The First Book: Reborn from the Fire Chapter 35: Qiao Yanwang's Pressure

  "Basic skills? Waist strength and hand-foot agility?"

  Maybe it was because I had been hit too many times in the army, but I quickly reacted from my numbness. My mind flashed back to the long movements just now, as if trying to find something from his words, and my body also moved slightly.

  For the several laps of 400 meters, I was actually very focused on watching, and even thought about his subtle movements when sliding. After careful consideration, I found that it was indeed a clever use. Seeing that I had already found the key, my eyes couldn't help but reveal a fiery glow.

  "That's right, you're learning very quickly!"

  A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, making me feel a little proud, and then he chuckled and said: "It seems that your team leader has indeed not misjudged this time, you guys have a good chance!"

  "What hope? What kind of hope?"

  I was taken aback, and when I heard what Lianchang said, it seemed as if I had been calculated by someone. Peng Ze and I exchanged a glance, and both of our eyes had a sense of being sold out. Could it be that we have always lived in someone's plan?

  And thinking of this person, I really have a little bit of discomfort, and can't help but bring up the complex emotions I now have towards 'Qiao Yan Wang' again. Thinking of his words that gave me the opportunity to defeat him fairly and squarely, my heart is really filled with mixed feelings.

  "To be honest with you two, you have already been assigned to our battalion and even reported to the regiment for military training assessment of new recruits!"

  Kuang Lian looked at me deeply and said: "As for me and Qiao Pailong, we hope that you two can join the Military Region's Special Reconnaissance Brigade!"

  "Special Reconnaissance Battalion of the Military Region?!"

  When these words echoed in my ears, it was like a thunderclap exploding beside me. Peng Ze's expression was like that of a young bride-to-be, both fearful and excited. If he hadn't been grasping my hand tightly with one of his, I would have suspected that his body was about to start raping the earth again.

  This news is also shocking to me, after all, who hears the name of the Military Region's Special Reconnaissance Brigade will have their eyes light up with envy. To know that this name has wandered in my heart countless times, but I never dared to think more about it. However, as I watch my physical fitness improve day by day, I finally realize that, as Commander Lian said, I seem to be getting closer and closer to this goal without realizing it.

  Can I really, through my own efforts, no longer follow the framework that my parents have drawn for me and spend my life in it? I took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in my heart, and looked at Kuang Lian with strong hope.

  "Do we really...really have hope?"

  An army brigade has at least 2-3 thousand people, a division has at least 10-20 thousand people, how many people are in an army? If we're talking about the military region, how many people would that be? A unit like the Military Region Special Reconnaissance Brigade is absolutely one in ten thousand, can I get in? My heart starts racing uncontrollably, pounding as if it's going to jump out.

  "Really? You think so?" Lian laughed and asked me back instead.

  "It's in our own hands, I still remember what Lian Zhang said!"

  Before I could express anything, Peng Zhen on the other side suddenly puffed out his chest, with fiery passion in his eyes, and replied loudly.

  "Not bad, just like Peng Yuyan, your progress is enough to make me and Qiao Fang feel surprised, even you yourself wouldn't have thought that there would be today, this is actually all your own achievement."

  Kuang Lian looked at Peng Zuo with satisfaction, even patted him on the shoulder twice, and encouraged: "So no matter how difficult it is, how hard the road ahead is, you two must remember that a true warrior, a true man, a true strong person, his fate is always in his own hands!"

  "So I hope it's also in our own hands!"

  My heart was moved, and I involuntarily repeated the words in a low voice, but it seemed that this sentence ignited all my fighting spirit inside me. For the first time, I felt that I should stand up straight and face all difficulties and dangers on my own. It seemed that with this sentence, I was no longer an indecisive young man who couldn't make any decisions for myself, not like before when even thinking about joining the army made me feel powerless. I seemed to have truly grown up.

  "It's good that you understand these things, and it won't be in vain for Qiao to have high expectations of you. I also hope that you will use actual actions to repay him."

  He nodded deeply, and his long gaze suddenly became somewhat profound. He seemed to say with some emotion:

  "Perhaps you once misunderstood him, or even thought he was unreasonable and overly strict with you, but don't forget that without him, there would be no today for you."

  "Report to the company commander, I haven't forgotten this! In fact, I've already understood the underlying principle!"

  I spoke out without hesitation and had long been well-considered.

  "Hmm, I believe this, after all you've read a lot of books and think things through clearly, unlike your elder brother..."

  Kuang Lianchang seemed to feel a sense of melancholy at this point, he sighed and looked at me and said: "Unlike Qiao Pailang, because he was not culturally qualified and was sent back, which caused him a lifelong regret, and also made him determined to help our XX hero company, cultivate re-entry special reconnaissance team warriors!"

  It wasn't until I arrived at the new recruit battalion that I realized our regiment had a long history and was established since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. The honor history of this regiment is enough to write a million-word epic, with heroic figures emerging one after another. All data indicates that this is a heroic regiment, and it is also a glorious and honorable regiment.

  It is an honor to be admitted to the special reconnaissance battalion, but if you are dismissed after being admitted, it is a shame for the troops. No matter whether you were eliminated due to inability to withstand the harsh training or because of cultural unfitness, the troops will not ask for reasons and everyone only looks at results.

  I suddenly thought that 'Qiao Yan Wang' was returned, in such a heroic team, in such a collective honor that is even more deeply felt in this unit, how much pressure did he receive.
