Chapter 223: The Most Awesome Recruit

Translator: Draqon Boat Translation Editor: Draqon BoatTranslati

Mother fuck! This year, it’s indeed my zodiac year. It’s been an extremely unlucky year. First, 1 had to deal with a troublesome recruit, and now there’s another fool who’s asking for trouble!”

At the regiment headquarters, on a mountain road more than 40 kilometers to the north, Platoon Leader Tian, who had led the team to confront Wang Ye, struck the door of the off-road vehicle next to him.

The car door made a loud thud.

He felt too frustrated, too upset, and utterly uncomfortable!

Previously, Wang Ye had only humiliated him, tarnishing his reputation and causing him to lose face.

Now, Deng Hai was kicking him while he was down.

This kick might cost him his position as the platoon leader of the reconnaissance unit. He might even end up being sent to the production team to lead the pig-raising crew.

In such a situation, how could he not be furious?

Truth be told, when the regiment headquarters came to inform him, he secretly hoped to hear that Deng Hai had met his demise somewhere, rather than returning to their hometown and being captured.

That would make him appear utterly incapable!

Scouting and tracking behind enemy lines were their specialties.

Despite a new recruit escaping a few hours ahead of them, it was a plain fact that they couldn’t catch up or locate him.

What could he do?

He could only vent his frustration and lament that this year was truly filled with misfortune.

In the past, such incidents had never occurred in the recruit company.

Teaching new recruits a lesson was part of the job, and even if there were deserters, they were usually caught after a short distance.

But this year, he had faced difficulties on both fronts.

It could be said that he was the most significant victim of this situation.

Of course, his company commander wouldn’t have it easy either, but his situation wasn’t as dire as Tian’s.

Regardless, he was feeling deeply dejected at the moment.

It wasn’t as if these recruits were from the police detective company, but somehow, the blame was being shifted onto him time and time again.

Around ten o’clock that night, three cars arrived at the regiment headquarters.

Wang Ye, come with me to see the regiment commander!” Wu Jianfeng glanced at Wang Ye and then addressed the third-class monitor and Kang Hua, “Wait for us downstairs!”

At this moment, Deng Hai had already been brought down.

However, there was no need for Wu Jianfeng and the others to take any action.

Someone had already taken him into custody.

He would be subjected to an overnight interrogation.

Yes, sir!

The few of them replied, and Wang Ye followed Wu Jianfeng upstairs.

It was Wang Ye s first visit to the regiment headquarters building.

He encountered the Regiment Commander once again.

Wu Jianfeng recounted the entire incident in great detail, withholding nothing, even mentioning that the dagger had been placed on the regiment commander s desk.

After he finished speaking, the regiment commander turned his gaze towards Wang Ye.

His stern expression softened a bit, and he even managed a smile. “Wang Ye!

Present!

Wang Ye stood at attention and responded.

You’ve done well this time. Your courageous actions will be recognized in the future!”

Yes, sir!

Wang Ye replied once more.

Indeed! ” The regiment commander smiled and nodded. Then, he rubbed his temples and glanced at Wu Jianfeng. “Go on, return to your rest for now. With such an incident, we need to reinforce the soldiers’ ideological education.”

Yes, sir!

Wu Jianfeng also stood upright and acknowledged.

He turned and led Wang Ye out of the room, nor saying anything until they reached the ground floor. It wasn’t until Kang Hua and the third-class monitor caught up with them that he spoke, “Alright, let’s go back and grab our belongings!”

Wang Ye had initially assumed they would be staying at the recruit company for the night.

However, that wasn’t the case. After returning to the recruit company to collect their belongings, the vehicle started again. Upon their return to the camp, it headed directly to the fourth company’s station in the corner of the camp.

There were no fanfare, no welcoming gestures, as the lights were already out.

In truth, this year’s other recruits didn’t receive such special treatment either thanks to Deng Hai.

Perhaps that was the regret of this group of recruits.

This is the base of our Fourth Company. It’s quite late tonight. You go back with Zhou Qi first!”

Upon exiting the vehicle, Wu Jianfeng looked at Wang Ye and said this.

Wang Ye stood at attention and nodded. Zhou Qi, who was the third-class monitor, or perhaps now the eighth-class monitor, assisted Wang Ye in carrying his luggage and addressed him.

Let’s go. Our class is on the third floor. We ll head up first. I’ll give you a tour of the camp tomorrow!”

Yes, sir!

Wang Ye followed him.

The lights in the dormitory building were already turned off, but there were a veteran and a recruit on duty at the corridor entrance.

Wang Ye didn’t recognize the recruit, but he had some recollection of the veteran.

Without exchanging words, Zhou Qi guided Wang Ye to the third floor.

Zhou Qi pushed open the door to the second room on the left side of the corridor.

The dormitory was quite dark, but gradually, it became apparent that people were rising from their beds.

Class monitor!”

Class monitor!”

They greeted Zhou Qi one by one. Wang Ye followed behind, taking the opportunity to get a sense of rhe class’s atmosphere.

Well, he didn’t recognize anyone yet.

It appeared that the eighth squad had no other recruits assigned to it.

Wang Ye quietly counted. There were a total of seven individuals in the dormitory, excluding him and Zhou Qi.

In reality, at this moment, those seven were also discreetly assessing Wang Ye.

Was this the new addition?

Pff, pff… Is this the guy who claimed to be the most outstanding recruit in recent years?

Although it wasn’t confirmed which class Wang Ye would be placed in after his combination, they weren’t fools. They suspected that he would most likely join Class Eight.

The reason being, the eighth-class monitor had shouldered a significant burden this time, and even Ye Sanshi might feel guilty about it, so he wouldn’t take Wang Ye away again.

After all, that troublemaker Deng Hai originated from Class Five and then joined Ye Sanshi’s group.

In essence, he had assisted Ye Sanshi in bearing this weight.

Given the circumstances, placing Wang Ye in Class Eight might allow the class monitor to mitigate the impact of this burden through Wang Ye s performance in the upcoming year, thereby allowing him to continue remaining in Class Two.

At this point, everyone was observing Wang Ye, and Zhou Qi was aware of it as well.

Nevertheless, he didn’t say much. After depositing Wang Ye’s bag by his feet, he glanced at everyone and murmured, “Return to your positions!”

Once everyone in Class Eight was standing in front of their respective beds, he looked at them once more and whispered, “Let’s all give a round of applause to welcome Comrade Wang Ye to Class Eight!”

*Clap, clap, clap!

*

in the dead of night, when the lights were already off, clapping and creating a ruckus were not considered polite behavior.

They might even go as far as knocking on the door and causing a commotion.

However, tonight s picket duty wouldn’t be as unorganized.

Certainly, the eighth-class monitor didn’t go to extremes. Upon returning, he didn’t even switch on the lights.

Following the brief applause, Zhou Qi looked at everyone and said, “Let’s all introduce ourselves!”

As soon as Zhou Qi finished speaking, the first soldier on the left, who was slightly taller than Wang Ye, smiled and introduced himself, “Hello, Wang Ye. I’m Qiao Xuan, the deputy monitor of Class Eight, a first-class sergeant, and a post assaulter.”

Deputy!” Wang Ye lowered his voice and saluted him.

Qiao Xuan reciprocated the greeting with a grin. “Relax. Once you join Class Eight, we re all brothers. If you ever need assistance or have any questions in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to me!”

Thank you, Deputy!

Next in line was the second soldier.

Hello, Wang Ye. My name is Zhuo Zicheng, a first-class soldier, and Pm an armored vehicle driver!” He said with a smile, “I’ll teach you how to operate a tank in just two days!”

His words made the two recruits at rhe back of the class feel a twinge of envy.

As expected, he was rhe top recruit’s direct downline!

Such special treatment.

Recalling how they had left the company earlier in the day, it was fine if there was no formal welcome ceremony.

The veterans didn’t even crack a smile upon seeing them. They merely introduced themselves briefly, addressing them as “that recruit.”

In fact, the treatment was nothing like this for the other recruits. They were simply referred to as “that new recruit…’1

Whereas Wang Ye received such special treatment, with greetings and detailed introductions before even introducing themselves.

The deputy class monitor offered assistance for any needs, and the armored vehicle driver voluntarily offered to teach Wang Ye how to operate an armored vehicle.

In fact, the other veterans that followed did the same.

Before their uniform self-introductions, they all began with a friendly greeting to Wang Ye.

During their introductions, they mentioned their names, ranks, and positions willingly.

Among the seven individuals, three were first-term sergeants, two were first-class soldiers, and rhe remaining two were recruits.

There were machine gunners, armored vehicle gunners, rocket launcher operators, and a spitfire operator.

After everyone finished their introductions, Wang Ye saluted again and addressed the group, “Hello, everyone. Pm Wang Ye, and I hold the rank of private.”

He he, Wang Ye, would you like to try our the machine guns? Why don’t you be my assistant?

A man’s adventure isn’t complete without some machine gun action.

You’ll be my deputy, and you can have some fun with the machine gun when we’re firing,” the sergeant who was the machine gunner suggested with a smile.

However, before he could finish, Zhou Qi interrupted him. “Alright, let’s discuss assignments tomorrow. Let’s not get into that tonight.

Wang Ye, that’s your bed. I ll help you with your luggage. Unpack your backpack quickly. If you want to freshen up later, there’s a hot water bottle in the dormitory. Just use that.”

Okay, class monitor, 1’11 go grab some cold water later!”

Wang Ye needed to wash up. He had been in his shoes all day and wasn’t fatigued. He couldn’t be like some new recruits who were so exhausted they simply fell asleep without washing up.

Soon, the dormitory fell silent. Zhou Qi instructed everyone to lie down on their beds.

Wang Ye began to unpack his backpack next to his new bed.

It’s worth noting that the beds here were different from the iron bunk beds in the recruit company. They were single beds, with one bed on top and a cabinet beneath.

After Zhou Qi had helped arrange Wang Ye s luggage, he noticed the small yellow basin Wang Ye had just taken out.

I’ll fetch you some water.

Hey, class monitor, i can do it myself!

Wang Ye quickly halted him.

Wang Ye knew he couldn’t act too presumptuous. Despite his previous experience, he was still a recruit, and he was fully aware of his place in the hierarchy.
