Gao Fei composed two songs at noon.
So when the first song ended, everyone was eager to see the second one.
Lu Zheng also watched with anticipation, wanting to see how amazing the second song would be.
"Leaders, please take a look!"
Gao Fei presented the lyrics and music for the second song.
As they read the lyrics, the expressions of the two leaders gradually became solemn.
Slowly, the two were no longer as excited as before, but their expressions carried a hint of sorrow and emotion.
"Did Little Gao write poorly?"
Company Commander Wu, Yao Qiang, and Li Changhuang simultaneously had this question.
But when they stepped forward to look, the three were speechless.
The leaders looked at Gao Fei with complex and surprised eyes...
The four members of the creation group, seeing that the leaders had all fallen silent, without their previous fervor and excitement, were all surprised.
Could the lyrics be bad?
The four of them couldn't help but have the same thought.
Before they could step forward to see, Lu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Little Gao, let's try singing it. Play the accompaniment!"
"Okay!"
The accompaniment began with a symphonic style, as before.
The music score already indicated the required vocal tone, so Regimental Commander Lu took a deep breath and raised his voice.
"What makes us soldiers different? It's just because we wear simple military uniforms.
What makes us soldiers different? Since leaving home, it's hard to see our parents.
To say different, we are actually the same, all with youthful vigor, all young men full of passion.
To say different, we are actually the same, leaving the same footprints for high mountains and long rivers..."
Regimental Commander Lu's singing did not ignite the conference room with the same passion and fervor as before.
Under the catalysis of the singing and lyrics, the soldiers among the crowd, who had risen from the ranks, gradually returned to the time when they first joined the army.
As for the civilian personnel.
Although they were not soldiers who had come up from the recruit training, they could tell that this song was from the perspective of soldiers.
It described every soldier leaving home and entering the army.
"What makes us soldiers different.
For national peace, we tightly grip our guns.
We, soldiers... are just like this!"
The last sentence, with its ups and downs, stretched into a high note at the end.
As the song concluded, Battalion Commander Huang was the first to clap.
"Good!"
He shouted, and applause once again rippled through and outside the conference room.
And those soldiers who had gone from recruits to company members, and then became civilian staff due to injury, had their eyes red and repeatedly shouted "good."
At this moment, only those who had come from the very bottom could relate to this song the most.
The creation quartet in the conference room.
They were genuinely convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
Setting aside how astonishing Gao Fei's creation time was, composing songs in just a few hours.
With the content of these two songs alone, if it were the four of them, they would likely not be able to write such lyrics.
Cao Yuanyuan looked at Gao Fei, who was wearing a training uniform without any military rank, her gaze becoming complex and strange.
"Is he really just a freshman? How could he write such a song!"
Lieutenant Cao found it hard to believe that these were lyrics written by a freshman who had no military experience and had just arrived for military training.
Not only her, but also everyone outside the conference room felt the same.
"Gao Fei truly lives up to his reputation of being on Xinwen Lianbo twice. With just these two songs, I estimate that apart from old military songs, he can completely outperform any military song created now!"
"He has no military experience, yet he can write songs that resonate with all soldiers. Such a person is definitely a genius oddity."
"I can already imagine that in the military song competition half a month from now, these two songs will completely dominate the selection!"
No one doubted Gao Fei's ability anymore, only continuous praise and sighs.
The army is a place where the strong prey on the weak. The stronger you are, the more respect you receive.
Although it was just writing military songs, not a contest of individual combat strength, Gao Fei's brilliance had deeply impressed everyone.
"Alright, the excitement is over. Everyone, return to your posts!"
Battalion Commander Huang dismissed the onlookers, reminding them at the same time to keep the two military songs confidential.
After all, everyone had undergone confidentiality training, and the military songs were related to the military song competition in half a month. Thus, everyone understood their importance.
Moreover, since mobile phones were not allowed during work hours, everyone could only watch, not record.
After the crowd left, the conference room finally quieted down.
At this moment, the creation quartet was left in a corner, while Gao Fei was surrounded by leaders, who were asking him all sorts of questions.
"Little Gao, what inspired you to compose these two songs?"
Battalion Commander Huang was the first to ask the question on everyone's mind.
Gao Fei, with a straight face, replied earnestly, "I've watched military dramas since I was a child and yearned for army life. When I was bored, I would write lyrics. These two songs are also creations from my accumulation since childhood!"
From development to the information age, various military dramas have emerged one after another, and they are a hot genre on all channels.
Therefore, his answer did not arouse suspicion.
As for the real answer, it was that Gao Fei had memorized these two songs by heart during his military training in his previous life.
These were also two songs that everyone in his previous life remembered vividly.
The two songs were titled "Qiang Jun Zhan Ge" (Song of the Strong Army) and "Zan Dang Bing De Ren" (We Soldiers).
In this parallel world, Gao Fei had used them as his own through plagiarism.
After Battalion Commander Huang's question, it was Regimental Commander Lu's turn to ask, "Little Gao, have you come up with names for these two songs?"
"I've already thought of them. The first song is called 'Qiang Jun' (Strong Army), and the second song is called 'Wo Ye Shi Bing' (I am Also a Soldier)."
Hearing these two names, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
They perfectly suited the songs, and there was no need to think of other names.
With the matter of the song titles settled, Regimental Commander Lu asked again, "Little Gao, are both songs suitable for a chorus?"
"They are suitable. If the entire military region were to sing them in a chorus, the scene would be unprecedentedly grand!"
Gao Fei nodded very confidently.
He still remembered that in his previous life, whenever there was a large chorus, "Qiang Jun" was considered the peak of choral performances.
And hearing "Qiang Jun" sung in a chorus always gave him goosebumps and filled him with passion.
After he finished answering, Battalion Commander Huang and Regimental Commander Lu began to discuss in hushed tones privately.
After a moment, Battalion Commander Huang looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time for lunch, and training is about to end.
Old Wu, assemble all the soldiers in your company."
Upon hearing the order, Wu Chenghu knew what the battalion commander intended to do.
He shouted "Yes!" and hurried out of the conference room.
Next, everyone in the conference room, except for Gao Fei, sprang into action.
As for the creation quartet, they had become various errand runners.
At 5:10 PM.
Three military vehicles arrived at the training ground.
One hundred and twenty soldiers from the fifth company, and two hundred and forty freshmen undergoing military training, stood in formation on the training ground, all in neat rows.
The soldiers from the fifth company who had just finished training, and the freshmen who had been put through their paces, were all dripping with sweat, their faces flushed red and sweat dripping down.
When they saw Battalion Commander Huang, Regimental Commander Lu, Company Commander Wu, and others alight from the military vehicles.
The soldiers of the fifth company were very curious. The battalion commander usually didn't appear, so if he suddenly appeared for an assembly, it must be something important.
But looking at the freshmen next to them, they wondered if they were going to instruct the freshmen undergoing military training.
And the freshmen, upon seeing majors and lieutenant colonels, were bewildered. In the army, the highest rank they had seen was company commander, a captain.
Now, with so many high-ranking leaders suddenly appearing, were they going to address them?
The freshmen and the soldiers of the fifth company were all speculating.
However, when they saw a young man in a training uniform without any military rank alight from the military vehicle, the soldiers of the fifth company were stunned.
How did such a strange person appear in the group of big leaders!
The soldiers of the fifth company looked closely and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that the freshman who's training us? Why is he walking with the battalion commander and the others!"
And in the freshmen formation, seeing Gao Fei walking alongside the colonels and majors, everyone was astonished.
In just one day, the top scholar Gao had reached the point of walking shoulder-to-shoulder with the battalion commander!
At this moment, Gao Fei undoubtedly became the focal point of all the soldiers and freshmen on the training ground.
What was even more outrageous was that Gao Fei, a person without military status or rank, was actually directing four lieutenants in their tasks.
He had them move speakers and lay out wires and so on.
And the four lieutenants, without any complaints, were even chatting and laughing with him!
At this moment, all the soldiers in the fifth company harbored the same suspicion.
Could this freshman be the son of some high-ranking leader, that he dared to command lieutenants!
The freshmen from Peking University had a different suspicion.
Had Gao Fei done something earth-shattering again, to be able to command others, and even those at the lieutenant level.
Just as everyone was guessing, each person received a sheet of lyrics.
Above the title were two large characters: "Qiang Jun."
The speakers and microphones were connected. Battalion Commander Huang cleared his throat and shouted, "At ease, attention!"
*Crack!*
The sound of three hundred and sixty people snapping to attention was very loud.
"The lyrics you are holding now are newly composed military songs for the military region. Next, Regimental Commander Lu will lead everyone in practicing.
Furthermore, if your chorus is good, it will be recorded and sent to headquarters for the selection of new military songs.
I hope you will put in the same effort you do in training. Do you hear me!"
"Yes!"
After the speech, Lu Zheng began to lead everyone in practicing the new military songs.
"Listen to the clarion call of the new Long March sounding, the goal of a strong army beckons ahead..."
As the first line was sung, everyone joined in a clear chorus.
The lyrics of "Qiang Jun" were simple and easy to remember, so Regimental Commander Lu first led the soldiers in singing a cappella. Once everyone was familiar with the lyrics, he began to play the accompaniment for a choral performance.
After three repetitions, the accompaniment sounded on the training ground, and the grand chorus began.
...
The entrance to the military region.
A military vehicle with the license plate "01" slowly drove into the military region.
As the military vehicle approached the training ground, the earth-shattering lyrics reached the vehicle one after another.
"This military song, I haven't heard it before. Did Little Cao and the others compose it?"
A middle-aged man in his fifties, with stars on his shoulders, showed a surprised look upon hearing the chorus from the training ground.
The Chief of Staff also replied, "It should be the song composed by Lieutenant Cao and the others. Before the Commander left for the meeting, they had just finished composing the song!"
"Drive to the training ground!"
"Yes!"
The driver changed direction and drove towards the training ground.
Listening to the intermittent chorus, Yang Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction, but then frowned, feeling as if something was missing from the chorus.
At the same time, on the training ground.
Battalion Commander Huang also frowned while listening to the chorus below. He looked at the original creator, Gao Fei, beside him and asked, "Little Gao, as the original creator, do you feel that something is missing from this chorus?"
