Chen Kefan came out of the cabin and looked towards the lawn next to him. Lei Ming was sitting on an open-top military jeep with the roof removed and waved to him.
Throwing the luggage into the back seat, Chen Kefan jumped into the passenger seat.
"The Laurel team came to welcome me. It seems that I am still very proud." He joked.
Lei Ming wore sunglasses and tilted his head to look at Chen Kefan: "You, the royal censor, are here in person. How can I not be there to greet you in person?"
The jeep started, Lei Ming turned the steering wheel fiercely, and the car jumped out of the lawn and drove towards the camp.
"Tell me, coming all the way here, there must be some instructions from your superiors, right?"
"I can't say it's a big deal, but I do have a task. The superiors want to select one of these team members to participate in the training." Chen Kefan said: "I will come and talk to you personally."
"Can't you make a phone call?" Lei Ming said.
"You just let me do it for my own benefit. Besides, the entire training session is coming to an end. As the vice-captain of the 3rd team, I should come over and take a look at the situation."
"What mission?" Lei Ming asked bluntly.
"Before that, I want to ask another thing." Chen Kefan said: "When will your team's rest period end?"
The car was speeding between hills and grasslands when a large herd of sheep suddenly appeared in front of it. Lei Ming had to stop the car and wait for the sheep to pass by.
"It's only been three days since the anti-interrogation training ended, and you're already in a hurry? The team members suffered a lot during this training. From a scientific training perspective, they must be allowed to receive treatment and rest, otherwise it will cause harm to their bodies.
The damage was permanent, so I sent them to a nearby military nursing home, where they stayed."
"The main reason is that the mission is sudden and there are some problems with the selection of candidates. I must know your training evaluation of the last eight team members early and then make arrangements." Chen Kefan said: "After all, it is best that the team members who are finally selected meet the candidates for the mission. This
It’s the best of both worlds.”
Lei Ming took out his cigarette case, took out his lighter, lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Is your favorite candidate Qin Fei?"
"How is his performance?" Chen Kefan did not answer directly, but asked: "Did he pass the test?"
"To be honest, apart from being a little irritable and a little impulsive, in other aspects, he is indeed very good. If it hadn't been for him in this operation, Jin Donghai might have ended up in the hospital." Lei Ming said.
"I read the training report. It is said that he also shot at you?"
"Yes, this kid is a bit talented. To be honest, if it weren't for his damn dad, maybe I would admire him very much." Lei Ming said, "Although he is still a rookie now, he has great potential, which makes me appreciate him very much."
After training him for a year or two, I dare say there are few in the entire army who can match him."
Chen Kefan continued to ask: "Which 7 of them will you decide to keep in the end?"
"Why don't you just ask me which one to eliminate?" Lei Ming's tone became a little unhappy, "What? From your tone, the superiors are very interested in my selection list."
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. The 3rd detachment is newly formed. It was promised at the beginning that you would select the personnel and command them. You will also lead them in the future..."
"Stop being like this, can you say something straightforward between us soldiers?"
Lei Ming directly interrupted Chen Kefan's words, then tilted his head and stared at Chen Kefan, "Old Chen, I know why my superiors chose you to partner with me, because you studied as a graduate student at the NJ Institute of Political Science before entering Unit 203, and are like the rest of us.
Having been engaged in special operations at the military academy has resulted in some differences."
"Why is it different?" Chen Kefan always kept a smile on his face, like an unfathomable pool of water. No matter how you throw a stone into it, except for a few ripples, you can't even find the shadow of the stone.
He said calmly: "Like you, am I not a member of Unit 203?"
"In the military, I have never thought that you are better than me." Lei Ming said confidently: "But in terms of political work, you are better than me. This is a fact. Unit 203 used to have only one political commissar Wei, but now there are three squadrons.
The position of deputy captain has been added. In name, you are the deputy in charge of logistics support, but in fact, you know very well that you are the political commissar."
"The branch is built in the company." Chen Kefan explained patiently: "Although the identity of Unit 203 is quite special and does not even have a serial number, it is undeniable that you are real soldiers, even more serious than other organized and sequenced soldiers.
excellent."
He sighed and said: "Lao Lei, don't be so angry. You are a veteran and have reached the rank of colonel. If you go up further, you will have to become a general. You must have political consciousness."
"Don't try to flatter me. I won't fall for that. I am a soldier. I can hold the rank of colonel because I have 8 gunshot wounds and 12 knife wounds. Those scars are my achievements and mine.
Honor, I don’t have that many tricks up my sleeve.”
The flock of sheep finally passed, Lei Ming stepped on the accelerator, and the car jumped forward. It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
"You are a soldier, yes! But soldiers cannot do without politics! Do you think political and ideological work is useless? You know, Unit 203 is the sharp sword of the country. Once there is a problem with this unit, what will be the consequences?"
No matter how good-tempered Chen Kefan was, he was angered by Lei Ming's arrogant attitude. He couldn't help but lectured: "You forgot Fan Tianlong that day!? Forgot Qin Fei's father Qin Anguo?! Without Fan Tianlong, there would be
Today's 'Black Sun' organization? The elites we have carefully cultivated have in turn become a major problem that harms the motherland. Do you think if we had been more meticulous in our political and ideological work, what kind of situation would have resulted? Have you forgotten that because of Fan?
In the Tianlong incident, Unit 203 was almost canceled and disbanded. Is this the result you want to see?"
A series of rhetorical questions left Lei Ming speechless.
"Well, I personally don't object to you partnering with me. I just vented my anger. If I guessed correctly, the trouble must be with Qin Fei or Jin Donghai." Lei Ming softened his tone.
"I think you have misunderstood. Political Commissar Wei has never mentioned anything about Qin Fei in front of me." Chen Kefan said.
Lei Ming was startled, and suddenly said: "Is that Jin Donghai's third generation red?"
Chen Kefan said: "Jin Donghai's status is quite special, but the final decision-making power is still in your hands. You can keep whoever you decide to keep and eliminate whoever you decide to eliminate. On this point, you have absolute power."
"This is the final training evaluation form, read it yourself." Lei Ming took a file bag from the dashboard and threw it to Chen Kefan.
Chen Kefan pulled out the form inside, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.
"Have you really decided to do this?"
"That's right!" Lei Ming took the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth and flicked it far away.
