Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 74 Inquiry and Team Formation

"Come in."

The high school team leader held the blue folder, looking at everyone without saying a word, until Xiao Zhuang returned to the team. Only then did he let the Grey Wolves continue with the second round of selection training according to the training plan.

A good night's rest left everyone refreshed. The rookies had changed into special forces camouflage uniforms and boots, looking particularly imposing, though they weren't wearing arm patches.

Ma Da smiled and said, "Looks like you slept well?"

Then Mada's expression changed: "Now that you've rested, let's get some exercise, 5 kilometers of cross-country running with full gear! Let's begin!"
Hurry up and get to work. If I didn't know your real ages, I would think I was facing a group of elderly men.

"People like you are destined to be bullets on the battlefield!"

The familiar shouts rang out; after a week of getting used to each other, everyone had grown accustomed to the instructors' taunts.

The rookies were already prepared; it would be a problem if the gray wolf spoke to them in a gentle and soft-spoken manner at this moment.

Prepared in advance, the newbies immediately took off running upon hearing the order.

Grey Wolf Mada looked at them, picked up the megaphone, and said, "Come back after you finish running, and do 100 push-ups here!"
Changning, step forward and collect your equipment from the coyote.

"Yes!"

Changning is targeted every day, and the newbies are used to it.

After receiving his new weighted gear from the coyotes, Chang Ning caught up with his comrades ahead, carrying a weight of 100 kilograms.

The 100-kilogram load was just right to make Chang Ning feel the pressure; this was all calculated carefully by Gao Zhongdui and Tong Youyou based on Chang Ning's training data.

The rookies ran around sparsely, and this time, without the instructors' loudspeakers urging them on, they ran with great enjoyment.

A 5km armed cross-country run is no longer a threat to the newbies participating in the selection process, since the minimum distance during Hell Week is 10km.

After the push-ups, the special forces conducted their routine questioning of the rookies who had entered the second round of selection.

Inside the spacious tent, Chang Ning, with beads of sweat still on her forehead, stood in the center in a straddle position.

In front of him sat Senior Captain Gao and three colonel-level officers in black berets behind a long table. The only familiar face was Senior Captain Gao.

With a serious expression and a stern face, Captain Gao said to Chang Ning, "Soldier, we're going to ask you some questions. No thinking allowed, just answer."

Is it clear?

Chang Ning: "Understood, sir!"

Why did you choose to participate in the Army Special Forces selection?

"Report! Two reasons."

First, I am interested in special forces.

Second, to fulfill my platoon leader's dream, as he was unable to participate in the selection assessment due to health reasons.

complete. "

"Shuashuashua~"

The three officers beside the high school captain listened to Chang Ning's answer and took notes, all of which were to be filed and sealed.

The answer was standard and nothing special, which pleased the high school team leader. Now was not the time to stir things up.

He was afraid that Chang Ning would say something strange that would affect his future service in the Wolf Fang.

"Okay, next question: What are your thoughts on special forces?"

Chang Ning: "Special forces are units in the armies of some countries around the world that are responsible for attacking important political, economic, and military targets of the enemy and carrying out other special missions."

Generally, it is directly commanded and led by the highest military command authority, while in a few countries it is led by the Ministry of Defense or the service.

It is characterized by flexible organization, lean personnel, excellent equipment, rapid mobility, well-trained, and strong combat effectiveness.

Its main tasks are: harassment and sabotage, assassination and kidnapping, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, intelligence gathering, psychological warfare and propaganda, special security...

"Stop, stop! I didn't ask you to memorize a definition. Just tell me your own opinion!"

Upon hearing Chang Ning begin reciting long passages of the definition of "special forces," Captain Gao and the other three officers exchanged bewildered glances and interrupted Chang Ning to continue.

"If you ask me, special forces are about solving difficult or challenging problems in the least costly way."

At the same time, the practitioners are also made of flesh and blood, and are not as divine as the legends say!

Report complete!

This time, the story finally made sense. When Chang Ning started reciting the definition, he really caught the four officers off guard.

Everyone knows the definitions, and they can recite them by heart. The officers wanted to know the soldiers' true feelings, not just the written definitions.

The high school captain continued, "If you were deep behind enemy lines and a teammate was injured and unable to continue advancing with the team, what would you do?"

This question is quite tricky; you can refer to the incident in Naruto where Sakumo Hatake abandoned his mission to save his comrades.

Chang Ning thought about it and realized that this question was a test of human nature, so he had to take it seriously.

Encountering the situation described by the senior team leader means having to choose between the mission and one's comrades.

The senior team leader stared at Chang Ning, and seeing that he didn't speak, he urged him, "Answer immediately!"

Chang Ning: "Report, I will leave him with sufficient survival supplies and tell him to find a way back on his own."

If all else fails, then let him keep one last bullet in his gun, ready to detonate it at any moment.

War is no small matter, and the missions of special forces are mostly extremely important; everyone can understand this.

...Chang Ning was the first to be called in. After he came out and rejoined the team, Ostrich couldn't help but whisper to Chang Ning about the situation inside the tent.

"Hey, what's the situation inside Changning? What questions did they ask?"

The ostrich drew everyone's attention to Chang Ning, and everyone was curious about what questions the high school team leader would ask.

After all, this involved whether they could pass the selection process and stay in Wolf Fang. Even the usually cheerful medics listened carefully, wanting to understand the situation so they could make preparations.

"Do you think I can tell you this? Can't you see the gray wolf is already itching for a fight?"
If you don't care, then pretend I didn't say anything, but I dare to say it now, do you dare to listen?

Think it over carefully. I've said it now: we'll all be eliminated together and come back next year.

"Then let's forget about it, haha."

Ostrich chuckled. He was just curious and hadn't thought much about it. This guy is a typical example of someone whose actions sometimes outpace his thinking.

"Have you all forgotten the rule of not talking in line? Two hundred push-ups!"

The gray wolf pretended to have failed and said with a regretful expression.

Whether it's true or not, the newbies are happy to see their instructors get their comeuppance, even if they have to pay the price for it.

A sergeant emerged from the tent with a roster and called out Xiao Zhuang's name to the rookies who were doing push-ups.

"Next, Zhuang Yan."

"Yes!"

"Brothers, I'm going in first, you guys take your time."

When his name was called, Xiao Zhuang winked and said, "Push-ups are tiring; try to avoid them if you can."

Time passed slowly, and the newbies were called in one by one according to the roster for questioning.

In the afternoon, after the questions were answered, the newbies lined up neatly outside the tent.

Grey Wolf Mada first scanned each young face, then said, "First of all, congratulations on completing Hell Week training and successfully entering the second phase of the selection training camp."

Don't get too excited yet. At this stage, you will need to form small teams and continue training.

A team consists of twelve people; this is the standard operational unit organization for special forces.

The squad is composed of a squad leader, deputy squad leader, assault team, sniper team, demolition team, and communications and fire support team.

After the teams are divided, you can assign these positions yourselves.

"Rookies, this is both training and selection, so people can be eliminated at any time. Don't take any chances. Now, we'll group you according to the list..." Gray Wolf kindly reminded the group of somewhat excited rookies in front of him.

After being divided into groups, Changning, Xiaozhuang, Laopao, and Xiwa carried their weapons and equipment to the tent that bore the sign for Rookie Team A.

The four lifted the curtain and found that there were already people inside.

Qiangzi saw Chang Ning enter and quickly stood up, calling out, "Stand up!"

The rookies instinctively stood up and looked at the four people who had entered. Since Lao Pao was the squad leader of the other three, he was the first to come in, and the rookies were taken aback when they saw him.

Most of them held the same rank as the veterans, non-commissioned officers, so the veterans alone didn't qualify them to stand up.

However, when they saw Chang Ning, who was the last to enter, they were relieved. Although he looked younger than them, the "one-tenth" second lieutenant rank on his shoulder was real.

Chang Ning was still unaware of everyone's formality when Lao Pao quietly nudged him.

"Sit down, everyone. Why be so formal?"

Qiangzi replied solemnly, "Report! According to the regulations of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, you are an officer, so we should stand up!"

"What kind of cadre? Here, everyone has the same identity: what the Wolf Fang Special Forces call a rookie."

"Please, everyone, have a seat!"

Chang Ning took out a small stool and sat down casually, then invited everyone to join her.

After everyone relaxed and sat down, Chang Ning said, "From today onwards, we 12 are the Rookie Team A! I think none of us want to be eliminated after making it to the second round."

Grey Wolf said that the next step is group training, which means we will be working as a team from now on. It won't do if we don't know each other, so let's introduce ourselves first.

"I'll go first, from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, my name is Chang Ning."

Then Changning introduced Xiaozhuang, Xiwa, and Zheng Sanpao to everyone one by one.

Qiangzi sat on a stool and said, "I am Qiang Xiaowei from the Iron Eighth Company. You can just call me Qiangzi!"

Geng Jihui: "Geng Jihui, deputy squad leader of the first squad, second platoon of the elite reconnaissance company!"

Chang Ning glanced at Geng Jihui, who would later become the famous leader of Lone Wolf Group B, codenamed Forest Wolf.

This guy has exceptional personal qualities; his grades at the military academy, if not always the best, are certainly in the top ten.

Even before graduation, articles about special forces soldiers can be published in military newspapers.

The descendants of martyrs specifically submitted a report to the academy to scout out the troops in order to join the special forces.

In fact, given Geng Jihui's circumstances, he had every opportunity to go to a better platform, and his future development would definitely be better than being a special forces soldier.

The highest rank for special forces soldiers now is He Dadu (after the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade was upgraded to a special operations base).

'She's a person as pure as Chen Guotao!'

Chang Ning greatly admired these kinds of people; they were often very persistent, and persistent people are more likely to succeed.
