"Ah? Squad leader, you are not kidding me, right?"

"What kind of unit requires people to carry heavy loads and run twenty kilometers every day?"

"I'm already out of breath after running three kilometers, let alone carrying weights!"

Song Si's face was filled with despair. The happier he had been smiling just now, the more miserable he felt now.

"Can I still lie to you?"

"This armed reconnaissance battalion was established by the first battalion last year. It draws on the best veterans from the entire brigade to carry out some special missions."

"Anyway, you should practice hard when you get there. Your grades won't improve under my command. There will be some very amiable veterans there to teach you."

Chen Ting shook his head.

He actually didn't know what to say about Song Si's words.

He sees many new recruits like Song Si every year, all of whom just want to spend their days fooling around.

If nothing unexpected happens, Song Si simply cannot bear the high-intensity training in the armed reconnaissance battalion, and is assigned to the kitchen squad, cooking every day, and is discharged from the army two years later.

This is what is most likely to happen to a recruit of his type in the future.

Song Si was already standing there in a daze, as if he had imagined what miserable days he would have after being transferred to another company.

"Okay, if there's anything you didn't hear clearly and want to confirm, go downstairs and check it yourself at the duty table."

"After you go back, you can start packing your things. Tomorrow, people from each brigade will come to pick you up one after another."

After Chen Tianjian finished speaking, he turned and left the club.

After the duty officer announced the disbandment, all the new recruits were in a panic and kept flocking to their squad leaders, wanting to know whether the brigade they were assigned to was reliable or not.

However, some of the new recruits were skeptical and ran to the company duty table again to check the forms placed by the company commander Chen Tianjian.

Song Si is naturally one of them.

When he saw that his name was indeed assigned to the Heavy Combined Brigade, Armed Reconnaissance Battalion, he stood there in a daze, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, his whole body shaking, and he almost fell to the ground, unable to stand up. It was obvious that he was looking at a dark future.

"Hey, isn't this Song Si?"

"Why are you so upset after not seeing you for a few minutes?"

Ji Baichang passed by and had a funny expression on his face, and couldn't help but tease.

He is definitely good at being sarcastic. Song Si, who had been trying hard to convince himself to accept this reality, almost exploded with anger after hearing Ji Baichang's words.

He himself couldn't fight with Ji Baichang at this time, because Lu Qinglong was standing behind Ji Baichang!

"Tsk tsk, Qinglong, let's go, let's go to the warehouse to pack our things and prepare to go to the Special Operations Brigade!"

Ji Baichang's voice was very loud, as if he was saying it on purpose for Song Si to hear. The other recruits around him also cast envious glances at Ji Baichang.

Special Operations Brigade!

To be honest, they are envious for sure, after all, that is everyone's dreamland, but the training there is also very hard, and only those who can endure hardship can go there.

"Sergeant, when will someone from our brigade come to pick us up?"

After packing up their things, the three of them couldn't wait to return to the classroom and asked excitedly.

It is said that the veterans in the special operations brigade are very efficient, and they want to see how efficient they are.

Ji Baichang also changed his words very quickly and changed the name of the special operations brigade to "our brigade".

"People from our brigade? It's early, very early."

"Most of our brigade's personnel are currently stationed outside for training. We will probably have to wait until all the recruits from the other eleven brigades have left before it will be our turn to come."

"You guys are packing up a little early."

Chen Ting looked at the three of them and said this.

"Is that so, squad leader?"

"Has our letter of request been approved, squad leader?!"

Lu Qinglong asked impatiently.

Since the three of them have passed the assessment of the special operations brigade, it means that the letter of request to join the battle has also been submitted.

"A letter of challenge from the three of you?"

"It hasn't come down yet. Usually they will notify you a week before departure. It's not December yet."

"Oh, by the way, let me share a concept with you."

"Our brigade is different from other brigades."

Chen Ting sat up from the bed. The phone in his hand was originally scrolling through some children's toys, but he also exited the interface.

"Squad leader, what do you think of this concept?"

The three of them moved a small stool and sat curiously beside Chen Ting's bed.

"The entire special operations brigade has a total of five battalions, and there are about 200 new recruits joining our brigade every year."

"It is impossible for these two hundred people to be randomly assigned to the five battalions. Before being assigned to each battalion and company, they must undergo a month of special training."

"The main purpose is to practice some basic concepts of some special subjects, and also to give you new recruits a buffer period for physical fitness."

"When the month is up, we will make a reference based on the ranking of each subject's scores. Those with good physical fitness will be assigned to the first and second battalions, and the others who are not so good will be placed at the back."

"You can understand it as survival of the fittest, the same principle as raising insects."

After Chen Ting finished speaking, the three of them showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. However, Ji Baichang quickly reacted and asked:

"Hey! The monitor is wrong."

"If our petition for war is approved, won't No. 7 have to pack up and head west?"

"Then can the three of us still participate in this so-called one-month special training for new recruits?"

If what Chen Ting said was true, then the three of them would be really weird.

Don't train with other recruits, just go on missions first.

They didn't know how long this mission would take. They probably wouldn't recognize any of the new recruits when they came back. Maybe some skills those new recruits could learn during this time, but the three of them wouldn't be able to learn them.

That's not right! Didn't Chen Ting follow the three of them the whole time? Then he could also learn during the mission.

Huh? It seems pretty good when you think about it this way.

It would be great to not have to endure another month of miserable collective life and be able to go on a mission directly!

"decide as things go."

"If the letter of request is approved for you three, you three can just follow me. You definitely won't have to go through that month of special training."

"That one month of special training is just to teach them the simplest concepts. It doesn't teach them anything profound."

"You can learn by staying with me anyway."

Chen Ting thought for a while and then began to explain.

"Understood, squad leader!"

The three of them answered in unison.

Later in the evening, the three of them still chose to carry weights and go to the playground on the back mountain to run, but the playground was obviously much quieter. Except for a few headlights that could illuminate the entire playground, everything else was quiet and there was no one in sight.

Under normal circumstances, there should be a few veteran soldiers urging several classes of new recruits to train their physical fitness hard on the playground.

However, as the next company is approaching, no veteran soldiers will ask the new recruits to do physical training at this time.

The assignment to the next company has been completed. What the veterans need to do is to form a group with the new recruits in their class and be nice to them during this period.

In this way, after the new recruits are assigned to the company, they will still remember the kindness of the old soldiers, and will not resent the old soldiers after being assigned to the company.

"hu~hu~"

"If possible, I'd like to stay in the recruit company until I retire."

After running a full ten kilometers, Ji Baichang collapsed on the ground in the playground, gasping for breath.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to leave the land under his feet.

After all, I have been here for almost three months. Here, I have transformed from a local youth to a soldier.

"Retire? Bai Chang, you're not going to be like Song Si and go home after two years, right?"

Hearing the word "discharge" from Ji Baichang's mouth, Lu Qinglong on the side immediately asked impatiently.

"I don't know. It feels like time has passed very quickly. I may not have experienced all the new things in two years."

Ji Baichang shook his head. He himself was not sure how long he wanted to stay in the army.

Most people who join the army do so in order to have a better future in the army.

After all, even if you only serve as a conscript in the army for two years, when you are discharged from the army and return to some first-tier cities, your severance pay will be more than 200,000 yuan.

The total retirement benefits in ordinary third- and fourth-tier cities are more than 100,000 yuan.

Except for a few special areas, joining the army is actually a very clear choice.

In the army, food and accommodation are provided, and there is also money paid every month, so it is much easier to save money than outside.

But Ji Baichang is different. He didn't join the army for money.

Part of the reason is that his family has to pay a lot of taxes every year, so he joins the army to offset the taxes.

On the other hand, he was indeed bored with his previous life, and he preferred the new and novel life in the army.

But if he were to serve in the army for two years and then be discharged, he would always feel like something was missing.

"It's still early now. We haven't even joined the company yet. It's too early to say these things."

"For details, wait until you become a private first class before asking. This virtual dog himself doesn't even know how many years he will serve as a soldier."

Xue Daochao, who had been silent, spoke at the right time to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Haha, that's true. It's still a bit too early now, Qinglong."

"Our primary goal now is to work hard to become stronger, and then go to the west to carry out the mission!"

"I'm really envious of the missions that our special operations brigade will perform!"

Ji Baichang also laughed. When Lu Qinglong heard what the two said, he no longer had a stern face. He asked the two men to help him fill the backpacks that they used as load-bearing materials and took them in his hands.

The three of them walked back to the company, talking and laughing.

"Have you packed all your things?"

"Tomorrow the people from the first six brigades will come to take you away. Don't leave anything behind when the time comes."

In the classroom, Chen Ting gave instructions to the new recruits.
