In this special collective of the military, whether it is daily training or carrying out tasks, accurate and efficient information transmission is crucial, and the reading of numbers is one of the distinctive features. Different from the ordinary reading methods in our daily life, the number reading method in the army has been carefully designed and standardized to meet the needs of command transmission in various complex environments.
First, start with the smallest number"1"It is pronounced as "幺" rather than "one" in the army, which is more legible and avoids the confusion that can arise in a noisy environment with other numbers such as "one" and "seven" and "two". Similarly, the "2" is referred to as "two" in the troop instead of "two", further enhancing the phonetic recognition.
As the numbers increase, the changes continue. The "3" remains the same as "three", "4" is pronounced as "four", "5" is pronounced as "five", and "6" is pronounced as "six", which is basically the same as the daily pronunciation. But when it reaches "7", it is read as "turn" in the troops, which is vivid, easy to remember and not easy to misunderstand; "8" is still pronounced "eight", but "9" has become "tick", and this conversion is also aimed at improving the speed of information recognition in tense, noisy environments.
As for the "0", it is pronounced "hole" in the troops, a pronunciation that retains the closed circular character of zero and avoids mixing with the "o" syllable. Therefore, a number such as "709" will be quickly and accurately conveyed within the army as a "hook".
In general, the unique numerical reading method in the army is a powerful guarantee for efficient military operations, which embodies the rigorous and orderly spirit of our people and the pursuit of excellence, and also witnesses the scientific and standardized management system formed by our team in long-term practice. Through such a seemingly small but crucial detail, we can deeply feel the unique charm of military life and the core values of discipline and unity of action.
