Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

When Big Shark saw his smile, teased him, ”Don’t you feel like a father? You finally raised a bunch of children. Aren’t you happy?”

…

Li Jinnian felt a little helpless when he heard this kind of analogy. His comrades in the team didn’t seem to have a talent for words. Even he, the captain, was the same.

However, Big Shark was right about one thing. He was happy.

”If they can stay, they will be one of the best. We can move our camp too.” Li Jinnian stared at the rippling water surface with a sharp gaze. He said calmly, ”After National Day in October, we will have a competition with the Special Forces led by Xia Jinyuan. The new soldiers will need to go to the battlefield. Big Shark, our training needs to be more compact.”

The military had already agreed to the request for a match between the navy and the army. TIt would start immediately after the National Day Celebrations. It was the middle of August now. There were less than two months left.

Big Shark’s expression turned cold. ”Time is tight. What about Ye Jian? She won’t be participating, right?”

”She will.”

”She will?” Big Shark’s reaction was slow for two seconds. He immediately asked, ”Which camp? Our’s? The army’s?”

Underwater, they were undergoing night diving equipment swapping training. The training consisted of two soldiers entering the water wearing masks and exchanging diving equipment. It was 6.50 pm. There were still ten minutes before the end.

The movement of the frogmen caused the seawater to ripple even more. Among the undulating waves, two soldiers with diving equipment appeared first. Li Jinnian looked at the time. ”Ye Jian, Liu Zhen, first. She belongs to our camp.”

…

”Our camp? Army turned navy? Demon King, you’re not kidding, right?” Big Shark’s attention was not affected by the Demon King’s train of thought. He continued to focus on where Ye Jian was. ”She’s someone Xia Jinyuan brought over. But she becomes one of us during the competition?

Demon King, we can’t have a one-sided opinion.”

Ye Jian, who was changing her scuba gear underwater, swam to the edge of the reef covered with barnacles. She popped out of the water and high-fived her partner.

She couldn’t take off her mask so she could only high-five to express her joy.

”Three minutes in advance.” Ye Jian looked at her waterproof watch and made a ’three’ gesture. Then, she raised her thumb and started a simple communication.

The soldier pointed at the reef and climbed up first before pulling Ye Jian up.

The two of them were equipped with eight kilograms of equipment. At the bottom of the water, they could increase their weight and dive quickly. When they reached the shore, their movements would more or less be affected. This was why the weight training of the frogmen always existed.

The soldiers carried the ten kilograms of equipment until they got used to it. Even when they reached the land, they were still able to move agilely. The effort that the frogmen put in was something that normal soldiers couldn’t compare to.

When Li Jinnian saw Ye Jian coming up, he stopped standing on the reef. He took a few steps down from the rocks and said to Big Shark, ”She’s physically in the navy. Therefore, she belongs to the navy.”

”Also, the army needs to test her results. We can let the army see Ye Jian’s results during the competition.”

His explanation made Big Shark smile. ”Interesting. Ye Jian is Xia Jinyuan’s subordinate. We have a comrade in our team who knows the enemy. We have an advantage in the competition.”
