War Military: From 1978

Chapter 43: Vision, the Veteran Who Cheated on His Father
"Lao Cui, you got up so early?"

At the recruit camp headquarters, just as the recruits got up and began to struggle with their quilts, the battalion commander also got up.

But when he went out, he saw that the lights in the office next door were on.

So he put on his clothes and walked to the door and opened it.

"Haha, I haven't slept yet!" When Instructor Cui saw the battalion commander coming in, he stopped writing, looked up, and said with a smile.

"Huh? You didn't sleep?"

He walked into the office.

At a glance, he saw a diagram spread out on the table by the instructor, which showed various lines, symbols, and even posture and font markings.

"What are you doing here?" The battalion commander couldn't help but take a closer look before asking, "Is this the enemy's defense map?"

He actually couldn't quite understand the map, but he recognized the names of several signs on it as the towns across the street.

"No!" The instructor shook his head, then he put down the pen in his hand and picked up a pack of cigarettes on the map.

While holding one in his mouth, he also gave one to the battalion commander.

"Wow~!"

The match lit up.

"Huh~" Instructor Cui exhaled a puff of smoke before looking at the battalion commander again and saying, "This is just a simple map of the troop strength and power distribution in our area!"

"Where did it come from?" the battalion commander asked a little confused.

The instructor laughed and said, "I asked those three Vietnamese soldiers last night!"

After a pause, the instructor smiled a bit tiredly and said, "You should know that we actually know nothing about the other side right now, but I'm a little worried about the current situation, so I suddenly decided to go to their resettlement place and talk to them for a long time last night!"

“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?
And is it really necessary?
Even though they are targeting and provoking us, we will definitely not fight them now!"

The battalion commander's current thinking is actually the same as that of many cadres in the southern army.

Everyone knew about the situation through the newspapers.

We have a real enemy right now!
Because of that powerful enemy, not only were some of the South's own Class A divisions transferred to the North, but even some of the elite cadres in the South's Class B units were transferred away.

In this situation, even if the guy opposite us in the south provokes us now, we can only endure it. Even if the other party really takes the initiative to attack, everyone speculates that it is definitely in response to the war in the north.

But if that happens, our focus will definitely still be on the north.

As for the south?

It is definitely the right policy for national defense.

Therefore, he thought it was unnecessary to make a situation map of the other side's territory.

Because everyone felt that it was impossible for us to take the initiative to attack the other side.

"It's better to be prepared. If it doesn't work, I'll just waste a night, but if it does, it could significantly reduce our casualties!" The instructor rubbed his temple and smiled, "Our ancestors said, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle!"

"Okay! You're right, but you should go to sleep now!"

"Well, smoke this cigarette and go!"

As a new recruit, Chu An had no way of knowing what was happening in the battalion headquarters.

Right now, Chu An is fighting with his quilt in the dormitory.

Although my eyes were dull from the damn massage before, the effect of this massage was indeed immediate.

Although my legs are still sore, it is now tolerable.

However, the physical pain was bearable, but the disobedience of the quilt he had been wrapped up in to sleep all night was a headache for him.

There is no water and no hot water.

When you sleep in a curled-up position, the creases created are difficult to remove.

"Deputy monitor, I'm fine!"

Suddenly, a soft sound was heard in the dormitory.

Chu An looked over and saw that it was Dong Fang's voice.

"Okay, I'll come!"

Chu An responded.

Just before lying down again, Lao Wang assigned Chu An another task.

Inspect other people's quilts.

Only those that have been approved by him can stop.

And now, it’s less than twenty minutes before I wake up.

To be honest, Chu An didn't believe he was healed, but there was nothing he could do. Since they had called him, he had to go and take a look. With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, he got off the bed.

After putting on his shoes, Chu An came to the opposite side.

Dong Fang was sleeping on the upper bunk next to him, and Qiu Wei was sleeping below him.

At this moment, Chu An walked to the bed and was speechless just by looking at his quilt.

"Who told you that this is the best quilt?"

Chu An really felt too exhausted to complain.

Damn it.

Doesn't he know that it's difficult for him to get up now?
This quilt, is it a block of tofu?
The steamed buns are pretty good!

"Isn't it possible? We did this before?"

"." Chu An was speechless.

But in a flash, Chu An roughly guessed what was going on.

Everyone's quilt-folding skills were taught by veterans before the classes were divided.

But whether the veterans are responsible or not depends on each individual.

Because at that time, these new recruits were not considered the veterans' own soldiers.

It's useless to teach.

Because of this, some people only teach you, and after teaching you, they are too lazy to judge how well you fold it.

Moreover, some people arrived the day before the class was divided and had not folded their quilts many times.

"No, it has to be sharp-edged, like a tofu block. You saw the monitor's quilt yesterday. It has to be folded like that!"

"Ah! How is that possible? Our former veteran squad leader even said that they were old quilts, folded like that because they had been pressed tightly over the years. We just need to do our best!"

Chu An was speechless for a moment, and in his heart he cursed the irresponsible veteran.

It's such a rip-off!

"Then try harder to fix it. This won't work. Or you can take a look at mine. My quilt isn't folded as well as the squad leader's, but it can serve as a reference. You have to at least fold it like mine to barely pass!"

"Alright! Let me see!"

Dong Fang was quite obedient and stood up and prepared to get out of bed while he was talking.

Chu An took two steps back and walked back to his bed first.

But at this moment, a suppressed exclamation appeared in front of Chu An.

"Wow, deputy monitor, how did you fold the quilt so well? It's amazing!"

He Weimin, who was on the upper bunk of Chu An, was the first to stick his head out.

Someone in the dormitory made a report, and everyone actually stopped and watched.

Although visibility in the dormitory is limited because the lights are not on, you can still see what is happening below by listening to the sounds or looking out from the upper bunk.

Looking at He Weimin who was exclaiming in front of him, Chu An said with a smile: "Be careful when pressing, didn't you also use a small stool?
Be more patient and try to squeeze out all the air in the cotton.

Chu An was not stingy with his experience. After all, he learned all these from Lao Wang, but he just summarized some practical skills on his own.

"I fold it very slowly too! And I also repaired it, but you just look at me!" He Weimin looked helpless.

Chu An took a look.

Well, it’s about the same as Dong Fang’s.

"Damn, I didn't even notice, deputy squad leader, how did you become like this?
Look at me, these edges of my quilt just won't obey me, I almost spit on them to fix them!"

At this time, Qiu Wei, who was in the lower bunk next to him, also stood up and came over.

Before, everyone basically folded their own.

Lao Wang told him not to make any noise to disturb his sleep, and the light was dim before, so no one noticed how different the quilt Chu An folded was from theirs.

But now, with He Weimin's shouting and Qiu Wei approaching, the others couldn't help themselves anymore.

They all quietly got out of bed and gathered around.

"Really? Deputy monitor, the corners of your quilt are so well folded! Please share your experience with us!"

"That's amazing! No wonder the monitor made you the deputy monitor!"

At this moment, the new recruits surrounding Chu An's bed did not notice that Lao Wang's eyes on the bed behind them were slightly opened.

But after a moment, his eyelids closed again, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
