My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Son, are you really okay?"

"Dad, I'm really fine. Please tell my mom and let her rest assured. I'm really fine. Don't you trust the military hospital?"

"It's nothing for me, it's mainly your mom who's worried... Hey, why did you hit me!"

"You are so careless. Your son is in the hospital, but you are fine. It seems you are not the one who is in the hospital!

And what you just hid from me, I will come back to settle the score with you later!"

"I have good intentions too! My son was injured in the army, the government will definitely take care of it. I tell you what can you do? You are more professional than the doctors in the hospital!"

"Hmph, not so good. Can't I go over and take care of my son? You are so heartless that you hid such a big thing from me..."

Perhaps because the old man was there, the two did not quarrel this time.

Jiang Chen listened to the quarrel between his parents on the other end of the phone and felt warm in his heart.

It seems that my parents in my previous life never showed this side of me...

After arguing with his wife for a few words and being glared at by the old man, Jiang Jianguo remembered that he was still holding the phone and quickly said, "Son, you don't know how big a commotion your contribution will be this time!

I hadn't thought about coming back at first, but the county called our mine directly. After the leader heard about it, he approved a month's leave for me!

My salary was paid as usual, along with travel allowances. The mine provided me with an air ticket when I came back.

Hehe, I, your dad, also got to ride on a plane thanks to you!

Listen to what happened on the plane, what are you calling here...

Yes, yes, stewardess!

I heard from the flight attendant on the plane that the class I was sitting in was called business class!

The treatment was so good! I had food and drinks along the way, and they even gave me a blanket because they thought I was cold...

Also, because of your matter this time, Master Decheng personally came out to lead people to worship their ancestors.

You don’t know the situation…”

Father Jiang became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he couldn't help but dance with joy.

"Hehe, I'm also taking advantage of your dad and lighting a stick of incense...

Your grandfather Decheng also said that when you come back, he will open a separate page of the family tree for you!"

The north is different from the south. After years of war and the influence of the Buzz Buzz Buzz Four, there are very few activities similar to ancestor worship in the north.

This can be seen from the fact that Jiang's father's generation no longer follows the family tradition of seniority.

However, this time it was different.

When the plaque for the first-class merit was sent to Linjiagou, the whole town was shocked.

As the largest family in Linjiagou, the Jiang family naturally cannot be without influence.

It is not like decades ago that countries have always been encouraging and supporting traditional cultures.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, the old village chief Jiang Decheng specifically found Mr. Jiang and asked for his opinion, and decided to restore the annual tradition of ancestor worship.

Even though the Jiang family hasn't held ancestor worship for decades, they still have all the necessary things.

The ancestral temple has everything.

Every year, everyone goes there to burn incense and worship their ancestors, but it’s not as grand as before.

Therefore, when Jiang's father talked about his experience of burning the first incense, his tone was still full of pride.

Although Jiang Chen was not as excited as his father, he was equally excited.

Open a single page of family tree!

I didn’t expect that the joke that was circulating on the Internet in my previous life would happen to me in this life!

Father Jiang wanted to say something else, but the old man next to him couldn't wait any longer and came over and snatched the microphone from his hand.

"Okay, get out of the way now that you're done talking."

Unlike Jiang's father's long speech, the old man only said one sentence.

"Well, you did a good job. You didn't embarrass me, your grandfather!"

The old man was very happy in his heart, but he managed to keep a calm expression.

After all, first-class merit is indeed very impressive, but it depends on who you are comparing with.

Compared to the students of Lu Zhi, Jiang Chen's achievements were definitely overwhelming, but in front of the old man...

Well, that's it.

"grandfather……"

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of what the principal said to him at the celebration meeting.

So, he asked tentatively: "Grandpa, do you know Li Jie?"

"Li Jie?"

Hearing this name, the old man was stunned.

"Why do you ask?"

Jiang Chen quickly recounted what happened that day.

"Li Jie is our principal. When he was awarding me the medals that day, he said to me at the end..."

After listening to Jiang Chen's narration, the old man did not have any special reaction. He just nodded and said, "Oh, don't worry about him. Just do what you should do!"

At the end of the conversation, after hesitating for a while, the old man said, "Chen'er."

"Grandpa, you say!"

“Grandpa knows that you are a good kid and won’t think of doing anything crooked, but grandpa still wants to remind you.

On the road of becoming a soldier, Grandpa will not provide you with any help. Everything depends on your own ability. Grandpa can only do one thing...

Make sure you are treated fairly!"

The old man slammed the ground with his cane.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen also replied solemnly: "Yes, Grandpa, I understand."

Then the grandfather and grandson talked about some other things, and Jiang Chen also talked about his experience in flood relief and rescue.

My younger sister Jiang Anan is studying in the county high school and has not come back yet, so she can only wait for Jiang Chen to call her next time.

After hanging up the phone and putting the phone in his pocket, Jiang Chen didn't have any thoughts on what the old man said.

He had never thought about relying on the old man's connections and background.

The ideological awareness of the older generation cannot be compared with that of modern people.

If the old man really wanted to do something, he wouldn't have stayed in the countryside hiding his identity for so many years.

Don't forget why the original owner joined the army.

If Jiang Chen hadn't traveled through time and hadn't had the help of the golden finger to get back a second-class merit, the old man would never have appeared in public again.

What's more, didn't the old man say, "Make sure he gets the fairest treatment."

This is enough.

The thing Jiang Chen is least afraid of is competition!

-

Moving to the dormitory didn't take much effort.

Everyone followed the team, carrying their luggage, and came to the rows of dormitory buildings that they had seen when they visited the campus before.

"This is the dormitory building of our combat command department. The first three buildings are for seniors and juniors, the back one is for sophomores, and the last one is your dormitory..."

After briefly introducing the dormitory building plan, the officer from the logistics department began to assign dormitories by name.

"Jiang Chen, Zhang Wuqiang, Wang Hai, Zhang Tao, Liu Meng, Li Li, Room 306."

"Yes!"

The six people whose names were called walked out of the queue, received their keys, and went upstairs to find their dormitories.

"315, 316, 317..."

"301, 302..."

"Squad leader, he should be here."

After walking around the corridor, I finally found the room marked 306.

When they opened the door, they saw a very standard university dormitory.

On the left hand side is a row of two bunk beds, both upper and lower can be used for living, on the right hand side is a bed on the upper side, a table and chair for studying and placing personal belongings on the lower side, and the most anticipated air conditioner hanging on the wall facing the dormitory door...

Going further inside, there are two cabinets for storing items. On the right is the bathroom, which can only be used for going to the toilet but not for taking a shower. There is also a washbasin at the bathroom door.

At the back is a sliding door, which leads to a small balcony with mops, brooms, buckets and other daily necessities.

"Damn, this is such a good place, with a bathroom! Should I say he is worthy of being called Lu Zhi?!"

Having been used to living in dormitories with more than a dozen people in a room, Zhang Wuqiang and others couldn't help but exclaim when they suddenly saw this kind of student dormitory.

They looked left and right, their faces full of excitement and joy.

There was no way. Unlike those students who entered the Army Command through the college entrance examination, these people were basically college entrance examination failures and had been staying in the army all the time. They had never seen a dormitory with a private bathroom.

Just thinking about not having to go out to the bathroom in the middle of the night was enough to make them excited for a long time.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Pack your things first. We still need to get textbooks later..."

Jiang Chen chose the bed closest to the door, put the bedding and luggage in place, clapped his hands and said.

"Yes, monitor!"

Everyone agreed with a smile.

As for why he called Jiang Chen squad leader...

When we were in the boot camp, we all listened to what the other senior cadets said.

After moving to the new dormitory, the school will let each dormitory elect a monitor, who can be understood as the head of the university dormitory, to manage dormitory hygiene and students' personal affairs, etc.

Jiang Chen and his classmates were moving into the dormitory and entering the real university life. On the other side, in the school conference room, Hong Haijiang, the commander of the recruit camp, was reporting on the work of the recruit camp and the performance of the students.

"Director, Minister, there are many talented students among this batch of students.

For example, the new recruits who had previously gone to fight floods and rescue people performed very well afterwards.

You can focus on observing!

In addition, there are military students..."

As he spoke, an introduction appeared on the big screen, which was Jiang Chen's detailed information.

"Jiang Chen, male, 19 years old, one year of military service, clean family background, parents are ordinary workers/farmers, grandfather is a veteran..."

In fact, Hong Haijiang didn't need to say much, because those present were all school leaders and they knew Jiang Chen's situation very well.

"Old Hong, you don't need to introduce yourself any further. He is our first-class hero. This alone is enough to show that this comrade is loyal to the country and the people. He deserves our special training!!!"

The Dean of Studies Yan Yisong stood up and interrupted Hong Haijiang with a smile and said.

The head of the training department on the other side also nodded and smiled, "Well, it's settled then. This young comrade will be included in the backbone training plan for next year."

Since the big boss has spoken, naturally others will not have any objections. What's more, Jiang Chen's performance is worthy of such attention.

"Director, Minister, this is what I think..."

However, Hong Haijiang's goal was obviously not limited to this. After the two leaders finished speaking, he continued: "Since the new millennium, thanks to the great success of my country's reform and opening up, the people's living and economic conditions have gradually become better. But on the other hand, the new students we have recruited in recent years have become increasingly difficult to manage, especially last year and this year..."

Hong Haijiang gave several examples.

"Last year, there was a scandal in the recruit camp where some students used connections to pass the physical examination. Two students dropped out because they could not accept the strict management of the army. In addition, many students in the command department tried to transfer to non-command majors in order to avoid high-intensity training, etc.

The situation this year is not much better..."

Hong Haijiang also talked about the student who was forced to drop out of school and treated as a deserter.

As he spoke, the faces of the school leaders gradually became solemn.

This is indeed a big problem.

In order to deal with this situation, the country has issued a special document "strictly prohibiting corporal punishment and beatings of new recruits", but the effect has been minimal.

Hong Haijiang has his own views on this matter.

He doesn't think that young people today are necessarily worse than before, it's just that he hasn't found the right way to guide them.

Hong Haijiang, who has been in charge of the new recruits camp, feels this much more deeply than others.

When it comes to patriotism, young people like Jiang Chen have a much higher degree of recognition of the country than the previous generation.

This is not an exaggeration by Hong Haijiang but a fact!

Take the simplest example. Aren’t all the domestic brands of later generations, from clothing to mobile phones to cars, supported by this group of young people?

They are not like those people nowadays who only mindlessly praise foreign countries and lick their boots without any bottom line, as if everything abroad is better.

The young soldiers were eager to establish merit, and this was not just talk.

As time goes by and the country becomes stronger, this phenomenon and sentiment will only grow bigger and bigger...

Just like before Jiang Chen traveled through time, when talking about foreign countries, few people had any special opinions except for some foreign admirers who had vested interests or were completely brainwashed.

If your product is really good, we will naturally choose it. If it is not good, no one will flatter it.

Hong Haijiang's idea was very simple. He wanted to establish Jiang Chen as a typical example, a role model, a beacon that could provide guidance for future young students.

Jiang Chen’s own conditions also meet the requirements very well.

Age is not important, the most important thing is the quality he demonstrates.

Loyalty to the country, responsibility to the people, courage to sacrifice, courage to take the lead...

Listening to Hong Haijiang's narration, Yan Yisong and others couldn't help but nod.

This is a good idea, and Jiang Chen’s conditions are very suitable for being set as a benchmark.

After all, a 19-year-old first-class hero in peacetime is something you’ve probably never even heard of, let alone seen.

The only question now is whether Jiang Chen himself, as a role model and benchmark, can maintain his current performance.

this point is very important.

I can't just set you up as a role model/benchmark, and then you get overtaken or your reputation falls apart the next day...

"This matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed by the school party committee before a decision can be made. So, Xiaohong, go back and organize your ideas into a document and submit it."

In the end, it was the Dean of Studies Yan Yisong who made the final decision.

"Yes!"

The issue of setting an example and a benchmark still needs to be discussed, but it is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Chen will be the focus of attention and enter the backbone training program.

The next day, Jiang Chen, who had just moved into the new dormitory, received a notice.

"Backbone training?"

Hong Haijiang nodded gently and explained with a smile: "Well, the backbone training plan is a measure implemented by our school every year.

What it basically means is that you have been included in the key focus list, and the school will do its best to train you as long as there is an opportunity!

For example, the annual evaluation of outstanding students, as well as exchanges and study abroad, etc.

Also, when there are opportunities to lead troops in the future, such as in the recruit camp, the school will give priority to selecting from among the key members like you.

For example, from now on you are already the platoon leader of the freshman class of the command department!"
