Chapter Ninety-Seven: Missed Opportunities
86_86624 Lu Zhongchen stood up as he spoke. He knows the chief of his division very well. Yang Yunfeng is talented, capable, courageous, thoughtful, and quick to respond, and is a rare command talent, but he often acts rashly and brings a lot of trouble to himself, so much so that he has worked for seven years in the position of chief of operations, and has become the oldest division chief.
"I'll go first, I'll go first!" Yang Yunfeng saluted and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute," Yang Yunfeng walked to the door, and Lu Zhongchen suddenly said, "Well, your two deputy directors, train them well and see who can take over your class at the end of the year." ”
"Yes!" Yang Yunfeng stood up and replied briefly.
Yang Yunfeng returned to the combat office, all departments were working nervously and orderly, and the sound of tapping the keyboard came into his ears.
Yang Yunfeng looked out the window, the sun was shining on the dry peach tree outside the window, and the birds on the tree were chirping and jumping from branch to branch, as if they were impatient to see that branch sending out new shoots.
"Spring is coming, and the birds know it." Yang Yunfeng thought a little lonely.
Seven years ago, he trained at the Nanjing Army Academy, and his classmates climbed Longwang Mountain near the academy. Twenty or so people waited until the peak of Longwang Mountain, looking far away, full of spirit. Yang Yunfeng pointed to the other direction at the foot of Longwang Mountain and said to the students: "See, it is a university with atmospheric science characteristics, and our Army Academy is located on both sides of Longwang Mountain. If you want me to say, our Army Academy students are the ones who have the world in their minds, and one day in the future, we may be able to influence the changes in the world with every move! ”。
Yang Yunfeng's words won a round of applause.
At the end of the training, Yang Yunfeng was directly appointed as the director of the Operations Division of the Chengdu Theater, and he was the youngest cadre with the rank of full division in the entire theater. Later, with the adjustment of the establishment, he was appointed as the chief of the operations department of the Southwest Theater. At that time, he was in high spirits, and his mood was as bright as the peach blossoms blooming outside the window.
I didn't expect to always encounter awkwardness in the critical period when I was about to be promoted, which affected the pace of promotion, and my classmate had been hanging the rank of major general for several years, and he was still a colonel.
When he was the director of the department for three years, the military region was ready to promote him to the post of deputy director of the logistics department. Although the logistics department is under the management of the military region in terms of personnel, its business involves liaison with the General Logistics Department, so the opinions of the General Logistics Department should also be solicited in the selection of department leaders. When Deputy Minister Gu came to inspect the General Logistics Department, the chief of staff at that time, who was now the commander of the theater, vigorously recommended Yang Yunfeng to Vice Minister Gu. Vice Minister Gu specially received Yang Yunfeng. Surprisingly, Gu blatantly asked for money in the reception, saying that there was a lack of money for the renovation of his hometown house, and asked Yang Yunfeng to sponsor 1 million.
"If you don't have RMB, do you want it?" Yang Yunfeng was very disdainful of Gu's face and asked mischievously.
Gu didn't understand what Yang Yunfeng meant for a while.
"I said, burn the dead man's coins, okay?" Yang Yunfeng explained.
Vice Minister Gu's face changed, and he laughed.
"Xiao Yang, you are a good comrade! I'm going to tease you and see if you make a mistake. As it turns out, you've stood the test! I am very satisfied! ”
The next day, Gu suggested to the commander that he be replaced.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this logistics officer is important, this Yang Yunfeng, he is still young, I think it is better to choose a calm old comrade."
Yang Yunfeng's first chance to be promoted died like this. However, it didn't take long for the news that Gu was investigated and punished for the * problem.
After another two years, Yang Yunfeng ushered in a second chance to be promoted, and the military region was ready to let him go to the army as deputy commander.
At the time of the announcement, he was participating in a drill. The tank he was riding in passed through a narrow intersection. A Maybach was driving across the street. Yang Yunfeng asked a soldier to remind the other party that the road here is narrow, so don't drive over. The other party ignored it and still drove over.
Yang Yunfeng had no choice but to command the tank to retreat and let the other party go first. Who knew that the other party's attitude was extremely arrogant, and he kept scolding.
Yang Yunfeng held back his anger and asked him to drive away quickly, otherwise it would affect the exercise.
"Drill is a bird feather? Don't scare me with this! Hurry up, you will pay for the scratching of the car? Do you know how much my car costs? Saying it scares you to death, 30 million! Scrape off a piece of paint, and you can't pay a year's salary as a poor soldier! ”
Yang Yunfeng was a little annoyed, pointed to the majestic Maybach and shouted: "I don't care if your father is Li Gang or Li Shuangjiang!" Give you five minutes to get out of the way, or I'll run over your thing!" ”
"Li Gang is not worthy of lifting shoes for my father, Li Shuangjiang... A singing one, what a thing! Lao Tzu's background scares you to death when you say it! If there's a kind, you can grind it! The young man who drove out became more and more arrogant, and simply locked the station to the side.
Five minutes passed.
"How long is it until the troops are assembled?" Yang Yunfeng asked.
"A quarter of an hour! If you delay any longer, you won't be able to catch up! Another cadre replied.
Yang Yunfeng sat in the driver's seat, and the tank roared forward, its head held high, and climbed onto the body of the Maybach. How can the poor Maybach withstand the weight of a heavy tank! It made a few painful noises, and with a "click" it collapsed. The tank convoy behind ran over it in turn, and the Maybach worth 25 million turned into a pile of scrap metal in the blink of an eye.
"Stinky soldier, I'll make you regret it!" The young man watched the distant tanks thunder.
Regret may not be, but Yang Yunfeng passed by the throne of the deputy commander.
The young man who seems to have a big background is actually not big, and his background may be stronger than Li Gang, but it may not be much stronger than Li Shuangjiang, but he doesn't know how high the sky is because he has a few money in his family and knows a few provincial and municipal leaders. Nevertheless, he sent the complaint letter to his desk in the war zone. The war zone understood the situation at that time, and Yang Yunfeng's handling was not a big mistake. At that time, the trail had been requisitioned, and the entrances were all marked with signs that read "Military exercises, no civilian vehicles entering", and civilian cars blocked the road and gave him time to leave, but the motorists were arrogant and refused to give way. In the case of time urgency, Yang Yunfeng could only force his way over.
Just because there is no big mistake does not mean that the disposition is completely reasonable.
"Don't you mean to fight with him?" The political commissar pointed to Yang Yunfeng's nose and asked.
As a result, Yang Yunfeng missed his second chance to improve.
In the army, the higher the rank of an officer, the more difficult it is to be promoted, and the fewer opportunities there are, because the positions in the army are pyramid-shaped, and the higher up the ranks, the fewer positions. It is good for a full-time officer to have one or two opportunities for promotion, and many people do not have this opportunity at all. Looking at it this way, Yang Yunfeng has three chances to improve, and it can be regarded as treating him well.
It's just that he always passes by these opportunities
