearing it.
Unlike Chen Jun, who every time he stated something, the premise was having presentable results there, then he would speak of his goals.
For example, first showing military strength in the martial arts competition, then using the pen to show his theoretical strength, before proposing the combined arms company idea.
And it was precisely the combined arms company’s great victory that led to proposing the formation of a larger-scale combined arms battalion later.
This was one ring tightly linked to another, step by step solidly walked, making people feel reassured just looking at it.
In contrast to Sun Dongping standing before him, the latter completely only had a mouth.
He had no actual combat results, no specific soldier-leading cases, not even able to write complete theory and papers.
Just relying on that mouth babbling there, boasting about his time at National Defense University and abroad.
This pure mouth-style claiming how great he was had no difference from bragging, making it impossible to convince oneself to believe.
The division commander was originally a doer, most annoyed by this mouth style.
Originally wanting to severely criticize Sun Dongping through this, tell him not to mess around with various things anymore, not to intervene in training, let Chen Jun lead the soldiers.
To let this wave of turmoil he stirred up be eliminated with minimal influence.
But Sun Dongping wouldn’t admit fault at all, firmly believing he was right, and even confidently saying with his ability he could bring out the entire army’s best combined arms battalion.
This directly blocked back the words the division commander wanted to say, unable to speak.
If it were the division’s own organization inside the division, the division commander would definitely tell him to stay wherever he was resting, and replace with a new battalion commander to take over.
Let all matters return to the right track, continue with Chen Jun leading the combined arms battalion.
Unfortunately, Sun Dongping this battalion commander’s background was not ordinary, and he was personally selected by the group army through an exercise, defeating opponents with strength.
Equivalent to selected by the group army; the division had no right to remove him at all.
This was trouble!
The division commander, seeing Sun Dongping couldn’t be reasoned with, could only sternly warn him not to stir up other things, to put more mind on the troops, and let him go back.
Then he sent a report to the group army inside, writing all the ins and outs on it.
Finally, in the report, he strongly proposed how important Chen Jun was in the combined arms battalion, and if there was conflict, suggested replacing with a new battalion commander.
Originally thinking the superiors would listen a bit, but the group army’s reply document was very simple.
The general meaning was that training had already been two months, the third stage totally just six months time, two more months and the first acceptance work would be carried out.
Whether Sun Dongping was suitable as battalion commander wasn’t for anyone to decide; everything spoke with results.
When the first acceptance came, everything would be clear.
And the combined arms battalion’s acceptance indeed had two times; the first acceptance was equivalent to a baseline exam, normally after four months training there would be basics.
Not to say forming complete initial combat effectiveness, at least able to show something different.
The second acceptance was the real one.
At that time, the military region would organize an exercise, and a large-scale one, throwing the combined arms battalion in to test its combat capability.
The first acceptance although not a do-or-die, was also a very key test.
From this document, it could be seen that Sun Dongping’s background was indeed very strong; someone above in the military region was still protecting Sun Dongping.
If two months later in the first acceptance, the combined arms battalion personally led by Sun Dongping could produce satisfactory answers and results.
Then no matter how much outside dissenting opinions, Sun Dongping could steadily sit in the battalion commander position.
If Sun Dongping couldn’t produce satisfactory answers, there would definitely be further handling then.
But what specific handling would be done, the document didn’t give any advance hint, currently still an unknown.
After the division commander read the document’s content, he sat there without movement for a long time.
Because he had already realized…
The military region had already made its stance.
He as one division commander couldn’t change anything.
What could be done now was just wait, wait until the first acceptance two months later.
…
Chen Jun here received the division commander’s reassurance, but his time in the troops was even longer than the division commander’s, and he held no hopes.
Thus he very calmly returned to the company, starting to An Xin do his special reconnaissance company company commander job.
Just needing to wait less than two more months, he believed he would get the answer he wanted.
On the other side, Sun Dongping was called to division headquarters, but the division commander had no way to do anything to him, and upon returning, he didn’t find any disciplinary action.
This made Sun Dongping think what he did was right, and he had already received recognition from the military region leader.
The last concerns in his mind were completely cast aside.
As the saying goes:
If you want to make it perish, first let it go mad.
Sun Dongping had no more concerns, completely treating the combined arms battalion as his own thing, starting his hegemony-style strong leadership.
Thinking that in the following time, he could have the final say in the combined arms battalion.
But unexpectedly.
It wasn’t as he thought.
When Sun Dongping ordered the cancellation of salary subsidy, it was equivalent to the last straw that broke the camel’s back, completely igniting the anger of the combined arms battalion warriors.
Whether company commanders or the warriors below, They didn’t really want that few dozen yuan.
But Sun Dongping’s strong cancellation of the subsidy, and the reason was that superior attitude, equivalent to negating the warriors’ contributions, negating the warriors’ efforts, making everyone into tools for his training.
Warriors could sweat on the training ground, could shed blood for the country on the battlefield.
But they couldn’t shed blood and sweat and still be trampled!
So in the combined arms battalion’s five companies, four companies’ company commanders put on the same pair of pants, and the vast majority of warriors twisted into one rope.
They couldn’t openly resist superior orders, so they yin-yang and play tricks in secret.
Combined arms battalion combat effectiveness or whatever, pilot acceptance or whatever.
No one cared anymore!
Everyone only knew one thing: if you deliberately make us nauseous and uncomfortable, then you also don’t think about sitting comfortably in the battalion commander position.
The training plans Sun Dongping made, the various training mission orders he issued.
The company commanders below all accepted them.
Without any opposition!
When Sun Dongping was there, they didn’t play tricks, just followed the rules, doing what should be done, training as he said.
Everything just as Sun Dongping said, who let him be battalion commander, his words carry the most weight.
But as soon as Sun Dongping wasn’t there, everyone treated his training plan as fart and let it go, all training according to the plan Chen Jun left before.
Even though Chen Jun was no longer training staff officer, everyone only recognized Chen Jun’s training plan.
Just secretly going against him, and incidentally making Sun Dongping nauseous.
Sun Dongping was actually quite smart, his stratagems and intelligence quotient were there, and soon he discovered that the people below were yin-feng-yang-wei with him.
But with only one person, no cloning spell, impossible to specifically watch all companies.
This made him very headache.
Also realized that grassroots companies weren’t as easy to lead as he thought.
To correct the cadres and warriors below the combined arms battalion for yin-feng-yang-wei against him this battalion commander, Sun Dongping spent several days, finally thinking of a method to rectify.
That was to conduct an assessment every week, those whose training subjects results didn’t meet standard would “be punished”.
Originally thinking this method could correct the “improper trend”, make the warriors and cadres below afraid because of it, obediently train as he said.
But in the end, no one paid attention!
When a week ended and assessment day came, in the combined arms battalion’s five companies, except the electronic warfare company, the other four were all unqualified.
Even the electronic warfare company was barely qualified, distance to excellent was ten thousand miles.
Sun Dongping, being strong-willed and extremely face-conscious, seeing this situation, of course anger rose from heart, immediately wanting to issue notification criticism to the four unqualified companies.
If next time still not corrected, would give warning disciplinary action to those with unqualified training results.
But Sun Dongping was just a battalion commander, had no right to directly handle companies below, could only send the report to the regiment.
But Sun Dongping seemed to have forgotten one thing, and a very serious thing.
That was the four companies he wanted to handle were all originally the most excellent main force companies of the Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment, each one the regiment commander’s treasure.
And Regiment Commander Wang himself had his own emotions, and was a regiment commander who extremely cherished officers and soldiers.
How could he bear it?
Therefore, to take care of Sun Dongping’s battalion commander identity, and for the overall situation, couldn’t directly reject.
Regiment Commander Wang thought of a compromise method, took down the report, said he knew about this matter, then let Sun Dongping go back and wait for notification.
This wait naturally had no result.
It was also from this moment that Sun Dongping began to realize something was off.
Originally thinking as long as kill the chicken to warn the monkey with Chen Jun, could make the combined arms battalion look to him as leader, thoroughly control the combined arms battalion.
Realized things seemed simpler than thought.
He this battalion commander dropped from sky to pick the fruit, wanting to kick out the locally grown Chen Jun was easy, but to control the combined arms battalion wasn’t that simple.
Troops below not cooperating with him in training, regiment leaders above completely ignoring him.
This made him suffer.
Clearly holding a battalion of troops in hand, actually became a bald commander, able to command only himself, couldn’t command others.
Sun Dongping at this time was very angry and annoyed, even with a bit of regret.
Thinking that the first acceptance was coming soon, among the five companies under him, four companies’ vast majority subjects results were still unqualified.
How could it pass acceptance?
If unable to pass acceptance, wouldn’t that mean his Sun Dongping’s ability had issue?
This was an elite company assembled entirely from non-commissioned officers, the warriors’ abilities and qualities definitely no problem, if can’t bring out, wouldn’t it all be the battalion commander’s problem?
