Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

”We still need to study but we can’t stop our training too. However, you need to take care of your body. You can eat your lunch according to the schedule. How can you miss your lunch?”

Ye Jian smiled until her eyes turned into crescents. Normally, Commissar Yan would be the one telling Commander Liu to mind his words. Now that he finally got the chance to educate Commissar Yan. He wouldn’t give up on this chance.

”I gave you the chance to educate me. Don’t go overboard.” Commissar Yan smiled and shook his head profusely. He said to Ye Jian gently, ”That’s right. You still need to study. Gain knowledge before protecting the country. You will have a brighter future that way.

Come, let’s go and eat. You can continue training in the late afternoon.”

Honestly, Ye Jian didn’t feel like eating. It was noon. She wondered if they had arrived at the base and managed to board the aircraft. When would they be able to save K7?

All these uncertainties floated up to her mind whenever she had any rest time. She needed to focus on training to forget about them.

She just hoped that every single one of them would return home safe. Even if they were injured, it was alright. She just wanted them to come back.

After lunch, there was a break for one and a half hours. Ye Jian didn’t rest after she finished eating. She cleared her plates and chopsticks and turned to walk towards training site B. Commander Liu chased after her in huge strides. ”Girl, you’re working too hard. Why aren’t you listening?”

Ye Jian walked and drank water at the same time. After hearing what Commander Liu said, she turned her body hurriedly and replied, ”I can’t relax. When I passed through the S-shaped course just now, the steering wheel slipped out of my hands. Also, the batch of soldiers you’re training currently will change camp and go to the Imperial City at the end of December.

I need to make use of the time to learn more things.”

The motorized infantry in Commander Liu’s hand trained throughout the year. Now, they were at the last and strictest stage of their assessment. Learning from them was beneficial to Ye Jian and would help her to raise her ability.

”Don’t give yourself too much pressure. You’re not a soldier yet,” Commander Liu said. However, he wished that Ye Jian would be outstanding in all areas too. If not, he wouldn’t have scrutinized Ye Jian’s training.

Ye Jian waited for Commander Liu to catch up before walking towards training site B again. She showed no intention of stopping. She put her heart into training because she wanted to strive for vindication and didn’t want to think about Xia Jinyuan’s mission too.

She said seriously, ”Although I’m not a soldier, I always take myself as a real soldier in my heart. If I don’t work hard now, it will be too late when I have to do my best. I should work hard when I can. This is for myself, my future, and for the hope of coming back alive. I feel that this is good.”

…

Oh no, the little girl had become just like the commissar. She spoke so well like she was saying a tongue-twister.

”You need to go to school at 7. Rest when you should. Even if you want to work hard now, you shouldn’t work too hard. However, you’re right. If you don’t give your best during training, it will be too late to give your best during the real moment.” Commander Liu didn’t force Ye Jian to rest. It was rare to find a soldier with such enlightenment.

How could he strike down her enthusiasm?

After Ye Jian went to training site B, Commander Liu went back to look for Commissar Yan. ”Something is bothering Ye Jian. Give her some guidance. She’s used to keeping her thoughts to herself so we can’t ask her directly. Old Yan, use some of your real power to guide her.”

”After the afternoon training, I will find a chance to talk to her. She drove here and I’m going to the military later. Tomorrow, I will rush back to the regiment as early as possible. You don’t have to arrange a car for me. I will take her car to go to the city.”

It had become a habit for him to go to the military headquarters at the end of each month.
