Brigade headquarters.

When Chen Ming came back from the review meeting, it was almost afternoon.

Brigade Commander Xu Wenqian did not come back at all, but stayed at the division headquarters to discuss the arrangements for the future command and dispatch department.

The director's department was actually called many years ago, and at that time, operations were mainly based on scripts.

It is the body responsible for organizing and directing military exercises.

Depending on the scale, subject and purpose of the exercise, they are usually responsible for the overall work of the exercise, including the adjustment and evaluation of the exercise.

It belongs completely to the battlefield third party.

The directing department and the directing department have not changed much in terms of rules and regulations, the former is similar to the producer, including the wargame deduction in the early stage of the war, and the combat script, all of which are in charge of the producer.

The directing department is more like a director, coordinating the overall situation but not responsible for the production, to put it bluntly, it is to put aside the script and control the overall situation.

No matter who the two sides of the battle are, the command and dispatch department will send people to follow and guide the battlefield situation at any time, which can not only set up problems for the Red Army, but also for the Blue Army.

The position is more biased towards the third party than before, but it is not neutral.

In the current situation, if it changes, the division headquarters will have to use the combat units directly under it.

For example, units such as the reconnaissance battalion, the fire department, and the heavy fire battalion directly under the division cannot be transferred at will in the future.

Of course, Chen Ming also knows that this thing is all on the surface.

What is the purpose of the existence of the Blues?

Isn't it independent of other combat units, and for the Red Army units to enter the real battlefield from the operational range of the Blue Army.

In the final analysis, the Blues and the Command Department are still in the same group, and the name is slightly different from the previous practice.

In the afternoon, if the brigade commander did not come back, Chen Ming had to convene the whole brigade and battalion commanders by himself, and all of them went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

For operational reform, brainstorming and other tasks, a general arrangement.

The composition of Skynet is not so easy, and a separate command system, a fire control system, is required to envelop the entire Niubei Mountain.

Underground, in the air, and even in the sea, everywhere must be monitored by Skynet.

It can be said that as long as the Skynet system is not broken, the combat units of the Red Army will ascend Niutou Mountain, their every move, all their arrangements.

will be exposed under the noses of the Blues.

The Blues command will be in control of all the opponents' actions, as the previous directors did.

This is originally the Blues, after all, it is the host, and it manages its own one-third of an acre of land all year round, how can it not have this means.

According to Chief of Staff Jiang's intentions, the troops that will land on Niutoushan next time will no longer be limited to the army.

The Marine Corps, the Air Assault Brigade, and the Synthetic Force, if you add a strategic support force, equivalent to the four major arms, to challenge the Blue Army's Skynet system.

This is also inevitable.

After all, simulating a real battlefield, there are not only the army in the army, but also the air force, navy, strategic resources, and rocket forces, which will be put into use when the real war starts.

Merely training the army will not play an all-round role in training troops.

"The battle will be even harder in the future." After Chen Ming finished the brigade headquarters meeting, he threw the matter of finalizing the post-war training program to Deputy Chief of Staff Shan Chao.

Shan Chao used to be the commander of the first battalion of the 169th Brigade, and in terms of qualifications, he was still the old battalion commander of Du Longfei, the commander of the first regiment.

I dare not say how strong the ability is, at least it is no problem to take care of the staff of a brigade.

Chen Ming handed over the matter to him, not for training, but for a long time in the future, his energy will not be focused on training soldiers in the brigade.

The Theater Army Command has entrusted him with the task of rectification, at least in the past few months, and he has been busy.

The 71st Army held a military games, and he had to go over to attend the opening ceremony, and after the end, he would go to the dragon's tooth and invite people to come over and jointly form Skynet.

Chen Ming is also under a lot of pressure.

The Red Army that will come again next time will not be comparable to the 5th Brigade this time, not that the Red Army that will come next time will be stronger than the 5th Brigade, and many arms will climb Niutou Mountain.

A simple Niutou Lake, Niubei Mountain, can't stop them.

The Red Army has all-weather, all-terrain landing conditions, and without Skynet to suppress them, I am afraid that on the first day of the war, the Red Army will be able to hit three shots.

Although the power of the synthetic force is not small, it can't stop the three armed forces or even the four branches of the armed forces that others have combined, right?

Therefore, the Skynet operation is imminent.

Who knows when the next battle will start, the chief above will not listen to you how difficult the process is, at most give you time to prepare.

When the time came, so did the Red Army.

"Alas!!"

Chen Ming looked up at the night sky that was getting dark, listened to the discussion in the conference room behind him, and for a while, he didn't know what to do when he stood there.

Not far away, Xiong Jiuchang saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, and ran over on his feet, stretched out his head to look at Chen Ming's slightly melancholy expression, leaned on the railing with his elbows propped up, crossed his left and right feet, and said with a smile: "Chen, what's wrong with you?"

"How did you win the Red Army, and you are still not happy?"

"Happy? I can't be happier. Chen Ming smiled bitterly, looked at the squad leader next to him, and then thought about Wang Shuaibing and the bald brother.

Suddenly I understood that when the recruit company was about to leave the company, Jiang Peng, the recruit platoon, had told him.

There are some veterans in the brigade who actually meet the requirements for promotion, but they do not choose to be promoted, but still choose to transfer to non-commissioned officers to stay in the army.

At that time, Chen Ming didn't understand very much, isn't it good to be an officer?

Anyway, he also has a bar on his shoulders and a star, even if he is a lieutenant, when he sees a strange second lieutenant, he may be able to listen to it with a "chief".

Looking back now, Chen Ming somewhat understood the choice of those people, if he was a non-commissioned officer, how could he have these troubles.

What kind of brainstorming, what Skynet formation, what the four branches of the military jointly landed on Niutou Mountain, these have nothing to do with him.

You just need to do your own thing, live a comfortable life all day long, and be treated as a squad leader wherever you go, and you can mix it like a fish in water.

If he hadn't mentioned it back then, it would have been three issues now.

Chen Ming is not worried that he will not stay in the team, there is a system, what technology can't be mastered?

It's okay to learn a good body technique, but as an officer, many times he can exchange some skills, and it's not necessary.

Just leave it to someone from another profession.

There is no need to do it yourself, but to provide space and opportunities for others to work.

It's a pity, along the way, he hasn't seen many of the scenery on the way, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is now standing at the brigade headquarters.

Took the post of brigade chief of staff.

When he first entered the barracks, Guo Yuanzheng, the commander of the recruit company at that time, was his goal, but he didn't know when this goal had long been blurred and had already been surpassed.

Chen Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth, stood in the corridor of the brigade headquarters, pondered for a long time before saying, "Squad leader."

"Hey, you say."

"I remember that you used to be in the Second Frontier Company, didn't you make a personal second-class meritorious service?"

"It's that time when you fought with poachers, it is said that the second-class merit can already be promoted, why didn't you choose to do it?"

Chen Ming asked with interest, he hadn't inquired about these words before, he was not a gossip person, he was a comrade-in-arms, a brother, there was no need to understand the past.

Just know the moment.

"Me?" Old Xiong raised his hand in surprise and pointed at himself, "I gave up on my own." ”

"At that time, the instructor of our second company talked to me, but I still don't know what I am."

"In the past, I was in the squad, and I was able to be the squad leader because I had a simple personality and was a good person, and the medical soldiers, Li Yan, and Wu Bing didn't like to be the squad leader."

"The conditions of the border defense company are hard, and there are often battles, and those children either don't like to fight, or they are frizzy, so I will take care of them as a squad leader."

"Everyone is together, even if it is bitter, it doesn't feel bitter, guarding the border for the country, how can a man say bitterness."

"Alas, it's a pity that my body is not fighting now, and I can't go to a place a little higher altitude, but meeting you and coming to Niutou Mountain is also the happiest thing in my life."

Xiong Jiuchang didn't say why he didn't mention it, but Chen Ming heard it.

That's because the old bear squad leader knows that even if he is promoted, with his character, he will be mixed up in the deputy company in the army at most.

The salary is not necessarily better than that of a non-commissioned officer in a place like a border guard, and he also has to take care of a group of guys in the squad.

If you can't give it up and can't let go, you naturally won't go.

Chen Ming sighed with emotion when he heard it, it is really a variety of life, and their circumstances are different.

Some soldiers are full of momentum, such as him, in order to be able to enlist as a compulsory soldier, to be promoted, to be able to stay in the army as an officer.

And some comrades are very thorough in their thinking and can see very clearly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Ming stopped his thoughts, since he had chosen this path, let's go on firmly.

Wang Shuaibing, the old bear squad leader, the bald man, their work is indeed much easier than his own, which also makes him a little envious.

But in order for this envy to last, he must work hard to climb up, and only when his position is high, these old comrades-in-arms can better stay in the army.

"Squad leader, let's go, the rest of the meeting will be handed over to Chief of Staff Shan, and you will send me home."

"With the competition and this exercise, I haven't been back for a week, and it just so happens that there is nothing going on in the brigade these days."

Chen Ming got up and stretched his waist.

At this time, it was already time for the brigade headquarters to finish its work, and there was no need for him to stay here.

"Home? It's time to go back and see. The old bear scratched his head and said honestly: "Since you are fine, let's go to the service center for soldiers."

"My daughter-in-law has been thanking you since you gave her the opportunity to open a supermarket last year."

"You have done my family a great favor, let's eat dinner at the store, my daughter-in-law can cook well."

"I just stopped by to see my uncle and aunt, and let Director Chai go over too, there are many people."

Looking at Lao Xiong Xiyi's eyes, Chen Ming was not easy to refuse, he didn't want any thanks for this kind of thing.

It's just a matter of effort.

At the beginning, in the firepower department, in response to the needs of the soldiers of each company, a military service center was established, and it was necessary to find someone who knew the roots.

After all, Niutou Mountain is located in a special area, and it is to provide food and drink for soldiers, so all arrangements must be passed, and it is most appropriate to use the families of comrades or comrades-in-arms.

It's all an unwritten rule.

If you want to say who helps whom, you can't really talk about it.

But he really didn't want to upset the class leader's hospitality, as for his parents, they lived up and down the stairs, and they could still see each other at night.

Chen Ming is not in the firepower department at present, he is the chief of staff of the brigade, and in this capacity, he used to serve as a soldier service center, which will inevitably make the soldiers there feel uncomfortable.

After all, how many people who can go there to buy cigarettes, snacks, food, and milk tea don't sneak over?

The military camp is strictly disciplined, but it always has to be mixed with some favors, and he has specially instructed the guards and pickets to let them arrest them for a fixed period of time.

Try to let the soldiers who sneak over to buy snacks be able to feel the pattern and not get caught, which is not a big deal.

Who was a soldier and never did this?

"Oh, let's go, you should be a guest at my place." Xiong Jiuchang seemed to be afraid that Chen Ming would not go, and he also seemed to see that he was not in a good mood, or that he was a little stressed.

I want to pull him over to eat, talk, and relax.

This has just ended the competition and come to the exercise, and it finally came to an end.

Who knows what will happen in a few days.

Seeing that he couldn't stand the old bear, Chen Ming simply smiled and said: "Okay, it's okay to go on a trip, you go to drive, I'll go to the dormitory to change into training clothes, and I don't have meetings, and I don't participate in important occasions, so there is no need to wear such a formal dress."

"Let's meet at the gate."

"Medium!!"

The two acted separately, Chen Ming returned to the dormitory and did not take away the bedding or anything, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to go back here because of an emergency in the future.

The dormitory of the brigade headquarters should still be retained.

On the way, I called Chai Shuyao, and coincidentally, she happened to be in the service center for the soldiers, helping there.

The personnel of the Propaganda Department are not very heavy, and they don't care about the affairs of the combat troops, so Chai Shuyao went over, and the soldiers of each company were not afraid.

Should I go shopping secretly, or will I go.

Changing into training clothes, Chen Ming made another phone call to Wang Shuaibing and the bald man.

The two of them are still attached to the firepower, and the logistics civilian unit is already fine at this time.

The two themselves are frequent visitors to the service center, because it concentrates on eating, drinking and entertainment, not only restaurants, shops, but also billiard halls and Internet cafes.

On Saturdays and Sundays, when all units are allowed to take leave to go out, these entertainment venues are full.

As far as Chen Ming knows, Wang Shuaibing and Bald Man are quite obsessed with League of Legends, and they are very technical, but they tirelessly like to play.

He doesn't play games, but it's said that the two of them have been playing this game for five or six years, and they can't even get silver.

Sure enough, a phone call passed, and the two were really there.

As for Du Longfei, the commander of the 1st Synthetic Regiment, the political commissar of the 169 Brigade, then it can't be called.

He went over and brought another regiment commander and a brigade political commissar, and I am afraid that the service center for the people will have no business tonight.

What's more, these two can't leave.

The gate post and the old bear converged, and the two drove to the Niutoushan Service Center for the People, which is not close to the brigade headquarters, and the location is very backward to be precise.

Near the Joint Logistics Department.

Those who can run over to buy things in normal times are non-commissioned officers, recruits, or senior soldiers, and they usually have to wait honestly until they can ask for leave before they can patronize it.

Chen Ming's personal habits are okay, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't like to eat snacks, and he doesn't play games much, so he rarely frequents here.

But, today, he came.

In the outer parking lot, as soon as Chen Ming got out of the car, he saw three soldiers in the distance, biting sausages in their mouths and holding instant noodles in their hands, beckoning the boss to serve hot water.

I usually see that most of them go back with no food, and they run here to deal with two people, but they just finished the exercise today, so how can they have the task of going out of tolerance.

At first glance, it was sneaked out.

The instant noodle trio didn't find Chen Ming, but a soldier who bought bubble tea on the other side saw Chen Ming.

"Ah?!!h

"Squad leader, let's not buy it, there's a battalion commander over there, if you catch us, you'll suffer."

"What nonsense, we bet that we lost to Lao Liu of the Fourth Company, why do you have to send milk tea over today, otherwise where will you put your squad leader and my old face in the future?"

"Which battalion commander? There are more Niutoushan battalion commanders, me." The veteran who claimed to be the squad leader just scolded the hairy boy next to him for a few words, and saw Chen Ming walking back in the distance.

My face was almost green.

Turning around, he slapped the little soldier's head and shouted: "You are so blind, that is the chief of staff of our brigade."

"What battalion commander, hurry up and take a walk, don't buy it, he saw me when he went to the third company before, and I heard that our chief of staff has a good memory."

"Don't recognize it."

The squad leader, who was still stubborn just now, was directly instigated after seeing who it was.

Although non-commissioned officers leave the barracks and come out to buy things, which is very common in the army, it is not necessarily in line with the regulations.

The two of them sneakily turned around and ran.

He was not the only one who found Chen Ming, he packed and bought food, drinks, and snacks, and they were all dumbfounded when they saw Chen Ming coming towards the store.

Except for the recruits who enlisted in the second half of last year and don't know him, who doesn't know Chen Ming at the Niutoushan Garrison Base?

At the beginning, the rectification of the 704th Division and the action of breaking the three ices were all led by Chen Ming.

Even, the first pennant of many companies, the award of personal pennants of honor, was a ceremony held by himself.

I'm afraid of him not only because of his position, but also because of more importantly, this is the head of the guards.

Even if he is not in the fire department now, that position has jumped higher, and he can still manage the guard picket.

When they met the group of pulsatillas, their scalps were tight, not to mention the head of this pulsatilla.

"Squad leader, you said that this is our chief of staff, this time he commanded the battle with the Red Army's turtle grandson? It's so young. ”

"Damn, sigh at your sister, go quickly."

Chen Ming walked only a dozen meters away from the parking lot, and many old oilmen who were still buying things just now fled in a hurry.

Seeing the old bear following beside him, he was dumbfounded.

Good guys, just this group of old oilmen who sneak out every day to take care of business, which one is not the master who is not afraid of heaven and earth?

I didn't expect to be scared like this when I saw Chen Ming, but now, he finally understands a little why Chen Ming doesn't want to come here.

Since opening, he has rarely come.

This is completely a bombed street-like existence, one person arrives, and hundreds of people escape.

Just a lively place, in the blink of an eye, there was no one.

Chen Ming himself was a little speechless, is he so scary? However, he really recognized several veterans, and knew which company and which squad those people belonged to.

Father Chen Qianghe, mother Hu Caixia and Lao Xiong's daughter-in-law jointly opened a relatively small store, but the business is the hottest.

As a result, because of his arrival, people are almost clean, good guys, this is a smashing of their own business.

Before Chen Ming walked to the door of the shop, Chai Shuyao came out, and couldn't help but smile when he saw someone coming.

"Seeing that everyone ran out just now, I guess you are here, come in quickly, you go to the back warehouse and stay, don't affect your parents' business here."

Chai Shuyao said, walked behind Chen Ming, and pushed him towards the small warehouse behind the shop.

made Chen Ming even more speechless.

It's better not to come
