They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 74: Confer military merit, when did they become so familiar?
martial arts arena.

The four brigades of the artillery brigade were having a discussion together, and officers at all levels were excitedly recounting the results of the evaluation.

From time to time, their eyes turned to Chen Ming. Before today, no one thought that the second team would be able to suppress the competition and win the championship in one fell swoop.

This is the first in the autumn conscription of the entire group army. At least in terms of physical fitness and queue subjects, the Second Battalion of the Artillery Brigade suppressed the recruits of all units.

The training center stood at the gathering position without saying a word. The first place was taken away. No matter how brilliant the subsequent rankings were, and nine of the top ten were taken, it was useless.

"Assembly, assemble, each regiment, each brigade assemble, speed up."

Following the shouts of the police officers, nearly [-] recruits moved quickly and lined up on the martial arts field.

It shows the strict military appearance and strict discipline.

On the parade platform, Chief Luo Wentong stood at the edge with a loudspeaker in his hand, his tiger eyes sweeping across the neat formation.

He laughed loudly and said: "Thousands of miles of Changming Peng spreads its wings, thousands of troops stand by with arrows and bows, dragons soar and tigers howl in the east wind, sweep away the demon clouds and clear the sky of Han Dynasty, comrades, you have presented me with a wonderful game, a game that made me feel so much better." Unforgettable competition scene, worthy of being a good man in our army."

"This year's competition was an eye-opener for me, haha."

"Soldiers are born to be warriors, soldiers of the motherland and soldiers of the people, and that is how it should be."

"Next, I will announce this year's 71st Army autumn recruit competition. The top ten names in the competition. Comrades whose names are read, please come to the stage."

Whoa! !

Thousands of people in the audience erupted.

In previous years, the list was announced by the brigade commander of the training center or the chief of staff of the group army.

Unexpectedly, this year, it was the chief who personally announced it. In the eyes of many recruits, Chief Luo is the biggest leader.

Luo Wentong ignored the commotion in the audience, picked up the list in his hand and said in a loud voice: "The one who ranks first in terms of overall score is Chen Ming, the second brigade of the Artillery Brigade."

Brush brush! ! !
Countless eyes were focused on the position of the second team, and Chen Ming became the focus of the audience.

Shock, envy, jealousy, and resentment gathered in his eyes, even though he knew the result early in the morning.

However, when it was announced, many recruits still felt complicated.

When Zhao Lifei heard the voice on the stage, he ran to Chen Ming with a big grin and helped him straighten his collar, which he had tidied eight hundred times just now.

"Go ahead, don't be afraid, hold your head high and stride forward, come on."

"Yes, squad leader."

Chen Ming couldn't hide the joy on his face, he agreed and walked out of the queue towards the parade platform.

When passing other recruits from the second brigade, no matter whether they belong to the same squad or not, all the recruits cast encouraging glances.

"Brother Chen, your walking posture is better. We are number one. Let's stand up."

"Squad deputy, don't listen to Lao Wang's nonsense, the current posture is quite good."

"Chen Ming, good job."

"Deputy Chen, congratulations."

"Go, Chen Ming."

All the way out of the queue of the second brigade, the surroundings were filled with encouragement, and Chen Ming's chest was also full of pride at this time, and the hard work of more than a month was not in vain.

"No.2, Ye Qingwen."

"No.3, Yang Shengli."

"No.4, Li Kaizhao."

"No.5, Pei Yuanqing."

Name after name was shouted.

From time to time, someone would step out of the entire queue in the martial arts arena and gather towards the military parade platform.

On the stage.

Tang Zhen, the brigade commander of the artillery brigade, was smiling all over his face. He stood behind the commander and kept staring at Chen Ming.

Song Baoguo, the brigade commander of the new training center, stood beside the commander with three big red boxes and a stack of certificates in his hands.

Wait until ten people gather.

Luo Wentong smiled and came to the far left side of the parade platform.

"Chen Ming, Ye Qingwen, Yang Shengli."

"arrive."

"According to the reward rules of our army's evaluation, the top three will receive the third-class personal merit awarded by the army every year."

"Now, on behalf of the 71st Army, I confer military merits on you. I hope that you will continue to work hard in the next military career and continue to open up a new chapter of your own."

"Understood?"

"Yes."

Chen Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart, watching a gleaming military medal hung on his left chest by the chief.

Ka Ka Ka! !

Not far from the stage, Chai Shuyao picked up the camera hanging around his neck and kept taking pictures.

The process of awarding military honors was very short and did not last long. In addition to the top three being awarded military honors, No. 4 to No. 10 also received certificates of commendation.

"Congratulations, little comrade with a military spirit." When Chen Ming walked off the parade platform, Chai Shuyao playfully raised her little hand to say hello.

"Lieutenant Chai, thank you!" Chen Ming saluted solemnly. He was not an officer, and he was not as casual as this officer from the Propaganda Department.

"Well, you're welcome." Taking advantage of Chief Luo and other units on the parade platform, No. [-] was already preparing to withdraw.

Chai Shuyao trotted a few steps to catch up with Chen Ming, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Chen Ming, I have one last question to interview you."

"Say it!" Chen Ming stood at attention and saluted.

"Well, there's no need to be so serious. I've seen your information. Are you from Pengcheng?"

"Yes."

"Well, that's it. As for me, the publicity topic I'm responsible for this year is to interview the new comrades' meritorious service performance, as well as some daily training aspects. I may also go to your second brigade to ask you some questions in the future."

"Since your home is relatively close to here, if the military region subsequently notifies local units of your meritorious service, when the Pengcheng Veterans Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Armed Forces go to your home to deliver the good news, I will also go to your home to follow up and take photos. Let me tell you in advance. .”

Oh!
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment. This matter of filming was decided by the military region. Is it possible that he, a new recruit who is not even a top soldier, can still refuse?
However, Chai Shuyao's words reminded Chen Ming that his family had always been unfavorable about his becoming a soldier and had to persuade him every time he called.

If military merit can be sent home, with gongs and drums beating, and people celebrating along the way, this is obviously a good thing for him.

During this period of time, I was only thinking about getting rankings and getting military merit, and I almost forgot about the good news from the military merit gathering.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming asked: "Lieutenant Chai, when will this military achievement report be delivered home, can it be tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Chai Shuyao glanced at Chen Ming in surprise and shook his head, "Didn't Captain Guo tell you in advance?"

"The good news of the third-class meritorious service obtained in the recruiting competition every year will not be notified to the local unit until you are awarded the title. It is still early."

"Besides, even if I deliver good news tomorrow, I don't have time. After this competition, the army's winter training will enter the intense preparation stage, and I want to follow suit."

Well, yes, Chen Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He is not considered a soldier now, he is considered a private soldier after he is awarded the rank. As for the company commander not mentioning this matter, it is too easy to understand.

Before starting, no one thought that someone would take first place, and the top ten were not considered much.

So Zhao Lifei should be bolder.

I also thought that Chen Ming could make a top five or something.

Seeing Chen Ming pondering, Chai Shuyao thought that he was a little disappointed because he couldn't send the happy news back in time.

He reached out and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just wait for more than a month."

"At that time, the big military training is over, and it's time for you to join the company, come on."

After Chai Shuyao finished speaking, she hugged the camera and left with the people from the Propaganda Department.

By this time, the leaders on the parade stage had already left, and the training center was slowly evacuating.

The four recruit brigades of the artillery brigade were all waiting for Chen Ming. The intimate conversation between the two was seen by more than 400 people.

Wang Shuaibing blinked, the corners of Zhao Lifei's mouth twitched slightly, and even the always serious Jiang Peng looked confused.

When did these two get along so well?
