Coming out of the vice dean's office, Chen Ming took a deep breath and prepared a long-term campus life experience plan just now for the start of classes.
He was immediately cut off by his own theory.
In order to prepare cadres for the Strategic Assault Division, the superiors have really taken great pains, even preparing for work at the grassroots level.
Although what Lin Qingyuan said just now sounded good and made sense, the true purpose and authenticity of it still need to be investigated.
Fortunately for him, after all, he was still young, so even if he went to the grassroots level, he wouldn't have much discomfort. However, Chen Ming really didn't have much impression of what the grassroots level was like.
He still remembers the Second Battalion of Recruits of the Artillery Brigade, but it was not the grassroots level. It was the First Company, First Platoon and Second Squad of the Second Battalion of Yuanhuo. He didn’t have any profound memories of his experience in the first half of the year, because the artillerymen needed to master many skills.
Most of the time, he was studying and adapting. The only grassroots level that he remembered vividly was the eight months he spent participating in the selection in Longya.
Good guy, the experience of Longya should be very different from that of ordinary grassroots troops.
On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Ming thought to himself that when he went to the new army, he would no longer be a major, but a corporal. This was the stage when the recruit period was completely over and the veteran career had just begun.
He needs to temporarily give up his military rank and his position. He is no longer the calm, kind and dignified chief staff officer of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion, and he is no longer the chief staff officer of the combined battalion in charge of thousands of people.
He is not even an officer, just an ordinary soldier. If he is suddenly transferred, he may be ostracized for a period of time, and may not even be as good as a new recruit.
Damn it, the more you mix it up, the more you become more conciliatory. Chen Ming patted his forehead helplessly, feeling dejected for a moment.
A gust of hot wind blew by, and campus life seemed to be coming to an end. It was said that it was already the beginning of autumn, but the weather was still so hot that people were confused.
Chen Ming hurried back to the dormitory, put his notebook and pen in the drawer, and looked out at his desk in deep thought.
Going down to the grassroots level, according to his estimation, in addition to having a practical understanding of what the soldiers actually need, they probably also need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each grassroots unit today, what needs to be promoted, and what needs to be improved.
At the same time, in addition to inspecting these things, I am afraid that I also have to perform at the grassroots level. After all, it is impossible for the higher ups to simply inspect them.
There is no need to use these people for inspection.
At least he had to look like a soldier.
Chen Ming feels that his conditions are quite favorable. After all, he has not been away from the grassroots for a long time and he is not very old. His adaptability can be said to be better than that of the people sitting in the classroom.
The group of people taking the class now are generally around forty years old. They started out as at least fourth-term non-commissioned officers in the army. Old non-commissioned officers have moved to a new unit and have no special skills. I am afraid it will be harder to get along than a new non-commissioned officer like him.
They are all veteran officers in the army. They are used to sitting in the office every day, drinking tea and working, occasionally holding meetings, and living such a leisurely life.
There is absolutely nothing to say when it comes to arranging to lead troops to fight. The experience is there, ruthless and experienced, and he plays tricks one after another.
But they may have long forgotten what the basic life of soldiers is like.
Letting these people enter the grassroots military camp is probably a big challenge. It is not bad to take this opportunity to let them recall what it was like to be a soldier.
Chen Ming bent over his desk and thought about it, with a smile on his face. The training arrangements jointly made by the military, the theater, and the National Defense University were really tortuous.
Taking advantage of his free time, Chen Ming carefully analyzed it and concluded that the second phase of the mission actually had two points.
First, as a soldier, you should experience the life of a company at the grassroots level. Of course, you cannot just experience it all. You must make some achievements. Even if you take off the rank of an officer, you cannot be useless after returning to the grassroots level.
Anyway, there are old fried dough sticks everywhere.
Second, it is to examine whether they, after serving as officers for so many years, can still remain true to their original aspirations and fulfill their duties as soldiers.
It will lay the foundation for the establishment of the Strategic Assault Division in the future, the new vitality of the new unit and the new tasks, so that they can better complete the identity transformation of soldiers and officers, and better understand how to develop the new unit in the future.
These experiences are probably the final scores for the second stage.
In the future, the college will arrange specialists to investigate the students' performance in the army in the past few months. These academic people are still very serious about their work.
One is one, and two is two. It will not make you jealous, nor will it help anyone cover up some shortcomings.
Judging from the fact that normal performance is recorded into scores, the grassroots level will definitely not let the past languish for a few months.
That is to say, in the past few months, if there is no performance in the grassroots company, or if the performance is not good, the results will not be satisfactory in the subsequent ratings.
Hmm. Not bad.
Chen Ming thought about it for a long time. He felt that self-regulation was okay. At least it was better than Li Chaoyang and fat colonel Zhao Shenghu, right?
It's fun to think about those two old faces who have endured the vicissitudes of life, and suddenly went down to the grassroots army at that age.
His appearance is really a bit old. If he goes as a new recruit, he may blow up the nest.
Damn, the leader who can arrange this link is also a talent.
Fortunately, he was okay and said that enlisting in the army for the second time would probably be no problem.
When people are depressed, thinking about other people's embarrassment will make them feel much better.
Boom, boom, boom.
When Chen Ming was wandering in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.
Hearing the sound, Chen Ming stopped his thoughts, opened the door and saw orderly Xiao Wen standing at the door with a surprised look on his face.
"Chief, are you really back?"
"No, I just saw it on the first floor and thought I was being dazzled. During my further studies, I have to attend classes there. Performance scores are very important, especially when Vice President Lin is in charge. If you skip classes, the problem will be very serious."
"Chief, if you have anything you can ask me to do, you'd better go back to class. If it's really urgent, there are no classes scheduled for the afternoon."
"I will accompany you to do it, but you must not miss class."
Xiao Wen said impatiently, as an orderly, he was reminded of this. Chen Ming was not the first leader he had ever followed, but he was definitely the most unique.
There is no one else who dares to report to Vice President Lin on the first day and is absent from class on the first day of class.
Seeing Xiao Wen's impatient look, Chen Ming smiled calmly and pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down. I'm not skipping class, but I have graduated in the first stage."
"graduate?!!"
Xiao Wen exclaimed, his brain almost shut down.
"Yes, I graduated." Chen Ming spread his hands and walked to the desk to sit down. "I have conducted several research projects at the National University of Defense Technology before, all of which were about the essence of doctrine."
"Those reserve knowledge points coincide with the courses of this refresher course. The first stage of campaign science, command science, and military science are of little use to me."
"So the vice-dean arranged for me to graduate directly and wait here to get to the grassroots level."
"Well, okay." Xiao Wen was stunned for a long time before reluctantly accepting the shocking news.
The National University of Defense Technology has done a project that overlaps with the National Defense University's advanced training courses. This does make sense in theory.
But which officer in the army can study at the National University of Defense Technology and then go to the National Defense University for further study in a short period of time?
No matter how good an officer is, there is still a gap of at least ten years between them.
During this time, the disciplines have been updated and iterated a long time ago, society is developing, and national defense is also steadily improving, so what you learn is definitely different.
This has never happened before.
Xiao Wen didn't know that Chen Ming was promoted, and thought that he graduated from the command department of the National Defense University and came here to study soon, so the subjects were repeated, which was a strange anecdote.
But after Chen Ming graduated, it was basically compulsory for him to graduate. The leaders went to the grassroots to experience life, so what kind of soldier was he still serving?
Why.
Xiao Wen was relieved to learn that Chen Ming was not skipping class, but at the same time he felt deeply worried, worried about himself.
Suddenly, he also graduated.
As for when the academy will make arrangements, Xiao Wen doesn't know. He only knows that the academy has indeed been preparing for a long time this time, not only in terms of military ranks, but also in terms of new files and new military uniforms.
The name will not be changed, but all the past will be changed.
In other words, in the new unit, except for the cadres at regiment level and above who will know the inside story, the people in the unit who do not have the authority to access the files have no idea what the origins of the new group of people are.
Being able to let Vice Dean Lin Qingyuan arrange his whereabouts, Xiao Wen didn't worry at all that there would be something fishy in it. It didn't exist at all, and he didn't even have to think about it.
He sat in the dormitory for a while, then got up and left.
Near noon, the real lively moment came. Xie Canxiong, the neighbor next door, led a group of colonels and two senior colonels in the class, numbering 40 or 50, to Chen Ming's dormitory with high spirits.
Good guy, the originally spacious room and hall were filled with people.
Li Chaoyang and fat colonel Zhao Shenghu could still hold their own. After all, they were not too old. Those colonels in their forties started yelling as soon as they entered the dormitory.
"Old Chen, Brother Chen, why didn't I see you in class for the next two classes?"
"Yes, Old Chen, what's going on? Why is Dean Lin looking for you?"
A group of people were asking questions, but Chen Ming knew very well that with the power of this group of people, they might have guessed that he would be sent to the grassroots level after completing his first study mission.
He is now the first person to go over and say that he is graduating early, at best, or that he is a guinea pig at worst, just to explore the way for these people in advance.
Seeing the anxious expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Ming was filled with emotion. Alas, it's not easy. During the morning break, these guys pointed out the country and almost finished arranging the strategic assault division positions without even thinking about themselves.
Now I am very enthusiastic.
But from now on, they will all be under the command of one unit. When fighting a war, they may have to borrow some of their firepower to fight the Red Army.
You can't be too harsh on yourself.
At that moment, Chen Ming pretended to be helpless and shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to go back to class, it's that Vice President Lin directly arranged for me to graduate."
"It is said that these two days will be transferred to the grassroots experience for one year. I don't know much about the rest. Let me wait for news here."
"One year? So long?"
"Did Dean Lin tell me where to assign him?"
"Old Chen, please tell me how the dean allocated it."
"I didn't expect, Brother Chen, that you mastered the advanced course courses so quickly. Do you need to take the test? When will it start?"
"What are the arrangements at the grassroots level? Are we stationed at the base, or do we just change our identities as soldiers?"
Facing one question after another, Chen Ming smiled and repeated all Lin Qingyuan's original words.
There was nothing to hide. The old man didn't say much at first. He just said that he would not be assigned to the Eastern Theater Command because he was worried that he would have too deep roots in the Eastern Theater Command.
have an impact on subsequent research.
This information, for this group of students, is at best the icing on the cake, without much substantive news.
Because they already know about it through their own channels, but they don't know how to get down to the grassroots level. Now that majors like Chen Ming have been replaced by corporals, most people already understand.
Standing still is impossible.
It is estimated that most of them will be sent to various places as sergeants. Chen Ming cannot go to the eastern theater, and there is a high probability that they will not. After all, no one has shallow roots.
Cross-war zones are less of a problem.
Even if the chief above knows your identity, so what? I won’t need you at work in the future, so there’s no need to commit a foul. When performing tasks, just pretend you don’t know what’s going on in the troops below.
It's nothing more than waiting for the second phase to end. If they meet, pretend to be surprised and just say a few polite words.
After listening to Chen Ming's story, the fat colonel Zhao Shenghu stepped forward and patted his shoulder with emotion and said with a smile: "Old Chen, I would like to wish you in advance a successful completion of this lower-level assessment."
"The first phase of the training class will last three months. We may have to wait until the training class is over. By then, you may have already become successful."
"come on!!"
"Yes, come on, Major Chen."
After a group of people chatted for a while, they took Chen Ming to prepare for lunch very enthusiastically.
There is no way, the friendship between officers has never been based on eye contact, it is all formed slowly through the exchange of equal information and the same positions.
At first, Chen Ming was too young and was the grandson-in-law of Mr. Chai, so it was somewhat inappropriate to talk to him because he was afraid of being criticized by the people around him.
Therefore, when chatting, some people will deliberately distance themselves from each other. The age difference is too big, and no one will think that Chen Ming has any outstanding performance.
I just took this opportunity to study and goof around.
Who would have thought that in the second class, he would be so awesome that he took off immediately. He convinced all the instructors, attracted the deputy dean, and directly announced the first stage of graduation.
If it is another mentor, there is a slight chance that he may engage in malpractice for personal gain. Considering Chen Ming's identity, he will be given some care.
That makes sense.
But if it were Lin Qingyuan, forget it. If this vice-dean knew a little more about people and was less rigid in doing things, he wouldn't be holding one star now, and he could hold two stars, more or less, and the deputy director The subtitle "dean" will be removed.
The current enthusiasm is due to the fact that Chen Ming is indeed capable and does not rely on his background to further his studies. Secondly, everyone is basically on the same front now.
Chen Ming is still running ahead of them. A new unit like the Strategic Assault Division has a special period and a special appointment. No one knows what position Chen Ming will be assigned to if he performs well.
Maybe taller than most of them here?
The framework of the strategic assault division is that the division-level command is unified into a professional director department. It has the right to mobilize troops and manage the troops, but it does not interfere too much in peacetime.
If we calculate it this way, the brigade level is the strategic assault division, the military command headquarters. If Chen Ming rises to the top in one step and becomes the brigade deputy chief of staff or deputy brigade commander, his administrative level will be higher than that of the regimental commander.
Although this kind of cross-range transfer is unlikely, if Chen Ming performs well during his further training, as long as someone from the military department praises him, there are so many disciples of Mr. Chai in the war zone, and he will be promoted by the donkey. It’s done.
I can't afford to offend him. I really can't afford to offend him.
What's more, they also hope to get closer to Chen Ming, so that they can learn more about the situation at the grassroots level through private contact.
Work, relationships, both.
Chen Ming is also a well-rounded veteran. Faced with other people's enthusiasm, he naturally doesn't refuse anyone who comes and talks happily.
Soon, two days passed.
During this period, Chen Ming did not attend the training class. He stayed in the dormitory and talked on the phone with Chai Shuyao when he had nothing to do. He did not mention the grassroots matters.
I'm worried that this kid will go to Chai Yansong to nag him again. The old man has been a soldier all his life and only cares about his little granddaughter. No one can guarantee whether he will do anything.
He didn't hope that the opportunity he had won with his ability would change in the future, although this possibility was slim, because the old man was probably no worse than Lin Qingyuan, but he was in that position and had too much influence.
Two days later in the morning, when Chen Ming had just washed his face and was about to go out for a walk, orderly Xiao Wen came to the dormitory with two colonel-level instructors.
One of the instructors was Yang Fengrui, who attended class two days ago.
Saw three people coming.
Chen Ming hurriedly stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, instructor."
"No need to be polite." Yang Fengrui smiled in return and raised the information bag in his hand.
"It contains your file and some of the most basic information. Except for your name and gender, everything else was created by the academy."
"The vehicles departing outside are ready. Please put on your new military uniforms, grab your new files, and set out to report."
"yes."
Knowing that he was going to the grassroots level, Chen Ming had nothing to say. He took off all the military uniforms with military ranks. Yang Fengrui took the clothes and took out a transparent bag.
It's the kind of sealed bag used to hold evidence in criminal investigations. Take off the rank and put it in the bag, write Chen Ming's name with an oil pen, and seal it.
He also put his clothes into another box and put them all away.
After putting on new uniforms, the military rank at this time has been changed to a first-term non-commissioned officer - corporal.
As soon as his military rank was changed, Chen Ming's whole temperament seemed to have undergone subtle changes. His sense of majesty was reduced, and his sense of ability was improved.
Yang Fengrui looked up and down and smiled and said: "Comrade Chen Ming, the information bag contains the information and address of the army you are about to go to, as well as the transfer order for your new identity."
"Vice President Lin specifically stated that I hope you will hide your identity in the new army and will not expose it unless necessary."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that you must not be exposed. If a combat mission occurs in a new unit, and there are problems with the command of the grassroots commander, and you do not accept the suggestions, you can directly reveal your identity and take over the command."
"Similarly, after taking over command, you will be responsible for all the impacts caused. The school will make special judgments based on special circumstances."
"do you understand?"
"clear!!"
