My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Li Qiang!"

"To!"

"Go, get his small yellow basin and bring back half a basin of water." Pointing at Zhang Meng who had a bucket on his head, Li Gang sneered.

"Yes!"

Li Qiang didn't dare to delay and hurried back to the dormitory to find Zhang Meng's small yellow basin and go to the water room to get water.

After a while, Li Qiang came back with a large basin of water.

"Put it on the ground."

"Yes!"

"You guys like to smoke, right? Watch me, if anyone feels the urge to smoke, you can tell me anytime, but the prerequisite is that you have to drink it all!"

Li Gang, smiling, walked to the small yellow basin filled with water and reached into his pocket to pull out two packs of cigarettes.

Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and took a look. When he saw the cigarette in Li Gang's hand, he couldn't help but pray for Zhang Meng in his heart again.

"Nimma, this is Yangcheng?!"

"If you use this thing to make tea, and really drink it, I'm afraid it will be fatal!!"

Others may not know the power of this cigarette, but Jiang Chen, who had the good fortune to smoke it once in his previous life, knows it very well.

He still remembers that feeling.

How to describe it?

It smells dry and choking, just like the dry tobacco pipe in the countryside.

As he spoke, Li Gang had already opened a pack of cigarettes, removed the filters, crushed them and threw them into the basin.

The originally clear water surface quickly turned yellow-brown and emitted a strong smell of tobacco.

"How about it? This treatment is good, one cigarette for a pot of tea. If anyone wants to smoke in the future, you are welcome to come to me." Li Gang crushed a whole pack of cigarettes and threw them into the water, then glanced at everyone and said.

Hearing this, everyone, including the new recruits who were watching the fun on the side, couldn't help but shrink their heads, shaking their heads like rattles.

"Haha, no, I still want to live two more years!"

What a joke, you are really taking tobacco leaves as tea.

If they drink half a basin of tobacco and tea, they will die. They don't want to enjoy this treatment.

"Here, I'll give you another pack as a reward. Remember to drink the tea on the ground when you're done. Come back when you've finished!"

"Ahem... squad leader, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Ahem... ahem... please forgive me."

"Hmph, now you know you're wrong. What were you doing when you were smoking?!" Li Gang ruthlessly rejected Zhang Meng's plea for mercy.

“Ahem… yes…”

"By the way, clean the bucket for me after you finish pumping!"

After saying this, Li Gang took the rest of Class 5 back to the dormitory.

For Zhang Meng, this day is definitely an unforgettable day.

For the other recruits who witnessed the whole process, it was also an unforgettable day.

After smoking almost two boxes of cigarettes, including the box of cigarettes given by Li Gang and the ten or so cigarettes that Zhang Meng had in his hand before, when he took off the bucket on his head, Zhang Meng's whole face had turned a waxy yellow, and his hair and cheeks were stained with a layer of black tar.

As for the bucket, it had already been smoked to pieces...

This is just the beginning. The following smoking and drinking tea are the most torturous part.

There was a big bowl of tea. Zhang Meng took a sip and almost vomited out the food he had eaten the previous night. The taste was so strong.

Zhang Meng drank and vomited at the same time, and was forced to drink most of the pot of tobacco and tea. Only then did Li Gang let him go.

After drinking, Zhang Meng lay down beside the sink and retched for a long time. After drinking a bellyful of cold water and vomiting it out, he felt better.

When she returned to the dormitory, Zhang Meng felt like she had lost half her life. She was so listless that she couldn't even sit still...

When others saw Zhang Meng's miserable condition, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva and silently nipped the thoughts in the bud.

"The rest of you continue to fold the quilts. Zhang Meng, you've had a good rest, so go and clean the bathroom. You almost turned the bathroom into a pigsty!"

"Yes……"

After resting for more than half an hour, Zhang Meng finally recovered a little.

After all, Li Gang was just punishing him, not wanting to kill him.

Although it was uncomfortable to smoke two packs of cigarettes while holding a bucket, as long as the smoke didn't go down my throat stupidly, I could still bear it. At most, I would feel a little unbearable because of the smoke.

As for tobacco and tea, these things are really torturous. Drinking one cup is enough to make people uncomfortable for the whole day, not to mention that Zhang Meng drank half a bowl.

Not to mention half a basin of tobacco or tea, even if you drink half a basin of water, you will probably feel uncomfortable for a long time.

However, Li Gang also had a scale in his heart. Except for forcing Zhang Meng to swallow the first few mouthfuls, he basically spat out the rest as soon as it entered his mouth, and not much actually went into his stomach.

It will not cause serious consequences and will make you unforgettable for the rest of your life.

These are the experiences accumulated by veteran squad leaders from generation to generation.

They had experienced the rain in the past, so naturally they wanted to let those who came after them experience it as well.

The troops should be the first group to carry out the "Umbrella Tearing" operation.

……

After returning in the evening, while there was still some time before the evening roll call, Li Gang asked everyone to continue reciting the rules and regulations.

"Jiang Chen, you must maintain discipline. I'm going to have a meeting and will be back before the evening roll call."

"Yes!"

After giving Jiang Chen some instructions, Li Gang left with the notebook.

As soon as Li Gang left, the originally quiet dormitory immediately became noisy. No one read their books anymore and gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

"Hey, Zhang Meng, where did you hide the cigarettes? Even Li Dapao couldn't find them?!" Chu Fei had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he never had the chance. Now, as soon as Li Gang left, he ran over.

Zhang Meng touched his nose awkwardly, hesitating whether to tell him.

"Oh, I'm so anxious, Brother Zhang, Brother Meng, just tell me something!" Chu Fei pulled Zhang Meng's arm and begged.

"It's nothing actually..." Zhang Meng felt a little embarrassed when being called that, so he simply didn't hide it.

He walked to the bed and lifted the quilt to reveal the bare bed board underneath.

"Look, it's hidden in this place." Zhang Meng pointed to the gap in the middle of the wooden board and said.

"Damn, you're too smart. If you didn't tell me, Li Dapao would never have thought of this place!" Chu Fei shouted in a slightly exaggerated tone.

The place where Zhang Meng hid the cigarettes was too secretive.

Make use of the gap in the middle of the wooden board to hide the cigarettes one by one, cover them with a mattress, and the cigarettes will not be crushed when people sleep on them. When you want to smoke, you can secretly take out a cigarette, which is both concealed and convenient.

The other matches and paper towels are wrapped in toilet paper. Even if someone finds it, it’s okay. As long as you don’t open it, no one knows what’s inside.

He really can think of any tricks to smoke...

"Hey, how did you light the cigarette with such a small match? Aren't you afraid of burning your hands?" Li Qiang also came over and interrupted.

This guy is also a heavy smoker. He must have been holding it in for so many days. Now that he can't smoke, it might as well satisfy his craving.

Zhang Meng touched his nose and said with some pride: "Well, when I was living in the dormitory in high school, the teachers checked very strictly. Not to mention cigarettes, even lighters would be punished. There was nothing we could do..."

"Oh, so that's how it is. You have a lot of ideas. Now that you've been caught, what are you going to do next?"

"Well, let's talk about it later. There will always be a time..." Zhang Meng responded subconsciously, but as he spoke he felt something was wrong.

The dormitory seemed a little too quiet. Apart from him, Chu Fei and Li Qiang, why were the others silent? !

"Could it be..." Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Meng's Adam's apple moved and he couldn't help swallowing, turning his head mechanically.

"Ah! Class...Class...Class Monitor!"

"You and I……"

Looking back and seeing Li Gang's dark face, Zhang Meng was so scared that she almost jumped up from the stool. The other two people were not much better. Chu Fei was so scared that he stuttered for a long time.

"Are you trying to say, didn't I leave, why am I back again?" Li Gang replied with a smile.

"No...no..." Chu Fei waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he did not mean that.

"Humph, I knew someone was dishonest!" Li Gang snorted coldly and stood up. He pointed the folder in his hand at the three people and said, "Make your beds. The three of you get out and stand outside!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Meng quickly made her bed and followed Li Qiang and the others to the corridor to stand as punishment.

After dealing with the three people, Li Gang looked at Jiang Chen again: "Jiang Chen, I didn't let you be the deputy monitor just for show. You are the monitor when I'm not here. If something similar happens next time, you will be held equally responsible!"

"Yes!" Jiang Chen straightened his back and saluted.

After scolding Jiang Chen, Li Gang came to the table, opened the drawer, took out a gel pen, and then left slowly.

It wasn't until Li Gang's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said with some lingering fear: "Mm, I was almost scared to death..."

He didn't notice when Li Gang came back just now. Seeing that the dormitory was in a mess, he put down his book and stood up to speak, but when he turned around, Li Gang was standing behind him. He was so scared that he almost jumped up, and that led to what happened afterwards.

However, from this incident, Jiang Chen also discovered that his performance as the deputy monitor seemed to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

Maybe it was because he was a soldier in the same year, or maybe it was because he always presented himself as a good guy, so other people in the class didn't take him seriously.

Everything was fine when the squad leader was around, but things got chaotic as soon as Li Gang was gone.

"I have to find a way to establish my authority..." Jiang Chen thought to himself.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he felt something was wrong. Establishing authority should be the job of the squad leader. The deputy squad leader needs prestige, but there is no need to be as strict as the squad leader.

This is a bit like the relationship between a company commander and an instructor, one plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop, the two work together...

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen gradually came up with an idea.

……

Training, training, training, and more training. The three kilometers I can never finish, the push-ups I can never finish...

As time passed, everyone's training volume gradually increased. Almost all the recruits gritted their teeth and persevered. Finally, the recruits welcomed the first weekend after joining the army.

"Tomorrow is Saturday. In addition to the necessary training and study, I will give you some rest and free time..."

"Wuhu!!!" Before Li Gang finished speaking, cheers broke out in the dormitory.

It’s not that they have no discipline, nor that everyone is no longer afraid of Li Gang, the squad leader, it’s just that this period of time has been too hard and tiring.

The endless training and the extremely tight schedule made everyone tense and not dare to let their guard down, but now they finally had some free time to relax their tense nerves.

"Everyone be quiet!!"

Li Gang also understood the feelings of the recruits, and when everyone had cheered enough, he spoke up to stop everyone.

After everyone quieted down, Li Gang continued, "Although it's the weekend, I can't let you stay in bed and sleep in all the time."

"Tomorrow the bathhouse will provide hot water, so those who need to bathe should take a good bath, and take out the clothes in the closet and wash them. Also, we will send you cell phones, so those who need to contact their families can contact them..."

When Chu Fei heard that he would be sending out mobile phones tomorrow, a blush appeared on his face, and his excitement was beyond words.

However, before he could be happy for too long, Li Gang's next words were like a bucket of cold water, which instantly brought him back to his senses.

"However, let me be clear. I will send you the cell phones, but you must memorize the confidentiality regulations word for word. If you don't memorize them..."

Looking around at everyone, and finally focusing on Chu Fei, Li Gang continued: "You can only use your mobile phone to talk to your family, the time limit is five minutes, and you must be accompanied by me throughout the whole process!"

"Ah, I still have to recite the confidentiality regulations?!" Chu Fei couldn't help but wail out loud.

Ignoring Chu Fei's wailing, Li Gang looked at everyone and said seriously: "You must know where you are and what your identity is!"

"This is a military unit, you are soldiers!"

"Secrecy is the duty of all soldiers!"

Afterwards, Li Gang talked about some weekend schedules and told everyone that they didn’t need to get up early to make the quilts tomorrow.

At half past nine, everyone lay down on their beds and fell asleep with excitement, excitement and anticipation for the holiday.

Even during the holidays, Jiang Chen did not slack off in his self-improvement.

However, then again, only a combination of work and rest can lead to long-term success. Although you don't need to worry about physical and mental problems in dreams, it would be mentally unbearable to practice like this every day.

It just so happened that Li Gang said that the rules and regulations would be reviewed tomorrow, so Jiang Chen simply shifted his attention to this.

……

Silent all night.

Since it is the weekend, there is naturally no need to get up early like before. Li Gang is not so abnormal.

Everyone slept until dawn, and when the wakeup call sounded, they slowly got out of bed.

It was said that there was no need for morning drills on weekends, but in reality everyone was still dragged to run a lap on the playground.

Of course, the training volume is much easier than during the week, and the platoon leaders of each squad will not chase after the recruits like they are chasing rats.

After an easy three-kilometer run and fifty push-ups, the morning exercise is over.

When we go to the cafeteria to eat, we are not given only five minutes to eat like during the week.

Of course, we still have to cherish food and not waste it.

After dinner, it’s free time.

However, the free activities here are completely different from the free activities that Jiang Chen and others understand.

Not to mention walking around freely, even leaving the dormitory gate requires reporting to the monitor and obtaining permission before leaving.

What's more, Li Gang had said last night that there would be a random check of the regulations today. Those who have not passed the inspection, don't even think about taking a break with your phone. It would be good enough if you don't have to work overtime to memorize the regulations.
