After drinking the pot of coffee, it was already dark. Pei Chengyi did not sleep all night, not thinking about fighting, but with him a pound. He couldn't think of the brain power, but thinking about the intention of the head of state to give him this top-secret document. It was impossible for Pei Chengyi to understand the current situation.

The direct intention of the head of state was very simple, let Pei Chengyi know that after the war started, the scale would be amazing and be mentally prepared. Pei Chengyi did not expect it for a moment, nor did he think about it seriously. After reading the document, Pei Chengyi vaguely felt that the head of state did not regard him as a soldier, or at least not as an ordinary soldier, because the matter mentioned in the document that needed attention to the soldiers can be mentioned in the pre-war intelligence brief, most of which only need to be mentioned in one note. There is no need to understand in detail. After living in Pakistan for a few years, seeing through the essence of Pakistan's political struggle, Pei Chengyi was not interested in any matters other than the duties of a soldier.

After receiving a call from Dongfang Wen, Pei Chengyi changed into military uniform and finished smoking the cigarette he brought back first.

"General, I brought you breakfast, and Dongfang Wen took out two packs of cigarettes and stuffed them into Pei Chengyi's hand. "I forgot to stay last night, and I brought it specially today."

“What does this mean, bribery?

"Of course not. The cigarette is rationed by the General Staff. I don't smoke much.

Pei Chengyi smiled and held the cigarette and the paper bag he was holding.

"I contacted the tailor for you and came over to measure the size while having lunch."

"What are you doing to measure the size?"

Dongfang Wen looked at Pei Chengyi and said, "This year's new military uniform has been changed. Your sets are outdated. The Chief of Staff ordered me to find a tailor to make a few new military uniforms for you. You don't have to worry about it. It is guaranteed that they are the best tailor. The cost will be deducted from your allowance.

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

After improving the treatment of soldiers, in response to the request of the majority of officers and soldiers, the Ministry of National Defense revised the military uniform management regulations at the end of the year. In addition to the uniforms and combat uniforms being customized by the logistics department, regular clothes and dresses are purchased by soldiers according to unified standards. The Ministry of National Defense issued military uniform dress fees according to price changes. This reform has given birth to many garment stores that specialize in serving soldiers. There are 8 garment stores near the General Staff. Except for the three orders from enterprises on demand, the rest are handicraft workshops, specifically for generals and senior officers. With Pei Chengyi's allowance level, it is no problem to buy a few new military uniforms. Besides, the money for purchasing military uniforms is paid by the Ministry of National Defense, which is a bit unreasonable if you don't need to.

When he arrived at the General Staff Department, Dongfang Wen sent Pei Chengyi to the floor where the Chief of Staff Office was located. He returned to his unit to report.

The General Staff is still the same, which makes Pei Chengyi a little surprised.

Before the southern Tibet conflict, someone proposed to rebuild the General Staff Office Building and applied for reconstruction funds. When Pei Chengyi went to study at the National Defense University, the General Staff Office, which was in charge of the affairs, was negotiating a contract with a domestic construction company. Logically speaking, a few years later, the new office building of the General Staff Office had been repaired, and now it is still a brick and stone building built in the last century.

Could it be that Xiang Yinghui is reluctant to spend money?

There is this possibility.

Although Xiang Yinghui is willing to spend money on military construction and military welfare, Xiang Yinghui is actually a very frugal person. Sometimes he is more stingy than his ex-Peng Maobang. Not to mention anything else, the Chief of Staff Office has been working for many years since the day Zhang Maobang took office. It should have been redecorated for a long time, and it doesn't take much money. Xiang Yinghui just can't bear it. This is understandable. Xiang Yinghui climbed up from the grassroots troops. After suffering, he naturally knows how to save.

"I came very early, how did I sleep last night?"

"To be honest, I didn't sleep all night."

Xiang Yinghui glanced at Pei Chengyi and shook his head with a smile. "I miss my wife, but it's still the same.

"Mr. Xiang, am I the kind of person who has a love relationship with my children?

"This is not accurate. As the saying goes, the scholar should look at each other with admiration, and the three autumns are endless. Who knows whether you have changed?"

"Don't you often say that I'm still the same way?"

Xiang Yinghui brought the tea over and stopped chatting with Pei Chengyi. "Have you had breakfast?"

"I ate on the road, it seems to be Goubuli buns

"like?"

"I don't care anyway."

"Okay, you kid is really the same. You never care about irrelevant things. Xiang Yinghui walked to the desk, pressed the phone, and ordered the secretary outside, Xiao Zhang, let Yuan Chenhao come to me in ten minutes, remember to ask him to bring the documents I gave him yesterday.

When Pei Chengyi heard this name, he frowned slightly.

"You should know him, Xiang Yinghui, came over," and we met, but I'm afraid you don't remember it.

"I really don't remember." Pei Chengyi did not lie.

"In the Japanese War, the captain and staff officer who was clamoring to go to Seed Island."

"You mean," Pei Chengyi immediately remembered, "It turned out to be that boy. In short, he is in his thirties, right?"

“Thirty-three, it’s already a colonel

“It’s rising so fast?”

"Why, jealous? In terms of promotion speed, this kid is no worse than you, but he just didn't break your record."

Pei Chengyi smiled. He would not be jealous of a young officer ten years younger than him.

Yuan Chenhao can be regarded as Xiang Yinghui's second major discovery, the first pound. The major discovery was naturally Pei Chengyi. The year before the outbreak of the Japanese War, this captain officer who obtained the dual master's degree in military strategy and combat planning at the National Defense University came to the General Staff and became a staff officer under Pei Chengyi, who was the director of the Operations Department at the time. Like all the staff officers who went to the General Staff after graduating from the Military Academy, Yuan Chen... the first year of the General Staff Department was basically! There was no performance, Xinyao, and it was just an injustice... or Pei Chengyi brought tea and poured water. If nothing unexpected happened, Yuan Chenhao would go to the grassroots troops to train for at least two years after two years, that is, after basically getting familiar with the situation of the General Staff. If he performed well, when he returned to the General Staff, he would at least be a major officer and become a senior staff officer.

There were unexpected situations in the world, and after a thug, the Japanese war broke out in 2008.

After entering the state of war, the work burden of the General Staff Department has greatly increased, especially the combat office, which has to plan combat operations and command combat operations. Even the senior staff members are all too busy to do so.

Yuan Chenhao got the first opportunity to perform at this time: assisting senior staff and thugs in the battle.

Relatively speaking, this is not the best opportunity.

The officers of the General Staff knew that only by being assigned to the battle command task could they be considered as having a rise.

It's gold, it will shine sooner or later.

When assisting senior staff to thug the battle, Yuan Chenhao first proposed to use airborne troops to attack Ryukyu Island. Although this suggestion was "stolen for himself" by his senior staff. Yuan Chenhao failed to attract Pei Chengyi's attention, the combat plan he proposed has achieved great results in actual combat. He made great contributions to the attack on Ryukyu Island. Of course, Yuan Chenhao could not reach the sky in one step. It was not what he thought of for the Marines to pretend to attract the enemy's attention, but what Pei Chengyi thought of when he improved the combat plan.

After successfully capturing Ryukyu Island, the Republic began to march northward.

When submitting the second combat plan, Yuan Chenhao bypassed his immediate superior and sent Ji Ge thug to Pei Chengyi. If this move was in normal times, Yuan Chenhao would have lost his job, because in the army with strict hierarchy, there would be no way to report the level beyond the level. Fortunately, Pei Chengyi was busy commanding the combat operations to sweep the surrounding islands at that time, and once again followed the trend for the combat plan submitted by the captain's staff, making great contributions to the final defeat of Japan.

When he captured Yakushima and Seed Island and re-planned a strategic strike against Japan, Pei Chengyi noticed the combat plan submitted by Yuan Chenhao. At this time, several kilograms had passed. Yue, Pei Chengyi was already busy and was naturally unable to associate the name of the combat plan with one of the hundreds of staff members.

Like adopting the previous combat plan, Pei Chengyi once again adopted Yuan Chenhao's combat rules. The Army orbital artillery troops were deployed to Yakushima and Seed Island, and used electromagnetic guns with a range of hundreds of kilometers to carry out strategic strikes on large and medium-sized cities in the southwest of Japan.

Because he had not received any news about whether the combat plan was adopted, Yuan Chenhao was also very anxious.

When Yuan Chenhao learned that the General Staff had asked the Army Artillery Testing Unit to go to Yakushima and Seed Island, he immediately arbitrarily believed that it was his boss who stole his "results". At this time, Yuan Chenhao took the initiative to report and asked to go to Yakushima and Seed Island to command the battle.

Of course, the precise way is to investigate the practical performance of the new orbital electromagnetic gun.

At this time, Pei Chengyi knew that the strategic strike would not last too long and was fully assisting the State Council’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct armistice negotiations with Japan and cope with the pressure from Western countries. Since some people are willing to go to the front line to investigate the actual combat performance of new equipment, it is naturally better. Pei Chengyi approved Yuan Chenhao’s transfer report without thinking.

This was also Pei Chengyi's last time "contacted with Yuan Chenhao."

In fact, the two of them had never met each other except for occasionally meeting at get off work and meeting at regular meetings in departments. After all, there were hundreds of staff officers in the combat office, and Pei Chengyi only had contact with senior staff officers. Low-level staff officers like Yuan Chenhao were led by senior staff officers, so it was impossible for everyone to be familiar with Pei Chengyi.

From then on, Yuan Chenhao has been in the grassroots troops.

During the conflict in southern Tibet, Yuan Chenhao also followed the independent artillery brigade of the old army to head to the front line and participated in the combat operation to support the airborne thugs and nephew camp to attack Dawang. Strictly speaking, Yuan Chenhao's performance at the grassroots level was not very good because he was not a professional artillery. He was just a subordinate officer of the General Staff, and the grassroots troops gave him face. It was precisely because his performance at the grassroots level was indeed not outstanding that Yuan Chenhao stayed at the grassroots level for several years.

In 2018, Du Chengyi went to the National Defense University for further study.

The newly appointed combat department is far inferior to Pei Chengyi. Although there are not many combat tasks in peacetime, Xiang Yinghui is always worried. In order to strengthen the work ability of the combat department, Xiang Yinghui personally ordered the generals to recruit senior officers from the grassroots level. In order to make the transferred senior officers familiar with the working environment of the General Staff as soon as possible, Xiang Yinghui first considered the low-level staff who were previously delegated to work at the grassroots level, especially the low-level staff of the Operations Department. Dozens of low-level staff who were delegated to work for less than two years benefited from it. Yuan Chenhao, who had been working at the grassroots level for more than three years, also returned to the General Staff.

Returning to the General Staff Department, Yuan Chenhao was successfully promoted to major officer.

It took Yuan Chenhao nearly 7 years to go from a captain to a major, which is not fast, and is even lower than the average annual promotion speed. More importantly, Yuan Chenhao's promotion has nothing to do with his performance. However, after returning to the General Staff, he has served in his years and reached the maximum dog years of promotion. If he is not promoted, he can only retire. Xiang Yinghui needs more personnel, and it takes at least an old year to train new senior staff. It is better to promote an officer who has reached the promotion period.

It can be said that Yuan Chenhao picked up a cheap one.

It was from this time that Yuan Chenhao had "returned luck".

At the end of the year, the collaborative practical exercise of multiple arms on the plateau was held by code-named "Winter Horn Biao". The combat plan formulated by Yuan Chenhao helped the Blue Army, who played the imaginary enemy, win a great victory, which attracted Xiang Yinghui's high attention. You should know that "Winter Horn Biao. The actual military exercise was held.

"Five Thugs, Prison, the Red Army is the field army that is best at fighting in harsh environments on the plateau. The only time in the previous exercises was seen, that is, the time when Pei Chengyi was the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army, the Blue Army defeated the Red Army! It was during this exercise that made a big splash, laying the foundation for later serving as the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army of the Republic in the Peninsula War. At that time, Pei Chengyi was already a colonel's staff officer.

It is never easy for a major staff officer to have such ability.

If we consider that Yuan Chenhao's opponent was the commander of the sword army, and the youngest field army in the Republic, Ling Yunxiao, it would be even more difficult!

At the beginning of the following year, Yuan Chenhao was promoted to Army Lieutenant Colonel.

It seems that it is going to test Yuan Chenhao. During the "Winter Strong Wrestling" exercise, Xiang Yinghui transferred him from the Blue Army camp to the Red Army camp and replaced Ling Yunxiao as the joint commander. As a result, Xiang Yinghui was not disappointed. Under Yuan Chenhao's planning and command, the Red Army defeated the Blue Army without any suspense.

In the year of Ao, Yuan Chenhao was promoted to Army Colonel.

The promotion record set by Pei Chengyi in 2 years has broken the promotion record set by Pei Chengyi because it took Pei Chengyi a year to go from major to colonel.

"If I remember correctly, he is the same age as you." Xiang Yinghui smiled and said, "Ten years and one generation, I am more than ten years older than you, and you are ten years older than Yuan Chenhao. It's really the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves of the previous waves, and one wave is even higher than the other."

"Mr. Xiang, you are almost twenty years older than me."

"Am I that old?" Xiang Yinghui smiled and shook his charity, "If I remember correctly, I will be at most five years old."

"That's not ten years old either."

"Okay, you're serious again

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then changed his words and said, "Yuan Chenhao must be from Sichuan, right?"

"Yes, it's four people, do you remember?"

"I remembered that many staff officers complained about the smell of spicy oil in the office. They said it was Douban brought by Yuan Chenhao from his hometown.

"Is that true? Sichuan's Douban is really good, and Chongqing's is also very authentic."

"I still remember that his family was not very good."

"It's very average, not good, not bad." Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment. He went to the drawer of the desk to find a personnel file and handed it to Pei Chengyi, "This is his pound, human file. This year's promotion arrangements are about to begin again. If there is no major problem, he will be a brigade general next year."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and opened Yuan Chenhao's personal profile.

Like all the "young and strong" officers, Yuan Chenhao has no military background. His ancestral home is Anyue, Sichuan. His father used to be a small business and opened a copy shop. After the global financial crisis broke out in Renfeinian, his business was in a downturn. He worked hard to get into a civil servant. He worked hard for many years and was just a government agency staff member.

In Biao Nian, Wang Yuanqing implemented the "Simplified Military and Simplified Administration" campaign and greatly reduced the staff of government agencies. Yuan's father voluntarily resigned at this time and received high subsidies and full pension insurance. Compared with his father, Yuan Chenhao's ambition was much greater. In the old year, he was ranked third in the county and was admitted to the undergraduate and master's degree in Military Strategy of China University of Defense Technology. The second major of undergraduate is campaign planning, and the second major of master's degree is also campaign planning. From this academic choice, Yuan Chenhao's ambition can be seen.

If you only study military strategy, Yuan Chenhao's best place to go after graduation was not the General Staff. When he went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a military officer stationed abroad or saw the Ministry of National Defense, he began to abandon military affairs and go to literature. The second major chose campaign planning, which paved the way for him to enter the General Staff. At the beginning, the main reason why the General Staff recruited him was not how many major scores he had won in college or how many scholarships he received, but that his second major score was better than his major.

After reading it, Pei Chengyi smiled. This kid is not simple.
