My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Ouch!"

"Hiss...ah..."

Just because Jiang Chen is fine doesn’t mean that others are fine.

The five-kilometer long-distance run is beyond the limit of most people, and the first feeling of almost all the recruits in the entire recruit company when they wake up is that their legs are extremely sore, as if they are not their own.

"Sergeant, my legs hurt so much, can I ask for a leave today?" A new recruit howled and asked Li Gang next to him.

"What are you all yelling about? It's just a five-kilometer run!" Li Gang rejected the new recruit's request for leave without even thinking.

"There will be many similar things in the future. Do you really want to take leave every day?"

After scolding the new recruit, Li Gang couldn't help but muttered, "I've been in the army for five or six years and haven't had many vacations. How can you, a new recruit, ask for leave right after you get here?"

This is also the current situation of most soldiers in the army. There are only so many places for vacation every year, and they are on the border, so the opportunities for vacation are even fewer.

Li Gang has been in the army for six years, and he only got a vacation to go home two years ago.

Putting aside his longing for his hometown and parents, Li Gang continued his work of waking up the new recruits.

He called everyone one by one. Most people, no matter how sleepy they were, forced themselves to get out of bed in a daze after being called by Li Gang. However, there were a few exceptions.

Chu Fei was lying on the bed, pulling the quilt up while bargaining with Li Gang.

"Squad leader, can you please let me sleep for ten more minutes? Just ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will definitely get up!"

Chu Fei was not the only one who stayed in bed. Luo Ming, who slept next to him, did the same.

"Squad leader, I really can't do it anymore. I didn't fall asleep until after 12 o'clock last night, and I only slept for four hours. Please let me sleep for a while, just a little while..."

This was nothing. Although Chu Fei and Luo Ming were bargaining with the squad leader, at least they were awake. There was someone even more outrageous next to them.

Li Gang shouted around in the dormitory, and the squad leaders of other classes were also shouting at the new recruits to get up. However, despite the loud noise, Li Qiang seemed to be oblivious to it and continued to snore loudly, unaffected at all.

Ignoring the begging voices around him, Li Gang looked at the few people who had not yet gotten up and said coldly, "I'll count down to ten. Those who haven't gotten up yet will bear the consequences!"

After saying that, Li Gang stopped talking nonsense and started counting down.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."

Faced with Li Gang's serious expression and chilling words, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer. Resisting the sleepiness and soreness in his legs, he climbed out of bed tremblingly and put on his clothes obediently.

Some people did not take Li Gang's threats seriously at all. They just covered their heads with quilts and pretended they heard nothing.

"one!"

Looking at the few people still lying in bed, Li Gang's already dark face became even gloomier.

With a sneer on his lips, he didn't urge them to get up. He picked up the small yellow basin in the corner, turned around and walked out of the dormitory.

Everyone in the dormitory looked at each other, and after Li Gang left, they began to murmur.

"What is the squad leader going to do?"

"Take the little yellow basin out, you won't want..."

"It's not that cruel, at most it's just to scare them, are you really going to splash them with water?"

"Haha, what do you think this place is? This is a military unit, nothing is impossible!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the somewhat confused minds immediately became clear. Some guys who had wanted to take a nap while the squad leader was away no longer dared to lie down on the bed. They quickly stood up, picked up the clothes beside them and put them on.

"Go and call them again. Don't wait for the teacher to come back with water."

Where is the army?

Obeying orders and prohibiting them is the most basic requirement.

Jiang Chen had no doubt that when Li Gang came back, if those people still dared to stay in bed, they would definitely be greeted with a basin of cold water that would pour down their throats from head to toe.

We are all comrades living in the same dormitory. We can't just watch them take a cold shower early in the morning.

Jiang Chen came to the beds of Li Qiang and Chu Fei and called them to get up, while motioning Zhang Meng beside him to call Luo Ming next to him.

When they first arrived yesterday, these two guys looked quite normal, but their true colors were revealed after just one night.

Jiang Chen was actually not that surprised by the performance of these two people.

From yesterday's interactions, he could tell that these two guys were definitely not "good guys" when they were in school.

If it goes as expected, they are basically the "certain people, bad apples, troublemakers, rats, a few students, and even worse..." that the teachers talk about.

These people have extremely rich experience in struggle and know very well how to bargain and play the victim. And because they have been in an unorganized and undisciplined state for a long time, they often make some drastic actions when faced with sudden control.

The reason why Jiang Chen knows this group of people so well is because he was also a member of this group in his previous life. What the teacher said was even worse...

Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't need to guess what would happen when Li Gang came back.

It’s a pity that Chu Fei and the others didn’t understand his good intentions at all and continued to lie in bed.

"I'll take a nap for a while. I'll get up when the monitor comes back."

Chu Fei buried his head in the quilt, not taking Jiang Chen's words to heart at all.

As for Li Qiang next to him.

Well, Jiang Chen shouted for a long time, but this guy didn't respond at all. I don't know if he really didn't hear it or was pretending to sleep...

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

Helplessly, Jiang Chen had to give up. He thought that after learning a lesson, these guys would learn their lesson.

A minute later, Jiang Chen had just put on his clothes and put away the mosquito net over the bed when he saw Li Gang walking in with a full basin of water.

"This is my last warning to you. Get up!" Li Gang gave his final warning when he came to the few people who were still lying in bed without moving.

A few recruits who were originally sitting on the bed and taking their time to put on their clothes, when they saw the cold water almost overflowing from Li Gang's hand, they shuddered and did not dare to delay any longer, and jumped off the bed one after another like flying.

Perhaps because they had bargained without being punished before, they became bolder and thought that the army was no different from school.

They continued to lie in bed, not taking Li Gang's warning seriously at all.

The quilt covering Chu Fei's head moved, and he murmured inarticulately: "Squad leader, please, let me sleep for another ten minutes..."

"Hmph!" Looking at those people who refused to change their bad habits, Li Gang snorted coldly. Without any hesitation, he walked to Li Qiang's bed with two steps carrying water.

Looking at Li Qiang who was still snoring, Li Gang reached out and patted his face. Seeing that there was still no response, he simply picked up the small yellow basin and poured the water on his head.

"what!!"

After a basin of cold water was poured over his head, Li Qiang immediately let out a scream and jumped up from the bed.

However, before he could figure out what was happening, his head hit the steel pipe on the upper bunk, causing him to grimace in pain.

"It turns out that this guy really didn't hear it just now!" Seeing Li Qiang's reaction, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think in his heart.

He thought that this guy was pretending to be asleep, but he didn't expect that he was really fast asleep.

However, the quality of sleep is too good. He can't even be woken up by such a loud noise?!

"Class...Class monitor..." Li Gang said a little confusedly after jumping off the bed and rubbing his head.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll give you two minutes. Put on your clothes and wait over there!" Li Gang snorted unhappily after glancing at the guy.

"Oh, oh, okay..." Although he didn't know what happened, looking at Li Gang's face as red as the bottom of a pot, Li Qiang tactfully didn't say much.

"Squad leader, squad leader, I'm getting up, I'm getting up now!"

Chu Fei, who was lying on the bed next to him, had his head covered with the quilt, but he had obviously heard the noise outside. He didn't dare to stay in bed any longer and made a move to get up.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Chu Fei had just lifted the quilt and said something when he felt his body lighten. The quilt was pulled off by someone, and a basin of cold water was poured on his face.

"Fuck, are you crazy? I told you to get up right away, are you deaf?"

Having been used to being arrogant and domineering since childhood, Chu Fei had never suffered such a big loss. He immediately exploded and jumped off the bed, pretending to pounce on him.

However, just as he made a move, he felt his feet slip and he fell to the ground with his head tilted back.

On the other side, Li Gang, who had already transferred the small yellow basin to his left hand, put down his right arm that he had just raised, glanced at Jiang Chen who had walked over at some point, then stared at Chu Fei on the ground and said coldly: "What do you think this place is? Is it your home?!"

"This is the military! You are a soldier now. You must obey orders. Do you understand these four words?!"

"Right now, right now, get up and do 100 push-ups in the hallway!"

Chu Fei, who originally had a fierce look on his face as if he was ready to fight to the death, calmed down for some reason after meeting Li Gang's cold eyes. He stood up by holding the bed board beside him, no longer looking as aggressive as before.

Jiang Chen, who was ready to intervene at any time, was also a little confused when he saw Chu Fei's performance.

However, he quickly adjusted himself, and his heart, which had been in his throat, slowly relaxed.

Just now, Chu Fei jumped off the bed and was about to fight to the death with Li Gang when he suddenly slipped. The person who tripped him from behind was naturally Jiang Chen.

For recruits, smoking is no big deal, playing with mobile phones is no big deal, and even throwing a tantrum and arguing with the squad leader is no big deal. But if you dare to fight with the squad leader, then it would be a big deal.

Especially since Li Gang was holding something in his hand just now, if he was careless for a moment, Chu Fei would have succeeded...

Even if he was just hit with a punch, given the protective nature of these officers in the army, he would definitely not escape the punishment of beating his superior and disobeying discipline.

Such a big incident happened at the very beginning of the recruit company. Not to mention what will happen to Li Gang later, it is a foregone conclusion that Chu Fei will be sent back to his hometown with punishment.

If Ge Hongtao and other senior leaders of the recruit company put some obstacles in the way, it is possible that he will be punished as a deserter.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, even if Chu Fei holds a grudge against him afterwards, Jiang Chen must take action.

He was not taking the blame on himself, nor was he doing this to show off, because among all the people present, only Jiang Chen knew the possible consequences of this matter.

……

Chu Fei and Li Qiang were in such a miserable state that Luo Ming, who was sleeping in the next bed, saw that the situation was not good and had already climbed out of bed.

At this time, he was standing aside obediently, stealing glances at Li Gang with evasive eyes.

"Hmph, do you want to do it by yourself, or do you want me to help you?" Turning his head and glancing at Luo Ming, Li Gang snorted coldly.

"Sergeant, don't bother yourself, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself..." Compared to Chu Fei, who acted impulsively and wanted to compete with Li Gang, Luo Ming was undoubtedly much more tactful.

His performance also made Jiang Chen feel relieved.

"What are you looking at? Thirty seconds, get dressed and line up!"

Li Gang glared at the people who were still standing there in a daze, and then pointed at the two people who were soaking wet beside him: "You two, clean up the water on the ground."

"Yes!"

……

Two minutes later, except for Chu Fei who was still doing push-ups in the corridor, everyone was neatly dressed and lined up in the middle of the dormitory waiting for Li Gang's next instructions.

Holding his quilt, he walked to the front of the team, squatted down and said, "Now I will teach you the first lesson of housekeeping, folding the quilt!"

"Look carefully, how I folded it."

After saying this, Li Gang spread out his quilt on the ground and began to demonstrate on the spot.

His movements looked simple and easy, but only those who experienced it personally would know how difficult they were.

In his previous life, after playing Soldier Assault for who knows how many times, the hot-blooded Jiang Chen had tried something similar, and for this he had searched for various tutorials on the Internet.

But the final result...

The veterans' quilts have been pressed repeatedly over the years, and the cotton inside has long been compacted. In addition, with the traces left by long-term folding, it doesn't take much effort to fold them into a standard tofu block.

Of course, this is also related to the experience accumulated over time.

Looking at the quilts of the new soldiers, they are all new quilts that have just been issued, and the cotton inside is still fluffy. In this case, if you want to fold them into a standard tofu block...

Unless you learn Xu Sanduo's method and wet the quilt with water, or ask those housekeeping models to do it yourself, otherwise, don't even think about folding tofu blocks that meet the standards.

"If you want to fold a quilt well, 30% depends on folding, and 70% depends on trimming!"

"Of course, your quilts are all new. It's basically impossible to fold them like mine right after you start, so my requirements are not high. Just make sure they are in the shape of tofu!"

At this point, Li Gang suddenly thought of something, looked up at everyone and solemnly warned: "I know that the Internet is well developed now, and some of you must have learned about some things in the army in advance, but I advise you not to do that!"

"Now is not the same as before. It doesn't matter if you can't fold it well. You can practice slowly, but don't try to be clever or take shortcuts!"

After putting the folded quilt back on the bed, Li Gang brought a new quilt.

"Watch out, everyone. I'm only going to teach you once. The quilt I fold will be the standard for you to pass!"

Li Gang also knew the condition of his quilt. If he really wanted to teach the new recruits, he had to use a new quilt.

Fortunately, although Li Gang is not a role model, in a unit like the 228th Regiment where everyone strives to be the best in everything, his housekeeping skills are naturally not bad. If he were placed in other companies, it would not be a problem for him to become a model of housekeeping.
