When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 2: The Northwest Wolf Brigade!

Xu Ge's home is in a small town, and it takes almost an hour to drive from home to Queshan County.

Xu Zhijun focused on driving on the mountain road, while Bai Jing opened the suitcase in the back seat to check if anything had been forgotten.

"Old Xu, where is Xiao Ge going to serve in the army? Is it far away? Do they allow family members to visit him in the army?"

"What's wrong? Your son hasn't even left yet, and you're already thinking of chasing after him to the base?"

Xu Zhijun felt that the old Volkswagen was a bit underpowered. After turning off the air conditioning, he said, "I heard Minister Liu say last time that Xiao Ge was assigned to the anti-aircraft artillery regiment in Suzhou and Hangzhou. That's not bad."

Hearing this, Xu Ge couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dad, since the unit I'm serving in has been determined and the enlistment notice has been issued, why do I still need to do a physical test? What if I don't pass the physical test? Will I be rejected?"

"Did I raise you for nothing all these years?"

Xu Zhijun said proudly, "Don't worry, I've checked, your pre-enlistment training results are among the best!"

Xu Ge thought about it and realized that if he failed the physical test with his current physical condition, there probably wouldn't be many people in the whole county who could pass.

It's worth noting that her father has always emphasized physical exercise since she was a child, and he would create special training and nutrition plans for her every winter and summer vacation.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Ge consistently achieved perfect scores in physical education during his school years, and he also ranked among the top in all events during the week of pre-enlistment training. Standing at 178 cm tall and weighing 136 kg, he was a perfect candidate for military service.

"Dad, do you know how orders are issued in the military?"

Xu Ge was now able to skillfully put away or summon the semi-transparent token at any time, and he was certain of one thing: no one but himself could see the token.

"Of course I do!"

Xu Zhijun, a seasoned military enthusiast, immediately explained, "Army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad, the higher-ups manage the lower-ups, and superiors issue orders to subordinates."

"Then who can I give orders to if I go there?"

"What are you thinking? You'll be a greenhorn when you go there, unable to command anyone, and you'll have to obey everyone's orders!"

Xu Ge: "..."

His father's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Xu Ge, immediately extinguishing most of his joy at being bound to the cheat system.

I wonder if this military command system follows the rules of the military. If so, wouldn't all our excitement have been for nothing?
You can't unlock new skill slots if you can't train others, unless you work your way up to an officer or position in the military.

That would be a long time coming!

"No, I need to figure this out as soon as possible!" Xu Ge thought to himself.

. . .

. . .

At 4:30 p.m., Xu Zhijun parked the car in front of the county armed forces department and then called Xu Ge and Bai Jing to get out of the car.

In the courtyard, Minister Liu of the Armed Forces Department was making preparations for the troop deployment. Upon seeing Xu Ge's family arrive, he immediately came over.

"Minister Liu, why are there only a few people here?" Xu Zhijun stepped forward to shake hands and asked with some surprise.

After listening to his father's words, Xu Ge looked into the yard and found that only four or five new recruits had arrived.

According to his understanding, the number of people enlisting in the army this year in the entire county exceeds fifty.

"These six people, including your son, were selected temporarily. They passed the test and will set off tonight!" Minister Liu smiled mysteriously.

Bai Jing grew anxious: "Set off tonight?"

"Minister Liu, is everyone here?"

Suddenly, a rough voice rang out from the side.

Xu Ge looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark-faced second lieutenant in camouflage walking over. Unlike the other new recruits, he wore an armband with a wolf's head on it. Minister Liu seemed to have great respect for the newcomer, quickly going over to shake his hand with a smile: "Comrade Luo Shan, you've come at the right time! All six new recruits have just arrived!"

The second lieutenant named Luo Shan glanced at all the new recruits, including Xu Ge, and nodded: "Parents, stay where you are. New recruits, come with me to the parade ground."

After saying this, Luo Shan turned and walked towards the armed forces department's drill ground, and Xu Ge and the other six new recruits immediately followed.

After the new recruits had gone some distance, Xu Zhijun immediately pulled Minister Liu aside and whispered, "Minister Liu, who is this person? Where is that officer from the anti-aircraft artillery regiment who was in charge of recruiting last time?"

Minister Liu: "Comrade Luo Shan is also here to receive new recruits, but he has the right to choose new recruits first. So, the six best recruits from our county have come here ahead of time."

"Which unit does this Comrade Luo Shan belong to?" Xu Zhijun offered him a cigarette and then asked.

Minister Liu didn't say anything, but smiled and patted his left upper arm.

Xu Zhijun recalled the design on the Luoshan armband and asked uncertainly, "The Wolf Brigade from the Northwest?"

Minister Liu smiled and nodded.

Xu Zhijun was somewhat surprised: "Why are they recruiting here?"

"Have you forgotten that this is where this unit was originally established?" Minister Liu said in a low voice. "Every year, whenever there are promising talents, they send people to take a look."

Bai Jing immediately tugged at her husband's arm: "What Northwest Wolf Brigade? What do they do? You mean Xiao Ge is going to the Northwest?"

As a seasoned military enthusiast, Xu Zhijun was quite familiar with this renowned special operations brigade. He said seriously, "They are responsible for counter-terrorism and stability maintenance in the Northwest region and rapid response missions on the border. They also cover Central Asia and South Asia. They are a true special forces unit!"

"Huh? Special forces! This involves counter-terrorism and operations in Central and South Asia. Isn't it very dangerous?"

Bai Jing panicked immediately, "Old Xu, we can't let Xiao Ge go there!"

"That's a woman's perspective! Do you think the military is a game, where you can go wherever you want?"

Xu Zhijun glared at him, "Xiao Ge is now a member of the military. No matter where he is assigned, he must obey orders. We, as his parents, have no say in this!"

. . .

. . .

On the parade ground, Luo Shan led the new recruits to the track: "Run two laps around the parade ground first to warm up your bodies."

It's summer now, and with Xu Ge and the other six all wearing camouflage training uniforms, they were all sweating profusely after two laps.

While running, Luo Shan kept observing the six new recruits and occasionally jotting something down in his notebook.

"Today's test is very simple, just two things. Just relax and do your best."

Luo Shan had the new recruits stand in a row with their distance between them. "First, everyone close your eyes and stand on one leg, left or right foot is fine. I'll demonstrate for you first."

After saying that, Luo Shan stretched out his arms and stood on one leg like a rooster, then closed his eyes.

"Have you seen everything clearly?"

"clear!"

"Okay, let's begin."

Luo Shan took out a stopwatch. "If you cheat with your eyes open, your score will be zero!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ge immediately closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, and lifted his right foot.

The next moment, he immediately felt his body's center of gravity uncontrollably tilting to the right. He quickly dug his left foot into the ground and adjusted the height of his arms to maintain his balance.

As a result, his whole body immediately began to sway, and he could fall down at any moment!

This was Xu Ge's first time doing this move. He thought it looked quite simple when Luo Shan demonstrated it, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!
The other person was holding a stopwatch, clearly intending to time them, but it was unclear how long they needed to stand for it to be considered acceptable.
