Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 105 We only recognize your military uniform

The special training of Squadron A at the East China Sea Naval Base this year finally came to an end after the parachute jump.

After taking photos with the leaders and instructors at the base, everyone officially set off on their journey home. However, unlike the team that returned by transport plane, Chen Jiang bought a train ticket to the north.

Yuan Lang specifically informed him that he had received a call from the Army Command College and that he had to attend the final exam, otherwise it would affect his graduation and awarding of his rank!
This was a big deal. Deputy Captain Xiong from the base originally suggested sending a car to take Chen Jiang home, but Chen Jiang declined.

It is actually not far from the base to the Nanjing Army Command College. He can take the train there. If he has time, he would also like to visit Nanjing University. Although he only studied there for half a semester, his student status is still retained.

Seeing that Chen Jiang didn't want them to drive him, Deputy Captain Xiong asked Zhu Haikun to drive him to the train station. Chen Jiang couldn't refuse such a kind offer.

Along the way, Zhu Haikun no longer had the fierceness he had when he first trained them. Instead, he acted like an older brother, introducing them to the famous attractions nearby and mentioning the precautions for taking the train.

Although this was not Chen Jiang's first time riding a train and he had experienced high-speed trains in later generations, he did not feel impatient at all. Instead, he quietly felt the other party's kindness.

The train station is about an hour's drive from the base. Since Chen Jiang is a soldier, he can buy tickets through the green channel. The only regret is that the hard seat tickets to Nanjing are sold out.

Zhu Haikun strongly suggested that the base's car should be used to take them there, but in the end he couldn't persuade Chen Jiang, so he could only get a "no-seat" ticket.

He smiled awkwardly, "Although there's a green channel for military personnel now, making ticket purchases a bit more convenient, many tickets have been snatched up by those nasty scalpers. Plus, I'm buying a ticket for the day, so I have no choice but to make do."

Chen Jiang said there was no problem. He was a soldier, so what was this little difficulty?
Originally, Zhu Haikun wanted to see him off to the train, but Chen Jiang said that the train would still depart in more than an hour, so he let Zhu Haikun drive away first.

When Zhu Haikun left, although he hesitated several times to speak, he couldn't help but say to Chen Jiang, "Actually, it wasn't my intention to be mean to you."

Chen Jiang also understood that whether it was Team A or the "Sea Shark" Special Forces, the purpose of training was the same, which was to hone out a truly elite force, so it was understandable that they wanted to innovate in their methods.

After Zhu Haikun left, Chen Jiang found a corner in the waiting hall of the train station and sat down. Because he was wearing a military uniform, he didn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble for him.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he finally heard a sound in the waiting hall. The train he was about to board started checking tickets.

The waiting hall immediately became crowded. Chen Jiang saw many migrant workers heading north for work, carrying large and small bags and preparing to board the train. The cities heading to Nanjing were all economically developed, and the job remuneration was relatively high.

He slowly moved forward with the crowd, and finally it was his turn. He saw the ticket inspector quickly nailed a hole on the edge of his pink ticket, and the ticket inspection was completed.

After passing the ticket gate, Chen Jiang followed the crowd to the platform. Since this was the starting station, there would be more time to board the train.

His train ticket was for a hard seat with no seats available, so it was almost the same in the morning and evening. As a soldier, he couldn't possibly get on the train and fight with others for a seat, right?

Fortunately, the conductor waiting at the door saw that Chen Jiang was a soldier, so he led him to a carriage door on the side, which was a little more empty, allowing Chen Jiang to board the train smoothly.

After boarding the train, the aisle was incredibly crowded. The passengers who had finally squeezed in were desperately trying to stuff their luggage onto the luggage racks. Once the train started, carrying all those bags would be a hassle. Chen Jiang didn't have a seat anyway, so there was no need to look for a car. He glanced ahead and saw he couldn't move, so he might as well just stay where he was.

Most of the people standing in the aisle of this carriage have no seats, so they can only stand pitifully against the seats.

If someone gets off the train along the way and no one else buys a ticket to get on within the same section, you can get a seat. At this time, you will definitely be the coolest guy in the carriage!
Because Chen Jiang came up late, he didn't even have a place to put his salute.

The migrant workers at the connection of the carriages were relatively friendly. Seeing that Chen Jiang had no place to put his luggage, they politely moved their luggage to the side, leaving him a place to stay.

Chen Jiang smiled and expressed his gratitude, but he didn't expect them to wave their hands hurriedly.

"Brother, please don't be polite to us poor people. You are the people's soldiers, and we have all received great kindness from you!"

Seeing Chen Jiang's puzzled expression,
The older migrant worker leading the group explained, "We're all from Jiujiang, Jiangxi. When the flood hit, our hometown was suddenly flooded. We didn't have time to evacuate and were trapped on the roof. We thought we were doomed, but thanks to you for risking your lives to rescue us."

"Yes, we all still remember the scene back then."

Although these people are not well educated, their gratitude is beyond words.

"Brother, I'm really embarrassed. At that time, I hadn't joined the army yet and was still studying." Chen Jiang told the truth that he did not catch up with the flood fighting battle.

"It's okay, it's okay," the migrant worker said with a smile. "We only recognize your military uniform. Anyone wearing this uniform is a soldier of the people, right?"

Chen Jiang was deeply moved. People in many places looked down on migrant workers, but in fact it was they who took on the hardest and most tiring work in building the city. Compared with some vicious "civilized people", they were much more simple and kind.

"Come on, come on, beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge. Come on, close your legs!"

A few people were chatting when a small cart suddenly appeared from behind them. The waiter pushing the cart was obviously older and a bit wealthy.

While pushing the cart, he shouted at the migrant workers with some contempt,
"Get out of the way, you're blocking the road!"

"Hey girl, it's so crowded up there, how can we push this car through?"

"That's right. There's no way to buy it even if you push it to me."

The waitress snorted coldly, "My cart has to have a path through the aisle! And this is my job. If I don't push it through, my boss will scold me! And my salary will be deducted!"

After saying that, it started to rush towards the gap between the people. The people next to it could only try their best to move to the side in order to give it a "way to survive".
