Chapter 397: Reactions to the Conscription
Therefore, although this conscription was hasty, it was actually an opportunity for everyone.
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Hey, the military is going to recruit soldiers early, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I applied!"
"But...we're not particularly outstanding students. Can we succeed in the application?"
"I don't know, let's try it."
"So which one is better?"
The students interpreted the answer to this question through their actions.
The school of Leicester itself has close ties with Wen Tenghui and Nie Yuning.
Therefore, most students are actively applying for the 72nd Army and the 17th Army, and everyone is proud to be able to go to the more core bases of the two armies.
At this time, the advantage of foundation is revealed.
Those who are particularly outstanding are not worried, and those who have family elders in the military are not worried either. The rest of the people started running around, and everyone wanted to apply for the unit they aspired to.
Before conscription began, a quarter of the students had already secured their destinations.
Or rather, they thought they had agreed on a destination...
Liu Yueban looked at the classmates coming and going every day and felt a little bored. He let out a long sigh: "Is it really that serious?"
Lin Fancheng said, "Of course. This is the starting point. When there's a better starting point, can you not strive for it?"
Mo Mo sat on the wall of the flower bed, legs crossed, and continued, "Then why don't you move?"
Lin Fancheng: "Didn't you see that Boss Yun didn't move? I think they're working in vain."
Liu Yueban looked at him sideways and said with a sigh, "You quite understand."
Lin Fancheng: ...
Mo Mo suddenly said, "We should be considered to have military merit, right? This time, plus the time with Sana Xing, will we still have a military rank when we join the army?"
Liu Yue touched his belly and found that his clothes were empty. The exercise was effective and he felt quite accomplished.
He pondered and said, "Yunmo can probably start as a major, and the rest of us... can at least become lieutenants."
Lin Fancheng was a little surprised: "Ah? Isn't Lieutenant Qiao just a lieutenant?"
He was referring to Qiao Xiaoqi, a lieutenant of the Cheetah Special Forces.
Liu Yueban explained: "She started out as a soldier. Why do you think so many people are scrambling to get into the University of Leicester?"
"Normal graduates like us usually get the rank of second lieutenant, a position at the level of deputy company commander. Of course, we may not have a real job, but the starting line is there. With our accumulated military merits, I imagine we can at least get a higher rank."
"Besides, can a lieutenant in Cheetah be the same as a lieutenant anywhere else?"
Lin Fancheng was quite satisfied with the result. After laughing for a while, he suddenly asked, "Where is Mr. Huo?"
Mo Mo said, "Go home and recuperate."
Huo Chuan really returned home, but his external injuries were no longer visible.
People like him would cry out for a long time if they just scratched their hands.
It’s hard to imagine that he suffered so much pain but was able to keep it in silence, let alone tell his family.
Huo Zhehan couldn't help feeling a little proud as he looked at his increasingly mature and steady son.
He sat down on the chair opposite Huo Chuan and asked in a friendly manner for the first time: "How is school lately?"
Huo Chuan was playing with his laptop and responded reluctantly, "Not bad!"
Huo Zhehan pondered for a moment and then said, "I heard that the military will recruit soldiers in advance?"
"Yeah," although Huo Chuan was impatient, he still responded.
Huo Zhehan breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, your family has already made arrangements. You can continue your studies. After you graduate, you'll be like your two brothers..."
Seeing his son's gradually calming temperament, Huo Zhehan was extremely relieved.
Originally, I had no intention of letting him join the army. I just wanted the military academy to grind down his arrogance and spoiled temper.
Now it seems that the effect is really good.
My son's irritability seems to have faded a lot, and he's becoming more and more like his younger self. Haha!
Huo Chuan didn't wait for him to finish, he raised his head and said word by word: "Who said I want to continue studying? I want to join the army."
"What?!" Huo Zehan was so shocked that he almost knocked over the coffee cup in his hand.
He calmed himself down, put the cup in his hand on the table opposite, and asked calmly, "Chuan'er, are you really going to join the army?"
Huo Chuan was a little impatient. He lowered his head and continued to play on his laptop. He said to Huo Zhehan indifferently, "Didn't you ask me to go to military school? Where would I go if I don't join the army?"
When Huo Zhehan heard this, he was so angry that he fell backwards. He picked up the cup in front of him, took a swig, pointed at Huo Chuan and asked, "Didn't you open a company? Don't you care?"
You really can't be nice to this kid, otherwise you will be pissed off to death!
Huo Chuan rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm cut out to start a company?"
He curled his lips and lowered his head to continue playing on his laptop. "Isn't there Xiao Nan? Besides, didn't you send people over to help?"
"You——" Huo Zhehan was speechless because of him.
Mother Huo also interjected, "Chuan'er, you went on two missions without telling your family. Do you know how worried they are about you? I'm..."
Mother Huo couldn't continue. Thinking of that horrific battlefield, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
"Chuan'er, can you not go?" The front line is not peaceful now.
Huo Chuan's brows furrowed as he finally put down his laptop, stood up and sat next to Huo's mother. His attitude was much better than before towards his father.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Yunmo and the others are also going to join the army, so we should be in the same army. Besides, joining the army doesn't mean you have to go to the front line!"
Mother Huo had already started wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Huo Zhehan quickly poured her a glass of water to help her calm down.
Huo Chuan put his arm around his mother's shoulders and patted her generously, "Don't worry! Don't we still have our older brothers?"
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Huo cried even harder.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhehan stood up abruptly and raised his hand to slap him.
"Big brother, second brother? Bah! Listen to what bullshit you are saying?!" It sounds unlucky, like someone's dying last words.
"Hey! Dad! Dad!"
Huo Chuan was beaten so hard that he ran away in panic, and finally he just ran out the door and escaped.
Looking at Huo Chuan's back as he ran away, Huo Zhehan sighed deeply.
Mother Huo walked over to him and asked worriedly, "What should we do? Do we really want Chuan'er to join the army?"
Huo Zhehan sighed deeply and waved his hands helplessly, "The child has grown up..."
He is already too thoughtful. He can't always live under the wings of his parents. The path arranged by his parents may not be the path he likes.
Mother Huo took a deep breath and said, "Sometimes, I really wish he had never gone to this military academy and was still confused. At least he would be safe."
Father Huo calmed himself down. As a parent, he also thought so.
The two were silent for a while, and Father Huo breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Yunmo is a reliable child."
Mother Huo nodded. "That child is quite pitiful. She's so young and has to bear so much on her own. Compared to her, Chuan'er really is... It seems that I can't stop her."
In the end, Mr. Huo controlled his own hands and stopped giving money to the school and did not interfere with Huo Chuan's choice.
