My Military Career in a Parallel World

The fourth squad leader was complaining in his heart but dared not show it on his face. He watched all the leaders leave. His face immediately turned gloomy. Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Li Gang who had been waiting at the door.

"What do you want to do? Aren't you tired of watching the fun?!" The fourth squad leader turned around and said in a bad tone.

Li Gang ignored his attitude and forcibly pulled him out of the dormitory: "Stop talking nonsense, come out and tell you something."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"

"Don't be so angry. Now that it has happened, just find a way to solve it."

Pulling the squad leader to a corner, Li Gang spoke up, "It is true that it is a serious violation of discipline for new recruits to keep mobile phones privately, but you must control your temper and don't get carried away and hit people. This is not the past..."

This was the most important purpose of Li Gang's trip. He and the fourth squad leader were soldiers of the same year. After joining the army, although they were not assigned to the same company, they were not far away from each other. He knew what kind of temper this guy had.

Times are different now, and for the sake of his old comrade's future, he felt he had to give him a reminder.

Otherwise, this stubborn donkey might really hit someone if he gets angry.

"Okay, get out of here now. I don't even have this amount yet, so why do I need you to remind me!" After being disturbed by Li Gang, the anger in the fourth squad leader's chest slowly subsided. He realized that Li Gang was doing this for his own good.

But, men can’t always cry like women.

"Well, as long as you know it in your mind." Seeing that his condition had indeed calmed down, Li Gang did not stay long. After saying this, he turned and left.

After watching Li Gang walk into the dormitory gate of Class 5, the fourth squad leader turned around and went back.

As for how to deal with the recruit who secretly kept a mobile phone, he has regained his composure and naturally will not use extreme methods such as beating or corporal punishment.

Strictly follow the military regulations. If anyone is found to be privately possessing and using a mobile phone and does not cause any confidentiality breach or leakage, they will be given a warning or a serious warning and their information will be recorded in their personal file.

If confidentiality is leaked, the individual will face prosecution and criminal liability.

The mobile phone has been taken away by the company commander. Whether it has caused any confidentiality leaks will depend on the results of the investigation.

But no matter what, you can't avoid the punishment of a warning.

I have to write 5,000 words, so why don’t you start with 10,000 words?

The fourth squad leader already had an idea in his mind.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Li Gang explained to everyone in Class 5 the consequences of secretly keeping mobile phones.

Jiang Chen didn't know what other people were thinking, but he saw that when the squad leader mentioned pursuing criminal responsibility, Chu Fei next to him trembled violently. It was obvious that this guy had definitely thought of hiding his cell phone before.

The aftermath of this incident has not yet ended.

In the evening, the one-hour internet time that was originally agreed upon was ruined because the new recruit secretly hid his cell phone.

After the news broadcast ended, the instructor lectured them on this matter for almost two hours and only let them go before the evening roll call.

As for taking Jiang Chen to the supermarket for shopping, let alone, during the meal, the three platoon leaders looked gloomier than each other, and Li Gang was not stupid, so how could he run over at this time and get into trouble.

After returning from the evening roll call, Li Gang gave Jiang Chen a few instructions and left with his notebook and pen.

Because of the secret storage of the cell phone, the evening meeting has been postponed. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely have to work overtime until very late tonight.

After suffering a few losses, everyone has learned their lesson and will not relax their vigilance until the footsteps disappear at the end of the corridor.

Chu Fei was the first to speak: "Alas, the wonderful holiday is over! I have to get up early to work overtime tomorrow. How can I get through this day..."

"What else can I do? I can fold the quilt early so that I don't have to get up early every day to work overtime." Jiang Chen responded casually while installing the mosquito net.

"Deputy Class Leader, you make it sound so simple. Do you really think everyone is as perverted as you?" Chu Fei rolled his eyes and didn't want to continue chatting with Jiang Chen on this topic.

"Hey, what do you think will happen to the recruit in squad 4 who hid a cell phone? He won't be sent to a military court, will he?"

"That's not the case. You've only been in the army for a few days. Even if you want to leak military secrets, you need to have the opportunity to get access to them."

"It's also..."

"However, a warning is serious enough, not to mention the possibility of it being put on file."

Thinking of what the instructor said during class, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

At first they thought it was no big deal, but after hearing what the instructor said, they realized the seriousness of the matter.

In order to make the recruits understand the seriousness of the matter, Lu Ming also gave them several examples.

For example, the issues of desertion and withdrawal from the army have been most frequently mentioned in recent years.

Retreating from the army is not a big deal, but being defined as a deserter is a serious matter.

Once the word "deserter" appears in your file, not only you will suffer in your lifetime, but also your descendants.

The preferential treatment given by the state to conscripts when they join the army will be returned double, and you will be put on the list of dishonest persons. Don't even think about taking out a loan, and you will be cut off from any preferential policies of the state.

They will not be allowed to apply for further studies, return to school, or go abroad within two years. A permanent label of "refusal to perform military service" will be added to their household registration book. They will not be hired by any state-owned enterprise or public institution, and they will not be allowed to take the national civil service examination.

Those who cause serious impacts may even be regarded as negative examples and reported to the whole society through the media.

If it happens during war, they will also face criminal penalties, with a minimum sentence of up to three years in prison.

Lu Ming also used a real case that happened two years ago to serve as a warning to the new recruits.

Two years ago, it was also in the 228th Regiment, at the current recruit camp.

After arriving at the army, a new recruit wrote three applications to the company for resignation on the grounds that he could not adapt to the work and life in the army. He deliberately disobeyed management and missed training without reason. After repeated education and persuasion by the squad leader, platoon leader, instructor and parents failed, he insisted on leaving. During this period, he had an argument with the squad leader and retaliated during the night rest time, and was injured by the squad leader in self-defense.

This incident became a big deal and the army directly informed the local government.

The instructor also played the local news of that year for them to watch.

Lu Ming did not tell the recruits about the final result, but they all knew the seriousness of the matter after just a quick thought.

This also dispelled some bad thoughts in the minds of many recruits.

This topic was a bit heavy to talk about. Jiang Chen looked up at the wall clock and saw that there were still ten minutes before lights out.

So he said, "Let's go, let's go, take a bath while there is still hot water at night, there will be no such shop after this village."

"You guys go ahead, Wenjie and I will just go to the bathroom and wipe it off later."

It has been almost a week since they arrived at the army, but they still can't adapt to the army's large open bathhouse. When they heard Jiang Chen say he wanted to take a shower, they immediately started to back off.

"Hurry up, don't wait for me to carry you away. The squad leader told me to keep an eye on you before he left. If you two don't go, the others can't go either!" Jiang Chen said without question.

It’s not that he is targeting these two people, but, in the army, you have to learn to adapt. It is impossible to not go to the bathhouse to take a bath for two or three years.

Before, everyone was a new recruit, and he had no control over how others chose him, but now he can't do that. Since he is the deputy squad leader, he has to be responsible for them.

Seeing that the two were still wasting time, Jiang Chen didn't want to waste any more time talking to them. He waved his hand and signaled Li Qiang and others nearby to carry them to the bathhouse.

"Do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to help you?" Li Qiang's tall and strong body blocked the light from above his head. He stared at the two of them with a sly smile on his face. For some reason, he felt as if he was a kidnapper bullying a good boy.

Being stared at by Li Qiang made them feel a little scared. They swallowed their saliva subconsciously and nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "No need, we can walk by ourselves, we can walk by ourselves..."

The group drove to the bathhouse in a mighty procession.

After the last experience, the two of them were not as resistant as expected this time.

However, stripping naked is definitely impossible.

When being forced to take off their pants by Li Qiang, Zhou Xinghai and He Wenjie showed a very determined attitude and were almost ready to die to prove their determination.

In order to avoid accidentally causing trouble and to avoid leaving any psychological trauma on the two children, Jiang Chen, as the deputy monitor, decisively took action to stop the mischief of several people.

Zhou Xinghai and the other two almost thanked Jiang Chen as if he were their savior, but they didn't know that the mastermind who instigated Li Qiang and others to pull down their pants was none other than their deputy squad leader, Jiang Chen.

Since there was hot water in the bathhouse tonight, quite a few people came to take a bath. By the time they returned from their bath, the lights-out signal had already sounded.

No one dared to delay and hurried back to the dormitory. Without thinking twice, they turned off the lights first.

They didn't want to be scolded before going to bed, and they didn't want to wait for the patrol sentries to come to their door.

"Why hasn't the squad leader come back yet? He won't be back tonight." The training intensity was not that high these two days, and there was more rest. Everyone lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while.

"They should be in a meeting. Didn't the monitor say before that there will be a summary meeting this weekend?"

"What a pity! I have an hour of internet time. Don't let me know who hid the phone. Otherwise, I will make him pay!"

"Alas, Li Dapao said he would replenish our supplies next week, but I don't know if he'll keep his word..."

"Haha, it's uncertain. It would be fine if we can still get the mobile red flag next week, but if we lose it..." Chu Fei revealed the truth in one sentence.

"Hey, deputy squad leader, didn't the squad leader promise you to go shopping at the supermarket? Has that fallen through?" Zhang Meng, who was on the upper bunk, stretched his head and looked at Jiang Chen.

"No, squad leader will find a chance to take me there tomorrow." Jiang Chen replied, and then said to the others: "Shut up and sleep quietly. If you can't sleep, go to the bathroom and memorize the rules and regulations!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dormitory suddenly became quiet.

Now, Jiang Chen, the deputy squad leader, has some deterrent power.

When the squad leader is not around, Jiang Chen is their superior. If he tells you to go to the washroom, you have to stay there and feed the mosquitoes. Even if the company commander comes, you have nothing to say.

This is the right that the squad leader should have.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one was talking, Jiang Chen immediately entered the dream space.

However, considering that the squad leader was not there, Jiang Chen did not dare to let his guard down just in case. While training, he also had to pay some attention to the situation outside.

"Everyone go to sleep quietly!"

"What are you making so much noise for? Just shut up and go to sleep!"

Not long after, the soldiers on night patrol came over. When they heard the noise in the dormitory, they immediately went up and started scolding.

The squad leaders had to work overtime and attend a meeting at night. It was okay for Squad 5 because they had Jiang Chen as the deputy squad leader, but the other squads could only be left to the soldiers guarding the camp to take care of them.

After a scolding, the dormitory building finally quieted down. Patrolling soldiers kept checking the corridors with flashlights. Even a few new recruits who were squatting in the toilet were forcibly sent back.

Faintly, Jiang Chen heard someone shouting that his butt wasn't wiped, his pants weren't put on properly, etc...

There was no other way. With limited manpower, they could not possibly take care of all the new recruits. In addition, the squad leaders were not there, so it was inevitable that some people would be tempted to take the opportunity to go to the toilet and smoke a few cigarettes.

After all, cigarettes are not large items like mobile phones. If you really want to hide them, you can still hide a few.

The noise continued until after eleven o'clock in the evening, when the squad leaders returned from their meeting and the recruits finally settled down.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, Li Gang woke everyone up on time.

Maybe it’s because of too much relaxation over the weekend, some people started to stay in bed again.

However, when Li Gang pretended to get the small yellow basin, the few people who were still lying in bed immediately woke up. They jumped out of bed one by one, put on their clothes in no time, tidied up the mosquito net, picked up the quilts and began to fold them.

Of course, every time this happened, Jiang Chen, who was still lying in bed and sleeping in, became the target of everyone's hatred.

Envy, jealousy, gnashing of teeth, indignation...

Even though they knew these little tricks wouldn't work on Jiang Chen, they just wouldn't believe it and had to tease him a few times.

For example, when Zhang Meng, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, took the quilt, he deliberately put his big smelly feet next to Jiang Chen's nose, and when he unfolded the quilt, he deliberately fanned him...

In short, there is only one purpose: we have to get up early and work overtime, so you can forget about sleeping peacefully.

However, the more they did this, the more Jiang Chen refused to let them have their way.

I covered my head with the quilt and my consciousness sank into the dream space. You can do whatever you want to me, but I will not get up.

Chu Fei and others were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do to him.

As for doing something even more extreme... forget it. This guy is now the deputy monitor, so there's no guarantee that he won't find a chance to make things difficult for them.

At six o'clock in the morning, led by Ge Hongtao and others, a group of new recruits came to the regiment headquarters again to participate in the flag-raising ceremony.

This time, after a week of training, they already looked more or less like soldiers, and they no longer felt out of place standing in the flag-raising procession.

The last time, everyone had just left the arms of their parents and the comfort of campus. They had no understanding of the word "soldier". Except for a few people, most of the recruits were just watching the fun.

Now, seeing that bright flag rising again, everyone has an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.

If I have to describe it, perhaps it is a sense of responsibility and mission, a feeling that is unique to the Chinese people.

Five thousand years have passed, our opponents have changed again and again, and we have witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, with glory and humiliation. But no matter what kind of suffering, it cannot stop our ambition to rise.

Our ancestors completed the journey of three generations in one generation and suffered the hardships of three generations. In just twenty years, they completed the two hundred years of development of the West.

just now……

Gazing at the flag in the sky that seemed to paint the entire sky bright red, Jiang Chen silently made a promise in his heart.

"China will surely rise and stand at the top of the world. No one, no one will dare to lay hands on our land and bully our people!!!"

Why are there always tears in my eyes?

Because I love this land deeply...

This poem, written by Mr. Ai with his deep love for the motherland and hatred for the invaders, perfectly interprets Jiang Chen's mood at the moment.
