Hu Chongxian has been refusing, mostly because he is "busy with work", "engaging in military training" and "doesn't have time".

He is really busy. Every time he replies, he also sends a few photos. They are all based on outdoor military training. There are many soldiers going off-road, with military vehicles and tanks next to them.

There was a photo that left a deep impression on Xue Qian - Hu Chongxian was sitting in a helicopter, holding a microphone, and seemed to be directing on-site training.

He admired the old man greatly. At the same time, he also admired his friend Li Guobin, thinking that he was a good man with a wild way and who also took good care of him.

Two weeks later, Hu Chongxian and Li Guobin came to the hotel again.

A sumptuous meal is definitely indispensable. Money or not is not important to Xue Qian. At the wine table, he catered to him and flattered him constantly. Hu Chongxian was also very cheerful in conversation. He drank a few more glasses and kept talking. There will be more.

"Depreciation of military vehicles is a problem! This business is actually a disguised welfare. The army has to fight. In order to ensure the performance of the equipment, the depreciation period of any vehicle will be advanced. For example, a military off-road vehicle, normally The standard mileage maintenance period is 100,000 kilometers. But in fact, it can’t be driven for that long at all, and it must be replaced after 80,000 or even 70,000 kilometers at most.”

"This is not a waste, but to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. Think about it, once an old car goes on the battlefield, what will happen if something goes wrong? Therefore, the money should not be less, to maintain the army for a thousand days and use it for a while. It will come in handy at critical moments.”

Xue Qian was deeply impressed.

Hu Chongxian continued: "The depreciation of military vehicles is a big business, but outsiders cannot get involved. We have regulations. Participants must have strong roots and strong roots. Those who have made mistakes are not allowed. They must also pass the political review. Because This involves military secrets, parts disassembly and assembly cannot be leaked, otherwise it will be punished as treason."

He said it so loudly that Xue Qian was frightened and nodded repeatedly.

Li Guobin was always there to support him and said with emotion: "General Tiger is a principled person."

Apart from "Yes! Yes!" Xue Qian couldn't find the right words.

That night, Hu Chong first revealed many "secrets".

"Xiao Xue, our country's comprehensive strength is now much stronger than before, and the requirements for soldiers are also increasing. Well... do you have any children?"

Xue Qian nodded quickly: "Yes."

"Male or female?"

"Male, he's twenty-three."

"Are you a college student?"

"It's been more than a year since I graduated. Now I stay at home with nothing to do. I spend all day reading or playing games."

"Haha, with a big boss like you as his father, he can definitely win!"

"It's okay to say this, don't take it seriously." Xue Qian sighed: "Although the family is rich, there are always times when the gold and silver are hollowed out. My son's grades were average when he was in school, and he finally passed the college entrance examination. He has a second degree. I want him to take the civil service examination, but now the government department requires at least a bachelor's degree as the bottom line. With his academic qualifications, he still has to study hard... Anyway, I have thought about it and let him rest at home for a while. , I must take the postgraduate entrance examination next year. Otherwise, there will be no way out in the future."

Li Guobin laughed when he heard it: "Old Xue, you are just like Old Huang Li. If you ask me, since your son has no intention of studying, he might as well join the army with General Tiger."

Hu Chong didn't say anything at first. He ate the food slowly, looking enigmatic.

Xue Qian looked at Li Guobin doubtfully: "Be a soldier?"

Li Guobin said seriously: "General Tiger just said that the policy now is different from before. College students are given preferential treatment when joining the army. There are two situations: the first is to join the army after being admitted to university, and the school will retain their student status. I have a better choice in the military. If you perform well, you can transfer to a military academy. After a few years, when you retire and return to your hometown, you can continue your studies at the original university. All kinds of political evaluations can be improved, and you can also give priority to employment. .”

Xue Qian licked his lips, shook his head with a wry smile: "My son has graduated, this is completely inapplicable to him!"

Li Guobin smiled and said: "This is the second thing I want to say next: if you choose to join the army after graduating from college, then your son's starting point will be much higher than others. After entering, he will be promoted to non-commissioned officers soon, and when he is promoted to officers, priority."

"Really?" Xue Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had never paid attention to these things. On the one hand, his son had no interest in joining the army, and on the other hand, Xue Qian had never had similar thoughts.

Many things are time-sensitive, and the same applies to joining the army. In the past, the status of soldiers was low, far inferior to what it is now. After taking office, the treatment of military police has been greatly improved. Especially in recent years, various publicity reports have focused on the military field, and joining the army has also Become an excellent choice.

As Xue Qian said: The family is not short of money, and the son's future livelihood will not be a problem. The key is that he must have a reasonable, decent, good job with status.

Xue Qian was moved: "Then if my son joins the army now, can he become an officer?"

He had heard about this before. "College graduates with a bachelor's degree join the army and are directly promoted to second lieutenant." This was a policy long ago.

Li Guobin quietly pointed at Hu Chongxian and lowered his voice: "You have to ask Brother Hu about this."

From "Tiger General" to "Tiger Brother", the change in title is a temptation in itself.

Xue Qian quickly poured a glass of wine, approached Hu Chongxian, and told the story exactly.

His heart was full of enthusiasm and expectation: "Hu...Brother Hu, I really need your help regarding my son."

Hu Chongxian smiled softly: "This is a good thing. Besides, Xiaoxue, your son is still a college student. We welcome him very much! But there is a problem. It has been a while since he graduated, and it is not the recruitment season now. He can't catch up this year. , so we have to wait until next year.”

Xue Qian knew something about these things. He knew that Hu Chong was not trying to shirk or talk nonsense, so he nodded frequently and asked: "Brother Hu, what do you mean..."

"If according to the policy, your son will enlist in the army next year, he can only take the basic line." Hu Chongxian looked serious, but his voice was not as loud as usual, probably because he was drunk.

He knocked on the table with his knuckles: "In other words, it's just like the treatment of new recruits."

Xue Qian was a little surprised: "But my son has graduated from college!"

Hu Chong smiled first and lowered his voice: "Xiao Xue, by next year, your son will not be a fresh graduate. According to national policy, he will be an ordinary recruit. There is another problem. Your son has not graduated from a bachelor's degree. Bachelor's degree."

Xue Qian said "Oh", and he instantly lost interest in the matter. If he was just an ordinary recruit, he might as well let his son learn business with him.

Li Guobin came over, raised his hand and patted Xue Qian's shoulder: "You are not smart when you should be smart. There is such a big Buddha in front of you, but you are still looking for the temple door... Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really don't know what to do. Should I say you are stupid, or should I say you have no vision?"

Xue Qian was confused for a while. He really didn't know the details here, so he quickly asked: "Lao Li, what do you mean..."

Li Guobin chuckled and said: "There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. As long as it's a matter within the military system, it's not a big deal here at all, Brother Tiger."

Xue Qian understood immediately and quickly poured another glass of wine and presented it to Hu Chongxian: "Brother Hu, please help my useless son."

Hu Chong nodded first and said in a serious tone: "Xiao Xue, what you said is wrong. All those who can go to college are talented people, but you have not found the right path for your children."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xue Qian quickly agreed and said sincerely: "Brother Tiger is right."

Seeing that the play was almost finished, Hu Chongxian said in a low voice: "Let's do it! I will go through the procedures for your son and count him as a new recruit this year. In this way, he can enjoy the benefits of fresh graduates in terms of procedures. , you will have priority in promotions, and you will be a second lieutenant after joining, enjoying the treatment of deputy company level."

Xue Qian was overjoyed: "Thank you, Brother Tiger."

Hu Chong first raised his hand to block him: "Don't be busy now. Wait until I explain to you the details of the doorway here. If you feel like it, it won't be too late to thank you then."

Xue Qian nodded like he was pounding garlic: "Okay, okay, Brother Hu, please tell me, I'll listen."

Hu Chongxian's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible pride, and he continued: "He is also a second lieutenant, and he can only be a platoon-level cadre. The reason why your son can be a deputy company when he comes in is because of the relationship between us. Xiao Xue, you are a kind person, and I will not play tricks with you. After your son joined the army, he came directly to me as a guard. From then on, he was promoted every three years. When he reached the rank of major, I will release him and he will be a regular in the camp. .”

Xue Qian said in surprise: "Thank you, Brother Tiger."

Hu Chongxian said seriously: "I'm going to say something ugly first. Although I am the director of the Zhaocheng Military Division, it costs money to do this. The army is a system, and I am not the one who has the final say. Not to mention the time of your son's enlistment. It’s already too late, just modifying the data into the computer involves several relevant departments.”

Xue Qian smiled and said: "Money is not an issue. Brother Hu, please tell me the number."

Hu Chong thought for a moment: "About two hundred thousand!"

Xue Qian was stunned when he heard this number.

It wasn't that there was too much money, but a thought suddenly came to his mind - it was normal to join the army, but why did it suddenly turn into a business?

Seeing that he was silent, Hu Chongxian's face became a little ugly. He turned around and ate the food without saying anything.

Li Guobin exhorted from the side: "Old Xue, I can buy a future for your son with only 200,000 yuan. It's really a good deal."

Xue Qian is someone who has been through this before and will not be easily persuaded by just a few words.

He made a few casual remarks, excused himself to use the bathroom, left the private room, and turned around to enter the office on the second floor of the hotel.

Turning on the computer, he quickly clicked on the search page and entered keywords such as "joining the army", "time", "salary", "military rank", etc.

Again, the Internet is a good thing, and you can check many things.

What Hu Chong said first is basically true.

The relevant policies for college students joining the military are very clear once you check them, and the time regulations are also very accurate.

Xue Qian found that it was indeed a bit late to start this matter for his son now.

He quickly found a military forum, clicked on it, and entered.

Xue Qian entered a consultation topic, concealed the identities of both parties, and briefly talked about the matter, mainly mentioning "my son's enlistment time", "can be a guard", "promotion" and other aspects.

After doing all this, he got up and left, heading to a private room in the restaurant.

Next, it’s time to drink and eat.

Xue Qian never mentioned the matter of his son joining the army again.

After seeing off Hu Chongxian and Li Guobin, he called the waiter to clean up the mess and went to the office himself.

On the forum, there are already many comments under the consultation topic set by Xue Qian.

"It is indeed late to join the army. This is a policy. You must be a fresh graduate. If you want to be an officer, you must have a degree. The country recruits high-end talents, and the difference between high school students and college students is really big."

"Guard? This is awesome!"

"The people above are simply short-sighted. What's so great about being an officer? No matter whether it's a second lieutenant, a lieutenant or a captain, you have to retire at the end of the year. Even if you are a school officer, it's the same for a full battalion, deputy regiment, or full regiment. It's a matter of time before you change careers. So don't waste it. If you spend time and energy racking your brains to find ways to improve your career, you might as well work hard at the grassroots level and strive to become a senior sergeant major."

"You know nothing upstairs! Where can you find such a good senior sergeant? Let's not talk about the whole country. Let's just take a military region as an example. How many senior sergeants are there? Then look at the ratio with officers. How much is it? What I enjoy is a master-level treatment."

"If you have connections in the army, you can serve as a guard after joining the army, which would be really good. Putting aside your personal ability for the moment, this position is equivalent to a special car driver next to the leader. The future development prospects are unlimited."

"The correct answer upstairs. The promotion speed of guards is definitely much faster than that of ordinary soldiers, and there are more opportunities. The reason is very simple. Everyone knows the same thing. Many people can do the same thing and do it well. . But it is different with the person who is familiar with the leader. In the end, the benefits still fall on the acquaintance."

"I remember that guards seem to be selected from outstanding soldiers. Why can they be designated directly now?"

"The people upstairs are ignorant, as long as they have some connections..."

After reading and searching on the Internet for most of the night, Xue Qian had an idea.

Everything Hu Chongxian said is true.

Li Guobin didn't lie either.

If he can really join the army and work as a guard next to Hu Chongxian, then his son will indeed have a good future.

The army is a place to train people, but it is also important to stand out and strive for the top.

Thinking of his son's mighty and domineering look in military uniform, Xue Qian couldn't help but smile.

…

The next night, Xue Qian took the initiative to make an appointment with Hu Chongxian and Li Guobin.

He got straight to the point: "Brother Tiger, I leave my son's affairs to you."
