"oh?"

"She doesn't seem to be in a very high mood!"

Li Gang, seeing Yuan Yi's unhappy expression, teased him and asked...

"No." Yuan Yi's face remained expressionless.

"Alright."

"I know what you're thinking."

“When I was little, I saw other people joining the army and wearing big red flowers on their chests.”

"I keep thinking about when I'll be able to wear that outfit and put on that big red flower!"

"Then every time someone from our compound went to join the army, I would be unhappy for the whole day."

"Then my mom would try all sorts of ways to coax me."

"I told you that you'll definitely join the army someday."

"I feel happy every time I hear encouragement like that!"

"I've seen plenty of kids like you."

"He said he didn't want to join the army, but deep down he really wanted to experience life in the military."

"Alright, you don't need to pack your things."

"I've already spoken to Zhao Yan, and you'll be experiencing military life in the border defense regiment for a month."

"I will send someone to pick you up in thirty days."

"Don't forget that there are still performance tours to come."

Upon hearing Li Gang's words, Yuan Yi immediately stopped packing his things.

Then he looked at Li Gang with an incredulous expression.

"Commander, what did you just say?"

"I'll stay at the 034th Border Defense Regiment for a month to experience military life?"

"Yes," Li Gang replied directly.

"So, does that mean I can join them in this live-fire exercise?"

Yuan Yi's voice carried a hint of joy and excitement.

"cannot!"

"·········"

Yuan Yi's happy face hadn't even fully lit up when Li Gang's words suddenly crushed it completely.

"You will follow Political Commissar Zhao Yan."

"Do whatever he tells you to do."

"The military is not like our song and dance troupe; soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders!"

You need to know this!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi's happy expression returned.

Zhao Yan knows.

The political commissar of the 034th Border Defense Regiment.

He will definitely participate in this live-fire exercise.

If I follow him, wouldn't I be able to participate in this exercise?

They might even assign him a gun and put him in a company.

Yuan Yi thought about it, and the gleam in his eyes was enough to blind Li Gang!

Li Gang looked at Yuan Yi and shook his head.

"Alright, go report to Zhao Yan."

"He's waiting for you at the regimental headquarters!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Yuan Yi stood up straight, saluted Li Gang, and then quickly ran towards the headquarters of the 034th Regiment!

Li Gang shook his head and smiled behind him, then began packing his own things.

The car to pick them up has arrived, and the 034th Regiment has all gone to participate in live-fire exercises.

Soon the camp was empty, and no one cared about them.

··················

Yuan Yi jogged all the way to the headquarters of the 034th Border Defense Regiment.

"Report."

Yuan Yi shouted loudly outside the regimental headquarters.

Zhao Yan is on the phone with Qi Shan.

"Come in."

They didn't turn their heads to look.

"Commander, when are you coming back?"

"Okay, I understand!"

"I have something to tell you!" Zhao Yan was just thinking about how to bring up the topic of a gilded old man who had joined their group when Qi Shan arrived.

Qi Shan said it directly over the phone.

I know what you're trying to say.

"That performing arts soldier from the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, right?"

"I heard about this news at the division headquarters; it was a direct call from above."

"I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to; even my superiors couldn't do anything about it!"

"Yes, it's only for a month anyway, so you should keep him with you when that time comes."

"Just make sure he doesn't cause me any trouble!"

"You know what this live-fire exercise is all about!"

"So we absolutely cannot let anything go wrong. I'm on my way back right now. Mobilize the Second and Third Battalions as well!"

"The observation meeting with Borneo was held in the military region's command hall."

"The troops participating in this exercise cover all the troops in our entire new province."

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing Qi Shan's words.

Good heavens!

The scale of this live-fire exercise between the two sides was surprisingly large.

It's important to know that their new military region has quite a few subordinate units.

With an army of over 100,000 and several heavily armed combined arms divisions, it was more powerful than the combined arms brigades of inland provinces.

There are also border defense regiments along the various border lines, which add up to a considerable number of people!

"Alright, I'll lead the troops over to assemble first and wait for your arrival!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yan looked at Yuan Yi.

"You'll stay by my side and temporarily act as my assistant!"

"Yes, Political Commissar!"

Yuan Yi saluted after hearing this.

Zhao Yan nodded as he watched Yuan Yi salute.

He thought Li Gang was someone who knew nothing, based on what he heard.

After all, Li Gang said he had only joined the military a few days ago.

You should know that the members of their General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe are all performing arts soldiers, and those older performing arts soldiers all came from the military.

They have formal military status and receive a certain amount of training every year.

"Zhao Youcai!"

"arrive!"

At that moment, a private first class ran over quickly.
