Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 166 If Qi Hui can do it, then I can do it too!
"Huh? Me?" Qi Hui looked completely bewildered.

When his name was suddenly called, his heart skipped a beat... Had I been caught slacking off? No way!

Besides, I'm not really a new recruit, so slacking off a bit won't hurt, right?

"Yes, it's you!" Wang Hong said with a dark face. "Aren't you a special forces soldier?"

"Lone Wolf Team B, the elite of the elite, let's broaden our horizons!"

"Report, I am Jiang Xiaoyu!" Qi Hui completely ignored his provocation:

"Jiang Xiaoyu is a notorious rookie. He's bad at physical fitness and military skills. He's the worst in the Beast Camp..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wang Hong roared, interrupting Qi Hui's rambling.

"Hahaha……"

"Is this really necessary to be so funny?"

The novice actors watched the two talking and couldn't stop laughing.

They all suspected that the person in front of them wasn't Xiao Zhuang, but rather an ostrich that was there specifically to make people laugh.

With no other option, Qi Hui stepped forward, put on the helmet and ammunition pouch that had just been delivered, slung the Type 95 rifle over his shoulder, and took four heavy magazines.

Of course, the rifle and magazine were all fake.

It's a model that was made, and weights were added to simulate a real rifle and magazine.

Only the weight and appearance are real; everything else is fake.

After taking his equipment, Qi Hui looked at Wang Hong.

"Begin!" Wang Hong ordered.

Qi Hui's lips twitched. At least explain the key points. Are you trying to rush me so much that you don't give me any time to rest?
With no other option, Qi Hui immediately began adjusting the tightness of the gun strap, securing it tightly to his body.

The spring clips are also tightened to make them fit as closely as possible to the body.

The sea is different from the land; there is greater resistance and the waves are turbulent, so you must secure everything around you and eliminate unnecessary resistance.

This is actually a basic requirement for armed swimming.

Soon, Qi Hui secured his helmet and gun tightly to his back. With everything ready, Qi Hui leaped into the sea.

He pulls the water with one arm, coordinating with scissor kicks, and occasionally switches between his left and right arms.
This is a sidestroke, which makes it easier to observe the environment and save energy. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be spotted and it is slow.

However, since Wang Hong didn't specify a time, Qi Hui wasn't in a hurry.

Wang Hong was dumbfounded by Qi Hui's series of actions. No... you really know how?
He quickly picked up his binoculars to observe, and soon he saw Qi Hui breathing rhythmically through the binoculars.

Inhale briefly while paddling, and exhale by turning your body to the side and turning your head. This is to avoid the physical exertion caused by large and rapid breathing.

When encountering surging waves, he held his breath to prevent water from choking his mouth and nose... Qi Hui's every movement was extremely natural, as if he had practiced for a long time.

Let alone actors, even within a Marine brigade, this level of armed swimming skill is quite impressive.

Wang Hong stared at Qi Hui, stunned. This... this was learned from the army?
Is the army's armed swimming ability that good?
And they even taught you all of this?
"It seems pretty simple."

"Swimming is no problem."

"That's right. I've been swimming in the river near my home since I was a child. I can dive in and never come up again."

"I'm pretty much the same. My friends call me 'White Streak in the Waves'."

"Who would dare to play a Marine if they didn't have some talent?"

A group of novice actors stood with their arms crossed, watching Qi Hui splashing around in the sea from afar, feeling completely relaxed.

They were exhausted just now, but now the training can finally be a little easier.

It's just swimming, it's not difficult. At worst, you can just move over little by little.

Swimming for an hour or two shouldn't be a problem, right?

Twenty minutes later, Qi Hui slowly walked ashore, his face not red and his legs not weak, as if he had walked about a kilometer.

Wang Hong glanced at Qi Hui, then pointed to the sea: "Twenty push-ups on the beach."

"What the hell...why?" Qi Hui stared wide-eyed. He had finally managed to save up some energy by slacking off, and now this happened again?

"Because you didn't put in any effort just now!" Wang Hong sneered. "So many people were working hard to carry the wood, and you just pretended to do it, baring your teeth and making faces, but didn't put in any effort at all."

"Think beautifully!"

Qi Hui: “…”

You noticed that?

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't, that's not true!" Qi Hui retorted, cursing and refusing to admit it.

But all they could do were obediently do push-ups facing the waves. How absurd! Is slacking off wrong?

On the other side, Wang Hong didn't give the other rookie actors time to watch the show. He randomly picked two and had them start swimming in armor.

These two are Fan Haolun and Bai Wei, who play Zhao Ziwu and Xiang Yu, respectively.

The two had specifically practiced swimming before joining the crew, and seeing how relaxed Qi Hui was just now, they didn't take it to heart.

However... as soon as he took the rifle and magazine, his expression changed.

It's a bit heavy!
Not only is the gun heavy, but the magazine is also very heavy!
These magazines are all designed to simulate the weight of a full load. Including the one on the gun, there are five in total, and they are incredibly heavy.

"Begin!" Wang Hong shouted.

The two could only follow Qi Hui's example, strapping their guns to their bodies and slowly walking towards the sea.

However, while these two tried to imitate Qi Hui, they didn't quite get it right.

The guns were loosely attached, and their helmets weren't properly fastened. As soon as they entered the water, their considerable weight pressed down on them, causing their expressions to change drastically.

If Qi Hui can do it, so can I... They are all young people, and they are not convinced at all. They dragged their heavy equipment and swam hard towards the buoy.

These two are in great shape; they actually reached the buoy.

But a major problem arose on the way back, as seawater kept crashing against the guns and equipment.

Soon, the guns were loose and hanging down on their bodies, leaving them with only one free hand to hold onto them.

However, swimming with one hand is not a good thing for them; it's slow and very strenuous.

Soon, something bad happened!

The two of them, one in front of the other, sank into the water, leaving only one hand sticking out of the water.

The sound of a motorboat rang out, and two naval soldiers quickly jumped into the water, rescued them, and brought them ashore.

The two men grimaced and rubbed their arm muscles, unable to get up from the beach; they were both cramping.

At this, all the rookie actors' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Qi Hui with disbelief.

How can this be?

Could it be that they taught some real skills in the Southeast Military Region?
Are special forces soldiers really special forces soldiers?
Wang Hong, his face dark, immediately called for the next person to go into the water and try it out.

I refuse to believe that the navy is inferior to the army at sea.

……

evening.

Inside a building adorned with a military flag, several middle-aged men were smoking and chatting.

"This spring, the army's recruitment quota has exceeded its target again."

"Conscript?"

"No, they all exceeded the limit. From conscripts to military academies, there were quite a few applicants."

"I Am a Special Forces Soldier was so effective?"

"Sigh... what can we do when we don't have an aircraft carrier?"

"That's true. Having an aircraft carrier would solve all the problems."

"What did the higher-ups say about this?"

"It'll be ready soon, I'm sure."

"Damn it, how many years have I heard that?"

"They don't disclose any progress information, and they keep it from even their own people."

"Stop complaining and mind your discipline."

"Oh, I almost forgot. There was a funny story circulating in the barracks yesterday. It's said that an old soldier went out to pick someone up, drank some alcohol, and couldn't drive, so he hired two designated drivers. Then he pushed the car into the barracks... Hahaha, he was quite disciplined."

"Damn, these soldiers are really good at messing around... Let's go take a stroll downstairs."

"Huh? You're really going?"

"Of course, how can we not go? If we don't go, those old soldiers will be causing a huge uproar!"

"Okay, let's find an excuse to send them back for retraining."

As they spoke, the group grabbed their clothes and made phone calls.

Not long after, two jeeps arrived and took the group away.
