Chapter 1316 Deng Zhenhua's Excitement
In this era of material desire and materialism, people's values seem to be influenced by various realistic factors. However, Chen Feng was deeply moved by the pure and firm style of the two veterans during his contact with them, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart.
This made him think of the veterans who had been stationed in the northwest frontier for many years, who had also devoted their lives to the country and the army without reservation. In some ways, the country did pay less attention to these silently dedicated veterans, but they still stuck to their posts and never complained.
Chen Jun looked at the two veterans in front of him and said, "Get in the car. I'll take you somewhere." The two veterans were slightly surprised. After looking at each other, they didn't ask any more questions and followed Chen Jun into the car. Chen Jun drove the car all the way to the Military Medical General Hospital.
He knew that these two veterans had been here for many years, and as they got older, some of their old injuries were likely to flare up. In order to enable them to play a role in subsequent missions and ensure that their physical condition could withstand high-intensity training, it was essential to fully grasp their physical data. After all, he wanted to build a strong parachute force for the Air Force, but he could not do so at the expense of the health of these two veterans.
After arriving at the Military Medical General Hospital, the three walked straight into the hospital. Under Chen Jun's arrangement, Li Tiangang and Zhao Yiming began to undergo a comprehensive physical examination. The entire physical examination process was very detailed and covered all aspects of the body. It can be seen that Li Tiangang and Zhao Yiming were a little nervous, and there was a trace of worry in their eyes, fearing that their physical examination results would fail. After so many years of baptism, they have accumulated a lot of old injuries. Although they have been exercising regularly, they are not sure whether they can pass this strict physical examination.
They know that the results of the physical examination are crucial to whether they can handle the next high-intensity tasks. If they are eliminated due to physical reasons, their dreams of many years will be shattered, which will undoubtedly be a lifelong regret for them.
Under normal circumstances, such a comprehensive physical examination usually takes two to three days to produce a report. However, Chen Jun's identity is not ordinary. He is an army general and holds a letter of authorization issued by the commander himself. This special identity and authorization have given them extremely high treatment in the hospital. After the dean learned the news, he personally came out to entertain them and summoned the most experienced experts in the hospital.
Not long after, Dean Lu came over with a printed physical examination report and a smile on his face.
"So fast!" Seeing this scene, Li Tiangang and Zhao Yiming became more nervous, and their bodies tensed up unconsciously. At first, they were skeptical about Chen Jun and didn't trust him. But after seeing Chen Jun's skills, their minds changed completely. They clearly realized that Chen Jun was a very powerful leader. Following such a leader, they felt that their dreams of many years might really come true, as if they could usher in the "second life" of their lives. In particular, Chen Jun's concept of creating the strongest paratroopers, combining modern weapons with traditional paratroopers, made them even more excited. If they were eliminated now due to physical reasons, they would really regret it for the rest of their lives.
Dean Lu walked up to them and said with an amazed look on his face, "I really didn't expect that you are all over 40 years old, but your physical fitness is still so good. It's unbelievable!"
Old Li's voice was trembling with excitement: "Dean Lu, what is our physical fitness like? Can we handle high-intensity tasks?"
Old Lu smiled, his eyes full of admiration: "Very impressive, not only passed the test, the various body functions you tested are comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo, your actual body age is only 28 or 29 years old, it is really too strong. The experts in the inspection team were all stunned, this should be the result of your years of exercise!"
"Can we... handle high-intensity tasks?" Old Zhao couldn't contain his excitement and asked anxiously.
"Well... Generally speaking, high-intensity missions have high physical requirements and are usually recommended to be performed before the age of 40. But according to your physical indicators, there should be no problem performing such missions before the age of 45. However, you must also pay attention to the follow-up and come to the hospital for regular check-ups."
"Haha..." Upon hearing the good news, the two veterans' eyes sparkled with joy, and they hugged each other excitedly on the spot. The big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and their years of persistence and hard work were affirmed at this moment.
Next to them, Chen Jun took their medical examination reports, expressed his sincere gratitude to President Lu, and immediately took them out of the hospital to the pilot training base.
After arriving at the base, Lao Li and Lao Zhao were immediately surrounded by the familiar atmosphere. Everything here, every inch of land, every piece of equipment, evoked their deep memories. Their eyes revealed an inexplicable excitement, as if time had gone back to their youth. Once upon a time, they shed sweat here and trained passionately on this training ground. They loved this place deeply.
After seeing the captain coming back, Xiaozhuang, Wang Yanbing, He Chenguang and others immediately ran over excitedly.
When paratrooper Deng Zhenhua saw the two veterans, his eyes widened and he could hardly believe his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately saluted the two veterans solemnly.
"Old squad leader, I'm Deng Zhenhua. I'm the soldier you led back then. Where have you been after all these years? I've been looking for you, but I can never find you." Deng Zhenhua's voice was filled with excitement and longing.
It turned out that after the reorganization of the Air Force, the numbers were cancelled, and Lao Li and Lao Zhao left the base quietly without saying hello to any pilots. They hid in an abandoned warehouse that decayed along with the fighter planes for more than ten years. Except for a few senior officials, almost no one knew where they went. After so many years, the paratroopers have always missed their old squad leader.
Deng Zhenhua, who was usually carefree, seemed like a different person at this moment. He cried like a child, his eyes were red, and big tears rolled down his cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
Shi Dafan and the others were shocked. In everyone's impression, the paratrooper was always an optimist, laughing all day long. He was the only one who made others laugh, and they had never seen him crying with red eyes. They didn't expect that he would cry so sadly today.
"What's going on? The paratrooper is crying like a woman. I've never seen him like this." Wang Yanbing looked at Deng Zhenhua in shock.
He Chenguang and the others also opened their mouths wide, their eyes kept scanning the two veterans, their hearts full of doubts. These two veterans looked ordinary, could it be that one of them was the father of the paratrooper?
"Maybe the two veterans are the lifeblood of the paratroopers. I feel touched as soon as I see them." Someone speculated.
Amid the surprise of the crowd, Deng Zhenhua saluted again and said loudly: "Two old squad leaders, your disciple Deng Zhenhua salutes you. Where have you been? I will always remember your code names, Falcon and Flying Shark. You are the gods in my heart, the electricity in my heart, and the eternal myths..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Deng Zhenhua used to brag about himself, but this was the first time they heard him use such respectful words to describe others. From his words, it was obvious that these two seemingly ordinary veterans were not ordinary people, but the kings among the paratroopers. Everyone couldn't help but respect them.
Chen Jun looked at this scene and said, "From now on, the two veteran paratroopers, Flying Shark and Falcon, will be responsible for the special training of the Air Force. I would like to ask the two veteran comrades to come up with a training plan, divide the work and cooperate to train these active pilots into the strongest paratroopers. We need to increase their training intensity and combine modernity with tradition. Veterans never die, and the legacy continues..."
The last sentence deeply touched the hearts of Li Tiangang and Zhao Yiming. They straightened their chests, saluted solemnly, and responded loudly: "We guarantee to complete the task!"
After arranging the second phase of parachute training, Chen Jun drove directly to the headquarters to find the old naughty Commander Ding. After all, the re-arrangement of the two veterans needed to be formally incorporated into the Air Force system, which was not something he could decide alone. He had to report to Commander Ding and get his support.
"Hahaha, it's only been three days. Did you miss me again? You came to see me at the headquarters so soon..." Seeing Chen Jun coming to visit so quickly, Commander Ding laughed happily, "Is it because these pilots don't have any pressure in training? I said, they are all aces who have received systematic training. As long as someone guides them, they will get used to it immediately. However, it also depends on who the instructor is. With your ability, you will definitely be able to guide them quickly."
"Have tea, have tea, let's talk slowly! What stage has your training reached?" Commander Ding greeted Chen Jun warmly, made tea for him personally, and then asked again about the progress of the training.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun's next words surprised Commander Ding.
"Well, we have already moved on to the aerial project. Also, I will be training in the air myself." Chen Jun said calmly.
"You... You went straight to the sky? Three days..." Commander Ding's eyes widened, his face full of shock. Of course he knew that Chen Jun wanted to learn how to fly a fighter plane, but pilot training is a systematic and lengthy process. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least three months. Even for those with extraordinary talents and strong learning ability, a month of training is essential. But Chen Jun actually said that he would go to the sky for training in just three days. This is really outrageous.
"No...God is no joke. If anything happens, even I, the chief of the Air Force, can't cover it up. Standing behind you, besides the heads of the Navy and the Army, there are also the military, Long Shuai and others. If anything happens to you here, I will definitely be taken away and 'shot' tomorrow. Chen Jun, listen to my advice. Going to God is too risky. We can't control it. We must take it step by step and not be nervous at every step..." Commander Ding advised with a worried look on his face.
Chen Jun smiled and said, "Let's not talk about my business for now. When I really go to heaven, I will ask you to take a look and help me check it out."
"So, is there something else that brought you here today?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chen Jun, Commander Ding changed the subject and asked.
"Yes, about the organization of the two veteran comrades..." Then, Chen Jun told Commander Ding about the matter of Li Tiangang and Zhao Yiming in detail.
"I need to make use of them, so I must report to you and make arrangements. At the same time, it would be best if you can promote them. Commander, after a period of development, our troops have initially solved the weapon fear syndrome, but have also lost a lot of things from our ancestors. Some soldiers, on the contrary, worship foreign troops, and even say that they are the only foreign special training special operations team and the sharpening stone of the entire army... Little do they know that these foreign troops were once beaten to a pulp by our ancestors."
"Commander, the development path of our troops is not to blindly imitate foreign armies, but to seek wisdom from our ancestors, from these veterans. Over the years, the country has given up too many veterans to a certain extent for development and has failed to live up to their efforts. I can understand this. But they must have been waiting silently, hoping that the motherland will call them." Chen Jun said earnestly.
Commander Ding listened to Chen Jun's story, and his cynical expression disappeared, becoming extremely serious. He pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Chen Jun, the problems you mentioned do exist. In the pursuit of modernization over the years, we have paid too much attention to new concepts and technologies, and have somewhat neglected the value of these veterans. They are the precious wealth of the army and an important link in inheriting the spirit of soldiers."
"Since you value these two veterans, Li Tiangang and Zhao Yiming, so much, and they have undergone physical examinations and proven to have excellent physical fitness, I will definitely fully support your arrangement. Regarding the promotion, I will discuss it with the relevant departments and come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible."
"However, what you said about the direction of development of the troops is indeed an issue worthy of in-depth discussion. We cannot blindly worship foreign troops, and we cannot throw away the things left by our ancestors. These veterans have the traditional military spirit that we need to inherit and carry forward." Commander Ding said seriously.
Chen Jun was delighted after hearing what Commander Ding said: "Commander, I feel relieved with your words. These two veterans are very experienced. With them in charge of special training for the Air Force, I believe we can definitely build a unique parachute force."
"Well, I hope so. By the way, you just said that you also want to go into the air for training. This is no trivial matter. Although I know that you are very capable, flight training is professional and dangerous after all. Have you really thought it through?" Commander Ding was still a little worried about Chen Jun's flight training plan.
"Commander, I have thought about it. I want to have a deep understanding of every aspect of flight training so that I can better grasp the training direction of the entire paratrooper unit. Moreover, I am confident that I can complete the training while ensuring safety." Chen Jun said firmly.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. But you must pay attention to safety, and feel free to communicate with me if you have any questions." Commander Ding sighed helplessly. He knew that once Chen Jun made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
"Yes, Commander! I will definitely treat it with caution. As for the organization and promotion of the two veterans, I'm sorry to bother you." Chen Jun said gratefully.
Commander Ding was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, I will draft a document now and, through special approval by the military department, promote both of them to the rank of lieutenant colonel. This will also make it easier for them to act. Heroic veterans should stay in the army forever."
