I Can't Hide It Anymore In 1999, No Matter What, I Will Take Action

Chapter 14: Breaking the rules

Investiture ceremony?

The three of them looked at each other doubtfully.

What investiture ceremony?

To whom is the title awarded?

But obviously Chu Jian didn't want to explain too much here, so the three of them could only follow quickly.

When the three of them passed through the special training area, they discovered that all the soldiers in the guard area were gathered on the playground.

At this time, all the soldiers stood solemnly and neatly on the playground, with red flags fluttering in the wind.

The team of more than 2,000 people was so spectacular. Among the three, Hu Bayi was a veteran, so he immediately got into the mood, with a particularly serious face.

Although Wu Sangou and Zhang Qilin were not soldiers, they were both Chinese and had experienced a week of military training. When they saw this scene, they were immediately in awe.

Although they didn't know who was being awarded the title, it was obviously a major event in the security area.

However, Zhang Qilin quickly discovered that everyone looking over seemed to have a bit of curiosity in their eyes.

It was as if the three of them were the protagonists at this moment.

Before Zhang Qilin could think deeply, Chu Jian looked over and said meaningfully:

"Go ahead and stand on the flag stand."

"ah?"

Hu Bayi was a little stunned. He naturally knew that being able to stand there was an honor for a soldier.

"Chief, is this inappropriate?"

In response, Chu Jian smiled and shook his head:

"There's nothing inappropriate. If you don't confer titles on the flag stand, why don't you do it here?"

For a moment, Hu Bayi was stunned and quickly reacted:

"Chief, this is...our investiture ceremony?"

Hu Bayi's voice reached the ears of the two, which naturally surprised them.

Chu Jian nodded lightly:

"That's right, after you have passed the Hell Week training, you should be awarded the title.

After being awarded the title, you will also officially become a member of the 543 exploration team. "

There were expressions of surprise on the faces of the three people. They never thought that such a large-scale ceremony was actually prepared for the three of them.

At this time, Wu Changfeng stood at the front of the team, looking at Zhang Qilin and the others not far away.

Like all the soldiers, he was very puzzled by Chu Jian's arrangement.

The awarding of titles has always been a major event in the military.

It is an extremely sacred and solemn ceremony!

Forget about Hu Bayi, the other two don't look like soldiers at all, so why are they suddenly being awarded titles?

After one week of training, you can be considered a soldier?

This is too hasty!

Some of Hu Bayi's former comrades were naturally a little unbalanced.

Everyone joined the army in the same year, and Hu Bayi had no military merit. Why was he suddenly awarded the title?

Moreover, even if Hu Bayi is promoted to a military rank, he should be promoted to a private, right? How come he was directly promoted from private to sergeant?

The division of military ranks in the 1970s had not undergone several changes, so the rank of sergeant major did not exist.

Above the privates are privates, followed by non-commissioned officers, and above that are lieutenants, colonels, generals and marshals.

Because of this, the rest of the soldiers felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, judging from the time when Hu Bayi joined the army, he should be a first-class soldier by now.

But before, his mind was not on this at all. He was not subject to discipline and had no respect for others, so he was transferred to the engineering class.

Now, Hu Bayi has suddenly become a non-commissioned officer?

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit subtle, and everyone felt quite confused.

Chu Jian and the three of them slowly walked forward and stood on the flag stand in full view of everyone.

After scanning each soldier's body with calm eyes, Chu Jian finally spoke:

"Comrades, these days, I know that everyone has many doubts in their hearts.

Even including the current awarding ceremony, some people must feel uncomfortable.

Of the three people standing next to me, one of them is a veteran, but has never made any meritorious service, and the other two have only been in the army for just a week. How can they be qualified to be awarded titles? "

Chu Jian paused for a moment, and then continued:

“I understand the doubts in your hearts, and I don’t want to explain anything now.

All you need to know is that the 543 Exploration Team not only belongs to the Kunlun Guard Area, but also to the entire country.

The reason why they are qualified to be awarded the title is because the tasks they will face in the future are always near-death situations.

The enemies you meet, they will meet.

Enemies you cannot encounter will still be encountered by them.

The 543rd Exploration Team is not a special force, but it is a more complex and dangerous team than the special forces.

They want to guard the border, and even more secretly!

Your title, or even promotion of military rank, usually comes after you have established military merit.

But the reason why they are awarded the rank of non-commissioned officers now is because after joining the 543rd Exploration Team, every operation they perform may never come back.

To confer titles on them now is to commend them, because from now on, their lives will no longer be guaranteed.

What comes back is the protection of the entire country! "

Chu Jian's words sounded particularly passionate and even ambitious, but not many people could understand them.

All the soldiers and officers in the audience looked confused and couldn't even understand what mission could be so dangerous? Even the special forces would not dare to say that, right?

And the members of the special forces are only at the level of non-commissioned officers, right? Can this 543 exploration team compare to the special forces?

However, the high evaluation of the 543 Exploration Team from the mouth of the supreme commander of the station made everyone curious and also a little yearning in their hearts.

During the passionate national anthem, Chu Jian personally awarded the three men the rank of sergeant, which was very incomprehensible to other soldiers.

"Although Hu Bayi is a veteran, he has never made any achievements. Is it inappropriate to be promoted to non-commissioned officer?"

"There are two others who are not soldiers at all, right? But they were also awarded the same title?"

The soldiers' eyes were full of confusion and doubt. In their opinion, this was a very unreasonable thing.

Although the rank of corporal is not high, the three of them are an exception. Ordinary soldiers have the rank of non-commissioned officer. They either have meritorious service or have been in the army for a long time, otherwise they would never even think about it.

And now, all three of them have actually obtained the rank of corporal.

Although he is the lowest among the non-commissioned officers, he is still a non-commissioned officer!

This is the greatest scope of Chu Jian's abilities. As the regiment leader, he has the right to award the rank of non-commissioned officer to the soldiers in the regiment, because the highest level in the regiment is school level.

But if you want to get a higher military rank or military medal, you must report it to your superiors. Chu Jian alone cannot make the decision.

In the future, the 543 survey team will continue to expand its number. After all, the three people are only preliminary.

Later, Chu Jian will also apply to his superiors: all members who join the 543 exploration team will be awarded the rank of non-commissioned officer from the moment they join.

This is preferential treatment for the 543 Exploration Team, similar to the treatment of special forces, because they are destined to go through life and death in order to protect China and face dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine.

As for the promotion of the ranks of the team members, it depends on their performance in the mission.

…

Then, amidst the applause that was neither too warm nor too appreciative, the three of them walked off the flag stage in a haze, and they still can't come back to their senses even now.

Especially Wu Sangou. One second he was just a shady peasant, but now he is actually a non-commissioned officer.

Such changes made it even hard for him to believe.

After the investiture ceremony, Chu Jian and the three of them walked towards the rest area. All four of them remained silent along the way.

After a while, it was Hu Bayi who broke the silence first:

"Chief, thank you..."

Wu Sangou also wanted to say these words, but never said them out loud.

When Chu Jian heard this, he smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't thank me. As long as you join Unit 543, you can fully shoulder this honor. If you have military merit in the future, I will report it to you."

Wu Sangou said somewhat complicatedly:

“I never thought that I would have such a day.

The native master turned into a sergeant, just like in a dream.

But chief, I have always had a question, why is our team called the 543 Exploration Team? "

After hearing this, Chu Jian breathed out meaningfully:

"Five elements, four images, and three talents are the origin of the team's name.

This is what you will inevitably have to deal with next, so it is more in line with your team.

Mountains and rivers, dozens of large dragon veins, and hundreds of small dragon veins are all born of the five elements and four phenomena, and also appear because of the three talents.

You will understand after the mission is completed..."

The three of them thought Chu Jian's words were meaningful, but they didn't know that Chu Jian's eyes flashed with worry.

Although the three of them have passed the training, the danger they are about to face is immeasurable and cannot be compared to tomb robbing and fighting.

And can they do it...
