Special Forces: Rising from the Ashes of the Lone Wolf

The remaining four were promoted to second lieutenant, which is a normal promotion.

There was no exception, nor could there be any exceptions for everyone; it's somewhat regrettable.

As for being teased?

Really? When did that happen?

Alright, let's joke around then. Achieving our goal is more important than anything else!

"Sir, if we do it your way, how much time will it take?"

He Zhijun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I've already communicated with Gao Zhongjiang beforehand."

"If not today, send the report over tomorrow."

"The specific approval will be issued soon, and it should not be later than the time when the medals are issued."

It's all settled now. I feel much more at ease and relieved!

The next second, Lin Feng stood up to say goodbye, but was stopped by He Zhijun.

"Did you have a rocket stuck to your butt, kid?"

"You think you can just leave after you've finished your business? Sit down, you bastard."

Lin Feng sat down as instructed, smiling sheepishly, "Sir, I was afraid of taking up your precious time!"

"Come on, if you were going to delay, you would have done it already!"

He Zhijun said seriously, "I suppressed your promotion last time."

"This time, the merits are enormous and the achievements are dazzling, so it's likely that they won't be able to suppress them."

"So you'd better be prepared, understand?"

When it comes to matters concerning his own vital interests, Lin Feng cannot help but be cautious.

"Sir, I visited Lieutenant General Du the night before last."

"He said that a promotion that comes naturally shouldn't be suppressed..."

..............

Army Day is a special holiday for military personnel.

It should have been a time of joy, even celebration with singing and dancing.

However, in Shanghai, a scene of farewell unfolded at the gate of the Armed Police Academy.

Xia Dong, carrying her bag, was reluctantly saying goodbye to her sisters.

Our friendship as classmates has come to an end.

In the future, we may be separated by vast distances and never see each other again.

So even the resilient Xia Dong couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes at this moment.

"Sisters, the friendship between classmates is as deep as the sea and as precious as the ocean. Let us never forget it."

"Let's stay in touch, goodbye."

I didn't say much, lest I become even more upset.

Xia Dong turned around and quickly climbed into a waiting military vehicle.

The car started moving, and Xia Dong didn't wipe his eyes until he could no longer see the waving goodbye.

"Sir, soldiers shed blood but not tears. I'm sorry you had to see this!"

"Hehe, I've been in the military for decades and have seen this kind of thing many times. What's so funny about it?"

Zeng Shanlin shook his head with a smile: "The camp remains, but the soldiers come and go."

“Every year I say goodbye to batches of people with tears in my eyes, so I’m no longer sad.”

That's exactly right, and Xia Dong burst into laughter through her tears.

"Sir, I am so apprehensive that you have come to pick me up in person!"

"Haha, I did come here on purpose because I had a question that I wanted to clarify."

Upon hearing this, Xia Dong asked in surprise, "Commander, is it about me?"

“That’s right,” Zeng Shanlin nodded, “I’ve reviewed your training records in detail.”

“In many projects, they demonstrated very professional training skills.”

"For example, obstacle course, rappelling, and free climbing."

"The professional skills you demonstrated are reminiscent of special forces training."

"To some extent, it is comparable to, or even surpasses, the training level of headquarters."

"So this makes me very confused and puzzled, do you understand?"

Oh, so that's the problem!

Understanding dawned on her, Xia Dongyan smiled and asked, "Commander, is that why you value me?"

"No, no, those are two different things."

Zeng Shanlin said, "I value you because you have lofty ideals and pursuits."

"Most importantly, you have excellent qualities in all aspects, and you are hardworking and persistent enough."

"For soldiers, excellence is the standard."

"Effort and perseverance are equally indispensable!"

As he spoke, Zeng Shanlin turned to look at Xia Dong: "Now can you clear up my doubts?"

No problem, it's not a secret, there's no need to hide it.

Xia Dong nodded and said, "Reporting to the commander, my boyfriend taught me the training techniques."

"Your boyfriend? He's also a soldier?"

"Report, his name is Lin Feng, he is a captain in the Southeast Theater Command."

"Lin Feng from the Southeast Theater Command?"

Zeng Shanlin suddenly realized what was happening and laughed happily.

"So that's how it is. No wonder he taught him!"

Zeng Shanlin felt relieved, but Xia Dong was puzzled.

"Sir, from what you're saying, you know my boyfriend?"

"No, no, I don't know him!"

After gently shaking his head, Zeng Shanlin smiled and said, "Although I don't know your boyfriend, I've heard of his great reputation."

"Oh, what's his famous name?"

To be honest, Zeng Shanlin was somewhat taken aback by Xia Dong's suspicion.

"How could it not be?"

"Your boyfriend became famous overnight during the annual military exercise."

"He achieved an incredible feat of fighting against a thousand opponents single-handedly."

He is now hailed as "the bravest warrior in the three armies" and a contemporary war god.

"Isn't this already famous enough?"

Xia Dong was stunned, completely dumbfounded.

She had no idea that her boyfriend had such brilliant and outstanding achievements!

I had never mentioned it during our previous interactions or conversations.

It might not be deception, but there must have been some concealment, right?

Hmph, when we meet again, I'll definitely bite him to death...

"Xia Dong, Comrade Xia Dong?"

"Oh, sorry, sir, I was daydreaming."

Zeng Shanlin smiled and said, "Judging from your expression, you don't know how amazing your boyfriend is, do you?"

"Yes, sir, all I know is that he is a special forces soldier."

"Hmm, special forces, from the Wolf Fang?"

Suddenly, Zeng Shanlin slapped his forehead (good, good, good) with an expression of sudden realization!

"The annual military exercises are no secret."

"However, just yesterday, the military passed a resolution."

"The Wolf Fang Brigade and a certain assault team are awarded the Collective Special Merit, and all individuals are awarded the First-Class Merit."

"In peacetime, such an honor is extremely rare."

"Although the commando unit's designation is kept secret and has not been made public."
