B Military District, General Staff.

In the conference room, Liu Heng, deputy chief of staff, was giving everyone the final points of the exercise.

Today's meeting is the military region's pledge meeting for the "Leapfrog 07" exercise.

Because Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff Li Zhenxiang has already gone to the General Headquarters, it is natural that Deputy Chief of Staff Liu will be presiding over the meeting today.

The roles to be played by both sides of the exercise have been decided long ago.

The red side that was the main attack was the combined forces of the C Military Region, which were waiting for work.

The blue side is the joint combat unit of the B Military Region.

What is somewhat surprising is that in this exercise, the B Military Region did not send Deputy Chief of Staff Liu to serve as the commander of the blue side.

Instead, Deng Jiahua, director of the Operations Department of the Military Region, who had just been promoted to the rank of deputy army, was appointed to play this role.

At this time, Deng Jiahua, who was sitting next to Deputy Chief of Staff Liu, was sitting precariously with a solemn face.

Regarding the heavy task entrusted by the head of the military region, Minister Deng did not expect it before.

But after the real order is given, he will not back down.

At this time, listening carefully to the deputy chief of staff's suggestions, Deng Jiahua was also silently thinking about the problem in his heart.

"There are still five days left before the official start of the exercise. Beginning tomorrow, the troops participating in the exercise of Military Region B will march to the designated areas one after another. ”

"The requirements of the headquarters are: Three days to complete the assembly of all the participating troops."

Liu Heng's gaze swept over the bodies of each officer under him, and he said calmly.

In the last row of the conference room, Su Qiyue held a pen and carefully recorded the words of Deputy Chief of Staff Liu one by one.

The area of this exercise was placed on a high ground in the northernmost part of Military Region C.

In terms of straight-line distance, it is 2,000 kilometers from the side of Military Region B.

The scale and distance of the exercise are unprecedented in recent years.

You know, this is not the operation of a mechanized infantry division, or a motorized brigade, but a real three-division-brigade level unit, which maneuvers thousands of miles away.

This trip alone is very amazing.

In addition, in addition to the director's department, a viewing group was also invited to the exercise.

For example, some analysts and military theory experts from the G and N military regions were invited to watch the battle.

For his troops being put in the spotlight, Su Qiyue did not feel uncomfortable.

At the mobilization meeting of the T Division, he also talked about his views, and felt that there was no need to make some difficult tactical arrangements in order to cater to the ideas of the spectator group.

His suggestion was very recognized by division commander Zhao Guodong and political commissar Li Aijun.

So when mobilizing everyone, the two bigwigs also put forward requirements.

We are required to face this exercise calmly with a calmer attitude, and not to rush forward, still less to ignore the overall situation for the sake of gaining merit.

It should be said that the pre-war adjustment on the T Division's side has been done well.

On the side of the Special Warfare Brigade, Su Qiyue also had a phone call with Yuan Lang, and probably talked about his concerns.

With Yuan Lang's shrewdness and ability, of course, he will not make a mistake.

As a matter of fact, the special operations brigade's control of the psychology of the combatants does not need Su Qiyue to worry too much at all.

However, both old units were able to calm down.

But another friendly army may not be able to do it.

When he came to participate in this swearing-in meeting today, Su Qiyue noticed that several regiment commanders of the U division had excited expressions on their faces.

In particular, after hearing that the head of the general department and the heads of several military regions would observe the entire exercise, these regiment commanders could hardly hide their surprise.

In fact, Su Qiyue can also understand their thoughts.

After all, there are too few opportunities to behave in front of the headquarters and the heads of major military districts.

With such an opportunity, everyone naturally has to take advantage of it and strive to show their faces.

Even some of the main regiment commanders of their own T Division will probably have some ideas.

Su Qiyue never thought that there was anything wrong with behaving well in front of the leader.

He was just worried that paying too much attention to the evaluation of the leaders would make the officers and men participating in the exercise mentally unbalanced.

Once the officers above start to be calm, then the problem may really come.

Of course, Su Qiyue also knows.

It is certainly not only the joint forces of their own B Military Region that are out of balance.

On the side of the C Military Region, because of participating in the exercise at their own doorstep, it may be more difficult to stabilize their mentality.

When both sides are in an abnormal state, it depends on who can return to normal sooner.

"Starting tomorrow, Division T will set off first, followed by Division U."

Liu Heng's gaze swept over Zhao Guodong, the commander of the T division, and Zhang Yuanchao, the commander of the U division, and explained lightly.

"Yes, Deputy Chief of Staff!"

Zhao Guodong and Zhang Yuanchao stood up at the same time and agreed cleanly.

"Iron Brigade Commander, your special operations brigade has transport planes here to transport troops, and the speed is faster, so you can leave later."

"But no later than noon tomorrow, you know?"

The railway didn't say much, and nodded directly.

Liu Heng talked about the precautions for departure, and then turned his gaze to Deng Jiahua.

"Minister Deng, you are the commander of our side in this exercise, and you will tell you about the personnel arrangements of the specific headquarters."

Deng Jiahua responded and quickly told his arrangement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, because of the special situation, our headquarters has three deputy general staff officers this time, namely Comrade Zhao Guodong, commander of the T Division, Comrade Zhang Yuanchao, commander of the U Division, and Comrade Railway, commander of the Special Operations Brigade."

After Minister Deng finished speaking, Zhao Guodong, Zhang Yuanchao, and the railway straightened their chests at the same time.

They are both cadres at the division level and military commanders of the three main forces, and the three of them serve as deputy general staff officers, which is also expected by all.

may be slightly inferior to Zhao Guodong and Zhang Yuanchao, the two veteran divisions, in terms of qualifications.

But he himself is also the deputy director of the operations department of the military district, and no one can say anything about this post.

Just when everyone nodded secretly, Deng Jiahua spoke again.

"In addition, because there are as many as three participating units in this exercise, and none of them are from the same group army, I discussed with my comrades that a new post should be created on the side of the headquarters......

Hearing this, the cadres of all regiments attending the meeting showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Normally, in a military exercise, apart from the commander and the deputy general staff, none of the remaining personnel of the command have any titles.

The existence of a large number of operational staff officers and technical officers is the norm.

Now that Minister Deng has clearly pointed out that if he wants to create a new post, it will certainly not be as simple as an operational staff officer.

Soon, Minister Deng began to speak: "Based on some experience of the various composite battalions of the military region, we have studied and decided to call this newly created post the chief staff officer. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of all the cadres in the conference room fell on Su Qiyue.

The position of chief staff officer was the first to be established in the digital synthesis battalion of the T division.

Subsequently, it was also used by various synthetic battalions of the military region.

Now that Minister Deng has established this position in his own staff, there is no doubt that there are some hints at something.

Sure enough, Deng Jiahua soon revealed the answer.

"After discussing with several deputy general staff officers, I decided to appoint Comrade Su Qiyue as our chief staff officer for this exercise......

Although many people had already guessed this result in advance, after Minister Deng said it, everyone was still a little shocked.

For example, Zhang Mingyang, the deputy commander of the T Division, is one of them.

Speaking of which, Zhang Mingyang is an old qualification in the T division.

Compared with the deputy division commander and chief of staff of the U Division, he felt that no matter what aspect he was, the first degree should be above him.

If we were to choose a chief of staff in this exercise, we would definitely have a better chance.

But now, his chief staff officer, who is at his fingertips, has been robbed.

The person who robbed this is still Su Qiyue, a junior in his own division.

This result made Zhang Mingyang really puzzled.

Just when he was secretly sulking, a questioning voice had already sounded in front.

"Minister Deng, according to what you just said, this chief staff officer should be to help make suggestions at the headquarters."

"But Comrade July, who is himself a commander and fighter of the digital synthesis battalion, is to command the operation. It's not appropriate to let him be the chief staff officer, right? ”

It was Qiao Polin, deputy commander of the U Division, who spoke.

His relationship with Chen Jie, chief of staff of the division, has never been very good.

The last time I visited the T Division, Deputy Division Commander Qiao was not present.

One of the reasons is also because of Chen Jie's existence.

After the U Division and his entourage returned, from the division commander Zhang Yuanchao, political commissar Wei Ziqiang, to the chief of staff Chen Jie, they were all amazed by this Su Qiyue.

Qiao Bolin was a little unimpressed by this.

I just heard Minister Deng announce that he actually let this stinky boy serve as the "chief staff officer", isn't that a higher status than himself?

Qiao Polin couldn't bear this breath.

At this time, it is reasonable to suddenly refute it.

After Qiao Polin finished speaking, several bigwigs on the side of the T division were silent.

Zhao Guodong and Li Aijun were naturally dissatisfied with his words.

But there is also some truth in the argument of this deputy division commander Qiao.

The two of them are not in a position to refute anything for the time being.

Like these two, Zhang Mingyang did not say anything.

Although he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, he could still distinguish between personal honor and disgrace and group honor.

Since this "chief staff officer" will not fall on his head no matter what, then Su Qiyue is better than this guy with a cloudy face all day long.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingyang slowly sat up straight and waited for Minister Deng to speak.

"Deputy Division Commander Qiao, there must be something wrong with you."

Deng Jiahua looked at Qiao Bolin, and there was a hint of criticism in his words.

"The role of this chief staff officer in wartime can be to give us advice at the headquarters, or to lead troops at the front line, there is no such thing!"

"It's the twenty-first century, and the wartime communication system is so developed. If the operational staff officer is not at the headquarters, can't he give advice to the headquarters? ”

After a pause, Deng Jiahua continued: "Comrade Su Qiyue's ability is very clear to everyone. ”

"The appointment of him as this 'chief operational staff officer' is more for the sake of changes on the battlefield."

"Moreover, Comrade July is very familiar with the tactics and combat methods of the T Division and the Special Operations Brigade. He came to serve as this 'chief staff officer', and it is likely that he will play a key role when the war situation is scorching! ”

"This is the real purpose of this appointment of the headquarters......"
