Chapter 362: Xiao Wanjun Is Helpless, Xia Qiange Goes Home

Chapter 362 Xiao Wanjun is powerless

The rosewood coffee table was painted deep red.

The snow-white tea cup, with the green tea inside, caught the eye and was very eye-catching.

At this moment, the hope that Xia Zhenjun originally felt suddenly became dazzling.

Shen Wanli didn't speak, just took a sip of water from his teacup and waited quietly.

Xia Zhenjun, on the other hand, was sitting motionless on the sofa, staring at the coffee table in a daze.

As a senior colonel-level officer in Nanlu, and a relatively young senior colonel officer, he wanted to go further now, but he never thought it would be so difficult. Even after finding old Li Chang, Shen Wanli, who is now a lieutenant general, There is still no way.

To be honest, he himself felt ugly, too useless, and too helpless.

There were too many people competing with him for that position, and everyone was excellent and desperately wanted to make further progress. What Xia Zhenjun didn't expect was that Shen Wanli was helpless.

Only now did Xia Zhenjun realize that he had no way out. His only option seemed to be to find another way to give up his current position in Nanlu and go to Nanlu. The Air Force looks for opportunities.

This is undoubtedly a bit helpless for him.

He has been in the position of senior colonel for seven or eight years since he was a soldier. He finally waited for such an opportunity, hoping to go further and do something big, but he never thought that now he would not even be able to survive even the most basic We can't get any space, so we have to find other ways.

This was not the most important thing. What was important was that after Shen Wanli's words, he realized that taking the Air Force route was even more difficult than competing with others for the position on the Nanlu side.

From the Army to the Air Force, the span is too big. Without the appreciation of the truly powerful military leaders, such a big leap would not have been possible.

Xia Zhenjun felt a little aggrieved by this incident.

Before he came to Shen Wanli, he had already thought that this trip might not have any good results. However, after hearing these words from Shen Wanli's mouth, his mood became extremely gloomy for a moment.

Since he entered the army, he has basically been going smoothly. He has reached a position where he can always rely on his own efforts and abilities, and with the help of leaders who appreciate him, step by step he has reached where he is today. He has never been like this before. Helpless.

Even though he faced more opponents when he was promoted to senior colonel, he still took that step.

However, today, Xia Zhenjun discovered that he had no way out now. His only option was to give up and go further and give up on his long-held dream. This was undoubtedly a very difficult thing for him. It was also a difficult decision and unbearable.

Shen Wanli did not raise his head, but he could feel the change in Xia Zhenjun's mood. He raised his head and said in a solemn tone: "There is no way to go further. Is it possible that you can't contribute to the alliance? When did you become an official fan of Zhenzhenjun?" ?What about your previous opinions? Didn’t you say that even if you are just a small soldier, you can still give everything you have for this land? "

"Why, now that you have become a senior colonel, you have completely forgotten all those oaths you made back then?"

"If you go one step further, don't you know how difficult it is? Even if there are many vacant positions, and even if there are no restrictions, it is still difficult for an officer at the level of a grand commander to go a step further and become a major general or a general. An extremely difficult thing.”

"Not to mention, there are so many people competing with you on the same stage now."

"You are excellent, I have always thought so, but when you reach this position, which one is not outstanding? Which one has not made great contributions to the alliance? Which one does not want to make progress? You, Xia Zhenjun, only want to make progress? They don't?"

Shen Wanli spoke like a machine gun, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became. The Xia Zhenjun he remembered was not like this, but a very free and easy person. Unexpectedly, he was now a bit over the top, staring at that position and not letting go.

Especially when he saw Xia Zhenjun with his head lowered and his face pale, he became even more angry and shouted: "If you don't understand, then go back and sit in the room and think about it."

Is it really that important to go one step further?”

Xia Zhenjun's expression changed, and his heart gradually sank. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Elder S had let him come.

Indeed, it was me who was confused.

Shen Wanli was even more angry when he looked at Xia Zhenjun. He talked for a long time, but Xia Zhenjun didn't even fart, which made him couldn't help but clench his fists, "When competing for that position, the first thing you have to think about is It’s about facing reality and positioning yourself..."

"If you can't even correct your position, how can you go further?"

Xia Zhenjun just looked up at this time and opened his mouth, "Sir, I... I actually don't want to go further. I have been used to it for so many years, and I didn't have any hope anymore, but now I see hope, even if It's just a glimmer of hope, and I want to fight for it.

"Official fans?"

Xia Zhenjun shook his head and said: "Sir, you know me. I really don't care about this. The reason why I want to go further is not only to realize my dream, but more importantly, to go further, for me, it is not only It’s a change in rank, and it’s also the alliance’s recognition of me, Zheng Zhengjun.”

"For me, it is a great honor."

Hearing this, most of the anger in Shen Wanli's heart was extinguished in an instant. He did not speak, but pondered for a while. After a long time, Xia Zhenjun stopped talking. At this time, he sighed and said: "Nanlu In fact, the staff here have almost left, and you basically have no chance. Now, you can only try your luck in the Air Force. Over in Nankong, although Minister Xiao and I are familiar with each other, it involves the promotion of a senior colonel. To be honest, don't hold out any hope, even if I tell you, there is a high probability that it is not possible."

Xia Zhenjun raised his head and looked at Shen Wanli with some surprise. Then he reacted: "Thank you, Fifth Chief!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I just said it. Even if I say it, there is probably no hope." Shen Wanli couldn't help but said.

At this moment, Xia Zhenjun looked away and said with a smile: "Old S, you are right. No matter where you are, it is all for the alliance. I know that it is basically impossible to go to the Air Force, so Old S There is no need to go to Minister Xiao for me, I have already figured it out."

Shen Wanli nodded, "As long as you figure it out."

"You wait first......"

After Shen Wanli finished speaking, he took out an old machine equipped by the army, fiddled with it for a while, and then put it to his ear with Xia Zhenjun looking confused.

After a while, I heard Shen Wanli's laughing voice: "Minister Xiao, I'm Shen Wanli, sorry to bother you."

"Old Shen, why do you have time to call me at this time?" Xiao Wanjun was also a little surprised.

He is familiar with Shen Wanli. After all, he is also a lieutenant general. It is impossible not to be familiar with him. However, Shen Wanli has always been in the army. There is not much communication between the two parties. At most, they have met a few times in the Eastern God Capital. He did not expect that Shen Wanli would be here at this time. Wan Li would actually call him.

Shen Wanli laughed and said, "I'm retired and have nothing to do at home. No, I have something I want to ask Minister Xiao about."

"Say it." Although Xiao Wanjun was surprised, he still responded with a smile.

Shen Wanli thought for a moment and said, "In front of Minister Xiao, I won't beat around the bush."

"There is a major general promotion position here in Nanlu. I think Minister Xiao must have heard about it."

Xiao Wanjun nodded and said: "Well, I heard that the competition is very fierce. Why did Lao Shen suddenly mention this?"

A wry smile appeared on Shen Wanli's face: "What else? I have an old subordinate, Xia Zhenjun, a senior colonel. I guess Minister Xiao has never heard of his name. He also wants to compete for that position."

"This is a good thing!" Xiao Wanjun said quickly.

Shen Wanli said quickly: "I also know it is a good thing, but the competition is too fierce. The candidate for that position has basically been determined. He is four or five years younger than Zhong Zhenjun. My old subordinate has no chance. No, I'm thinking that there are still many places in the Air Force, so I plan to ask Minister Xiao, if Xia Zhenjun is allowed to join the Air Force as a senior colonel, is there any possibility of being promoted to a military rank later?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wanjun suddenly realized.

Now, he understood why Shen Wanli came to find him.

However, the promotion of a senior colonel is no small matter.

After thinking about it, Xiao Wanjun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Old Shen, I won't say whether it's okay or not. One thing you know is that there are indeed positions for major generals in the Air Force, and there are still many left, but when school-level officers arrive, The promotion of officers to the rank of general is not something I can decide on my own. Even if I can do it from Misora, I still have to report the matter to the Commander-in-Chief..."

After a pause, Xiao Wanjun continued: "The most important thing is that from the Army to the Air Force, the span is too big. Even if it is just a level adjustment, the commander-in-chief must agree.

Xiao Wanjun was actually a little helpless.

Things like this are difficult to handle.

Although he and Shen Wanli are not comrades-in-arms, they are familiar with each other. It is obviously not possible to refuse directly, but he cannot agree to this alone.

This is no small matter.

Whether it is a level transfer from the Army to the Air Force or a promotion in military rank, it is not a trivial matter, nor can it be decided by him alone.

It was impossible for him to go to Zong Kong to do work for someone he didn't know, even if Shen Wanli was the one pulling the strings.

When Shen Wanli heard this, he actually understood in his heart.

This matter was not that Xiao Wanjun didn't want to help, but that it was too complicated.

Moreover, he also knew that this matter was not decided by Xiao Wanjun alone. He, Shen Fangli, did not even have the face to ask Xiao Wanjun to go to the headquarters to do work for Xia Zhenjun.

Regardless of the military rank gap between the two, they are not too big, one is a general and the other is a lieutenant general.

But Lieutenant General Shen Wanli, whose power was only average, could not be compared with a feudal official like Xiao Wanjun. In terms of power and status, the gap was as big as heaven and earth.

There's no way to compare it.

Shen Wanli sighed, thanked Xiao Wanjun, and then the two hung up the phone.

At this moment, Xia Zhenjun, who was sitting on the sofa opposite Shen Wanli, couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Shen Wanli mention the three words "Minister Xiao". He looked at the elder S in surprise and couldn't imagine it. , Shen Wanli actually called Minister Xiao from Nankong personally for him.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Zhenjun felt a little expectant in his heart.

After all, compared with the army, the air force is the main combat force in today's wars.

The army, unless it lands, can rarely play a big role in modern warfare.

If he could join the Air Force 753 Army, he would naturally dream of it.

"Old man,

Seeing Shen Wanli hang up the phone, Xia Zhenjun's breathing stagnated and he looked at Shen Wanli nervously.

Facing Xia Zhenjun, who looked hopeful and even excited, Shen Wanli looked complicated. He shook his head slightly at the next moment: "Zhenjun, you also know that the span from the army to the air force is too big. This kind of thing requires more than just Minister Xiao agrees here, but Commander Kong has to agree, not to mention the promotion of military rank..."

Shen Wanli hadn't finished speaking, but Xia Zhenjun had already heard the meaning of Shen Wanli's words. He sat blankly on the sofa for a long time before a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.

Even though he had already guessed that the possibility was unlikely, when he really knew the result, Xia Zhenjun realized that he still couldn't accept it.

Shen Wanli glanced at Xia Zhenjun. He could understand the pain in Xia Zhenjun's heart. He had come here in the same way back then, and had been silent in the position of senior colonel for a long time. He was promoted later when he had an opportunity.

He also knew that if Xia Zhenjun missed this opportunity, he might not be promoted next time and would have to retire at his current position.

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became depressing.

At this moment, Xia Zhenjun realized that he had been too smooth in the past. He always thought that he had great talents and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted again.

And this time, he also tasted the feeling of being stuck in a quagmire.

It is too difficult to go from school level to general level.

It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven!

Xia Zhenjun did not stay with Shen Wanli for long. He was ready to go back after lunch. Before leaving, Shen Wanli sent Xia Zhenjun out. He raised his hand and patted Xia Zhenjun on the shoulder with encouragement on his face: "Don't think too much, take advantage of the opportunity." I will take this period of time to take a good rest. If I win my life, I will lose my luck. Even if I am not in a higher position, I can still protect my family and my country."

Xia Zhenjun nodded heavily: "I know."

Afterwards, Xia Zhenjun drove away.

Seeing the car gradually disappearing, Shen Wanli couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, and then turned back and walked into the house.

At this point, the promotion of officers at Xia Zhenjun's level was no longer something he could influence alone.

It still needs more and more help.

As for Xia Zhenjun, after he left Shen Wanli's home, his face returned to a gloomy look. Less than two kilometers after he drove out, he took out his cell phone and found that there were unread messages on it.

Xia Zhenjun opened it and took a look, sighing in his heart, is that girl Qiange back?

With a murmur in his heart, Xia Zhenjun looked at the route and went straight to the airport. .
