You've already received a first-class merit award, why are you pretending to be a new recruit a

Lei Zhan took the document, glanced at only two lines, and his face darkened.

Liu Hai was still sitting by the track, holding his water bottle in his arms, his legs still not recovered.

Chen Jingxing muttered in a low voice:

"Are they going to run away again?"

Li Lei glanced at him.

"Shut up."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hai's face turned even paler.

Lei Zhan closed the file.

"All company assembled!"

The nine classes immediately lined up.

Having just run three kilometers, the recruits' legs were still trembling, but no one dared to slow down.

Lei Zhan stood at the front of the group, his voice very low.

"Battalion headquarters has issued a notice that a surprise inspection of military appearance and discipline will be conducted at 9:00 AM."

The group immediately fell silent.

The words "surprise inspection" are more intimidating than extra training.

Even if you can't run anymore, you can still grit your teeth and persevere.

The military appearance and discipline are different.

The brim of the hat is crooked, points are deducted.

Exposed shoelaces, points deducted.

Uneven bed, points deducted.

Even an extra half-loose thread in the cabinet can be pulled out.

Lei Zhan continued reading:

"The inspection team was led by the battalion's discipline squad leader."

Chen Jingxing couldn't help but mutter a sentence in a low voice:

"Discipline? That name is perfect for a military police officer!"

Wang Dashan turned his head.

"Chen Jingxing!"

"arrive!"

"If you keep joking about other people's names, I'll let you experience the discipline first."

Chen Jingxing immediately stood up straight.

"Reporting to the squad leader, this is a sign of respect, a genuine expression of respect."

On the other side of Class Two, Sun Ming's shoulder twitched.

Chen Fei turned his head to look at him.

"Would you like to show some respect too?"

Sun Ming immediately stopped.

"In no mood."

Lei Zhan ignored these minor disturbances.

"Each class should take the items back for self-inspection. Assemble on the playground at 9:00 AM sharp."

"Anyone who embarrasses the recruit company will have a bad day."

"yes!"

As soon as the command was given, several squad leaders turned around at the same time.

Wang Dashan grabbed the notebook.

"Class One, bring them back!"

~

Back in the dormitory, Wang Dashan slammed the door shut behind him, and the atmosphere inside immediately became tense.

He put his hat on the table and pointed at the whole class.

"Listen carefully, this is not a regular inspection, it's a military inspection by the battalion headquarters."

"You've just heard the name 'Discipline,' and the person is pretty much the same."

Chen Jingxing added in a low voice:

"His parents really know how to name him."

Wang Dashan kicked the bed leg.

Chen Jingxing immediately shut up.

Wang Dashan started the project.

"Button up the top button of the collar."

"The cuffs should be the same height on both sides."

"The brim of the hat, with the cap badge in the center."

"Shoelaces must not be visible at the end."

"Fix the belt buckle properly."

"Trim your nails neatly."

"The bed, the closet, the water cup, the towels, the shoes under the bed—they might all be checked."

Chen Jingxing was already numb after hearing half of it.

"Squad leader, is he checking people up or dismantling them?"

Wang Dashan looked at him.

"If he really wanted to tear it down, you would have already broken up by now."

Liu Hai stood by the bed, unsure of what to do with his hands.

"Class monitor, are you checking the lockers too?"

"check."

"Then...then my socks..."

Wang Dashan's face darkened.

"What happened to your socks?"

The sound of bangs is even softer.

"I washed it yesterday, but it wasn't dry, so I stuffed it behind the basin."

The whole class turned to look at him.

Chen Jingxing gasped.

"Dude, you're just giving away points."

Wang Dashan roared:

"What are you waiting for? Take it out! Fold it neatly, don't just stuff it in!"

Liu Hai quickly went under the bed to rummage through the basin.

Li Lei had already taken out a small wooden ruler and squatted down by the bed to measure the edge of the quilt.

He was a man of few words, but quick with his hands.

Xiao Longteng stood in front of his bed and first went over his personal equipment from top to bottom.

Hat, collar, cuffs, belt, shoelaces, trouser hems—not a single item was missing.

After he finished, he turned around and looked at the whole class.

"Start with Chen Jingxing, stand in a row."

Chen Jingxing was stunned.

"Now?"

Wang Dashan glanced at Xiao Longteng but didn't stop him.

"Listen to him."

Chen Jingxing quickly stepped forward.

Liu Hai also stood to the side, frantically buttoning his collar.

Xiao Longteng walked up to Chen Jingxing.

Let's look at the hat first.

"The cap badge is off to the right."

Chen Jingxing quickly reached out his hand.

"Don't try to bend it, or the hat will deform."

Xiao Longteng raised his hand, flattened the brim of his hat, and pushed his finger along the lower edge of the cap badge.

"OK."

Next is the neckline.

"Fasten it tight."

"Strangling by the neck."

"Relax only after the check is complete."

Chen Jingxing buttoned it up with a bitter face.

Xiao Longteng lowered his head.

"shoelace."

Chen Jingxing looked and saw that half of the tail end was sticking out.

"I just tied it."

"The tail end is pressed inward, and the lengths on both sides are the same."

Chen Jingxing followed his instructions, but the more he did it, the more chaotic it became.

Xiao Longteng squatted down, untied the shoelaces and re-pressed them, and in less than ten seconds, he was standing up.

Chen Jingxing looked down at his shoes.

"Brother Xiao, with your hand speed, it's a shame you're not repairing bicycles."

Xiao Longteng looked behind him.

"Next."

Li Lei took the initiative to step forward.

Xiao Longteng only scanned it once.

"The belt buckle is half a finger off."

Li Lei lowered his head to adjust.

"The left cuff is higher."

Li Lei revised it again.

The third person in line had bangs, and her whole body looked very tense.

Xiao Longteng stood in front of him, but didn't rush to make a move.

"Look it up yourself."

Liu Hai quickly touched himself from head to toe.

帽子。

Neckline.

cuff.

belt.

shoelace.

He stopped when he checked the shoelaces.

"Shoes, shoelace ends..."

"deal with."

Liu Hai squatted down, his hands trembling slightly.

It went in the first time, then came out again.

The second time it was pressed in, the lengths were uneven.

Chen Jingxing was anxious to reach out, but Li Lei stopped him.

Xiao Longteng waited until he finished before squatting down.

Look here.

He pressed the ends of his shoelaces inwards into the edge of his boot tongue, then covered a small section with his trouser leg.

"Even if you take a few steps, you can't get out."

Liu Hai nodded vigorously.

"Let's do it one more time."

I took my bangs off and tied them back up.

This time it's better.

Xiao Longteng did not praise.

"Practice some more near the passing mark."

Wang Dashan stood at the door without saying a word.

He was originally worried that Xiao Longteng would turn Class 1 into his own class again.

Looking at it now, the anger in my heart has slowly subsided.

This kid didn't steal the password, nor did he do everything for others.

Point out the problems and let people fix them themselves.

It's more effective than yelling at the top of your lungs for ten minutes.

Chen Jingxing suddenly raised his hand.

"Squad leader, I have a question."

Wang Dashan was annoyed.

"speak."

"If the disciplinary squad leader is called 'discipline,' then if he gets married, is his wife called 'moral character'?"

Someone in the dormitory couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Hai panicked, and half of the shoelace he had just pressed down popped out again.

Xiao Longteng glanced down.

Liu Hai's face immediately turned ugly.

Wang Dashan walked straight towards Chen Jing.

"If you get points deducted today, I'll rename your name 'Lesson'."

Chen Jingxing immediately fell silent.

"Class monitor, this name doesn't sound good. I'll try my best to keep my original name."

~

Class 2 dormitory.

Chen Fei stood at the door, listening to the news Sun Ming brought back from the corridor.

"Class One is pretty quick?"

Sun Ming nodded.

"Quick, really quick. Squad Leader Wang barely had time to scold them. Xiao Longteng checked each one, and he got it right every time."

Chen Fei straightened his hat and pressed down the brim.

"What did he figure out?"

"The cap badge is crooked, the belt buckle is bent, the shoelaces are at the end, the backpack strap has a loose thread... basically, they're all quite thin."

Sun Ming thought for a moment, then added:

"I feel like he's more observant than a military policeman."

Chen Fei looked at him.

"Don't say things like that later."

"clear."

Chen Fei picked up the inspection book.

"The inspection starts at nine o'clock. It's not certain which class will be checked first for discipline. If Class One really needs him to keep things stable, Old Wang will really shine today."

Sun Ming chuckled.

"Squad leader, don't you want him to get some exposure?"

Chen Fei slapped the notebook onto his chest.

"I wanted to prevent you from losing points; the thread on your pants is showing."

Sun Ming looked down and quickly stuffed it inside.

Chen Fei did not speak again.

Good formation, good housekeeping, and proper equipment handling—they've even become this meticulous about military discipline these days.

Can a logistics support brigade really train soldiers like this?

He wrote two words in the notebook.

detail.

~

Nine o'clock sharp.

The entire company assembled on the parade ground.

The battalion inspection team came from the direction of the office building.

The leader was short, with the rank of sergeant on his shoulder and an inspection form in his hand.

The training uniform was neatly pressed, the hood brim was pulled straight, and the collar was buttoned up to the top.

Chen Jingxing stood in the queue, his voice very low.

"Is this what discipline is?"

Li Lei reminded him in a low voice.

"Don't speak."

Chen Jingxing quickly shut up.

Discipline led two military police officers to Lei Zhan and saluted.

"Reporting to the company commander, the battalion's disciplinary squad has been ordered to conduct a military appearance and discipline inspection."

Lei Zhan returned the gift.

"start."

Discipline is no joke.

"Class 3".

Zhao Hai led the team out of the ranks.

The new recruits in the third platoon were all on edge.

Discipline came to the first place and flipped through the checklist.

"The brim of the hat is too low, deduct one point."

Before the new recruit could react, Discipline had already moved to the second one.

"The cuffs are not evenly spaced, deduct one point."

The third.

"Exposed shoelace ends, deduct one point."

Li Qiang stood in the middle of the third shift, sweat beading on his forehead.

Discipline stopped in front of him and inspected him from top to bottom.

"Has the wound on the back of your hand been treated?"

Li Qiang stands at attention.

"Report: It has been processed."

"The gauze wasn't pressed flat, deduct half a point. Training injuries are acceptable, but military appearance cannot be compromised."

Li Qiang gritted his teeth.

"Yes."

After the third shift finished checking, Zhao Hai didn't say anything, only noted down the points deducted.

Class Two takes the stage.

Chen Fei had clearly put in the effort beforehand, and he passed the top few places.

When it was Sun Ming's turn, he stood very stiffly.

I glanced at the discipline for two seconds.

"nail."

Sun Ming felt a chill in his heart and reached out his hand.

Discipline glanced at it.

"The edge of your right index finger wasn't trimmed neatly, deduct half a point."

Sun Ming almost burst into tears.

He clearly cut his hair last night.

Chen Fei stood to the side, his face expressionless, but his pen made a heavy tap on the notebook.

Discipline continues.

Class Two didn't lose many points overall, but every single one was painful.

Finally, it was Class One's turn.

Wang Dashan led the team out.

"Class One, prepare for inspection!"

Discipline walked up to Li Lei, who was in first place.

Li Lei stood very steadily, his hands pressed against the seams of his trousers.

He checked the hat, collar, cuffs, belt, and shoe uppers one by one, observing all the discipline requirements.

"pass."

Li Lei didn't move.

The second Chen Jingxing.

Chen Jingxing was initially quite steady.

The discipline check had just reached the cuffs when he twitched his finger.

Wang Dashan stood to the side and his face immediately darkened.

Chen Jingxing forcefully pressed his hand down, his neck turning red.

Discipline glanced at him.

"nervous?"

Chen Jingxing, stand at attention.

"Report, there is a little bit."

"Don't move around if you're nervous."

"Yes."

Discipline is evident in his lowered head as he looks down at his shoelaces.

Chen Jingxing held his breath.

"pass."

Chen Jingxing almost came back to life.

He dared not make a sound, only glancing at Xiao Longteng out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Dashan snorted but didn't curse.

Discipline continues.

Liu Hai is at the back of the line; it hasn't been her turn yet.

Xiao Longteng stood in the middle section.

Discipline walked up to him and stopped.

The checklist was tucked under his left arm, and his right hand started from the brim of his hat.

The brim of the hat is straight.

The cap badge is straight.

Button up the collar.

The epaulettes are neat and even.

The cuffs are aligned on both sides.

The belt buckle is pressed in the center.

The trouser crease is smooth.

The shoe surface is clean.

Press the ends of the shoelaces tightly.

Discipline remained silent.

He picked up the checklist and glanced at the name column.

"Xiao Longteng?"

"arrive."

"Re-enlistment?"

"Yes."

Discipline did not pursue the matter further, and moved behind him.

The back of the collar.

Rear waistline.

Trouser hem.

Shoe heels.

Everything is fine.

The two inspectors also looked through it, but no one wrote anything down.

The other recruits were all waiting for that point deduction.

But the rules were never mentioned.

Chen Fei stood in front of Class Two and could see it very clearly.

This is not the standard good.

There's really nothing wrong with this.

Sun Ming spoke in a low voice from behind:

"The squad leader is even more observant than the military police."

Chen Fei did not turn around.

"Shut up and watch."

Discipline circled back to Xiao Longteng's front and paused for two seconds.

"pass."

As soon as those two words were spoken, Class One breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Dashan did not give in.

He knew that the less disciplinary points Xiao Longteng could get deducted, the more detailed the investigation would be later.

There was no praise for the discipline, nor were there any further questions.

He moved on to the next person.

When turning the page of the checklist, Xiao Longteng's column was empty.

No points deducted.

No notes.

The pen of discipline hovered above the paper, but ultimately did not fall.

He looked up and turned to Liu Hai.

"Next one."
