Chapter 290 Graduation from Military Academy!

seven months later
"Hold on, Bai Chang. It's the last day of Devil's Week. Just hold on a little longer and it will be over. Soon our class will be first."

Looking at Ji Baichang, whose legs were shaking from running and who might faint at any moment, Lu Qinglong reached out to take the backpack from Ji Baichang's back, but Ji Baichang clapped his hands and opened it:
"I know you don't need to carry my backpack. I can do it!"

Ji Baichang's face revealed determination. Although his physical strength had already reached its limit, he still gritted his teeth and held his breath as he ran forward.

The situations of the other classes were similar. Ji Bai was one of the better-looking ones, but the others were a little overwhelmed.

But even so, their class as a whole was still nearly two kilometers ahead of the other classes.

During the one-week devil's week, they could only rest for less than four hours a day on average, and the food they ate was just some leftovers. The energy they replenished was far less than what they consumed.

On average, each person lost 5 or 6 kilograms, and it became more difficult as time went on.

Fortunately, this is the last day. As long as they can endure the last 50 kilometers of sprint, they will have completely completed all the subjects in the military academy.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Go faster, you are too slow!"

Company commander Sun Jie, standing at the finish line, was shouting through a loud speaker.

However, everyone else in Class 1 had reached their limit and was gritting their teeth, holding on with their last breath.

Lu Qinglong was running at the end of the team. When he saw someone falling behind, he would considerately hold their bag from behind to lighten their load.

Maybe after this whole devilish week, he was the only one who seemed fine.

"Sprint! Sprint! The last hundred meters!"

Hearing Sun Jie's shouts in the front, everyone gritted their teeth and started the final sprint.

At this time, Lu Qinglong finally stretched out his big hand, pushed the bags of the three students running at the back, and led them forward.

"Hey!"

Ji Baichang shouted loudly, and he and Xue Daochao beside him were the first to cross the finish line. Then the rest of the group behind him all crossed the finish line one after another.

Company commander Sun Jie pressed the stopwatch and looked at the results with a satisfied smile on his face:
"Not bad, it has broken the record of the 50-kilometer armed assault over the years, not bad!"

The crowd could not hear the praise from the company commander Sun Jie at all. After running a full 50 kilometers, they all sat down on the ground, began to frantically untie the backpacks on their backs, and then lay there in a completely ungraceful manner.

With each of them taking deep breaths, you could clearly see the rise and fall of everyone's chest.

"It's finally over."

"Captain, when are we going back to our original unit? The day after tomorrow?"

Lu Qinglong, like nothing had happened, picked up the kettle and took a sip of water. Then he pursed his lips and asked the company commander Sun Jie.

"Almost. I'll give you a day off tomorrow and hold a closing ceremony. Then you can pack up and leave the day after tomorrow."

"By the way, Lu Qinglong."

"Would you like to consider staying in the military academy?"

Although Sun Jie had asked Lu Qinglong this question many times, he still felt it was a bit of a pity.

If Lu Qinglong stays in the military academy to develop, he might be able to become the dean of the special operations branch in the future. With Lu Qinglong's future development, he will definitely be more than qualified to be the dean of a branch.

"Captain Sun, you are joking."

"I don't like a life that's too comfortable. I like to be on the sidelines or perform tasks that ordinary people can't do."

Listening to Lu Qinglong's words, Sun Jie shook his head, realizing that it was impossible for him to change Lu Qinglong's mind.

Lu Qinglong is like a bird out of a cage. Military academy can only be a transition, not a belonging.

"Okay, then go back to your original unit and train hard. Don't waste your body."

Company commander Sun Jie said nothing more and continued to time the other class members behind him.

By the time the second class reached the finish line, many people in Class 1 had already recovered and forced themselves to stand up.

The feeling of having every cell in the body squeezed dry is so addictive.

They are all people who have survived the Devil's Week. Suddenly, it seems that nothing can be more difficult than the Devil's Week, right?

After everyone crossed the finish line one after another, the entire grass was filled with students lying on the ground. All of them had tiredness on their faces, and at this moment they felt extremely relaxed.

Company commander Sun Jie was not in a hurry to wake them up, but just looked at them.

When he felt the time was about right, he organized the team and took these students, who seemed to be walking unsteadily, back to the company.

The kitchen staff also prepared a very sumptuous dinner for them. Everyone’s mouths were drooling with oil as they ate. After eating something like pig food for a whole week, this was the first time they felt that the kitchen staff could cook such delicious food!
It was only six o'clock after dinner, and the company commander Sun Jie planned to give a short holiday to these students who had been exhausted for ten months.

After returning to the company at six o'clock, we can wash up and rest directly without having to attend the regular evening roll call.

After washing up, everyone lay down on the bed and started snoring at a steady pace. They all fell asleep as soon as they got to the bed.

The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, the wake-up whistle sounded over the radio in the military academy very punctually.

After getting up, everyone still felt a little sleep deprived. After marching downstairs and shouting a few slogans, Li Guang, who was at the head of the group, was about to lead the group to the playground for morning exercises. However, this time, he was stopped by the company commander Sun Jie:

"No! Li Guang, the leader, what are you doing?"

"what?"

"Captain, aren't we doing drill today?"

Li Guang answered in a daze.

Don't you run three kilometers every morning to wake yourself up? This three-kilometer run has become a habit, even if it rains, you insist on running. Why don't you run now?

"You don't have to do exercises today and tomorrow. After breakfast, clean up."

"It's almost time for the regular classes in the morning. You will change into your regular uniforms. We will hold a graduation ceremony for you in the morning and confer your titles on you. In the afternoon, you can pack your luggage and I will book tickets for you. You can go back to your respective units tomorrow."

"Okay, that's all the content, let's disband it."

Company commander Sun Jie waved his hand.

Even after they were called to disperse, no one moved. They all stood where they were, looking at each other in disbelief.

After a long time, someone finally reacted and whispered in the queue:
"Aren't we graduated? We don't have to stay in the military academy anymore!"

After this person said this, the others nodded one after another, finally realizing:

They graduated.

After ten months of hard study and training, they finally graduated. "Huh? Qinglong! Did the company commander just talk about the promotion of ranks?"

Ji Baichang suddenly realized that they were about to become real officers!
Although they are the lowest-ranking second lieutenant, it also represents that they are officers!
It is now July. Some time ago, my father called me and wanted me to come back as he planned to send Ji Baichang to study abroad.

After all, it was promised to Ji Baichang that he only needed to stay in the army for two years, so all the tax money for these two years would be given to Ji Baichang.

But unexpectedly, Ji Baichang directly refused and said that he wanted to work in the army for a long time.

At that time, the father and son had a quarrel over this matter, but it ended up in nothing and no result was reached.

"Yeah, we're going to be a second lieutenant soon."

Lu Qinglong nodded in response.

This also means that they will be able to take leave like the non-commissioned officers and officers.

Finally I have the chance to go back and see my mother and Lin Qinghan.

If there was one thing that Lu Qinglong felt was not so good about the army, it was probably that apart from having less time to spend with his family, everything else was actually fine.

"Hoho! When I get the rank of second lieutenant, I'm going to scare my dad to death!"

"Qinglong, how about this? After I graduate, I plan to ask the company commander Chen Tianjian to approve a leave for the three of us first."

"I can't wait to wear a military uniform and appear in front of my father! What do you two think, Lu Qinglong and Lao Xue?"

Ji Baichang blinked at Lu Qinglong and Xue Daochao. He was already eager to take a vacation.

The main reason is that after spending ten months in military school, he really longs for freedom.

"Sure, I just happened to go back to see my mom, that's what I was planning to do as well."

Lu Qinglong nodded in response.

"What about you, Old Xue? What are your plans?"

Ji Baichang's gaze was fixed on Xue Daochao.

"I'm fine. I haven't been home for a long time. I'm going home to see my parents."

Xue Daochao nodded slightly.

"Yes! Then I will contact the company commander now and explain the situation to him to see if he will approve leave for the three of us."

Ji Baichang nodded excitedly, then returned to the class and used his mobile phone to send a message to the company commander Chen Tianjian on WeChat.

They basically never leave their cell phones behind nowadays, and we won’t collect their cell phones. They will be kept close to them.

However, because they were so tired from training some time ago, they had no time to play with their mobile phones and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training.

Now it is finally over.

Less than three minutes after the message was sent, the company commander Chen Tianjian quickly gave the three of them a reply:
"Sure. Your current ranks and identities have just been transferred, and you are still in our company. I will apply for you online now."

"By the way, maybe when you come back, you may not necessarily return to our company. It is possible that the three of you will need to go to other brigades of the group army and start from the grassroots level."

Looking at the message sent by Company Commander Chen Tianjian, Ji Baichang couldn't help but reveal a confused expression on his face.

He can understand these words, so why is it that he has a hard time understanding what they mean when they are put together?
"Hmm? The company commander means that he agrees to let us take a leave?"

“But when we come back from vacation, we don’t have to go back to our company, but go directly to the grassroots companies of other brigades.”

"That's what you mean."

Lu Qinglong seemed to understand the meaning of the message sent by Company Commander Chen Tianjian.

Listening to Lu Qinglong's explanation, Ji Baichang's face suddenly showed a frustrated expression:
"Huh? Why can't we go back to the first company? Why do we have to go to other brigades? Are we going to start leading troops now?"

Originally he thought he would return to the first company and then serve as a platoon leader. At first he thought this would not be very difficult.

After all, Ji Bai was familiar with all the veterans in the company. Although he hadn't seen them for ten months, there had not been any major changes in the company's personnel. If he gave any orders, these veterans would be very welcoming.

But it is hard to say when it comes to the grassroots companies of other brigades.

Maybe there are some old soldiers who are not convinced and so on. Anyway, it's quite difficult to deal with.

"Forget it, it's just leading the troops."

"Didn't we learn a lot about leading soldiers in military academy?"

"Besides, we are still the 82nd Army Group. It's not like we are starting over. Our roots are in the 82nd Army Group."

Lu Qinglong seemed to see what Ji Baichang wanted to say, so he smiled and comforted him.

"Well, that's the truth. We are originally from the 82nd Army Group, and our roots are here."

Ji Baichang spread his hands, and the uneasy feeling in his heart quickly disappeared, replaced by the excitement of graduating soon and becoming a second lieutenant!
In fact, he never dreamed that he would become an officer.

Before joining the army, what I thought about most was to just live a carefree life for the next two years. When the two years were up, I would be discharged from the army and go home to live a carefree life.

But unknowingly, the gears of his destiny had begun to turn. He just followed Lu Qinglong, and after completing some almost impossible tasks, he also became a real soldier.

Although his usual behavior is still a bit ruffian, he is obviously different from when he first arrived in the army. After going through some things, he has become more and more mature.

"Indeed, I feel that there is no need for Bai Chang to worry so much. Let's have breakfast first."

"Let's buy the tickets home tonight."

"By the way, Bai Chang and Xue Daochao, are you two going to visit Yangcheng? My mom said she wants to host you two."

Lu Qinglong suddenly asked Ji Baichang with a smile.

When he was video chatting with his mother before, she always asked Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao to come to Yangcheng as guests if they had the chance, so Lu Qinglong always remembered this.

"Of course you can, Qinglong!"

"I was wondering if you guys would like to come to Yanjing to have some fun. I'll take you to see Tiananmen Square."

"No hurry, no hurry. Let's go back and see if we have time. If we do, we can take a look around."

Lu Qinglong replied with a smile.

It happened to be summer vacation in July, and Lin Qinghan was also on vacation, so he should have returned to Yangcheng.
