Some people say that the time when a man truly matures is when his child is born.
Jiang Bei didn't know if this sentence was correct, but looking at the child in his arms, he felt that he should have truly matured.
One year has passed since he was officially promoted to lieutenant colonel, and he has also welcomed his true blood in this world.
Jiangbei becomes a father
She is a beautiful little girl.
He is not a traditional person and does not care about whether he is a boy or a girl. He even likes little girls. After all, who doesn't like little cotton-padded jackets?
"Okay, Jiangbei, give it to me, I'll take her to bed!"
Xu Ningmeng felt very happy when she saw that Jiangbei, who was always arrogant and always keeping his words in the military camp, looked clumsy in front of his daughter. Then she saw that the child was starting to sleep, so she spoke.
"Okay, right away!"
With a happy face on his face, Jiang Bei gently handed his daughter to Xu Ningmeng, who had finished confinement.
Seeing Xu Ningmeng carrying her daughter into the nursery, Jiang Bei glanced at the TV that was on. The TV series "Soldier Assault" that Jiang Bei was very familiar with was playing on the TV.
He took the remote control and turned down the sound of the TV a lot, so as not to disturb his sleeping daughter.
This TV series has been broadcast for more than three months. Since its release, it has been at the top of the TV series rankings. Jiangbei is very satisfied with this TV series. He watches it every time he goes home and often shows it to soldiers in the army.
Although Xu Sanduo is the protagonist, he represents the image of a college student becoming an excellent soldier, which has attracted the attention of many college students. On the Internet, his image is very positive!
If Xu Sanduo embodies the people's army's spirit of never abandoning anyone, then the image he represents in the TV series is how a newly graduated college student became an excellent officer through training. This shows
It has increased the people's army's desire for talents and the importance it attaches to talents.
This was an image that Jiangbei had never seen in the soldier assaults in his previous life.
Xu Ningmeng walked out and saw Jiang Bei still watching the TV series. She smiled and joked: "Why, Jiang Bei, I have watched it so many times and still haven't seen enough. That's right. This is about your Steel Seventh Company. If it weren't for this
TV series, I don’t know what you went through when you first joined the army. Who would have thought that a fair-faced college student would become a rare backbone officer in the army eight or nine years later!"
Jiang Bei said angrily: "Why was I called fair and clean at that time? My physical fitness at that time was not comparable to that of ordinary people. After all, I participated in sports meets in college and won a ranking!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I know you are great. You will be thirty next year. Let me tell you, don't engage in such high-intensity training like you did when you were a soldier. By then, you will have more hidden diseases. When you are middle-aged and old,
It’s your fault!”
Xu Ningmeng didn't argue with Jiang Bei about this, she was just teasing him.
Of course she knew Jiang Bei's physical ability, and it exhausted her every time.
She just grew up in a military compound and knew that those soldiers who were very powerful when they were young had all kinds of secret diseases in their old age, so she saw that Jiang Bei was still training so well, so she couldn't help but remind him.
"Don't worry, I know my body well, and I will rest when I need to!"
Jiang Bei pulled Xu Ningmeng to sit on the sofa, put his arm around Tao's waist and said.
Xu Ningmeng leaned on Jiangbei's shoulder and asked, "Is there any news about how your army will arrange your future work?"
"You can't always be the battalion commander of the synthetic battalion. Although you have only been promoted not long ago, your synthetic battalion pilot has been successful, and your mechanized infantry division is about to be transformed into a brigade. I heard about the preparations.
That’s almost it. This time the division is transformed into a brigade, you can take up the position of deputy chief of staff of the first brigade. Then your experience and vision can help complete the construction of the combined brigade!"
Jiang Bei glanced at Xu Ningmeng: "Just ask for information about the work in the division, but don't make any moves. My performance will be known to the division, the army, and even the headquarters, so you don't need to run around!"
Although he had inherited part of the old man's influence in the military because he was married to Xu Ningmeng, he, like Gao Cheng, also wanted to gain the trust of his superiors with his own abilities.
Of course, he does not exclude the use of influence within a certain range. For example, Xu Ningmeng helps him to find out information, and he is still willing.
After all, he and Xu Ningmeng were married, and in the eyes of outsiders, he became a well-connected person.
On this point, he cannot avoid what others say. What he can do is to use his ability to convince others, just like he was valued by the leaders before he married Xu Ningmeng.
"What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I don't deny that I enjoy some preferential treatment because of my family relationship, but it is absolutely impossible for me to do things that violate the regulations. I am also a party member with a bottom line. Jiangbei,
Don’t look down on others!”
Xu Ningmeng rolled her eyes at Jiang Bei, opened her mouth and bit Jiang Bei's shoulder, and hummed.
"That's good. You remember, how the division arranges me, I just obey the orders. I came to serve as a soldier to protect my family and the country, not to fight for power or money. If it's money, I believe that outside, I might be a hundred
My name is at the top of the rich list!"
Jiang Bei nodded and said with satisfaction that he chose Xu Ningmeng because Xu Ningmeng is a truly visionary, knowledgeable and bottom-line woman.
In his position, the biggest fear is that he will not find a good wife.
As for money and power, well, for people who are born again, making money is just a waste of money.
He gave up, so of course he did it for the red ideal flying in his heart.

Mechanic's conference room
A discussion meeting on important personnel arrangements for the mechanized infantry division was being held, and Jiang Bei, who was still at home with his wife and daughter, did not know that he had once again become the subject of discussion among military leaders.
This meeting was of a very high level. Deputy Political Commissar Zhou, the leader of Army Group B in charge of personnel arrangements, also attended the meeting.
As for the division, all the division leaders from the division, and even the political commissars of the leaders of the main regiments did not participate.
"This time's personnel arrangements mainly involve the Hetong camp. Comrade Jiangbei's arrangements. If you have any opinions, you can tell me?"
Li Peng, the division political commissar who presided over the meeting, said with a serious expression.
The most difficult thing about transforming a division into a brigade is the arrangement of personnel. The mechanized infantry division is a standard division-level unit, with many deputy division-level cadres and regiment-level cadres. If you want to transform it into a combined brigade, it will be difficult to change it into a combined brigade.
If he didn't say anything, he and Commander Jiang would have to be transferred first.
Fortunately, the Army Group and the Southeast Military Region approved the proposal jointly proposed by him and Jiang Wei, and the combined brigade was transformed from the deputy division-level organization described by Jiangbei into a reinforced brigade with low-level positions and high-level personnel.
In this way, as long as the mechanized infantry division transfers a group of cadres and lets other brother units take over, and then transfers a group of veteran cadres who can't keep up with the team, then there will basically be no problem.
During this period of time, he and Jiang Wei have been busy with this matter. Fortunately, they have passed it safely.
Now we can start with the combined battalion and begin formal arrangements for the division.
The first priority was Jiangbei, the first battalion commander of the synthetic battalion who brought changes to the mechanized infantry division.
Just as Li Peng finished speaking, Deputy Division Commander Ning Zhongze frowned. Deputy Political Commissar Zhou, Commander Jiang and Li Peng from the North Korean Army were the first to speak: "Three leaders, I think we have arranged for Comrade Jiangbei to serve as deputy chief of staff.
I'm afraid it's a little early. Comrade Jiangbei only became the deputy lieutenant colonel last year. I remember that he is not yet thirty yet. Isn't it a little too soon to arrange the position of deputy chief of staff now?"
Then he felt that his words were a bit unkind to Jiangbei, so he added: "Of course, I don't deny that Comrade Jiangbei is very capable. You can tell by looking at every step he takes that he basically relies on ability to get to the top. But just because
Comrade Jiangbei relies on his ability every time and is too fast, which makes his qualifications look a bit shallow!"
"I think it's better to let him wait a little longer and work in the Hehe Battalion position for a while. Our division's deputy chief of staff, Qian, will retire in another year. It's impossible for him to change jobs now. After all, he's old.
, I have just made arrangements to retire, but it is impossible to let the old money be withdrawn early, which will make the old comrades feel chilled."
Speaking of this, Ning Zhongze gave his suggestion: "Instead of doing this, it is better for Comrade Jiangbei to work for another year, and wait for the old man to retire, and Comrade Jiangbei will come again. In this way, the old comrade will be happy in his heart, and then the next
At work, I will also cooperate with Jiangbei’s work.”
After listening to Ning Zhongze's words, Li Peng looked at the division commander Jiang Wei, because he knew very well that it was Jiang Wei's plan to recommend Jiang Bei as deputy chief of staff this time.
Jiang Wei didn't pay attention to the look in the eyes of political commissar Li Peng. He took a deep look at Ning Zhongze. Of course Jiang Wei knew what Deputy Division Commander Ning was planning. Qian, the division's deputy chief of staff, was from Ning Zhongze. Even if he wanted to retreat now, he would have to be
Lao Qian takes the initiative to apply for retirement. Otherwise, it will be like a slap in Ning Zhongze's face, which will make Ning Zhongze's people feel sad.
Ning Zhongze felt Jiang Wei's eyes, but he didn't care. He knew that the reform of the mechanized infantry division was unstoppable, and he accepted some personnel arrangements.
But he has to show his previous concessions, which were for the sake of the reform of the mechanized infantry division. But now, in the position of deputy chief of staff, he has to express his attitude. Otherwise, he will never have his own attitude. What will the people under him think?
he.
Besides, he always thought that Jiangbei's one year later was nothing. He was already a lieutenant colonel before he was thirty, and he would wait and see what happened to his old comrade.
Before Commander Jiang could speak, Chief of Staff He spoke. After all, he was the Chief of Staff, and as Deputy Chief of Staff, he had a great say.
"Comrade Jiangbei serves as deputy chief of staff and becomes my deputy. Naturally, I support it. After all, this is a synthetic reform. Regarding synthetic reform, none of us here are as clear as Comrade Jiangbei. He will assist me.
, I can naturally feel much more relaxed!”
"Besides, Comrade Jiangbei is indeed young, but in my opinion, his abilities and resume are very outstanding. If nothing else, being the first battalion commander of the combined battalion is enough to dispel worries. Of course, for some
For gays, there is no need to stand out at such a young age."
"As for Lao Qian, he has experience, but he is old and does not have much energy for many things. Our reforms require long-term attention. I think it is better for Lao Qian to retire early and go home to hug his grandchildren.
Go and enjoy your old age!"
Chief of Staff He didn't have much grievances with Deputy Division Commander Ning Zhongze. Generally speaking, he would not offend Deputy Division Commander Ning, but he really had a lot of dissatisfaction with his deputy.
His work is already very busy, and he has to be responsible for the training of the entire division, and he also has to care about the pilot work of the combined camp, which makes him exhausted many times.
As for his deputy, Lao Qian, because he was about to retire, he didn't care about this or that. He looked like he was the boss and had no intention of assisting him as his deputy.
This made him full of resentment for a long time, but since he was retiring again, he was still Deputy Commander Ning, so it was not worth offending Deputy Commander Ning for this matter.
But now, the person who wants to push Jiangbei to the top is Commander Jiang, and he is from Commander Jiang's side. As the chief officer of the mechanized infantry division, Commander Jiang is not easy to talk to. As a person of Commander Jiang, he naturally has to clear mines for Commander Jiang.
As soon as Chief of Staff He said that, Ning Zhongze suddenly became gloomy. He did not look at Chief of Staff He, but looked at Jiang Wei. He knew that Chief of Staff He, who had always had no enmity with him, was standing opposite him, so it must be
Under the guidance of Master Jiang.
"What does the political commissar think?"
Teacher Jiang still didn't reveal his thoughts and asked about Li Peng.
Li Peng said with a smile: "What the deputy division commander and chief of staff said are reasonable. Otherwise, Lao Zhou, I remember that the army still has a quota for training at the National Defense University that has not yet been finalized. How about we give the army some suggestions?
, let Jiangbei go to the National Defense University for training, which will increase his seniority. When the training is over, he can directly serve as our deputy chief of staff. As for deputy chief of staff Qian, I will tell him personally. I believe that he, an old comrade,
He is a sensible person!”
Deputy political commissar Zhou in the army laughed secretly when he saw what Li Peng said. He finally figured out that the two chief officers of the mechanized infantry division had the same opinion on Jiangbei being the deputy chief of staff. They just wanted to attract Deputy Ning.
Teacher, you can reject him with good reason.
Didn't you, Deputy Commander Ning, say that Comrade Jiangbei has a low qualification? Then let's let Jiangbei go to the National Defense University for training. With this qualification, coupled with his ability and merit, he will be enough to serve as deputy chief of staff!
As for Deputy Chief of Staff Qian, he also saw that Ning Zhongze was just expressing his position for his own people. When the two chief officers decided, he could not stop it.
So he nodded and said, "No problem. An outstanding comrade like Jiangbei should go to the National Defense University to further his studies."
Commander Jiang suddenly smiled and expressed his position: "The political commissar is right. Let Comrade Jiangbei go to the National Defense University for further study. In this case, the old comrades will have no objections. After all, we are responding to the call of the headquarters. Cadres
Rejuvenation can’t just be talked about, it must be implemented resolutely. Comrades like Jiangbei who are very capable and have made great contributions are not the young people we can safely use, right, Deputy Commander Ning?”
Sure enough, Comrade Jiangbei's arrangement was approved in the conference room.
The leaders of the division had great trust in Comrade Jiangbei's ability, and the deputy chief of staff was not one of their people.
Now both chief officers support it. Looking at the appearance of Deputy Political Commissar Zhou in the army, maybe the army also has the same idea, so of course they are willing to give some support to Jiangbei, a young man with a bright future.

synthesis camp
Jiang Bei, who had just returned from home, had just entered the battalion office when he saw Wang Pengfei coming up to him, saying with congratulations on his face: "Congratulations, Jiang Bei!"
"Ah! Instructor, what do you mean? Where does joy come from?"
Jiang Bei looked confused, he didn't know what good news there was.
"Did you know that the division will discuss personnel arrangements for our division and brigade during this period, right?" Wang Pengfei explained.
"Of course I know this, haven't I opened it several times?"
Jiang Bei touched the back of his head, not sure why.
"It's like this. The division held a meeting in the morning, but you should have been driving at that time, so you didn't know that the division is going to let you go to the National Defense University to study. When you come back from studying, you will be in charge of us.
Deputy Chief of Staff!"
Wang Pengfei said with envy on his face that Jiangbei would be his superior from now on. He had thought about this day, but he never expected it to be so soon.
However, he was envious, but not jealous. As a partner who established the combined battalion together, he was naturally happy that Jiangbei could be promoted. This showed that the division and the army recognized their contribution.
After hearing the instructor's explanation, Jiangbei was neither surprised nor surprised. He went to the National Defense University for further studies. This was unexpected. Returning to serve as deputy chief of staff was expected, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
Then he asked: "Then while I am in the military academy, will the position of battalion commander wait for me to take over concurrently when I come back, or will there be new arrangements?"
Not long after the Synthetic Battalion was established, the division had to recruit experienced cadres from the Synthetic Battalion. He was a little worried about the future combat strength of the Synthetic Battalion, so if possible, he really wanted to wait for this period of time before leaving.
.
"I don't know, the division didn't say anything, but I guess the division will talk to you soon. Then you can take the opportunity to ask. I really don't want the new battalion commander to come too early, just in case something goes wrong.
If you have qualifications but not much ability, then our combined camp will have problems!"
Jiangbei's worries are naturally also his worries as an instructor. Why was he able to come to the Hengzheng camp without anyone competing for his position? It was because the Hengsheng camp was a pilot and people were unwilling to take responsibility, so he went to the Hengzheng camp.
But now that the synthetic camp has been basically successful, more people are eyeing this position.
"I'll ask when the time comes. I think the division should consider it. After all, this is the first combined battalion, and it's important to connect the past and the next!"
