Chapter 251 Deputy company-level treatment!
The process for recommending outstanding soldiers for promotion was not as simple as Jiang Chen imagined.
A second-class merit or two third-class merits are just a stepping stone. There are still many follow-up procedures to go through. If there is any problem in the middle, Jiang Chen’s promotion this time may be ruined.
Of course, this does not mean that he will not be promoted, but the promotion time may be delayed from this year to next year, or even to the year after next.
Under the instruction of the regiment leader and Ge Hongtao's unsparing efforts, Jiang Chen barely met the most basic promotion standards this year.
Of course, Jiang Chen was able to successfully pass the assessment and successfully complete the seven-day public notice period before promotion, largely thanks to the pre-exam cram school he had attended before.
Without this favor, the seven-day public notice period might have been passed, but it would definitely not have been so smooth.
Sitting on the bus heading to the county railway station, Jiang Chen's thoughts were still on the reconnaissance company's camp.
Before departure, the company commander Ge Hongtao made a special trip to find Jiang Chen. In addition to reminding him of the things and materials he needed to prepare after returning home, he also brought him good news.
After application by the Youth League Party Committee and approval by the Military Department, Comrade Jiang Chen’s treatment was exceptionally increased, taking into account his difficult family conditions.
While studying in the military academy, you can enjoy the treatment of deputy company level in advance.
-
Of course, it was just treatment and there was no real military rank.
According to the file, his military rank was still that of a cadet, but he was just enjoying the benefits of being promoted to officer in advance.
However, Jiang Chen was already very satisfied.
In peacetime, there is no such thing as early awarding of ranks in the military. Even if you meet all the requirements for promotion and successfully pass the public announcement period, as long as you have not graduated from the military academy, your rank will at most be that of a cadet.
This is mainly done to prevent some people from taking advantage of their connections to get in through the back door.
After all, although the army is pure, it is not completely unaffected by the outside world. Personal connections, qualifications and background are all things you can never avoid as long as you live in this world.
However, military ranks cannot be awarded in advance, but salaries can be increased in advance.
The treatment of a deputy company-level officer may not mean much to the children of high-ranking officials, but for lower-level soldiers like Jiang Chen who come from rural areas and have poor family conditions, it is like a timely help. It can greatly reduce the pressure from family conditions and allow them to devote more energy to study.
Military academies originally had a preferential policy of “three exemptions and one subsidy”.
Tuition, miscellaneous fees and accommodation fees are exempted, and a certain amount of allowance is provided.
The amount will not be too high, maybe only a few hundred or a thousand yuan a month.
Jiang Chen enjoyed the deputy company-level treatment in advance. In addition to the three exemptions and one subsidy, he can also receive a basic salary of two to three thousand yuan each month, as well as various subsidies including but not limited to housing, living, and position.
The basic salary and subsidies for a month are at least four to five thousand yuan.
Four or five thousand yuan is definitely considered an upper-middle income in this era, not to mention in second- and third-tier cities, even in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
No one understands the value of 5,000 yuan a month better than Jiang Chen.
Back then, when he dropped out of high school and just started working, his biggest wish was to earn 3,000 yuan a month.
One hundred dollars a day, you can never spend it all, you can never spend it all...
However, the income that he had worked hard for four or five years to barely achieve in his previous life, he now satisfied in less than a year.
Not only was it satisfied, but it almost doubled on this basis.
All I can say is that if you have not experienced the beatings of society, you will never understand how important a relatively fair platform that allows you to give full play to your potential is.
Moreover, in addition to the above-mentioned financial subsidies, deputy company-level officials also receive preferential treatment in terms of medical care, education, etc.
For example, deputy company-level officers and their families can enjoy the military's medical insurance system.
When visiting military hospitals, you can enjoy free or preferential medical services.
Including but not limited to outpatient care, hospitalization, medicines, etc.
Needless to say, the value of military hospitals is well known to all...
More importantly, Jiang Chen's family is in Qin Province, only three hours' drive from the provincial capital Chang'an. After the expressway is opened in the future, this time will be further shortened.
Chang'an, the largest city in the northwest, has educational and medical resources that are unmatched by ordinary cities.
In terms of education, there are many 985 and 211 famous universities.
In terms of medical resources, I won’t talk about the fact that the number of Grade A hospitals ranks among the top five in the country.
The four words "Xijing Hospital" alone are enough to instantly kill more than 90% of the hospitals in the country.
As for why we have to mention Xijing Hospital separately?
Because Xijing Hospital has another name, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University.
Its predecessor was the Central Hospital once established in the revolutionary holy land, which later merged with the affiliated hospitals of the Fourth and Fifth Military Medical Universities.
Before the 1980s, Xijing Hospital was called the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University.
In other words, if Jiang Chen's parents or family members are sick and hospitalized in the future, they can go directly to Xijing Hospital and enjoy the priority service for military families.
A series of policies including priority registration, priority medical treatment, priority examination, priority medication, etc.
In addition, there are reductions and reimbursements for various medical expenses, examination fees, medicine fees and other related expenses.
It is no exaggeration to say that from then on, Jiang Chen no longer had any worries.
From the moment he entered the military academy, the country took care of his life from birth to death.
Thinking about all these things in his mind, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of the plan he had made when he was in the teaching team.
Write books to make money.
Although officers enjoy good welfare benefits, that’s where they end.
It is enough to support a family, but it is impossible to ask for more.
This is a common problem among all public officials.
Money is a good thing, everyone lacks it and no one has enough of it.
Regardless of whether it is a career in politics or as an officer, if you want to go further, there are some things that you’d better not touch.
Making more money can not only make your family live better, but also make your future path smoother and more stable.
As long as his previous idea can be achieved, regardless of other things, at least no one will have any bad intentions in the economic aspect, which can help Jiang Chen save a lot of trouble.
Although this world is not the world he remembers, its general development will not change.
In the future, more and more people will inevitably turn their attention to the military.
Although it is not easy for the army to recruit college students nowadays, let alone a bachelor's degree, any college degree can make people happy for a long time.
After that...
There are a lot of college students who want to join the army.
Not to mention promotion, even to join the army you have to rely on connections to find someone.
It goes without saying that if I really become an officer, in a few years, all those distant relatives who were not related to me in the first place will definitely come to me for help.
It doesn’t matter if he is in the army, because the person involved won’t be found on him no matter what, but it’s hard to say about his parents.
Jiang Chen never hesitates to assume the worst of others.
Therefore, it is better to do some things in advance.
……
The army had already prepared the train ticket for him, so he just had to go to the window with his soldier ID to get the ticket and get on the train.
Now is not the peak transportation season. There may be more people coming from the south by bus, but there are not many people going back at this time.
Jiang Chen didn't want to live a life that was unfair to himself, so he paid extra to buy a soft sleeper in addition to his original hard sleeper.
Before getting on the bus, Jiang Chen did not forget to send a message to Ge Hongtao, Li Gang and others, telling them that he was on the bus.
Jiang Chen did not leave behind any of his comrades from the previous recruit company.
Go to the corresponding carriage according to your ticket and find your bed.
Just like when he came, Jiang Chen was only carrying a backpack. In the backpack, there was no item related to the army except a set of camouflage uniform that he had borrowed from someone unknown.
Things like military uniforms and daily clothes will be reissued when you arrive at the military academy.
Moreover, as a prospective military officer, Jiang Chen should have an extra set of uniform that only officers have.
Without a military uniform, Jiang Chen's behavior naturally didn't need to be so restrained.
I casually threw my backpack onto my bed and leaned back...
At this time, it would be perfect if I could have a smartphone.
Unfortunately, the future "father of smartphones" Steve Jobs is probably still working on his portable music player project, and there is still a long time before the birth of the iPhone.
Jiang Chen casually took out a university-level book on computer basics from his backpack and half-leaned on the carriage to read it slowly.
Going to military school doesn't mean you don't have to study.
In fact, when it comes to the intensity of study, military academies are far more intense than ordinary universities.
As the saying goes, as long as you choose the right major, you will be able to take the college entrance examination every year.
Military academies are a typical example.
Not only do they have to complete general courses in college, but they also have to learn knowledge related to combat command, and finally they have to take various physical fitness and military skills assessments.
Especially Jiang Chen's major.
Special operations command.
In military academies, everyone generally affectionately calls the command department students "beasts."
The special operations command major is the most elite of the breed, and the amount of training is not much less than that of the reconnaissance company...
In fact, according to Jiang Chen's original plan, he wanted to apply for a major related to combined combat command.
After all, integration is the general trend of the future development of the army, and Jiang Chen naturally doesn't want to miss it.
But I don’t know why I was assigned to the special operations command major in the end.
Jiang Chen guessed that it might be because he was a scout, or maybe the regiment had some arrangements for his future assignment after graduation.
Although it was a bit of a pity, Jiang Chen didn't take it too seriously.
It is true that integration is a major trend, but special warfare is also a major trend.
Synthesis + special operations.
This is the main direction of future development of our country's military.
Especially after the year 2000, the international situation became more stable, and it was almost impossible for a large-scale war to break out within twenty years.
The importance of special forces, which are more suitable for small-scale operations, has been mentioned again and again.
A series of movies and TV series such as "Soldier Assault" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" also illustrate this point.
In the future, ordinary companies will hardly have any great opportunities for promotion through meritorious service. On the contrary, special forces will be more likely to be promoted.
At least, that was the case before he became lieutenant colonel.
Later, as the military reform became more and more in-depth, battles like high and low assaults became less and less common, and ordinary troops also began to pursue elitism/special warfare.
The expansion of special forces into special operations brigades is the best evidence.
So, going into special operations isn't entirely a bad thing.
Don't forget that Jiang Chen also has the golden finger of dream space. He can completely grasp both synthesis and special warfare, and be good at both.
As long as he completes this step, it is not completely impossible for Jiang Chen to become the general of his dreams.
This is Jiang Chen’s entire plan for his future.
At work, try to move towards the direction of a combined forces unit; in life, find a way to achieve financial freedom before graduation.
I don't ask for great wealth and honor, as long as I don't fall behind others.

Jiang Chen's movements of turning the pages of the book were not fast, but they were very rhythmic.
This is to be able to see the contents of each page clearly, making it easier to enter the dream space to study later.
Whether the soft sleeper is comfortable or not is secondary. The main thing is that the soft sleeper compartment has a door, which ensures privacy while being quiet enough.
It is not as noisy as a hard sleeper car, nor is it like a hard seat car where the aisles and under the chairs are filled with luggage and people.
This time, there is no need to reverse the car and Jiang Chen can drive directly to his hometown county. He doesn't want to waste such a long time.
When he was in the military camp, Jiang Chen specifically asked his instructor to get him a complete set of textbooks on basic university subjects.
College mathematics, college English, college physics, political theory...
These contents must be studied in both military academies and ordinary universities, and are universal courses.
Because it was a special train for carrying new recruits and it rarely stopped along the way, it took less than twelve hours to reach its destination.
Going back won’t be so quick.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen was well prepared for this. Except for eating and going to the toilet, he spent most of his time lying in bed "sleeping".
Occasionally, when I wake up, I am reading a book.
The passengers on the other three beds in the room all thought that the young man in front of them was suffering from some unknown disease.
When talking or chatting, everyone subconsciously lowers their voices.
……
August 2, 4:35 p.m.
Jiang Chen returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar small county town again after a year.
The reason why I say familiar is that at this time in his previous life, he should have been in an Internet cafe in the county, addicted to online games.
I say it felt strange because not long after, and also in this place, my previous life's self boarded a train to the provincial capital, Chang'an.
Over the past decade or so since then, apart from a quick trip back during the Chinese New Year every year, I have never taken a close look at this small county town.
His only impression of his hometown county was the train station in front of him and the trains rushing past.
I bought some things in a supermarket in the county town, and then went to the shopping mall next door to pick out clothes for my parents, grandfather and sister.
Carrying a lot of bags, Jiang Chen hailed a taxi.
"Master, are you going to Linjiagou?"
There is no bus that goes directly to Linjiagou from the county seat. Unless you happen to meet a black van driver from the village, you can only take the bus to the town and then walk back.
It was getting late and Jiang Chen was carrying so many things, so he simply took a taxi.
"Sixty, no bargaining."
"Okay, Master, help me open the trunk."
The good thing about a small county town is that prices fluctuate very little.
In Jiang Chen's memory, twenty years later, the price of a taxi from the county town to his hometown seemed to be only sixty or seventy yuan.
It cost five yuan to take a van to the town, and then the fare increased by one yuan for the village-to-village bus service. Finally, the county opened a bus from the town to the county seat and the fare dropped to three yuan.
He stuffed everything in his hands into the trunk, leaving only the backpack with him, and sat in the back seat of the taxi. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
He should be considered to have returned home in glory now, right?
