Ballistic Silence of Special Years

"Hou Jun, that's fine! Kill the veterans of the Blood Wolf Brigade Commando!"

As soon as he entered the tent of the company headquarters, the company elder Ji was the first to come over and pour cold water on Hou Jun.

"But don't panic! Don't float! Let me tell you, it's because of your luck! I watched your every move on the screen during the whole confrontation exercise. Your victory this time has an element of luck!"

"I know." Hou Jun was a little displeased, and replied softly and with force: "But if you can't stand it, you are lucky! Besides, the company commander, you have no ability, even if you are lucky, you can't win, right?"

Ji Zhizhao chuckled, raised his hand and nodded at him, turned his head and said to Zhuang Yan: "Brigade Commander, he is still not convinced!"

Smiling solemnly, he waved to Hou Jun.

"Come here, let's talk later."

The tent was large, and there was a table at the back with teacups and teapots on it.

Seriously sit there and make tea.

Hou Jun, who followed Zhuang Yan, quickly stood up straight and saluted with a slap.

With a serious smile, he motioned for him to sit down: "Sit down and drink tea."

Hou Jun didn't dare to move.

Seriously looked up at Hou Jun again, and signaled again: "This is an order."

Since it was an order, Hou Jun had nothing to say.

He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The commander on the opposite side has a higher military rank than his own brigade commander. Sit across from him and drink tea?
This couldn't help but make him, a veteran, feel a little nervous.

But when I looked back, I thought, hey, the chief executive is not a big monster, and he doesn't eat people, so why should he be afraid?

Sit down!
Bing Youzi's tough air surged up, and Hou Jun was not polite, and sat down directly on the horse seat opposite Minister Yan.

Seriously moved a teacup in front of him and poured him a cup of tea.

This time, Hou Jun was not calm again.

The dignified head of the family poured tea for himself.

If nothing else, at least he is rude.

Regardless of military rank and position, even in terms of age, seriousness is an elder, and he should pour tea for others by himself.

"Chief, this... I should come."

Seated at the side, Zhuang Yan picked up his teacup, took a sip of the strong tea in it, pointed at him solemnly and said, "Minister Yan used to be my same-year soldier."

As he spoke, the man laughed.

"But he entered the ministry faster than me. I was promoted after serving as a soldier for many years. He was directly admitted to the military academy. After entering the military academy, he became an officer. The path he took was different, so now he is a minister. , I am a brigade commander."

Holding the teacup, Hou Jun didn't understand why Zhuang Yan said this to himself.

Zhuang Yan continued: "When we were soldiers, both of us were in the same squad, in the same platoon, and later we were selected together to the special brigade of the military region. After that, he went to the military academy, and I continued to serve in the army, and then went abroad for further studies. , He came to my army to guide the work, and I was an acting platoon leader at the time..."

Suddenly the subject changed and he asked Hou Jun: "I remember you also served as an acting platoon leader when you were in Division E."

Hou Jun quickly replied: "Yes, I have been here for a few years. At that time, Company Commander Xie was my comrade-in-arms in the same year, and he trusted me more."

Solemnly said: "It's not just trust, but your own quality is very good. As a grassroots commander, you are qualified. Just like this confrontation exercise, although your company commander said that the first squad is based on luck, but As you said just now, without a good military foundation, even if you are lucky, you will not be able to grasp the opportunity. The performance of the first squad this time was beyond my expectations. I thought our company would lose in this actual confrontation. But you have performed miracles."  …

Hou Jun said: "Actually, Tong Pai has trained us well in the past six months. He is fierce, but the training is absolutely in place. The soldiers in our squad have made rapid progress. I think that after another year, the combat effectiveness will be initially formed. .”

Hearing Zhuang Yan kept praising himself, his heart hung up instead.

He knows the troops.

Where is the army?
When there is good news for you, he will kick your ass to keep you from drifting, and then tell you to go back to the training ground and practice hard.

In the army, when your superior suddenly treats you politely, politely, makes sense and starts to praise you, it is not a good sign.

Sure enough, Zhuang Yan's next words became confusing.

"Hou Jun, have you ever thought about serving in another place?"

"Ah?" Hou Jun didn't realize it for a moment: "Want to serve in another place?"

Holding the tea in his hand, he looked solemn, as if he had been acupunctured.

At a certain moment, Hou Jun thought that Zhuang Yan was informing him of good news, telling him that he was about to be raised.

Serve in another place, maybe it means that after being promoted, it will be assigned to other troops.

But after thinking about it, I felt the army again.

There is a principle of "go back and forth" in the promotion of cadres in the army. Unless there are extremely rare circumstances, the officers who are promoted will return to the original army and be appointed on the spot.

Seeing that Hou Jun was a little surprised, Zhuang Yan pointed to the seriousness on the other side: "The thing is like this, Minister Yan's driver has improved, and it is estimated that he will not be able to be his driver anymore in a few months. He is my old comrade-in-arms, and he is also a I was born in the special forces, and I have special feelings for the special forces. I want to choose a driver here in our brigade. After thinking about it, I think you are quite suitable. I heard that you have a driver's license and your driving skills are not bad."

Hou Jun was completely stunned.

The news was too sudden.

He was completely at a loss.

Minister Yan wants to be his driver himself?

It must be great news to put this matter on someone else.

Following the Chief Chief, the future is bright.

And he knew that the chief came from the headquarters, and he would definitely go back to the north. His hometown is over there, so close!
Zhuang Yan thought he didn't understand, and added: "When you come to Minister Yan, you have many choices. Compared with the grassroots, there are many ways to improve. You still have two years of service. Take advantage of this opportunity.”

When it comes to this point, no matter how stupid people are, they will understand.

Going with Minister Yan will naturally make arrangements in two years, but there is no problem at all if you want to stay in the army and continue working.

That's for sure.

But why did the brigade commander say this to himself?
"Brigade Commander... I just want to stay here and work hard..."

He was a little flustered.

The calmness of those veterans suddenly disappeared, disappeared.

Hou Jun put down his teacup, looked at Zhuang Yan, his eyes lost his stubbornness, instead he begged a little more pitifully.

"Brigade Commander, do you think I am too old to stay in the special warfare brigade?" …

Zhuang Yan felt a slight pain in his heart. Looking at the sergeant who was about to be discharged in front of him, his breathing became a little heavy.

He was promoted as a soldier, and he knows what a promotion means to a soldier.

"Hou Jun, you were included in the list of candidates submitted to the group army by the brigade this time, but... you were not approved."

After thinking for a while, he said: "The reason for not approving is because..."

At this point, the solemn words stopped.

He couldn't bear to look at Hou Jun, who was getting disappointed little by little.

"Actually, there's no reason. Anyway, I didn't approve it. I tried my best. The military has their considerations. So, if you want to stay in the army, going with the minister is the best choice. If you are willing to retire in two years, You can stay here, but the chances of being promoted are slim... I don't want to hide it from you. Back then, your old company commander Xie Dong mentioned that he would take you to the armored regiment. I thought you were a good sniper. So I circled your name, therefore, I must be responsible to you. This is also the purpose of my coming to you today. I think the sooner I can tell you these things clearly, the better. You have the right not to be told at the end. Years in the military Whether it is long or short, sometimes you have to make a choice, tell me, what is your choice?"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became frozen.

Even Elder Ji had left quietly at some point.

In the entire tent of the company headquarters, there were actually only three people, serious, solemn and Hou Jun.

Seriously, he didn't speak, and silently sipped the tea in his cup.

Zhuang Yan kept looking at Hou Jun, waiting for the final answer.

After a long time, Hou Jun finally picked up the cup and drank the first sip of tea, then put down the cup, and said without any emotion: "Brigade Commander, can I think about it before replying to you?"
