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

Chapter 44 Reward!

"What are you making such a fuss about? You're already non-commissioned officers, can you take it easy?"

Squad leader Chen Ting sat on the bed and took a sip of the tea that had already been brewed too much.

The tea that Ji Baichang brought was really delicious. He had already brewed it for the eighth time, and each time he brewed it, he had a different feeling.

"Sergeant Chen! I just overheard a phone call from the battalion to the company commander at the company headquarters."

"It seems that in a month, there will be a competition between new and old soldiers to motivate the new recruits' training enthusiasm. At that time, all the veterans in the battalion will participate."

"The battalion headquarters also said that new recruits can also participate. No matter whether they are new recruits or veterans, as long as they can get first place in the end, they will receive a commendation."

Wang Yuan took the small stool of the new recruits nearby, sat on it and spoke happily.

"Class leader! The subjects of the competition are the horizontal bar and the three-kilometer race. Isn't this just giving you a free award?"

The order of the troops' rewards from high to low is as follows:

"August 1st Medal, Honorary Title, First Class Merit, Second Class Merit, Third Class Merit, Commendation"

Among them, commendation comes last.

However, only about 5% of the soldiers can receive this reward. Those who can receive the reward from the army are also quite outstanding.

Normally, a company will have one third-class merit award, two commendations, and several four-class military medal awards every year.

If it were an ordinary day, he might need to work diligently in the company for a year, work hard and participate in exercises and training, and maybe the company would give him a commendation at the end of the year.

But in a competition like this one between new and old soldiers in the entire battalion, anyone who came in first would receive a commendation or reward, which Wang Yuan thought was no different from giving it away for free.

After all, don't forget that they are veterans from the special operations brigade, which is completely different from other veterans.

Maybe other veterans of the brigade can run 3 kilometers in 11 minutes, so 10 minutes is considered a very good result.

But in the special operations brigade, it can only be considered barely passing.

It's not that Wang Yuan is pulling someone down, but that's the fact. Squad Leader Chen Ting is even more terrifying. He is only 33 years old and has been a veteran with 16 years of service.

In running and these basic physical fitness subjects, he still has absolute dominance.

"A commendation? I won't argue with that. Let's give you young people a chance. Last year, the company commander wanted to give me a third-class merit award, but I refused, didn't I?"

"Wang Yuan, you have just been promoted to a non-commissioned officer in your third year. If you are capable, then you can join. I won't join."

Chen Ting shook his head. The reward that seemed very important to them, the new non-commissioned officers, was obviously not enough when placed in front of him.

At my age as a soldier, I have seen so much and have long lost the competitive spirit I had when I was young.

"Oh, squad leader, is this true? Then I won't be polite."

"You kid, you came here just to find out what I mean, right?"

Chen Ting couldn't help but laugh and scold.

This kid is really shrewd, but the opportunity should be left to the young people.

"Hey, of course not, monitor!"

"Then I'm leaving!"

The monitor of Class 2 stood up with a smile, greeted Chen Ting again, and left the class without stopping.

Even before leaving for the first shift, he still had a smile on his face, as if the two awards were already in his pocket!
"Wow, Xue Daochao, did you hear the conversation between the squad leader next door and our squad leader just now? There's a competition for new and old soldiers, and the first place will be rewarded!"

Ji Baichang poked Xue Daochao, who was pressing the quilt beside him, with his elbow.

"Yes, I'm not deaf."

Xue Dao gave Ji Baichang a long look.

"So what are your plans? How about we work together and see if we can compete for the first place!"

"That's a commendation! It's our first chance to make merit since we joined the army!" Ji Baichang suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice.

"Don't think about it. I think this thing should be difficult. Are we new recruits fighting for this?"

Xue Daochao shook his head. He was very self-aware.

I ran three kilometers in ten minutes and fifty-five seconds. Although I was far ahead of the other recruits, it was still far from enough when compared with the veterans in the battalion.

"I can push you from behind!"

"Just like when you run out of strength, I thoughtfully appear behind you and help you push forward."

"What do you think!"

Ji Bai's eyes rolled and he had a bold idea.

"No, you're not holding back on anything good, are you? When did you become so kind?"

Xue Daochao stared at Ji Baichang with suspicion.

"Oh! Brother Du Jibai! How could I lie to you!"

"I think it's better to give you a good deal than to give others a good deal! When the matter is done, you can just tell my fortune, how about that?"

Ji Baichang patted his chest, looking harmless.

"How fast can I run if you push me like this? The most important thing is to first understand the monitor of the second squad next door and see how fast he can run three kilometers. Otherwise, how can we surpass him?"

"Also, before that, have you forgotten that we have Lu Qinglong in our class?"

"Oh my gosh! I forgot that there is Qinglong in our class! Okay, I will give up the plan of pushing you from behind for now. I will continue with it when you have a girlfriend."

"piss off!"

Xue Daochao pushed Ji Baichang speechlessly. This guy never says anything good every day.

"Qinglong! In this competition between new soldiers and veterans, you must win first place in both items!"

"If I remember correctly, you ran the three kilometers yesterday in nine minutes and forty seconds! This result is unbeatable! As long as we maintain this result, the first place in the three kilometers will definitely be yours!"

Ji Baichang walked up to Lu Qinglong and said meaningfully.

He was really envious. Lu Qinglong's physical fitness suddenly became a mess.

He did more than eighty pull-ups on the horizontal bar. It was unclear if there was anyone among this group of veterans who could do more than that.

It's a pity that there is no pure strength test, otherwise Lu Qinglong would have gone straight to the gauze!!!

"Is this true? Don't lie to me. What's this competition between new and old soldiers?"

Lu Qinglong scratched his head.

He had just come back from the toilet and didn't hear the speech of the monitor of Class 2.

"No hurry! I'll explain it to you in detail later. Anyway, Qinglong, you are going to make a contribution."

Ji Baichang patted Lu Qinglong's chest, and his hand hurt from the shock of his exaggerated pectoral muscles.

"alright."

Lu Qinglong nodded without understanding why.

After completing the three hundred with great difficulty, the recruits were finally able to wash up and lie down in bed.

These two days have been really tiring for them. It seems that the only time they have is when they are lying in bed after turning off the lights.

"Woooooo~"

Lu Qinglong had sharp ears and he seemed to hear the crying of a new recruit hiding under the quilt.
