Chapter 425: Commendation Conference (4,000 words)
On the way back to China, Jiang Fan stood on the deck blowing the sea breeze.
Looking at the endless blue sea, I was thinking about the new naval special forces after returning to the station.
This time to fight pirates on Irfan Island.
It's not quite what he imagined.
Pirates were more difficult than he thought.
In normal training and drills, both the red and blue sides are desperately resisting, organized and disciplined.
But real pirates have a lot of flexibility in organization and discipline, and the experience they have gained from previous drills does not apply.
At this moment, Yang Rui walked over and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Jiang Fan smiled and replied casually, "It's okay." ”
Yang Rui: "In this operation, you played a major leadership role. ”
"I heard from the superiors that they are preparing to form a naval special forces."
"When you go back this time, in addition to being able to make great contributions, the position of captain of the naval special forces should also be yours."
“……”
Jiang Fan and his party returned to the station.
The rescue mission was successfully completed and had a huge impact.
For this reason, the Navy of the Southeast Military Region specially held a commendation meeting for them.
The top head of the Navy, personally took part in the event.
Under the podium, there were many leaders of the Southeast Navy and outstanding soldiers.
All of them came to participate in this commendation meeting, which is enough to see the importance that the Navy attaches to this conference.
After Long Baichuan took the microphone and said two official polite words, he began to get to the point.
"This time to rescue Irfan Island, the Chinese crew is being tied up on the mission."
"The eight members of the Jiaolong special combat team have performed outstandingly, and the eight of them, under the leadership of Comrade Jiang Fan, have gone deep into the pirate group."
"Not only did they succeed in rescuing the crew, but they also succeeded in terminating the forces of two-thirds of the pirates on Irfan Island, about 400 people."
“……”
"For this reason, the superiors will give each of them a personal second-class meritorious reward!"
"Now please, Jiaolong Special Combat Team, eight team members come to the stage to accept the commendation!"
Yang Rui and the eight of them immediately came out of the team and walked onto the podium amid everyone's applause.
The leaders and soldiers in the audience expressed their doubts when they heard Long Baichuan's last words.
"Isn't that very famous Jiang Fan, who took the eight of them on a rescue mission?"
"Why now, only these eight people are allowed to come to power?"
"And the most important team leader, Jiang Fan was not called?"
"It is estimated that his performance is the most outstanding, so I have to take it out separately to praise him."
"I guess it's not that simple."
“……”
Yang Rui and the eight of them received the military merit medal issued by the chief himself.
Then Yang Rui, as the captain, simply made a few comments about getting the military merit medal.
He walked off the podium.
Long Baichuan took the microphone again and said solemnly: "This time, as the captain of the rescue mission, Jiang Fan's performance is particularly outstanding. ”
"In the rescue operation, he played an important role in leading the whole team."
"And at the International Hunter School, I graduated with the first place in honor."
"The inter-military special forces competition I participated in not long ago."
"With an absolute advantage, I crushed the second place and won the first place!"
"Due to Jiang Fan's outstanding performance, the headquarters decided to award Comrade Jiang Fan a first-class meritorious service!"
When everyone heard the words "first-class merit", they were all stunned.
You know, there is a saying that the third-class merit is taken casually, the second-class merit is taken lying down, and the first-class merit is taken by the family.
Although this statement is not entirely true, it is enough to see how difficult it is to get a first-class merit!
Very few people can live to get first-class merit.
The chief saw Jiang Fan come out of the team and come up to receive the military merit medal.
Be the first to start applauding, breaking the silence of the scene.
Immediately after that, violent applause rang out.
The big guy was so shocked just now that he forgot that he should applaud now.
When the chief saw Jiang Fan coming, he got up from his seat from a distance.
Prepare to award Jiang Fan with a military merit medal.
Jiang Fan came to him and saluted very solemnly, and the chief smiled.
First, he stretched out his hand, shook hands with Jiang Fan, and praised with a very pleased smile: "Jiang Fan, you are really young and promising." ”
"I didn't expect you to be so young."
"In the future, we can make great use of the navy of the Southeast Military Region."
“……”
Everyone in the audience watched Jiang Fan being treated so warmly by the chief.
They all applauded vigorously, and they were envious.
There are many chiefs, looking at Jiang Fan, and can't help but sigh with emotion: "This Jiang Fan looks like he is in his early twenties. ”
"It's so powerful, I thought he was at least in his thirties."
"What a young man!"
"Some people are born heroes!"
"The first place in the International Hunter Academy, the first place in the special forces competition, and the rescue of the kidnapped crew members in Huaxia."
"If you take out any of these things, it's enough for others to lie on the merit book and eat for a lifetime."
"No wonder the superiors want to give first-class merit."
“……”
Xiang Yu, Liu Xiaoshan, Deng Jiuguang, and the people of the fourth company were all happy and almost broke their hands.
Even more excited than when they got the first-class merit themselves.
They know that Jiang Fan is worth it!
The people of the fourth company are even more happy to show off to others.
"Jiang Fan, our company commander!"
"His deeds are more than these three, they are all said, and they can be said that they are not the same for three days and three nights!"
Jiang Fan took over the first-class meritorious service medal and delivered a speech.
The supreme head of the navy took the microphone and said solemnly: "Our army is ready to form a naval special forces. ”
"In view of Comrade Jiang Fan's excellent performance, he is appointed as the captain of the naval special forces of the Southeast Military Region in the future!"
"Promoted to Colonel!"
"Today it is officially awarded the rank, and the selection of the special forces of the Navy will begin at a later date."
"Welcome everyone, enthusiastically sign up for the special forces selection!"
When this news came out, more violent applause hit the sky.
The supreme head of the navy personally awarded Jiang Fan the rank of lieutenant.
Everyone in the audience looked at Jiang Fan with admiration, and they were really envious of others.
At a young age, he didn't come to the Navy for long.
Directly became a major, and also formed special forces.
He is only in his early twenties, and he has directly done things that others have a high probability of not being able to do in their lifetime.
Some of the soldiers under the podium have already begun to discuss signing up for the special forces selection.
"Captain Jiang Fan is so powerful, when he is a soldier, he will definitely be a strong soldier!"
"I'm going to sign up for the selection and be the first batch of special forces in the navy of our Southeast Military Region."
“……”
Inside Long Baichuan's office.
"How is it, Comrade Major, how does it feel to get a first-class merit?"
Long Baichuan asked Jiang Fan with a smile.
In the office, Wuhan Iron and Steel and Kang Lei are also here.
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "It's okay!" ”
Kang Lei scolded with a smile: "What is called okay!" ”
"It's all this time, what kind of modesty are you kid playing!"
"As the saying goes, the third-class merit is led by standing, the second-class merit is sitting, and the first-class merit is collared by lying down!"
"You are now healthy and leading first-class merits, which is very rare in the Chinese army in the new era!"
"Even if we three old guys, none of them have ever won a first-class merit! How old are you? ”
Jiang Fan still smiled: "It's better to be modest!" Hehe! ”
Long Baichuan and the others smiled again, and did not dwell on this issue anymore.
"Alright, now let's get down to business."
Long Baichuan Chong Jiang Fan asked, "Now, the special forces competition has also come to an end. The Navy Headquarters of the Southeast Military Region also issued an order for our marines to formally form special forces. ”
"As I said before, you will serve as the chief instructor of the selection. Do you need us to cooperate with you? ”
Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said: "Actually, in our Marine Corps, there are many comrades who have reached the level of special forces. ”
"For example, Yang Rui of the Jiaolong Commando, and the ace commando of the Dragon Shark Squadron."
Long Baichuan said: "I know that they have the strength of special forces, but we have such a large navy, and there are only a dozen of them who have this strength." That's not enough! ”
"Especially in the past few days, the international situation is grim, the coastline is so long, the offense of armed groups and pirate groups, and the possible evacuation of overseas Chinese, relying on these two commandos alone is simply not enough."
"We need a bigger and stronger integrated special operations force! Able to pull out at any time to carry out actual combat tasks! ”
Jiang Fan nodded, "I know!" ”
"However, if I am alone, my energy is limited, and it is difficult to build a force with full special combat effectiveness!"
"I need someone to help me!"
"Who?" Long Baichuan asked.
"The four people who went with me to participate in the hunter training, Lei Zhan from the Northwest Military Region, Xu Sanduo and Chengcai from the Beijing Military Region, and Long Xiaoyun from the Central Military Region!"
"And the three special forces I brought out, He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu!"
"Then, add Yang Rui and their Jiaolong commando."
Long Baichuan groaned slightly: "It's easy to say here from the wolf teeth, after all, we are all from the same military region." Not to mention Yang Rui's side, as long as there is no actual combat mission, they can come over to assist you. ”
"But the four Lei Zhan you mentioned, I have to talk to the head of their troops to be sure."
Jiang Fan nodded.
Wu Gang asked: "Then the selection candidates, where do you plan to choose them from?" From our brigade? ”
Jiang Fan said: "It depends on how many special combat members you need me to train." ”
Long Baichuan said: "According to the instructions of the superiors, there are about a hundred people." ”
Jiang Fan said: "That's the size of the two special operations squadrons. In this case, less than half of the team can be trained by me. ”
"I need to pick from other troops."
Long Baichuan asked, "Our naval force?" ”
Jiang Fan shook his head slightly, "Not only that, it may extend to the army and the armed police." I need HQ to give me permission to choose! ”
Long Baichuan said: "This is easy to do, I'll apply to the brigade." However, you also need to be prepared for rejection. ”
"Perhaps, the soldier you selected wants to participate in the selection, but the boss of their army may not release him. He will not reject you openly, but he will certainly make stumbling blocks stop you. ”
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly.
Of course he knew that.
No one wants good soldiers to be poached by other troops, okay?
Just like Kang Lei didn't want himself and He Chenguang to be taken away by Fan Tianlei before.
Although Kang Lei was fooled by Fan Tianlei with wine later.
"One more point."
Wuhan Iron and Steel Chong Jiangfan said: "Because the formation of the naval special forces has been announced, almost all the soldiers of the brigade want to sign up. ”
"What do you think? Let them all participate? ”
Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How is this possible?" There are more than 10,000 people in our brigade, all of whom participated, where did we get so much energy and resources. ”
"It's simple, though."
"I set an assessment subject, and we will spend three days and let them conduct the assessment in batches."
"When the time comes, I will observe the whole process, and as long as it meets the standard, I will list the names."
Wu Gang nodded, "That's good." At the very least, we have to get them all involved, and we don't have any regrets. ”
Jiang Fan looked at Long Baichuan hesitantly, and stopped talking.
Long Baichuan also saw Jiang Fan's expression, and immediately smiled: "What else do you have to ask, just say, you're welcome!" If you can do it, I will definitely satisfy you! ”
Jiang Fan said: "Actually, it's not about special forces. ”
"It's about the Four Companies."
"Four?"
The three of them were stunned.
Kang Lei smiled bitterly: "Are you worried, after you go to become the chief instructor or serve as the captain of the special brigade in the future, who will lead the fourth company?" ”
Jiang Fan nodded and said with a wry smile: "The Fourth Company was trained by me, and according to the special forces standards I set, it is estimated that only a small number of them can pass the assessment." ”
"The rest will continue to stay in the fourth company. In addition, new members will continue to be added in the future. ”
"I'm afraid that after I leave, this group of guys will not be convinced by the new company commander and instructor."
"So what I think about is whether the two old squad leaders, Deng Jiuguang and Liu Xiaoshan, have a chance to be promoted and let them continue to lead the fourth company to continue. With their experience and strength, being the commander of the fourth company is enough! ”
"At their current age and fitness, they are past their prime. Although according to strength, it is not a problem to join the special forces directly, but it is of little significance. ”
When Long Baichuan heard this, he nodded in a deep voice, "Actually, you don't need to say this, we will also start to apply for them to provide information." ”
"When the two of them were young, they also made a lot of contributions. It's just a pity that he was injured in the back, and his combat exploits are not enough to improve. ”
"However, this time I went to participate in the special forces competition, and the results were not bad. If they can still make a little bit of war in the future, it will definitely be no problem to promote it! ”
When Wu Gang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Half a year later, isn't there an international scout competition?" They've competed before and they've won first place. ”
"If you can still lead the team over this time and get a good result, you don't need to be in the first place, the top three will be considered meritorious!"
Jiang Fan knew that he was talking about the Mars International Scout Contest in the TV series.
At that time, Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them went.
Long Baichuan said: "I also have this intention. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Fan: "But don't worry, after you leave, I will let them temporarily take charge of the Fourth Company and be responsible for all matters of the Fourth Company." ”
Jiang Fan nodded and straightened, "Yes!" Thank you, Captain! ”
Some people died, but not completely......
