Reborn as an Armed Police Officer: I Became an All-Round Soldier King Through Duty

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Zhengwu didn't try to hide it.

"Did you know about early promotion to sergeant?"

"The brigade has one or two early promotion slots every year."

Zhou Heng nodded.

"I know that, but isn't there an educational requirement for early promotion?"

"You need at least a college diploma. Although I retained my undergraduate enrollment, I never actually attended school!"

"I know."

Zhao Zhengwu looked at Zhou Heng.

"You're only 19, you definitely don't have a college diploma."

"But you have a second-class merit award!"

Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat.

"Second-class merit... counts too?"

Zhao Zhengwu looked at him in surprise.

"Of course it counts! Don't you know how prestigious a second-class merit is?"

"The basic requirement for early promotion is one year of service, and the minimum educational requirement is a full-time junior college degree."

"Those who are re-enlisting or have special skills can also apply."

"But what about you?"

"I won't even mention the second-class merit award; you also have a commendation from the brigade headquarters. Just in terms of that commendation, none of your fellow soldiers can compete with you."

"Not to mention the second-class merit award, what do they have to compete for?"

"And I remember there weren't many highly educated people in your batch of soldiers, were there?"

"Are there any graduates from 985 or 211 universities?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment.

"Probably not."

"Among our batch of soldiers, many have junior college degrees, and only a few have bachelor's degrees."

Zhao Zhengwu nodded.

"That's right."

"They don't have an advantage in terms of academic qualifications."

"Selection is based on a combination of qualifications."

"Education is a threshold, but honors and daily performance are the basis for the organization's consideration."

"Especially in your situation."

"Undergraduate records have been retained."

"They're still young."

"As long as you don't let us down in the future, the brigade will definitely focus on developing you."

Zhou Heng felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he listened.

This is not a simple promotion.

This is a leap forward!

How could a conscript possibly compare to a non-commissioned officer?

Zhao Zhengwu continued:

"Of course, I'm not telling you all this so you'll feel safe right now."

"On the contrary."

"This is to motivate you to work harder!"

Do you understand?

Zhou Heng immediately sat up straight.

"clear."

Zhao Zhengwu's tone became more serious.

"There are few spots available for early promotion to non-commissioned officer, and the competition is fierce."

"Some people might even resort to 'special' methods."

If these methods don't work, those people might target you.

"You need to prepare for this in advance."

Zhou Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

He naturally understood what the chief of staff meant.

Nearly 300 soldiers of the same year were vying for one or two spots.

It is indeed very difficult!

"Of course, if you really encounter such a thing, you can report it to Officer Yao. He is also in charge of the political work and discipline inspection in our detachment."

Officer Yao nodded.

"Yes, you can contact me anytime."

Zhao Zhengwu then continued:

"No matter what, your military training level cannot drop."

Zhou Heng nodded.

"yes!"

After a while, Zhao Zhengwu asked again:

"What are your future career plans?"

"Should I stay with the team long-term or...?"

Zhou Heng nodded.

"chief of staff."

"I want to stay in the military."

Zhao Zhengwu was not surprised.

"Changgan?"

"Yes."

Zhou Heng said earnestly:

"I think this place suits me very well."

"And I want to keep doing it."

Zhao Zhengwu nodded.

"understood."

He then fell silent, and Zhou Heng was momentarily unsure of what he meant.

Isn't being promoted ahead of schedule just a way to secure a long-term position?

in the afternoon,

The brigade sent a car to take him back to the squadron. As he got into the car, Zhao Zhengwu gave his final instructions:

"When you get back to the squadron, don't tell anyone what I told you."

"You know it yourself, just keep it in mind."

"Do you understand?"

Zhou Heng immediately straightened up.

"clear!"

Around 3 p.m., Zhou Heng returned to the squadron.

As soon as I got off the bus, the team leader and instructor came to greet me.

Huang Shan glanced into the car.

"Isn't the chief of staff here?"

"He didn't come; he went back to his unit."

Huang Shan nodded.

It's fine as long as the chief of staff isn't here.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the driver, Huang Shan took Zhou Heng back to the classroom.

The classroom was currently doing a thorough cleaning.

As soon as Zhou Heng and Huang Shan entered, Fang Lin shouted.

Holy crap!

"Zhou Heng!"

"You're finally back!"

Fang Lin's shout immediately stopped everyone in the class from doing anything.

Li Meng was mopping the floor.

Upon hearing the sound, I looked up and my eyes lit up instantly.

"Zhou Heng!"

Zhang Wei also peeked out from behind.

"You're back?"

Before Zhou Heng could speak, Fang Lin had already rushed over.

He circled around Zhou Heng.

"Where's the plaque?"

"What about the interview?"

Are there any beautiful female reporters?

Zhou Heng: ...

Huang Shan stood at the door, speechless.

"Fang Lin!"

Upon hearing the captain's voice, Fang Lin turned his head in alarm.

No?

When did the captain arrive?

"Captain, I..."

Huang Shan didn't argue with him, put Zhou Heng's things down, and left.

But that look in his eyes...

Something felt off.

After the captain left, Zhou Heng asked curiously:

"Where's the class monitor?"

"Why haven't I seen him?"

Li Meng chuckled and said mysteriously:

"The class monitor went to study!"

"what?"

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

"What are we reviewing?"

Zhang Wei walked over with a rag.

"Review the exam content."

"The promotion assessment for Squad Leader Bao is in two weeks. Whether he can serve a full 12 years depends on this."

"So the squadron gave him time to prepare in advance."

Zhou Heng then realized what was happening.

Yup!

Bao Cheng will be transferring to Phase 3 this year.

If I don't pass this promotion assessment

Then I'll have to leave the military.

He had been so busy with his own things that he almost forgot about it.

"Where is the class monitor studying?"

"Study room".

"These past two days, apart from their regular shifts, these veterans who have completed their full service have been there most of the time."

"I heard the brigade is being particularly strict this time!"

Zhang Wei nodded as well.

"This is what the third phase is like."

"It's a hurdle in itself, and the quality of this batch of soldiers under Squad Leader Bao is too high."

"Many people stayed in the team and took up positions in various companies, mostly as squad leaders."

"The competition is extremely fierce."

"With Squad Leader Bao's abilities, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Zhang Wei shook his head.

"The main problem is that there are too many subjects."

"Theory, physical fitness, professional knowledge, and drill command will all be tested."

"I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."

Zhou Heng nodded.

"When will the squad leader be back?"

Li Meng thought about it.

"Before dinner."

"He's been coming home right on time these past two days."

"But I don't think there's anything to worry about. With the class monitor's abilities, he's definitely got it covered!"

"I'll ask anyway, I'll go check!"

"I'll go too!"

Fang Lin was about to follow when Zhang Wei stopped him.

"You can't do it!"

Fang Lin was puzzled.

"Why, class monitor?"

"With your foul mouth, I'm afraid you'll ruin Squad Leader Bao's mood!"

Fang Lin: ...
