"No wonder people wear casual clothes for important occasions. Even Gatou looks so handsome in them."
Yu Jun looked at He Dong who was squeezing in front of the mirror and couldn't help but chuckle.
He Dong turned around and snorted, "Brother is already handsome, it's just covered by the fat on his body!"
The squad leader also changed into a casual uniform. This was the first time they saw the squad leader in casual uniform. The straight clothes made his face, which was as black as charcoal, look much better.
"Why are you all so conceited? Why are you so slow? Hurry up and have breakfast, then go to the brigade auditorium for the inauguration ceremony!"
After the squad leader changed his leather shoes, he gave instructions to everyone.
Today is the last day of the recruit company. There are no small duty shifts arranged, and the meals in the cafeteria are prepared by the cooking team who get up early.
Everyone quickly lined up and followed the monitor downstairs.
The new recruits in the company all changed into brand new uniforms and were on their way to the canteen.
Perhaps it was because the new clothes gave them a boost of confidence, and they all walked with pride.
I wish I could lift my head up to the sky.
It’s a pity that there are no girls in the army, and no one appreciates their beautiful looks…
After breakfast, they boarded the military vehicle that had been parked outside the canteen gate early and headed to the brigade headquarters.
Three companies, with a total of more than 300 people, gathered in the auditorium.
The brigade auditorium is a large tiered classroom. The seats are like stairs, rising step by step, ensuring that when everyone sits in their seats, their view will not be blocked by the people in front of them and everyone can see what is happening on the stage.
On the cleaned stage, there was a big red banner with the words "28th Red Star Brigade Recruit Company Awarding Ceremony" written in large letters.
As more than 300 people found their seats, the brigade commander walked to the center of the stage, glanced at everyone, and shouted loudly: "Hello, comrades!"
All the recruits shouted: "Hello, Brigade Commander!"
The sound was deafening, like thunder, and the windows around the auditorium shook a few times due to the sound.
The brigade commander nodded with satisfaction and said, "After three months of recruit training, you have all grown a lot and have become what a real soldier should be!"
"I am very pleased. Looking at your energetic faces, I seem to see myself back then."
"But I am old now. The future of our country belongs to you young people!"
The brigade commander's voice was stirring and vigorous, and it clearly entered everyone's ears, making everyone's blood boil.
This is both an encouragement from the predecessors to the successors and an expectation for them.
The brigade commander continued, "Although you have been in the military camp for three months, in the first three months, you can only be regarded as a paramilitary at best."
"From today on, you are already an official soldier. I hope that each of you can remember your mission, shoulder the responsibility of a soldier, and serve the motherland!"
"No matter which post you are going to take, no matter how difficult your task is, you must shine in your post and contribute to the national defense of our country!"
After the brigade commander finished speaking, everyone was excited and shouted loudly:
"yes!"
"Okay, I declare that the investiture ceremony officially begins!"
As the brigade commander finished speaking, he stood on the far left side of the stage. The company commander went up and stood beside him, followed by the platoon leader and the squad leader.
The new recruits in the rows and squads followed closely behind, walked onto the stage, and received their respective private ranks and national defense armbands from the brigade commander.
They then handed the military ranks and armbands to the company commanders, platoon leaders and squad leaders, who personally put them on the recruits.
After the first row finishes, the second row goes up, and so on.
Soon, all the recruits wore the rank of private with a folded bar, as well as a national defense armband surrounded by golden wheat ears and with the August 1st red star embroidered in the center.
The moment the military rank and armband were put on, a sense of mission arose spontaneously and my blood was ignited at this moment.
This military rank and armband are like a key to open the door to their hearts. From this moment on, they are real soldiers, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the motherland's territory and the people's happiness!
As the last squad was awarded ranks, all the company commanders, platoon leaders and squad leaders withdrew. The brigade commander stood back in the center of the stage, looked at the delighted crowd, and shouted loudly:
"Comrades, for soldiers, there is only war time and war preparation time. Are you ready?"
Everyone opened their mouths and shouted out their full blood and anger: "Always be prepared!"
After the awarding ceremony, everyone got on a military vehicle and returned to the recruit company.
The awarding ceremony was held in the morning, and the assignment of subordinate companies began in the afternoon.
Since the awarding ceremony did not last long, it was not yet lunch time when they returned. Everyone returned to the dormitory, sat on their own small stools, and stared blankly with nothing to do.
Squad leader Li Long looked at the faces of the people and gave a helpless smile. "Okay, let's chat for the last minute. After the afternoon assignments are completed, we will all go our separate ways."
He Dong asked with a worried look on his face: "Squad leader, do you have the assigned list? Do you know where I should go?"
During the assessment, He Dong's results were the worst in the class, and he is the one who is most worried now.
If I really go to a pig farm, I will really live on pigs for the next two years.
The squad leader rolled his eyes at him and said, "The platoon leader is not even qualified to see that list, so where can I see it? If you really want to know, go ask the company commander."
He Dong immediately shrank his head.
How could he dare to ask the company commander? He was not a pioneer like Chen Ming. If he really went, the company commander would at most tell him to get lost.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to go out and do something."
The squad leader stood up, said something to everyone, and walked out the door.
After the squad leader walked out, He Dong quickly clasped his hands together:
"Don't go to the pig farm, don't go to the pig farm. Dear gods, which spirit on duty can help me? I, He Dong, am willing to donate thirty kilograms of meat, just ask you not to go to the pig farm."
He Dong kept praying. In the whole class, he was the one most likely to go to the pig farm.
Chen Ming rolled his eyes at him and said, "Fatty, there's no point in you praying now. If you wanted to pray, you should have prayed during the assessment so that your grades would be better. Why are you nagging me now? It's annoying."
"That's right." Yu Jun came up and interrupted, "Besides, which god would be interested in you offering thirty kilograms of fat? I would find it too tempting."
He Dong felt so ashamed by what they said that he sighed, put down his hands, and quickly changed the subject:
"It's a pity that the army can't connect to the external network. Otherwise, even if we are assigned to other companies, we can still go to the computer room to log in to QQ and contact each other during weekends and rest days."
After joining the company, there are not so many things to do. You don’t have to be sneaky when going to the computer room on weekends. As long as it doesn’t affect other things, you can stay in the computer room for a whole day.
I just don’t know if there will be like-minded teammates who like playing games in the new company.
If we can chat on QQ and share our stories with each other, it can be considered an opportunity to renew our friendship.
Otherwise, if they are separated for more than one or two years, even if they are discharged from the army, their feelings will fade and they will become restrained from each other, which would be a real pity.
Many relationships cannot withstand the test of time, but at this moment, they are really reluctant to lose this newly established friendship.
Moreover, in 2008, using QQ to chat online was a very fashionable thing. Many young people could even chat with netizens they had never met for a whole day.
Online dating these days is real online dating, and most people’s minds are very pure.
Unlike later generations, there are so many scammers on the Internet that you can’t even tell whether the person on the other end is a cute girl with a sweet voice, or an old uncle who picks his toes and uses a voice changer.
Everyone felt regretful when they heard what He Dong said.
Two years later, things and people have changed. I wonder if we can still talk about each other's embarrassing stories without any scruples after we get out.
After all, once the feelings fade and conversations become stiff, it means that the friendship is basically over.
Chen Ming looked at the expressions of the crowd, and an idea suddenly occurred to his mind. He quickly said, "It's not a big problem. I will make a software that can communicate with each other through the intranet and implant it in the computers in each computer room. Then we can communicate online."
Chen Ming went to the Information Department, where he faced computers every day and had advanced hacking skills, so it was no problem for him to create a small communication software.
At that time, they just need to open the folder, find the software, create their own exclusive ID account, and then they can chat with each other.
Even if it's only one day a week, we can still chat without any barriers, and at least the relationship won't fade away so quickly.
After hearing what Chen Ming said, several people were stunned.
Yu Jun blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Deputy Ban, you can also make software? It must be very difficult!"
Chen Ming thought to himself, I even hacked into the intranet, this is nothing.
"It's not difficult. You just need to modify the email software and it will be done." Chen Ming explained briefly.
With comprehensive and advanced hacking skills, creating a communication software is a piece of cake.
And it uses the intranet, so there is no need to sign any contracts with traffic providers, it is very simple! .
Chapter 52: Assignment to the next company, go ahead, brothers!
"I didn't expect the class vice-chairman to have this ability. No wonder the Information Department is vying for him."
He Xue finally understood why the pretty chief of the Information Department tried to poach Chen Ming again and again.
He Dong thought for a moment, "I heard that the production of such large software is very time-consuming and usually requires a lot of programmers to control the background, otherwise it will easily crash. Ban Fu, can you do it alone?"
Chen Ming looked at He Dong in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid knew so much, but he still explained:
"It is only used within the military. It is not a big software. It is only provided to internal personnel of the military. The scope of use is small, so there is no need to worry about server overload."
For example, QQ is a thing that is used by almost all young people in the country. It has a huge base, and operating the server is naturally very energy-consuming and requires many programmers to supervise it day and night.
But Chen Ming didn’t plan to make it so big. It was just a small software attached to the intranet, so generally there wouldn’t be any big problems.
"Speaking of which, people who don't come into contact with this kind of problem usually don't understand it. What, have you learned about it before?"
Chen Ming looked at He Dong. Logically speaking, this fat guy He Dong should not be aware of this kind of programming content.
