That Year's Bad Friends, Far Away, See? Captain's Company, One Step Away From Major
Little weasel, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
Looking at his grandson who was being held in his hands, Chen Qi felt a little helpless.
He was also young, so how could he not know what Chen Yuanxiang was thinking?
Between men, especially between good brothers, there were really only those things.
Other than women, wasn't it just bragging?
He wouldn't worry about women like Chen Yuanxiang. There was no need. Although these kids were foppish, they still had the proper upbringing.
He wouldn't do anything illegal.
Wasn't the rest just bragging?
What else could he do?
It was especially so now that Chen Yuan Xiang had been promoted to the rank of Captain at the age of twenty-two. He was promoted much faster than Su Ming had been in the past.
Su Ming had only reached this stage when he was twenty-three.
Of course, that did not mean that Su Ming was weaker than Chen Yuan Xiang.
Once Su Ming became a major, the speed at which he was promoted became faster and faster.
Even though Chen Yuanxiang had caught up and even had the intention of surpassing him, it was almost impossible for him to advance so quickly when he reached the colonel level.
The reason why Su Ming was able to advance so quickly even when he was a colonel was because he had made a first-class contribution.
In the outside world, many people would say,"
Third-class merit points were obtained by standing, second-class merit points were obtained by lying down, and first-class merit points were obtained by family members.
First, let's talk about the third-class merit.
It was because it was relatively easy for Xiang Rong to get a third-class merit. As long as he performed very well during normal times, completed all the training seriously, did not make mistakes, followed military discipline, and so on.
Furthermore, those who had a certain amount of experience in the army would be awarded third-class merit after verification.
In layman's terms, a third-class merit was a reward for " hard work even if you don't contribute."
Then there was the second-class skill, which was much more difficult than the third-class skill.
Not only did they need to be careful and outstanding in their daily lives, but the most important assessment criterion was whether they had made contributions.
How could it be considered a contribution?
For example, in disaster relief, people who achieved third-class merit might be very active, but their performance was mediocre.
Second-class meritorious people sacrificed themselves for others, using their arms or legs in exchange for the lives of ordinary people.
This was a contribution.
There was also a special assessment standard. The top three in the overall performance of the military training of the entire military region would be listed as the model of the entire military region. They could also be rewarded with second-class merit.
But thinking about it, how many people were there in a military region? The top three were only second-class merits.
Naturally, he was worthy of such a reward.
Combined with third-class merits, it meant that one could only obtain second-class merits if they had both merit and hard work.
The final first-class merit.
In times of war, first-class merits were relatively easy to obtain.
Those who performed exceptionally well in a certain war or made great contributions during the war would also be awarded first-class merits after passing the assessment.
However, even in wartime, it was very difficult to survive until they received first-class merit. This was because the missions they carried out were most likely death!
In this era of peace, it was basically impossible to obtain first-class merit in the regular army. Only when they were stationed abroad or sacrificed themselves in a major operation could they obtain it.
The other possibility was to win first place in a national military competition.
Other than the last one who was one in a million, the rest were basically first-class merits exchanged with their lives.
Those who could obtain first-class merit and still survive were very few.
And such people, without exception, had an extremely broad and bright future.
Chen Qi could still remember clearly that Su Ming had practically traded his life for his promotion from captain to field officer in half a year.
The shining first-class Merit Badge gave Su Ming the chance to continue advancing as a major.
Otherwise, it was almost impossible to achieve such high achievements before the age of 30.
Moreover, the military paid attention to military merits.
Even if he had a family background, he didn't have any merits. If he wasn't a strong person, no one would be willing to accept his promotion.
To climb up the ranks in the army, one needed true strength.
Chen Yuanxiang was now promoted to captain. If nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't be promoted to colonel level in one or two years if he didn't make great contributions.
Even if his performance was average, it would be impossible for him to do so for three to five years.
Finally, when he was older, it was very possible for him to comfort a colonel for the sake of his qualifications.
"Old General Su has always wanted his son to join the army. You know this without me saying it.”
"But back then, due to his daughter-in-law's stubbornness, he had no choice but to send Su Yuan to study in Mao Xiong. However, he never gave up on sending Su Yuan to the army. A few months ago, he even specifically mentioned this to me.”
Chen Qi said in a deep voice.
"Ah!"
"Su Yuan, that fellow, is so miserable?"
Chen Yuanxiang's mouth was wide open, and his face was filled with surprise.
They had already gone to study abroad, but after graduation, they still had to join the army. This was even worse than them.
Originally, he thought that Su Yuan had gone to study abroad and was the most comfortable one among them.
Now, it seemed that this was the worst!
Now, all of them had become officers.
As for Su Yuan?
If Old General Su really sent him to the army, he would be a new recruit!
Damn, so miserable!
Chen Yuanxiang thought to himself.
All of a sudden, he sympathized with Su Yuan.
At this moment, Chen Yuanxiang also nodded seriously.""Grandpa, I definitely won't be too ostentatious. Don't worry.”
"Otherwise, if I really hit Su Yuan, that kid, wouldn't he chop me up?”
"Although he can't beat me now, I'm too embarrassed to fight back.”
It wasn't enough to attack him mentally, but he also attacked him physically. Chen Yuanxiang felt that he really couldn't do such a thing.
Chen Qi laughed helplessly."If you're not afraid of Old General Su breaking your legs, you can say it.”
"Old General Su has always hoped that Su Yuan would join the army. He didn't manage to go previously, and now he's going to be sent back to the army. He's still just a new recruit. You, who was with him back then, are already a captain.”
"I'll say it here. If you really want to show off, I'll be your grandson if Old General Su doesn't sew your mouth shut.”
Chen Yuanxiang smiled awkwardly.
Although he felt that the possibility was not high, he was still a little afraid of Old General Su.
If that old man really broke his legs, his old man would probably applaud and celebrate.
The grandfather and grandson had a good meal at the dining table. Chen Yuanxiang did not drink too much of the wine that Old Master Chen Qi had treasured. He remembered that he had to go to the Su family's house to look for Su Yuan in the afternoon.
After dinner, he went straight to the Smiths.
On the bus.
Chen Yuanxiang held his phone and opened their exclusive Group chats.
"Brothers, I've returned to Xia Jing. Did anyone come back?”
At first, no one responded.
Chen Yuanxiang was not in a hurry. Everyone was in the army and did not have time all the time. Someone would naturally reply if they saw it.
As expected, after about five minutes, the group gradually became lively.
"You went back?"
"F * ck! I want to go back too. I've been training twice as much during this period of time. I'm almost crippled. Let me think, can I find an excuse to go back?”
……
Seeing the few people who spoke, Chen Yuanxiang smiled and sent out a full-body photo of himself.
The group was silent for a while.
But not long after, it became even more lively than before.
"F * ck!"
"You promoted him again?"
"Damn, that's a second-class medal?”
"We agreed to live together, but you actually secretly survived?”
"I'm only a fucking second lieutenant! You're a captain?"
Chen Yuanxiang enjoyed everyone's shock and pretended to be deep."I accidentally made a second-class contribution and was promoted again. I didn't expect that my promotion would be so fast this time.”
"Bastard!"
"Motherf * cker!"
"Damn you!"
The group was filled with curses.
Chen Yuanxiang didn't mind. The more he scolded, the better he felt.
He had succeeded in acting tough.
Although he couldn't act in front of Su Yuan, he could make these people say a few words about the quintessence of the country. This promotion was not in vain.
Chen Yuanxiang laughed and said in the group,""By the way, did anyone come back? If they did, I'll return to the army in a few days.”
"What do you mean? You're already a captain, and I'm still a second lieutenant. If I go back, my grandfather will kill me.”
"F * ck! You animal, you're too inhumane!"
……
There was another howl, but Chen Yuanxiang ignored it and continued,"Oh right, let me tell you something. Su Yuan is back.”
"Hmm?"
"Really?"
"Boss Su Yuan is back?"
"When did this happen?"
Chen Yuanxiang said," It seems to have happened in the past few days. My grandfather told me about it. However, that guy is a little miserable. I heard from my grandfather that Old General Su is preparing to send him to the army for training."”
"F * ck, that bad?"
"You want to join the army after returning from studying abroad?"
"F * ck! In the past, I was quite envious of that guy. Now, it seems that he's the most miserable!”
"I expected it. With General Su's personality, how could he let that guy be comfortable? Does he think that he doesn't have to be a soldier after studying abroad? What kind of personality does Old General Su have? He gave in four years ago, but I'm afraid he won't this time. That guy is too pitiful. We are all officers, but he is still a new recruit!”
"Sigh, what a tragic situation!"
"Captain Chen, I have to remind you of something. Don't mention your promotion in front of him. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get beaten up.”
"Yes! He's right!"
Chen Yuanxiang: " The only thing that makes me unhappy about this promotion is that I can't show off in front of Su Yuan. It's a great regret in life!”
"Agreed!"
"Same as above!"
The others in the group sent emojis of agreement.
Chen Yuanxiang thought about it, but how could they not?
"If a new recruit like him is assigned to us, that would be the most exciting!”
"F * ck! You're so vicious! It's killing people!"
"But I like it!"
Chen Yuanxiang chuckled.
He was thinking if he should not tell Su Yuan which unit he was in, and then encourage him to go to his unit. Then, he could talk to the regiment commander and be directly assigned to his company...
The more Chen Yuanxiang thought about it, the more excited he became.
This could be manipulated!
As long as Su Yuan mentioned it to Old General Su, there would be no problem.
Chen Yuanxiang suppressed his thoughts in his heart and did not mention it to others. If others said it first, wouldn't his thoughts fall through?
The bus traveled quickly. After about an hour, Chen Yuanxiang got off the bus.
The Chens had a good relationship with the Smiths. When Chen Yuanxiang was young, he often came to Old Master Su's old house. He was quite familiar with it.
After walking for a while, they saw the Su family's old residence.
Although it was called an old residence, it was just a three-story building. The building was not very new, but the courtyard was relatively large. In a place like Xia Jing, where every inch of land was expensive, having such a courtyard was even more valuable than a courtyard house.
Just as he arrived at the door, Chen Yuanxiang met Su Yuan and Old Master Su, who had just returned.
"Grandpa Su!" Chen Yuanxiang quickly called out.”
Su Bingsheng turned around and was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recognized him. Wasn't this one of Su Yuan's friends from four years ago?
Chen Yuanxiang!
"It's the Chen Family kid!"
"Let's go in and sit."
Chen Yuanxiang nodded obediently." My grandfather wanted to come over to see you, but his legs are not very good and he has a little motion sickness, so he didn't come over. This time, I heard that Su Yuan was back, so I came over to see you and Su Yuan."”
If Su Yuan didn't return, he wouldn't dare to come over.
Su Bingsheng could tell, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he smiled and said,"Alright, then you can talk to Su Yuan. Don't worry about me.”
"Yes, yes."
Chen Yuanxiang nodded repeatedly, looking even more obedient than in front of Old Master Chen Qi.
He was more afraid of Old Master Su than Old Master Chen Qi.
After a while, Grandpa Su walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
Not long after Old Master Su left, Chen Yuanxiang swung his arm and placed it on Su Yuan."Why didn't you tell us that you're back? If my grandfather didn't tell me that you're back, I wouldn't have known.”
"Didn't you guys change your contact information?”Su Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It seems so."
Chen Yuanxiang nodded and suddenly lowered his voice,""I heard from my grandfather that Old General Su wants to send you to the army to train. Is that true?”
Su Yuan looked at Chen Yuanxiang in surprise.""There is such a thing."
If he hadn't had other opportunities during his four years in Mao Xiong, there was a high chance that he would come back from studying abroad. Jiu was going to be sent to the army.
After receiving the confirmation, Chen Yuanxiang suddenly sighed."I was quite envious of you four years ago. Why do you think you can study abroad while we have to go to the army?”
"Why do I feel like you're gloating?”Su Yuan looked at Chen Yuanxiang suspiciously.
"No, I'm just sympathizing with you, alright?" Chen Yuanxiang said seriously.”
Su Yuan didn't think too much about it and said," Let's go in and sit. Or we can go outside and take a walk."”
"Let's go out and take a walk. Old Master Su is at home, and I can't stay any longer.”Chen Yuanxiang quickly said.
"My old man doesn't eat people."
Su Yuan had a helpless expression.
Chen Yuanxiang shook his head violently." I'm afraid even if I don't eat people. When I was young, I was beaten by your old man. I was a little scared when I saw him."”
Su Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You've been a soldier for four years, and your military rank isn't low, right? Why are you still so afraid of our old man? You're like a mouse seeing a cat.”
"It's alright. I can't compare to your brother. I'm still far from it.”Chen Yuanxiang said casually, but he was very conflicted in his heart.
Damn it, I really want to say it!
Especially when he saw Su Yuan's indifferent expression when he asked about his military background, Chen Yuanxiang wished he could wear his normal clothes and stand in front of Su Yuan with a military posture.
"Far away, do you see that? The captain is in the company, one step away from the colonel rank!”
He really wanted to be impulsive!
If he ran away after acting tough and did not give Old Master Su a chance to show off, he would hide in the army. Would Old Master Su really find him in the army?
At most, she would not come to the Smiths for the next few years.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Chen Yuanxiang's expression was a little off, Su Yuan asked curiously.
Chen Yuanxiang looked at Su Yuan with a complicated expression. He thought about it, but in the end, he did not say anything."It's nothing. Let's not talk about this.”
After saying this, Chen Yuanxiang's heart was bleeding.
This time, he had returned in vain.
No, I have to create an opportunity for Su Yuan to know that the good brother standing in front of him is already a captain.
He thought about it and smiled." Oh right, a few of us have created a group. Let's pull you in!"”
"Alright!"
"You pull me."
"Yes!"
Chen Yuanxiang sent a photo of himself in a military uniform to the group file.
The others in the group were all filled with question marks. Hadn't this photo been uploaded?
Just as they were feeling puzzled, when everyone saw Chen Yuanxiang, the group leader, pull Su Yuan in, they immediately started cursing.
This guy was too much of a dog!
