Special Forces: At the beginning, An Ran pulled him to get his certificate.

Chapter 1288: Troop Construction, You Are the King

The sun shines through the mottled leaves and casts golden spots on the campus paths of the National Defense University. Today is a day of great significance for a group of graduating colonels. They will receive the rank-awarding ceremony in the auditorium, which is a recognition of their many years of military career and the starting point of a new journey.

"Why don't you go to the graduation ceremony together?" Chen Jun's voice interrupted the conversation, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the leader in surprise. During the two years of advanced training, Chen Jun became a well-deserved leader in everyone's heart with his outstanding ability and unique personality charm.

For them, today is undoubtedly the most special and glorious moment in the past two years. The awarding ceremony carries their dreams and dedication and is worth remembering for a lifetime.

Everyone was confused and didn't understand why Chen Jun was absent from this important occasion. Unexpectedly, Chen Jun just smiled and shook his head, his eyes showing calmness and determination: "We are different." He paused slightly and continued, "I have already been awarded, so naturally I don't need to attend the awarding ceremony or the graduation ceremony. You guys go, someone is waiting for me."

Chen Jun smiled slightly, with a hint of carefreeness in his smile. Under the gaze of everyone who were filled with regret and reluctance, he slowly left with steady steps.

It was not until this time that everyone woke up from their dream and suddenly remembered that Chen Jun had already become a lieutenant general.

He came to participate in the advanced training just to go through the formalities.

"Pa..." Lan Guangzhi suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard, his face full of regret: "Hey, two years ago, I still doubted the boss's ability. Now think about it, it was really stupid. Not to mention that he is a genuine lieutenant general, even if he becomes a general now, I will be convinced. All of us, because of his support, from military quality to command theory, all aspects have improved by more than one level."

"Everyone, salute the boss and see him off." Someone in the crowd shouted.

Swish, swish, swish... This group of future generals quickly formed a line and stood neatly on the road, their postures as straight as pine trees. They looked at Chen Jun's receding back with firm eyes and saluted vigorously in unison.

Their eyes were filled with deep admiration, worship and reluctance to part with Chen Jun.

What they bid farewell to is not only the big brother they followed for two years, but also the younger brother's years full of sweat, growth and harvest. In the past two years, under the leadership of Chen Jun, they went from being independent to being united, from having different views on the military to forming a unified concept. These days are like budding seeds, taking root in their hearts and growing into towering trees. The marks left behind will be remembered by them for a lifetime.

……

Chen Jun came all the way to the principal's office. He gently pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered, he was stunned when he saw Long Shuai standing in front of him.

This commander-in-chief of the three armies has a very high prestige in the army, and every decision he makes affects the direction of the Yan State army.

He had eaten and slept with Chen Jun for three days, and those three days of getting along left a very deep impression on Chen Jun. Unexpectedly, at this important moment of his graduation, Long Shuai actually came in person. Well, there was also Mr. Ye from the military.

Mr. Ye is also a legendary figure in the army. His military philosophy and strategic vision have always been admired by everyone. However, the principal Zhou Weiguo is nowhere to be seen. It seems that he has borrowed his office. Even if Zhou Weiguo is here, compared with these two military giants, he is indeed just a small figure.

The principal went to preside over the graduation ceremony in a dejected manner. The huge office was decorated simply and solemnly. Under the small national flag hanging, the two senior leaders looked up and down at Chen Jun, whom they had not seen for two years, with a smile on their faces.

"Well, Ghost, I haven't seen you for two years. You are doing well." Long Shuai raised his hand and greeted Chen Jun. He was smiling, which was very different from his usual majestic appearance in the army. At this moment, his eyes were kind and amiable, as if an elder saw a younger person whom he had not seen for a long time. The same was true for Ye Lao. This hawkish general who was always majestic and sharp-eyed was also smiling at Chen Jun with admiration in his eyes. There was an obvious emotion in their eyes, which was the appreciation of the elders for the younger generation and the satisfaction of the grandfather for his grandson.

Chen Jun reacted quickly, saluted them, stood tall, and said in a loud voice: "Hello, leaders. I am graduate Chen Jun. I am here to report. Please give me your instructions."

"Don't be so nervous. I'm not your principal Zhou Weiguo." Long Shuai waved his hand with a gentle smile on his face and said to Chen Jun, "Come here and sit next to me."

Seeing this, Chen Jun did not move. He still stood at the door, his posture as straight as a pine tree. There was a hint of restraint in his eyes. The study and experience in the past two years made him more calm and introverted, no longer the free and easy self he used to be.

Seeing this, Mr. Ye couldn't help but laugh and said, "This kid seems to have become a good student after studying. He doesn't dare to go beyond half a step. However, his momentum has become much calmer. Not bad, not bad. Now Ghost is more like a great general."

"General..." Chen Jun was slightly startled, and quickly said, "Commander, just say whatever you want to say. I'm listening." In the past, he and Long Shuai slept on the same bed, and they were very comfortable with each other. But after two years of study, he felt that his behavior was a bit reckless, and now he was not used to such a close way of getting along. If it were in the past, he would definitely sit next to him without hesitation, but now, it felt like a student who had made a mistake. Faced with the principal's invitation to sit over, he was full of trepidation. How could he dare?

Marshal Long did not insist on him coming over, but continued with a smile: "Chen Jun, I have seen your performance, it is really good. You are not only studying alone, but also leading a group of colonels to make progress together. The graduation results of these senior officers this year broke the records of previous years, and they performed extremely well in all aspects."

"Not only that, I have carefully studied their graduation theses, and found that they have made significant improvements in terms of structure, tactical level, strategic thinking, etc. compared to previous years. In fact, the military theses written by several people are of extremely high standards and can be used as models for promotion in the military. In this regard, your contribution is much higher than that of Chief Instructor Ma Feng. This is the wolf pack effect. It is indeed right to let you come for further study."

"In the past two years, you have not only made a leap in thinking, but also possessed the talent of a senior general. You can influence others and drive the entire team to grow together. This is a very rare quality." Marshal Long's praise for Chen Jun was like a torrent of water, endless, making Chen Jun a little embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly, a blush on his cheeks.

"Long Shuai, these are the results of their own efforts and have little to do with me." Chen Jun said modestly. He knew very well that the progress of the team was inseparable from everyone's contribution and was unwilling to take all the credit on himself.

"Okay, kid, stop being so modest. I know what you did in school better than your principal. At first, they thought you were a fake lieutenant general, just as I guessed, and attacked you directly, haha... Later, under your leadership, these people were completely convinced by you. Only by following you, a ghost, can they achieve a qualitative leap in physical fitness and military wisdom. This is the saying that people are worthy of being around. Apart from anything else, just looking at their graduation photos, you can see that they are full of energy and muscular, no different from young men. This is all because of your good leadership."

"In view of your outstanding performance in school, there is an important task that can be assigned to you." Long Shuai's eyes suddenly became serious, revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Hearing this, Chen Jun suddenly changed from an embarrassed state to a spirited one. He immediately straightened up and said with a firm look: "Chief, please give me your instructions." His heart was full of expectations, eager to show his value in the new task.

"This mission is related to the construction of the entire army, and you need to take the lead." Long Shuai's voice was steady and powerful, and every word seemed to hit Chen Jun's heart like a heavy hammer.

Chen Jun was surprised after hearing this. He originally thought it would be a passionate challenge related to combat and mission execution, but he didn't expect it to be a construction task for the entire unit. He had been lonely for a long time and had always wanted to return to the hacker base to lead his brothers to charge into battle on the battlefield and kill the enemy to serve the country. But now, what he was waiting for was such a task. Wouldn't this ask him to be a teacher like Ma Feng, teaching a group of students every day? Thinking of this, Chen Jun felt a little uneasy and frowned slightly.

Seeing him like this, Long Shuai didn't immediately point out the details of the task, but instead praised him again.

"Chen Jun, during the two years you have been studying, I have read your growth experience in detail. I can only describe you as a genius who has made rapid progress." Long Shuai's eyes were full of amazement and admiration. "You rose from the frontier defense, became a ghost, and then founded the hacker base. In just one year, you turned an unknown special operations team into a lifelong professional force, and turned all the officers and soldiers of the hacker base into the famous ghost army with its own number. Such achievements are a miracle in the military history of Yan State. I dare not say whether there will be a second person, but there is definitely no ancient person who can achieve the level you have."

"You have created a miracle, a miracle that I can't even imagine. Your life seems to be on a cheat code. Every decision and every action you make shows extraordinary wisdom and courage. If you hadn't been standing in front of me alive, with flesh and blood, I would have thought you were an old monster who had traveled through time." Long Shuai said half-jokingly, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Chen Jun listened and broke out in a cold sweat. He stood there, not daring to move.

He secretly groaned in his heart, thinking that he really was a time traveler, and he had been very low-key in this life of cheating. He usually married and had children, leading an ordinary and happy life. He was afraid that one day he would be discovered and caught as a test subject. Unexpectedly, no one came to catch him, but Long Shuai saw that he was extraordinary. His heartbeat quickened involuntarily, but he tried to keep calm on his face.

"In the entire Yan Country, no one can achieve the results you have achieved, including me. Even if you give me such resources, I still can't do it. I want to break your head open to see what's inside, hahaha..." Long Shuai made a joke, but it made Chen Jun's mouth twitch wildly. If he continued like this, that would be terrible... Chen Jun quickly interrupted him with an awkward smile on his face, and said, "Commander, just tell me the mission directly. Actually, I'm not as good as you think. The current hacker base is in name only and can't even be considered a complete division. I still have a lot to learn from you..."

"You don't need to be modest, you have already achieved the ultimate as a soldier. However, an excellent base like the hacker base should not only be owned by the army. As you know, we also have the air force and the navy in Yan country. They are equally important in the national defense system..." Long Shuai paused for a moment and looked closely at Chen Jun's eyes with seriousness and expectation. "I came to you because I hope you can go to the navy and the air force and create a hacker base on their territory to make it bigger and stronger. Do you have the confidence to do so?"

Hearing Long Shuai's real goal, Chen Jun was immediately in trouble. In the past, the commanders of the navy and the air force did look for him, but they were just to carry out some project cooperation, and he went to act as an instructor to teach their soldiers some experience and skills. Now according to Long Shuai's intention, is it appropriate to build a hacker base directly on someone else's territory? Doesn't this feel like "living in Wang's house and eating at Li's house", undermining the power of the two commanders? This may not only cause internal conflicts, but also does not conform to his usual low-key and cautious style of doing things. How can this be done? He really doesn't dare...

Chen Jun looked embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Chief, actually I can agree to other things you ask for, but I can't accept something like this that requires me to take over your responsibility!" His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and worry, and he hoped that Long Shuai could understand his concerns.

"What do you mean, you're embarrassed, aren't you?" Long Shuai put away his smile, his face became serious, his eyes revealed a hint of majesty, "You read books, and you learned the rules? Also, didn't the commanders of the Navy and Air Force want to cooperate with you a long time ago? They gave you military funds, built a house for you, and gave you the false title of the chief instructor of the three armed forces. Isn't it just to cooperate with you? How about it, you have been hiding in the military academy for two years, have you forgotten it?"

Chen Jun smiled bitterly and explained quickly, "Commander, it's different. In the past, I could serve as their chief instructor and give them some pointers. There was no problem with communication. However, if I build a hacker base directly on their territory, wouldn't that be stealing their territory? They don't want that, do they? I'm worried that this will cause some unnecessary conflicts and problems, which is not conducive to unity and cooperation."

"What do you mean by their territory, Chen Jun? If you think like that, you have a low vision. Whether it's the navy or the air force, they are all the army of Yan country and an important part of the national defense system, not the private property of any commander. Therefore, if you go to their territory to create a hacker base, it is also a national hacker base, which is to enhance the military strength of the entire country. I can guarantee you that whoever dares to do something behind your back and trip you up, I will make him pack up and leave tomorrow. I will never allow anyone to disrupt this plan."

Elder Ye came over, patted Chen Jun on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Chen Jun, listen to Marshal Long, and don't worry about anything. 'Scholars are full of ambition, inspiring words, and despise the marquis of the past'. Young people should have lofty ambitions and a broad vision. Apart from other things, when you first came here, didn't others also obey you? What happened? Didn't you, the dragon, subdue all the local snakes? Marshal Long and I originally thought that it would take you half a year to deal with them, but in just three days, no one had any objections. Don't underestimate yourself, Chen Jun, in my heart, you are the king who will carry on the past and forge ahead."

Mr. Ye’s praise was even more outrageous than Long Shuai’s!
