Early the next morning, Zhou Tian was pulled out of the bed by several people. Murong Ting said angrily: "You are still sleeping, it's time to gather, if you don't go, you will be criticized." ”

Han Yu said coldly on the side: "Don't hold us back. ”

Zhou Tian sighed and got dressed. With Murong Ting and Han Yu behind them, they came to the playground weakly. Now the sky is just white, and the playground is empty, and there is not even a single figure to be seen.

Xia Lan and Ling Wei were already waiting on the playground. Xia Lan's face turned cold, and said: "I said that I would gather at five o'clock, and now it's five o'clock, what's going on? Aren't my words an order?"

Murong Ting snorted: "It's not all your Sundays that like to sleep lazy, if it weren't for him, how could we be late." ”

Xia Lan walked up to Zhou Tian and asked sternly, "Is this the case?"

Zhou Tian muttered: "Yes, yes, it's too early, I can't get up a little." ”

"Okay, one point will be deducted from the assessment. Xia Lan said unceremoniously.

"What?" cried Zhou Tian, "how can this be? I'm just a few minutes late, so I don't need to." ”

"Two points are deducted. Xia Lan still said unceremoniously.

Zhou Tian muttered a few times, but did not dare to speak out against it. I really don't know that Xia Lan lost her temper with him because of yesterday's incident. Or is it because he is really late, as an instructor is performing his due responsibilities.

Maybe both. But no matter what, Zhou Tian really felt super speechless.

Xia Lan saw that Zhou Tian no longer spoke, and no longer lost his temper with him, and shouted: "Now, let's go." He Ling Wei took the lead and took Zhou Tian and the three out of the school gate.

A military car was parked at the school gate early in the morning. The five of them got into the car in order. The driver, a swarthy strong man, grinned at the five people and said, "Welcome." He started the car and rushed out of the school.

The car left the city, turned into the highway, drove for more than an hour, and came to a dense forest. Zhou Tian didn't expect that the dense woods would automatically part, revealing a wide road.

The car drove into the wide road, and in a short time it reached a low point. The trough is very large, and it has been artificially modified, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. This is a secret place in the Jiangzhou Military Sub-district and a military base.

The car stopped in front of a steel gate, and the driver got out of the car and said to the five people: "The chiefs are inside, and they are waiting for you." ”

Xia Lan said, "Thank you." He led the three of Zhou Tian to the gate, and after the camera at the door confirmed their identities, the gate opened "Zaza". The five men straightened their clothes and walked in.

When she arrived at a conference room, Xia Lan shouted, "Report." Then he heard a majestic voice from within: "Come in." ”

Xia Lan pushed the door and entered, and the other four people also walked in. I saw three people sitting in the conference room, two of them were Fu Yi and the other was Zhou Xiaotian.

And the last one is an old man in his sixties. Wearing a straight military uniform, he looks particularly energetic. Zhou Tian secretly looked over and saw three stars pinned to his shoulders.

That's a first rank general.

Fu Yi said, "The five of you find a place to sit down. ”

"Yes. Xia Lan felt strange in her heart, didn't she say that she was conducting special military training? How could it alarm the national first-class generals to come? It seems that there is something strange inside.

Xia Lan found a place to sit down with a full stomach full of questions. Zhou Tian didn't dare to look like a fool at this time, and the whole atmosphere was very serious.

Seeing that the five of them were all sitting down, Fu Yi said, "Let me introduce to you first, this is our Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Commander-in-Chief of the Yanjing Military Region, Commander Xu Bingxu." ”

The five of them stood up in unison and saluted.

Commander Xu smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, sit down." He glanced at the five people, and finally stopped his eyes on Zhou Tian, and asked with a smile, "You are Zhou Tian?"

"Yes. Zhou Tian was just about to stand up, but Commander Xu stopped him and smiled: "Don't be so polite." Your name is so big now that the entire Military Commission is beginning to know your name. The President has complimented you more than once in my presence. What you did in Jiangzhou is really good. ”

Zhou Tian didn't understand these rules, and when he was praised by Commander Xu like this, he was embarrassed, smiled shyly, and said: "It's not my credit alone, many excellent soldiers have paid the price of their lives for this." They are heroic and admirable. They are the heroes we should remember. ”

Commander Xu nodded and said, "Very good, you are all good." The country will not forget those who have sacrificed, and the people will never forget them. ”

Zhou Tian remembered the tragedy of that battle, and his heart was quite sad.

Commander Xu paused and continued: "I came to you today because I have an important task entrusted to you. I have discussed with Director Fu and Commander Zhou, and I think it is most appropriate to send you. Moreover, this is also a special kind of military training. ”

Xia Lan was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Commander Xu, what is the task?"

Commander Xu said: "I think you all know about this international military exercise. ”

The five of them all nodded as they said, waiting for Commander Xu's next words.

Commander Xu said: "We have received information that Penglai intends to use this military exercise to plot against the southwest region of our country. The venue of this international military exercise was in the southwestern region of our country. It was nominally a military exercise, but in fact it was a crackdown on the drug cartels in that area. Everyone knows that those drug cartels have committed many crimes, and the state has always wanted to exterminate them. ”

"However, these drug cartels are multi-national and have their own armed personnel. Coupled with the complex terrain, it is really not easy to destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

"In recent years, drug cartels have become extremely rampant in the international arena, causing international outrage, which is why this international military exercise has been launched. However, we have received reliable information that Penglai intends to use this exercise to conduct a topographical survey of the southwestern region of our country. If they learn about our military arrangements there, the impact will be very bad. ”

Xia Lan asked, "Chief, what is our task?"

Commander Xu said: "In the southwest of our country, there is a huge drug trafficking group. They had two or three hundred armed men, as well as a considerable number of cultivators. These people are extremely vicious and have done many evils, and the local people are very angry. Your mission is to find this drug cartel and unite with the local army to eliminate them. Then you will cooperate with the local defenders and prevent the people of Penglai from entering our territory even an inch. ”

Xia Lan said firmly: "Please rest assured, the chief, we promise to complete the task." ”

Commander Xu smiled and said, "Very good, confident, we are half of the success." But this time, your task is heavy and dangerous. Those drug traffickers are extremely vicious people, and they are quite cunning. We don't have a lot of intelligence on them. It's all up to you. ”

Xia Lan said: "We know that we will take the opportunity to act. ”

Commander Xu smiled and said, "Just now I was discussing with Director Fu and Commander Zhou, who is more appropriate for you to command this operation." In the end, we unanimously decided that Zhou Tian would be the commander. ”

"Me?" Zhou Tian looked at everyone in astonishment and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it." The last time I faced a poisonous person, it was just a fluke. What's more, those drug people are unconscious, they are different from those cunning drug dealers. I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. ”

Commander Xu said: "We decided so, naturally there is a reason for us to make such a decision. Now we just need you a word, do you have the confidence to accomplish this task?"

Zhou Tian pondered for a while, raised his head, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes." ”

Commander Xu nodded approvingly: "Good, confidence is good." This time you are fighting in the jungle, and it is a new challenge for you. I didn't send experienced commanders to command you, first, because sending these experienced commanders would attract the attention of Penglai Kingdom. ”

"As far as we know, all the experienced commanders in our country have archives with them, so they can't move. Second, experienced commanders are easily deceived by their own experience and do not think creatively, which has a very negative impact on the completion of tasks. The third is that I believe that you can accept such a challenge, and it is also a good opportunity for you to exercise. ”

Zhou Tiandao: "Please rest assured that we will complete the task and never disgrace the country." ”

Commander Xu said: "Eliminating drug dealers is only one of the tasks, and the most important thing is to guard the southwest gate and never let people from Penglai Country come in." After all, this is an international military exercise, which gives the people of Penglai an excuse. ”

Zhou Tian asked tentatively: "If the army of Penglai invades, do we have the right to fight back?"

Commander Xu said: "Since it is a military exercise, you naturally have the right to fight back. If they dare to come by force, they will be afraid. ”

"Yes. Zhou Tian stood up and saluted.

Commander Xu motioned for Zhou Tian to sit down and said, "In terms of staffing, give you thirty places, and it will be too much to move." These thirty people, you can choose at will in the special brigade, and we fully support you. ”

Zhou Tian thought for a while and said, "Director Fu, I want to be alone with you." Tianyun, a person from the Jiangzhou City State Security Bureau. ”

Fu Yi smiled: "I knew that your kid would ask me for this person, and I have already prepared it for you." He's always on call. ”

Zhou Tian smiled and said, "Thank you Director Fu." In addition to Tianyun, Fifth Uncle, you also want me and the dozen or so people you want. Also, I want to pick twenty people from the special squad in the last operation to poison people. ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Stinky boy, you will choose people." Those are the best of my special forces elite, and you must bring them back to me safely. ”

Zhou Tiandao: "I will do everything in my power to ensure their safety." Those are good soldiers. I've done my job, and these people are going to give it to me. ”
