Chapter 366: I'm investing in this Land Swimmer project!

1!

2!

1, pay attention to proper form, lift your legs for me!

On the open ground, the soldiers of the Sixth Company were divided into two batches.

One batch lay on the bench, moving their arms according to the caliber, simulating the arm stroke of freestyle swimming.

The other batch stood at the front end of the bench, holding a small yellow basin full of water.

For the swimming one, they need to bury their heads in the water, and each flop splashes some water out.

Just this land-based dry swimming, lacking conditions, forcibly creating conditions this way is really too novel, really leaving people stunned.

"Old Ma, what are you guys up to?"

"Coming."

Ma Qing'an seemed to have known Gao Feng would come, raising his hand to greet him.

Gao Feng moved close to a soldier who was 'swimming', watching his face constantly flopping in the small yellow basin, and asked.

"Is this how you do your adaptability training?"

"Hmm, how is it? Not bad, right?"

"Very substantive!"

Gao Feng gave a thumbs up and asked how they came up with this idea.

Ma Qing'an smiled slightly, directly calling Lu Yang over: "Come, introduce your brilliant ideas to the Seventh Company Commander; also tell us how you've been leading everyone in adaptability training these days."

Lu Yang immediately spoke energetically: "Considering that the most important thing in swimming is cardiopulmonary function, we started training by holding our breath."

"First we go to the dry toilet..."

"Dry toilet?"

Gao Feng, Guo Yongwen, and Ding Tengfei all had faces full of black question marks.

Lu Yang nodded and briefly explained the principle; the three listening had their eyelids twitching.

Such a vicious training method, they had never even heard of it.

With this, what need is there for an air purifier? It washes away any stench.

Lu Yang continued: "Then it's holding breath in water, but this water isn't ordinary; it's salted."

Ding Tengfei reacted: "Simulating seawater?"

"Correct."

Lu Yang stepped back, pointing at LiMin flopping on the bench: "Finally, we must mention the ultimate version of adaptability training."

"To solve the limitation of being able to swim anytime, anywhere, I researched equipment not limited by venue or environment."

"I call it the Land Swimmer!"

"Router?"

Gao Feng and the three looked bewildered.

Lu Yang shook his finger: "The 'land' of land, the 'swim' of swimming; I also plan to apply for an invention patent for it."

"Don't look down on its simplicity, but it indeed solves the problem of wanting to train swimming without a swimming pool."

"Moreover, the seawater flavor can be privately customized, for example..."

Lu Yang pulled a tea bag from his pocket and tossed it into the washbasin.

"For example, those who like tea can toss in a tea bag."

"Those who like health can sprinkle in a handful of goji berries and red dates."

"Those who like sour can pour in some vinegar."

"If you feel your skin is bad and needs improvement, you can also add some milk."

Watching Lu Yang pull out a bunch of things from his pocket like a magic trick, the three were dumbfounded.

Gao Feng clapped vigorously, eyes full of admiration: "Talent! If you were a businessman, I would definitely invest in your Land Swimmer."

Lu Yang modestly waved his hand: "Just a small idea, just a small idea."

Ma Qing'an said with a smile: "Let's go, let's talk in the office. Knowing you've come to learn, I've printed and organized the training plan methods for you. Rest assured, this time I guarantee it's genuine, you can take it back and use it."

Gao Feng: "Hehehe, still have to be the brother-in-law's genuine style!"

……

Days passed one by one.

The soldiers of the Sixth Company, while doing daily physical and drill training, added an adaptability training session.

Although they were just basic training such as breath adjustment, breath holding, and introductory swimming.

But being prepared versus unprepared ultimately makes a different mental state.

The Seventh Company also followed Lu Yang's plan, selectively incorporating it into daily training.

Because it wasn't personally directed by Lu Yang, and besides the units have different functions, some incompatibility is inevitable, but that's also unavoidable.

Other units in the regiment, some are also actively preparing, but a very few directly choose to slack off, doing whatever they like.

The difference between ordinary units and elite companies lies not only in strength, but also in their state when facing unknown challenges.

In the blink of an eye, next month arrived, and that approximate day drew ever closer.

The reason it's called an approximate day is because the red-headed document never came down.

Only when one formally receives the red-headed document, i. e., the so-called reorganization order, does one truly receive the command and begin preparations to move out.

……

That morning, in the regiment office, Wang Zhongxi was working.

His office was cleaner than before, because he had tidied it up in advance.

Although the final transfer order never came down, he knew it would happen in just these two days.

So, he tidied up the office in advance, throwing away useless things and gathering useful ones beforehand to avoid forgetting to take them.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Tan Yuanzhou burst in, shouting three words at him.

"They're here!"

Not long after, a Navy Colonel arrived with the document that could decide their fate, standing before him.

This Navy Colonel was slim, about thirty-five years old, and he did not know him.

However, the Lieutenant who came in with this Navy Colonel, he recognized.

Pan Yuan, former Sixth Company Instructor.

"Finally, they still came."

Wang Zhongxi greeted the two and had them sit down, first offering them cigarettes.

After they shook their heads and refused, he then lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and spoke in a calm tone.

"I still held a sliver of hope, thinking you might not come, or perhaps you were just too busy to remember."

"Indeed, sometimes people just can't be too optimistic or indulge in wild fantasies, hahaha."

Although Wang Zhongxi tried to appear calm and used smiles to mask his inner feelings, everyone actually knew how tormented he felt inside.

The Navy Colonel spoke gently: "The state is vigorously developing the Navy; being selected from among the many Army units to support Navy development is something you should feel pleased about."

"In the future, you will be witnesses and participants in the growth of formidable naval power..."

"Don't feed me all those grand principles!"

Wang Zhongxi waved his hand forcefully, and his tone suddenly rose considerably.

"I've been in the troops for so many years; I still have this level of awareness."

"I know that for the troops to develop, there must be sacrifice, change, and progress."

"I experienced the 2003 major downsizing as well, and I understand these principles better than you. But you should know, the Special Third Regiment is an honorable unit, forged by countless predecessors..."

The Navy Colonel sat there, listening intently as he spoke.

Pan Yuan stood at the back, several times wanting to interject but never finding a suitable moment.

Because he felt his current situation was somewhat awkward; in the past he was a member of the Special Third Regiment.

But now, he is accompanying superiors, bringing orders to reorganize the former leaders and units.

After he finished speaking, the Navy Colonel reached out, took a cigarette from his case, lit it, and smoked it in his company.

"If you have any demands, you can raise them; we will try our best to meet them."

"I have only one demand!"

Wang Zhongxi raised a finger, his tone very solemn.

"What is it?"

"There's a soldier I must definitely take with me!"

"You mean Lu Yang?"

"Exactly, I have no other conditions; even if I get demoted after going there, I can accept it, but I must take this soldier!"

The Navy Colonel laughed, exhaling a puff of smoke: "Regiment Commander Wang, on this point we are of like mind; this soldier also suits our Navy's taste. However..."

"However what?"

"However, the resistance is strong—not just from your division, but even your group army is secretly exerting effort, which gives us a headache!"

Wang Zhongxi fell silent; aside from the lingering smoke, the office was quiet.

Neither Tan Yuanzhou, Pan Yuan, nor Wang Zhongxi expected that in just a year and a half, Lu Yang would attract such attention, even the group army taking him so seriously.

Considering the audacious things he had done before, Wang Zhongxi suddenly felt it was only natural.

He asked: "So, what plan do you have in mind to get the person over?"

The Navy Colonel stubbed out the cigarette: "We need an opportunity, a suitable moment!"
