Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1345 Give up, choose me as the leader with all your might

The room remained silent for a long time.

Lü Chong remained silent, as did his wife.

The family compounds where senior military officers reside are sometimes referred to as military region compounds.

This place is inhabited by the families of high-ranking military officers, and the topics we hear and interact with daily are mostly related to the military.

Almost everyone in the Southwest Theater Command who is a military family member will inevitably encounter the name Qin Feng.

The youngest senior colonel at the division level has countless merits.

"Others can still try to compete, but if it's Qin Feng, I'm afraid his position as division commander will be difficult..."

"It's not just difficult; his military command skills were already outrageous a few years ago. Over the years, his abilities and experience have only increased."

Lu Chong said, "Do you know what role Qin Feng participated in the National Special Forces Competition a while ago?"

Lover: "What's your identity?"

Lü Chong: "He was involved in the entire process of formulating the competition rules, including the headquarters, the competition organizers, and the directing team. He even proposed some of the new rules."

Her partner covered her mouth and gasped, "How old is he this year?"

"After the New Year, it should be the 26th."

"At twenty-six, he's already entered the core circle of headquarters ahead of schedule?"

“I knew Qin Feng was capable in the past, so when the division was reorganized into a brigade, I was willing to lower myself and stay because I knew that this team had a good future. I never expected that he would rise to such a high position.”

"It really proves the saying that ambition knows no age."

"Heroes have always emerged from among the young, alas..."

What I think

Women are naturally more observant, and her partner offered a suggestion: "Why do I feel like this selection process is a promotion channel tailor-made for Xiao Qin?"

Lu Chong paused for a moment. He really had never considered this direction before.

"Probably not? This selection process was fair, just, and transparent; the announcement was even posted on the military website."

"The purpose is to cope with the ever-changing international situation, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is not a new project, but a strategic system from a long time ago."

My partner took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You men don't see things as carefully as we women. On the surface, that's true, and it is indeed fair and just."

"But think about it, the higher-ups could simply appoint someone directly, so why choose this competitive process?"

"Qin Feng is 26 years old this year. His abilities are undoubtedly excellent, but his age is a major drawback, and it is said that he is not yet married?"

"If the higher-ups insist on promoting him, I believe many people will be dissatisfied and have objections."

"I'm sure that many of the people who went to run for election did not recognize Qin Feng's abilities."

Lu Chong thought about it carefully and immediately realized: "It seems that it really is true. Among the people who went to the Northeast and Southeast, there are commanders with strong personalities who are not willing to submit to heaven or earth."

"So, does that mean this seemingly fair competition will eventually turn into a group targeting Qin Feng?"

"Perhaps," his lover smiled. "This is just my guess; we'll probably only know for sure once we get there."

"However, I think you should have a good talk with Qin Feng and put things out there, otherwise it will be bad if things get so bad later."

"Regardless of winning or losing, you are the closest to him, and you both came from the same war zone."

"Just consider it doing him a favor. Even if you don't get selected in the end, he'll still remember your kindness."

Lu Chong frowned, looking deep in thought.

At the same time, I'm speculating about the credibility of this matter.

If Qin Feng was indeed chosen by his superiors, then the best way to silence public opinion would be to beat everyone equally in a public arena.

Rules are set by people, and naturally, they can be broken by people.

If Qin Feng can truly complete all the training and defeat the others in all the assessments.

The superiors might make an exception this time, especially since Lü Chong heard that Qin Feng seemed to have secretly gotten a girlfriend.

He wasn't sure where she was from, but according to rumors and speculation, she might be a descendant of a military officer, specifically a descendant of a Red Army soldier.

Loyalty, courage, dedication, responsibility, and commitment—he had it all; Lü Chong couldn't think of anything that could stop him from taking that step.

Lu Chong took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll go to the military base tomorrow and have a frank and open talk with him to see how to proceed..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

The lover got up to open the door, but was clearly taken aback when he saw the person standing outside.

"Little Qin?"

"Hello Auntie."

"Quickly, please come in, please come in. Old Lu and I were just talking about you."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lü Chong, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up in surprise. The newcomer was none other than Qin Feng.

He was carrying a box of tea and two bottles of wine, smiling broadly as if he were visiting relatives.

"Qin Feng, what brings you here?"

"Old brigade commander, you're not going to turn me down, are you?"

"Look at what you're saying! Don't leave tonight, just eat here. I'll have your aunt cook."

"Alright, it's been so long since I've tasted Auntie's cooking, let's have a couple of drinks tonight!"

The woman took the things Qin Feng handed her and quickly grabbed the keys to go out and buy groceries.

Qin Feng sat on the sofa, and Lü Chong poured him a cup of tea before getting straight to the point.

"You're here because of that project to form a synthesis team, right?"

"Correct."

“I was just talking to your aunt about this. Your presence is putting a lot of pressure on me.”

Lü Chong was a straightforward person, and most of the people selected to go there were senior colonels.

Once you reach this position, the only goal is to become a general.

This cannot be hidden, and it is beyond doubt.

He and Qin Feng were both in this position, so they were colleagues and competitors.

Qin Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "Old brigade commander, what's your thought?"

Lu Chong took a deep breath: "We'll be unfamiliar with the place and the people there, so we'll definitely have to stick together, at least in the early stages. We can compete fairly during the training and assessment phase later."

“You’re still young, you still have a chance, but I’ve already lost my chance. If I don’t get promoted, I’ll have to leave next year.”

"So don't blame me. I've put things out there because I hope to act like a gentleman first and then like a villain."

"After all, you know that the battlefield is always full of deceit and treachery, so I can't possibly go easy on you."

Qin Feng put down his teacup and looked at him: "Uncle Lü, I'll call you Uncle Lü here..."

Lu Chong nodded: "I'm about the same age as your father, so you should call me uncle. I've watched you grow up and get to where you are today, so just say what you want to say."

"There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there can only be one division commander. I will not give up, and neither will you. It's better to say what you need to say in advance."

Qin Feng hummed in agreement: "Then I'll get straight to the point."

"it is good."

"Uncle Lü, I hope you can voluntarily give up your position and do everything you can to help me take the position of Heavy Armored Synthetic Division Commander!"
