Girls und War

Xia Shu thought about it and it seemed to make sense. But then he asked, "Isn't Rabbit God going to participate in the competition?"

"I'm not participating." Chunxiang shook her head. "I heard that after being defeated by you last year, I felt that there was no point in continuing to work hard, so I started to think about quitting."

"This..." Xia Shu was a little embarrassed.

It seems that winning the championship is not as comfortable as imagined. He beat others to retirement right away.

But Xia Shu suddenly had an idea and asked, "Eh? Do you think she would agree if I asked the Rabbit God to come and teach me?"

"Ah?" Haruka seemed startled by Xia Shu's idea and didn't know how to respond for a moment. But after thinking it over, she smiled and said, "I don't know if she will come. But if she does, won't I be out of a job?"

"No." Xia Shu replied immediately.

"What? There are two sniper instructors in one training team?"

"When the time comes, you will join the team as a special forces member. Why do you have to be an instructor?" Xia Shu asked curiously.

Haruka smiled, and no one knew what she thought of Xia Shu's suggestion.

But since Xia Shu said so, he must have already thought of the follow-up plan.

Chunxiang's mindset has gradually become lazy without her realizing it. If someone is willing to give her advice, she will definitely not think about the future development direction.

Maybe this is what they mean by "one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years."

In the following few days, Xia Shu spent a relaxing period before the New Year in the base.

During this period, Feng Zheng arranged the team members' pre-match training, so Xia Shu didn't have to worry about it at all.

I have to say that veterans are veterans and they are still very experienced.

In just a few days, all the players were quickly adjusted to their best condition before the game.

Every time Xia Shu went to watch, he found that the mental state of the girls in the team was much higher than that of the players in other regions.

The most important thing was Special Forces Team 3. Xia Shu had no idea what method Feng Kite had used. They were clearly separated now, feeling extremely depressed because of the previous match in the Chicken Cup.

From this perspective, participating in this competition is definitely worthwhile.

As for what kind of results they can get, Xia Shu doesn't care.

After all, the ultimate goal is to fight on the battlefield. No matter how good the performance on the field is, can it really increase combat effectiveness?

849. An Encounter with Miss Anna

A week passed quickly, and during this period, the participants in the war zone competition arrived one after another.

As the Lunar New Year draws to a close and the competition is about to begin, the director of the opening ceremony in the Flower District has gathered the athletes from each zone and gone through the process again and again.

Fortunately, Xia Shu did not participate in the competition this time, nor did she win any prizes. So she just had to sit on the stage and watch the show.

But she wasn't as idle as one might imagine.

Because the live broadcast of the event took place during this period, she was invited to participate in several pre-match programs.

Xia Shu had no experience in this kind of live broadcast. She couldn't keep up with many of the jokes thrown by the two hosts, which always made the situation very awkward.

However, the audience seemed to like this "amateur" live broadcast style very much, and the response was very enthusiastic.

So the program director asked Xia Shu to maintain his own style and not change it.

Xia Shu was very helpless about this, and always felt that participating in a program was more tiring than playing in a competition.

She had originally chosen not to sign up for the sniper competition out of laziness, but now it seemed like that was a huge mistake.

It seems that she should have chosen to sign up for the competition from the beginning.

But now that the list has been submitted, it's too late.

Xia Shu had no choice but to be forced to work in front of the camera.

On the day of the opening ceremony, Xia Shu insisted that he did not want to go to the live broadcast and just wanted to sit comfortably in the stadium to watch the opening ceremony.

Seeing this, he pretended to be asleep but didn't force it.

So Xia Shu and his teammates sat in the best viewing area and watched the opening ceremony.

By the way, four warrant officers who were attending the Lieutenant Officer Academy course also attended the opening ceremony.

As soon as Ning arrived at the competition venue, he came to find Xia Shu and reported to her.

Xia Shu was a little surprised that the Lieutenant Officers' Academy had such a benefit. After asking, he found out that this benefit was specially given to outstanding colleges.

"There are ten places in the Lieutenant Officer Academy, and four of us have got them all. It's in the area at the back." Ning raised his hand and pointed to an area at the back. It seemed that the area was the viewing area belonging to the Military Academy.

Xia Shu took a look and then said to her, "Then you can bring a small stool and come here to watch the game. The view here is good."

Then she asked, "But was it easy to get a spot to watch the game? How did you get it so easily?"

Ning's face lit up when he heard that, and then he said, "Xia Shu, you don't know, those new lieutenants in the academy are so incompetent. After all, we are special forces who have gone through Hell Week training. Compared to them, we are in a world of difference!"

"A special forces soldier who almost had to repeat a grade." Xia Shu added.

Speaking of this, Ning's expression became a little unhappy.

She had clearly been able to double major, taking both the Lieutenant Officer and Special Warfare courses simultaneously. However, three of her teammates had nearly failed to graduate, and she was consequently implicated, losing her eligibility to double major.

This way, she would have no chance of starting in the special forces unit.

After returning, they will have to take additional special warfare courses for several months before they are qualified to join the combat team.

"So now the vacancies for the special forces team have been filled?" Ning asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Yes, it's full. There are five teams in total." Xia Shu replied.

Originally, there was still room for Ning in the roster of these five teams, but now, she would have to wait at least half a year before a new team was formed.

One step slow, every step slow. The special operations team has already established combat capabilities. By the time Ning joins the next combat team in six months, the previous teams will probably have already achieved countless military merits.

Seeing Ning's expression was somewhat dull, Xia Shu patted her shoulder and said, "There are plenty of opportunities, don't be discouraged."

Ning nodded, smiled, and said nothing more.

Afterwards, four new officers who were about to graduate from the military academy brought small stools and sat together with other members of the special forces.

During a later chat, Xia Shu heard Ning say that when they were in the Lieutenant Officer Academy, the four unlucky kids seemed to be doing very well in the academy.

They also gathered a large group of students who were interested in special forces.

Although this group of officers are only newly promoted, they are of little significance to the special forces.

But as time goes by, new recruits will become veterans one day.

Perhaps after a few years, these newly graduated lieutenants would have grown into commanders of small units, and the new recruits they brought in would also be inspired by them to join the special forces.

Then Xia Shu didn't send them to the military academy in vain.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu also felt that he should arrange more people to take the officer promotion examination.

After the opening ceremony performance was over, the team members reported to the officers in charge of the event.

Subsequent competitions will proceed according to the schedule. Team competitions require the presence of coaches, while individual competitions do not.

As for the officers in charge, they just need to ensure smooth communication and there is no need to keep an eye on them.

So Xia Shu decided to take some time to visit the lunar orbit base, which he had not visited much last time, to satisfy his curiosity.

It seemed like every contestant on the team had something to do, but the audience, on the contrary, was extremely idle.

Miss Kite was assigned the position of coach by Xia Shu, so she had no time to take care of Bai Nanhua.

Seeing this, Xia Shu took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of the little girl.

Bainanhua particularly likes Xia Shu, so naturally she wants to be with her all the time.

So when Xia Shu was touring the base, she took the little kid by the hand and became a caring big sister taking care of the child.

The entire lunar orbital base is so large that it can be considered a small city in the sky. Only a small part of it is used as a competition venue, while the rest is used as a training ground and leisure area.

The training ground is only open to athletes, but the leisure area is open to everyone and everyone can go and have fun.

So when the audience has nothing to do, they will run around and take a look, and take a few selfies at the check-in attractions.

Xia Shu took Bai Nanhua to the top of the observation deck for a walk. Seeing that there were people everywhere, it was really boring.

He turned around and went back to the training ground, sold two ice creams, and ate them happily one by one.

Two people, one big and one small, were walking along the road. Xia Shu was just asking Bai Nanhua if she had finished her homework and whether she was enjoying her school life, among other disappointing questions, when he suddenly heard a voice calling from behind.

Xia Shu turned around and found that it was an old acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time, Anna.

Anna had a complicated expression when she saw Xia Shu. She asked, "You, aren't you going to participate in the competition?"

She looked like a young wife who was abandoned after getting engaged.

Seeing this, Xia Shu looked around, then pointed to a snack stand not far away and said:

"Why don't we go over there, sit down and talk slowly."

850. Can I join your army?

After Xia Shu brought Bai Nanhua and Anna to the snack bar, he let Bai Nanhua sit there and asked Anna to look after her.

Then he went to the store and took out three cups of milk tea, a box of octopus balls and a box of chocolate cookies.

Bai Nanhua and Anna stared at each other without saying a word.

It wasn't until Xia Shu came over that they all looked at Xia Shu.

After Xia Shu sat down, he opened the snack box and said to Anna, "It's been a long time since the last mission. Have you recovered?"

Anna nodded, indicating that she had recovered. She then continued to ask Xia Shu, "You, aren't participating in the competition?"

Xia Shu smiled and nodded, and replied, "I won't participate. I'll leave the opportunity to you."

Anna frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't seem to understand Xia Shu's idea. So she stared at her again.

"There's no point in glaring at me." Xia Shu picked up an octopus ball with a bamboo skewer and blew it cool before putting it in his mouth. Then he mumbled, "Competitions are so tiring. Now that I finally have some free time, I won't compete with you for the championship."

Anna lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly and said to Xia Shu, "You have to get busy with the special forces."

"Yes, that's right." Xia Shu took a sip of milk tea and glanced sideways to see Bai Nanhua eating a biscuit with a bunch of crumbs spilled in front of her. He took out a tissue and wiped her face clean, then placed a napkin in front of her. Then he turned back to Anna and asked, "I heard you guys are also forming a special forces unit over there? How's it going? Do you need any help?"

Anna shook her head, as if to say that she didn't need help.

Xia Shu added, "If you need anything, feel free to tell me. After all, we are allies now."

Hearing this, Anna said, "Can I go to your unit?"

"You...ah?" Xia Shu was stunned when he heard the voice and looked up at Anna.

Anna's face was serious, and she didn't look like she was joking.

However, Xia Shu didn't seem to have seen this three-no girl make jokes.

But what did she mean? Was she planning to change jobs?

Seeing that Xia Shu didn't respond, Anna continued, "I want to... experience that Hell Week."

After hearing this, Xia Shu finally felt relieved.

So don’t breathe heavily when talking, it’s bad for your heart.

Xia Shu had thought Anna was having trouble in the snowy area and wanted to switch to a more charismatic leader. But after all this fuss, it turned out she was actually interested in their special forces training.

Xia Shu guessed that the special forces team in the snowy area must have encountered some difficulties in their establishment, so Anna thought about going to Xia Shu's place to experience and learn from them.

This way of communication is really tiring and relies on guessing.

Xia Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw Anna's expectant face, so he replied, "Sure, you're welcome anytime."

Anna showed a satisfied expression when she saw this, and took a sip of the milk tea.

Afterwards, the two agreed on a time for Anna to come to the special forces for training next year. Then they each got up and went back to their own dormitories.

After returning to the dormitory, Xia Shu saw that the contestants had also finished today's training, so he found the kite coach and returned the Bainanhua to her.

Back in the dormitory, Chunxiang was taking a shower again.

Xia Shu called out to remind her, then sat down at the table and read the messages in the background.
