My Military Career in a Parallel World

"I should listen to the advice and eat my fill. I'd better keep my guard up!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen followed suit, picked up the clothes hanging beside the bed and put them on.

"That's right, our company commander always likes to do this every time a new recruit joins the company!

"I showed some mercy during the training just now, but I will make up for it tonight, so you should be more alert and don't sleep too deeply!" Fang Zheng reminded quietly.

"Okay, just keep it in mind. Go to sleep quickly. We have training tomorrow!" Just as he was about to lie down, Li Gang seemed to remember something. He stretched his head and looked at Jiang Chen on the lower bunk and reminded him, "I forgot to tell you that the company commander was away at noon, so we didn't have the company joining ceremony. We must make up for it tomorrow. Be mentally prepared."

"Yes, squad leader."

The dormitory became quiet. Others might have to be careful not to sleep too deeply, but Jiang Chen didn't care about that. He lay down, closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the dream space.

He has learned a lot of new things today, so he needs to make good use of his time and practice as much as possible.

Seeing Jiang Chen fall asleep as soon as he lay down, several veterans couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "He fell asleep as soon as he said he would. He is really bold!"

No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you have to wait until the whistle blows. Every second you can sleep is a second better. The others also fell asleep one after another.

Shh! Shhhhhhhhhhh…

The fact turned out to be just as everyone expected. Less than two hours after falling asleep, a burst of urgent whistles was heard downstairs.

"Wake up, emergency assembly!"

The veterans who had been on guard opened their eyes immediately after hearing the noise. Tang Junjie subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the door and was about to shout when he heard some noise coming from there. He took a closer look in the moonlight pouring in from the window and saw that Jiang Chen had climbed out of the bed at some point and was even starting to pack his backpack.

"Fuck, are all the new recruits so alert?!"

Tang Junjie was secretly surprised in his heart, and quickly climbed out of bed and started packing his things.

Lights were not allowed to be turned on during emergency assemblies, so everyone could only pack their things in the dark under the faint moonlight outside the window.

If this situation happened in a recruit company, chaos would be inevitable, but in the reconnaissance company, emergency assemblies were already commonplace for them.

Apart from the voice that just called everyone to get up, no one spoke anymore. Everyone lowered their heads and quickly packed up their things.

Jiang Chen was the first to wake up. He had practiced the emergency assembly process countless times. Except for the extra step of wearing weapons and equipment compared to the recruit company, Jiang Chen could complete the other steps with his eyes closed.

In just one minute, when the others had just packed their backpacks and put on their equipment, Jiang Chen had already completed all his work and was waiting at the gate with a gun in his hand.

"Good boy, you are still so fast. Is it useless to toss and turn before going to bed?" When Li Gang put on his clothes and turned around to get his gun, he happened to see Jiang Chen who was already dressed neatly and waiting at the door. He couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

"Hurry up, you veterans, but you're not as quick as a private soldier?!" Li Gang turned his head and shouted into the dormitory, then looked at Jiang Chen and said, "This is not a recruit company, you don't need to wait for others, come downstairs once you're done!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen didn't waste any words after hearing this. After agreeing, he pushed open the dormitory door and ran downstairs first.

It was just an emergency assembly and there was no need to collect ammunition without sounding the alarm. Even if there was, it was not his turn as a new recruit to worry about it.

Jiang Chen ran downstairs and heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The soldiers who had not yet packed up all quickened their movements at the same time.

At the same time, Jiang Chen, who was walking down the stairs, vaguely heard some scolding.

"Speed ​​up, everyone! Didn't you hear someone coming down from upstairs?!"

Jiang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and he rushed out of the dormitory building without slowing down.

Downstairs, Ge Hongtao looked down at his watch and chatted with his instructor Deng Chang from time to time.

Hearing the sound of someone running over, they both looked over.

"Wow, that bastard ran so fast, could it be that he hasn't slept all night and was waiting for me to blow the whistle!" Ge Hongtao lowered his head to confirm the time. The second hand had just pointed to five o'clock, and in less than a minute and a half, someone had already finished packing and came out.

Moreover, judging from the noise, it seems that the class is not living on the first floor, which is quite interesting.

As a rapid response force on call 24 hours a day, emergency assemblies are commonplace in the reconnaissance company.

Not every day, but at least four or five times a week, even during the weekends.

As a company commander, Ge Hongtao is very clear about the strength of his soldiers.

During every emergency assembly, there are only a few people who can gather the fastest. The soldiers living on the first floor are always one step ahead of others because of the geographical advantage.

But today seems to be an exception.

Just as they were thinking about it, Jiang Chen had already run up to the two of them and stood in front of them in the dark.

When I was in the recruit company, most emergency assemblies involved a whole squad moving together, and the dormitory for squad five was on the third floor just like it is now.

Even though Jiang Chen always opened his eyes and started moving as soon as the whistle sounded, by the time they went downstairs, other teams had already arrived.

So, when Ge Hongtao saw that the first person to come down the stairs was Jiang Chen, he was very surprised.

"Yeah." He nodded slightly. Although he didn't say much, the corners of Ge Hongtao's mouth were slightly raised in the dark night.

If the veterans of the third company could see their captain's current expression, they would definitely feel a chill on their backs and subconsciously become more alert.

Because, whenever Ge Keng showed this expression, it was 100% certain that he had thought of some trick to trick someone.

It’s likely that someone is going to be unlucky again!

As for the remaining 20%...

Naturally, everyone in the company would suffer together.

After Jiang Chen arrived first, more people came running over. In less than twenty seconds, all 128 people in the company had gathered.

Everyone thought it was just an ordinary emergency assembly, but under the light, when they saw the gloomy expression on the company commander's face, everyone's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The last few people who arrived quickly raised their wrists to check the time.

There is no timeout. What is the company commander trying to do?

Just when everyone was panicking, Ge Hongtao finally spoke.

"Shame on you, shame on you!!!"

"You're losing your people, and you're losing mine!"

Except for the third squad and a few veterans who arrived first who had a vague guess, everyone, including the three platoon leaders, were confused when they heard their company commander shout "shame on you" and did not understand what he meant by "shame on you".

How to embarrass yourself, and whose person are you embarrassing?

"Every one of them is a veteran who has served for at least two years. They muster up in emergency assemblies every day, but they are still not as fast as the new recruits who have just joined the company!

Don’t you think it’s shameful!!!”

brush brush...

All eyes were instantly focused on Jiang Chen, the first soldier in the first row with the rank of private on his collar.

What the hell?

This private was the first to arrive?!

"What are you looking at? How dare you look at it!" Ge Hongtao's voice rose a few notches again, and his face turned red due to congestion.

For some reason, it seemed as if her face turned red because of embarrassment.

Jiang Chen didn't know what the others were thinking. Being stared at by so many people at the same time, he just felt a chill on his back.

My dear Captain Ge, please stop talking.

I've only been here for less than a day, and you want to make me the public enemy of the entire company? !

If this wasn't a military unit, and if Ge Hongtao wasn't the company commander, he would have definitely gone up and covered Ge Hongtao's mouth the first moment.

Unfortunately, there is no if, Jiang Chen could only pray in his heart that Ge Hongtao would stop talking.

However, things always develop in the opposite direction. The more Jiang Chen didn't want him to speak, the more excited Ge Hongtao talked.

"A new recruit who just joined the company has already killed all of you. How dare you still look at me?"

"Isn't it embarrassing enough?!"

"Don't tell me there's no point in having an emergency assembly any sooner!"

"Tell me, what is the duty of a scout?!"

Without giving anyone a chance to speak, Ge Hongtao immediately shouted, "Prepare for war! Be ready for war at any time!"

"The reconnaissance company is a rapid response force on standby 24 hours a day!"

"The whistle of the emergency assembly is the clarion call to start the battle. Every minute and every second is crucial!"

"If we are one minute or one second faster, we might be able to save one more person, reach the enemy's position before them, and decide the victory of a battle!"

Ge Hongtao swept his sharp eyes across the team in front of him.

Those who were swept by him lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Humph!" Ge Hongtao snorted coldly: "I know that many of you are not convinced and think that the new recruits are just lucky."

"But what I want to say is, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Do you know why I blow the emergency assembly whistle at night?"

When many soldiers heard him ask this question, their first reaction was

Because I have free time, otherwise, what else could it be?

This is indeed the case. Ninety percent of the emergency assemblies in the Reconnaissance Company 3 were the result of the company commander Ge Hongtao getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or because he couldn't sleep and had nothing to do.

In the 3rd Reconnaissance Company, these are all well-known things.

There were only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

If not, why do you think everyone calls him Ge Dakengbi?

However, Ge Keng's strength lies in this aspect. As long as there is a slight opportunity, he can find an excuse to exploit it.

Ge Hongtao immediately said, "I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow to discuss this matter, but as soon as I closed my eyes, all I could think about wasting countless resources and ammunition, and your shooting skills are worse than a private's!"

what? !

Can this happen to me?

Jiang Chen was completely confused now.

What the hell is going on? It happened almost a day ago, and yet it’s still being brought up to make a fuss?

My dear Captain Ge, if you want to cause trouble, just do it, but can you please not use me as a shield?

"When I think of you idiots, I'm so angry that I can't sleep!"

"I thought you guys would give me some face by holding an emergency meeting, but I never thought..."

"One hundred and twenty-seven men are not as fast as one new recruit!"

"And what happened at the regiment headquarters before, the face of the scouts, the face of the third reconnaissance company, I am almost completely embarrassed by you!"

After these words were spoken, the soldiers from the other two platoons did not react much. The thirty-six soldiers from the second platoon, including Platoon Leader Yang Fan, who were sandwiched in the middle, lowered their heads at the same time.

"Do you know what people are saying outside now?"

"I'm Ge Hongtao, the captain of a reconnaissance company. The scouts I lead are not even as good as a single recruit in the recruit company!"

Wow~

If the above is just an appetizer, although everyone feels a little aggrieved, it will not cause too much harm.

Then what Ge Hongtao said just now definitely hit everyone's lungs hard.

"Jiang Chen!"

"To!"

"Exit!"

"Yes!"

Although he was extremely reluctant, Jiang Chen had no choice but to walk out of the team obediently.

In an instant, Jiang Chen could clearly feel more than a hundred pairs of angry eyes looking at him at the same time.

If looks could kill, he had no doubt that he would have been pierced by thousands of arrows and died countless times by now.

Even though they knew that Ge Hongtao's words just now were all excuses and he just wanted to make trouble for everyone, the facts were in front of them and they couldn't refute them even if they wanted to.

The private in front of him was indeed extraordinary.

Especially the second platoon leader Yang Fan's eyes were almost bursting with anger.

Ge Hongtao's words just now were equivalent to tearing open the wounds in their hearts that had already healed and displayed them in front of everyone.

Although the others didn't quite understand the cause and effect of the incident, Jiang Chen's performance yesterday afternoon and evening was enough to leave them speechless.

Especially those soldiers whose performance was not as good as Jiang Chen's, their cheeks flushed red and their fists were clenched tightly.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Ge Hongtao knew that his goal had been achieved.

With an inconspicuous glance at Jiang Chen, whose eyes were clearly filled with resentment, Ge Hongtao's mouth corners slightly raised, and then quickly returned to his previous gloomy expression.

He did not intend to target Jiang Chen, nor did he have any opinion about him.

It is not as easy as one might imagine for a private to become a squad leader, or a squad leader of a reconnaissance company. It is not as easy as one might imagine. It is not something that can be done by just giving an order from the company commander, battalion commander or even regimental commander.

Want to take shortcuts and break the constraints of rules.

Jiang Chen must first demonstrate his ability to convince everyone.

This is a risky move and also a test for Jiang Chen.

If he fails this test, Jiang Chen will still be promoted to the military academy to become an officer, and there will be no change in this.

But, in other aspects...

When Ge Hongtao heard about this matter from the regiment commander, he was firmly opposed to it.

Because, there is no need.

A 985 prestigious university student, one second-class merit and one third-class merit, whether in military quality or other aspects, Jiang Chen is not without shortcomings, but he is not far off.

At the very least, in terms of his performance in the recruit company, he definitely deserves the word excellent.

In the first year, a private soldier accumulates and consolidates his foundation. If his performance is not bad, he will serve as a deputy squad leader for half a year in the second year for training, and then go to the teaching team to study for two months. After the study, he will catch up with the recruit company to lead new recruits for three months.

After coming back, I worked as a squad leader for half a year and joined the party to meet the final requirement for promotion.

When the deadline is up, I will go to the military academy for further studies...

If everything goes well, Jiang Chen will be around 23 years old when he graduates from the military academy.

He served as acting platoon leader for a year, and after being promoted to regular officer, his rank was promoted to lieutenant.

The rank of lieutenant is enough to qualify him to serve as deputy commander of a company.

After a few more years of hard work, he will be promoted to captain...

At this time, Jiang Chen was at most 27 or 28 years old, at the peak of his career, and the colonel-level threshold was not difficult at all for a captain of this age.

This is the most suitable and reasonable arrangement that Ge Hongtao had expected.
