My Military Career in a Parallel World

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the camp, they heard a shrill whistle behind them, and then the whole dormitory building seemed to turn into boiling water in an instant...

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to look back.

"This is an emergency assembly. You will also experience it in a few days. Walk carefully. Those two patrols may not have walked far." Li Gang reminded.

"Oh." Jiang Chen agreed and turned around quickly.

"By the way, why did those two pickets chase you before?"

"I don't know either. I was just standing at the door, and they came straight towards me..."

Jiang Chen briefly recounted what happened.

Li Gang pondered for a moment and said, "It's probably because you're not wearing epaulettes.

However, it's better to run away and try not to deal with these guys. They can always find problems even if there is nothing wrong."

As he spoke, Li Gang gave him a few more examples.

From the simplest appearance to the way you stand, walk, etc., these guys can always find some problems.

That's fine. After all, these problems are just verbal criticism at best and are not very serious.

The key is the processing results, which will generally be reported.

When reporting, it is not just your name that appears, but also the introduction of your regiment, battalion, company, platoon and squad.

In the military, personal honor and disgrace do not matter much, but once it rises to the level of the collective, the problem becomes serious.

At that time, not only will the company commander deal with you, but the platoon leader and squad leader will not let you go easily either. You will be skinned alive if you don't die.

This is what makes picketing so annoying.

"Hey, what were you doing in the dormitory just now? Why are you sweating profusely when you come out?"

After chatting about patrol for a while, Li Gang asked about what happened in the police detective company just now.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "An old soldier said that he and the platoon leader were comrades in the recruit company, and he insisted on taking me to their dormitory, and then..."

Jiang Chen briefly explained his experience in the police detective company dormitory.

Every one of these old soldiers is not a good person.

He had to test Jiang Chen's military level on behalf of Zhao Tieniu.

First, they asked him to recite the rules and regulations, and when they saw that he was not troubled at all, they asked him to do push-ups.

The standard posture alone was not enough. The veteran who brought him in earlier insisted on making it more difficult for him. He sat on Jiang Chen's back and asked him to do push-ups...

Listening to Jiang Chen's narration, Li Gang just smiled. It was normal for veterans to torment new recruits. Everyone had been through this.

It’s better now, but in the past, new recruits had to wash the feet and clothes of the old soldiers.

He didn't feel anything when he was running, but when he went back, Jiang Chen realized that he had run so far.

It took me a long time to see the outline of the supermarket.

After taking the purchased items back from the supermarket owner and checking their appearance, the two of them headed towards the recruit camp.

On the way back, Li Gangke said that these white hats are not only cunning and fast, but also like to play dirty.

"If you run into those two patrol officers again, don't panic. I'll take care of everything."

"Ah."

As I walked to the side of the road, I didn't encounter any patrols, but I saw teams of fully armed soldiers with camouflage painted on their faces running towards me.

"Sergeant, these are people from the police detective company..." Jiang Chen's eyes were sharp and he recognized the chief of staff and Captain Shen sitting in the SUV in the front at a glance.

"Field training, the daily activities of the reconnaissance company." Li Gang took a look and explained casually.

They have nothing but jungles here, and they are pulled out for training every few days. This has become a common occurrence and there is nothing strange about it. He had already guessed it when he heard the emergency assembly whistle just now.

However, the training of the police detective company seemed a little different this time. The chief of staff was present in person. Looking at the soldiers' attire, not only were they fully armed with camouflage painted on their faces, they also seemed to be carrying equipment for the exercise.

Which unit in the regiment are we going to conduct the exercise with?

The first thing Li Gang thought of was naturally their reconnaissance battalion. Only the soldiers in the reconnaissance battalion could fight against these guys.

Their company commander came to lead the new recruits, so naturally it was not their third company's turn to participate in the exercise.

I don't know if it's the first or second...

After watching the soldiers from the police detective company leave, the two continued walking towards the camp.

The supermarket is not very close to the camp. It took five or six minutes to walk to the camp gate.

Jiang Chen was just about to speed up and rush back to the camp when Li Gang beside him suddenly pulled him.

"Pay attention later and don't talk nonsense. If they ask you, just insist that you went to the supermarket to buy things and you don't know anything else." Li Gang reminded Jiang Chen in a very low voice with his eyes straight ahead and his lips trembling slightly.

At first Jiang Chen was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. But after taking just two steps, he saw two people in white hats suddenly appear and block the entrance to the recruit camp.

"Mm, this is a plan to kill us all!" Jiang Chen cursed in his heart.

This group of guys were just as Li Gang said, all of them were scoundrels. They didn't catch anyone at the scene, and they even came to block the door of his house.

Li Gang seemed not to notice the two patrols and walked straight towards the camp gate. Jiang Chen had no choice but to follow him.

"Hello comrade, please wait a moment!"

As soon as I reached the gate, I was stopped as expected.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the two white hats, Li Gang saluted expressionlessly and said, "Hello, comrade. What can I do for you?"

Jiang Chen, who was following beside him, kept Li Gang's instructions in mind, saluted with a stern face, and shouted, "Hello, squad leader!" Then he shut up and said nothing.

Looking at Jiang Chen, who had a dead look on his face, and Li Gang beside him, the two patrols looked at each other and knew that this matter was not going to be easy.

If he was just a new recruit, he might confess if he was scared by them.

But now...

He glanced at the military rank on Li Gang's shoulder, and then looked at his uncompromising eyes.

Okay, it’s confirmed that this is a veteran.

This trip was in vain.

However, since we are here, we have to give it a try, just in case this new recruit cannot withstand the pressure.

Thinking of this, the two of them took decisive action.

First, a patrol officer took the initiative to meet Li Gang's gaze and said, "Hello, comrade, may I ask why you left the camp during the lunch break? Is it approved?"

Li Gang didn't waste any time and directly took out the platoon leader's leave note and handed it over.

While the two were talking, another patrol officer took the opportunity to find Jiang Chen next to him and said, "Comrade, you just ran around in the camp for no reason, which damaged the military appearance and discipline. You refused to admit your mistakes and avoided patrol.

Please tell me your company, class, and name, and we will punish you for your mistakes."

To pick a weak target, the two men cooperated with each other, one blocked Li Gang's sight, and the other directly attacked Jiang Chen, the new recruit.

As he spoke, he took out a notebook and a pen and pretended to register.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen is not a rookie, and this little trick has no effect on him.

Jiang Chen saluted and replied: "Squad leader, you must have seen it wrong. I have always been with our squad leader!"

"Well, why do you still want to quibble?!" The patrol frowned, looked up and stared into Jiang Chen's eyes, trying to scare him with his eyes.

"Squad leader, I don't know what you are talking about!" Jiang Chen did not hesitate to meet the inspector's gaze and answered expressionlessly.

Their eyes met, but he couldn't see any fear or panic in Jiang Chen's eyes. The patrolman could only look away and close the notebook in his hand.

"Hmph, kid, you're lucky this time. Don't get caught by me!" Staring at Jiang Chen viciously and saying these harsh words, the two patrols turned around and left.

Before leaving, the patrolman did not forget to look back at Jiang Chen, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in his heart.

MD, are all the new recruits so tough nowadays?

……

Standing at the gate, watching the two patrolmen disappear at the end of the road, Li Gang and Jiang Chen looked at each other, smiled and walked towards the gate.

When they passed by the sentry post at the door, the sentry who witnessed the whole incident gave the two men a thumbs up.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and saluted as a response. After Li Gang came back from vacation, the two of them did not delay any further and went all the way back to the dormitory.

When we returned to the dormitory, we were naturally greeted with cheers.

Li Gang did not follow in. After instructing Jiang Chen to manage class discipline, he went to find the company commander with a cigarette.

Although they were not caught by the patrol, they still had to inform Ge Hongtao about their encounter with the chief of staff and Captain Shen in the police detective company, lest by the time people came to their doorstep their own captain would still be kept in the dark.

"It's okay. It's not a big deal. The Chief of Staff is busy with all kinds of things all day long. He doesn't have time to care about these trivial matters."

After listening to Li Gang's narration, Ge Hongtao waved his hand and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

Compared with this, he was more worried that Jiang Chen would be targeted by Chief of Staff Feng.

As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.

Ge Hongtao and Chief of Staff Feng are enemies to some extent.

Just as Chief of Staff Feng knew him, Ge Hongtao also knew the Chief of Staff's style very well.

Waving his hand to let Li Gang go back, Ge Hongtao leaned against the table, lit a cigarette, and silently thought of countermeasures.

The recruit company had only been in service for a week. Even if Jiang Chen performed well, the chief of staff would not take action at this time.

There is a skill to picking peaches. It would be a shame if you spend so much effort to pick only crooked or broken ones.

This is why the Chief of Staff always chooses to take action when the recruit company is about to end.

If it weren't for this, his reputation wouldn't be so bad.

In the dormitory of Class 5, the atmosphere at this time is no less than that of the Chinese New Year.

Two large buckets of Coke were empty within two minutes of being opened, and the duck necks, spicy chips, potato chips and other snacks on the table were swept away in an instant.

Even the two buckets of instant noodles that Jiang Chen bought for emergency use were almost opened and eaten by these guys.

This group of people are simply the reincarnation of starving ghosts!

It’s not surprising that people do this. When you were out, you could just go out and buy whatever you wanted to eat or drink.

Although only a week had passed since joining the army, it felt like several months had passed. They were even about to forget what drinks, spicy chips and French fries tasted like.

……

Jiang Chen put the two buckets of instant noodles he had managed to save into the cupboard. He turned around and saw that everyone had almost finished eating. He said, "One by one, just stuff yourself. After you finish, clean up the table and the trash can!"

Zhang Meng saluted Jiang Chen in a formal manner and said with a smile: "Yes, squad leader. I will complete the task!"

Everyone worked quickly and several people cooperated to clean up the dormitory in no time before Li Gang came back.

After Li Gang came back, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

Those whose quilts are not up to standard will continue to work overtime to fold them; those who have not memorized the rules and regulations will continue to memorize them.

There was still no change in the afternoon training, including formations, military posture, and three major steps. After confirming that there were no problems with these basics, we started physical training, three kilometers, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, pull-ups, frog jumps... and kept going until before dinner.

I thought today would pass like this, but unexpectedly, when the evening news broadcast ended and class started, the instructor suddenly gave everyone a surprise.

"Today, you have only one task. Memorize this oath word for word!" the instructor said loudly, pointing at the curtain behind them.

Everyone looked over subconsciously.

There was only a line of big words written on the screen. No one cared about the other words. They only stared at two of them, with surprise and desire flashing in their eyes.

Grant the gun!!!

That’s right, the oath on the screen is the one used in the gun-awarding ceremony.

What is a gun?!

That is the deepest desire engraved in the hearts of all boys since childhood.

Old people who have lived for sixty or seventy years may not be very interested in guns, but for young people like them who grew up in a domestic gun-banning environment, they are extremely excited to break the taboo and touch a real gun that they would never be able to touch in their lifetime.

The recitation session, which they had originally resisted and found extremely boring, now became something that everyone wanted to do with all their strength and energy, not to mention putting in a lot of effort.

After the training, the instructor took them outside to simulate a gun-awarding ceremony.

My goodness, when they were taking the oath, each one shouted louder than the other. Some recruits who usually spoke softly and gently shouted with their faces red and necks thick when they were taking the oath, as if they had taken stimulants.

Even after the evening roll call, the excitement in everyone's hearts had not subsided.

In the bathhouse, while Li Gang was away, everyone was talking while taking a bath. Even Zhou Xinghai and He Wenjie, two guys who always took a quick bath, chose to stay.

"Hey, we're going to distribute guns tomorrow. I'm so excited just thinking about it! I don't know what kind of guns we're going to distribute. Are they the kind of guns that appeared on TV when Hong Kong was returned to China..."

"You're talking about 95, right? It's hard to say. I feel it should be 81." Chu Fei continued.

Military-themed TV dramas and movies were not popular these days, and everyone lacked a basic understanding of the military. As soon as Chu Fei finished speaking, someone immediately asked, "What kind of gun is the Type 81?"

"Well...how should I put it, everyone knows AK, the Type 81 rifle is almost the same as AK." Chu Fei thought for a while and explained.

"That's great. I'm very familiar with AK. I just don't know if the recoil of real guns is the same as in the game..."

Even after returning to the dormitory, everyone's interest in the discussion had not diminished in the slightest.

If Li Gang hadn't been in the class, they would probably have talked all night long.

The lights were turned off, and everyone was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The oath they had just made was still echoing in their minds. When they thought of the scene of holding the steel guns, they couldn't help but feel excited...
