Chapter 4 Hey, you want to flatter me?
"Draw now!"
Xu Ge shouted excitedly in his heart.
The reason why he was excited was not because a new skill slot was about to be lit up, but because he had come to a conclusion through the test just now, that is, the judgment of the military order system was different from that in the army, and the military orders he issued as a new recruit would also be effective!
[Randomly draw a new skill - cooking, upper limit is intermediate, whether to light up the skill grid]
???
Xu Ge glanced at Luo Shan, his mind full of question marks.
No, what the hell is cooking?
Could this platoon leader be from the kitchen? But there don't seem to be any officers in the kitchen?
"Well, this 'Stand at attention' shout is quite interesting. You learn it very quickly!" Luo Shan nodded and commented on Xu Ge's command just now.
"Platoon leader, can we do it again? I don't think I performed well just now." Xu Ge asked with a stiff face.
He also wanted to see if he could extract any other new skills from Luo Shan.
Luo Shan's face turned serious. "You're not done yet, are you? Just let me let you have some fun. Why would a new recruit learn this? You'll have plenty of opportunities to learn it once you become a squad leader!"
Sure enough, the other party was unhappy.
"Yes! Platoon Leader!" Xu Ge was a little disappointed. "Then I'll go first."
"Remember to put on some thick clothes, go!" Luo Shan reminded.
Xu Ge was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Luo Shan: "Platoon Leader, where are we going?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You'll know when you get there!" Luo Shan waved his hand, "Go!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge began to walk towards the door of the armed forces department, reading the instructions on the token as he walked.
Do you want to light up the new skill slot on the back?
But I'm going to join the army, and cooking skills are of no use unless I go to the kitchen team.
Who would want to go to the kitchen when they are already in the army?
But what if it really comes in handy?
Never mind, it’s always good to have more skills. This is the first new skill I’ve acquired, so light it up!
With a thought, green words appeared on the first skill box on the back of the token.
“Cooking: Elementary (1/5)”
The next second, some new insights related to cooking came to my mind.
At the same time, Xu Ge also understood what the upper limit of intermediate level meant: this was Luo Shan’s current cooking level.
If he wanted to continue improving, in addition to actual training, he could also make Luo Shan constantly execute the military orders he issued. At least five rounds of 100% execution of military orders were required to advance from the primary level to the intermediate level.
"Let Platoon Leader Luo Shan help me improve my skill proficiency?" This idea was dismissed by Xu Ge as soon as it came up.
Putting aside the question of whether cooking skills are useful or not, for a new recruit to chase after the platoon leader for orders every day, he must be living too long!
. . .
. . .
After finding his parents, Xu Ge briefly repeated Luo Shan's words, and Xu Zhijun immediately found a restaurant near the Armed Forces Headquarters.
"Eat quickly, then go to the supermarket and buy two thick clothes!"
Bai Jing kept putting food into her son's bowl and said distressedly, "Really? How could he be chosen to go to the Northwest?"
Xu Ge was a little curious: "Dad, Mom, I just asked Platoon Leader Luo Shan and he didn't tell me where we were going. How did you know?"
"Have you forgotten who your father is? As soon as I saw your platoon leader's armband, I knew he was from the Northwest Wolf Brigade!"
Xu Zhijun was a little smug. "He's right. The temperature difference between day and night is huge there. Even though it's summer now, it can be very cold at night!"
"Xiao Ge, I just transferred three thousand yuan to your phone. If it's not enough, remember to tell mom!"
Bai Jing worked on Xu Ge's phone for a while, then reminded him, "Remember to send me your location when you get there. Mom will come back to see you."
Xu Ge nodded in response and lowered his head to concentrate on eating.
Xu Zhijun on the side shook his head, seeming to hesitate to speak.
Cell phone location? Are you kidding? That's the Wolf Brigade!
If it were really that simple, there wouldn't be any information about the Wolf Brigade's location on the Internet yet.
By the time I finished shopping at the supermarket, it was already six o'clock, and two military vehicles were already parked in the yard of the Armed Forces Department.
Minister Liu personally pinned big red flowers on Xu Ge and the other six recruits, and arranged for their parents to take a group photo together.
When Xu Zhijun saw Luo Shan coming over, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and handed him a black shopping bag, which contained two packs of soft Zhonghua cigarettes he had just bought in the supermarket.
"Thank you for your hard work, Platoon Leader Luo. Here's a little treat for you. Take it and smoke it on the way!"
Luo Shan stretched out his hand to block it, and Xu Zhijun couldn't pass it over.
"Dear parent, we are here to recruit soldiers. We don't accept such nonsense. Don't worry, everyone who joins our army will be treated equally."
Without waiting for Xu Zhijun to continue, he opened the car door and looked at the six recruits: "It's almost time, get in the car and go!"
"Xu Ge, take my car!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge gave Bai Jing a not-so-standard military salute and ran over with his suitcase.
Bai Jing's eyes turned red, and she was about to follow immediately, but Xu Zhijun stopped her and whispered, "Smile! Xiao Ge will definitely feel bad if you cry."
"Oh, Lao Xu, my heart suddenly feels empty!" Bai Jing forced a smile and waved at Xu Ge in the car.
Xu Ge rolled down the rear window, waved at his parents, and shouted, "Mom and Dad, wait for me to make meritorious service in the army!"
He was a little excited. A new life was about to begin.
Luo Shan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared out of the armed forces department.
. . .
. . .
During the enlistment season, each station and airport has a special passage for military personnel.
The county train station was not large and there were few passengers at this time. Luo Shan led six new recruits directly into the platform through a dedicated passage and boarded a green train.
Before getting on the train, Xu Ge looked at the train number sign outside the carriage and found that the final destination of this train was a place called Zhangye.
The carriage was a bit stuffy. One of the recruits took off his hat and placed it on the table, then began to take off his camouflage jacket.
"What are you doing?!"
A stern voice rang out, and Luo Shan glared at the other person, "Who told you to take off your clothes? Put them on! You are soldiers now, you must always pay attention to your military image!"
The new recruit quickly put his clothes back on, and the others also gave up the idea of taking off their clothes and even sat up straighter.
Luo Shan found a seat in the empty carriage and sat down. He continued, "We've still got a long way to go. If you're tired, go to sleep. Don't walk around for no reason, and don't get off the train!"
Bang bang bang!
The train drove out of the county town and headed northwest.
In the first half of the night, Xu Ge was quite energetic, either chatting quietly with other recruits or playing with his mobile phone. He even went to the dining car for a midnight snack.
Unlike other recruits who left home for the first time, Xu Ge did not have any difficulty adapting, but was more curious about his future military life.
By the second half of the night, everyone couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the table.
Starting from the daytime of the next day, as the train passed through more and more stations, new recruits and recruiting officers from other places began to enter the carriages.
Most of these recruiting officers were lieutenants or captains, but after seeing the armband on Luo Shan's arm, they would come over and say hello.
In the evening, the train arrived at Zhangye Station. Luo Shan and the six people got off the train but did not leave the station. Instead, they changed platforms and boarded another train.
This time, the other five recruits were taken away by a cadre, and Xu Ge followed Luo Shan into a troop transport carriage that was already half full, and the carriage was also filled with recruits with red flowers on their chests.
After the train started again, Xu Ge's cell phone was taken away by Luo Shan.
The scenery outside the car window began to become vast and desolate, and often there was no human habitation for a long distance.
After nightfall, the moonlight covered the earth. Looking out of the car window, you could even see the Milky Way in the night sky, and the stars seemed larger.
Having not slept well last night, Xu Ge wrapped himself in thick clothes and fell asleep on the table early tonight.
The train stopped and started, and people left and entered the carriage.
In a daze, Xu Ge felt someone was taking pictures of him.
"Hey, Bangyou, do you want the seat next to you? Can I sit here for a while?" A new recruit with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked with a smile while standing in the aisle.
