Chapter 16: Rectify!
Liu Guoping recounted the history of the Wolf Brigade in detail, and the recruits were gradually shocked.
Xu Ge stood in the team and had no idea about the military merits and honors, but when Liu Guoping read out the number of martyrs, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
"Comrades, do you think I'm going to lead you in shouting slogans and spouting some big words about how proud we are of the Wolf Brigade?"
Huang Jiabo smiled and shook his head. "I don't like empty talk. Today, I want to talk to you about what it means to have no regrets in your youth!"
Xu Ge's gaze involuntarily turned to the eight large characters on the dormitory building that gleamed in the moonlight:
Guard the border and defend the country, no regrets in youth.
"Your youth has just begun. No matter what your reason for choosing to join the army, it is a great decision!"
Huang Jiabo's voice became sentimental. "Youth is precious and fleeting, and the more so, the more you must not waste it! Perhaps you can't understand it now, but I can guarantee that when you look back on your military service, you won't regret it!"
"Comrades, do you know how many soldiers we have in China? Over two million people's soldiers!"
"And in this world, there is no other country like ours where the relationship between the military and the people is so close!"
"How close is it? Let me give you an example. If an ordinary person dies, the only ones who will be sad and heartbroken are his family and friends.
But no matter who you were before, once you put on this military uniform and sacrifice your life, it would be like stabbing a knife into the hearts of 1.4 billion compatriots!
As expected of an instructor who specializes in ideological education, Huang Jiabo's few casual words clearly aroused the emotions of the recruits. They straightened their backs unconsciously and felt a sense of pride.
Even Xu Ge, who had been reborn, felt a heightened sense of identification with the army after hearing these words.
"It's tough here in the northwest. There are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of uninhabited areas. Let alone trees, there's not even a blade of grass in some places."
Huang Jiabo changed the subject and continued, "But people have to come to places where it's tough, right? There are so many places where it's tougher than ours!"
"Now that the living standards of our people have improved, you must have been the precious young masters of your respective families before you came here. Training will officially begin tomorrow. I wonder if you can endure the hardship?"
After asking this question, Huang Jiabo paused and looked at the recruits.
"able!"
The recruits blurted out subconsciously.
"The answer isn't firm enough. It seems someone isn't ready to endure hardships. We in the Wolf Brigade don't welcome people like that!"
Huang Jiabo's words startled the new recruits, who stood there waiting for what he would say next.
"Every year, the brigade and regiment hold a selection for Sirius Warriors and Fierce Warriors. Most of your squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders have been selected!"
Huang Jiabo smiled, "I hope you will follow their example and become brave men! Of course, if you feel that the hardship and fatigue here are too much and you can't stand it, you can also raise it in advance and we can send you home."
There was a slight commotion in the team, and the recruits had different expressions.
Xu Ge also began to wonder, if he could go back if he didn't want to stay anymore? Is that really that humane?
"I'm telling the truth. You haven't been awarded any titles yet, so if you want to leave, just tell me."
Huang Jiabo asked with a smile, "Is there anyone who wants to go home?"
Silence.
"Since there isn't any, then each company should take it back. It's getting late, don't delay tomorrow's morning exercises!"
"yes!"
Luo Shan stepped out and began to form the team.
The second and third companies left one after another, while the people from the first company stayed where they were.
Luo Shan looked at Liu Guoping, waiting for his instructions.
"Take the second and third platoons back and have a good rest. Each class in the first platoon should tidy up their own housekeeping!" After saying this, Liu Guoping left without looking back.
Xu Ge didn't understand what rectification meant, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing, and he felt that it was most likely caused by the spicy strips in his bag.
"yes!"
Luo Shan watched Liu Guoping leave, then walked to the front of a line of troops. He glared at the three squad leaders with a stern face, "No lights on, no loud noises. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
“Bring it back!”
"yes!"
. . .
. . .
In the corridor on the first floor, Du Hu stood at the door and gave the second and third squad leaders an unpleasant smile: "I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone. Tomorrow I'll treat you all to some red willow grilled skewers!"
The second squad leader and the third squad leader waved their hands without saying anything, and each took the new recruits back.
The new recruits in Class 1 entered the dormitory somewhat nervously and stood in a row in front of Du Hu's bed.
Du Hu came in with a sullen expression, glanced at his watch, and said coldly, "It's 11:58 now. Everyone, pack up and get to bed before 12 o'clock!"
"Disband!"
The recruits immediately rushed to their respective beds and began to dismantle their backpacks and put the items back in place.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui looked at each other. Neither of them knew what the squad leader meant, but no one dared to ask at this time. The expression on Du Hu's face was really scary.
Bang!
The lights go out.
In the darkness, Du Hu's figure sat motionless on the bed.
All the new recruits lay quietly on their beds, not daring to make a sound.
"Everyone, put on your hats and belts and gather together!" Suddenly, a low shout was heard.
Xu Ge thought it was not that simple, so he immediately jumped up from the bed, quickly put on his clothes and stood in front of Du Hu's bed.
"Get down!"
After everyone arrived, Du Hu said lightly.
The recruits all squatted on one leg in unison.
A token appeared in front of Xu Ge's eyes, and a prompt appeared.
[100% execution of current military orders, queue proficiency +3]
"Queue: LV1 (54/99)"
After giving the order to squat down, Du Hu didn't say anything else and just sat there quietly.
As time passed, Xu Ge felt that his right ankle was about to break. Waves of piercing pain came over him, accompanied by the numbness in his left leg, making him break out in a cold sweat.
The reactions of the others were even more exaggerated. Li Dongshui beside him even started to tremble. Several other recruits could no longer squat and their bodies were shaking.
Is this what rectification is? How long do I have to squat? Do I have to squat forever?
Questions popped up in his mind one after another, but Xu Ge gritted his teeth and persevered.
Li Dongshui seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and said in a trembling voice: "Report to the squad leader, I stuffed the bag of spicy strips into Xu Ge's bag, I didn't know it would..."
"Shut up! Did I ask you?"
Du Hu's voice was not loud, but the indifference that emanated from it still startled the recruits.
Why did the squad leader, who was usually so kind, suddenly change?
"I don't need excuses or reasons, I just need you to obey my orders!"
"Li Dongshui spoke without permission in the team, and will be given an additional ten minutes!"
After hearing this, Xu Ge actually felt relieved. There was finally a time limit, which was better than squatting and not knowing when to get up.
But he soon realized how naive his thoughts were.
Ten minutes later, Du Hu finally spoke up: "Everyone stand up!"
The recruits subconsciously tried to stand up, but then they all fell to the ground one by one. Their legs were numb and painful, and they could not stand.
"I'll give you thirty seconds. Take off your clothes and go to bed. If you exceed the time limit, come back and practice squats!"
Du Hu's words were like a death warrant, and the recruits immediately rushed to their beds, tumbling and crawling.
call!
Xu Ge couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief while lying on the bed. He finally survived this ordeal!
The next second, Du Hu's voice rang out again: "Everyone, put on your hats and belts and assemble!"
