Chapter 1 (5)

  Xiao Hei came to Erlian when Erlian had not been connected for a long time.

  The former company commander broke his leg in a helicopter rappelling exercise and suffered severe brain concussion, and has been hospitalized ever since.

  The battalion leader looked for several candidates, but no one was willing to come. No one wanted to be the "second-in-command". Finally, a lieutenant named Li Bing from the battalion headquarters gave in to the leadership's threats and inducements, and came to the second company as the acting company commander.

  The team's morale was volatile, and the situation was complicated. The instructor at that time had already been assigned to a higher-level organization, and Sergeant Ma Cheng had long coveted the position of company commander, so it was basically impossible for Li Canmuo to become a good acting company commander.

  Ma Cheng's life was not going well. Originally, he was the platoon leader of the company, and after his term as platoon leader ended, he should have become deputy company commander. However, at that time, the army reduced its personnel, and the position of deputy company commander was abolished. The leadership then temporarily made him the company's logistics officer, but later all logistics officers were replaced by non-commissioned officers, leaving Ma Cheng without a position again. Just then, the instructor left, and Ma Cheng naturally became the acting instructor of the company. Li Bing and Ma Cheng had a very awkward relationship because they often clashed with each other.

  It is said that later Li Dailian got up to go to the toilet on a certain night when the power was out, and he didn't know whether he had taken someone else's way or made a mistake himself, and he fell into a panda eye. Similar things kept happening, and Li Bing later took the initiative to return to the organ, telling the leader that he would rather die than work in the second company again. The position of battalion commander was vacant again, and the battalion's work was temporarily taken over by Ma Cheng alone.

  No one wants to come to the Second Company, but Ma Cheng doesn't want to leave. Ma Cheng is a native-born cadre of the company, and his military quality is not bad either. He has been serving as deputy company commander for two years, and it's just a matter of time before he is promoted to company commander. Ma Cheng's greatest wish is to become the company commander of the Second Company one day and revive its former glory. After Li Bing left, he thought he could smoothly take over as company commander, but unexpectedly, Xiao Hei came, and the battalion leadership asked him to temporarily act as company commander of the Second Company.

  Xiao Hei arrived at the Erlian base in late September of that year, when the troops had just finished their sea training mission in a certain coastal area and were taking a short break before preparing to welcome the upcoming thousand-mile comprehensive exercise.

  Ma Cheng led the entire company to stand in formation on the beach outside the tent, holding a simple welcoming ceremony for Xiao Hei. When Captain Wan Ba Tian brought Xiao Hei over, everyone from the second company stared with wide eyes, wanting to see what this Xiao Hei, who was almost blown up by the media as a god, looked like.

  When they saw Xiao Hei, both of them were stunned.

  Xiao Hei was very short and thin, with long arms and shiny black skin. If he wasn't wearing a military uniform, people would definitely mistake him for a chimpanzee that had escaped from the zoo. This appearance, it's really not like that of a special forces soldier, let alone the legendary special warfare hero who could kick an American devil to the ground with one foot and make him unable to get up.

  If Chinese special forces were selected in the same way as American soldiers, it's estimated that Xiaohuang would not be able to join the special forces even if he waited another 20 years. This is a height that is considered third-rate and disabled, and is also a height at which ordinary women would sneer and laugh, saying that he will be a bachelor for his whole life.

  After Wan Ba Tian briefly introduced Xiao Hei's situation, Xiao Hei walked to the front of the team, saluted and said calmly:

  "My name is Wang Jinfu, nickname Xiao Hei, from now on I will work with everyone together, hoping for more help and support."

  He looked rather weak and obviously lacked energy. However, when he reported his name and nickname, the two men thought to themselves that this guy was a bit silly.

  Wan Ba Tian again instructed Ma Cheng and Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei had just arrived at the company and was not familiar with the situation. The task of the exercise was completed by Ma Cheng as the company commander. The two should work together in unity. After the exercise ended and the troops returned to their original garrison, they would formally study and determine the military and political leaders of the second company.

  Ma Cheng immediately patted Wan Ba Tian on the chest, no problem, but in his heart he began to ponder. Previously, he had analyzed that for the Second Company to re-enter the ranks of advanced companies, they must have someone who was very familiar with the company to lead it. According to this requirement, it should be him. But now, they were letting Xiao Hei act as the deputy company commander, and he couldn't understand what the leadership meant.

  Ma Cheng sent off Wan Ba Tian with a heavy heart, but when he turned back, he saw several soldiers surrounding Xiao Hei, competing to carry things for him and inviting Xiao Hei to live in their tent.
