My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Political Department Office?!"

Chu Fei thought of countless possibilities and outcomes. He wanted to go to the reconnaissance company, the guard company, the infantry company, the artillery company, and even thought about going to the kitchen with Fatty Sun...

But I never thought about sitting in the office.

Yes, Chu Fei is uneducated, a playboy, and lawless.

Since childhood.

However, he is also a child who grew up listening to his grandfather's stories.

He has the same feelings and yearning for the army and soldiers as anyone else.

If not for this, given his personality, if he really didn't want to join the army, how could he be convinced by just a few words?

It would be useless even if this person was his father.

The three months in the recruit company made Chu Fei understand a lot.

There are many things that I knew before but now don’t understand.

I also understand why the old man misses the old days so much.

Life was obviously hard back then, we couldn’t even get enough to eat, and we could lose our lives at any time…

But every time my grandfather talked about it, there was a smile on his face.

It has nothing to do with national justice or personal honor or disgrace.

Just because he was surrounded by a group of like-minded brothers at that time.

Chu Fei knew that his personality was not suitable for being a soldier, and he was not cut out to be a soldier, but he still came, without hesitation.

During the three months in the recruit company, Chu Fei experienced setbacks, pain, and depression, and was exhausted like a dog every day, but he did not regret his decision to join the army.

Now, three months have passed and he is about to leave his status as a recruit and become a real soldier.

but……

Chu Fei wanted to yell, to question, or even to make a scene regardless of the consequences.

But he finally endured it.

Just because he is a soldier now and wears a military uniform.

Besides, what was he supposed to question?

Are you questioning why you were assigned to an office?

Chu Fei laughed at himself. Is there anyone in the entire recruit company who was assigned a better position than him?

No need to be tired like a dog all day, no need to go into the woods, no need to eat insects, no need to go over mountains and ridges for labor training, and no need to encounter danger. All you need to do every day is sit in the office and enjoy the air conditioning...

Isn't he satisfied with this kind of life? Does he have to question his mother why she used her connections to assign him to this kind of place?

As soon as Chu Fei heard the words "Political Department Office", he guessed who was behind this.

His grandfather wouldn't do such a thing.

Based on Chu Fei's understanding of his grandfather, not assigning him to the hardest and most tiring task was already a great favor from the old man.

Not to mention going to the office to "enjoy a leisurely life".

His father would definitely not do such a thing.

Although his father took the civilian route and had little experience at the grassroots level, and later chose to retire from the army to do business, he has never forgotten his time in the army, and even expressed many times his regret for choosing the wrong major and not being able to truly experience the feeling of "serving in the army to defend the country."

Not to mention, the reason he came to the army was because he got into big trouble at home, and his father had no other choice but to think of sending him to the army for reformation. Naturally, it would not be a waste of time.

So, the result is obvious.

"Forget it. I didn't plan to stay in the army anyway. It's so comfortable to work in the office. I guess Qiangzi and the others must be going crazy with envy..." Chu Fei comforted himself in his heart.

However, looking at the other people in the same class, they were either assigned to the reconnaissance company or the guard company, or at worst, the reconnaissance company's cooking squad...

Chu Fei had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

On the other side, Ge Hongtao also announced the whereabouts of the last person in Class 5.

"Jiang Chen!"

"To!"

"Reconnaissance Battalion 1, Company 3!"

"Yes!"

Hearing/seeing the result, Ge Hongtao couldn't help but smile even though he already knew the result.

Zhao Hongbin, Li Gang, and Jiang Chen himself also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

The people who were sent by the nearby companies to pick up the new recruits couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard the result.

Especially the other two companies in the reconnaissance battalion.

Although Jiang Chen had not yet been assigned to a company, his name and deeds had already spread throughout the 228th Regiment as the officers who had come to the regiment headquarters to watch the assessment of new recruits returned.

Suddenly such a good soldier emerges from the recruit company. Who wouldn’t be excited and want one?

However, in recent years, Chief of Staff Feng has gained too much reputation.

This led to the situation that after hearing the news, many people did not think about how to snatch people away, but instead wanted to "stand up for justice" for Ge Hongtao, the new recruit company commander.

Everyone thought that Ge Hongtao would also be working for nothing this time, but who would have thought...

After reading the list in his hand and making sure that no one was left out, Ge Hongtao, who had been serious but still had a hint of anger on his face, looked at the recruits who had already lined up in teams and were ready to board the bus. He suddenly smiled and said to them loudly: "Congratulations, the recruit company has graduated!!!"

There was no applause, let alone cheers.

Because, as Ge Hongtao finished speaking, the squad leaders from various companies who had been waiting nearby began to loudly urge them to get on the bus and set off.

After boarding their company's vehicles, many people subconsciously looked back at the recruit camp where they had lived for three months.

This is the beginning of their military career and where they transform from an ordinary person into a soldier.

Watching their comrades leave, a trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of Li Qiang, Chu Fei, Luo Ming and Lin Wenbo, the four new recruits who were left behind in the units directly under the regiment headquarters.

On the troop transport truck of the reconnaissance battalion, Jiang Chen, Zhang Meng and Sun Weichen were squeezed at the very edge. Through the gaps in the canvas, they were also looking at this first company they had seen since arriving at the army.

Goodbye, recruit company!

……

The 228th Regiment's auxiliary defense area was very large. It consisted of three battalions and various directly affiliated companies, totaling fourteen companies, which were scattered around the regimental headquarters like stars in the sky.

The reconnaissance battalion's base had just been moved, and was only seven or eight kilometers away from the regiment headquarters. The military truck quickly arrived at its destination by shuttling through the mountains and forests.

"Brother Chen, goodbye!"

Zhang Meng followed the first company's team. The soldiers from the second company next to them greeted Li Gang and left with their men.

"Why are you standing there? Follow me."

"Oh."

Without giving them a chance to say goodbye, Li Gang took the two of them directly towards the barracks of the third company.

When they arrived at the camp gate and greeted the sentry, the three of them saw two officers waiting at the gate as soon as they stepped into the camp gate.

"Instructor!" Li Gang hurried forward and saluted.

"Haha, I heard from Lao Ge that he snatched a new recruit from the chief of staff..." As he said this, the instructor looked past Li Gang and behind him.

Due to various reasons, the third company only has two vacancies for new recruits this year.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the instructor and the lieutenant, even Jiang Chen felt a little uncomfortable, let alone Sun Weicheng.

Fortunately, they had squad leader Li Gang standing beside them. He glanced at Sun Weicheng who was clearly a little too nervous, and quickly stepped forward to introduce them: "Instructor, platoon leader, this is Jiang Chen, and the one next to him is Sun Weicheng."

Hearing the name Jiang Chen, not only the instructor and the platoon leader, but also several sentries standing guard nearby looked over subconsciously.

Being stared at by so many people, especially the platoon leader behind the instructor, their eyes looked as if they wanted to strip him naked.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Jiang Chen didn't feel too bad.

Although he was not talented in his previous life, he could be considered knowledgeable, and he had the confidence brought by the golden finger.

Jiang Chen was not at all nervous. On the contrary, he seemed to be taking the initiative. He stood straight and looked straight ahead, meeting the scrutinizing gaze in front of him without giving way.

"Good, good, he is indeed a good candidate for a soldier!" Finally, the instructor broke the silence. He stepped forward and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder, then turned to Li Gang next to him and said, "The new recruits have just arrived, so don't do any training today. Let them have a good rest, and I will give you an extra meal in the afternoon!"

"Yes, instructor!"

After watching the two people leave, Sun Weichen, who was so nervous that his calves were about to tremble, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fine when he was in the recruit company, after all, there were many of them, so he didn't feel anything even if the regiment commander and the political commissar came.

But when he was facing two officers alone just now, especially when the platoon leader's eyes fell on him, for a moment Sun Weichen even thought that the person standing opposite him was not a person but a ferocious beast that would choose its prey.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You haven't done anything just after arriving here, but you look like you're about to give up." Li Gang, who returned to the reconnaissance company, seemed like a different person. He was not as serious as he was in the recruit company. Looking at Sun Weichen, whose forehead was almost sweating, he smiled and teased.

"Squad leader..." Sun Weicheng looked at Li Gang aggrievedly. Jiang Chen couldn't help but get goose bumps when he saw that little expression.

"Okay, why didn't I realize you were so hypocritical before? I'll take you to the kitchen first. Jiang Chen, wait for me at the door."

"Yes!"

……

Five minutes later, after sending Sun Weicheng back, Li Gang took Jiang Chen towards the dormitory building.

On the way, Li Gang introduced him as he walked: "The captain just now is our instructor Deng Chang, and the lieutenant next to him is our platoon leader Li Cheng.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that you are assigned to the third class in the first row, the same class as mine."

"Class monitor, are you the monitor of our class?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Li Gang rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, if I wasn't a squad leader, I would have gone to the recruit company if I had lost my mind."

"To be precise, I am still the acting squad leader. Our previous squad leader just retired not long ago. It will probably take another month or two before the word "acting" can be removed." Li Gang did not forget to explain.

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding. He had asked similar questions before when he was in the recruit company.

However, at that time, it was uncertain whether he could be assigned to his own company, and neither Li Gang nor Zhao Hongbin mentioned this.

"Hey, squad leader, then Platoon Leader Zhao is..."

"Haha, of course Brother Bin is also the class monitor, he is also in our row.

But Brother Bin is a veteran squad leader, and he used to be my squad leader.”

The two chatted quietly and unknowingly arrived at the downstairs of the dormitory.

It was still on the third floor, room 303, in the dormitory of class 3.

It was training time and no one else in the class was there except Jiang Chen and Li Gang.

Li Gang tidied up his bed and moved to the upper bunk.

"Squad leader, how about I sleep on top?" Jiang Chen said a little embarrassedly as he looked at his actions.

"Haha, this is an old rule in our army. When new recruits just join the company, the old soldiers have to take care of the new recruits and give up their lower bunks." Li Gang moved his bed to the upper one and explained with a smile.

"Then...okay..."

In fact, if he had a choice, Jiang Chen would rather sleep on it himself.

Sleeping on the same bunk with the squad leader, and even on the lower bunk, doesn't that mean that I have to be watched all the time, and nothing I do can escape the squad leader's eyes?

Somehow, Jiang Chen inexplicably recalled the time when he first arrived at the recruit company.

It's really uncomfortable to go to the toilet at night and be screened inside and out.

Unfortunately, the situation before him obviously did not allow him to make a choice, and Jiang Chen could only bite the bullet and clean up the lower bunk vacated by Li Gang.

After making the bed in no time, Li Gang, who had been waiting by the side, continued, "Put the other things in the closet for now. I'll take you to get the gun first."

After joining the company, you are no longer in a recruit company.

In the reconnaissance company, guns are assigned to specific people, and the guns do not need to be stored in the warehouse at night.

Of course, bullets cannot be distributed. The corresponding amount of ammunition will only be distributed before a mission or action.

Jiang Chen thought that he would be able to use the Type 95 rifle when he came to the reconnaissance company, but he did not expect that the rifle he received was Type 81. This made Jiang Chen, who was originally full of expectations, inexplicably disappointed.

As a member of the Gun Clan, they made their debut in 97 and had been in service until the time he traveled through time, when they had not yet completely retired.

No matter how many advantages and disadvantages it has, the Type 95 automatic rifle is undoubtedly the most well-known gun in China.

I have already joined the army as a soldier, and I am still a scout. If I can't even use the Nine Five...

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Jiang Chen was a little dazed, Li Gang thought he was not used to the environment of the reconnaissance company, so he gently pushed him and asked.

"No squad leader, I just thought of the Type 95 automatic rifle I saw on the news earlier. I thought our reconnaissance company would be issued the Type 95.

I didn't expect that it would still be the 81 bar after using it for so long." Jiang Chen raised the 81 bar in his hand and explained.

"Wow, I didn't realize you know so much. You even know about the Type 95 automatic rifle?" Li Gang didn't expect Jiang Chen to say that, and he couldn't help but become interested for a moment.

There is no man who doesn't like to wield swords and guns.

This is especially true for soldiers.

Everyone is curious about the Type 95 automatic rifle that has been confirmed and is about to be equipped on a large scale. No matter you are in the front-line troops or the logistics troops, as long as you are a soldier, there is no one who is not interested in or curious about this gun.

As a scout, Li Gang is no exception.

"Hehe, squad leader, I just heard it from others, just hearsay..." Jiang Chen pretended to be stupid.

"Haha, it's been several years since Jiuwu's debut, so it's normal to have heard of it."

It was still early for the training to end and there was nothing much to do, so Li Gang simply started talking to Jiang Chen about the Type 95 automatic rifle.

"In fact, our regiment has already equipped a small number of Type 95 automatic rifles."

"I know this. It's the Chief of Staff's police investigation company." Jiang Chen said directly without hiding anything.

Upon hearing this, Li Gang looked at Jiang Chen with interest and no longer paid attention to Jiuwu's affairs. Instead, he was curious about what conditions the chief of staff had offered him at that time.

There was no need to hide this matter. If Li Gang really wanted to know, he could just go find Jiang Zhou. Jiang Chen simply told him directly.
