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

Chapter 273 Arrival at the Army Special Operations School!

"Don't cry, don't cry, Ji Baichang, don't cry anymore. Aren't you ashamed of yourself as a grown man? The squad leader has already left."

Xue Daochao looked at Ji Baichang who was crying beside him and couldn't help but nudge him with his elbow.

"You don't know Lao Xue! You have no heart at all! I really can't bear to part with the squad leader!"

Ji Baichang grabbed the clothes of Xue Daochao beside him, then wiped his face, and quietly wiped all his tears and snot on the camouflage uniform of Xue Daochao.

"You bastard! Why did you smear your snot all over me!"

Xue Daochao immediately looked at Ji Baichang with disgust, took two steps back and patted his camouflage uniform.

"Oh, Old Xue, I really can't bear to part with my squad leader."

"Stop, stop! I can't bear to leave. Besides, we're leaving soon. Have you packed your things?"

After seeing off the old soldier, everyone returned to their respective companies.

In previous years, after seeing off the veterans, the unit would organize a week-long work style rectification. The laxity of the veterans before they left would often infect some people.

The purpose of the work style rectification is to control the nerves of these people and prevent them from being too lax.

During this week's work style rectification period, everything is strictly enforced, even for the soldiers of their special operations brigade. They have to start taking care of their internal affairs and every aspect.

Of course, these actually have little to do with Lu Qinglong and the other three, because they will report to the military academy in the afternoon.

Originally they were supposed to leave tomorrow, but there happened to be a bus in the brigade heading towards Guilin, so they simply took these promoted personnel on board.

After a while, everyone returned to the classroom, packed up and planned to go to the open space in front of the door to conduct queue training. Queue training is also an important part of their work style rectification.

The three of them told the duty officer and stayed in the class to pack their personal belongings, after all, they were leaving for the military academy in the afternoon.

"It's true that after I got the rank of corporal, things are a little different."

Ji Baichang walked to the military mirror, looked at the two thin shoulders, and inexplicably felt that his temperament was changing.

Even looking at Xue Daochao and Lu Qinglong, who also held the rank of corporal, they felt that things were a little different from usual.

"What's that old saying?"

"Two crutches on the shoulders, boundless magic power?"

Ji Baichang turned his head and looked at Lu Qinglong, as if he wanted to get Lu Qinglong's sympathy.

"Don't be too happy too soon. After lunch, we still have to go to the quartermaster to get the cadet's armband."

"This rank of corporal is indeed much better looking than the rank of private, but we can't wear it for long."

"Oh! I know about Qinglong. I was just expressing my feelings."

"Come on, let's continue packing."

In fact, the three of them had almost packed their things. Yesterday, they had received the forms for carrying supplies to the military academy, and they had already prepared everything according to what was written on them.

Now, all I have to do is make my bed.

After making the beds, they just sit on the wooden board and play with their cell phones. No one will say anything to them anyway. They are all about to leave the company, and their treatment is actually not much different from those retired veterans.

They are people who are not under any supervision.

The veterans were standing in line outside, while the three of them were in the air-conditioned classroom playing with their cell phones.

Before lunch, Ji Baichang heard the attendant on duty outside the building shouting for everyone to disperse, and then quickly greeted Lu Qinglong and Xue Daochao. When Ding Wei and other veterans pushed open the door of a classroom, they found that the three of them had already packed up.

"Are you ready? After lunch, just go to the quartermaster to ask for the cadets' military ranks. He has a lot of them."

Ding Wei has gradually transformed from a deputy class leader to a class monitor. It can be seen that he is working hard to change himself.

"Okay, Squad Leader Ding."

Ji Baichang responded, and after finishing lunch, the three of them found the quartermaster.

The quartermaster was a fourth-term non-commissioned officer. He looked a little bald and had a big belly. He seemed to have gained some weight.

Ding Wei told me that in his early years, the quartermaster was a very strong and elite soldier in the brigade. However, he was injured while performing a mission later, so his body can no longer train as vigorously as before.

So, in recognition of his hard work over the years and his contributions to the brigade, his superiors appointed him as the quartermaster of a battalion, responsible for logistics support.

Although it is logistical support, this quartermaster can still complete his tasks quite well.

He is a very nice person, and he doesn't show off just because of his seniority in the army. Instead, he is very patient with new recruits.

"You three are here? Are you here to get your cadet ranks?"

"I have already prepared it for you a long time ago. One set of shoulder straps, soft badges, and hard badges."

"As for these military ranks, the military academy should issue them to you after you go there, but we'll give you one set first to prevent them from not giving it to you when you get there."

The quartermaster said this with a smile, turned around and handed over three sets of "one-bar" military ranks representing the cadets that had been prepared in advance to the three people.

The three men took the three sets of military ranks representing the cadets, thanked the quartermaster, and quickly returned to the class.

Ji Baichang had just returned to the classroom and couldn't wait to change into the cadet military rank. The two crutches representing the rank of corporal were ruthlessly taken off by him before he could even warm up to the rank.

"Sure! From now on, when I see you, Ji Baichang, I will probably have to respectfully call you Chief."

Ding Wei looked at Ji Baichang, who was wearing the student badge and looked very proud, and said happily.

"Yes! Commander Ji! You will be our connection from now on! You must develop well and work your way up! If my children want to join the army in the future, it will all depend on you!"

The other veterans also laughed along.

In fact, they are quite clear about it.

After Ji Baichang and the other two left Class 1, they might never come back.

It’s not that I won’t return to the 1st Company, 1st Battalion, Special Operations Brigade, but I won’t return to this 1st Squad.

By then their identities will have changed.

After graduation, he will be a second lieutenant, a platoon-level officer, able to lead an entire platoon of three squads. How could he still make inappropriate jokes as he does now?

"Hey! Sure, sure! I'll be a brigade commander someday, and I'll have you all working under me for retirement!"

Ji Baichang responded with a grin.

No matter how he looked at himself, he felt like a different person now, he even looked taller and more powerful!

"When you get to the military academy, don't forget us old guys. You can contact us if you have any problems."

Ding Wei also imitated what Chen Ting did before, saying caring words to the three of them. "Don't worry, Class Leader Ding! There will be no problem at all!"

The three of them nodded in response.

During the lunch break, the three chatted with other veterans in the class for a long time.

By the time we got up in the afternoon, the duty officer had already arrived at the door of Shift 1 and knocked on the door.

After opening the classroom door, he said to Lu Qinglong and the other two inside:
"You three should pack up. The bus for the brigade to study in Guilin has arrived. It's at the same parking lot as this morning. I'll take you there."

"Okay! Let's go, everyone!"

Ji Baichang excitedly put on his bag and held his black front transport bag in his hand.

After saying goodbye to all the members of the class, he was the first one to walk out of the class.

"Bon Voyage!"

"Yeah, have a nice trip."

The three followed the attendant to the parking lot and saw a bus parked in the parking lot from a distance.

This bus should be the one that transported the veterans this morning, but now it should be driven by a different driver from the motorcade.

Compared to the bustling scene in the morning, this place seems a bit deserted.

"Keep going! I'm very optimistic about the three of you. You will definitely be the best talents in our brigade in the future!"

The officer on duty, like other veterans, stood in front of the three of them and did not forget to cheer them up.

It can be said that all the veterans the three of them met along the way, especially those who knew that they were going to military school, all gave them encouragement with a smile.

The three of them first placed their backpacks and luggage under the bus, and then boarded the bus.

About half of the bus is now occupied by veterans.

Judging from their military ranks, most of them are first-term non-commissioned officers, and some are even privates like Ji Baichang and his men.

Every year when the retired soldiers leave the army, most of them are faced with various intensive training and on-site training missions. The people on their car are going to Guilin to study.

Because Lu Qinglong was quite stout, he could only sit in the last row.

There was already a veteran sitting in the last row, but when he saw Lu Qinglong walking towards him, he tactfully gave up his seat.

After all, Lu Qinglong's appearance is so iconic that no one will ever forget his face. He is the kind that you can remember for a lifetime after just one look at him.

In addition to the identity behind him, and in recent days, Lu Qinglong's identity has become more and more bizarre.

Some people even said that Lu Qinglong used some genetic drugs to transform his body and became like this.

In short, the rumors are becoming more and more exaggerated, so much so that most people will choose to take a detour when they see Lu Qinglong.

Lu Qinglong was already accustomed to these things. He sat down in the spacious back seat and began to doze off leaning against the window.

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao were in much the same situation. After getting on the bus, the novelty of the experience had basically worn off a lot, and they fell into a sweet dream while enjoying the air conditioning on the bus.

The bus trip from Yamu takes a long time, and it takes six or seven hours to reach Guilin.

So after they woke up from a nap, they were still on the bus and did not arrive as soon as they woke up.

We simply chatted with each other for a while so that the time in the car didn't feel so long.

If they pass a service area on the way, the bus driver will make a brief stop every two hours to allow them to get off to use the toilet or buy some food.

It’s just that because they are wearing camouflage uniforms, the prerequisite for doing all this is that they need to line up and be led to the toilet together. After going to the toilet, they also have to line up in front of the toilet door.

It has become a beautiful landscape in the service area, and many passers-by raised their mobile phones to take pictures.

After passing two more service areas, we finally arrived in Guilin.

However, the destination of these veterans in the car was different from where they were going.

The driver of the bus sent the three of them first.

The Army Special Operations College has a total of eight camps, and the one they are going to is in Guilin.

If you just search on the navigation, you won't be able to find it. Only the drivers in their car team can find this place by relying on their brains and maps.

The location is relatively remote, and it feels similar to the geographical location of their special operations brigade.

They are all about ten kilometers away from the city.

"Ah? Why is there a sign for Guilin Army College hanging over there?"

Ji Bai stretched out his hand and pointed outside the window, his eyes a little confused.

"We're here now. Have you forgotten what the monitor told us when we were here?"

"He said this was the Guilin Army School, which was later reorganized and joined the Army Special Operations College."

"Let's go, the car has stopped, that means we have arrived, let's get off."

Lu Qinglong stretched out his hand and nodded behind Ji Baichang, then strode out of the car.

Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang got off the bus shortly after and took out their luggage from under the bus.

The driver gave the three of them a thumbs-up, then stepped on the accelerator. The bus quickly disappeared from their sight, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Then shall we go in directly?"

Ji Baichang glanced towards the gate. Apart from the two lonely sentries on duty, they didn't see any welcoming staff.
"That should be it? Otherwise, I'll go over there and ask."

Lu Qinglong suggested while looking in the direction of the gate sentry.

You can't just stand here and do nothing, right? That would be too weird.

"Qinglong, let's go together. It would be a bit too abrupt if you go alone."

Ji Baichang quickly grabbed Lu Qinglong and said that he wanted to go together.

After all, Lu Qinglong looks like this, so he might be mistaken for a terrorist who broke into the academy.

The three of them then took their luggage and strode towards the gate.

At this time, a student standing guard at the sentry post looked at the three people walking towards them with some confusion.
