Chapter 882 Flower Language

"Count!"

"1!" "2!" "3!" ..... "18!" ....

...

In front of the majestic Northern Column Headquarters building, Zhang Jingyu, Hu Zhiming and 20 other military academy students from the 2nd Infantry Brigade of Yezhou were fully armed.

He wore a low-profile tactical helmet produced in the Zhanjiang Military Industrial Zone, a starry sky camouflage training uniform, a half-person-high camouflage backpack, a cross-body camouflage work bag, and a QBZ-191 assault rifle in his arms.

Under the lighting of the headquarters building above their heads, every cadet, even though their brows were filled with fatigue, still tried their best to tense every muscle in their body, straighten their chests, lean forward, and raise their heads to accept the inspection by the commander of the Northern Column, Qiao Yingkai.

Qiao Yingkai was the first battalion commander of the training battalion in the Zhongzhou Theater. After completing the training of the first batch of recruits in the Chongyi gathering area, he was transferred to become the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade in Yezhou.

During his tenure as brigade commander, he led his troops to participate in the Zhanjiang Defense Battle, the Jiangjin Recapture Operation, and many actual combat training missions.

During the battle to recapture Yucheng, he was appointed commander of the East Column by Lu Chong, commander of the Yucheng Military Region.

Qiao Yingkai is about 1.7 meters tall and has an inverted triangle body shape. He looks like a sturdy bull. His exaggerated muscles make his training uniform bulge out, giving him a very powerful look.

He has a wild and rough temperament. If he were in ancient times, he would either be a reckless man or a fierce general.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the phalanx of cadets from the 2nd Infantry Brigade of Yezhou. As his slightly narrowed eyes swept over, the cadets present all felt a palpitation like a steel knife scraping across their hearts.

In this regard, Ho Chi Minh, who was standing in the square, couldn't help but complain in his heart. His brigade commander's eyes were so small, how could he be so sharp?

Could it be that the smaller the force-bearing area, the greater the pressure? ?

Good, good, no wonder teachers always said, "Learn math, physics and chemistry well, and you won't be afraid to travel around the world." This can actually be explained?

Why is my face burning? Did I get sunburned during the daytime battle?

Just as Ho Chi Minh was thinking about the unsolved mystery that happened to him, Qiao Yingkai, who was standing in front of the square, finally spoke, his voice as loud as ever:

"Stand at attention! Stand at ease~~"

Boom~

As Qiao Yingkai gave the order, the 2 military academy cadets from the 20nd Infantry Brigade of Yezhou present worked as one, with almost no noise being heard.

"Very good, everyone is in high spirits!" Seeing this pleasing queue quality, Qiao Yingkai was very satisfied.

"Comrades, first of all, I want to congratulate you all! Congratulations to everyone for passing the various selections and assessments and standing out to be here!"

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa~~

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into warm applause, and the applause of 20 people sounded like the sound of hundreds of people.

Seeing this, Qiao Yingkai's smile widened. He liked soldiers who "attacked with great force" and "fiercely".

What kind of killing power can a soldier who can't even fart have on the battlefield?

After a brief pause, Qiao Yingkai slightly raised his right hand, and the entire audience immediately became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. You could even faintly hear the breathing of some military academy cadets after their intense applause.

"To be honest, I was very worried about you at first. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to compete with other cadets from regular troops after you arrived at the military academy."

"But now I realize that I was wrong. After continuous training and fighting, you have truly grown into a qualified fighter compared to a few months ago!"

“This is something to be encouraged and you can be proud of it in your hearts!”

"But that's not what I want to talk about today. Everyone is standing here. I believe that in your respective battalions and companies, compliments have long been a daily routine!"

"So I think it's necessary to pour some cold water on you today and cool you down. Don't be so complacent, because there is still a long way to go! You are just fledglings that have just broken out of their shells!"

"In other words, you're still a long way off!"

"Some people may not agree with what I said, thinking that they are the vanguard of the battalion and company, and being one of the only 20 in the entire brigade is a kind of pride in itself!"

"I don't know if you have ever thought about this in private. If it weren't for the love of the theater leaders, and in order to give you more opportunities, they directly banned the core squad leaders of each infantry brigade from participating in the selection of military academy admission quotas this year, how many of you would still be able to stand here?"

Hearing this, all the military academy students present narrowed their eyes slightly and couldn't help but ask themselves.

In the end, almost 90% of the students silently gave themselves a negative response...

This made their originally happy emotions complicated instantly. Some people felt disappointed, some were thankful, and some were even more delighted.

Seeing the students' thoughtful expressions, Qiao Yingkai, having achieved his goal, changed his tone:

"But you don't need to have any mental baggage. After all, luck is also a part of strength. As long as you are lucky enough, maybe I will have to salute you in the future."

Speaking of this joke, even Qiao Yingkai himself couldn't help laughing, but at the same time it also aroused the ambitions hidden in the hearts of the military academy cadets off the field.

"Brigade Commander, stand at attention and salute yourself?"

Hiss~ It would be so cool if there is such a day!! When the time comes, let him stand up and say it!

...

After Qiao Yingkai finished speaking, he immediately noticed the obvious fascination on the faces of some of the students below.

Okay, okay, I'm just making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, you guys really dare to think like that!

Humph, don’t fall into my hands when you graduate from the military academy. Do you still want to shit and pee on my head?

Thinking of this, Qiao Yingkai showed an ambiguous smile, and at the same time, his squinted eyes stayed on the faces of some students.

However, despite thinking this, Qiao Yingkai was still heartened by the students' fearless enthusiasm.

These are the soldiers I lead!

As his thoughts flowed, Qiao Yingkai's mood quickly improved.

The 2nd Infantry Brigade of Yezhou was where he had poured a lot of effort. Not only did he look familiar with these outstanding students, he also recognized any soldier from the 2nd Brigade who came in front of him.

From the time he personally went to the Chongyi gathering place to recruit soldiers until now, during such a long period of time, he has communicated with almost every soldier of the 2nd Brigade. The bond established by such hard work is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

And as your position gets promoted in the future, it is highly likely that you will no longer have such bonds.

Thinking of this and looking at these students who were ready to go, Qiao Yingkai couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

What’s the difference between this and the son I raised since childhood?

cough~

"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Let me finally tell you what I want from you!"

Hearing this, serious expressions appeared on the faces of the students present.

"I don't ask for anything else from you. I don't ask for your grades or your future. I just ask that no matter what you do, you must be like a man and be fierce!"

"I despise those sissy, polite and civilized soldiers the most! What kind of man is he if he's not rude? So no matter what you do, even if it's just shitting or farting, you have to show me the temperament of the 2nd Brigade!"

"Even if you are not as skilled as others, you must face it like a man!!!"

"yes!!!!!"

As soon as the words came out, all the students responded in unison.

"Give me my flowers!"

Hearing this, the column officer nearby immediately brought out a tray filled with various unknown wild flowers, some of which were wilted.

Seeing this, Qiao Yingkai showed a rare shy expression and explained a little embarrassedly:

"I sent people to look for them as soon as I received the news, but the conditions around our column headquarters are like this. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, but we can't lose our tradition."

"Come on, if I remember correctly, your name is Zhang Jingyu, right?"

"Report to the commander, yes!" Zhang Jingyu answered loudly with red eyes and a hoarse voice.

"Hey~ Turtle's voice is a bit loud!"

Qiao Yingkai scratched his shocked ears, then took out a small yellow flower with two petals missing from the tray.

"Come, I'll put it on for you. I hope you can be like this flower in the future!"

At this point, Qiao Yingkai became interested and asked casually, "Does anyone know what the language of these flowers is?"

As soon as the words fell, students in the back row immediately responded, and the 2nd Brigade's unique loud voices echoed throughout the audience:

"Commander, you mean that even if we come from a poor family and are not good enough, we should not give up hope, right?!"

"No, I want you to be the winner without doing anything!"

"Just like this flower, it's not of the right variety, and its color is not of the right quality, but wasn't it also taken to the night market to see the chief?"

Audience: .......

.....

最后

As the sky gradually brightened, with the roar of engines, the convoy carrying 40 students from the Northern Column rolled over the intersection between day and night and quickly disappeared in the direction of the rising sun...

In the biting cold wind, Qiao Yingkai stood at the farewell gate for nearly ten minutes before turning around and leaving at the reminder of the staff officer...
