Chapter 246 Graduation Examination!
However, all these are useless to Jiang Chen, because he is a college soldier, a top student from a prestigious 985 university with a student status!
In addition to a second-class merit, a third-class merit, and the third-class merit that I picked up for free last night.
There is absolutely no need to go to the special forces and suffer such torture.
Moreover, even without these, if Jiang Chen really wanted to become an officer, he still had another way to go.
Go back to college, and then join the army after graduation. As a graduate of a 985 university, you will most likely be able to directly get a promotion quota for college student soldiers.
Then, you only need to study in military academy for ten months, and when you come back you will be promoted to second lieutenant.
So, to be honest, the special forces’ appeal to Jiang Chen is just that.
After thinking about this clearly, Shi Yi also understood why his old partner had been able to hold back from taking action.
However, Shi Yi also knew the personality of his old partner and the behavior of the special forces.
As long as the soldiers are good enough, there will be no tricks they cannot think of and use.
Thinking about what Wan Peng had just said, Shi Yi already had some guesses in his mind.
They probably wanted to start with the major Jiang Chen studied after he went to the military academy!
……
June twenty-fifth.
The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is Dragon Boat Festival.
It has been exactly four months since Jiang Chen and others came to teach the team.
They have completed all the courses of the teaching team and are only waiting for the final examination.
After four months of high-intensity training, in order to allow everyone to perform at their best in the assessment, Captain Wan Peng took the opportunity of the Dragon Boat Festival and gave everyone three days off.
Although we cannot leave the barracks and still have to do drills as usual every morning and evening, it is many times better than the previous high-pressure training.
Taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival, Wan Peng also organized a bonfire party in the camp.
The location was chosen on the sand of the training ground. Dinner was various barbecues, and you could make whatever you wanted.
The only troublesome thing may be that you need to sacrifice your holiday rest time to go on business trips and string the skewers during the day.
To be honest, barbecuing in the army is not a pleasant job.
Don't be fooled by their boasting. However, when it comes to real fighting, they are not much better than those rich young ladies who have never done housework.
Either it’s not cooked through or it’s burnt. The key point is that the ones I bake myself really don’t taste good!
The preparations before the dinner and the cleanup afterwards are extremely troublesome.
What’s more important is that every time we have a barbecue party, we don’t have to wait until the next day. All the toilets in the company will be full of queues that evening.
Some soldiers even have to prepare montmorillonite powder in advance before eating barbecue.
Therefore, most soldiers in the army are really not interested in bonfire dinners or barbecues.
Even though Jiang Chen and his friends could eat raw meat and insects without any problems, it did not stop them from having diarrhea after eating the barbecue.
There is an old saying that goes like this...
It can be eaten raw, it can be eaten cooked, but it cannot be eaten half-cooked.
The human body is so strange. It’s fine if eaten raw, and it’s also fine if eaten roasted, but problems will arise immediately if eaten half-cooked.
Not to mention, there is also the killer weapon, beans.
It’s fine whether you eat it raw or cooked, but if you eat it half-cooked, you will go to the hospital immediately.
However, then again.
Bonfire party and barbecue are just secondary, the main thing is to create an atmosphere.
We have been in the teaching team for so long, and we have a feast of raw insects and meat every few days, so we have been trained a long time ago.
It’s just diarrhea. If it doesn’t work, there’s montmorillonite powder to back you up.
What's more, there is a military hospital next door...
Anyway, after holding it in for so long, we can finally have some fun. No one is willing to give up because of such a small thing.
Everyone was very busy.
In addition, there is the most important point.
The teaching team... No! No! Alcohol!
Now is not a dozen years later, drinking is strictly prohibited in all branches of the military and all units.
As long as you are not in combat readiness forces, you can drink alcohol on weekends or holidays.
Some troops even provide alcoholic beverages directly in the canteen during weekends and holidays.
Just like the 7th Steel Company in "Soldier Assault", as soon as the exercise was over, they took out liquid bombs and started drinking.
This situation is very common in today's military.
No one, including Wan Peng, a retired special forces officer, thought there was anything wrong.
So, rather than saying that everyone is looking forward to a bonfire party, it would be more accurate to say that they are here to drink.
As the monitor of Class 3 and the big devil of the teaching team, he recently won a third-class merit for nothing.
Jiang Chen was naturally besieged by everyone.
He was drunk on the spot and didn't even know how to get back to the dormitory.
This is also one of the few days since Jiang Chen joined the army that he did not enter the dream space for training.
The next morning, the wakeup call sounded, and Jiang Chen rubbed his brows and climbed out of bed.
Not to mention the physical discomfort caused by the hangover, Jiang Chen felt really bad just thinking about the dozens of hours of training time he had wasted last night.
It's really not worth it just for a drink!
In the future, it is better to avoid similar things if possible.
Jiang Chen is better in this respect. Although he was a social animal in his previous life, he did not have any bad habits except smoking.
Not to mention the poison.
As for gambling, this can be seen from the fact that Jiang Chen didn't even go to the mahjong stall when he went home for the New Year.
Jiang Chen rarely drinks alcohol, at most he would occasionally sit down with a few good friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time to have a few drinks.
As for Huang...
I'm sorry, God in heaven, I, Jiang Chen, swear to never forgive gambling and drugs!
As a young man of the new era who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, I like to watch some foreign double/multi-person martial arts action movies, and by the way, criticize the corrupt style and ugly face of capitalism...
This is the biggest concession Jiang Chen can make.
-
After the Dragon Boat Festival, we rested for two more days.
Jiang Chen and others finally faced the graduation assessment of the teaching team.
The assessment content of the teaching team is divided into two categories: one is the outdoor physical fitness and military skills assessment, and the other is the indoor cultural theory assessment.
The first test to be conducted is naturally the cultural theory test.
This part of the assessment content is also divided into two categories.
The first category is the assessment of basic knowledge such as regulations, personnel management, material management, and combat command procedures.
The second category is the assessment of advanced knowledge such as military theory, strategy, campaign tactics, etc.
The physical fitness and military skills assessments are even simpler.
The physical fitness assessment items include the armed five-kilometer run, 400-meter obstacle course, pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, breaststroke and freestyle, etc.
The final military skills include shooting, tactics, fighting, plus comprehensive field assessment items.
Doesn’t it look somewhat similar to the assessment for new recruits?
Of course, as an upgraded recruit company, the teaching team’s assessment items are more in-depth.
Take the shooting test as an example.
Unlike the recruit company, which only uses Type 81 rifles and is only given five rounds of bullets.
The shooting assessment of the teaching team requires precision shooting and rapid shooting of various firearms. It is also divided into fixed targets and moving targets, prone, kneeling, standing positions, daytime shooting and nighttime shooting, etc.
Jiang Chen and his team were busy for a whole day just for the shooting test.
The same is true for tactical assessments.
It is no longer a simple basic tactical action, but also includes a series of assessment contents such as team tactics and squad tactics.
Even the combat assessment has changed.
It requires that the newly acquired fighting skills such as grappling, joint techniques and locks must be incorporated into the fight.
Jiang Chen's test results are needless to say.
The results of physical fitness and military skills assessments were all excellent.
For example, in the 400-meter obstacle course, comprehensive shooting, and fighting events, the team is leading by a huge margin.
In other events such as field comprehensive, armed five-kilometer, and grenade throwing, Jiang Chen ranked in the top three at the very least.
Not to mention cultural theory.
It's not a question of whether it will be interrupted or not, but it makes others have no desire to catch up.
You will get every point you deserve, and at most you will have one or two points deducted symbolically for points you don't deserve.
There is no way. This thing is just like a Chinese language test. Some subjects are more subjective and it is basically impossible to get full marks.
Apart from these subjects, Jiang Chen scored full marks in all other subjects.
With his excellent test scores and usual performance, Jiang Chen unsurprisingly won the Outstanding Student Medal, which only one is awarded to each class in the teaching team.
Instructor Shi Yi personally hung the medal for outstanding students on Jiang Chen's chest.
Looking at the other three medals on his chest, Shi Yi's eyes were filled with expectation. He patted Jiang Chen's shoulder and said, "Work hard and don't let your talent and sweat go to waste. I hope that one day, the soldiers I lead can also become generals!"
Before leaving the stage, Shi Yi seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Wan Peng beside him inconspicuously.
If his guess was correct, if Wan Peng wanted to recruit Jiang Chen, an outstanding soldier who had already been confirmed to be promoted, to the special forces, he could only make professional adjustments.
As mentioned before, Jiang Chen is not an ordinary soldier. It is not an easy task to recruit such an officer who is destined to have an extraordinary future into the special forces.
Even though everyone scrambles to sign up during the special forces selection every year, most of them are just ordinary soldiers, and there are basically no officers who are willing to be tortured.
It’s not that you’re afraid of death once you become an officer, but the upper limit for officers in special forces is not high.
Special forces are special units and most of them employ low-level positions with high staffing.
What does it mean.
In fact, it is very easy to understand. For example, the company commanders of ordinary companies basically have the rank of captain, while the squadron commander of special forces generally needs to have a minimum rank of major or above.
The captain of the special forces has the rank of colonel, while the same rank in ordinary troops is at least a division-level cadre, in charge of three to four thousand people.
This is low-level job with high pay.
In addition, there are a large number of special forces officers. Ordinary lieutenants and captains, if they do not have outstanding abilities, are no different from privates in the special forces.
The reason why the upper limit of special forces is not high is mainly because nowadays, no matter what the confidentiality level of all special forces in our country is, the highest rank is colonel.
So far, no general has been born!
This is the biggest limitation of special forces.
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier!
Although 99 percent of officers will never have the chance to become generals in their lifetime, at least they have a dream.
Shi Yi was also very optimistic about Jiang Chen. Among all the soldiers he had led, Jiang Chen was the only one who had a glimmer of hope that he could take this step.
So, if possible, he really didn't want Wan Peng to do this.
"I have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Lao Wan."
-
For dinner, even though they had just had a dinner together on the Dragon Boat Festival not long ago, Wan Peng still arranged a farewell dinner as he thought that everyone would go their separate ways tomorrow.
Not to mention the variety of dishes.
The only thing is that dumplings must be the staple food and everyone must eat them.
Welcome new year noodles and get-out-of-jail dumplings.
This is an old tradition in the army.
Eating these dumplings meant that we were going to separate after four months of being together.
Although the veterans have long been accustomed to this kind of separation, they are definitely reluctant to leave after spending four months together day and night.
Everyone was eating and chatting, but no one mentioned leaving tomorrow.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but no matter what, the good news is that my comrades in the same district team are all soldiers in the same regiment, so it is quite easy to meet each other.
This somewhat alleviated the sadness of everyone's parting.
In the cafeteria, everyone was playing and fighting, but Wan Peng and Shi Yi, the top leaders of the teaching team, were strolling on the playground.
"Old Wan, you..." Shi Yi just opened his mouth but was interrupted by Wan Peng before he could finish his words.
The two have been partners for three or four years. Although they don't express their thoughts to each other, they still have a basic understanding.
Without Shi Yi even having to speak, Wan Peng had already guessed what he wanted to say.
"Old Shi, I know what you want to say. Although I, Wan Peng, love my soldiers, I am not so despicable as to sacrifice a soldier's future." Wan Peng looked into Shi Yi's eyes and said seriously.
“You also know Jiang Chen’s situation.
I admit that I like this soldier and want to recruit him into the special forces.
However, it's not that I have any selfish motives, but rather, he is really suitable to join the special forces.
Now is a peacetime era, and if an officer wants to be promoted, he can basically only rely on seniority!
But special forces are different. They have actual combat and more opportunities to make merit. I don’t need to say more about how important merit is to an officer, right?
Also, don't forget that Jiang Chen was promoted from the reconnaissance company. Even if I didn't do this, the 228th Regiment would probably have enrolled him in a special operations major."
At this point, Wan Peng paused and continued, "I also know what you want to say. I can't tell you much, but there is one thing I can say...
Special Forces isn't as limited as you think.
Yes, the special forces have not produced any generals so far.
But just because there is nothing now doesn’t mean there won’t be anything in the future.
There should be no large-scale conflicts in the next thirty years at least.
Small-scale combat has always been the advantage of special forces.
I think you should understand this point. With the development of the times, special forces that are better at small-scale combat will inevitably attract attention.
The special forces are low-ranking and high-ranking, all they need is a chance!"
Wan Peng raised a finger.
"An opportunity to expand, change the special forces into special operations brigades, then the limitations of the special forces' development will no longer exist!
The advantages that special forces can provide are unmatched by any other force!
Actual combat! "
Wan Peng slowly uttered two words.
Shi Yi remained silent.
The two talked a lot, and the final result was obvious. Shi Yi was convinced by Wan Peng.
At the same time, in the meeting room of the Southeast Military Region's Langya Special Forces Battalion camp, Captain He Zhijun and a group of squadron leaders were discussing the selection of special forces this year.
……
PS: It’s the weekend soon, so please wait a little longer for the update I promised you.
Since... uh... Xiaobei has been caught slacking off quite a few times, he is now under special attention, so it is difficult for him to write secretly. (??? )
