"What's wrong, Dafei?"
"What did this new recruit do to make you so angry?"
Hearing his comrades' questions, Ye Pengfei, who was so angry that he was about to lose his temper, finally realized that he had lost his composure. A barely perceptible blush appeared on his purplish-brown face.
"Cough cough... Trying to annoy me? You're kidding!"
"A greenhorn like him, can he make me angry?"
"I just haven't encountered a troublemaker like this in a long time! Yes! A real troublemaker!"
"You wouldn't believe it, the moment I stepped into the Armed Forces Department, the officer there came over and told me to keep a close eye on this soldier!"
This statement came out.
The cadres and key personnel gathered together subconsciously glanced at Chu Zhao, who was standing alone in the square, and then turned around and asked with some suspicion.
"Really?"
"This kid seems pretty honest. Even in his military uniform, he can't hide his student-like air!"
"Platoon leader, we can't judge a book by its cover. There are many different types of troublemakers."
Ye Pengfei, who had been glaring at Chu Zhao, actually showed a somewhat fawning smile when facing the third-term sergeant in front of him who was frowning and asking him questions.
"You didn't see the expression on the armed forces officer's face!"
"As soon as he heard I was there to pick up Chu Zhao, the clerk, who had just woken up, immediately perked up and grabbed my hand, thanking me profusely!"
I can tell.
Although their contact was brief, Chu Zhao left a deep impression on the armed forces officer...
"What did he do to cause such a mess to the armed forces officer?"
"Time was tight... I didn't have much time to talk to him in detail..."
Ye Pengfei scratched his head, his gaze unconsciously drifting upwards as he drifted into memories.
"From what he said... it seems like this kid surnamed Chu did something that made all the new recruits and their parents who came to see them off cry..."
"What the heck?"
This statement came out.
The crowd, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, suddenly looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy!
The cadres and key personnel in charge of receiving soldiers ranged from new squad leaders like Ye Pengfei, who were in their second or third year of service, to veteran squad leaders who had served for more than ten years; they were all quite knowledgeable and experienced.
Making new recruits cry is nothing unusual; a song like "Green Flower in the Army" can do the trick.
But even the parents cried... that's kind of weird!
When everyone looked at Chu Zhao, who was standing silently in place, their eyes were filled with deep fear and wariness!
In their eyes, Chu Zhao was no longer the recruit who "had some connections".
It's a time bomb that could explode at any moment... no, a nuclear bomb!
"Dafei! You're the one who took over this soldier, you know him!"
"I'm entrusting this man to you. Make sure you keep a close eye on him!"
"What if he really made an entire platoon, or even a company, of new recruits cry..."
"Don't even mention you, I'd be in trouble too!"
Well known.
After enlisting, new recruits must undergo three months of "new recruit training" at the recruit camp.
Many people believe that this period is for new recruits to "correct their bad habits and establish rules," and also to improve their physical fitness so that they can take on the responsibilities of soldiers after joining their units.
This viewpoint is valid, but it's not comprehensive enough.
The greatest significance of the recruit training phase is actually to provide recruits with a buffer period from "civilian" to "military".
Heavy training... monotonous life... dull and repetitive days...
This is the main theme of the military, and also the root cause of why countless ambitious young people who yearn for military service ultimately give up.
Only after personally experiencing military life will the illusions and ideals of "serving the country and making contributions" in one's mind be shattered by the harsh reality.
Losing this aspiration can lead to fluctuations in the recruits' thoughts, or even the idea of quitting, which is perfectly normal.
But the military is not a place where you can "come and go as you please".
Three months of new recruit training.
The thing that cadres and key personnel are most concerned about is not how to improve training results, but how to stabilize the mindset of new recruits and make them serve in a down-to-earth manner.
Looking at it this way...
It is not surprising that the cadres and key personnel would show such a "strict and vigilant" attitude after hearing Ye Pengfei's description.
What if one of the new recruits who was made to cry by Chu Zhao suddenly gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and resolutely climbed over the wall to embark on his journey home?
Not to mention the regiment, even the division would tremble!
"yes!"
"Don't worry, Platoon Leader, I'll keep a close eye on this kid and make sure he doesn't affect the overall training!"
The words fell.
Ye Pengfei's lips slowly curved into a smile, filled with the satisfaction of "getting revenge"!
Kid... you've finally fallen into my hands, haven't you?
Don't rush, let's have a proper test of skills once we get to the army!
Meanwhile, Chu Zhao, who seemed to be standing still and behaving himself, was actually secretly observing the cadres and key personnel beside him.
Although I couldn't hear what they were discussing.
But judging from Ye Pengfei's smug expression followed by a sinister smile, it was definitely not something nice!
If it were an ordinary recruit, he would have been noticed by the squad leader even before entering the camp, and at that point he might already be trembling with fear.
Chu Zhao, however, found it rather boring and even wished Ye Pengfei could find some amusement for him!
Until now.
Chu Zhao still remembers Ye Pengfei's complaint.
"A burden...?"
He took a deep look at Ye Pengfei's purplish-black face.
Chu Zhao withdrew his gaze and transformed into a sculpture standing in the square in front of the station.
Not long after.
Buses arrived from all over Anhui Province and came to the station square.
Chu Zhao was no longer alone, but instead joined the new recruits, whose faces were full of fear and confusion, forming a small square in the square.
"They've all caught up!"
"What are you looking at! Stop looking around!"
"Hey soldier! Yes! You! Hurry up! Stop dawdling, you're not acting like a man!"
"..."
After all the new recruits arrived.
The cadres and key personnel surrounding the queue herded the new recruits into the station like ducks.
There were no relatives by their side, and no lively ceremonies.
All that was there were unfamiliar faces around him, and the increasingly loud and icy urging from the class leaders.
The annoying voices of the squad leaders were finally shut out and stopped when Chu Zhao boarded the somewhat cramped green train.
The train slowly started moving.
However, the cadres and key personnel were nowhere to be seen in Chu Zhao's carriage for a long time.
The recruits, who had been feeling stifled all the way, looked at each other and started whispering, which quickly turned into a heated discussion.
However, what they talked about was really not very informative. It was nothing more than fantasizing about future military life, and even expressing their ambition to become generals!
Chu Zhao had no intention of joining the discussion, so he leaned back in his hard seat, preparing to close his eyes and rest.
who ever thought.
The new recruit sitting opposite him, who looked very muscular, took the initiative to approach the silent Chu Zhao and asked with a grin.
"Dude."
"Is this your first time serving in the military?"
Chu Zhao: "..."
"?"
