Hu Bing was a new recruit. Because of his outstanding physical fitness and strength, he was transferred to the Special Ops Division as soon as he entered the military to replace the Three Swordsmen. It could be said that half of the team's hopes were placed on him, and he also withstood the pressure. He had always prided himself as the 'Big Brother' of the Special Ops Division, and even many veterans of Xu Cheng's generation weren't as good as him. In terms of training resources, he was specially trained by the instructors to be different from the others, and he didn't disappoint them. His strength was steadily improving, and he was a very good seedling. It was said that this competition was going to revolve around him, and he also became the focus of everyone's attention and potential captain.
However, at this critical juncture, an unexpected person actually came back. That's right, it was Xu Cheng.
According to seniority and experience, if Xu Cheng was here to participate in this competition, then he was the candidate for captain. This was an indisputable fact, because as someone who used to be the backbone of the team, even if his strength had declined, his experience was still there. Any coach would choose a more reliable veteran to lead the team.
That was why others said that Hu Bing's captain position and resources were going to be taken away.
Hu Bing didn't care who the captain was, but he cared a lot about the originally planned strategy. If it was canceled, then he would definitely be very unhappy. If he could really prove himself this time, then he would definitely be the one to shine. Even if he didn't get a good ranking, his reputation would still spread, and there would be units that would try to recruit him after he retired from the military. This was what he valued the most. To put it bluntly, everyone was selfish, and there was nothing wrong with building a good future for yourself.
The military, the government, and society were a kind of industrial chain. As long as you shone during your military service, you could be transferred to other positions in the country in advance. Even if you retired after your military service was over, there would still be private units or bosses that would hire you as a bodyguard with a high salary. In fact, why did a lot of private company bosses only look for people in the military and not martial arts champions? It was because the contestants in those competitions were usually controlled by the capitalists. To put it bluntly, they were just there to please the public, and they didn't have any actual combat experience or foundation. Only the individual soldiers that were baptized in the military could be the guarantee of their lives.
So, with Xu Cheng's appearance threatening Hu Bing's plan, it would be strange if he wasn't happy.
The instructor told the new and old soldiers of the special warfare division to calm down before taking Xu Cheng to get food. Then, the instructor intentionally introduced Xu Cheng to Hu Bing. He dragged him to Hu Bing's table and said with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you. This is the rookie representative of our military region after your Three Swordsmen, Hu Bing!"
Xu Cheng smiled and looked at Hu Bing. Normally, at this time, the rookies would salute, and then the veterans would return the salute. However, the awkward thing was, Hu Bing pretended to be eating and didn't get up to salute, which made the other veterans of Xu Cheng's generation nudge Hu Bing a little.
Hu Bing unwillingly stood up and saluted. "Hello, Captain Xu Cheng."
"Hello." Xu Cheng saluted in response.
The other veterans knew Xu Cheng and had a good relationship with him. Seeing Hu Bing's attitude, they didn't hide anything and directly scolded, "What's with your attitude? Salute with both feet together. Do you need me to remind you? "
"Forget it, Old Su." Xu Cheng waved his hand. "Let's eat, let's eat."
He didn't want to be disappointed right after coming back. Sometimes, Xu Cheng was a relatively easy person to satisfy. Because he didn't have parents anymore, many times, he would try his best to cherish the things that he cherished. It didn't matter if he just went with the flow, as long as no one offended him, he would be kind to everyone.
The instructor knew why Hu Bing was so emotional. He shook his head and didn't say anything. Then, he sat down and ate with the other soldiers.
"Too bad Luo Yi and Li Wei aren't here anymore, or else the era of the Three Swordsmen could be recreated," a veteran sighed.
Another veteran laughed and said, "Are you sure they're not the Three Swordsmen? Every time I pass by their dorm, I can smell the stench. "
These words made a bunch of veterans with stories and experiences laugh out loud.
At this moment, Hu Bing vaguely said, "Isn't the Three Swordsmen only 28th?"
His comrade, who was also a recruit, tugged at Hu Bing's shirt. He was a little surprised that Hu Bing would suddenly say something like that.
"What are you talking about!" The other veterans were unhappy.
"That's enough." Xu Cheng interrupted their bickering as he stuffed a mouthful of braised pork into his mouth. Then, he lowered his head and said with a bit of disappointment, "There's really no need to brag. In the entire military region, no one knows who the Three Swordsmen are."
"As long as we know!" A veteran slammed the table. "We don't even have a sense of belonging in our own camp, how can we be like comrades? Every year, we didn't make it into the top 20, but with the characteristics of our military region, it's already something to be proud of to be able to make it into the 22nd place! "
"Yeah, only those who experienced that period would know how unforgettable it was. Don't think too highly of yourself if you haven't participated in a competition. There are a total of 36 teams out of 1.8 million soldiers in the country, and each team has 15 people. How many top-notch masters and great teamwork does that represent? That kind of competition is full of elites, it's not a game in our military region. Only when you participate and know how difficult it is will you know if it's worth bragging or not! " The other veterans glanced at Hu Bing and said sarcastically. Recruits these days were really too proud.
"Okay, shut up." The head instructor glared at the two of them.
Hu Bing slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up, and asked the head instructor, "Head Instructor, you only picked 14 people and left one spot for Captain Xu Cheng, right?"
"He's qualified to be on the list." The other veterans snorted.
"Then are you still going to carry out the strategy that revolves around me?" Hu Bing asked again.
"This …" The head instructor looked at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng lightly laughed and answered for the head instructor, "Don't worry, you are still the metronome of the team."
Hu Bing's other recruits heard this and felt that Captain Xu Cheng had already put it this way, so they pulled him back and signaled him to stop. Who knew that Hu Bing would say, "Since we are going to revolve around me to carry out the strategy, then before we get to know Captain Xu Cheng's strength, there's no place for him on the list."
"Hu Bing!" A few veterans really couldn't take it anymore. They slammed the table, stood up, and shouted at Hu Bing, "A little brat like you dares to question Captain Xu Cheng?"
Hu Bing said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "I think everyone knows why Captain Xu Cheng left. He's not strong enough! If that's the case, then what's the point of adding him in? Captain Xia Hai, you said it yourself, this is an elite team of 15 people, and one less person is equivalent to losing a big helping hand. So, everyone's strength has to be measured carefully. "
The head instructor was also angry. "Hu Bing, no matter what, Xu Cheng is on the list. The list has already been submitted, and there's no way to change it, okay?"
Hu Bing directly threw down a sentence. "Then I definitely don't want him to train with us."
Then, he directly left.
The head instructor was furious. "This little bastard knows that our military region is relying on him for this year's competition, he's getting a bit cocky!"
