He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 170 A Surprise from the Veterans of the Company

"Again!"

"It's been three months. Think about your own level and how much progress you have made. How can there be such a big gap between soldiers of the same year?"

"I agree. I think since you have all joined the army, and you are in the special operations brigade, you should not waste any time. If you are not on the way to training, you are in training!"

Lu Qinglong, who was standing in front of Ji Baichang, echoed Ji Baichang's words.

Especially during this training, he saw that although the living conditions of those border defense troops were very difficult, they were obviously rich in spirit.

When faced with conflicts, it is these border guards who are at the forefront.

In comparison, the new recruits of the special operations brigade have only been in the brigade for three months, and their lives are completely different. Now, is there nothing to say about these new recruits?
Thinking of this, Lu Qinglong took a step forward, and the powerful aura on his body suddenly emanated:

"You guys are not convinced because you didn't work hard?"

"If anyone dares to say that again, I'll give you a slap in the face!"

After Lu Qinglong finished speaking, the recruits who were originally a little noisy suddenly became quiet.

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Are you kidding?
The feeling erupting from this monster really gave them goosebumps. This was definitely not a joke!

Thinking of this, all the recruits dispersed obediently, some did their warm-up, and some continued to look at the test bench.

"Okay Qinglong, these new recruits haven't seen much of the world. After all, they are all new recruits, so please understand."

Ji Baichang stood behind Lu Qinglong and patted his lower back and said.

To be honest, the aura that just erupted from Lu Qinglong scared him even though he was standing behind Lu Qinglong.

"Well, they are all new recruits after all."

Lu Qinglong nodded, and the aura on his body slowly subsided.

He was just a little angry. The performance of these recruits was so bad that he could totally doubt what the squad leader had been teaching them for the past three months.
"Next up, Lu Qinglong, get ready. Next up, Xue Daochao. Speed ​​up."

Perhaps in order to speed up the time, the referee has started calling out the names of two people.

Lu Qinglong walked forward, picked up the training rifle and stood at the starting point.

As soon as the referee shouted "start", he started moving immediately.

However, he did not stand still and start shooting like Ji Baichang did, but moved forward.

While moving, pull the trigger in your hand.

This method also made other recruits' eyes light up.

The final result was 2.4 seconds, which was not as fast as Ji Baichang, but much faster than Li Wa.

Next is Xue Daochao.

Xue Daochao used the same method as Lu Qinglong.

After hitting five targets, the referee called out a score of 2.5 seconds, which was 0.1 second slower than Lu Qinglong.

The performance of these four people made the new recruits fall into deep self-doubt.

They are obviously new recruits, why are these four so exaggerated?

Could it be that they really were slacking off during the three months in the special operations brigade and made no progress at all?
But their training intensity is obviously much higher than that of the recruit company, and they have to study a lot of subjects every day!
"The next subject is indoor close combat. After this subject is tested, we will test the basic physical fitness and that will be the end."

The veteran referee shouted, then walked to the CQB venue and began to make some simple arrangements for the venue.

The rules of CQB are also very simple. Four people form a group and take turns attacking and defending to conduct the assessment.

If one team is eliminated first, the other team wins.

The four of them drew lots for the first group.

They had been training on the plateau for three months and were extremely familiar with the subject.

Unsurprisingly, the four of them once again crushed all the new recruits.

The same applies to the remaining physical fitness tests.

Because they had just come down from the plateau, even Ji Baichang, who had the worst physical fitness, showed physical fitness far ahead of other recruits.

The same is true for many physical fitness test subjects.

"Okay, it's getting late, all the companies should pack up and prepare to take it back for dinner."

"Tonight, we will compile a list of the names of the companies you have been assigned to. Please take them back to your respective companies."

The entire pre-company assessment was over. After counting the scores of all the recruits, the captain waved his hand, and the squad leaders of the three companies began to take the recruits back to their own companies.

Lu Qinglong and the other four took another route and went straight back to the First Company of the First Battalion. They pushed open the door of Class One and walked in.

Inside the classroom, because it was almost time for dinner, all the veterans in the class were there.

Seeing the four of them coming back, Deputy Ding Wei, who was sitting nearby, said with a smile:

"Have you finished the exam? How were your scores?"

"We were just saying that if you can't make it back for dinner, we'll leave you a meal."

As soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, Ji Baichang immediately replied in a very cocky manner: "Haha, Deputy Class Leader Ding Wei, you definitely don't know how cool we were in the test just now!"

"The level of these new recruits is so poor! I even suspect that they have been too relaxed in the past three months. Why haven't they practiced anything?"

"Especially during the assessment, there was some kind of fixed-point shooting. At first I thought it would be very difficult, but in the end there were five targets placed there, and you had to hit the targets within the specified time."

"Squad leader, do you know the passing time? Ten seconds is considered passing!"

"These ten damn seconds are enough for you to beat me up eight hundred times!"

Ji Baichang walked up to Chen Ting with some excitement and started describing the story with his hands and feet gesticulating.

"Normal. Generally speaking, the first three months are for recruits to do more physical training. After all, only half of them will be assigned to combat units, so there's no need to be so strict."

"In short, don't be complacent. Your military quality is much worse than that of the veterans in our company. Don't be proud."

"Look at the veterans in our class, which one is not better than you?"

Chen Ting nodded and told Ji Baichang earnestly not to be too proud and complacent.

"Don't worry, squad leader! No, I'm not the best. How can I be proud and complacent?"

"I still understand that there are always people who are better than you!"

Ji Baichang nodded, squatted under his bed, took out a bottle of energy drink and started drinking it.

Outside the building, about two minutes after the four of them returned to the classroom, the attendant blew the whistle to signal the start of dinner.

The veterans in the building came down one after another and stood together lazily.

Company commander Chen Tianjian didn't have any special reaction to this. Everyone knew that sitting in the car for two or three days was very tiring and hard.

In addition, for these veterans, returning to the brigade is like truly returning home, and they should relax as much as possible.

He nodded to the attendant and was told that he could go to the cafeteria to eat.

The four of them followed the veterans' team and walked unsteadily towards their cafeteria.

During these days on the plateau, not only have they adapted to life with the veterans, but the veterans have also adapted to these four new recruits.

Especially Lu Qinglong's tall and safe figure. If I don't look at him a few times a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over.

"Oh, Qinglong, it seems that the glass door of the cafeteria has been repaired."

Standing outside the cafeteria, Ji Baichang poked Lu Qinglong with his elbow and whispered:

He still remembered the first time he had dinner with this group of veterans. The scene where Lu Qinglong appeared and frightened everyone in the audience was so funny.

It’s already been three months, and it feels like time has passed really quickly.

"Why are you bringing up something else? I noticed that the food today seems pretty good."

The visual advantage brought by Lu Qinglong's height allowed him to see at a glance that in addition to some delicious fish and meat in the cafeteria today, there seemed to be a big cake?

Strange, is this also part of celebrating their successful completion of the mission?

"Really? I'm so greedy!"

A happy smile appeared on Ji Baichang's face.

After singing a song before the meal, the four followed a group of veterans into the cafeteria.

The big cake that came into view was a dazzle to the eyes of the three people except Lu Qinglong.

"Deputy Captain Ding Wei, what's going on? Are there any big cakes to celebrate our return?"

Ji Baichang asked in surprise.

His reaction was similar to Lu Qinglong's. They both first wondered why the special operations brigade had such a way of celebration?
Ding Wei did not answer Ji Baichang's words. Instead, he looked at Ji Baichang meaningfully, which made Ji Baichang even more confused.

When all the veterans were seated, they did not get their meals immediately. Instead, they all looked towards the duty officer and the direction of the first shift.

The attendant saw that everyone was present, then he cleared his throat and said:
"Today is the day we return from the training base. It is also the birthday of a comrade among us."

"So, this big cake is also a birthday present for this comrade from all of us veterans in the company."

"Let's welcome our birthday boy, Comrade Ji Baichang, with applause. Please come up and say a few words."

“Pala, paala~”

There was a burst of lively applause.

Ji Baichang's mind hadn't figured it out yet and he was still clapping his hands. Then he realized that everyone's eyes were on him, and he felt something was wrong.

He was almost lifted up by Lu Qinglong beside him, and then walked to the duty officer with a blank mind.

It was only at this time that he reacted.

It seems like it’s really my birthday today!

This cake was specially prepared for him?!
I almost forgot that today is my birthday.

As a result, the veterans who had been with him for three months knew that today was his birthday!
　I've been on IV drip for a day and I'm feeling better now. I'll update you all as usual.
