Gu Yiye and Sorghum's troops returned from border battles, because they made great contributions in the battle, so Gu Yiye became a combat hero, Sorghum became a first-class meritorious hero, and Jiang Nanzheng also made a second-class meritorious service because of his outstanding performance.
Anyone who has been a soldier knows that if you have a second-class merit or above in the army, you can guarantee that you will be sent to a military academy for further study, and you will be an officer after graduation. So the plot developed here, the first half is considered to be the end of the curtain, and the back should be the military school life of several protagonists.
From the mouth of the company commander Qin Hanyong, it was learned that because the ninth company suffered the most sacrifices in this battle, it was given four places in the military academy.
Needless to say, the combat hero is an honorary title, more expensive than the first class merit, so Gu Yiye did not have to say it when he went to the military academy; First Class Meritorious Sorghum also has a quota; Then there was the company commander Qin Hanyong, who told him to go to the military academy for a crash course and return as a battalion commander. In this case, the three of them have three places, so who is the other place? It is not difficult to think that it must be a full warehouse of cattle.
First, the bull full of good villains is a supporting role with more drama, and you can't always give this quota to a dragon set role that does not have any role.
Second, after returning to the troops after the battle, the division commander came to the Ninth Company and publicly praised Gu Yiye, Sorghum, and Niu Mancang, and Gu Yiye and Sorghum had all made meritorious contributions, and there was no reason why Niu Mancang did not make meritorious contributions. If the cattle were full of warehouses and did not make meritorious achievements, why did the division commander praise him?
Third, from the mouth of Sorghum, we know that his life was saved by Niu Mancang, which is even more indicative of Niu Mancang's meritorious service. Sorghum is a first-class merit, it is reasonable to say that the merit of the cattle full of warehouses is not below the sorghum, it should also be a first-class work, and even if it is not good, it is also a second-class merit, and it cannot be a third-class merit anyway.
Therefore, the fourth place in the military academy is full of cattle. However, the plot that happens later is quite unreasonable, and it feels like the director and screenwriter are completely taking the scene for granted, why?
Qin Hanyong told Sorghum that one of the four military academy places in the Ninth Company should be given to other companies, so between him and Gu Yiye, only one person could go to the military academy.
First, Gu Yiye and Sorghum, one is a combat hero and the other is a first-class meritorious hero, is it possible that such a large military school cannot recruit one more cadet? You want to say that sorghum is a second-class or third-class skill, even if it is stuck on the threshold edge, the first-class merit is also squeezed down, I am afraid that in the real army, I believe the leader will also open the back door for sorghum.
Second, why abandon one between Gu Yiye and Sorghum? Gu Yiye is a combat hero, and going to military school is a matter of certainty. Why not choose between sorghum and cattle full? Or rather, choose between Sorghum and Qin Hanyong?
Third, through the trailer, it was learned that Sorghum also went to military school. After taking so much effort, letting Sorghum go to military school, not letting him go, and finally letting him go, I wanted to ask, what is the purpose of the director's shooting, and what is he trying to express?
Many netizens are curious about how Sorghum later went to military school. I speculate that it is likely that Niu Mancang gave up his place to Sorghum, because when Sorghum talked to Qin Hanyong, the camera gave Niu Mancang many times, feeling that something was going to happen.
In addition, Niu Mancang was psychologically traumatized because of his participation in the war and may not be suitable for serving in the army, so he gave up his place to Sorghum and chose to retire. At the end of the film, we look at Gu Yiye, Sorghum, Jiangnan Zheng, and Han Banchang, who will become officers in the future, but there is no niu full of warehouses, indicating that he may really retire from the army.
