Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Yanzi, have Yingying bring this carton of milk to school later and share it with her classmates!”
At the residence of the regintal commander, following the wake-up call in the camp, the commander also made his way to the entrance to change his shoes and get ready to leave.
However, his mood soured when he noticed Wu Jianfeng’s carton of milk. He imdiately inford his wife, who was busy preparing breakfast for their daughter.
“Heh, weren’t you not planning to deliver it?”
The commander’s wife chuckled and inquired,
“If you don’t consu it now, it will go to waste when it expires!” The regintal commander didn’t elaborate any further. In fact, he genuinely felt that way.
“Mm, alright!” The regintal commander’s wife smiled and concurred.
She was already aware of the story behind the carton of milk.
They were even acquainted with the na and accomplishnts of this recruit, Wang Ye.
Before long, the regintal commander donned his shoes and stepped outside with a thermos flask in hand.
He was gearing up to head to the regintal headquarters for a new day of work.
“One, two, one!”
Through the wall, catching the sound of the bugle call from the camp, the commander’s slightly dampened mood from encountering the carton of milk earlier was revitalized.
After a few minutes of jogging, the regintal commander reached the camp gate.
However, at this precise mont, he halted in his tracks.
This was because he spotted soone standing there.
The Chief of Staff was without his cap. He stood by the gate, gazing over.
As soon as he saw him, he also noticed the regint commander.
Promptly, the Chief of Staff jogged over.
“Regint Commander!”
“What brings you here?” The regintal commander inquired, puzzled.
“Regint Commander, there’s sothing 1 need to discuss with you!”
“What is it?” The commander’s deanor shifted, adopting a serious tone.
He surmised that sothing must have occurred. After all, the Chief of Staff had been waiting for him by the gate even without wearing his cap.
At this juncture, he couldn’t fathom why the Chief of Staff hadn’t called his ho or dispatched a ssenger to notify him in case of an ergency. Instead, he chose to wait by the gate.
However, at that mont, a vehicle pulled up at the camp gate. Subsequently, an individual hastily disembarked from the vehicle.
Observing the regintal commander and the Chief of Staff not far from the entrance, the person strode toward them.
This spectacle left the sentries at the gate flabbergasted.
What was unfolding?
Had sothing significant occurred today?
rely two minutes had elapsed since the sentry had been stationed, and already the Chief of Staff was on site.
The regint commander had only just arrived, and the second battalion commander had also arrived in his vehicle.
Naturally, the sentry refrained from asking. Maintaining a solemn expression, they gripped their firearm and stood vigilantly.
“Regint Commander!” The second battalion commander greeted with a grin as he approached and saluted.
After exchanging pleasantries with the regintal commander, he sustained his saluting stance and directed a smile at the Chief of Staff. “Chief of Staff, you’re here as well!”
The Chief of Staff’s countenance bore a palpable sense of displeasure.
He hadn’t anticipated Lin Hai’s swift arrival. The regintal commander had only just gotten there, and already Lin Hai had rushed over.
The regintal commander caught sight of Lin Hai’s grin and then glanced at the Chief of Staff’s somber expression.
This left him even more perplexed.
“Lin Hai, what’s the matter?”
He directed his query straight at the second battalion commander.
“Hehe, Regint Commander, I’ve co to seek your assistance!”
Disregarding the Chief of Staff’s displeased visage, the second battalion commander chuckled and explained.
He wasn’t privy to the conversation that had transpired between the Chief of Staff and the regintal commander, but it didn’t matter. He was here now, and if the Chief of Staff was contemplating drastic asures, he wouldn’t go along with it.
True, the Chief of Staff was older than him.
Nonetheless, he had already consented to this matter, and the Regint Commander had also given his approval. How could he let them backtrack on their word?
“Seeking recognition? What kind of achievent?”
The regintal commander’s confusion deepened.
He was certainly aware of the training protocols within the new recruits’ company, but he hadn’t delved into the specifics.
After all, the individual responsible for the recruits’ company training was Wu Jianfeng’s direct superior, and above him was the Chief of Staff.
For instance, he knew that the reconnaissance platoon had simulated an attack on the recruits’ company the previous night. He knew it was part of the training, but he wasn’t aware of the precise timing and date of the exercise, so he hadn’t inquired.
After all, he held the position of a regintal commander, overseeing the entire regint. Such minor matters could be addressed post-event.
“Hehe, Regint Commander, Platoon Leader of the Recon Platoon personally led his troops in an assault on the new recruits last night!”
At this juncture, the second battalion commander grinned and continued.
Ignoring the Chief of Staff’s unpleased expression, the second battalion commander regarded the slightly taken aback regintal commander and went on, “Platoon Leader Tian and his team fell short. A new recruit on sentry duty detected the advancing scout, dodging his attack and thereby alerting the entire company ahead of ti.
In the end, he even apprehended the attacking Scout!”
In all honesty, at that very mont, the battalion commander’s own expression was even more stunned.
He glanced at the Chief of Staff and noted his sullen countenance, which he didn’t refute.
The regintal commander swiftly inferred that what seed a tad implausible was indeed true.
Of course, he wasn’t the sole person flabbergasted.
Behind them, the sentry gripping his firearm maintained outward silence, but his inner monologue was rife with expletives.
Damn, what a surprise.
What explosive news!
The Recon Platoon leader personally orchestrating an assault on the recruits of the new recruits’ company. The operation failing and one perpetrator captured alive.
Incredible!
That recruit was incredible!
Truly incredible!
Even the Recon Platoon had their off days!
He couldn’t help but yearn to abandon his post.
He wished to return and share what he’d overheard with his fellow comrades.
This revelation was beyond belief.
Looking back, during their stint as new recruits, these guys had given them a good thrashing.
He had been sleeping soundly when an unusual smoke bomb was introduced, almost suffocating him.
Now, a new recruit had assisted him in channeling his frustration!
“Who is this recruit?”
The regintal commander inquired while glancing at Lin Hai.
However, his gaze then shifted to the Chief of Staff and back to Lin Hai. “Could it be Wang Ye?”
Recruit companies weren’t nurous in his mory.
Yet, Wang Ye’s na, not to ntion his face, surfaced distinctly whenever the na was ntioned.
“Yes, sir! Commander, it was Wang Ye who took action.” Lin Hai confird with a spirited tone.
This exacerbated the Chief of Staff’s already unpleasant expression.
The truth was, the Chief of Staff’s displeasure wasn’t solely a reaction to Lin Hai’s statent.
It was because his plan was now on the verge of collapse.
In his presence, Lin Hai would undoubtedly persist in urging him to retract his request for Wang Ye’s participation.
There was scarcely any chance of this occurring.
In this instant, as the regintal commander learned that the responsible party was indeed Wang Ye, he experienced a brief mont of surprise before breaking into a smile. “This guy is truly full of surprises!”
At this juncture, he looked toward the Chief of Staff.
At this mont, the regintal commander grasped the situation.
Of course, one who’d attained the post of regintal commander, not to ntion his exceptional experience, couldn’t remain oblivious to his subordinates’ personalities and dispositions.
The Chief of Staff must be regretting his course of action.
They’d co to et with him, aiming to persuade him and subsequently involve Wang Ye in the investigation platoon.
The potential advantages were substantial.
While the reconnaissance platoon would unquestionably lose face this ti, Wang Ye’s integration into their ranks would equate to him being one of them.
Wang Ye’s exceptional capabilities would transform the investigation team into an impressive entity. What was there to ridicule?
Though it might still entail so embarrassnt, it was undeniably better than the present circumstances.
More importantly, Wang Ye was undoubtedly impressive!
From the regintal commander’s standpoint, this soldier held no unfavorable attributes.
He demonstrated excellent military qualities, comndable physical fitness, exceptional execution skills, and steadfast loyalty. Currently, a new factor needed to be factored in—heightened vigilance.
This aspect was crucial for a soldier.
His entire deanor radiated excellence.
Truthfully, had Wang Ye not been an Iron Bones Hero Regint recruit…
If, instead, he hailed from the concentration camp recruits, the regintal commander would have undoubtedly devised a ans to secure his placent.
Naturally, if he genuinely belonged to the training camp, the prospect of securing such a soldier would be improbable.
Even his instructors would consider him a treasure; how could he relinquish such an asset?
“Very well, a Chief of Staff and a Battalion Commander. I assud there might be sothing of significance transpiring here.
Let’s go, let’s return. I’ll visit the Seventh Company today. Kindly abstain from troubling !”
The regintal commander turned around.
Originally intending to proceed to the regintal headquarters, he now had a change of heart.
Absurd, why willingly subject himself to further pestering?
He intended to evade these two individuals and instead head to the border defense company for a work inspection.
“Move quickly… Hurry… Two each. The water source is over there, fill your water bottles yourselves. Once you’re done, grab your backpacks.
Move it. We’ll eat breakfast on the go. Let’s pick up our gear and keep moving.”
It was seven in the morning, and the sky was already illuminated.
However, everyone had already returned to the mountains.
Occasional individuals were spotted smoking in the vicinity.
They stood upon a concrete road.
Several vehicles were parked along the road.
There was a mobile dining cart, a military dical vehicle, and three military trucks.
Wu Jianfeng’s voice resounded as he called out instructions by the dining cart.
Simultaneously, a cluster of recruits ford a line to receive their morning al.
In reality, each individual only received two stead buns.
Upon finishing their food, they would queue up for water and then proceed to the trucks to retrieve their backpacks.
“Goodness! How can anyone eat this? It’s practically as hard as a brick.”
Positioned beneath the truck, Wang Ye was now pacing alongside his Class 5 companions.
At this instance, as the class leaders announced the nas associated with the backpacks, Qin Li, situated beside them, tapped the two stead buns against each other, resulting in a dull “dong dong” sound.
Oddly enough, one would scarcely fathom that the sound was that of two stead buns colliding.
“Hehe, it’s still edible. Eat it slowly. Pair a mouthful of stead bun with a sip of water!” Beside them, Zhang Ping’an chuckled in a simple-minded manner.
“This seems more fitting for a night snack. Why are they giving this to us now?” Wan Baojiang grumbled in a downcast tone.
In this mont, Wang Ye had no stead bun in hand. He discreetly tucked one into his pocket.
Upon the platoon leader’s call of his na, he stepped forward to claim his backpack.
Offering his fellow Class 5 mates a friendly grin, he advised, “Consider this part of the training. Enjoy it at your own pace.”
With that, Wang Ye hoisted his backpack and moved ahead.
He needed to be at the forefront of the group.
Earlier, he’d contemplated retrieving his backpack, but he’d relinquished it to the instructor. Now, he had to reclaim it and continue carrying the load.
