Chapter 1281: Too good at pretending, a group of angry senior officers
The advanced training class of the National Defense University has always been a gathering place for the elites in the military. Those who can step into this place are all people with great ambitions and are expected to become generals in the future. Starting from the rank of major general, they all have very high aspirations, which is also human nature.
The moment Chen Jun stepped into the classroom, he attracted many strange looks. Those who didn't know him looked at him in disdain, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform and sitting in the first row. In their opinion, even the rank of major general is usually awarded after graduation. This guy is so good that he directly wears a lieutenant general's uniform to "pretend to be a big shot". What else can he be but a relative? Many people secretly speculated that he might have put on the lieutenant general's uniform in advance. This behavior is really too "pretentious" and people can't stand it.
Chen Jun's identity was mysterious. Apart from his direct superiors, only some people in the Southeast Military Region knew about him. But those who knew him chose to remain silent and quietly became spectators. After all, Chen Jun's experience and background were too special to be easily revealed to outsiders.
At this moment, behind an open window on the third floor diagonally opposite, two people were hiding. Their sight was facing the classroom of the advanced training class, and they were talking in low voices.
"Instructor Ma Feng, aren't you going over yet? It seems that Chen Jun, who was specially assigned by the military, has been targeted. If you go too late, a fight might break out." The speaker was Principal Zhou. He frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Principal Zhou, you don't have to worry about this." Instructor Ma Feng folded his hands in front of his chest, his expression calm, "Even if a fight breaks out, he won't be able to beat Chen Jun. As mentioned above, he is a special talent. He has won the only special medal in peacetime. In the field of special forces, he is a mysterious leader and even the chief instructor of the three armed forces. My title of chief instructor is not enough in front of him. However, I am a little looking forward to his communication skills and whether he can convince these people."
Principal Zhou smiled softly, with a glimmer of wisdom in his eyes: "So you have such an idea. However, becoming the head of the advanced training class is not a problem that can be solved by ability alone. Here, everyone is a talent who can stand on their own, and everyone is a tough guy. In history, they were all generals, and it is impossible for them to easily submit to another person."
"You have a point." Instructor Ma Feng nodded slightly, tightened his hands around his strong arms, and never took his eyes off the movement in the classroom. At this moment, a colonel had stood up in the classroom and was walking towards Chen Jun, who was hailed as a special warfare hero of the new era.
"Yes, here, military rank is not important, but seniority is more important. After all, those who come here for training will start as major generals and will have them upon graduation. Although Chen Jun is excellent, he is too young. He is only in his early twenties, but Marshal Long has appointed him as lieutenant general in advance? I guess there is some suspicion of connections in this. " Principal Zhou showed a deep look in his eyes, pointed at the colonel who was walking towards Chen Jun in the classroom, and continued, "In the military academy, seniority is very important. If he understands the ways of the world, he will be more low-key and quietly serve as a younger brother, then he can graduate smoothly. You see, the commander of the 9th Combined Division went there. His name is Lan Guangzhi. He is a very outstanding person. Even if he loses a battle, he will never admit defeat. He is a paranoid person."
The two of them watched and discussed the "good show" that was about to happen in the classroom.
At this moment, in the classroom of the advanced training class, Colonel Lan Guangzhi of the 9th Combined Division, who was a popular figure in the class and was considered one of the leaders, walked towards Chen Jun with a carefree step. He had a self-righteous smile on his face, as if he had already won.
"Let me introduce myself, classmate. My name is Lan Guangzhi, and you can just call me big brother." Lan Guangzhi deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of people around him and show off his "status."
Hmm? Chen Jun didn't even raise his head, as he was reading the key point in the book in his hand. However, he still said his name lightly. After all, those present were all senior officers, who would be promoted to generals in the future. They all understood the confidentiality agreement.
"Chen Jun!" His voice was calm and he continued to read the book attentively. This was a newly issued book, still smelling of ink. It seemed that in Chen Jun's eyes, the attraction of books was much greater than socializing with these senior officers.
Seeing Chen Jun's indifference, Lan Guangzhi looked at the two gold stars on his shoulder straps again, and felt as if he was blinded by the light. He rubbed his eyes subconsciously and curled his lips: "The commander of the 9th Combined Division is me. How about it? Have you heard of it? The future direction of military reform cannot do without us." He tried to attract Chen Jun's attention with his identity and achievements.
"I haven't heard of it." Chen Jun still responded calmly, without even raising his head, as if Lan Guangzhi's words were just wind in his ears.
Chen Jun's cold response made the students in the classroom burst into laughter. In this laughter, there was ridicule towards Lan Guangzhi, as well as surprise at Chen Jun's unique attitude.
Seeing this, Lan Guangzhi couldn't hold it anymore. He squinted his eyes, revealing a hint of displeasure: "My little classmate, I have a question. You look to be in your early twenties. Why are you wearing a lieutenant general's uniform? Did you borrow it yourself, or did someone grant it to you in advance?" There was obvious doubt and sarcasm in his tone.
"You are not qualified to know." Chen Jun responded calmly again, turning a page of the book in his hand, as if he did not take Lan Guangzhi's provocation to heart at all.
Hearing this, Lan Guangzhi's expression froze for a moment, and the other students behind him also had a look of "WTF" on their faces. They didn't expect that such a well-known leader like Lao Lan would be ridiculed so directly by a young man, which was a real blow. In their opinion, young people nowadays, in addition to having good sleep quality, are too cruel and don't recognize their relatives. We are all classmates, even if there is a difference in military rank, we shouldn't have such an attitude, this is not a communication, it is clearly a direct challenge!
Lan Guangzhi couldn't stand it anymore, and his narrowed eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He really wanted to rip off Chen Jun's "pretentious" coat, but he finally held back. This was not in line with his style of doing things, he liked to let the other party reveal their own flaws.
"Of course, you are very arrogant. But classmate Chen Jun, I am qualified to tell you that all the senior officers present here can only be awarded the rank of major general after graduation. It is against the rules for you to come here wearing a major general uniform, and you are wearing a lieutenant general uniform? People who don't know would think that you are already the head of a major military region. You are so damn pretentious." Lan Guangzhi blushed and spoke loudly, trying to overwhelm Chen Jun with momentum.
"You kid, you are really a talent!"
"Didn't you find out the school rules before coming here?"
The people around echoed Lan Guangzhi one after another, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense.
"This is my rule. I don't need to explain it to you." Chen Jun continued to read the book leisurely, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. He could sense the "turtle spirit" of these people, but he had seen too many such scenes. In his opinion, the plot was old-fashioned and boring. He was too lazy to pay attention to these things. He just did what he had to do. There were many people who provoked him, not just these few senior officers.
In the army, Chen Jun knew that if you were submissive and acted like a younger brother, the other party would respect you. Anyway, he was really shocked to come here with the rank of lieutenant general. An Ran had talked about this issue and told him: "Just be a straight man and be tough with your wife at home. There is no need to be submissive outside."
Seeing Chen Jun like this, Lan Guangzhi, who originally wanted to make friends and become a big brother, was completely furious. He thought to himself: What kind of person is this! Doesn't he understand the ways of the world? Before coming here, didn't his leader tell him to make more friends and find a backer? All the students present here will be generals in the future, and they will become each other's network of relationships. Doesn't he need it?
Old Lan stood there in a daze, not yet figuring out how to deal with Chen Jun.
But the senior officers present immediately burst into laughter. Although these people have all reached certain positions, when they are together, they are all equal classmates, throwing all dignity behind and laughing when necessary.
"Hey, hey, people treat you, Lan Guangzhi, as if you were nothing, yet you're still standing there smiling politely? You're really polite!"
"Catch the ridiculed Lan Guangzhi alive, hahahaha..."
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Lan Guangzhi's face turned even redder. He clenched his fists, squinted his eyes like He Chenguang's, and said to Chen Jun: "I don't care whether you are pretending or not, or you have connections, but as your eldest brother, I have the responsibility to tell you that the people sitting here are not easy to deal with, and can stand on their own. Don't put on such an attitude and affect the feelings of your classmates. At least, you should respect us big brothers, don't you think so?" He tried to pull others together to put pressure on Chen Jun.
However, the people at the scene did not respond to Lan Guangzhi's proposal. They were all smart people and would not fall into the trap easily. After all, no one wanted to be involved in this meaningless dispute. If they stood on the wrong side, they might get into trouble in the future.
Finally, Chen Jun raised his head slightly, looked at Lan Guangzhi's round face calmly, and said calmly: "Do you think respect is given by others? Then why don't you respect me?" There was no fear in his eyes, but a calmness of seeing through the world.
"I respect you, but you must respect me first. Look, with our ages and qualifications, who among us can't be your big brother? Also, you should give up your seat and sit in the back. You are not qualified to sit here. Stand up, young lieutenant general." Lan Guangzhi became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone was full of sarcasm at the end.
In fact, most people at the scene did not take Chen Jun's rank of lieutenant general seriously. In their hearts, no one believed that someone would be awarded the rank of general before graduating from the advanced training class, let alone a rank of a major commander. They thought Chen Jun was just too "pretentious".
Chen Jun gently closed the book and thought: Sure enough, they came to my door. However, after being a "ghost" for so long and killing so many people, he had no idea of being afraid. He just didn't expect that the school was also a "jianghu". It was nothing special. This completely refreshed his cognition.
Before coming here, he thought that this place was full of students who were studying hard, and that he would be able to ignore what was happening outside after coming here. But now that someone came to visit him, he felt like he was back on the familiar battlefield. This long-lost battle atmosphere made him feel inexplicably refreshed!
"You are so old, and you finally have the opportunity to study. You don't make good use of it, but you are here so childish in the morning." Chen Jun stood up and looked around the audience. His voice was not loud but full of deterrence. His eyes showed a kind of confidence and disdain, telling these people not to play any tricks in front of him...
“Besides, it’s just a title. What’s the point of calling you big brother? It doesn’t mean that I respect you in my heart.”
"Fuck, you kid are really arrogant..." Another colonel pointed at Chen Jun and started cursing.
"He is indeed arrogant and has no respect for others."
"Who are you talking about, kid? You've offended someone."
A group of colonels booed and expressed their anger at Chen Jun. In fact, even if Chen Jun didn't say these words, they were also very unhappy that someone came in front of them with the rank of lieutenant general. It was simply a slap in their faces.
Chen Jun smiled slightly: "Respect depends on strength, not a title. Yes, I am talking about everyone here."
"Damn, this kid's subtext is that all of us here are garbage..." A colonel shouted, and immediately, the crowd was agitated and the classroom was in an uproar. It is worth mentioning that to have reached their current status, the colonels present were not honest people when they were young. Many of them were troublemakers who liked to make trouble.
Chen Jun's words, Chen Jun's attitude, and especially Chen Jun's lieutenant general's uniform, made them all angry.
Someone slammed the table and said loudly: "Well said, strength wins respect, but I want to see what strength this kid has."
"This kid is saying that he alone is more powerful than all of us..."
Lan Guangzhi, who was standing next to Chen Jun, lowered his voice and said to Chen Jun: "Boy, you have offended everyone. Hurry up and recognize me as your big brother. I will protect you. Otherwise, before the instructor comes, he will be kicked out of the classroom and will not be able to read this book."
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun actually stood up. He looked at everyone calmly and said slowly: "Since you admit it, I won't be polite. You are right."
"Everyone here is garbage!"
