After these big guys took their seats, the chief of staff first announced the meritorious performance of the Mountain Kingdom battle. Some of them were criticized and demoted. Mainly the army commanders who did not withstand the invasion and defeat of the Mountain Kingdom at the beginning. Although these criticized officers were each They bowed their heads in guilt, but were not too depressed because they knew that they would atone for their sins later.
Sure enough, after the punishment decision was read out, the chief of staff began to read out the list of meritorious personnel. Every officer in the Southwest Military Region whose name was read was excited and unbearable. Everyone looked forward to being replaced by a higher military rank as soon as possible.
The commander of the Southwest Military Region and that Colonel Chen were originally filled with joy when they heard their names appear. But after the chief of staff read out the list of senior officers of the Southwest Military Region, they said: "The above people will atone for their sins and will not be punished." Promoted." All of their faces immediately darkened. They just thought about the performance of the Southwest Military Region during the invasion, and they could only sigh. It would be fine if they could maintain their current positions.
Next, the names read by the chief of staff were followed by words about what medals they would be awarded and what military ranks they would be promoted to. When Chen Shihao's name was read out, he was not only awarded a first-class Patriotic Medal but also promoted to colonel. No one knew. The admiral who had just come down from above and was sitting at the waiting area behind the scenes was shaken violently. But he also saw that he quickly smiled self-deprecatingly and muttered: "We have the same name."
The commander of the Southwest Military Region had no reaction. He knew what merits Chen Shihao had created. But those people were stunned. The first-class Patriotic Medal. The wearer enjoys the treatment of a general. Damn it. What merits did this lieutenant colonel create? Not only was he promoted to a level A military rank of 100. He actually got such a medal...
Colonel Chen was so jealous that he gritted his teeth. Damn it. When he saw this guy from now on, he would actually have to stand at attention and wait for the other person to salute before returning the salute. Damn it, even if he was promoted to senior colonel, he would have to do this. .Not to mention that he is still in the position of colonel now. Damn it, I also have a share of his hard work. Why do I always have more merit than my fault? Why don't you promote me to major general?
Because the officers who were promoted were all at the rank of colonel, they were not present, so there was no need to change their ranks on the spot. After the chief of staff sat down, the commander-in-chief stood up and said: "Because I have many affairs, I am somewhat unable to control the army. Therefore, a deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces will be set up. Now please welcome the deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces...General Chen Jiajia." As he spoke, he clapped excitedly. But the expressions of the nine commanders-in-chief changed. None of them looked very good. But Still holding back, I applauded.
Under their leadership, all the officers applauded, but everyone looked puzzled because they had never heard of this name. Some impatient guys even looked around and asked secretly: "Who is this general in the Chen family? Does our army have such a general?"
The same was naturally true for the Southwest Commander. However, he directly asked Colonel Chen next to him: "Colonel Shijie. Who is this colonel in the Chen family?" He thought about how Colonel Chen Shijie is the grandson of the marshal. He must know this general. exists.
However, he was stunned immediately after asking the question, because he found that Colonel Chen Shijie's face was pale and pale, and there was a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes. When he was curious, he heard the colonel tremblingly say: "He. He is my uncle... ..." Immediately he raised his eyebrows and his heart beat violently. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Uncle, the eldest son of the marshal who has never shown his face..."
Chen Shijie nodded bitterly: "Yes. An uncle who has never shown up before. I only met his family at the New Year's greeting party the year before last."
The commander of the Southwest Military Region naturally knew that Chen Shijie was in an extremely bad mood right now. He also understood why. He had been robbed of his position. It was strange to be happy.
The marshal has three sons and two daughters. Everyone knows this. But most people don’t know what these three sons and two daughters do. Anyway, a lieutenant general like him who controls a military region only knows that one of the marshal’s two daughters is married abroad. The artist has been wandering abroad all year round. There is almost no news about her in the country. One of them has directly entered politics. He serves as a member of Congress representing women's rights. He clamors in Congress all day long to develop women's rights.
The third son joined the logistics department of the army. He was a major general in logistics. It was said that he resold military supplies wantonly. He was the main supporter of those military merchants. The business was booming, but no one looked down on him. The second son gave birth to two sons, both of whom were playboys. However, because they were only engaged in business and did not interfere with military and political affairs, the world simply ignored them.
The only person who has attracted the attention of senior officials from all walks of life is the Marshal's second son, Chen Shijie's father. He is dignified and cautious, and has very good staff skills. He is now the deputy chief of staff and a lieutenant general. It is said that he is the next chief of the staff. There are even rumors that he will be the next heir to the commander-in-chief. This second son has a son and a daughter. The son is Chen Shijie. He is already a colonel in his twenties. He is a father and son who attract attention in the military.
The eldest son of the marshal was originally the most eye-catching one. According to ancient sayings, this was the real prince. But this prince had been silent for a long time. It was said that he had been sick all year round and was recuperating abroad. There has never been any news about the eldest son of the marshal. No one even knows his name, let alone his appearance. Listen to what Chen Shijie said just now. I’m sorry that the eldest son of the marshal has hidden himself too deeply. Even his family members don’t know the situation.
Just because the prince is the eldest son of the marshal, he is promoted to general and made deputy commander-in-chief. It is blatantly showing that he will be the future leader of the army. The marshal will not be ignorant. He will make all his officers You must be an idiot. A guy who is nothing suddenly becomes an heir. I really think this is still the ancient era of family and world.
Thinking of this, the Southwest Commander looked coldly at the middle-aged man who came out from behind the scenes with a calm expression. He saluted the ten leaders on the rostrum, then saluted all the officers present, and finally shook hands with the Commander-in-Chief. He was sitting in the middle seat. The man sneered in his heart: "You look so majestic as a soldier. You will know why you can't get off the stage later. Marshal, you are looking for shame this time. Don't blame us for humiliating you. Who? You have gone too far."
If Chen Shihao saw the face of this admiral of the Chen family at this moment, he would definitely feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He would be completely stunned.
The commander-in-chief stood up and pressed his hands. The applause disappeared. Everyone looked at him. The usually majestic commander-in-chief now smiled and said: "I believe that most of the people present are unfamiliar with our new deputy commander-in-chief. In fact, I believe You are no strangers to the deputy commander-in-chief. Now let me read out the resume of General Chen's family."
Originally, the following people had different thoughts. Including the nine generals sitting on the rostrum who also had different thoughts. They were all a little stunned when they heard the commander-in-chief's words. I had never heard of the names of the Chen family, and I had never seen their faces. Why are they there? The resume exists. It can’t be fake.
"In the Chen family, I was born at the No. 1 Maternity and Children's Hospital in Kyoto on July 3rd, the 23rd year of the New Calendar of the Dragon Kingdom." As soon as the commander-in-chief read these words, most of the officers' brows jumped. It is now the 80th year of the New Calendar of the Dragon Kingdom. Three years. In other words, the Chen family general is already 60 years old. Damn, look at his smooth skin and rosy face. Some people believe that he is less than 40 years old. He is actually 60 years old.. Isn’t that better than most of the officers present? All big.
The Southwest Commander looked at Chen Shijie, who was beside him. It was not surprising that there were 60 years old in the Chen family. After all, he was the eldest son of the marshal. The second son of the marshal was already over fifty years old.
"I graduated from junior high school at the age of 16 and signed up to join the army. In the same year, I became a model recruit. I was promoted to the rank of corporal and was assigned to the 3rd Platoon, 3rd Class, 13th Company, 8th Division, 9th Regiment, 7th Group Army, Northeast Military Region as deputy squad leader."
As soon as the commander-in-chief said these words, several old lieutenant generals in the nine faction camps jumped up suddenly and exclaimed: "Old squad leader..." All the veteran military leaders including the nine commanders on the stage Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces, including the commander of the Southwest Military Region, who had a cold expression on his face. They all looked at General Chen's family on the rostrum with their mouths open.
But the Chen family general just pressed his hand. The excited lieutenant generals immediately sat down straightly like children, and then looked at the new deputy commander-in-chief with excited faces.
Colonel Chen Shijie noticed something was wrong. He touched him carefully and said, "Commander, what's wrong? Why are you all so surprised?" However, the commander of the Southwest Military Region had not yet answered. Chen Shijie understood what was going on. Hearing that the commander-in-chief ignored those words at all. A lieutenant general jumped out and continued to speak into the microphone: "In the same year, the Chen family achieved military exploits during the North-Austria border conflict. The military rank was promoted to second lieutenant. The company he led was named the Steel Company."
"Steel Company..." This time it was Chen Shijie's turn to click his tongue. Not to mention the military giant who followed his grandfather to conquer the world. After all, all of them are dead. It can be said that most of the current military leaders are from that time in Northern Austria. It got up after the conflict. Although the border friction with Northern Austria lasted for two months, it was a lot of small-scale war. The Steel Company was the one who made the most merits and sacrificed the most in this friction war. force.
Those few lieutenant generals who jumped up were the dead members of the first batch of steel companies. Thinking that they all became lieutenant generals, you can know how prestige this steel company has. And the chief officer who established such a prestige It was actually my uncle who had never shown up. And he founded it when he was only 16 years old. It’s incredible. It’s shocking.
But this was nothing. What happened next made everyone numb. The commander-in-chief continued to read: "The friction on the North-Austria border is over. The Chen family was transferred to the newly formed Dragon Guard Force as a major and served as chief officer and concurrently Instructor. Expand the Dragon Guard, which was only a hundred people at the beginning, to a special forces training team of a thousand people."
As soon as these words came out, it goes without saying that everyone knew that Longwei was the predecessor of the several units commanded by the current commander-in-chief. At the same time, more lieutenant generals and major generals jumped up in the 9 major camps. . They all excitedly exclaimed: "Instructor..." However, they were pressed down by the Chen family's calm hand and made them sit down obediently.
Wait for the commander-in-chief to read out again: "Since the 45th year of the New Year of the Dragon Kingdom, Chen Jiajia, who was the commander of the Dragon Guard at that time, led the Dragon Guard to participate in the northwest bandit suppression war, the Mobei pursuit war, the mountain punishment war, and the southwestern suppression war. ..." Listening to these words that only appeared in confidential briefings and had never heard of a battle below the level, everyone opened their mouths. Because if you think about it in detail, the Chen family general was already a member of the family at that time. He led the dragon guards to fight in various countries around the world. Overall, there were at least more than a hundred battles.
It’s just such a heroic figure. Why have I never heard of it? Could it be that this person was anonymous when performing these tasks? But it’s normal to think about it. After all, they are all fighting in secret. Although some careerists are surprised that the Chen family has experienced So many battles, but I also think I have caught the opponent's weakness, that is, they all carry out covert special operations. No one will say anything if such a person is the chief of intelligence or the chief of special operations. But if he is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, that will not work. .I have no experience in major battles.
