My Military Career in a Parallel World

In the dormitory, Li Gang sat at the table and asked casually, "What is Article 16 of the Confidentiality Regulations?"

"Report, Article 16 of the Confidentiality Regulations states that the production, method, transmission, use, reproduction, storage, transfer, and destruction of military secret carriers must strictly comply with the approval, registration, and signature procedures, and adopt corresponding confidentiality measures." Jiang Chen answered fluently.

"What is Article 22 of the Confidentiality Regulations?"

"Article 22 of the Confidentiality Regulations states that when transmitting military secrets in wired or wireless communications, appropriate confidentiality measures must be taken according to their level of confidentiality."

"Article 27."

"Article 27 of the Confidentiality Regulations states that military secrets must not be disclosed to family members, relatives, friends, or other irrelevant personnel!"

……

Li Gang asked several more questions in succession, and Jiang Chen answered them word for word.

"Well, let me finally mention the ten things you shouldn't do when it comes to keeping secrets!"

"Ten things not allowed in confidentiality work: 1. Confidential personnel are not allowed to disclose secrets to any organization or individual at will; 2. Non-confidential personnel are not allowed to illegally learn secrets for any reason or through any means; 3. State secrets are not allowed to be discussed on mobile phones or ordinary phones; 4. Confidential computers are not allowed to be connected to the Internet... 9. Unauthorized copying, excerpting, destroying and privately retaining confidential documents and materials are not allowed; 10. Confidential documents and materials and confidential computers are not allowed to be taken out of the office or home to handle confidential documents."

Jiang Chen recited it fluently, as if he was reciting from a book.

Li Gang nodded with satisfaction. As expected, he could score over 600 points in the college entrance examination. He was really fast at memorizing things!

"Yeah, good! You passed."

Standing at attention and saluting, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, squad leader!"

Sitting down next to the bed, Zhang Meng, who was reciting the confidentiality agreement, immediately gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up: "Great, Brother Chen, it's exactly the same as what's written in the book!"

"Oh, that's nothing, this is just the beginning."

Jiang Chen looked like he didn't care, but deep down he was thinking: "After spending dozens of hours on this, even a pig should be able to recite it by heart..."

"Brother Chen, do you have any tricks? Please teach me. I just can't get into it!" Seeing that Jiang Chen passed the spot check smoothly, Chu Fei also came over.

"What kind of skills does this require? Just memorize it by rote." Jiang Chen spread his hands.

"Ah... I had to memorize lessons in school, and I have to memorize lessons in the army. I should have continued to go to school!" Chu Fei threw the books on the bed, holding his head with both hands, looking like he was about to collapse from reading.

His words touched everyone's heart. Except for Jiang Chen, the lucky guy who got admitted to a 985 university for free, everyone else nodded in agreement when they heard his words.

Yes, if you can concentrate on studying, who would want to be a soldier? If you have to go, you should go to military school and become an officer after graduation. Isn’t that good?

……

After reciting the rules and regulations, Jiang Chen naturally got his own mobile phone.

Although the phone has been in the baggage storage for a whole week, anyone who has used an old Nokia phone knows the standby time.

He turned on his phone and the screen showed that only one bar of battery was left. He opened the address book and found his home phone number, then dialed it.

Although mobile phones have become popular in this era, no one in the family has their own mobile phone except Jiang's father who works away from home all year round.

The mobile phone in Jiang Chen's hand was bought by his father in the county before he joined the army.

However, no mobile phone does not mean no phone calls.

Jingle Bell……

After a ring, Jiang's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey."

"Mom, it's me."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Jiang's mother greeted him with a mixture of joy and excitement: "Chen'er, how are you doing in the army? Are you tired..."

"I heard that people in the South like to put sugar in everything they eat. You like spicy food so much, can you get used to it?"

"Also, I heard that it rains and blows all the time there..."

Mother Jiang said a lot and asked a lot of questions in one breath. If it was Jiang Chen in the past, he might have thought it was noisy and even interrupted his mother. But now his heart was filled with happiness. He quietly waited for his mother to finish her words. Jiang Chen then spoke:

"It's okay. It's normal to be a little tired in the army."

"I'm used to being here. Don't worry. The recruit company's kitchen staff also takes good care of us. They cook different dishes every day..."

After chatting on the balcony for more than ten minutes, the mother and son ended the call.

There is nothing fun about mobile phones nowadays. After reporting to his family that he was safe, Jiang Chen handed over the phone.

"Squad leader, I'm going to the bathroom to wash clothes." After taking out all the dirty clothes from the closet and saying hello to Li Gang, Jiang Chen went out with the small yellow basin.

When passing by other dormitories, he could vaguely hear the sound of reading from inside. Apparently, Jiang Chen and his class were not the only ones who had to recite the confidentiality regulations...

"Look at others! They have been memorizing this for several days. Is a confidentiality clause that difficult?!"

Everyone was studying hard in the dormitory, and Jiang Chen, who was walking in the corridor with a small yellow basin in his hand, looked very different.

Obviously, he became the reason for other squad leaders to teach the new recruits a lesson.

"Alas, this wave of hatred has reached its peak again." Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

This is not the first time this has happened. Ever since he became the deputy squad leader, he has become the target of all the new recruits in the company.

For the entire morning, the recruits were basically reciting rules and regulations, and only a few were able to move freely.

However, by the afternoon, the situation was much better. Except for some unlucky ones, most of the recruits successfully passed the spot checks of their squad leaders.

It’s not that they can really recite the confidentiality regulations like Jiang Chen, nor is it that the squad leaders are merciful and let them go.

Firstly, there is a certain element of luck involved in random checks; secondly, when you are checked, you are not required to memorize everything word for word; it is enough to get the general meaning.

There are actually only a few key questions that the squad leaders ask about. Apart from those, there are at most one to four other points.

It only takes one morning, and if you try a few times, you can basically pass it as long as your luck is not too bad.

And Chu Fei happened to be one of the unlucky ones...

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but every time it was his turn, Li Gang would give him a few difficult questions. Until the end of lunch break, Chu Fei still failed the spot check.

"Squad leader, please let me make the call for five more minutes, just five minutes!" Inside the dormitory, Chu Fei pleaded earnestly.

"No, five minutes means five minutes, not a second more!" Li Gang rejected his request without hesitation.

Chu Fei wanted to say something else, but when he met Li Gang's cold eyes, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.

During the five-minute call, Chu Fei did not call home. Instead, he spent five minutes chatting with his so-called girlfriend. Li Gang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but get goose bumps.

After one year of military service, the sow became as beautiful as Diao Chan.

As a man with normal sexual orientation and who has been solo for more than 20 years, Li Gang dare not let this guy continue to be so annoying.

As soon as the time came, he decisively took away Chu Fei's mobile phone.

……

In the afternoon, you can rest but you still have to continue training when it’s time to train.

Of course, the training intensity cannot be compared with yesterday.

As usual, we started with a three-kilometer warm-up, then an hour of military posture, then some drill practice. After reviewing all the items learned last week, the training ended at around four o'clock.

Five to six o'clock is the real entertainment time today. Platoon leader Zhao Hongbin led everyone to play on the basketball court for more than an hour.

However, the weekend's leisure time is almost over.

After dinner, there was still the usual half-hour news broadcast and Lu Ming’s drowsy political thought class.

I just got back to the dormitory and barely sat down when I heard a roar from outside: "Damn, who is so wicked that he even steals pants?!"

Everyone in Class 5 subconsciously looked outside the door, only to see Li Qiang walking in angrily with a stack of clothes.

"Qiangzi, what's going on?" Chu Fei asked first.

It would have been better if he hadn't asked, but as soon as he asked, Li Qiang's anger, which had just subsided, rose again.

"Mm, I don't know what wicked guy is, he took my pants that I hung outside!"

"There was no place to hang clothes on the balcony, so I took them outside to dry. As a result, now only one pair of shorts is left." As he said this, Li Qiang gestured a few times with the clothes in his arms.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't gestured. After gesturing, he realized that the pants in his hand looked a size smaller...

I picked up the clothes and tried them on again. The sleeves of the clothes, which originally fit me perfectly, were now almost pulled down to my forearms.

"I rely on!!"

Li Qiang's already red cheeks became even redder, and even his ears were flushed with red. Now, his eyes were almost flaming with fire.

Just by looking at everyone, one could feel the rage burning in his chest.

If Li Gang had not been in the class, Jiang Chen had no doubt that he would jump up and tear the clothes in front of him into pieces in the next second.

Li Qiang was very angry, but everyone else had an expression as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They could only hold it back for fear of bringing bad luck to Li Qiang.

There's no way around it. He's almost 2 meters tall, 1.9 meters, with broad shoulders and a big waist, and his face is as bloated as if Guan Yu has been reborn. Who wouldn't be scared when seeing him?

"Okay, don't be angry. This kind of thing is very common in the army." Finally, Li Gang took the initiative to stand up and comfort.

"No, squad leader, do you often encounter this kind of thing?!"

In a week, the new recruits have initially adapted to the survival rules of the army and are accustomed to the constraints of Li Gang, the squad leader. The words of their superiors are orders, and no matter how angry Li Qiang is, he dare not get angry at him.

"Of course, everyone's clothes are the same, so it's normal to wear the wrong ones or take the wrong ones. I'll teach you a way..." Li Gang said with a smile: "Wait a minute, hang up these clothes that you can't wear, then wait for ten minutes or so, and then go get them. I guarantee that the clothes you get back will fit you perfectly!"

"what???"

Now, let alone Li Gang, the person involved, even Jiang Chen and others who were watching the fun on the sidelines were all puzzled after hearing this.

What is the principle?

Will the army's clothes change according to body shape?

"What? You're right if you listen to me. This is called coordination. If you can't put it on, just coordinate it." Li Gang said mysteriously.

"Oh." The clothes he brought back were too small and he couldn't wear them even if he wanted to. No matter whether what Li Gang said was true or not, he had no choice but to believe in this path.

After agreeing, Li Qiang took the clothes and left.

It's strange to say, strange things happened one after another today. As soon as Li Qiang left, a roar came from the dormitory next door.

"Fuck, that bastard washed my quilt?!"

Although the sound was somewhat distorted after passing through the wall, they had become very familiar with this sound after so many days.

Not only the people in Class 5, but most of the recruits in the recruit company are probably familiar with the owner of this voice.

I heard it every day on the playground some time ago, how could I not be familiar with it!

"Everyone stay still. I'll go see what's going on." Li Gang was stunned at first, and then his dark face burst into laughter, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

After saying this, he ran out.

"Fuck, are you stupid?!"

"Who? I told you not to touch my quilt, ah!!!" The monitor of the fourth squad next door was furious, and his voice was so loud that not only Jiang Chen's class, but also the classes downstairs could hear it.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Zhang, calm down, calm down, don't be so angry late at night. It's just a quilt. The new recruits are kind-hearted. I see that your quilt is almost wrinkled, so I'll help you wash it..."

Li Gang was a guy with no good intentions. He said that he wanted the fourth squad leader to calm down, but he was actually secretly adding fuel to the fire.

"Li Dapao, stop talking nonsense and get out of here right now. You're an eyesore!"

The fourth squad leader was not going to give in. He shook off Li Gang's hand and turned around to start beating him up.

"Hey, you guy, how can you be so ungrateful?" Li Gang was shameless enough, and seeing that he had no signs of taking action again, he just stood at the door and watched the fun.

It was not enough for him to just watch, he also kept talking and turned the tables, making the fourth squad leader so angry that he almost kicked him out.

"Squad leader, it wasn't me, it was... it was... he said your quilt was dirty and asked me to help wash it..."

If Li Gang had not arrived in time, the fourth squad leader would have kicked him directly. Now he was spitted in the face. The new recruit didn't realize that he had caused a big trouble and hurriedly explained.

On the other side, in the dormitory of Class 5, including Li Qiang who had just returned, ten people all did the same thing, with their ears pressed against the wall, listening to the noise next door.

"See, I was right, there must be someone behind this!"

"Pfft... I'm dying of laughter. This new recruit must be a fool."

"Indeed, if you fall for such a simple trick, what else can you say but stupid?"

"The new recruits in their class are not good people. They watched their comrades jump into the pit, and no one warned them..."

"I guess it's because the fourth squad leader has a bad temper and curses at every turn, and these new recruits have been harboring bad intentions for a long time." Luo Ming revealed the truth in one sentence.

"We can't treat our own people like this. We live in the same dormitory and see each other every day. How are we going to get along in the future?" He Wenjie said worriedly.

Not all classes are as harmonious as Jiang Chen's.

We were all strangers before, with different personalities and preferences. Some people can play together and call each other brothers, but naturally there are also people who can't stand each other and can't play together. This is normal.
