[ACE TROOPS]

[Episode 22]

Admission quotas of our Company for the academy have been announced.

There’s a total of 3 quotas,

one of which

is in your squad.

The Company decided to give the quota

to Sergeant Han Chunyu.

What about Jiang Nanzheng?

She’ll remain and fill in your position

as a Sergeant.

Company Commander.

Nanzheng has witnessed the sacrifice

of her comrade-in-arms in this battle.

All she wants is to go for further study.

If she cannot make it this time,

it’ll break her heart.

That’s irrelevant.

But she’s got a Second-class Merit.

Xu Jialu, Sergeant of the Second Squad, also has a Second-class Merit.

She’s not getting the quota either.

That’s not fair.

Sergeant Han.

Don’t get me started on fairness.

There are many soldiers participated in the battle

and got merits.

They, too, are not getting the quotas.

What about fairness for them all?

But there’s a policy.

According to the policy of the military district,

anyone with a Second-class Merit

can go to the academy in principle.

That is the principle, but

it is much more complicated

when actually implemented on the army.

The leadership has taken it into consideration,

and made a specific explanation

that the quotas shall be decided

according to specific cases in the army.

Well, I have the right

to give up my quota

and give it to other comrades.

Han Chunyu.

The decision is made by company party branch.

You’ve been a soldier for 4 years,

and a model sergeant, no less.

This time you’ve got a Third-class Merit on the battlefield.

We will not treat a sergeant like you

badly here.

It’s for the righteousness of Company construction.

Thank you, Sergeant.

But I will not take the quota.

If you were me,

and I gave my quota to you,

would you accept it?

Jiang is right.

You’re young.

You still have the chance to study for the exam.

This is the decision made by the collective,

and I hope that

you can understand.

Nanzheng.

Nanzheng, wait.

Sergeant.

I’m sorry.

Don’t be that way, Sergeant.

If anyone should be sorry,

it would be me.

Every time like this,

you are always the first

to show the dedication.

I always pale by comparison.

Sergeant.

Jiang Nanzheng.

Jiang Nanzheng.

What’s wrong?

You okay?

A bad mood, huh?

Don’t be sad

and be like a warrior of revolution.

Jiang Nanzheng.

Jiang Nanzheng.

Did someone give you a hard time?

Quit it.

I can’t go to the military academy.

Here, let me take that for you.

What went wrong?

I thought there’s a quota for you.

The Company called me and Sergeant for a talk.

They gave the quota to Sergeant Han.

Here, wipe your tear.

Then...

What tissue is this?

Are you going to

make more attempts?

How?

I’m not even allowed to speak.

Sergeant Han spoke for me

and tried to give her quota to me,

but it’s denied immediately by the Company Commander.

It’s okay. Uh... I’m staying here for you.

It’s good.

Okay?

What are you talking about, staying?

Don’t be stupid because of me.

I’m worried that you’ll be stupid

when I thought of the dumb things you did.

Don’t worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

Thanks, comrade.

Jiang Weixing?

How’s your wound?

Better.

Good.

I’m going back.

Niu.

Came back.

The Ninth squad.

We are all that’s left of it.

I know.

I know.

-I know.
-Why are you so heavy?

What are you doing? He just got discharged from hospital!

He’s not injured in the waist.

It’s okay.

It’s just a shot here.

Not a big deal for me.

Discharged already?

Are you fully recovered?

What did you say?

I’m already here!

I just can’t stand another minute in the hospital.

They don’t let me go,

and I broke out.

And you,

you didn’t visit me in the hospital.

It kind of hurt my feelings.

I’m not in your Company.

Why would I visit you?

And... did you really pay attention?

She had visited you many times.

Just shedding tear outside the window

she didn’t go in

so that you can rest.

Be clear about that.

So you did visit me.

When?

Why didn’t I know?

Don’t believe him.

I was in the hospital but I,

I didn’t visit you.

Don’t lie.

That’s bad.

Go about your business.

I’ll have a talk with him.

Talk to you later.

Go.

What’s the situation?

There are only 3 quotas in the Company.

Gao Liang didn’t get it either.

That’s the situation.

Then

do we still

have a chance?

Political Commissar.

I thought you won’t be back till tomorrow.

There’s just too much to mind in my family

to have meetings.

I did a little twist

and bothered to reduce the schedule.

The Army Commander and the Political Commissar took the advice

and reduced the meeting schedule

from two days and a half to one day.

I’m not going to the dinner tonight.

You’re not?

I’m going to the military to take the place for you.

I told you not to criticize.

Now you’ve put the Vice Army Commander

in a really awkward place.

Words do spread fast.

Don’t blame me.

The army has experienced battle.

We shall train the army

according to the battle.

Isn’t it obvious?

They’re still following the old pattern,

and I just have to criticize.

Let’s talk about this

later in the night.

I need to give you a heads-up

for a certain matter.

Just be prepared.

What is it?

Gao just told me that

Nanzheng didn’t get the quota for the academy.

Is she not qualified?

She is, and there was a quota for her.

But the quota

is given to a Sergeant who has been a soldier for four years.

She’s also an asset.

Did she give the quota away?

Why are you looking at me?

This is not like you.

Did I say something?

I didn’t criticize you.

I’m just giving you a heads-up.

Nanzheng

is not the only one suffered from this.

The leadership wants balance.

They want to cover everything,

and to change the policy.

There’s over a hundred persons

who were cut off

just in our division alone.

I talked to Gao that

we should honor the spirit of the leadership,

and the Political Department must do the ideological work

of the comrades whose quotas were cut off.

They’ve contributed to the people

and bled for the country.

Do not let things like this

shake their faith.

You, as the Division Commander, must hold it first.

What do you mean?

When did I fail to hold it?

You may have held it in the past.

But this time is different.

I know that

you’ll worry about Nanzheng.

It’s why

I gave you this heads-up.

I’m not getting involved.

Do you think I want to deny my responsibility?

It’s different this time.

You and the kid had not known each other for 18 years.

It is your responsibility.

You can

take this opportunity

to get to know

each other a little more.

I don’t want to get involved.

Stop.

It makes sense.

As a father,

it’s okay either to step in or not.

I,

as a Political Commissar,

can publicly state that

I’m not getting involved,

but some of the cadres will.

It’s normal.

What you just said,

“I don’t WANT to get involved.”

Are you worried that it will hinder you?

Don’t want to take care of your own daughter?

And you stressed the word WANT instead of INVOLVE.

Do you understand now

that why you got divorced?

Stop using that against me.

You’ll do the ideological work of Nanzheng for me.

Me again?

Okay, I understand.

Oh, by the way,

Where’s the admission person?

Yeah, the admission office, yeah.

Okay, thanks.

[Duty of Company Commanders; Ideals and beliefs; Duty of instructors]

Gu Yiye.

Why did you take the money back with you?

She took the subsidies by the Company,

but would not accept those

donated by comrades in the Company.

Is her family in that difficult situation?

Platoon Leader’s family doesn’t have a working labour force.

The elders died,

[Model Hero Company; Training Model]

and there’s hospital debts.

Platoon Leader never said anything about it.

I didn’t know what a hard life

he was living until I visited this time.

If that’s the case,

we shall care more about it.

We can’t just leave it after sending him home.

[Company]

Let’s talk about this later.

Go back and wash up.

New recruits of the battalion are arriving,

and you’re coming with me to pick them up in the battalion.

Yes, sir.

Company Commander.

I want to ask for a leave of half a day.

For what?

Go.

Gao.

Here’s some chili sauce.

It’s from Xiu.

She urged me

to give it to you.

Not feeling guilty anymore?

Finally let it go?

What do you mean?

Yeah.

I can’t let it haunt me forever.

Platoon Leader saved my life,

and I will never forget it,

nor let go.

You know who you should call.

He’s in trouble,

and is thinking about you.

Company Commander.

What’s wrong with that brat Gao?

Did he need another spanking

after the days?

Don’t ask.

Make your call,

Comrade Quasi-Officer.

Just pretend I’m not here.

In days,

you can openly have relationships.

What?

Why did they cut you off?

There’s only one quota in the squad.

Is there anything we can do?

The quota is given by the leadership.

The Company is also awkward on this one.

Nothing we can do.

Yiye.

I feel so sad.

Take it easy, Nanzheng.

How can it turn out like this?

It’s just been days.

Enough about me.

How are you doing? Is everything OK?

I don’t know how

to describe what I feel now.

Much happened

in these few days.

Something

I’ve never experienced.

Never known.

Never dared to imagine.

It’s just like

having a completely different life.

Tell me, what is it?

Mother Zhang is blind,

but she is thinking about Xiu,

thinking about getting her out of the Zhang’s family,

and let her have her own life.

But Xiu is also thinking about Mother Zhang,

and would not leave no matter what.

And the villagers.

They took Platoon Commander home

with the highest respect

and treated him like family.

They’re just too kind,

too simple.

They don’t ask for anything

from anyone.

Is there anything I can do, Yiye?

I don’t know.

[Duty of Company Commanders; Ideals and beliefs; Duty of instructors]

I really don’t know what I can do,

or what I should do.

All I know is,

I came back with something missing.

The family of Platoon Leader,

they made me worry,

it feels like I’ve left my entire heart

behind in his home.

Political Commissar.

The meeting in the military district is just in time.

After all the practice,

the battle actually hit,

and it hit us bad, but also made us aware.

It’s simple:

First,

the military must find worthy opponents,

not just scratching itself.

And second,

master the war if you want peace.

Without an ace in the hand,

someone will come and get you.

It’s a glorious fight,

but many problems were revealed.

Yeah.

Our army has fallen behind

on concepts, systems,

and operational ideas.

The idea of training soldiers and officers in peace

is toxic.

There must be an ace for the military.

It’s not about how many military forces a country has.

It’s about how many ace troops it has.

It’s the No.1 principle.

Zheng.

That’s a nice concept of aces.

Simple as the one word,

and you’ve got the standard.

It agreed with the strategic idea of

elite force of the military leadership.

There’s about to be

a new slimming on the military.

It is a forceful one.

Military is the field with the most intense confrontation,

and the most intense competition.

I got some data from the headquarter,

and the top military power

of the world

has long started the technological construction

and military revolution of their armies.

We can’t fall behind.

I understand your concern.

This reform

is more forceful than ever.

Slimming the military

while developing technological content

and efficiency.

We must prepare

for the reform.

Look at me,

almost forgetting the important issue.

The policy is drastically changed,

and the military academy is having enrollment plan

in addition to the recommendation.

Is this true?

Is it still in time

to sign up now?

The deadline is 3 days later.

Okay, I see.

Sir.

Come in.

Chief.

Why are you here?

It’s been a while,

and I think I’ll pay a visit.

A visit?

You little brat, did you grow complacent

for having a First-class Merit?

There’re reports from agencies

that

some comrades who

have distinguished performance on the battlefield

are lowering their self-standard

after the battle,

slacking and stuff.

The division is trying to get examples,

and would you be that unlucky one?

Chief.

I’m not that kind of guy.

After I retreated from the front line,

I’ll remind myself

in daily training

that I’m training for the sacrificed comrades-in-arms.

When I’m on a duty,

I’ll remind myself

that I’m on duty for the sacrificed comrades-in-arms.

Then how come you have time

to visit me?

Chief.

I’m here today

to complain for Jiang Nanzheng.

Complain?

For Nanzheng?

Yes.

Division Commander.

I’ve served you for a long time,

and I know you are a righteous person.

The wine smashing,

it was like smashed on my head,

and I’ll never forget it in my life.

But there’re things

like

Nanzheng going to the military academy.

It’s really important to her,

and I hope you can help her out.

Help her out? How?

Then

what about other kids?

What about those who are

not capable of helping out their children?

I heard that

your quota got cut off too.

Would you need my help too?

No, Chief.

If I can’t go to the military academy, I’ll stay in the military.

I’ll do my best in training.

I’ll show you that

you can get good soldiers without going to the academy.

But it’s different for Nanzheng.

Nanzheng not going to the military

is a matter of two people.

Two people?

Which two people?

No, a matter of one person.

Don’t play that with me,

I am familiar with you.

Tell me the truth.

Sir, there’s really nothing to tell.

When you were at the division headquarters,

you went to the Communication Company as soon as you got some time,

and always talked to me

about this and that about Nanzheng.

What’s really happening between you two?

Are you in a secret relationship?

How’s that possible?

Zheng?

Dad,

I am in a relationship,

but it’s not with him.

Then who is him?

I can’t tell you that.

Or else with your warlord-like parent conduct,

his future will definitely be ruined.

Is he a soldier?

How dare you!

Do you know

that soldiers can’t be in relationships.

Chief…

You step out

of this.

Chief,

she’s a girl and too shy to say it,

so I’ll do it for her.

She, she is in a relationship,

but she hasn’t even held that man’s hand,

not to mention effecting work.

The military discipline does ask us

not to be involved in relationships,

but it didn’t ask us

not to like someone, right?

Gao Liang, Gao Liang,

what should I do with you?

You little jerk.

You said all these, and you know

that I, as the Division Commander, can’t say anything,

but I’m her father,

and I really want to shoot you!

Zheng!

Dad,

you were right at not asking for favors

to try to get me the test opportunity.

I would be disappointed

if you actually did.

I hope you can always be this tough.

This

is the dad my mom hated

yet couldn’t let go for decades.

But dad,

Gao Liang is the role model of the whole army,

and if this kind of soldier’s opportunity

of pursuing education is taken away,

then does it mean Division 234’s standard

of nurturing talents has some problems?

I, as a soldier,

hope the Chief’s Office

can consider this with great care.

This is our community-level soldiers’ aspiration,

and the reason for me coming here for you today.

By the way,

I, as your daughter, really hope my relationship

can be understood by my father,

and have your blessings.

Especially when it’s here in the military,

not blessed

or understood by anyone.

Zheng…

Chief…

Can you understand her feeling and give her your blessings?

Sir, I can understand,

but…

But what?

But,

but what’s the opposite to give blessings?

I want to say that word.

I do want to understand her.

I do want to give her my blessings.

But I am furious.

I can’t control myself.

Chief, please control yourself.

I’m also mad.

Where’s the liquor?

I’ll pour you some.

Jerk!

You tell me,

who’s the one dared to lay a finger on my daughter?

Tell me!

Chief, I can’t tell you that.

I’ll punish you!

Chief,

if we are not wearing this military uniform,

I would ask you to shoot me.

Then

when Zheng get married

and has kids,

she’ll remember that many years ago,

a dumb young man

died a glorious death

covering for her and her love.

You run off!

Go!

Yes, sir.

Come back!

You go to the cadre section and ask.

Ask

about the qualification and requirements for applying to military institute.

You can go.

Yes, sir.

Jiang Nanzheng!

Why didn’t you tell me

that you didn’t pass either?

What’s to say about it?

It’s not something glorious.

Why not tell me?

You don’t think I’m your friend.

You are my best friend.

That’s why we should stand the hard times together!

And you, you were trying to get over it alone,

and you nearly sold me out.

Anything else?

Nothing.

I just saw you in a bad mood,

and wanted to be at your company.

You are with First-class Merit,

why can’t you go to the institute either?

That does not actually matter.

That old fella said

that I’m like his half son,

so he definitely won’t pull any strings for me,

right?

What half son? You are talking those nonsense again!

It’s real,

he said it before I joined the war.

I think at that time,

even if I asked his permission to marry you,

he’ll say yes.

What are you kidding?

Look at the situation!

So heartless! It’s not funny!

Fine, then let’s talk about something else.

Heaven never seals off all the exits.

I’m telling you, I already did my research.

There are two ways to go to the military academy.

The first is to get recommended by the military,

and the second is to take the unified examination.

Really?

Really.

Gao Liang!

You are here, Gao Liang!

You are taking the exam too, huh?

[Military institutes entrance exam Regiment 700, 123rd Test Room]

Hi, Gao Liang!

Why do you know them all?

I’m the celebrity here.

Everyone’s trying to be my friend,

I’m telling you.

[Military Test, the platform for advance.]

Alright, it’s here.

Hurry up and get in, it’s going to begin.

Won’t you come in too? You have to take the exam too.

My test room is over there.

Mine is not here.

Come on, I have faith in you.

Get a good grade,

and give those Company Commanders, Colonels, Division Commanders,

and your father

a great shock!

The I’ll organize you a victory banquet.

I’ve had a deal with the Night Tiger Company’s Commander,

we’ll go to their place, have
braised pork with dark soy sauce.

[Serve the people.]

Your words?

My words. Go.

I’m going.

Go for it!

Get ready for the exam!

What are the requirements to applicants?

Then,

what if someone didn’t graduate from junior high? Would it work?

[Serve the people.]

[Military institutes entrance exam Regiment 700, 123rd Test Room]

[Serve the people.]

[The 3rd Test room]

Jiang Nanzheng,

how was your test?

It was great.

That’s great.

You didn’t take the test, did you?

I,

I’m not qualified.

Why?

To take the test,

one has to graduate from high school.

I didn’t even graduate from junior high school.

[Serve the people.]

I can’t take the exam.

So you waited here for me for 4 hours?

Seeing you take the test is like I did.

It’s the same.

Why did you lie to me?

I wasn’t lying to you,

I was afraid

I might affect your mood.

I was afraid you would not perform well.

It’s nothing.

You know your tiny mood fluctuation

to me is like the mountain’s shaking,

right?

Don’t, don’t cry.

This is a happy thing.

Don’t cry, come on.

There are so many people around.

I’m the celebrity here.

I’m with First-class Merit!

It’ll make a bad influence.

Don’t cry, come on.

I hate you…

Alright,

let’s go have braised pork with dark soy sauce,

[Military Test, the platform for advance.]

shall we?

Have some mice extra meal!

She made it, huh?

She made it herself,

without taking the military’s quota
.

The Third place in the military district.

This girl

really earned the honor for our division.

I Zheng Yuan’s daughter

won’t be disappointing even intended to.

You,

what should I say about you!

Your ex-wife raised the kid for you,

and you didn’t do much, did you?

And your kid made her own way,

didn’t ask for your input, right?

I really wonder,

why did the good things all happened to you?

I’ll tell you another thing.

The other kid of you

made it too.

Who?

Gao Liang of course.

He didn’t get in through the exam.

He didn’t graduate junior high and isn’t qualified.

The Army Academy

pulled his file

and Director Wang said that

this is a rare scout-to-be.

You won’t find many in the whole troop.

The military

just lacks this kind of man with mind

and combat experience.

They talked directly to the military district,

said they must take this soldier with them.

Great!

Don’t tell me you did it.

My public servant,

how can I not know what he’s capable of?

How can I not inspire his potentials?

I didn’t hear you talked about it even once!

Wang,

in this foreign operation,

I really understood.

They were combating us with special forces.

And they won’t fight you on positional warfare,

won’t give you chances to move in a large scale.

They use top soldiers only.

Synth tactics will be the future war form.

I’m telling you here.

Special forces will be formed soon.

An old acquaintance of mine, Beckwith

wrote a book in America

which has been translated into Chinese.

Do you know who told me this?

Who?

Gao Liang.

What?

He explored the military history

based on the information collected from the army,

and found this man.

Then a comrade’s girlfriend

who is studying in America

found this book.

A soldier was only

three days later

than our Military Information Department.

He was even planning on learning English just to read the book.

But how long would it take?

Considering this, he, even unwillingly,

gave me the book.

Little Wangcheng only knows to learn from Lei Feng,

without learning that someone around us did things like that.

Not everyone can accomplish things like that.

It’s owing to the persistence and respect towards the war.

And you,

finally find your confidant.

The future is on their hands.

[Dormitory]

Gao Liang.

Yes, sir!

Commander.

Are you feeling so good wearing leather shoes?

You can’t stop showing off, can you?

What are you saying?

Division Commander called

and told you to come over.

What’s the matter?

And bring two bottles of wine.

I can’t afford good wine.

Take it easy.

Division Commander said that

just the cheap one would do.

I’ve prepared for you already.

Commander.

What kind of cheap wine?

Commander.

Here they are.

Here, take them.

Hurry up and go.

- Hurry up. The car is waiting.
- No.

What’s the rush?

Division Commander,

this is my first time

sitting in the back seats with you. I’m...

I’m pretty nervous.

Who are we going to meet with the wine?

Don’t bother to ask.

I have a good news for you.

Infantry College

made a special-recruiting for you.

Chief, you’re the big boss.

Don’t make jokes on me.

How can I be special-recruited

when there’s no quota at all?

Ten more quotas have been allocated

to our division.

Your comrades who had no quotas originally,

can now have the chances.

Are you serious?

Ten quotas?

Then all of us can go there, can’t we?

Chief, I’m telling you.

If I tell this news to Niu Mancang,

the whole squad will wash my underwear for me for a whole year.

Don’t be funny.

You don’t even bother to ask that

how we can get these quotas.

It must be credited to you, Chief.

I have no such power to pull it off.

Then who has?

[Raise vigilance, defend the motherland.]

Chief, Chief, is this...

is this the military community?

Why are you taking me here?

What’s going on?

Listen,

I had been a public servant for Deputy Commander Xiao,

just like you for me.

The reason I told you to sit in the back seats with me is to let you know that

we are both public servants

when visiting him.

To tell you the truth,

your quotas for the college

were applied by Deputy Commander Xiao.

Deputy Commander Xiao?

Chief, why didn’t you tell me earlier?

The wine we brought would not

be good enough for visiting Deputy Commander Xiao.

I would borrow money from Qin Dapao

and buy quality liquor if told sooner.

This wine would never be good enough!

How can we bring this kind of wine to Commander?

Division Commander.

Li Ziguo, why did you stop us?

Report, Division Commander!

Deputy Commander Xiao has gone to Regiment 720.

Colonel Chen called our duty room

and told me to pass on this information.

Turn around. Go to Regiment 720.

[Military oath]

Deputy Commander Xiao.

I...

kind of missed my former company,

and wanted to come back and see it.

I’ll just talk to Division Commander Zheng.

You don’t have to come with us.

This...

Yes, sir!

Okay, okay.

[Guilin Sanhua Liquor]

Boy,

you still remember that’s my favourite.

Who is this?

This is Gao Liang.

He was the public servant for me.

Great kid.

Just came back from the battlefield,

and was recommended for admission to Infantry College.

Hail, Chief!

Good.

What a toady!

He knows exactly what I want to see.

I’ll eat here, okay?

Come on, Chief.

Come on.

[Be frugal for foods dined. Be grateful for favors received.]

I did not realize that after all these years that

the arbitrament in 1985

was astonishing

in the history of People's Liberation Army.

[Pay attention to sanitation in public places.]

In order to construct a formidable,

modernized,

and standardized revolutionary army,

nearly overnight,

tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of People’s Liberation Army

took off their beloved uniforms.

And most armies

with good traditions for dozens of years,

in just one night,

were disappeared

on the list of People’s Liberation Army.

Most officers and soldiers who had won tons of merits

took of their armors and went home.

And some of the armies

that just withdrew from frontline,

without further hesitation

began months of confined training,

and were disarmed.

It was a sacrifice that had to be made

before victory.

It required a noble consciousness

and a high ideological level.

For me...

I’m eager to put on...

Back then, in most of the military communities,

there were two kinds of uniforms.

Those who stayed

could have the uniforms from 1985,

while for those who would leave soon,

uniforms from 1978.

Their different uniforms

signified different paths.

The comrades who were about to leave

would even lose the title of Liberation Army,

the name that all of them once shared.

But they all knew that

they had a common goal

which was making our army much stronger.

You always said that I talked loudly.

But you had no idea

why I did that.

That’s because I was scared.

[Be frugal for foods dined. Be grateful for favors received.]

When we were in the war,

my Sergeant was severely injured.

He asked me,

“Are you scared?”

I said yes.

He asked, “What are you scared of?”

I answered, “I was scared of death.”

He said that people would not be scared

if they did die.

I thought that it was the truth.

And then I said,

“I was scared of the ghost.”

He said, “Don’t be.”

“I’m dying.”

“After I die,”

“I will protect you right by your side.”

“Those bad guys that turned into ghosts”

“will dare not to be close to you.”

I’ve not been scared ever since,

because I know that

there are lots of comrades by my side,

watching me, guarding me.

Therefore, from then on,

I’ve talked loudly

for every words.

And I’ve done

everything nicely,

because I know that

they are listening to me

and they are watching me.

Come on.

Chief,

your former subordinates said that

if you stayed in Beijing,

you would go on wearing this uniform

and protecting us.

If you leave us,

there will be no one who can help me

to apply for the funds of repairing combat readiness road.

You will be much better with me being gone.

Regardless of what happened before liberation,

from 1960s

when mules were everywhere to see

to today when motorcycles were everywhere to see,

in these 20 years,

in just 20 years,

what kind of changes have taken place in our army?

But for me, that’s not enough. Not enough.

In the battlefield, it’s always the faster armies winning over slower ones,

changing armies winning over non-changing ones,

and new ones over old ones.

What use can it be if the army does not welcome revolutionary?

Take myself for example,

I, with no doubt,

have better interpersonal connections than the youngsters.

However,

when it comes to study, theories,

revolutionary and improvement,

the youngsters are far beyond my reach.

You can do the math, ten youngsters

go to the college and become officers

with just me retiring.

What a great deal!

Come on.

Chief.

The reason I brought him here today

is paying tribute to you

on behalf of his comrades.

Thanks, Chief!

Good.

Ceremony completed!

Today,

we can dispense the formalities.

Division Commander Zheng was once my subordinate.

But,

unlike me,

he’s not timorous at all,

which is an improvement.

You’re his subordinate,

thus you need to

jump over his shoulder as well.

Yes, sir!

[Be frugal and against waste.]

Come on, let’s propose a toast again.

Come on.

Chief,

your decision

has changed the lives of ten youngsters,

and also changed the lives

of these ten officers-to-be.

Thanks, Chief!

After they grow up,

I believe that

the path of Liberation Army

will change greatly.

Here.

Deputy Commander Xiao

declined the appointment to the headquarter,

and chose to take off the uniform

with millions of officers and soldiers

during the disarmament.

In the autumn and winter of the year,

military vehicles

could be seen everywhere.

Disappearing and evacuation

shared a similar solemn and stirring atmosphere to be on the warpath.

That’s a day

when the two veterans were drunk.

[Be frugal for foods dined. Be grateful for favors received.]

Sergeant!

Soldier Xiao Changsheng

is reporting to you!

My final mission assigned by the army

is leaving.

Sergeant!

I promise

to finish this mission no matter what!

Sergeant!

I miss you!
