I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 51: Changing career?

"Comrade Commander, you don't have to say more. I understand. It's a great fortune to be alive. I dare not ask for anything more!" Lin Chen replied expressionlessly.

Cui Kefu thought Lin Chen was still angry and could only smile awkwardly. As an army commander, he could say so much to a sergeant, which was already breaking the rules. He could only hope that Lin Chen would take care of himself.

"Next, regarding your work arrangements, there are two considerations. One is to send you to the Airborne School to learn airborne operations, so that you can conduct special operations behind enemy lines in the future. The other is to send you to the Naval School to study, so that we may need to focus on strengthening our Soviet Navy in the future."

Cui Kefu's words were undoubtedly beyond Lin Chen's expectations.

I'm doing well in the army, why should I be transferred?
But on second thought, he could understand that if he continued to fight, he probably wouldn't be able to get promoted. And after going to military school, he could become an officer when he graduated, and his prospects would be more optimistic.

[Beep~ System prompt: In view of the host's outstanding performance in the Battle of Stalingrad, you will be rewarded with submarine command combat capabilities!

Current command and combat capability is at the primary level. 】

Damn, this system that has been silent for so long has finally come back to life. I am only a few steps away from upgrading to Level 3. Since it has given me the ability to command and fight submarines, what else am I talking about?

"Comrade Commander, I choose the Navy!"

"Oh?" Chuikov was very surprised, because the navy has always been the Soviet army's weak point and is not very strong.

而截至1941年，苏联战略空降力量已拥有10个空降军、5个空降旅、5个预备空降团和1所空降兵学校。

The development prospects are very bright!

"You have to think carefully. The navy has a weak foundation now, especially after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the system has been almost disrupted. Facing the German naval power, our navy is not at an advantage!" Although Chuikov was an army general, he had heard about the navy's recent situation. The Battle of Stalingrad had reached its most difficult period, and many naval reserve and even active personnel in the rear were incorporated into combat units and deployed in counterattacks.

"I've thought about it!" Lin Chen answered with great determination.

The Soviet airborne operations during World War II did not seem to have any famous battles. Isn't this enough to explain the problem? The navy is different. After the war, the Soviet Navy was the second largest force in the world.

"Okay, then you should go to the White Sea Fleet in Arkhangelsk for training! I'm sorry, but all our decent naval schools are in Leningrad, which is still under siege by the German army! The White Sea Fleet has some instructors evacuated from the city, and the conditions may be difficult! You must be mentally prepared.

The specific written proof will be handed over to you by a special person. Work hard, young man! I believe you will be the best wherever you are!"

Cuikov's words were not polite at all. He was a witness to Lin Chen's growth from a useless person to an outstanding Soviet pioneer. At first, he was also skeptical. Why did this guy suddenly become so powerful?

But there are indeed quite a few people who have experienced the transformation of war, and he doesn't have the time to check all these trivial things. There are too many things that need him to worry about.

After returning from the headquarters, Lin Chen told Pavlov and others about his arrangements.

Although Pavlov was very puzzled by Lin Chen's choice, he still chose to support him.

The life-and-death friendship forged on the battlefield is beyond words.

The transfer order was issued very quickly, and since the destination was far away, we had to set off early.

Fortunately, there is a direct railway from Stalingrad to Arkhangelsk.

Pavlov and others accompanied him to the train and prepared a lot of food for him.

In addition to some spare clothes, Lin Chen also brought his favorite sniper rifle. Fortunately, it was wartime, so it was common for soldiers to carry guns on the train.

The carriage was very empty, which was no wonder. It was the period of the Great Patriotic War, and there were many people coming from all over the place to reinforce the front line, but there were very few people going to non-frontline combat areas such as the White Sea Fleet.

If the train attendant hadn't seen Lin Chen's transfer order and the medals on his body, he would have been mistaken for a deserter. However, after his identity was confirmed, the train attendant's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees.

Not only did they provide full support for food and drink, but several young flight attendants also pestered him to tell them about the defense war.

Lin Chen basically just smiled and didn't want to answer more. The only memories of the war were blood and cruelty. What was there to say about these?
Along the way, Lin Chen realized the vast territory of the Soviet Union. This was not even the farthest distance, but the train took so long.

There were many wreckages of destroyed trains along the way, scattered on both sides of the railway, and many bodies that had not been dealt with in time, which was shocking to see.

"Woo~~~~~~"

Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded and the train applied emergency brakes.

Everyone fell forward unconsciously due to inertia.

People walking in the aisle were suddenly thrown to pieces. A flight attendant who passed by Lin Chen was grabbed by Lin Chen at the moment of falling, thus avoiding physical pain.

After expressing her gratitude to Lin Chen, she hurried to take care of other passengers.

The luggage in the carriage was scattered all over the floor, making people even more frightened and uneasy.

"Dear passengers, please do not panic. A section of track ahead was destroyed by a German plane and the train can no longer move forward. You need to walk to the next stop, which is about 15 kilometers away, to transfer there. I hope you can help each other and get through the difficult times together." The conductor's standard Russian voice came from the loudspeaker.

"These damned Germans!"

"Damn it, luckily I braked, otherwise I would have derailed."

There was a lot of cursing in the carriage, but we had no choice but to pack up and get off.

Lin Chen didn't care. 15 kilometers was nothing for a march.

He didn't have much luggage, so he just put on a sniper rifle and a backpack and got off the bus.

Of course, there are also quite a lot of people who are unwilling to get off the train and would rather return and wait for the railway to resume traffic.

As soon as we got off the train, the biting cold wind made people coming out of the warm carriage extremely uncomfortable, but everyone still walked forward along the carriage.

"Wait!" Suddenly, someone shouted from behind and everyone turned around.

It turned out that it was the flight attendant girl that Lin Chen had just helped who ran over and stuffed some pastries into Lin Chen's hands without saying a word, then whispered, "Lin, good luck to you."

He ran back to the carriage without looking back. The train started to move slowly, but it was heading in the return direction, and it needed to find a fork in the road to turn around.

The people around burst into laughter and teased Lin Chen, saying that he had won the heart of a girl.

In fact, Lin Chen was completely confused. He couldn't even remember what the girl looked like, let alone her name.

"Oh no! Enemy planes!"

Someone was sharp-eyed and saw an enemy plane flying from the west.
