Chapter 84: Selecting Female Soldiers

Liu Zhi had lunch with us. After I discussed the interview time with him, he arranged the rest. Gao Tian and I went back to the hotel for a while to take a nap.

After getting up, we didn't ask the armed forces to send a car to pick him up. We changed into military uniforms, went downstairs and got a "three-wheeled person" and came to the armed forces. Before we got off the car, I was stunned by the scene. At least hundreds of people were at the armed forces, most of them were girls who were recruited, and a small number were parents who accompanied him. In other words, among the more than 200 young people who were recruiting this year, a small half were girls who went for the two places. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Gao Tian looked around, and while looking, he said to me:

"Company Commander Lu, I didn't expect that there are so many beauties in such a small place in your P County? Beauties appear in Wu and Yue, and this is indeed true..."

I smiled and knocked his head, saying:

"Pay attention to your image. You are the interviewer now, not the gangster who is watching on the street..."

Gao Tian shrank his head, showed his signature and honest smile, and followed me into the armed forces without squinting.

Liu Kehua had been waiting there for a long time, so I hurried over and said:

"Minister Liu, why are there so many people? Am I late?"

Liu Kehua smiled and said, "No, Company Commander Lu, you are very on time. These girls have come too early! How about it, let's start?"

I nodded and said:

"Today, you and me, and Gao Tian and the other three will be interviewed! The outside work will be troubled by the comrades in the armed forces!"

Liu Kehua said: "No problem, we are all ready!"

After saying that, he led us into an office. There was a stack of files on the table. Needless to say, the information of these girls was just about to pick it up and flip it. At this time, an officer from the armed forces came in and Liu Kehua said to him:

"Get started, let them come in in order!"

The first girl came in. She looked pretty and pretty, but her skin was a little dark, she had two big braids and was dressed relatively simple, I said:

"You can introduce yourself first!"

The girl glanced at us and said timidly:

"My name is Liu Tianjiao, I am 18 years old this year..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, I shook my head secretly. The accent in Mandarin was too heavy. Although I, a native of P County, sounded very friendly, we recruited art soldiers this time. If the Mandarin is not good, it would be impossible to recruit her unless we have other specialties.

When she finished introducing herself, I continued to ask:

"Well, do you have any literary and artistic expertise? For example, those who play the sing and sing."

Liu Tianjiao shook her head blankly. I flipped through her files and was actually in the same town as me. I sighed in my heart and said:

"Okay, you can go out."

Liu Tianjiao suddenly asked:

"Then... can I join the army?"

Liu Kehua and I looked at each other, and Liu Kehua said:

"If we choose this, our armed forces will come to your house to notify you. Just wait when you go home!"

Liu Tianjiao nodded. The smart girl seemed to know that she had no hope. She showed a look of disappointment on her face and slowly walked out.

Taking advantage of the gap, I said to Liu Kehua:

"Minister Liu, Secretary Lin's niece is here too, right? Didn't you say that her piano has passed the tenth level? Could it be that she will bring a piano in to show her talents later?"

Liu Kehua laughed and said, "You don't have to play the piano. That child is versatile. I believe you will be satisfied."

How could this sound ambiguous? Before I could even dig deeper, the second girl walked in and we immediately sat upright and started to ask questions in a stylized way. The girls in the interview came and went like a revolving lantern, and I was not deeply impressed.

Before I came, I had set standards in my mind: First, we should be able to be good at looking, after all, we are recruiting art soldiers, and it is inappropriate to be straitors and breaking the jujubes. Second, we should be flexible in mind. After they arrive in the army, they must learn a lot of things, and stupid in mind are inappropriate. Third, and most importantly, they must have certain literary and artistic expertise, so that they can be trained quickly after they arrive in the army and start working quickly.

After comparing these three standards, there are not many people who meet the requirements, and there are too many candidates. We all feel aesthetic fatigue. Even Gao Tian's eyes turned from emitting light at the beginning to drowsy.

In winter, P County has started to get a little cold. It is a mountainous area, and the average temperature is several degrees lower than Fuzhou. I just sent a girl who claimed to be good at singing but almost let us go wild with a mouth. I stomped my feet hard, and sighed in my heart that it was really difficult to choose two people!

Gao Tian almost didn't say anything since he came in, but the lantern seemed to be enough to get tired of him. He stood up and stretched. At this moment, the door was pushed open and the next interviewer came in.

What a pure girl! She is wearing a goose yellow down jacket, with a pair of water-milled blue jeans on the bottom, about 1.65 meters tall, and the jeans set off her slender legs. The girl has long hair in a shawl, a standard melon-shaped face, crystal clear skin, a pair of bright big eyes with a high nose bridge, and a bright cherry mouth is bright red, but I am sure this girl did not use lipstick, and she has a natural beauty all over her body.

Gao Tian was stretching, and his stretching movements were frozen. Looking at the girl, she couldn't speak for a long time. Liu Kehua's eyes lit up and came over and said softly to me:

"Company Commander Lu, this is Lin Qian, it's not bad!"

I have seen many beauties at least, and I have good immunity. I nodded slightly, coughed dryly, and woke up the absent-minded Gao Tian. He smiled awkwardly and sat down.

I looked at Lin Qian and said:

"You can introduce yourself first!"

Lin Qian said lightly: "My name is Lin Qian, from P County, I graduated from high school this year..."

Her voice was very stable, but it seemed to have no emotion at all. However, the Mandarin was still in full standard. After she introduced herself, I continued to ask:

"Why did you choose the military route? I want to hear your true thoughts!"

Regarding this question, many of the girls' answers before were the same, such as "If you don't like red makeup, you should be armed", and "Who is not as good as men"... After going over and over again, these few sentences are just a few words.

Lin Qian thought about it and said lightly:

"Because my uncle asked me to join the army."

The uncle she mentioned must be Secretary Lin, I asked with interest:

"What about your own ideas? We recruit soldiers based on the principle of personal voluntary."

Lin Qian said without thinking:

"My volunteer is to take the art academy and become a real artist, rather than rushing in the army..."

Liu Kehua looked at me a little awkwardly, but I didn't care, and then asked:

"You know that we are recruiting art soldiers this time, and the competition is so fierce. Are you not afraid of losing the election by saying that?"

Lin Qian said:

"I'll come if my uncle asked me to come. As for whether I can choose it, that's another matter!"

I couldn't help but get a little angry when I heard this, but I quickly adjusted the expression on my face and asked:

"You said your ideal is to become an artist. Does this ideal require you to take the Art Academy to achieve it? I have also heard about your situation. You play the piano well, your singing and dancing well, and you can also know a few other instruments."

Lin Qian was a little surprised, looked up at me, I smiled, and then said:

"If you like singing, you should know the names of Li Shuangjiang, Peng Liyuan, and Song Zuying?"

Lin Qian nodded silently, and I continued to ask:

"Do you know what they have in common?"

Lin Qian was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "They are all soldiers!"

I nodded with satisfaction and then asked:

"Do you know the PLA Art Academy? How many excellent artists have been trained in this PLA's literary and artistic hall? She is definitely no worse than any art academy in the local area!"

If Liu Kehua hadn't said that this girl was quite talented, I wouldn't have bothered to say so much, but if she was really as Liu Kehua said, it would be a pity if I didn't convince her and recruit her into the army.

Lin Qian raised her head, her eyes obviously became much more angry than before, and I continued:

"This time, our division's cultural team recruits female soldiers. Almost every year, the soldiers of our cultural team are admitted to the military arts through their own efforts. You are a smart girl. If there are too many, I won't say anything. If you still think that being a soldier is just a task given to you by your family, you can leave. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do. If you feel that you really want to join the army, use your performance to convince me!"

After saying that, I looked at Lin Qian quietly. She lowered her head while I was gaze. After a while, she raised her head and said firmly:

"Chief, I didn't bring any musical instruments, just sing a song "Night in the Military Harbor"!"

Liu Kehua and I looked at each other, and I saw a smile in his eyes. I turned my head and nodded slightly.

Lin Qian stood up, brewed for a moment, then gently opened her red lips and started singing:

"The night in the military port is quiet, the waves shaking the warship gently, the young sailor rests on the waves, and his sweet smile appears in his sleep..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, I felt that this girl was extraordinary. She was completely different from some of the girls in front of her. She was obviously trained in professional vocal music, but there was no trace of axe in her voice, like a clear mountain spring, the wonderful sound spreading in this small room. I seemed to be in the military port under the moonlight, and the waves were gently shaking the warships...

At the end of the song, Lin Qian sat down with a reserved look. The three of us couldn't help but clapped. After half an afternoon passed, we finally saw an excellent future female soldier.

I smiled and said to Lin Qian:

"Very good! You are completely qualified! But have you figured out the matter of being a soldier? I don't want you to regret it when you get to the army. No matter what job you do in the army, you are a soldier and you have to be bound by discipline. This is completely different from the local area, so you have to think clearly."

Lin Qian said firmly: "The chief's words have benefited me a lot, and I have thought it through!"

I nodded and said, "Yes! Then go back and wait for the notification!"

Lin Qian stood up and bowed to me, saying, "Thank you, Chief, for your guidance just now!"

Then he turned around and walked out of our room quickly.

Liu Kehua and I looked at each other. This girl was really unpredictable. Liu Kehua asked:

"Company Commander Lu, how about it? I didn't exaggerate it, right? Lin Qian has been very outstanding since she was a child, except for her poor academic performance. Haha."

I nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's a good seedling! By the way, Minister Liu, who are the two people who greeted you, the head of the military sub-district?"

Liu Kehua said:

"One has come in just now. Seeing that you are not very satisfied, I didn't say that there is another one that has not come in. You won't be..."
To be continued...
