Chapter 57: Promotion of new recruits?
At around three o'clock, the helicopter landed on the helipad of the Hidden Wolf Base.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui followed Thor and Lao Lian to the armory with their equipment. 619 and Jia Zi were already sorting items inside.
"You two can sleep here with us tonight. I'll take you back tomorrow when you wake up."
Thor gestured for the two men to place their guns and equipment on the table nearby. "No need to clean your guns. Just count your ammunition consumption and record it."
Li Dongshui reluctantly placed the sniper rifle in his arms on the table and touched it again and again.
Lei Shen and Lao Lian looked at Li Dongshui's expression and smiled without saying anything.
Xu Ge was different. He casually threw the SCAR-H over with a click. This gun was not as useful to him as the 191 assault rifle.
He has only one standard: a gun that can't shoot accurately is not a good gun, and it has nothing to do with his own marksmanship anyway.
"I say, we've been working overtime until this late. Do you guys at Hidden Wolf have any midnight snacks?" Xu Ge asked casually while rubbing his stomach.
"Of course! I just checked the cafeteria and they left us rice with braised pork and fresh prawns!"
Jiazi's eyes lit up, "I've been waiting for you to come back and show off!"
Coo coo coo!
Xu Ge heard the rumbling of his stomach, it seemed that everyone was hungry.
"Where is the wolf head?" asked Thor.
619: "I went to interrogate the target overnight. He told us not to wait for him and to prepare the action report tomorrow."
Lei Shen placed the HK416 in his hand on the table, signed the registration book casually, and waved his hand: "Let's go have a midnight snack!"
Ten minutes later, the six of them were already sitting at the table in the cafeteria and starting to eat.
Xu Ge poured the braised pork sauce onto the rice, stirred it a few times, put a piece of fat and lean meat into his mouth and chewed it for a few times, then immediately lowered his head and shoveled the rice coated with the sauce into his mouth, feeling so satisfied while eating it.
Lao Lian got some yogurt and biscuits from somewhere, and carefully mixed the rice with the yogurt, adding some chocolate from time to time.
Li Dongshui on the side was concentrating on peeling shrimps, and there were already several shrimps piled in the bowl.
Xu Ge nudged him with his elbow and reminded him, "There's soy sauce, vinegar, and mustard in the kitchen. I'm telling you, go get some and dip it in. It's absolutely delicious!"
Li Dongshui was skeptical: "Is it true?"
Xu Ge: "How can this chef deceive you? You will know if you try it. Remember not to put too much vinegar."
"Okay, I'll try!"
Li Dongshui got up and went into the kitchen.
Xu Ge immediately picked up two pieces of shrimp from the other person's bowl and stuffed them into his mouth.
The four team members looked at him without saying anything.
Xu Ge puffed up his cheeks and said, "What are you looking at me for? Do it!"
Swish, swish, swish!
As the chopsticks flew away, only one shrimp was left in Li Dongshui's bowl in the blink of an eye.
When Li Dongshui came back with the small bowl and saw what was happening, he immediately lost his temper: "You are such a shameless bastard! You tricked me into going to the kitchen just to steal my shrimp, right?"
"Don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't touch the shrimp in your bowl!"
Xu Ge pointed his chopsticks at everyone and said, "If you don't believe me, ask them."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, that's right, Xu Ge didn't move!"
Even the old man nodded in agreement.
Li Dongshui was shocked: "Damn, so you guys divided up my shrimps, right?!"
Everyone remained silent and continued to eat.
Li Dongshui sat down angrily, and after thinking about it, he decided to dip the last one in the dipping sauce to try. Unexpectedly, it tasted surprisingly good.
But this time he learned his lesson and peeled one and ate it as it came.
Thor finished a bowl of rice and seemed to be hesitating whether to have another bowl. He rubbed his stomach and asked, "How do you two feel about joining us today?"
Upon hearing this, Li Dongshui immediately said, "I feel that you are all amazing, especially Brother Lian, he is simply a quasi-god!"
Xu Ge: "Well, your food is great too!"
In fact, he was just being stubborn. The performance of the four Thors today had already shattered his perception.
Although they were asked to assist, Xu Ge actually felt that he and Li Dongshui were even holding back.
Especially when they were at sniper position number three, if Old Face hadn’t arrived, the two of them might have been dead!
Xu Ge even had a feeling that even if he and Li Dongshui did not go up, the four of Lei Shen would be able to take care of the more than 30 people on the opposite side!
He now has a deeper understanding of Ao Xiang's words about the ceiling of the three armies.
Lei Shen knew that Xu Ge was just being stubborn, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Didn't you two always want to come to Hidden Wolf? Once you're selected, the food will only be better..."
"Wow, you guys, you didn't even call me for a midnight snack!"
Xu Can pushed the door open and came in shouting, then immediately took the bowl and chopsticks and sat at the table. Without saying a word, she picked up a shrimp and put it in her mouth. A moment later, she spit out the shrimp shell.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go back to sleep?" Thor asked curiously.
Xu Can picked up another shrimp and dipped it into the sauce in front of Li Dongshui. He said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to ask them."
Thor: "What is it?"
Before Xu Can could speak, Li Dongshui looked at her seriously and said, "Mr. Xu, I remind you to be careful."
Xu Can tilted his head with a questioning look on his face: "Be careful about what?"
"Are you curious about why Xu Ge asked you that question?"
"Yeah, I'm really curious. I don't believe the explanation this guy gave on the plane at all!"
Li Dongshui: "My class vice-chairman said that a woman's love for a man often starts with curiosity."
In an instant, the entire cafeteria fell silent.
Including Xu Ge and Xu Can, everyone's expressions were wonderful.
Xu Can was so embarrassed by Li Dongshui that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"Aren't you going to ask Xu Ge that question?" Li Dongshui asked doubtfully.
"No, no, I want to ask you two, have you ever thought about developing in the army for a long time?" Xu Can said with a smile.
Xu Ge was stunned and stopped eating.
The three Thors also wanted to know what the two recruits were thinking, so they all looked over.
. . .
. . .
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Ge turned to look at Li Dongshui: "You speak first."
Li Dongshui thought for a while and said, "Actually, my uncle asked me to join the army. As for whether I should stay in the army forever, I don't really have any idea.
Besides, I can’t just stay if I want to. I heard from the veterans that there are only a few spots left each year.”
"Dongshui, with your talent in sniping, you really can stay if you want."
Lei Shen said, then looked at Xu Ge, "What about you, cousin, what do you think?"
Xu Ge said truthfully, "Actually, my parents wanted me to serve in the army for two years and then go back to school. My student status is still at the University of Finance and Economics."
Lei Shen understood Xu Ge's implication and asked, "So you have different ideas?"
"Yeah!" Xu Ge nodded. "After coming to the army, I found that the people here are very nice and speak well. I like it here very much!"
He certainly wouldn't tell anyone about the military command system.
Thor was speechless: "Can you please speak properly?"
"I actually want to stay here for a long time. Otherwise, how can I blow up that wolf head?" Xu Ge also laughed.
Everyone: ...
"Have you told your parents what you are thinking now?" Xu Can asked Xu Ge.
Xu Ge shook his head: "Let's talk about it when we have a chance later."
Xu Can thought for a moment and then asked, "On the way to Shiquanhe last time, I remember you two said that you both wanted to join the army after taking the college entrance examination, right? Have you ever thought about applying to a military academy?"
(Three hundred words were deleted from the preliminary review here...)
Li Dongshui shoveled the shrimp in his bowl and whispered, "But I just like shooting. I'm not interested in anything else."
Xu Can pointed at the four Thors and said, "Did you know that all four of them are military officers?"
"I know."
"You said you like shooting guns. Are there a lot of guns in Hidden Wolf this time?"
Li Dongshui's eyes lit up: "Yes, too many!"
Xu Can: "Did you know that Hidden Wolf only recruits officers?"
"That's not right. Ao Xiang is not an officer. Why can he come to participate in the selection?" Xu Ge asked.
Xu Can explained, "You mean those two people from Qiangtang last time, right? They only made it to the Hidden Wolf's reserve team after passing the selection process. They still had to go to military school later on, and they couldn't come back until they graduated..."
"Not entirely." Thor suddenly said, "I didn't go to military school!"
Xu Ge: ???
"Cousin, didn't you tell me last time that you'd be a major next year?" Xu Ge was confused. "How did you become an officer without going to military school, and how did you get promoted so quickly?"
Thor is at most 27 or 28 years old. A major of this age is considered to be promoted quickly in any unit.
"He is different, Thor is a special case!" said Xu Can.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui asked in unison, "What's the special case?"
Xu Can: "He won the first-class individual merit award twice!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui opened their mouths wide: Wow!
The Thunder God winked at them and said, "You can also be promoted directly by your military merits when you are a soldier, just like me."
Li Dongshui was puzzled: "Our platoon leader was promoted to officer, so why did he also go to military academy?"
Thor: "In some cases, you don't have to go."
"Why don't you go?"
"When you reach that condition, someone will naturally tell you!"
After having a midnight snack, 619 and Clamp took the two new recruits to arrange accommodations. Thunder God looked at Xu Can and asked, "Did Wolf Head ask you to come and ask them?"
Xu Can nodded.
Thor was speechless: "They are both new recruits, Wolf Head is too anxious."
Xu Can: "Your group is short of people right now, how did these two perform today?"
The old man nodded: "Yes!"
Thor: "No matter how they perform, they still have too little experience to be sure if they are suitable for us. Won't the selection start again in a few months? If they really can't perform well, we can transfer people from the reserve team first."
Xu Can waved his hand: "Anyway, this is what Wolf Head told me to do. I'm just asking for him. Let's go back to sleep!"
. . .
. . .
The next morning, at the Wolf Brigade headquarters.
Brigade Commander Zhang Fengxue was sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette. Opposite him, Wolf Head with bloodshot eyes was reporting the results of the interrogation excitedly.
"That's the general situation. Since they're aiming for something big, I suggest we play the long game and try to catch them all at the border!"
After saying this, Wolf Head felt a little thirsty, so he picked up Zhang Fengxue's teacup on the table and took a sip.
Zhang Fengxue pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's feasible. Go back and make a detailed plan. The troops will be stationed for training soon, so we must make preparations in advance. We need to carefully consider the units that need to be deployed in advance and the subjects that need to be trained in advance."
"clear!"
Wolf Head thought for a moment and said, "I guess the concrete action will not take place until summer. We still have plenty of time."
Zhang Fengxue glared at him when he heard this. "What do you mean by 'plenty of time'? You want to slack off again, don't you? Are you planning on running out to the training grounds and being a peddler again?"
"Hey, Brigade Commander, I was just trying to help you get to know our Wolf Brigade better!"
"Why, as soon as you heard you were going to be promoted to colonel next year, you immediately started preparing to take over my job, right?"
Zhang Fengxue glanced at the wolf head and said, "Believe it or not, once you leave this door, three regiment commanders will be in your wolf den before you even get home."
Wolf Head's face turned serious: "Brigade Commander, you are in your prime. I am ready to follow you for the rest of my life!"
"Get lost!"
"hey-hey!"
The wolf head sat there motionless.
Zhang Fengxue was surprised: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Commander, I do have something else I want to ask."
"explain."
"Does our brigade have many promotions this year? Are there any changes to the military merit requirements?"
Zhang Fengxue looked at Wolf Head and asked, "Why, do you have more people from your Eighth Company who have made contributions this year?"
Wolf Head: "That's not the case. It's mainly because I have my eyes on two new recruits..."
"Where did you get the new recruits for the Eighth Company?"
"It's not the Eighth Company, it's the Sixth Company."
Zhang Fengxue stared at Wolf Head for a while and said, "Judging from your sneaky behavior, you're not targeting those two new recruits who just joined Xiao Shuai's class this year, are you?"
Wolf Head immediately flattered him: "The brigade commander is wise! They are the two that the old squad leader brought this year."
"Aren't you afraid that Xiao Shuai will...wait a minute, you just asked me about the promotion?"
Zhang Fengxue sat up straight. "You mean you want to promote these two new recruits directly to the Hidden Wolf Squad?"
"The brigade commander is wise..."
"Wang Lai, have I been too nice to you lately, making you think the Wolf Brigade is your backyard, Wang Lai?!"
Zhang Fengxue instantly flew into a rage, "Who gave you the courage to make such a request?"
Wolf Head quickly stood up and snapped to attention. "Don't worry, Brigade Commander. I'm just asking about the requirements for promotion. They both have military merits."
Zhang Fengxue was stunned: "Really?"
A few minutes later, driver Xiao Li left the brigade commander's office.
"So it turns out that during the New Year's Eve operation, the team that intercepted the last wave of enemies was commanded by Xiao Shuai."
Zhang Fengxue leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigarette, looking relieved. "You just said that Xiaoshuai also agreed to your transfer?"
Wolf Head: "Commander, I know my squad leader best. Since he didn't object to my secondment this time, he won't object to two new recruits coming to me in the future."
"But he's a new recruit after all, so he's still too green."
Zhang Fengxue snuffed out his cigarette. "The Hidden Wolf doesn't just look at military prowess; they also need strong ideology. I understand this. Let's wait and see for a year or two before deciding."
"yes!"
