After Captain Hua left, everyone was talking about it. Most people took it for granted that the vacant position of captain would be taken over by the deputy captain, and then a battalion commander with outstanding performance would be selected from among the battalion commanders to be promoted to deputy captain.

However, what no one expected was that this position was eventually occupied by an "airborne soldier".

The new regimental commander's surname was Gu, and his given name was Gu Changxiao. He was only in his early thirties, in the prime of his life when his energy was at its peak and his mind was at its sharpest.

At first, many people in the army were dissatisfied and skeptical about the sudden arrival of the new leader and were skeptical about his abilities.

As a result, various provocative acts began to occur one after another.

Some soldiers were blatantly slacking off during daily training. They wanted to use this to test whether Gu Changxiao had enough patience to correct this bad habit and how determined he was to improve military discipline.

Some battalion commanders were even more rude and openly challenged Gu Changxiao to a duel on the vast playground to gauge his strength.

What's worse, they simply spread all kinds of rumors in private, trying to shake Gu Changxiao's newly established leadership authority through public pressure.

Qin Wan had also heard a lot of rumors, and she asked Lu Yu privately:

"Tell me, with everyone trying to embarrass Captain Gu like this, can Captain Gu handle it?"

Lu Yu said disapprovingly:

"As an airborne regimental commander, if he can't even handle this little nuisance, then he's not a qualified soldier."

"So you've also experienced such difficulties?" Qin Wan felt a little distressed.

“Of course, you know that when I was a soldier in my father’s jurisdiction, he would make things difficult for me every time I was promoted. It was common for Captain Gu to change units.

However, these soldiers are very cute, and as long as you have the ability, they will quickly accept you." Lu Yu disagreed.

"What do you think of Captain Gu? Is he capable?" Qin Wan gossiped.

"According to my observation, it should be pretty good." Lu Yu said.

It can be said that Lu Yu's observation ability is quite accurate. Soon, everyone discovered that in the face of this series of provocative actions, Gu Changxiao quickly showed extraordinary calmness and unfathomable wisdom, and he dealt with those who dared to provoke him.

He did not lose his temper at his soldiers' laziness, nor did he impulsively accept challenges from his battalion commanders or fight back against rumors.

On the contrary, he was always able to skillfully use his own unique way to resolve every crisis, allowing those who originally had ill intentions to gradually realize that this seemingly young new leader actually possessed extraordinary means and extraordinary talents.

He did not directly punish the soldiers who were lazy during training, but chose to fight alongside them, demonstrating with practical actions what the true military spirit is.

His tenacity and perseverance gradually infected these soldiers, making them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Changxiao showed his magnanimity and tolerance towards those soldiers who spread rumors privately.

Instead of pursuing accountability, he chose to candidly share his experiences and ideas at a general meeting.

His sincerity and honesty allowed the soldiers to see his inner world and also made those who were originally skeptical begin to re-examine the new regiment commander. Gu Changxiao won the respect and trust of the soldiers with his actions.

He encouraged the soldiers to offer their own insights and suggestions, providing them with a platform to showcase their talents. Under his leadership, the camp gradually regained new vitality and vigor.

The soldiers who had challenged him began to realize their own narrow-mindedness and ignorance. They began to apologize to Gu Changxiao and promised to train and study harder.

It didn't take long for Captain Gu and his family to successfully win the recognition of everyone in the military compound.

But his sister Gu Changrong was the only one who could never fit into this group and was never accepted by other military families.

Gu Changrong came here and claimed that he was helping his sister-in-law take care of the children, but the actual situation was that he wanted to use the opportunity in the army to find an ideal husband.

This woman, in her twenties, had masculine features, a tall, stocky build, a broad, round face, sweeping eyebrows, a square mouth, and a flat nose. Her skin was also tan. At first glance, she looked every bit the man.

Gu Changrong not only has an ugly appearance, but is also a bit obsessed with looks.

In her rural hometown, because her brother was an officer, many families wanted to marry into their family. Most of the men that Gu Changrong liked were handsome and elegant, but such men did not like her at all.

There were one or two families who were attracted by her family background, but she looked down on them because of their poor family background.

After going through this process several times, the result is that you can neither reach the high level nor settle for the low level.

Back home, men and women married young, starting families at the age of seventeen or eighteen. She had been so picky that even in her twenties she was still unmarried.

So, her family had no choice but to send her to her brother, Captain Gu, to see if they could introduce her to a suitable partner in the army.

Gu Changrong had been here for only two days when his attention was attracted by a man.

The man was estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, with an upright posture, extraordinary temperament, and outstanding appearance. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a nose like a hanging gall bladder. From a distance, he looked like a movie star.

Such outstanding appearance and temperament immediately struck Gu Changrong's heart, making her feel that this man was very much to her liking.
