Chapter 21: Mutual Utilization (I)

At night, Chu Tianjiang didn't do anything and lay on the bed to rest.

The accompanying medical staff thought of some methods, such as using some drugs that could synthesize lactic acid, to alleviate Chu Tianjiang's soreness. Because there are no conventional drugs that can speed up physical recovery, the use of illegal drugs such as stimulants will directly go out, so the only way to recover physical fitness is through rest.

Fortunately, the next day's assessment was not very demanding.

In the third assessment, because he was bound to be at the bottom, Chu Tianjiang listened to Zhang Xiaogang's suggestion, did not force it, and rationally admitted the reality.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang is a little unwilling.

Aldrich came in a surprise second, tied for first place with Halevy, with a 40-point lead. Because the next four assessments, namely equipment fighting, crossing obstacles, extreme endurance and tactical coordination, are more beneficial to the tall Western special forces, it is very difficult to catch up with the gap of 40 points. Aldridge's ability is very balanced, and there is a good chance of being the winner if he plays normally.

Chu Tianjiang didn't think it was a shame to lose to Aldrich, but he didn't want to lose.

In his life, he has never admitted defeat.

He hasn't lost since he was eighteen!

Twelve years ago, Chu Tianjiang's results in the national unified college entrance examination ranked first in the school. Although he is not the provincial champion, in the high school in the small county town of his hometown, his grades are already outstanding. Even if you can't go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, you can still enter key universities at the same level. What made everyone incomprehensible was that Chu Tianjiang did not go to college, but chose the military camp and became a volunteer soldier in the second year. He had a big argument with his parents over this, and his father threatened to sever the father-son relationship with him, and he chose to run away from home.

This choice is related to an experience he had when he was seven years old.

During the summer vacation of that year, Chu Tianjiang and four classmates went to swim in the river in the suburbs, and the river suddenly swelled, and all five of them were swept into the rapids. Seeing that they would be drowned, a soldier passing by nearby heard the cries for help and rescued the five people. Since then, Chu Tianjiang has dreamed of becoming a soldier.

Since then, whether it is a cold winter or a scorching heat, Chu Tianjiang has insisted on exercising. Even in the third year of high school, which was the most academically heavy, he insisted on running in the morning and running in the evening. Because exercise can exercise the body and is helpful for learning, Chu Tianjiang's parents didn't take it to heart and didn't guess their son's thoughts.

Chu Tianjiang insisted on exercising in order to realize his ideal of becoming a soldier one day.

After making this choice, Chu Tianjiang embarked on a different path in life.

Three years after joining the army, Chu Tianjiang not only obtained two bachelor's degrees by self-study, passed the sixth level of English in English, but also obtained the qualification to submit graduate students in the army. As long as he wants, he will go to university for three years, and after graduation, he will become a major officer, and he will be given the opportunity to serve for life.

For some soldiers whose families are relatively poor and have a certain degree of cultural knowledge, this is a bright road.

The problem is that long before joining the army, Chu Tianjiang was qualified to choose one of the ten best universities in the country and realize his college dream.

Chu Tianjiang did not enter the gate of the university, but participated in the special forces selection competition with an elimination rate of 90 percent.

What is even more surprising is that his target is the special forces directly under the General Staff, that is, the LTTE.

It is important to know that almost all of the special forces of the Tiger Brigade come from other special forces, such as the special forces of the armed police, and the worst ones also come from the reconnaissance units of the main group army. In addition, most of the special forces of the LTTE have been in the military for more than five years before joining.

When Chu Tianjiang applied for the Tiger Brigade, he had only served for three years, and he belonged to the technical and technical soldiers.

Of course, the status of a "technical soldier" is related to the two bachelor's degrees he has obtained, but it is only a professional title evaluation, and he does not serve in the technical and technical troops.

Among the more than 400 officers and soldiers who were referred to during the same period, Chu Tianjiang's results ranked first and he was admitted to the Tiger Brigade.

This choice once again changed Chu Tianjiang's fate.

Entering the Tiger Brigade, he met Wu Haiyuan, formed a life-and-death friendship with Wu Haiyuan, and became the best sniper in the team two years later.

Chu Tianjiang has never lost, as long as he works hard, he can always do his best.

If he were to lose, he would rather lose to Halevy, or Petanovic, than to Aldrich, who was close to Howard.

It was clear to everyone that Howard wanted Aldridge to be the winner of the ten Special Forces.

Chu Tianjiang is not stupid, it can be seen from the assessment items and sequence arrangement that Howard is obviously biased towards Aldrich, creating the best conditions for Aldrich. If the physical fitness assessment is placed at the bottom of the list, Chu Tianjiang has absolute certainty that he will surpass Aldrich in the overall score.

In addition, Aldrich must have known all the assessment items and sequences for a long time.

This guy is not the first in the first three individual events, but he ranks in the top three, and he obviously defeats other special forces through balanced play.

Chu Tianjiang was very unconvinced, if he competed fairly, Aldrich would definitely not be able to get the first place overall.

The more unconvinced, the more stubborn Chu Tianjiang became, and the more he wanted to make Howard's wishful thinking fail, so he would never admit defeat.

Zhang Xiaogang sent dinner, which was a nutritious meal specially prepared by the nutritionist for Chu Tianjiang.

The taste was terrible, or not at all, and I didn't even put much salt. Because it was helpful for recovering his physical strength, Chu Tianjiang ate it all.

"Looks like your appetite is pretty good."

"I've eaten anything worse than this." Chu Tianjiang threw the plate on the bedside table. "Four years ago in North Africa, Wu and I were in charge of rescuing a senior engineer who was trapped deep in the desert. This guy has a special identity, in charge of a secret military aid project, maybe someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau. It's a pity that we went a step late, and the US special forces arrived first. That guy was a tough guy who pulled a grenade before being captured alive by the U.S. military, and died with two U.S. special forces. Lao Wu and I arrived at a very bad time, and before we could do it, we were discovered by an unmanned reconnaissance plane of the US military. For the next 10 days, we were in the desert to avoid being chased by the US military. ”

"Dig up scorpions to eat?"

"It's good to have scorpions, scorpions are full of protein."

"And what do you eat?"

"When you run for your life, you only eat dry food. Thirteen days later, the U.S. military probably thought that we would starve to death or die of thirst in the desert after we ran out of ammunition and food, and did not pursue us again. ”

"And then?"

"At that time, I was almost starving to death. Using the dew collected at night, you can get some water, but there is no food in the desert. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you and Wu Haiyuan decided to draw lots."

"No, there is no need to draw lots. If we can get our partner to walk the desert alive, let alone cutting the flesh, we can dig out the heart, and we both think so. ”

"So, you can't do it?"

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "On the night of the fifteenth day, I decided to go out and try my luck. If I still don't find something to eat, I'll come back and cut my throat. Anyway, we will definitely not make it to the next night, and it is much better to die one than two. ”

"The problem is, Wu Haiyuan will think the same way."

"yes, thankfully I came back in time. If he had been five minutes late, Wu would have lost both of his parents within a year. ”

"Did you find something to eat?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "A camel that just died was probably abandoned by the nearby nomads, and the meat is still fresh. ”

"How fresh is it?"

"There are no maggots anyway."

"Maybe it's better to have maggots. That thing, which is notoriously delicious in Guangdong, is rich in protein, and is wrapped in flour and fried in oil, which tastes even better. ”

"It's good to eat it raw."

"You ate camel meat?"

"No, I've been hungry for more than ten days, and eating camel meat right away is looking for death."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled, of course he understood this truth. Even cooked meat is difficult to digest, and prolonged starvation can lead to weakened digestion. This is also the reason why when receiving assistance, the hungry people have to drink porridge for a few days and then eat high-nutrient food.

"We first drank urine from the camel's bladder and then ate the food scraps from the camel's stomach."

"How does it taste?"

"It's worse than the worst thing you can imagine, but in order to survive, you have to eat anything unless it's an instant poison."

"And then?"

"Two days later, after the strength was restored. We took dozens of pounds of air-dried camel meat and spent a month walking to Sudan on foot to find local intelligence officers. ”

"Gone?"

"Before we boarded the plane, we had a big meal in the restaurant at the airport."

"Finished with the story?"

"It's over."

"Rest early, and tomorrow will be the equipment fighting assessment."

"Isn't this resting?" Chu Tianjiang moved his buttocks. "If you go to bed so early, you will wake up in the middle of the night, and maybe you will have insomnia."

"Come on, do you want me to find a girl to accompany you?"

"You'll talk about it if you can find it."

"You kid doesn't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, I'm really going to find it, what do you say?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled, he knew that the stupidest thing to do was to make a bet with someone like Zhang Xiaogang. Besides, there are a lot of female soldiers in the US military base, and maybe there are also female agents sent by US intelligence agencies. With Zhang Xiaogang's ability, he may be able to find a beauty like Xiao Fangfang.

At this time, Luo Jinyong came back.

"Old Chu, how do you feel?"

"It's okay."

"The caviar tastes good and the vodka is authentic."

"And vodka?" Chu Tianjiang looked at Zhang Xiaogang.

"There are two bottles, but they're all gone." Zhang Xiaogang looked like a dead-skinned leprosy face. "You can't drink now, and when the assessment is over, I will invite you to drink authentic Erguotou."

"Come on, you don't think I've ever drunk Erguotou?"

"Moutai?"

"No, I can't. Counting that bottle of caviar, you now owe me $150,000. ”

"If you owe anything, I'll pay you back now." Zhang Xiaogang made the action of taking off his pants, and he looked like a complete ruffian.
