He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 173 My Father and I
"What's wrong, Qinglong? Is this some new leader? Why do you have this expression?"

Ji Bai tilted his head and looked at Lu Qinglong with confusion in his eyes.

It was the first time he saw such a strange expression on Lu Qinglong's face, as if he had seen something scary.

Ji Baichang also immediately looked over and saw that the person walking behind the brigade commander was a major general.

"All of you, stand up!"

The major in charge of all the officers and soldiers of the brigade immediately stood up and shouted.

"Shh!"

About a thousand people stood up in unison.

"Welcome, Commander!"

shouted the Major's voice.

At the same time, all the officers and soldiers began to applaud enthusiastically.

"Ah? Army commander?"

Ji Baichang stared blankly at the tall and majestic man in front of him.

Who would have thought that he was actually their army commander?!

I was just looking for a cricket down there, and now it really appears?
"The commander looks a bit like you, Qinglong."

Ji Baichang stared at the man walking behind the brigade commander, feeling as if he had seen his face somewhere before.

"No, what nonsense are you talking about? Applaud! Don't tell me you don't even give face to the commander!"

Deputy Class Leader Ding Wei glanced at Ji Baichang and gave him a secret reminder.

"Okay."

Ji Baichang nodded and clapped obediently.

When I waited and wanted to observe the expression on Lu Qinglong's face again, Lu Qinglong's face had returned to normal, and the initial surprise was long gone.

Lu Weiguo walked behind the brigade commander and nodded slightly to the major. The major immediately made a pause gesture and then signaled everyone to return to their seats.

When Lu Weiguo walked towards the empty seat reserved for himself in the first row, his eyes fell on Lu Qinglong.

Their eyes met briefly, and Lu Qinglong immediately looked away, unwilling to meet Lu Weiguo's gaze.

He didn't do anything else and just sat in the seat in the center.

"We are grateful to our military commander for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend our commendation ceremony as a special guest as a father."

"Then please let our commander give a speech for us!"

The host's voice was full of excitement.

After he finished speaking, the next 300 recruits and some veterans were a little stunned.

They thought they had misheard, and after checking with each other, they realized that what the host just said was, as a father???

"What do you mean? Among us, someone's father is a military commander?"

The expression on Ji Baichang's face became even more confused. He looked at the veterans beside him, as if trying to find some clues from their faces.

But he found that these veterans seemed to be looking in his direction.

what's the situation?
Following their gaze, Ji Baichang looked at Lu Qinglong who was sitting next to him.

"Wait! That can't be..."

Ji Baichang felt as if he was struck by lightning, his eyes widened as he stared at Lu Qinglong.

When the awards were being presented on the stage just now, I could clearly see the names of the leaders including the brigade commander of the first row.

Then he remembered the empty seat in the middle. On the table was a name tag that read "Lü Weiguo".

Surname "Lü"

Ji Baichang thought of Lv Qinglong's brother Lv Qingtian who died and also had the last name "Lv".

Lv Qinglong's last name is also "Lv"

In an instant! He understood everything!
Great! No wonder Lu Qinglong was sent to the army to serve as a soldier even though he looked like this!
This is not only because he has a martyr brother, but also because of his father.
But why is it that Lu Qinglong killed more than 600 enemies, but only got a second-class merit?

Could it be that the person in front of him didn't want Lu Qinglong to be promoted too quickly and deliberately only gave him a second-class merit?
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts filled Ji Baichang's mind, making his entire brain a mess.

He even forgot everything the commander said afterwards.

It was not until the commendation meeting was over that Ji Baichang felt as if his brain was a little slow. He stared at Lu Qinglong blankly and said:

"Qinglong, you have been hiding this from me for so long!"

"Why didn't you tell me that you have this identity?"

Now it all makes sense!

When I was in the recruit company, I had to undergo a physical examination. If I failed the examination, I would be sent home and my relatives and friends would be strictly investigated.

At that time, he was thinking that if Lu Qinglong was going to be sent home, he would call his father and use his connections to let Lu Qinglong stay.

Only now did he realize that the clown was actually himself. No wonder Chen Ting said at the time that even if Lu Qinglong treated the entire group army as his own backyard, there would be no problem.

This is so true!

Suddenly, Ji Baichang seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around and asked Xue Daochao:
"Old Xue! Tell me the truth, have you known about Lu Qinglong's identity for a long time?"

Xue Daochao glanced at Ji Baichang:
"What's wrong? What's Lu Qinglong's identity? Isn't he just our fellow soldier? What other identities does he have?"

Xue Daochao's words were actually pointing at Ji Baichang. Why did he have to find out Lu Qinglong's identity? Wouldn't it be better to just get along with him as before?

Fortunately, Ji Baichang understood what Xue Daochao meant. He looked at Lu Qinglong and shook his head.

He never mentioned his father to himself. During the three months of training on the plateau, they talked about various things more or less, and this topic was naturally one of them.

At that time, he just thought that Lu Qinglong had a bad relationship with his father, but now it seems that the relationship between them is much more complicated than he imagined.

"Okay, we still have to go to the recruit company to check the situation. We can talk about it later if there is anything else."

Xue Daochao tapped Ji Baichang twice from behind. This time Ji Baichang behaved himself and stopped saying weird things.

After the commendation meeting, the four of them followed the team of 300 new recruits and came to the brigade's playground to prepare for the division of troops.

Because the four of them had just gone on stage to receive awards, the new recruits walking in front of them would look back at them from time to time.

At the same time, some people directly expressed their envy of them and said they wanted to learn from them.

"Eh? Did you hear what our commander said just now? He was speaking as a father. Although he didn't say much, I will go back to the company and ask the veterans, why is there so much power in our brigade? There are actually second generations!"

"What are you talking about? I think our commander is really a selfless person."

"I heard from my squad leader that the captain of the previous Arrow Squadron was revealed only after he died in the battle against the enemy. He was the eldest son of our army commander. Then this year, the army commander's youngest son also joined our unit and is among our three hundred men!"

"seriously!"

"How can I lie to you? I heard it from our squad leader myself."

The topic of conversation among these new recruits is still the same as what they had just held at the military meeting.

They didn't behave themselves until the duty officer who was leading these new recruits stopped and asked them to stand in an open space on the playground and prepare to announce the names of their assigned companies.

The group of recruits held their heads high, apparently because of what the recruit just said. Now everyone wanted to find out who the commander's son was in the crowd so that they could curry favor with him in the future.

Maybe it can make your path easier.

"Be quiet, everyone! Don't rush down to the next company and ask us to teach you a lesson!"

"When you arrive at the various companies, be obedient and follow instructions."

"Okay, those whose names I called can leave now."

The captain on the playground began to shout the names of the recruits through a loud speaker, and one after another, the recruits began to come out.

Among them, every time the captain called out a recruit with the surname "Lu", he could clearly feel that many people around him would look at that recruit, as if they were observing whether he was the commander's son.

But they don't have much influence here.

There were more than eighty people who were called out. After counting the number of people and making sure that everyone was present, the eighty people were taken away.

The number of recruits still standing on the playground was constantly decreasing. After three rounds of shouting, there were less than seventy people left on the entire playground, including Lu Qinglong and the other four.

"Alright, the rest of you are from the First Battalion. You can go in the direction of the First Battalion first."

The captain took a sip of water. It was obvious that he had just talked a lot and his throat was dry.

More than seventy people were taken to the first battalion and divided into companies again. It is worth mentioning that Liang Kun, who was previously known as the best recruit, was also assigned to the first company like them.

The new recruits who can enter the first company of the first battalion are all those with high test scores, and there are basically no unqualified recruits.

"Lu Qinglong, the four of you in class one should go back first. There is no need to divide the classes for assessment."

The veteran soldier on duty at the company winked at the four of them, and then the four of them nodded and went upstairs.

I just reached the second floor and was about to push open the dormitory door and walk in.

The four of them discovered that the twelve new recruits who had just been assigned to the company were now all lying on the ground, crawling forward in a low posture, under the order of the duty officer!

“Is this a show of force?”

"And they were wearing casual clothes? Isn't this a bit cruel?"

Ji Baichang secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, they had lived with the veterans for such a long time since their early days, otherwise their fate would probably have been the same as that of the new recruits crawling on the concrete floor in their uniforms.

"Oh, by the way, I was going to treat everyone to a barbecue, I almost forgot about it."

"I'll go contact the takeaway."

Ji Baichang rushed into the classroom and excitedly started ordering takeout.

Lu Qinglong turned around and went up to the third floor and came to the door of the baggage warehouse.

Through the window, one could see Chen Ting sitting on a camouflage front bag, holding a slightly yellowed envelope in his hand.
