The strongest production soldier, awarded first-class merit for feeding pigs.

"I'm applying to be transferred to the production squad. I hope the company commander and political instructor will agree."

When Chen Jun expressed his thoughts to the company commander and political instructor, they were stunned for a full three seconds, unable to believe that Chen Jun had taken the initiative to propose it.

They both knew better than anyone what kind of people worked in the production team.

It's like the two soldiers in the production squad of the Seventh Company. The squad leader was injured during training, his knee joint is ruined, and he can't run anymore. He was assigned to be a second-level sergeant by his superiors.

To put it bluntly, they were practically useless, kept in the production team until they reached the third level of discharge, after which they could be assigned a job.

This is related!

Another private first class has flat feet. In the 7th Company, a mobile unit focused on mobility, he is practically disabled. He would definitely drag down the team in the assessment and affect the company's overall assessment rating, so he can only stay in the production squad.

As for why someone with flat feet could enlist, that's not something the company commander can control.

Compared to the mess hall, which also requires semi-military training and company-level assessments, and is a place for veterans to recuperate, a veritable den of hidden talents.

The production team is a place where you can truly slack off; once you go there, you'll never be a top soldier again.

With such outstanding physical attributes, even a fool could see that with a little serious training, Chen Jun would definitely be a promising soldier.

Who knows, it might even bring honor to the company commander in the competitions at the regimental or divisional levels.

Such an outstanding prospective soldier, before the company had even started formal training, volunteered to go to the production team to slack off.

How could this not shock the company commander and political instructor?

The instructor had better mental control than the company commander. After a few seconds, he finally reacted and, instead of immediately scolding or reprimanding him, wanted to know the reason.

Why do you want to go to the production team? Do you even know what the production team does?

Faced with the instructor's two questions, Chen Jun couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The production team is definitely for feeding pigs. I don't want to go either, but the system is a bit of a rip-off. If I want to take off, I can only go to the production team."

Chen Jun couldn't say what was on his mind, otherwise he would definitely be seen as a lunatic who had read too many novels.

After racking his brains for a long time, Chen Jun finally managed to come up with a reason: "Company Commander, Political Instructor, you know my situation."

With my family being so wealthy, I'm destined not to stay in the military for long; I'll most likely only serve two years of compulsory service.

After I leave the military, I will definitely start my own business. Although I am not short of money, I also want to forge my own path and make a name for myself in the business world.

My first entrepreneurial project was pig farming, with the goal of becoming the largest pig farming tycoon in China.

To achieve this life goal, I want to experience and learn in the production workshop beforehand, laying a foundation for the future.

Chen Jun's reasoning is logically sound and seems plausible, but upon closer examination, there is an obvious flaw.

The company commander immediately seized on this loophole, frowning as he questioned, "If you just want to learn how to raise pigs, you don't need to come to the army at all. With the money you have, there are many places in society where you can learn."

And I believe those places will be more professional, more beneficial to you, and you'll see greater improvement.

Chen Jun's heart skipped a beat!

Opening a pig farm was just a temporary excuse; I never expected it to leave such a huge loophole. If I can't explain it clearly, my job in the production team is definitely ruined.

"What should we do?"

Chen Jun was in a hurry, so much so that he needed to urinate.

Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the company commander and political instructor, Chen Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet again and start with the positive aspects of the situation. He straightened his chest and said in a loud and clear voice, "Company commander, political instructor, I came to the army to train myself, not only my body, but also my will and my spirit."

I believe that the tempering of military life will comprehensively improve my mental outlook, enabling me to remain indomitable in the face of difficulties and setbacks.

For someone who wants to start a business, a strong will is essential.

So, I joined the army!

When he said those last five words, Chen Jun's tone was particularly impassioned, and with his determined gaze, he really did seem to be the one doing it.

The company commander and political instructor looked at each other, their eyes showing a hint of trust.

If someone else had said these words, the company commander and political instructor would not have believed a word of it and would have thought that they were trying to shirk their responsibilities and be lazy.

He simply couldn't handle the hardship of training and wanted to slack off in the production team for two years.

When Chen Jun said those words, the tone was different.

Chen Jun has a net worth of 800 million yuan, making him one of the wealthiest second-generation rich kids in the country. If he says he wants to start a business, then he really means it.

A super-rich second-generation heir who wanted to start his own business joined the army only to hone his willpower and spirit, complete his mandatory military service, and be able to continue his life better after leaving the army. Therefore, he wanted to go to the production team, which was more in line with his requirements.

If the whole thing is logically consistent, it constitutes a complete life plan.

If we had to nitpick...

That is, the entire plan revolves around itself, with the main focus on improving itself, without highlighting the greater national cause of serving the country and its people, which is somewhat selfish and self-serving.

But in this peaceful country, this flaw is not a flaw at all.

After all, more than 80 percent of people join the army for personal reasons, such as a dream of military service or for work.

The company commander and political instructor didn't say it, but they knew exactly what was going on.

The reason they applied to military academies was because the conditions there were good; students were provided with food and lodging and received a salary during their studies, and they wouldn't have to worry about finding a job after graduation.

For students from disadvantaged families, this is the most stable and best life plan.

Because when he first joined the army, he was also acting from his own self-interest, the company commander and political instructor could understand Chen Jun's thoughts.

but.

Understanding is one thing.

They were really reluctant to send Chen Jun, such an excellent soldier, to the production team to feed pigs and farm.

So for the next half hour, the two of them worked together to persuade Chen Jun.

They wanted to dissuade Chen Jun from going to the production team.

The company commander even offered a big incentive: if Chen Jun agreed to stay in the regular squad, he would become the deputy squad leader of the third squad.

A new recruit becoming a deputy squad leader is a first for the Seventh Company.

Imagine a group of veterans chasing after new recruits, calling them "squad leader"—it's an incredibly exciting sight.

If it weren't for the system, Chen Jun would have really been tempted to agree. However, with the system's allure before him, this temptation was simply not enough.

So Chen Jun stood firm in his opinion and argued with the two officers for half an hour.

The company commander simply couldn't persuade him otherwise.

The instructor had already talked himself hoarse.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, we respect your personal wishes. After the dinner tonight, you can move your things to the production team."

Although the company commander was still somewhat reluctant, he could only sigh and agree to the application when faced with Chen Jun's stubbornness.

"Thank you, Company Commander and Political Instructor. I can assure you that even if I go to the production team, I will not lose the spirit of our Seventh Company. I will work hard and endure hardship to make the Seventh Company's production team the strongest and best in the entire regiment, and even the entire army."

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Jun revealed his strongest goal.

"Okay, I'll be waiting, haha."

When the company commander heard that the production squad was the best in the entire army, he thought that this goal was not bad, and even had a bit more expectation. He couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy.
