Chapter 4: Where to Go
At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the warm sunshine shone, dispelling the last chill.
In front of the Wild Wolf Gang, a young figure dragged a long way in the sun. It was Xu Yan. He stood close to the cordon and talked to the sentry not far ahead with a salivating face.
"Squad leader, give me a chance."
"Squad leader, I just want to enter the army. Please make peace and let me in."
"You are still angry with me, right? Yes, I admit that I was wrong before, I shouldn't deceive you and make you criticized, but I really have no malice. The starting point is to enter the army, become a hero like you, defend your country and serve the people... You are soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the cutest group of people in the world, with a broad mind like the sea, and you will definitely not have the same knowledge as me, right?"
Xu Yan kept talking, and would move forward two steps from time to time to try to cross the cordon, but let him speak loudly, but he could not impress the sentry at all. The two kept staring at him. Every time they saw him cross the cordon, they would move forward without hesitation, or simply raise the gun and warn him to exit the cordon.
"Squad leader, don't be so ruthless."
Xu Yan had just been forced back by gunfire, and after a few minutes of honesty, he approached with salivation again.
The sentry who had negotiated with Xu Yan had no choice but to roll his eyelids, walked down from the post, and drove Xu Yan out again. This time he did not leave immediately, but spoke helplessly.
"It's useless for you to bother us. We can't let you in. We can understand your idea of joining the army, but please understand our difficulties. If you let you in, we will be punished... This year's recruitment period has passed. If you really want to join the army, then come back next year." This is the first time that the sentry spoke to Xu Yan after he was bombarded out of the army.
For three days, they were already scared by Xu Yan. This guy was just a rogue. He was good at speaking, observing his expression, knowing how to behave, and knowing how to advance and retreat. Whenever you were in a tendency to get angry, he immediately surrendered without saying a word. After a while, he quietly came up, which made people feel annoyed, but he couldn't feel annoyed. This is also the reason why Xu Yan has been entangled but was not forced to expel him.
As soon as he heard the sentry speak to him, Xu Yan immediately felt energetic and held his hand and said gratefully, "Squad leader, I knew you were cold and warm, and you were the cutest and most respectable person in the world..."
After a sugar-coated shell, the sentry did not knock out. The latter was a little impatient and wanted to touch the gun again. Xu Yan quickly let go of him and patted his chest and said, "Squad leader, you have to say this. If I continue to pester you, it will be too unreasonable."
Facing the sentinel's suspicious gaze, Xu Yan's expression changed and said pitifully: "But, I really want to join the army. Squad leader, you have been here for a long time and have a wide range of friendships. You must know more than me. Is there any good way to help me? Let me give you some advice..."
"You have to find the chief in this matter!" The sentry left a sentence and walked away.
"Thank you, the squad leader, but you see that I am not familiar with the place, and I don't know which leader is easy to talk to. Why don't you turn back and give me some advice... If you don't speak, I will pretend you agreed... Thank you, the squad leader, you are such a good person!"
...
The sun rises and the sun sets.
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning of that day, Xu Yan came to the army gate and saw two familiar sentries. He came forward to say hello.
"Two squad leaders, it's so early!"
"Squad leader, are you tired of standing guard all day?"
"Squad leader, it's so boring to stand like this. Let's talk!"
"Squad Leader, when will the Company Commander Tang Juetang come? Can he really let me join the army?"
Xu Yan kept talking, which made the two sentries secretly annoyed. The sentry on the left raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Shut up, I won't help you if I talk."
After hearing this, Xu Yan quickly raised his hand and said, "No, squad leader, you don't want me to speak, I just don't speak, don't help, turn around, Company Commander Tang Jue Tang is here, you must remind me..."
Under the sharp eyes of the two sentries, the voice behind Xu Yan became lower and lower, and he waited silently.
In five or six days, Xu Yan gradually became familiar with the two sentries with his indomitable spirit and his perfect tongue. He also learned some of the situations of the troops from them. He knew that it was useless to pester at the gate of the troops. He had to nod to enter the troops. The regiment commander Zhong Ding didn't have to think about it. However, the first reconnaissance company commander Tang Jue was a good breakthrough.
Tang Jue, the company commander of the Wild Wolf Regiment Reconnaissance Company, has excellent military quality and has led the reconnaissance company many times. He won the ranking in the regiment competitions and even the military region competitions. He is a big celebrity in the regiment. While shouldering the honors and missions of the regiment, he also has the privilege of recruiting talents in an extraordinary manner. Even after the recruitment period, as long as you have extraordinary talent and expertise, as long as you can get his recognition, you can still enter the army.
After a while of quiet, Xu Yan couldn't help but speak again, "Squad Leader, when will Corps Tang arrive? Can he really let me join the army? What kind of personality is he? Is it easy to get along with? Do you have any special hobbies? Do you like to flatter people..."
The two sentries had a black line on their foreheads. The sentry on the left raised their eyebrows and was about to shut up Xu Yan, but at this moment a military jeep came. The sentry raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, lowered his voice and said, "Company Commander Tang is here." Then he looked at his nose and nose, standing straight like a sculpture, as if he was not the one who just spoke.
The jeep slowed down and stopped in front of the army gate. Xu Yan quickly approached and said, "Hello, Company Commander Tang, I have something to come to you. Can you talk to me?"
Tang Jue looked through the car window and saw Xu Yan's face clearly. He was stunned for a moment. Like Captain Zhong, he also felt that Xu Yan looked very familiar, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Tang Jue got out of the car, and the two walked a few steps and came to the open space on the side of the army gate. Tang Jue stopped and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with me?"
"My name is Xu Yan, I came to recommend myself. I want to join the army." Xu Yan did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his purpose.
Hearing Xu Yan's words, Tang Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, "This year's recruitment period has passed. If you want to join the army, come back next year."
"I just don't want to wait until the next year before I come to you. If you have special places to recruit, you can admit some excellent talents in an extraordinary way." Xu Yan paused and patted his chest and said, "I am the outstanding talent you are looking for, and it is better than everyone you are looking for."
"You are quite arrogant!"
Tang Jue stared at Xu Yan, his eyes bright, like a knife or a sword, as if there was a power to penetrate people's hearts, making people feel inexplicable oppression.
Xu Yan looked at him without showing any weakness, without being affected by his momentum at all, and corrected his words, "This is confidence!"
"I really want to know what makes you so confident." Xu Yan's unruly posture aroused Tang Jue's interest. He looked at his watch and said, "Give you a minute to convince me!"
"I have a good physical fitness, an IQ of up to 18, and I am not resistant to eloquence. I am born to be a soldier." Xu Yan said his specialty. Seeing that Tang Jue was unmoved, his eyes turned and said, "Company Commander Tang, I wonder if you have ever heard of me?"
Facing Tang Jue's puzzled gaze, Xu Yan smiled and said, "It's the matter that I pretended to be Captain Zhong's nephew."
"You don't know anything else, but this is different. This happened in the army. You must have heard of it, which is enough to prove my intelligence."
Intelligent!
After hearing Xu Yan's words, Tang Jue was dumbfounded.
The army was so big, Tang Jue naturally didn't hear about Xu Yan pretending to be the nephew of the regiment commander, but it was only after he heard about it that he was surprised that this was obviously a rogue's deception, but how could it be proved by his wisdom?
It is too shameless to pretend to be someone’s nephew and is seen through, but he is proud of it. Is this shameless? Where is his integrity?
"Do you think this is worth showing off?" Tang Jue asked back.
"Of course... don't think so." Xu Yan paused and said, "But look at things, we should not be too one-sided, but multi-faceted. Although this matter is wrong in some aspects, it also reflects my wit from the side, right?"
"What is the most important thing in the 21st century? It is talent! I can enter the army through layers of guards and talk face to Captain Zhong face to face. This is a kind of strength. This ability can become a sales backbone in the enterprise, and an excellent scout in the army can become an excellent scout..."
Xu Yan talked freely, Tang Jue's face changed, and he was indeed a little moved. Although what Xu Yan said was a fallacy, it was not without reason. However, this guy's shameless face was really annoying. Therefore, he looked at the time again and interrupted Xu Yan impatiently, "It's a pity that you couldn't convince me."
Xu Yan's words came to an abrupt end. Seeing Tang Jue turn around and leave, he hurriedly followed and said, "Company Commander, don't leave. After listening to me, I'm just one of my specialties. I haven't said my real specialties yet..."
"If the specialty you are talking about is such shameless sophistry, I think you can't join the army. What our army needs is iron-blooded soldiers, men who have perseverance, persistence, passion, and ideals, and are willing to sacrifice and dedicate, not people like you who are a little clever and talkative!"
After Tang Jue said this, he also arrived in front of the jeep, got in, fired, and left.
