My Military Career in a Parallel World

The quartermaster and the kitchen staff counted the goods and after confirming that there were no problems, both parties completed the handover procedures.

Then, the group came to the cafeteria, where the kitchen squad leader personally cooked a table of delicious meals as a reward for the soldiers from the logistics department who delivered supplies to them overnight.

This means that you can't drink alcohol because you're going to drive later. Otherwise, the quartermaster will force you to have a few drinks with him.

There's nothing we can do about it, since the people in the logistics department are the bosses.

Even though these are just soldiers and the highest rank is only the third term, the quartermaster of the second battalion is already a fifth term non-commissioned officer. However, he is a member of the driver team of the logistics department responsible for transporting supplies.

The king of hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with!

This sentence is applicable everywhere.

They may not be able to decide big things, but they can decide the speed and order of delivering supplies.

Just like today, the relationship is good and they can sacrifice their rest time and deliver the supplies overnight at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

If the relationship is not good, unless there is an order from the superiors, I can find an excuse to delay it until tomorrow. I may even know that you are out of food at noon and send it in the evening. I am just trying to disgust you. What can you do?

Therefore, it is very necessary to build good relationships with these people.

What's more, they sacrifice their rest time and deliver supplies to you in the middle of the night, so there's nothing wrong with treating you to a meal.

In the kitchen tent, there was a simple long table, and a dozen soldiers were sitting around it, eating, drinking and chatting.

Outside, Jiang Chen brought the lieutenant officer to the location of the kitchen team.

"Chief, this is the kitchen." Jiang Chen pointed to the lighted tent in front and said.

The lieutenant nodded, smiled and thanked Jiang Chen, "Comrade, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Commander. This is what I should do." Jiang Chen replied, and then looked at the tent in front of him where the lights were on and he could vaguely hear the sound of conversation. He whispered, "Well, the kitchen team should have just finished loading and unloading supplies and are having dinner with the people from the logistics department. I won't go in."

"Well, thank you for your trouble." The lieutenant officer seemed to have thought of something and looked at Jiang Chen and continued, "I can't let you make such a hard trip in vain. So, you can bring some food back for supper later. It will be my thank you gift."

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse. He didn't know what would happen next. It didn't seem right to carry a bag of food with him...

However, the other party did not give him a chance to speak. Before Jiang Chen could say anything, the lieutenant had already lifted the door curtain and walked in.

When they saw the door curtain being lifted, everyone who was eating turned their heads to look over.

After seeing who was coming, the quartermaster and the head cook stood up quickly.

"Technician Wu, why did you come here in person? Old Huang, go and take out the lunch boxes that are warming in the steamer." The cook squad leader turned his head and shouted while greeting.

"Hey!" A non-commissioned officer wearing an apron who was squatting at the kitchen door responded.

"Technician Wu, the food is freshly prepared. If you don't mind, please stay and eat with us." The quartermaster stood up and invited him.

At the same time, he did not forget to introduce several people from the logistics department: "This is Technician Wu who was specially sent by the University of Science and Technology of China to our group to teach everyone."

"These are the comrades from the logistics department who are here to deliver supplies to us."

Upon hearing this, several soldiers from the logistics department also stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Chief!"

"Hello, comrades. Thank you for coming here so late."

Although the lieutenant officer is a civilian engaged in scientific research, he is not a nerd who is ignorant of the world.

In fact, this situation would never happen to officers who graduate from the University of Science and Technology of China.

Civilian officers are also soldiers and they still have to receive training in school, but the amount of training is not as large.

Compared to combat command, they put most of their attention elsewhere, which makes them seem a little naive.

"No, you guys eat. It's almost time for the shift change. I have to hurry back!"

Rejecting the quartermaster's invitation, the lieutenant took the still warm lunch box, turned around and prepared to leave.

The quartermaster walked forward to escort him out of the tent and happened to see Jiang Chen waiting not far outside the door.

"Technician Wu, he is..."

The lieutenant replied casually: "Ah, I just met a soldier on the road, so I asked him to help lead the way."

The quartermaster nodded when he heard this without thinking much about it, and the two of them stood there and chatted for a while.

Jiang Chen's heart tightened when he saw the sergeant next to the lieutenant glance in his direction, especially after he saw the man's rank clearly with the help of the light hanging at the door of the tent.

Wow, a fifth-term non-commissioned officer. How many years must he have been in the army?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be nervous. The fifth-term non-commissioned officer was really too scary.

Compared to the lieutenant who had just arrived at the Second Battalion, it was unknown how long this fifth-term non-commissioned officer had been in the army. It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he knew every soldier in the Second Battalion, but it was definitely no problem for him to know most of them, at least he was familiar with them.

Fortunately, I didn't get too close just now. The distance was so far, and it was dark, so the other person probably couldn't see my face clearly.

Seeing the two separate, the fifth-term sergeant turned back to the tent, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The lieutenant walked towards Jiang Chen, carrying a packed meal in his hand.

"Let's go, little comrade."

Jiang Chen hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked back along the way they came. However, after they had taken only two steps, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them.

Then, the quartermaster who had just returned to the tent caught up with him and said, "Wait a minute!"

Jiang Chen's heart tightened involuntarily, and he wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but the lieutenant officer next to him had already stopped and turned his head to look at the quartermaster who was chasing him with a puzzled look.

"Captain Wang, is there anything else?"

The quartermaster quickly explained, "It's okay, it's okay, Technician Wu, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll ask this young comrade for help."

Jiang Chen's heart instantly rose to his throat when he heard this. If he was not a time traveler and had no experience from his previous life to base himself on, he would have probably run away at this moment.

Fortunately, he had a lieutenant officer by his side.

Facing the other party's puzzled gaze, the quartermaster could only briefly explain the matter.

"The battalion commander asked me to deliver some food to the headquarters. I can't get away for a while, so I thought I'd trouble this young comrade to help me make the trip."

Hearing this, the lieutenant nodded. It just so happened that he also had to go to the command center to swap shifts with his teammates, and he could also take Jiang Chen with him.

He was fine, but Jiang Chen felt differently.

Although he had done nothing, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

It was easy to go to other places, but going to the headquarters to deliver food to the battalion commander was really...

I just wanted to find a place to hide, why did you send me directly to the headquarters?!

Jiang Chen wanted to cry but had no tears, but the current situation did not allow him to refuse.

Don't be fooled by the other party's polite words. In fact, if there wasn't a lieutenant officer next to Jiang Chen, who was also an instructor specially sent by the higher-ups.

What was waiting for him was an order, not the current tone of consultation and questioning.

Moreover, Jiang Chen knew very well that if he agreed to this matter, he would still have a chance of survival, but if he dared to refuse and let the other party realize that something was wrong, then he would be finished right now.

"Yes, squad leader!" Jiang Chen said stiffly.

In order to avoid being exposed, he deliberately lowered his head when receiving things.

Just as Jiang Chen took the things, the quartermaster suddenly asked, "It should be evening roll call time now, why didn't you go?"

"Reporting to the squad leader, I was injured during the day, and our squad leader approved that I don't need to attend the evening roll call today."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen gently pulled up his pants, revealing a large purple scar on his thigh.

The quartermaster nodded upon seeing this.

Seeing him nod, Jiang Chen finally let go of some of his worries.

Jiang Chen followed the lieutenant with the lunch box in his hand. After walking a distance, he heard no more unusual movements behind him. Only then did he feel relieved.

After watching the two men walk away, the quartermaster turned back to the tent and continued to entertain the people from the logistics department.

This incident seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it was destined when Jiang Chen appeared.

It's a very simple truth that not everyone can know the password to the command center.

If it weren't for the presence of Technician Wu, the quartermaster wouldn't even have mentioned this.

He couldn't possibly leak the password to the headquarters because of such a small matter, even though it could be changed at any time...

And now, because of the presence of Technician Wu, Jiang Chen can approach the command center under the guidance of the other party even if he does not know the password.

Not only did he not leak the password, he was also able to complete the tasks assigned by the battalion commander, and he also did not neglect the "masters" in the logistics department...

Kill three birds with one stone.

No wonder he could become the chief steward.

The only misjudgment made by the other party was that they did not expect that the man in front of them was not a soldier from their company.

However, this is not the quartermaster's fault.

Regarding the camouflage training, currently only the battalion commander and a few other people in the entire Second Battalion know about it, and it will be announced tomorrow morning.

Unless you can predict the future, it is normal to make mistakes in judgment.

……

After walking for a while, the lieutenant suddenly asked: "By the way, I don't know yet, what is your name?"

Although Jiang Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he didn't show it on his face.

He had rehearsed these questions in his mind countless times, so he answered them smoothly.

"Reporting to the commander, my name is Lu Xingwang." Jiang Chen sold out Lu Xingwang without hesitation.

The lieutenant nodded and said, "Lu Xingwang, that's a good name. How long have you been in the army?"

Jiang Chen answered truthfully: "Report to the commander, it will be two years soon!"

"So are you going to stay in the army, or..."

Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile and said with an embarrassed expression: "Although my training results are not bad, they are not outstanding either. It is not easy to sign a non-commissioned officer."

The two chatted as they walked. Jiang Chen tried his best to make his answers sound natural, while also observing the lieutenant's reaction.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to be just asking casually and didn't suspect anything.

Following the lieutenant officer, we entered the officers' quarters without any obstruction.

"You wait for me for a while."

"Yes, Chief!"

Jiang Chen knew what he was going to do.

From previous conversations, we learned that there are four of them in total. They have been divided into two shifts over the past few days, helping to debug the Beidou system at the command center and also teaching the people in the command center how to operate it.

Although what the lieutenant said was very vague, Jiang Chen vaguely guessed something.

This time the company commander brought them to conduct confrontation training with the Second Battalion, which might not be as simple as it seems.

While the confrontation is going on here, others can also learn how to use the Beidou system.

It’s the best of both worlds.

The Beidou satellite system is, after all, a new thing.

What the army hates most are those who only talk the talk but don't practice.

Instead of letting soldiers sit in front of the blackboard in the classroom with a book in their arms, it would be better to have another confrontation so that they can learn and practice at the same time.

When Feng Yao, Liu Bo and Ge Hongtao reported their ideas, the regiment commander Zheng Xingguo immediately made the decision, and then there was this confrontation training between the Second Battalion and the Reconnaissance Company.

Otherwise, what do you think the soldiers of the Second Battalion were trying to do by traveling thousands of miles to the wilderness for training right after the exercise ended and before they had time to celebrate their victory?

After the last exercise, both Liu Bo and Ge Hongtao were very clear about one thing.

Informationized warfare is definitely a major trend in future wars. Whoever can be the first to master its correct use will be able to take the lead and gain a leading advantage in the coming new era.

After getting the approval of the team leader, the two hit it off and quickly discussed the next training plan.

The speed was so fast that even the Chief of Staff Feng Yao was left behind.

There was no way. Although the previous exercise seemed to be a great victory for the Second Battalion, it actually had little to do with them.

Even if the second battalion is replaced by the third battalion, the outcome will not change much.

Liu Bo knew his own business and was not immersed in the joy brought by the victory.

But Ge Hongtao's case is even simpler.

The scout's undefeated record in the regiment was broken. If he still cannot learn from his mistakes and become braver, then he would have served in vain as the commander of the reconnaissance company.

Currently, only three companies of the 228th Regiment have the Beidou system.

One is the Chief of Staff’s police detective company.

One was the third reconnaissance company, the only one that completed its mission during the exercise.

Finally, there is the Second Battalion, which also participated in the exercise.

Among them, except for the Chief of Staff's Police Detective Company, which can keep this set of equipment forever, the other two companies will only keep it temporarily.

The third company could have been the same as the police detective company, but they had a battalion commander above them.

It's impossible for only their company to be promoted while the other two brother companies just watch.

So, there is no need to say much about the final result.

After discussion among the three company commanders of the reconnaissance battalion, Battalion Commander Lei Zhenjun made the final decision.

The equipment obtained by the Third Company will be used in rotation by the three companies of the Reconnaissance Battalion. They will take advantage of this retreat with the Production Company to learn and adapt to the use and operation of the new equipment as quickly as possible.

Not to mention the Second Battalion.

The equipment they had was originally intended to be sent to the various companies of the 228th Regiment in turn.

It's just because they have participated in exercises and have some basic knowledge, so they can get started faster.

It would take them at least half a month and at most a month to deliver the equipment to other companies.

This is why Liu Bo is so urgent.

Although Jiang Chen didn't know it so clearly, but considering his experiences in the past few days, he could make a rough guess.

However, these have nothing to do with him for the time being. He must first deal with the problem at hand.

The rest will be dealt with after the training is completed.

After watching the lieutenant officer walk into the tent and memorizing the location of the tent, Jiang Chen observed the environment around the tent while the other party had not returned, looking for an opportunity to sneak in.

Five minutes later, two lieutenants dressed similarly came out of the tent.

Maybe because they had just talked in the tent, the other lieutenant did not have any special reaction when he saw Jiang Chen.

"Hello, Chief!" Jiang Chen followed the old rules and stood at attention and saluted the two of them.

"Well, let's go." The lieutenant nodded.

The three of them headed towards the command post in the center of the camp.
