At that time, in this competition, except Huo Tingzhou, everyone else also made great achievements.
Brother Huo won first place in two individual competitions, second place in two individual competitions, and was also far ahead in the team competitions.
Deputy Head Lei participated in relatively few events, only two, but he performed well in both and secured a gold and a silver medal.
As for Xiao Zhengjun, this time he lived up to his title of "eternal runner-up".
He won silver medals in four events in total. In the team competition, he and Huo Tingzhou were in the same group. With their stable performance, they finally won three golds and four silvers.
This result far exceeded Teacher Hu's initial expectations.
Because of Xiao Zhengjun's outstanding performance in this competition, the 24th and 34th Air Divisions under the Beijing Military Region all extended olive branches to him before the competition officially ended.
In terms of strength and equipment, these two ace troops are evenly matched.
It's just that although the 24th Air Division is not under the Beijing Military Region, it is stationed in Tang City, Hebei Province, while the 34th Air Division is stationed at Nanyuan Airport in Beijing.
This choice can be said to be no surprise.
Although he already had the answer in his heart, Xiao Zhengjun did not give in until the last moment.
Good persistence is also meaningful.
In order to express their sincerity, both sides proposed to arrange suitable jobs for military families and solve their employment problems.
Now, Captain Xiao’s heart finally settled down.
After cooperating with the troops to complete the transfer procedures, Captain Xiao and his family prepared to set off for Qiongzhou Island.
Relocating the whole family is no small matter. Fortunately, his appointment order will not officially take effect until January of next year. Now it is only the beginning of November, so they still have plenty of time.
After sending off Teacher Hu and Mrs. Xu's families, a few days later, Brother Huo finally received good news.
His file was eventually taken over by the tank regiment code-named Unit 51105.
This unit is affiliated to the 3rd Division of the Beijing Garrison Guard and is stationed in Tong County, Beijing. It is mainly responsible for the security and emergency operations in the eastern part of the capital.
However, there is more good news!
This time, not only was Brother Huo successfully transferred to Beijing, but his rank was also promoted. After reporting to Beijing, he will serve as the commander of the tank regiment.
Since the appointment order had not been officially issued yet, Huo Xu only mentioned this matter to Huo's mother before going to bed at night so that she would have some idea of it.
"Regimental Commander?" Mother Huo's sleepiness faded at the mention of this, and she immediately sat up from her bed. "He was a battalion commander before. Conventionally, shouldn't he have been transferred to a lateral position or promoted to deputy regiment commander? How did he get promoted to regimental commander straight away?"
Huo's mother had worked in the military system for most of her life, so she was familiar with the promotion rules.
The points of assessment for this officer's promotion are nothing more than those.
The eldest brother had made many contributions this year, and his performance in this big competition was also remarkable. However, it was beyond Mother Huo's expectation that he could be promoted to a higher level just by making one or two contributions.
Suddenly, she remembered the meetings held by the Military Commission for several days.
Mother Huo, with her keen sense of smell, immediately lowered her voice, "Old Huo, tell me the truth, has there been any change in the policy from above?"
This matter was about to be officially documented, and Huo Xu did not hide it from her.
The higher-ups do have the idea of reorganizing the military system, and this is also the core topic of their meeting.
One of the core measures is to propose that senior cadres should be younger.
"This time, the priority for promotion is to select outstanding regimental-level cadres. Those who meet the requirements will be given priority training or promoted exceptionally."
"We will also provide appropriate support for border defense forces facing harsh conditions and technically intensive military branches."
After a pause, Huo Yu continued, "The higher-ups also plan to spend five to six years to reduce the age of army-level commanders to no more than 50 years old, and division-level commanders to no more than 45 years old."
"We must vigorously recruit young, educated, and capable cadres."
