Chapter 58: Directly Promoted To Company Commander??
As long as he could break the situation in the Mountain Exercise and bring out the important role that the Reconnaissance Company should play.
Then not only could he change the ending of Steel Seventh Company, leaving the T Division leaders with no reason to reorganize the outstanding Steel Seventh Company.
Walking at the forefront of modernization reform, the Blue Army known as the Red Army’s whetstone, was worn through by Steel Seventh Company’s sharp knife.
It would be equivalent to greatly honoring T Division.
From the Division Commander down to the Staff Officer, everyone’s mouths would be grinning; how could they bear to reorganize the meritorious Steel Seventh Company? They would probably focus on cultivating it as a key company.
And Chen Jun, as the Platoon Leader who cultivated Sharp Knife Third Squad, the primary contributor to the comeback, his treatment would be even more self-evident.
Gao Cheng was originally someone who exceptionally loved talent; for talent, he wouldn’t hesitate to offend all other Company Commanders. Chen Jun’s right to speak in the company would inevitably soar straight up.
Even, if there were no accidents…
The sharp-eyed 702 Regiment’s top boss, Regiment Commander Wang, would definitely start eyeing the extraordinary Chen Jun and carefully cultivate him as a key prospect.
In this way.
When the Combined Arms Company later promotes to Combined Arms Battalion, it could lay a solid foundation in advance.
Gao Cheng this Company Commander loved talent, Regiment Commander Wang this Regiment Commander cherished talent, and Yuan Lang from the Soldier King-packed old A would also eye Chen Jun.
It could be foreseen that Yuan Lang this old fox, in order to poach Chen Jun to old A, would definitely use all sorts of tricks.
Regiment Commander Wang definitely wouldn’t want talent to be snatched away; it could be foreseen that there would inevitably be an unusual confrontation between Regiment Commander Wang and Yuan Lang.
Who the deer would fall to, it’s still hard to say now.
And Shi Jin, as the Squad Leader of Sharp Knife Third Squad, with Third Squad performing outstandingly, the Squad Leader would take the primary credit; at that time, even if he didn’t want the Third-class Merit, he probably couldn’t avoid it.
With the Third-class Merit in hand…
Combined with the various methods Chen Jun used over two years to obtain various honors and merits for Shi Jin, at that time turning into a Fourth-level Non-commissioned Officer would be effortless.
As long as he did one thing well, he would harvest four fruits.
A perfect one arrow four eagles!
Therefore, for his own convenience, Chen Jun specifically named the series of things that needed to be done in the middle as the “One Arrow Four Eagles Plan”.
Of course.
Whether all this beauty could happen as wished still depended on whether everything in the next two years could proceed smoothly and follow Chen Jun’s vision.
After all, plans can never keep up with changes.
Even if Chen Jun was ever so careful, it could be foreseen that there would definitely be various accidents along the way; whether he could handle them well without affecting the ending would very much test Chen Jun’s personal ability.
This path was destined to be full of thorns; wanting to walk it down wouldn’t be that easy.
So to minimize the occurrence of variables as much as possible, Chen Jun needed to plan out an even more perfect plan in these two years before the exercise arrived.
First, cultivating Third Squad to special operations standards to build a strengthened Reconnaissance Squad was a given.
Secondly, find ways to strive to improve himself.
Chen Jun performed so excellently in the new recruit company; becoming Steel Seventh Company’s Platoon Leader was definitely a sure thing, at most within these two months.
How to strive to become Deputy Company Commander was the goal!
Direct promotion to full Company Commander wasn’t without precedent, just that the difficulty was a bit high; at least it required a personal Second-class Merit, so it could only be regarded as the ultimate goal.
According to《People’s Liberation Army active officer service regulations》Article 17:
Under the premise of meritorious service for exceptional promotion, the minimum years of service for chief officers at each level in peacetime:
For company-level chief officer positions, three years;
For company-level chief officer positions, four years;
For battalion-level chief officer positions, three years;
For regiment-level chief officer positions, four years;
For division（brigade）-level chief officer positions, three years.
This was already the conventional peak; continuing upward relied on time but couldn’t be endured.
Could only look at fate~
Chen Jun normally needed to serve full three years as Platoon Leader to qualify for promotion to Deputy Company Commander, plus one year of probation, four years at military academy, exactly eight years.
That is, purely enduring time and service age without any meritorious performance to “mix up”.
“Eight years Platoon Leader, ten years Company Commander”; this phrase became derogatory in the troops because of this reason, representing having served full term.
As long as during being Platoon Leader one strives to train hard, improves one’s own military literacy and ability, personally goes to fight.
Or has unique soldier-leading skills, brings out excellent warriors, relies on the warriors one leads to fight.
Casually excelling in one aspect, getting some awards in regiment and division various assessments and martial arts competitions, wouldn’t lead to serving full eight years Platoon Leader, purely relying on enduring service age for promotion.
Chen Jun definitely didn’t want to be a slacker.
When he graduated from military academy back then, the team cadre had said: “You all going down to the company must work well; I don’t want the cadets who leave from my hands to really serve full eight years Platoon Leader; can’t afford to lose that face.”
So Chen Jun definitely had to strive to perform; he must become Seventh Company’s Deputy Company Commander within two years.
And a Captain Deputy Company Commander!
Because according to《People’s Liberation Army military rank regulations》Article 17’s relevant provisions:
Under the premise without exceptional promotion, promotions from First Lieutenant to Senior Colonel are all every four years one level up; Senior Colonel and above rank promotions are selective.
Time in academy study and grassroots company probation is counted in the rank promotion period.
Chen Jun was already conferred rank upon graduation; Nanjing Army Academy is bachelor’s First Lieutenant rank, just without issuing the rank insignia.
Needs to complete probation after joining the company, with the probation unit responsible for issuing the rank.
Cadet probation time is usually one year, at most only one year; if performance is excellent during it, the probation time can be correspondingly reduced.
Specifically decided by the probation unit!
Chen Jun has now probated for eight months, equivalent to having eight months service age; normally another three plus years to automatically promote to Captain.
If he could promote early to Deputy Company Commander, that definitely represented earning merit and awards; early promotion to Captain would be very normal.
Two years later when Chen Jun becomes Captain Deputy Company Commander, Gao Cheng would still have one year to promote to Deputy Battalion Commander, still Captain Company Commander.
At that time, Chen Jun with his new status, discussing Steel Seventh Company’s internal self-tactical reorganization with Gao Cheng, his status would be completely different from now.
His words would carry weight!
Having set the goal for his own promotion, he similarly needed to influence the external environment, through long-term transformation to make it suitable for incubating Combined Arms Company.
The most important was definitely to first write the theory; must write out combined arms operations.
With black words on white paper as theoretical foundation, it could better let from Company Commander down to Squad Leader understand combined arms tactics, and ultimately accept modernized tactics.
However, the theory needed to be brought out after the exercise; Chen Jun still needed to find ways to influence the company over these two years.
The warriors below were grassroots executors, not tactic formulators; influencing them only required arranging corresponding training.
Company Commander Gao Cheng belonged to the tactical command level, definitely needed separate handling.
Chen Jun had already thought of the plan.
Just use the boiling a frog in warm water routine!
