Chapter 149: Preparation for the awarding of titles, still need to roll up
Chen Mo had been staying in the military camp recently, hanging out with that group of old scouts, and suddenly coming to the academy felt quite fresh.
Back to dormitory 402 again.
When I opened the door, I saw a group of restless guys putting the tables in the dormitory together. Ding Zeliang, Lai Wei, Liu Mujun and Wang Bo were playing poker.
Sheng Donghao and Xie Yong did not participate. They stood behind the group, watching with their arms folded.
"Hey! The captain of the scholar district is back?"
Wang Bo was holding a playing card in his hand. When he heard the door open, he tried to look behind Chen Mo to see if the squad leader had returned.
"What did the meeting say? Is there anything important to announce?"
"Of course."
Chen Mo threw the record book on the table and stood under the big fan, feeling the breeze blowing. "The rank awarding ceremony will be tomorrow, and the cultural courses will also start tomorrow."
"You'd better play cards on Sunday. I think the management in the Army Academy is much stricter than in the army."
Although these veterans are unruly, they can still distinguish priorities.
After all, Chen Mo must know some inside information when he went to the meeting, and it would not be appropriate for him to be too ostentatious when he first arrived.
After hearing what he said, Ding Zeliang immediately packed up the poker cards, and several people worked together to move the table back to its original place.
In fact, according to the duties of the district captain, Chen Mo should go to dormitory 401 at this time. Even if there is no meeting, he should at least convey the spirit of the meeting.
A reminder to the new students.
But he didn't take any action.
Through the meeting, he already knew that the training arrangements for those who were enrolled in the Reconnaissance Department in May would be taken over by the college coaching staff.
As a district captain who was temporarily promoted, he would not be given high hopes. At most, he would balance the relationship between the new students entering the school and the college cadres.
By the way, I'll deal with this "troublemaker" of his.
However, Chen Mo didn't care. This was not the first time he was treated as a troublemaker.
While the veterans in the class were reading his record book, Chen Mo was just about to pack up the toiletries he was given.
The dormitory door was pushed open again with a bang.
Wang Fuming, squad leader of Class 402, strode in. He first glanced at everyone in the dormitory.
He said, "Everyone, gather downstairs."
"Hurry up."
Having learned from the previous lesson, no one dared to delay when they heard the gathering downstairs.
They were afraid of being late, so they ran downstairs as fast as they could.
A meeting was just held downstairs, and all members of the second team were present. As it was dark, Chen Mo couldn't tell which class they were from.
Now, when I came downstairs, I found that there were only two classes gathered.
And the way of gathering was not the conventional line-up, but both classes stood in a row, facing each other, three meters apart, looking at each other.
That damn captain Fang Huai came downstairs again at some point in time.
Chen Mo stood at the end of the queue. Before he could even look up, Fang Huai waved him: "Come on, come on, scholar. You're the district captain. You don't need to join the queue yet."
"Stand in front of me."
Hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at Fang Huai, then looked at the two squads that had already lined up. He roughly understood what Captain Fang meant.
At this meeting, the second team of students only gathered two classes from the second district team, and the three classes from the first district team were not present.
It's obviously related to him, the newly appointed district captain.
As expected.
As soon as Chen Mo walked up to Fang Huai and stood in front of him, the narrow-minded Captain Fang put his hands on his hips and said loudly, "There's nothing else to do at this gathering."
"It's just to let you get to know your district captain."
"Even without me telling you, you should be able to guess that selecting comrades from among you to serve as district captains is a special requirement of the academy."
"The goal is to allow you to learn empathy through the switch between roles as manager and managed. The way students manage students will allow you and me to understand each other."
"Of course, it's more important for you to adapt and become familiar with the duties of an officer."
"Xiucai is a private soldier. Are you guys in Division 2 convinced by letting him be the district captain?"
Without waiting for anyone to respond.
Fang Huai changed his posture from standing with his hands on his hips to standing with his hands behind his back and continued.
"Now, I'll give all of you ten seconds to think. Anyone who feels that they are more capable than Xiucai of taking on the responsibility of being a district captain, please step forward."
As soon as the words fell.
The seven people in dormitory 401 stepped forward without any hesitation, staring at Chen Mo with burning eyes.
Just appointed, that is without asking them.
Soldiers all like to fight, and the position of district captain usually only appears in military academies and police academies, so many veterans may not be able to react to it.
Now that you've asked, there's no reason not to argue.
Seeing that everyone in 401 had taken a step forward, Xie Yong and the others hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to take a step forward as well.
The atmosphere in the two classes suddenly became tense.
Chen Mo didn't say anything. He just wanted to see how Captain Fang was going to act out this drama.
When it's his turn to fight, he will naturally not give in, but now is obviously not the time yet.
Fang Huai glanced at Chen Mo and found that this sharp-tongued boy was not panicked at all. He frowned.
He turned to the line again and said, "Everyone thinks they are all very capable, which is great, but comrades, ability cannot be expressed through words."
"Ability must be demonstrated through action. From now on, you must compete with each other and use each other's faces as your whetstone."
"Remember, it's the honor of a soldier to compete."
"Your rank will be awarded tomorrow, and your new battlefield has begun."
"But in the first week, the captain of your second district team is the scholar. Anyone who wants to squeeze him out, show me your skills within five days."
"Do you understand?"
"yes!!"
"Alright, let's disband. Today is your first day, so I won't ask anything of you."
"I hope tomorrow will be the beginning of a brand new future for you."
"Dismissed!!"
As the order was given, the two classes that had originally gathered quickly turned around and walked towards the corridor in unison.
The show was over, and Chen Mo didn't even get a chance to speak. He was just about to follow the team upstairs.
Fang Huai called him again.
"Scholar, wait a moment."
"Captain, is there anything else?" Chen Mo straightened his chest.
To be honest, he didn't have any complaints about Captain Fang, who liked to make trouble, but he definitely didn't have much good impression of him either.
"Haha, you kid." Fang Huai raised his hand and patted Chen Mo's shoulder.
"Why, do you think I, the captain, am petty? Just because you contradicted me a few times, I grabbed you and gave you a hard time?"
"Report, no."
Chen Mo shook his head slightly and said, "I will resolutely obey orders."
"Bullshit."
Fang Huai curled his lips and said, "Don't give me that, kid. I've read your file. To be more precise, many leaders in the college have read your file."
"From private to officer, what a grand honor! Do you know how many cadets are enrolled this May?"
"Not counting your reconnaissance major, just counting the other majors, there are over 1,700 people in total, and you're the only private who's reported to the academy."
"I don't need to tell you how many eyes are staring at you right now, do I?"
"Not only must you fight for the position of district captain, you must fight for it with all your might. Of course, you must not neglect your academic performance. You must bring honor to your 63rd Army and your old Seventh Division. You are the only one from the Seventh Division this year."
"The head of the Seventh Division is also here in our academy." Fang Huai said a few words with a hint of meaning.
He continued, "Your political commissar's last name is He, right? I used to work for him as a communications officer. Later, during my time at the Central Training Program, my original unit was disbanded, so I stayed at the academy after graduation."
"Boy, show some courage."
After saying that, Fang Huai patted Chen Mo's shoulder again, then left with his hands behind his back.
But this time, it was Chen Mo's turn to be confused.
No, this Captain Fang is also an acquaintance?!
Chen Mo looked at Fang Huai's back as he walked away. After a moment of silence, he seemed to understand something.
No wonder the people in their dormitory 402 were inexplicably made an example of. After he stood up and argued for his point, Fang Huai was a major and deputy battalion-level cadre.
Even if he couldn't stand it at the time, he shouldn't have been chosen as the district captain, right?
Once the selection is made, they called down two classes from the second district team right after the meeting to encourage the competitive momentum.
After all this time, it turned out that it wasn't Fang Huai who was watching him, but the former leader of the Seventh Division was here?
After thinking for a while, Chen Mo shook his head. In fact, since he entered the school, he had no intention of struggling in physical education classes anymore.
When you get to school, you must study hard, do well in your academic subjects, use your abilities to complete a few projects, and enrich your files, which is better than anything else.
But now it seems that he was mistaken.
You have to focus on academic subjects, but you also can't neglect physical fitness.
After this, you still have to roll.
Maybe it’s really like what Fang Huai said, new students won’t be given much trouble on their first day at school.
After Chen Mo went upstairs, he did not receive any more notifications, and he did not even gather for the evening roll call. A group of veterans chatted in the dormitory for most of the night.
During this period, Wang Fuming only gave occasional reminders and didn't even pay much attention to the new squad leader.
Everything seems to be going well.
The next morning, May 8th.
Maybe it was because they were chatting too late, Chen Mo was unable to roll up.
While he was sleeping soundly, the low sound of the wake-up call filled the entire accommodation area.
"get up!!"
The moment Wang Fuming lifted the quilt, he shouted a warning.
"Everyone, please wear uniform and leather shoes and gather downstairs."
"Chen Mo, you're the district captain. Go wash up quickly and go downstairs first. You'll maintain discipline and lead the team to the military training ground for the awarding ceremony."
Damn, why didn't you say this earlier?
Although Chen Mo is the district captain, he has just arrived and doesn't even know where the military training ground is.
While everyone in the dormitory was getting up, Chen Mo rushed to the bathroom to wash up, holding up his pants and carrying a small yellow basin.
After washing up, he quickly went downstairs.
At this time, Fang Huai, the captain of the second cadet team, was already standing downstairs. He saw Chen Mo coming down and handed him the list in his hand, saying, "Come with me to receive your military rank later. Follow the list and don't get it wrong."
"Put your clothes in order. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"More than a thousand people have gathered. The principal will preside over the awarding ceremony today. It won't be that fast."
"yes."
Chen Mo tucked the list under his arm and quickly adjusted his clothes.
Damn, it's easy to make a fool of yourself when you're in a strange place.
How would he know the exact time of the gathering?
However, I thought that soon I would be able to wear the red student shoulder straps again.
Chen Mo didn't have the energy to think about so many things.
The red shoulder straps were the beginning of his dream in his previous life.
This life can't be bad, right?
