Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 794: Overacting, like a farewell of life and death

Qiu Guohai looked lonely and sad.

The colleagues and comrades around him tried their best to provide comfort.

Even Ge Zhiyong and Guo Haitao comforted him for a long time at the farewell banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qiu Guohai solemnly thanked everyone.

He was especially grateful to Qin Feng. Although he had made room for Qin Feng, he was genuinely happy to see such a young man step up step by step.

But as I was so happy, tears started to fall from my eyes.

Sun Quan whispered something in his ear, and he finally managed to control his emotions a little.

Because this meal is both his farewell dinner and Qin Feng's celebration dinner.

In this transition from the old to the new, even if you feel emotional, you have to restrain yourself a little and not make it too ugly.

At the dinner table, Qin Feng took the initiative to toast him, and Qiu Guohai was also very generous, at least it seemed that way.

However, in fact, many people also feel sorry for Qiu Guohai in their hearts.

Before the division was changed into a brigade, Qiu Guohai was the commander of the 402nd Regiment. As a weaker force in the division at that time, he was one of the first to be attacked.

Later, he became the chief of staff of the brigade, and his life finally became better. The wealth of the 33rd Combined Brigade also continued to rise.

But unfortunately, Qin Feng was advancing all the way with great force, and someone had to help him, and Qiu Guohai was destined to be the one who took the initiative to give in.

There was a rumor that the higher-ups wanted Qin Feng to report to the army, but he was rejected.

They didn't know why Qin Feng refused. If it were them, they would definitely not be able to resist such temptation.

After all, after reporting to the military for a while, the next step is to go to the headquarters.

Of course, they only heard this news from hearsay, and its authenticity remains to be verified.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they finished the meal. Qiu Guohai was drunk and staggered as he walked.

Qin Feng took the initiative to take care of him and escort him to his new unit. Of course, someone else drove the car.

Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking. This is the most basic common sense.

After throwing the luggage into the trunk and fastening the seat belt for Qiu Guohai in the back seat, Qin Feng sat in the passenger seat.

"Slow down on the road."

"Bon Voyage."

Ge Zhiyong and the others' faces were also red from drinking. After waving goodbye to the car as it left, they went back to continue drinking.

In the army, there are not many days when people can drink alcohol. Only a small number of people are given special permission to drink alcohol after winning a battle.

That's how it is in the army, people come and go, that's why they say the army may come and go but the camp remains the same.

At the dinner table, Ge Zhiyong picked up his wine glass and said with emotion: "Tell me, if I am transferred, will I cry like Qiu Guohai?"

Guo Haitao sighed, "People are all made of flesh and blood. After being in the same unit for a long time, we all develop feelings for each other. Being transferred is like breaking up or getting divorced. How can we not feel sad? But we definitely won't cry like Lao Qiu did. He even had snot in his wine."

"Hahahaha, did you see that?"

"Why, you saw it too."

"If we meet him again, we'll make fun of him about this."

"What are you two talking about here? There's still a lot of wine in your glasses. Where are you raising fish?"

Lu Chong walked up with a smile on his face, put his arms on the backs of the two of them, and the three of them continued drinking.

The atmosphere at the table did not become depressed because of Qiu Guohai's departure, but became more lively.

Because they have experienced too much of this process, they adjusted their mindset quickly.

Of course, more importantly, everyone knew early on that Qiu Guohai was going to give way to Qin Feng, so they were mentally prepared.

Especially the people in the General Staff. When they were celebrating Qin Feng's appointment as Deputy Chief of Staff, Qiu Guohai had already anticipated his own future, but no one expected that this day would come so soon.

However, after Qin Feng took over the General Staff, he was able to bring other staff officers along with him.

It becomes much more convenient for everyone to follow behind and gain experience and merit.

This is related to their personal development and future, and they are very happy about it.

......

The driver was speeding on the road.

The scenery outside the window changed again and again.

From a bare patch, to a vast field, to the streets of towns and villages, and finally to a lush green area.

The Southwest is very large and covers a wide range, with all kinds of terrain and landforms.

The car drove for more than three hours before arriving at the location of the 746th Reinforced Regiment.

"We're almost there." The soldier driving the car reminded.

"Stop right here."

Qiu Guohai sobered up early and was staring out the window in a daze.

He stopped the driver and said he wanted to get off to smoke a cigarette, calm down, and get rid of the smell of alcohol.

After all, I came to the new place to report on my work. If I went in drunk, what would it look like if others saw me?

Qiu Guohai asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Qin Feng took out a pack from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

He cupped it in his hand and used a lighter to light it for him.

Qiu Guohai didn't mind the dirt, so he just sat on a stone by the roadside and smoked lightly.

He actually has no addiction to smoking, but he likes the feeling of having a cigarette after drinking.

Alcohol can paralyze people's nerves and reduce brain activity. When combined with nicotine, the effect can be doubled.

"From now on, the brigade will depend on you." Qiu Guohai exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Ah."

"How come you were promoted so quickly?"

“I think it’s already very slow.”

"You are too greedy. When I was your age, I was just a..."

Qiu Guohai paused for a moment, as if he hadn't figured out what words to use next.

In the end, he changed the sentence to, When I was your age, I was also a young man with dreams.

"Anyway, congratulations."

"Congratulations, did I squeeze you out?"

"No, this is a heartfelt congratulation. But I'll tell you something in secret: everything I said at the dinner table earlier was fake."

"I see it."

Qiu Guohai stared at him in surprise: "Can you come out?"

Qin Feng hummed: "It's a bit too much."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't want to be transferred."

"What's that like?"

"It's like leaving the army, but more like a farewell to life and death."

"..."

Qiu Guohai simply squatted on the rock, took two deep puffs of his cigarette, and looked a little depressed.

He thought he acted very well, but unexpectedly the young man saw through his mistake at a glance.

It seems that I still need to hone and practice my acting skills.

"I don't like being chief of staff. It requires using your brain and calculating people. It's very annoying."

"Understandable."

"Are you also troubled by this?"

"No, I just want to bring you in."

"Because the division was restructured into a brigade, I couldn't be assigned to this position. I had no choice but to take it. But this job does require talent, and my personality isn't suitable for it."

"So I come to take over your job and give you freedom and liberation."

Qiu Guohai grinned happily. It was indeed comfortable to talk to smart people.

He really feels a lot more relaxed now.

As the Chief of Staff, he was under great pressure, especially during exercises, and he was walking on thin ice, not daring to make any mistakes.

In the past, he was the regiment leader. Now he came to a reinforced regiment to be the leader, which was like returning to his old job, so he was still very excited.

But after all, I am leaving my old employer. If I am too happy, it will make me seem heartless. So I have to cry a little. This is the same as the bride shedding tears at weddings in some places.

Qiu Guohai squatted on the stone and talked with Qin Feng for a long time, from the time when he first joined the army to the highlights of his life.

The whole person was full of energy and excitement, as if he had been rejuvenated.

It was approaching dusk, and the red sunset was slowly setting towards the horizon.

Qiu Guohai stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go. It's time for me to start my new life!"

Qin Feng also stood up: "Come on, I'll let you be the chairman for a while later."

"Hahaha, that couldn't be better."

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

The two men saluted each other.

Qiu Guohai did not let the driver drive in, but carried his luggage and walked alone towards the gate of his new unit in the distance.

He said that he wanted to create a down-to-earth image from the very beginning so that the soldiers under him would like him more.

I have to say that this old comrade is quite good at leading troops.

Qin Feng watched Qiu Guohai walk towards his new journey until his figure disappeared, then he turned around and got into the car.

"Go, go back."

"Should I go back to the hotel, or..."

"Return to the Steel Blade Combined Battalion."

Looking at the vast expanse of fiery clouds outside the window, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and was also ready for a big fight...
