Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Hearing Gao Shijun's words, Gao Cheng's heart tightened at first, but then he relaxed a lot and became excited. However, his voice remained very steady. "Reporting to the commander, I am indeed having some difficulty learning about information technology."

Previously, troop command relied entirely on traditional reconnaissance methods, with limited access to various data terminals and intelligence networking systems. Now, to ensure real-time synchronization of forward reconnaissance information with the command chain, there are shortcomings in parameter conversion and platform coordination.

He paused, his tone softening slightly, yet still stubborn, and said, "I've been spending all my free time in the battalion's computer room lately, studying textbooks and practicing operations with the communications staff officer. I've barely grasped the basic theory."

However, when it comes to collaborative simulations, the intelligence fusion and processing is still prone to errors. The main difficulty lies in the linkage logic of the digital command platform, while operating the equipment individually is not a problem.

The process of sharing intelligence with infantry, armored, and fire units in real time is generally not smooth...

Gao Shijun listened quietly. It had been a long time since his son had talked to him so much since he graduated from Changshan Army Command and joined the army. He didn't expect his son to say so much in this phone call.

He tapped the plan on the table with his fingertip, and only spoke slowly after Gao Cheng finished speaking, "Okay, as long as you can solve it yourself, it's fine. It's okay to have weaknesses, as long as you are willing to calm down and make up for them, that's a good thing. You can come to me if you have any questions about your studies."

For this pilot combined arms battalion project, the army group party committee has decided that Zhang Anbang, deputy head of the training section of your T division, will serve as acting battalion commander, responsible for coordinating the formation and subsequent training of the entire combined arms battalion.

"Your armored reconnaissance module proposal is excellent. We've decided you'll be involved in the formation of the combined arms battalion's reconnaissance module. You can take this opportunity to learn about digital and information-based combined arms planning from Zhang Anbang."

After a pause, Gao Shijun continued, "Don't feel embarrassed to ask him questions just because he used to be your deputy. You should ask him for advice."

Hearing Gao Shijun's words, Gao Cheng almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Face? What face did he and Zhang Anbang have to care about? He was becoming a little shameless by following along.

However, he didn't say it aloud, but only replied, "Yes, Commander! I've been learning a lot. I'll definitely seize this opportunity to spend more time together and dig out as much information as possible."

……

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two hung up the phone. Gao Cheng did not put the receiver back on the stand. He lightly pressed the interrupt button on the side of the phone with his fingertip. After a brief buzzing sound from the receiver, a steady dial tone came through again.

His fingertips landed on the number keys, and he dialed an extension number.

After two beeps, the phone was answered, "Hello, this is Zhang Anbang."

"Battalion Commander Zhang, congratulations!"

Hearing the voice on the microphone, Zhang Anbang was stunned for a moment. "Congratulations? Battalion Commander, what battalion commander?"

He quickly realized what he meant, his voice trembling with excitement, "Company Commander, you mean...?"

Hearing Zhang Anbang's obviously excited voice through the microphone, Gao Cheng chuckled, "That's right, just as you thought. It's settled. You, Zhang Anbang, will be the first acting battalion commander of our division's heavy armored combined arms battalion pilot project."

So, don't you think I should congratulate you on this?

"Haha," Zhang Anbang laughed, "Congratulations! Company Commander, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, "What did you say? Congratulations, you are the first acting battalion commander."

"Not this sentence, the first sentence."

"The first sentence?" Gao Cheng paused, then tentatively asked, "Battalion Commander Zhang?"

"Hey, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, what's up? Speak."

Hearing Zhang Anbang's smug tone, Gao Cheng was speechless. This was truly fucking speechless.

"Get lost, you're showing off in front of me."

Zhang Anbang chuckled, "Hehe, Company Commander, the way you put it, I can only show off in front of you. I'm young, and if I show off in front of others, I'll get cocky."

Regardless of what others think of me, they'll surely say my conduct is problematic during the democratic evaluation.

Gao Cheng nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, as long as you don't get cocky, that's fine. By the way, I'll help you set up the reconnaissance module. You'll also need to make time to help me catch up on the digitization and information technology aspects later."

Zhang Anbang twirled the kidney ruler in his hand. "Hey, Company Commander, that's nothing. But, Company Commander, you're quick with your news, aren't you? The division headquarters hasn't given us the order yet."

"You rascal! Not only do you know about my affairs, but you even know about your reconnaissance assistance module. You've practically planted forward observation posts inside the army group's Party committee!"

"Zhang Anbang, you, you're being silly. You, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to. The old man thought my proposal was pretty good, so he called me and brought it up. I just wanted to let you know."

"Ha ha."

As a good brother, Zhang Anbang was genuinely happy to see that Gao Cheng and Commander Gao's relationship had improved. The awkward relationship between the father and son used to be uncomfortable to watch.

"Hey, by the way, Company Commander, when you said congratulations earlier, was it just a casual remark? Didn't it seem a bit insincere?"

Gao Cheng's heart skipped a beat. "Sincerity? What kind of sincerity do you want?"

"I don't want anything, but why don't you say something, Company Commander?"

Gao Cheng was a little confused. "Speak? What do you mean? Congratulations, I already said that."

Zhang Anbang chuckled, "Hey, Company Commander, it's not that. It's that line, you know, if you need any help, just say so, I'll give you my full support."

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng's tone immediately changed. "Get lost, get lost, get lost right now. You're trying to freeload off me again. I'm short of people, I'm really short of people."

Well, that's all for now. I'm pretty busy, so I'll stop here.

After saying that, Gao Cheng hung up the phone without giving Zhang Anbang a chance to speak.

Hearing the busy tone on the microphone, Zhang Anbang chuckled a few times, put the microphone back on the receiver, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Wow, time really flies in the army. In the blink of an eye, it's been more than four years since I joined the army."

I've finally gotten a full-time job, even if it's just an acting position. Life's finally getting better, though it's still not as good as those who get a full-time job right after leaving the military or within two or three years.

Fortunately, this was Zhang Anbang's own private office; otherwise, if others had heard him say this, they would have called him Versailles.

What does it mean if someone gets a full-fledged position right after joining the army? That means they're a platoon leader (or a deputy company commander), but it's definitely a full-fledged position.

The situation was similar to when he first joined the army: he was a captain and deputy company commander, and after two or three years, he was promoted to company commander.

When he was assigned to the army, he served as deputy company commander, but he was transferred away after less than two years.
