The headquarters of the Long Formation was built in the suburbs, covering an astonishing area. The hard facilities had also cost a lot of money. Not only was the front yard spacious, but there was also an endless "combat zone" at the back. Whether it was in the forest or on flat ground, there were specific areas. These places were the "private" territory of the Long Formation. The outside world was not allowed to touch them.
When Xiao Zheng came to the training room, more than 30 well-trained Long Formation soldiers stood in the center of the field. They looked good, but they lacked fighting spirit. They were like castrated roosters, which was depressing.
Xiao Zheng knew the deputy captain who led the team. He had dealt with him several times before. His name was Qian Sun. He could be considered one of Jiang Qing's confidants. This time, he was arranged to stay by Xiao Zheng's side, which was a mercy beyond the law, giving him a useful talent. As for the rest of the Long Formation soldiers …
It was polite to call them "old, weak, sick, and disabled"!
Their average age was above 35 years old. Some were even over 40 years old.
At this age, even in an ordinary military region, they would at least be in the management. They were not frontline soldiers on the battlefield.
Xiao Zheng only took a glance and knew that General Qi and Jiang Qing were up to no good.
"Good day, Instructor!" Everyone shouted in unison. It was neither neat nor imposing.
"Mm." Xiao Zheng nodded. He didn't have the attitude of a newly appointed official making changes. He pressed his hands and then gave Qian Sun a look. "Everyone, take a break for 15 minutes."
Qian Sun understood and immediately followed Xiao Zheng out of the training room.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zheng stared at Qian Sun. "Is your Captain Jiang messing with me?"
Qian Sun smiled bitterly and said straightforwardly, "The previous autumn maneuvers have always been a confrontation between the two armies. One team was built by each military region. The other team was built by the Long Formation. This year, General Qi named three teams for a free-for-all. So, General Qi and Captain Jiang jointly recommended you. The leaders of each military region have no objection. "
"I have no problem with the recommendation. Why did you send a bunch of old and weak people like me? "Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
He didn't mean to look down on these veterans. Aging, sickness, and death were the norm. No one could avoid it. What puzzled her was that since it was a battle of the strongest in the army, and the opponents were all elite generals and well-trained top-notch warriors, why did they send her a group of veterans whose physical strength had seriously deteriorated?
Could it be that General Qi really wanted to laugh at him?
Or perhaps, he had really become a green leaf, used to set off those two delicate red flowers?
If that was the case, Xiao Zheng would lead the entire army to commit suicide at the very beginning of the battle!
He put on a shocking show and completed his mission beyond expectations.
"General Qi said he wanted to test you …" Qian Sun explained awkwardly. "They said that Instructor Xiao has the ability to turn something rotten into something magical …"
Xiao Zheng stared at Qian Sun. "Even you can't convince him, right?"
"Uh …" Qian Sun rubbed his nose. "I'm just following orders."
"Do I look like a pushover?" Xiao Zheng's face darkened as he asked sternly.
"I wouldn't dare!" Qian Sun immediately straightened his back.
Xiao Zheng breathed out a mouthful of turbid air, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "Go in."
After saying that, he walked straight into the training room. Standing with his hands behind his back, he calmly scanned the crowd. It seemed casual, but it made everyone feel as if he had seen through their souls.
The mental power of a Level Eight Elite was not something that ordinary people could resist. Even this group of well-trained Long Formation Warriors could not resist it.
"When Captain Jiang told me that I was going to lead a group of old and weak people into the battlefield. I was prepared for the worst, "Xiao Zheng said lightly. While provoking the veterans, he also viciously slandered Jiang Qing.
Just as expected. The words "old and weak" immediately caused an uproar.
"I was one of the top three seeded fighters in the 10,000 Years Army!"
"Old and weak? I can eat five bowls of rice now. I can drink one liter of Shaodazi! "
"Lian Po is old, but he can still eat!"
Xiao Zheng waved his hand, interrupting the angry veterans.
"Tomorrow, we will be facing the most powerful Special Forces in the army. We are not participating in the Big Eater, "Xiao Zheng said with a helpless expression. "In addition, I can also drink three to four liters of Shaodazi. That doesn't prove anything. "
Xiao Zheng's words suppressed the group of very dissatisfied veterans.
"Qian Sun, report the specific situation," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I think everyone is the same as me, not very clear about the specific details of this exercise."
"Yes," Qian Sun nodded and said cautiously. "There are a total of three teams in this exercise. Apart from us, the other two teams are from the elite team led by Captain Jiang. And the special forces selected by each military region to form a special force. The captain of the special force is Wei Jiang. "
Whoosh!
The crowd exclaimed.
Who was Wei Jiang?
A tactical expert in the army. Even General Qi appreciated him. He hoped to recruit this person. However, Wei Jiang's chief was an old friend of General Qi. He never got what he wanted.
When Xiao Zheng was serving in the Long Live Army, this person had become famous. He amazed the world in many actual combat exercises. He was highly regarded. However, Wei Jiang served in the White City military region. Xiao Zheng was serving in the Long Live Army. Therefore, he never got to see him.
"In the previous autumn exercises, the Long Formation was always better. They suppressed the Special Forces. This year, Wei Jiang was in charge to suppress the arrogance of our Long Formation. He broke our ten consecutive championships, "Qian Sun said helplessly.
The veterans' arrogance was even weaker after he said that.
Although they were soldiers of the Long Formation. They were also from each military region. Speaking of which, the Long Formation was better. However, compared to the group of players who were in peak condition. It was hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker.
Xiao Zheng listened calmly to Qian Sun's introduction. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you going to retire soon?"
That one sentence was like a bomb that ruthlessly exploded that dusty heart.
"I'm three months away from completing my service. After that, I should stay in the Long Formation as a second-level position, "a veteran said.
The first-level position of the Long Formation. It was held by the Long Formation elites led by Jiang Qing. After all, the Long Formation was a combat force. Except for a small number of management, logistics, and clerical jobs, some of the Long Formation soldiers would choose to transfer. Or they would enter the local military and political departments.
Most of those who stayed in the Long Formation and continued to serve had feelings for the Long Formation.
But as a combat force, General Qi couldn't take in all the Long Formation soldiers who had retired from the front line. That would make the organization more and more bloated and difficult to control. It didn't conform to the original intention of the Long Formation.
"I might transfer. I'll go into the sea to do some small business, "a simple and honest middle-aged veteran said. "I won't cause trouble for the troops and hold them back."
"I've discussed it with General Qi. I'm going to be a chef in the cafeteria after I retire from the front line. I learned cooking for a few years before I joined the army, "another veteran with a northern accent said with a grin.
They talked about trivial things. But in the trivial things, there was a sad factor.
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, and his face was especially hard. "Veterans don't die, they will only wither. I'll fight with you in this battle. "
