"Corporal Zhuo Tianlin."
"Here!" Zhuo Tianlin, who had just sat down, stood up again.
"Sit, sit, sit. Let's chat and relax.”
Looking at Gao Shiwei's " very approachable " attitude, Zhuo Tianlin pursed his lips in his heart. He replied respectfully," Yes ", and then sat down.
"Tianlin and Zhi, I'll be frank with you. You left a deep impression on me during the last drill. Staying in the kitchen and even the Iron Fist Regiment is a waste of your talent.”
"When the five of you were allocated, you could say that they weren't very outstanding soldiers. In the limited time you had, you trained them all to become soldier kings, at least in terms of physical fitness. This is a very outstanding talent. The army needs soldiers like you.”
"In a peaceful environment, on an invisible battlefield, war is never far away. Therefore, the headquarters hopes to utilize your talents and transfer you to a more dangerous position.”
" Once you go there, you will receive even more rigorous training. Of course, you will also have more time to train. However, in the future, you will likely encounter blood, dedication, and sacrifice.”
"I wanted to talk to you in advance because I wanted to ask for your opinion!”
Gao Shiwei looked at Zhuo Tianlin seriously and waited for his reply.
After hearing Gao Shiwei's words, Zhuo Tianlin heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly happy, but he replied seriously,"Report, as a soldier, obeying orders is a duty. At the same time, dedication, sacrifice, responsibility, and honor are also the pursuits of every soldier.”
"Very good!" Gao Shiwei nodded with satisfaction." Zhuo Tianlin and ZHi, as the deputy commander, I have helped you through the back door. I think you have guessed it. Next, go to the auditorium. There will be a commendation ceremony. You will receive the honor you deserve. Then, go to Wolf Fang."”
"Wolf Fang will establish a new team with you as the leader.”
"However, how far this team can go will depend on you and the soldiers you choose.”
"Yes, Chief. Please don't worry!”Zhuo Tianlin stood up, straightened his back, and shouted.
His voice traveled into the kitchen. Hearing Zhuo Tianlin's reply, Squad Leader Ma sighed and put down his chopsticks. He knew that Zhuo Tianlin was about to leave.
He was definitely reluctant to part with her.
However, he was also happy for Zhuo Tianlin and the others.
He raised his head and looked at Li Erniu and the others. He forced a smile and said,"Did you hear the vice-captain's voice? " Next, you will leave the cookhouse, the Fourth Company, and the Iron Fist Regiment. The squad leader hopes that you will remember that no matter where you go, you will always be a soldier, a soldier who walked out of the Iron Fist Regiment and the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters 'cookhouse!”
"Yes, class monitor!"
Tian Jun and the other five agreed in a low voice. Li Erniu had a bitter expression on his face as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Alright, let's eat. Don't let the Bureau Chief see your girly behavior!”Old Ma picked up his chopsticks again and started eating.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the cooks of the Fourth Company changed into their uniforms and entered the Regiment Hall with the Sharpshooter Fourth Company. In the auditorium, the cooks of the 4th Company were arranged in the second row in the middle. In the front row were the leaders of the regiment and some colonels and below from the headquarters.
"The chief has arrived. Everyone, stand up!"
Swoosh!
As Gao Shiwei and the others entered, the officer on duty gave a loud order. Hundreds of soldiers in the auditorium stood up and straightened their backs.
It was not until the chiefs were seated on the platform that the officer on duty ordered again,""Sit down!"
After taking their seats neatly, everyone straightened their backs and sat in their respective seats with the unique posture of a soldier.
Then, as the host, Kang Lei stood up first and made a brief report before leaving. Then, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei stood up from his seat and said a few words about the military exercise. Then, he changed the topic.
"In this annual military exercise, the Iron Fist Regiment's performance was not satisfactory, or rather, the headquarters was very dissatisfied. From now on, the Iron Fist Regiment would focus on training, spread their own strategic and tactical thinking, and make improvements.”
"However, the flaws do not obscure the merits. In this military exercise, we have also discovered many outstanding soldiers.”
"Now, I will read out the order from the Southeast Military Region Command!”
"Order No. XXXXXX of the Southeast Military Region, regarding the Iron Fist Regiment and the 4th Company of Sharpshooters, in view of their outstanding performance in the annual military exercise, daring to fight and flexible combat, we hereby award the 4th Company of Sharpshooters with a collective third-class merit!”
Crash…Following Gao Shiwei's announcement, a thunderous round of applause rang out. Gong Jian represented the Fourth Company and went up to the stage to receive the third-class merit.
"Order No. XXXXXX of the Southeast Military Region, in view of the outstanding performance of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company's cooking squad in this annual military exercise, we hereby grant you a collective third-class merit!”
After hearing this order, all the soldiers present, except those who knew the truth, were shocked. This was because, generally speaking, the smallest unit in the army that was awarded third-class collective merit was a company or a small team of independent troops.
The cooks were only a squad under the Sharpshooter Company. Their collective achievements should be counted on the Fourth Company. However, this time, the headquarters awarded the cooks a collective third-class merit.
Zhuo Tianlin and the others…
As expected, after Squad Leader Ma got off the stage excitedly, Gao Shiwei didn't finish reading the order.
" Order XXXXXX of the Southeast Military Region. In the annual military exercise, some of the soldiers of the Iron Fist Regiment performed exceptionally well. According to the research, we hereby award them with a third class merit: Sharpshooter, Fourth Company, First Class, Private He Chenguang, Great Merit, Sixth Company, Private Wang Yanbing, Sharpshooter, Fourth Company, Cookhouse, First Class, Private Tian Jun, Wu Bin, Tian Liang, Qin Guocheng, and Private Li Erniu!”
Whoosh! Everyone looked in the direction of the cooks. As expected, the cooks were awesome. Not only did they receive a collective third-class merit, but now five soldiers had also received an individual third-class merit.
This was seniority. With this third-class merit, these soldiers would definitely be promoted to sergeant. He might even be promoted to military school.
Moreover, everyone knew that this was not the time for the entire kitchen to be at its peak because there was still one person who had not gone up.
With neat steps and Tian Jun's command, the five cooks, He Chenguang, and Wang Yanbing walked up to the stage in a row of seven. They received the medals and certificates from the officers and saluted excitedly.
Then, he turned around and saluted all the officers and soldiers sitting below, winning thunderous applause again.
After the seven people left the stage, they were all extremely excited. Among them, Li Erniu and Wang Yanbing were the most excited. They were so excited that tears kept swirling in their eyes.
One of them was from a village, while the other was a gangster. Now that he had joined the army, in less than a year, he had obtained a third-class merit.
This was not just a medal, but also the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. They could not help but be excited.
