Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1383 Pass 3 Levels, Fight for No. 1!

"Gentlemen, how have you been these past few days since arriving at the Shihezi training base? Are you getting used to the food and lodging?"

The next morning, in the headquarters canteen.

Tang Yuanchao chose to discuss the upcoming work by having breakfast together and chatting over it.

Man Xiongzhi smiled and said, "The food here is very similar to what we eat on the grasslands; whether it's hand-grabbed rice, baked buns, or milk skin, we can all get used to it."

"even......"

He picked up a slice of raw onion from the plate on the table and popped it into his mouth: "Even this early morning raw onion tastes very appetizing and refreshing."

The professional blue team is stationed at the Zhurihe training base on the grassland, and their diet is mostly from the second-class kitchen.

Because of the abundant pastures and numerous cattle and sheep in the area, the Blue Army soldiers were often able to eat fresh and succulent beef and mutton.

According to local custom, after eating too much beef and mutton, onions and garlic are needed to cut through the greasiness and remove the gamey smell.

Man Xiongzhi is from Shandong Province. Although he wears glasses and looks like a cultured person, he is actually very generous and forthright at heart.

My favorite hometown dishes, besides scallion pancakes, are scallion pancakes and spicy stir-fried small fish; and I can naturally get used to the relatively rustic food here.

Yin Tianchou took a baked bun and handed it to his younger brother Yin Tianqin, who was standing next to him. He smiled and said, "I used to live in the south, where the climate is mild and humid. Plus, it's near the sea, so the sea air is quite strong."

"Although I experienced some discomfort from the change in environment on the way here, I felt at ease once I landed and my body adapted."

"Soldiers are made of steel and have an iron will; they can adapt quickly wherever they go."

Yin Tianqin, the younger brother, took a bite of the baked bun in his hand and drank a sip of warm red brick milk tea.

"This kind of steamed bun can be a small soup dumpling in Jiangnan; a soft and fluffy steamed meat bun in the north; and here it can be baked until the skin is golden brown and crispy, which is truly a unique flavor."

The two brothers were full of witty remarks, which not only attracted the attention of Man Xiongzhi, but also made Commander Tang look at them with new respect.

The older brother attributed the embarrassment of being tricked by Qin Feng to being unaccustomed to the local environment.

This means that if Qin Feng were on his turf, he would not only fail to succeed, but would most likely suffer a setback.

The younger brother, Yin Tianqin, used steamed buns as a metaphor to imply that the same thing can change its form depending on the environment.

Jiangnan soup dumplings are delicate and small, with thin skin and rich soup, just like the unassuming soldiers of the southeast.

Northern-style meat buns are fluffy and large, much like the boldness and unpretentiousness of northerners.

As for the baked buns here, they have a hard and crispy outer shell, filled with mutton filling.

This perfectly embodies the "solid armor" forged by the soldiers of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps under the tempering of extreme environments and climates.

"Since ancient times, the frontier has been home to many elite troops." Rong Hui also commented on the two men's views: "What the Yin brothers said is also what we have all seen and felt these past few days."

"If you don't come here, it's hard to see such a magnificent natural landscape; it's also hard to see so many brave soldiers and generals who have been through so much hardship and tempering."

It must be said that Lao Hui has reached a pinnacle of mastery in the art of language.

These words, though a summary of what came before, truly resonated with Commander Tang, making him overjoyed.

This region boasts magnificent natural scenery, featuring the Tianshan and Qilian Mountains, as well as the picturesque Sayram Lake.

However, this is also the "hardship and remote area" option in the conscription registration process.

Coming here to serve in the military is almost tantamount to accepting that you will suffer hardship and torment in the years to come.

The conditions were especially harsh for some soldiers stationed in outposts on the mountains.

Especially in winter, when the mountains are covered in snow, even transporting supplies up and down the mountain becomes an extremely difficult task.

In the past, when conditions were poor, some soldiers even lost their lives due to a cold and fever.

He had two more years of mandatory military service left. As he approached his discharge, he looked more than ten years older, with rough cheeks like plaster on a wall and hands covered in chilblains and calluses.

Some veterans who have been in service for more than ten years are experiencing thinning and hair loss, and their physical functions are aging rapidly.

That's why the allowances and demobilization pay for soldiers here are much higher than in other places.

But the soldiers felt at ease accepting the money, and the army felt it was a justified payment.

Compared to the soldiers' selfless dedication in safeguarding peace and stability in the border region, this money is nothing.

Tang Yuanchao, as the commander stationed in this harsh and remote area, held a position roughly equivalent to a high-ranking official in ancient times, and he also felt very sorry for the soldiers under his command.

The creation of heavy armor synthesizers is not only to relieve the pressure on grassroots soldiers, but also to allow elites from other regions to come here and deeply experience the bitterness in the sweetness of snow water.

Tang Yuanchao turned his gaze to Qin Feng, who had been sitting there silently breaking apart his naan bread without saying a word: "Brigadier Qin, have you been sleeping soundly since you arrived here?"

"It's great, the air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful."

"That's it?"

"Ah."

Seeing that Qin Feng seemed reluctant to speak and appeared to be in low spirits, Commander Tang didn't say anything more.

He always felt that Qin Feng was somewhat biased and had not been fair and just in the division of troops.

Therefore, it's understandable that people have grievances and feel unhappy about it.

However, there are some things he can't decide; he can only turn a blind eye to them.

The others also noticed Qin Feng's displeasure, though they didn't express it, they understood perfectly well.

They had already heard about the departure of about a hundred people from the Motorbike Brigade yesterday.

And it caused quite a stir at the Shihezi base, even reaching some other military units.

Many people are saying that Commander Qin Feng is incompetent and can't control the situation, which is why his subordinates are demoralized.

This indirectly led to Qin Feng being eliminated from the four candidates ahead of time, as if he was not worthy of competing with the others.

Qin Feng didn't care much about this, and he didn't need to live up to other people's expectations.

There are many people in the military, and it's impossible to please everyone. He can't control what people say.

Since everyone thinks he was humiliated and lacked ability, then let's just leave it at that.

Strength is never something you can boast about; it's something you can prove with your fists.

After finishing his breakfast, Commander Tang wiped his mouth with a tissue, then took several documents from his secretary and distributed them to the key commanders below him.

"Let me explain the upcoming plans. The process of forming a synthesizer team will take approximately six months."

"Six months from now, this unit will be truly operational and possess combat capabilities far exceeding those of any division-level unit in the country."

"Therefore, over the next three months, you need to train, select, and screen your units according to the plan. Select the best of the best."

"It doesn't matter if the number of people decreases, because we will continue to recruit, and we will not recruit from new recruits, but directly select elites from local veterans to join us."

Commander Tang's words succinctly summarized the process this team would go through in the next few stages, as well as the functions it should assume after it is established.

"For the next three months, there will be a comprehensive assessment at the end of each month."

"These are physical fitness, military skills, and comprehensive drills, also known as exercises."

"During the process, I also had Consultant Rong and the organization would evaluate and score the performance of the individuals."

"These scores will directly affect who among you will be able to assume the position of commander of the First Division of Yan Kingdom."

"From now on, it's up to each of you to see if you can overcome these three challenges and have the last laugh!"
