My Military Career in a Parallel World

The three of them walked towards the command post in the center of the camp. Along the way, they met many soldiers on guard and patrol. Jiang Chen tried his best to remain calm. While following behind the two of them, his brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with any emergencies when he entered the command post.

As he got closer to the command center, Jiang Chen's heart gradually rose to his throat.

Constantly observe the surrounding environment, trying to find any opportunities that can be exploited or possible loopholes, so that if the situation goes wrong, you can at least fight for a chance of survival.

However, the security measures around the headquarters were so tight that he could not find any opportunity to exploit.

Finally, the group arrived at the entrance of the headquarters. The sentry standing guard at the door knew the two lieutenant officers. Seeing this, he did not ask any questions and saluted and let them pass.

Jiang Chen followed behind, trying to make his steps appear natural.

Following the two into the command center, Jiang Chen quickly scanned the surroundings.

The tent was very large, twice the size of an ordinary marching tent. Various communication equipment and maps filled the entire room. Two officers in the middle, also with the rank of lieutenant, were sitting in front of a computer, busy with something. Even the entry of two teammates failed to attract their attention.

Turning my head, I saw a simple coffee table in the left corner, and two people were sitting on the armchairs chatting in low voices.

At first, Jiang Chen didn't pay much attention to it until one of them raised his head.

"What the hell?!"

When Jiang Chen saw the man's face clearly, his eyes almost popped out.

“Isn’t this the company commander Gekeng…? Why is he at the Second Battalion Headquarters?!”

Before Jiang Chen recovered from his shock, the major sitting next to him suddenly turned his head and looked over.

Needless to say, Jiang Chen could also guess his identity. Who else could it be but the commander of the second battalion!

Seeing Jiang Chen appear in the headquarters, Second Battalion Commander Liu Bo frowned and shouted in a commanding tone: "Who let you in, soldier?!"

Jiang Chen quickly collected his thoughts, pretended to be submissive, saluted and said, "Report to the battalion commander, the quartermaster asked me to come and give you something!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen raised the lunch box in his hand and pretended to shrink his neck.

Just as the two were talking, Ge Hongtao next to them suddenly heard a familiar voice and subconsciously turned his head to look over.

When he saw Jiang Chen's face clearly, he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and forced himself to hold it back, swallowing the tea in his mouth.

"Old Liu, look at you. You are the commander of a battalion after all. Don't take your anger out on the soldiers."

Just when Liu Bo was about to ask more questions, Ge Hongtao suddenly interrupted him, stopping him from asking any subsequent questions.

"Hmph, this is my territory, he is my soldier, I can do whatever I want, what's it to you?!" Liu Bo glared at Ge Hongtao and fought back.

"Oh, oh, oh, I am being nosy. You are my soldier, you can do whatever you want..."

Having said that, Ge Hongtao almost laughed out loud in his heart.

It is true that this is your territory, but he is not necessarily your soldier!

"Put your things down and you can go!" After being interrupted by Ge Hongtao, Liu Bo didn't know how to continue.

Although I was just asking a very normal question just now, my tone was inevitably affected.

After all, anyone who knew that there was an "enemy" scout hiding in their camp would probably feel bad, so it's normal for them to speak in a harsh tone.

Moreover, he was unwilling to let an outsider watch the fun at home.

Liu Bo knew the kind of person in front of him. He wanted to make sure that he would not talk nonsense and ruin his reputation.

"Yes!"

Hearing the other party's willingness, Jiang Chen quickly agreed, and at the same time silently gave a thumbs up to his own company commander in his heart.

Jiang Chen carefully placed the food box on the coffee table, then quickly stepped aside and ran out of the tent without waiting for others to react.

No one else in the tent was surprised by his reaction, and even the battalion commander Liu Bo didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It would be strange if a corporal did not react when facing a major, who is also his battalion commander.

Watching Jiang Chen fleeing, the two sentries standing guard at the door and listening to the entire noise inside naturally did not stop him. There was even a hint of gloating in their eyes as they looked at Jiang Chen's back.

It's not about anything else, it's mainly because standing guard, especially standing guard for a leader, is inherently a boring and tedious job. It's hard to find something fun to watch, so the two people's reactions are perfectly normal.

Of course, they also knew their battalion commander's temper. It was normal for him to sound a little fierce, as he was not really angry.

Others who want to be bullied by the battalion commander have not had the chance yet.

However, they didn’t know that Jiang Chen was really scared. He felt that if he didn’t have his own company commander to help him, he would be exposed if he was questioned like this.

No matter how thorough the preparations were, Jiang Chen was not a soldier of the Second Battalion, and he only had a superficial understanding of the specific situation of the Second Battalion.

He was just lucky enough to meet a lieutenant who had just arrived at the camp and had a rather special identity.

Otherwise, he would never dare to do so even if he was beaten to death.

Even so, Jiang Chen almost fell over.

If the fifth-term non-commissioned officer's quartermaster had not been accompanied by the lieutenant officer named Wu, he would most likely have been exposed if the other party had asked a few more questions.

The truly dangerous moment was just now.

As a major battalion commander, unless someone comes from the regiment headquarters, he is the biggest leader of the camp and does not need to consider anyone's feelings.

Fortunately, his unscrupulous company commander was also in the headquarters and helped him to smooth things over. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would not even know how he died.

Fortunately, the most difficult hurdle has passed, and the next things will be much easier.

While the two officers from the command center had not come out yet, Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and quickly found the tent according to the route he had previously memorized.

After observing his surroundings and making sure that no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Chen slipped in.

It must be said that this is worthy of being an officer's tent. Although it looks simple inside, it is many times better than an ordinary soldier's tent.

There are two single beds on the left and right. In a brighter position near the door, there is a simple metal desk with a desk lamp on the corner for convenient use at night or when there is insufficient light.

The chair was a folding chair with a back and armrests, and next to it was a filing cabinet filled with books.

For Jiang Chen, the most ideal hiding place was naturally under the bed. After observing the environment inside the tent, he immediately focused his attention on the two single beds.

The single bed uses a steel frame with a hollow bottom. It is both sturdy and durable and easy to carry and assemble, and can meet the needs of frequent relocation of troops.

The bed is two meters long and one meter wide, and the bottom of the bed is about fifty centimeters from the ground.

This is only the case with Jiang Chen. If it were Sun Weichen, it would be quite difficult for him to hide in there without being discovered.

After observing the placement of the two beds, Jiang Chen decisively chose to hide in the bed that was placed horizontally at the innermost part of the tent where light could not easily reach.

……

"I'm so tired. I didn't expect the basic troops' conditions to be so poor. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"Who says it isn't?

However, compared to spending the whole day either in the office or in the research institute, it is much more interesting to lead the troops at the grassroots level.

I just wasn’t in good enough physical condition at the time, otherwise I would have definitely applied for the conducting major! ”

"Come on, with your physique, if you really go to the command department, you will be worn out in three days at most. Those guys are just like animals!"

"It's just okay. You didn't see how they trained today. I feel that compared to them, the amount of training in our school is just so-so."

"Besides, this is just an ordinary company. I am now curious about how much training the scouts receive."

"It's not that difficult. We'll know when we meet Lao Li and the others after a while."

The tent curtain was opened and two lieutenants walked in.

Putting the documents aside, the two hungry men picked up the steaming hot food that had been prepared for them and began to eat.

Hiding under the bed, listening to the sound of the two people swallowing food, Jiang Chen couldn't help swallowing his saliva, silently took out a piece of candy from his arms and threw it into his mouth.

Feeling the candy slowly melting in his mouth, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of what the lieutenant officer had said at the door of the kitchen.

If I had known earlier, I should have shamelessly accepted that lunch box...

Of course, he was just thinking about it. Even if he really accepted it, there was no time and place for him to eat it slowly.

After the two officers finished their meal, they sat at their desks and worked for a while until a whistle was heard outside. Then they packed up their things and went to bed.

Listening to the noise coming from above his head, Jiang Chen's breathing slowed down to the extreme.

Fortunately, the tent was not an enclosed space. The mountain breeze blew, and the chirping of insects could be heard from outside from time to time. Jiang Chen did not have to worry too much about his remaining breathing sound attracting the attention of the two.

In the following period of time, Jiang Chen did not relax his vigilance.

Although his body was extremely tired, the injured part of his back still caused piercing pain from time to time when it touched the ground.

This is especially evident in the current environment.

But no matter what, Jiang Chen could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The coldness of the forest night, the fatigue and pain of the body, and the hunger in the stomach...

If it weren't for the willpower he cultivated in the dream space and the belief in his heart, Jiang Chen would have given up long ago.

As for why not going to the dream space...

The state of entering the dream space is exactly the same as the state of a person falling asleep.

Although there won't be any bullshit like snoring, it is absolutely impossible for me to control the sound of my breathing like I do now.

Jiang Chen was only one step away from victory and didn't want to fail miserably.

In a quiet environment, time passes very slowly.

The footsteps of the patrol team outside could be heard from time to time, forcing Jiang Chen to remain vigilant at all times and not dare to relax even a little.

On the other side, in the command center, Ge Hongtao, after having a free meal, had no intention of leaving. He simply lay down on the simple sofa in the tent and fell asleep.

Seeing this guy couldn't be driven away and his extremely rogue appearance, the Second Battalion Commander Liu Bo also felt a headache.

In the end, the two of them came to a head-on confrontation.

Ge Hongtao was sleeping on the sofa, and Liu Bo simply asked the sentry at the door to move his bed from the tent.

A major battalion commander and a captain company commander just slept in the command center.

There's nothing wrong with the two of them arguing, but it caused great harm to other people in the command center.

The two officers who had just been sent to the grassroots for training looked at each other and could only sit in front of the computer and pretend to be busy, not even daring to talk in a low voice.

The sentry at the door is even worse off, as he has to stay focused at all times.

I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, I would be forced to get promoted, and my rank of NCO would become that of major...

If something like this were to happen, it wouldn't be as easy as the squad leader dealing with them when they get back.

If things go wrong, even the company commander will have to skin them alive personally.

No one knows when this "bad habit" started, but as long as there is an opportunity, these leaders like to give "promotions and salary increases" to their soldiers.

What's the big deal about major? There are people who can jump directly from private first class to colonel or senior colonel.

Damn, the promotion speed is faster than during the war years.

They don't want to experience such exciting things.

Moreover, even if he didn't get a promotion or a raise, if he was distracted and was seen by the battalion commander, he would still be punished when he returned.

Therefore, no matter how hard or difficult it is, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

……

Four o'clock in the morning.

Ge Hongtao had just climbed up from the sofa and was about to sneak over to take a look at the location of his daring private soldier, but Liu Bo next to him also opened his eyes and looked at him straight.

"Haha, well, Lao Liu, you continue to sleep. I'm going to go to the bathroom." Ge Hongtao said with an awkward smile.

"Then go ahead." Liu Bo rolled his eyes, but did not stop him and pointed to the toilet.

"Hey, isn't it strange? I don't want to go now." Ge Hongtao was not ashamed. Seeing that his little trick had been discovered, he simply stopped pretending. He lay down on the sofa, crossed his legs and stared at Liu Bo.

"Hmph!" Seeing his rogue look, Liu Bo snorted coldly, turned around and left Ge Hongtao with the back of his head.

Last night, the two agreed that no one would approach the command platform until the exercise was over.

But Ge Hongtao insisted on making a fuss, saying that he had nowhere to go and had to stay at the headquarters overnight.

How could Liu Bo agree?

As a result, it became what it is now.

In fact, Ge Hongtao is not worried about the possibility of leaking secrets and opening a backdoor for his family members.

Liu Bo, a major and battalion commander, would not do such a ridiculous thing.

But not leaking secrets does not mean not being curious.

Ge Hongtao was also curious about how Jiang Chen played it. It was already amazing for a private soldier to sneak into the enemy camp without telling anyone, but he could even get to their headquarters. This...

Therefore, he thought of finding an opportunity at night to ask the two officers who had brought Jiang Chen in, and then take a look at Jiang Chen's movements.

As a result, Liu Bo seemed to have similar ideas, and then the two of them started arguing.

Ge Hongtao didn't want the other party to know that he had just secretly helped Jiang Chen, so he simply stayed and kept an eye on Liu Bo.

If you don't let me go, then you can't go either.

however.

In fact, there was absolutely no need for the two to do so.

The positioning device on Jiang Chen had already failed when he changed his clothes.

Even if they really went to see it, it would be useless...
