Chapter 430: The aggrieved Second Battalion Commander
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the Regint Commander’s office, Wang Ye widened his eyes.
He hadn’t expected that, when the Regint Commander casually asked, and he replied, the Regint Commander would actually decide to have him lead the special forces troops like this?
“Hehe~ What’s wrong? Don’t want to go?” The Regint Commander looked at Wang Ye’s stunned expression, staring at him with a smile.
“N-No, it’s not that.” Wang Ye stamred, “It’s just… Commander, are you really sending ?”
Wang Ye still couldn’t quite believe it.
Or perhaps, he was feeling a bit confused inside right now.
Wasn’t this just a casual conversation?
A re hypothetical situation, how did it turn into actual orders?
Well, Wang Ye didn’t really feel there was a big issue with the practical side of things.
After all, it was just special forces troops, nothing too difficult, and he had spent two months in the Division’s special forces company, so he wasn’t completely unaware of what special forces troops were all about.
But going to the Battalion Special Forces Platoon, even as the second-in-command, Wang Ye felt a lot of pressure.
It wasn’t about whether he could improve combat effectiveness or not.
Would he get ambushed if he went to the Second Platoon by himself?
Would he be sleeping in his dormitory and suddenly soone would smother him with a blanket and beat him up?
Or perhaps the Chief of Staff would co by every day, ordering him to lead a team to clean out the latrines?
As Wang Ye thought about these scenarios, he suddenly felt a wave of malice coming his way.
“Do you think I’m joking with you? Or was what you just said a joke?” The Regint Commander deliberately lowered his face, adopting a very serious expression.
Imdiately, Wang Ye’s heart tightened.
He dropped the cigarette in his hand and extinguished it, then stood at attention.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the Regint Commander and said just as seriously, “Comrade Regint Commander, 1 was not joking. I have confidence in leading the special forces platoon well!”
Seeing his deanor, Wang Ye figured that if he dared to say that he was joking just now, the Regint Commander might co at him with an ashtray in the next mont.
Deep down, he felt a bit apprehensive about going to the Second Platoon of the Special forces Company, but Wang Ye also knew that this was a significant opportunity.
What kind of experience was leading a special forces platoon before going to the military academy?
Without exaggeration, if people at the academy found out about this experience, their eyes would pop out.
This kind of experience was definitely remarkable and would have a significant impact on his future.
“Haha!” The Regint Commander laughed.
“Very good, 1 admire that about you, not shrinking from a challenge!”
The Regint Commander waved his hand, “Alright, you can go back for now. In the next few days, finish up the work with the new recruits’ platoon. When the new recruits’ platoon is done, then you can report to the Special forces Company!”
“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye saluted crisply.
As he watched Wang Ye leave, the smile that had been on the Regint Commander’s face gradually disappeared.
The door to the lounge inside the Regint Commander’s office was pulled open.
The Chief of Staff walked out from inside.
The Regint Commander looked at him, “You heard what Wang Ye just said, right!”
“Yes!” The Chief of Staff nodded seriously, “Indeed, Wang Ye didn’t say anything wrong. They are too arrogant, each one of them thinks they are the elite of the entire battalion, lacking the mindset of giving their all like a lion hunting a rabbit!”
“Exactly!” The Regint Commander, taking a drag from the cigarette he hadn’t finished, exhaled a puff of smoke and leaned back in his chair.
Looking at the Chief of Staff again, he slowly spoke, “They’ve been pampered in tis of peace. Without the pain, without the firsthand experience of hardship, and with each one of them being top talents either directly from the new recruits’ platoon or selected from other companies later on. They think the whole battalion is invincible, so they always have their heads held high.”
“This ti, by sending Wang Ye over, we can give them a good reality check. And while Wang Ye is there before going to the military academy, we can make use of his remaining enthusiasm!”
“Hmm,” the Chief of Staff nodded.
At this point, the Regint Commander spoke again, “I’ve considered the plan you ntioned yesterday, and I think for now, we can take it slow. Let’s wait and see the results after Wang Ye goes over.”
After a pause, the Regint Commander continued slowly, “Our soldiers’ lives are precious. While we want combat effectiveness, we can’t achieve it at the cost of unnecessary bloodshed.”
“Yes!” The Chief of Staff nodded once again.
As a Chief of Staff, he had been racking his brains to improve the combat effectiveness of his Special forces Company during this ti.
Peacekeeping missions weren’t possible at the mont. Dostic peacekeeping rotations were based on military units and years. This year wasn’t their military unit’s turn, so there was no chance even if he wanted to go. Furthermore, even if it were their turn, the chances of approval from higher-ups were slim because current peacekeeping deploynts from China mainly consisted of engineers and logistics troops, with no dedicated combat units.
Special forces troops didn’t fit the current requirents for peacekeeping personnel.
So, the path to peacekeeping was blocked for him, and he had to seek other solutions.
In these past few days, he had indeed co up with an alternative plan. However, for now, the Regint Commander had put his proposal on hold.
“Tonight, think carefully about how you’re going to write your training reflections. It needs to be done by tomorrow, and I want you all to take it seriously. Don’t think you can just brush it off now that the assessnt is over. It’s 8,000 words, and it needs to be profound, understand?”
Back in the new recruits’ platoon, after taking a shower before bed, Wang Ye gave so instructions to the new recruits in his squad.
He didn’t tell them what he had been doing at the Battalion Headquarters just now, and he certainly didn’t ntion that he was about to beco the platoon leader of the special forces troops.
“No, this division of personnel won’t work. Our company only has this many soldiers, and now we’re losing the best ones!”
“Yeah, we can’t let Li Jun from the Second Company go either. Chief of Staff, we’ve handpicked the best veterans from our companies to lead, worked hard for three months, and now the best ones are being taken away!”
“Exactly, I don’t agree with this either!”
