Early the next morning, Chang Ning was stopped by Chen Guotao while he was participating in training.
"Chang Ning, come here, I have something to ask you."
"coming."
Chang Ning said hello to the squad leader and then walked towards Chen Guotao who was standing by the playground.
"Platoon commander, are you looking for me?"
When a platoon leader has something to do, the normal procedure is to find the squad leader, who is definitely not a private. Although the rank of this private is a bit high, without specific arrangements, Chang Ning is still a private.
'It couldn't have happened last night, could it?'
After much deliberation, Chang Ning felt that the only thing that happened between him and Chen Guotao was the discussion of his illness last night.
"I thought about what you said last night after I returned to the dormitory all night.
You're right, I'm an adult, not a child anymore. I have to be responsible for the consequences of whatever I decide."
Chen Guotao's expression became complicated when he said this, with a mixture of unwillingness and relief, which was quite contradictory.
Last night, Chen Guotao went back and thought about it all night. Do he really want to risk being unable to stand up in the future to participate in the special forces selection training?
At that moment, Chen Guotao thought of his parents who were no longer young and the person who was still waiting for him. He couldn't imagine what his family would become once he couldn't stand up.
He is no longer a child. He is burdened with many responsibilities, and these responsibilities require a healthy Chen Guotao who can run and jump, not a person sitting in a wheelchair.
'Can I really bear the consequences?'
Thinking that once he can no longer stand up, it means that he will have to change his job, and which unit in society will require a person in a wheelchair?
And he couldn't bear to part with his military uniform. After joining the army for so many years, the imprint of being a soldier was deeply imprinted on Chen Guotao's bones. What can he do in society?
Reason told Chen Guotao that he must give up his dream.
After thinking about it, Chen Guotao suddenly felt as if something had been removed from his body, and he felt much more relaxed.
Looking at the 19-year-old young man in front of him, who is already a second lieutenant, perhaps his dream will come true through this young man.
After listening to Chen Guotao's words, Chang Ning did not express an opinion, but just looked at him quietly, waiting for the next step.
"So I have two things to ask you today." Chen Guotao said.
"Platoon leader, tell me, I will definitely help you if I can."
"You kid, you are still playing tricks in front of me. Don't worry, can I still embarrass you?"
When Chen Guotao saw that Chang Ning was really cautious about him, he suddenly felt angry and funny.
"After all, I am also a close comrade-in-arms who has worked closely with you in exercises, and I can still trick you."
Seeing that Chang Ning was embarrassed by what he said, Chen Guotao let him go.
"Speaking of business.
The first thing is, I told you last night that it is my dream to become a special forces soldier. Now I can't realize it, so I ask you to realize it for me."
Chang Ning: "Chen Pai, don't say anything about please or not, I'll help you with this matter."
Chen Guotao: "The second thing is that you and I will go to the Military Region General Hospital today and act as an errand boy during the physical examination."
"No, Platoon Commander, I still have some training to do."
The second thing was that Chang Ning rejected Chen Guotao without thinking about it and accompanied Chen Guotao for a physical check-up. The whole day was wasted in going back and forth, and he still had to train.
Without training, the system will not give Chang Ning merit points. How can Chang Ning buy high-tech weapons in the mall without merit points?
Chang Ning had already thought about it. Once he had enough merit points, he would redeem the discounted stun gun first.
Then it is handed over to the country. If nothing else, the battery technology inside is worth a lot of money!
Therefore, Chang Ning does not want to waste any time now. This is not time, it is merit points! It is the progress of national science and technology!
"At your current level, it doesn't matter if you don't train for a day. Apart from other things, how can any of our fighters compare to you based on your physical fitness?
Let’s talk about marksmanship. You broke the entire military record for the Scout’s mobile and rapid fire, right? No one has surpassed this record to this day.
Don't tighten yourself too much, just listen to me today."
After saying that, he took Chang Ning and got into the car.
What can Chang Ning do? Now that they are all in the car, they can only follow Chen Guotao.
"Platoon leader, can we grab one more person when we go to the military headquarters?"
"You're talking about Xiaozhuang, right?"
At first, Chen Guotao didn't think about this, but when Chang Ning mentioned it, he immediately understood.
If Xiaozhuang's girlfriend hadn't been covering them during the drill, he and Xiaozhuang would have been caught by the high school team.
Xiaozhuang's girlfriend works at the Military Region General Hospital. Taking Xiaozhuang there this time is a way of repaying the favor for helping in the first place.
"Yes, isn't Xiaoying at the main hospital?"
"Okay, I'll go tell Miao Lian."
Xiaozhuang is still working as a clerk for Miao Lian, so he needs to talk to Miao Lian about this matter.
The two then called the company headquarters to find Miao Lian who was reading the documents, and explained the cause and effect to Miao Lian.
Miao Lian took off his glasses and took a sip of tea that was placed next to him.
"Okay, there's nothing going on, let's go together.
You kid doesn't make people worry. You don't tell me about such a big thing. What if my condition worsens?
I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from fooling me."
When Miao Lian learned about Chen Guotao's illness, he felt frightened. He could not imagine that he would agree to Chen Guotao's participation in the Wolf Fang training camp with such a serious illness. What would happen if his condition worsened due to training.
"Okay, let's leave now?"
Seeing that Miao Company wanted to follow him, what else could Chen Guotao do? He knew the temper of his company commander, and he would definitely not be able to persuade him, so he had no choice but to agree.
In the car, Xiaozhuang didn't know what they were going to do.
"Where are we going?"
"In the Military Region General Hospital, we went to check Chen Pai's body. I took you with me just because I saw that Xiaoying was working there, so I told Tong Miaolian to give you benefits.
When you get there, go find your girlfriend, you don't have to worry about Chen Pai."
Chang Ning didn't give Xiaozhuang a chance to speak, and made arrangements for him clearly.
Xiaozhuang is a sentimental person and would definitely take care of Chen Guotao as soon as he knew he was sick. This was not in line with Chang Ning's original intention.
Besides, it's just a physical check-up, which Chang Ning can do alone. The reason why I brought Xiaozhuang with me is to let him accompany his girlfriend. It will be difficult to meet again in the future.
Anyone who knows the plot knows the tragedy between Xiaozhuang and Xiaoying. Since Chang Ning is here, he will not let it happen.
Xia Lan doesn't have that much face with him. Even if his life is at stake, it won't be easy even if he has the ostrich's face!
"Isn't this bad?"
Xiaozhuang was a little embarrassed. Everyone was busy with Chen Pai, but he felt a little uncomfortable going to the hospital to find his girlfriend.
"What's wrong? It's your duty to accompany your girlfriend.
Don't forget that your girlfriend and her comrades helped us during the exercise.
I brought you here just to repay the favor, so don’t be embarrassed."
Chen Guotao told Xiaozhuang the excuse he had thought up, otherwise Xiaozhuang might be embarrassed to see his girlfriend.
"Okay, thank you, platoon leader."
Xiaozhuang has kept everyone's kindness in mind. Why do his comrades care so much about it?
The group of people separated at the outpatient department of the Military Region General Hospital. Xiaozhuang went to find his girlfriend alone, while Chang Ning and Miao Lian accompanied Chen Guotao to register and pay.
When they arrived at the doctor's office, Chang Ning and Miao Lian were kicked out. Chen Guotao was the only one inside who was communicating with the doctor about his condition.
The soundproofing of the office was very good, and the two people who were kicked out could only see the doctor pointing at the test sheets and X-ray films and saying something through the glass.
Chang Ning is relatively calm. The current Chen Guotao has not experienced the extreme training of Langya and his condition should not be serious.
But Miao Lian didn't know that in his mind Chen Guotao was an extremely important middle-level cadre for the Yehu Reconnaissance Company.
Seeing that Miao Lian was restless, pacing back and forth, sometimes stopping to look through the glass to see what was going on inside, even though he couldn't get any news.
"Miao Lian, please sit down for a while."
"This guy Chen Guotao has been here for a long time, I'm worried!"
Miao Lian sat on the chair with a worried look on his face.
"Hey, isn't this Lao Miao? Why did you come to the hospital and feel unwell?"
The hearty voice echoed in the corridors of the hospital, attracting the attention of all patients and medical staff.
The owner of the voice didn't care about this and walked quickly towards Miao Lian who was sitting on the chair.
When he heard someone calling him, Miao Lian looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw that the person calling him was Kang Lei, Miao Lian's already bad expression instantly dropped.
He felt that his blood pressure was about to soar, and his head began to hurt.
Captain Kang turned a blind eye to Miao Lian's expression and sat down next to Miao Lian.
Chang Ning also saw Captain Kang and immediately stood up to salute, but was stopped.
"You must be Chang Ning. You shot me to death in the last exercise. I still remember this."
Captain Kang recognized the Red Army scout who sniped him last time at a glance. Given his rank, it was easy to check Chang Ning's information.
At this time, Chang Ning had not yet entered the special forces, so the confidentiality level of his information was not high.
"Chief, the drill is actual combat!"
The person involved encountered him and made things difficult for him. He had a higher military rank than him, so Chang Ning had to bite the bullet and give a standard answer to escape.
"Okay, why are you embarrassing my soldiers?"
Miao Lian couldn't stand it any longer. He glared and asked Captain Kang not to go too far.
Kang Lei and Miao Company were comrades-in-arms during the Battle of Laoshan. We were all comrades-in-arms who had squatted in the same trench. We were brothers who shared a cigarette at the time. They knew each other well.
If Miao Lian hadn't been able to enter the Wolf Fang due to injury, his current military rank would not be lower than that of Commander Kang.
"Did you take gunpowder today? I was just joking with Chang Ning. If others don't know my temper, why don't you know it?" Captain Kang said seriously when he saw that Miao Lian was not in a good mood.
Miao Lian thought that Kang Lei was a master who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. He must have something to come to see him, and it was not easy to handle.
He made up his mind that if Kang Lei's matter was too troublesome, he would not agree. After making some calculations in his mind, Miao Lian said: "It is precisely because we are all old acquaintances and know each other's ins and outs, so there are so many twists and turns when talking about something."
Why are you twisting and turning!"
"Okay, Lao Miao, I won't talk in circles with you anymore. Let's open the skylight and talk openly today.
I have taken a liking to Chang Ning from your company, will you let him go?"
What!
Chang Ning originally planned to be a little transparent on the side and eat the leaders' melon quietly, but in the end, the melon was eaten by himself.
"I?"
"Yes, it's you. How about it? If you're not interested in joining our Iron Fist Regiment, I'll let you be the platoon leader in the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters.
You Miao people are so busy, but you are already a second lieutenant and they still don’t arrange things for you. It’s a waste of talent!”
Seeing Captain Kang looking heartbroken in front of him, Chang Ning didn't know how to answer the question.
Miao Lian's face turned dark. The person who poached him in front of him simply didn't take him seriously. It was so arrogant!
"Kang Lei, don't go too far!"
"Excessive? Where did I go too far? Good birds choose trees to roost, why are you anxious!
Anyway, our regiment is also from the Southeast Military Region, so Chang Ning is not considered an outsider to join our regiment.
Who doesn’t know what your old seedlings are planning? I really don’t understand why you want to send such good seedlings to Langya?
The highest achievement of the special forces is probably at the level of Lao He.
Although our promotion at the grassroots level is slow, the upper limit is high!"
Seeing that Miao Lian was not relenting, Captain Kang continued to persuade him without giving up.
In Kang Lei's words, I, the old Miao, have become the kind of person who ruins the future of soldiers for his own dreams. If the soldiers don't want to, he will not force them.
He had talked with Chang Ning before. At that time, Chang Ning made it clear that he wanted to join the special forces. Moreover, Chang Ning's personal military literacy was already excellent.
It's not impossible for Chang Ning to become a junior officer now, but he would have to spend a lot of energy to start from scratch, which is not cost-effective.
"How can I not understand this? You should also put away your petty thoughts.
If you want to poach Chang Ning, I won't stop you.
To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. As long as Chang Ning wants to go to your place, I will go to the head of the group to sign and be the person!"
Miao Lian said straightforwardly that he was originally upset about Chen Guotao, but now he no longer wanted to be with Kang Lei.
"How about Chang Ning? I guarantee that it will be more comfortable for you to join our regiment than for you to stay in the reconnaissance company."
Captain Kang said to Chang Ning.
Seeing that the ball was kicked to him, Chang Ning glanced at Miao Lian subconsciously. As a result, Miao Lian closed his eyes and rested, probably because he got angry when he saw Captain Kang.
Miao Lian had no hope, so Chang Ning had to rely on himself.
"Captain Kang, thank you for looking up to me, Chang Ning. But I promised my platoon leader before that I would realize his dream for him, and I'm still quite curious about the special forces, so I'm sorry."
"Okay, it's not sweet if you force yourself to do it, so I won't force you."
In fact, I am not sure whether I can recruit Captain Chang Ningkang.
Based on his understanding of Lao Miao, that guy was very good at leading troops, and all the soldiers he led were good.
If Chang Ning accepts his olive branch, although he will keep his promise, his feelings towards Chang Ning will not be too good.
Seeing that Chang Ning rejected him, Captain Kang felt a little frustrated. He quickly regained his composure and started caring about Miao Lian's health.
Chapter completed!
