Chapter 346: "Friends"
The system of the Galaxy Defense Force is clear, and there are a total of 3 levels of soldiers, private, medium, and upper.
Among them, the recruits who have just served are in the rank of private, and those who have served for one year and performed excellently, or who have served for two years and have not violated discipline, are promoted to lieutenant soldiers.
Lieutenant soldiers are qualified to manage a combat squad of 10 people, and those who are skilled in combat and command well have the opportunity to be promoted to private.
After becoming a soldier, he has the qualification to command three combat teams on the battlefield, and after achieving a certain amount of meritorious service, he can take a qualitative step, break away from the ranks of soldiers, and be promoted to officer.
The officers of the 'Union Defense Force' are divided into 13 ranks, namely, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, one-star general, two-star general, three-star general, and general.
The rank of sergeant and lieutenant is a low-ranking officer, the colonel rank is a mid-level officer, and the general rank is a high-ranking officer.
In order to conform to the prevailing values of the entire universe, although soldiers from low-level interstellar civilizations were discriminated against in the Galactic Alliance military, Zhang Chujiu, who was an extraordinary person, still obtained the most basic officer status, corporal.
And this is also the 'standard' of the alliance's military reserve engineer, in fact, according to the double blessing of the two identities of transcendent and creation expert, he should at least be treated with the rank of sergeant, or even sergeant.
Sit on a giant interstellar armed troop carrier as large as a city, with spacious communal cabins.
Looking at the pitch-black, empty space, the huge stars, and the dazzling celestial halo through the observation window, Zhang Chujiu, who changed into the uniform of the 'Alliance Defense Force' and wore a crossed long blade symbolizing the rank of 'corporal' on his shoulder, closed his eyes boredly.
On the surface, he is very leisurely, but in fact, he secretly calculates in his heart, "I have been sailing for more than 70 hours, and I have carried out 6 wormhole shuttles, and I have not yet reached the southwest frontier."
At such a distance, even if I can transform into a fully embodied outer god, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to fold the space and 'descend' back to the Blue Star." ”
The army is strictly hierarchical, although the recruits don't know much about military regulations and are young and vigorous, but after all, they are adults who understand the stakes, and the soldiers in the common room saw Zhang Chujiu, a newly promoted officer, closing his eyes and recuperating, and his voice was obviously much lighter.
It wasn't until a young man with a height of more than 200 centimeters, burly as a brown bear, and also with the rank of a young sergeant suddenly broke into the lounge, looked around, and saw Zhang Chujiu in an officer's uniform in front of the lookout window, strode over, patted Zhang Chujiu's shoulder, and Zhang Chujiu came back to his senses in shock.
Giant armed troop carriers don't carry soldiers from just one civilization.
After Zhang Chujiu opened his eyes, he looked up at the big young man in front of him, and from his wide earlobes and straight eyebrows without any arc, he recognized that he should be from the interstellar mid-level civilization Modan, so he frowned and asked in fluent Motan dialect: "Is there something wrong, peer?"
"You're also from Motan. Hearing this, the big young sergeant showed a kind expression on his face, and grinned: "I didn't expect to meet my fellow countrymen after being dispersed, I'm so lucky, hahahahaha." ”
When Zhang Chujiu heard such idiotic words, he couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly: "Peer, look at my ears and eyebrows, do you look like a Motan?"
"Hey, yes, why did your ears and eyebrows become like this?" The big young man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Zhang Chujiu carefully and said in puzzlement, and then said with a suddenly realized expression: "Oh, you have plastic surgery."
I've heard that many people have plastic surgery before going to college to make it easier to fall in love, but I didn't expect that there was also this rule before the service.
Really, why didn't anyone tell me, those guys are so unreliable, saying that everything was prepared for me, but forgetting the most important thing..."
"Peer, don't talk to yourself, okay," Zhang Chujiu touched his forehead weakly when he heard this, interrupting the croaking of the big man in front of him, "I don't have plastic surgery, and as far as I know, any civilization in the Galactic Alliance does not have the custom of plastic surgery before service."
The reason why I am like this is because I am a native of the Blue Star, but I am only proficient in the language of your Motans. ”
The big corporal was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Zhang Chujiu with a demented expression and said, "The translator has long been able to translate the language and writing of any civilization in the universe to achieve instant communication.
Why do you, an alien, 'take off your pants and fart' and go to the trouble of learning the language of our Motans?"
These words made Zhang Chujiu dumbfounded, and he was speechless for a while.
"Hey, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, people sometimes make mistakes, and I'm often like that. Seeing his stunned appearance, the big young man suddenly sighed, patted Zhang Chujiu's shoulder in understanding, and said in relief, and then stretched out his fist according to the galactic general etiquette, "My name is An Luodidi."
Everyone is a young sergeant, let's make friends. ”
Although it feels like the only logical relationship between 'all young men' and 'make a friend', 'those of equal status can hold together' seems a bit of a philistine.
But Zhang Chujiu is not a flexible person who doesn't understand, and after a little heaning, he clenched his fist and touched An Lodidi's fist, "It's nice to meet you, my name is Zhang Chujiu." ”
"The name of the 3 syllables, what a tongue twister. Hearing this, An Lodidi muttered, suddenly grabbed Zhang Chujiu's arm and pulled him up from his seat, "Since we are friends, I have to take you to meet the eldest brother and eldest sister."
The Southwest Frontier Military Region is not a good place, in addition to evil creatures, it is also full of star thieves and criminals who have escaped from all over the universe, strange native beasts, dangerous places, and so on.
If you don't hug a big thick leg, you may not even be able to live the first year. ", and walked towards the door of the common room.
Zhang Chujiu was about to break free from An Luodidi, but when he heard these words, his heart moved, and he let him pull himself out of the lounge.
The two walked in the metal tunnel of the spaceship, which was more than 15 meters in diameter, and the soldiers they encountered avoided it.
As he walked, An Lodidi suddenly asked as if he remembered something: "By the way, Zhang Chu, are you a professional soldier who has signed a 'professional contract', or a conscripted soldier who has served for a period of time and is automatically discharged?"
"I'm a non-professional soldier. Zhang Chujiu replied succinctly: "In addition, my name is Zhang Chujiu, not Zhang Chu." ”
"If you don't sign a career contract, it's not easy to be promoted, and it's easy to let the chief be cannon fodder. An Lodidi looked at Zhang Chujiu with sympathetic eyes, "I hope you can retire, friend." ”
