My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Master, come here quickly, the thief climbed over the wall from here!" A young man in a police uniform shouted behind him while climbing up the wall with all his strength.

The man he called Master caught up with him breathlessly, looking at the towering wall in front of him. He seemed to have thought of something, with some suspicion in his eyes.

As an old police officer, he is very familiar with the surrounding environment.

As far as he knew, the only building with such a high wall nearby seemed to be...

"Stinky boy, hurry up..."

"Master, I'll go after him first. Please contact the owner of this courtyard as soon as possible. Don't let the thief get away!"

However, before he could finish his words, the young man riding on the wall said something and jumped down impatiently.

Seeing that the boy had rashly climbed over, the veteran police officer didn't care about anything else and hurried to the wall and climbed up using his hands and feet.

It's a pity that he is already quite old and no longer as agile as before.

A three-meter-high wall. After working hard for a long time, I finally climbed to the top of the wall and saw...

Looking at the little policeman jumping down from the wall, Jiang Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Fortunately, he heard the conversation between the two people just now, which made him slow down a step when he took action. Otherwise, this would be like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple and caught his own people.

Jiang Chen retracted his raised foot and walked quietly behind the policeman who was frantically looking for a flashlight.

"Hello comrade, do you need help?" Jiang Chen turned on the flashlight.

"Ah~ Who! I'm telling you, I'm a policeman, you..."

The young policeman was startled by Jiang Chen's sudden appearance behind him. He jumped up involuntarily and subconsciously reached for the electric baton on his waist.

"Are you looking for this?" Jiang Chen bent down, picked up the electric baton that the young policeman dropped when he jumped down, and handed it to him.

"Ah, thank you..." The young policeman took the electric baton handed to him by Jiang Chen in a daze.

At this time, he also saw clearly the military uniform Jiang Chen was wearing.

However, because all this happened too suddenly, he still hasn't recovered from the shock.

At this time, another beam of light shone down from the wall.

"Xiao Zhao, are you okay?" The veteran police officer shouted down while riding on the wall.

"No...it's okay, Master." The young policeman answered subconsciously.

"Look at you, how many times have I told you not to be so impatient?" After saying this to the young policeman, the old policeman slid down the wall slowly, walked to Jiang Chen, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Hello comrade, I am a policeman from the Jixiang Road Police Station in J City. May I ask..."

Jiang Chen knew what he wanted to say and turned the flashlight towards the subdued thief lying on the ground.

"Comrade, are you looking for him?"

The veteran police officer looked in the direction of the light and saw the masked thief, who was tied up and lying on the ground groaning.

He walked over and lifted the mask on his face, and then saw the thief spit out a walnut-sized stone stained with blood from his mouth. Looking at his hands tied tightly behind the back, the veteran policeman couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

It's worthy of being a military unit, their movements are so efficient!

It must have been only three or four minutes at most from the time they saw the thief climbing the wall and chasing after him, but unexpectedly, the man had already been taken care of.

"Are you stupid? Why do you have to run to this place when there are other places to run to? Didn't you see the huge words on the wall outside?!"

After slapping the thief on the face and cursing him, the old police officer turned to the young policeman and ordered, "Xiao Zhao, take the people back first. I will talk to this comrade to find out the situation."

"Yes, Master." The young policeman called Xiao Zhao was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.

He subconsciously agreed and walked towards the thief on the ground.

"Master, what is going on?" After pulling the thief up from the ground, the young policeman asked in a low voice.

The old police officer smiled and replied: "Do you remember what I told you before, that there are troops stationed in our area?"

Xiao Zhao nodded.

The old police officer continued, "The troops stationed in our area are not simple. They are a training team that specializes in training squad leaders and non-commissioned officers. Many soldiers come here for training every once in a while. I wanted to remind you to come here just now, but before I could finish my words, you jumped in."

After listening to his master's explanation, Xiao Zhao scratched his head awkwardly. He wanted to say something, but when he thought of the soldier standing next to him, he held the words back.

While the two were talking, Jiang Chen also called the patrol team through the intercom.

"Sergeant Jiang, what's going on?" Four or five soldiers with flashlights ran over quickly.

After Jiang Chen briefly recounted what had happened, the way everyone looked at him changed.

Although it was night and everything was dark except for the light of the flashlight, the jealous atmosphere that made people want to strangle Jiang Chen to death could not be hidden.

What is all this about? !

You can sit at home and receive the third-class merit from heaven?

Damn, they patrolled day and night, how come they couldn't come across such a good thing? !

Several soldiers from the teaching team felt as if they had eaten lemons in their mouths, which were extremely sour!

I don't blame them for this, it's really...

Jiang Chen's luck is really good!

When I was checking the post in the middle of the night, I took a piss and for no apparent reason, I got a third-class merit...

That's a third-class individual merit!

An ordinary soldier may not be able to win a third-class individual merit even once in his entire life as a soldier!

No matter who this happens to, everyone would feel jealous!

At the same time, they wanted to slap themselves twice. If they had known, they would not have run so fast when they were patrolling just now.

Maybe it will be their turn to get the third-class merit.

Of course, they can only think about it in their minds at most.

If they really encounter this situation, the five of them will at most be awarded a third-class collective merit. If things go wrong, they may not even get a third-class merit, and just a commendation for each person.

Thinking of this, everyone once again envied Jiang Chen's good luck.

This is really good luck. If there was one more person who took action just now, this third-class merit would have been 100% won.

But it just happened to be such a coincidence that Jiang Chen ran into it alone.

Ugh……

After cooperating with the police to take a simple statement, Jiang Chen went back to the dormitory to sleep.

I got a third-class merit for nothing. Although I was very happy, the happiness ended there.

Although it may sound a bit pretentious to say this, it is the truth.

Given Jiang Chen's current situation, one more third-class merit would not make much difference, and one less third-class merit would not make much difference.

At most, you will have an extra medal on your chest when you attend events or ceremonies in the future.

The rest is basically useless.

After thinking it through, Jiang Chen didn't take what happened just now to heart.

I returned to the dormitory, lay down on the bed, and my consciousness entered the dream space to continue the previous training.

However, when Jiang Chen didn't know, the news that he had picked up a third-class merit for free while checking the posts at night had already spread among the patrol soldiers.

The next day, it was half past five in the morning.

Everyone in the third shift got up on time and folded their quilts. When the wakeup call blew at six o'clock, everyone hurried downstairs to gather and prepare for morning exercises.

Then, they saw the team leader Wan Peng and the instructor appear downstairs, which was rare.

When Jiang Chen appeared, everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on him.

That’s not all. During the subsequent drill, the soldiers from other classes, including the three district captains and even the sentries and patrols they met on the way to the playground, all couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chen.

Some people even acted as if they were gritting their teeth, as if they had some deep hatred against Jiang Chen.

"Sergeant, what's going on? Why are they all staring at us?" Guo Chao couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Wang Jie and others also subconsciously cast inquiring glances.

They are not blind and may not have noticed it before, but they have been watching all the way. If they still haven't figured out something is wrong, they might as well go find a piece of tofu and kill themselves.

The news has spread, and it is impossible to hide it anymore.

In this case, it is better to admit it openly and harvest everyone's envious and jealous looks at the same time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen grinned, revealing his big white teeth, and said in a very nonchalant tone: "Hehe, it's nothing. I just caught a thief while checking the post last night."

"Ah? You caught a thief?!"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one reacted.

Until someone suddenly exclaimed: "Fuck, squad leader, then you got a third-class merit for nothing?!"

Everyone reacted instantly, their eyes widened, their mouths opened with expressions of disbelief.

"Well, it's just catching a thief. At most I'll be rewarded with a third-class merit. It's no big deal. It doesn't matter whether I get it or not." Jiang Chen coughed lightly and waved his hand casually, looking nonchalant.

"Fuck! Captain, I'm reporting someone here for being pretentious!"

As soon as Jiang Chen said this, some people could no longer sit still. They raised their hands and shouted without caring about discipline.

Yan Weihua had naturally noticed the movements of Class 3 a long time ago, and he heard the conversation between Jiang Chen and others clearly.

Yan Weihua gritted his teeth at Jiang Chen's extremely pretentious behavior of taking advantage of others and pretending to be good.

Damn it, what the hell is this!

He was a fourth-term non-commissioned officer who had been in the army for nearly twenty years, and he had only won two third-class merits. As a result, what did this kid just say, "It's just a third-class merit, it's no big deal, it doesn't matter whether I have it or not..."

Listen, is this something a human can say?!

If the occasion wasn't wrong, he would have wanted to go up and kick this guy twice himself.

Therefore, Yan Weihua rarely got angry and did not even mention the issue of queue discipline.

After glancing around and seeing that the captain and the instructor hadn't caught up, he said directly: "I'm in charge, you can beat him up, as long as you don't injure or kill him, I'll take the blame for you!"

"Fuck, Old Yan, you are so dishonest!"

After hearing what Yan Weihua said, and looking at the increasingly dangerous eyes of the people around him, Jiang Chen yelled, then took a decisive step and ran away.

"Brothers, chase!"

Wang Jie, who was also shown off and had a distorted expression, roared and chased after him.

The others reacted quickly and followed closely.

Not only Class 3, but also the other two classes in District 1 that were also shown off by Jiang Chen followed suit.

This was not the end. As word of what had just happened in the third squad spread, soldiers from other divisions could no longer bear it and chased after them.

Then, this scene appeared on the teaching team’s playground.

A soldier was running in the front, followed by more than a hundred people screaming and chasing after him.

If I didn’t know, I would have thought it was the end of the world and a zombie crisis had broken out.

Fortunately, although the others were chasing, they all followed the basic rules and no one thought of stopping to intercept him. Otherwise, it would be useless even if Jiang Chen could run faster.

At the edge of the playground, Wan Peng and Shi Yi looked at the noisy crowd on the track. Instead of being angry, they had a faint smile on their faces.

"Haha, this kid is really troublesome." Shi Yi shook his head and laughed.

"Haha, young people, how can you not have some energy!" Wan Peng also laughed.

"However, I have to say that this kid is really lucky. He can even encounter such good things."

"It's just a third-class merit. Just like he said, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not."

"That's true. The third-class merit that others can't get no matter how hard they try is really wasted on this kid.

Given his current situation, one more or one less third-class merit would not really have much impact."

As he spoke, Shi Yi turned his head to look at Wan Peng and continued, "By the way, are you really not tempted? If this kid can join the special forces, he will definitely be a potential soldier king!"

Wan Peng glanced at him and asked, "How do you know I didn't take any action?"

"Uh..." Shi Yi was stunned by the question.

But no matter how hard he thought about it or how he recalled it, he didn't notice any movement from Wan Peng.

As if he had seen what was in Shi Yi's heart, Wan Peng's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at the leading figure on the runway, and said with a smile, "In three months at most, he will leave the army to go to the military academy for further studies."

At first Shi Yi couldn't react to what this sentence meant, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood.

Jiang Chen is not like the old soldiers he met before. Although he only has the rank of private now, the actual situation is that his military career for the next three years has already been determined.

Why are so many people obsessed with joining the special forces?

There are many factors involved. There are soldiers who truly yearn for/dream of becoming special forces and top soldiers, but it is also undeniable that for ordinary soldiers, joining the special forces is also the fastest way for them to change their lives.

Joining the special forces and becoming a special forces soldier is equivalent to taking half a step into the threshold of becoming an officer. Even if you fail to become an officer in the end, the treatment of special forces is far beyond that of ordinary troops.

Just look at Wan Peng’s experience.

Wan Peng also joined the army right after graduating from high school, but because he successfully entered the special forces and was promoted based on his meritorious service, he jumped from a private to an officer.

That’s not all. When Wan Peng retired from the special forces, his rank was only a captain.

However, because he was a retired special forces soldier with rich practical experience, he was directly selected by the division as the captain of the teaching team and was promoted to major, enjoying the treatment of a full battalion-level officer.

Although Wan Peng is already 35 years old this year, he has crossed the threshold of major. As long as there are no major problems later, and in addition to the rule that cadres/officers are promoted one level by default before retirement, the treatment of a colonel deputy regiment commander is basically stable. If he works harder and has a little better luck, it is not impossible for him to get the treatment of a major colonel.

This is also the reason why, even though everyone knows that the training of special forces is very cruel and that they have to take the risk of losing their lives at any time, there are still countless people who are trying their best to join.
