The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 18 Self-evaluation?

As the officer finished speaking, Xiao Sumei was still digesting this sudden surprise, but the neighbors were all stunned.

"I just got here, why are there so many people around?"

"Didn't you see it? Xiao Sumei's disappointing son served in the army for three months and made a contribution, a third-class merit!"

"real or fake?"

"You're just talking about cooking without adding salt. Didn't you see the good news from the troops? How could this be fake?!"

"This Su Chen has made great progress!"

"Of course, otherwise why do people say that the army trains people?"

The neighbors were whispering to each other. Xiao Sumei had lived here for a long time. They had watched Su Chen grow up. They knew him very well. They were wondering if Su Chen would be sent back to the army even if he joined the army. Who would have thought that in just three months, he had made great contributions in the army?!

According to what the officer said, Su Chen performed outstandingly in the recruit company, which confused them!

No matter how good the performance of the recruit company was, how good could it be? How come they were only awarded a third-class individual merit?! This is too incredible!

However, they were destined to not be able to know Su Chen’s performance, as it was a military secret.

Amid the envious eyes of the neighbors, Xiao Sumei returned home with a group of military and political cadres.

Back in the small house of less than 60 square meters, the leaders of the county people's armed forces department first expressed their condolences to Xiao Sumei, then hung a banner in the living room, received condolence money and award plaques, took photos and other trivial matters.

.........

Su Chen knew nothing about these things.

It's a rare day off today, as tomorrow is their new recruits' commissioning ceremony. Right now, Su Chen is playing Landlord with his comrades in the dormitory. There are already five or six pieces of paper stuck on his face.

Dai Yuejin is the landlord. "Xiao Si, report one."

It was Su Chen's turn to play. Su Chen looked at the two cards left in his hand, then looked at his teammates, and sighed:

"Pass……"

"What?!" The teammate's eyes widened, "4 You don't want it?!"

Su Chen glanced at him and said, "You have the cards, so why don't you take care of it!"

"I..." The teammate raised his arms and was about to intervene, but when he looked at the cards, he immediately became as helpless as a frost-bitten eggplant, "I... I pass too!"

Dai Yuejin threw out the last king in his hand, "Hahahaha, you two stinky hands, come on, put the strip on me!"

Su Chen put the note up in frustration. The time he spent playing Landlord with Dai Yuejin fully confirmed one thing: he was not suited to gambling. If he sat at the table with his current level, he would probably lose everything.

Da da da……

There was a sound of footsteps approaching, and Chen Rulong pushed the door open and walked in. Su Chen hurriedly took down the note and stood at attention, "Squad Leader!"

Chen Rulong couldn't help laughing, "It was fun, huh?"

"What's good about that? I lost!"

Chen Rulong smiled and said to Su Chen: "Stop playing and come out with me!" "Yes!"

Although he didn't understand why the squad leader was looking for him, Su Chen still followed Chen Rulong out of the dormitory, took a car, went through the camp, and came to another camp.

Through the car window, Su Chen saw a different scenery. The soldiers in training were wearing different 07 Army jungle camouflage than his own. Instead, they were all wearing 07 Hunter camouflage. In the ice and snow, some of them were fighting in close combat with bare upper bodies, or running with weights fully armed.

On the wall of the barracks there is a striking slogan "Carry forward the warrior style and create first-class special warfare", coupled with the soldiers' loud slogans, it looks like a solemn and murderous style, which makes people feel their blood boiling and their male hormones exploding!

"Sergeant, is this the legendary Special Operations Company 8?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Rulong, who was driving, hummed and asked with a smile, "Yes, how do you feel?"

At this time, in the distance, tank tracks were rolling over the frozen land. The roar of heavy machinery, although separated by glass, still shook my heart. In the near distance, a group of soldiers wearing ghillie suits and holding Type 88 sniper rifles passed by the car...

Su Chen was attracted by the sight, "So handsome!"

It has been three months since he joined the army. During his days in the recruit company, all he had access to were automatic rifles. However, this was the first time Su Chen had seen a heavy tank like this, a sniper in a ghillie suit, and a place full of manliness. It was hard not to be attracted!

"This is just the beginning!" Chen Rulong smiled. "Once you've seen the real special forces, I'm afraid you won't even be able to take a step! Remember, only the best soldiers in the Tiger Regiment are qualified to come to the Sharp Knife Eighth Company! And if you want to join the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade, you must first be one of the best in the Sharp Knife Eighth Company! ... Okay, we're here, get off the car!"

After getting off the car, he entered a five-story building marked "Eighth Sharp Knife Company", went up the stairs and entered an office. Only then did Su Chen realize that it was the instructor who wanted to see him.

After bringing Su Chen to the office, Chen Rulong left for something.

Su Chen saluted and said, "Hello, instructor!"

Zhao Chuan returned the salute and pointed to the chair, "Sit down."

“Thank you, instructor!”

After Su Chen sat down, Zhao Chuan smiled and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don't know." Su Chen shook his head.

Zhao Chuan did not directly address the issue, but instead asked a question, "The three-month recruit training has ended. If you were asked to rate your three-month recruit life out of ten, how many points would you give yourself?"

Su Chen was very surprised. After thinking for a while, he said truthfully: "Report, 9 points!"

"9 points? That's a very high score!" Zhao Chuan smiled, "I want to know why you gave yourself such a high score?"

Su Chen said seriously: "Because I think that three months of life as a new soldier has taught me a lot and made me improve a lot. I am more like a soldier, so I am very satisfied with my own changes! However, I also think that I still have a lot of room for improvement, so I give myself nine points, and I left that one point to tell myself that I can be better! Report to the instructor, my answer is finished!"

Su Chen chose to tell the truth.

He was very satisfied with the changes in his recruit company in the past three months. He thought he had done well and gained a lot. Although he could still do better, if he had to comment on himself, Su Chen did not think his performance was bad!
“Haha, that’s a very confident self-evaluation.”

Zhao Chuan smiled. He had seen too many recruits give themselves very low scores when asked this question. This way, they could take a step back. He had not heard many self-evaluations as confident as Su Chen's, but Zhao Chuan liked Su Chen's answer and he liked confident soldiers more, so he continued to ask:

"Then do you want to know how your performance over the past three months is rated in the eyes of me, the regiment, and even the military district leaders?"

Su Chen immediately said: "I want to!"
