They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 239 A different kind of youth, striving to build a strong army and living up to one’s youth
Group Army No. [-] Military Exercise Field, after the confrontation between the fifth battalion and the first battalion.

Two days later, Chen Ming received a notice from the brigade headquarters, which arranged for him to attend the training ceremony for new recruits at the No. [-] martial arts training ground.

Early in the morning.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion had just finished breakfast and engaged in daily training. Kong Wu, the clerk of the staff department, hurried to the brigade headquarters parking lot and drove his car downstairs to the dormitory.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei and instructor Zhang Jintao stood downstairs with arms crossed and smiles, looking at Chen Ming who had just come out of the dormitory.

In the past, when attending the training opening ceremony, Chen Ming, as a role model specially arranged by the above, was dressed very handsomely, in decent uniform, with first-class, second-class, and third-class military medals hanging on his chest.

Majestic without losing solemnity.

"Well, this outfit is good. It will definitely impress the new recruits there." Du Longfei touched his chin and commented with a smile.

"It's true, Lao Chen. Have you brought everything you need to bring? Hurry up and set off. This place is not close to the No. [-] martial arts training ground. The training ceremony will be held this morning. Have you prepared your speeches and everything?"

"If you are not prepared, you can print a copy now." Instructor Zhang Jintao helped open the car door.

The other battalions of the 169th brigade arranged for people to go to the training center. The fifth battalion was newly formed and did not need to be arranged. The two of them were free.

"No need, just improvise on the spot." Chen Ming lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and said happily: "Being a role model means standing there for people to see, and you don't host the ceremony, so you shouldn't need a speech."

"Then battalion commander, instructor, I'll go over first."

"Go." The two waved.

Chen Ming nodded, sat in the back seat, and the vehicle roared away. He made arrangements to attend the training of new recruits. The political commissar of the brigade had informed him in advance a month ago.

The training center is a large place with a large number of people. It has been two days since the new comrades entered the camp. The group army has been responsible for training new recruits for a long time, which takes half a year. It will not be as fast as the artillery brigade.

In addition, in recent years, military training has been promoted to be scientific, and the bullying in the military camp has been strictly investigated. In the first two days, there was basically no training, just cleaning and pulling weeds.

Veterans and new comrades are familiar with each other. The monitors of each class use the time before the start of training to have in-depth communication with the recruits in the class, establish an amiable image, and learn more about their thoughts and needs from the recruits' mouths.

To avoid any problems after the training starts, make all preparations in advance.

It would be slightly better than each brigade training on their own.

Of course, in these two days of training camp, everyone will be amiable and approachable.

Once the training ceremony is over and the basics are clear, it will be life-threatening training, training with your arms free.

The drive from the Fifth Battalion Camp to the Recruit Training Center took about four and 10 minutes. The road was boring. Chen Ming sat in the car and looked out the window at the poplar trees that had grown young leaves. The fresh air made him feel happy.

This was the second time he went to the No. [-] martial arts training ground. He recalled that the first time he went there was to participate in the recruitment competition in the name of the Second Recruit Brigade of the Artillery Brigade.

It was that time that laid the foundation for his military career. Along the way, there were hardships, gains, and of course more responsibilities.

He is no longer the recruit who wanted to wear triangular leather shoes and straps on his shoulders.

I don’t know since when, other people’s titles for him gradually changed from “new soldier Danzi” and “new comrade” to “Old Chen”, “Chief”, “Team Chen”, and “Staff Chen”.

Looking back at the past, I am filled with emotion!

"Counsel Chen, we're here." Kong Wu reminded, bringing Chen Ming's thoughts back to reality.

Military District No. [-] Martial Arts Field and Recruit Training Center have arrived.

The vehicle drove into the gate, and the red banner for the training ceremony was hung high on the military parade platform in the distance. Comrades from the Joint Logistics Department were adjusting the sound on the stage. The 169th Brigade, as a mixed brigade, presided over the training ceremony. The training ceremony was well prepared. style.

In the open space on both sides of the parade platform, 99A main battle tanks and 04A infantry fighting vehicles were parked in diagonal rows, showing their dominance.

There are six helicopters on standby in the distance.

Chen Ming came down from the parking lot, looked at the surrounding layout, and laughed. These brigades were responsible for bringing in new soldiers, and they were quite large.

When he came to recruit soldiers in the fall, the Industrial and Chemical Brigade took over the recruit training center. During the competition, the venue was not so luxurious.

Today is just a training ceremony, so the scene is so big.

"Chen Ming?! Is it really you?"

Chai Shuyao ran over from the back row of the parking lot in surprise, her beautiful eyes were smiling, as if she was in this familiar place, and it was a joy to see familiar people again.

"Captain Chai, hello." Chen Ming greeted with a hint of surprise. He was not surprised to meet Chai Shuyao on such an occasion.

The officer of the Cultural Propaganda Department of the war zone is always busy and reporting wherever he goes. However, we haven't seen him for more than a month. Chai Shuyao's military rank has been promoted from lieutenant during the Chinese New Year to captain.

"Haha, hello." Chai Shuyao responded with a smile, looking at Chen Ming from head to toe.

Especially when he stared at the military medal on his chest, his eyes couldn't hide the joy.

"You are dressed very handsomely today. Are you going to go on stage to speak on behalf of the army later? I heard that during the recruitment campaign in the Eastern Theater Command, many of the short films I shot in the past were used as material to build you into a soldier who writes pens and forges swords. typical."

"I thought you wouldn't come over today to maintain the hero's mystique."

"I was notified only a month ago." Chen Ming spread his hands. He really didn't know how to promote the war zone. As for arranging to attend the training ceremony, this was probably the 169th Brigade's own decision.

Someone mentioned it at the military region meeting, and the political commissar of the brigade headquarters took advantage of the situation and brought him over to serve as one of today's spokespersons.

"Well, I just saw you from behind. Come over and say hello. You are busy first. Let's chat when we have time. I'm going to keep an eye on the shooting arrangements."

"The ceremony is about to begin. You go to the military parade to gather. I just saw that the leader of your brigade has arrived."

After a brief greeting, Chai Shuyao hurriedly ran away waving her little hands. The training ceremony for new recruits was also the best material to shoot. As an officer of the Information Department, she had to preside over this full-scale shooting.

Chen Ming glanced behind him a few times, and indeed saw many propaganda comrades tinkering with cameras there, and a few others testing drones and preparing to shoot.

The area of ​​​​the martial arts arena is too large. This place is 18 square meters, which is almost half the area of ​​Tianmen Square in Kyoto.

This is still a planned route and training area. If you add in the unplanned area extending from the periphery, it will definitely be as big as half the square.

On the path leading from the parade platform to the dormitory area, one group after another of new recruits, organized into companies, were ready to go, with the vanguard holding flags fluttering in the wind.

The team hasn't even gathered yet, but it already looks quite large.

Perhaps influenced by the environment, Chen Ming unknowingly adjusted his clothes and strode through the open space in the middle to the vicinity of the military parade.

Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the 169th Brigade, was directing the surrounding arrangements. When he saw Chen Ming slowly walking over, he raised his head and cursed with a smile: "Come on, come on, come on, you kid, I don't want you to be a typical example."

"The ceremony is about to begin, are you ready?"

"Ready." Chen Ming responded confidently.

"Are you really ready?" Xu Wenqian stared at Chen Ming's empty hands. Apart from the neatly dressed military uniform and the neatly hung military medals, Xu Wenqian held nothing in his hands.

He shook his head and looked at the time and said: "I will preside over the opening of the training later. You will take the stage to speak on behalf of the people. You should speak for at least 3 minutes. Every company, battalion, and regiment will use you as a benchmark for this year's training to cultivate new benchmarks."

"Just don't lose your temper. Let's improvise on the spot later. Choose some exciting words to speak to mobilize the new comrades' enthusiasm for training."

"Soldiers will enter in five minutes. Please think more about what to say later."

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Chen Ming raised his hand and saluted, accepting this special task.

It's really not difficult for him to hold a conference. He is so familiar that he can pick it up easily, at least he won't be at a loss for words.

Time passed little by little.

As the drone of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda began to take off, comrades from the Taiwan Joint Logistics Department retreated, and several helicopter pilots were in place around them.

The training ceremony officially began.

The loud military songs resounded throughout the martial arts field, and recruits who had already been in place from all directions began to enter.

Step on.
Countless voices instantly surrounded the entire parade platform, and soldiers holding flags poured out one after another.Chen Ming stood on the edge of the parade platform and watched, his eyes flickering slightly. Even though these were new recruits, their formation was not standard, their pace was not consistent, and even the formation was a little crooked.

But there are so many people. The 21 to [-] new recruits have already changed into Type [-] combat training uniforms this year. Many veterans from the units have not yet changed their uniforms. The new uniforms and new look make people excited.

"one two three four."

"one two three four."

Step on.
As the first team entered the stage, standing in the open space in front of the stage, more and more teams appeared from behind, with a majestic momentum, like mountains lined up, like thousands of horses galloping.

"Report, the regiment, battalion and company of the recruit training center are in place."

"Report, the [-]st Regiment, [-]st Battalion and [-]nd Company of the Recruit Training Center are in place."

"Report, the Recruit Training Center's [-]st Regiment, [-]st Battalion and [-]rd Company are in place."

~~~~~
Every time a company arrives, the veteran leading the team will wave a flag and report loudly.

The recruit comrades behind him stood still, their hopeful eyes always looking at the stage.

The roaring reports and sonorous and powerful voices all show the soldiers' love for the military camp and their love for the motherland.

After the military song was played, the open space in front of the military parade was already filled with dense crowds. Sheng flags were flying. Faces full of youth were looking at the military parade stage and the flying military flags on the stage.

Xu Wenqian strode to the stage, adjusted the loudspeaker slightly, glanced at the queue in the distance, and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, welcome to our 71st Army Recruit Training Camp in the Eastern Theater Zone."

"I am the veteran responsible for leading you this time. Your squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander, like me, are all veterans who will lead you next."

"Comrades, it is a sacred duty entrusted to us by national law for young people of appropriate age to enlist in the army and participate in carrying guns to defend our homeland and the country, and it is also our honorable obligation."

"Today, for the sake of the tranquility of the motherland and the happiness of the people, you actively responded to the call of the motherland and the people, enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and determined to realize the value of your life in the glorious position of defending the motherland. On behalf of the army and the people, I stand for your glory. I feel very proud and extremely proud of my choice.”

"Comrades, our People's Army is a melting pot for honing good will and cultivating defenders and builders of the motherland. Our universities are the Great Steel Wall for safeguarding national sovereignty and safeguarding national security."

"I hope that after you come here, you will be strict with yourself, actively and proactively accept systematic military and political study and training, comprehensively enhance your ability to defend the motherland, and strive to cultivate yourself into a new generation of qualified soldiers with political qualifications, military excellence, strict discipline, and good work style. "

"Strive for more honors for yourself and the elders in your hometown, make more new achievements, and never let down the expectations of the motherland and the people under any circumstances, withstand the test of all kinds of storms, and successfully complete the sacred mission entrusted by the motherland and the people. "

"Comrades, are you ready?"

"Yes!!"

The roaring response echoed through the entire martial arts arena. Perhaps many of the new comrades do not know how heavy the burden is on their shoulders now, nor do they know what to do to become a qualified soldier.

But at this moment, their responses, their ideals, are the same.

"Okay, I announce that this year's 71st Army recruit training has officially begun."

Boom boom boom! ! !
Buzz! ! !
As Xu Wenqian announced the start of the ceremony, helicopters on both sides began to take off. Under the fuselage, red banners were floating in the sky in the wind.

Rows of salutes from the Joint Service Department on the periphery were aimed at high altitude and fired continuously. Team after team composed of non-commissioned officers of the 169th Brigade marched in neat steps and entered from both sides of the parade platform.

When the two teams meet.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The ear-splitting shouts of killing, combined with the assassination exercises, began to demonstrate the abilities of the veterans.

A variety of difficult and novel movements for new comrades were demonstrated, attracting everyone's attention.

Surrounded by 99A main battle tanks and 04A infantry fighting vehicles, one after another passed in front of the queue. The rumbling sound made some recruits stunned and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

There were also some less courageous recruits who were so shocked that they covered their eyes when they saw tanks and infantry fighting vehicles passing by the veterans who were demonstrating assassination exercises.

Such a big man, activated at close range, is really too shocking for people to face directly.

It was no less oppressive than a tall building collapsing in front of them, causing the team of thousands of people to take a step back.

But there was more excitement and yearning in their eyes.

Xu Wenqian saw that the training ceremony he had arranged was almost in progress, waved to Chen Ming, picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Comrades, do you know him?"

The sound caught the new comrade's attention.

Thousands of people all looked towards the stage.

Before they could respond, Xu Wenqian said loudly again: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me. I'll introduce it to you."

"He is Chen Ming. Two years ago, during the autumn recruitment, he joined the army with the same love for the military camp and the love for the motherland."

"Like you, he first arrived in the army and didn't understand many things. Through being down-to-earth, he established a foothold in the army step by step. He started from third-class merit, second-class merit, first-class merit, and went all the way to where he is now."

"Now, do you want to get to know him?"

"think!!!"

A group of recruits in the audience shouted. Many people did not notice the distance just now.

But with the introduction, they recognized that Chen Ming was the person who signed up to watch the videos in the Armed Forces Ministry. They watched the videos every day during pre-service training, and Chen Ming's figure appeared most often.

From a recruit, to a private, to a second lieutenant, and then to a captain, every stage is recorded with images.

Facing the slightly fiery gazes of the new comrades in the audience, Chen Ming took the microphone from Xu Wenqian and said with a smile: "Hello, comrades, my name is Chen Ming. Just like everyone else, there is nothing special about me."

"I know that many comrades may be a little nervous when they first arrive in the military camp and don't know what to do next. I was the same at the beginning. I still remember that when I first came to the military camp, a comrade told me that his family pushed him to join the army. , and some comrades came here to save their retirement fees, because they can save money in the army."

"Haha." Many recruits in the queue laughed. Obviously, Chen Ming's straightforwardness made many people think correctly.

It also instantly shortened the distance between him and these new comrades. He was no longer an image in the image that could only be seen but not touched.

"There are also some comrades who say they want to come to the army to practice and practice. It doesn't matter. No matter why we come to the military camp, as long as we come, we are good."

"Comrades, don't be afraid, don't worry. Just remember one sentence, obey the orders and listen to the command. I also trained and studied with the squad leader, step by step from a new recruit to a practicing veteran. Listen to the squad leader, and it is always right. .”

"The squad leader will guide you, and the squad leader will protect you. One day, you will grow into a veteran like the squad leader. Remember to pass on the tradition and help more recruits."

Clap clap! ! ! !

As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, a group of squad leaders took the lead in applauding, and the recruits followed suit.

Many new recruits who were a little confused when they first arrived at the military camp gradually let go of their worries because of Chen Ming's few words.

"Comrades, the state has a world-shaking recipe, and the army has high prestige. We are all a new generation of soldiers. Soldiers are the ideals of youth, learning is the new force, and the army is the Great Wall of Steel."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The grand blueprint becomes reality. The key lies in action, which is fundamentally based on implementation. We must always strengthen our confidence and muster our energy. Only by fighting against every second and working hard and fast can we truly be hardened into steel. , create greater glories.”

"Comrades, standing here is standing at a new starting point in life. From now on, we will hold the sword to defend the mountains and rivers. There is a mission called the stars and the sea, the homeland and the world. There is a posture called using dreams as horses and moving forward bravely. There is a kind of youth called struggle. A strong army will live up to our time."

"The most proud thing in life is that when the motherland calls, we are young. Comrades, we set sail today. To strengthen the army and rejuvenate the country, it is now."

"Come on, comrades!"

"come on, come on, come on!!!"

A louder shout shook the sky, and the training ceremony for new recruits officially began.

Representative Chen Ming's speech did not have impassioned words, but it resonated more with the new comrades.

One by one chanted slogans to contribute to a strong army.
