Lu Ziqing rolled onto his side and said to Qi Yong, "Have everyone take their positions."
"Commander..."
Qi Yong hesitated, "Treating these new recruits like this is really a bit much. Even if you were to fetch soldiers who had served for two years, they might not be able to pass the test smoothly."
"Xilin has never had anything like an officers' preparatory course in all the time since it was established. These students are so eager to enroll because they all know it's a shortcut on the path to becoming an officer."
"With opportunity often comes challenges and risks. Isn't that right, Lieutenant Qi?"
Once Lu Ziqing said this, Qi Yong had no room left for rebuttal and could only stand straight, saluting, "Yes, sir. I'll get everyone into position right away."
Duan Chen listened, but his gaze was fixed on the distance where Song Lili and Lin Xinglan had left...
