Many days have passed since the last exercise ended, and the recruits have also recovered. Every day is the same, except for rest and training.
The Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, which was supposed to be training in full swing today, was quiet.
Seeing this, Chang Ning ran to Lao Pao and asked, but Lao Pao waited for a long time and replied with three words: No, I don't know, and I don't know.
The comrades in the class also looked at him strangely.
"Why do I feel like everyone is hiding something from me?"
Chang Ning sat on the pony and looked thoughtful.
After a while, a troop transport truck drove in outside the station. Then Miao Company, neatly dressed, walked out of the company headquarters with Xiaozhuang, who was also wearing regular clothes.
Immediately afterwards, the squad leaders of each squad ordered the soldiers to put on their regular clothes and board the train.
Chang Ning, who had already made some guesses, saw this movement and became more and more sure of his inner thoughts.
The troop carrier quickly parked directly in the small auditorium inside the regiment headquarters. There were not many people in the company anyway, so this small auditorium was enough.
Chang Ning followed his comrades and directly opened the door of the auditorium and walked in. When he opened the door of the auditorium, Chang Ning saw many familiar people. He knew all the company commanders.
Chang Ning had been in contact with them when he was in the recruit company. Before there was news that he was the squad leader, these company commanders all wanted to take him under their command.
The Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company was the last company to arrive at the regimental auditorium. Under the guidance of a dedicated person, they sat in their seats. The entire auditorium was quiet without any noise.
Everyone straightened their backs and sat in their seats waiting for the leaders to speak.
After about a few minutes, several school-level officers in uniforms walked onto the stage, and there was a burst of warm applause.
It was really an extremely warm applause, and everyone clapped excitedly.
The colonel standing in the middle was the leader of the Grand Regiment. He pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet, and gradually the auditorium became quiet again.
"Comrades, I won't go into details about the reason why everyone gathered here today. Next, everyone welcomes Chang Ning, a platoon and squad of soldiers from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, to the stage!"
The applause this time was louder than before. Maybe it was because he was with the Yehu Reconnaissance Company. Chang Ning felt that the applause from the Yehu Reconnaissance Company was the loudest.
Chang Ning brought too much honor to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company in this exercise, and there is nothing wrong with him receiving warm applause.
Chang Ning felt a little moved in his heart. Although he was only a recruit who had joined the army for less than a year, this special feeling actually appeared in him.
Seeing Chang Ning in a daze, Chen Guotao, who was sitting next to him, expressed his understanding. After all, Chang Ning was only a 19-year-old young man.
At Chen Guotao's reminder, Chang Ning carefully arranged her attire, then stood up and walked to the stage in front.
"Wow!" Chang Ning stood at attention and saluted the two leaders on the stage, and then gave everyone a military salute.
The applause became even more enthusiastic. It was not until the political commissar standing on the podium spoke that everyone's applause gradually became quieter.
If Chang Ning can't react at this moment, there's something wrong with his brain!
‘I’m going to give myself a military medal!’
Chang Ning was excited just thinking about it. Military medals are something that can only be seen on TV.
He will have one after today, and looking at the situation, he will have to start with a second-class skill no matter what!
"What are you waiting for? Come here." The political commissar smiled and then said.
This kind of reaction is what a new recruit should have. Chang Ning's performance in the exercise made everyone ignore his age and military experience.
"yes!"
After hearing the political commissar's words, Chang Ning came back to his senses.
He took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, put down his saluting hand, and walked towards the political commissar and group leader.
When he walked up to the two leaders, the leader's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Chang Ning!"
The regiment leader spoke loudly, and the expressions of all the soldiers below became serious.
"arrive!"
"The commendation order of the Southeast Military Region will be read below!"
At this time, the group leader gave Chang Ning a serious look.
Then he took out an order directly from behind his back.
Seeing this, Chang Ning took a deep breath and immediately stood up straight. The most important moment came next.
"...because Chang Ning has fought bravely since joining the army, breaking records many times in daily training, and turning the tide of the battle in exercises.
I would like to give first-class credit to Comrade Chang Ning for his outstanding performance in the exercise!..."
When the head of the group finished speaking, the entire auditorium burst into even more enthusiastic applause!
You must know that this is first-class merit, first-class merit in peaceful times!
Everyone in the army even secretly made up a jingle: third-class meritorious service is received standing, second-class meritorious service is received sitting down, and first-class meritorious service is received lying down!
I really thought this was a joke!
Almost most of the meritorious officials who have won first-class merit have died, and those who can win first-class merit alive are really very few. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare!
Now Chang Ning has received first-class merit as a 19-year-old recruit!
This is such a rare and proud thing.
With a "pop" sound, Chang Ning stood at attention, saluted, and then took the first-class merit certificate and the red box containing the medal from the regiment leader's hand.
"The political commissar will announce the promotion order issued by the military region."
The group leader smiled and glanced at Chang Ning, then returned to the political commissar with a face full of relief. The next step was the political commissar's work.
The political commissar walked up to Chang Ning and took out the second document in front of him.
"... Comrade Chang Ning of our military region, who complies with relevant regulations and conditions, is granted the rank of second lieutenant. He is assigned to the administrative rank and will be sent to relevant colleges and universities for training..."
After the political commissar finished announcing the document, there was another burst of warm applause from the bottom of the stage.
After the applause, the political commissar personally replaced Chang Ning with the rank of second lieutenant in public.
Chang Ning himself was a little excited at this time, because after these two commands were announced, the long-lost system panel in his mind was once again projected onto his retina.
But now was not the time to look, so he closed the system panel.
"You guys can do it. Your military rank will be the same as mine in no time."
When Chang Ning returned to his seat, Chen Guotao sighed in front of Lao Pao, Xiao Zhuang and Xi Wa.
After saying this, Chen Guotao couldn't help but laugh.
Chang Ning's first-class merit will also add to Chen Guotao's resume. In the future, his superiors will consider this situation when he is promoted.
"Chen Pai, from now on my military rank will be as high as yours." Chang Ning said with a smile.
"You brat, no matter how high your rank is, I will still be your platoon leader! You still want to overthrow the world!" Chen Guotao also said with a smile.
There was nothing special to do next. After listening to the political commissar's words of encouragement to the whole group, the meeting was over.
After returning to the reconnaissance company, the Miao company ordered another meal to celebrate.
After eating and drinking, Chang Ning's life became monotonous and boring again.
Every day is still a normal training, but the only difference from before is that after completing the basic training, he will now explain his gun usage experience to all the soldiers in the reconnaissance company.
After returning to the barracks after training in the evening, Chang Ning lay on the bed and closed his eyes. As his mind moved, the system panel immediately appeared in his mind.
"Name: Chang Ning"
"Age: 19 years old"
"Stamina: 400/??? (The physical strength of an average adult male is 100)"
"Rifle shooting: 100/100↑(upgradeable)"
"Knife Skills: 100/100 (cannot be upgraded)"
"Sniper rifle shooting: "95/100 (Do you want to spend 100 merit points to upgrade?)"
"The host received first-class merit, the military rank was promoted to second lieutenant, and the merit value increased by 100 points!"
"Do you want to upgrade the system?"
"Note: The level of this system is linked to the military rank of the host. Please work hard for the host!"
'I wonder what changes this system upgrade will bring to me?'
Chapter completed!
