A week after returning to Jinling, a notification indeed arrived from above:
Form a tactical squad.
"The current intention from above is that you should be the captain, with Chen Lingyun as the vice-captain," Instructor Qi Changping said, "and then you can pick three others from your peers to make up a team of five, forming the Zhendong Army's first combat team. You need to coordinate with your team members as soon as possible, as there might be combat missions assigned to you at any time. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes." Yan Yu said calmly, "The people I select will also need to be approved by those above before they can officially join the team, right?"
"Of course," Qi Changping replied, "Everything should be done by the book."
