Chapter 109: Chen Jun Starts Dominating The Leaderboards!!
Chen Jun and Ba Te Er’s martial arts competition policy is very simple: use the regiment competition results as the benchmark, whichever team is stronger, the other team will fully assist to help them strive for first place.
This is also very reasonable, with no one taking advantage of the other.
When Chen Jun finished discussing and returned to the camp, he happened to run into Gao Cheng who had also finished eating and returned, and had already confirmed the competition strategy with the regiment commander.
Gao Cheng may look carefree on the outside, but his observation ability is actually very strong.
He knew that during the regiment competition, Chen Jun deliberately held back his own performance, letting others take the results to maximize the benefits of the competition and overall elevate Steel Seventh Company’s standing, without fully displaying his true strength.
Even if a competitor performs the best in the competition, they can only get one third-class merit at a time.
Spread across three competitors, that’s three third-class merits.
From Steel Seventh Company’s company level, that means they obtained three third-class merits this year, which will definitely give them a bigger advantage in the annual evaluation.
Chen Jun wants to elevate Steel Seventh Company’s overall score, which is the only way to minimize the possibility of reorganization.
Just as initially thought.
As long as Steel Seventh Company is strong enough, strong to the ceiling, unmatched by anyone.
Even if 702 Regiment is gone, Steel Seventh Company will survive.
This is irreplaceable value!
Gao Cheng does not oppose Chen Jun’s approach, as it gives more Steel Seventh Company warriors a chance to perform, which can indeed overall elevate Steel Seventh Company’s level.
But Gao Cheng also wants to do something for Chen Jun’s “selfless dedication.”
He doesn’t want him to give without any return.
So after eating with the division commander and others, on the way back, Gao Cheng reported the situation to Regiment Commander Wang.
After learning about this, Regiment Commander Wang felt that Chen Jun, in a situation where he could achieve certain results himself, let other team members take results, which is not opportunistic behavior.
Rather, he sees it as a noble quality, embodying the broad-mindedness of an officer.
Setting a good example for the broad cadres!
But this division grand competition is crucial, related to whether they can regain dignity, shake off the shameful nickname of zero-score regiment, and become a true main force regiment.
If Chen Jun has the strength but doesn’t participate.
It could very likely lead to missing projects that could have been won, and if luck is a bit worse, even miss out on first place in the division grand competition.
So…
From the perspective of 702 Regiment’s overall consideration, Regiment Commander Wang felt the need to make certain changes, so he seriously instructed Gao Cheng.
Simply put.
As long as Chen Jun has the strength and confidence, and is stronger than other competitors in a project, he must participate and cannot yield to anyone else.
This is not a suggestion, but an order.
As long as they can strive for a division first, Regiment Commander Wang will be satisfied.
Gao Cheng also agrees with Regiment Commander Wang’s idea, feeling that letting other competitors shine in the division grand competition and gain more honor will allow better development in the army later.
Compared to 702 Regiment’s once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to truly rise comprehensively in T Division.
The latter, as regiment honor, is obviously more important.
Therefore, after parting with the regiment commander and returning to the camp, Gao Cheng immediately found Chen Jun, called him out, and privately discussed this matter away from other competitors.
Chen Jun was truly surprised that the regiment commander had gotten involved.
Gaining such an important status in Regiment Commander Wang’s mind so quickly, far exceeding Chen Jun’s expectations, is really something to be happy about.
This means that advancing the transformation of Steel Seventh Company into the officially recognized combined arms company already has a good start.
Steel Seventh Company transforming from reconnaissance company to combined arms company requires full support from the regiment.
Only when the regiment issues the document can Chen Jun operate effectively.
Plus, Wu Liu Yi’s 3 kilometer sprint this time not only crushed the strongest division reconnaissance battalion, but also set a new division record with a time of 8 minutes 49 seconds.
Wu Liu Yi will definitely get an honor medal, and if the team can get a division first.
Personal honors will definitely be maxed out!
Cheng Cai, as a mere new recruit, has already gotten a third-class merit in the regiment, and the rule is only one third-class merit within two years.
The division level definitely can’t give third-class merits, and personal second-class merit is out of the question.
At most, like Wu Liu Yi, chase an honor medal.
The core members are basically secured, the other team members are indeed very hardworking and have certain strength, but there’s still a certain gap to the ceiling.
Their participation in the division grand competition this time can be said to be entirely riding on the coattails of Chen Jun and the other two.
In a situation where they can only be supporting roles, getting collective honor is already enough; Chen Jun doesn’t need to forcibly strive for more for them.
After all, forcibly striving doesn’t guarantee success.
Finally, and most importantly.
Chen Jun’s goal is not combined arms company; that’s just a starting point, followed by combined arms battalion, combined arms regiment, etc., which will require strong support from the division.
Although that’s years away, paving the way in advance is definitely better.
This also means Chen Jun needs to show sufficiently strong strength as much as possible in the division grand competition, so that the division leaders not only remember him but leave a deep impression.
As long as the seed is planted to sprout, there will be hope for abundant fruit later.
In plain words.
The more capable you are, the more right to speak you have.
So Chen Jun did not refuse at all, gladly accepting the regiment commander’s order conveyed by Gao Cheng, stating that he will go all out in all upcoming projects.
When Chen Jun says go all out, he definitely will, not just talk.
Thus.
In the afternoon’s first competition—pistol 80-meter precision shooting—Chen Jun no longer held back, unleashing full power in a barrage of output.
With impeccable perfect performance and results, he showed everyone present, from the division commander and political commissar down to the competitors, what “absolute crushing strength” really means.
A perfect answer sheet of five shots at 50 rings conquered everyone on the field.
Even the reconnaissance battalion commander who was gnashing his teeth at Chen Jun in the morning, sending his best pistol shooter to regain face in this event.
Seeing Chen Jun hit full score in just a few seconds, several times faster than other competitors, he was shocked speechless.
“This 013 is Chen Jun??”
As the only full score in the whole audience, the division commander applauded in praise, and asked the political commissar beside him to confirm if he misidentified.
“Yes, he is Chen Jun from Steel Seventh Company, a cadre who joined the company just last year,” the political commissar said.
“This young man is impressive, strong in leading troops, outstanding personal ability, among the new batch of grassroots cadres, he counts as an outstanding performer.”
The division commander gave extremely high praise, and anticipated Chen Jun’s subsequent performance.
Thus, this tall guy Chen Jun was remembered by the division commander.
The next five kilometer event also had Chen Jun participating, and after an hour of rest, it soon kicked off on the large parade ground.
