Chapter 635: The Chief Is Here
The chemical defense regimental commander had just rushed to the provincial military area. If it wasn’t for the chief from the capital city who mentioned the military training, he wouldn’t be sitting next to the chiefs with higher ranks and positions than him.
“The students are the hope of a country. They are our successors. They are the reason why our country has a future. The military training must be passed on from generation to generation. It must form the spirit of our country.”
Commander Xia sat at the main conference table and said calmly, full of convincing military power.
Commander Liu took down the key points of the meeting and asked the chemical defense regimental commander who was sitting beside him, “Old Guo, the students from the Provincial No.1 Middle School are in your regiment right?”
“Provincial No.1 and No.16 Middle School are in my regiment. Did you get some over on your side?” They were all from the same province and would meet each other in meetings. They all knew each other. Commander Guo from the chemical defense regiment looked at Commander Liu’s notes and laughed, “Your handwriting has improved.”
Hearing that, Commander Liu closed his notebook and stared at him, “Your handwriting is not any better than mine. Stop cutting in. Let me ask you something.” Old Guo had seen his handwriting and gained a bit of confidence! Commander Liu simply took the notebook in his hand, “There’s a girl called Ye Jian in Provincial No.1 Middle School. How? Did she surprise you?”
She was like his own baby, and he couldn’t help but show her off to everyone. Even the expression on his face was full of pride and honor.
Commander Guo, who wanted to make fun of him a while heard that and realized the person his political commissar was jealous of was just in front of him. He immediately became interested. “We’ll discuss this later! It’s hard to explain in a few words.”
“Sure. We’ll talk during lunch. I’ve got no time later as I have something on in the afternoon and I have to rush back to the unit at eight in the evening. You can get back to your unit in a few hours. I can only reach tomorrow.” Commander Liu had rushed over from Fujun Town and would need to accompany Commander Xia to take a look at the motorized infantry soldiers’ base after the meeting. Then, he would be heading back to the city by train at six in the evening and would only reach Fujun Town after six hours.
Both of them couldn’t just keep talking to each other. They ended their conversation after a few whispers.
“This is the first time the Southern Province is conducting military training for middle schools. This has provided valuable experience to the provinces that have to include military training next year. All military units who conducted the training will write a summary report when it ends to provide reference for the provinces.”
It was noon, and as Commander Xia concluded, the entire meeting ended in applause.
A green figure walked out of the meeting venue orderly and neatly with shoulders covered with shining golden epaulets. The authority that he had was enough to render others breathless.
It was natural that Commander Xia was the one at the forefront. Although the meeting had ended, the work of understanding the affairs of various military units was not over. The leaders of the provincial military districts wore their regular clothes and didn’t feel hot under the sun. Everyone’s attention was focused on Commander Xia’s words as he answered questions cautiously with a serious expression.
As an army general, Commander Xia had the highest rank in the Chinese army, and also the highest rank of the Chinese military. No one would dare to take him lightly, and no one would dare to be slipshod.
They were walking fast and their shirts were already wet with sweat. Commander Liu, who had wanted to say a few words to Commander Guo, was pulled over by other colleagues to discuss things. As for Commander Guo, he was even busier. He was drawn for questioning by Commander Xia himself.
