My Military Career in a Parallel World

October 5th.

Thursday.

Two days after the National Day holiday.

It is still the familiar 400-meter obstacle course.

In addition to more than one hundred new recruits and thirty-six veterans, there were also soldiers from the nearby guard company and police detective company who came to watch the fun.

As the situation fermented over the past week, word had spread throughout the regiment that a new recruit had boasted that he would run the 400-meter hurdles within two minutes within a week.

This morning, when the veterans saw Ge Hongtao leading a group of new recruits towards the training ground, they all became interested and came over to watch.

This kind of excitement was a rare event in the army, so their platoon leader and squad leader did not stop them and came over to watch the excitement.

They wanted to see what kind of recruit was daring enough to make such big claims.

In one week, run 400 meters under two minutes?

If it were so easy to run within two points, then all their training over the years would have been in vain!

Thirty-six reconnaissance veterans, including those from the second platoon of the third company, thought the same.

Running the 400-meter obstacle course in two minutes might be considered bottom-tier in a reconnaissance company, but it would definitely be top-notch in an ordinary company.

There is a reason why the troops set the excellent line for the 400-meter race at two minutes.

"Go ahead, let me see how well you've practiced this week!"

"Yes!" Li Gang agreed and turned to look at the eight recruits in front of him.

"Except for Jiang Chen, I don't ask for good grades from the others, but don't embarrass us! Don't embarrass our recruit company, at least get to the passing line, okay?!"

"We will ensure that the mission is completed!" everyone responded in unison.

"Jiang Chen!"

"To!"

"You are the benchmark of the recruit company. This incident was caused by you. You represent not only yourself, but the glory of all the soldiers in the recruit company. You are also the face of me, the squad leader and our company commander!

So, your requirement is to at least run within two points. If possible, I hope you can go one step further, surpass these veterans who like to watch the excitement, and give them a little shock from the new recruits! "

That's how the army is. No matter what happens, they like to rely on the collective. If one person gets sick, the whole company will get an injection, and vice versa.

Although Li Gang is a soldier from the third company, his current identity is the squad leader of the fifth squad of the first platoon of the recruit company. Naturally, he has to side with the new recruits like Jiang Chen.

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Jiang Chen shouted.

Li Gang nodded. He had taught everything that needed to be taught. The rest depended on Jiang Chen's own ability.

"Li Qiang, you go first!" Li Gang called out directly.

"Yes!"

Li Qiang agreed and walked to the starting point of the 400-meter race.

"preparation!"

shh~

As Zhao Hongbin, the referee, blew the whistle, Li Qiang roared and rushed towards the 400-meter obstacle course.

Three-step piles, trenches, low walls...

As obstacles were overcome one after another, Li Qiang's physical strength was quickly consumed and his speed became slower and slower.

"Two minutes, nineteen seconds, thirty-one!"

The moment Li Qiang crossed the finish line, Zhao Hongbin pressed the timer and announced the final result loudly.

"Wow, this batch of new recruits are really good. They have passed the passing score of 2.5 points."

The veterans nearby were not surprised by this result.

They had seen something when Li Qiang started to overcome the obstacles and had some guesses about his performance.

Two minutes, nineteen seconds and thirty-one was still within their acceptable range.

Then the other six people took turns to appear on stage.

The results were basically maintained above the passing line, and the fastest recruit even ran an excellent score of 2 minutes 14 seconds 53.

This speed is already above the good level in an ordinary company and is considered the average level for most soldiers.

But these veterans in front of them were either from the reconnaissance company or the regimental guard company, and two minutes and fourteen seconds was just barely acceptable in their opinion.

"Jiang Chen, it's your turn."

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and walked towards the starting point. When he passed by several other recruits who were sitting on the ground to rest, everyone gave him their blessings.

"come on!"

"Deputy squad leader, come on!"

"Jiang Chen, you must run within two points to show these veterans!"

"Yeah, don't worry." Jiang Chen nodded gently.

On the training ground, Jiang Chen couldn't help but clench his fists as he looked at the veterans who were still standing around watching the fun and laughing and pointing.

Although they knew they were not laughing at themselves, they became a whole when they left the recruit camp.

At least before the recruit company was over, they all had the same identity...

A rookie recruit without a rank.

Yes, in the eyes of the veterans, only those privates who have been awarded ranks but have not yet become lame are called recruits. Those of them who do not even have a military rank can only be regarded as rookies in kindergarten and are not even qualified to be called soldiers.

Although Li Gang would call out names loudly when they went on the court, the veterans had no interest in remembering the name of a preschool rookie.

When they chat, they don't refer to a specific person, but refer to them as this group of new recruits, this group of new recruits, etc...

Standing next to the white line representing the starting point, Jiang Chen prepared to start the race. He decided to give this group of veterans a little stimulation.

It's just 400 meters within two minutes, it's nothing great. It's as if no one can do it. You just came two years earlier.

Zhao Hongbin reset the timer to zero and raised his arm high.

"preparation!"

shh~

The whistle sounded, and Jiang Chen yelled: "Kill!!!"

The whole person rushed out like an arrow.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with this new recruit? He rushed in so fast right after he got in?!"

Unlike the previous few people, Jiang Chen's starting speed was much faster than theirs, and the veterans watching nearby couldn't help but be surprised.

From the performance of the new recruits just now, it can be seen that they must have been trained before.

Therefore, there is no way that the new recruit in front of him doesn't know how difficult the 400-meter obstacle course is. What is he trying to do by rushing so fast right after he starts?

He is the last one left and can't help but want to give it a try?

The veterans thought so and were about to say something when they heard a sudden burst of cheers from the group of new recruits who had been extremely quiet.

"Come on, deputy squad leader! Come on, deputy squad leader!"

At the beginning, only the recruits from Class 5 were cheering, but later the entire team of recruits followed suit and shouted "Come on!"

"Deputy Jiang, come on!

Come on, Deputy Chief Jiang!

Shoot the veteran without any discussion!"

No one knew who was the first to shout the slogan, but after Jiang Chen finished the first 100 meters, the entire team of recruits was shouting the same slogan.

Everyone was not deaf or blind. They saw the veterans' ridicule and disdain, but they just kept it to themselves and didn't say anything at first.

Although we have been on holiday these days, it doesn't mean that everyone is not concerned about the previous bet between Jiang Chen and the company commander.

Except for Jiang Chen and Li Qiang who were in the same class and shared the same dormitory, the other six were vice-monitors of their respective classes.

After training every day, everyone would ask about their training situation and have a general understanding of their results.

Everyone had been holding back just to wait for Jiang Chen to come on stage.
