My Military Career in a Parallel World

"puff……"

Everyone originally wanted to chat a little more and ask Jiang Chen if he had any skills that the squad leader had not taught him, but they heard a burst of suppressed laughter coming from the group of recruits from other squads nearby.

I turned my head and followed their gaze.

On the other side of the playground, where the second row had trained before, a squad leader was leading two trainees in extra training.

The previous items such as standing at attention, at ease, turning while standing still, and saluting were all fine. The two recruits were just a little slow in reaction occasionally, but their movements were generally up to standard.

However, problems always arise when it comes to the marching in step and goose-stepping events.

It was fine for a short time and both recruits had no problems, but once the time was a little longer, their hands and feet immediately became synchronized.

No matter how you teach, it's useless. There is no problem at the beginning, but as you go along, you will get back to your original state. As long as one of them takes a wrong step, the other will be led astray.

Their squad leader was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks. If it weren't for the repeated warnings from his superiors that corporal punishment and beating of new recruits were strictly prohibited, he would have kicked him up long ago.

"Haha, those should be soldiers from Class 4. When we went to the cafeteria to eat yesterday, their class was right in front of us. At that time, I noticed that two people in their class walked with the same hands and feet. I thought I was seeing things..." Zhang Meng recognized the two recruits in front of him at a glance and explained to everyone while smiling.

"In school before, there were people in our class who had clumsy hands and feet. No matter how the teacher taught, it was useless. In the end, he was so angry that he wanted to hit people, but there was no way to correct them. He could only let them continue. I don’t know if the army can correct it." Li Qiang continued.

"I don't think it's easy. They have probably been walking like this for more than ten years. It will take a while for them to correct it!"

Everyone was discussing, and Jiang Chen casually added: "What Xiao Ming said is right. Looking at their situation, it seems that they are not nervous or anything. They are probably just used to walking since they were young, and they can't change it in a short time. They just walked two steps and walked back out of habit."

As they were talking, the veteran squad leader was already a little angry. He took off his belt and asked the two people behind him to take off their belts.

"Come one by one, I won't believe this today!"

"You go first, grab the belt, and follow me when I tell you to!"

The veteran squad leader walked in front, holding a belt in each hand, leading the new recruits behind him and shouting commands.

"one!"

"two!"

After taking two steps, their squad leader would look back to confirm that the recruits behind him had not taken the wrong step before shouting out the next command.

"Damn it, I almost spit out all my saliva, but I'm finally making some progress!"

"Wait here first, I'll take your turn when you come over!"

After leading the two recruits to walk two laps, feeling that they were almost there, the veteran squad leader asked other recruits for a belt, fastened them together in pairs, and led the two recruits to practice together.

"One, two..."

Thinking that he had to finish the practice quickly so that he could have some time to rest, he quickened his pace, still shouting the commands one, two, one.

But as he was walking, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and subconsciously looked down at his arms and feet...

Depend on!

Damn it, why am I also walking with the same hands and feet? !

"What the hell!"

The veteran squad leader's face flushed red, he threw the belt in his hand to the ground with all his strength, turned his head to look at the two recruits behind him, his eyes were blazing with anger as if he wanted to eat them up in one bite.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A burst of laughter came from a distance, which caught the veteran squad leader's throat for the scolding he was about to say. The expression on his face was twisted into a ball, and his already red face became even hotter.

I was angry just now, and now I feel embarrassed.

This is so embarrassing!

"Pfft..." Jiang Chen and the other new recruits didn't dare to laugh out loud like the veteran squad leader. They covered their mouths and tried hard to hold back their laughter, fearing that if they laughed out loud, the veteran squad leader would hate them.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Gang was drinking water, but when he saw the scene just now, he couldn't help but spit it out on the spot.

"Oh my god, where did these two funny guys come from? They almost choked me to death."

"Lao Zhang, are you any good at all? Can two new recruits seduce you away?!" a squad leader shouted to the people below.

The third squad leader laughed so hard that he almost rolled on the ground.

This is not the first time they have trained new recruits, and they have encountered similar problems before, but at most they were a little more difficult to teach, and they could still adjust with some effort.

Unlike these two recruits, they led their squad leader into a ditch.

"Haha, these two guys are really awesome. Why don't we have people like them in our platoon? If we can bring Li Dapao into the ditch, it will be a good show to watch." Chu Fei couldn't hold it in any longer. While laughing out loud, he couldn't help but whisper a few words to his comrades next to him about his squad leader.

However, he was obviously too happy too early. Jiang Chen kept winking at him, but this guy ignored him and continued to tease Li Gang.

"Well, there is indeed something interesting to watch. If I had a soldier like this in my class, I would definitely wake him up at three in the morning every day to practice extra until he can do it!"

"Ah! Class...Class...Class Monitor! Why are you here?!" Chu Fei turned around subconsciously and saw Li Gang looking at him with a dark face. He was so scared that he jumped up from the ground.

"Why? Do I need to report to you where I go?" Li Gang said indifferently, glancing at Chu Fei.

"No, squad leader, that's not what I meant..." Chu Fei felt a little nervous when being stared at. He wanted to explain quickly, but then he remembered what happened before. It was not right to say it, and it was not right not to say it. He stood there scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"Hmph, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go for now. Be careful next time and don't let me catch you, otherwise..."

"I promise, I will never do it again!" Chu Fei patted his chest and promised.

"Get out! I don't want to see you now!" Li Gang cursed angrily.

"Yes!" Chu Fei was not vague and immediately trotted to the other side of the tree, leaving Li Gang's sight.

After teaching the new recruits a lesson, Li Gang did not stay long and walked towards the playground below, muttering as he walked: "Li Dapao? When did I have a nickname? Aren't they usually called me Li Heimian or something like that?"

In fact, that's what everyone called him at the beginning, but later everyone found that the platoon leader Zhao Hongbin seemed to be more evil, so his name was changed to Li Dapao.

As for why he is called Li Dapao...

There is no other meaning. I don't know who said it once, and everyone thought it was quite catchy, so they all started calling it that.

Happy times are always short. Before the second row had enough fun, the ten-minute break was over.

The entire morning, the squad leader of the fourth squad was trying to find a way to correct the problem of the new recruits' clumsy hands and feet.

However, he didn't dare to take them with him anymore as he did before.

What if I get led into a ditch by these two weirdos and can't change...

The training lasted until 11:30 in the morning, when the recruits were taken back to the dormitory.

During the lunch break after dinner, Li Gang still asked everyone to continue practicing folding quilts, while he himself leisurely lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the training ground again.

This time, we were not asked to continue practicing standing in formation.

First we did a familiar three-kilometer run, then took turns doing push-ups and sit-ups, and finally led everyone to do some pull-ups and two rounds of frog jumps around the playground.

“If you feel bitter, think about the 25,000 Red Army soldiers; if you feel tired, think about Lei Feng and Dong Cunrui.”

This slogan accompanied them throughout the afternoon.

Only after he had exhausted everyone to the point of exhaustion, and seeing that there was still some time left for afternoon training, did Zhao Hongbin let them go and let several squad leaders lead the new recruits to continue training in formations.

We practiced the queue for another hour, and today's training ended at six o'clock in the afternoon.

After dinner, we continued with the daily scheduled program, the half-hour news broadcast.

I thought that the next lesson would be another ideological and political class taught by the instructor, but I didn't expect that Lu Ming didn't make things too difficult for everyone today. He just distributed the rules and regulations of the unit and led everyone to recite them twice, and then the evening class was over.

I had just returned to the dormitory and hadn’t even sat down yet when it was time for evening roll call.

First I did a three-kilometer night run, and then I did fifty push-ups and fifty sit-ups to finish.

Back in the dormitory, everyone was finally able to have a good rest.

Taking advantage of the squad leader's absence, the recruits in Class 5 collapsed on the ground like mud. They didn't even have the energy to talk or chat. They just wanted to lie down and have a good rest. This day's training almost wore them out.

Is this also called suffering?

Cherish the present time, because you won't have such a comfortable life in the future...

It was not until this moment that they understood what the monitor meant by his words last night.

Compared with today’s training volume, the past two days were more than comfortable, they could even be called happy!

After resting for a while, Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at the wall clock. It was 9:40 and there were still 20 minutes before lights out.

I don’t know where Li Gang has been. He hasn’t come back for a long time. After thinking about it, Jiang Chen got up from the ground.

"Let's take a shower. Do you want to go?" He turned his head and asked towards the dormitory.

"Go ahead. I'm almost dead tired today. I'm all sweaty. If I don't take a good shower, I won't be able to sleep well at night." Chu Fei stood up despite the pain in his legs.

"Add me in!" Li Qiang also stood up by the bed.

"I am coming too!"

"Wait a minute, I..."

Two more people responded.

Jiang Chen said casually while packing his toiletries: "Okay, let's go together. I am indeed tired today, but I think today's situation will become the norm in the future. Let's get used to it as soon as possible."

"Please spare me. If you keep doing this every day, someone will die!"

They arrived at the bathhouse while chatting, where three squads of soldiers were bathing, so Jiang Chen and the others had to wait outside.

"Hey, why didn't Zhou Xinghai and the others come?" Looking behind him, Jiang Chen noticed that a few people were missing.

"Haha, seeing how cowardly they were yesterday, it would be a problem if they followed us." Chu Fei said weakly.

He was so tired that he almost didn't have the strength to speak. If it weren't for the fact that he was so uncomfortable sleeping with a sticky body, he wouldn't have wanted to run so far to take a shower.

"It's okay, don't worry about them. When they came out, they said that we can just get a basin of water and go to the toilet to wipe it off." Luo Ming continued.

"Okay." Jiang Chen didn't have much to say.

As for the differences between the north and the south, people need some time to adapt.

After experiencing it a few more times, I think they should get used to it.

There was still no hot water in the bathhouse today. After taking a cold shower and washing off the remaining sweat on our bodies, everyone packed up and went back.

As soon as I arrived at the dormitory door, I ran into the squad leader Li Gang.

"Did you go take a shower?" Li Gang asked casually.

"Report, yes!" Several people quickly stood at attention and responded.

"The lights will be turned off soon, hurry up and go upstairs." Li Gang didn't say much, just urged them to go back to the dormitory.

Everyone subconsciously quickened their pace. When passing by Li Gang, Jiang Chen didn't know why he always felt that Li Gang looked at him in a strange way.

But if he was asked to explain in detail, he couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, he always felt that this guy was staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Subconsciously, Jiang Chen imagined what happened on the first night in the army.

"Is this guy really Zero..."

Shaking his head and putting this ridiculous idea behind him, Jiang Chen quickened his pace to shake off Li Gang behind him.

Looking at Jiang Chen's panicked back, Li Gang raised a smile.

Just now he was called over by the company commander Ge Hongtao. Although he didn't know what the company commander was up to, Li Gang was not a fool. From the meaning of his words, it seemed that the company commander was most likely targeting the guy in front of him.

"I hope the company commander can give me some support this time. I'm counting on this kid to sign a four-term contract." Muttering to himself, Li Gang quickened his pace.

Veteran squad leaders like Li Gang really don't want to waste even a second of their time. They set the lights out time and force everyone to read again the regulations they had just received before letting them go to bed.

What else can I do? I can only accept my fate.

I stood in front of the bed and read until the lights-out signal blew, then everyone lay back in bed and went to sleep.

This is what the military is like. People who have not been in the military only see the majesty and glory here. The families of the recruits also see the smiles and enthusiasm of the officers outside the station.

Only when you really enter the army, will you discover that there is a whole new world inside.

The majesty and glory are true, but they do not belong to them.

At least, it doesn't belong to them now.

In order to obtain this majesty and glory, they need to pay countless sweat and even blood in exchange for it, and use everything they have to protect this majesty and glory.

……

At night, in the dream space, Jiang Chen still focused his training on folding quilts.

After all, this not only concerns whether he can take the position of deputy monitor in advance, but also concerns the time he can stay in the dream space for at least one month.

However, physical fitness cannot be neglected either. Moreover, there is an additional task of reciting regulations today. Jiang Chen feels a headache just thinking about it.

If you calculate it this way, a time flow rate of 1:10 seems to be not enough!

Fortunately, he has almost mastered the skill of folding quilts. He will consolidate it in the evening. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to meet Li Gang's passing standard tomorrow. After that, he can spend most of his time improving his physical fitness.

However, physical fitness is not like folding quilts or memorizing rules and regulations, which can be completed in a day or two at most. It is a big project that takes time to complete.

The stronger Jiang Chen's physical fitness, the slower his progress, but as long as there is room for improvement, he cannot give up.

It can be predicted that in the next few years or even decades, most of his time will be spent on improving his physical fitness.

Since he had chosen to be a soldier, he naturally wanted to be a soldier who could carry a gun and fight. To achieve this wish, physical fitness was an indispensable factor...
