Chapter 44: Meritorious Service and Promotion
Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.
As the exercise came to an end , the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company welcomed back Jiang Shui, a hero who instantly became famous throughout the company, the regiment, and even the entire division.
In front of the entire company, Company Leader Miao held two red-headed documents in his hands.
"Recently, during the annual exercise of our Southeast Military Region, Jiang Shui, a private soldier of the reconnaissance company of the Special Eighth Regiment, remained calm and performed well, overcame difficulties and fought tenaciously..."
"First, he destroyed the Blue Army's information center, and then he single-handedly took down the Blue Army's headquarters..."
"In order to commend the advanced, boost morale and inspire fighting spirit, Comrade Jiang Shui is awarded the Second Class Medal of Merit..."
As for the excellence that Jiang Shui had shown in the recruit company before, it was understandable that his superiors did not give him any awards or honors, considering that he was joining the army for the second time.
But this time, Jiang Shui's performance in the exercise attracted the attention of all the leaders, especially the leadership of the military region, who used their authority to transfer all of Jiang Shui's information from the Northern Military Region.
The existence of Old A is naturally in the sight of the highest-level leaders of the military region. It can be said that at the level of leaders, there is very little information in the army that they are not authorized to see.
After all the information about Jiang Shui was analyzed by relevant departments, the conclusion was reached: Jiang Shui was stimulated in the Northern Military Region, which caused him to change his attitude towards life.
Also because Jiang Shui had participated in Lao A's special selection training, and Jiang Shui's current military qualities made the senior leaders see an opportunity, an opportunity to bring the Southeast Military Region into the sight of the central leadership, and there was a plan that seemed to be on the agenda.
In this way, Jiang Shui's second-class medal of honor was given the green light all the way, and he was also issued an order for promotion.
Miao Lian finished reading the first document and started reading the second one:
"Notice on the method of selecting and training grassroots cadres from outstanding soldiers..."
"Comrade Jiang Shui, a private soldier from the reconnaissance company of the Special Eighth Regiment of the Southeast Military Region, complies with the spirit of the notice and relevant regulations..."
"Promoted to lieutenant rank, administrative level deputy company commander, and sent to relevant academy for training at an appropriate time..."
With one leap, Jiang Shui was directly promoted to a lieutenant officer.
Moreover, after that, Miao Lian also told Jiang Shui privately that his file had been included in the military region's excellent talent pool.
What does this mean?
Jiang Shui naturally knew that this battle had brought him directly into the sight of the military district leaders.
"Then, when will I take office..." Jiang Shui looked at the lieutenant rank on his shoulder. It was so cool!
"You..." Miao Lian looked at Jiang Shui helplessly. He didn't know what his superiors meant. The promotion order had been issued, but firstly, he was not immediately arranged to go there for further studies, and secondly, there was no appointment order?
Is there really another arrangement?
Other arrangements?
Miao Lian thought of wolf fang.
Into the Wolf Fang?
No way, it won't be that simple.
This is what Miao Lian thought.
But when the news of the Wolf Fang selection came out a month later, the head of the Special Eighth Regiment personally said to him: "Let Jiang Shui participate in the Wolf Fang selection!"
Something is wrong.
Still something is wrong.
Miao Lian couldn't figure out the problem here.
First of all, if he joined Langya, the promotion order would not be issued so early. It would definitely wait until Jiang Shui passed the Langya selection and became a Langya special forces member before the promotion order was announced.
As a result, the promotion order had already been issued.
Therefore, even if Jiang Shui participated in the Langya selection and passed the selection, he would not stay in Langya for too long.
So, what do the leaders want to do?
…
"coming!"
Miao Lian waved the red-headed document in his hand vigorously. He no longer thought about Jiang Shui's future. Now, he was facing his last wish before retiring.
That is, send the soldiers under his command to Langya, keep them in Langya, and become a special forces member.
"Order!"
Miao Lian's voice was loud and high. He had been looking forward to this selection for a long time: "Southeast Military Region, all field troops and reconnaissance units, according to the unified deployment of the military region headquarters, the special forces selection ceremony is about to begin..."
"The members of the training camp who will be selected will be recommended by each reconnaissance unit. After comprehensive selection and assessment by our military region's Langya Special Forces Battalion, those with excellent results will be admitted to the Langya Special Forces Battalion and continue to serve..."
"This is an order from the Southeast Military Region Command."
After reading the official document on the selection of the Langya, Company Commander Miao cast a sharp glance at all the officers and soldiers in the company: "Comrades, the time has come to test whether you are an excellent scout."
As he spoke, Miao Lian walked down the steps, paced in front of the team and said, "Usually, in front of me, you all brag about being tough guys. Are you bullying me because I'm old? Do you think I can't run as fast as you, or fight as well as you?"
"You're still a long way from that!"
"I tell you, none of you are as good as I was when I was young!"
Jiang Shui was deeply touched by Miao Lian's words. In the month after the exercise, Miao Lian would pick time every day to share his various experiences with him, allowing him to learn a lot.
After the last exercise, Jiang Shui really felt how important Miao Lian’s experience was. That was the experience of surviving real gunfire and hail of bullets.
During this process, he gradually came to understand the veteran Miao Lian, a true iron-blooded soldier. In Miao Lian's heart, the army was a place that he could not abandon or forget, and it was integrated into his bones.
While Jiang Shui was thinking, Miao Lian walked back to the front of the team and continued, "Let me tell you again, only those who stand out from the hundreds of thousands of combat troops in our military region and can become land special forces, black berets, and special operations personnel, will I recognize him as a tough guy!"
"Scout Company!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
"Scout Company!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Amid the company's overwhelming momentum, Company Leader Miao concluded the announcement regarding the Wolf Fang selection.
Company Captain Miao's words successfully aroused the determination to win among all the officers and soldiers in the company. They all tried their best to join Langya and become a special forces member.
Of course, there are still some failures.
That is Zhuang Yan.
While everyone was working hard to join Langya, this kid was still thinking about being a good scout and had no interest in Langya at all.
Zhuang Yan's reaction also successfully aroused Miao Lian's anger.
As mentioned before, Miao Lian knew that Jiang Shui had already found his own way, a path that had already been established.
Zhuang Yan was an unpolished jade, and Miao Lian even treated him as his own disciple, shaping him in all aspects.
Let’s put it this way, in the last exercise, Jiang Shui took down the Blue Army Command, but he was not as happy as Zhuang Yan took out the missile brigade. These were the soldiers he had trained personally, and the feelings contained in them were like the saplings he had trained, slowly growing into towering trees.
