Chapter 1286 Everyone Wants to Be the Leader
Chapter 1286 Everyone Wants to Be the Leader
After Chen Jun finished scolding Lan Guangzhi, he slowly put on his straight general's coat. Every movement revealed his calmness and composure. Then, he sat down leisurely and continued reading, as if the fierce confrontation just now had never happened.
But every word he said just now was like a sharp needle, piercing deep into the hearts of Lan Guangzhi and others. At this moment, they were like students who made a mistake and were called to the principal's office by the teacher, and they dared not even breathe.
You know, in their respective regular troops, they are all leaders, in charge of many soldiers. On weekdays, they are powerful and eloquent in the army, and they are well-deserved generals. But who would have thought that today, in front of this young man, they were so embarrassed that they had no power to fight back, and they didn't even have the courage to fight. They could only feel wronged like a young wife who had just married and was bullied.
Nearby, several senior officers from the Southeast Military Region witnessed this scene, all with gloating expressions on their faces.
They thought to themselves: I warned you not to provoke ghosts, but you refused to listen. Now you are asking for trouble. In the past, those people from Langya were arrogant enough, right? Lei Zhan, Lao Gao, and even the head of the wolf, He Zhijun, had been arrogant in front of Chen Jun, but what was the result? Lei Zhan and others eventually became Chen Jun's subordinates, and He Zhijun admired Chen Jun so much that he respectfully called himself a student when he saw Chen Jun, and was willing to worship him.
"It looks like a fight is about to break out. These colonels are well-known figures in their respective territories, so how could they submit to Chen Jun so easily? If things get out of hand, Chen Jun will accuse us leaders of inaction, which will be difficult to handle." Principal Zhou frowned, looking worried, and wanted to go over to stop it.
But he was pulled back by Instructor Ma, who showed a deep and confident smile on his face and said, "There is no need to go over there, they don't dare to fight. If they really planned to fight, they would have started fighting at the beginning. Principal, I love wine. If you trust me, just prepare your treasured Remy Martin for me. Don't worry, this matter will not be a big deal. In three days at most, I guarantee that they will bow down at Chen Jun's feet and obey his orders."
"No way... These people are all well-known figures, and they are all arrogant. How could they submit to another general so quickly? Lan Guangzhi and Zhao Shan both wanted to be their big brother before, but they failed after trying very hard. Even if they respond with a few words on the surface, they may not be really convinced in their hearts. Who can reach the position of general is not a madman? Who will easily give up his dignity?" Principal Zhou was full of doubt and shook his head repeatedly.
"It's different, Principal. You just saw the scars on Chen Jun's body. They are the highest medals for a soldier. This real and shocking honor is more convincing than the general's uniform he wears." Instructor Ma explained patiently, "Also, as you said, these people are not simple characters. They all know that Chen Jun can survive the cruel battlefield time and time again. He must be a man of action with decisive actions and super strength. Anyone who acts rashly will definitely not get any good results, but will only ask for trouble."
Instructor Ma then pulled Principal Zhou away and continued, "Don't worry about it. Don't let Chen Jun see us, or we'll be embarrassed again. Let's go, Principal. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It just so happens that I also need a role model, a big brother who can take the lead, to stimulate them and make them all active. If everyone lies down every day, that's not the result I want to see."
"What you said does make sense. Come on, I'd like to introduce you to someone. You're not a child anymore, and you just hang around all day. It's not right to be a bachelor." Principal Zhou said with a smile.
When Instructor Ma heard this, he immediately let go of the principal's hand and stared at him in amazement, wondering if he had heard it wrong. After a long while, he asked in surprise, "You want to introduce someone to me? Who? Principal, you know I like freedom, I don't like being bound, and I can't stay in one place for a long time. Is this okay?"
"My sister-in-law is an extremely kind woman, you'll know when you meet her. To be honest, I've looked at Chen Jun's profile, and he's already the father of two children. Looking at you again, I'm worried about you." Principal Zhou patted Instructor Ma on the shoulder.
Instructor Ma was really shocked. He had always been known as "Lone Wolf". When he had no money, he worked as an instructor to make money. When he had money, he would go out and play around, often losing contact. Unexpectedly, the principal, his old comrade-in-arms, suddenly wanted to introduce him to a girl. He couldn't help but wonder: Could she be divorced with children?
……
"What? Are you still not convinced?" Chen Jun saw that everyone had not left and was still standing beside him, staring at him. He couldn't help but get angry. He turned around and glanced at them coldly.
This glance made these people feel nervous, and they avoided Chen Jun's eyes and dared not look at him. They were afraid that Chen Jun would misunderstand and think that they wanted to provoke them. If Chen Jun caught the opportunity, it would be terrible. In fact, after seeing Chen Jun's shocking scars, they were greatly shocked. Although they could not be said to be completely convinced, at least they did not dare to have the idea of taking action again in the short term. But they were too embarrassed to leave directly, so they were in a stalemate.
"You are all well-known figures in various military regions. Why are you like ignorant children now? You can't beat others, but you still pretend to be stubborn. Is it fun to pretend in front of me?" Chen Jun narrowed his eyes and his face exuded a majestic aura. If he had a teaching stick in his hand at this moment, he would look like a spicy teacher.
These colonels surrounded Chen Jun, all with their heads down, no one said a word, and listened quietly to his lecture.
"Look at you guys. How can you be a senior military officer at all? I thought this was Causeway Bay. You might as well go to Temple Street. Coming to the National Defense University to study is such a waste of your talents." Chen Jun continued mercilessly.
Lan Guangzhi hesitated for several seconds, subconsciously took a defensive posture, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Chen Jun, you have scars on your body, you are better than us in single combat, and your test scores are better than ours. These are indeed worthy of recognition, but they are not that great..."
Chen Jun interrupted him coldly, his tone indifferent but unquestionable: "What do you think? Is it so difficult to admit that others are better than you? Especially you, Lan Guangzhi, right? I heard you and Zhao Shan vying to be the leader at the school gate. With your little ability, you still want to lead these people? Don't dream."
"Speaking of being a big brother, ask yourself, will every soldier you lead be willing to take bullets for you? Even if these people respect you as a big brother on the surface, how sincere are they in their hearts? You are right, test scores and fighting skills are nothing. Since you are not convinced, then in tomorrow's training, you will follow my pace. As long as you can beat me in any event, you don't need to bring people to threaten me, I will call you a big brother on the spot. Everyone here has this opportunity, whoever can beat me will be the big brother."
As soon as Chen Jun said this, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. They thought, no matter how good Chen Jun was, he couldn't possibly beat everyone in all events, right? If they really had a chance to beat him, then they would have a chance to turn things around. No one wanted to graduate with the reputation of being severely punished at the beginning of the school year.
"Okay, get out of here now. As a student, you should do what you are supposed to do. If you want to beat me, then you have to show some crazy energy. Get out of here..." Chen Jun waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Just get out of here..." Lan Guangzhi stiffened his neck and held his chest high. He felt that he had hope again, as if he saw the dawn of victory, so he led his men away in a heroic manner.
Chen Jun continued to read as if nothing had happened. He thought to himself that since he had come here to study, he must finish reading the book anyway. There is a wonderful law in reading: it is often difficult to get into the state at the beginning, and you feel uncomfortable all over, but once you get into it, you will slowly immerse yourself in it.
"Human beings actually have two systems, which everyone has. One is called the ancestral laziness system, which mainly controls the state of comfort and lying down... The other is called the careful thinking system, which controls self-discipline and progress. These two systems conflict in our hearts every day. Many people have achieved nothing in their lives because these two systems are constantly consuming each other. If these two systems can be coordinated and unified, and all forces can be used in one direction, one's potential can be stimulated one after another, just like unlocking the hidden skills of the system. Therefore, ordinary people who can block the ancestral laziness system, such as Forrest Gump, can achieve remarkable results..." While reading the book, Chen Jun combined his own experience and had a deeper thinking about the system.
……
On the other side, on this windy and moonless night, a faint atmosphere of solemnity permeated the senior officers' dormitory.
"Everyone, do you want to graduate from the National Defense University with the shame of being beaten up? If this gets out, it will become a stain on our lives!" Lan Guangzhi stood on a chair, looking down at the other colonels, trying to create a heroic spirit of drawing a sword. However, at this moment, he looked a little funny, with a dark cheek, a red nose, and bruises on the corners of his eyes. It looked like he had just been severely punished.
"It is undeniable that special forces do have certain advantages in training items, but Chen Jun said that it is all items. So, each of us has the opportunity to beat him and become the leader. But now we can't fight alone, we must unite. So, I propose that I become your training squad leader, and gather everyone's strength together to deal with Chen Jun together. What do you think?" Lan Guangzhi said passionately.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and an unidentified object (underwear) flew over and hit him on the forehead.
Then, Zhao Shan's voice rang out: "Fuck you, if you want to be the leader, just say so. You even call it a training monitor. It was you who took the lead in provoking that evil star, and you ended up getting beaten the worst. You still have the nerve to say you want to be the monitor? Get out of the way! I think everyone should just fight on their own. Whoever can defeat Chen Jun with his own ability will be the monitor, the big brother, and everyone else will have to accept him. We can draw up an agreement. Whoever beats Chen Jun will have to abide by the agreement."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Chen Jun did give them a huge sense of oppression, but in their opinion, this agreement seemed a bit childish, like a child playing house, and it was really unnecessary.
"Forget it. We are here to study, not to fight for the boss position. Don't act like the Temple Street thugs as Chen Jun said." A colonel said helplessly.
"Yes, why do I feel that what Chen Jun said just now is becoming a reality step by step under the leadership of you two? It's almost nine o'clock, and we still have training tomorrow. If we have the chance, it would be great if we can defeat Chen Jun. Being the big brother or not is actually not that important. If someone convinces everyone with his hard-core strength in the future, then what's wrong with us calling him big brother or boss?" Another colonel echoed.
In the end, everyone left in a bad mood. Lan Guangzhi and Zhao Shan were annoyed by the crowd, but there was nothing they could do. They had to leave it at that. Anyway, they had been studying here for more than a year, so there was still a long time to go. They thought, although Chen Jun was an excellent soldier with many medals, which one of them was not a famous figure with brilliant achievements in their respective fields?
Anyway, although they were shocked in their hearts, they were still unwilling to accept it deep down.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the playground of the National Defense University, making the national flag shine brightly, and the national flag fluttered violently in the wind.
Standing under the national flag, Instructor Ma, who had just met Principal Zhou's sister-in-law, had an indescribable blush on his face, and he looked much softer. He looked at all the students, and his voice was not as cold and stiff as before: "Very good, you look much better now than yesterday. Before class, let's have an appetizer, which is also the weighted cross-country race that you are all very familiar with. Go and get ready!"
The instructor's words, combined with yesterday's atmosphere, seemed to sound the charge for everyone.
Then, Instructor Ma was surprised to see that these colonels seemed to be energized and ran at the last minute, more enthusiastic than the young people.
"What happened? Could it be that these guys, like me, were also provoked?"
At this moment, a figure rushed out from the crowd and was the first to step onto the runway. This person was Chen Jun.
