Chapter 519: To Ensure the Soldiers' Happiness, We Must Support

"Instructor, is there a final point?"

"The final point."

The instructor, with a serious expression, said: "I think you, comrade, are extremely selfish."

Huang Honghui was stunned: "Me, selfish? How could I be selfish? I have devoted my youth and energy entirely to the unit; how could I be selfish?"

The instructor sternly criticized: "You married early, have a wife and children; your marriage is blissful, family happy, life at its peak, a winner in life......"

Huang Honghui involuntarily sat up straight, his chin slightly raised, a faint hint of pride curling at the corner of his mouth.

Just because of that, he had already outperformed sixty to seventy percent of the troops.

Because within the unit, the older unmarried soldiers are a high‑risk group.

"You are happily fulfilled, while many rank‑and‑file soldiers are still single."

"Platoon Leader Li, Director of Affairs Sun, Company Commander Zhao, and many veteran Non‑commissioned Officers."

"This morale‑boosting performance, a military‑civilian liaison activity, already carries a certain matchmaking flavor; you know our Battalion Commander divorced last year, aren't you unaware......."

"Why did they divorce?" Huang Honghui immediately started gossiping.

"It seems to be due to long‑term separation, plus the elderly getting sick, children's education, the unit having few leaves, heavy missions; over time they argued constantly, gave each other the cold shoulder, and then there was nothing more......"

The instructor sighed, saying that soldiers falling in love and marrying is already difficult; maintaining it after marriage is equally hard.

But then he turned his criticism back to Huang Honghui, sternly rebuking him.

"You are well fed and clothed, your wife and children are there, your little life is unbelievably happy."

"On weekends the child is left with the grandparents, the daughter‑in‑law comes to the family courtyard with big bags, Xiao Liu from the family courtyard has reported several times that your bed keeps needing repair, it's broken multiple times......"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop it, stop it!"

Huang Honghui, embarrassed, quickly stopped: "This, this has nothing to do with me; the family courtyard's bed quality is poor, it's famous for that!"

The instructor rolled his eyes: "In short, this activity is highly valued by the brigade; if you obstruct it, you stand opposite everyone, you become the executioner preventing soldiers from reaching happiness!"

Huang Honghui truly surrendered; the accusations kept piling up.

No matter how eloquent, even ten of them couldn't outtalk the instructor.

"Alright, alright, I won't oppose any more, I support it, that should be fine, right?"

"That's about right."

Who are the people coming for the visit and comfort?

"Mainly some medical school students, the ones who were digging bombs before; look, they didn't go to the Third Brigade, they specifically came to our Second Brigade, which shows that our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Battalion has a big reputation, a strong name!"

"Hehe, that's true......"

Huang Honghui smiled quite happily.

Because this indirectly shows that the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Battalion's reputation is shining.

Such a visit and comfort will be filmed by a local TV station; of course, the unit must have military merits, history, and achievements.

Units like the one Lu Yang belongs to, newly formed, lacking everything, unable to showcase anything, have no interview value or necessity.

The instructor said: "Let me give you a suggestion. In the next few days you'll be a bit idle, right? Why not go to the hospital, have that hemorrhoid removed, and get some recuperation in the process."

Huang Honghui frowned: "Will it delay things?"

"What, you think the world will stop turning if you're not here?"

"That's not it."

"Training matters, the Battalion Commander will keep an eye on them, you focus on yours; dragging this out only makes it worse, it increasingly harms combat effectiveness, rendering hard qi gong useless."

"Alright, I'll call the hospital later to consult, find time to get a check‑up first."

"Mm."

【9】 Huang Honghui first called the hospital, arranged a time with Director Tong.

Huang Honghui first called the hospital to arrange a time with Director Tong.

Then he gathered everyone and told them about the visit and comfort performance.

As he expected, everyone was so excited they could barely contain themselves, each one jumping up.

Huang Honghui waved his hand, telling everyone not to get too excited: "People, arrive tomorrow, we need to set up the venue, do rehearsals, etc.; I'm not clear on the specifics, the instructor will handle coordination."

"After this morning's training, we'll schedule a collective big cleaning in the afternoon, tidy up the camp's hygiene, especially personal hygiene!"

"Especially those with smelly feet, dirt under nails, underwear turned inside out, who haven't washed for days, body odor—pay attention to that."

"The brigade places great importance on this event; there will definitely be leaders coming to inspect, and local TV reporters will interview, so it must be flawless."

Also, many of those performing the visit and comfort are young girls; each one should tidy up a bit, don't scare them, preserve our military dignity!

"Yes!"

The soldiers grew even more excited, their minds filled with anticipation for the event.

Huang Honghui watched, unable to suppress a sigh in his heart.

In the ranks, the overwhelming majority are boys in their early twenties.

An age when they should unleash their nature, yet they bear the soldier's mission and duties; the pressure is indeed great.

Huang Honghui had often heard subordinates mention finding unflushed toilet paper rolls; they're all of that age, so he could understand and never said anything.

Day after day of training for so long, enduring so many hardships, earning so many honors, a proper two‑ or three‑day relaxation is no big deal.

On the other side, Lu Yang was also addressing the crowd, but the atmosphere was completely different.

"At ease!"

"Stand at attention!"

Lu Yang straightened the formation, his gaze sweeping over each cold, stern face.

"Immediately, we will commence a week‑long high‑difficulty field training!"

"Training subjects, besides basic physical fitness, also include camouflage, concealment, reconnaissance, Mine Clearance, mine laying, and wilderness survival!"

"Our opponents are now lax, relaxing; therefore we must seize every second to close the gap, grab every opportunity, and strive for greater victory!"

You have five minutes—go back to get equipment, then still gather here. Dismissed!

At the command, the unit scattered instantly, rushing quickly toward Shushe lou.

Recently, everyone had been mentally messed with by the Night Tiger, feeling really stifled.

Nowadays, finally there is an opportunity to overtake in a straight line; they will definitely not miss it.

Even someone shouted, "If we don't die from training, then we'll train to death; as long as we can achieve progress and be able to slap those people in the face during the drills, we're willing to endure any hardship."

What Lu Yang wants is exactly this effect; now only by sharing hatred for the enemy and focusing our efforts can we maximize the harvest.

He Zhen Tao came over and said, "One part effort, two parts return—if we could have such an opportunity every day, that would be great!"

Ma Qing'an curiously asked, "You said earlier you would prepare a big gift for Night Tiger, using their own methods to treat them—what exactly is this big gift?"

Lu Yang smiled faintly, speaking mysteriously: "Heaven's secrets must not be leaked; when the time comes, you'll find out~"
