Chapter 158: I almost went into the coffin
After registering at the check-in office, Xiang Nan took Zheng Hai and Liu Yi to the guest house.
When checking in, with a slight commotion at the staircase, a man with gray sideburns, three golden beans on his shoulders, and a powerful aura slowly went downstairs surrounded by a group of lieutenants and officers.
"Hello Commander!"
"Hello Commander!"
Zheng Hai and Xiang Nan saluted and greeted each other at the same time.
Liu Yi didn't know any commander, seeing Zheng Hai and Xiang Nan's movements, he slowed down a little, and hurriedly saluted.
"Well, Zheng Hai. The commander stopped and looked at Zheng Hai for a moment, and said solemnly: "It's still so energetic, not bad!"
"I'm not doing my job well. Zheng Hai lowered his head abruptly.
The work and tasks of the special operations brigade in the past year have been completed well, and the reason why Zheng Hai admitted his mistake when he opened his mouth was naturally because of the previous group of events.
Liu Yi saw Zheng Hai in front of so many school officers and lieutenants, and the first thing he said was to admit his mistake, and his heart was full of apologies.
At the end of the day, it's all caused by him.
"No one is a saint, and there is no one who does not make mistakes. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's important to learn from them. ”
Although the commander's tone was stern, the content of his words really relieved Zheng Hai.
"This young man is Liu... Liu Yi, right?" the commander finished his words and moved his gaze to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi didn't expect the commander to know his name, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and saluted again: "Yes! Hello commander!"
"Well, yes, spirit!" the commander looked at Liu Yi very seriously and nodded with satisfaction.
His eyes swept the epaulettes on Liu Yi's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Why do you still have the rank of private, at your age, you don't look like it." ”
All special operations units have a high percentage of officers, but most choose to wear fighter epaulettes for reasons of secrecy and some personal bad tastes.
Tender-faced, wearing a senior soldier or a first- or second-class non-commissioned officer.
The older ones put on the epaulettes of third- and fourth-level non-commissioned officers, and made a look of a veteran oil all day long.
But, that's in the respective units.
Now that they are ready to represent the military region, they naturally have to dress strictly according to their ranks.
Liu Yi heard the commander's words, and his face was a little embarrassed.
Zheng Hai spoke in time to explain for him: "Commander, it's like this. Liu Yi had just been promoted before, and the formalities had not yet been completed, so wouldn't this be ......
There is no clear explanation for this delay. ”
"I heard, didn't you punish him for his cooking shift?" the commander frowned.
"Yes! It's been half a year since I got off the cooking class. Zheng Haili replied.
"I've been a leader for half a year, and I haven't lost my skills, have you?" the commander's gaze turned to Liu Yi's face.
How did Liu Yi answer, when he was hesitating.
Zheng Hai once again relieved him of the siege: "Commander, don't worry, if this kid's ability is lost, I won't bring him here." ”
"Well, okay!" the commander nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and found the group leader of the army where the special operations team was located from the crowd around him.
Su Sheng said: "Chief of Staff Xiao, the tradition of our army, there is no double punishment for one crime. Besides, Comrade Liu Yi has merit. A small mistake can't be amplified indefinitely. ”
With the commander's words, the eyes of a group of school officers and lieutenants all fell on Liu Yi's face.
They were all very curious about what mistakes the kid in front of them had made and what credit he had made. It can be remembered by the commander of the military district.
"Yes! I'll do it right away!" Chief of Staff Xiao in the crowd replied in a solemn voice.
The commander refocused his gaze on Liu Yi's face and encouraged: "Don't have a burden in your heart. Your captain, you were punished to feed the pigs for more than half a year.
If you make a mistake, just fix it. ”
"Yes!"
Liu Yi was really excited this time, and Ying Heyin trembled a little.
The commander raised his hand and patted Liu Yi's shoulder gently, and his eyes turned to Xiang Nan's body.
With some ridicule, he said: "Xiang Nan, what rank is it now?"
The rank of lieutenant was clearly on Xiang Nan's shoulder, but when the commander's words came out, Xiang Nan couldn't help but answer.
I could only say with an embarrassed expression: "Lieutenant." ”
"Hmm~" The commander swept Xiang Nan's epaulettes and asked again: "How old are you this year?"
"Report to the commander, it's twenty-five. The expression on Xiang Nan's face finally became normal.
"Oh~" The commander nodded again and muttered, "Twenty-five, lieutenant...... Oh, you want to marry a daughter-in-law before the age of thirty, I think it's a little hanging!"
"Poof~"
"Hahahaha"~
"Haha......"
Xiang Nan rushed to marry his daughter-in-law before becoming a soldier, and almost everyone at a certain level in the whole military region knew about it.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the commander teasing, whether it was funny or really funny.
A group of sub-school officers and lieutenants burst into laughter in an instant.
Xiang Nan didn't expect that the commander who had always been serious would suddenly make a joke about him in front of so many people.
Standing there, his face flushed, and he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you. The commander put away the smile on his face.
The tone changed to seriousness: "Let me tell you, you have to perform well in this competition, it can save you at least three years of time, and you can do it yourself!"
"Yes!" Xiang Nan was excited.
With an excited face, Lizheng said: "I will definitely go all out!"
Generally speaking, in military-wide events, as long as good results are achieved, a second-class merit is basically not run.
If the results are more top-notch, it is not impossible to achieve first-class merit.
While receiving meritorious service awards is an honor, according to the relevant rules and regulations, it can also shorten the hard time for grading.
And what the commander just said means that if the participating teams achieve outstanding results in this competition, they will be directly qualified for promotion.
This sentence not only successfully aroused Xiang Nan's fighting spirit, but also Liu Yi was inspired.
After all, although the second lieutenant has entered the officer sequence, he is also a platoon-level cadre, and he belongs to the lowest level in the entire officer sequence.
If it can be raised one level and become a deputy company, it will be much more beautiful.
"Okay, I'll hold a reception banquet for the five of you in the evening, and you can get acquainted with it then. Two days after tomorrow, coordination training will be conducted. After the commander finished speaking, he continued to walk out.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Liu Yi and Xiang Nan looked excited and saluted at the same time, watching the commander leave......
At seven o'clock in the evening, the reception banquet started on time in the small canteen of the special operations brigade.
The meal was personally paid for by the commander, and there were more than a dozen plates and bowls, all of which were hard dishes.
After the chief officer of the special operations brigade took Xiang Nan, Zheng Hai took Liu Yi, and the chief officers of the other three special operations forces arrived with the other three team members, the commander appeared in the private room.
After sitting down on the main seat, the secretary behind him placed a rather heavy cardboard box in the corner.
