My military function points

Chapter 23 The competition begins! Form a new special forces team?
Two days later, the competition was held as scheduled.

All the venues had already been decorated and banners had been put up.

A convoy arrived at the base early in the morning, with forty or fifty people getting off the vehicles.

The leading colonel Chen Rong knew Yang Guowu, who had just taken office as the commander of the 1st Mobile Division last year. He had come to the base twice when he was in the recruit company.

The host of this competition is the 1st Mobile Division, and the division commander Yang Guowu will definitely be present.

Several officers carrying cameras and responsible for publicity photography got off the car and began to find positions to take pictures, while others quickly arrived at various venues to serve as referees.

Yang Guowu came to the team members.

"salute!"

At Xu Ke's command, the eight team members raised their hands and saluted: "Hello, Commander!"

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Yang Guowu returned the greeting with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the team members one by one, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Is this new recruit also a member of the competition team?" Yang Guowu looked at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke: "One of the team members was injured, so Chen Rong was temporarily replaced."

Yang Guowu became interested and looked at Chen Rong: "Your name is Chen Rong?"

"Yes!" Chen Rong straightened his chest and raised his head, answering loudly.

"You look very energetic!" Yang Guowu smiled and asked, "Are you nervous about being dragged up by your captain to participate in the competition?"

"Report to the teacher, there is a little bit! But I will definitely try my best to get a good grade!"

"Hahaha!" Yang Guowu laughed heartily and looked at Xu Ke: "It seems that the young man is full of confidence! Yes, this is what the soldiers of our First Mobile Division should be like!"

After encouraging the players, Yang Guowu called Xu Ke aside and said, "If a player is injured unexpectedly, the temporary substitution will definitely affect the results. I understand. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xu Ke's expression remained unchanged: "Master, does your previous promise still count?"

"Of course it counts! Regardless of whether the individual or team ranks first in a single event, the division will award third-class merit!" Yang Guowu knew what Xu Ke was asking, and after confirming it, he continued:

"You should know why this competition is held here, right?"

Xu Ke nodded: "I know. The five provinces in Central and South China are going to re-establish a special operations team. This competition is actually a preliminary personnel screening."

"Hey? You are more informed than me!" Yang Guowu asked in a low voice: "How about it, have you found any good seedlings in other teams in the past few days?"

Xu Ke's face froze: "Division Commander, do you want me to poach people from other corps openly? I can't do that!"

"I'm not asking you to poach soldiers, I'm asking you to keep an eye out for a few good soldiers, and then directly ask the military to issue a transfer order. Are you still worried that other corps won't let them go?"

Yang Guowu took out a cigarette, and Xu Ke immediately took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"Do you need me to teach you something like this? You are the captain of the new special forces team, so you need to be more careful!"

Xu Ke was a little confused: "Master, do we need to pay attention to this in advance? Can't we just find people based on the results of the competition?"

"Your brain was quite useful when you were commanding operations. Why can't you come to your senses now?" Yang Guowu said unhappily.

"Since I know about this, then the other members of the team must know about it too! Who would be willing to send their precious eggs out?
Let’s not talk about whether the elites from various schools will come this time. Even if they do, won’t they be a little secretive? Can you trust them by looking for them based on their grades?”

Xu Ke suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "Commander, you are still very cunning and shrewd!"

"roll!"

"Chen Rong, go call your squad leader and deputy squad leader over!"

"Yes!"

Before the competition began, Yang Guowu went on stage to give a mobilization speech. Chen Rong was listening attentively in the team when Xu Ke called him out. After a while, Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao came over.

"Captain, are you looking for us?"

"I'll give you two a task." Xu Ke called the two to a secluded place and whispered, "When the competition officially starts, you two will walk around."

Soon, Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao each left with a small notebook.

Wow!
Amidst thunderous applause, Yang Guowu finished his speech and the competition officially began.

"All players participating in the competition should go back and change into physical training uniforms and gather at the track and field stadium in half an hour!" a referee shouted loudly while holding a loud speaker.

The competition lasted for two days. The first day was mainly track and field events: 100 meters, 800 meters and 10000 meters in the morning, and armed cross-country in the afternoon.

Chen Rong changed his clothes and came to the track and field. Everyone else had already started warming up. Everyone, including Liu Chuan, looked relaxed.

Because everyone knows that these track and field events are definitely dominated by those specially recruited athletes. Xu Ke also said long ago that it’s okay to not be at the bottom in track and field.

While warming up, Chen Rong was thinking about whether to use the combined index today.

"Even if I doubled my physical fitness index, I wouldn't necessarily be able to beat those specially recruited professional athletes, right?"

Chen Rong glanced at the panel. His current physical fitness index was 35, and after the combined index, it could reach over 70. But he was not very confident that he could take first place after using the cheat.

He still has an idea of ​​how big the gap is between professionals and amateurs.

"Let's not use it for now! There is only one chance every day, and only two hours. There is no need to use it now. In case there is an emergency and I need to cheat, it will not be worth it." Chen Rong made a decision.

Athletics was never his goal, and a body index of 35 shouldn't put him at the bottom.

After the warm-up, the referee came over quickly to organize the game.

The 100m and 800m events have each competitor timed individually, while the 10000m race has all participants participating together.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, the three events were completed.

100米11秒8，800米2分23秒，10000米勉强跑进40分钟。这就是陈戎的成绩。

Just as he guessed, this result was below average among all the people, not at the bottom. The overall result of the First Mobile Division was also in the middle on average.

As for the first place in each event, it was indeed taken by those specially recruited professional athletes.

Until the end of the five-kilometer cross-country run in the afternoon, all the participants seemed relatively relaxed and were laughing after the run.

No one took the first day’s results too seriously, as everyone knew that the highlight was on the second day.

Sure enough, when having breakfast the next day, Chen Rong clearly felt that the atmosphere was different.

Liu Chuan and the others all had serious expressions and said nothing. The cafeteria was no longer as noisy as before, and everyone seemed to be holding back their energy.

After breakfast, everyone changed into camouflage training uniforms and gathered together. The leading officers of each team went to the referee's office to draw lots to decide the order of appearance.

There are only three events today: 400-meter obstacle course, climbing, and shooting.

Xu Ke came back with a note, looked at everyone and smiled:

"One good news and one bad news."

Everyone looked over.

"Good news, we are the last group in the first 400-meter hurdles."

"Bad news, the other team in the last group is the Sichuan-Chongqing team."
