War Military: From 1978

Chapter 50 Qiu Wei is numb!
Standing on the left side of the queue, Chu An was now feeling nervous.

He really wanted to get through it like this.

But to his disappointment, the cadre opened the folder, took a look, and then looked up at everyone in Class 4: "Who among you is Chu An?"

This time, Chu An was completely numb.

Why is there a name?
It's over!
But just as Chu An was looking at Lao Wang, trying to tell from his face what to do next, a voice suddenly rang out from the queue: "Reporting to the commander, it's me! It's me!"

Li Guoping raised his hand!
Chu An was stunned, and then deeply moved.

Good brother, good comrade!

"Why didn't you raise your hand just now? Doesn't the registration information show that you graduated from high school?"

"I..." Li Guoping panicked for a moment, but the next second, he suddenly had an idea and spoke: "I also don't have good grades. My family forced me to go to high school, and I didn't learn anything. I was afraid that you would ask me to take the exam, so... so I didn't raise my hand!"

His words left the cadre in front of him speechless.

Do you believe it?

He believed it because the roster they copied only contained the recruits' education level, age, name and place of origin.

Although they copied all this from the recruits' information, it didn't mention that they were only four points away from the college entrance examination score.

Moreover, he believed that a person would not deliberately belittle his own knowledge.

So he immediately withdrew his gaze from Li Guoping.

He glanced at Chu An again, and then his gaze fell directly on Qiu Wei: "What's your name?"

"Report to the commander, my name is Qiu Wei!"

Qiu Wei's voice was obviously lacking in confidence at this time.

He was also a little panicked.

What's the situation?
Why did the class vice-chairman deliberately talk nonsense?
Li Guoping also admitted that his name was Chu An.

My mind is a little confused.

What tricks are they playing that I don’t know about? Am I still a part of Class 4?
"Okay, you stay for now!"

"what!"

Qiu Wei was obviously shocked.

He hurriedly looked at Lao Wang, but Lao Wang looked at him expressionlessly and said, "What?! The commander has taken a liking to you and has chosen you to go directly to the regiment headquarters company. You don't have to stay in the recruit company for training anymore!"

"No, not yet!" the official in front of him said, "He's just a candidate. I might send him back depending on how things go!"

The cadre looked at Lao Wang and spoke.

This prompted Lao Wang to walk directly in front of Qiu Wei and say, "Did you hear that? If you want to go to the regiment headquarters, you better behave now and be flexible!"

After that, he whispered something only the two of them could hear: "Don't talk nonsense!"

For a moment, Qiu Wei was a little confused.

What is this and what?
Wouldn’t it be better to go to the regiment headquarters company?
Why is Chu An like this, and why is the squad leader also helping to cover for him?

He couldn't figure it out, but now no one could explain it to him.

At the signal of the cadre in front of him, he left the fourth squad, and then Lao Wang led the other members of the fourth squad to continue along this road back towards the recruit camp.

At this moment, Chu An didn't dare to look back, and was even more worried that his name would be called again from behind.

But it turned out that he thought too much.

They are selecting soldiers, not a talent show.

It is obviously not enough for him to just rely on his face to get by.

"Deputy monitor!"

After walking a few hundred meters, He Weimin behind Chu An whispered something, but before Chu An could answer, Lao Wang in front turned around and said, "Shut up!"

After glaring at He Weimin, he turned around and continued to lead the people from Class 4 back.

In fact, Lao Wang now wants to go back and report the news.

But this road is the only road from the regiment headquarters to the recruit barracks. Now after turning the corner, you can see the recruit barracks directly in front.

In other words, he is still within the sight of those people behind him.

If he wanted to avoid them, he could only go back to the recruit camp first, then go around the mountain from the other side of the recruit camp and cross the rugged mountain. This was obviously a bit unrealistic, because by the time he climbed the mountain to the clinic, the company commander and his men would probably have finished their work.

So, he is a little helpless now.

Slowly walked back to the camp and entered the gate.

As soon as he entered, Chu An saw some veteran squad leaders waiting on the side.

They are peeking.

Not only veterans, but also deputy company commanders and instructors from two companies.

"Hey, Lao Wang, what's going on? Why didn't your deputy stay, but someone else stayed instead?"

As soon as Class 4 came in, they were immediately surrounded by these people.

"They just chose him!" Lao Wang said calmly.

"strangeness!"

"Yeah! We thought you'd definitely be the class vice president, but I didn't expect you to come back!"

The veteran squad leaders were all amazed. Even the instructor came over to look at Chu An and said, "Wang Qinghe, what's the situation?"

Chu An is no longer as inconspicuous as he was when he first joined the camp.

He was the first recruit in the entire battalion to become a deputy squad leader, and he graduated from high school at the age of seventeen. The instructor knew that Chu An was only four points away from going to college.

The key is that Chu An is tall enough and has a good image. Moreover, during training, Chu An can occasionally run three kilometers within eleven minutes.

The police communications company didn't want this kind of recruit? Instead, they chose a less impressive soldier. He was very curious now.

"Hehe~" Lao Wang laughed and said to the instructor, "Yesterday we reminded Chu An that the Police Communications Company might select candidates after a re-examination. He himself didn't want to go, so after seeing this situation just now, Chu An was very smart. He bent his legs and lowered his height a little!"

"Haha!" The instructor also laughed and looked at Chu An: "Not bad, quite clever!"

"Thank you, instructor!"

"Yes!" The instructor nodded. "It doesn't matter if you don't go. Gold will shine wherever it is. Stick to your choice!"

"Yes!" Chu An saluted.

"Well, let's go!"

At that moment, Lao Wang also spoke up: "Deputy, take them back to fold the quilts, and you supervise them!"

"Yes!"

Chu An responded. Although he also wanted to stay here and watch the fun, it was obviously unrealistic.

All the people here were the cadres left in the camp by the veteran squad leaders who had returned earlier. There were no new recruits to be seen. Obviously, they had all been sent back by the squad leaders.

"Deputy, why don't you want to go?"

"Yeah! You even said my name! I was so scared at the time, I was stunned!"

While walking in the camp, the formation of Class 4 was dispersed as soon as they were out of the sight of the squad leader and others behind them.

They came up one after another to ask questions, especially Li Guoping, who still looked frightened.

Chu An explained with a smile: "It's nothing, didn't you hear it? That's the police communications company. They are directly under the regiment headquarters and are responsible for protecting the safety of the regiment headquarters. They need to stand guard frequently. I don't want to go!"

"Ah! That's it!"

"That's bad for Qiu Wei!"

After hearing Chu An's explanation, everyone suddenly felt sympathy for Qiu Wei.

No one wants to do this job of standing guard every day.

But Chu An said: "It's okay, if he really stays, he shouldn't be going to the guard platoon. The guard platoon needs tall people. He should be going to the public service class!"

"What is the official service class?" Li Guoping asked as soon as Chu An finished speaking.

Chu An immediately explained it to them.

Now, no one said that Qiu Wei was pitiful.

After all, no one likes to stand guard every day, but not having to stand guard and being able to meet big shots like the regiment commander every day, which they have never seen before, is a rare opportunity in the eyes of most recruits who are simple-minded and want to stay in the army to develop.
