He looked for her car first. After locating the car, he found Ye Jian, who was resting by the tree.
Before he even spoke, Ye Jian's head moved and her cap slipped off her face. Commissar Yan saw those bright, clear eyes looking at him and laughed. He waved his hand and gestured her to the side to speak.
Ye Jian also chuckled. She stood up and patted the leaves off her body and followed Commissar Yan to a place where they would not disturb the rest. "You're not resting? The training is only halfway done."
This girl, she asked him the question that he wanted to ask her.
"You're not resting either?" Commissar Yan was always easy-going around her and would never put on an imposing face. He would always be kind and warm. "Jian, how does it feel? Is it much more interesting than the training grounds?"
Ye Jian heard that and smiled, pursing her lips. "You're treating me like a kid. Actual combat simulation is also a war. It's not 'interesting'. It left an impression." Her smile gradually faded away and her voice became cold. "The deepest feeling I felt was that I saw blood, death, and life in war.
I took a long time trying to get back to my senses. It felt like I was in a war, and the actual combat simulation just now was just a fuse…"
"Commissar, it was not interesting. I just felt that there's so much room for me to improve, to become a true soldier."
It was rare for a senior high school student to have a sense of danger and mission. It was even more so to understand that war and blood were inseparable from an actual combat simulation.
Her peers were still struggling with textbooks and studying for the sake of entering universities. And here she was, already steps ahead of them and thinking deeper and farther.
He had originally wanted to talk to her and let her understand the significance of actual combat simulation. It looked like it was not necessary anymore. Training a military unit was also training a soldier's mind and body at the same time.
After returning to the car, Commissar Yan contacted Commander Liu and affirmed, "Ye Jian will be a bright star in the army in the future. Her presence will not only illuminate the other soldiers but also inspire and push them forward."
"Old Liu, this girl has a high level of consciousness, and her comprehension is incomparable… From her tone just now, she has the intention to go to the frontline units. She will definitely be someone capable in the future. Every time I look at her progress, I can't bear to let her return to school."
A female soldier would only suffer more when she trains and competes with the other male soldiers in the unit. But Ye Jian was extremely talented and tough like the male soldiers, and her progress was out of their reach.
Facing his old partner's exclamation, Commander Liu laughed heartily and responded, "How else would she be trained by a world-class sniper and a Class A Master Sergeant? Don't worry too much about it. That girl puts everyone at ease. Twenty soldiers would not be as good as her!"
"Horses can't run a thousand miles in the stables. You need to get her out in the field for training! I will report this to the higher-ups when I get back from the winter vacation. If they are agreeable, I will let her enter the military unit to participate in the winter training. It doesn't matter which unit she goes to after this. Hahaha, she will be a recruit that came from me!"
Commissar Yan felt that his partner was being shameless and chuckled, "Old Chen has arrangements. We can forget about it. We will have to wait for his arrangements to be over before Jian can come to us."
