Chapter 340: Joining the Recognaissance Company
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the office, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
Wang Ye didn’t know what to say.
Now he understood why the platoon leader acted this way when he first arrived.
It’s like meeting an old enemy!
Jiang Nan looked at Wang Ye and said, “I don’t know why the chief of staff decided to assign you to our platoon.
But since you’re here, I have no choice but to accept it.
As for which squad to join, 1 think you probably don’t know anyone on our side either.
How about this, I’ll call some people down, and you can take a look at which squad you’d like to join.
What do you think?”
Jiang Nan didn’t force Wang Ye to go to a particular squad, and he didn’t immediately assign him to the squad where Wang Ye had helped break the eggs for those two soldiers. Instead, he let Wang Ye choose for himself.
It must be said that although Jiang Nan’s expression wasn’t good right now, the treatment he offered was still quite good.
“Alright!” Wang Ye nodded in agreement.
Wang Ye didn’t hesitate either.
He was afraid that if he was too polite now, Jiang Nan might casually assign him to a squad, or worse, directly put him in the squad with those two soldiers he had helped before. What if that happened?
Although Wang Ye wasn’t afraid, it would definitely be awkward if he ended up in a squad like that.
“Sounds good!”
With a nod, Jiang Nan went out with the whistle in his hand.
“Huhu!”
“Upstairs, come down for assembly!” Outside, as soon as Jiang Nan went out, he blew the whistle to call the soldiers.
Inside the room, the instructor looked at Wang Ye and smiled, “Don’t blame the platoon leader, he probably feels embarrassed to see you again, after all, you know what happened back then!”
“Hehe! I didn’t expect to come to the Second Company myself!” Wang Ye smiled awkwardly, but in his heart, he once again cursed the chief of staff.
“Haha, since you’re here, well, we’re going out too. You can choose a squad by yourself later!” After the instructor finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
Immediately, Wang Ye hurriedly picked up his bag and followed.
At the same time.
Outside, soldiers were quickly running out of the corridor.
There weren’t many people left.
Previously, there were at least dozens of people who were sent by Jiang Nan to run, so now there might not even be enough people for a full squad coming down for assembly.
Currently, Wang Ye followed the instructor to one side, and under the command of a platoon leader, they quickly formed a line in front of Jiang Nan.
“Each squad, reorganize the formation as a squad!”
Jiang Nan gave the order directly.
Immediately, the formation in front of Jiang Nan started to move.
Several officers walked out, and the remaining soldiers began to reorganize.
In no time, there were eight squads in front of Jiang Nan.
The largest squad had five members, while the smallest had only two.
Wait, scratch that, the smallest squad was empty.
Because there were only eight squads here, according to the standard organization of a basic platoon with three squads in a platoon, this was clearly not right.
Of course, at this moment, Wang Ye didn’t know whether this reconnaissance platoon itself had only eight squads in its organization.
He didn’t ask, he just watched.
At this moment, Jiang Nan also looked at Wang Ye.
“Take your pick, any squad is fine, it’s up to you!”
Wang Ye looked around, and at this moment, the soldiers in the formation were also looking at him, with some even winking at him.
Although Wang Ye had embarrassed the Second Company before.
But it was just a minor incident.
The ones who felt really uncomfortable were those two soldiers who had their eggs broken by Wang Ye and their squad leader.
Other squad leaders wouldn’t be too uncomfortable, and they wouldn’t be unclear about the situation at this moment.
Wang Ye’s arrival, from the current situation, seemed to be a fait accompli.
In this situation.
If Wang Ye goes to another squad, he will definitely have to endure additional training.
Instead of that, it’s better to stay in his own squad.
At least, in his own squad, Wang Ye’s performance will also reflect on the squad as a whole, and as a squad leader, he will certainly benefit from any success Wang Ye achieves.
Well… to put it simply, in everyone’s eyes, Wang Ye may be a weirdo, a symbol of suffering and torment, but at the same time, he’s also a big asset.
Think about the previous competition.
That guy showed off so much, if he were in his own squad, as the squad leader, it would definitely be a sure thing to win the year-end evaluation, right?
“This one then!”
Wang Ye pointed his finger.
It was the squad closest to him.
He took a look, there were four people in this squad, and there didn’t seem to be any familiar faces inside.
Mainly, the guy in the squad had just winked at him.
Wang Ye felt that he probably wasn’t the squad leader of the soldiers he had offended earlier.
“Hehe, okay, Wang Ye, I’m the squad leader of Squad One, my name is An Ping, welcome to join Squad One!”
Without waiting for Jiang Nan to speak, the squad leader at the head of the squad immediately smiled and spoke to Wang Ye. In the next moment, he stepped out of the formation and helped Wang Ye with his bag.
Seeing this, Jiang Nan felt a bit awkward and a bit annoyed.
“That groveling bastard!” In his heart, Jiang Nan couldn’t help but mutter.
Isn’t it just Wang Ye?
Doesn’t he know that he had a conflict with his own squad earlier?
I just gave him a hard time earlier, and now with his current appearance, where should I put my face?
Feeling a bit frustrated, but at this moment, the instructor looked at him and smiled, then said to Wang Ye and Squad Leader An Ping, “Alright, since Wang Ye is going to Squad One, An Ping, take good care of Wang Ye, okay?”
“Yes! i promise to complete the mission!” Squad Leader An Ping had just taken Wang Ye’s bag, and when he heard the instructor’s words, he immediately smiled and saluted the instructor.
“Alright, everyone, let’s applaud and welcome Wang Ye to join our Second Platoon!”
At this point, the instructor spoke to the others standing over there.
“Clap~clap~clap~”
Applause rang out.
Then, Wang Ye followed Squad Leader An Ping, who had forcefully helped him with his bag, and returned to the back of the formation of his squad.
“Dismiss!” Watching Wang Ye join the squad, Jiang Nan didn’t say any other words.
With just two words, he directly disbanded the formation.
As he spoke, he turned and walked back towards the office.
The instructor smiled at his behavior and then looked at Wang Ye.
He nodded at Wang Ye, and then didn’t say anything more.
He and a few other platoon leaders who had just stepped out of formation followed Jiang Nan’s pace.
Wang Ye wasn’t a true newbie, and Squad Leader An Ping could tell by his demeanor that there was no way anyone would dare to bully Wang Ye.
If that’s the case, why say anything?
For now, they would leave it at that, and any other matters could be discussed later, at least after the run.
Suddenly, the cadre members left, and the formations of the other squads loosened, but they didn’t leave.
They were all looking in Wang Ye’s direction.
“Alright, what are you all looking at? Doesn’t Wang Ye know you?” At this moment, Squad Leader An Ping shouted to the soldiers from the other squads.
After saying that, he turned back to Wang Ye and smiled, “Come on, Wang Ye, let’s go upstairs!”
He picked up Wang Ye’s bag.
Wang Ye nodded with a smile, “Alright, thanks, Squad Leader!”
“No need to thank me, from now on, we’re all brothers in the same squad!”
Squad Leader An Ping grinned, and some of the other three members of Squad One either remained silent or chuckled.
But regardless of their reactions, Wang Ye immediately followed Squad Leader An Ping upstairs.
Yes, after the disbandment, the others remained standing without moving, just watching Wang Ye follow Squad Leader An Ping upstairs.
Of course, the three remaining members of Squad One also followed.
On the second floor, the dormitory on the far left facing south.
Wang Ye followed An Ping inside.
“Come on, Wang Ye, it just so happens that the lower bunk in my bed is empty. I’ll give you that one, and I’ll sleep on the upper bunk. Wait a moment, I’ll move my bedding!”
In a reconnaissance company, they actually slept in bunk beds, which surprised Wang Ye.
But now, hearing An Ping’s words, Wang Ye quickly stepped forward and stopped him from moving his backpack.
Hey, Squad Leader, there’s no need. I can sleep on the upper bunk just fine!”
He wasn’t a real newbie.
In the military, generally speaking, some squads would have veterans sleep on the upper bunk to take care of the new recruits, as a kind gesture.
Of course, that was usually for other veterans.
The squad leader’s position was usually on the lower bunk near the door for ease of management.
And An Ping’s bed was like that too.
However, An Ping thought that Wang Ye wouldn’t be completely unaware of social norms.
Understanding human relationships was still important.
At this moment, Wang Ye took his backpack and tossed it onto the upper bunk.
Now, when Wang Ye took his backpack and tossed it onto the upper bunk, he smiled at An Ping and said, “Actually, the upper bunk is quite comfortable, and the lower bunk can be a bit cramped. Squad Leader, just let me sleep on the upper bunk!”
“Hehe, alright then!” Seeing Wang Ye say that, An Ping didn’t refuse.
He turned to look at the other three soldiers who had come in with them.
Then, he spoke to Wang Ye again, “Wang Ye, don’t rush to settle in. Come on, let’s introduce you to your fellow squad members!”
“Yes!
Wang Ye smiled and nodded, then turned to the other three soldiers and saluted, “Hello, Squad Leaders!”
Surprisingly, all three of them were non-commissioned officers.
One was from the second batch, and the other two were from the first batch, in addition to Squad Leader An Ping, who was also from the second batch.
Wang Ye didn’t know the remaining soldiers in the squad, but by now, he had already noticed something.
In the Division Reconnaissance Battalion, the proportion of non-commissioned officers was quite high. When he looked outside earlier, he hardly saw any lower-ranked soldiers. Most of them were non-commissioned officers.
Of course, in the previous wave of arrivals, there seemed to be more lower-ranked soldiers.
People were more enthusiastic when it came to spectating…
“Hello, Wang Ye, I’m the Squad Leader for Squad One’s Prisoner Capture Team, my name is Cai Huayu,” the second batch soldier who came in first greeted with a smile.
“Hehe, Wang Ye, just call him ‘rookie,’ it’s easy to remember!” At this moment, another first batch soldier next to him chuckled and added.
Immediately, Cai Mingyu kicked him quickly in the butt.
Well…not too hard.
“Don’t be disrespectful!”
Cai Mingyu gave him a stern look.
After scolding him with a laugh, he turned to Wang Ye again and said, “Don’t mind him, you can call me ‘Hawk.’ I’m the one who soars in the sky and is always ready to capture prey!”
“Yes, Squad Leader!”
Wang Ye replied with a smile.
At this moment, Wang Ye was actually a bit surprised again in his heart.
As soon as he entered the Reconnaissance Platoon, he came into contact with a position he had never encountered before.
Prison Capture Team.
It sounded quite impressive!
“Hehe, Wang Ye, hello, I’m Qiu Shuang. As for my role, I’m the Firepower Suppression Specialist.”
The first batch soldier who had received a kick earlier introduced himself with a smile.
“Hello, Squad Leader Qiu!” Wang Ye smiled and responded to him again.
“Firepower Suppression Specialist? Just means he shoots a machine gun!” Cai Huayu teased him.
Then, the first batch soldier who had just been kicked introduced himself.
Finally, An Ping had a few words with Wang Ye again.
Squad One currently had nine people, and with Wang Ye, they totaled ten.
But right now, there were still five of them running freely on the training ground..
