War Military: From 1978

Chapter 47 Do you want to serve in the regiment?

"The sunset is red and the clouds are flying over the western mountains.
Soldiers are going back to camp after target practice. Return to camp."

The loud singing spread far away from the path along the river.

At this moment, if Chu An and others were holding guns instead of washbasins and dirty clothes, the song they were singing would be extremely appropriate.

The sky in the west was filled with red clouds, and they were on their way back to camp.

Unfortunately, it has been half a month since they entered the camp, and to this day, Chu An and his men have never touched a gun.

The only way to see it is from the veterans' post at the door.

"Chu An, come out!"

In Class 4, after Chu An returned to the dormitory, he prepared to take the washbasin to wash clothes first.

But suddenly, Tong Lianzhong appeared at the door.

Chu An looked at Lao Wang!

"Why are you looking at me? The company commander is calling you, go!"

"Yes!" Chu An saluted with a smile.

After more than ten days of training, not only Chu An, but all the recruits have obviously undergone a change.

A temperament unique to soldiers has gradually developed.

Walking out quickly, Chu An smiled and saluted again to greet: "Company Commander!"

"Well, come with me!"

Tong Lianzhong looked relaxed, with a hint of a smile on his face.

Although Chu An didn't understand why he suddenly came to find him, he didn't think much about it and followed him.

Walk directly from the dormitory building to the playground on one side.

It's very quiet here now.

Because of the re-examination tomorrow, the evening physical training time for the entire camp has been cancelled today.

Across the runway, not far away is the training ground for single and double bars.

After Tong Lianzhong walked over, he pushed himself up with his hands and sat on the parallel bars.

He took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Wow~" After the match was struck and the cigarette was lit, he looked at Chu An: "Come up!"

"Company commander, I'll just stand down there!" Chu An declined with a smile.

After following him all the way, Chu An couldn't help but wonder why he was looking for him.
Although during this period, the instructor would talk to the new recruits every day, one by one.

But the company commander never did this.

It was also the first time that Chu An was called out by him alone.

"Alright!" Tong Lianzhong nodded. After puffing out another puff of cigarette, he looked at Chu An and said, "You've been a soldier for so many days now. Are you adapting well?"

"Thank you, Captain. I feel fine!"

"Aren't you tired?"

“Tired, but also fulfilling!”

In fact, Chu An is a little annoyed with his current life. Every day's training is the same as military posture, standing position, and pace, and there is nothing new.

The key is that he learns these things really quickly, and basically there are no problems after one or two times.

But no matter how quickly he learned or how accurate his movements were, the army was ultimately a collective unit. So now that Tong Lianzhong was asking him, he couldn't really tell the truth.

"Haha, that's right. We soldiers are all about fulfillment. Whether it's now or in the future, there are endless things to do every day!"

Tong Lianzhong smiled, but suddenly, he changed the subject: "Do you want to join the regiment headquarters?"

"what?"

Chu An was stunned.

What is this and what?
Is the chat span so long?
Tong Lianzhong stopped smoking and stared at Chu An again, asking, "I say, do you want to join the regiment?"

"This..." Chu Anshi scratched his head stupidly: "I... I haven't thought about this question!"

This is the truth, it’s still early for the recruit training to end.

Less than half a month had passed in the past three months, so it was too early to talk about his future. Moreover, Lao Wang had told Chu An that he would take him back to his company in the future.

In this situation, Chu An didn't think of anything else.

After all, there was no point in thinking about it. The squad leader wanted to take him away, and he seemed to have no choice.

Tong Lianzhong withdrew his gaze, glanced at the rosy clouds in the sky, turned back and exhaled another puff of cigarette before slowly speaking: "If nothing unexpected happens, the Police Communications Company will come to select someone after this re-inspection is over!"

"Police Communications?" Chu An asked doubtfully.

It was the first time he heard the name of this company.

"Yes!" Tong Lianzhong nodded. "The regiment's direct police communications company is primarily responsible for the regiment's security, guards, patrols, communications, and official duties. Oh, and internal patrols are also in this company!"

Chu An looked at him blankly.

In my heart, I instantly felt resistance.

What is this!

Aren’t guards just people who stand guard at the gate?
Patrol is a mobile post, and as for communications, it is a messenger, and then there is official business.
It sounds good and classy, but Chu An knows that it is actually the same as the duty platoon leader of the recruit company calling out a errand.

But that was a full-time official business, a logistics soldier for the regimental cadres.

As for the last one, Chu An didn’t want to say anything!

Patrol!
Chu An, who had never been a soldier in his previous life, was familiar with the name of this branch of the military.

What about early retirement? After retirement, they dare not say that they have done patrol work.

If you say online that you are a patrol officer, other veterans will immediately invite you out for drinks and dinner.

Simply put, Chu An immediately decided that this company was one that he should not go to.

At that moment, Tong Lianzhong also smiled and asked again: "Do you want to go now?"

After that, without waiting for Chu An to speak, he said again: "In fact, the Police Communications Company is also a good place.

Government agencies are close to the leaders. If you feel the pressure of taking the entrance exam is too great, you might be able to gain their appreciation with your intelligence and talent and be promoted directly!"

Chu An raised his head and looked at him sideways.

What is this?
A method of provoking generals?

What does it mean to feel pressured by taking exams, but to be directly promoted if appreciated by the superiors?
This means that after you go there, you should flatter the leader more. If one day you can touch his heart, you might get promoted.

Is he this kind of person?

"Commander, I'm not going!"

Regardless of whether he was trying to provoke him or not, Chu An chose to answer according to his wishes.

Although Chu An was afraid of death, if he really went to this company, regardless of whether he would be promoted or not, he would definitely stay with the regiment headquarters when he went to the battlefield in the future, so the safety factor should be higher.

But no matter how afraid you are of death, people still have to pursue other things besides death.

Since you have chosen to stay and serve as a soldier, and since you cannot avoid going to the battlefield, you will have to fight and make a name for yourself on the battlefield.

What’s the point of standing guard or doing odd jobs every day?
"Oh? You don't want to get promoted?"

"I think I can pass the college entrance examination or get promoted directly based on my ability."

After a pause, Chu An said boldly: "Unless I follow you, the company commander, you will suppress me and not give me the opportunity to take the exam or get promoted!"

"Haha, get out of here! Why should I suppress you?" Tong Lianzhong laughed.

After saying that, he threw the cigarette box in his left hand to Chu An!

"Light one too!"

Chu An took the cigarette box, but didn't actually take the cigarette. Instead, he looked at him in a bit of surprise.

"What are you looking at?" Tong Lianzhong laughed and said, "Don't say you can't do it. I could smell cigarette smoke on you when you came out of the bathroom that night!"

"."

Chu An was speechless.

He naturally remembered that he bought cigarettes for Lao Wang and then bought a pack of cigarettes for himself. He secretly hid in the toilet to smoke one at night, and when he went out, he met him who was in the toilet.

But he didn't say anything at that time, and Chu An thought he didn't know. Unexpectedly, he knew it all along, but just didn't say it at that time.
