After leaving the commander's office, Chen Ming returned to the special forces office building. He leaned back in his chair and flipped through the documents that the commander had given him.
His gaze kept sweeping across the names on the information.
At the moment, he was not in a hurry to select soldiers.
Instead, he had to choose two officers to help him.
It would be best if one was civil and the other was martial.
One was the instructor of the special forces, and the other was the captain.
After spending nearly an hour, he finalized two candidates and marked them with a red pen.
He then left the office building, boarded a jeep with a red flag, and drove somewhere.
……
Sounding Arrow Regiment, Tiger Battalion, Infantry Company 7.
A dark-skinned man in his thirties was training his soldiers under the sun.
The man's name was Gao Jianguo, a native of northern Shaanxi. He was currently the company commander of the 7th Infantry Company, a first lieutenant.
The Seventh Company was the most famous company in the Sounding Arrow Regiment. Every soldier in the Seventh Company was a top soldier, and their overall quality was much higher than other companies.
The reason was naturally Gao Jianguo.
Gao Jianguo had his own way of training soldiers. Although he was very strict with others, he did not lose his gentleness. He was famous for his sharp tongue but soft heart.
The soldiers under him all knew his character. Although he had a dark face, he was very caring. Most of the soldiers of the Seventh Company had been taken care of by him, so they were very respectful to him. They were especially serious and hardworking during their daily training, not daring to slack off.
When it came to leading troops, Gao Jianguo was definitely a first-class talent.
However, after so many years, he had brought out many outstanding top soldiers, but his military rank remained at first lieutenant and had never been promoted.
As for the reason, many veterans of the Sounding Arrow Regiment knew it very well.
A few years ago, Gao Jianguo had offended Wei Dongsheng, the deputy commander of the Sounding Arrow Regiment.
Wei Dongsheng was narrow-minded, and he naturally tried his best to suppress Gao Jianguo, a subordinate who had offended him.
There were a few times when the regiment headquarters wanted to promote Gao Jianguo from company level to battalion level, but they were forced back by Wei Dongsheng.
Although Wei Dongsheng was the deputy regiment commander, he was a colonel, the same rank as the regiment commander. However, he was not officially appointed to a regimental position.
Therefore, even the captain of the Sounding Arrow Regiment wanted to promote Gao Jianguo, but he could not because of Wei Dongsheng.
The veterans of the Seventh Company were also angry because Gao Jianguo had not been promoted for so many years, but there was nothing they could do.
Wei Dongsheng was in the Sounding Arrow Regiment, who could resist him?
"Everyone, cheer up. Don't be lazy like a dead pig!”
Gao Jianguo placed his hands behind his back and shouted at the soldiers in front of him.
The soldiers didn't dare to be negligent, and they continued to train.
Chi chi!
Suddenly, the sound of a car braking could be heard not far away.
Gao Jianguo and the soldiers of the Seventh Company turned their heads and saw an army green jeep coming over and stopping beside the training ground.
Jeeps were still rare in this era, and even field officers might not be able to get one.
Gao Jianguo naturally knew that the person who came was a high-ranking officer. He immediately waved at the soldiers and said," Stop training!”
Chen Ming pushed open the car door and got out. He lifted his military cap and walked toward Gao Jianguo.
Jianguo Gao was surprised to see Chen Ming's young face.
He glanced at the two three-star swords on Chen Ming's shoulders and was even more shocked.
He was so young, yet he was a colonel.
He was certain that this young man definitely had a background in the army. Otherwise, how could he be a colonel at such a young age?
Gao Jianguo did not dare to be negligent and saluted Chen Ming." Greetings, Chief Ace!”
Chen Ming sized Gao Jianguo up and said," You must be Gao Jianguo!”
Jianguo Gao nodded.
"Alright, get in the car with me!" Chen Ming waved his hand.
Gao Jianguo was stunned." Chief A, where are we going?"”
"Special forces, have you heard of them?" Chen Ming asked.
Gao Jianguo was stunned for a moment and replied,""I've heard of it recently."
Two days ago, the news of Wei Dongsheng's failure to become the commander of the special forces had spread throughout the entire Sounding Arrow Regiment. It was said that he had been confident of winning, but unexpectedly, a high-ranking official's son appeared out of nowhere and snatched the position of commander.
Many of the soldiers in the Sounding Arrow Regiment who were unhappy with Wei Dongsheng were overjoyed when they heard the news of Wei Dongsheng being defeated.
Although Gao Jianguo was not the kind of person to gloat, he had heard a lot of rumors and more or less knew that the military region was going to establish a new special force.
Presumably, the Chen Ming in front of him was the son of a high-ranking official who made Wei Dongsheng stumble.
"I've read your information. You're quite capable. It's a waste of your talent to be the captain of the Sounding Arrow Regiment. I happen to be lacking a helper.”
"I will apply to the commander to promote you to captain first. When the special forces are established in the future, you will be promoted to a colonel sooner or later!”Chen Ming said to Gao Jianguo.
To sum it up, there was only one sentence,"Follow me, you have a better future than staying here."
Jianguo Gao's hands trembled when he heard Chen Ming's words.
All these years, he had trained the soldiers diligently, but because of Wei Dongsheng's suppression, he had not been promoted. It was naturally impossible to say that he had no resentment.
A soldier who didn't want to be a general wasn't a good soldier. Gao Jianguo naturally wanted to be promoted.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he would definitely be tempted.
When the soldiers of the Seventh Company heard that their company commander was finally going to be promoted, they were all happy for Gao Jianguo from the bottom of their hearts.
But at this moment, Gao Jianguo gritted his teeth and said,""Captain A, I'm sorry, but I can't go with you because I can't leave these soldiers behind.”
Chen Ming frowned and shouted coldly,""Stupid!"
"Ask your soldiers if they want you to stay or if they want you to be promoted!”
"After being suppressed by Wei Dongsheng for so many years, don't you want to change to a better place to display your talents?”
"It's not wrong to value relationships, but opportunities wait for no one. If you're not willing to come, I'll find someone else! Are you willing to miss out on your bright future and be a company commander for the rest of your life? Don't you regret it when you can't sleep in the middle of the night?”
Chen Ming's stern words struck Gao Jianguo like a bolt of lightning, causing his body to tremble and his pupils to widen.
He slowly turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him.
"Company commander, to be honest, we all miss you, but we hope that you can have a better development!”
"That's right, Company Commander. Even if you leave, you will always be the best Company Commander in my heart!”
"Company commander, go to the special forces. You shouldn't stay in the Sounding Arrow Regiment all the time!”
"Company Commander, when you are promoted to a colonel in the future, come back to see us!”
The soldiers looked at Gao Jianguo with red eyes. Although they couldn't bear to part with him, everyone sincerely hoped that Gao Jianguo could leave the Sounding Arrow Regiment and join a more promising unit.
Gao Jianguo's gaze swept across the soldiers, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Company commander, I wish you a bright future!" A soldier clenched his fist and shouted at the sky.
The rest of the soldiers shouted in unison,"Company commander, I wish you a bright future!"
His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire training ground.
Gao Jianguo nodded with tears in his eyes. He swept his gaze across the soldiers and remembered every soldier's face. Then, he turned around and saluted Chen Ming." Chief A, I'll go with you!”
