Chapter 1614 Something Big Is Happening
With an indifferent expression, Li Jinnian stretched his legs. He changed to sit in a more comfortable position, pushing down the annoying feelings that came up for some reason. He only spoke frankly after a while: “I’ve already made a Military Oath, to turn this unit into the sharpest of blades within two years, and it’s been exactly a year and a half, I only have half a year left.”
“When it was first named ‘The Storm Amphibious Frogmen Commandos,’ the military was already hoping for us to become a unit that was capable of ‘dive the sea and fight on the ground,’ not just naval warfare, if I go lax even a little, Commander Dong would have a hard time answering the military.
After all, Commander Dong overcame all obstacles to allow him, who didn’t have much experience, to take the mantle as the unit’s leader.
When mentioning training, Li Jinnian was much more talkative than usual, “This February, I’ve brought them over to the junction between Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as Ulan Butong and the desert for wilderness survival lasting two months, and we have gained much.”
“Our team has six scouts, three from the Ground Forces, three from the Navy, and through systematic training, the six of them would occasionally share their experience, and now, both the land and sea would pose no difference for the six of them.”
“There’s one very unique thing about the Storm Commandos, which is, not all of the soldiers are from the Navy, we’re made up from all three armies, the Navy, Ground, and Air forces. That’s why, though our daily training revolved around the sea, we have never laxed with the training on land. Otherwise, we would not live up to the ‘amphibious’ name.”
His words made Xia Jinyuan nod his head repeatedly; it was already apparent. However, the specialty of the Storm Commandos was at sea, but they weren’t like whales that were washed ashore after getting on land and can’t even move. After taking off their rubber diving suits and putting on their ground combat uniform, each and every one of them were like ferocious tigers, uncaged, too fierce.
“Indeed, the military wouldn’t just limit you guys to naval combat, ‘dive the sea and fight on the ground’ is precisely what the military expects of you, besides…” Xia Jinyuan pressed his voice even lower and hid a smile, “I have a conjecture, this unusual match is very likely to be the military’s observation of us.”
He and Li Jinnian could count as knowing each other for years, based on their understanding of each other; the Devil King must’ve already had similar suspicions; however, he was just reticent by nature and didn’t like to point things out.
When he heard it while taking off his helmet, a very small sliver of surprise flashed past Li Jinnian’s eyes; holding the helmet in his hands, his fingers gently rubbed against the rims of his helmet, and pondered: “Seems like I’m not the only one thinking like that, I have a feeling the military is trying to choose elites among the elites.”
With that said, the duo in the darkness immediately went silent; the darkness was too thick, even if they were sitting so closely, they couldn’t even see each other’s features clearly, and they could only sense the slight tension on each other’s expression.
“Choosing elites among the elites…, from the looks of it, not all of the members would be going on tour. Instead, the quota would be limited.” Xia Jinyuan spoke quietly, “Following that line of thought, then everything can be explained.”
It can be explained why their current competition wasn’t done side-by-side. Instead, they separated at the start, met up in the middle, and separated at the end again.
Expending their energy and unearthing their potential was just one of their objectives, the more important objectives was this: selecting people!
In a group of excellent soldiers, they would still have rankings of higher, middle, and lower, and the military only wanted the ‘highest’ soldiers! They wanted the cream of the crop, the elite among the elite!
After returning, Ye Jian caught that sentence of ‘choosing elite among the elite,’ and her dainty brows raised subconsciously. After listening to everything Xia Jinyuan had said, a look of unhidden surprise appeared in her eyes.
