“That’s right. I will personally hand you your military uniform.” Xia Jinyuan helped her to straighten her cap. “Have a good week here. Make sure that you have six hours of rest every 24 hours. You can spend the rest of the time learning.”
Ye Jian smiled. Her eyes turned into crescents. “I was planning to sleep for four hours.”
“Silly lass, they have six hours of rest. Do you plan to do guard duty for the other two hours?” He patted her shoulder and shifted his gaze over the top of her head. He looked at the two reconnaissance vehicles and smiled. Then, he said in a low voice, “The self-propelled artillery of this armored force is not bad. There are many fun things on the reconnaissance vehicle. You can take more looks at it.”
“Special Forces soldiers need to know how to operate tanks and fighter jets too. It’s not just about driving.”
For instance, his Xueyu unit sometimes has to pilot their country’s newly-developed model of fighter jets along with the test pilots. There were many things for Ye Jian to learn in three and a half years.
The special missions assigned to the Special Forces soldiers were mostly undercover missions or solo missions. Knowing more things would provide you with additional layers of security. If you need to escape one day, you needed to know how to use a tank or a fighter jet if they were the only options in front of you!
During the 15 days of outdoor survival training, Ye Jian got injured, had fevers, lost her way, got stung by bees, and rested for less than four hours after arriving at her destination. But in a blink of an eye, she had started her next training.
The military unit was filled with the joy of celebrating the Chinese New Year. The major general knew that she spent Chinese New Year’s Eve alone in the rainforest so he specially ordered the kitchen to cook a serving of dumplings for Ye Jian. This was a consolation to her tired mind.
In the morning, he consoled her. At night, there was trouble looking for her.
That night, Ye Jian was sleeping soundly when suddenly, someone snuck into her tent to ‘assassinate’ her. Outside, there were people ‘damaging’ the armored vehicles. At this moment, Ye Jian knew that even though she only had seven days of learning, her week would be very fruitful and exciting.
The major general’s words caused Ye Jian to be on her guard so when two people snuck into her tent, Ye Jian’s first reaction was to throw the thin blanket at the black figure on her right.
She was in the military unit. The black figures who snuck in were none other than soldiers acting as assassins.
“Our armored soldiers don’t just drive the armored vehicles. They need to know many other things too.” Ye Jian understood what was the meaning of this sentence now.
This time, Ye Jian didn’t get a shock. Instead, the soldiers that snuck in got a shock. When she kicked, she inevitably made a grunt. The clear sound of a woman caused the two male soldiers to be stunned for a moment.
A… female?
Did they sneak into a family’s tent? That wasn’t right. There was no family’s tent here. They were all having outdoor training so there were no family members besides them!
At first, they didn’t use many skills. Now, when the two soldiers heard that this voice belonged to a lady, they really thought that someone had snuck into their camp. They didn’t care if this person was an enemy or not. They would capture her first!
Fists bumped against fists and legs kicked onto legs. The fight in the tent was so intense the blunt sound of muscles hitting one another could be heard.
Outside, the major general was speaking to a company commander with the surname ‘Zuo’, “How long do you think she can last?”
“The two soldiers you asked me to send have good fighting skills. Each of them can take down several people. If the person inside is a female soldier, I think that she won’t last for more than five minutes since it’s a 1 vs 2 fight.”
Company Commander Zuo felt that his estimate was quite conservative. If he spoke truthfully, he felt that she would only last for three minutes.
