Chapter 334 Wang Hao: Just an ordinary recruit. [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
Salute, as the most widely used and important etiquette among soldiers, has many detailed provisions in the regulations.
In what occasions should one salute? When two soldiers meet, who should salute first? And so on.
Simply put, if a soldier takes the initiative to salute another soldier, there are only two possibilities.
Or, the other party's level is higher than yours.
Or, the person involved thinks that the other party’s military qualities are better than his own!
Obviously, Zhao Weihong now belongs to the second situation.
Even if Wang Hao's brain was stuck in the door frame, he would definitely not think that Zhao Weihong, who had completed the registration procedures, would be higher in rank than the lieutenant colonel who was responsible for the registration of new students.
Then the lieutenant colonel’s attitude is very interesting.
Having been at HKUST for so many years, Wang Hao has met countless young talents.
But he had never seen the teachers and leaders of the University of Science and Technology look at any student, especially the new students, differently, and they always looked stern.
Because this is HKUST.
HKUST gathers top talents from all over the world!
The soldiers and cadres who are looked up to by ordinary people are just "ordinary people" on the campus of USTC. There is nothing strange about them.
To stand out in such an environment and gain the favor and appreciation of teachers and leaders is even more difficult than to be promoted based on your qualities at the grassroots level!
However, at this moment, Wang Hao witnessed with his own eyes a scene that he had previously thought would never happen!
"Comrade Zhao Weihong, I've heard a lot about you!"
“Welcome to HKUST!”
After Zhao Weihong put down his hand in return of the greeting, the lieutenant colonel immediately exchanged a few words with Zhao Weihong, then stood up and shook hands with Zhao Weihong. His intention to be close to her was obvious.
Faced with the lieutenant colonel's exceptional enthusiasm, Zhao Weihong, who was accustomed to dealing with leaders of far higher ranks than himself, behaved neither arrogantly nor humbly.
But when he shook hands with the lieutenant colonel, he calmly spoke his true feelings.
"Commander, thank you for the compliment."
"If you don't mind, just call me Wei Hong."
"It seems that the term comrade is not popular in our university. It is not used very often."
Considering that I'm new here.
Zhao Weihong, who has always been generous in expressing his thoughts, used a more euphemistic statement to explain what he saw and heard along the way after arriving at USTC.
Tell the truth.
Zhao Weihong was actually a little disappointed.
Perhaps due to her own experience, in Zhao Weihong's eyes, USTC has a double filter of "university" and "army", and it is a place that Zhao Weihong extremely yearns for.
Originally, Zhao Weihong was looking forward to her four years at USTC.
But after meeting Wang Hao and others, Zhao Weihong suddenly felt that she was not so looking forward to it anymore.
If all students at USTC were like Wang Hao, it could only be said that USTC, which looks like a university but is actually a military unit, is somewhat different from the "military unit" in Zhao Weihong's memory.
The soldiers here are quasi-cadres and future officers.
He can't even stand the title of "comrade" and must call him squad leader. His class consciousness is simply too high!
If they were to become chief officers in the future, who knows how they would show off their power!
Zhao Weihong was puzzled because he had seen many cadres who graduated from USTC.
But I've never seen anyone as arrogant as Wang Hao!
Maybe there are some things that Zhao Weihong doesn’t quite understand?
With this in mind, Zhao Weihong did not express his unhappiness directly.
Otherwise, based on Zhao Weihong's temper, he would have taught Wang Hao and others a lesson at the gate of USTC just now!
Can't stand the term "comrade"?
How about the former three-service patrol officer, the father of the 347th Regiment, a double first-class meritorious contributor, and the "national talent" handpicked by Deputy Commander Wei, to give you a good introduction to the meaning and application of the title "comrade"?
The words Wang Hao just used to educate Zhao Weihong can be completely applied to himself.
How come he has learned all those bad habits when he hasn't even become a cadre yet?
Although Zhao Weihong's tone was already very "tactful".
But his answer still made the lieutenant colonel stunned. After a moment, he said with a suspicious look on his face.
"Wei Hong, what are you talking about!"
"The grassroots are the army, and our university is also the army!"
"Why can't we use the term comrade?"
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden "thump" sound from the office, instantly interrupting the lieutenant colonel's unfinished words.
Zhao Weihong and the lieutenant colonel looked in the direction of the voice at the same time, and saw Wang Hao slumped on the ground, sweating profusely.
The "majestic and domineering" appearance that he had shown in front of Zhao Weihong had disappeared.
Instead, there is a panic of "walking on thin ice and sitting on pins and needles"!
Oh no!
Wang Hao never expected this!
The first day of school. No, school hasn't even started yet. He thought that all his hard work had paid off and that he could finally show off his power as a "senior" in front of the new students, but then he ran into the hardest steel plate among the new students of this year!
In the dark.
Wang Hao had a hunch.
Just now, the other students mentioned that the new student who was personally recruited by the president of the University of Science and Technology and competed with the land commander
It is very likely that it was Zhao Weihong who was standing in front of him at this moment and seemed to be holding a grudge!
I have to say, Wang Hao's sixth sense
It’s pretty damn accurate!
However, he just realized this now, and it was obviously a little late.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of Zhao Weihong and the lieutenant colonel, Wang Hao, who was sitting on the ground with cold sweat pouring down his face, closed his eyes in despair and wanted to die!
It’s over!
"Why haven't you left yet?"
He glanced at Zhao Weihong's expression.
The lieutenant colonel seemed to have guessed something, but did not get angry. He just looked at Wang Hao deeply, waved his hand as if to drive away a fly, and spoke impatiently.
"Stop being an eyesore and get out of here."
"I will take over Wei Hong's registration work from now on. I will personally take him to the dormitory later."
"Hurry up and do what you should do!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Haoru felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stood up and crawled away, trying to leave in a panic.
"stop!"
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Wei Hong before leaving?"
"As a senior, is this how you set an example for the new students?"
Wang Hao: “.”
All of a sudden.
Wang Hao suddenly remembered the scene when he was lecturing Zhao Weihong at the school gate.
If time could go back, Wang Hao really wanted to swallow back all the words he had said, and by the way, give himself a hard slap in the face!
Why are you talking so much nonsense for no reason?
It’s a pity that time cannot be reversed.
Once you say something, you can't take it back.
Whether Wang Hao could accept it or not, he had offended Zhao Weihong greatly.
And then, he will spend a whole year with Zhao Weihong as her squad leader.
When Wang Hao thought of this, his eyes suddenly turned dark and he almost collapsed to the ground again!
Sin!
"Comrade Zhao Weihong,
"No, squad leader."
Looking at Wang Hao with a smile.
Zhao Weihong used the kindest tone to say the words that made Wang Hao most desperate.
"You should just call me the new recruit."
"Like you said, I have to know my place."
"."
Looked at the "amiable" Zhao Weihong.
He looked at Wang Hao again, who was trying to remain calm but whose legs were shaking uncontrollably.
The lieutenant colonel pondered for a moment, then suddenly jumped into the air and kicked Wang Hao out of the door with a big kick!
"roll!"
Wang Hao stood up and didn't even bother to wipe the footprints on his uniform, and he didn't dare to feel resentment towards the two people who still stayed in the room. He fled from this place that made him feel "sad". To be honest, Wang Hao should really thank the lieutenant colonel for kicking him out now.
Because if Zhao Weihong says a few more words, it won't be a problem that can be solved by just kicking her!
Stumbled back to the school gate.
As soon as Wang Hao saw his group of bad friends, he subconsciously wanted to curse them!
If it weren’t for you bunch of bastards causing trouble, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!
But after a moment, Wang Hao seemed to have thought of something and quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Hey? Are you back?"
Seeing Wang Hao coming back so quickly, the other students present carefully observed Wang Hao's expression, trying to find some clues from his expression.
But after seeing what happened just now, Wang Hao's psychological endurance and expression control ability have improved a lot, and he didn't let this group of students who were with him day and night notice anything.
Not noticing anything unusual in their expressions, these third-year students who just wanted to have fun with the new students had no choice but to ask Wang Hao.
"How's it going? Did you figure out the kid's background?"
"Looking at his behavior just now, I guess he's not someone you can easily mess with. You're going to have a hard time for the next year!"
Looking at the bunch of bad friends in front of me.
Wang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, he spoke very calmly.
"nothing."
"Just an ordinary recruit."
in the office.
The lieutenant colonel bent over the desk, repeating actions such as signing and stamping.
Soon, the lieutenant colonel completed the last procedure for Zhao Weihong to report - transferring the food relationship.
This also means that from now on, Zhao Weihong is an official student on the record of USTC.
From now on, Zhao Weihong’s monthly allowance will be paid by USTC, and food expenses and other expenses will also be paid from USTC’s account.
This is probably the only "disadvantage" of promotion.
If Zhao Weihong was transferred to a non-commissioned officer, then at the end of this year, he should start receiving a salary instead of an allowance. Thirteen or fourteen thousand yuan a month is considered a "high salary" in those days, plus he will enjoy the thirteenth salary and the "three insurances and one fund" benefits.
Given Zhao Weihong's frugal nature, she can use this money to start thinking about buying a house.
But after becoming a student, Zhao Weihong still received a "allowance" of a subsidy nature. Although the amount had increased, he could still get less than 200 yuan per month, less than a fraction of the salary of a non-commissioned officer, let alone an officer.
Zhao Weihong will have to endure such days for four whole years before she can start receiving a salary.
Obviously, this system will undoubtedly cause troubles for those soldiers who come from poor backgrounds and want to change their family circumstances by serving in the army or even getting promoted.
In this age where everything is about money, talking about the future and development is often not as effective as talking about treatment.
This may sound a bit too "realistic", but it is also an indisputable fact.
In Zhao Weihong's previous life, it was not until the end of the 1910s that soldiers who were admitted to officer and non-commissioned officer schools were given "salary supplement" after graduation.
You will receive normal allowance while in school.
After graduation, the assigning unit will pay four years' salary in one go based on the person's current rank and grade, which is roughly around 200,000 yuan. This can be considered a disguised way of helping the person save money.
However, this policy obviously has nothing to do with Zhao Weihong now.
If Zhao Weihong didn't have much pressure in life now, he might not be able to concentrate on studying in this military academy.
It is said that children from poor families can change their destiny by joining the army or getting promoted.
This is true.
But before changing your destiny, the first thing you have to endure is living with less than 200 yuan a month for four or even six years.
This may not seem like a big deal.
But for many children coming from rural areas, what they need to consider may not be the future.
But the present moment.
Fortunately, although Zhao Weihong came from a poor family.
But thanks to his own efforts, the family's conditions have improved a lot.
My father became the village chief. During this period, under the guidance of experts, he led the villagers of Zhaojia Village to become self-reliant and strive to get rid of the label of "poor village".
I heard that the growth of crops this year is quite encouraging.
With the support of policies, Zhaojia Village does not have to worry about sales channels, and crop profits can also be guaranteed. It is said that new houses will be built for Zhaojia Village next year.
Zhao Weihong really doesn't need to worry about family matters now.
His top priority now is to calm down and study hard in the military academy, strive to gain a foothold in the army as soon as possible, and let his parents live the life he once promised.
"Okay, Wei Hong, the formalities are complete."
“Welcome to HKUST!”
The lieutenant colonel's voice brought Zhao Weihong back to reality from his thoughts.
After taking a closer look at Zhao Weihong, the lieutenant colonel couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration.
It really is worthy of the fact that the principal personally stepped forward to grab the double first-class award.
There is hardly any student at USTC who can compare with Zhao Weihong in temperament. Standing in front of Zhao Weihong, they can only serve as his foil.
I went over Zhao Weihong’s “legendary” deeds in my mind.
A smile that showed the excitement of watching the trouble slowly appeared on the lieutenant colonel's face.
The next four years will be fun!
"Wait for me to call, then I'll send you clothes and take you to the dormitory."
As he spoke, the lieutenant colonel picked up the microphone of the red landline phone in front of him. After a moment, he suddenly spoke very respectfully.
"Yes, Zhao Weihong is here."
"Yes Yes!"
"Let's go, Wei Hong."
After hanging up the phone, the lieutenant colonel stood up first and walked towards the door.
"Someone wants to see you."
see me?
After thinking carefully for a moment, Zhao Weihong didn't expect that he knew anyone in USTC.
Seeing that the lieutenant colonel had walked to the door in a hurry, Zhao Weihong didn't ask any more questions and could only follow him quickly.
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the door of an office that looked very low-key.
"go in."
"I won't tell you anything else. I'm sure you understand."
"Come find me when you're done. I'll be waiting here for you."
"Sorry for your trouble!"
After thanking the lieutenant colonel, Zhao Weihong knocked on the office door at the lieutenant colonel's urging.
"Knock, knock, report!"
"Enter!"
In Zhao Weihong's impression, this voice was particularly unfamiliar.
Somehow.
Hearing the answer coming from the office, Zhao Weihong, who was used to big scenes, felt a little nervous for no reason.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Weihong gently touched the door handle.
The moment he entered the room, Zhao Weihong subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sign hanging just above the office door.
