This was the care and concern the military had towards Ye Jian. It was also because they treated her with high regard, and even more so, it was them nurturing her!
Although she was a late heroine’s orphan, she was still present in Commander Liu’s and Political Commissar Yan’s heart. As if there was a sun present in her heart, she was heading towards the best direction.
In that place, there was the belief that her mother had left behind, and it has influenced Ye Jian. The daughter was continuing her mother’s work of protecting the country and defending its borders.
Ye Jian was also worthy of being nurtured by the military and the country; She would surpass her mother. She can’t disgrace her mother, as she will only gain honor.
“Silly lass, why are you tearing up? Don’t you cry, ah! Political Commissar Yan and I only know how to scold people, we don’t know how to cheer people up ah.” Regimental Commander Liu turned his head from the co-driver seat and noticed Ye Jian’s eyes that were staring straight ahead were red and had some tears shimmering in them. He immediately started teasing, “You’re one of our soldiers! No matter if they’re men or women, they’ll only shed blood, not tears!”
“It can’t be helped. I can’t do anything about you crying. I only know how to pass tissues. Hey, Lao Yan, what’re you blanking out for, hurry up and pass the tissue ah. Look at how sad the little lass is, tsk. Even after getting bruises on her whole body by sparring with the guys, we didn’t even see her shed a tear. Here I thought her tear glands were under-developed and didn’t know how to cry.”
“It’s not that I don’t know how to cry; it’s just that my emotions haven’t finished brewing. I need a good opportunity for them to flow ah.”
After Ye Jian, whose heart was touched, was being teased by Commander Liu, how would she continue brewing her emotions of crying? She was already laughing out loud at this point.
The airplane thrust itself towards the heavens filled with stars and started its approximately three-hour journey northwards.
The weather in the capital wasn’t bad; it was similarly lit by the stars. The moon’s gleam was unclouded, and there was even a cool breeze.
“Every soldier’s weaponry: one American made SIG Sauer carbine pistol each, four magazines, a sidearm, p5 Assault Rifle, tear-gas grenades and smoke grenades, three each.” Inside a munitions storehouse in Beijing, Xia Jinyuan, J5, Q3, and Z4 were making an inventory of the weapons they were carrying. These were the weapons and munitions they must prepare whenever going abroad, just in case.
Because the country they were visiting this time was coincidentally a country that needed rebuilding after a war, the amount of danger was much higher. The preparation of weapons was much more abundant than before.
It was visible from the allocation of escort personnel that besides the soldiers that got stationed in the Ministry of State Security and Zhongnanhai, there were also the soldiers from the extraordinary special forces from the Elite Platoon acting as bodyguards.
Special forces are the aces in the sleeves of every country when facing emergency security incidents. They were the blades of the country and the guardian protectors of their land. Especially the organization of the Elite Platoon that was particularly extraordinary amongst the special forces. Whenever they showed up, it represented that the mission was one of the highest order.
“Okay, all accounted for. Verified.”
“Verified!”
“Verified!”
Three similarly cold and resolute voices came in sequence. They finished inspecting everything on the table and adequately made sure that nothing was wrong with the weapons. They then started holstering it on themselves.
They were escort personnel. They wore dark-colored suits and wore ties; their meticulous image was very following the image of escort personnel who were going overseas.
After they finished holstering their weapons, they then put on their suit jackets that were ironed to the point of being creaseless. The instant they had put on the well-knit and legitimate suit coat on their 180-190cm tall bodies, their figures became very tempting in the uniforms.
The trim suits were all tailored according to their height and body figure. With their year-round training, their muscles were exceptionally well proportioned, and after putting on their dress shirts, their pectoral muscles undulated ever so slightly. This made them seem extremely robust, but the moment they had put on their jackets, each one of them appeared pure and tall. Their broad shoulders and slim waist exhibited a lean build filled with vigor.
