Time flies, and the recruits trained in the West Mountain are brutally oppressed by the wolf killing instructors, and they burst out with their own amazing potential, growing at an astonishing speed.

At this point, there is not much time left for them to take the final assessment. The assessment plan proposed by Xiao gradually separated was approved by Long Xiaotian, and was finally determined after being perfected by Du Yu, the commander-in-chief of Xishan's new training. In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the assessment, the Ministry of Military Affairs has set up a special assessment and acceptance working group to be stationed in the assessment area in advance to carry out preliminary preparations. According to the assessment plan, the royal family adjusted the reward plan for the winners, increasing the gold content of the rewards.

Soon, Zhang Lingfeng, Minister of Military Affairs, came to the Xishan Exercise Ground with a new reward plan and met with Commander-in-Chief Du Yu.

"Master Zhang, congratulations on your victory. Du Yu looked at the radiant Zhang Lingfeng and handed over the freshly brewed tea.

"Old Du, don't hurt me. Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly got up from the sofa and took the teacup with both hands.

Although he is now the Minister of War, he respects this veteran of the military from the bottom of his heart. Although these veterans who have been silent for more than ten years in the years of peace, they are a precious asset for the military to regain its vigor. When the whole country was blinded by the clouds of peace, only they remained awake, quietly waiting in peace for the horn of war to sound.

"If you hadn't taken the lead for me, how could I have any hope of winning!" Putting down the teacup, Zhang Lingfeng sighed. This time, the military became the biggest winner with its performance in the process of rescuing the two recruits, and won unanimous praise from the royal family and the people while being in the limelight. This has not been the case for many years. For him, it was a gamble, and he dared to gamble because he learned that Du Yu had approved the Wolf Killing Rider to take action to rescue the two recruits. He believed in Du Yu's vision, and even more in his judgment of the situation.

"I've always been a bit of a short-term person, and I've been like that for decades, you know. Du Yu smiled, "So you don't have to take credit for me." ”

"Okay, you don't want the credit, I'll keep it myself. Don't look at my usual scenery, but I've been holding my breath in my heart all these years, and this time I finally vomited it!" Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.

"You Zhang Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, it's not a good thing for the country. Du Yu sighed softly, "You must know that in peacetime, the army is often like a stepmother's child, and only when the country is facing the threat of war will its status be unprecedentedly improved." ”

Zhang Lingfeng was obviously stunned, but quickly understood the meaning of Du Yu's words. You know, I have been thinking about this question since I returned from the wolf killing ride, and I have not found the answer until the last few days. He sighed.

"Lingfeng, the internal troubles of the empire have not been eliminated, and external troubles are coming, the burden on your shoulders is not light!" Du Yu reminded, "As a military minister, you are a soldier first, and a politician second. ”

"Lingfeng has been taught!" Zhang Lingfeng nodded in response. Du Yu was reminding him not to get into the maze of domestic power struggles, but to concentrate on preparing for future wars. This is the true wisdom of the people, because whoever becomes the ruler of the country in the future needs an army that can withstand the enemy's borders, and he needs a great wall of steel to protect the country.

"We only have one Xiao gradually leaving, and he is old. Du Yu said again, "If you really have the heart to revive the majesty of the imperial army, you might as well pay more attention to the young people." Especially young people who are growing up fast in the fighting on the front lines. ”

"Elder Du, I coincide with you in this idea!" Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile, "This time I came to Xishan for the sake of these young people. ”

"Oh, could it be that you have a crush on two troublesome recruits?" Du Yu asked.

"It's not just me who has taken a fancy to them! Look at this!" Zhang Lingfeng smiled mysteriously and handed the Wen Jiàn bag beside him to Du Yu.

Du Yu took out the text and looked at it seriously.

This is a new training and reward plan for Xishan approved by Long Xiaoyun, and its benefits are unprecedented in the history of the imperial army. Individuals and detachments who achieve the top 10 in the assessment will not only be personally received by the princess, but will also be qualified for exceptional promotion to officer. At the end of the new training, they can choose whether or not to enter the elite front-line units in the Northwest Theater according to their personal realities. For peacetime soldiers, it is a supreme honor to be received by members of the royal family. For the recruits, being promoted to officers is an opportunity to change their fate. Entering the elite units of the Northwest Army means that they have the opportunity to accept the teachings of General Xiao Yanli, the first person in the military circles, and have the opportunity to accumulate combat exploits on the front line. This qualification is indispensable for any general's growth.

However, these are very common for Du Yu. What really moved him was the last reward: the commanders who led his detachment to the top three in the assessment will be given the opportunity to be sent to the Advanced Military Command College of the Yanyue Imperial Army in the Eastern Continent two years later. This, for young people who are strong in blood and are interested in making a career in the army, is a temptation that cannot be refused. Du Yu clearly remembered that in the history of the empire, there were no more than a hundred soldiers who could enter the Yanyue Royal Advanced Military Command Academy to study, and among these hundred people, except for a few people who died on the battlefield and him, all the others entered the ranks of generals without exception. However, this military school only recruits students from mainland countries every three years, and the quota allocated to each country will not exceed ten people. As was customary in the past, these places were often allocated directly to members of the royal family and young talents of noble families, and it was simply impossible for ordinary soldiers to take their turns.

"Old Du, this time His Majesty has made a bloody investment!" After he finished reading the text, Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

"Since His Majesty has given him a chance, I believe that these young people will return him a miracle!" Du Yu smiled. The subtle changes represent Long Xiaoyun's determination to strengthen the army. This change came a little later, but it is a good thing to be happy about.

"Then I'll see. Zhang Lingfeng got up and said goodbye.

After sending off the Minister of Military Affairs Zhang Lingfeng, Du Yu stood in the dark, looking at the stars in the sky, his expression sad and solemn. In his opinion, there is almost no much difference between today's empire and the Crescent Empire that was divided by the great powers in the past - the same famous generals withered, the same national wealth and weak army, and the same accumulated heavy weights, like a fattened lamb waiting to be slaughtered. To be precise, the Celestial Dragon Empire not only inherited most of the territory of the Crescent, but also inherited its painful memories of the war. This memory was once the driving force for the empire to continue to grow stronger, giving the empire an iron-blooded army that was not inferior to that of any military power. However, the Great Wall, which guarded the thousand-mile frontier, was finally destroyed, half destroyed by the enemy and half by his own hands. Eighteen years ago, in the battle of Flying Dragon City, the enemy not only killed Li Mubai, but also killed the desire for victory, the courage to fight, and the spirit of sacrifice in the hearts of the Tianlong soldiers and civilians. On the day when the agreement on land cession and indemnity was signed, General Xiao Yanli, who built three lines of defense to resist the enemy under Feilong City, vomited blood and sighed to the sky, leaving behind a lifelong illness.

Today, looking at the entire Tianlong Empire, who can support the building when it is about to fall? Who can turn the tide when it falls? Who can recast the soul of the great army, who can recreate the heroes of a hundred battles? Who can watch over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and who can calm the four seas?

"Perhaps, I can only wear this rank until I die. Du Yu, who was in an inexplicably heavy mood, turned his head to look at the rank of colonel on his shoulder, and looked sad.

The next day, Commander-in-Chief Du Yu announced the royal family's reward plan. This plan made the entire Xishan Exercise Ground boil, and the recruits were excited and high-spirited. Even Mo Tianci, who had always been calm, was excited when he saw the three places that were guaranteed to be sent to the Yanyue Royal Military Academy. He didn't expect that what he was looking for would unexpectedly appear in the assessment reward of Xishan Military Training. Almost instantly, he had made a decision, this time he would fight without reservation, moving firmly towards his goal, and he would eradicate anyone who dared to stand in his way, mercilessly. Well, especially that fat man, the guy who acted whimsically and boldly, now that he has the support of the Li family, he has to deal with it more carefully.

However, there are always some freaks who think differently from normal people these days.

"I think this reward is too scummy, it's better to give my brother another 100,000 gold coins directly!" This was Zhu Xiaoqi's first reaction after learning about the reward plan.

He had been having a headache lately, because without the help of spirit stones, his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot. Leng Yunfei's magical needle made him gradually lose weight, and his spiritual power level also increased slightly, but it was far from enough for him. In building his own troops, he has to face the many troubles brought about by the identity of the young master of the Li family, and he must become stronger.

In the end, there was really no way, he quietly swallowed the two necklaces that Lan Xinyue had returned to him. In this way, the 10,000 gold coins were gone, and while his flesh was in pain, he had to start thinking about how to get money and how to get spirit stones.

"Seventh brother, that's a princess!" Zhao Tiedan didn't understand his calmness, "Aren't you singing about a golden knife all day long, donkey, this is a great opportunity for you to get close to the princess and leave an impression on her at the same time!"

"Just sing, are you still serious?" Zhu Xiaoqi glanced at him, "The situation of her family is complicated like that, and it is estimated that she will have to live a few years less as a son-in-law for her family, so my brother will not do that kind of stupid thing." ”

Let's guard the Li family, guard the beautiful Xiaowan sister, guard the twilight snow guard, guard a lot of beauties, isn't it easy to marry a beautiful girl as a wife in the future? If one is not enough, Lao Tzu will marry two more, biting the snow-white bun on the left and right...... Someone happily lusts.

"Okay, then you should be able to look at the promotion, right? The identity of an officer is a business card for entering the upper class!" Zhao Tie asked without giving up.

"High society? Lao Tzu remembers, I seem to be already a nobleman, right?" Zhu Xiaoqi said lightly.

"My brother, aren't you indifferent to those three places?" Zhao Tie was worried.

"To be honest, I don't think there's anything better to learn there than what I have in my head. Zhu Xiaoqi said confidently.

"Seventh brother, even if you don't want it, I want these rewards, you have to help me. In the end, Zhao Tiedan could only choose to tell the truth.

Zhu Xiaoqi glanced at him with satisfaction. "Iron Guts, you're not a fucking person who goes around in circles! You remember it for Lao Tzu, from the day you carried the bricks to accompany me from birth and death, you are my brother, what you want, I will definitely let you get what you want!"
