Chapter 148: Forcing a duck to climb a tree, this official is higher than the squad leader
Let’s not talk about whether it was a bumpy road or not, after Chen Mo confronted the instructor.
I finally got into the queue as I wished, and no longer had to block the entrance to the dormitory passage and be looked down upon like a monkey.
The major who had just been finding fault stared sideways at the queue, and when he walked to the speaking position, he was not in a very good state.
How can it be so good?
If he punished a new student who contradicted him in person, he would be admitting that he was using the difference in military rank to suppress the new student.
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If it were to be taken too seriously, he might not be able to withstand such remarks.
After all, it’s okay to show your power in private, but it can’t really be exposed to the school level.
Shimen Luyuan is the only college in the country with a reconnaissance department.
The new students come from seven major military regions. Those who can be promoted are not only capable, but also have some special cases.
Adjusted my mood.
The major, with a stern face, faced the formation and said in a booming voice, "Comrades, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Huai, deputy commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Battalion of the Army Training Corps."
"He is also the captain of your new student team in the Reconnaissance Department this year."
"I congratulate you all for being here. I admit that you are great for being here. You are the proudest soldiers in your unit, tough guys whose reputations spread far and wide."
"But let me be frank. No matter how powerful you are in the army or how favored you are by the officers, always remember that this is the Lu Academy, not your unit."
"Do you think that just because your military region's political department recommended you for further study, everything will be fine, that you can easily endure a few months and then go back and become a cadre?"
"I'm telling you, if anyone has such thoughts, give up on them as soon as possible. The academy has its own system. We allowed you to come here in style today, and we will naturally let you go back to where you came from tomorrow."
"Don't think I'm threatening you. I won't say any nice words of welcome. Whether you can stay here depends on your own performance."
"No one should show off your old soldier's power here."
Fang Huai made a few symbolic threats, then raised his head and fixed his gaze on Chen Mo, who was standing behind him with his head tilted back, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Okay, now I'd like to introduce a new student to you."
"Chen Mo!"
"arrive!"
"Step out."
"yes."
The person who had just been arguing with Fang Huai was called out in the blink of an eye.
The students from each class of the second division who were lining up watched Chen Mo run from the back to the front.
The second squad of the reconnaissance department is basically composed of students who have recently entered the school. There are only five classes in total, with less than forty people.
The first team is composed of people who came here before the New Year. They have been here for half a year. Their main focus is currently on the project and they usually don't mix with the people in the second team.
Although a cadet squad like theirs is affiliated with the 30th Squadron, the two have basically no intersection. One is a reconnaissance unit stationed at the academy, and the other is a group of cadets majoring in the reconnaissance department.
The entire squadron will only go out together during large-scale training or marches.
Usually everyone does their own thing.
Chen Mo was also very puzzled as to what the squad leader wanted him to do at this time. In front of so many people, the other party would not beat him up, right?
As it turns out, it really can't.
Not only that, when Fang Huai saw Chen Mo running to his side, Captain Fang, who had just had a serious face, immediately became extremely enthusiastic.
Facing Chen Mo's salute, he returned the salute earnestly, then patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said to the people in the queue: "Comrades, let me solemnly introduce this comrade to you."
“Maybe many of you don’t know him?”
"But I want to mention one thing. You must have heard that on New Year's Eve last year, a private from the 63rd Army's armored brigade stationed in Hedong successfully captured and stopped three knife-wielding spies during a patrol."
"This private is Chen Mo, also known as the Scholar. This is a title recognized by the military district. That's him."
Fang Huai's introduction did not make Chen Mo feel proud at all.
Instead, a chill rushed to the back of my head, and even goose bumps appeared in patches.
The veterans who were standing in formation all stared at Chen Mo. He was being stared at by a group of veterans, especially the elites selected from the reconnaissance units of the seven major military regions.
That feeling is not very pleasant.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this feeling is like sitting on pins and needles.
Damn it, "Xiucai" is just a nickname that many people call out for fun. When did the military district recognize it?
Fang Huai ignored the gazes of the people in the queue and smiled again: "Our college's second team is divided into two district teams. Comrade Chen Mo has performed well in the unit."
"Your political and ideological skills are also strong. In order to better carry out subsequent work, I appoint Comrade Chen Mo as the captain of the second squad of the second detachment of our reconnaissance department students."
"Comrades, come and applaud the scholar."
Snap, snap, snap.
Fang Huai was the first to applaud. The students and veterans in the queue cooperated, but the applause was very rapid, and it died down after two claps.
The second squad of the reconnaissance department students consists of five classes.
The first three classes are divided into one district team, and the last two classes, namely dormitory 401 and dormitory 402, are divided into one district team.
Appointing Chen Mo as the district captain means that he has just arrived and his rank is higher than that of the squad leader.
Nominally speaking, he can manage two classes.
This sudden appointment caught Chen Mo off guard.
He had been to the Shimen Army Command College and knew that for the convenience of management, the college would generally select district captains from among the more famous students.
Whether they are team leaders, district leaders or squad leaders, they are all "officials" in charge of training and have nothing to do with cultural subjects.
The role it plays is only to assist the college in management.
But what the hell, no matter who is chosen from the two dormitories, he cannot be chosen. The army values seniority the most. How can he, a private, be the district captain of a group of veterans?
Wouldn't that be completely numb?
"Captain, I..." Chen Mo originally wanted to decline, saying that he was not qualified for the job.
After all, he came here to study, and didn't want to waste his time on these stupid training issues.
"There are only faulty executions, not faulty commands. What is a soldier's duty?"
Fang Huai interrupted Chen Mo and asked with a cold face.
"Yes, Captain."
Chen Mo straightened his chest. He had no choice but to be the district captain.
What he had just said to Fang Huai turned into a boomerang so quickly and hit him hard in the butt.
What to do? Just take it! Damn it.
Seeing the scholar calm down and stand aside, Fang Huai finally felt relieved.
Do you think that people from their coaching team want to be captains for people who are majoring in the scouting department?
What the hell.
These people often have second-class merit, third-class merit, or fourth-class commendation awards, and each one has an impressive resume.
The reconnaissance department is the most difficult to manage in the entire Lu Academy. Leave it to their own people and let the people in the academy arrange supervision. This is a tried and tested method.
This method is indeed useful.
At least now, the people in dormitories 401 and 402 have been casting their eyes towards the new district captain at the front of the queue from time to time.
The district captain does have more power than the class monitor. The district captain will report the performance of the class leader at the end of the month.
It can be said that the college does not know how you perform. It only looks at the data and the report, and this report is in Chen Mo's hands.
This thing is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you might end up getting stabbed first.
Fang Huai thought the meeting was almost over.
He simply waved his hand and said, "Have the new comrades who came today not had dinner yet?"
"We're new to the academy and aren't familiar with the place yet. Let's run ten kilometers to warm up, get familiar with the playground, and then each class leader will lead the team to dinner."
"Tomorrow we will be awarded our titles and we will go to the classroom to get acquainted with the grounds. Today we will just run ten kilometers as a token of our respect."
"Everyone, four columns, target the playground, run forward."
"Well, the captain of the scholar district is in charge of supervision."
After saying the last sentence in a heart-wrenching manner, Fang Huai straightened his hat as if nothing had happened, smiled at Chen Mo, and strode away.
What is supervision?
To put it simply, you don't need to run these ten kilometers, just check the circle.
I saw several classes lined up in four columns, running past me with the sound of "dong dong" footsteps.
Even though Chen Mo is knowledgeable and experienced, he has never encountered such a situation where someone is forced to do something.
Wang Fuming, the squad leader of 402, deliberately glanced at Chen Mo when he passed by him.
Damn it, this college is so hard to get into.
Chen Mo muttered something, but didn't really stand there to watch the fun.
He quickly followed the class's formation and set off with all the veterans in the class.
For students who have just been admitted to the military academy, running ten kilometers will make them exhausted, and I guess few of them can really persist.
But for these people who were promoted, it was not too difficult. The really uncomfortable part was running in casual clothes. The weather in early May was already hot enough.
Even at night, it would be very uncomfortable.
The fabric of his regular clothes did not absorb sweat, and he felt restrained all over. Before he even reached the playground, Wang Bo took off his big hat and fanned his head with it.
"Scholar, it's devastating, you're in trouble. I tell you, you've offended the captain by coming here. What were you thinking?"
"Shut up."
Chen Mo had just caught up with the queue and hadn't said anything when Ding Zeliang, who had just argued with Fang Huai, responded in a bad mood.
No matter how you look at it, the scholar just spoke up to help the whole class out of their predicament, and he also helped him out of his predicament, so now he naturally became the first person to support him.
Wang Bo was stunned by this sudden scolding. Although he was not the most senior in the class, he was still a first-class non-commissioned officer.
How can I keep my face when being scolded like this?
Lao Wang immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing his chubby face and facial features that were almost all put together.
"What do you mean? You want to practice?"
"Just practice, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing that Fatty Wang was about to take action, Ding Zeliang also rolled up his sleeves, glared, and prepared to practice.
It's not that they are being reckless.
But this is the prevailing trend in Lu Academy in this era.
After all, this is not their own unit. Even if they are assigned to the same class, they don’t have much friendship with each other. Each of them is like a powder keg.
"Alright, alright, Wang Bo, just be quiet." Xie Yong from dormitory 402 saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately ran to squeeze in between the two of them.
"The fact that the scholar was appointed as the district captain was a deliberate prank by that Fang. Can't he even see that?"
"If it weren't for the scholar's help, we wouldn't have been able to get through it so easily. From now on, our dormitory must unite."
"Let me first state my stance. I firmly support Xiucai as the captain of this district."
"I also express my opinion, just like Lao Xie." Ding Zeliang glanced at Fatty Wang and raised his left hand.
With these two people from the Night Tiger Company taking the lead, Lai Wei, Liu Mujun, and Sheng Donghao all nodded, and no one said anything.
After all, anyone can see that being a district captain is not an easy job. Evening roll call, morning roll call, taking leave, and selection are all the responsibilities of the district captain.
Those who come here for further studies don't plan to stay here for a long time. It's just a few months, so it doesn't matter who does it.
Of course, this presupposes that they need someone they like to do the job.
Everyone in the class has expressed their opinions.
Only Wang Bo was left.
He turned his head to glance at Chen Mo, who was jogging beside him, and poked him twice with his elbow, saying, "Scholar, what do you think?"
"I don't think much about it, just do it!"
Chen Mo shrugged.
When the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will build up a pile of earth. There is no need to be afraid.
Maybe it was because they had just arrived, but when running the ten kilometers on the college playground, none of the five classes tried to show off, and they all ran in an orderly manner.
In addition to the fact that regular uniforms are not suitable for exercise, some veterans took off their coats and ran in just a shirt, holding their clothes in their hands.
If it weren't for the fact that the Army Academy is different from the military, there would not only be male students on the playground, but also a few female students passing by from time to time.
I guess these old hands in the reconnaissance department have to go shirtless.
There were no other surprises.
Running, getting some fresh air, and adapting to the new environment may not necessarily be a bad thing for these veterans.
There's not much to say next.
The show of force failed to succeed, and the ten kilometers had basically temporarily dispelled the old soldier's arrogance.
The class monitors led the team to the cafeteria to familiarize themselves with the place and have dinner.
Military academies are different from the army. Meals are paid for with campus cards, and a fixed subsidy amount is deposited into the card every month.
Other students can go back to the dormitory to rest after dinner and wait for the next arrangements.
But Chen Mo can't do that.
This guy became the district captain, but we don’t know whether he got any benefits or not.
After dinner, Fang Huai informed me that all the district captains and squad leaders of the two teams of reconnaissance students were to hold a collective meeting.
There is nothing confidential about the content of the meeting; all we learned was the school rules.
To put it simply, no matter which unit you come from, once you come to the Army Academy, you must abide by the rules of the Army Academy.
Learn the regulations, use the regulations, and implement management according to the regulations. Do not seek formalities or play tricks. Adhere to consistency in education and emphasize self-consciousness.
While at school, students must strictly abide by all regulations. Not only new students, but also faculty members of the academy, regardless of whether they are military, political, or civilian faculty members, must participate in drill training and morning exercises.
The student team must implement higher and stricter regulations and standards than the military.
A meeting lasted until the evening roll call.
But Chen Mo did not gain nothing.
At least he knew that tomorrow the academy would award this group of students the title of first-bar student.
Promotion is different from taking exams.
New students who enter the school through the college entrance examination must go through at least two months of training.
From the school's perspective, there's really no need to polish these people.
In addition to the awarding of ranks, the first professional reconnaissance course will also begin.
This is the area that Chen Mo is most looking forward to and is also the area he is best at.
"tomorrow."
Chen Mo was thinking about tomorrow's arrangements. He held the meeting record book issued by the college in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and went upstairs in a very proud manner.
You know what, no matter how he got the position of district captain, it feels pretty good to be an official.
