Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

"Shifeng, come and sit down!"

Wang Shifeng knocked on the door and came in, standing ramrod straight. He saluted Lao Ge, who warmly invited Wang Shifeng to sit down.

This shows that Wang Shifeng holds a high position in Lao Ge's heart.

"Shifeng, I've already told Chen Nian about your situation."

"Chen Nian also agreed to help."

Old Ge briefly told Wang Shifeng the result.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shifeng showed neither "surprise" nor "excitement." Instead, he frowned, glanced at Chen Nian, and then turned to look at Lao Ge.

"Instructor, I know that Squad Leader Chen Nian is very capable, but that matter is too complicated. I don't want to implicate Squad Leader Chen Nian. I did it, so I'll take the blame myself. Instructor, please don't bother helping me anymore. I don't want to implicate you either."

"You have a lot of room for advancement. If my situation drags you down, I would be too..."

Wang Shifeng spoke without affectation or any hint of manipulative behavior; he was genuine and straightforward, saying whatever came to mind.

But before he could finish speaking, Old Ge waved his hand to interrupt him:

"I didn't think things through back then; I was only concerned with favors from those above. If I hadn't put him in your class, you wouldn't have made such a fuss over this. Shifeng, to be honest, I'm sorry!"

Old Ge looked guilty.

"Instructor, don't say that. Last year, no matter which recruit squad leader was assigned, the result was the same!"

"Such morally corrupting things should never happen in the military!"

"Instructor, please don't try to persuade me anymore. I'm not getting any younger. I'll take this opportunity to go back to my hometown, get married, have children, and take care of my elderly parents!"

Wang Shifeng spoke with nonchalance, but Chen Nian still saw resentment, struggle, and reluctance on his face.

"World Peak..."

Old Ge wanted to say something more, but Wang Shifeng interrupted him:

"Squad Leader Chen, thank you for agreeing to help me, but this matter is indeed..."

Wang Shifeng interrupted Lao Ge, and Chen Nian interrupted Wang Shifeng.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Just based on your level of awareness, we can't let this situation continue to fester!"

Chen Nian had feelings for the army, and he didn't want to see a good soldier forced to leave the military because of such a ridiculous matter.

"Squad Leader Shifeng, the military belongs to the Party, the country, the people, and ourselves. Maintaining a positive atmosphere requires the efforts of each and every one of us!"

"This time, you've retired, but the same thing will happen again. Will another good soldier or veteran have to give in to illegality next time? If this continues, won't our unit become a place for some people to gild their resumes? How can the unit still have combat effectiveness?"

Wang Shifeng remained silent, and Lao Ge also remained silent, both with their heads down, neither of them uttering a word.

"If the instructor hadn't contacted me, I could pretend this never happened, since it didn't concern me much. But since the instructor contacted me, and I knew about it and agreed, then this is no longer just a matter between you and the instructor!"

"So, let's not say anything else. What we need to consider is how to make those leaders see us, the grassroots soldiers, as more important than those damn young masters!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shifeng's eyes lit up.

"Squad Leader Chen, since we've come this far, I, Wang Shifeng, won't mince words. If you say you're going to do it, then let's do it!"

"I'll do whatever you say!"

Chen Nian rolled his eyes. This guy looks honest, but in some ways, he's not honest either!

"So, what I'm thinking is, if we're going to do something, let's do something big!"

"..."

Chen Nian shared his thoughts with the two of them.

That's just how he is; he either doesn't do anything, or he does something big.

Just like when he was with Jiaolong, before he mastered all his skills, he was the most inconspicuous one in the crowd. Only when he felt he was ready did he begin to show his talent, and the result was obvious: he became an overnight sensation.

"That's a very bold idea!"

When Lao Ge heard Chen Nian's idea, his pupils dilated in shock.

"If it's too small, it won't be effective; if we're going to get it done, we'll go for the bigger one!"

Chen Nian's words were crisp and decisive.

"The plan works, but it places high demands on you. If your abilities don't keep up, you'll make a fool of yourselves!"

Old Ge stroked his chin, his voice still tinged with worry.

"Hehe, isn't this what you came to me about? It's just that the requirements are higher than before, and the competition is more numerous and stronger. However, I don't think the outcome will change!"

Chen Nian spoke arrogantly, but he had the right to be arrogant.

Old Ge even felt that Chen Nian was being a bit too low-key, considering he came from the special forces of the army, navy, and air force.

"Alright, I'll talk to Lao Jin now. You guys go back first and give the soldiers some fresh air so they can mentally prepare!"

"yes!"

The two men stood up and saluted.

The two walked downstairs from the office.

"Old squad leader, I really don't know how to thank you enough. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know!"

Wang Shifeng's face, tanned from years of sun exposure, was shiny black, but at this moment, Chen Nian could actually see a hint of rosiness on his face.

It's that kind of red that's black with a hint of red.

Coupled with his flustered expression, to be honest, it was both heartbreaking and funny.

"Hehe, why say so much? We're all men."

Chen Nian waved his hand dismissively, not taking it seriously at all.

The reason he agreed to help was twofold: firstly, he couldn't stand what was happening to Wang Shifeng; if he didn't care today, and no one else did, over time, the army would no longer be the army he cherished.

Secondly, he also wanted to find some fun in his life in the recruit training camp.

Yes, just looking for some fun!

Although he served in special operations in the army, navy, and air force and reached the top level, he had never actually led troops before, and he wanted to try what it felt like to lead troops.

"Old sergeant, you may not care, but to me, you are undoubtedly like a second parent to me throughout my military career!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian was immediately enraged:

"No way, please don't put such a big hat on me, I can't take it!"

As the two were talking, several veterans with crutches on their shoulders walked towards them from inside the courtyard.

"Hehe, Shifeng, last year we saw off a pampered soldier, and this year we've welcomed another one, and he's even an Air Force pampered soldier! You're so much luckier than us, aren't you?"

"This time it can't be the same as last year. You have to treat this kid like royalty!"

Chen Nian and Wang Shifeng stopped in their tracks and looked up at the group of people.

"Xie Fei, what do you mean?!"

Wang Shifeng had endured such ridicule for a long time. If Xie Fei had been targeting him, he might have continued to tolerate it, but since Xie Fei was targeting Chen Nian, he could no longer tolerate it.

Chen Nian remained unmoved, even though the other person's words were somewhat grating; he simply regarded the other person as a clown.

In the military, people who speak and act like this are usually the kind of people who are all talk and no action. They have some skills, but not many, but they think they are the most important person in the world. Such people usually end up in a terrible situation.

"What do you mean? It doesn't mean anything!"

"Heh, they just think you, Wang Shifeng, are lucky. The political instructor and company commander treat you like a treasure. You're a second-time recruit, a guy with connections, they'd risk their lives for you!"

"What a pity, even good fortune can backfire. Wasn't the same thing happened last year?"

"Air Force pampered soldiers? Hah, I'm afraid they have no skills but cause a lot of trouble!"

Wang Shifeng stepped forward:

"Xie Fei, you son of a bitch..."

Chen Nian grabbed Wang Shifeng's arm:

"Alright, what's the point of talking to these half-baked idiots? They'd be good enough to be cremated and still have a mouth left! Why bother with them? Are they going to bite a dog?"

Chen Nian's words were true, but they were also quite harsh. Xie Fei pointed at Chen Nian:

"What the hell are you talking about? So what if I enlist a second time? No means no!"

"You say I'm all talk and no action? Let's see what you're made of!"

Chen Nian ignored Xie Fei and instead turned his head to look at Wang Shifeng.

Wang Shifeng suddenly stopped being angry, and the two looked at each other and grinned.

"There really are some people who won't listen to reason!"

Chen Nian grasped Xie Fei's finger that was pointing at him, looking at him with a half-smile:

"Hehe, how do we compare?"
