2915 Reasonable
The referee and the military officer had already jogged to every country’s team to count the targets. The participants of the four countries shook hands with each other, indicating that this was a friendly match.
Xia Jinyuan said to Ye Jian, “Stay behind me. There’ll probably be a good show later. You’re a female soldier, so you can cover.”
“Okay.” Ye Jian, who was originally standing fifth in line, took a few steps forward and stood beside Xia Jinyuan without asking for the reason. She was prepared to cover him at any time.
The Chinese team members communicated in low voices and teased Xia Jinyuan, “The captain is amazing. He’s predicting the future again.”
“Of course. If not, why would he become the captain?”
“We’ll wait for Saluk to show his moves. It’ll be difficult for him to make things difficult for our captain.”
“I hope he can stir up trouble. That way, we’ll have a reason to mess with him,” Big Eel interrupted with a smile.
“No, no, no. We need to keep a low profile. We’re not here to be famous. Remember, we’re here to learn humbly and make up for our shortcomings. We can’t cause trouble.”
Seeing that the other groups were talking happily, the vice-captain, Demon King Li, cut off all the voices with his cold voice. “All of you shut up. You’re talking too much and causing trouble.”
His reprimand was reasonable!
Saluk was troublesome because he was talkative.
When Xia Jinyuan and the eight Chinese participants started shaking hands with the SFS border defense soldiers, the atmosphere became tense. The smiles on their faces turned cold.
Ye Jian, who keenly sensed Saluk’s hostility, moved her footsteps slightly and took a few steps closer to Xia Jinyuan.
It looked like the commander of the SFS border defense soldiers was provoking the Chinese soldiers again.
Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled elegantly. “Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, you’re a famous sharpshooter. It looks like your results will be very good this time.”
It was just a friendly competition. Why did they have to make it sound so ugly?
His words were ugly, but the man himself was very uneducated. China had always been open to all kinds of people, and Confucianism had been passed down for a thousand years. They wouldn’t do something like cursing on the streets.
China had always been reserved, even when it came to battle strategies.
For instance, Sun Zi’s Soldier Technique, Taigong’s Soldier Technique, Heaven and Earth Strategy, Hundred Battles Strategy, and Special Soldier Technique were all reserved but domineering.
Xia Jinyuan had been influenced by Grandpa Xia since he was young. He knew that soldiers were extraordinary. They needed to destroy their enemies silently. This time, he and his team had to be mediocre. If he had the ability, he needed to restrain himself. Facing the provocation of Saluk and the SFS border defense soldiers, he wouldn’t directly turn hostile.
He only cared about facts, which was that the other party wanted to embarrass the Chinese.
Just like now, the smile on Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s face disappeared. Lieutenant Colonel Xia maintained a faint smile and spoke to the other party calmly and coldly.
Xia Jinyuan was speaking politely. If the other party was rude, he would be embarrassing himself.
How could Lieutenant Colonel Saluk win against Lieutenant Colonel Xia, who had been in the military since he was young? He didn’t know any of the twists and turns of the competition. He only knew that when he saw the smile on the Chinese commander’s face, he really wanted to punch him.
Lieutenant Colonel Saluk deliberately increased the strength in his hand and said with a fake smile, “In the face of your praise, I really want to be as humble as you Chinese, but I can’t get used to your hypocritical modesty... Thank you for your praise. I think I’ll achieve the best results.”
