After entering, the company commander said, "You two should pack your bags, change into your regular clothes, and follow me. The higher-ups have approved it."
This was nothing for Xiang Jingtian, because it was a done deal, but for Wang Yuan it was a blessing in disguise. If you want to get promoted in the army, you have to go to the front line, where there are opportunities. As a rural child, this was a very good start for him.
Soon the two men packed their luggage and walked down. The company commander had been waiting for them for a long time. He said to them, "You two will follow him later. He will take you there. Once you get there, do your best and hopefully pass the selection to bring honor to us. This rank suits you well, young man, but it's not your highest achievement. Keep up the good work. I won't see you off."
Then the two of them raised their right hands and saluted at the same time. After they returned the salute, the company commander left.
Looking at the company commander's back as he left, they knew that they didn't know when they would come back. There is a saying in the army that goes, "The barracks remain, but the soldiers come and go. Go wherever the motherland needs you."
After packing up, the two of them set off. They were accompanied by several comrades from other troops. Everyone was talking and laughing along the way. Xiang Jingtian didn't have time to chat. He was now thinking about how to complete the mission. After all, it is not easy to become the captain of a new special forces team, let alone a new recruit. If you want to be a captain, you have to be strong, have rich combat experience, strong command ability, and make your teammates believe in you.
Soon they arrived at the airport. 20 transport planes had already parked here. The elites from all the troops in the entire Southern Theater were gathered here, about a hundred people in total. They were about to go to a brand new place. The competition there must be extremely fierce. It was written on it that only 10 people would be recruited, but now there were about a hundred people here. What about other places? In a word, you can only have a chance to stay if you show all your strength. If you can't endure hardship, you can only watch others go.
Soon they boarded a military plane and took off. Unlike passenger planes, military planes flew very fast. Soon they arrived at a military airport where vehicles were already waiting. Xiang Jingtian discovered through the detection radar that there were only about 300 people here, which was a ratio of 30:1. In other words, thirty elites were competing for one position. The competition was too fierce, but it was not a personal problem for him. No matter how ruthless you are, can you be stronger than the system?
They boarded the troop carriers one by one and headed to the assessment training ground, which was located deep in the mountains and forests. It was a very good place to train special forces, as most of the combat operations were carried out in the jungle.
They soon arrived at the entrance to the training ground. Troop carriers were not allowed in, so they had to walk. So they all got out of the car and began to walk. However, they had no idea that the training ground was actually five kilometers away from the gate. After walking about a kilometer, some people became unhappy and said, "What's the point? We've been walking here for so long and haven't even seen the camp yet."
At this time, Xiang Jingtian realized that something was wrong and said to Wang Yuan: "Oh no, this is probably an assessment. Normally, there will be a vehicle to take us in, but here they are asking us to leave. Something is wrong. Let's run over there quickly."
So he said to Jingtian: "Brothers, I'm afraid this is a test. Let's run over there quickly. If we are late, we will probably be eliminated."
At this time, someone said: "Who are you? Why should we believe you? You have been a lieutenant for less than a year since joining the army. You must be a relative." Many people laughed after hearing this, but those who were in the same army with him knew very well that this was not a relative at all. This guy was really capable, so they chose to believe him.
Seeing that they were unmoved, Xiang Jingtian had no choice but to run away first, but there were still some smart people who chose to stay with him.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the training site, where someone was already waiting for them. They were wearing special warfare uniforms. The highest rank was lieutenant colonel, and the youngest was captain.
Xiang Jingtian discovered through scanning that their attributes were all very high, and except for intelligence, they were similar to him in other aspects. The lieutenant colonel's physical strength had reached 35, and his speed was as high as 32. The major next to him was slightly weaker, with a physical strength of 32 and a speed of 30. The physical strength of the others was above 30, and their speed was between 27 and 28. It seemed that these people should be their instructors here.
Xiang Jingtian and his team were the first to arrive. After waiting for a long time, no one else showed up, so the lieutenant colonel said, "You're quite smart and realize this is a test. You might think I'm praising you, but I'm telling you, you're completely wrong. You only realized this after walking a kilometer. If this were a battlefield, how would you fight with such slow reaction times? Everyone, do 300 push-ups, immediately."
Xiang Jingtian and Wang Yuan were all too familiar with this scene, especially Wang Yuan, who had suffered this loss before, so he said: "300 push-ups, immediately."
These two buddies were really in sync. They started doing it almost at the same time, and the others started doing it too when they saw them.
After a while, the next people arrived. The lieutenant colonel said, "You guys at the back have been eliminated. Go back to where you came from."
A captain said: "Why? You didn't say this was an assessment." Then a group of people began to agree.
The lieutenant colonel said, "With your reaction ability, you don't deserve to be special forces. Besides, I have the final say here. Come on, send them back. It makes me upset just looking at you."
At this time, everyone turned their hostility towards the person who was talking to Xiang Jingtian. If he hadn't been nagging, they might have joined in doing push-ups. To be honest, this should be the time when they most wanted to do push-ups. Unfortunately, reality was cruel.
It didn't take long for Xiang Jingtian to finish. He stood up and said, "Report, I've finished 300 push-ups."
The lieutenant colonel looked at Xiang Jingtian in disbelief, then looked at the major next to him. Seeing the major nodded, he said, "Yes, stay where you are."
Afterwards, others finished their work one after another. The lieutenant colonel said, "Today's work is just an appetizer. There will be more ruthless things waiting for you in the future. If you can't bear it any more, just tell me. There's no need to hide it. There's no shame in leaving. If you lose your life on the battlefield, that's not worth it. Is there anyone who doesn't want to do this anymore?"
Seeing no one answered, the lieutenant colonel continued, "Okay, since you're not afraid of death, let me introduce you to your instructors. My name is Thunder God, and I'm your chief instructor from the Thunder Special Operations Brigade. The person next to you is your instructor, codenamed Tornado, from the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade. The others are Blue Whale from the Jiaolong Special Forces; Snow Eagle from the Snow Leopard Commando; Snow Wolf from the Lone Wolf Commando; and Stinger from the Blade Special Operations Squadron. We'll be the ones to complete your training and assessments. I'm sure some of you have heard of our unit. Our standards are very strict. You're wasting your time here. Let me ask again, is there anyone willing to leave?"
