My Military Career in a Parallel World

Back in the dormitory, although everyone was exhausted with sore backs and some fainted without even the strength to lift their legs, but with the lesson learned at noon, no one dared to sit on the bed. They all rested on the uniform small stools with their backs against the bed.

"Twenty minutes of rest. Remember to clean yourself up. After dinner, the instructor will take you to the computer classroom to watch the news broadcast and take ideological education classes."

"Ah?! No way, squad leader!"

Hearing this, everyone wailed.

I did a big clean in the morning and spent another day in the sun in the afternoon. I thought nothing would happen when I got back, but...

"Oh my god, I'm so tired, squad leader, are we going to do this every day from now on?" After just a short break, someone couldn't sit still anymore.

"No..." Glancing at Luo Ming, Li Gang said calmly, "It will only be more tiring and more difficult in the future!"

"what?!"

Now everyone couldn't sit still.

Sun Weichen, who fainted twice while standing at attention in the afternoon, almost wrinkled his chubby face when he heard this.

"It will be even harder, squad leader, you are not trying to scare us, are you?!"

Except for Jiang Chen, everyone else looked at Li Gang and waited for his answer.

Glancing at everyone, Li Gang curled his lips in disdain and said, "What good would it do me to scare you?"

"What did you do today?"

"I folded the quilt in the morning, cleaned the dormitory at noon, ran three kilometers in the afternoon, stood at attention, and learned some drills. Can you call this hard work?"

"Cherish the present time, because you won't have such a comfortable life in the future!"

Li Gang didn't want to answer this almost idiotic question.

The most we can do today is to bask in the sun, which can't even be considered training. Not to mention comparing with the field troops, the military training intensity of some universities is higher than theirs.

After resting in the dormitory for twenty minutes, they went to the bathroom to get ready. At half past six, all the new recruits gathered downstairs again.

It's dinner time.

The afternoon training ended a little late, and the recruits had to take some time to rest and wash up, so we had dinner a little late today.

It’s still the familiar singing segment and the familiar race against time.

During the ten-minute meal time, the new recruits, who were tired after a whole day and already very hungry, wanted to bury their heads in the food bowls.

However, everyone knew the situation and no one dared to waste food.

After dinner, it was almost six fifty. Instead of going back to the dormitory, the platoon leader led everyone directly to the computer classroom.

It is called an electronic classroom, but in fact there is only a projection screen similar to the one used to show movies in rural areas in the past.

There is no way. The conditions are limited now. Only the recruit camps in military academies may have multimedia classrooms. The troops will have to wait for a few more years.

At seven o'clock, the news broadcast starts on time.

Everyone sat on their own small stools, holding the letter paper that the instructor had just handed out, watching the news broadcast and taking notes at the same time. What's even worse is that the instructor will check it later...

A group of grown men were not stumped by the training, but were instead stumped by the small piece of paper in front of them.

They all had sad faces, looking at the white paper which was cleaner than their own faces, biting the pen caps for a long time and unable to compose a single word.

Except Jiang Chen...

Although he dropped out of school after high school in his previous life to work, he had been in society for so many years that he still had some experience in how to write reports with a high word count. What's more, he still had all the memories of the original owner.

While the others were still staring at the blank paper in front of them, Jiang Chen had already started writing furiously.

Zhang Meng, who was closest to him, looked at the densely written letter from Jiang Chen, and his originally worried expression suddenly disappeared.

"Damn it! How could I forget about this? Brother Chen is a college student!"

Zhang Meng instantly recalled the scene when they first met.

He clearly remembered that when the two of them were talking about why they joined the army, Jiang Chen said in person that he joined the army because he was admitted to university and his family had no money, hoping to get some allowances and retirement pay to go back and continue his studies.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng immediately became alert. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He then quietly approached Jiang Chen and whispered, "Brother Chen, please help me copy it. I really don't know how to write this!"

Seeing that the person approaching was Zhang Meng, Jiang Chen didn't say much. He looked up at the instructor who was concentrating on watching the news broadcast, then turned back and whispered: "Wait until I finish writing it for you. Pay attention when you copy it. Don't copy everything. If the instructor finds out, we will both be in trouble."

"Brother Chen, don't worry. I may not be good at other things, but I am definitely good at copying homework!" Zhang Meng immediately patted his chest and guaranteed when he heard it.

However, before he could finish his words, he saw the instructor in the front row suddenly stand up and look over here.

The army is not a school.

The classroom was originally quiet. When Zhang Meng was speaking, a news segment happened to have finished being broadcast. There was a short vacuum when the picture switched to the host's perspective.

Without the interference of the external sound from the speakers, Lu Ming noticed this side immediately, and Zhang Meng's hasty retreat naturally did not escape his eyes.

Lu Ming walked towards the two of them with a sullen face. He was a little angry at first, but when he got closer and saw Jiang Chen's figure and the papers with dense writing on the table, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Look at my memory. I actually forgot about you, a top student from Northwestern Polytechnical University."

Lu Ming smiled and looked at Jiang Chen and continued, "In the future, when we have ideological education classes, other people will give a 500-word summary, and you will give a 1,000-word summary. And when the news broadcast is over, you will go on stage to comment!"

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Ming seemed to remember something and turned back to add, "Also, I will personally review the summaries you write in the future. If I am not satisfied, I will add another 500 words to the summaries in the future!"

I?!!!

Looking at Lu Ming's leaving back, Jiang Chen's face almost turned the color of liver.

What a bummer! Is there really such a thing as this? !

Not only do you have to write 500 more words than others, you also have to write until you are satisfied, otherwise, add another 500 words? !

You might as well just kill me!

But what can he do?

The instructor's words had blocked his way out.

Top students from Northwestern Polytechnical University...

After traveling through time, Jiang Chen had never hated this sentence so much.

……

At 7:30, the news broadcast ended on time. Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen walked to the podium and began his speech.

"After watching today's news broadcast, my heart is filled with joy and excitement. Our country is gradually becoming stronger, and our nation is constantly growing and developing..."

Fortunately, his experience of slacking off in his previous life had made him familiar with various types of model essays and universal sentences, and these things were not yet commonplace at that time.

He took it and modified it a little, and it really looked like the real thing.

To sum up Jiang Chen's speech, one must have correct outlooks, strong momentum, and the language must sound lofty, but in fact it has no substance and is nothing but polite words and clichés.

If this is not the case, why do you think school leaders can speak for such a long time every time, just like an old grandmother's foot binding, long and smelly, making the listeners drowsy.

This is only possible in the army, otherwise, he could talk for an hour or two without repeating himself.

Lu Ming didn't make it too difficult for him. After talking for about five minutes, he let Jiang Chen go back and sit down.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry!" As soon as Zhang Meng returned to his seat, he took advantage of the instructor turning around to fiddle with the projector and hurriedly apologized to Jiang Chen with his hands clasped together.

"How dare you say that! You almost got me killed. Sit still and don't get caught again." Turning back and glaring at the guy, Jiang Chen didn't dare to say anything more.

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that the instructor checked everyone's notes one by one, especially Jiang Chen's 1,000-word summary, and made comments and corrections. Only then did today's study come to an end.

After returning to the dormitory, without giving everyone time to rest, Li Gang asked everyone to change into physical training clothes and then led everyone downstairs to gather.

It's time for evening roll call.

Taking into account that the recruits had just arrived, the evening roll call on the first day was not too strict. They simply ran three kilometers and then let everyone go back.

"Lights will be turned off in half an hour. If you want to take a shower, pack your things and line up at the door."

There are not many opportunities to take a hot shower in the army, only once or twice a week at most.

This is the good thing about summer. You can still take a shower with cold water. You can take a shower every day if you want to, without having to count the days and time.

Although this is in the south, the troops are not so particular and all have a unified large bathhouse.

The three platoons of recruits, each carrying their own small yellow basins with toiletries, lined up in front of the bathhouse entrance in class units.

Through the frosted glass, you can vaguely see the scene inside the bathhouse.

Jiang Chen, Li Qiang, Chu Fei and other northerners were no longer surprised by this, but Zhou Xinghai and He Wenjie, two southerners, were a little confused.

Not only them, many new recruits from the south walked to the bathhouse door and looked inside, their faces were almost red to their ears.

"Chu...Chu Fei...you...you guys are going in without wearing anything?!"

"Ah? Otherwise, do you take a bath with clothes on?" Chu Fei was also confused by the question.

"Ah... no... what I mean is... you should at least wear some shorts... wouldn't it be embarrassing to go in like this..." He Wenjie lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chu Fei and others.

"What are you afraid of? There are no women here. Are you too weak to show off?" Chu Fei said carelessly. As he spoke, he straightened his waist to show off, causing several new recruits from other classes behind him to blush and lower their heads, not daring to look at him again.

"Stop messing around, wash up early and go back to rest. You have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning to fold the quilt." After taking off his clothes, Jiang Chen looked at Chu Fei and the others who were still hesitating, and couldn't help but urge them.

The differences between the north and the south have always been a hot topic on a certain audio platform in his previous life. Even if he doesn't pay much attention to it, he can often see similar videos and knows something about it.

If they hadn't been sweating and felt uncomfortable without washing, He Wenjie and the others might not even have entered the bathhouse.

In the end, since they couldn't keep up with the two of them, Jiang Chen and the others simply took action and forcibly stripped them of their clothes.

There’s no other way. Each class only has five minutes to take a shower, and they don’t want to go to bed with a sticky body.

"No, no, no, brothers, please leave me some underwear!"

He Wenjie and Zhou Xinghai begged for a long time before everyone gave up the idea of ​​taking off their underwear.

When they walked into the bathhouse, everyone else stood up straight and showed off their talents without any concealment. A few new recruits who had already become familiar with each other were even competing with each other.

Only Zhou Xinghai and his friends were wearing shorts, bending over, and covering their bodies as much as possible with towels, just like virgins who had accidentally entered a men's bathhouse, which was both hilarious and ridiculous to watch.

He Wenjie was even more exaggerated. His entire body was red and he curled up like a cooked shrimp. If Jiang Chen and Li Qiang hadn't been holding him up, he would have collapsed to the ground.

In the bathhouse, Jiang Chen, Chu Fei and others, not satisfied with washing themselves, formed groups to rub each other's backs. Amid the sound of dripping water, one could occasionally hear two sentences:

"Fuck, Jiang Chen, you? You didn't grow up eating kidneys and bullwhips! You have too much capital..."

"Get lost, you don't have enough furniture, don't frame a good person! I'm called a gifted person, don't you understand?!"

The sound of their conversation and laughter attracted people from other classes to gather around, wanting to see who was so arrogant.

He Wenjie, Zhou Xinghai and others had never seen such a scene before.

Seeing a group of naked men walking towards them, they were so scared that they almost shrank into the corner.

While other people's attention was not on them, the two of them turned on the shower head, rinsed themselves randomly, and ran out of the bathhouse.

That speed, that movement, was almost catching up with Uncle Long’s speed of going down the stairs.

Zhang Meng and Sun Weicheng next to them couldn't stop him...

In the dormitory, while there was still some time before lights out, Li Gang asked everyone to practice folding quilts for a while.

"By the way, Brother Chen, just now during class, the instructor said that you are a top student at Northwestern Polytechnical University. Is that true?!"

Jiang Chen was half-kneeling on the ground folding the quilt. Zhang Meng was watching and learning from the side. Her mouth was not idle either. Thinking about what happened in the evening, she couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you asking? Yes and no, it has nothing to do with you."

It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but when he did, Jiang Chen got furious.

Zhang Meng also knew that he had deceived Jiang Chen, but he was extremely curious.

Previously, I only knew that Jiang Chen was a college student. I thought he was at most a junior college graduate. Who would have thought...

"Hey, Brother Chen, I'm wrong, isn't that okay? Just tell me..."

When this was mentioned, other people in the dormitory also became interested and agreed: "Yes, Jiang Chen, are you really a student of Northwestern Polytechnical University? It's a 985 prestigious university. Why don't you go to university and come to join the army!"

Li Gang sat on his bed, soaking his feet with his eyes closed, and did not say anything to interrupt the chat.

He was also very curious about this matter. If the instructor hadn't mentioned it tonight, he wouldn't have known that there was such a big treasure hidden in his class.

That’s right, baby!

With this identity, even if Jiang Chen ranked last in the recruit company assessment, he would not be directly sent to a farm or pig-raising class like the others, and then be stripped and left after two years.

At the very least, you can get a job as a clerk in the company headquarters. If you're lucky, you might even be able to stay in the regiment headquarters.

Moreover, Li Gang was not blind. Although they had only been together for two days, he could still see some things.

Jiang Chen is not the kind of soldier who would just eat and wait for death and then leave with a severance pay.

This guy is an ambitious person!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question during the day. In addition, he was a college soldier, and he was from a 985 prestigious university...

A gleam of light flashed in Li Qiang's narrowed eyes.

I'm sure that my third or even fourth installment will fall on this kid!
