"Political Commissar Zhao."
Li Gang looked at Zhao Yan, who was busy in the regimental command post, and called out with a smile.
"Greetings, Commander."
Zhao Yan saluted Li Gang as soon as he saw him.
"Sorry, sir, our regiment is currently conducting a live-fire exercise."
"Yes, it seems that this performance for the benefit of the people will have to be canceled."
"On behalf of the 034th Border Defense Regiment of the 226th Division of the New Provincial Military Region, I would like to thank the leaders for their concern, and also thank the comrades of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe."
Upon hearing this, Li Gang smiled and said, "That's not what it is."
"Not that?"
"What else?"
"Sir, please just say what you need to say."
"I will do everything I can to make you satisfied!"
"???"
"What?"
"Commander, you're not joking, are you?"
"You're letting a cultural troupe member observe our combat operations? That's a bit against protocol, isn't it?"
Zhao Yan's words were not meant to be disrespectful to Li Gang.
Although they all belong to the People's Liberation Army, they belong to different factions.
One was under the jurisdiction of the military region, and the other was a major general in the General Political Department.
Moreover, the 034 Border Defense Regiment is currently at a critical juncture in conducting live-fire combat exercises.
It's important to understand that exercises are essentially real combat.
Their entire regiment is now in combat mode, so how could they possibly allow an outsider, especially an arts and culture soldier, to observe their actions?
Zhao Yan was initially quite polite to Li Gang and his group.
Knowing they were there to perform for the soldiers and to relieve their psychological stress, they treated them very well.
But after Li Gang made this request, Zhao Yan's expression clearly changed.
Their 034th Border Defense Regiment is a field army corps that guards the borders of the motherland.
It's not a kindergarten that will take care of your children.
If you want to gain experience in the military, you can look for other inland military units.
At that moment, a red telephone next to Zhao Yan rang.
"Hello, yes, this is Zhao Yan."
"Yes, sir."
"I see!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yan's face darkened even more.
He looked helplessly at Li Gang beside him.
"Sir, our division commander just called!"
"Your soldier is with me."
After hearing this, Li Gang realized that what he had done this time was somewhat unethical.
"Political Commissar Zhao, don't worry."
"Consider this a favor I owe you. I'll treat you to a meal next time I come to Beijing!"
"This kid wasn't in our army before, but he's a promising talent."
"So you understand what that means too!!"
Zhao Yan felt much better after hearing Li Gang's words.
He also knew that Li Gang was a veteran, and a veteran would naturally want to recruit a promising young man.
Train him to become a qualified soldier.
"Sir, I understand what you mean."
"Now that you're here, let me explain things to you first."
“Our border defense regiment is different from other troops. We always have emergency missions and patrol missions.”
"In addition, we may participate in some live-fire exercises and search and rescue missions at any time."
After hearing Zhao Yan's words, Li Gang waved his hand and said, "I know the rules of your border guards."
"I've given you the person, so I won't ask any more questions."
"Since there are no problems here, I'll take the rest of the team back first!"
"This kid is in your hands now."
"I'll come pick him up in a month!"
After shaking hands, Li Gang walked directly out of the regimental command post.
He muttered to himself on the way, "Kid, I've paved a smooth road for you."
"You'll thank me in the future!!"
In a cheerful mood, he walked directly towards the dormitory.
On the way, I encountered a member of the General Political Department's song and dance troupe.
"Li Guang, go and inform our men."
"Military vehicles will come to pick us up this afternoon and take us directly back to Beijing!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guang was taken aback.
"Commander, are we done with our mission? Aren't we going to perform?"
Li Gang looked at him with annoyance.
"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that the 034th Regiment has entered exercise mode?"
"This kind of exercise cannot be completed in one or two months."
"Are we really going to have to wait here for another month or two?"
"Don't forget we have a performance tour next month!!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guang immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Commander."
After saying that, he quickly went to notify the staff.
They just arrived yesterday, thankfully they haven't taken any of their belongings out yet.
Otherwise, it would be another chaotic mess of packing things.
Li Gang hummed a little tune as he arrived at his and Yuan Yi's dormitory.
I saw Yuan Yi lying on the bed reading a book.
How to Become a Good Soldier.
"Oh ho, interested in joining the army?"
After glancing at the book in Yuan Yi's hand, Li Gang asked him a question.
Yuan Yi went directly from lying down on the bed to sitting up.
He stared intently at Li Gang.
"Commander, what was it like when you were a soldier?"
Yuan Yi asked the question that had been on his mind.
He had just returned from the troop assembly area and felt uncomfortable lying on the bed.
It feels like there's always a flame burning in my heart.
Moreover, the flame not only did not go out, but it seemed to be fueled by some kind of fire, burning even more vigorously.
After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Li Gang sat down on the edge of the bed.
