Chapter 849 Which Chief of Staff is back?

It is hard to imagine that in this age where everyone is vying for fame and fortune, there would be people who are unwilling to climb up.

He even refused commendations and praises from his superiors many times just to prevent himself from being promoted too quickly.

From the Steel Knife Company to the Steel Knife Combined Battalion, although it is only a change from a company-level unit to a battalion-level unit, how many difficulties and hardships have there been along the way?

From overseas missions, to earthquake relief, to peacekeeping missions in African countries, to grassland competitions against Lan Zhiguang, and international exchange competitions...

Repeated life-and-death crises have tied the entire battalion together as one. All the soldiers have such a tacit understanding that even without Ge Zhiyong issuing combat orders, everyone knows clearly where they should go and what they should do.

This is a combat team with strong combat effectiveness, subjective initiative, and independent combat awareness.

It is precisely because of this that the Steel Knife Combined Battalion has been able to stand out in confrontations and competitions time and time again, and is expected to become a benchmark for combined battalions throughout the army.

Ge Zhiyong sighed: "Although I have already done enough psychological preparation, but when this day comes, I still can't bear to leave."

Lu Chong consoled him, "I understand. After all, it's been so long, and you two have brought this company up single-handedly. But don't worry, the next commander to take over will be an excellent commander who won't bring disgrace to the Steel Blade Company's reputation."

The army belongs to the country and the people.

Whether it is Lu Chong or Ge Zhiyong, they are just passers-by in this team.

During their work, they were assigned to this unit by their superiors, and they completed their mission and led this unit well.

When the mission is completed, he will naturally be transferred from the unit and hand over the baton to the next commander.

But people have feelings. After developing feelings for a unit and then breaking up with it, the pain is as severe as if your girlfriend of ten years suddenly breaks up with you.

There is no cheating, no melodrama, but they just can't be together for various reasons.

You know, she still loves you, and she also can't bear to leave you. How heartbreaking it is.

"Brigade Commander, can we only be promoted in rank without upgrading our positions?" Guo Haitao asked, still holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"No." Lu Chong shook his head helplessly. "Qin Feng's situation is already a special case. Soldiers should serve in their assigned positions. Besides, the higher-ups also hope that after transferring you, they can train more outstanding teams like the Steel Blade Battalion."

"A strong team is not a strong team. Only when all teams are strong can we truly achieve a strong country and a strong army."

"I understand your reluctance, because I went through this step by step myself. But you can't let this emotion affect your future work. At least when the interview team comes, you must fully demonstrate the spirit of the camp."

Ge Zhiyong and Guo Haitao adjusted their mindsets and nodded in agreement.

All good things must come to an end. When it’s time to leave, you have to leave.

In other words, if they always stay in that position, they will also hinder others' advancement.

New people, new things, new country. As the army progresses through reform, countless young talents will actively flock in.

They should also give some space to young people with ideals, ambitions and abilities to display their talents.

Seeing that the two agreed, Lu Chong also smiled. He was originally worried that the two would not compromise, but now it seems that the antique lighter was not given in vain, at least it still played a certain role.

Of course, he had several more of the same lighters in his drawer. His old platoon leader had seized a box from the enemy position and gave each of them several.

Once there are more things, the weight becomes lighter, but it is still very effective in adding categories to the emotional cards.

"Commander, there is one more thing..."

Before Ge Zhiyong could finish his words, Lu Chong raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know what you want to ask. What's the situation with Qin Feng?"

"Correct."

"I'm not sure yet, but I can tell you that he will come back when it's time."

There was some disappointment in the eyes of Ge Zhiyong and the other man.

It has been a month and a half since Qin Feng left, and no news has been heard yet.

According to their guess, this border live-fire drill was most likely because of Qin Feng.

But they have no idea what the situation is with this person, whether he is alive or dead.

As for Yuan Feng's sudden departure with the team a while ago, it was also done without anyone noticing.

When they came back, many people were injured, but he couldn't ask because of the confidentiality regulations.

They didn't know what mission he was carrying out, which made them even more worried about Qin Feng's safety.

Ge Zhiyong stood up and prepared to say goodbye: "Brigade Commander, if there is nothing else, we will go back first."

"Leaving now?" Lu Chong looked at his watch. "Have a meal here before you go. I've already asked the cafeteria to prepare it. Consider it a celebration for you in advance. We have to rush back to work in the afternoon, so let's not drink, just have some drinks."

It was almost time for dinner, so the two of them decided to just finish their meal before going back.

They chatted about something else in the office, then got up together and prepared to go to the office cafeteria.

But just as he reached the door, a signalman came running over to report.

"Report to the brigade commander, chief of staff, the chief of staff is back!"

"Old Qiu, what is he coming back for?"

Lu Chong frowned. Qiu Guohai had called him before and complained to him.

He complained bitterly on the phone, saying that the reinforced regiment was really difficult to lead.

Is this a case of deserting the battlefield or giving up?

This task was not issued from the army, but from the headquarters.

If Qiu Guohai really gave up, he would be so embarrassed!

Ge Zhiyong and Guo Haitao also heard something about the situation of the reinforced regiment.

Especially the first and second companies, which were full of various problem soldiers, troublemakers, and young masters and rich boys sent to the army from local areas for training.

Although the overall strength of this team is quite good, the self-awareness and initiative of some of the soldiers are very poor.

It is said that during an exercise confrontation, the company commander and platoon leaders took the lead in disobeying orders.

Although the battle was won in the end, a large number of people were severely punished.

Disobeying orders on the battlefield is a taboo. Even if you have strong combat capabilities, you cannot disobey orders.

After all, people like Li Yunlong are a minority. Most of the time, unauthorized actions will disrupt the original battlefield layout, causing the situation to get out of control and resulting in irreparable losses.

So, Qiu Guohai was scared by those guys and really ran away?

The signalman shook his head: "It's not Captain Qiu, it's Chief of Staff Qin, Chief of Staff Qin Feng!"

"What? You said Qin Feng is back? Where is he?"

"Just after entering the gate..."

Lu Chong turned around and was about to call Ge Zhiyong and the other two to go with him to meet them.

But when he turned around, he found that there was no trace of the two people.

The two of them couldn't wait to run downstairs, rushing towards the door excitedly at the speed of a 100-meter sprint...
