Chapter 1737: Their Faith

The wind in the Gobi Desert was different from the wind in the mountains, plains, and grasslands. When it blew, it felt like there was a barrier that couldn’t be touched or seen. If one walked with vigor, it seemed like they would hit the barrier and bounce back.

Even though the wind was strong, it did not blow away the snow. The wind carried large amounts of snowflakes and blew over, affecting the entire army.

The major general in the command center heard the howling of the wind outside. He stood up and walked out of the tent.

There were two sentinels standing guard outside the tent. When they saw the major general coming out, they immediately saluted. Their military boots hit the ground, and pieces of crystal clear ice fell from their heels.

After a few hours of standing guard, even their eyelashes were covered with a layer of white fluffy snow, not to mention their bodies. There was a pile of snow that was as deep as a pinky finger on their shoulders.

The major general of the army glanced at the two sentinels and patted the snow off their shoulders. He then walked away without saying a word.

“Old Dong.” He walked over to the commander-in-chief of the navy who had come out three to five minutes earlier than him. They stood side by side and looked into the distance. “They’ve already made their move. Let’s see if they can take down the hills within two hours.”

The commander-in-chief of the navy was still holding an infrared telescope in his hand. Before the heavy snowfall, he could still see into the distance clearly. Now even with the infrared telescope, it was useless.

He looked at the major general who was standing with him and then looked at the weather. He said worriedly, “The weather is terrible. I’m worried about them.”

Since the formation of Storm Commando, they had never gone to the Gobi Desert for training. Now that it was snowing heavily, the members of the southern troops were probably not used to it.

The major general could understand what he was feeling, but this was a necessary measure. “Our special forces are aiming for ‘amphibious’, and after nearly five years of hard work, we’ve basically achieved it. Old Dong, Storm Commando has only been established for a little over a year. There’s more than just one or two obstacles to overcome. There are even more difficult peaks ahead waiting for you to conquer.

“It’s normal to be worried. No one wants any accidents to happen. However, Old Dong, we all need to be mentally prepared. There will be casualties if we arrange such training.”

This was a warning to the commander-in-chief of the navy. Since the establishment of the Xueyu unit, there had been accidents in training. Even though this was a special forces unit, there were still casualties.

Storm Commando still lacked experience. If any accident happened, it would be within the normal casualty rate.

The commander-in-chief’s voice was low and hoarse. These are things that must be done and paths that must be taken. As a soldier, they have no choice.

They were his soldiers. All of them were unyielding men with a common belief and goal. They could live and die for this belief.

He didn’t want any accidents to happen to any of them. It wouldn’t be a small accident for them. It would be a life and death accident.

The commander-in-chief raised his hand and patted the snow on his shoulder.. In the snow and wind, he sighed softly.
