If you don't study at Peking University, you will become a soldier, and I will become an office

Chapter 393 Colonel
War Department, Li Xiu had heard of it before.The combat situation often mentioned in the Anti-Japanese War was also called the "One Game".Later, after the military reform in [-], it gradually evolved into the Operations Department.

The operations department is responsible for team building at the front, gathering forces to charge into battle, and studying specific combat tasks.

However, Li Xiu was a little confused. Isn't Chief of Staff Wang from the General Staff Department?

What, are you going to the war department again?

The Staff Department and the Operations Department are not the same department.

The staff department is mainly responsible for investigating, planning, and directing operations.

The operations department is responsible for executing operations and researching simulated operations.

Chief of Staff Wang smiled and said: "No, it's not the operations department. You don't know anything about your own unit. The operations department of our unit is a second-level department under the headquarters. It is a division-level unit. However, this is also I don’t blame you, we are currently in the early stages of military reform, and various departments are in chaos.”

"Chief of Staff, I don't understand. Please clarify." Li Xiu said honestly.

Chief of Staff Wang looked at Li Xiu and said: "When an officer takes office, he must first vacate his position. But that is an ordinary officer."

"I know you, kid. You are brave, have ideas, are strong, and do things beautifully."

"More importantly, you have the most solid grassroots experience."

Not to mention the resume of leading troops at the company level, it is the resume of leading troops at the battalion level.Li Xiu also has it.

Moreover, it is different from others.The other battalion commanders only led troops, but Li Xiu directly built the battalion.

No one can compete with him in terms of experience in leading troops at the grassroots level.

"It's okay to follow the rules and arrange for you to join the army, but I feel it's too slow."

"You don't know, after training in the army, the arrangement given is to serve in a regiment, and then transfer to deputy brigade or deputy division."

"You will be promoted slowly after that. But in this way, the end point of a large part of promotions is to serve as the commander of a military division. Although the commander of a military division is also a division-level commander, it means that it is difficult to get promoted. You have to stay in this position for more than ten years. 20 years. This is the same for everyone."

"So, I want you to go to the operations department of our military region. It is the most directly affiliated unit."

"There is a saying that if you serve as the chief of the military region's operations department, there is no one who cannot be a general."

Li Xiu understood immediately.

This is the difference between central and local governments.

The prospects of the two are different.As a tactical-level commander, the division commander's next step is to be promoted to deputy corps commander or leader of a certain department.

The director of the military region's operations department has a wider space for promotion. He can be promoted to deputy commander of the military region, or other higher positions.The ceiling is different between the two.

If you go to the Operations Department now, you may not have much authority in the short term.

After all, Li Xiu was parachuted in. He was not the leader in his position and had very little power.

But it does not hinder the broad road ahead.

Moreover, Chief of Staff Wang also said that it was with him.Obviously, Chief of Staff Wang also has his own arrangements.

"Of course, you can also return to T Division. T Division is also the main division, and its future is not bad. As an experimental unit, T Division has already launched a comprehensive reform according to the synthetic battalion. But to put it bluntly, the current direction is to transform the division into a brigade. T Division Even the main division is expected to have this trend.”

In fact, the division commander of a main division like the T Division may not be worse than the chief of the operations department.But judging from the current situation and trends, transforming divisions into brigades is the general direction.

"No," Li Xiu said hurriedly: "I feel that the Operations Department is a good fit for me."

Judging from Chief of Staff Wang’s introduction, it is obvious that the first one is better.Moreover, we can also see the focus of Chief of Staff Wang.

What's more, this isn't about pushing Li Xiu into the ground, it's just a matter of direction.

"I also need to help with the military reform. We have a heavy task in the future." Chief of Staff Wang was ambitious. He smiled and then encouraged: "I may also have a change in my position. In a few years, I will be able to work freely. ”

"Congratulations, Chief of Staff." Li Xiu said quickly.

"Haha. I hope my joy is not in vain."

By the time we reach Maisui, it is actually difficult to go further.

The most important thing is not personal strength, but the flow of the times.

Chief of Staff Wang has only recently seen some hope after so many years.

"Chief of Staff, if I go to the Operations Department, where can I go?" "Deputy Director of the Military Region Operations Department."

Chief of Staff Wang said.

"what?"

Li Xiu was stunned and his breathing became rapid.

"Deputy Minister? Chief of Staff, did I hear you correctly?"

Go to the Department of Operations as deputy minister!
To be honest, Li Xiu had never thought of this before, nor did he dare to think of it.

Before, he thought that the best he could do was become a director.

However, Chief of Staff Wang actually directly appointed him as Deputy Minister of Operations.

Logically speaking, the deputy minister is a deputy division-level colonel.

He is now, he is still a lieutenant colonel. Although the promotion is immediate, even if he is promoted, he is still a colonel.

Is this directly the deputy department?

"Are you confident?" Chief of Staff Wang asked.

"Of course there is."

Li Xiu didn't hesitate.

At this time, it was impossible to hesitate for even a second.

He originally thought that he would have to endure it for another five or six years.

But to be honest now, Li Xiu would hesitate even if he formed a combined brigade to summon him.

After all, the future is so bright right now.

A normal military academy student will be ranked as a second lieutenant when he graduates from college. He will be promoted to the first rank in four years. If all goes well, he will be promoted to Maosui around the age of 51.

It takes 28 years at the fastest to grow from a second lieutenant to a wheat ear.

But now he was walking most of the way at almost twice the speed.

And, follow this plan that has already paved the way.

If everything goes well, he is very likely to obtain the rank of Maisui before the age of 40.

"Don't be so arrogant. If you can't convince the crowd, you may not be able to secure your seat."

This is inevitable.

Li Xiu is going to be the deputy minister. I don’t know how many people are jealous of this position.

If he can be saved, even Chief of Staff Wang is not qualified.

It is a more core level handwriting.

"Yes. I will definitely work hard." Li Xiu immediately saluted and said seriously: "Thank you, leaders, for your love."

"You are reliable in your work, but I won't believe you if you don't make some news. I know you have your own way of leading soldiers, and you have your own ideas and methods, but I have to remind you that leading soldiers is different from being an officer. Leading soldiers is up to you. Ability, as an officer, you need to learn more things. Although you are very capable and your contributions are obvious to all, you must understand that many people have been eyeing your position for seven or eight years. There are many twists and turns in it. Everyone , They are both comrades-in-arms and also have a competitive relationship," Chief of Staff Wang said.

If Li Xiu was directly parachuted in to become the leader of a certain regiment, he would have the right to speak and be able to do his own things.But this has to go to the Operations Department, and if you don’t have a sharp eye, you’ll be in trouble.

Li Xiu really wouldn't be in trouble, but it was still possible to isolate Li Xiu and engage in a treacherous behavior.

Not everyone can stand firm.

"Take this, it's just the right replacement."

Afterwards, Chief of Staff Wang directly took out a pair of colonels and gave them to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu took the military title and placed it on his chest.
