Chapter 229: This Kid’s Future Is Unlimited!
The 702nd Regiment is forming a combined arms battalion under the new establishment. Other units in T Division have always been very envious, only regretting that Chen Jun is not from their regiment.
Their hearts were so sour.
It was just like eating a green lemon.
Especially as the brother regiment 701st Regiment, whose garrison is right next to the 702nd Regiment, their mood during this period perfectly matched that old saying—
They don’t mind if their brothers live poorly; they just fear their brothers driving Land Rovers.
Seeing the 702nd Regiment thriving while their own regiment couldn’t even fart, with the gap to others growing wider, they felt even more upset.
On top of that, military reform has triggered a wave of demilitarization, with rumors of cutting two group armies’ troops.
Regiment Commander Yang and other regimental cadres of the 701st Regiment face immense pressure every day, fearing the demilitarization knife would fall on their heads.
T Division has only three armored infantry regiments in total, and now the 702nd Regiment has taken off.
If one has to be cut, it would definitely be selected from the remaining two regiments, with an elimination probability already as high as fifty percent.
At this critical moment when the entire regiment feels a deep crisis, Chen Jun now throws out such a big pie.
If Chen Jun can really do what he says, as long as the combined arms battalion passes the assessment, then at the latest by the end of next year, their 701st Regiment can also have a combined arms battalion.
Once they have a combined arms battalion under the new establishment, plus the contract tactics brought back by the returning non-commissioned officers.
Then the 701st Regiment’s combat effectiveness will rapidly climb in an extremely short time, smoothly boarding the high-speed train of informatization reform.
They won’t have to worry at all about their troops being demilitarized and having their designation revoked under military reform.
The benefits are so huge.
How could it not explode the 701st Regiment!!
“Commissioner Chen, are you serious about what you said?”
Regiment Commander Yang looked at Chen Jun with eyes full of excitement and disbelief, brimming with anticipation.
“As long as I said it, I will definitely stand by it.”
To further enhance persuasiveness, Chen Jun immediately added: “Even if the report doesn’t pass by then, I will fulfill my promise.
I will organize all the experience I have in building combined arms units, along with a complete set of system information I know, and send it all to you as repayment.
With this set of system information, you can completely replicate the combined arms battalion I built.”
With Chen Jun’s current status and fame, he is a golden signboard; his words are a guarantee, more reliable than signing a contract.
Under the dual guarantees of military region report and personal assurance, Regiment Commander Yang and others’ concerns were completely dispelled.
In order to have their own combined arms unit and smoothly board this high-speed train to become one of the frontrunners in informatization reform.
Regiment Commander Yang didn’t even consult with the regimental party committee squad leader privately again.
As if afraid Chen Jun would back out, he only had a brief communication with the political commissar and others before impatiently making the decision on the spot.
The 701st Regiment will follow the working group’s requirements and fully cooperate in coordinating all kinds of needed personnel.
Simply put.
Whoever they want, they get.
Originally thinking it would take a lot of effort over several days, with no confidence at all, Zhou Huimin and others were particularly surprised, even a bit uncomprehending, to see the 701st Regiment so decisive.
They couldn’t imagine that just because of a few words from Chen Jun, without even signing an agreement, the 701st Regiment completely changed its mind.
From initial resistance and obstruction to now eager positive cooperation.
In just a few minutes.
From one extreme to another.
If they hadn’t been sitting there watching the whole time, Zhou Huimin and other working group members wouldn’t believe the final result could be so dramatic.
Only Chen Jun in the whole audience could understand, because only his mind was clear.
The working group members including Team Leader Zhou Huimin, whether in the earlier combined arms company, the current combined arms battalion, or the battle records in the middle exercise.
They hadn’t contributed much, nor put in much effort.
It was all Chen Jun and Steel Seventh Company fighting!
It was basically like blowing a tornado; they just stood there doing nothing and were directly blown to the sky by the wind.
They just lay there flying all the way, becoming cadres in the first regiment in the entire army to build a combined arms battalion.
A typical case of being in bliss without knowing it.
Naturally, they couldn’t understand how anxious and envious the cadres in other regiments outside the 702nd Regiment felt seeing the 702nd Regiment take off while they could only watch helplessly from the side.
Also because the 702nd Regiment’s formation of the combined arms battalion came too easily.
For Zhou Huimin and his group, they were completely unaware throughout; it was Chen Jun figuring out methods, then suddenly receiving the notification to form the combined arms battalion, and finding themselves objects of envy.
They hadn’t made any effort the whole time; they were just pushed forward.
Precisely because they got it without effort, they couldn’t empathize and couldn’t understand other regiments’ craving and urgency for the combined arms battalion.
If they swapped places with the 701st Regiment people, they would probably be even more excited at this moment.
And as the 701st Regiment was persuaded by Chen Jun and willingly ate the big pie he drew, the first personnel coordination trip was successfully completed.
Next is the 701st Regiment cooperating with the working group, using the personnel list organized by Chen Jun, to go to various companies for personnel selection.
Including but not limited to combat companies, logistics company, guard communications company, cook platoon, and other units.
The selected personnel scope is broader, whether strong in military quality, good at driving, fast and delicious cooking, excellent vehicle repair skills…
As long as extremely outstanding in some field, they are all within Chen Jun’s designated elite soldier scope.
Because they had received instructions and orders from regiment headquarters, plus each company commander was called to regiment headquarters for an overnight emergency meeting.
Letting all company commanders know Chen Jun’s promise, all expecting their company to be the next combined arms company.
Or part of the combined arms battalion!
Steel Seventh Company’s battle records after becoming a combined arms company were no secret across the division; basically every company knew clearly.
Annihilating a peer main force company in two hours, half a day crossing levels to annihilate division direct reconnaissance battalion, dominating blue army in exercise, expanding to combined arms battalion in less than two years…
These eye-opening battle records had become objects of admiration for all company commanders.
With Steel Seventh Company as a living example, all companies in the division eagerly desired synthesis reorganization, every company fantasizing.
Now such a heaven-sent opportunity actually came; one can imagine how excited these company commanders were.
Attitudes did a complete one hundred eighty degree turn!
Before, they were afraid their company’s elite soldiers would be taken by the 702nd Regiment, holding them tightly, not wanting to let go of any.
Now it was the opposite.
Afraid the 702nd Regiment wouldn’t take their soldiers, wishing to send the entire company over.
Even though the military region order had only five quotas, each company was still vigorously promoting their own soldiers, trying to get as many as possible.
Because for every two soldiers sent out, one “synthesized” elite would come back.
If they could send a dozen or so at once, then the company could have seven or eight more elites; each elite training a squad could form a preliminary combined arms company.
It might even…
Their own company could become the 701st Regiment’s Steel Seventh Company.
Holding this beautiful vision and anticipation, the 701st Regiment’s company commanders pulled out all the stops.
To promote their own soldiers, some companies temporarily held on-site full-company assessments, just to let the 702nd Regiment’s working group see how excellent their soldiers were.
Other companies organized elite soldier information, each a thick stack delivered to the working group.
Even companies lining up later for selection, worried that the earlier ones would fill up the quotas leaving none for them, played a game of undercover.
Taking advantage of noon and evening rest times, they privately found the 702nd Regiment’s working group to recommend their company’s elite soldiers.
Asking the working group to send people to their company to see, fixing people during rest time.
If the working group had no time, no problem; as long as the working group nodded, he would immediately bring the company’s elite soldiers over.
Come on-site for inspection and on-site selection.
Seeing the 701st Regiment people so proactive, crazily promoting their own elite soldiers, working group members including Zhou Huimin had no choice but to be convinced of Chen Jun.
They had been in the troops for so many years and had never seen such a strange phenomenon.
Eagerly sending their companies’ best and most excellent soldiers to other companies was completely impossible in their cognition.
Yet just because of a few words from Chen Jun, the 701st Regiment’s company commanders were delighted to do so.
This was too damn weird.
Too damn unbelievable.
They never thought that if roles were swapped, they would be even crazier than the 701st Regiment people.
Precisely because the 701st Regiment had its innermost desired flame thoroughly ignited by Chen Jun’s few words, all enthusiasm stimulated.
Exceptionally cooperative in coordination work.
The personnel coordination and selection work, originally expected to take over half a month, was completed in just one week.
The timeline shortened by a full half.
And when the division commander learned that soldier selection was completed so quickly, with the main contributor still Chen Jun, and that he settled the hardest nut 701st Regiment in just a few minutes.
The division commander, who already admired Chen Jun immensely, couldn’t help but think of a phrase—
“This young man’s future is limitless!”
…
The 701st Regiment’s personnel transfer work went exceptionally smoothly, with influence soon covering 703rd Regiment, artillery brigade, division direct reconnaissance battalion, and other T Division units.
Informatization military reform targets the entire army, including all sea, land, and air troops.
All troops are striving in informatization military reform to find their reform direction to adapt to future new warfare forms.
The emergence of this new establishment combined arms battalion gave them all hope.
So after learning of Chen Jun’s guarantee to the 701st Regiment at their conference, other units were also moved.
Therefore, when the 702nd Regiment’s coordination working group arrived at the 703rd Regiment next.
The reception style completely changed!
Before the 702nd Regiment working group arrived, from afar they saw the regiment headquarters main entrance of the 703rd Regiment, with welcome teams lined up on both sides.
Next to them was a very professional military band, looking fully prepared.
As the working group’s convoy approached the gate, the military band immediately started playing, with various large and small horns plus drums, creating a majestic momentum.
The military band set the atmosphere, then a group of people walked out from inside the gate.
Leading was Two Stripes Three Regiment Commander Qiu.
Next to him were the political commissar and chief of staff, followed by various large and small cadres from regiment headquarters, with the team numbering at least twenty or more.
Paired with nearly a hundred welcome team members on both sides of the road, plus the military band playing.
This reception specification and level was sufficient even for the division commander, let alone a working group led by a deputy regiment commander.
Compared to the 701st Regiment’s downgraded reception, the 703rd Regiment’s was solidly super-spec.
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Huimin, seeing from the car the 703rd Regiment’s high-spec welcome ceremony, couldn’t help looking at Chen Jun in the passenger seat.
He knew this huge change was all due to the young man before him.
The inscrutable young captain!
Other working group members seeing this reception spec felt an unprecedented thrill, instantly becoming smug.
Soon.
The working group’s cars arrived at the gate, everyone got off, and under Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Huimin’s lead, walked toward the welcoming 703rd Regiment cadres.
The team members, convinced by Chen Jun’s ability, tacitly stepped back half a pace.
Letting Chen Jun walk on the right side of Team Leader Zhou Huimin, naturally highlighting Chen Jun’s status in the working group as equal to the team leader.
One Mao Three and Two Mao Two side by side, the style very unique yet surprisingly harmonious.
Even the approaching 703rd Regiment crowd, seeing Captain Chen Jun walking at the front of the team with several majors only following behind.
No one felt it wrong; they even felt it wasn’t enough.
Chen Jun should walk alone at the front.
The 703rd Regiment commander thought so and did so.
When the two groups met at the main entrance, 703rd Regiment’s Regiment Commander Qiu didn’t greet Zhou Huimin first but chose to shake hands and chat with Chen Jun.
The ignored Team Leader Zhou Huimin could only bitter smile, nothing but bitter smile left.
Including him, everyone knew clearly.
Who was the real big shot!
Getting along well with him as team leader actually didn’t have much effect.
Chen Jun, the special commissioner specifically responsible for coordination, had the right to finalize the personnel list; the team leader was just a figurehead.
You have neither power nor strength, just a useless Two Mao Two rank.
As long as not a fool, everyone would choose Chen Jun.
Fortunately, the 703rd Regiment’s political commissar was a good “wise helpmate”; seeing Zhou Huimin awkwardly left aside by the regiment commander, she immediately came up to express welcome.
Other 703rd Regiment members also came up one by one, all prioritizing greeting Chen Jun.
After a very enthusiastic welcome ceremony, the working group was taken to the regiment rest room for a brief rest.
Then taken to the regiment headquarters canteen, where high-spec reception was also prepared.
Not only were the tables full of various delicacies, but several bottles of expensive baijiu were also prepared, specifically to welcome the working group.
