Breaking the Rules
A ceremony to confer a title?
The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
What title ceremony?
To whom?
However, it was clear that Chu Jian did not want to explain too much here, so the three of them could only quickly follow.
When the three of them passed through the special training area, they realized that all the soldiers in the garrison area had gathered on the field.
At this moment, all the soldiers were standing in a solemn and orderly manner on the field. The red flag was fluttering in the wind.
A team of more than two thousand people was a spectacular sight. Hu Bayi was a veteran among the three, so he immediately entered the state of mind with an especially serious expression.
Although Wu Sangou and Zhang Qilin weren't soldiers, they were both Chinese and had undergone a week of military training. When they saw this scene, they were instantly filled with respect.
Although they didn't know who they were going to give the title to, it was obviously a big deal in the garrison.
However, Zhang Qilin quickly noticed that everyone looked at him with curiosity.
It was as if the three of them were the main characters at this moment.
Before Zhang Qilin could think deeply, Chu Jian looked over and said meaningfully,"
"Go, stand on the platform."
"Ah?"
Hu Bayi was stunned. He knew that standing there was an honor for a soldier.
"Chief, isn't this inappropriate?"
In response, Chu Jian smiled and shook his head,"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. If it's not on the flag platform, is it here?”
Hu Bayi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted."
"Chief, is this…our title ceremony?”
Hu Bayi's voice entered their ears and naturally surprised them.
Chu Jian nodded lightly,"
"That's right. You passed Hell Week's training, so you should be awarded a title.
After you are awarded the title, you will officially become a member of the 543 Exploration Team.”
Surprise appeared on the faces of the three of them. They had never thought that such a large-scale ceremony would be prepared for the three of them.
At this moment, Wu Changfeng was standing at the front of the team, looking at Zhang Qilin and the other two not far away.
Like all the soldiers, he was very puzzled by Chu Jian's arrangement.
Conferring titles had always been a major event in the military.
It was an extremely sacred and solemn ceremony!
Forget about Hu Bayi, the other two didn't look like soldiers at all. Why were they suddenly given titles?
One week of training and you're considered a soldier?
Wasn't this a little too hasty?
Some of Hu Bayi's former comrades naturally felt a little unbalanced.
They were all enlisted in the same year, and Hu Bayi didn't have any military merits. Why was he suddenly given a title?
Moreover, even if Hu Bayi was promoted, he should be promoted to a first-class soldier, right? How did he get promoted from a private to a sergeant?
In the 1970s, the military ranks had not been changed many times, so there was no such thing as a sergeant major.
Above private was the rank of private, followed by the rank of sergeant, and above that was the rank of lieutenant, colonel, general, and marshal.
It was also because of this that the other soldiers felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, based on the time Hu Bayi had joined the army, he should have been a first-class soldier by now.
However, his previous thoughts were not on this at all. He was not disciplined and had no respect for superiority. That was why he was transferred to the engineer class.
Now, Hu Bayi had actually become a sergeant?
The atmosphere at the scene was a little strange, and everyone felt quite puzzled.
Chu Jian slowly walked forward with the three of them and stood on the flag platform under the watchful eyes of everyone.
After his eyes swept across every soldier with a dignified look, Chu Jian finally opened his mouth,"
"Comrades, I know that everyone has a lot of doubts in their hearts these days.
Even this ceremony, there must be someone who felt uncomfortable.
Of the three people standing beside me, one of them is a veteran, but he has never made any contributions. The other two have only been in the army for a week. How can they have the qualifications to be awarded a title?”
Chu Jian paused for a moment before continuing,"
"I understand the doubts in your hearts, and I don't want to explain anything now.
All you need to know is that Exploration Team 543 doesn't just belong to the Kunlun Garrison, it belongs to the entire country.
The reason why they had the qualifications to be awarded the title was because the missions they would face in the future would always be life-threatening situations.
The enemies you meet, they will meet.
They will still encounter enemies that you can't.
Exploration Team 543 was not a special force, but it was a more complicated and dangerous team than a special force.
They had to guard the border and protect it in secret!
Your titles and promotions are usually after you have established military merits.
However, the reason why they were given the rank of sergeant now was that after joining the 543 exploration team, they might never be able to return from every operation they carried out.
Giving them titles now was a kind of commendation for them, because from now on, their lives would no longer be guaranteed.
In exchange, he would protect the entire country!”
Chu Jian's words sounded particularly impassioned and even had a lofty intention, but not many people could understand it.
All the soldiers and officers below the stage were at a loss. They could not understand what kind of mission could be so dangerous. Even the special forces wouldn't dare to say that, right?
Besides, the members of the special forces were only at the rank of sergeant, right? How could the 543 Exploration Team compare to the Special Forces?
However, the highest-ranking officer in the station had such a high evaluation of the 543 exploration team. This made everyone curious, and they also felt a little yearning in their hearts.
In the impassioned national song, Chu Jian personally awarded the three of them the rank of sergeant, which was very incomprehensible to the other soldiers.
"Although Hu Bayi is a veteran, he has never made any achievements. It's not appropriate to make an exception and promote him to a sergeant, right?”
"There were two other people who were not soldiers at all, but they were also awarded the same title?”
The soldiers 'eyes were filled with confusion and doubt. To them, this was an extremely unreasonable matter.
Although the rank of a Corporal was not high, the three of them had made an exception. Ordinary soldiers would either have meritorious service or had been in the army for a long time. Otherwise, they would not even be able to think about it.
And now, all three of them had actually obtained the rank of corporal.
Although he was the lowest rank among the sergeants, he was still a sergeant!
This was Chu Jian's greatest ability. As the regiment commander, he had the right to confer the rank of sergeant to the soldiers in the regiment because the highest rank in the regiment was the rank of colonel.
However, if he wanted to get a higher rank or military medal, he had to report to his superiors. Chu Jian alone could not make the decision.
In the future, Team 543 would continue to expand their numbers. After all, the three of them were only the initial ones.
Later, Chu Jian would also apply to his superiors: Anyone who joined the 543 exploration team would be awarded the rank of sergeant from the moment they joined.
This was a special treatment for the 543 exploration team. It was similar to the special forces because they were destined to risk their lives to protect China and face unimaginable dangers.
As for the promotion of the team members, it would depend on their performance in the mission.
……
Then, amidst the applause that was neither too enthusiastic nor too approachable, the three of them walked down the platform in a daze. They still could not come back to their senses.
Especially Wu Sangou. A second ago, he was just a local scholar who couldn't see the light, but now, he was actually a sergeant.
He found it hard to believe such a change.
After the ceremony ended, Chu Jian and the other three walked towards the rest area. The four of them did not say a word along the way.
A moment later, Hu Bayi broke the silence."
"Chief, thank you…"
Wu Sangou wanted to say these words as well, but he had never said them out loud.
When Chu Jian heard this, he smiled and waved his hand,"
"Don't thank me. As long as you join Unit 543, you'll be able to shoulder this honor. In the future, if you have any military merits, I will report it for you.”
Wu Sangou said with a complicated expression,"
"I didn't expect that there would be such a day for me.
It was like a dream for a local scholar to become a sergeant.
However, Chief, I have a question. Why is our team called Exploration Team 543?”
Hearing this, Chu Jian exhaled meaningfully,"
"The five elements, four symbols, and three talents are the origin of the team's name.
This is also something that you can't avoid dealing with in the future, so it's more suitable for your team.
Mountains, rivers, rivers, tens of large dragon veins, hundreds of small dragon veins, all of which were born from the five elements and four images, and also appeared because of the three talents.
You'll understand after the mission…"
The three of them only felt that Chu Jian's words were meaningful, but they did not know that Chu Jian's eyes flashed with worry.
Although the three of them had passed the training, the danger they were about to face was immeasurable. It was completely incomparable to a grave robber.
And could they do it…
