Chapter 108: The Heart of the Strong! (4300 words long chapter) After a while, at the sniper shooting training ground, all six members of the rookie team had finished shooting, checked their guns, disassembled them, put them back into the gun boxes, and gathered together. The sniper instructor Li Dao announced their results. In fact, everyone knew his own results, but what really made them curious was the results of their comrades, to be precise, Su Chen's results! Li Dao walked up to them, and looked around at the rookies with a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon. "Just now, the six of you fired a total of 90 rounds of bullets, which is 4,500 yuan if converted into training funds! In less than half an hour, you have used up almost a month's salary of an ordinary non-commissioned officer. So how do you perform? Hao Dahai, step out!——" Hao Dahai, who was called, was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the queue, a little afraid to look up at the instructor. "15 bullets, the best result is 900 meters! You fired three shots at the 600-meter target alone. I have never seen such a bad result! You set the lowest record for the sniper training of my Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade. Come on, please express your gratitude!" Li Dao looked at Hao Dahai with gritted teeth and said dimly. Hao Dahai, who was called by the instructor, felt ashamed. He even felt that his comrades were looking at him, which made him even more ashamed. He pursed his lips and said weakly, "Report!" Li Dao looked at him and said, "Speak!" "I... This is my first time using a sniper rifle. I've never shot a target this far away before..." "Don't give me excuses!" Li Dao interrupted directly, "Not having ever fired a sniper rifle is not an excuse. Many of you have never fired a sniper rifle. This is not an excuse for setting a rubbish record! I just want to know, what are you going to do?!" Hao Dahai was stunned for a moment, then said: "Report to the instructor, I will definitely train hard in the future, correct my attitude, improve myself as quickly as possible, and avenge my previous shame!" "Okay, remember what you said today!" After Li Dao finished speaking, he looked around at the rookies and said in a deep voice: "Remember this, in the special forces, one is one and two is two! This is a place full of strong people, and being strong does not depend on your strength, but on your heart! A strong heart will never make any excuses for itself! A rookie is a rookie, and not being able to do it is not being able to do it! Just because you can't do it today doesn't mean you can't do it in the future! So, at any time, never make excuses for me!

"Bullets are expensive, 50 yuan a round, but the special forces' annual training budget can still afford to make them for you! Like every instructor, I want to see that you are getting stronger and becoming an excellent soldier! Instead of being a coward who makes excuses for yourself when you fail, understand?!" The rookies didn't expect the instructor to say something like this, and they shouted in unison: "Understood!" The instructor's words touched them deeply, especially Su Chen, who agreed with Li Dao's words that a strong man never makes excuses to defend himself. Indeed, excuses are due to lack of self-confidence. A truly confident man, when encountering any obstacles or problems, never thinks that it is difficult to solve, but firmly holds on to one belief: I'm going to overcome it! I want to conquer it! I must defeat it! A few years later, when the rookie team becomes experienced players, this sentence will become one of the mottos of each of them. ......... After Li Dao had instilled a strong heart into the rookies, he asked Hao Dahai to return to the team and then introduced the results of the rookie teams one by one. How should I put it? Except for Su Chen, the results of the others were pretty much the same. They were neither good nor bad, just average, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. What surprised the rookie team was that after Li Dao introduced the results of the five of them, he paused when it was Su Chen's turn. Li Dao turned his head and looked at Gao Yi, who nodded slightly, indicating that he could speak. So Li Dao said: "Su Chen, step out!——" "Yes!" Su Chen stepped out. Under the strange gazes of the rookies, Li Dao slowly spoke, "Aren't you very curious about Su Chen's results? Now, let me announce it! Rookie Su Chen, 15 bullets, two misses, two shots missed the target's head, 11 shots were excellent, and the best score is..." Having said that, Li Dao paused for a moment. The rookies suddenly became excited and couldn't help but look at Su Chen. But Li Dao's next words were like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in everyone's mind! "1500 meters! Hit with one shot!!!" boom! ! ! As soon as the words fell, there was no doubt that it was earth-shattering. The five members of the rookie team all widened their eyes, stared in amazement, swallowed their throats, and had the same expression on their faces, full of shock and disbelief, so much so that they all felt a little terrified! Take less? ! You said Su Chen beat up Duo Shao??? One thousand five hundred meters, one shot hit? ! They have all shot high-precision sniper rifles themselves and know exactly what this result means. That's 1500 meters. Under the influence of wind speed and gravity, the fall and deviation of the bullet are completely out of their control. For a moment, they stared at Su Chen intently, with the same thoughts in their minds: Are you still a fucking human?! Why don't you just follow the wind and soar up to the sky? ………… Seeing the jaw-dropping expressions of the rookies, the instructors were not surprised at all. When they first learned about Su Chen's result, weren't they also looking like this?

"How about it, is it hard to believe?" Li Dao smiled, "I can't believe it either! But Su Chen, he actually did it! To be honest, even as a sniper instructor, I can't do what Su Chen has achieved! "Among all the active officers and soldiers in the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade, no one can do this! You should feel honored to have such a tough guy among your comrades. I hope that when you have nothing to do, you can harass your comrade and captain and ask him to share his experience with you. "Especially Hao Dahai. As the old saying goes, if you meet a master, how can you miss him? If you can learn three points of your captain's skills, it will not be difficult to achieve the boast you just made! Of course, I also hope that Comrade Su Chen will not be stingy with his skills and share them with his comrades! My old squad leader once said: One person is not strong, no matter how strong he is, he is still a sheep. Only when the whole team is strong can it be strong, and when they are united, they are a pack of wolves!" Your old squad leader is not the old black squad leader, is he? Su Chen, who traveled through time, couldn't help but think of the old black squad leader in "Special 2" and couldn't help but complain in his heart. But he immediately shouted: "Yes! - Please rest assured, instructor, I will definitely not be stingy with what I know and share it with my comrades!" "Very good!" Li Dao smiled with satisfaction. ......... After finishing the training, I returned to the dormitory. Hao Dahai, who held the rank of corporal, rummaged through boxes and took out a pair of pilot sunglasses given by his elder brother. He had treasured these sunglasses for a long time and was reluctant to wear them. He walked to Su Chen with a painful look on his face, "Chen'er." Su Chen stared at the sunglasses he had been eyeing for a long time, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you bribing me?" Hao Dahai was a big man from Qilu. He was tall, meters, and very strong. At this moment, he scratched his head, and smiled innocently on his dark and bright face, saying, "Chen'er, can you teach me how to shoot a sniper?" "Is this the tuition you pay me?" Su Chen pointed at the pilot sunglasses and said half-jokingly. Hao Dahai said, "Yeah! Is it okay?" "No!" Su Chen imitated his accent and shook his head. Seeing Hao Dahai's hum, he said seriously, "You usually treasure this thing so much that you are reluctant to lend it to you. Can I take it? Who do you think I am? We are comrades-in-arms. You are taking this a bit too far!" "Ah?" Hao Dahai looked confused. Su Chen smirked, "If you want to bribe me, bring something real. Don't think I don't know that you have hidden half a box of 3-digit soft Zhonghua cigarettes! - Oh, I haven't released it since dinner, Dahai, let's go to the toilet together?!" Cigarettes are even important strategic materials during wartime. When foreign troops airdrop supplies, they will even distribute two cigarettes to the soldiers to satisfy their cravings. The Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade does not have a clear ban on cigarettes. In daily life, it is common to secretly smoke a few cigarettes. Even Gao Yi is a veteran smoker. However, there is one thing that is strictly prohibited in the Special Operations Brigade, that is, during operations and when performing specific tasks. In daily life, people occasionally take a puff, and most of them turn a blind eye to it, just like regular troops. Su Chen's smoking habit is not a big one, especially after joining the army. He never touches the cigarette except when he is extremely tired or feels stressed. This can be seen from the fact that he has not bought a pack of cigarettes since he joined the army. Anyway, Su Chen’s principle towards this thing is: never buy it. If you want to draw one, ask your comrades for it. If they don’t give it to you, then snatch it away! ………… Just like that, Su Chen and Hao Dahai went to the toilet arm in arm, and before leaving, they also brought Major Shen Hang with them. Yan Ziqiang looked at the three men arm in arm and couldn't help but tease Hao Dahai, "Dahai! After you bribe Chen'er, don't forget to ask him to come back and share his sniping experience with the brothers! We are poor, so we won't bribe him! Haha!" Ge Tong and Jiang Cheng also laughed and echoed. After arriving at the restroom, Su Chen took the soft Zhonghua cigarette with a three-character prefix handed to him by Hao Dahai and put it in his mouth. Hao Dahai diligently lit it for him. He leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and felt the smoke swirling in his lungs. Su Chen made a sound inappropriate for children with enjoyment, then rested his head on the wall, looking at the ceiling, feeling extremely ecstatic. Shen Hang also held a cigarette in his mouth and sighed: "Chen'er, you know what, this three-character Zhonghua is better than my Baisha!" Su Chen glanced at him and said, "Damn, what are you talking about! This box of Zhonghua is enough to buy you a bag of Baisha! I said you are a major after all, your monthly allowance should be at least 120,000 or 130,000, right? Why are you so stingy! I don't smoke much, but you are still reluctant to buy a good one. You can save that money to have children!" Shen Hang said unhappily, "Fuck you, you're still licking my face and talking nonsense? I can at least buy some secretly, have you ever bought anything?! Now there are Huazi, and you despise them. When Dahai didn't take out Huazi, didn't you suck my white sand vigorously?!" "I'm not as addicted as you two! Except when I'm under a lot of pressure or tired, have you ever seen me smoke?" Su Chen argued. "Okay, okay, you are right, I won't argue with you." Shen Hang rolled his eyes at Su Chen, "But then again, have you been under a lot of pressure or are you tired recently?"

Su Chen smiled, "A little bit of both! It's not a big problem, it might just be my uncle coming these two days." After hearing what Su Chen said, Shen Hang and Hao Dahai knew that Su Chen didn't want to say it, so they didn't ask any more questions. They just laughed and joked along with Su Chen's words. Su Chen scolded them with a smile, then lowered his head and held the cigarette butt in his hand. As the smoke dissipated, his thoughts seemed to drift away as well. Captain Gao had been teaching him combat command during this period, and he was not ignorant of the meaning of some of the words he said. In fact, Su Chen regretted some of the wrong choices he made when he was young and ignorant. Maybe if he had studied hard and avoided trouble at that time, he wouldn't have suffered such a loss in education now? It would also make his mother worry less. But Su Chen also knew that there was only cause and effect in this world, no ifs. Think about it from another perspective. If he had been so sensible and gone to school hard when he was young and had not gone to Fengtian alone to attend a military school, he might not have had the experience of joining the army. All I can say is that every step in life is destined. Every choice corresponds to a different result. Good and bad are interdependent. There is no need to regret some of your past choices. As a saying goes on the Internet, if you made the wrong choice, it is wrong. Don't bully your past self, because you were standing in the fog and were also confused at that time. Every choice you made was the most correct choice you thought based on the situation at that time. Su Chen also thought it through. If I gain it, it's my luck, if I lose it, it's my life. It's not like he has no ways to improve himself in the military camp. The only difference is that he may have to take a few more steps than others in the future! Whatever the hell, just do it! "Da da da...!" Just as Su Chen's thoughts were drifting, a sudden sound of footsteps came. The three brothers were so scared that they hurriedly threw their cigarette butts on the ground, stepped on them with their shoes, and waved their hands to drive away the smoke. However, it was obviously too late. Deputy Chief Instructor Lin Yudong walked in and smelled the cigarette smoke. "You three are pretty cool, aren't you?!" "Instructor... Instructor..." The three brothers were embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Lin Yudong. Lin Yudong glared at them and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take out the cigarettes!" Su Chen glanced at Shen Hang. Shen Hang glanced at Hao Dahai. Hao Dahai looked at the two brothers, and finally took out the half box of 3-font soft Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket with great pain, and handed it to Lin Yudong reluctantly. Lin Yudong took the cigarette and looked at it, then said sarcastically, "Haha, it's quite classy! Who told you to smoke? Huh?! Get out of here, everyone do 500 push-ups on the playground!" The three of them turned green in the face when they heard this. But I didn't dare say anything. Compared to being blackout from smoking or soaking cigarette butts in water, 500 push-ups was already a great favor. I immediately ran to the playground to do push-ups. Looking at the shadows of the three people doing push-ups, Lin Yudong snorted and muttered to himself, "Three little bastards, I can't bear to smoke Zhonghua!" As he said this, he glanced around and lit a cigarette for himself. How could you say you took the cigarettes? You confiscated them! ... 4300 words long chapter, I think it is more coherent after writing it this way. Dear brothers, even an excellent comrade like our Su Chen will have troubles and feel anxious about some choices in the past. Ke Sanchi hopes that everyone will not be anxious and actively deal with every day of life. I wish all brothers everything goes well~  (End of this chapter)
