You go inside first, i’ll take a look over at the company!

Under the cover of night, in front of their old family home, a Mercedes parked and Wang Jianjun, in the driver’s seat, spoke to his wife beside him.

Mmm!”

Xu Xiaofeng nodded and got out of the car.

The Wang family’s business had become increasingly busy. In just one year, they had built a successful online store using their own clothing factory, and it was thriving.

At this point, although it had only been a short year, the Wang family’s assets had doubled.

Even more so because they had tasted success, Wang Jianjun was now planning to expand their family business, combining offline production with online store sales, and introducing some other products.

However, these things had nothing to do with Wang Ye now.

He was in the military camp and wouldn’t come to help Old Wang.

Bang!

With a soft sound, the car door closed, but Old Wang didn’t immediately start the car to leave.

As a couple, they had developed a habit that when they arrived home, they would first check the mailbox, rather than opening the door.

Even if Wang Jianjun had something to do and had to go out after dropping off his wife at home, he would wait until his wife had checked the mailbox and confirmed that there were no letters from their son today before leaving.

Last year, he still had a wayward son, an incompetent fellow, but now he had truly become his pride.

There is a letter!”

Suddenly, after opening the mailbox outside, Xu Xiaofeng pulled out a letter with a happy expression on her face.

Click-

Wang Jianjun immediately unbuckled his seatbelt, and without turning off the car, he opened the door and got out.

His son had sent a letter, and reading his son’s letter wouldn’t delay anything at the company.

What did our son write?” Wang Jianjun got out of the car and hurriedly approached, eager to know.

Why so impatient, 1 haven’t read it yet!” Xu Xiaofeng said as she opened the letter.

A moment later…

Ah-! Our son has been named the annual outstanding individual by XX Military District!” Xu Xiaofeng exclaimed.

Let me see… let me see!

Wang Jianjun couldn’t sit still, reaching over to grab the letter.

Hey, don’t snatch it, i haven’t finished reading it!

The couple started to argue right at the front door.

Of course, they soon realized they could read it together.

What a great kid, haha, he truly takes after his old man!

Suddenly, Wang Jianjun burst into laughter.

In this moment, he stood tall and proud, his voice booming.

Unfortunately, this was a residential area, and in a place like this in the county there were few houses, each with a large distance between them. His laughter didn’t elicit any response from the neighbors.

Meanwhile, on a road leading from East Guang to West Guang…

A military off-road vehicle was speeding along.

Now that you’ve received this commendation, when you go back and lead the troops, you need to be even more careful and attentive, especially when it comes to the psychological aspects of new recruits. You must pay special attention.”

In the driver’s seat, Wu Jianfeng spoke to Wang Ye, who was in the passenger seat, while driving, “The emotions of new recruits are unstable, and some may even hide their true feelings. Just like that scoundrel Deng Hai last year, he had issues but acted like everything was fine. Suddenly, a big shock came to you. You must be careful in such situations, you understand?”

Commendations at the level of platoons, companies, and even regiments were mainly for fun, with no significant practical impact. They were a form of morale boost.

However, when it came to commendations at the military district level, they held more than just honor. They were recorded in one’s file and could have a significant impact on an individual’s future.

Listening to Old Wu’s words, Wang Ye smiled and nodded, “I’ll be careful!

At this moment, Wang Ye, who was in the passenger seat, wore a sash and held a certificate in his arms. It was already the 25th today, and yesterday, Wu Jianfeng had taken over the task of escorting Wang Ye from the regiment to the military district to receive the award. Now, the awards ceremony was over, and they were on their way back.

Well, i know your way of leading the troops is not wrong, but with your style the pressure on your soldiers must be significant. Besides, the New Year is approaching, and the new recruits will want to call home then…”

Old Wu was genuinely worried now.

Once bitten by a snake, you’re afraid of well ropes for ten years!

Deng Hai had gone through a breakup because of a phone call. It was an instant thunderstorm.

And now, the New Year was just around the corner.

New recruits would naturally want to call their families during rhe holidays.

However, when it came to phone calls, some new recruits might not be entirely honest, and they could end up calling their girlfriends directly.

Then, breakups might happen.

In the military, especially among new recruits and in their first year, these things were quite normal.

Not every woman could tolerate not being able to reach their loved ones by phone and having to maintain their relationships primarily through letters.

So, some of these issues were considered inevitable.

However, the fear was that someone in love might not take advice seriously and end up causing trouble.

Listening to Wu Jianfeng’s reminder, Wang Ye also nodded solemnly, “I will pay attention to this. In my platoon, there are thirteen new recruits with girlfriends. When they make calls, 1’11 make sure they do it while I’m around, just in case!”

Wang Ye was a bit worried as well.

Therefore, from the time the new recruits joined, Wang Ye had been keeping an eye on who in his class had girlfriends, and he had asked the class leader to do the same for the other classes in the platoon and compiled a list.

In the military, whether you’re a squad leader or an officer, one of the things you fear most is precisely these kinds of situations.

Well, that’s the best way!” Wu Jianfeng nodded.

Inside the car, there was a moment of silence, but it didn’t last long.

Regiment Commander, when are you getting married?” Suddenly, Wang Ye turned his head and asked with a smile.

When it came to talking about relationships, Wang Ye couldn’t help but think about the person next to him.

Wu Jianfeng’s face lit up with a happy smile, and he glanced at Wang Ye

Probably next year, the specific date isn’t set yet!

Immediately, Wang Ye also chuckled, “Hehe, by the way, can I consider myself a matchmaker?”

Wu Jianfeng was slightly surprised and, with a smile, glanced ar Wang Ye again, saying, “What kind of matchmaker are you?”

Wu Jianfeng had actually changed his position last month.

He was no longer the company commander of the Fourth Company; he had become rhe deputy regiment commander of the Second Regiment.

Of course, what they were talking about had nothing to do with this.

Wang Ye joked, “Regiment Commander, let’s speak honestly. If it weren’t for my donation, how would you have had a chance to get close to your girlfriend? I donated nearly a hundred thousand, but in the end, I bled a lot while you walked away with the beautiful girl. You should comfort me a bit! ”

Haha, you little rascal, alright, alright, enough said. I’ll give you a nice big red envelope when the time comes!”

Old Wu laughed heartily.

Indeed, he was indebted to Wang Ye for helping him establish the relationship with his girlfriend. Without Wang Ye s donation, he wouldn’t have had a second chance to reconnect with her.

Hehe, 1 don’t want a matchmaker’s red envelope. You can keep your three walnuts and two jujubes for my future nephew’s milk powder. Just prepare a bottle of good wine and buy me a couple of packs of cigarettes when the time comes!”

You rich second-generation brat!” Wu Jianfeng playfully scolded with a smile.

Next, on their way, the two of them had many conversations.

Wu Jianfeng imparted a lot of leadership techniques, methods, and tips to Wang Ye. These were all based on his years of experience in leading troops.

Although Wang Ye sometimes joked around, he was genuinely listening and absorbing the knowledge.

The system could enhance individual abilities, including fixed knowledge and skillsj but it couldn’t teach one how to be a better person or handle certain life situations.

That night, when they returned to their base, Wang Ye received a warm welcome arranged by the regiment. They even had drums and gongs to welcome the new recruits.

However, it was only for that one night.

After that night, Wang Ye s life returned to its normal course.

According to our station’s reporters, this afternoon, China officially issued an evacuation notice. The Navy, Air Force, and civil aviation forces are currently rushing to LBY…”

On the evening of the 22nd, when Wang Ye was watching the news as usual, he was momentarily stunned when he saw this report.

Evacuation?

And it’s in LBY? Colonel Kardashev is back?

Wang Ye widened his eyes.

He had thought this matter had long since passed, but now it suddenly appeared right in front of him.

A legendary figure!

With his own strength, he had opened up the Five Constants dungeon.

Is this witnessing history?” Wang Ye couldn’t help but stroke his chin as he watched the news.

it seemed like right after their country evacuated, the Gallic roosters’ bombers had arrived!

A monumental event of the century, but unfortunately, he could only be a spectator.

Damn, are we going to war?

What’s going on? How did this happen so suddenly?

At this moment, even the people in the electronics classroom were starting to feel uneasy.

As military personnel, they all understood the significance of an evacuation.

However, for now, they were still in the electronics classroom, so no one dared to get too distracted discussing it.

But when they returned to their respective units later, this topic was bound to explode.

Hey, what’s the situation in LBY? Are we going to war? Who are we fighting against?’’

The news didn’t make it clear. What happened? Why is our country suddenly evacuating its citizens?”

1 don’t know, has there been an outbreak of civil unrest?”

The news provided very little information, only mentioning the evacuation of citizens from certain unstable areas without elaborating on the reasons. So, the new recruits in the classroom were completely puzzled by this.

Internally, Wang Ye was amused, but he didn’t flaunt his knowledge. He had no idea if there was more specific information available outside, so he couldn’t go around spreading information he had obtained from his future.

He would keep that information to himself!

Alright, this matter is too distant from us. Stop discussing it and take out paper and pens!”

Wang Ye halted their discussions.

Once they had paper and pens ready, Wang Ye continued, “Now, start writing a farewell letter each!”

“Uh…”

Ah!

In the dormitory, the eleven new recruits all turned to look at him.

Seeing their expressions, Wang Ye pretended to be serious and said, “Why are you all looking at me like that? Don’t you know that we re going to start a combat readiness exercise tomorrow? Let me tell you, combat readiness exercises are not just talk; they are preparations for war. You’ll be using live ammunition, firing live rounds, and there might even be unexpected situations. So, starting now, each of you needs to write a farewell letter! ”

This year’s combat readiness exercise was different from the one Wang Ye and his comrades had experienced the previous year.

’1’here were some minor changes, particularly in live ammunition training, which was arranged at the live ammunition throwing training ground near the shooting range, following live fire shooting.

Of course, these changes weren’t the main focus.

The primary task now was to have them write their first farewell letter of their military career..
