Chapter 434: She’s A Soldier Like This!

After receiving the results, Commander Liu said to Commissar Yan, “Whichever battalion this girl goes to, that battalion’s standard would soar like a plane. Her results for the past ten days had almost reached the standards of a soldier who had trained for half a year.”

“Friday night happens to be a night drive. How about this? Get her a co-driver and let her try it.” Night driving was also a training course that had to be completed by every motorized infantry soldier.

“Driving on a mountain road?” Commissar Yan’s face became grave and he was silent for a while before shaking his head gently, “No, driving on the mountain roads is too unpredictable and risky. There are too many winding roads with 180-degree turns with no railings by the side, and you need to maintain a certain difference with the car in front. Old Liu, I don’t approve of her driving on the mountain roads.”

After all, it had only been ten days. Practice makes perfect. Practicing several times on the training ground and completing a series of actions under the instructor’s commands was the first safety net.

But the mountain roads were different. It’s all about the experience. Guts alone would not suffice.

“Night driving is not recommended for the inexperienced…” Commander Liu sighed softly and replied after a bit of silence, “You’re right. She does lack experience. I’ll take a look again and see how she performs for these two weeks. If she performs well, we could let her try before she goes to the capital city. She needs to try or she wouldn’t be confident about it.”

“The leader’s schedule will be out soon. Once there is night driving involved, Ye Jian will need to pass the night driving training or we wouldn’t be able to assign her as the leader’s bodyguard.”

In the end, Commissar Yan agreed with Commander Liu’s concern. “Okay, we’ll let her try it before we go to the capital city.”

Ye Jian didn’t know that she had been a frequent topic in the discussions between the commander and commissar. She didn’t know that Commissar Yan was hesitating on whether to speak to her several times too.

Until the Friday of the third week, Ye Jian didn’t know that she might need to undergo night driving. In the training ground, she started the car, shifted gears, accelerated, steered… She completed all these movements fluidly like flowing water. There was not a trace of unfamiliarity.

“There are bumpy roads, a unilateral bridge and a bilateral bridge ahead. Ye Jian, maintain your speed and pass quickly!” The instructor’s cold voice rang loudly in the earpiece, instructing her to complete the training test.

She went forward, did a turn, and passed the bridges, all while maintaining her speed. She drove the car like she was walking, passing everything smoothly.

Commissar Yan looked at the jeep moving around the training ground. It seemed as though it was operated by a veteran who had finished every training course there was. Only one veteran was better than her… by twenty seconds.

“Are there any more training after this?” He walked over to Ye Jian’s instructor and said softly, “It’s already 4 pm in the afternoon. She needs to go back for her evening study session.”

The instructor flipped through the training schedule and replied, “There’s a training course that started last night. Crossing the unilateral bridge with two wheels.” The two wheels meant that the car would be moving forward only with wheels on one side, completing a drift.

“Okay, let her rest for a while after this is done. I just saw her taking some bandages from the public health center. It should be for blisters on her palm.”

“Yes, from Friday to Sunday, she had been training till 1 am, before being on time at 6 am the next day… The little girl’s skin is tender, and these two days of training required her to turn the steering wheel quickly… That’s how she got blisters.”

The instructor’s explanation was not completely right. There were blisters not only on her palms but on her fingers too. The blisters had formed a line.
