On a cement bench, the evening breeze was blowing, cool and comfortable, and the instructor and Chen Lu were sitting and chatting like a pair of friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Chen Lu, did you call home just now?"
The instructor looked at Chen Lu and asked kindly.
You just took the phone and called me out. I have time to make a call... Chen Lu muttered in his heart and smiled: "Not yet, but I don't know who to call. My grandfather said,
Don’t call home when you come to the army. Also, my mother is very busy and she probably won’t have time to answer my phone calls.”
At that moment, Chen Lu had the thought that maybe the only one who was free to answer his call at this time was his aunt.
However, at this time, my aunt is either playing games or eating melon seeds and watching TV series, and her phone is basically on silent mode.
Because ever since her grandma arranged blind dates for young talents from all over the world, her phone, which had become a hotline, was thrown aside by her aunt at night.
The instructor was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted Chen Lu on the shoulder, comforting him: "You can treat this place as your own home."
Chen Lu nodded, thinking that it was fortunate that the instructor had told him this. If it had been other recruits, they might have thought of deserting at this moment.
The instructor continued: "Relax, don't be restrained, don't think of me as the instructor now, just think of me as your friend, let's chat casually."
It's okay if he didn't say this. When he said this, Chen Lu's nerves suddenly tensed up and his body straightened quietly.
This is a conditioned reflex of staying with a group of veteran squad leaders for a long time, because the veteran squad leaders are shady and always like to say the opposite of what they say.
Especially Xujiang.
“Do you know what types of arms our country’s army has?”
The instructor didn't seem to notice the change in Chen Lu's expression, and then asked with a smile.
Chen Lu nodded and immediately said: "There are four major categories, the army, navy, air force and armed police force. The army includes infantry, armor, artillery, engineering and other professional units, and the navy includes..."
As a child who grew up in a military family, Chen Lu was very familiar with the common sense of the military.
The instructor praised: "Yes, you are the only one who remembers it so clearly among all the recruits I have come into contact with. You are worthy of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
A smile appeared on Chen Lu's face. Although he was wondering why the instructor asked him to come out at this time, he did not interrupt.
As a social person, listening is very important.
The instructor continued: "Our current recruit company belongs to the Army. After the three-month training of the recruits is completed, you will be assigned to each company."
"When you are in the new company, you have to practice everything. After you join the company, you will focus on skill training. Relatively speaking, it will not be as hard as now."
"For example, artillery must learn various artillery and missile knowledge to carry out long-range attacks on enemy positions and armor. Armored troops pursue mobility and firepower, and special forces have much higher requirements because they must adapt to fight in various harsh environments...
…”
After speaking, the instructor paused and gave Chen Lu time to digest.
Chen Lu nodded: "Detailed division of labor and specialization."
The instructor smiled and said, "Yes, one person's ability is limited, so letting those with expertise become more specialized can improve combat effectiveness."
"But the special forces are special forces, so they are different."
Chen Lu asked: "What's the difference?"
"Special forces belong to special forces. Compared with other arms, it can be said to be a relatively perfect profession. It requires high individual combat capabilities. They are all elites selected from various companies..."
The instructor explained patiently.
He knows that every soldier has the dream of becoming a special forces soldier.
"Among them, our company has the largest number of people who have successfully selected special forces, because the reconnaissance company has the highest requirements for the comprehensive quality of individuals... By the way, your squad leader always says that you hide your clumsiness, is it true?"
After speaking, the instructor looked at Chen Lu and smiled.
I went and was betrayed again. Do other companies agree with your statement... Chen Lu raised his hand holding gauze, "Instructor, I tried my best."
The instructor looked at the red gauze on Chen Lu's hands, nodded and said: "You are a good prospect, the best among the recruits. Where do you want to go after the recruits graduate?"
Chen Lu was stunned: "Instructor, can I choose this by myself?"
The instructor smiled and said: "Others can't, but you can put forward your own opinions."
"Cooking class."
Chen Luping said.
"I'm asking you, after the recruits graduate, which company do you want to join?"
"Cooking class."
The instructor was stunned for a moment, with an unnatural expression on his face. He stared at Chen Lu and said, "Do you want to go to the cooking class?"
He was dumbfounded and wondered if he had heard wrongly.
After saying this for a long time, it seemed like I was blowing my breath into the pig cage.
By the way, every recruit who graduated was not ashamed of being assigned to the cooking class. Now, someone actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to go to the cooking class. This was the first time he had heard of it.
Chen Lu looked at the surprised instructor and asked tentatively: "Is the cooking class okay?"
The instructor was silent and stared at him for a long time, "Are you serious?"
"Yes."
Chen Lu nodded.
The instructor patted Chen Lu on the shoulder and said unnaturally: "Are you trying to raise pigs?"
Originally, the instructor chatted with Yang Song every day, and Chen Lu's comprehensiveness made both of them excited. They had trained so many recruits, and Chen Lu was the best recruit they had ever seen, bar none.
They had already made up their minds and were trying their best to push each other down, but this guy said he was going to the cooking class?
But it is indeed a good place for retirement.
Chen Lu's scalp was numb and he said: "I heard that the cooking class is full of soldiers, and any one of them may be a sweeper."
The instructor was silent again, then smiled for a moment and said: "What do you think, kid? If you are the king of soldiers, you will be the king of soldiers after retirement or injury."
"With your conditions, it would be a waste not to join the combat force."
Chen Lusan smiled.
The instructor continued: "You already have a third-class meritorious service, and your starting point is very high. The company commander and I are very optimistic about you. Once the recruits graduate, you still have a chance to get another third-class meritorious service, which is equivalent to solving the hard conditions for advancement.
”
"If you work hard in the future, you can definitely become an officer. Why are you going to the cooking class? You are short of food..."
After knowing that Chen Lu didn't really want to raise pigs, the instructor breathed a sigh of relief.
If a top recruit like Chen Lu went to the cooking class, others would not laugh at Chen Lu, but at him as an instructor and company commander.
If the best recruits are sent to raise pigs, doesn't this mean they have pig heads?
Chen Lu smiled and said: "Actually, I'm asking for your opinion. I don't know much about the army. I'm busy first!"
After saying that, Chen Lu stood up, patted his butt, and left immediately.
I'm scared to death... The instructor looked at Chen Lu's leaving figure and couldn't laugh or cry.
It was his first time doing ideological work for recruits, and he was frightened.
Wait, you are not familiar with the army?
The instructor suddenly thought of something and had a strange expression on his face.
The other side.
When Chen Lu returned to the dormitory, he met Yang Song coming out with a mobile phone in the corridor.
"Report, company commander."
Chen Lu immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Although the relationship between the two is different, this is the army, not the chief's grandpa's house.
Yang Song nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The instructor told you."
Chen Lu nodded: "I told you, lights out soon, I'll go back to the dormitory first."
After saying that, he immediately passed by Yang Song and entered the dormitory.
He could jokingly ask the instructor how the cooking class was? However, he must not say this to Yang Song in person, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
I'm so scary... Yang Song looked at Chen Lu who was running away, confused.
In the dormitory.
As soon as Chen Lu entered the dormitory, Wang Bing glanced at Xu Jiang, came up to him calmly, and asked curiously: "Why did the instructor ask you to go out?"
Although Wang Bing's voice was small, most people heard it due to the small space in the dormitory. Immediately, many people looked over, all with gossipy expressions on their faces.
Chen Lu said calmly: "It's just my condolences. It will be your turn in the future."
At this time, Xu Jiang glanced at Chen Lu and said, "It's time for you to wash up. Do more practical things and stop talking so much nonsense."
"Yes, monitor."
Chen Lu has developed a habit. No matter how tired he is, he insists on changing clothes and washing up every day. At the same time, this is also the result of his sensitive five senses.
Wang Bing looked at Xu Jiang and Chen Lu in confusion, feeling that it was not as simple as Chen Lu said.
He knew that Chen Lu was talking about condolences, but did the instructor's condolences to Chen Lu take too long this time? Everyone in the dormitory took turns to finish the phone call before coming back.
At this moment, Flea sighed and said: "I'm too tired today and my hands are hurt, so I won't wash them."
Wang Bing's thoughts were immediately interrupted.
Xu Jiang glanced at him and cursed: "I'm not telling you, you are either too tired or injured every day. Have you washed your feet once in a week? The same goes for your feet."
