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

"Normal. I haven't run as hard as I can yet."

"I could probably go another minute faster if I wanted to."

"Ah! Can it be one minute faster???"

The officer on duty was completely numb. If he ran one minute faster, it would mean running five kilometers in fourteen minutes?
This result is close to the three-kilometer run of some slow runners.

"hu~hu~"

"Duty Officer, how much have I run!"

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao crossed the finish line at the same time.

After Ji Baichang crossed the finish line, he was breathing heavily and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

It can be seen that he has reached his limit and can't go any faster.

Xue Daochao who was beside him was in a slightly better condition than him. At least he didn't look as weak as Ji Bai.

"Sixteen minutes and ten seconds, not bad! As expected of a platoon leader who graduated from the Army Special Operations Academy, he's really awesome!"

The attendant also gave a thumbs up to Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao.

The achievements of these three people can be said to be exaggerated.

The fourth person to cross the finish line was the fourth row leader Li Xiang, who took seventeen and a half minutes.

He thought this was a pretty good result, but when he saw that Ji Baichang and the other three had arrived early, his pride was immediately put away.

What followed was that a large group of veterans from the company crossed the finish line.

Just like what the instructor said at the beginning, most of their grades were stuck between excellent and passing.

This is just bare-handed, without any weight. If they were carrying any weight, their speed would be two minutes slower, and they would be stuck on the passing line for the armed five-kilometer race.

The overall performance of their company should be among the top few among the infantry units in the entire brigade. After all, there is no one at the bottom.

However, in the eyes of Lu Qinglong and the other three, it was obviously not good enough.

Basically, when I was in the special operations brigade, any company selected could finish the 5-kilometer unarmed run in 20 minutes, which was an excellent level of the group.

Veterans crossed the finish line one after another, watching the duty officer record the top scores. During those horrific fifteen minutes, all the veterans felt a deep despair.

For these five kilometers in fifteen minutes, is there any other difference between that person and a motorcycle?

If used in urban areas, its speed can catch up with that of online-hailing taxis.

"Awesome, platoon leader. You are indeed a soldier who was promoted to officer. You are so fierce!"

"I'm convinced. Just this one subject has already broken the record of our brigade. He is indeed a person who came down from the super-large army. He is so powerful!"

Now almost all the veterans are convinced. They feel that Lu Qinglong is a bit exaggerated.

Apart from anything else, I can finish running 5 kilometers without any exercise in 15 minutes.

What about the weapons?

Lu Qinglong looks like a player with a large base weight. Carrying more than 20 kilograms of weight, what difference does it make to him compared to not carrying any weight?
This means that his armed five-kilometer run results are not much different from his unarmed five-kilometer run results.

Thinking of this, the veterans in the company were completely convinced.

The five-kilometer freehand running subject is, after all, just an appetizer.

When they saw Lu Qinglong performing the horizontal bar eight exercises on the horizontal bar, they were so scared that their eyes almost popped out.

The instructor was also among them, who quickly called on seven or eight veterans with a heavier base weight in the company to hold on to the horizontal bar tightly. This allowed Lu Qinglong to barely turn a few circles on the bar and finally land steadily.

"Platoon Leader Lu, you don't need to do this horizontal bar exercise anymore. I know you can finish it."

"Next time there is an assessment, I will give you an excellent grade."

After Lu Qinglong got off the horizontal bar, the instructor immediately came forward and spoke.

He was really scared enough.

It was scary enough when Lu Qinglong performed one-handed pull-ups over his waist.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qinglong started spinning directly on the horizontal bar.

The horizontal bar let out a series of suffocating cries, as if it would be ruthlessly pulled apart by Lu Qinglong in the next second.

In short, he really didn't want to see this scene again.

"Okay, instructor, this horizontal bar of our brigade is pretty sturdy. I'm also helping the veterans behind me to see if this horizontal bar is strong enough."

Lu Qinglong responded with a smile.

The old soldier in the rear listened to his words, his mouth twitched, his mouth slightly opened, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After Lu Qinglong demonstrated his horizontal bar exercises one to eight, Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao also came forward to demonstrate.

Exercises one to eight on the horizontal bar can be considered as exercises for body coordination. If you can do these exercises well on a normal basis, it will greatly improve your core aspects.

Exercises one to eight were also a bit difficult. At first, Lu Qinglong learned them all in just half a month.

It took Xue Daochao one and a half months, while Ji Baichang was a little slower. He practiced for a full three months before he mastered exercises one to eight on the horizontal bar.

In fact, this thing mainly depends on personal comprehension ability.

In the special reconnaissance company they were in, there were only two veterans who could actually complete exercises one to eight.

These two veterans have served in the army for many years and have a relatively long service life.

After the afternoon physical training was completed, the instructor stood in front of everyone and said in a loud voice:

"Today is the last health and physical training. Starting from next Monday, the brigade will issue a series of combat physical training."

"That is to say, your immediate physical training will be doubled in intensity, and will be closer to actual combat training."

"It just so happens that the company commander will be back next Monday. He will then assess your physical fitness and formulate a training plan based on the situation of each of you."

"Disband."

The instructor disbanded the team, and the veterans lazily returned to their respective classes for a brief rest.

After a short rest, the group went to the canteen for dinner.

After dinner, the veterans also received their cell phones and rested.

This is actually the daily routine of a regular company.

Normally, mobile phones are kept in the mobile phone cabinet inside the company headquarters.

After the morning exercise class, you can give out mobile phones during the two hours of rest after lunch. You have to hand in your mobile phone when you wake up. Then, after the afternoon exercise class, you have to hand in your mobile phone during the one hour after dinner if there is night training at night.

If there is no night training at night, mobile phones will be collected within ten minutes before lights out and then handed in to the company headquarters.

The special reconnaissance company under the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade where Lu Qinglong and his colleagues are currently located has very complete daily life rules and regulations, so the control over personnel's mobile phones is also quite strict.

It’s not like in the special operations brigade, where new recruits can use their cell phones freely without having to hand them in.

Of course, these are actually related to the style of each brigade.

The entire special operations brigade is the kind that tends to be sloppy and careless.

It's like this from top to bottom. No wonder the grassroots companies below only focus on training and don't care about anything else.

After all, the commander of the special operations brigade has repeatedly emphasized that as long as they can be deployed at critical moments and kill the enemy, they are all good soldiers!

"Qinglong, do you want to go down and practice more tonight?"

"I feel like my running speed has slowed down a lot in the past few days. At least let me recover my best physical fitness first."

Ji Baichang pushed open the door of Class 1, nodded to the other veterans inside, and walked to Lu Qinglong's bed.

"Okay, let's practice together. I'm not in good shape because of my vacation. Let's get back in shape."

Lu Qinglong nodded, and after following Ji Baichang out for a while, he found that Xue Daochao was also waiting outside the door.

Lu Qinglong understood it through the five-kilometer unarmed run they completed this afternoon and the degree to which their legs were shaking.

These two people have simply drained themselves dry. Now they are extremely exhausted and need to recover their bodies as soon as possible.

"Next time you two are on vacation, don't mess around like this. Be moderate."

"You can't just mess around when you're on vacation. You should know how many times you've done it in the past ten days."

"You really spent all the money you saved in the year, didn't you?"

Lu Qinglong talked to the two of them in a rambling manner like Tang Monk.

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao also nodded slightly to show that they understood. They had indeed had a lot of fun during the ten days of vacation, partying every night.

Their extra training at night was actually just a simple five-kilometer armed run.

Then I returned to the company just before watching the news at 7 o'clock.

It just so happened that the veterans of the company were holding their small stools and were about to go to the club to watch the news, when they happened to meet the three men who had returned from fully armed combat.

"Strange! Look at the platoon leader. He already has very good physical fitness, and now he takes time out from our rest time to go out for extra training. This guy is really incomparable!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're worthy of being a special platoon leader, you're passionate."

The veterans expressed their feelings verbally, but in reality, if they were asked to sacrifice their rest time for training like those three did, they would definitely complain.

It goes without saying that they would not want to do this.

In fact, most veterans no longer have any passion for training. In their opinion, they just need to train well when training and rest well when resting, and not think about all those miscellaneous things.

Some of them even didn't quite understand the three platoon leaders.

I don't understand why we have to do extra training during their rest time. Wouldn't that just add to their anxiety?

There are more than ninety veterans in one company, and each of them has different ideas.

Some people may stay in the army simply because they feel that the working environment outside is not good, and after leaving the army they cannot find a job with food and accommodation provided.

In other words, not everyone is as pure as Lu Qinglong and loves the army so much.

"Well, the four platoon leaders, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

The club has already started broadcasting tonight's news. The instructor patted the four people on the shoulders from the back door, and the four followed him into the meeting room.

The instructor looked a little anxious.

After the four of them sat firmly in their seats, the instructor smiled and then asked Lu Qinglong and the other two how they felt about coming to the company.

"Instructor, I feel that our company is more formalized than the company in our previous special operations brigade."

"But it seems that the overall military quality may not be as good as the company I was in at the time."

Lu Qinglong thought for a moment, then told the instructor his true feelings.

In fact, there is one thing that Lu Qinglong did not say, which is that he felt that the old soldiers in the company were not united.

Maybe it was because the company had only been formed half a month ago and they had not experienced any missions together or any difficult training, so Lu Qinglong felt that everyone had their own thoughts.

"Yeah, that's normal. What you said makes sense."

"After all, our company has just been established, and we have recruited many personnel with certain military qualities from the brigade."

"Plus, I was originally just a clerk in the office building, and now I've been transferred here to be an instructor. There may be a lot that I don't understand, so I still need the four of you to bear with me."

"The reason we called you four here this time is because we just received news."

"Maybe after the company commander comes back next Monday, we will have to conduct special training for the entire company for half a month."

"After the special training, we have a mission and we have to follow the special forces, that is, follow your special operations brigade to carry out the mission."

"Then I hope that during this period of time, I know that the three of you are outstanding students who have just graduated from the Special Operations Academy. I hope you can help guide these veterans in the company."

"Their combat capabilities are really far behind yours."

"With this mission, it might be a bit dangerous to carry out a mission abroad. I want all the veterans in the company to come back safely, so thank you for your hard work."

The instructor spoke very sincerely.

He really saw that the combat capabilities of Lu Qinglong and the other three were far superior to his own.

He was just an instructor who had just been appointed as a special reconnaissance company.

Before, he was just an ordinary clerk in an office building and didn't know much about special operations.

When he received the news from the company commander, he was quite worried about this matter.

But later on, I suddenly thought of the fact that the company just happened to have three platoon leaders who were top students who graduated from the Special Operations Academy.

These three people looked very powerful and had all experienced war. They were definitely talents. Now he was not so panicked anymore.

"No problem, instructor. Since we are all part of the company and are now platoon leaders, we will definitely take good care of the veterans of the company."

"As long as the veterans follow our instructions, we guarantee that everyone will be fine."

Ji Baichang opened his mouth and answered the instructor's words. (End of this chapter)
