Chapter 2024: The Heaviness Of The Backstory
He straightened his clothes and gestured three fingers to Ye Jian, “It is mandatory to get 3 kilos heavier. They only had 20 dumplings on the 30th night, but I ate 30 dumplings. No way, my weight was not up to the standard, and J5 was glaring at me.”
The management of the special forces of the Elite Platoon was very strict. In their harsh continuous physical training, tactical training, weapons, and blasting techniques, etc., as a special force soldier, one couldn’t lose the standard weight. Whoever lost weight meant that they didn’t eat enough normally, and they had no choice but to eat more and get their weight up to the standard weight.
Of course, you shouldn’t get too far either, because being overweight was more serious than being thin!
If you could still get fat in such harsh training, good fellow, you must be lazy; you had to work harder.
Ye Jian, who got into the car, heard this kind of rule for the first time, and she was obviously surprised. She looked at Weaver, who was driving, then turned around and looked at Roadrunner and Pigeon, who were sitting behind. After a while, she suddenly realized, “No wonder I noticed that y’all height and weight are about the same; it’s because of such a rule.”
“Do you know how this rule came about?” Pigeon leaned slightly and explained to Ye Jian this Elite Platoon rule that was also included in the team rules, “In the early days of the Elite Platoon, it was mandatory to form a standard combat team of six to perform tasks. Before he died, the team in charge of the reconnaissance told his captain that if he could not bring his body back to the motherland, please take the military uniform on him back to the motherland.”
This rule was obviously just meant to be a joke, but it suddenly became serious. Ye Jian pursed the small smile on her face, quietly listening to the awe-inspiring past.
“At that time, there was no way to bring the sacrificed comrade back to the country. Therefore, our senior took off his military uniform with tears in his eyes and put it on himself. The sacrificed scout watched his captain put on his military uniform; he said before closing his eyes, “I’m a little too skinny; the uniform looks so small on you.”
“After the mission is completed, the captain who came back in the uniform of his comrade put forward a suggestion to the military department, requiring that all special forces joining the Elite Platoon in the future must have roughly the same height, so as to ensure all of them are of the same weight as much as possible, and the weight difference from the standard should not exceed four kilograms.”
“Because he was afraid that we won’t be able to wear our sacrificed comrades uniform.”
Behind the seemingly unwritten rules, there was actually such a sad story that made people want to cry.
As a special force, the Elite Platoon would perform many tasks that couldn’t be made public; they could only be carried out in secret.
Just like Ye Jian’s mission this time, it was a mission that could not be made public; she must do it secretly.
If anyone had sacrificed, perhaps they could only bring back the sacrificed comrade’s military uniform.
There were still many tragic and heroic stories in the Elite Platoon that were still unknown. Pigeon only told one of them, and it had already shocked Ye Jian.
“This mission is also a secret mission. We are only given one week to rescue the engineering team. If we didn’t succeed within a week, or if we were discovered by the enemy that we were not from the engineering team, Blue Bird, it would be pointless for us to rescue them even if we have arrived at the destination…”
Pigeon spoke softly, then asked Ye Jian, “Blue Bird, do you know why we wouldn’t need to rescue them anymore?”
“Because… they would suicide.” Ye Jian clenched her fists and said softly because they were all soldiers, soldiers who could sacrifice for the country at any time.
A very sharp light burst out from her black eyes. She looked at Pigeon and said, “Although we are given a week to rescue them, if we could complete them earlier, we should do our best to complete the rescue earlier!”
