The interview with Chen Ming did not last long, and Chai Shuyao had to go to other recruits to take notes.
This year, because the number of recruits in the training center is not very large, and the army is preparing for winter training, the army only gave them one day for the evaluation.
She was pressed for time.
Although the conversation with Chen Ming just lasted only for more than 20 minutes, Chai Shuyao had a deep impression on Chen Ming.
Chen Ming gives people the impression that she has a strong purpose and a high collective honor. She is a very pure soldier, which makes her not like she is facing new recruits.
It's more like chatting with a veteran.
Especially what she said about the military spirit made her feel slightly ashamed. Faced with the olive branches offered by many units on the 1st, if it were other recruits, they would have to be somewhat arrogant and talk in front of the camera.
This Chen Ming just went against the grain, why did he talk about the spirit of the army and the honor of artillery with him?
Chai Shuyao couldn't understand what the recruit was thinking. Before leaving, she looked back at Chen Ming many times. If time didn't allow, she would have insisted on talking for a while.
After all, Chai Shuyao is not very young, so she is more interested in Chen Ming's unconventional behavior than in serious interviews.
The interview is over.
Watching the people from the Propaganda Department leave, Chen Ming shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the competition venue.
When it comes to interviews, what he says must be half-truths and half-falsies. Chen Ming boasts that he can still grasp this. He doesn't know whether the content of his interview can be published in military newspapers or whether it can be seen as a model in other troops.
But at least he understands something.
It is far better to say to the camera: "I want to take first place. My goal is to be first." It is far better to say: "As a member of the artillery brigade, my participation in the competition is to bring glory to our brigade, so my goal is to be first." "It comes with more feeling.
Since the army is a collective, we must first consider the collective honor, and then talk about individuals, who are more likely to be featured in military newspapers.
Chen Ming understands these.
.......
The evaluation of the 400-meter obstacle course lasted about an hour and a half and finally came to an end.
The police officers began to evacuate from the competition venue one after another. The top 300 individual soldiers were counted in this competition. When the next subject begins, only 300 people can participate in the competition.
Zhao Lifei returned to the waiting area of the Second Brigade with a group of six people participating in the competition. He looked at the soldiers he had brought out, and he became more and more happy as he looked at them.
Grinning widely, he said: "Haha, Chen Ming, your 400-meter score was pretty good this time. Except for you and that Ye Qingwen, no one has ever scored within one minute and forty seconds."
"In this category, if nothing unexpected happens, you are still number one."
"That Yang Shengli and Li Kaizhao are only one minute and forty-five seconds and one minute and forty-six seconds. They are far behind."
Zhao Lifei shook his head and sighed. Before this year's competition, the record for the 400-meter obstacle course in the recruit competition was one minute and 48 seconds. Unexpectedly, this year he broke the previous record four times in a row.
I am afraid that it will be difficult for new recruits to beat Chen Ming's performance in the future. Even if veterans from various units come over, not many people can surpass it.
This year's batch of recruits are so ruthless.
"Well, let's take a half-hour break. The police department doesn't tally up the results so quickly. The next one is pull-ups, Chen Ming."
"arrive."
"You have to work hard. The focus of pull-ups is quantity, not endurance. If you stop for ten seconds and fail to pull up, the police will directly record the results and persuade you to quit. You will not be allowed to continue."
"So you don't have to worry about the physical loss at the beginning. Just work hard and do as much as you can. If you can get first place in this category, then you will definitely be in the top three in this year's recruit evaluation."
"It doesn't matter even if your performance in subsequent subjects is slightly worse. If you can maintain your current momentum, you will be ranked first in the overall score in the recruit competition."
First?
Hearing the excitement in the squad leader's tone, Wang Shuaibing and Wei Chongchong involuntarily clenched their fists.
He ranked first in the competition for recruits in the entire military region. Before setting off, they just thought that the squad deputy should have good grades and get a good ranking, but they never thought about being first.
That's too far away.
A group of people who had never gotten first place in school and had been awarded little red flowers came to join the army. They had never thought much about the achievement of being first in the entire army.
But now, it's so close.
"Hey, Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to get to this point. Come on, third-class personal merit. I'm such a good boy. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to get there in this life."
Wang Shuaibing shook his head and sighed. There was envy, surprise, and more of shock in his eyes, a shock beyond recognition.
After all, regarding the idea of getting first place in the competition, the positions are different and the goals are completely different.
As long as the recruits at the training center perform well, they dare to think about it, because they don't need to consider the artillery brigade, the number is too small.
But for the artillery brigade recruits, if they want to get first place, no matter how good they perform in the recruit company, when they come to the competition field, the training center is a big mountain in front of them.
However, this is normal. It is natural for four or five thousand people to look down upon you for more than four hundred people. How can you look down upon four or five thousand people for you when you have more than four hundred people?
That doesn't make sense.
What's rare is that this time Wang Shuaibing sighed and Zhao Lifei didn't scold him.
really.
He himself didn't expect that Chen Ming could really reach this point. Before setting off, he still thought that it would be good to enter the top 20, or the top 30.
In the top ten, the artillery brigade was not included in the evaluation in previous years.
"Each group or team arranges for representatives to come over to check the list of participants for the next game, so hurry up."
The sound of police notification came in the distance. Zhao Lifei turned around and walked out. As he walked, he turned back and said: "Chen Ming, Ma Dazhu, you two, be prepared. Your results should be firmly in the top 300."
"Dong Ke, get ready. Jiang Pai is going to get the entry list. I'll follow and have a look."
"Yes, monitor."
Chen Ming agreed casually and stood still without moving. What preparations did he have for the pull-up competition?
Since the rules have been set and cannot stop for more than ten seconds, he just needs to control it.
If there was a possibility of losing in the extreme weight-bearing run, and there were masters in the 400-meter obstacle course, he really didn't believe anyone could compete with him in the pull-up.
Others don’t know, but Chen Ming gets up an hour and a half early every day, and when training himself, he either runs obstacles or pulls the horizontal bar.
Many times he would bring his own towel and Wang Shuaibing's towel together, and would tie his hands to the top of the horizontal bar and hang them for an hour.
The legs are not touching the ground.
He is able to gallop on the training field not just by talking about it.
Instead, he gritted his teeth and persisted day after day.
While the squad leader left, Chen Ming raised his head and looked at the location of the martial arts field. Unexpectedly, Commander Luo Wentong and Chief of Staff Changjiang Zhenjun had returned.
On the parade stage, there were many people from the Joint Logistics Department placing vases and pulling up the red carpet, making the front part of the stage more eye-catching.
From this look, you can tell that the evaluation has entered the final stage. The stage is beautifully decorated. It requires video recording when conferring military honors, so naturally it requires some effort.
Chen Ming took a deep breath and looked up in the direction of the police, waiting for the next item to arrive.
