Chapter 1286: A Powerful Country Has No Weak Army

“You two can talk.” Li Jinnian stood up. “If you have any questions, ask Big Shark first. If he can’t answer, you can ask me.”

When chatting with female soldiers, they were unfamiliar with things they had never done before. It was suitable to hand them to the vice-captain cum counselor.

Ye Jian stood up and saluted as the highest-ranking major left. Her slender figure was straightened by the light. She stood like a lighthouse. Even when the boat swayed along with the waves, she didn’t shake at all.

The journey lasted for four hours. Ye Jian didn’t ask about the battles at sea or the close combat. Instead, she asked about the training period of the frogmen.

This was a good question. Big Shark, who felt that she didn’t have much time to train, said earnestly, “All members of the Storm Commando Brigade go through four months of elimination training. Those who can pass through multiple rounds of selection can’t carry out missions immediately… After 18 months of basic training, professional training, and six months of mission deployment, they are considered to have just joined. And to participate in the first underwater mission, they will need to go through advanced training around December.”

In other words, it would take almost three years to groom an outstanding frogman.

Ye Jian felt respect for them!

“Being outstanding in our first mission, doesn’t mean that we will continue to be outstanding in the future. We still need to learn and strengthen new skills. We need to maintain our peak state at all times. If we can fight, we will win!”

“Our country’s first commando frogmen team is our Storm Commando Brigade. It’s the only special forces unit that isn’t under the jurisdiction of the various military districts.”

“Our unit hasn’t been established for long. There are too many things to learn. Take the recent Southeast Asian countries as an example. Every member of the 126th Naval Commando Brigade of the Vietnamese People’s Army can stay underwater for more than 20 hours. We’re not as good as them.”

“We were formed late so we need to undergo strict training. There are no weak soldiers in a strong country. Only strong soldiers can make a strong country!”

A country would only have the capital to stand proudly in the world if its military strength increased!

She didn’t ask about the battles on the sea or the close combat. Instead, she gained a deeper understanding of the brigade.

Then, she learned about the frogmen forces in Western countries and the difference between them and China.

It was a gain for Ye Jian too. She knew that even if she went through hellish training, she would only learn the tip of the iceberg. If she wanted to learn more, she would need at least two years to become an outstanding frogman.

If she could, she would want to come to the frogmen army every winter and summer vacation to learn.

At 11 pm, Ye Jian woke up from her sleep and saw the lighthouse that guided the ships. They had reached the port.

Ye Jian alighted from the warship and stepped on the solid cement ground. She looked at the bright lights and smiled. She had been accompanying the sea for more than a month.

The feeling of stepping on solid ground… was very reassuring.

Ye Jian didn’t return to the camp immediately. She wanted to call Grandpa Gen and ask him about her situation. She wanted to get Li Jinnian’s permission to bring her to the phone booth.

At midnight, Principal Chen received a call from Ye Jian.

“We are at ease since Captain Xia took you away. Nothing happened at home. Girl, don’t worry about us.” After receiving Ye Jian’s call, Principal Chen didn’t even feel sleepy anymore. He answered her questions one after another in a clear voice. “Uncle Gen’s health is good too. Illnesses visit people as they age. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
