If it's a formal transfer, then you'll bring your personal belongings and go to report for duty in your regular uniform. The new unit's military or logistics department will then issue you a new set of uniforms according to the established staffing.

If you are discharged from the military or transferred to civilian work, all your active duty insignia and uniforms must be removed and handed over, such as rank insignia, cap badges, collar insignia, chest badges, and armbands.

Of course, in these kinds of situations, cats have their ways and mice have theirs. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Each unit and each person has different methods, so I won't go into details. After all, even privates have their own ways of coordinating the transfer of senior colonel uniforms after retirement.

The reason for the requirement to hand over uniforms with special insignia for active duty is that the Military Uniform Management Regulations and Internal Affairs Regulations clearly stipulate this.

Military uniforms and insignia must not be sold, lent, or circulated in society. This is to prevent impersonation, leaks of secrets, and to prevent anyone from impersonating military personnel or using them for illegal activities, thus maintaining the seriousness of the military's image.

This is also to prevent the leakage of information such as unit numbers, deployments, and organizational structures, and to protect military secrets.

The reason why common equipment is left when troops are transferred between units is to prevent the loss, confusion, and duplicate distribution of equipment.

All units are equipped with uniform models and batches. If soldiers are transferred and take them with them, it will cause a shortage of personnel in the original unit. In addition, the soldiers themselves are not in line with the principle of streamlining transfers because the blankets are large and take up a lot of space when they are transferred over long distances.

However, in TV dramas, this kind of treatment is often used to make the shots look better and achieve artistic effects.

Backpacks and blankets are the most iconic image of soldiers. As long as they carry these two items, anyone who sees them can tell at a glance that the soldier is going far away and is going to a new place. If they actually went empty-handed in reality, the scene wouldn't look good and it would lack flavor.

Wu Liuyi carried the blanket for two reasons: first, the notice instructed him to bring the blanket, and second, he was willing to bring it himself.

Although Wu Liuyi, Cheng Cai, and Xu Sanduo have passed the selection, they are not yet fully transferred. They are currently going to a training camp, so they naturally still need to bring their own blankets.

And then there's this thing, anyone who's been in the military understands. It's not being sentimental, it's just that I really have an emotional attachment to my old quilt, and it's still very useful.

The old quilt is something that has been a wear and tear since basic training. It has been folded, pressed, and repaired for several years, accompanying us through guard duty, exercises, field training, and field exercises.

Those were people who genuinely shared sweat, rain, and blood with him, and many even drew maps together—a much more thorough bond than that of comrades-in-arms.

Especially when going to training camp, it's good to bring your old blankets so that your belongings are easy to tidy up. Otherwise, if you bring a new blanket, you'll have to put in a lot of effort to tidy it up every day, so how can you concentrate on training?

Many veterans even bring their old blankets home when they retire, taking with them what they can. It's a very ceremonial way of saying they're bringing the discipline, style, and spirit of the military home with them.

What you can't take with you when you get home, many of you are used to folding your blankets into neat squares.

Zhang Anbang, along with Wu Liuyi, bid farewell to Hua Zinan and Jiang Wei and left the headquarters of the First Mechanized Infantry Company.

Only after getting into the vehicle did Zhang Anbang finally let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing this, Wu Liuyi couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Deputy Company Commander, are you feeling the pressure?"

Zhang Anbang glanced at Wu Liuyi, who was laughing loudly, and said, "What are you laughing at? I don't know your company commander and political instructor. I don't have that kind of relationship with the company commander."

"This is my first time poaching people, can't I feel a little pressure? What, are you laughing at me?"

Wu Liu denied it repeatedly, "No, no, how could I dare? Deputy Company Commander, if it weren't for that long sigh you just let out, I wouldn't have been able to tell at all. Really, Deputy Company Commander, you are this."

As he spoke, Wu Liuyi gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Anbang nodded. "That's more like it. Take your car and head to the 702nd Regiment. You know the way, right?"

Wu Liu nodded. "I know this road very well."

To fulfill the old company commander's entrustment, he has made many trips to the 702nd Regiment in the past six months, averaging at least one trip a month to the Steel Seventh Company's garrison. How could he not be familiar with it?

The base of B Regiment was not far from the base of 702 Regiment, and Wu Liuyi was eager to get home, so he quickly arrived at the headquarters of 702 Regiment.

Zhang Anbang opened the car door and got out. He glanced to the side and was completely dumbfounded. What the hell?

Just then, a lieutenant colonel got out of the car next to him. It was none other than his current superior, Lieutenant Colonel Yuan Lang.

Yuan Lang leaned against the car, grinning as he looked at Zhang Anbang and waved.

Zhang Anbang immediately greeted him with a grin, "Oh, squad leader, what a coincidence to run into you here! I was wondering why I heard magpies calling this morning. So that's what it was. How delightful!"

Yuan Lang grinned back, "Really? My deputy squadron leader, I also heard magpies chirping early this morning. Is it possible we were together this morning?"

Zhang Anbang scratched the back of his head. "Hey, is that what it is? I forgot. By the way, squad leader, shouldn't you have already finished coordinating with Commander Wang by now?"

"After all, I've already picked up everyone here, but judging from your movements, it seems you just arrived."

"Oh," Yuan Lang said, as if he had just remembered something. "On the way, my car got a little thirsty, so I found a small river and took it to drink some water."

"We arrived right after you, and I just stopped my car when you came. Isn't that a coincidence?"

As he spoke, Yuan Lang stepped forward and patted Zhang Anbang on the shoulder, "Let's go, perfect timing, let's go and hand over the reins to Commander Wang together."

Zhang Anbang's face fell when he heard this ridiculous reason. He really wanted to say, "Squad leader, can you come up with a more plausible reason, even just a little bit plausible one?"

They finally managed to trick Yuan Lang, but they ended up being ambushed. However, considering the attitude of Commander Li of Group B, Uncle Wang probably won't say anything.

After all, I remember that Uncle Wang was always very magnanimous in the story.

Listening to their conversation, Wu Liuyi awkwardly turned his head. Honestly, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, but thankfully he stopped himself in time.

Because Zhang Anbang turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

"Let's go, let's go," Zhang Anbang gestured for them to pack up, "Let's finish the handover as soon as possible and secure the profits early."

……

After a standard procedure, the three entered Wang Qingrui's office.

Wang Qingrui exchanged a few pleasantries with Yuan Lang, then turned to Zhang Anbang and said with a smile, "You little rascal, not only did you leave, but you also kidnapped three of our 702's elite soldiers."

Your dowry is quite heavy.

Seeing Wang Qingrui's smiling expression, Zhang Anbang felt relieved and knew he would have to give Yuan Lang a good talking-to later.

Look, look, look at my Uncle Wang's attitude! This is what it means to be broad-minded, humble, and magnanimous.

My Uncle Wang is the most accurate description of these words.
