Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 20 It's alright! Brother Chu, I've got your back! [Please read on! Please comment!

Seeing Chu Zhao's bewildered expression, the new recruit opposite him did not restrain his enthusiasm. Instead, he adopted the posture of an "experienced person" and spoke earnestly to Chu Zhao.

"After you got on the bus, you just sat there silently without saying a word."

"What's wrong? Missing home?"

"It's okay! Once you get to the army and train for a few days, I guarantee you won't be able to think about anything else. You'll just be looking forward to going to sleep every day!"

The recruit opposite him seemed to be deliberately controlling his tone, trying to appear calm and reliable.

But the strong sense of showing off in his expression was impossible to hide!

Seeing this, Chu Zhao narrowed his eyes and immediately became interested.

"Does training make you stop missing home?"

How did you know about this?

Chu Zhao's question seemed to have hit the recruits right where it hurt.

He casually crossed his legs and answered in a seemingly nonchalant tone.

"That's because I served in the military, of course!"

Good guy!

Re-enlistment?

As the name suggests.

Re-enlistment refers to the act of enlisting again after being discharged from the military.

Having served in the army for ten years, Chu Zhao had never actually seen a new recruit who had enlisted twice!

Ultimately, the reason is that "re-enlisting" presents many inconveniences.

If you can't bear to leave military life, why retire? Wouldn't it be better to just become a non-commissioned officer?

of course.

There are also cases where people have to leave the military because of the limited number of promotion slots.

These veterans who were forced to retire are unlikely to choose to re-enlist for the sake of a "non-commissioned officer dream".

the reason is simple.

Regardless of whether it's a second enlistment or several enlistments.

As long as you didn't go through the "special recruitment program" and instead followed the normal military enlistment process, you can re-enlist.

After enlisting, no matter how many years you served before, you have to honestly serve two more years of compulsory military service before we can talk about anything else!

If you want to become a non-commissioned officer, you need to serve four years of compulsory military service before you can become a first-term non-commissioned officer!

Not only that.

After re-enlisting, these new recruits will not receive preferential treatment in their current units simply because they have served in the military before.

They have to do the same things as normal new recruits, and even have to call soldiers who enlisted later than them "veteran" or "squad leader." The psychological gap they have to bear is unimaginable.

Many squad leaders also dislike new recruits who have enlisted twice.

Just look at the performance of this new recruit opposite Chu Zhao, and you'll know.

Because he had served in the army, he couldn't understand that he was just a new recruit now. He always tried to act like a veteran and even dared to go against his squad leader!

Who could like a soldier like that?

Chu Zhao had always been very curious.

What kind of "ruthless person" could be so willing to serve as a conscript for four whole years?

Today he finally got to meet one!

With this in mind.

Chu Zhao immediately used a perfectly timed tone, offering a slightly admiring compliment.

"Oh, so you're a veteran!"

"No wonder you know so much!"

That word "veteran" went straight to the recruit's heart, causing him to lose his composure and his face to show an expression of smugness!

"Oh! You even know how to call someone a veteran!"

"It seems someone in your family served in the military!"

"This is fate!"

"My name is Li Jiahao, so we're acquainted now!"

Looking at the other party's extremely smug expression.

Chu Zhao, feeling playful, quickly waved his hand and said modestly.

"My name is Chu Zhao. I'm the first person in three generations of my family to join the army."

"I had heard a few stories about the military before, and that's how I came to have some understanding of it."

"Unlike you, veteran, who understands the ins and outs of the military so well!"

The words fell.

Li Jiahao tried his best to control the curve of his lips, feeling like he was about to float to the sky!

Yes! That's it!

Li Jiahao was looking forward to this feeling of "showing off in front of others"!

Li Jiahao was initially hesitant, unsure whether his decision to "enlist a second time" was the right one or the wrong one.

But after seeing Chu Zhao's adoring expression, Li Jiahao realized that he had made the right move!

"Hey! Brother Chu, don't worry!"

"Because of those 'veteran' words you uttered today, I'll have your back when you get to the army!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao's expression suddenly froze.

He had assumed that the negative stories he had heard about "re-enlisted" recruits were just prejudice.

But after exchanging a few words with Li Jiahao, Chu Zhao realized it.

Prejudice... well, it all has a prototype!

Before even entering the camp, Li Jiahao already considered himself a veteran and declared that he would protect Chu Zhao.

Once he gets to the army, won't Li Jiahao be able to ride on the head of the squad leader and sit on equal footing with the commanding officer?

Don't you go to heaven?

However, Chu Zhao did not reveal his thoughts.

The road ahead is long, and there's nothing else to do but idle around.

It was rare to find such an interesting person to chat with, so Chu Zhao was happy to chat with him a little longer to pass the time.

"Thank you, veteran!"

After thanking Li Jiahao for his "generosity," Chu Zhao suddenly looked puzzled and asked Li Jiahao curiously.

"By the way, veteran."

"Given how much you know, you must have been exceptionally talented at your old workplace!"

"Why didn't you stay and become a non-commissioned officer? Instead, you chose to enlist again?"

Chu Zhao originally just wanted to tease Li Jiahao.

Unexpectedly, his question seemed to touch on Li Jiahao's painful memories, causing the once cheerful Li Jiahao to show a very disappointed expression the next second.

"Don't even mention it."

"If my old unit had even remotely resembled a military unit, I wouldn't have had to enlist a second time!"

"When I first enlisted, I didn't know anything, and I ended up being assigned to the Armed Police Force as a firefighter!"

Mentioning the past.

Li Jiahao became more and more excited as he spoke, completely unaware of the increasingly strange expression on Chu Zhao's face!

"I was thinking, let's just leave it to the fire department."

"Since I'm going to be a soldier anyway, it doesn't matter where I am."

"After two years, it really ruined my life!"

He saw Li Jiahao looking at him.

Chu Zhao raised the corners of his mouth, slowly revealing a kind and approachable smile.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Chu Zhao seemed very interested, Li Jiahao, who was already itching to get started, poured out all his grievances.

"Brother Chu, you have no idea!"

"I served in the army in Northeast China. The summers were unbearably hot, and the winters were unbearably cold!"

"As a result, the fire department I was in, which was called the military, only allowed me to handle a gun once during live-fire training in basic training."

"I've been waiting so long for this assignment, I thought I'd finally get to fire my gun, right?"

"We do have guns, but they're water guns!"

"Every day, the training involved either carrying a water pipe or a water pump, climbing stairs repeatedly."

"If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but every now and then they put on a drill for us, letting us play in the water in winter and in the fire in summer, as if they're afraid we'll get too comfortable!"

"I didn't touch a gun again until I was discharged two years later!"

"Tell me, this doesn't look like a military unit at all!"
