My Military Career in a Parallel World

Of course, it's good to lean on a big tree for shade. With the Chief of Staff, the third-ranking figure in the regiment, the police detective company enjoys far more benefits than these.

Putting aside other things, just in terms of weapons and equipment, they are far ahead of other companies.

If you want to see the Type 95 that hasn't been equipped yet in the lower companies, you can only try your luck. But in the police detective company, you can use it at will and get familiar with the weapons and equipment in advance.

This is nothing. The Type 95 is a standard equipment that will be put into service sooner or later. It is just a matter of sooner or later. Everyone can use it.

But some equipment is not so easy to come across.

There is no need to say how important night vision goggles are to scouts.

In an ordinary company, even a platoon may not be able to be equipped with one.

Even the reconnaissance company has at most one machine per squad.

However, a squad in the police detective company can be allocated at least five night vision devices, with an average of two soldiers using one night vision device.

Now is not a few decades later. Individual night vision goggles are absolutely high-tech products, and many technologies and parts have to be imported and purchased from abroad.

Even so, thanks to the krypton gold dog eye of the rabbit, a large part of the expenses were saved, otherwise...

Jiang Zhou also talked a lot about the advantages and benefits of the police detective company.

If Jiang Chen was just a young man who had just graduated from school and had not experienced the harshness of society, he would have been very excited after hearing this and would have imagined his life after joining the police detective company.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen can never go back to being eighteen years old. His body can, but his mind cannot.

Moreover, he believed that the development of the army would get better and faster. It would not be long before the weapons and equipment that were previously hard to come by would become standard equipment for soldiers in the near future.

Just when he was about to reject the olive branch offered by Chief of Staff Feng, Jiang Zhou threw out another big bomb.

He said in a tone full of envy: "The Chief of Staff asked me to tell you that if you are willing to join the police detective company, he can let you serve as the acting platoon leader for a period of time before you are promoted to the military academy!"

"Ah?" Jiang Chen scratched his ears subconsciously, thinking he was hallucinating.

Although the platoon leader is only one level higher than the squad leader, there is a huge difference between the two.

The squad leader is a soldier and the platoon leader is an officer, but they are in two completely different worlds with just one step difference.

If you want to be a squad leader, you just need to spend time with him. As long as you stay in the army, you will get there sooner or later.

However, the minimum requirement for a platoon leader is to be an officer.

This step alone killed 90 percent of the soldiers.

What's more, he is a private.

A private serving as a platoon leader?

Are you crazy, or am I crazy?

Even if he is the acting platoon leader, it is impossible!

Jiang Chen was just wondering if the Chief of Staff was just making empty promises and fooling him like a child when Jiang Zhou's next words finally cleared up his doubts.

“Of course, it’s impossible for a platoon leader of a formal company to do this. Even the chief of staff can’t do this.

But don’t forget where you are now.”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what Jiang Zhou meant.

Indeed, no matter how awesome Jiang Chen, a private, is, he cannot become a platoon leader in a regular army, not even as an acting commander, before graduating from the military academy.

But there is one exception.

Recruit company!

Except for the company commander and instructor who must be officers, there are no strict requirements for other positions such as squad leader and platoon leader.

No, to be precise, if you want to be a platoon leader in a recruit company, you must at least be a squad leader. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable and unacceptable.

However, one of Jiang Chen's promotion requirements was that he had to serve as a squad leader for at least six months.

So, I am the squad leader in my own company, and I want to be promoted to a platoon leader in the recruit company. Is there any problem?

no problem!

Although the identity of a private soldier is a bit eye-catching, no one can say anything as long as Jiang Chen performs well enough.

After all, the squad leaders and platoon leaders of the recruit company, in addition to their duties of teaching the recruits, are also a way for the army to train talents.

If you want to be promoted from a soldier to a squad leader, you usually have to go to the training team to study for a period of time. After coming back, you go to the recruit company to practice, and finally return to your own company to serve as a squad leader.

The same goes for the platoon leader.

Talents who have potential for training and meet the standards for promotion can be sent to the recruit company for training before officially entering the military academy for further studies. At the very least, they will have some experience in leading troops so that they will not be at a loss when they get started.

Of course, because it is too difficult to promote officers in the army and there are age restrictions, usually they are selected directly from veteran squad leaders.

However, it is not in vain that they come to the recruit company to serve as platoon leaders.

Apart from soldiers who were promoted due to their merit, when officers who graduated directly from military academies were transferred to grassroots companies, their experience and voice were mostly far inferior to those of an experienced squad leader.

Newcomers need to learn and adapt, but the troops will not stop and wait for you, nor will they lose combat effectiveness because of you. At this time, the role of these squad leaders is reflected.

It is true to say so, but it is not that easy to do in reality.

It is not easy for a private to become a squad leader, let alone a platoon leader, even if it is a platoon leader in a recruit company.

Jiang Chen expressed his doubts, but saw Jiang Zhou spread his hands and smiled: "So, our chief of staff is talking about the acting... platoon leader!"

"Acting? Platoon leader?" Jiang Chen frowned and thought for a moment before he understood what it meant.

Although, I don't know how Chief of Staff Feng will do it, but since he dared to let Jiang Zhou say this, I think he must have some confidence.

Although the conditions offered by the Chief of Staff were very tempting, Jiang Chen thought about it and finally told the truth.

"Captain Jiang, I'm just a new recruit. I'm afraid I can't choose which company to go to."

"Haha." Jiang Zhou patted his shoulder, looked at Jiang Chen seriously and said, "Don't underestimate yourself!"

As a former recruit who ranked first in the assessment and was able to obtain the third-class merit in the recruit company by his own ability, Jiang Zhou did not hide too much and directly told the truth about his experience when he was assigned to the company.

"Squad leader, you mean that if there are several companies competing for the soldiers' positions at the same time, the higher-ups will ask for the soldiers' personal opinions and choose the final company to be assigned to?"

"Well, that's about it. I was selected by both the reconnaissance company and the police detective company at the same time. In the end, I chose the police detective company."

"That's it..."

In fact, Jiang Chen was not surprised at what Jiang Zhou said. This was a very normal thing.

Although it may sound like self-boasting, it is the fact that talented people have certain privileges no matter where they go.

Jiang Chen had no idea how many times he had experienced similar things in his previous life.

The conditions proposed by Chief of Staff Feng were very high, no, it should be said that they were extremely high.

It is not easy to let a private be a platoon leader, even if it is just a platoon leader of a recruit company, and even if Feng Yao is a lieutenant colonel chief of staff.

The chief of staff was very sincere and the conditions he offered were even better.

but……

Jiang Chen looked towards the company headquarters of new recruits in the distance.

Yes, even if his body could go back to the age of eighteen, his heart could never go back to the age of eighteen.

It is said that young people talk about ideals, while adults talk about reality.

In terms of his actual age, Jiang Chen is already past the age of talking about ideals and is more accustomed to the so-called reality.

If we pursue maximizing profits, there is no doubt that Chief of Staff Feng's police investigation company is superior.

However, Jiang Chen felt an impulse in his heart.

Cross time and space, come to a new world, start a new life, and have a golden finger to help you!

Perhaps he doesn't need to pursue so-called reality too much.

To be more precise, Jiang Chen's real thoughts were...

I, Jiang Chen, am an adult, an adult with a golden finger.

and so……

Only children make choices, I want both ideal and reality!!!

What is the ideal?

Become an officer? Become a general?

No no no...

This should be called a dream.

Jiang Chen thinks that the so-called ideal should be an ideal society.

I am willing to repay kindness and revenge, and I am loyal and righteous. I will not betray others unless they let me down. I will repay kindness and revenge. If you respect me one inch, I will repay you one yard.

There aren't so many petty schemes, and there aren't so many choices of interests...

Although Jiang Chen knew that as time went by, the further he went, the ideal would be just an ideal after all, and everything still had to move towards reality, whether he was willing or not.

But at least now he has a choice and can choose!

Jiang Chen was brought to the army by Lu Ming from Qin Province. Li Gang was his squad leader, Zhao Hongbin was his platoon leader, and Ge Hongtao was his company commander.

Li Gang was the squad leader of his recruit company, the mentor of his military career, his teacher, his comrade-in-arms, and even more his brother.

Although Zhao Hongbin was not as familiar with him as Li Gang, Jiang Chen remembered that when he was in the hospital facing the knife-wielding gangster, it was he who created the opportunity for him to escape and he was also the first one to rush forward.

As for the company commander Ge Hongtao...

Mmp, although Ge Hongtao was a bit tricky, Jiang Chen was not a ignorant rookie. Jiang Chen could still see that Ge Hongtao valued and cultivated him.

The same goes for Lu Ming.

Sometimes targeting is also a form of training, especially in an environment like the military...

Thinking about the three months in the recruit company, Jiang Chen's eyes gradually became firm.

He decided to act on his own!

Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be promoted to a military academy. It doesn't make much difference whether I go to the reconnaissance company or the police detective company.

At most, you will just need to spend more time learning and adapting after you come back.

He is still young, he still has space for dreams, and the thing he lacks the least is time.

He can afford to waste this little bit of time!

Meeting Jiang Zhou's gaze, Jiang Chen answered firmly: "Squad leader, if possible, I still want to go to the reconnaissance company."

Jiang Zhou did not answer, just looked at the private in front of him who had just been given a military rank.

Their eyes met, and Jiang Zhou suddenly smiled: "Haha, I was thinking that after you become the platoon leader of the recruit company, I would take a good look at the faces of those veterans. It seems that I won't have the good fortune to do so."

"Anyway, I have completed what the company commander asked me to do."

"gone!"

"By the way, please tell the squad leader when you go back that I will treat him to a meal next time you come to the regiment headquarters."

Watching Jiang Zhou's leaving figure, Jiang Chen also smiled.

It seems that Squad Leader Jiang has been punished many times in the past, otherwise, why didn't he go and say it himself instead of asking someone to pass on the message?

Laughing and shaking his head, Jiang Chen turned and walked towards the dormitory.

On the other side, in the company commander's office.

Ge Hongtao lit a cigarette, opened the window and looked out. The entire recruit camp was in sight.

"Captain, please say something. We can't just stand there and do nothing!

How about I go talk to Jiang Chen?"

This was not the first time Zhao Hongbin came to the recruit company, so he was naturally very familiar with the ins and outs here, so he was so anxious.

Ge Hongtao leaned against the window sill, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said without turning his head: "No need, no matter how much you say, can the conditions you offer be comparable to those nouveau riche in the police detective company?"

"What should we do? We can't just watch them poach our people," Zhao Hongbin said unwillingly.

Li Gang moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.

As Jiang Chen's squad leader, he was indeed very angry when he first heard that Jiang Chen was taken away.

But when he came to his senses afterwards, Li Gang was not as angry as before.

He was angry because the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Two years ago, the chief of staff had already announced that he wanted Jiang Zhou as a soldier. Li Gang also knew that there was no chance, so he did not show too much excitement.

But this year is different. The company commander and instructor of the recruit company are all family members, and the platoon leader is also his old squad leader. Jiang Chen was brought up by him.

How could he not be angry when he heard that someone was trying to poach his girlfriend?

However, after calming down, Li Gang felt that perhaps he was a little too selfish.

There is no doubt that Jiang Chen is a good soldier.

No matter which company he goes to, it will not affect his future.

Judging from the current situation, it is obviously better to go to the police detection company than to the reconnaissance company.

After all, the police detective company is a company directly under the regiment, and it is protected by the chief of staff, the third-ranking figure.

The individual night vision goggles, which are treasured by the reconnaissance company, can be used at will by the police detective company.

They need to beg for help and have to consider other people's opinions to get a helicopter, but in the police detective company, it is just a matter of making a phone call.

Not to mention the food, the treatment of both sides is almost the same, but the other side has more funding.

With extra meals every day, the food standard is almost catching up with that of the military dogs in the military dog ​​brigade next door.

If it had been a few years earlier, when he had first joined the army, he would have chosen the police detective company without hesitation.

Just now Li Gang wanted to say that if he went to talk to Jiang Chen, he was very sure that he could keep Jiang Chen in the third company.

But he finally gave up.

Indeed, having Jiang Chen, a recruit destined to become an officer in the future, under his command could add a significant touch to his file, and might even play an important role when he signs on as a fourth or fifth term non-commissioned officer a few years later.

However, Li Gang asked himself if he could and did not want to do it because of his own selfish desires that would ruin Jiang Chen's bright future.

After figuring this out, he no longer worried about what happened before.

"What is ours will not escape, and what is not ours will not come to us!"

Putting out the cigarette in his hand and looking at the scenery outside the window, Ge Hongtao stretched lazily: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. I have done what I should and shouldn't do. The rest is up to fate."

"By the way, don't mention this matter when you two go back. Just pretend you know nothing about it."

"Company Commander..." Zhao Hongbin wanted to say something else, but Ge Hongtao interrupted him: "You have to walk your own path after all. We can try our best to fight for it, but we must never make decisions for others!"

It is true that Ge Hongtao is obsessed with soldiers, but he is also a soldier.

Whether it is snatching people or arguing with the chief of staff, his ultimate goal is to make the troops better and more combat-effective.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he will give up competing with the chief of staff for the person.

Looking at Zhao Hongbin and Li Gang, Ge Hongtao continued with a smile: "Of course, we still have to fight for what we should fight for.

Li Gang, when you go back, tell Jiang Chen about our conditions.

As for the final choice, it depends on him..."
