Chapter 1155 Human favors are the hardest to repay since ancient times

bang bang bang...

Da da da......

At a shooting range outside St. Petersburg.

Led by Zhang Wei, a large group of honor guards took turns holding guns and firing at targets in the open space in the distance.

As honor guard soldiers, their daily training consists mainly of drills, and they rarely have the opportunity to engage in live-fire target practice.

Even if they do fire, it's merely a symbolic gesture to appease superiors during inspections.

As soldiers, they hold hard gun barrels every day, but can't fire a single bullet. It's driving these young men crazy with frustration.

Despite this, as the face of the military, they have more opportunities for exposure and may even be inspected by high-ranking leaders.

But during their military careers, they fired very few bullets, which was their biggest regret.

At this moment, all the previous regrets were fulfilled, because the Red Square parade was a complete success, and the domestic leaders also gave these big kids who had been cooped up for too long a chance to relax and have fun outside.

The bear shooting range is a legitimate recreational activity, and many Chinese people come here to experience the joy of shooting.

Especially some of the young girls, who look delicate and frail, are incredibly fierce when they start shooting.

There are even a series of activities that can be played for an extra fee, such as throwing grenades and rocket launchers.

"Da da da, da da da..."

Zhang Wei was firing at his target while excitedly providing his own voiceover.

It was as if lip-syncing could increase the lethality of ammunition, which caused many people around to burst into laughter.

On the bench in the shooting waiting area, Qin Feng watched everyone having a great time, a faint smile on his face.

Seeing Qi Meng and Wu Jin transform into professional instructors, guiding the trainees on shooting aiming postures, was particularly moving.

When people first meet, they are always wary, and even prejudiced.

But as you get to know each other better, and once the prejudice is gone, you can actually become very harmonious.

This was also the content of the conversation Qin Feng had with the two of them yesterday.

The hope is that they can act as psychological counselors and become caring older brothers to the many cadets.

Through this attack, coupled with the meticulous guidance of Qi Meng and Wu Jin, their status in the hearts of these top students is almost no less than that of themselves back in the military academy in Beijing.

Qin Feng also spoke with Wu Jin and learned that Wu Jin planned to pursue postgraduate studies, and expressed his support for his decision.

Wu Jin follows the mechanized infantry command route, and pursuing a master's degree will allow him to learn more solid combat knowledge.

Qi Meng is a special operations commander; the battlefield is his true home.

Interestingly, among the brothers who came out in the same batch, Li Jiasheng actually walked ahead of Qi Meng.

Qin Feng recalled the scene of the battle in the theater. He figured Li Jiasheng was probably too cocky and had been holding back his laughter the whole time.

"What are you thinking about? Your smile is practically overflowing!"

At this moment, Hou Haifeng came over with a bottle of soda and sat down on the bench.

Qin Feng said casually, "It's been too long since I've come out to relax. I feel quite comfortable and good."

Hou Haifeng spoke with concern, like an elder: "I understand young people striving for their careers, but they also need to take better care of their health. I heard your unit is on full alert, with mobilizations happening anytime, anywhere?"

Qin Feng was slightly surprised, not expecting the other party to know even about this matter.

The theater command is adjusting towards more realistic combat training, and the vast majority of military units have now been converted to full-time standby units.

This is the so-called "ready for battle at any moment" mode, where one can grab a gun and fight as soon as the whistle blows.

However, the new model has only been officially promoted for a short time. Did Hou Haifeng specifically ask someone to investigate and understand it?

Qin Feng sipped his soda and said, "I'm used to it. It's not so bad. Isn't it normal for soldiers to be on high alert? Only when we can't sleep soundly can the people sleep soundly."

Hou Haifeng slapped his thigh: "Well said! If everyone had your awareness, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation would be just around the corner!"

"By the way, I heard you graduated from the XX Military Academy in Beijing. Why didn't you consider staying in Beijing after graduation?"

"Many people who graduate from military academy are desperate to stay at the school and stay in Beijing."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "For me, it's the same wherever I am. The important thing is to serve the people."

Hou Haifeng actually found it difficult to continue the conversation because he had already discerned the underlying meaning.

Qin Feng has started using a universal remedy on him now, the kind that allows him to chat, but leaves him speechless after every sentence.

Seeing this, Hou Haifeng didn't hold back and once again used the brainwashing offensive: "Comrade Qin Feng, I can see that you are a very capable soldier. But if you want to be frank, it will be very difficult if you want to be promoted to the next level."

"In your area, it would take at least ten years for you to take that first step."

"But if you come to our Garrison Command and take the route of becoming a commander of the honor guard, I guarantee you will be promoted to major general in three years at most."

The youngest general—what an exciting and tempting offer!

If it were the Qin Feng of the past, perhaps there would have been a tiny bit of attraction or hesitation.

But once the system task was completed, the burden on his shoulders suddenly became much lighter. Whether it was two or three years, or five or ten years, it didn't mean much to him.

There are actually quite a few paths to becoming a general in the military, but the one with the lowest prestige and absolutely no real power is the "literary and artistic general."

Led by the father of a certain domestic pornographic gun tyrant, many of the so-called veteran artists of the PLA Academy of Arts wear the title of "General of the Wheat Ears" (a symbol of military prowess).

But even a three-star military officer with a reputation for artistic talent would have to be extremely respectful and courteous to a deputy commander like Ge Hongbin.

Because powerful military personnel and veteran artists who rose to fame through singing are completely different concepts.

In addition, there is the option of pursuing a military research and development path. If there are any major breakthroughs in military research, one can be promoted quickly and without regard to seniority.

Another type is what Hou Haifeng mentioned: leading an honor guard to participate in various festivals and celebrations, and even participating in the command of the grand military parade in the Forbidden City.

Through various honors and high exposure, one can also achieve rapid promotion in military rank and position, but it is clear that these are not what Qin Feng wants.

Along the way, Qin Feng participated in all sorts of exercises and confrontations, and carried out many dangerous missions. His hands... and even his whole body were stained with the blood of the enemy.

Now, if you ask him to walk the honor guard's command route up those steps, he won't agree.

If you're not going to be a general and command thousands of troops, directing an iron torrent, then you might as well not be one.

This time, Qin Feng didn't politely refuse; instead, he laid his cards on the table: "Commander Hou, if you want me to visit you for tea, no problem. But if you want me to switch jobs and join your Garrison Command as a guard of honor commander, I can only say no."

"My superficial understanding of the word 'soldier' ​​is that it means fighting on the battlefield and spending a lifetime on the front lines, so I can only refuse your kindness."

Hou Haifeng also felt helpless about this. He did not expect that someone would be willing to give up taking shortcuts and instead climb to the top.

"Alright, I won't bring this up again, but you can't refuse what I told you about my niece last time!"

"We should fly back to Beijing Capital International Airport together later, even if it's just to catch up and have a coffee!"

"Let's not..."

"Hey, hey, I'm not forcing you! You can't force feelings! It's just a meeting, a quick look, consider it repaying a favor. As her uncle, I'm just worried about my niece. She has very high standards, and she might not necessarily fall for you at first sight..."

When it comes to repaying favors, Qin Feng really had no choice.

Since ancient times, human favors have been the hardest to repay.

Hou Haifeng strongly supported me in being able to make such a big appearance at the Red Square parade and become a flag bearer.

Oh well, he's participated in all the military-civilian matchmaking events organized by his unit, and he even ended up losing big time. It won't cost him his life to give them face and have a cup of coffee.

When Qin Feng agreed, Hou Haifeng was overjoyed and insisted on taking him to the shooting range so that he could show the honor guard what kind of ability a commander from a combat unit really had.

So, Qin Feng reluctantly showed off his skills, demonstrating what a recoilless handheld Gatling gun looks like...
