My Military Career in a Parallel World

Chapter 33 The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, the deputy squad leader’s first experienc

"Okay, only two left!"

"another one!"

"Reward yourself with another one!"

"Send another one to the squad leader!"

Hanging on the horizontal bar, Jiang Chen felt like he was going to go numb, and he finally understood what that sentence on the Internet meant.

Never believe what the squad leader says!

Damn it, the last one he mentioned will never be finished, it will always be N+1.

"Squad leader, please let me go, I really can't take it anymore..." Hanging on the horizontal bar, Jiang Chen said with a look of despair on his face.

However, as the squad leader, how could Li Gang let him go?

"A man can't say he can't do it! You are now a soldier, and the deputy monitor of our fifth squad. As a man and a soldier, you can't say you can't do it. As the deputy monitor of our class, you must strive to be a benchmark!"

"Hurry up, this is really the last one. Don't you see that the brothers from other classes are all looking over here? As the deputy squad leader of Class 5, do you have the nerve to embarrass our Class 5 in the company? Come on!"

"..." Jiang Chen was too tired to complain. He even regretted being the deputy monitor.

They say the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. I didn’t expect the retribution to come so quickly. I just became the deputy monitor this morning and I suffered the retribution immediately.

"what!!!"

Jiang Chen roared, squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, and pulled his body up with all his might.

However, this is reality, not fiction, and he is certainly not a protagonist who can explode at any time.

Three kilometers plus push-ups and sit-ups had already consumed a lot of physical energy. Now his body was almost reaching its limit. His hands holding the horizontal bar were shaking and out of control. Jiang Chen tried his best, but could only pull it up a little bit.

"come on! Come on!"

"Come on, deputy squad leader!"

The other comrades in Class 5 were also busy cheering on the sidelines.

After their commotion, the news that Jiang Chen became the deputy monitor spread.

"what!!"

As his body slowly rose, the muscles in Jiang Chen's arms trembled faster and faster. When his chest was level with the horizontal bar, the last bit of his strength was exhausted.

Jiang Chen's hands went limp and he fell heavily to the sand below.

"Next!"

Looking at Jiang Chen who was helped to stand up by the people from Class 5, Li Gang nodded with satisfaction.

These are the soldiers led by Li Gang!

If you want to be a good soldier and a qualified officer, cultural level is important, but military quality is the foundation of a soldier. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

The intensity of training is slowly increasing. I only ran three kilometers the day before yesterday, added push-ups and sit-ups yesterday, and added pull-ups today.

The short one-hour morning exercise felt like a century to the recruits.

Tired, just tired, and still tired.

However, it is not completely without benefits. High-intensity training can greatly relieve body aches.

It’s amazing. When I woke up in the morning, my whole body ached so much that it was even a problem whether I could get out of bed, let alone train.

But under the pressure of the squad leaders, as I practiced a little, I found that the pain was not so severe anymore.

The arms and thighs that were originally extremely sore gradually returned to normal. Although I could still feel the pain, it did not affect my daily activities at all.

There were a lot of training items today, and everyone was slow at the beginning, so time was delayed a little. By the time Jiang Chen and the others returned to the dormitory, it was almost 7:20.

Fortunately, when I was working overtime in the morning, the dormitory had already been tidied up. After I wiped off the sweat on my body, washed my face, and changed into camouflage clothes, it was almost time for breakfast.

"Damn, I'm so busy all day that I don't even have time to wash clothes. My clothes are about to stink!" Chu Fei couldn't help but curse as he smelled the strong smell of sweat on his camouflage uniform.

"Aren't there two sets of clothes given out? Why don't you just change into one?" Luo Ming, who was getting dressed nearby, replied casually.

"Today is only Wednesday. If I change now, what should I wear for the next few days?" Chu Fei said with a pout as he put on the clothes despite the discomfort.

After changing clothes and putting the folded physical training clothes back into the closet and closing the door, Jiang Chen heard the conversation between the two and said casually, "You are lazy. In this weather, clothes will dry in a short time if you hang them on the balcony. Who can you blame if you don't wash them yourself?"

"Come on, I might as well just wear it to survive. I'm so tired from training every day, how can I have the energy to wash clothes?" Chu Fei didn't refute.

This day was basically the same as yesterday. After lunch, we continued to train in military posture while the weather was not so hot in the morning.

I thought I could get a lunch break at noon, but I didn't expect that Li Gang would have a change of heart today. He didn't let everyone work overtime to fold quilts at noon. Instead, he changed the project and asked them to recite rules and regulations for an hour, and take the rest of the time for lunch break.

Hearing that they finally didn’t have to fold their quilts and could take a lunch break, a group of recruits were so excited that they almost cheered out loud.

Fortunately, after the training in the past few days, the word "discipline" has been engraved in everyone's heart. Restraining their excitement, they quickly took out the rules and regulations, sat on their small stools and began to recite them.

Of course, when it comes to memorizing a text, some people really put their heart into it, while others just take it easy.

For example, Chu Fei, this guy seemed to be reciting the rules and regulations, but in fact his mind had already flown away. He stared blankly at the front, and his arms mechanically flipped the pages of the book. It was obvious that he was an old hand at slacking off, and he must have done similar things many times in school before.

There are more than one similar incidents. Luo Ming behind Jiang Chen and Li Qiang next to Chu Fei both made the same move.

In fact, Jiang Chen himself could hardly concentrate on it.

There was no way. Although he had accepted the original owner's memories in full, the two were not the same person after all. Jiang Chen did not have the ability of the original owner to hold a book and read it all day long.

However, as an adult who has been tempered by society for a long time, he still has the most basic self-control.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. If he can't even pass this level, he can forget about entering the military academy and becoming an officer.

Time passed by little by little. We continued the military posture training in the afternoon and started physical training at five o'clock. It was still the familiar formula and the familiar taste.

First, do a three-kilometer warm-up, then do push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups in turn, and finally finish with a two-hundred-meter frog jump.

……

"Damn it! Don't you have a brain?! It's been three days, three days of training, why are you still using the same hands and feet?"

"Listen to my command, one! Two..."

"Damn it, you lifted that foot?! How did I end up with two idiots like you!"

At noon on the fourth day, the roar of the fourth squad leader was still echoing in the playground, adding a bit of joy to the originally boring training.

Whenever we were training to march in step or goose-step, we could always hear the roar of the fourth squad leader, like an angry lion. Now we were all used to it. If we didn’t hear the roar of the fourth squad leader during training, we would always feel like something was missing…

This is why the instructors always remind the recruits in daily meetings not to physically punish or beat or scold the recruits. Otherwise, given the furious look on Squad Leader Four's face, Li Gang was really afraid that the two recruits would be beaten to death by him.

Among all the squad leaders in the recruit company, Li Gang has the most leisure time now.

It’s not that he teaches well, but that they have a deputy monitor.

What does the deputy monitor do?

Four words can sum it all up: assist the squad leader.

"You guys step out of the line! Everyone else, disperse and take a ten-minute break." Pointing at a few recruits who failed the training, Li Gang said while standing in front of the team.

"Yes!" The recruits had already been exhausted by the sun, and upon hearing this, they rushed to the shade of the trees.

"Jiang Chen!"

Just as he was about to slip away in the team, he heard Li Gang in front of him calling him. Jiang Chen's mouth was bitter, and he stopped and stood at attention: "Here!"

"You teach them how to stand at attention and at ease. I'm going to drink some water to cool down." Li Gang said with a smile.

I knew that this guy was up to no good!

Jiang Chen complained in his heart, but on the surface he showed no change. He stood at attention, saluted Li Gang and said, "Yes!"

This is not the first time he has done something similar. Ever since he became the deputy monitor, Li Gang seemed to have found a new toy.

During training, he was given various extra tasks. Others did 50 push-ups, but he did 70, 80, or even 100. As for pull-ups, the best recruit in the company could only do about 15, barely meeting the standard of excellence. However, Li Gang insisted that he was the only deputy squad leader in the company. Under such great pressure, Jiang Chen had to demonstrate his worth.

If others can make fifteen, he will also make fifteen...

mmp!

When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It sounds easy for you to say it. He graduated from a martial arts school and has been practicing martial arts since he was young, training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

What level is he at?

Can the two be confused?!

But Li Gang insisted that Jiang Chen was the first deputy squad leader in the company and he had to set an example, otherwise the company commander, platoon leaders and other squad leaders would think that he, Li Gang, was nepotism.

Either give up the position of acting deputy monitor, or grit your teeth and persevere. There are only two options. What can Jiang Chen do?

Give up this deputy monitor, let him develop for a while, and wait for the unified selection of deputy monitors?

That's definitely impossible. Do you really think the army is your own business, where you can work when you want and not work when you don't want to?

If Jiang Chen dares to give up, he will never be able to get the position of deputy squad leader in the recruit company again. Even if this matter gets out, he will have to pay several times more to become the deputy squad leader after he is transferred to another company.

This is very reasonable. Only those who have the ability and capability to persevere can be said to be successful. Those who have no ability and capability are unworthy of the position.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and this is exactly what Jiang Chen is talking about.

He became the deputy squad leader on the third day in the recruit company. He is currently the only deputy squad leader in the company. If he is not the first to stand out, who will?

Not only the veteran squad leaders were staring at him, but the other recruits were also staring at him.

A benchmark, a role model. If you can’t live up to the expectations, don’t join.

"Okay, stop looking so sad and help me train them. I'll go buy some water and treat you to some popsicles later." Li Gang walked up to Jiang Chen with a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder gently and said with a smile.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately smiled happily.

In the hot summer, when you have ice water to drink and popsicles to eat, why would you need a bicycle?

Although everyone brought a kettle when they came, in today's weather, even if they were placed under the shade of a tree, the kettle would have turned into hot water. How could it be as enjoyable as drinking ice water or eating popsicles?

A bottle of ice water and a popsicle in exchange for ten minutes of rest time, this is a worthwhile deal.

After walking up to the few people, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to start training.

"Don't be nervous. We're not asking you to go to war. We're just training your formation. Why should you be so nervous?" Jiang Chen smiled and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

There may be real idiots in the world, but they are definitely not the people in front of us.

Being able to pass the physical examination, home visit and political review and join the army means that they have no health problems.

So, the problem can only be psychological.

Jiang Chen knew very well what it was like to be trained by the veteran squad leader. After being yelled at and scolded a few times, he felt uneasy and was afraid of making mistakes. The more afraid he was, the more mistakes he made. In addition, he was called upon to practice extra, which made him even more nervous.

This issue may be a bit tricky for veteran squad leaders.

After all, they are the squad leaders, and it is normal to be nervous when facing them.

Jiang Chen is different. He is a new recruit just like the people in front of him. They have equal status. With a little time to buffer, he will be able to get out of his nervous mood.

Facts have also proved that Jiang Chen's idea was correct.

After they relaxed mentally, Jiang Chen led them to practice again. Although a few of them still made mistakes occasionally, they found that Jiang Chen did not scold them loudly like the squad leader. Instead, he comforted them and asked them to slow down and think clearly before taking action.

After repeating it several times and gradually adapting, the movements of several people became more and more smooth.

Even if Jiang Chen took the initiative to speed up the commands later, they were able to respond quickly and execute them accurately.

Li Gang came back with water and popsicles and saw several people training from afar.

However, before he could be happy for long, he had just taken two steps forward when he saw that several people who had been practicing well suddenly became chaotic again.

Being nervous can lead to bad things...

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to comfort them, but when he raised his head, he saw that there seemed to be something wrong in the looks of several people, and he immediately realized what was going on.

Looking back, he saw that Li Gang had walked behind him without him noticing and was staring at the new recruits with a scrutinizing look.

He is not blind. Just now, several people were doing fine, but as soon as he appeared, everything became a mess.

If Li Gang didn't know that these new recruits didn't have the courage, he would have thought they were deliberately looking for trouble.

"Don't be nervous. The squad leader is also a human being, not a lion or tiger. Take a deep breath and relax. If you really can't do it, just pretend he doesn't exist." Jiang Chen smiled and comforted them.

But seeing that several recruits were still glancing to the side from time to time, Jiang Chen knew that this was still not enough to ease the tension in their hearts.

"Squad leader, why don't you turn around and let them get used to it? Everything was fine before you came, but everything went haywire as soon as you arrived."

This is the advantage of being the deputy monitor. Jiang Chen no longer has to be as nervous when facing Li Gang as before. He can just make a joke and play around with Li Gang, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it.

Acting deputy monitor, that is also a monitor.

When Li Gang was not around, he was the squad leader of Class 5, and had to recognize him even when the company commander or regiment commander came.

"Mm, am I that scary?" Li Gang muttered, but still turned around obediently.

This is the difference between a deputy squad leader and an ordinary recruit.
