396: No matter how capable Xiao Niannian is, she can't be an all-rounder.

Captain Zhang and Captain Qi both considered Lu Jing's words to be excuses.

They believed Lu Jing was abusing his power to protect Xiao Niannian.

"Old Lu, you are excellent, and we all admire you, but Xiao Niannian is not qualified. This is sea training; she needs to learn parachuting, many air force subjects, and also navy subjects..."

"No matter how capable Xiao Niannian is, she can't be an all-rounder. It's impossible for her to know all of these..."

Captain Zhang and Captain Qiao both felt that Xiao Niannian became an instructor because of her connection to Lu Jing. They didn't think of Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian in any other way.

"Old Lu, we all want capable subordinates, but what you're doing is really not acceptable..."

Seeing Captain Zhang and Captain Qiao frowning and looking disapproving, Lu Jing continued to explain.

"I will not abuse my power. Comrade Xiao is indeed capable enough to be qualified for the position of instructor..."

Hearing Lu Jing still say this, Captain Zhang and Captain Qiao snorted coldly.

"Hmph."

"Then we'll wait and see how capable she really is."

"We'll wait and see."

Captain Zhang and Captain Qiao left in a huff.

Xiao Niannian returned to her room. She hadn't heard Lu Jing's conversation with them, but she already knew all of this in her heart.

When she parachuted into the training base and became an instructor for the Special Forces Brigade, even if it was only for a month, no one would believe in her abilities, except for the Comrades-in-arms who had been on missions with her.

But those people were only a minority in the First Team of the Special Forces Brigade, only a few dozen people.

A Special Forces Brigade now has nearly a thousand people. In the original world, a Special Forces Brigade was a brigade-level unit with about three thousand people.

Currently, the elite Team Members from the three teams only number three hundred. Among these three hundred, there are less than a hundred extremely outstanding soldiers.

Although the ordinary Team Members were outstanding in their original Military Units, they were still far behind in the Special Forces Brigade.

Xiao Niannian slept exceptionally well that night.

After washing up in the morning, she heard the sound of the wake-up call.

Xiao Niannian left the dormitory and went to the First Team's area.

"Platoon Leader Xiao."

"Comrade Xiao."

Fang Qiang, He Yong, and others immediately greeted Xiao Niannian warmly when they saw her.

"Platoon Leader Xiao, are you here to run? Join us."

Squad Leader Li also greeted Xiao Niannian with a smile.

If it weren't for Comrade Xiao, he might have stayed in the Reconnaissance Battalion for another year or two and then retired to his hometown. But now he was back in the Special Forces Brigade, and he also had a second-class merit and a third-class merit. The second-class merit was earned when Comrade Xiao led him, and he hadn't expected to capture a Russian team of over thirty people with just two bare-handed individuals.

Every time he thought about it, it felt like a dream.

His heart was filled with gratitude towards Comrade Xiao, Captain Lu, Military Doctor Shen, and others.

Captain Lu found Military Doctor Shen to help him heal his leg injury, Comrade Xiao gave him some very precious medicinal herbs, and Military Doctor Shen gave him acupuncture every day... He kept all these favors in his heart.

"Alright."

Xiao Niannian touched the instructor's armband in her pocket, and the smile on her face grew wider.

Shen Yan stood nearby. For some reason, he always felt that Sister Xiao's smile was a bit strange. It was as if she had some ulterior motive, just like Brother Lu's smile yesterday when he heard Shen Yan badmouthing him.

Could it be that Sister Xiao and Brother Lu were hiding some conspiracy from them?

No, he and Sister Xiao were classmates. Sister Xiao definitely wouldn't help Brother Lu.

Xiao Niannian ran three kilometers with Squad Leader Li and others, and then did some other training.

During the break, Squad Leader Li looked at Xiao Niannian and asked with a smile.

"Platoon Leader Xiao, are you here to train us this time?"

Xiao Niannian raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile.

"Squad Leader Li, you are very smart."

Squad Leader Li thanked her with a smile when he heard Platoon Leader Xiao praise him.

"Thank you, Platoon Leader Xiao."

There had been rumors in the team that a new instructor would come to train them, and many of the contents in this training manual were also written by the new instructor. But days had passed, and no new instructor had appeared.

Then Captain Lu and Military Doctor Shen arrived with Comrade Xiao and Shen Yan.

Classmate Shen Yan was a student at the City Name Military Academy, and his combat effectiveness was just average.

But Comrade Xiao was different. After several missions, he felt that Comrade Xiao's combat effectiveness was no less than Captain Lu's. She was much stronger than Military Doctor Shen and the other soldiers in the team.

Military Doctor Shen had tried several times to persuade Comrade Xiao to become a disciple of Military Doctor Shen's teacher. That was an old doctor who treated the Great Leader, and his leg's treatment plan also came from that old doctor... Not only did he think Comrade Xiao was formidable, but Fang Qiang, Xiao Cui, Company Commander He, and other Comrades-in-arms who had been on missions also believed that Comrade Xiao was very formidable.

Many Team Members in the First Team didn't know Xiao Niannian. Seeing Xiao Niannian training with them, they started discussing.

"Is that a female soldier? Why is she training with us?"

"Fang Qiang and Xiao Cui seem to know her."

"Could it be that our First Team is also getting a Womens Detachment?"

"Hahaha, if there really is a Womens Detachment, that would be great. Just looking at them every day would make one feel much better."

The ordinary Team Members of the First Team were also very puzzled as they ran past.

After breakfast, Xiao Niannian went to the paratrooper training ground.

This training ground was very large, with every detachment training.

Xiao Niannian heard some soldiers discussing, and some questioned whether the current training methods were correct.

"Aren't we here to learn parachuting? Why are we training these things here?"

"We've been doing the same few movements for three or four days. What's the point of this?"

"Keep your voice down. If the captain and detachment leaders hear us, they'll definitely punish us."

Shen Yan looked up while training and saw Xiao Niannian standing not far away. His eyes widened.

"Sister Xiao, come here."

Shen Yan enthusiastically greeted Xiao Niannian, inviting her to train with him.

Shen Yan was currently in the area for ordinary Team Members' training. From yesterday to today, Shen Yan had gotten along very well with his Comrades-in-arms in the team.

"Comrade Shen, is that your sister?"

"Your sister is really beautiful."

"I didn't expect our team to have a female soldier come over."

"Looking at her, she might be very strong in combat."

Hearing his Comrades-in-arms' words, Shen Yan proudly boasted.

"My sister is no ordinary person; she can take on ten of you..."

Hearing Shen Yan's words, some people were displeased.

"Shen Yan, you might be strong, but your sister is a female soldier, one against ten? You must be dreaming, right?"

"You're really exaggerating."

"Look, what's she pulling out of her pocket?"
