Chapter 406: You can shoot too? Come on? [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly pass!]

Shortly after entering school, Zhao Weihong learned from Deputy Commander Wei that the Military Games would be held.

Zhao Weihong recalled it carefully.

Although he had known Deputy Chief Wei for such a long time, it was the first time that he saw Deputy Chief Wei with a complex expression mixed with anger, frustration, jealousy and the desire to vent.

Deputy Chief Wei has been suppressed for too long.
The motherland has been suppressed for too long!
They are eager to prove themselves and roar to the world from the ancient Eastern power, in order to declare their re-emergence among the nations of the world!
Even Zhao Weihong was infected by this emotion. He practiced hard, vowing to let those arrogant guys see what a “Yan Country soldier” is!

However, there is no news about the Military Games yet.

It was only when talking with Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu that Zhao Weihong obtained some sporadic information.

Zhao Weihong has been looking forward to the news about the Military Games and is looking forward to its arrival!

And now, Zhao Weihong has finally waited for it!

And it was a very formal “red-headed document”. All military units above the division level received this notice.

It is clear.

Although it will take more than half a year for the Military Games to officially begin.

But the relevant preparatory work has been officially put on the agenda and has even begun!

With this in mind, Zhao Weihong did not dare to delay and immediately read the document in his hand very carefully, for fear of missing any important points.

Simply put, the main content of this notice is to require all colleges, grassroots organizations, and government agencies to determine and report the list of participants for the Military Games on the same day as they receive the notice.

That’s right.

If ordinary soldiers want to participate in the Military Games, they generally have to go through the “organization recommendation” method.

Only after a series of procedures including democratic selection and public announcement can the parties concerned obtain the qualification to participate in the Military Games training.

As for whether one can eventually “go for the country”, it depends on the performance of the person concerned during the training period.

A team of about a hundred people.

There may be hundreds or even thousands of trainees behind them!

Those training participants who were unable to play for the country can only cheer in the audience and watch others, or in other words, their other selves, win glory for the country on the field!

All the sweat and blood they shed during the training, as well as the hard work and persistence they put in, will be in vain!

No one knows their names.

No one knows the efforts they have made.

The contestants on the stage carried the expectations and cheers of the people across the country, and we applauded them for their wonderful performances.

And almost no one would care about the lonely and unwilling looks in the audience except themselves.

The process is cruel.

However, in order to present the highest level of Yan Country’s military sports in front of the people of the whole country and the soldiers from all over the world.

This kind of “cruel” selection is indispensable in any case.

From the first day you choose to join the training camp.

Every trainee understood this principle.

However, not all contestants in the Military Games are selected from various units through democratic selection processes.

There is a small group of soldiers who have already secured a considerable number of training places without any selection or review!
These people are members of the “Bayi Sports Team” within the army, who were specially formed to cope with major sporting events.

Ordinary soldiers, in addition to daily training, standing guard, and political studies, may also have to participate in the management of the troops. The task can be said to be very heavy.

As soldiers, the only task of the members of the Bayi Sports Team is to train in the sports of their choice day after day, year after year.

Fortunately, the heroic spirit of Yan’s athletes and soldiers can be displayed at home and even on the world stage!
Shooting Military Pentathlon Triathlon
In addition to these events with strong military attributes, the Bayi Sports Team also has some athletes who specialize in “strange” events.

For example, fencing, horse riding, and basketball shooting, that is, pure basketball shooting.
It is clear.

These events, which are highly performance-oriented, are incompatible with the atmosphere of the Military Games, or the current era.

It’s the 21st century now, why are there still people who want to take cold weapons and fight others on the battlefield?
Anyway, Zhao Weihong had never seen anyone in the army practicing fencing.

As for equestrianism, there is no need to mention it. The name itself carries a whiff of petty-bourgeois arrogance!
Say something from your heart.

Zhao Weihong actually doesn’t want to see these projects appear in the official project list.

Because in Zhao Weihong’s view, this kind of event seemed a bit frivolous and detached from the ordinary people, as if it was an event specially prepared for “noble lords”. It was really far from the word “soldier” in the “World Military Games”.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

This is the first time that the Military World Games has come to Asia since its inception, and it is also the first time that it has been held outside of Europe.

From a certain perspective, the Military Games is an event to “recall glory” held by European countries with slack military, relying on their own international influence.

In this case, it is not surprising that there are so many projects that seem to be specially prepared for “noble lords”.

Their navy and air force, especially the pilots and officers there, are basically all so-called “royal nobles” three generations up, either of this title or that king.

Although with the passage of time, more and more children from ordinary families have proved their abilities.

However, the proportion of these nobles in European troops has not decreased, but has continued to increase as the total number of troops has decreased!
It is obviously unlikely to ask this group of so-called “aristocrats” to lower their status, roll in the mud and sweat.

And events such as fencing naturally came into being.

Elegant and stylish.

In their words, “This is a gentleman’s sport.”

to be honest.

There are many events in modern sports that are just for the “self-entertainment” of the old Western aristocrats.

But relying on the position and international influence occupied by the West, they are able to “entertain themselves” and promote it as a must-attend project for all countries in the world that want to show their talents on the international stage!
And this, from a certain perspective, is a different kind of “cultural hegemony.”

No matter how reluctant it was, Yan State had to hold its nose and send people to participate in these projects.

At this moment, Yan Country really wants to “show its face” on the international stage and needs the right to speak on the international stage. It also wants to take this opportunity to prove that Yan Country has the ability to host large-scale international events and to run them well!
To this end, teams such as the “Fencing Team” and the “Equestrian Team” came into being within the Bayi Sports Team.

These athletes come from ordinary families, have gone through layers of selection and joined the Bayi Sports Team. They are active-duty soldiers.

The only thing to do on the field is to beat these Western “nobles” in the events that they think they are best at!

And the Military Games will not only include this kind of event, otherwise it would be too “unworthy of its name”.

Among the many projects with military attributes, physical fitness and teamwork of soldiers are emphasized to the extreme.

The most valuable and entertaining event is the military pentathlon, which is recognized as the “first event of the Military Games”!

Short and medium range rifle shooting, 50m obstacle swimming, grenade throwing, m obstacle course, km cross country.

These five events, each with a strong military flavor in their names, have come together to form the most competitive, exciting, and demanding events of the Military Games!

Every athlete participating in the Military Games knows this.

Military pentathlon is the “uncrowned king” of the Military Games, a sporting event held for soldiers from all over the world!

If a country wins first place in the military pentathlon, the value of the award may be greater than that of winning first place in the number of medals, or even first place in the number of gold medals!

Looking back at all the Military Games.

The first place in the five military events has always been taken by old military powers such as the United States and Russia.

The best result of the Yan State team in this event was the third place won by the Bayi Military Pentathlon Team in the last Military Games.

This result is already excellent for Yan State, which has just entered the international stage.

But in the eyes of the athletes, as well as the Bayi Sports Team, the teachers and leaders of the General C Military Training Department.

This achievement is not an honor, but a shame!

Or don’t fight.

If you want to compete, you must be the first!

This is the pride that runs in the blood of the Yan people, and it is also the pride that every Yan soldier is determined to defend to the death!
Especially this year’s Military Games are held in Yan Country.

The first place in the military pentathlon must not be taken away by other countries!
We must keep the championship at home!

This is the goal of every athlete who wants to participate in the Military Games, and it is also the cry and roar from the deepest part of Zhao Weihong’s heart!

That’s right.

The reason why Zhao Weihong practiced obstacle courses intensively during this period of time was because he was preparing to participate in the military pentathlon competition!
To be precise, Zhao Weihong wants to join the military pentathlon team and compete for the country!

It is naturally impossible for Zhao Weihong to participate in only this one project.

But he is just like any other athlete.

In Zhao Weihong’s mind, the importance of the five military items ranks first!

As long as she can win the gold medal in the military pentathlon, even if Zhao Weihong fails in all other events, it will be enough to “report” to Deputy Commander Wei!

Seeing Zhao Weihong in a daze, Yan Wenyuan smiled secretly and greeted Zhao Weihong kindly.

“Wei Hong, the tea is getting cold.”

Hearing this, Zhao Weihong suddenly came back to her senses, smiled embarrassedly at Yan Wenyuan, then picked up the tea in front of her and drank it all.

Seeing this, the corners of Yan Wenyuan’s mouth twitched, and he thought it was a waste of resources like a cow chewing on a peony!
How can you drink tea like this!
Zhao Weihong’s mind was obviously not on drinking tea.

After placing the teacup on the table, Zhao Weihong couldn’t wait to ask Yan Wenyuan.

“Principal, when will the personnel for training be reported, and when will the training begin?”

Seeing Zhao Weihong so enthusiastic about the Military Games.

Yan Wenyuan couldn’t help but shook his head.

“Aren’t you going to ask about the teaching materials first?”

Having said that, Yan Wenyuan looked at Zhao Weihong’s slightly confused expression and began to explain to her.

“You brat, you don’t think it’s easy to get those awards you participated in this time, do you?”

“Let me tell you this, any of these awards, as long as you can get them, is enough to make an associate professor become a full professor!”

“And they are also eligible to enjoy the special allowances for technical talents granted by the state.”

“Don’t underestimate it as an allowance, but this money is more than your salary after becoming an officer!”

“Honor and material things are all involved!”

“But I see you don’t care at all.”

Facing Yan Wenyuan’s gaze that was slightly disappointed with him, Zhao Weihong smiled faintly and said casually.

“If I was going for these things, I would not have participated in the compilation of this textbook, let alone come to HKUST!”

“The textbook writing work has already been completed. Although the remaining matters are somewhat related to me, they are not something I can control, so naturally there is nothing for me to worry about.”

“On the contrary, for this Military World Games, you should know that I signed a military order in front of the commander, so I have to bring back a few more gold medals, right?”

“not to mention”

Speaking of which.

Zhao Weihong touched his head, smiled foolishly, and seemed a little embarrassed.

But after thinking for a moment, Zhao Weihong thought that Yan Wenyuan was not an outsider either, so she explained shyly.

“When I was at Deputy Chief Wei’s house, I met Mr. Yu.”

Yan Wenyuan: “!!!”

“Which fisherman?”

“You went to Yanjing and even met him?”

“Um”

Zhao Weihong nodded and continued speaking very seriously.

“I signed a new military order in front of Mr. Yu and Deputy Chief Wei, and I will take the gold medal to visit their homes, and I will also take Jingshu with me.”

“Principal, think about it, if I want to achieve this goal, I must at least get two gold medals, right?”

“Although there are many events in the military pentathlon, there is only one gold medal in the end.”

“To be on the safe side, I have to participate in at least three additional events!”

“Others only need to prepare one project in the past six months, but I have to prepare four projects, or even more!”

“Can you not be anxious?”

The words fell.

Yan Wenyuan stared at Zhao Weihong blankly for a long time, then nodded with an indescribable expression.

“That is something that should be taken seriously.”

He took a deep breath, as if to calm his shocked and turbulent heart.

Yan Wenyuan poured himself a cup of tea while thinking silently.

When the tea was almost overflowing from the cup, Yan Wenyuan, who was a little distracted, put down the teapot and looked at Zhao Weihong again. “You don’t have to worry about the textbook selection.”

“Our school will take care of it for you.”

“However, no external contact is allowed during the training period.”

“Even if we can get in touch with you, we have to wait until you come back from the Military Games before we can hold an award ceremony for you.”

“Hiss, it seems that if you come back with a gold medal, wouldn’t the two commendation ceremonies held for you at school be held at the same time?”

Hearing this, Zhao Weihong chuckled and said confidently.

“Principal, good things are worth waiting for!”

“It’s my honor, that’s mine!”

“It doesn’t matter when you get it!”

“Humph! You are so arrogant!”

“Don’t let the time pass by when you don’t get a single medal back. No need to be the chief, I’ll teach you a lesson first!”

When saying this, Yan Wenyuan used a joking tone.

However, Zhao Weihong seemed to take Yan Wenyuan’s words seriously. She stood up and made the promise word by word, each word weighing a heavy weight.

“Principal, don’t worry.”

“I will not bring shame to our school, let alone our country!”

“No matter who stands in front of me, I will let him see what our country’s soldiers rely on, so that those ambitious people around him will not dare to act rashly!”

Looking at Zhao Weihong’s extremely serious and solemn expression.

There’s no need to mention how relieved Yan Wenyuan felt!

Even if you, Xie Guoliang, are poached by Wei Hong, so what?
Wei Hong will always be a member of our USTC!
And half a year later, Wei Hong will bring glory to the country as a “science university student”!
You, Xie Guoliang, can only envy them!

“it is good!”

Yan Wenyuan stood up suddenly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and gestured to Zhao Weihong.

“Then I would like to congratulate you in advance today on your successful competition and your triumphant return!”

“Thank you, principal!”

The next day.

The last member of the HKUST iron triangle, Yang Shaowu, returned to HKUST.

When they first met, the three members of the “Iron Triangle” were happier than each other.

However, soon, Yang Shaowu was just like Huang Xuefeng yesterday and couldn’t laugh anymore.

who am I?
where am I?
Who is this female student who shouted “be good” to Zhao Weihong?

Looking at Yang Shaowu standing there, doubting his life.

Huang Xuefeng was secretly delighted, thinking that finally someone was there to share this pain with him!

But that night.

During dinner, Zhao Weihong informed Huang Xuefeng and Yang Shaowu that she would leave the day after tomorrow to participate in the selection and training for the Military Games.

In fact, the formal selection will not begin for another week.

But Yan Wenyuan seemed to be aware of the importance of this Military Games to Zhao Weihong, and directly arranged for Zhao Weihong’s “partner” and immediate superior, the captain of the new training brigade Huang Yong, to accompany Zhao Weihong to Yanjing to familiarize himself with the venue in advance.

Zhao Weihong had a premonition.

Compared to the gold medal.

What Yan Wenyuan wanted to see more was the scene where he led Lin Jingshu to stand in front of Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu.
I don’t know if it was Zhao Weihong’s own illusion.
After Huang Xuefeng and Yang Shaowu learned about this, in addition to cheering Zhao Weihong on, they also felt inexplicably relieved.

Although I won’t be able to train and improve with Zhao Weihong for the next six months, it’s a bit regrettable.
But compared to the “miserable life” of having to eat tons of dog food from time to time, Huang Xuefeng and Yang Shaowu felt that Zhao Weihong’s participation in the competition was actually quite good.
As for other students, Zhao Weihong did not notify them.

Firstly, their relationship was not that serious, and secondly, the news that Zhao Weihong did not want him to participate in the training camp had become known to everyone.

The current campus atmosphere at HKUST has undergone tremendous changes compared to half a year ago. Regardless of the students’ grade, the styles of their work on campus are tougher than each other!

Such a great improvement is all thanks to Zhao Weihong, the instructor of the new training brigade and the captain of the school spirit inspection team.

However, Zhao Weihong also knows that the current “good situation” of USTC can only be regarded as a temporary “appearance” and has not formed a trend that can really be passed down.

This person is Zhao Weihong.

No matter what you do, don’t have the habit of giving up halfway.

The school spirit of USTC needs to be improved. This was the goal Zhao Weihong set when she first entered the school.

He didn’t want to wait until he came back and see the atmosphere at HKUST return to what it used to be.

He simply concealed the news of his participation in the training camp for the time being, so that other students would not guess what Zhao Weihong was doing, let alone when Zhao Weihong would come back.

In this way, even if Zhao Weihong is not at USTC, she can still be the “Sword of Damocles” hanging over the heads of every student, preventing them from acting rashly!

But there is one person.

Zhao Weihong had to tell her the “truth” no matter what.

That’s right.

It’s Lin Jingshu.

The relationship was just confirmed a few days ago.

Zhao Weihong will be away for half a year.

By the time Zhao Weihong returns to USTC, it should be the end of the year, which makes Zhao Weihong feel a little guilty.

However, Lin Jingshu didn’t seem to care about all this at all.

To be precise.

Lin Jingshu had already been prepared for this and all kinds of sudden separations in the future.

Seeing Zhao Weihong’s faintly guilty look, Lin Jingshu suddenly reached out and touched Zhao Weihong’s cheek.

“It’s nothing. It’s not like you won’t be coming back.”

“You are busy with important things outside, how can I hinder you?”

Lin Jingshu’s soft voice echoed in Zhao Weihong’s ears.

His heart, which was filled with guilt and anxiety, calmed down instantly.

So peaceful.

Looking at Lin Jingshu who was nagging me in front of me, telling me to “eat on time and have a good rest”.

Zhao Weihong’s mind moved, and she suddenly grabbed Lin Jingshu’s small hand that was touching her cheek.

“Remember the white dress I gave you?”

The words fell.

Lin Jingshu looked at Zhao Weihong blankly, not understanding why Zhao Weihong suddenly brought up this, but still nodded very seriously.

“remember.”

“Don’t keep it in your bag as a treasure. When you have nothing to do, take it out and try it on to see if it suits you or what style of skirt you like.”

Having said this, Zhao Weihong took a deep breath, and a hint of relief suddenly appeared in his complicated expression.

“When I come back, I’ll give you another dress.”

“A dress I made myself.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jing’s dark pupils suddenly widened, as if he had not expected that Zhao Weihong, who looked “big and strong”, could actually have such a “unique skill!”

However, Lin Jingshu did not ask where Zhao Weihong learned this “unique skill” from, nor did he question whether Zhao Weihong could make clothes.

Instead, with a smile mixed with excitement and joy on his face, he nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that Zhao Weihong would go back on her word.

“Okay, keep your word!”

Looking at Lin Jingshu, she was excited but also a little shy.

Zhao Weihong slightly increased the strength in her hands and smiled.

“Of course.”

Yanjing, western suburbs.

The “base” of the August 1st Military Sports Team.

It’s not so much a station.

It would be better to say that this is one of the very few modern military sports training grounds in Yan Country that is highly comprehensive.

The gymnastics hall, shooting range, horse racing track, swimming pool and other venues covering a large area are all equipped with everything.

Not only that.

There are also various special training facilities built according to the requirements of the Military Games, such as a 500-meter obstacle course, etc.

Zhao Weihong, dressed in casual uniform and holding the rank of cadet, stood in front of the sentry at the gate with Huang Yong to register.

Not long after, Zhao Weihong finally walked into the place where she would live for more than half a year in the future.

It may be due to its proximity to the capital, or it may be due to sufficient funding.

The environment inside the base is very good. Various modern-style buildings can be seen everywhere. Large signs are hung above various venues to indicate their specific uses.

Maybe it’s because we arrived too early.

Although the sentry had already informed the duty room of Zhao Weihong’s arrival.

But no one came out to greet Zhao Weihong and Huang Yong, and there was no one training outside.

It’s still a bit cold in Yanjiao in February.

Just as Huang Yong, who was a little trembling, was about to take Zhao Weihong to the main building to “introduce themselves”.

Zhao Weihong followed the intermittent sounds of gunfire and walked towards a venue not far away.

Following the direction Zhao Weihong was heading, three eye-catching red signs immediately came into view.

【Shooting Range】

Open the heavy door and lift the thick cotton curtain.

While isolating himself from the cold wind, the sound of gunfire next to Zhao Weihong’s ears suddenly became clear.

“Bang! Bang bang bang!”

Follow the sound and look.

Zhao Weihong saw a team of more than 20 people, led by a middle-aged man, conducting live-ammunition shooting.

Seeing this, Zhao Weihong’s heart warmed and he couldn’t help but walk over.

Seeing this, Huang Yong had no choice but to follow.

The team in front of us is training.

Zhao Weihong and the other person didn’t want to disturb them, so they just stood not far away and watched attentively.

The figures of the two of them seemed to have been ignored by the people who were training. No one looked in their direction, and no one paid any attention to them.

Until the gunfire stopped, the team members in sportswear left their shooting positions.

The middle-aged man in charge of the team then looked in the direction of Zhao Weihong and the other person.

After a while.

His sharp eyes were fixed on Zhao Weihong who was standing there motionless.

“newcomer?”

“Yes!”

“What project are you going to participate in?”

Hearing this, Zhao Weihong hesitated for a moment before speaking “selectively”.

“One of them is shooting.”

The middle-aged man did not notice the key point in Zhao Weihong’s words. Instead, he was very interested and showed a very playful expression.

“You can shoot, too?”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed the gun in his hand to Zhao Weihong.

“Come a couple of times?”
