Chapter 86: Fresh Recruits

As a longtime veteran, Elder Nie had a deep understanding of the Leader. This moment, seeing the Leader’s solemn expression, he didn’t inquire about the reason. Nor did he bring up the results of the conversation between the Leader and Comrade Xuri. He simply nodded and straightforwardly said, “I will abide by the Leader’s decision. This kid has been somewhat unruly of late. I think he should be sent over to Guodong’s lot. Let him temper himself in the Great Xibei.”

Those present were all old revolutionaries whose political awareness and sensitivity weren’t derived from empty talk. Seeing the Leader’s expression, they sensed that the conversation probably hadn’t been pleasant. For Elder Nie to be so decisive in such circumstances, everyone present admired him.

Listening to Elder Nie’s words, the Leader regarded his old comrade with respect and nodded, agreeing, “Going to Xibei isn’t a bad idea. I think Zhenbang has unlimited potential. I mean that it’s best to put him in the most challenging military unit. Let’s see how he performs.”

Upon hearing the Leader’s words, everyone there, including Elder Yang, grew serious. This was a big deal. Ordinary people would never attract such attention from the Leader. His words could be seen as a test for Nie Zhenbang. If he could pass the test and perform commendably, Nie Zhenbang’s future would be limitless. Whether he turns out to be a dragon or a worm, depends entirely on Nie Zhenbang’s performance.

At this moment, Elder Nie suppressed his excitement. On the surface, he simply nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll do as the Leader suggests.”

The 29th Army

Within the guesthouse at the military headquarters

At this moment, since Nie Zhenbang was brought back here by these soldiers, he was arranged in the guestroom of the guesthouse, without any service personnel or anyone else coming over.

Opening the door, two soldiers stood guard on either side. Seeing Nie

Zhenbang open the door, both of them turned simultaneously, both watching Nie Zhenbang. Now, if Nie Zhenbang dared to go out, these people would probably tie him up immediately.

“Brothers, is your leader here? Saving me only to keep me captive doesn’t seem like a solution,” Nie Zhenbang said with a laugh.

However, his greeting was met with the expressionless faces of the two soldiers, neither of them replied.

After hours of waiting, at the faint light of dawn, several Red Flag cars slowly entered the guesthouse compound. Through the window, the old man was seen getting off with a stern expression.

A moment later, the door was opened from the outside, the old man walked in. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, the first thing the old man said was, “Not bad, a descendant of Nie family, brave and unyielding. You understand when to advance and when to retreat. However, this time, you won’t be able to stay in Jingcheng.”

These opening words brought Nie Zhenbang some joy. In his memory, whether it was his past life or now, the number of times the old man had praised the third generation of the Nie family could be counted on one hand. Even Nie Jialei, as the third successor of the Nie family, was only praised once.

However, the latter words caught Nie Zhenbang off guard and confirmed his guess. Even the old man and the Leader want to avoid conflict. The shadowy figure behind this attack on him is apparent. Only that person can make the Leader compromise.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the Leader and the old man are afraid of that person. At their level, there’s a lot to consider. If it were a provincial or municipal official, it would be fine to have a fight to the finish. But, at this level, any tug could affect the whole country.

Caught off guard for a moment, Nie Zhenbang quickly nodded and replied, “Understood, I have no objections.”

Seeing Nie Zhenbang’s nonchalant demeanor, the old man looked approving. This grandson’s behavior surprised Elder Nie, and he felt curious about his son-in-law whom he had not yet met. How could a civilian cultivate such an outstanding person? Of course, Elder Nie didn’t know that Nie Zhenbang’s current behavior was a result of his rebirth.

Then, the old man also nodded and said, “It’s best that you have understood.

This time, I plan to send you to Tianshan Province, the Xibei Military Region. The Nie family has a military background. As a member of the Nie family, you should go to the great melting pot of the armed forces and get some good grinding. ”

As he spoke, the old man’s face became serious as he looked at Nie Zhenbang, “Zhenbang, Li Kang from the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms once said in his ‘Fate Discourse’: ‘The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; the water piled up by the shore will be whipped into frenzy; if one raises himself higher than others, the mass will be envious’. The mirror of history is nearby, the overturned chariot is followed by new tracks.”

Pausing for a moment, the old man said earnestly, “Zhenbang, the unwarranted trouble you encountered this time is probably related to your flamboyant behavior in Jingcheng over the past year and more. I hope that this time in the army, you will engage in some serious self-examination. Also, regarding your identity, I have taken care of it for you. You are Nie Zhenbang from Yanbei, a common foot soldier who is a university student. Do you understand my meaning? After three years of compulsory military service, I hope to see a more mature Nie Zhenbang. I hope to see a Nie Zhenbang who can support the entire family. Do you understand?”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang’s heart was pounding. What was the old man’s intention? Was he expressing a certain attitude? Was he planning to train Nie Zhenbang as a key member of the Nie family? He brushed off these alluring ideas and calmed down. No matter what, he had to make a name for himself. The old man’s intentions were clear. This time, he would just be an ordinary person. No privileges. No advantage. Immediately, Nie Zhenbang nodded,

“Grandpa, I understand. Please rest assured, I won’t disappoint you or Grandpa

Nan Xun.”

The current situation kept the old man busy. With Comrade Xuri’s action, the whole country’s atmosphere became somewhat tense. On the surface, the struggle between the reformists and conservatives seemed to have cooled down. But this is merely a superficial tranquility portrayed by the national media. In the local areas, the struggle was becoming increasingly intense. This was the calm before the final battle.

Nie Zhenbang took a military vehicle from the 29th Army in the morning. Protected by a group of soldiers, Nie Zhenbang flew directly from the military airport in the southern suburbs of Jingcheng to Ganzhou City, the location of the Xibei Military Region.

At this moment, the tarmac of Northwest Military Region Ganzhou Military Airport was filled with new recruits from all over the country.

Nie Zhenbang was also among the crowd. Compared to the others, who all carried a big bag, Nie Zhenbang, who came empty-handed, seemed eccentric despite also wearing a military uniform.

At this moment, an open-top military jeep drove towards them. The leader of the team immediately shouted, “Gather!”

“Stand at attention!”

On the jeep, a soldier in his late twenties sat in the passenger seat, face full of pride, his gaze sweeping over each new recruit. He then said, “Welcome to the Great Xibei, you rookie soldiers..”
