My Military Career in a Parallel World

"report!"

After returning to school, Jiang Chen did not go back to the dormitory immediately.

I have been in the hospital for almost a month, and there are still some procedures I need to go through.

At least he had to use up his leave first. Besides, Jiang Chen had not forgotten that Hong Haijiang had asked him to come to him first after he returned.

"Come in."

Hong Haijiang was sitting at his desk working. He looked up and saw that it was Jiang Chen. He couldn't help but smile: "Our great hero is finally willing to come back?"

"Battalion Commander, stop joking with me. This is my discharge certificate." Jiang Chen smiled innocently and changed the subject.

Hong Haijiang casually put the discharge certificate into the drawer, put down the document, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get your dress, and it's time to tidy up your hair. You'll be the protagonist at the celebration meeting tomorrow..."

Although he was somewhat confused, Jiang Chen did not ask any more questions and followed Hong Haijiang out of the recruit camp.

Arriving at the school's logistics department, Jiang Chen finally saw the officer's uniform he had longed for.

In fact, there is not much difference between formal wear and casual wear.

Judging from the appearance alone, the dress is only slightly more gorgeous than casual clothes, with a golden ribbon on the shoulders and the brim of the hat. The design is more exquisite and has more decorative elements, but there is basically no major difference otherwise.

However, there is one thing that cannot be compared with ordinary uniforms.

The dress is usually specially tailored according to the officer's body shape, which makes it more comfortable to wear and fits the body better, and can highlight the officer's temperament very well.

The regular clothes are a little worse.

Most soldiers' uniforms are issued in the same way, just like when you go to a shopping mall to buy clothes, they are all fixed sizes, and whether they fit you well or not really depends on the individual.

The dress is more like a tailor-made suit, perfectly fitting the officer's body.

As for when Jiang Chen's dress was custom made...

As early as the time of registration, the data of all trainees had been entered into the system, and their personal uniforms would be distributed as soon as they completed the training in the recruit camp.

On important occasions such as major festivals, celebrations, military parades, rank-awarding ceremonies, and honor-awarding ceremonies, formal attire is required to demonstrate the military's ceremonial image.

After receiving the dress uniform, Hong Haijiang took Jiang Chen to get a haircut. There was nothing much to say about this, as it was almost the same in military academies and the army. He could just find an electric razor with a caliper and shave his head. It would be fine as long as his skills were not as bad as Li Gang's.

After doing all this, Hong Haijiang gave some instructions and then let Jiang Chen go back by himself.

"Oh, by the way, there is something I almost forgot. When you return, remember to go to the battalion headquarters to find your company commander."

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen agreed, but couldn't help but ask curiously: "Captain, what's the matter?"

Hong Haijiang just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

"You'll know when you get there. Anyway, it's not a bad thing!"

"All right……"

Since Hong Haijiang didn't say anything, Jiang Chen had no choice but to suppress his curiosity temporarily.

-

Go back to dorms.

It was the morning exercise time. When Jiang Chen returned, everyone in Class 5 was still training outside, and the entire dormitory building was empty.

Pushing the door and entering the dormitory, Jiang Chen subconsciously looked at his bed, and then he was stunned.

The things on his bed were not put away directly as he had imagined.

White sheets, quilt folded into tofu blocks... everything was exactly the same as before he left.

"These guys..."

Jiang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and he walked to the closet with his bag on his back, putting away the dress he had just received.

"Alas, it's all because fathers are soft-hearted. I'll let you go this time!"

Muttering something, Jiang Chen opened his backpack and stuffed the snacks, fruits, and drinks inside into the lockers of several other people.

After a simple tidying up, Jiang Chen followed Hong Haijiang's instructions and went to the battalion headquarters to report to the new company commander.

As mentioned before, except for the battalion commander and the instructor, all other positions in the Army Command's recruit camp will be rotated every month.

In the first month, considering that the new recruits had just arrived in the camp, the company commanders and instructors of each company were specially arranged by the school to be instructors or teachers, in order to avoid the situation where the old trainees lacked experience in leading troops and they had just arrived, and they had difficulty handling the relationship with the new recruits.

After the first month's adaptation period, the recruit camp will be transformed into a cadet simulation camp. Except for the main leaders, all company and platoon leaders will be replaced by senior cadets in order to cultivate and train their leadership and management capabilities in advance.

Company-level cadres are generally selected from among the senior students who have completed one or two internships in the army.

All senior students can compete for the second-rank platoon leader position, and some junior students with outstanding performance can also participate in the competition without delaying their studies.

The competition for the final class monitor position will be a little wider, and all senior students can participate.

The term of office for all positions is one month, and they will be rotated again after one month.

Among them, those with outstanding performance can be promoted to higher positions and continue to serve in the recruit camp.

For example, if a squad leader performs well in the first month, he can stay in the second month to serve as a platoon leader. If he also performs well, he can continue to serve as a company commander until the three-month training in the recruit camp is completed.

Because Jiang Chen had been involved in flood relief and had been hospitalized for almost a month, he had no chance to meet the second company commander of the first company.

It is now the last month for the recruit company, which means that the squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders of the recruit camp have all been replaced by the third round.

Even without Hong Haijiang's instructions, Jiang Chen would have to report to the company headquarters and get to know his new leader.

After all, I will have to beg for food from others for the next month...

-

Recruit camp headquarters.

"report!"

"Enter!"

The school asked them to come here to learn how to lead troops, not to let them come here to enjoy themselves.

Therefore, this office in front of us does not belong to a certain company, but is shared by three company commanders. This also makes it convenient for students to exchange leadership experiences with each other.

When Jiang Chen arrived, the three company commanders were discussing the topic of tomorrow's celebration meeting.

Walking into the office, Jiang Chen did not feel great about himself because of his achievements.

After standing at attention and saluting the three people in the office, Jiang Chen said, "Reporting to the company commander, Jiang Chen, a student in the fifth squad of the first platoon, has been ordered to report!"

When they heard Jiang Chen introduce himself, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces.

It was nothing, it was just because they were discussing something about Jiang Chen.

Unexpectedly, the result was that as soon as they mentioned the devil, he appeared. They had just chatted for a while when the real culprit showed up.

The three people's eyes subconsciously fell on Jiang Chen at the door, and they kept looking him up and down, as if they wanted to see something from him.

"Jiang Chen, come in quickly, we are all family, don't be too restrained."

Finally, it was the new company commander, Wang Xuecheng, who came to his senses first, stood up and greeted them.

"My name is Wang Xuecheng. I will be your company commander for the next month, and also your senior in the senior year."

Wang Xuecheng was very enthusiastic. He explained himself while pulling Jiang Chen into the office.

Wang Xuecheng not only introduced himself, but also introduced the other two new company commanders to Jiang Chen.

"This is Liu Haiqing, majoring in armored command, and currently the commander of the Second Recruit Company."

"Hello, Second Company Commander!"

Jiang Chen still maintained the etiquette of a soldier, standing at attention, saluted and greeted.

"This is Tian Zhengyang, an infantry major, and the current commander of the third company of recruits."

"Hello, Third Company Commander!"

In response to Jiang Chen's greeting, although the two were not as enthusiastic as Wang Xuecheng, they both smiled and nodded.

After saying hello, we got down to business.

Wang Xuecheng returned to his desk, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying, "This is your transfer order. From now on, you are the platoon leader of the first platoon of recruits!"

"what?"

Now it was Jiang Chen's turn to be surprised.

He didn't expect that Hong Haijiang asked him to come to the battalion headquarters for this kind of thing.

Facing Jiang Chen's surprise, Wang Xuecheng maintained a smile on his face and continued, "Don't be surprised, this is a position reserved for students to practice their ability to lead troops.

Moreover, I have read your resume. Before coming to school, you have been involved in and managed the daily affairs of a platoon. I believe you can do it well. "

Since the other party said so, Jiang Chen had no need to refuse. He raised his hand to salute again and accepted the transfer order.

"Okay, go back and prepare for tomorrow's celebration meeting!"

"Yes!"

Watching Jiang Chen walk out of the office, Wang Xuecheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "Huh~"

Seeing this, Liu Haiqing and Tian Zhengyang on the side could not help but tease: "Old Wang, you are so unlucky. You finally get to be a company commander and you meet such a ruthless person."

"Yes, I heard that Jiang Chen was a scout before. He won two second-class merits and two third-class merits in just one year after joining the army.

However, generally speaking, shouldn’t these soldiers have the character of being the boss and not the boss?

Why does he seem to be easy to talk to? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take credit for himself."

Hearing the two people's teasing, Wang Xuecheng couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "Alas, we have only met once, what can you tell?

Now I can only pray that he is not pretending, otherwise, my trip would be in vain."

That’s right, the fundamental reason why Wang Xuecheng acted so enthusiastic just now was that he was unsure.

Even though they are all senior students and have previously interned in the military, it is precisely because of this experience that they understand more clearly how difficult it is to deal with grassroots soldiers.

According to the regulations of the Army Command, all students will go to the army for internship starting from the second half of their junior year.

The first time was as an ordinary soldier.

Just like Ma Xiaoshuai who once went to the 7th Steel Company for internship.

The second time is as the monitor or deputy monitor.

The last time was when I interned as a platoon leader.

Not only that, the school will conduct assessments during the three internships, and the internship troops will evaluate and score the interns as the basis for the final assessment.

If the assessment evaluation is too low, you will need to retake the exam.

If, still failed.

Then I'm sorry, this means you are not suitable to be a commander.

The school will readjust your position based on feedback from the troops.

They won’t prevent you from graduating or expel you directly.

After all, it is not easy for a country to cultivate talents. After spending such a huge amount of money, there must be some gains.

Anyway, our country has a vast territory, with deep mountains and forests, plateau deserts, and overseas isolated islands, and we have all kinds of environments.

The army is also diverse, with some farming, some raising pigs, and some doing engineering construction...

There is always a position and a place for you.

So, it doesn’t mean that as long as you enter a military academy, you will be able to lead troops into battle.

If you cannot integrate into the army and cannot even obey the basic orders, you are not worthy of being a commander.

For the subsequent internship assessment, not only the company commander of new recruits, but even the squad leader is very sought-after among the trainees who are about to face internship.

Wang Xuecheng finally got the opportunity to serve as the company commander of new recruits.

As a result, he encountered such a "boss" just two days after taking office. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in this situation.

Fortunately, judging from Jiang Chen's performance just now, he seems not to be the kind of troublemaker, which makes Wang Xuecheng feel a little better.

As for why Wang Xuecheng, a company commander, was "afraid" of Jiang Chen, a new recruit.

It’s not that he is a coward, nor is it that he is not confident in his abilities.

In fact, the fact that he could stand out among a group of cadets and serve as the company commander of the recruit camp is already a testament to his ability.

but……

-

After the morning exercise ended and the team disbanded, the students of Class 5 walked into the dormitory door and saw Jiang Chen sitting at the table writing something.

"Fuck! When did you come back? Why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Jiang Chen put down his pen, put away the half-written speech, and stood up with a smile: "What's the point of telling you, can you pick me up from the hospital?"

"I can't go to the hospital, but I can go to the school gate..."

"Come on, I don't know you guys?

You guys didn't come to pick me up, you just wanted to go out for some fresh air!"

"You see it but don't say it, squad leader!"

"Ha ha……"

After a long separation, everyone laughed happily.

After hugging a few people, Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Wuqiang, the former deputy monitor of Class 5, and asked, "By the way, who is the monitor of Class 5 now?"

Zhang Wuqiang scratched his head awkwardly, but before he could speak, Wang Hai and Zhang Tao on the side had already said, "Without you, squad leader, who else can be Wu Heizi's opponent?

This guy has been occupying the position of squad leader for a month. Now that you are back, it is a good opportunity to make him retire!"

"Get lost! It's your own fault that you don't have the ability to do this, and you still want to blame me!"

Zhang Wuqiang, who had an embarrassed look on his face just now, immediately turned pale when he heard this and couldn't help but curse.

Among all the people in Class Five, only Jiang Chen could beat him in fighting. The others, including Zhang Tao, who was also very physically fit, were no match for him at all because of the huge difference in size between them. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the deputy monitor before.

After being the squad leader for almost a month, Zhang Wuqiang had accumulated some prestige. After he yelled at them like that, the others immediately became a little timid.

After suppressing all the others, Zhang Wuqiang turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen.

"Monitor, I..."

Jiang Chen guessed what he was going to say, which was nothing more than saying that now that he was back, he could give the position of squad leader to him and he could continue to be the deputy squad leader.

"No need to be so troublesome. Qiangzi, you continue to be the squad leader and don't worry about me." Jiang Chen waved his hand and said indifferently.

"That won't do. We agreed before that whoever is stronger will be the squad leader. Now that you're back, of course you have to be the squad leader!"

Zhang Wuqiang said firmly, and even looked like he would quit if Jiang Chen didn't agree.

However, Jiang Chen's next words immediately blocked him.

"Hey, I, your squad leader, have now been promoted to platoon leader and am your immediate superior..."

Jiang Chen patted Zhang Wuqiang on the shoulder and said in a tone of a leader encouraging his subordinates: "So, Xiao Wuzi, you should continue to be the squad leader."

"Depend on!!!"

In an instant, not only Zhang Wuqiang, but everyone in Class 5 burst into swearing.
