Chapter 732: Chapter 492: The Result of a 24-Year Journey_3
Han Yong instantly performed an impromptu Sichuan opera face-changing act, making a sad face and said, "I learned it, but I don’t understand it! A bunch of words packed together, it just makes me want to sleep!"
"Fine, tomorrow I’ll find you some video materials on stock market analysis! You’re going to watch it over and over!"
The sounds of scolding here drew the attention of the people in the front yard.
The 18 newcomers, many looked over.
Fang Huai also let go of Wang Peng and shouted:
"Captain Hao, form up!"
Hao Chengbin, who was bragging with a second stage officer, immediately whipped out his whistle.
"Toot-toot-toot! Assemble!"
At this, everyone quickly lined up in the front yard.
Some newcomers, puzzled by the tense situation, curiously asked:
"Damn... who’s that? An intern platoon leader ordering the third stage to line up?"
"You’ve come to the Second Squadron and you don’t know him? Fang Huai!"
"Damn, that’s Fang Huai? So young? I heard he was promoted and thought he must be at least second stage!"
"Stop talking, you’ll get reprimanded in a bit. If he gets angry, he could send you packing back to your original squadron immediately."
The ranks instantly fell silent.
Today, except for two taking family leave, the entire Second Squadron was present.
The newcomers stood in the front two rows with their backpacks, the professional team in the last row, forming six rows and nine columns in total, with four cadres standing to the side. The assembly had the formidable scale of a major exercise.
One squadron, two lieutenant colonels.
This squadron, truly more impressive in person than by reputation. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Even the newcomers, despite being in the midst of it all, felt something surreal about the place; the rules here seemed to completely overturn their previous understanding.
Hao Chengbin, who had been leading soldiers for years, adapted well to this scale of formation and began with the vigor of a centurion:
"Look to the right... line up!"
"Thud thud thud..."
The sound of marching in step, very distinct, like the invigorating beat of drums, showed the quality of both the new and old team members.
"Look... forward!"
"At ease!"
The assembly was complete, and the ranks were neatly formed.
Hao Chengbin half-turned to the right and ran into the formation. Cao Yi straightened up and marched to the command position, taking over the troops, gave a salute, picked up a roster, and started roll call.
"Qi Xin!"
"Present!"
"Jiang Lujie!"
"Present!"
...
Eighteen people, enough to form a new squadron, meant a long roll call and welcome speech.
"...Be modest in behavior, ambitious in action. Hope you all foster unity and train rigorously!"
"Next, please have Captain Fang say a few words!"
Cao Yi turned and exchanged positions with Fang Huai.
Fang Huai walked in front of the formation, the newcomers in the first two rows straightening up.
On the way here, the Chief of Staff who had sent them already mentioned: in the Second Squadron, Instructor Cao is in charge, while Captain Fang steers the ship.
Fang Huai’s military exploits, any single one could be carved in iron, and they were very eager to hear what this legendary figure would say.
But the curious Fang Huai, once in the command position, seemed to change his demeanor from the playful banter earlier with the First-class soldier. His expression became solemn as he gave a salute and said:
"I will only say three things!"
At this remark, those below nearly laughed.
What a typical leader’s way to start a speech! Three points, each with five subpoints, and each subpoint with three details, right?
But Fang Huai’s words followed one after the other, concise and to the point.
"First, the Second Squadron is full of the best of the Firefighting forces! Here, learn modestly and make progress together!
Second, train with discipline, live with joy!
Third, the Second Squadron is very busy, so please integrate quickly. Starting tomorrow, we will conduct Physical Ability assessments and specialized training!
Attention! Each squad, help the newcomers arrange their Internal Affairs! Dismissed!"
After speaking, he turned to Ye Jiahong and said:
"Old Ye, I’ve got something else to deal with, take care of the Internal Affairs for me!"
Fang Huai hurriedly went upstairs.
Below, the group was stunned. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Damn, the Second Squadron is busy... that busy?
