In midsummer, the hot wind is scorching, and flags of various colors are flying on the playground of the Dongzhou City Police Academy, and square formations are surging.
Chen Shu stood at the front of the team of the Zhengming District Special Police Brigade, looking around at the bustling young colleagues who were also wearing special police training uniforms. He was in a trance and returned to the three-year-old school where he had just graduated from the police academy eight years ago and followed several instructors from the Special Police Detachment.
Monthly new police training.
But it was the middle of winter, and the wind felt like a knife cutting into the face. Twenty or so new police officers with blank expressions stood on the empty playground and didn't know where to put their feet.
It was not like now, although it was a bit hotter, but everyone was refreshed and full of energy, just like an elite troop with their heads held high waiting for the leader to review.
Except for their Zhengming SWAT brigade.
Chen Shu turned his head and looked at the list of dejected team members behind him, with a wry smile on his lips. He knew that many of these team members had participated in special police competitions organized by the detachment in previous years.
The last place in the competition over the years has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of each of them. Although they were all high-spirited and confident when they were training in the unit some time ago, in fact, they were all frightened and uneasy, the closer they got to the competition.
, the more you will become more nervous and anxious in this kind of uneasiness.
This kind of inferiority mentality will only make you feel constrained during the competition and you will not be able to perform as well as you should.
Chen Shu took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and turned back to wait for the leader to lecture.
"...Training is for better fighting, and competition is to show the results of daily training. So I hope that today's competition should show the courage to fight, the courage to fight, the iron-like fighting spirit and the iron-clad fighting spirit that our special police should have."
Tenacious determination..."
A deputy director of the Dongzhou City Public Security Bureau in charge of the special police was sitting on the rostrum, reading from a manuscript he had prepared in advance, his tone was a little flat, not as exciting as the words coming out of his mouth. Qianqianqianqiu
Bureau Wang, who was originally in charge of traffic control, now took over the famous Qingshui Yamen Special Police Detachment in the system. Bureau Wang still did not adjust from the uncomfortable mentality. After casually reading the speech, he handed the microphone to the special police officer sitting next to him.
Detachment leader.
The leader of the detachment, Gao, is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a stubble on his face but sharp eyes. He took the microphone and first expressed his gratitude to the leaders who came to inspect, and then briefly added a few words.
As an old SWAT policeman who has been in the SWAT team for almost ten years, I am actually a little tired of these competitions. On the left and right are the little guys from the detachment's direct brigade who roll around on the training ground every day, and the rest of the districts win.
The county team may have a few special recruits who will stand out.
After so many years, nothing has changed.
Somewhat boring.
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me."
Amid the unanimous shouts of the special police officers in the audience, the competition officially began.
Chen Shu led the team to the designated rest area in the stands. He looked at the six commandos in front of him who had been following him day and night for the past month. He originally wanted to say a few words to boost morale with a sullen face, but when he saw
Everyone looked extremely nervous, and on second thought they felt that they should not exert any more pressure.
He cleared his throat and tried to ease everyone's sense of urgency: "Do you know what our goal is this time?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Chen Shu looked at Chen Chuan who was lost in thought: "Chen Chuan, please tell me."
"Ah? Oh, what's the target?" Chen Chuan, who was standing on tiptoes watching the various teams on the playground, reacted and said calmly with a smile, "Second to last."
Hearing this, the other five team members couldn't help but laugh out loud. Chen Chuan was not annoyed and still looked at them with a smile.
Xu Mingliang, who was in charge of the EOD project, maintained that he was the oldest. He patted Chen Chuan on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Young man has great ambitions! I give you a thumbs up."
Pushu, who had always regarded this competition as showing his growth to his parents, lost his previous nervousness and started cheering: "Brother Chuan, whether we can be second to last depends on your 400-meter obstacle course!"
Yan Song smiled and said nothing, but his eyebrows relaxed a lot.
The expression on Zhang Qing's face, who was working on the large-scale drone project, was stiff for a moment. He held on to the newly polished black-rimmed glasses he bought yesterday and said in disbelief: "Brother Chuan, didn't he just pass the test?"
? How is it possible to get a ranking?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Qing's serious question and Chen Chuan's awkward toes digging into his face, and they all laughed suddenly, and the team atmosphere became much more lively.
"Okay." Chen Shu clapped his hands for silence, and then slowly said, "Everyone has worked hard these days. I will occasionally record everyone's results when they are in good condition, and then compare them with the results of previous years' competitions.
Comparatively, guess what? It’s not a big problem to rank among the top three teams.”
Seeing everyone shaking their heads in disbelief, Chen Shu continued: "I went to the inspection team to look at the applicants in each district and county. Except for the detachment directly affiliated to the brigade, there were no changes in the others. Correspondingly, their results were definitely the same as in previous years.
It's almost done. Oh, by the way, the detachment's direct brigade has only recruited new police officers with crutches this time, so the results may not be as good as before!"
"Even if he is not as good as before, he is still better than us."
"Yes, yes. They are all monsters, very ferocious!"
"Can't compare. Can't compare."
Pu Shu spoke up, and the others followed suit.
Chen Shu waved his hand and continued: "Then have you ever thought about why in the past few years, we always failed to get good results in competitions? It's because we lack the energy to fight. Whenever we encounter problems and difficulties,
Will retreat and escape.
"I first felt that I was not going to be able to do it. 'Well, our team is ranked last anyway, so what does it matter if I am so close?' This kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart, making us lose
gained the courage to fight.”
Chen Shu paused, looked around at the thoughtful crowd, and said, "Everyone thinks so. If everyone gives up before the game, then the entire team will naturally lose from within."
Chen Shu squinted his eyes and looked at the team members he had brought out one by one, waiting for their answers.
Chen Shu believed that although they were only a small group that had only been established for a few months, during the nearly two hundred days and nights of struggle, with his intentional unity and everyone's efforts, everyone would finally come out.
A tenacious first step.
That is to build what they have worked so hard for!
It’s not about performance, it’s about team confidence!
Chen Chuan, who had been looking around curiously, withdrew his gaze, nodded and said softly: "We are a team. If I won't lose at the 400-meter obstacle course, we won't lose."
From time to time, Xu Mingliang cast a deep look at the well-equipped EOD team of the SWAT detachment, and licked his dry lips: "I want them to know that old age is still the best, and the equipment is not omnipotent. I don't know how to do it here.
defeat."
Pu Shu raised his young and resolute face: "I want my parents to know..."
He paused, as if he thought of something bad, his face was cloudy and uncertain, but finally he calmed down and said simply: "I, Pushu, will never be defeated."
There was budding confidence in his tone.
Ma Bowen, who had just received third-class merit in the dismemberment case and had a taste of honor, his eyes were shining brightly, and his words were full of desire: "One word, do it!"
Zhang Qing adjusted his glasses and remained silent, while Yan Song clenched his fists in silence.
"Actually, don't be too stressed. No matter what, our results will definitely not be worse than in previous years. We are not afraid that there will be no chicken drumsticks for us to eat when we return to the team at night."
Chen Shu smiled, his face softened slightly, and then he restrained all expressions. He took a step back and stood in the aisle of the grandstand illuminated by the sun. He straightened his chest and asked loudly and loudly: "Brothers, what is our goal?"
"second last!"
With a "pop", the six commandos stood at attention and responded loudly, attracting the special police officers from the neighboring units not far away to look sideways.
"very good."
Chen Shu nodded with satisfaction, his morale was ready.
