Chapter 1160 The Undefeated God of Military Academy

"Unfortunately, the application materials have been rejected."

"Forehead......."

Qin Feng suddenly felt somewhat disappointed.

He thought that once the report was approved, they would soon be able to move to a new level.

Seeing Qin Feng finally reveal a relatively genuine change in emotion, Ge Hongbin smiled.

"You seem a little disappointed?"

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. From the moment I enlisted, I have been working hard toward this goal."

Qin Feng's answer was very frank, and there was nothing to hide about it.

Every officer's ultimate dream is to become a general, but very few actually achieve it.

Because far too many people get stuck at this step.

Lei Kaiwen, the captain of the Lei Bao Squadron, is a senior colonel.

Man Xiongzhi, a professional blue team member, is also a senior colonel.

Even Lü Chong, who had participated in the defense of southern Xinjiang and experienced the changes in the military over the years, also held the rank of senior colonel.

Is it that they don't want to be promoted?

No, it's because this step is far, far more difficult than any previous step.

Ge Hongbin looked at him seriously: "The headquarters submits applications to the headquarters every year, but they are usually rejected, so don't have any thoughts or feelings about it."

"The military has extremely strict selection criteria for generals. Although your performance and achievements are already outstanding, you still need to be observed."

"Putting everything else aside, Lü Chong has been stuck at this stage for many years. We have submitted his report several times, but it has been rejected each time."

"He will reach the age of promotion in the next year or the year after. If he cannot be promoted to major general by then, he will have to transfer to civilian work."

"Of course, Lei Bao and Lei Kevin are younger; he can work for a few more years without any problem..."

Competition within the military has always been extremely fierce.

This is especially true for someone in Qin Feng's position.

He could hear the hidden meaning in Ge Hongbin's words.

Lei Kaiwen, Lü Chong, and other senior colonels from the same army group—each of them was a decorated and hard-working individual.

However, the number of places for promotion to general is very limited. If Qin Feng is selected, it means that the other people's escape route will be cut off.

Although such a system is cruel, it is necessary.

The commander at the general level is the true core of the army.

Therefore, headquarters must be extremely cautious in this matter.

Ge Hongbin continued, "Of course, your advantage is also the most obvious; you are much younger than any of them."

"Given your current work performance and the speed at which you've made contributions, a promotion before the age of thirty is practically a certainty."

"So I'm telling you all this so you won't be impatient and can calm down. Don't be discouraged because you didn't pass this time; what if you pass the next time you apply?"

Qin Feng nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood and was determined to work harder and achieve better results.

He stood out among many senior colonels and officers, striving to achieve that life's achievement as soon as possible.

Ge Hongbin said some words of encouragement, and then prepared to leave first.

But before getting on the bus, he spoke seriously and earnestly, like an elder.

"Finally, what Principal Wang and the others said in the office earlier was not a joke, but a serious matter."

"To keep you here, they have really gone all out this time, offering you treatment that is no less than that of any top-notch professor in the field of science and technology and military industry."

"This is my thinking, and you don't have to completely reject it. Everyone needs to leave themselves a way out. It's true that the Southwest is your home, but if there are better opportunities, we won't stand in your way."

"After all, you've done enough, and you've done more than enough..."

Ge Hongbin got into his car and left. Watching the car slowly disappear into the distance, Qin Feng felt a deep respect for this old man who loved weightlifting and drinking coffee.

The reason these words were not spoken in the meeting room, but rather closer to boarding the car, is that...

It's telling him that work and life need to be kept separate.

Work hard when you're ready to strive, and when it's time to enjoy life, there's nothing wrong with settling down in Beijing and living a peaceful life.

Watching Ge Hongbin's car drive away, Qin Feng felt deeply grateful for the guidance his superior had given him.

Although he was Ge Zhiyong's father, he cared for and supported him more than he did for his own son.

......

Qin Feng originally planned to go to the principal's office to talk about Wu Jin's preparation for the postgraduate entrance examination.

However, they were told that the principal and the committee member had drunk too much and were resting.

After waiting for more than an hour, the two finally woke up and called Qin Feng to the office.

Pushing open the door, I saw two people, one rubbing his head and the other brewing strong tea, both looking quite drunk.

The management system of military academies is slightly looser than that of local troops, and given their ranks, no one dared to say a word against drinking.

Qin Feng stated his purpose directly and had prepared detailed information about Wujin in advance, demonstrating his determination to study there.

Wang Guohuai took the documents, glanced at them, and nodded slightly: "They have participated in combating drug traffickers, maintaining regional stability, and international peacekeeping missions, and have achieved good results in military-level combined armored vehicle exercises."

"This soldier has a well-rounded career path and an impressive resume. He should have no problem getting into our school's graduate program."

But when Hao Zhengwei took the materials, he raised a question: "He is pursuing a mechanized command route. Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate for him to apply to the PLA Command Academy, since Man Xiongzhi came from there. The armored integrated warfare there is more comprehensive. Why would he want to come to us?"

Qin Feng bluntly stated, "Perhaps it's because of me?"

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Hao Zhengwei said, "Later, when Commander Lu graduates, I'll have him come and report to me. He'll go straight into my research group and become my student."

Qin Feng was overjoyed. He knew that Hao Zhengwei was a leader who came from the armored forces and was also one of the first generals in the country to propose to follow the Western approach of combined arms warfare.

Being able to have Wu Jin registered as his student is tantamount to finding a towering tree for his military career.

Qin Feng was extremely grateful, but Hao Zhengwei waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing serious.

However, he also put forward a condition: "Next week, we will conduct a combat exercise with the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"This time they came with great force, borrowing elite air force units from the Central Plains Theater Command and Rocket Force units to assist them."

"Of course, we also have special forces from the garrison area, as well as several combined arms units as helpers."

"However, just to be on the safe side, I hope you can serve as our General Staff Officer and help us achieve victory for the military academy!"

Qin Feng stood up and saluted: "It is my duty!"

......

After leaving the office, Qin Feng made a phone call to Wu Jin.

When he learned that he could become a student of a two-star general and join his research group to pursue graduate studies, he was so excited that he almost kowtowed to Qin Feng over the phone.

"Thank you, Brother Feng, thank you so much! I'm so excited! I didn't expect you to be here so quickly..."

"Alright, enough of that. We're brothers, no need for formalities. Working hard is the greatest reward you can give to the army and to me."

"Yes! I will definitely study hard and make progress every day, striving to surpass Man Xiongzhi in achievements in the future!"

"That's ambitious! From now on, I won't even need to lift a finger to beat that guy; I can just send you. Hahahaha..."

After resolving matters in Wujin, Qin Feng helped Professor Tao from the Combat Command Department teach two open classes.

Qin Feng's arrival also caused the two otherwise ordinary classes to be packed with people.

Whether they were in higher or lower grades, everyone wanted to witness the undefeated legend of yesteryear.

Especially Qin Feng's famous line during the assessment: "Let's grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"

It is now regarded as a treasure by countless cadets and soldiers, who constantly study and learn from it!

After class, Qin Feng went to the office to catch up with his old teachers. While walking, he suddenly received a friend request on his phone.

Applicant: Brother Wang from AAAA Building Materials?

This left Qin Feng feeling completely bewildered.

I didn't want that house, so how did the building materials supplier find me by smell?
