Chapter 1082 Bad News

Qin Tian knew that the matter to be discussed next would definitely involve highly confidential information.

After a moment of contemplation, Gao Shiwei said, "There's good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"There's no such thing as good news or bad news; in my opinion, they'll all be good news. The military's decisions are based on the overall situation and have their reasons," Qin Tian said with a carefree smile. This mission was special, and special circumstances require special treatment; he had nothing to be upset about.

"It's great that you think that way. By the way, I'll leave the team's morale work to you."

After a pause, Gao Shiwei continued, "Let me tell you the good news first. The military plans to build a fully functional military base to safeguard our country's territorial integrity. You are one of the people in charge. The Marine Action Team and the Land Action Team belong to the National Sharp Blade Special Operations Regiment, and you will serve as the regimental commander."

"Do I have any autonomy in the selection of personnel?"

"Of course, that's no problem. You can choose from people from all the military regions in China. Although your team isn't very large, they will be veterans of the Weinan base in the future."

"I've always been interested in naval special forces, and I'm already very satisfied to be able to lead two different types of teams at the same time. Even if the news gets worse, how much worse can it get!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shiwei burst into laughter, feeling that Qin Tian possessed a similar spirit to Zhiyi Yuanchen.

Upon hearing the bad news, Gao Shiwei frowned and said, "It's really a pity that the commendation ceremony has been canceled."

"The THAAD mission is special to begin with, and the US isn't willing to let it go easily, afraid of not finding any leverage against us. Personal honors are minor matters; completing the mission is far more meaningful," Qin Tian replied calmly. In fact, in his view, this wasn't bad news at all; he wasn't the kind of person who liked to show off.

"I really don't know what to say to you guys. You were able to carry out the mission without regard for your personal safety. This mission was naturally fraught with difficulties. Although there was no commendation ceremony, promotion in rank is certain."

Gao Shiwei suddenly smiled mysteriously and continued, "I've kept my promise to you. Congratulations! From now on, you are the youngest general in our republic! Hello, Major General Qin Tian!"

Before heading to South Korea to carry out the mission of destroying the THAAD deployment vehicles and the K2 base, Gao Shiwei had said that if Qin Tian returned successfully with his team, he would make him the youngest general in the Republic.

"Thank you, sir!" Qin Tian saluted, his reaction remaining calm and composed.

"I can hardly predict your future prospects."

Gao Shiwei remarked with emotion that the young Qin Tian was about to become a veteran figure at the military base. Although he was currently supported by the Huaxia Military Region, if the higher-ups gave him more freedom in the future, he might even be able to open his own private military base.

He knew that Qin Tian's reaction was genuine. Normally, someone awarded the rank of major general would show some excitement, or at least be overjoyed inside, but Qin Tian was completely different.

"When will the Weinan military base project begin?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

"The sooner the better," Gao Shiwei said after a moment's thought. "The Americans might use this opportunity to cause trouble."

"Then let's select the people tomorrow and set off the day after," Qin Tian said.

"Isn't this too rushed? Shouldn't we do more preparation?"

"I will arrange that properly."

"By the way, there's still some danger this time. The Weinan military base is currently just an empty city; you could say we're going to scout ahead. The follow-up troops will take some time to arrive," Gao Shiwei solemnly warned.

Qin Tian could tell that Gao Shiwei wanted him to go later, preferably to rendezvous with other units. But Qin Tian knew that time was of the essence and he couldn't afford to wait. For his special forces, the sooner the training and trials came, the better.

After leaving, Gao Shiwei returned with a black briefcase in his hand; the small, square briefcase looked quite exquisite.

"Although the ceremony was cancelled, the military rank, the awarding certificate, and the medal certificate are all still valid."

Gao Shiwei suddenly realized that this box, which weighed about ten kilograms, felt incredibly heavy. It seemed like he couldn't even hold it steady with three hands.

Qin Tian took the box, put it aside, and said seriously, "By the way, I have another question."

"Speak, just say it."

"The people I selected come from various military regions, so those special forces personnel should be fine, right?"

“No problem. As long as it’s someone you’ve chosen, no matter which unit they’re from, I’ll do everything I can to get them for you. You can choose any soldier in all of China!” Gao Shiwei said.

Qin Tian felt relieved after Gao Shiwei said that. He didn't want to have to train new recruits from scratch after arriving at the Weinan military base.

As evening fell, Qin Tian arrived at An Ran's residential area and happened to run into An Ran, who was carrying a wooden carving and walking towards him.

Their eyes met, and An Ran was stunned for a moment before rushing towards Qin Tian.

“…Brother Meteor”.

An Ran bumped headfirst into Qin Tian's arms; the feeling was so real.

Qin Tian was at a loss for words, because he would soon be leaving again, and he didn't know when he would be back.

The two returned to Anran's home hand in hand. When Anran's mother saw Qin Tian arrive, she hurriedly greeted him warmly and invited him to stay for dinner.

Then, the two chatted in the living room while Anran's mother was busy in the kitchen.

"Are you leaving again?" An Ran noticed Qin Tian's preoccupation and guessed what was going on. Qin Tian nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid I won't be back for a while this time."

Upon hearing this, An Ran clung tightly to Qin Tian's arm, appearing somewhat uneasy.

"I'll come see you as soon as I get back." Qin Tian didn't know what words of comfort to say.

After dinner, Qin Tian left An Ran's house. Because of An Ran's father, Qin Tian had drunk some baijiu (Chinese liquor) at An Ran's house, but fortunately, he was in good health and the alcohol did not have any effect on him.

Moreover, since An Ran's parents were at home, there were some things that were inconvenient to do, and in addition, he was in a hurry to go on a mission, so he couldn't stay any longer.

Fortunately, he wasn't the kind of person who was in a hurry, and there was no rush for this matter.

Back at the Wolf Fang base, the National Sharp Blade squad was already waiting neatly outside the camp.

In front of the camp, Qin Tian looked at them with satisfaction. The members of the National Blade Squad stood ramrod straight, their expressions cold and their aura extraordinary.

"Speak, what do you all know?" Qin Tian asked calmly.

"Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei said that the captain is selecting personnel," everyone answered in unison.

"It seems you are ready to face tests and trials."

"Ready!" the crowd shouted in unison again, their voices thunderous and their momentum overwhelming.

"Go back and prepare. You'll have a day off tomorrow. Meet at the camp at 6 a.m. the day after tomorrow. We're going to carry out a special mission in the southern waters of our country. Dismissed."

"yeah……"

Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, everyone immediately clapped and cheered. Qin Tian shook his head and walked away. He felt that his team had not let him down; facing difficulties, they forged ahead bravely, and even without knowing the details of the mission, each one was more enthusiastic than the last.

Ye Cunxin followed, and Qin Tian turned around and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"By the way, I also want to thank you for my mother's situation; it's much easier now."

"No need to thank me. If anyone should be thanked, it's you for the contribution you made this time," Qin Tian said calmly.

It must be said that Ye Cunxin's hacking skills are outstanding. Coupled with her precise calculation ability and ability as the second commander of the team, she has become an indispensable member of the National Sharp Blade team.

Oh right, I haven't opened the box Gao Shiwei left behind yet. It contains their rank certificates and other credentials. Oh well, I'll surprise them at the Weinan base.

“Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to complete the mission so smoothly. And…and…” Ye Cunxin suddenly didn’t know what to say. Qin Tian looked at her and saw that her face was flushed, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Qin Tian asked with a curious look.

Ye Cunxin suddenly turned and ran away, her movements as light and graceful as a swallow leaving its nest.

Qin Tian shook his head helplessly again, but a bittersweet smile appeared on his face.

The next day, Qin Tian began the process of selecting troop members. Ordinary regiments were immediately excluded from the selection process, as this mission in the southern waters of my country was of paramount importance, and the selection of personnel could not tolerate any carelessness.

The Southeast Military Region's database contains detailed information on every active-duty soldier in my country, stored on networked computers. Normally, no more than three people from the military region are allowed access here, but Qin Tian was granted special permission by the region to enter this time.

According to Qin Tian's plan, five members of the Army Special Forces and fifteen members of the Navy Special Forces will be selected to expand the original team into the National Sharp Blade Squadron, with him serving as the squadron leader.

Unfortunately, when it came to choosing the last candidate, Qin Tian couldn't make up his mind.

The computer screen eventually focused on a soldier's resume.

Name: Wu Xuyang.

Sex: Male.

Age: 24.

Military rank: Captain.

Service Unit: Hailong Special Operations Squad, Eastern Special Operations Brigade, East China Sea Fleet.

Next came his dazzling array of awards. Qin Tian nodded after looking at them, feeling that this person met the requirements, but ultimately he still couldn't decide whether to choose him.

What's going on? Could the computer be malfunctioning? Qin Tian hurriedly contacted the database staff, but they couldn't provide a reasonable explanation either. Helpless, he had no choice but to call Gao Shiwei.

Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei rushed over after receiving the call. He looked at Wu Xuyang's resume and frowned.

Qin Tian had indeed never heard of the Hailong Special Forces Team. After all, there were at least a hundred special forces teams belonging to the military regions of my country.

After a moment of contemplation, Gao Shiwei said, "The chief of staff of this Hailong Special Operations Team is stubborn, but this team is indeed excellent, one of the best among naval special operations teams. It's alright, I'll go to the East China Sea Fleet to negotiate."

Since he had promised Qin Tian, ​​he naturally couldn't go back on his word. If Qi Donglai refused to release the person, then he would have to use his connections.

Qin Tian watched Gao Shiwei's hurried departure and couldn't help but smile knowingly. No matter what, he could still feel Gao Shiwei's sincerity.

As evening fell, Gao Shiwei returned by car, with Wu Xuyang, who looked solemn, sitting in the back.

As soon as Gao Shiwei saw Qin Tian, ​​he burst into laughter.

"I've gotten the person back for you. What can that old bastard Qi Donglai do if he won't let go? He chased me for dozens of miles!"

"Stolen? Won't that hurt our relationship?"

Hearing this answer, Qin Tian was both amused and exasperated; Gao Shiwei had really gone all out this time.

"No, we are brother military regions. If this were decades ago, when the East China Sea Fleet was still under the Southeast Military Region, I would guarantee to transfer Qi Donglai's entire squad to you."

Gao Shiwei smiled smugly. No matter what, as long as Qin Tian was satisfied, that was all that mattered. Recalling Qi Donglai's expression after losing his beloved child, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

In Qin Tian's opinion, there was really no need for such formalities. The Sea Dragon Special Forces Team was currently a top-tier naval team, but so what? Given enough time, he could completely build a naval combat team that far surpassed the Sea Dragon Special Forces Team.

Gao Shiwei called over Wu Xuyang, who was standing nearby, and introduced him, saying, "This Major General Qin Tian will be your direct commander from now on."

"Greetings, Commander." Wu Xuyang stood at attention and saluted.

"You don't need to call me 'commander' anymore. After all, I'm your direct superior. Just call me 'squad leader'," Qin Tian said calmly.

"Yes, squad leader."

Although Wu Xuyang served in the East China Sea Fleet, he had heard many legendary stories about Qin Tian. Today, seeing him in person, he was filled with awe and his shock was beyond words; it would be an understatement to describe it.

I actually met the youngest major general in the Republic, who was only in his early twenties! If I told my old comrades about this, they would definitely think I was bragging.

"I'll be going now, you guys chat. Oh, by the way, if you're leaving tomorrow morning, I won't be able to see you off. I have a meeting to chair at the military region, which is a real shame."

"I can't believe it," Gao Shiwei said with a regretful expression. Qin Tian and Wu Xuyang saluted and saw Gao Shiwei off.

The other nineteen people Qin Tian had selected had already arrived to report for duty one after another that afternoon. Wu Xuyang was the last to arrive, and Qin Tian didn't say much, letting him go to his camp alone.

At six o'clock the next morning, twenty-seven people gathered outside Qin Tian's camp on time.

Qin Tian's expression was indifferent, his gaze deep.

An enhanced squadron of national elites has been assembled; this will be his second weapon.

With its double-edged sword, it is invincible wherever it points.

The entire squadron of "National Sharp Blade" stood at attention, each staring straight ahead.

Qin Tian could see the determination and sharpness in their eyes. They were already outstanding in their original units, but that was far from enough for Qin Tian.

What Qin Tian wanted was a squad full of killing intent, a squad with the penetrating power of an armor-piercing throwing knife, a squad with unwavering morale and boundless fighting spirit.

Only unwavering will can penetrate stubborn rock.
