Chapter 233 Tan Xiaolin applies to join the Fire Phoenix training team!
"Don't bother trying to persuade me. I know what I'm doing."
Tan Xiaolin said calmly: "In your eyes, I am just a newcomer. Who would want to listen to the orders of a newcomer?"
"This..." Captain Gao looked at Tan Xiaolin hesitantly.
Then he turned to Zhang Chuan in embarrassment.
"Reporting to the chief instructor, Tan Xiaolin applies to join the Fire Phoenix training team! Please approve it!" Tan Xiaolin looked directly at Zhang Chuan and requested loudly again.
Zhang Chuan didn't want to say anything more, so he nodded and said, "Come in."
"Yes!" Tan Xiaolin answered loudly and then walked towards the team of female soldiers.
Zhang Chuan scanned the audience again.
Wherever his eyes went, the place became so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard, and the recruits all straightened their backs.
"Continue the topic just now."
Zhang Chuan put his hands behind his back and said seriously: "First, during the selection period, you will not have names, only code names! Here, everyone is equal, no matter how high your military rank or position you held before!"
"As long as we are here, we are all the same, we are all newcomers! We will treat everyone fairly!"
"Now, take off your military ranks!"
As soon as the words fell, the recruits looked at each other.
Some new recruits with lower military ranks just took it.
Those with higher military ranks were reluctant and hesitant.
Tan Xiaolin paused for a moment and resolutely gave up her rank of major.
The female soldiers nearby began to discuss in a low voice.
"Now I'm no longer a major."
"Who said it wasn't? Let's see how she can still put on airs this time. Let her have a taste of our hard work."
The female soldiers were talking to each other, but Tan Xiaolin seemed not to hear them and looked ahead with a firm gaze.
"Article 2!"
As soon as Zhang Chuan finished speaking, the originally noisy scene became silent again.
"Next, everyone will be given paper and pen to write your suicide notes!" Zhang Chuan announced loudly.
At this time, a male soldier reported loudly to Zhang Chuan.
"Report to the Chief Instructor! We are only here to participate in the selection, why do we have to write a suicide note?"
Zhang Chuan turned his head slightly and looked at the male soldier.
Suddenly, the male soldier felt as if he was being stared at by a cold snake and couldn't help but shiver.
"Either quit or write a suicide note." Zhang Chuan said without question.
The male soldier fell silent immediately.
Zhang Chuan nodded to the high school team, and the high school team immediately began to explain: "This is a necessary procedure, no one can be exempted! I can't guarantee that you won't have any accidents in the next training! You should know that there are casualties in this selection!"
"We cannot guarantee your absolute safety during the selection period. You may get hurt or even sacrifice your life! But if you want to become a real special forces soldier, this is the only way! We will treat everyone equally, regardless of gender!"
The high school team picked up the megaphone and announced loudly: "Next, the third item! You need to sign an agreement to prove that you are here voluntarily and not forced!"
"I know you came here voluntarily, but this formality must be completed! If you encounter an emergency, it will have nothing to do with the training team. The army will take over and handle it! Do you have any objections?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the recruits below began to chatter.
Everyone reacted quickly, looking at each other.
Wang Yanbing nudged Li Erniu and the others and muttered, "I think I understand. It means that if we sign that document, if anything happens to us, it will have nothing to do with them. Isn't this an obviously unequal treaty?"
Song Kaifei continued, "Be more confident, that's what they mean... He Chenguang, what do you think?"
He Chenguang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. He Chenguang shook his head and said helplessly, "Don't you have to sign this agreement in the end? Are you going to stop practicing because of this agreement?
Besides, we are really voluntary.”
After these words were spoken, several people smiled bitterly and nodded.
What He Chenguang said does make some sense. The selection of special forces has always been accompanied by the risk of casualties, and signing this agreement seems to be just a formality.
The recruits were discussing the matter heatedly, and almost everyone complained about this unequal treaty.
"Report, I think this agreement is unfair!" At this time, a female soldier stood up and said loudly.
Just as the senior team leader was about to speak, he was stopped by Zhang Chuan, who stepped forward again.
Zhang Chuan looked at the female soldier and said, "You know, the final right of interpretation belongs to us. Here, the final right of interpretation belongs to me."
"You can be fair if you want."
Zhang Chuan pointed to the steps of the flag stand and said, "As long as you put your helmet there, you can pursue the fairness you mentioned."
The scene suddenly became quiet again. After a moment, He Chenguang took the lead and said to the male soldiers:
"It has come to this, just sign it."
He Chenguang looked around at the male soldiers around him and said slowly, "Aren't we all here willingly?"
At this time, Tan Xiaolin also turned around and said to the female soldiers: "Since there are regulations, we must abide by them. Sisters, let's sign them too."
Shi Dafan and his team began distributing paper and pens, while the high school team followed Zhang Chuan to the back.
"I didn't expect Tan Xiaolin to really come. This time she's so conscious. She's here to write a suicide note and sign it first!"
The high school team said in surprise.
"If she wants to win the respect of the female soldiers, Tan Xiaolin has to stand on their side."
Zhang Chuan put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "If they had not gone through the same training together, how could Tan Xiaolin have the courage to be their instructor?"
"But what if Tan Xiaolin was eliminated midway? Of course, I'm just assuming." asked the senior team leader.
"She has her own way to deal with it." Zhang Chuan replied slowly.
At this time, the equipment of the new recruits had been distributed by Shi Dafan and others.
Each person received a new helmet. When handing out the number tags, Shi Dafan whispered a few words to Tan Xiaolin.
"Instructor, I don't think you need to suffer this." Shi Dafan advised.
"Since I have made the choice, it means I am ready."
Tan Xiaolin looked at Shi Dafan and said, "Also, I'm no longer a political instructor. I'm just a new recruit."
After saying that, Tan Xiaolin signed the agreement without even looking at it.
"Sign without reading the content?" Shi Dafan was puzzled.
"What difference does it make whether you read the unfair terms or not?" said Tan Xiaolin.
Although the recruits were dissatisfied, they still signed the agreement silently.
After signing the agreement, Shi Dafan and his team gave each person a piece of white paper.
Before writing their suicide notes, the recruits were still relatively calm.
But when I really faced this piece of white paper with a pen in my hand, my thoughts seemed to suddenly stop.
They want to write something, but they don't know what to write.
Just as I was about to start writing, the figures of my parents and the faces of my relatives appeared in my mind.
Being able to get to this point means that they are ready to make sacrifices at any time.
