Chapter 243: Return of the Soul, Listed in the Revival File
No matter how unwilling Chen Mo was, the two major military regions of Kyoto and Jincheng established demonstration camps at the same time.
This origin cannot be separated.
On the way back from the 184th Regiment, Chen Mo followed the motorcade of Qin Quanan, Chief of Staff of the 63rd Army, and a group of more than a dozen people led by Lu Yuan, and headed straight from Qinglong Gorge to the Jinyang Military Region Headquarters.
The group set out at 5 p.m. on August 21st and arrived at the military district around 1 a.m. on the 22nd.
There is a big difference in temperature between Jincheng and Qinglong Gorge. When the convoy stopped at the military parking lot, Chen Mo felt as soon as he got off the car that the temperature in late August had dropped by more than ten degrees compared to when he left earlier in the month.
I got out of the car suddenly and felt a little cold.
"Hello, Chief, the dormitory area is just ahead. Let's go and rest first."
"The dormitories are all settled."
As soon as the crowd got off the bus, several cadres from the General Staff Headquarters warmly welcomed them. Chen Mo tightened his clothes and was about to follow them.
A captain ran up quickly, stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Major Chen, the commander wants to see you."
Chen Mo knew the person in charge of communication. He was the assistant serving Chief of Staff Qin.
The leader he was referring to was undoubtedly Qin Quanan.
Chen Mo was not surprised that someone came to him for something as soon as he arrived at the military region. No matter how good the 184th Regiment was, it was still the territory of the Jincheng Military Region.
The military district cannot cover all matters, and many confirmed news cannot be passed to him at all.
For example, even he, the battalion commander, didn't know the location of the Information Battalion's base, but Lao Wang, who had nothing to do with the battalion, was better informed than him.
"Let's go."
After Chen Mo handed the spare clothes he had with him to Pei Shuajun, he strode with the captain to the headquarters building of the military district general staff.
When I arrived at the chief's office, Qin Quanan had not come yet.
Chen Mo simply poured himself a glass of water, sat on the wooden sofa, and waited quietly.
This wait lasted for a full half hour.
When Qin Quanan pushed the door open, Chen Mo was staring blankly at the "August 1st" military flag hanging on the wall behind his office chair.
"Why, what do you feel when you see it?"
Qin Quanan saw Chen Mo's actions and asked with a smile.
"Hello, Chief!" Hearing the noise, Chen Mo quickly turned around and stood at attention, saluting: "It feels very solemn and dignified!"
"Okay, sit down." Qin Quanan strode to the desk and pointed at the chair opposite: "I didn't ask you to come here today to discuss this."
"Your file will be transferred and sent to Kyoto headquarters by a special person. I just checked it."
"You're quite capable, kid. You've been in the army for less than a year and your file has already been transferred to the headquarters. This is a unique case in our army."
"This is your first time away from home for so long. Do you miss home?"
Qin Quanan asked with a smile, like a kind elder.
I've been busy with exercises recently, either dealing with the wind and sand or figuring out how to beat people up, and I was suddenly delighted to hear such gentle concern.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly: "It's not that bad, I've been on the phone with my family. A man with ambition can overcome anything."
"Heh, you kid."
Qin Quanan shook his head. "This time, the higher-ups are going to set up an information battalion. The military district will be responsible for overseeing it and report on the construction progress at any time."
"The new camp will be located at the Howitzer Battalion of your Seventh Brigade. As for the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, it will remain at the old site at Taishan Base."
"Regarding the academy's enrollment, the General Staff and the Training Department will address it as quickly as possible, prioritizing the transfer of battalions and companies from previously transferred units that participated in this Northwest Military Exercise."
"Establishing a new battalion will be extremely difficult. With this in mind, the higher-ups have transferred several top computer science students from the Tanzhou National University of Defense Technology to assist you."
"Here's the list. We'll be reporting to the camp soon. You'll be responsible for receiving it."
Qin Quanan said as he pulled out a printed paper from the brown paper bag on his desk and handed it over.
Computer science was established as early as 1958 at Tsinghua University. Now, decades later, in 1995, many universities including military academies also started offering computer science and computer majors.
Calculating the time, this year happens to be the first year for many colleges to graduate computer science students.
At first, Chen Mo didn't take it seriously.
The above starting point is definitely good. It is nothing more than wanting to attract more talents to make the establishment of informationized troops smoother.
But as Chen Mo watched, his eyes widened instantly, and a feeling of absurdity and humor surged into his heart.
Because he had an acquaintance on the list, to be more precise, an acquaintance known to many people in later generations.
The commander of the Blue Army Brigade, who is known for having no bottom line in fighting, is full of learning and is nicknamed Manheping.
"That's not right. Isn't this someone from the Academy of Military Science? How come he's on the list of the National University of Defense Technology?"
Chen Mo looked at Man Xuexue's name and couldn't help but blurt it out.
In fact, he was not familiar with Comrade He Ping in his previous life. When the other party took office as brigade commander, Chen Mo had already applied for demobilization five or six years ago.
However, the other side made too much noise in the field army, and coupled with the constant propaganda on the military channel, as a result, not only those who had served in the army, but even those who had never been to the army had heard of the name of nuclear peace.
"Who are you talking about?"
Qin Quanan was confused by Chen Mo's sudden start. He stretched his head to take a look before smiling and saying, "Do you know him?"
"Not really." Chen Mo shook his head hurriedly: "I just saw the detailed introduction behind him. He is not a student of HKUST."
"Um."
Qin Quanan didn't think anything was wrong: "I was just planning to introduce this comrade. It's not accurate to say he's not from HKUST."
"He studied for four years as an undergraduate at the National University of Defense Technology and three years as a master's student at the Academy of Military Science. Some time ago, in mid-August, this student refused to stay on campus and took the initiative to apply for a grassroots position as a staff officer."
"This is a unique case in the Academy of Military Science. Never before has such a top student been appointed to a grassroots position."
"We originally planned to transfer him to the 38th Army as a captain and platoon leader. But since the higher-ups have stopped him, let him go to your place and serve as a platoon leader first."
"Platoon leader."
For a moment, Chen Mo found it difficult to digest this fact.
After all, only those who have experienced the future know how annoying Comrade Heping is. This guy suddenly follows me to be a platoon leader. What qualifications do I have to do this?
Fortunately, Comrade Heping is still in a relatively green and immature stage now.
When it comes to being evil-minded and dirty-handed, I'm afraid no one is as evil as Commander Wang of the 61st Division.
Qin Quan'an didn't notice Chen Mo's expression change. While he was thinking, he pulled out a document from the file bag on his desk and said, "Since the higher-ups have appointed you as the commander of the Information Demonstration Battalion, your studies at the Lu Academy are over."
"Headquarters has specially approved your studies to be completed ahead of schedule, and your personal file will be transferred to headquarters and included in the Renaissance file."
"Take a look at your resume."
"If there are no problems, you can go and rest. Come up with a detailed plan for setting up the camp as soon as possible. By then, the military district will also establish a headquarters within the demonstration camp to be responsible for assisting and supervising all work."
When Chief of Staff Qin mentioned the "Revival Archives", his expression was extremely calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
After all, their level is there, and they were originally in the files that were released every ten years.
But this decision surprised Chen Mo again, even more shocked than when he learned that Comrade Heping was going to the Information Camp.
Because those who were classified into the headquarters' "Revival Files" only needed to honestly follow the military path, Zhongpei chose the "Combat Command" major.
Enrich your resume.
As long as he does not make any mistakes in principle, he will almost certainly be promoted to a full-time division-level cadre before he is demobilized.
Chen Mo had served as a confidential secretary, so he naturally knew the influence involved. This was like taking a reassurance in advance.
Of course, even if you enter the Renaissance Archives, it will be extremely difficult to take the next step from a full master.
At that point, it is no longer just ordinary achievements and deeds that can be used as a criterion for promotion.
They have all reached the level of full colonel. Among the same batch, who can be much worse than who else?
However, according to Chen Mo's knowledge, the most basic requirement for entering the Renaissance Archives is to pass the review by a dedicated person at the headquarters.
There also needs to be a disciplinary department with dedicated personnel to register, record and sign.
Hasn't this been reviewed yet?
In terms of depth, the review conducted by the Lu Academy was probably not enough.
Chen Mo opened his resume with a hint of doubt.
Before opening it, he was still confused, but after opening it, he completely lost his temper.
Because the entire resume, from his name, to his position, from his service unit to his areas of expertise, from his talents to his personality, and to all his deeds after joining the army, provides a personal summary of him and is written in great detail.
To put it bluntly, even if he wrote this himself, it would be impossible for him to make it so complete.
The final advice after looking at the resume is: observe closely and focus on training.
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
He knew that the stage that truly belonged to him had just arrived.
After closing the document, Chen Mo stood up and saluted!
"Please rest assured, I will resolutely complete the tasks entrusted to me by the Party and the people, and will never let you down."
Qin Quanan stood up and returned the greeting.
After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "That's enough. I'm exhausted after going out."
"Go back and rest early, and complete the camp construction plan as soon as possible. The leaders above are waiting."
"Also, people from the Jincheng Military Region will be coming here to study during this period, and they may also arrange for people to be stationed in your camp."
"As the commander of the Kyoto Military Region's Informationized Demonstration Battalion, you must always maintain the image of our military region. Don't be afraid of others copying you. Private arguments are fine, but the ideal of common progress for the field army must not be compromised."
"Progress is progress together, don't you understand?"
"Yes, Chief!"
Chen Mo straightened his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief, I know what to do."
"Other military regions can learn whatever they want, but informatization is a system, not a static organization. Complete imitation is useless because even if I imitate them, their battalion commanders are not like me, so I still can't lead them."
"Only by learning the true concepts, taking them back, and making them our own, can the Jincheng Military Region's information-based demonstration camp truly possess unique combat capabilities."
"Go away, go away, stop bragging." Qin Quan'an heard Chen Mo talking nonsense and cursed him in a bad mood.
Waited until I saw Chen Mo leave the office.
Chief of Staff Qin picked up the cigarette from the table, took a few puffs, and scolded with a smile: "This kid is quite reliable."
"It's good to have a plan. At least there's an explanation."
Building a camp in two years sounds simple, but in fact, even the military district is under tremendous pressure privately.
The reason why Chief of Staff Qin chose the middle of the night to call Chen Mo over for a talk was that he asked him if he missed home.
The original purpose was not only to tell him that the higher-ups were going to give it to someone, but also to transfer Chen Mo's personal file to the headquarters.
The main purpose was to hear this kid complain, talk about his own difficulties, cry about his hardships and poverty, so that the military district could be mentally prepared.
But who knew that after this kid came over, he stared at the military flag, was surprised by the list, and was astonished by the things in the file.
Damn it, the only thing they didn't talk about was the information-based demonstration camp, which made Chief of Staff Qin think of a lot of words to comfort and cheer him up, but he didn't use a single one.
5:30 in the morning of August 22nd.
Normally at this time of day, the sky would have been bright, but today it was overcast, and before six o'clock, raindrops as big as soybeans were falling with a crackling sound.
At first it was only a small area, and in just a few seconds, the rain poured down heavily, and the entire sky seemed to be connected to the earth, covered by the rain curtain.
Chen Mo was sleeping soundly when he heard some noise outside. He quickly got up, dressed, and closed the window bars.
Looking at the rain outside, he couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood. He remembered when he first arrived in Qinglong Gorge.
There had just been a heavy rainstorm there, and the strong winds forced the logistics soldiers to chase after their tents in their shorts, without any rest all night.
Unexpectedly, I met him again after I came back.
It must be because of the heavy rain. In the corridor of the dormitory, before it was time to get up, we could hear the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps, and many people were woken up.
Chen Mo opened the dormitory door and looked outside, and Pei Shuajun happened to come to the door.
"Are you awake too?"
"I forgot to tell you last night that the base is going to be converted into an academy, and the leaders of the Lu Academy will all return to Stone City today."
"Director Luo means that you are currently considered graduated, so you can go directly to the new camp."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Mo nodded. The chief of staff mentioned this matter last night.
After responding, Chen Mo originally wanted to go to the corridor to take a look, but when he raised his foot, he found that Pei Shuajun was hesitant to speak and looked conflicted.
Blocked at the door.
Chen Mo asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I do, but I don't know how to tell you."
"Just tell me, what's the big deal?"
"Okay."
Pei Shuaijun nodded and said, "When I came back yesterday, I heard Director Luo chatting with Commander Wei of the Seventh Brigade. He said that yesterday morning, all the battalions and companies of your Blue Army Battalion were awarded the collective second-class merit."
"The vast majority of units are very happy and have returned to their respective units."
"that is."
"You mean something happened to the reconnaissance company?" Chen Mo was a shrewd man.
The entire Blue Army Camp and all units were awarded collective second-class merit, which should have been a happy occasion for everyone.
He hesitated when this was mentioned. It went without saying that something must have happened in the reconnaissance company.
"Um."
"The reconnaissance company was awarded a second-class collective merit in the morning, and its unit number was revoked in the afternoon."
"The entire company has been incorporated into the information technology demonstration battalion."
"Captain Cheng seems unhappy. He locked himself in his room all day and didn't come out."
Even though Chen Mo had already prepared himself mentally, when he heard that the entire company was being disbanded, he felt a pang in his heart and thought to himself that something was wrong.
He had been to the reconnaissance company's honor room, and Chen Mo knew Cheng Dong's character best.
That was the company he had been thinking about and had to keep before he retired at the age of 40, even if it meant being transferred to a base and having the entire company study and unable to return to the Kuchi base.
But at least the number is still there and the soul is still there.
It's just that the tasks performed are different.
Once the number is gone, will the soul of the reconnaissance company still be there?
Since the reduction of a platoon in May this year, the proportion of veterans in the entire company has exceeded 90%.
No one knows better than soldiers what it means when their company is disbanded.
The souls of the entire company are lost.
Even though Chen Mo was no longer a member of the reconnaissance company, he felt a wave of sadness when he heard that the first company he came into contact with when he joined the army was disbanded.
It is conceivable what kind of torture Captain Cheng, who is proud to the core, is going through at this moment.
But this step has to be taken, doesn't it?
When the training base was first established, the entire reconnaissance company was incorporated into the study group, which meant that this day would come.
I just didn't expect that the action above would be so fast.
The grassroots were not given any chance to respond and the troops were withdrawn as soon as they were told to.
Chen Mo's face changed and he quickly turned back to the dormitory to pack his things.
"Scholar, what are you going to do?"
Pei Shuajun was startled by the other party's actions and asked anxiously.
“Return the soul!!”
"Help the entire company revive!"
Chen Mo picked up his bag and asked, "Old Pei, where are the people from the reconnaissance company now?"
"It's in the Howitzer Battalion. They were awarded the Second Class Merit for the group yesterday."
"Do you know the location?"
"I went to see it once and found it." Pei Shuajun nodded.
"Take me there, now."
"OK."
Pei Shuajun didn't ask any more questions, but quickly ran back to his dormitory, took out an umbrella, and the two hurried downstairs.
While they were talking, Wang Songhe was standing not far away. Old Wang also knew that Chen Mo was from the reconnaissance company, and he also knew that the soldier who shouted "Fire at me" when the attack on the command center failed was from the reconnaissance company.
The disbanding of such a company is indeed a big blow.
"It seems that the first hurdle for this brat in establishing a model battalion in Kyoto is not planning, but gathering the disbanded companies."
"Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, Lao Wang brought his orderly and followed Chen Mo.
Two cars, one in front and one behind, drove out of the military district gate.
Galloping in the rain.
at the same time.
Inside the howitzer battalion base in Hedong City, Shanxi Province.
At six o'clock in the morning, no whistle was sounded in the camp, but one veteran after another went to the armory to get their guns and helmets.
They lined up neatly in front of the administrative building.
No one issued any orders, no one shouted slogans, and in the heavy rain, the rhythmic stomping of feet was quite intense.
The team stood in line.
All the soldiers looked at the administrative building with their heads held high, waiting for the company commander's speech and waiting to start a new day of training.
Cheng Dong, who has been the company commander for seven years, has never been late, but today he was late.
In the rain.
The soldiers' eyes were firm, as if the rainstorm didn't exist, and everyone was waiting quietly.
Half an hour, one hour, two hours
The queue did not wait for the company commander.
But finally, he waited for Chen Mo, who rushed back from the military area.
Get out of the car.
Chen Mo didn't have time to look around the entire camp. Looking at the queue in front of the building, he understood what was going on.
There is a very true statement in "Soldier Assault".
People who mature early are usually late in maturity, proud and impatient. Gao Cheng in the play has all these characteristics.
Cheng Dong from the reconnaissance company also has both.
And he has a more stubborn personality!
