Early the next morning, Zhou Tian was pulled out of bed by several people. Murong Ting said angrily: "You are still sleeping and it's time to gather. If you don't go, you will be criticized."
Han Yu said coldly from the side: "Don't hold us back."
Zhou Tian sighed and put on his clothes. Following Murong Ting and Han Yu, he feebly came to the playground. The sky had just turned white now, and the playground was empty, not even a single person was seen.
Xia Lan and Ling Wei were already waiting on the playground. Xia Lan's face turned cold and she said, "I said we would gather at five o'clock, but it's already five past five. What's going on? Aren't my words an order?"
"
Murong Ting hummed: "It's not all your Zhou Tian who likes to sleep in. If it weren't for him, how could we be late?"
Xia Lan walked up to Zhou Tian and asked sternly: "Is this what happened?"
Zhou Tian murmured: "Yes, yes, it's too early, I can't get up."
"Okay, one point will be deducted from the assessment." Xia Lan said unceremoniously.
"What?" Zhou Tian shouted, "How can this be done? I was just a few minutes late, there was no need for this."
"Two points deducted." Xia Lan said still politely.
Zhou Tian muttered a few times and did not dare to speak out to object. I really don't know whether Xia Lan lost her temper with him because of what happened yesterday. Or because he was really late and was performing his due responsibilities as an instructor.
Maybe it was both. But no matter which way, Zhou Tian felt really speechless.
Seeing that Zhou Tian no longer spoke or lost his temper with him, Xia Lan shouted: "Let's go now." He and Ling Wei took the lead and led Zhou Tian and the others out of the school gate.
A special military vehicle parked at the school gate early. The five people got on the vehicle in accordance with the order. The driver was a strong man with a dark face. He grinned at the five people and said: "Welcome." Then he started the car and rushed out.
School.
The car left the city and turned onto the highway. After driving for more than an hour, it came to a dense forest. To Zhou Tian's surprise, the dense forest split automatically, revealing a wide road.
The car drove into the wide road and soon reached a trough. The trough was very large and artificially modified, and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. This was a secret place in the Jiangzhou Military Division.
military base.
The car stopped in front of a steel gate. The driver got out and said to the five people: "The leaders are all inside. They are waiting for you."
Xia Lan said: "Thank you." She led Zhou Tian and the others to the gate. After the camera at the door confirmed their identities, the gate opened. The five people straightened their clothes and walked in.
Arriving at a conference room, Xia Lan shouted: "Report." Then she heard a majestic voice coming from inside: "Come in."
Xia Lan pushed the door open and walked in, and the other four people also walked in. They saw three people sitting in the conference room, two of whom were Fu Yi and the other Zhou Xiaotian.
The last one was an old man in his sixties. He was wearing a straight military uniform and looked very energetic. Zhou Tian took a peek and saw three general stars pinned to his shoulders.
That's a first-class general.
Fuyi said: "The five of you find a seat and sit down."
"Yes." Xia Lan felt strange in her heart. Wasn't it said that it was a special military training? How could it alert a first-level national general to come? It seemed that there was something weird in it.
Full of questions, Xia Lan found a seat and sat down. Zhou Tian didn't dare to look carefree at this time, and the whole atmosphere seemed very serious.
Fuyi saw the five people sitting down and said: "Let me introduce to you first. This is Commander Xu Bingxu, Vice Chairman of our Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief of the Yanjing Military Region."
The five people stood up in unison and saluted.
Commander Xu chuckled and said: "Stop being so polite and sit down." He glanced at the five people, and finally focused on Zhou Tian, and asked with a smile: "Are you Zhou Tian?"
"Yes." When Zhou Tian was about to stand up, Commander Xu stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite. You have a great reputation now. The entire Military Commission has begun to know your name. The chairman has been in front of me more than once.
I have praised you. What you did in Jiangzhou is really good."
Zhou Tian didn't understand these rules. He felt embarrassed when he was praised by Commander Xu. He smiled shyly and said, "This is not my fault alone. Many outstanding soldiers paid the price with their lives for this."
.They are very brave and worthy of admiration. They are the heroes we should remember."
Commander Xu nodded and said: "Very good, you are all good. The country will never forget those who sacrificed their lives, let alone the people."
Zhou Tian felt quite sad when he thought of the brutality of that battle.
Commander Xu paused and then continued: "I came to you today because I have an important task for you. I have discussed it with Director Fu and Commander Zhou, and we all think it is most appropriate to send you. Moreover, this is also an important task.
A special kind of military training.”
Xia Lan was startled and couldn't help but ask: "Commander Xu, what's your mission?"
Commander Xu said: "You must all know about this international military exercise."
The five of them all nodded as instructed and waited for Commander Xu's next words.
Commander Xu said: "We have received information that the Penglai Kingdom intends to use this military exercise to plot against the southwest region of our country. The location of this international military exercise is in the southwest region of our country. It is a military exercise in name, but in fact it is a military exercise against that area.
To combat drug trafficking groups. As we all know, those drug trafficking groups have committed numerous crimes, and the country has always wanted to wipe them out."
"However, these drug trafficking groups are involved in many countries and have their own armed personnel. Coupled with the complex terrain, it is not easy to eliminate them in one fell swoop."
"In recent years, drug trafficking groups have become extremely rampant in the world, causing international public outrage. This is why this international military exercise was launched. However, we have received reliable news that the Penglai State intends to use this exercise to attack the southwest of our country.
Conduct terrain survey in the area. If once they learn about our military arrangements there, the impact will be very bad."
Xia Lan asked: "Chief, what is our mission?"
Commander Xu said: "In the southwest of our country, there is a huge drug trafficking group. They have two to three hundred armed personnel, as well as a large number of practitioners. These people are extremely vicious and commit many crimes, and the local people are extremely angry.
Big. Your mission is to find this drug trafficking group, unite with the local army, and eliminate them. Then you will cooperate with the local defenders to prevent the Penglai people from entering our territory."
Xia Lan said firmly: "Please rest assured, chief, we promise to complete the task."
Commander Xu chuckled and said: "Very good, if you have confidence, we are half successful. But this time, your task is very heavy and quite dangerous. Those drug traffickers are all extremely vicious people and quite cunning."
We haven't collected much intelligence about them. You still have to rely on yourself for everything."
Xia Lan said: "We know that we will take advantage of the opportunity to act."
Commander Xu smiled and said: "Just now, Director Fu and Commander Zhou and I were discussing who would be more suitable to command this operation. In the end, we unanimously decided that Zhou Tian should be the commander."
"Me?" Zhou Tian looked at everyone in shock and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it. The last time I faced a poisonous person, it was just a fluke. What's more, those poisonous people are unconscious, and they are different from those cunning drug dealers.
. I'm afraid I'm not qualified."
Commander Xu said: "There is a reason for our decision. Now we only need a word from you. Do you have the confidence to complete this mission?"
Zhou Tian pondered for a while, raised his head, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes."
Commander Xu nodded approvingly and said: "Okay, it's good to have confidence. This time you are fighting in the jungle, which is a brand new challenge for you. I did not send experienced commanders to command you. Firstly, because I sent these experienced commanders
, will attract the attention of Penglai Kingdom."
"As far as we know, all experienced commanders in our country have files with them, so they cannot move them. Secondly, experienced commanders are easily blinded by their own experience and will not think creatively. Instead, they will be confused about the mission.
The completion of it will have a very negative impact. Third, I believe you can accept such a challenge, and it will also be a good training opportunity for you."
Zhou Tiandao: "Please rest assured, chief, we will complete the task and will never embarrass the country."
Commander Xu said: "Eliminating drug traffickers is only one of the tasks. The most important thing is to guard the southwest gate and never let people from Penglai country in. After all, this is an international military exercise, so this gives the Penglai people an excuse."
Zhou Tian asked tentatively: "If Penglai's army invades, do we have the right to fight back?"
Commander Xu said: "Since it is a military exercise, you naturally have the right to fight back. If they dare to come forcefully, fight. The fight will make them afraid."
"Yes." Zhou Tian stood up and saluted.
Commander Xu motioned Zhou Tian to sit down and said: "In terms of personnel allocation, I will give you thirty places. If you have more, there will be too much noise. You can choose these thirty people at will in the special brigade, and we will fully support you."
"
Zhou Tian thought for a while and said: "Director Fu, I want to ask you for someone. Tianyun, someone from the Jiangzhou City National Security Bureau."
Fuyi smiled and said: "I knew your boy would ask me for this person, and I have already prepared it for you. He is on call at any time."
Zhou Tian smiled and said: "Thank you, Director Fu. In addition to Tianyun and Uncle Wu, you must also give me the ten or so people I asked for from you. Also, I want to participate in the poisonous man operation last time.
Select twenty people from the detachment."
Zhou Xiaotian said: "You brat, you are good at choosing people. Those are the elites of my special team. You must bring them back to me safely."
Zhou Tiandao: "I will do my best to ensure their safety. Those are good soldiers. I have completed the mission, and these people will all be given to me."
