Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Looking at their expressions, Wu Liuyi had a feeling that there was something he didn't know, but since neither the company commander nor the deputy company commander said anything, he didn't dare to ask. His intuition told him that if he asked, he would definitely get beaten up.

Well, if it were just the company commander beating him, he could try to dodge, since the company commander's individual combat ability was limited and his hand-to-hand combat was far inferior to his.

But if we add the deputy company commander, it won't work. After all, although he is currently invincible in Changshan Army Academy, he is still no match for the deputy company commander.

The difference isn't that great. With his current fighting ability, he's only slightly behind Qi Huan, not Xu Sanduo.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Zhang Anbang looked at Gao Cheng's ambiguous smile and immediately spoke up, "Hey, Company Commander, I just told Liu Yi that I went to great lengths to assign his internship to the Division Reconnaissance Battalion."

Tell him to study hard, follow you diligently as company commander, and not just do the work of a platoon leader, deputy company commander, or company commander. Ideally, he should also learn the skills of a deputy battalion commander and completely exploit you.

"Hahaha," Gao Cheng laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Yes, well said. Study hard, study boldly and confidently, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

As he spoke, Gao Cheng turned to look at Wu Liuyi with a cigarette in his mouth, "Liuyi, you heard what I just said. I'm not afraid of you learning, I'm just afraid you won't learn. In the next two months, you should study hard. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me anytime."

Wu Liuyi immediately replied seriously, "Yes, Company Commander, I will definitely study harder. Please don't find me annoying if I ask too many questions."

"Get lost," Gao Cheng kicked Wu Liuyi on the butt. "Back in the Seventh Company, you asked me all the time when I ever found you annoying."

Besides, even if you annoy me with your questions, I'll just ask this person for reimbursement. There's always a safety net, so what are you afraid of?

"A safety net?" Wu Liuyi scratched the back of his head. "Company commander, what are you talking about? Who's going to cover for me?"

Seeing Wu Liuyi's puzzled look, Gao Cheng gestured towards Zhang Anbang with his chin, "He's right here. We've made a deal. After you graduate, you'll go hang out with him."

"Uh," Wu Liuyi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered. After all, he had gone through the T-class's guaranteed admission program, and he would definitely return to the T-class after graduation, though he wasn't sure which regiment he would go to.

Especially since he had seen the company commander and deputy company commander start determining the number of recruits before the recruit training was even over during his time in basic training, he was not surprised at all by such a thing.

There was one question he was curious about: the core principle of military academy assignments is to be geared towards the grassroots level, especially since Changshan Army Academy is a primary infantry command academy, and its training objective is to train platoon leaders and squad commanders at the grassroots level.

Unless they are specially trained by a specific agency, recent junior commander graduates will not be directly assigned to agency departments.

Despite having experienced a lot, Wu Liuyi remained straightforward in front of these two, asking whatever came to mind.

"Well, Company Commander, the Deputy Company Commander is currently the Deputy Section Chief of the Operations and Training Section, and he's been a Major and Battalion Commander for quite a while now. His next promotion should be to Section Chief of the Operations and Training Section, right?"

I graduated from the Junior Command Academy; I wasn't a staff officer major, nor was I part of a targeted training program, so it's impossible for me to be assigned to the Operations and Training Section.

Besides, I don't like being a consultant. I spend all day writing plans, calculating data, and marking maps. I'm constantly staying up late, and I've lost a lot of hair.

Most importantly, I still prefer being in the front-line troops. Why would I follow the deputy company commander around?

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wu Liuyi got another kick in the butt. "Wu Liuyi, you've got some nerve, haven't you? You're practically calling a monk a bald monk, and I'm right here."

As he spoke, Zhang Anbang pointed to his hair, "See? See? Look at my thick, black hair, there's nothing missing."

Besides, this is also related to physical condition. Look at Lao He, he's not even in the training department, and good heavens, not only is his hair not keeping up with his progress, but even the top of his head needs local support from the central government.

"Haha," Gao Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing upon hearing this, while Wu Liuyi's shoulders shrugged, clearly trying to hold it in.

Although neither of them understood what Zhang Anbang was saying, the mention of thinning hair and He Hongtao was clearly not a compliment, since they both knew the state of Old He's hair.

"Xiao Qi, what you're saying is true. Old He does have a little less hair, and he even grew it out to make it grow longer, but what you just said was a bit too insulting."

Although I didn't understand your comment about your hair not keeping up with the pace of progress, I do understand the local government supporting the central government. Although what you said was quite vivid, your insults were indeed a bit vulgar.

If Lao He were here, he'd definitely go crazy. Even knowing he couldn't beat you, he'd still have to fight you to the death.

"Hehe," Zhang Anbang waved his hand dismissively, "Company Commander, it's nothing. Old He is such a good person, so broad-minded. He won't get angry with me even here."

As for his hair not keeping up with the pace of progress, it's because Lao He is moving too fast; his hair hasn't kept up, and his hairline has receded quite a bit.

"Okay, I'm really impressed with you. Your mouth is getting more and more nasty," Gao Cheng stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look at Wu Liuyi. "Liuyi, what you just said was the general situation."

After serving as deputy section chief for a maximum of four years, the most likely path to promotion to section chief is the standard route, and it is also the first destination for the vast majority of deputy section chiefs.

After all, it was a promotion within the same department, with a seamless transition in responsibilities, so there was no need to readjust to the new position; it was a natural and logical promotion.

However, besides this path, there are other directions. The second direction is to be sent down to the grassroots level as a battalion commander.

First, there is a mandatory requirement for two-way exchanges between government agencies and grassroots units, which does not allow cadres to stay in government agencies for a long time. Second, the deputy section chief of training is knowledgeable in tactics and training, so it is a targeted training program to become a battalion commander and make up for the lack of experience in leading troops as a principal officer.

Another issue is that there is currently no vacancy for the position of head of the training section, and the unit needs to strengthen its grassroots leadership team.

In this respect, Xiao Qi is exceptionally good in all aspects, including tactics and training. Although he has worked on the front line, he also lacks the experience of leading troops as a grassroots commander.

Therefore, there is a very high probability that he will be appointed as a battalion commander at the grassroots level next.

Of course, there are other paths, although the probability is relatively low, such as being transferred to the training section or military affairs section of the army group headquarters as a staff officer at the battalion level.

Or they could be transferred to another department as deputy section chief, such as the military affairs or logistics department in our division, where they could continue as deputy section chiefs, or they could be transferred to a technical position or arranged for demobilization.
