“I am honored to have this opportunity to give everyone in the company an introduction to the Special Operations Brigade.”

After Chen Ting saluted, he sat back on his stool and said slowly to the eager eyes of all the new recruits in the company:
"Let me first explain the most basic concept to you. Maybe you don't know much about the Special Operations Brigade and think that once you join it, you will become a glorious special forces soldier."

“That’s not actually the case.”

"First of all, we have come to our special operations brigade, so the training intensity is definitely much higher than that of the other eleven brigades."

"Basically, it is two to three times the size of other special operations brigades, and some of the companies can be as high as three to four times."

"Secondly, just because you are assigned to a special operations brigade doesn't mean you are a special forces soldier. You may also be assigned to a logistics unit. There are actually less than three battalions that are actually engaged in combat."

"There are five battalions in our special operations brigade. To give a brief summary, the first two, Battalion One and Battalion Two, are special reconnaissance battalions. They are very hard and have very solid training."

"I am a soldier of the first company of the first battalion, and your current company commander is also the commander of the first company of the first battalion of the special operations brigade."

After Chen Ting finished speaking, the recruits turned around in disbelief and looked for the company commander Chen Tianjian.

They didn't expect that their company commander was actually the commander of a special operations brigade and was able to command a company of scouts!
After the recruits had recovered from their surprise, Chen Ting continued slowly:

"There are five battalions in total. Battalion One and Battalion Two are special reconnaissance battalions, and Battalion Three is the unmanned reconnaissance battalion, which is responsible for operating various unmanned equipment, such as drones and mechanical reconnaissance dogs, to conduct all-round reconnaissance and assistance on the battlefield."

"The three battalions I'm talking about are the ones that often rush to the front lines of the battlefield."

"There are two other battalions, which are about information and logistics support."

"This is a conceptual explanation. I hope the new comrades will not have any misunderstandings about the special operations brigade."

"Okay, now that we've covered the most basic concepts, let's talk to the new comrades about how to join the Special Operations Brigade."

"This is also different from the company allocations in the other eleven brigades."

"The assignment of the companies in the other eleven brigades will be somewhat random, but as for which company you go to, it is completely random."

"But the special operations brigade is different. People from the special operations brigade will come to the recruit company half a month before the new recruits are assigned to the company every year to select people."

"It should be within the next two days. People from the Special Operations Brigade will come over for selection."

"According to past practice, only six people will be selected from a company."

“Because there are so many companies and the special operations brigade requires so few people, it is very difficult to get into the special operations brigade.”

Chen Ting's mouth seemed to be a little dry from talking, so he unscrewed the thermos cup he brought with him and took a sip of tea slowly.

Moistened his throat.

After he felt his throat was comfortable, he continued:
"Once you join our special operations brigade, you must be ready to go on missions at any time and be sacrificed at any time."

"When you enter our brigade, you will see an old saying painted on the white wall inside the brigade:"

“The days of ease are always only yesterday.”

"Of course, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions. Every year, there are quite a few soldiers who are promoted for meritorious service."

"Okay, I'll just briefly say this. If you have any other questions, you can ask me after the other two squad leaders have finished speaking, and I will answer them one by one."

After Chen Ting said this, he indicated that he had finished talking. Now the platoon leader of the second platoon, the third-term non-commissioned officer who looked very similar to Grandpa Niu, would introduce the troops.

Like Chen Ting, squad leader Niu Grandpa coughed twice and cleared his throat before slowly introducing:

"I'm from the 1st Brigade. Its full name is the 1st Heavy Armored Combined Brigade."

"I'd also like to teach you a basic concept. It costs 240 billion for our country to build a heavy-armored combined brigade. It can be said that if we deploy this heavy-armored combined brigade alone, it will be no problem to easily destroy a small country."

When squad leader Grandpa Niu said this, the new recruits below were all in an uproar.

Can a heavily armored combined brigade destroy a small country on the blue planet?
How powerful would this heavily armored combined brigade be?

Looking at the reactions of the recruits below, Squad Leader Niu Grandpa seemed very confident and continued:
"Our heavy-duty combined brigade is equipped with the most advanced third-generation main battle tank, the Type 99A heavy main battle tank. I believe you have all heard of this main battle tank to some extent."

"Compared with the same type of tanks in the United States, this main battle tank is not inferior in the slightest, and may even crush them. It is equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun, which can penetrate a 1000mm thick steel plate at a distance of meters, and has advanced sights and night vision goggles."

"I want to say that once you join our Heavy Armored Combined Brigade, you will have the opportunity to operate a tank like this on the battlefield."

"Our heavy combined-armor brigade has more than 120 of these tanks."

"There are also more than 04 armored vehicles of various types, including the 600A infantry fighting vehicle, more than 80 light and heavy self-propelled artillery pieces of various types, and several self-propelled medium and long-range rocket launchers."

"It seems that I have gone off topic. Under our heavy armored combined brigade, there are four heavy armored combined battalions, as well as artillery battalions, reconnaissance battalions, air defense battalions, combat support battalions, motorized infantry battalions, and dozens of other battalions."

"The total number of people is about 7,000."

"After joining the company, most of you will be assigned to our Heavy Armored Combined Brigade 1 and Heavy Armored Combined Brigade 2." "The other one-third will most likely be evenly distributed to the Medium Armored Combined Brigade 3, Medium Armored Combined Brigade 4, Light Armored Combined Brigade 5, and Light Armored Combined Brigade 6."

"These combined brigades are collectively known as the Sixth Brigade."

"That means that 80 percent of you will be assigned to the Sixth Brigade."

After squad leader Niu Grandpa finished speaking, a new soldier immediately couldn't wait to report and asked:

"Report to the squad leader, what about the remaining 20%?"

"Don't worry, I've finished what I've said. So what should the third platoon leader say?"

Squad leader Grandpa Niu quickly turned the topic over to the second-term sergeant squad leader of the third platoon.

The second-term sergeant squad leader stood up, saluted all the recruits, then sat down and said slowly:

"The remaining 20 percent of recruits will be assigned to artillery brigades, air defense brigades, aviation brigades, service support brigades, engineer and chemical defense brigades, etc."

"The number of people in these brigades is much smaller than the average number of people in each brigade of the Sixth Brigade, so the number of new recruits assigned to companies each year is also much smaller."

"I am a soldier in the air defense brigade. I can say responsibly that compared to what the first two squad leaders said, the training intensity of the brigades behind us is much lower than that of the Sixth Brigade and the Special Operations Brigade."

"Most of our tasks involve operating some equipment, which requires some special skills and training to learn and complete."

"The usual training of our brigade is not that tiring, it is all professional-related. At the same time, if you want to do regular work in the army, it is easy to transfer to a non-commissioned officer."

After the second-term sergeant finished speaking, almost half of the recruits' eyes lit up.

The training is not too tiring, and you can stay on the team as long as you operate some equipment!
There is such a good thing! Just thinking about it makes me feel that the future is bright. It would be great if they could be assigned to a brigade other than the Sixth Brigade.

"Okay, now the three platoon leaders, three experienced veterans, have already introduced some of the most basic situations to you."

"Now, if you have any questions you want to ask, you can ask them directly."

"Of course, you have to pay attention to order and ask questions one by one. Don't be in a hurry. We have plenty of time tonight."

The officer on duty stepped forward to smooth things over and indicated that the recruits could ask questions.

"Report, I want to ask squad leader Chen Ting."

The recruit who raised his hand to report was a recruit from the fourth squad. Ji Baichang had an impression of this recruit. It seemed that every time he was tested on the three-kilometer test or the single and double bars, he was a little worse than himself, but he was much better than other recruits.

"Well, you ask."

Chen Ting nodded, indicating that he could speak.

"Squad Leader Chen Ting, I want to ask, is the annual selection by the Special Operations Brigade difficult?"

"I really want to join the Special Operations Brigade and become a special forces soldier. Squad Leader Chen Ting, do you think I'm qualified?"

The recruit asked urgently, his tone filled with nervousness and excitement.

"The annual selection is not very difficult. Basically, as long as your scores in all subjects are above excellent, you still have a chance."

Chen Ting only gave a brief answer to his question.

Regarding the specific assessment, there will be special officers who will observe the calf muscles of the recruits who want to participate one by one.

Because so many subjects involve physical fitness and long-distance running, the officers who select soldiers can basically tell whether a recruit can enter the special operations brigade by the approximate shape of his leg muscles.

At the same time, there will be assessments when selecting soldiers, and a full elimination system will be adopted. Those who are not strong enough will be eliminated directly, so he is not sure.

"I see. Thank you, monitor."

The new recruit from squad four nodded and sat back in his seat.

With the new recruit from Class 4 taking the lead, the field suddenly became lively, and many new recruits raised their questions one by one.

At the beginning, many people asked Chen Ting about the special operations brigade.

However, after hearing that the selection for the special operations brigade would be extremely strict, he gradually gave up and turned to asking the other two veterans.

"Squad Leader, I want to know if the daily training load will be particularly heavy after I join the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade!"

"Squad leader, I want to know which unit can have an easier time, and which unit has female soldiers?"

"Squad leader, what is motorized infantry? Does it mean that after entering, everyone will be equipped with a motorcycle? That would be so cool!"
