Chapter Eighteen

  For a young person, the speed of progress depends on whether I am forced to learn or I want to learn. When being forced to learn turns into wanting to learn, the unleashing of one's potential is unimaginable.

  On the third day back in the troops, the mysterious person that the army commander had spoken of arrived at their "Lightning Sword".

  The top leader of the military region, two generals, six lieutenant generals and many major generals came to their troops. This scene has never been seen since the establishment of "Lightning Sword". What they did not expect even more was that the highest core leader of China also came to their troops.

  That day they were training, and Boss Bo personally came to call them. He told them: "Later on, there will be an important leader coming to our unit, you all go prepare, he wants to meet with you."

  Jinfeng's curiosity arose again "What kind of person is the captain, so important?"

  "I don't know either, but it must be a big shot, otherwise the leaders of the military region wouldn't have come to welcome him in person." Jiang Qingbo really didn't know this time.

  They ran back to the main camp at a speed of 100 meters, and after entering the door, they saw a familiar but never-before-seen face. The face was kind and majestic, with a sense of awe-inspiring power that did not need to be angry.

  This was something they never expected, the highest core leader of China actually took time out of his busy schedule to see them. For a moment, he even forgot the most basic report. It was Jiang Qingbo who broke the ice. Then, seeing everyone standing there at a loss for what to do, he immediately reported:

  "Comrade Chairman, the 'Lightning Sword' special forces team from Group Army A has arrived in Estonia for the World Special Forces Competition. The preliminary members are already here. Please instruct, Team Leader Jiang Qingbo."

  Unexpectedly, the chairman stood up and shook hands with them one by one, just like a kind elder. He also invited them to sit beside him. As he looked at their young faces, the old man's face gradually became solemn.

  "Children, as a father, I only hope to see you happy, healthy and growing up happily. But now I am the highest leader of this army, you are China's strongest special forces warriors, which means that your burden will exceed the responsibilities that your age should bear. This is both a responsibility and an honor."

  The humiliating history of China over the past hundred years tells us that a weak country has no diplomacy. Whether our diplomatic personnel can gain more benefits for our country in the international arena depends on whether our armed forces are strong, and you are the best window to showcase our armed forces' strength.

  Comrades, your responsibility is great. But remember, you are not fighting alone, behind you there is the Party and the state and hundreds of millions of Chinese people who love peace. If there are any difficulties, just raise them, we Chinese have never had anything that can't be done."

  "Please rest assured, the Party and the people, we are Chinese soldiers. Our predecessors have shed their heads, spilled hot blood, and dedicated their youth. We can do the same. I don't dare say anything else, but here, we can make a military oath: this time, participating in the global special forces competition, we will not let those who have ulterior motives towards us look down on us." Yuan Shuai said with some excitement.

  "Don't worry, Mr. President, we will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the Party and the state." Li Nan said as he stood up.

  "Yes, rest assured, Mr. Chairman," everyone said firmly.

  "Please sit down, I believe in you all, just like I believe that the Chinese nation is the greatest nation in the world. I will cheer for you at home and your parents will also be waiting for good news from you at home." He said with deep feeling as he looked at these young special forces soldiers.

  At dinner time, the chairman even specially called them to sit with him together.

  The chairman's words further stirred up their fighting spirit.

  The team invited China's best coaches for them. Plus they were all originally very good to begin with.

  They have made tremendous progress in martial arts and marksmanship, with each shot hitting its target. Compared to the "Lightning Sword" veterans of hand-to-hand combat, they are not opponents to be underestimated. In just a few short months, they have undergone a complete transformation. It can be said that they are now truly worthy of being called the kings of special forces.

  Their hearts are now fully committed, previously it was the impulsiveness of a young man wanting to prove himself, but now they know that sometimes soldiers don't just live for themselves, their responsibilities weigh much more.

  The World Special Forces Competition is about to begin, they will set foot on a completely unfamiliar place, encounter a completely unfamiliar opponent, what kind of test will they face this time?
