What other businesses would there be?
Principal Cao's heart suddenly shuddered. He immediately added, "It'll be better if you just answer whatever the commander asks you and don't seek the limelight. Don't give your own opinions too. Just be moderate and don't be conspicuous."
If he really had other businesses, it wasn't something a student could interfere with.
Commander Xia did come for other businesses. However, he did squeeze time out of his schedule to come to the chemical defense regiment. After the students returned to their classes and bid farewell with their instructors, Commander Guo and the political commissar accompanied Commander Xia around the chemical defense regiment.
The chemical defense regiment was a mysterious military unit. Their uniform and equipment were very professional. It required a high level of expertise and the appearance was exceptionally strange.
After wearing the long mask that looked like the nose of an elephant, you wouldn't be able to differentiate between people.
Xia Jinyuan came to learn the basic expertise training at the chemical defense regiment. He wore the gas mask along with Commander Xia and the specially designed military combat attire before entering the comprehensive training base.
Here, Xia Jinyuan needed to learn emergency protection, how to predict the type of poison based on observation, accurate detection, and data reporting. He would only pass the basic expertise training if he managed to do everything with accuracy, speed, and precision.
The comprehensive training base was behind the shooting range. Machines roared loudly. Soldiers held the sterilizing guns in their hands and sprayed it accurately on the poisonous areas. Their comrades rushed out accurately like sharp swords coming out of their sheath. They accurately found all the poisonous areas and controlled the situation over there.
"The military exercise this time is on handling nuclear leakages and the rescue missions thereafter. The average age of this batch of soldiers is 24 years old. All of them have solid abilities and have participated in many missions."
Commander Guo introduced his soldiers proudly. "They are all outstanding chemical defense soldiers. They have passed their physical training, psychological training, and technique training with flying colors. They might all be young but they are all amazing people!"
"Our military unit used psychological guidance, military exercises, outward bound training, task assignment, technique competition, cooperation practices, as well as many other series of training to make sure that every one of our soldiers in the regiment is a qualified warrior."
Xia Jinyuan listened attentively. These were all the techniques he had to learn. He must be serious.
The combat attire on his body wasn't light. The temperature inside the protective clothing and the gas mask was six degrees Celcius higher than the outside. The entire protective clothing was more than five kilograms and it was airtight.
During summer, they would be sweating even if they just walked in this attire. But, to those soldiers who were training, they had already gotten used to these hardships. They were challenging the maximum capacity of their human body all the time.
Steel needs tempering. All soldiers needed to go through levels of tempering in order to become an outstanding soldier.
They were only able to ensure their safety every time they carry out dangerous missions if they improve their military capabilities. All the hard sessions of training were to ensure that they would be able to come back alive.
After looking at the fearless back view of all the youngsters, Commander Xia said, "Come to the military safely and go back home safely. Life and death aren't decided by fate. It's decided by us. The hardships we go through is to bring benefit to our citizens. No matter where you are, everyone will remember you. Your fearless figures brought peace to our country!"
Besides this bunch of soldiers, whose life was on the line even during training, who else could be the most loved and respected people of this century?
Commander Xia wasn't like most parents who couldn't bear to let their only child go through hardships or suffering. Or be afraid that one day, they would receive a document telling them that their child had sacrificed.
