My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Humph, Lei Dapao, don't challenge me with your words!

I'm the chief of staff and my office is right next door. I came over to see if there are any problems with the new recruits who have been assigned to the company.

Why did you come all the way here instead of staying in the reconnaissance camp? "

The two men were old acquaintances, and Feng Yao knew very well that the best way to deal with this scoundrel was to fight back directly.

He thought so and did so. He kept calling him "boss" whenever he opened his mouth and kept calling him "boss". He did not show any sign of being confident as he had been when facing Ge Hongtao and Deputy Chief of Staff Li.

"I'm going home for dinner, so I'm passing by. I'm going to stop by the regiment headquarters to see if there's any problem with the regiment commander and the political commissar?"

"Haha, do you think the regiment commander and the political commissar are fools?"

"Hey, I didn't say that. The regiment commander and political commissar Lao Feng said that you two are like fools!"

"Lei Dapao, don't play tricks on me. I'm determined to take Jiang Chen as my soldier!"

"Feng Laohei, don't go too far! In the past two years, you came to our reconnaissance battalion every day to poach people. I didn't pursue anything for the sake of the regiment commander. Why are you trying to snatch even the new recruits now?"

"Humph, you said you're a new recruit yourself. The recruit company isn't yours. My detective company is also in need of new recruits. What's the problem?!"

"Can you please have some shame? Don't you feel guilty for saying this?"

"Why should I feel guilty? The allocation of new recruits is part of my responsibility. The police detective company has just been reorganized and is short of manpower. What's wrong with me asking for a few more recruits?"

Seeing the two people refusing to give in to each other, Zheng Xingguo was in a dilemma: "Okay, both of you shut up, your quarrel is giving me a headache!"

The prestige of the regiment commander Zheng Xingguo is still very high. It’s okay to laugh and joke around normally, but once he gets angry, everyone except the political commissar has to obey him.

The two of them were indeed old partners for more than ten years. As soon as the regiment commander finished playing the good cop role, the political commissar immediately played the bad cop role: "Haha, stop arguing, the two of you. The regiment commander and I have already discussed the issue of Jiang Chen's assignment to a new company."

After being scolded by the regiment commander first and then hearing the words of the political commissar, the two men, who had seemed to be at loggerheads just now, immediately quieted down, sat up straight, and pricked up their ears, waiting for what was to come.

"I won't go into detail about the situation of Jiang Chen, I believe you two know it better than anyone else.

And this, Xiao Ge just submitted an application, which I have approved after discussing with the team leader. "

Following the direction of the political commissar's finger, Feng Yao and Lei Dapao simultaneously looked at the documents on the table.

Application for the third-class merit...

The two looked at each other, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes to get Jiang Chen, the new recruit.

As a new recruit, it is not enough to have a second-class merit, and now I have an additional third-class merit. If I miss this, I will probably want to slap myself a few times when I go to bed at night!

"You should also know that with these two medals as a foundation, his promotion to military school is a sure thing."

Hearing this, the two nodded at the same time. This was clear to everyone in the 228th Regiment who knew the new recruit Jiang Chen.

As a student at a prestigious university, he has won a second-class merit and now a third-class merit. It would be a waste if he doesn't go to a military academy for further studies.

"So, no matter which company he joins, he's destined not to stay long, at most one year..."

The political commissar raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them. Although he didn't say anything, Feng Yao and Lei Zhenjun both understood the meaning of his words.

It is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Chen will be promoted to a military academy for further studies.

In other words, even if they managed to get the person, they wouldn't be able to keep him for long. If the army didn't have a hard target for promotion and required one year of service, they probably wouldn't even have that much time.

"In addition, no matter which company Jiang Chen ends up going to, you all have to help him clear the obstacles before he is promoted.

Party members who have served as squad leaders for more than half a year must do these two things. "

The two looked at each other and nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I will personally write him a letter of recommendation for joining the party!"

"There's no problem on my side. He's just a squad leader. If Ge Hongtao can't handle it, he can pick any of the other two companies in our reconnaissance battalion!"

Neither of them was stupid. Although Jiang Chen could only work under them for a year at most, this was enough.

Don't forget that there is a rule in the military academy that after graduation, soldiers who are promoted to officers will, in principle, be given priority to return to their original war zone units and serve in grassroots positions in units below the division level.

If he could get this person now, when Jiang Chen returns from the military academy in two years, wouldn't he have another platoon leader with strong capabilities and solid theoretical knowledge under his command?

No matter how you look at it, this is not a loss.

What they can think of, the regiment commander and the political commissar can naturally think of as well.

The only difference is that the two of them know more information and think further.

Military reform is imminent, and some rumors have already leaked out from the military.

As the main force of the C Army on the southeastern border, the 31st Division naturally bore the brunt of the attack, and the 228th Regiment, as its subordinate main force, could not remain immune.

Feng Yao's police detective company is still okay. The fact that the higher-ups agreed to restore the police detective company's organization speaks volumes.

On the other hand, it is hard to say about Lei Zhenjun’s reconnaissance battalion.

A regimental-level unit has four fully-staffed reconnaissance companies scattered under its command, which account for more than one-third of the main combat force. It seems a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.

There was no other way before. Due to limited technology and conditions, some problems could only be solved by manpower.

just now……

Zheng Xingguo had already prepared himself for the consequences of this military reform.

At the same time, as a regiment commander, especially a regiment commander stationed on the border, the combat effectiveness of his troops is the first issue he has to consider.

Once the reconnaissance battalion is forced to reorganize, a large number of positions will inevitably be vacant.

At this time, how to quickly fill these vacancies and ensure that the overall combat effectiveness does not decline will test the talent pool of their regiment and his ability to identify people as the regiment leader.

Jiang Chen is not the first, and certainly not the last.

Therefore, the regiment commander and the political commissar had already reached a consensus on his allocation.

If he is willing to go to the reconnaissance battalion, that would be the best. Then, after graduating from the military academy, he can go directly back to his old unit and it will be easier to get started.

Of course, if he wants to go to the police detective company, that's fine too. After the military reform is completed, the police detective company will most likely take over some of the responsibilities that originally belonged to the reconnaissance battalion and be reorganized into a reconnaissance company directly under the regiment. Feng Yao, the chief of staff, will no longer continue to be in charge of the affairs of the reconnaissance company.

How they will develop in the future and whether the reconnaissance company can take on the responsibilities that originally belonged to the reconnaissance battalion depends on their own hard power.

Both paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although Zheng Xingguo is the head of the group, he does not want to decide the future for others.

Therefore, the two finally decided to give the choice to Jiang Chen himself.

Anyway, every time several companies under his command compete for a new recruit at the same time, the recruit's own wishes will be taken into consideration in the end.

It also saves you and others from being branded as biased by your subordinates.

After listening to the political commissar's explanation, Feng Yao and Lei Zhenjun were not too surprised.

However, compared to Lei Zhenjun's happiness, Feng Yao's face did not have as many smiles.

The reason why he rushed over first was that he didn't want things to get to this point. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived and before he could even open his mouth, Lei Dapao followed him.

Alas, I can only say that it is fate.

However, he was not completely without chance. Feng Yaoneng was able to recruit people from all over the 228th Regiment with few failures, so how could he not be prepared?

On the other side, Ge Hongtao had just returned to the camp with the new recruits when he was blocked in the office.

In the company commander's office, Ge Hongtao was recreating the famous scene of Prime Minister Zhuge's "debate with the scholars".

He faced six company commanders alone but was not at all inferior.

Listening to the noise coming from inside, Zhao Hongbin and Li Gang looked at each other. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have laughed out loud.

Unfortunately, the two of them didn’t have time to be happy. Just as they sent away a few tigers that wanted to rob people, they saw a group of hungry wolves surrounding them.

Compared with the previous company commanders, these guys are really difficult to deal with.

"Hey, isn't this Zhao Tieniu? How are you doing in the recruit company? Do you miss us?"

"Get lost! Why don't you stay in your own company base? Why are you coming here?" Ignoring the man's teasing, Zhao Hongbin frowned and stared at the other person with a vigilant look.

Li Gang next to him also looked unhappy.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

These guys in front of me are not good people. They come to the recruit company at this time. I am afraid they have no good intentions.

"Haha, look at what you said, brother. I saw that you were leaving soon, so I came to see you and reminisce about the past with you brothers." Faced with Zhao Hongbin's obviously sarcastic tone, the visitor was not annoyed and still had a smile on his face.

"Haha, this must be Li Gang, right? I'm Jiang Zhou's squad leader. I always hear Jiang Zhou mention you. Thanks to you for bringing up such an outstanding recruit..."

Several people surrounded the two men without saying anything, and kept talking to them without giving them a chance to react.

On the other side, in the dormitory building, Jiang Chen had just finished washing up and returned to the dormitory when he heard noise coming from the door.

An old soldier pushed open the door of the fifth squad dormitory and shouted inside: "Deputy squad leader of the fifth squad, is Jiang Chen back?"

"Report, squad leader, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Chen quickly stood up and replied.

He was no stranger to this veteran, as he was one of the soldiers in charge of patrolling the sentry post at the recruit camp.

"I'm not looking for you. Someone downstairs is looking for you. I just came over to say hello." Facing Jiang Chen, the old soldier didn't put on airs and said with a smile.

The other people in the dormitory watched the two people leave. Although they were a little curious, they didn't think anything of it.

They just thought that one of the squad leaders had something to do with their deputy squad leader again. Ever since Jiang Chen finished the 400-meter obstacle course, the veteran squad leader would come to him every once in a while to keep in touch with him. Everyone in Class 5 was no longer surprised by this.

"Squad leader, who is looking for me?"

When going downstairs, Jiang Chen secretly glanced downstairs and saw a man in military uniform standing downstairs. He couldn't see who it was, so he could only ask curiously.

"Haha, you'll know when you get to it."

Unfortunately, no matter how he asked, the veteran squad leader just said this.

Helplessly, Jiang Chen could only suppress his curiosity. It didn't matter what the time was.

Walking downstairs, Jiang Chen was stunned when he saw the figure standing outside. He didn't expect that the person looking for him would be Jiang Zhou!

"What are you standing there for? Don't you recognize me?" Jiang Zhou greeted with a smile.

Jiang Chen also reacted and saluted, then smiled and said, "How could that be possible? If it weren't for your help, Squad Leader Jiang, I would have been blocked at the door by the patrol."

"Haha, you are really something. This is the first time I've seen a new soldier being chased by police all over the street."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but smile.

Being chased by pickets is nothing, but it is rare for a new recruit to be chased by pickets.

Anyway, Jiang Zhou has been in the army for so long, and he has never heard of any new recruit being chased around by patrol officers before he even joined the company.

However, thinking about what the chief of staff had told him, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but twitch his smiling mouth.

Damn, what is this? I am just a private, why was I assigned such a task for no reason?

After a few simple greetings, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Captain Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Glancing in the direction of the recruit company headquarters, Jiang Zhou said with a smile, "Let's talk while we walk."

As he said that, he took Jiang Chen towards the playground behind the dormitory building.

On the other side, Zhao Hongbin and Li Gang, who had finally gotten rid of the entanglement, had just returned to the dormitory building when they heard that Jiang Chen had been taken away.

"Fuck, who is that person who doesn't follow the rules? Don't let me catch him, or I'll skin him alive!" Li Gang couldn't sit still anymore. He casually asked in which direction the two men left and prepared to chase after them.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongbin grabbed him in time.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Even if so many company commanders come in person, it's useless. He's just a non-commissioned officer. How can he cause any trouble?"

"But……"

That was true, but the closer it got to the end, the more worried Li Gang became.

I have worked so hard to train a new recruit for such a long time, if he is poached at the last minute...

"Go find the company commander first. As long as our company commander doesn't give in, unless the regiment commander and political commissar come in person to ask for the person, no one else can help!"

As they spoke, the two of them rushed towards the company headquarters again.

On the playground, Jiang Zhou was describing to Jiang Chen the benefits of joining the police detective company in accordance with the instructions of the chief of staff.

First of all, the first police detective company is a unit directly under the regiment, and its base is located inside the regiment headquarters.

Putting aside other benefits, it is much more convenient than other companies in daily life.

There is a supermarket inside the regiment headquarters, and you can go shopping in the county town when you have time during holidays.

This alone is attractive enough.

Not to mention, there are other hidden benefits.

For example, the direct supervisor of the police detective company is the chief of staff with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

In other companies, unless something happens, it is almost impossible to encounter a colonel-level officer.

This is true even if this colonel-level officer is your battalion commander.

But it is a different story in the Police Detective Company. Not to mention the leaders who usually come in and out of the regiment headquarters, the chief of staff will come to the Police Detective Company every two days.

And this is often how opportunities arise.

In addition, as a unit directly under the regiment, the police detective company has no difference in treatment from the reconnaissance battalion, but the resources that can be mobilized are very different.

To give a very simple example, the police detective company can apply to use the regiment's aviation corps' helicopters at any time.

On the other hand, although the reconnaissance battalion also has the right to apply for use, it is far less convenient and quick than theirs.

After all, Feng Yao wasn't the regiment's chief of staff for nothing...
