He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Ha! For mercenaries like them, such a belief is utterly foolish...

While the old cat was thinking about these random things, he tapped the table with his fingers.

Just then, the tactical computer next to him suddenly lit up.

One of his men, whom he had sent out to infiltrate Chinese territory, sent back the latest intelligence.

Old Cat glanced at the obscure satellite topographic map displayed on the tactical computer, with its various red and blue lines intersecting. He paused slightly, then suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Okay, guys, intelligence confirms our target has been spotted!"

What?……

The target has been spotted!
Upon hearing this, the noisy mercenaries immediately fell silent, and after a moment of silence, they erupted into even more unrestrained cheers.

"Wow, that's great! More money to be made!"

"I can't wait to rip that guy's head off and go to Bali to exchange it for fine wine and girls!"

“But!” Old Cat raised his hand and added, “He has a division of Chinese troops with him.”

The scene fell silent once more.

Immediately afterwards, a burly Black man raised his head and said nonchalantly, "They're just a bunch of Boy Scouts, what's there to be afraid of?"

Several mercenaries shouted and echoed their agreement.

"That's right! We'll sneak in, kill them, and leave. What can they do to us?"

"Hehehe, I can't wait to test my skills against these Boy Scouts!"

Old Cat watched the scene of fervent emotion, smiled gently, and said a single word in a calm tone, silencing his men once again.

"Do not."

The tent full of mercenaries looked at him with puzzlement, all of them with the same expression, their brows tightly furrowed.

"Why! Are you afraid?"

"We are all veterans who have come from the battlefield. We have the most advanced weapons in the world. How could these little brats possibly be a match for us!"

The old cat calmly raised a finger and waved it in front of everyone.

"Are you satisfied with $1000 million? Don't forget our goal is for two people."

“If we make a move here, we will inevitably alert them. I have received intelligence that these two men will be traveling to the World Tank Championship in Bogdah in three days. We can take them all down then.”

As he spoke, the old cat's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"In addition, someone has paid us a lot of money to steal something, and the thing to be stolen is in this tank competition."

"With Harvey acting as our inside man, we can kill two birds with one stone. I'm sure this operation will be very successful..."

As he spoke, the old cat suddenly raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

"Everything for money!"

The mercenaries, fully aware of their leader's intentions, were even more eager to try, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

"banknote!!"

……

……

At 3:00 PM local time, the exercise command center officially announced the conclusion of the border combat exercise.

The Blue Army Wolf Warrior Squadron, under the command of Long Xiaoyun, won the championship in this combat exercise!
Under the resentful gaze of Li Zhijun, the company commander of the Red Army's guard company, Zhang Beixing and his entourage boarded a helicopter and safely returned from the heart of the border mountains.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the warm light spread across the earth. Two armed helicopters slowly landed at the military base on the southern border of Xinjiang.

As soon as the soldiers of the Wolf Warrior Squadron got off the helicopter, they huddled together warily, fearing a “warm welcome” from the Red Command.

Sure enough, the training ground was filled with soldiers from the special operations brigade, all staring at them with predatory eyes, as if they wanted to devour them alive at any moment.

Fortunately, Red Army brigade commander Shi Qingsong was also there to welcome them back, and Wolf Warriors squadron leader Long Xiaoyun was also present. Naturally, neither side would resort to underhanded tactics in front of the two commanders.

Shao Bing, Yu Fei, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved closer to their captain, Long Xiaoyun.

Under Shi Qingsong's eager gaze, Zhang Beixing jumped out of the cabin.

Upon seeing this, Shi Qingsong quickly stepped forward, smiling kindly.

"You must be the famous Zhang Beixing?"

Zhang Beixing glanced at his shoulder insignia and immediately recognized the man's identity.

Two bars and four stars—that's definitely Shi Qingsong, the guy he shot dead in a hail of bullets!

In the military, junior officers are required to salute their superiors; this is the rule. As a lieutenant colonel in the Chinese Army, Zhang Beixing would certainly not deliberately tarnish the reputation of the Southeast Military Region, especially when facing brigade commanders from other military regions.

"Greetings, Brigade Commander!"

Zhang Beixing immediately stood at attention and saluted, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Beixing of the Southeast Military Region Army reporting for duty!"

Zhang Beixing appeared extremely polite, but Shi Qingsong, standing in front of him, clearly saw a hint of mockery in Zhang Beixing's eyes.

Zhang Beixing didn't mean anything by it, but he was used to hearing Yu Fei and the others make up rhymes about Shi Qingsong, so seeing him in person made him inexplicably want to laugh.

Those who follow the rules can marry Long Xiaoyun, while those who are naughty and mischievous are exiled to Shi Qingsong.

Shi Qingsong pretended not to notice the strange look in his eyes, raised his hand in return, and said with a gentle smile, "If I'm not mistaken, it was you who did the deed of me and my staff, wasn't it?"

Zhang Beixing smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun also walked over quickly and said with a half-smile.

"Commander Shi, are you trying to use your superior strength to bully the weak and demand an explanation?"

Shi Qingsong waved his hands repeatedly, displaying the demeanor of an old fox to the fullest, and said with a smile.

"Little Dragon Girl, are you trying to shut me up?"

"What? Are you afraid I'll snatch her away first?"

Long Xiaoyun glanced at Zhang Beixing, who looked innocent, with a teasing look, then looked back at Shi Qingsong and said sarcastically.

“I have no objection. If Brigade Commander Shi is capable enough to poach this person from the Southeast Military Region, I'll treat you to Moutai.”

"How to say?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingsong was slightly taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha...! Something's not quite right with what you're saying."

Long Xiaoyun's eyes held a hint of resentment. Although she didn't look at Zhang Beixing once, every word she spoke was meant for him.

"Some people are determined not to move. Even if I, the captain of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, personally went to invite them, let alone your special operations brigade, they still wouldn't budge."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingsong immediately perked up and looked at Zhang Beixing with a smile.

"For the War Wolf Squadron leader to personally recruit someone, Comrade Zhang Beixing, you must be quite something." "The War Wolf Special Forces are one of the top ten elite special forces units in China. Becoming a soldier in the War Wolf is an opportunity that many special forces soldiers dream of. It's even more impressive that you could refuse the War Wolf Squadron's invitation!"

Long Xiaoyun chuckled calmly, but Zhang Beixing felt a chill creep down his spine.

“I didn’t send him to join the army. The position the old commander promised him was the instructor position that the Wolf Warriors had been holding for a long time.”

Long Xiaoyun's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her breath was as sweet as orchids.

"Even these people don't want it..."

What?……

I almost became the instructor of the Wolf Warrior Squadron!

Upon hearing Long Xiaoyun's words, Shi Qingsong couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

Others may not know how significant the position of "Wolf Warrior Instructor" is, but Brigade Commander Shi is very clear about it.

The soldiers of Wolf Warrior are the elite of the elite, the best of the best. How difficult is it to be a soldier? Let alone be the instructor of this group of elite special forces soldiers, it is even more difficult!

Only those who are one in a million top-tier military talents would have absolutely no chance of having such an opportunity, and would absolutely never be able to gain the favor of the number one old leader of the Capital Military Region.

As for personally issuing appointment orders, that's something I wouldn't even dare to imagine.

This shows that Zhang Beixing's abilities far exceeded his expectations.

Being killed by such a skilled fighter in an exercise doesn't seem like such a shameful thing.

But this rare opportunity was rejected outright.

Even Shi Qingsong felt a deep sense of regret for Zhang Beixing.

But Zhang Beixing, the person involved in this matter, would never regret refusing such an opportunity.

Because he knew very well that he would always keep his word when he told Long Xiaoyun.

In the near future, the name of red blood cells will resound throughout the Chinese military region!
Long Xiaoyun blinked and spoke meaningfully.

"Brigade Commander Shi, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang and I have some private matters to discuss. If you have nothing else to say..."

Commander Shi glanced at Long Xiaoyun, then at Zhang Beixing, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Alright, alright, you guys chat. I won't get involved in your young people's affairs."

After saying that, Shi Qingsong turned around and shouted sternly.

"Li Zhijun!"

"To!"

The company commander of the guard company rushed over to report for duty.

"Your guard company is largely to blame for the disgrace you suffered in this exercise. We'll deal with you when we get back!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhijun, with a bitter face, followed behind Shi Qingsong, and the two gradually walked away.

Shao Bing and the others had always felt that Zhang Beixing and their own Dragon Team were involved. Although both parties knew that it was just a rumor, gossip is like wildfire that can never be extinguished, and it always springs up again with the spring breeze. Gossip always gets worse the more you try to explain it, so the two proud and arrogant people were too lazy to explain.

Only after the group exchanged knowing glances and chuckled as they walked away did Long Xiaoyun turn to look at Zhang Beixing, who smiled faintly.

There was nothing between the two of them originally, but the rumors spread like wildfire, and at this moment, they suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Beixing spoke first: "Let's take a walk together."

Long Xiaoyun was taken aback, then nodded slightly and gave a clear "hmm".

For the next hour, Zhang Beixing and Long Xiaoyun walked side by side, seemingly aimlessly, through the border defense base.

From a distance, the handsome young man and beautiful young woman, an elite soldier and a pretty girl, really did look like a couple strolling under the flowers and moon.

Especially seeing the smiles on their faces, so sincere and warm, one would probably think the same if they couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Doesn't Captain Zhang think he's overstepping his bounds?"

"How so?" Zhang Beixing said casually, "I helped your Wolf Warriors win the exercise, shouldn't I say something to thank you first?"

Long Xiaoyun said with a forced smile, "Then I really should thank you."

Zhang Beixing waved his hand, seemingly very tolerant and magnanimous, and said with a smile.

"It's a small matter, don't worry about it."

Long Xiaoyun's face turned cold, though her eyes still seemed to hold a smile, as warm as a spring breeze, but she spoke slowly in a tone as cold as a winter's wind.

"Since you refused to become a Wolf Warrior instructor, then don't even think about controlling my soldiers."

I don't know who said it, but men are from Mars and women are from Venus, and these two species can never truly understand each other.

Just like Zhang Beixing at this moment, he really couldn't understand many things about Long Xiaoyun, the tough female soldier.

But considering that the mission still required the active cooperation of the Wolf Warriors, Zhang Beixing had no interest in arguing or bickering with a woman.

So Zhang Beixing said sincerely, "I didn't think that much about it. I just felt that we would be fighting together soon. For soldiers, nothing is more reliable than a strong bond. I can't possibly entrust my back to a group of strangers."

After hearing Zhang Beixing's words, Long Xiaoyun was silent for a moment, not refuting him on the spot, but after a while, she couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"I originally thought that a veteran like you, who has experienced life and death, would be fearless of any danger. But now it seems that you are actually a very cautious person. So I'm curious, is there really anyone you can trust?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing smiled faintly and said noncommittally, "Your judgment of me is just your own opinion. I never want to change other people's minds, but I can answer your question."

“Of course, the answer is yes,” Zhang Beixing replied truthfully. “I can confidently entrust my back to my brothers in the red blood cells.”

Long Xiaoyun's beautiful eyes flickered, and she gave Zhang Beixing a meaningful look, clearly not wanting to continue the topic.

She was always decisive and efficient; after a brief exchange of pleasantries upon their long-awaited reunion, she immediately got down to business.

"From now until the official closing of the Tank Competition, I can temporarily hand over the operational command of War Wolf to you."

Zhang Beixing feigned surprise and curled the corners of his mouth slightly: "I thought you didn't trust me and would want to personally take charge."

“I have other things to do; this command is only temporary.”

Long Xiaoyun maintained her icy beauty aura perfectly, speaking very little.

After saying that, Long Xiaoyun turned to look at Zhang Beixing with a solemn expression and immediately added another sentence that left no room for argument.

"I hope they can all come back alive."

Zhang Beixing's expression turned serious, his casual demeanor vanished, and he slowly shook his head.

"You can't dodge bullets on the battlefield; there's no war without bloodshed and sacrifice."

"I'm not a god, I can't protect everyone, but..."

After a slight pause, Zhang Beixing changed his tone and spoke with certainty.

"I will."

Although these three words sounded somewhat strange at first, the two of them still understood perfectly. (End of Chapter)
