Chapter 427: Regiment mander’s Hands Are itching

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In front of the team, Jiang Huai actually saw Wang Ye’s actions.

But he could only pretend not to see.

Internally, he felt a bit helpless.

This time, the special forces squad might be in big trouble.

And he, as soon as the new recruits’ training ends, he will have to endure it together.

“Sigh!” He looked up at the sky ahead and let out a sigh.

What a mess this has bee!

Clearly, he’s the one in charge of the new recruits, so theoretically, he should be happy about something like this happening. However, he couldn’t find any happiness in it now.

If he wasn’t the deputy platoon leader of the special forces squad, it would be so much better. Right now, he might even be grinning from ear to ear.

Of course, on second thought, even if he weren’t the deputy platoon leader of the special forces squad, in this situation this year, he wouldn’t have the chance to be the platoon leader of the new recruits.

It’s quite frustrating, but he could only silently prepare himself.

As for matters concerning the special forces squad, they could only be discussed when he returns. Right now, the main focus is on leading the new recruits well.

Meanwhile,

On the other side, after running out of the battalion headquarters, the Second pany mander headed straight for the camp gate.

He didn’t carry anything with him, especially no milk.

They all knew by now that the Regiment mander was allergic to milk.

Well, it’s not a physical allergy preventing him from drinking milk; it’s the fact that seeing milk would make him see red and start hurling insults, or even get violent.

In this situation, he definitely didn’t dare to bring milk to the doorstep.

That would turn a good situation into a bad one.

So he just waited at the gate with a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, thinking about what to say.

On the other hand, the Regiment mander, holding a thermos cup, also came out from his home as part of his daily routine.

He was still unaware of the latest mishap with the special forces unit.

Currently, he listened to the birds singing and insects chirping within the camp’s walls, and walked towards the camp gate along the perimeter wall.

“Hmm?”

From a distance, the Regiment mander spotted the Second Regiment mander waiting outside the gate.

What’s going on?

Seeing Lin Hai, the regiment mander’s steps paused slightly.

Of course, he paused, and at this moment, Lin Hal’s face lit up, and he approached with a smiling face.

“Regiment mander!”

Lin Hai approached with a cheerful salute.

“What’s up? Are you this free early in the morning?”

“Hehe, no, I was specifically waiting for you, Regiment mander!” Lin Hai grinned.

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and extended it towards the Regiment mander.

“Here, Regiment mander, have a smoke!”

The Regiment mander looked at him with a smile as he offered the cigarette.

Inexplicably, the Regiment mander recalled a scene from last year when someone came to his door with a smile, carrying milk.

He spoke in a slightly irritable tone, “Smoking in the early morning? I want to breathe fresh air for my health, so no thanks!”

The Regiment mander refused directly.

After saying this, he began thinking about recent work arrangements within the regiment, especially concerning the Second pany. However, after a moment’s reflection, he couldn’t recall anything significant in the Second pany that would warrant their pany mander running to the gate to intercept him.

Suddenly, a very familiar scene came to the Regiment mander’s mind.

Last year,

It was this time last year when Lin Hai had e to the gate to intercept him. However, that time, he had been waiting for the Chief of Staff, that scoundrel who came to indirectly take credit and snatch people.

At this moment, a surprising thought emerged in his mind, even surprising himself.

Could it be that this year, just like last year, there’s another Wang Ye among the new recruits?

Is fate favoring his regiment?

Last year, they had Wang Ye, and now, they might have Wang Ye 2.0.

“Hehe, Regiment mander, a cigarette in the morning is better than living like an immortal!” The Second pany mander was still trying to offer the cigarette and even went as far as placing it directly in the Regiment mander’s hand.

The Regiment mander pushed his hand away again, speaking with annoyance, “My throat isn’t feeling well. If you have something to say, spit it out!”

Inside, he was starting to suspect, and he definitely didn’t dare to smoke the offered cigarette now.

“Hehe, Regiment mander, it’s nothing major. I just need a person.” Lin Hai felt a bit awkward after being refused the cigarette, but he had to say what needed to be said.

“A new recruit?” The Regiment mander resisted the urge to smack someone and asked.

“Yes!” Lin Hai nodded hurriedly and continued with an undiminished smile, “Regiment mander, this recruit was originally trained in my Second pany, so I’d like to secure him for our pany.”

“Get lost! The division of recruits hasn’t even started, and you want to secure someone? Have you forgotten that I’ve already told you all that this year’s division of recruits will be handled as a unified arrangement at the end?” The Regiment mander glared.

At this moment, the hand holding the thermos cup was tightly clenched and then relaxed by the Regiment mander.

He was holding back, and there were sentries nearby, so he had to consider his demeanor as a Regiment mander.

But right now, as he looked at the Second pany mander, he felt an itch in his hand.

Damn it, didn’t he remember how much trouble he had caused last year when he secured Wang Ye ahead of time? How long had he been annoyed by it?

The incident with that crate of milk might end up being a legend in his regiment for years to e.

After such a bitter lesson, was the Second pany mander daring to bring this up again?

He really deserved a good smack!

Well… it was quite apparent that the Battalion mander was aware of it, and now, seeing the Regiment mander’s expression, especially his continuously clenching and unclenching hand, the Battalion mander felt a bit hesitant.

But sometimes, you have to be bold. With determination, he continued, “No,

Regiment mander, this new recruit isn’t particularly outstanding…”

Even if he got a few beatings from the Regiment mander, if he could secure a good soldier, he was willing to endure it.

Kids who cared about their reputation, worried about this and that, often went hungry!

“Get lost, don’t talk any more nonsense. Go stand guard at the gate all day today.”

The Regiment mander pointed towards the sentry post at the gate, “You like ing to this gate so much, don’t you? If you dare to say another word, I’ll have you stand there!”

At this moment, the soldiers from the guard platoon at the gate were staring attentively in this direction.

One of them really wanted to shout, “Second pany mander, don’t chicken out, open fire, I mean… open your mouth!”

Having someone take over guard duty was such a blessing.

Unfortunately, the Battalion mander kept quiet.

If enduring a few blows meant he could exchange for a new soldier, he would accept it. But now, looking at the Regiment mander’s demeanor, he knew that if he dared to speak up again, he might actually be sent to stand guard at the gate.

The problem was, even if he stood guard, he couldn’t get the previous guard back. He wasn’t willing to do this brainless job.

“Enough, don’t argue in front of us!”

The Regiment mander scolded the Second pany mander and then walked away.

What was the deal with this new recruit?

Why did the Second pany mander want him?

He had no intention of asking these questions from the Second pany mander right now.

When he got back to Regiment headquarters, he would naturally find out.

As for the Second pany mander…

The Regiment mander looked back at him.

“Why are you following me?”

“I’m going to Regiment headquarters to report my work to the Regiment mander!” Lin Hai grumbled.

“Alright, e along then!” The Regiment mander didn’t fall for his trap.

He wasn’t going to ask what was going on right now. When they got to Regiment headquarters, he would see what had transpired during this night.

“Wang Ye, let’s have a chat!”

Over at the new recruits’ training camp, during a brief break, Jiang Huai came over to Wang Ye and said this.

Wang Ye looked at him with a bit of confusion but still nodded with a smile, “Sure!”

They walked to the side.

Once Jiang Huai came to a stop, he turned to Wang Ye and immediately began, “Wang Ye, do you think our regiment’s special forces unit has issues with its training?”

Wang Ye had thought he wanted to have a casual conversation, but he didn’t expect Jiang Huai to e out with such a heavy topic.

Was this something they should be discussing?

“Hehe, pany mander, the cigarettes today seem a bit fake, try one!”

Wang Ye had just taken out a cigarette, and now he smiled and offered one to Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai took the cigarette with a puzzled expression, looked at Wang Ye, and then began to speak thoughtfully, “Are you suggesting that our regiment’s special forces unit is currently not living up to its reputation, and its bat capability is somewhat lacking?”

Wang Ye stared at him in disbelief.

Honestly, he just wanted to change the topic and didn’t want to engage in this conversation.

He spoke a bit helplessly, “No, pany mander, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t intend to evaluate the special forces unit. In fact, I haven’t had much interaction with our regiment’s special forces soldiers. It’s been only brief and preliminary encounters. Without a deeper understanding, I can’t make any judgments about our regiment’s special forces unit.”

Being in the military requires honesty, and most soldiers are straightforward. However, being straightforward doesn’t mean you should speak without discretion about everything.

Regarding the training of the Criminal Investigation pany, it wasn’t within Wang Ye’s purview to ment, especially considering the person asking the question wasn’t qualified enough.

If the question had e from the Regiment mander or someone higher up, Wang Ye might have carefully considered it and provided some insights. Even if someone like Wu Jianfeng asked, Wang Ye would treat it as casual conversation and offer a few remarks.

But with Jiang Huai, despite their seemingly close relationship, he was still just the deputy platoon leader of the Criminal Investigation pany.

Well… just the deputy platoon leader.

In this situation, if he said too much to Jiang Huai, there was a high chance that Jiang Huai would turn around and report him when he got back. So, silence was golden.

“Alright!” Jiang Huai understood Wang Ye’s thoughts and didn’t press the matter further.

Soon, the brief rest for the entire platoon came to an end.

Under the whistle of the duty officer, the training continued.

“Knock, knock, knock-”

Regiment headquarters, the Regiment mander’s office. The Regiment mander was rhythmically tapping his fingers lightly on his desk.

In front of him, the Second pany mander and the staff officer were standing. On the other side, the deputy Regiment mander was sitting in a chair.

When the Regiment mander had returned to Regiment headquarters earlier with the Second pany mander trailing behind like a shadow, he had spotted the staff officer waiting downstairs. He had instructed the staff officer and the Second pany mander to join him upstairs, and seeing the situation, the deputy Regiment mander had followed suit.

At this point, both the Regiment mander and the deputy Regiment mander were aware of what had happened the previous night.

Tapping the desk, suddenly, the Regiment mander turned to the deputy Regiment mander and asked, “Old Yang, tell me, where is the problem? I’m pleased that the new recruits are excellent, but we can’t solely blame their excellence for two consecutive years of failure in the veteran unit!”

The deputy Regiment mander looked at the Regiment mander, lowered his head in silence for a moment, and then raised it again, saying, “Lack of real bat!”

Pausing briefly, he glanced at the staff officer and the Second pany mander before continuing, “Peace is a good thing, but we’ve had peace for too long. Our soldiers lack a sense of crisis when it es to war, and they lack the cautious mindset needed in a real bat situation. Mindset affects bat capability, and there isn’t currently a good solution to this situation.”

“All, yes! Peace is hard-won, achieved through the sacrifice of our predecessors!” The Regiment mander couldn’t help but sigh.

“Regiment mander, Deputy Regiment mander, is there a peacekeeping mission in our military this year? I’m willing to lead my pany on a peacekeeping mission!” At this point, the staff officer spoke with determination.

This issue had long been recognized by the staff officer. It was a mon problem in the military, and it seemed to be a situation without a solution. While there was no war within the country, soldiers could only improve their bat capabilities through the baptism of actual bat.

So, he thought of this approach.

Just because there was no war within the country didn’t mean there weren’t conflicts and wars abroad.

Peacekeeping missions indeed provided a way to get exposure to warfare.

“No!” The Regiment mander looked at the staff officer and said, “It’s not our military’s turn for peacekeeping missions yet.”

With that statement, the staff officer felt helpless.

“Alright, let’s table this discussion for a few days. Today, we’ll all disperse. I need to think about this matter thoroughly!”

The Regiment mander issued the dismissal order, even using this topic as an excuse to prevent the Second pany mander from continuing to talk.

The issue raised by the Second pany mander couldn’t be resolved. Determining the recruits couldn’t be done prematurely. This year, it didn’t matter who said what; everything would be done according to standard procedures, and there would be no premature mitments..
