Chapter 318: Making a Name for Himself
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Hello, comrade Wang Ye. I’m Wang Xiao Fei from the division’s publicity department.”
On the track, while Wang Ye was still panting, a reporter ran over.
And there was more than one.
They had people watching the situation in the military tent and if there was any news worth interviewing, they would be notified immediately.
At this moment, the reporters from the division headquarters, regiment headquarters, and even the military headquarters were here.
“Wang Ye, I’m a reporter from the military headquarters, Yu Zhi Yi!” Another female reporter greeted Wang Ye with a smile.
The last one was the two old men that Wang Ye was already very familiar with.
It was the two beautiful reporters from the Iron Bones Heroes Regiment and they were blocking Wang Ye’s way with their cameramen. They wanted to get closer with their microphones and cameras.
However, in the next second, they were held back by Wu Jian Feng, who had just recovered from his anger.
Why are they causing trouble? They are reporters for the same regiment so they could conduct the interview anytime.
This was definitely not about promoting the spirit of ladies first, nor was it about being lustful.
Wu Jian Feng was already in a heated relationship with someone else. The two female reporters in front of him were very beautiful, he did not dare to guarantee that he did not have any improper thoughts.
“Hehe…Good!,‘
Wang Ye panted heavily and tried his best to calm his breathing before agreeing.
It was the first time he had seen the two female reporters in the army, but he had seen the one in the division headquarters when he returned from the flood last time and was interviewed by her.
However, at this moment, after the second battalion commander helped Wang Ye take off his backpack, he looked at the reporters and said, “Let’s step outside the track first. There will be other soldiers coming here later. Let’s not block the way!”
Wang Ye had finished running, but that didn’t mean that the others on the track had finished running.
The two of them helped Wang Ye to the roadside even though Wang Ye did not did any help.
Nearby, Wu Jian Feng was still panting a little. He was still following the reporter from the regiment headquarters, asking her to help share some of his weight.
He needed to rest.
Actually, he had wanted to give Wang Ye a big hug just now, but the second battalion commander and Kang Hua didn’t care about him. Now that the reporters were facing the camera, he was too embarrassed to hug him.
Therefore, he could only suppress the excitement in his heart and stand at the side, ready to help Wang Ye with the questions in the interview at any time.
“Comrade Wang Ye, first of all, congratulations on breaking our division’s five-kilometer record!”
At the side of the track, Wang Xiao Fei raised the topic and said with a smile.
“Thank you!” Wang Ye was still panting a little. He had just finished five kilometers, so he couldn’t recover so quickly. However, now that his backpack had been taken off, even a lot of his equipment had been taken off by Kang Hua.
His entire body relaxed, and his condition immediately improved a lot.
“Comrade Wang Ye, as far as I know, although you’re a first-class soldier now, you were actually promoted in advance because of your contributions.”
“In other words, you’ve only been in the army for less than a year.”
“Can I ask, how did you train your physical fitness to be so good in less than a year?”
Of the two reporters, the one from the division asked first.
The Military Department was still standing at the side. It seemed like they were prepared to take turns asking him question.
“This… First of all, I would like to thank my recruit squad leader, Ye San Shi. He was the one who supervised me during the period of my recruit company…” After trying his best to calm his breathing, Wang Ye began to answer with a smile.
From thanking Ye San Shi to thanking Kang Hua and Wu Jian Feng, who looked even more tired than Wang Ye, but when Wang Ye said his name, he immediately straightened his back and let go of the reporter’s hand. Wu Jian Feng didn’t look like he was out of breath or his legs were shaking.
By the end, Wang Ye thanked the squad leader of the fourth company, the platoon leader, and even the battalion commander. Wang Ye gave full play to his flawless attitude, just like those celebrities on television who had all kinds of gratitude after winning an award.
“Actually, my Battalion Commander has helped me a lot. Many times when I was training, he would personally come over to tell us about his training experience and urge us to train…”
Wang Ye’s words made the second battalion commander a little embarrassed.
“Hehe, actually, what Wang Ye said was a little too exaggerated. 1 didn’t help him as much as he thought!” The second battalion commander took the initiative to explain in embarrassment.
“Hehe, comrade Wang Ye seems to be really loved by the leaders and veterans at all levels.”
Wang Xiao Fei looked at Wang Ye and smiled playfully, “But it’s understandable. After all, comrade Wang Ye, you’re known as the most awesome recruit in our army in recent years!”
Wang Xiao Fei smiled.
She naturally didn’t believe Wang Ye’s words. It was reasonable to say that the squad leader and platoon leader were the company commander, but it was too ridiculous for a battalion commander to supervise their training every day.
She wasn’t an outside reporter who didn’t know anything about the military camp.
However, an interview was a matter of choosing the nicest words to say. After saying that, she would go back and sort it out. Wang Ye’s words definitely wouldn’t be announced in full.
“Actually, I think that there’s always someone better than you. I never dared to admit it or think about it.” Wang Ye was still very humble when it came to her words.
Putting aside whether this was true or not, even if it was true, if Wang Ye admitted it openly, then when the news was reported, Wang Ye would definitely leave an arrogant impression on others.
When he was young, his teacher at school had said that modesty was a virtue, and Wang Ye had always remembered it.
“Comrade Wang Ye, before you joined the army, did you often train?” At this moment, the military reporter asked with a smile.
As expected, each of them asked a question.
Of course, the regimental commander didn’t count. He didn’t even make it up.
“Yes, I have…”
Wang Ye wasn’t lying. More than a month before he joined the army, he had started to go to the gym to train ever since he was reincarnated and confirmed that he wanted to join the army.
Anyway, the reporters didn’t say what the time limit was for the regular exercise.
He just pretended to say it casually.
This way, he could also give his current results to others so that they would not find it difficult to accept.
One question after another, Wang Ye’s interview only ended after about seven to eight minutes.
By this time, the other 29 people had already finished their five-kilometer cross-country run.
Of course, their results were definitely not comparable to Wang Ye’s.
The fastest one was only 18 minutes and 14 seconds.
However, it was worth mentioning that all four companies were within 19 minutes, and if they were to be counted as the top ten based on the results of their current team of 30 people.
Wang Ye was first, and the other nine places were occupied by seven of the fourth company.
When Wang Ye’s interview ended and the three officers compared their results with everyone, the soldiers of the cannon company and the heavy machine gun company couldn’t even raise their heads.
The gap between each stage was getting bigger and bigger.
Even the previous segment just now wasn’t so bad. Now that the results were out, the soldiers of the cannon company and the heavy machine gun were actually shaken.
Would they really have to run all the way back?
“Now, we will begin broadcasting the results of the various events in the morning!”
At around 11:40 am, after the two competitions in the morning had ended, some sounds began to appear from the speakers on the arena.
It was a very pleasant female voice. Just her voice alone made some of the soldiers from the deep mountains and forests feel refreshed.
“First of all, let’s congratulate the first-class soldier from the fourth company of the second battalion of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, comrade Wang Ye, for breaking our division’s previous record in the armed cross-country five-kilometer event. With a result of 16 minutes and 58 seconds, he has become the new record holder of our division’s armed cross-country five-kilometer event.”
The sound from the loudspeaker had just made the people of the Fourth Company, who were still resting on the side of the track and waiting for food, restless.
“Old Wang, they are talking about you, talking to you!”
“You’re famous now. Old Wang, Bull Wang, you’re too amazing!”
“Bah, don’t randomly give nicknames. What Bull Wang? It sounds so bad” Wang Ye complained to his comrades.
They can praise him but don’t give him such a nickname!
Bull Wang…
“Haha! It’s indeed very impressive. Wang Ye, you can be considered to have truly become famous in the entire division today. No, you will become famous in the entire army.” Wu Jian Feng laughed.
He wasn’t lying. The reporters from the division headquarters and the army were here.
After the event, there would definitely be reports of Wang Ye’s record breaking results.
At this moment, the Fourth Company was excited. At the same time, the soldiers from the other divisions and companies were also shocked.
“What did this Wang Ye eat when he was growing up? 16 minutes and 58 seconds? 1 can’t even finish those five kilometers in 18 minutes and 58 seconds!”
“Breaking the record, how brutal! However, was Wang Ye the Wang Ye who had achieved second-class merit that had been reported before?”
“I remember that he was a new recruit this year. Why is he a first-class soldier now?”
“He probably got promoted in advance because of his meritorious service, but that’s nothing. The most ridiculous thing is his results. 1 feel like I’m about to die after running for 20 minutes.”
“Actually, can I say that this guy’s most insane skill is actually the 400-meter obstacle course?”
“He broke the record of our regiment when he was in the recruit company!” At the grenade throwing competition area, there were warriors from the Iron Bones Hero Regiment who happened to be in the same team as the other teams.
Hearing their comments, the warrior could not help but say this leisurely.
Immediately, the warriors from the other teams who were still sighing in admiration were instantly stunned.
At this moment, many people seemed to have recalled that when they read the newspapers in the past, they had mentioned that Wang Ye, this recruit, seemed to have broken the 400-meter obstacle record in the recruit company.
In an instant, these people were speechless.
This was a really ruthless person. It seemed like he would break the record more than once. He might do it again in the 400-meter obstacle.
Scary…
