Jiang Defu's 80th birthday, the Jiang family from top to bottom gathered together. Particularly eye-catching is the Jiang family's eldest son, Jiang Weiguo, who is already the commander of a motorized infantry brigade with the rank of colonel, and stands out among many children and has made remarkable achievements. So, what exactly is it that makes him so good? 
Most of the children of the Jiang family devoted themselves to the work of the army, the second eldest Jiang Weidong served as the head of the logistics department, and Jiang Yafei was the political commissar of the regiment, responsible for the work in the cadre rest house. Although the elder Jiang Yaning did not choose to join the army, her husband worked in the army. Compared with his younger siblings who served in the army, Jiang Weiguo's position and rank are obviously more prominent. He is a brigade-level cadre with the rank of colonel, while Jiang Weidong is only a lieutenant colonel and may be a deputy regimental-level cadre in the logistics department. Jiang Yafei, as the political commissar of the regiment, may have the rank of colonel, but it is still lower than Jiang Weiguo's rank of colonel. The only rival may be Meng Tianzhu, when Jiang Defu was on his birthday, he wore a military uniform with the rank of colonel, but Jiang Yafei jokingly called Meng Deputy Political Commissar, that is, the deputy political commissar of the army, implying that he had not yet been promoted to colonel. Although Meng Tianzhu may have just become deputy political commissar, his military rank has not yet been promoted. However, it is worth noting that although Meng Tianzhu is Jiang Defu's son-in-law, he is not his biological child. Therefore, Jiang Weiguo is still the best among the children of the Jiang family, and deservedly became the eldest son of the Jiang family, showing outstanding leadership and outstanding military talent. 
Is the reason why Jiang Weiguo can achieve today's achievements inseparable from Jiang Defu's influence? As the commander of the garrison area, Jiang Defu held the post of a cadre at the division level, which had a far-reaching impact on the fate of many people. Not only did he send many people into the army, but even Yan Feng, who was illiterate in his hometown, became a member of the garrison service club under his arrangement. Jiang Defu has changed the trajectory of many people's lives with his influence. However, when Jiang Weiguo first said that he wanted to join the army, the situation was not as simple as others. His destination was the Sino-Soviet border, which made Jiang Defu feel very embarrassed and tried to refuse on various grounds. The reason why Jiang Weiguo chose this special and dangerous place made Jiang Defu worried, and it may even involve his personal worries about his son. In order to show his determination, Jiang Weiguo even adopted a hunger strike. Although Jiang Defu had the ability to arrange him into the army, he did not have the final say on the specific location arrangements. As commander of the garrison, his influence was limited. Therefore, Jiang Weiguo's decision to finally go to the Sino-Soviet border to serve as a soldier made Jiang Defu have to make reluctantly arrangements. 
Although Jiang Defu's influence can ensure Jiang Weiguo's enlistment in the army, it involves a higher level of issues to promote him to brigade commander. The power of the commander of the garrison area is mainly within the jurisdiction, and there is a clear difference between the motorized infantry brigade of the army and the navy where Jiang Defu is located. The direct impact may not be large, but the indirect impact is there. Jiang Defu once made acquaintances with classmates from the Naval Artillery School and formed important contacts. These networks work in different locations, but are able to look out for each other when needed. Jiang Defu's arrangements on some important occasions, such as welcome banquets, show his core connections. Although he was originally a regiment commander, he was later arranged for the navy, and before the naval artillery school, he was an army hero who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. All this makes Jiang Defu have considerable influence between the army and the navy, and provides the possibility for Jiang Weiguo's promotion. Overall, Jiang Defu's influence on Jiang Weiguo was both limited and far-reaching. Although he could not directly influence Jiang Weiguo's specific position, through his connections and influence, he laid the foundation for his son's military career and laid a solid foundation for his brilliant achievements in the army. 
As a high-ranking officer, Jiang Defu's parent-child relationship with Jiang Weiguo undoubtedly had a certain influence in the army. Jiang Weiguo is the son of a high-ranking military officer, a status that has made him highly regarded when he was in the military review. At that time, the army was extremely strict in the review of recruits, and Jiang Weiguo, who was born in a family of senior officers, naturally received special attention. The head of his unit undoubtedly knew Jiang Weiguo's family background, because Jiang Defu was the commander of the garrison area, and this identity was enough to attract the attention of his superiors. In the military, there is usually a deep affection between soldiers, and this emotional relationship can often produce substantial help. There are many examples of mutual assistance between armies. Just like An Jie's nephew suffered from meningitis, and Jiang Defu found a way to cure the medicine in the military hospital through his own connections. Even through Lao Ding's introduction at first, Jiang Defu's acquaintances in the military hospital eventually helped solve the problem. This kind of networking is not only in the Navy, but may also extend in the Army. The establishment of these interpersonal relationships made Jiang Weiguo have a certain background in the army, although Jiang Defu could not directly affect his son's promotion, but objectively still played a certain role. 
However, even with this relationship, whether Jiang Weiguo can successfully translate this influence into actual promotion ultimately depends on his personal efforts and talents. Jiang Weiguo himself is not a gentleman, but has shown outstanding leadership skills. The leadership qualities shown from an early age allowed him to become the eldest among his peers and command other children. This kind of leadership is also recognized at home, not only the children in the family obey him, but even the second child Jiang Weidong has been revolving around him. His decisiveness and resourcefulness are also evident in the little things, such as his flexibility when competing with other children. Jiang Weiguo is not without courage, but also has considerable wisdom. He dared to question his name, insisted on changing it to Jiang Weiguo, and took the lead in demonstrating at home, influencing the names of other siblings. He has always shown a strong sense of opinion, and he is never afraid to make decisions that may cause his head to bleed. Jiang Weiguo's choice to join the army on the Sino-Soviet border showed his extraordinary courage and sense of mission. At that time, there was conflict in the border area, which made it more likely that he would make a career there. He excelled on the battlefield, and as a young man he soon became a company commander in the unit. This rapid promotion was not simply due to family ties, but more to his heroic performance and military prowess. Subsequently, he may enter the military academy for further study, and after completing his studies, he will be promoted again, and this series of efforts and learning results will eventually lead to his promotion to the rank of colonel in the motorized infantry brigade, which is a remarkable achievement. 
Overall, Jiang Defu's influence provided a powerful backdrop for Jiang's start in the military, but Jiang's personal efforts, leadership, and outstanding performance on the battlefield ultimately contributed to his successful promotion. This process fully demonstrates that Jiang Weiguo is not only fortunate to enjoy the help of his family background, but also has the ability to translate this advantage into practical achievements.
