In the early 1990s, when the Internet didn't exist, people had no way of knowing what the strictly confidential military life was like.
That was why these recruits were filled with fantasies and expectations for the upcoming three months of recruit camp.
After this person finished speaking, another person followed up.
"My reason is similar to yours. The way the tank soldiers drive their tanks forward on TV is deeply engraved in my mind.
I just thought that one day, I could become a tank soldier like those people I see on TV and touch a tank every day!”
The way the recruit talked about tanks was as if he was looking at his girlfriend, giving everyone goosebumps.
"Eh? Hurry up and shut your mouth, or else you're going to drool.”
"That's what I meant. Is this tank your girlfriend?”
However, such a drunk recruit did not change even a little because of everyone's disdain. He was still talking about the tank in a daze.
"Quick, quick, whoever's next, hurry up and make this tank fanatic shut his mouth.”
"I'll do it."
"Alright, you do it."
A dark-skinned recruit who was quite big and strong said in a local accent.
"I joined the army mainly because my father was also a soldier when he was young. He felt that if I didn't join the army, it would be embarrassing for him.”
Qi Tongwei glanced at the big guy and asked.
"What about you? Don't you want to come?"
The dark-skinned recruit smiled shyly.
"That's not true. I also wanted to be a soldier.
It's just that I don't think I have any special skills, and I'm not very smart. I'm afraid that if I do something wrong, I'll drag everyone down and be punished.”
The man's smile was bashful, revealing the innocence of his age.
However, Qi Tongwei could tell that this person was kind-hearted. It was just that he didn't know how to speak and was a little lacking in confidence.
According to his physical fitness, at least in the three months in the recruit camp, he must have lived better than the other people who did not have much muscle.
"That's not the case. We were assigned to the same class. That means that our comrades are an honorary body. We should bear the burden together.
Right, if you successfully leave the recruit camp, where do you want to go?”
Qi Tongwei's words made the other recruits feel very comfortable.
Their class monitor, Shi Jin, looked at Qi Tongwei meaningfully.
He was just an ordinary class monitor. Naturally, he didn't know Qi Tongwei's impressive resume and the uproar he had caused among the military's senior executives.
He only vaguely felt that it was rare for this recruit to have such a military mindset before he officially entered the military camp.
Combined with what he saw when he got on the bus, his physical fitness was much better than the other recruits.
Third Squad Leader Shi Jin's intuition told him that this recruit called Qi Tongwei would definitely stand out in this recruit camp.
The tanned man obviously hadn't thought about this question before. He raised his head and thought for a while before answering Qi Tongwei's question.
"I haven't thought about this yet. When the time comes, we'll just wait for the chiefs to distribute it.”
Qi Tongwei nodded. They had to follow the Bureau Chief's arrangements. Not everyone could go wherever they wanted to.
The remaining few people who did not say anything also said their reasons for joining the army and the military they wanted to be in the future.
After the first nine people finished speaking, it was Qi Tongwei's turn.
However, he didn't follow the conventional explanation. Instead, he asked everyone with some doubts.
"I don't see any of you saying that you want to be a special forces soldier. Logically speaking, weren't the special forces the most attractive type of soldier to recruit?!”
Qi Tongwei found this very strange. Logically speaking, young men who had just entered the military camp would yearn to be in the special forces. This was different from Qi Tongwei. An old fox like Qi Tongwei did not want to be in the special forces at all. His goal was to be an officer! It was the general!
However, when they heard Qi Tongwei's question, everyone looked confused. Moreover, there seemed to be a row of question marks on their foreheads.
Qi Tongwei suddenly reacted and cursed in his heart.
" F * ck, don't tell me there are no special forces at this time!'
Sure enough, when Qi Tongwei realized this problem, the sports student Wang Mingyu asked.
"What kind of special forces are they? Does our Dragon Country have such a military unit?"
Qi Tongwei smiled awkwardly. This time, he realized that in the early 1990s, the Dragon Country's first special forces had not been established yet. He hurriedly explained.
"Maybe I remembered wrongly."
Then, like the previous nine people, Qi Tongwei quickly explained his reason for joining the army, trying to divert the topic of the special forces.
Although the truck was bumpy, the group of people chatted in the car and did not feel that time was too hard.
The truck drove through the city, the countryside, and the wilderness for a while before arriving at its final destination.
It had been almost two hours since they left the train station. The sky had turned from day to dusk.
The recruits who had been hurrying on their way were already feeling hungry.
On the way, they either took the train or the truck. They either ate instant noodles or dry rations. It had been a long time since they had a proper meal.
Of course, Qi Tongwei's Class Three was the only exception to such a situation, because there was a comrade in their class who brought pork knuckles.
Listening to the rumbling sounds coming from the surrounding teams, everyone in Class 3 thanked Luo Yong for the pork knuckle in their hearts.
The recruits got off the truck and stood in their assigned formation. They followed Lin Ming into the place that was closed by two large iron gates.
They knew that behind these two iron gates was the place where they would live and train for the next three months. It was also the place where they would witness their growth.
"Everyone, march together!"
Lin Ming walked at the front and led the recruits into the recruit camp.
Even though the recruits were walking in unison, Lin Ming didn't stop to correct them.
" There's plenty of time in the future anyway, so there's no rush. Let these new recruits rest for the night first.'
After leading the recruits to the field of the recruit camp, Lin Ming stopped and turned to speak to all the recruits.
"Today is your first day in the recruit camp, and it is also the only time for you to adapt!
In the following time, you will be training in this independent recruit camp for a full three months, laying a solid foundation for your future assignment to the various companies.
Soldiers shed blood and sweat without tears. Let me give you a heads-up.
No matter how tough the training is, don't forget that you are soldiers of the Dragon Country!
I hope that in three months, when the big trucks come back to pick you up, you will be able to grow into qualified soldiers!
Do you see the Dragon Country's flag hanging high behind me?
Since you have chosen to be a soldier, you must be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the Dragon Country. You must be worthy of the big red flower on your chest and the name of the Dragon Country's soldier!
I won't say anything else to you. Everyone has one. Follow me!”
Although Platoon Leader Lin didn't say much, just a few words still made the vast majority of the recruits feel their blood boil.
Qi Tongwei was still puzzled when he entered the recruit camp. It seemed that there was only one camp area here, and it was surrounded by dense forests.
After listening to Lin Ming's words, he finally understood that he had to survive the three months of being a recruit before he had the chance to experience real military life in a regular company.
