He Daming also returned to the carriage. As he was now the deputy army commander and a deputy army-level cadre, he enjoyed the treatment of a soft sleeper in the carriage.

If he can reach the leadership level, he will be awesome and can have a separate carriage at the end of the entire train. The treatment is quite luxurious, with chefs, guards, secretaries, office areas, and private toilets.

As I said, my current position is still not high enough and I need to continue working hard to improve.

However, compared with ordinary people, He Daming is relatively comfortable, after all, he has the treatment of a soft sleeper.

You have to know that these days soft sleeper accommodation is not something you can enjoy just by having money, it requires a certain rank.

Ordinary people can only buy sitting or standing tickets. You have to know that the four-day and four-night journey would be too tiring even for a strong man.

Standing or sitting for a long time will inevitably lead to swollen legs. At this time, the carriages of the entire train are already overcrowded, even the toilets are full of people.

It was a luxury for the flight attendants to squeeze through the aisle.

On the contrary, the soft sleeper compartment where He Daming was located was relatively spacious, and the aisles were empty. Most of the passengers here were military-level cadres like He Daming, or administrative officials of the same rank.

Of course, each carriage is connected, but the soft sleeper carriage where He Daming is located is guarded by armed guards.

No outsiders are allowed to enter, on the one hand to maintain order, and on the other hand to ensure the life safety of senior officers like He Daming.

Just when He Daming was about to go to bed, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in military uniform walked in.

He Daming immediately turned his attention to the man. He found that the officer seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

But he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

When the other party saw He Daming, he recognized him at the first sight.

"You...Aren't you He Daming, the deputy commander of the 15th Army?"

He Daming was quite surprised to hear the other party's greeting, and immediately asked back: "Comrade, who are you?"

The middle-aged officer saw the doubt in He Daming's eyes and immediately introduced himself.

"Deputy Commander He, my name is Zhong Sheng, and I am currently the commander of the 54th Army."

When He Daming heard that the other party was the commander of the 54th Army, he immediately greeted him.

"Commander Zhong, nice to meet you.

I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you at first."

Zhong Sheng heard this and waved his hand.

"Deputy Commander He, you are too polite.

In fact, since the end of the summer counterattack, you and I have only met once when we were having a meeting at Zhisi, so it is normal that you didn't recognize me.

By the way, Deputy Commander He, where are you going after leaving 49 City?"

In response to Zhong Sheng's question, He Daming directly said,

"Commander Zhong, it's vacation time now. I have to go back to our 15th Army's base."

Zhong Sheng heard this and nodded.

“Deputy Commander He, it seems like a coincidence. I am also visiting relatives in City 49 and am preparing to return home because of the holiday.

If I remember correctly, your 15th Army was assigned to Xiaotian City in Beihu Province.

Our 54th Army is in Shancheng, Yuchuan Province. This time I plan to go to Wucheng first and then transfer to the special train to Shancheng."

He Daming nodded.

"Commander Zhong, what a coincidence."

Zhong Sheng suddenly thought of something and changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, Deputy Commander He, I remember that the Zhisi had ordered us officers to report to the Jiankang Military Academy for further study after we report to the garrison.

I wonder if you have received the notification?"

He Daming nodded again after hearing this.

"Yes, Commander Zhong, have you also received the notice?"

Zhong Sheng nodded.

"Yes, I want to go too. We might even be classmates then."

When He Daming heard what Zhong Sheng said, he laughed on the spot.

"Hahaha... I hope so."

After a brief chat, the two began to pack their luggage and clothes. When they were almost done, they lay down on the berth to rest.

.....................

Zhong Sheng originally planned to take a rest, but he tossed and turned for a long time, and the sound of train wheels rolling over the rails kept coming to his ears.

“Click…Click…”

He lost all his sleepiness, and he looked directly at He Daming on the bed opposite him, and called out softly,

"Deputy Commander He, are you asleep?"

He Daming was not asleep at this time either, probably because of the bad condition of the bed.

"What's wrong, Commander Zhong? I haven't slept yet. What can I do for you?"

Zhong Sheng smiled awkwardly at He Daming's words.

"Nothing, I just want to chat with you to relieve my boredom, is that ok?"

He Daming was a bit bored at this time, so he agreed directly.

"Okay, Commander Zhong, what do you want to talk about?"

Zhong Sheng thought about it and went straight to the point.

"Deputy Commander He, to be honest, I, Zhong Sheng, have not obeyed many people in my life, and you are one of them.

I have heard about your deeds in the Korean War. You are truly a role model for our generation."

In response to Zhong Sheng's praise, He Daming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Commander Zhong, you flatter me."

Zhong Sheng: "Deputy Commander He, I am telling the truth.

For example, I joined the army at a very early age, and joined the Huaxia Party in the middle. I participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Civil War, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

After almost 10 years, I am now just a military commander.

You participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and in less than three years, you rose from a regiment commander to a deputy army commander, and you participated in every major battle.

This also indirectly demonstrates your excellent command ability, especially when I was affiliated with the 20th Corps and participated in the summer counterattack with your 15th Army.

You came up with a brilliant plan that disrupted the entire South Korean military deployment and laid a foundation for our army's victory, especially your on-the-spot dispatch and command performance.

These are the examples I learn from.”

Didn’t He Daming expect that his name would become so famous at this moment?

But he was still very polite and modest.

"Commander Zhong, you are too polite. I am just a blind cat that has found a dead mouse."

However, He Daming's modesty made Zhong Sheng frown.

"Deputy Commander He, we are all veteran revolutionaries, you don't have to be so modest, we are all family.

Don't call me Army Commander anymore, it sounds weird. There are no outsiders here, let's just call each other brothers."

When He Daming heard what Zhong Sheng said, he knew that this man was a real man, so he didn't act pretentiously and just shouted a few words.

"Okay, Old Zhong."
