Chapter 434: First Class for the Scout Soldiers

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wu Jianfeng knew that Wang Ye was assigned as the second platoon leader.

However, he didn’t expect such a commotion behind him as soon as he turned around.

What’s going on here?

In his opinion, it would be nice if Wang Ye just didn’t secretly throw rotten eggs from the rooftop.

After all, Wang Ye and the reconnaissance soldiers weren’t exactly on friendly terms.

Over the past year, the reconnaissance soldiers who used to walk with pride within the battalion, now, even if they returned from outside adventures, they hardly dared to stroll around the camp area, fearing that others would point and whisper behind their backs.

But what’s the situation now?

Is Wang Ye really this popular?

“What’s going on with you guys?”

On Wang Ye’s side, at this moment, Wang Ye was actually a bit confused too.

He originally thought these were someone else’s soldiers.

It’s midday, and instead of taking a nap, they were standing downstairs enjoying the sunshine.

And now he just realized that these soldiers should be his own.

Moreover, it seemed that these soldiers were not in the best condition!

“Report, we’ve been waiting for the platoon leader!”

In the formation, a soldier from the second platoon spoke loudly. As he spoke, sweat on his face splashed around with his words like droplets of saliva. “Hmm?” Wang Ye was puzzled.

“What do you mean?

What do you mean by ‘waiting for so long’?

When did you guys start standing here?”

“I had them stand here since morning!” At this moment, a voice came from the direction of the dormitory corridor.

Wang Ye turned and immediately saw someone coming down the stairs at the side of the dormitory corridor.

He walked briskly over.

Standing at attention and saluting, he said, “Hello, Company Commander!”

Although Wang Ye hadn’t communicated with him before, he recognized him and had seen him more than once.

Fu Wei returned the salute and extended his hand to Wang Ye. “Well, Wang Ye, welcome to the Criminal Investigation Company!”

Wang Ye shook his hand, but in the next moment, he turned to look at the soldiers lined up outside the building and asked, “They’ve been standing here since they got up?

Haven’t they had their meals yet?”

Wang Ye was genuinely surprised at this point.

He hadn’t expected the Criminal Investigation Company to arrange something like this.

“Yes, the regiment commander instructed me to report to the Criminal Investigation Company after completing my training in the New Recruits Platoon. However, I didn’t rush here immediately, so I made a brief stop at the Fourth Company,” Wang Ye explained.

He hadn’t anticipated that his actions would lead to the reconnaissance soldiers of the second platoon standing there since morning.

“No, they haven’t,” Fu Wei said, releasing Wang Ye’s hand. He then turned to look at the soldiers and continued, “But they won’t starve. Compared to the shame they brought to the Criminal Investigation Company, missing a meal or two is nothing. If they could contribute to the company like you, Wang Ye, and continuously bring honor, I can go without food for a day, two days, or even three days!”

At that moment, the soldiers of the second platoon standing there all lowered their heads.

They couldn’t deny the fact that they had brought shame to the Criminal Investigation Company.

Wang Ye cleared his throat, thought for a moment, glanced at them, and then turned to Fu Wei. “Company Commander, now that I’m here, can I give them orders?”

“Of course!” Fu Wei nodded and spoke sternly, “From now on, you’re the second platoon leader.”

“Very well!” Wang Ye nodded, then turned and walked in front of them.

“All attention!”

Immediately, all the soldiers of the second platoon raised their heads, no longer bowing in shame.

“Left face!”

“To the canteen, double time, march!”

Wang Ye didn’t actually know where the Criminal Investigation Company’s canteen was, but it didn’t matter. He gave the orders, and they understood.

The formation started running.

Wang Ye stayed back for a moment, with his backpack on his back and luggage in hand, and approached Fu Wei again. “Company Commander, I assume there’s food left in the canteen?”

“There should be,” Fu Wei replied, appearing rather composed.

In reality, of course, they had left food. They even kept breakfast for him. They just didn’t know when Wang Ye would arrive.

Looking at Wang Ye, Fu Wei spoke again, “Let’s go; I’ll take you to the dormitory now.”

“Company Commander, can I make a quick stop first?” Wang Ye hurriedly added.

“Hmm?” Fu Wei looked puzzled.

“I’d like to go to the canteen first!”

As he spoke, Wang Ye placed his backpack and luggage on the ground.

Looking at Wang Ye, Fu Wei remained silent for a couple of seconds.

“Alright, come to the second-floor office when you’re done.”

Fu Wei didn’t say anything else. If Wang Ye wanted to go see the second platoon, that was his prerogative. After all, Wang Ye was now the second platoon leader.

“Yes!” Wang Ye saluted crisply.

After the salute, Wang Ye smiled again and said, “Thank you, Company Commander!”

With his thanks given, Wang Ye turned and swiftly followed the second platoon’s formation as they ran off.

Meanwhile, at the Second Battalion headquarters, the Second Battalion commander was on the phone, holding his breath as he spoke.

“No… Regiment commander, why do we have to change the arrangement again? I only agreed to let Wang Ye go to the Criminal Investigation Company, but you didn’t tell me it was a direct transfer!”

“I said it’s a transfer, not a loan!” came the Regiment commander’s voice over the phone.

Immediately, the Second Regiment commander became anxious.

“No, Regiment commander, a loan is acceptable, but Wang Ye belongs to my Second Battalion. We can’t do a direct transfer!”

“Do I need your approval for this? Am I the Regiment commander or are you?” The Regiment commander’s tone left the Second Regiment commander speechless for a moment.

This was a clear exercise of authority, and there was little the Second Regiment commander could do about it.

The Second Battalion commander sighed helplessly and said, “Regiment commander, it’s not like that. Others might be catching rabbits in the grass, but you’ve caught the rabbit and then moved the rabbit away. It’s a bit excessive!”

“What’s excessive about it? Wang Ye’s relationship has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Company now. When the time comes for the military academy, he’ll have more options. You can’t let your personal reasons hinder Wang Ye’s future!” The Regiment commander defended his decision..
