Chapter 793: Promoted to Colonel, Ge Zhiyong is envious

"Comrade Qin Feng has been officially promoted to the position of Chief of Staff of the 33rd Combined Brigade, with the rank of Colonel and the benefits of a full regimental commander!"

In the auditorium, after Wei Shanhe read out Qin Feng's appointment, there was thunderous applause.

The vast majority of the backbone members of the brigade stood up and applauded Qin Feng.

On the podium, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile as he watched the lieutenant colonel rank on his shoulder being replaced with the rank of colonel with two bars and three stars.

Because he is one step closer to that goal!

"Thank you, chief."

"You're welcome."

Qin Feng saluted Wei Shanhe.

Wei Shanhe saluted. Although there was congratulations in his eyes, there was still a bit of regret in his heart.

Ever since the exercise ended, he felt that some of the people around him were not pleasing to the eye when he returned to the office.

Although those subordinates did not make any mistakes and did not bring him any bad luck, he just had an indescribable feeling.

Later, Wei Shanhe began to appreciate the pleasure. Working with Qin Feng in the exercise was so smooth and comfortable. This guy always thought ahead of him and helped him solve problems.

Looking at the other people around me, I always feel that they are far inferior to Xiao Qin.

To put it simply, it is the bran that is difficult to swallow after you have eaten the fine noodles.

Wei Shanhe really wanted Qin Feng to develop in the army instead of staying in the brigade.

Although this may make his old friend Lu Chong unhappy, it is indeed better for Qin Feng's future development.

The process from brigade to army is like transferring from city to province. Even if the positions are the same, the scope of power and the things involved are much greater than before, but Qin Feng refused.

However, this also shows that Qin Feng is a young man who values ​​friendship.

The Steel Knife Combined Battalion is his roots and where he grew up.

Once you enter the army to develop, you will be completely disconnected from the Steel Knife Combined Battalion.

Perhaps it was because of this that he was unwilling to join the military so early.

But fortunately, Qin Feng is still Wei Shanhe's soldier. When he is free, he can often call him for tea to let him familiarize himself with the environment in advance and lay the foundation for the future.

The commendation meeting continued, and Wei Shanhe personally commended those who had outstanding performance in the recent exercises.

A small number of people were promoted to officers because of their outstanding performance.

Among them is Qi Meng.

He had always been a non-commissioned officer, and this time he finally got his wish and was promoted to lieutenant as an exception.

The one who changed into a military rank made him cry and his nose kept running.

In addition, he also obtained a place to study at the military academy. There were several other people going there in the same batch, one of whom was Wu Jin.

Before getting married, Wu Jin lied to his girlfriend's family and told them that he was a company commander in the army and was now working towards that goal step by step.

In general, soldiers who made outstanding contributions basically received rewards. Qin Feng won the first-class merit, Li Jiasheng and Yuan Feng won the second-class merit, but more received the third-class merit and commendations.

Although not everyone can get the reward, the glory and joy belong to every soldier in the brigade.

After the commendation meeting ended, Qin Feng came outside after most people had left.

At the door, two resentful figures were waiting for him.

One is Ge Zhiyong and the other is Guo Haitao.

The two of them looked like abandoned and resentful women.

Qin Feng asked: "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Ge Zhiyong looked at his rank of major, then at his rank of colonel, and said sadly, "I still vaguely remember how naive and inexperienced you were back then, needing care and protection."

"In the blink of an eye, even I have to crane my neck to look at you. Are you climbing up a little too fast?"

Guo Haitao also had a look of resentment on his face: "Ge Zhiyong and I were both captains for several years. We were promoted to majors two years ago, which was pretty fast. Compared to you, we are nothing."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "One of you is capable and talented, and your father is the deputy commander. You have a good family background and a promising future."

"One is clearly a political officer, but his ability to lead troops in battle is not weak at all, and he can even serve as a staff officer at critical moments."

"As long as you want to go up, no one can stop you, but if you go up, you have to leave here. Are you willing to do that?"

Qin Feng exposed the two of them in one go, making them feel a little embarrassed.

That’s right, one of these two people should be able to move up.

Over the years, Qin Feng has made many contributions, all of which were attributed to the Steel Knife Combined Battalion.

For example, the previous Asia-Pacific joint exercises and the repeated victories on the training grounds are all collective honors.

As the commanders of the troops, Ge Zhiyong and the other two should have been lieutenant colonels by now, but they were still stuck there.

It's like a hen wandering outside, about to lay an egg but holding back until it returns to the nest.

Simply put, they, like me, are reluctant to leave this place and the people here.

Qin Feng's ability to join the combined battalion as chief of staff is a special case. Since it is a special case, it certainly cannot be replicated.

Therefore, in order to stay in this place for a while longer, the two of them have been trying their best to suppress their achievements so as to prevent being promoted to the brigade or being directly transferred to other places.

That’s right, officers in the army who are too capable will be transferred to other places.

Just like the 746th Reinforced Regiment that Ge Hongbin mentioned to him before, its essential meaning is the hope to blossom in many places.

The Steel Knife Combined Battalion is a golden signboard of the brigade, and the 33rd Combined Brigade is a signboard of the Southeast Theater Command. Do you think the leaders above want to create more such excellent troops?

It is for this reason that they both want to stay here as long as possible, because the longer they stay, the better.

As for the rank of lieutenant colonel or major, they originally had some expectations.

But seeing that Qin Feng is rising like a rocket, he might be promoted to colonel next year or the year after.

As a result, they no longer have much hope or expectation for military ranks and positions.

Because when you have someone around you who is too good and has all the skills, you suddenly feel like a piece of shit.

Seeing Ge Zhiyong and Guo Haitao smiling awkwardly, Qin Feng also found it funny, because they were essentially the same kind of people, otherwise they would not be able to play together.

"Let's go, let's go see Old Qiu off together."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. He's going to be transferred, right?"

"The brigade held a simple farewell party at noon. I'll have a drink with him later."

"Yeah, let's go."

The three of them walked towards the brigade staff headquarters together. Before they entered, they saw a lot of people standing inside.

In addition to a group of staff officers, Lu Chong, Sun Quan and others were also here.

In front of the table, Qiu Guohai was packing up his things silently, looking lonely.

It's like a veteran employee who has worked diligently for the company for decades being forcibly laid off...
