Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Chapter 99 Transition

"Captain Mo, you must be tired from the journey. It's a bit far to get to our camp."

"Captain Mo, welcome to our border defense camp."

When he arrived at the camp, Mo Dao met the battalion commander and the instructor, both of whom were lieutenant colonels.

The instructor seemed very warm, and the battalion commander did not show any displeasure to Mo Dao. He smiled and extended his hand to Mo Dao to express his welcome.

"I am the instructor of our border defense camp. This is the battalion commander, and this is the deputy battalion commander..."

"Hello, battalion commander, instructor, and deputy battalion commander. I am Mo Dao."

He saluted the battalion commander and others first, and then shook hands with the battalion commander's outstretched hand.

"Welcome, welcome...Captain Mo, are you hungry on the way?"

"It's just right. I just asked the canteen to cook two dishes. Let's eat together. We can eat and chat at the same time, which can be regarded as a welcome for you."

"Captain Mo, we will all be comrades in the trench from now on, so you don't have to be too polite."

The instructor and the battalion commander said one after another, and neither of them put on airs.

"Thank you, battalion commander, instructor, and deputy battalion commander."

Mo Dao did not refuse, and the group went to the cafeteria first.

...

In the cafeteria, it was already past dinner time.

Perhaps knowing what time Mo Dao would arrive,

when the group arrived at the cafeteria, a few simple dishes had been served on the table,

and according to the convention, Mo Dao was given another bowl of noodles.

This was the second time Mo Dao had eaten car noodles in the past two days,

but he did not refuse.

Waiting to sit down, the group ate a few bites of food and talked about some insignificant things.

The few people became more familiar with each other.

The instructor spoke again and introduced the border defense battalion and the military commanders to Mo Dao.

The border defense battalion belongs to a field brigade of the border military region.

Most of the battalions of the entire field brigade are stationed near the border line that the entire brigade is responsible for defending, in battalion units.

The main task is to guard the border line and guard against any possible invasion of our border by the Posuo country on the other side of the border line.

Once there is an invading enemy, we will give the most fierce counterattack.

At the same time, it also takes into account the handling of some possible problems such as illegal entry.

The border defense battalion where Mo Dao is now is the most powerful spearhead battalion in the entire brigade.

It has an honorary title of "Iron Blood Border Defense Battalion".

The titles of other places may be exaggerated. The honorary titles of the troops are basically exchanged for the blood of the soldiers and officers of the troops.

The border defense battalion guards a long border line from Hill 012 to Valley 039.

It is also a strategic zone for the entire brigade's garrison area.

According to the battalion instructor, once a war breaks out with the Posuo Kingdom, the first exchange of fire must occur in the area they are defending.

It is also because of this that the entire border defense battalion is in a state of combat readiness all year round.

In fact, the border area that the border defense battalion is responsible for has never been too peaceful.

In locations such as Valley 039, when the border defense battalion is on combat readiness patrol and duty, there is no obstruction or buffer between the soldiers of the Posuo Kingdom opposite.

There are frequent conflicts and frictions between the two sides, although because shooting is too sensitive, it rarely happens.

But "group fighting" happens almost every now and then.

When this was mentioned, the instructor and the battalion commander both restrained their smiles.

"Captain Mo, since you are here, you may need to be mentally prepared for some things."

"Although there has been no direct exchange of fire and war, casualties are common in our brigade and our battalion in some conflicts with the opposite side."

"I see."

Mo Dao nodded and just responded.

The instructor and the battalion commander looked at Mo Dao, and seeing that Mo Dao understood, they didn't say anything more.

Then, the battalion commander and others introduced themselves.

The battalion commander is Yan Yiguo, who is in his early forties. He was promoted from the most basic soldier to the current position step by step.

The instructor is Yu Qun, who is a few years younger than the battalion commander.

Another deputy battalion commander is Chen Demin, who is the same age as the battalion commander, but looks older.

The entire border defense battalion has a total of more than 800 people, which is a battalion with a large number of people.

It has a total of four companies and two platoons directly under the battalion.

However, the company commander was not there at this time, and he did not introduce himself to Mo Dao.

Finally,

The welcoming dinner came to an end, and the battalion commander and the instructor also talked about the arrangement for Mo Dao.

"Captain Mo, in theory, your rank and ability are more than enough to serve as a regular company-level position."

The instructor stopped talking beside him, and the battalion commander restrained his smile and said to Mo Dao solemnly.

Normally, graduates from the National University of Defense Technology start as platoon leaders.

But Mo Dao's problem is that his rank is too high...

If he were placed in some companies with lower company commanders, he might have a higher rank than the company commander.

"However, our special position and strategic tasks make it difficult for us to accept some minor problems caused by some adjustments."

"I need to be responsible for my soldiers."

The battalion commander became a little solemn.

Mo Dao did not say anything about this.

Assigning him here can be said to be a perfect match for Mo Dao's previous requirements. This is really the most front-line position.

But at the same time there is a problem.

Battalion Commander Yan Yiguo recognized Mo Dao's ability, but what he saw in Mo Dao's previous resume was, after all, exercises.

And now, this place is close to actual combat.

If Mo Dao is appointed as the company commander as soon as he comes, the combat effectiveness of a company will be affected during the adjustment process.

The border camp simply cannot bear it.

If there is turbulence during the adjustment, this thing will be fatal.

In other words, the error tolerance is very low.

"Captain Mo, I also consulted with the brigade headquarters about your arrangements, and finally came up with a compromise."

"Captain Mo, do you think it's okay?"

Battalion Commander Yan Yiguo spoke to Mo Dao in a consultative tone,

"Battal Commander, please speak."

"The position of platoon commander of the first platoon of our battalion's fourth company is vacant. In addition, the position of instructor of the fourth company is also vacant."

"Comrade Mo Dao, do you think it's okay for you to serve as the instructor of the fourth company and also the platoon leader of the first platoon?"

Yan Yiguo revealed the arrangement for Mo Dao.

This arrangement actually shows that Yan Yiguo and others recognize Mo Dao.

Strictly speaking, the company instructor is at the same level as the company commander and is a company-level position.

But he was not the chief military officer... and Mo Dao was also given the post of platoon leader.

It can be said that he has great trust in Mo Dao, but he is worried that Mo Dao has just left the army, so he cannot hand over the entire company to him directly.

Just do this,

Can the commander of the fourth company agree?

and,

Yan Yiguo hasn't finished speaking yet.

Put some more smiles on the serious face,

"It just so happens that the commander of the fourth company will be promoted to another unit in the near future. Before the commander of the fourth company leaves, why don't you ask the fourth company commander for advice and get familiar with the situation in the company, so that you can manage the company when the time comes? ”

Speaking of which, it's actually quite straightforward.

Maybe he was also afraid that Mo Dao would really have a grudge.

In fact, this was because the position of commander of the fourth company was originally going to be given to Mo Dao.

However, I hope Mo Dao will transition to the position of instructor for a few months.

"Thank you, battalion commander."

Mo Dao responded directly.

"Hey, don't think our camp is treating you badly."

The battalion commander said with a smile again.

"Then I'll ask the battalion officer to take you to the fourth company."

"No need to call Director Yu, I'll take Mo Dao there."

The instructor stood up and took the initiative to take over the job.

The battalion commander nodded and agreed.
