The Ground Forces’ Major General had long been waiting by the harbor; the moment he noticed Ye Jian getting off, he walked over to greet her.
“Major General!” Ye Jian jumped off the boat and immediately gave a vigorous salute.
“Not bad, though you seemed to have tanned a bit.” Major General Yang smiled as he looked at Ye Jian, who would be a member of the Elite Platoon Special Forces. His eyes revealed a deep smile, and then he returned the salute Li Jinnian gave him. After lowering his arm, he smiled at the young Major who was famous for his strict training, “You’ve done well in this time, Major Li.”
Before the Ground Forces’ Major General, Li Jinnian’s expression was still indifferent, and his eyes were steady as he replied calmly, “That is my job, and also my responsibility.”
“I can see the sacred qualities of the present soldiers from you, Major Li. You’re worthy of being the model for our armies.” Major General truly liked the Major in front of him. In the past, he had also tried to get him into the Elite Platoon so that he and Xia Jinyuan could join the unit together and hammer the Elite Platoon into a world-class Special Forces Unit that was excellent and top-notch.
Afterward, the military researched the matter twice more because the Navy needed to establish an underwater commando unit; Li Jinnian then went into the Navy, while Xia Jinyuan went to the Ground Forces.
Presently, both of them were shining and glowing in their respective units. Even though Li Jinnian did not become a Ground Forces soldier, Major General Yang still cherished his talent. Only after chatting with him for a long time did he speak with Ye Jian.
Staring at the figure who was leaving collectedly, Major General Yang smiled: “Him ah, was almost the same as Xia Jinyuan, almost became a member of our Ground Forces.” Looking at his side, Major General Yang noticed the nape of Ye Jian’s neck that was flaking off and reddish from sunburn. After his gaze froze on it for a moment, he then sighed lightly, “Was the past month or so hard for you? It’s much harder than the Ground Forces’ training, right.”
Perhaps not only one layer of skin had flaked off. What’s more likely was after she recovered, she got sunburned, then her sunburned recovered, rinse and repeat for several times.
“Mainly because I wasn’t too familiar with their training, everything started from zero, so it’s a little bit harder than the Ground Forces’ training.” Ye Jian did not exaggerate herself, and answered truthfully: “Thank goodness I passed the physical fitness and mental quality test on the first day, otherwise, with Captain Li’s strictness, I would really be sent home.”
Major General Yang smiled, “Since sending you here, neither Xia Jinyuan nor I have ever imagined you’d be sent back home by him. Physical fitness and mental quality, we’re all certain that you’d be able to pass those.”
“It’s a good thing I didn’t loaf around during my usual training. If I really was sent home, that’ll be too embarrassing.” Ye Jian poked fun at herself, even though her body was exhausted, but her spirit had been tempered. The vigorous spirit emanating from her body was visible from her eyes that were littered with stars. While the Major General was guffawing loudly, she slowly said without rushing, “After one week of fearful training, I felt that Captain Li was quite satisfied with me, so my heart started to relax.”
Hard work was definitely present. Without hard work, how could she become an excellent soldier?
Major General Yang was very satisfied with Ye Jian’s energy that was unwilling to admit defeat, unfearful of exhaustion, unfearful of hard work, “Over at your military academy, we’ve pushed back the time for you to report in until 2nd of September and you’re exempt from the military Bootcamp that the academy has in progress.”
“At that time, I’ll make Xia Jinyuan come here and pick you up. First, go home and retrieve your admission letter; it’s okay if you finish reporting on the 2nd of September as well.”
National University of Defense Technology’s fresh admissions needed to participate in Bootcamp. They finish going through the admission procedures about two weeks ahead of other academies and then complete their first military academy Bootcamp.
To put it nicely: experiencing life in a military academy.
For the other freshmen, they were experiencing life in a military academy, but for Ye Jian, these were all trivial things. Staying with the Navy and training here for another half a month would get her better gains.
