3032 Pride Commander Xia thought about this and decided to ask after the two soldiers returned to the country. If possible, it wouldn’t be too late to arrange a meal tonight. Ye Jian didn’t know that in order to look for her, her father had specially called Commander Xia to ask him. It was 7 am local time in Estonia. Ye Jian, who didn’t abide by her biological clock, opened her eyes. After sleeping for a few hours, she wasn’t so tired anymore. However, her body felt as if it had been crushed by a car. Her entire body was sore. After taking a hot shower, she felt much better. Ye Jian didn’t know if her other comrades had woken up. She didn’t feel sleepy, so she wore the military uniform that she kept in her luggage. She sat in front of her desk and flipped through the books on the geography of Estonia. After reading a few pages, her empty stomach reminded her that she needed to eat. Putting down the book, Ye Jian tidied her military uniform before pulling the door open. The other team members hadn’t woken up. Xia Jinyuan and Li Jinnian, who only slept at around four in the morning, hadn’t woken up either. The two of them were still sleeping soundly. The staff of the embassy had already woken up. The guards in the embassy had finished their morning exercise and were preparing to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. The working hours here were different from in China, where the official working hours started at 10 am. However, the staff of the embassy, including Ambassador Qin Dingkang, would go to work before 9 am according to the working hours of the domestic government. Ye Jian, who stayed on the second floor, went downstairs and asked the guard where the cafeteria was. The guard immediately told Ye Jian that she could have a meal with the guards who had finished their morning exercise. He also contacted his comrades through the intercom and asked them to wait for Ye Jian. They were all soldiers and had many common topics to talk about. Ye Jian, who caught up with the guards, chatted with the four guards after a while. The atmosphere was harmonious. There was no sense of unfamiliarity or distance. “I’ve been here for two years. I knew about the Eka Assault competition. After understanding it, I knew that China had never been invited. At that time, I was quite disappointed. A few days ago, when I knew that China was invited to participate in the competition, I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep that night. Our squad leader told us last night that the special forces soldiers sent by our country had achieved good results. Our entire squad was so happy that we felt like we were the ones participating in the competition. I even saw my squad leader turn his back and secretly wipe his tears.” A very young soldier who had been working at the Chinese embassy in Estonia for two years was very happy to talk to Ye Jian. One could tell from his energetic expression that he was proud that the Chinese soldiers could participate in the EIka Assault competition and achieve good results. Although they weren’t the ones participating in the competition, they felt proud and excited when they saw their country’s soldiers achieve good results for their country. Now that this soldier was talking about it again, his eyes turned red. Another soldier said, “Don’t cry. The last batch of veterans who’ve already gone back said that the first batch of veterans who came to guard the area were provoked by the local soldiers. Even after returning to the country, they still had frustrations pent up within them.” That was a long time ago. It was when the embassy was established. The first batch of soldiers who came with the embassy staff had some conflicts with the local soldiers. The cause was very simple. The local soldiers looked down on the Chinese soldiers and deliberately provoked them. Their words were disrespectful.
