My Military Career in a Parallel World

When he saw the first document, Jiang Jianguo was still a little hesitant about whether to send his son to join the army.

It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that when they were young, old man Jiang Weiming always wanted to send Jiang Jianguo and his brother Jiang Jiandang to the army.

Because of this, the two brothers were often tormented by their grandfather, and after a long time, it was inevitable that they would develop a rebellious mentality.

Since his son failed to make it, the old man set his sights on his grandson. No wonder Jiang Jianguo was suspicious.

As if he could see what Jiang Jianguo was thinking, the old man threw another document in front of him.

Retirement benefits and policies for soldiers at all levels of the military.

The first time Jiang Jianguo saw the document, he was attracted by the soldiers' retirement benefits written on it.

Private: 1 year of military service, basic salary 1000 (monthly).

Private: 2 years of military service, basic salary 1100 (monthly).

These are not the main points. The main point is the following regarding the treatment of conscripts after two years of retirement.

Although conscripts are required to serve as soldiers, their treatment is actually no different. If you calculate it carefully, the money they earn is even more than what you would earn from working outside for two years.

The retirement pay for two years is about 30,000 yuan, plus the monthly allowance after being awarded the rank, and the fact that there are not so many places to spend money in the army, the money that can actually be put into hands is definitely much more than working for others.

With this money as a foundation, plus the preferential policies for college students to join the army, it is enough for Jiang Chen to finish college and even have some left over.

"I don't have to force Chen'er to stay in the army forever. After two years, he can decide whether to stay or go!"

The old man's words dispelled the last bit of doubt in Jiang Jianguo's heart.

……

The next day, early in the morning Jiang Jianguo took Jiang Chen to the town's conscription office to fill out enlistment applications.

Nowadays, let alone college students, people with a little bit of prospects basically won't join the army. Now, suddenly there is Jiang Chen, a top university student who is about to graduate from a top 985 university. One can imagine what the conscription officers feel.

As soon as Jiang Chen and his son finished filling out their enlistment applications, they were rushed to Director Chen.

Physical examination, home visit, political review, the whole process went by so fast, as if they were afraid that he would run away.

By the time Jiang Chen came over, all the procedures had been completed, and he couldn't regret it even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, when the original owner registered, he had already received an admission letter from Northwestern Polytechnical University. Before joining the army, he could apply for a leave of absence and then go to the army. This was considered good news.

After all, Jiang Chen is not the original owner. Although he has all the memories of the original owner, if he really takes the exam, let alone a 985 university, it would be great if he could get into a junior college.

In addition, it is no exaggeration to say that the difference between joining the army with retained student status and joining the army without student status is as different as heaven and earth.

As long as your student status is retained, even if you don't attend college for a single day, you are still a college student, and it will be clearly marked in your file.

On the contrary, if you don’t have a student record, it will be useless even if you are admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. In the file, you are just a private who graduated from high school.

……

"You will regret it for three years if you serve as a soldier, and you will regret it for a lifetime if you do not serve as a soldier."

Jiang Chen had heard this sentence countless times in his previous life. In addition, he had some angry youth attributes and had experienced the baptism of various military works, so he was not very resistant to joining the army.

Now that you are here, you might as well make the best of it. It would be nice to take a visit to the army.

Sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted further and further away, and he began to ponder the strange dreams that had appeared every night in the past few days.

It is said that one must bring cheats when traveling through time. As a member of the army of time travelers, Jiang Chen is no exception.

However, his cheats are insignificant compared to those of his predecessors who were often possessed by various systems.

After traveling through time, Jiang Chen would have a dream every night after falling asleep.

In his dreams, he can recreate what he experienced during the day. The only difference is that after waking up, Jiang Chen can clearly recall all the details of the dream, including the books he read, the words he heard, etc.

As an old online literature bookworm in his previous life, Jiang Chen could think of no less than ten ways to use the golden finger with his toes.

It was because of the appearance of the golden finger that Jiang Chen was no longer too worried about his future.

Whether you are joining the army or retiring to go to college after two years, with this golden finger as a foundation, you can be sure that you will not do too badly, if not too well.

After another ten minutes, the outline of the county town gradually became clear. Under Jiang Jianguo's control, the motorcycle turned a corner, and the county railway station located on the edge of the city came into view.

Today is the day for the new recruits to depart. The train station is crowded with new recruits in uniform and their family members who have come to see them off.

Several cadres were waiting at the station entrance, helping the new recruits register and comforting their family members who were seeing them off.

The leader of these cadres was none other than the young lieutenant who had appeared before in the County Veterans Affairs Bureau.

Lu Ming stood on the steps at the entrance of the station, his eyes occasionally scanning the crowded crowd in front of him, as if he was looking for something...

It was not until Jiang Chen and his son appeared in the crowd at the station entrance that he withdrew his gaze, and a smile flashed across his tense face.

After finally finding a college student, Lu Ming was really afraid that Jiang Chen would suddenly change his mind.

After all, Jiang Chen had made up his mind not to come before he arrived at the army, and he didn't have any better solution.

Now that Jiang Chen is here, everything will be much easier.

It will be too late to regret once you get on the bus.

Thinking of this, the smile on Lu Ming's face became brighter.

Register, take roll call, line up, and get ready to get on the bus.

As a father, Jiang Jianguo had a lot of things to say to his son, but when it came to his mouth, there was only one sentence left: "Let's go, do your best in the army!"

The train slowly left the station, but Jiang Jianguo still stood on the platform for a long time, unwilling to leave.

After this separation, the father and son don’t know how long they will have to wait before they can meet again.

……

On the green train, someone secretly took off his shoes, and the carriage was instantly filled with the smell of sweat and feet.

The leading cadre at the front of the carriage would occasionally lead everyone to yell a few words about unity being strength. Jiang Chen, who hadn't experienced such a scene in more than ten years, wanted to stick his head out of the window and take a few deep breaths...

Fortunately, the journey was not long. After two hours, the train slowly stopped. They would change vehicles here and then head to the final destination.

……

Chang'an, as the transportation hub of the motherland in the northwest, becomes a transit station for new recruits from all over the world during the conscription season every year.

Jiang Chen and others are heading south, and naturally there are also new recruits heading north, and the two will meet here.

After getting out of the carriage, everyone lined up under the command of the leading cadre, and after their names were called one by one to confirm that they were correct, they went to the vehicle they needed to transfer to.

On the way, Jiang Chen happened to meet a group of new recruits who were also taking roll call. He seemed to hear a few familiar names.

"Become a talent!"

"To!"

"Xu Sanduo!"

"arrive…"

Jiang Chen paused and subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look.

"Hey, that soldier, what's going on?!"

As soon as Jiang Chen slowed down, he attracted the attention of the team leader. Jiang Chen had no choice but to put aside his doubts and continue to move forward with the team...

As for why I wrote...

Emmp, mainly to make a patch. Military themes are prone to 404 errors, so I'd like to take precautions in advance, just in case it's useful...
