Chapter 422: I’ll Get You a Commander’s Daughter

“Mmm, okay!” Zhou Qi paused for a moment, then nodded.
Although he felt that his class and Wang Ye’s class had one or two promising talents, the first batch could only select ten, so choosing these eleven seemed reasonable.
Suddenly, Zhou Qi changed the topic. He spoke with a touch of nostalgia, “In a few more months, you’ll have to go to school as well. 1 don’t even know if I’ll still be able to stay in the barracks when you come back.”
Wang Ye fell silent.
The military life was harsh, especially in an infantry unit. It was difficult for a soldier to make it to the third phase, and the chances of reaching the fourth phase were even slimmer.
Wang Ye turned to Zhou Qi and suggested, “Class leader, why don’t you transfer to a technical role? That way, there won’t be any issues with the third phase!”
“Heh, forget it. I’d rather carry a rifle than a wrench!”
Zhou Qi had a faint smile on his face. “Besides, 1 joined the army not just for the sake of being a soldier. I love the barracks, 1 love our brothers, and I love the days we spend together carrying rifles. It’s not about fulfilling military service.”
Wang Ye remained silent.
In fact, this was not the first time Wang Ye had heard such words.
Previously, Ye Sanshi had said something similar, and he, too, had no intention of transferring to a technical role.
For some, being a soldier was a profession, but for others, it wasn’t.
Fortunately, Wang Ye had encountered two class leaders who were in the latter category.
Of course, it wasn’t all just a matter of coincidence.
If we said Ye Sanshi was a stroke of lucky coincidence, then on Zhou Qi’s end, if he weren’t passionate about military life and instead wanted to make a career out of being a soldier, Wu Jianfeng probably wouldn’t have assigned Wang Ye to Class 8 to look after him.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that,” Zhou Qi changed the subject. “Tell me about yourself… Now that you’re heading to military school and will have more free time, are you planning to find a girlfriend?”
“Heh, Class leader, military schools forbid dating!”
Although Wang Ye hadn’t gone to military school yet, Class 8 had a platoon leader who graduated from one, so he knew a fair bit about the rules there.
Zhou Qi chuckled, “That’s just on campus. Who told you to look for a female soldier within the school? Don’t you know you can find your former classmates or girls from outside society? If it really doesn’t work out, during the winter and summer breaks at the military school, you can have your family set up blind dates for you when you go back. Don’t be so stubborn that you spend four years without finding a girl.”
After a pause, Zhou Qi continued with a heartfelt tone, “Let me tell you, when you graduate from the military school and come back, you’ll be living the same kind of life we have now. Then, when you look around, apart from mosquitoes, everything else will be male!”
H H
Wang Ye was speechless.
“Class leader, actually, in this past year, I’ve met quite a few girls!” Zhou Qi said with a dazed expression.
The next moment, he said somewhat irritably, “1 almost forgot you’re different from me.”
“Fine, do as you please. You don’t have to look for one, or rather, you better not!” Zhou Qi said, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Looking at Wang Ye, who seemed a bit bewildered by his words, Zhou Qi chuckled again. “I’m serious, kid. You really don’t need to find someone at the military school. You’re not like us ordinary folks. Just look at your achievements. Your future is limitless. Don’t go looking for it yourself; wait for the organization to arrange it for you. Maybe by then, you’ll end up with the daughter of a division commander or even a general!”
H ii
Wang Ye was left even more speechless.
“Haha, I’m serious. As long as you keep excelling, someone will definitely introduce a girlfriend to you!”
“Heh, let’s just go with the flow,” Wang Ye didn’t say much.
He wasn’t considering relationship matters at the moment.
Future matters could wait.
Of course, he definitely preferred to find someone himself and had no intention of pursuing the daughter of a senior officer or general.
A man should have principles.
“Beep beep-”
It was a little past three in the morning when urgent whistling sounded from downstairs.
“Emergency assembly!”
Jiang Huai’s booming voice echoed, signaling the start of the new recruits’ training assessment.
“Hurry up, don’t panic, make sure your backpacks are secured!”
Inside the dormitory, Wang Ye not only packed his backpack but also gave instructions to everyone.
After everyone had gone downstairs, he checked the dormitory one last time before shouldering his own backpack and following them down.
This emergency assembly marked the first activity of the combat readiness training.
Just like last year for Wang Ye and his comrades, they waited until the last moment to determine the time, then inspected their backpacks and equipment, and finally, after everything was in order, the entire platoon of new recruits was led out.
“This time, I’ve made a pledge in front of the superiors. If we fail this mission again, I’ll go raise pigs in the countryside.”
In front of the Criminal Investigation Company building, the team conducting the training for the new recruits had just set off not long ago. Tian, the platoon leader who had attacked Wang Ye and his comrades last year, had already assembled his team.
This opportunity was like the previous time when the Special Forces Second Company of the Division attacked the Iron Bones Hero Regiment; it was about seeking vengeance.
Last year, they had failed miserably under Wang Ye’s leadership.
This year, they couldn’t even hold their heads high within the company, let alone within the regiment. Even when they encountered reconnaissance soldiers from other units outside the regiment, they didn’t dare to lift their heads.
Educating the new recruits had turned into a counter-education for them, and they were reconnaissance soldiers.
Their loss of face was too significant.
In addition to the later incident involving Deng Hai, it can be said that if it weren’t for his company commander’s unwavering support last year, he, as the reconnaissance platoon leader, wouldn’t have been able to continue in his position.
And now, it was time for him to seek revenge.
None of the other platoons in the third company competed with him; they willingly gave him this opportunity.
Platoon Leader Tian looked at the row of reconnaissance soldiers in front of him with a serious expression. “1 know that some of you resent me for pushing you so hard during training, but what 1 want to say is, if you hate me, you can take it out on me when we get back, but if anyone intentionally messes up and fails this mission, I’ll definitely take you with me to raise pigs. When that time comes, I’ll feed the pigs, and you’ll have to clean up pig excrement every day. Do you understand?”
“We understand!” the entire row of soldiers shouted.
In truth, they had been holding in their frustration for an entire year, having been the subject of ridicule.
Just yesterday, when they went to the cafeteria for a meal, even the cooks from the kitchen were teasing them, asking if they were ready for this year and warning them not to mess up again. They even said that if they failed this year, they wouldn’t want to cook for reconnaissance soldiers who couldn’t even handle their own mess. Could they endure this?
It could be said that the reconnaissance soldiers in the second platoon were all boiling with anger.
So, as soon as the new recruits began their training, they had no choice but to prepare to keep up with it.
The attack wouldn’t happen now, certainly not during the day, and it might not even happen today. But regardless of which day it would be, they had to keep up first, follow them all the way, and find the most suitable time and place to take down these new recruits this year.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Run, and don’t fall behind!”
In the mountains, Wang Ye stood on the side of the formation, shouting loudly to the soldiers behind.
As a platoon leader, he couldn’t just focus on himself as he did during last year’s training; at most, he would take care of his comrades in the platoon. Now, Wang Ye had to be responsible not only for his platoon but also for the entire company, and he had to assist the company commander in organizing the entire company while keeping an eye on the situation of the whole company.
At the moment, he wasn’t thinking too much about the reconnaissance soldiers’ matters. Although he knew there was such a situation, it was just dawn, and who would think about something that would only happen when it got dark. Moreover, this incident might not even happen tonight..
