Chapter 10 The Great Contest of Recruits
Time goes on, who can stay. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info With a three-year appointment with Xi Rui, I am about to step into the barracks.
At eight o'clock in the morning, an Audi SUV with a license plate obscured pulled up to the downstairs of my house, and I knew that it was the person who picked me up. The person who came didn't say much, but told me that Team Leader Li asked him to pick me up, and then handed me a stack of documents to my family, saying that I could not be contacted directly in the future, and that everything should be contacted by the troops first, and that there were detailed records of contact methods in the documents, as well as some ways to deal with urgent problems. Finally, I also told my family to keep the documents confidential. After saying goodbye to my family, I followed them into the car. I didn't bring any luggage, except for a photo of Cirry. On the back of the photo, I wrote "August 16, 2010" in a pen.
The recruits I have seen before enlist in the army with big red flowers, take a special train to the army, and look at the envious eyes of the masses along the way, and feel extremely honored. And I could only set off in an off-road vehicle with a blocked license plate number, as if I was afraid of being discovered, without a big red flower and no sense of honor. But none of this matters to me, I'm just worried about whether I can get together with Xirui as promised. Originally, I just wanted to be an ordinary recruit and be discharged after two years of military service. But now, everything has become uncertain, and when I was called into the special forces, Team Leader Li had already told me that when I became a special forces, the service time was no longer a fixed number. Team Leader Lee did not explain why he said this. Still, I have a rough idea of why.
Looking at everything familiar outside the car window, there are still a lot of ups and downs in my heart. The ancients said: 'A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns in ten years.' This parting may really take ten years to return. About two hours later, the car stopped, and looking out the window, two sentries stood solemnly with submachine guns in hand. It's not going to be so soon, I thought to myself. The sentry checked the documents and put our car in.
"Get out of the car, it's here." The driver, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Is it to the troops?" I asked him.
"This is the Guiyang City Armed Police Detachment, you gather here, and someone will come to pick you up after dinner. Come with me! With that, he turned and walked away.
I didn't ask any more questions, just followed him.
It didn't take long for us to come to what was supposed to be a conference hall, and he pointed to a spot and motioned for me to sit down. Then he walked over to a man in military uniform. Ten minutes later, the small conference hall was full. The man in military uniform stood up and spoke: "Everyone, I am your instructor for the next three months, and from now on, you will obey me unconditionally. Now everyone goes to the cafeteria to eat. With that, he got up and left.
Simple, crude, but commanding. There is no way, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, after all, he has to obey his orders for the next three months, so no one will provoke him without knowing what to do, and they all obediently follow him.
"It's 10:30 and you have fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes later, gather in the conference room just now, there is a watch on the wall, and you can watch the time by yourself. With that, the instructor in military uniform turned around and left.
There was no one else in the cafeteria, except for us, the recruits, and the staff. Maybe I didn't get the meal. Fifteen minutes is a lot of time for me, because I usually eat faster. I tried to finish all the food on the plate as much as I could, after all, this is a soldier, and wasting food will be punished, although I am not a soldier in the real sense of the word, but I have to cultivate it from the beginning. Ten minutes later, I had finished eating, and I had to walk three minutes from the cafeteria to the conference room, so I had two minutes to rest. In the future, every minute may be important in the military. Five minutes later, everyone was in the conference hall.
"Now each of you has a full set of training clothes on the table in front of you, including combat boots. Turn left and the third room is the locker room, where you'll have five minutes to change into your training suit. I will send each of you a bag and put all your belongings in it, and I will send them back to your home without any money, mobile phones, or even ID cards. I hope you don't have any luck and sneak anything. After speaking, the instructor looked at his watch: "It's 10:50, come back in 5 minutes to gather." ”
I had long expected that the management of the troops would be very strict, so when I set off, I didn't bring anything, only the only photo I couldn't put in Xirui. I struggled with whether or not to send this picture home, after all, it was important to me, but the army had its own rules. Five minutes later, everyone was back in the chamber.
"Put all your clothes on the table, and give each of them a bag and a pen." The instructor said to the person next to him. "Put all your belongings in a bag, write your name on the bag, just write your name, and nothing else."
"Gu Cheng, why is your bag empty?" The instructor came over to me and asked.
"Report, I didn't bring any belongings." I replied.
"I hope that's the truth because I don't want someone to be out on the first day." With that, he turned and left.
Someone out? I wondered why the instructor would say that.
"At 11:15 a.m., a helicopter will come to pick you up, and the man on my left will follow the commander." The instructor pointed to the man in a black suit by the door. "The man on my right hand will follow me."
So, I followed the instructor out of the conference hall. It didn't take long for the helicopter to land in front of our eyes.
"Before you get on the plane, someone will search your body, and if you find that there is an entrainment, then you will be directly out. After you get on the plane, you will be given an eye patch, and I will order you to wear an eye patch after the plane takes off. ”
Fortunately, a photo was not so easy to find, and everyone and I boarded the plane without any problems. The instructor gave everyone a blindfold, but we were not ordered to wear them.
"The reason why I let you enlist in advance is because the army decided to let your newly recruited special forces have a big competition. I think you know why you can go straight to the special forces without training. I think that some of you are not qualified to be special forces, and the leaders of the troops also have this idea, so they decided to hold a big competition to eliminate those who are not suitable for special forces. Those who are eliminated will be admitted to the boot camp and become a normal soldier. ”
I didn't expect that I would face the risk of being eliminated as soon as I entered the army, and it seems that the special forces are really not easy to mix. The people around me were just as dazed as I was.
"Put on the blindfold, no one is allowed to take it off without my orders." The instructor gave the order.
