At this moment, Wang Ye was also observing their expressions.

His own photo hung here, and Wang Ye had only seen it a few days ago during his training in the new recruit platoon.

Of course, when the new recruit platoon ended at the beginning of the year, Wang Ye already knew about this.

At that time, the regiment’s reporters had even told him they wanted to take some good-looking photos to hang here.

“Why is everyone stopping? If you want to see, come on in.” At this moment, Jiang Huai, who had entered the room ahead of everyone else, shouted towards the entrance.

This was because some of the new recruits in front had seen Wang Ye’s photo inside, and some of them were so surprised that they stopped in their tracks, blocking the entrance, causing a few more new recruits behind them not to enter.

Yes, it wasn’t just the new recruits from Class Five who were shocked.

Every new recruit in the entire platoon now knew Wang Ye.

Furthermore, Wang Ye was standing inside the audio-visual classroom at this very moment.

With a live person standing by the side, his photo on the wall, along with those introductions, every new recruit in the platoon couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, “Wow.”

“Let me tell you, learn from Platoon Leader Wang as much as you can. Being able to personally see the Honor Wall in the new recruit platoon is your honor!” In front of the podium, Jiang Huai shouted loudly once again.

At the same time, next to Wang Ye, Zhou Qi approached with a smile.

“The photo looks handsome!” He whispered.

It was also his first time seeing Wang Ye’s photo hanging here.

“Hehe, thanks, squad leader!”

Although Wang Ye knew he was handsome, whether it was the photo on the wall or his current self, being praised by Zhou Qi still made him very happy.

“Class Leaders Ye must be regretting not being here today!” Zhou Qi spoke softly with a smile again.

In fact, he was feeling a bit regretful himself.

He regretted that Wang Ye wasn’t in his own new recruit platoon.

If Wang Ye had been in his new recruit platoon, he would have had another topic to brag about and could have boasted to the new recruits in his squad.

He could have said, “Look, even Captain Wang in the photo saw it. Last year’s new recruit platoon was under my command.”

Unfortunately, he didn’t have that opportunity.

That line could only be delivered by Ye Sanshi.

It’s just a pity that Ye Sanshi didn’t have the chance to come and act all impressive with the new recruit platoon this year.

“Hehe!” At this moment, a smile curved on Wang Ye’s lips.

He was thinking that if Ye Sanshi were here right now, he might not be able to resist tiptoeing a bit, and perhaps he would even clear his throat to remind everyone of his presence.

“Let me tell you, last year, 1 was the first one on stage. Is that something to be ashamed of?” After the news commentary was over, Wang Ye returned to his squad and immediately wore a stern expression.

Because today, someone volunteered to go on stage for the news commentary, but it wasn’t someone from his own squad.

Staring at them, Wang Ye shouted angrily, “Let me tell you, under my command, you must strive to be the best in everything. Your squad leader, not just in this new recruit platoon but in our regiment, even our division, I dare to shout it out loud wherever I go, ‘I am the best.’ But what about you? As soldiers under my command, I won’t tolerate any slackers.”

Wang Ye’s words once again left the members of Class Five in shock.

He was too audacious.

But as they thought about the photo on the wall in the audio-visual classroom, as they realized that he had only been in the military for a year longer than them, as they remembered the medals he had worn yesterday and his current rank as a lieutenant…

They didn’t dare to utter a word, let alone question him.

This guy had already exceeded their wildest imaginations.

“Hmph!” Wang Ye snorted and continued in a cold tone, “This is the last time. From now on, no matter what, you must strive to be the best. No conditions allowed because you are soldiers under my command, understood?”

“Yes!” The members of Class Five immediately stood at attention and responded.

“Are you a bunch of softies? Louder!”

“Yes!” This time, the voices of the members of Class Five were much louder.

“Hmph! Gather downstairs!” After giving them an angry glare, Wang Ye, with an appearance of anger, led them downstairs.

They began with a three-kilometer run.

Naturally, Wang Ye kept them running throughout the entire session.

After returning, they joined the other squads and stood downstairs, starting to loudly critique the dormitory building.

In military training, Wang Ye followed the curriculum but had his own ideas and methods, which also reflected the capabilities of each squad leader.

Of course, Wang Ye’s approach wouldn’t necessarily work for other squad leaders.

Being tough required one to be tough themselves; if you weren’t tough, using Wang Ye’s method might lead to problems.

After all, although they were new recruits, some of them had strong qualities. For example, those who came from sports schools were quite skilled in activities like running three kilometers, and some squad leaders might not necessarily beat them in a race.

But with Wang Ye, there were no such unexpected situations.

Time passed, and the training in the new recruit platoon continued in an orderly manner.

On the nineteenth day, while Wang Ye was busy with training, preparing for the new recruits’ first drill practice, in a neighboring city hospital, Yan Zhiming was sitting on a hospital bed.

He gently stroked the clean service uniform that the platoon leader had just sent over.

A tear fell.

Coincidentally, it landed on the national defense service badge on the uniform.

Yan Zhiming covered the badge with his hand and gently wiped it.

With the warmth of his palm, he rubbed it back and forth, slowly drying the national defense service badge that had been moistened by tears.

His heart ached.

This complete military uniform would be the last one he would ever wear in his lifetime.

Although he could take this uniform home after today, his rank and badges would all be removed.

A set of military uniform, without rank and badges, could no longer be considered complete for a soldier..
