A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 510 Promotion to Major, A World Without Thieves, Sha Gen Appears
Special operations team meeting room.

Feng Yuxiu stood outside and took a deep breath. "Report!"

"Come in!"

He Zhijun's voice rang out with a slight echo.

Feng Yuxiu pushed open the door and entered; there was no one else inside except He Zhijun.

"Close the door." He Zhijun said without turning his head, his back to Feng Yuxiu and looking outside.

Feng Yuxiu closed the door behind him and then stood at the doorway staring at He Zhijun.

"I never expected... I never expected your detailed file to surprise me so much..."

"A twenty-four-year-old second lieutenant, promoted from a regular soldier... the price he would have to pay in peacetime would be unimaginable."

Feng Yuxiu listened quietly, waiting for He Zhijun to say "but" or "however".

I was called here not to spout this bunch of nonsense.

He Zhijun turned around and looked at Feng Yuxiu with admiration, then smiled and said, "I have good news for you: a direct promotion order from the Central Military Commission."

"Among this batch of officers, you are the only young major."

"what?"

Feng Yuxiu seemed a little lost in thought and asked the same question again.

He Zhijun opened the document on the table, raised it with a gentle smile, and announced to Feng Yuxiu, "Order: Feng Yuxiu is hereby promoted from Captain to Major."

Upon hearing that he had entered the ranks of school officers, Feng Yuxiu was still somewhat lost in thought.

Although he was unruly in his previous life, the rank of major was an extremely high rank.

"Isn't this a bit too fast? Even if I were the youngest, I wouldn't be able to be promoted to the rank of major until I'm thirty."

A 24-year-old soldier being promoted to major is already considered to be advancing at breakneck speed.

Seeing Feng Yuxiu's humility, He Zhijun smiled.

He was very satisfied with the young man's composure and calmness.

He then burst into laughter, pointing at Feng Yuxiu and tapping his finger, "Too fast? Have you ever seen a 28-year-old major? Have you ever seen someone go from second lieutenant to lieutenant colonel in two years?"

"Nothing is impossible in this world. You've done more than enough, and the commander has seen it. The military region made the decision after a meeting. All the procedures are in accordance with regulations. Don't feel flattered just because it was done so quickly. Special talents should be treated specially."

"Compared to you, it's actually slow... because if you haven't made a significant promotion by the time you're thirty, you'll be stuck at the rank of colonel for life, just like me..."

He Zhijun said a lot of comforting words, but it all boiled down to one sentence: geniuses are treated with special privileges.

"Let me tell you one last thing, you're not the most outrageous one among this batch of promotions... Get ready for the conferment ceremony later."

"Yes."

Feng Yuxiu turned and left, a smile appearing on his lips the instant he closed the door.

-

Inside the auditorium of the Lone Wolf Brigade.

Led by He Zhijun, the high school team and other representatives stood solemnly in their regular clothes.

Feng Yuxiu and the other eight officers stood in a row.

"Play the military song!"

As the military anthem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army began, everyone stood at attention and saluted.

Then a colonel stepped forward and announced in a loud voice, "Promotion of officers for the Lone Wolf Brigade of the Southeast Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army begins."

He Zhijun stepped forward and began to announce, "In accordance with the order for promotion of military ranks, the promotion ceremony for the eight officers including Feng Yuxiu is hereby officially held."

Feng Yuxiu remained calm and solemn throughout.

After everyone finished speaking, the ceremony concluded with a military song.

This marked the end of the iconic officer promotion ceremony.

Feng Yuxiu thought about it carefully. Since being promoted from soldier to captain, he seemed to have never participated in such a solemn and dignified ceremony.

"A major? He's only twenty years old, right? A major who was promoted from a soldier? That's incredible."

Mada still felt it was a bit exaggerated, as the other majors were all officers who had graduated from military academies.

They are all in technical positions, and most of them are in their thirties.

What about Feng Yuxiu? He served in the military for six years, rising from a soldier to a major.

The shock of this incident still left the veterans of the Lone Wolf Squad speechless.

"I looked at his resume..."

Looking at Feng Yuxiu in the crowd, Gao Zhong said, "In six years, his achievements were remarkable, even in wartime."

Gray Wolf took a deep breath, "He's so terrifying, and he's only twenty-four... only twenty-four..."

Gray Wolf had been saying this many times: he had only ever been a second-class sergeant major his entire life, while Feng Yuxiu, who was so much younger than him, had already reached the rank of major.

too exaggerated.

"You want to ask for leave?"

He Zhijun frowned and stared at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu nodded, "I need to go back home; there are some things to take care of. I need to make sure I don't miss any of these training badges."

He Zhijun was silent for a few seconds. "I am quite confident in your military skills, but this squad has just been established. How long will you be on leave?"

"One month."

“Let me think about it…” He Zhijun paced back and forth, thinking. “A month is too long. Fifteen days, at most fifteen days, is enough for you to accomplish anything.”

"Understood, fifteen days."

He Zhijun looked at Feng Yuxiu and said, "I know the significance and purpose of your coming to the Southeast Theater Command. As long as you can lead a special forces team that is the sharpest weapon in the country, your future will be bright. A major who is twenty-four years old and has not gone to military academy is already considered to have a promising future in the strict sense."

"Understood." Feng Yuxiu nodded. "Then I'll go pack up first?"

"So, tell me, who in this squad can temporarily serve as acting captain? Who do you think is the best? Fifteen days is neither a long nor a short time, but it's a significant span for training."

Feng Yuxiu thought about it carefully, "There are two people, Chen Guotao and Geng Jihui, but I think Chen Guotao is better in terms of military skills."

He Zhijun's eyes flickered. "I understand. I will take your opinion into consideration."

-

-

The multimedia classroom converted from a garage.

He Zhijun personally gave a speech to the group of special forces recruits.

Feng Yuxiu stood beside him.

When Chen Guotao and the others saw Feng Yuxiu's epaulets, everyone's eyes widened.

"My goodness! It's only been less than six hours, how did the captain get promoted to major? It's like a dream."

Deng Zhenhua's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

Shi Dafan took a deep breath. "What do you mean by lightning speed? This is lightning speed. Six hours passed between the captain and the major. The difference is enormous."

Geng Jihui's eyes blazed with even stronger fighting spirit.

No wonder he is his idol. When he saw Feng Yuxiu's deeds on the military website, he secretly decided that he must become such a powerful soldier king.

Now he's starting to fall behind the king of soldiers, but doesn't that give him more motivation to catch up?
The captain's address is a hallmark of every new recruit joining the team.

He Zhijun continued, "It just so happens that your captain is going on leave for half a month, and during these two weeks..."

He paused, looked around, and said, "Geng Jihui will take over as acting captain."

The newbies didn't have any objections, since according to military rank, Geng Jihui should have been promoted naturally.

Feng Yuxiu, standing behind him, glanced at him. He was the first to recommend Chen Guotao, but it was clear that He Zhijun favored Geng Jihui more. Or perhaps there was a personal bias involved.

He didn't care about that; he had fifteen days to deal with all the remaining ailments.

Captain He's voice was loud and clear, full of energy: "Welcome everyone to the 026 Logistics Warehouse! Don't let the ordinary name fool you, we're a special task force dedicated to high-difficulty and special missions."

The newbies below listened with their eyes lit up, full of energy.

"Mountains and forests, deserts and Gobi, cities and countryside, islands at sea, even hijacked oil tankers, airplanes, cars and trains, anywhere you can think of could be your target!"
No matter when or what methods you use, you must get to where you're supposed to be and cleanly and efficiently eliminate the enemy!

The newbies were inspired by this momentum and were eager to get started.

"Let me tell you the truth: getting into 026 isn't the end of the story; the tougher training has only just begun!"
All training has one goal: to make you faster, more accurate, and more ruthless, to do your jobs better, and to make those enemies never dare to oppose China again.

If they can still figure things out once they get down there!

That's all I have to say!

He raised his hand in salute, and the rookies stood up to return the salute.

After saying that, he left, and the high school team leader followed him out.

The newbies in the classroom burst into laughter.

Mada raised his arm and shouted, "Alright, Team B! Now come with me, I'll teach you how to fire a gun inside a building without hurting the hostages. Are you all ready?"

The newbies shouted in unison, "Ready!"

-

The following day, Feng Yuxiu, carrying a backpack and various documents, walked out of the Lone Wolf Brigade training camp.

A military off-road vehicle was parked at the entrance, making a roaring sound.

"Sir, I'll take you to the station."

The driver, a non-commissioned officer, hurriedly got out of the car and saluted.

Feng Yuxiu nodded in return, "Let's drive."

"Yes."

The vehicle started and drove away from the entrance of the Lone Wolf Brigade.

Along the way, the scenery on both sides turned lush and green, with tender buds sprouting from the tips of the withered leaves, beginning to taint the decaying late winter.

The car eventually stopped at the station.

The sergeant got out of the car and quickly opened the door. "Sir, we've arrived at the station. Here's your ticket."

Feng Yuxiu took the ticket and nodded. "Go back."

"Yes!"

Feng Yuxiu stepped into the waiting room to wait; his first stop was to understand some of his inner conflicts.

And I need to go check on some things.

So he went to Wangdu Village to learn more and, incidentally, to clear away some of the impurities that he hadn't had time to deal with last time.

Clang, clang!

The green train clattered away from the station.

The train stopped midway to wait, and Feng Yuxiu got up to use the restroom, carrying his backpack on his back the whole time.

Pickpockets in this era have become professionalized and organized in gangs. If you're not careful, you can be robbed by pickpockets who roam around everywhere.

Although he didn't have anything valuable on him, he didn't want to let these upsetting things delay him.

"Which one of you is the thief? Step forward so I can see."

A shouting voice came from the car door.

Feng Yuxiu stepped out and glanced over. The person who made the sound was a short man wearing a yellow warm hat and a blue cotton coat.

The moment the man finished shouting, a man and a woman curiously moved closer.

The woman, wearing a red hat and fashionable glasses, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Silly Gen!"

"Hey, big sister, what are you doing here?"

The woman laughed and said, "I'm going back to my hometown."

With an innocent look on his face, Shagen asked, "Everyone, have you ever seen a thief?"

In that instant, Feng Yuxiu saw the muscles in the man's and woman's faces begin to tighten.

There were at least five or six people around, all staring at Shagen.

The man next to the woman immediately stepped forward, saying, "I've seen it before, I've seen thieves."

Shagen asked curiously, "What does that thief look like?"

The woman slapped the man on the shoulder. "Go away, stop teasing my silly brother. By the way, brother, my name is Wang Li, and this is my man, Wang Bo. We can go together since we're going the same way."

"Okay, big sister."

Feng Yuxiu glanced at it and then turned back to continue staring into the car.

Five or six figures with their eyes on him boarded the train one after another and stood at the junction of the carriages. They never looked directly at anyone, always glancing away out of the corner of their eyes.

Feng Yuxiu revealed a faint smile, looking as if there were so many thieves in the car.

Has he fallen into a den of thieves?

-

At the same time, Wang Bo and Wang Li got into the car from the side.

Wang Bo, chewing on a toothpick, asked curiously, "I haven't seen him before. When did you meet this silly little brother of yours?"

Wang Li suddenly turned around and warned, "Stay away from him!"

Wang Bo smiled knowingly. "I have to teach him a lesson. This kid has no respect for thieves. He's blatantly provoking the two kingpins of Jiangnan. I need to show him what the wickedness of society is like, or he'll suffer sooner or later."

The green trains don't have assigned seats; passengers just grab whatever seat they can get on and sit there.

Just then, the person next to Feng Yuxiu got off at the transfer station, leaving three empty seats next to him.

Shagen rushed over carrying large and small bags, blocking all the seats with his body and shouting, "Big brother, big sister, these are empty seats, come over here!"

Wang Bo smiled and lowered his voice to Wang Li, "This child really treats us like family. So, you sit next to him and I'll sit opposite him."

The two placed their woven bags of luggage on the shelf and then sat down.

After Wang Bo sat down, he glanced at Sha Gen, then turned his head and glanced at Feng Yuxiu, who was also resting with his eyes closed.

Clearly, the young man next to him wasn't planning on starting a conversation.

On the aisle seat to Wang Bo's left, a man with a full beard sat down casually, his eyes quickly scanning the back of the person leaning against the chair.

Beside the man, a woman with pigtails was playing with her right fingernails. Both of them kept their eyes on Wang Bo and Wang Li.

From the seats further away, five or six pairs of eyes would occasionally sweep over.

The car was about to leave when suddenly a loud cough rang out.

The sound made Feng Yuxiu open his eyes. A bald old man with a cane was staggering over.

Feng Yuxiu smiled; with the coordination of his skeletal structure, the old man's actual age was not that old.

And when he looked up and around, a sharp ray of light pierced through him.

"This is getting interesting. We've really fallen into a den of thieves, but I like it."

Feng Yuxiu glanced at that silly guy, Sha Gen, with a slight tilt of his head.

Does this kid have a lot of money? He's being targeted by others.

However, the man and woman on the left seem more like... police officers in terms of their skills and demeanor...

Is a capture scene about to unfold?
Anyway, the journey is still long, and Feng Yuxiu will be on the train for two days and two nights, which will be a good way to relieve his boredom.
