Chapter 15

Wu Liuyi felt like he had eaten shit.

Simply put, Gao Cheng had a whim and intended to consolidate the mystery of the army for these new recruits.

So a week later, they gathered the new recruits in the auditorium for a mobilization.

Gao Cheng hadn't arrived yet, and Wu Liuyi stood on the high platform, shouting at the top of his lungs,

"The army is a place where the fittest survive, because war is also a battlefield where the fittest survive! I ran five thousand kilometers in the five-kilometer cross-country to get second place in the whole division, and that's how I became a volunteer soldier!!"

"Some people think they are stubborn and can stand in this big family by carrying their bodies."

"Wrong. The army talks about unity; soldiers who don't obey orders are bad soldiers everywhere."

His gaze landed precisely on Feng Yuxiu's face, trying to find a trace of possible guilt.

But apart from indifference and disregard, he didn't see this soldier look like a new recruit at all.

"Stand up!"

Wu Liuyi still intended to give a few more instructions.

Shi Jin suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Neatness and uniformity were the first standards new recruits learned.

Thus, their gazes followed Gao Cheng, who walked in through the door.

"Hello, Company Commander!"

The new recruits' voices were deafening.

Gao Cheng grinned and waved his hand, "Sit down!"

Again, the sound of neat movements.

It seemed that in this army, consistency in words and actions was the highest level of compliance with the mission.

Gao Cheng happily put his hands on his hips, making exaggerated physical gestures, "I find this 'good' word deafening. You finally look like soldiers. Not bad, not bad, this is very good."

The new recruits' burning gazes fell on Gao Cheng's face.

Gao Cheng smiled satisfactorily, scanning them one by one.

After pausing slightly on Feng Yuxiu, he walked to the very edge of the high platform.

"Do you find being a soldier tiring?"

"No!" Another deafening answer.

"It would be a ghost if it weren't tiring. Even if you are a soldier for a lifetime, the army won't treat you as a soldier. But don't write home saying that being a soldier is just marching. In two days, when you are assigned to combat units, you'll be dazzled to death.

Not to mention anything else, take my armored reconnaissance company, nine vehicles and nine cannons, charging and fighting. The nine vehicles are all filled with elite soldiers! Platoon Leader Shi, how many tanks did you take out alone in that anti-tank drill?"

Shi Jin, who was sitting upright, stood up and answered rigidly: "Report to the Company Commander, five."

"Listen, everyone listen, five."

"With this destructive power! Shall I tell you about the training subjects of the reconnaissance company? Shooting with various types of firearms, of course, in various terrains including night combat environments, firearm principles, maintenance and repair, vehicle driving, vehicle-mounted firearm mastery, vehicle maintenance and simple repair, individual anti-tank and anti-vehicle training, mastery of individual anti-tank missiles and individual air defense missiles..."

He said a bunch of things, and the new recruits didn't understand what they were, only feeling they were high-end.

Everyone's eyes were filled with admiration and envy.

Suddenly, Gao Cheng noticed Cheng Cai, who was beside Feng Yuxiu, lowering his head, his mouth opening and closing.

Gao Cheng paused, pointing at Cheng Cai, "That soldier... that soldier, what are you muttering about?"

Since Cheng Cai arrived in the army, he had exerted his snobbishness to the limit.

He tried to get on good terms with the whole squad.

But he was always suppressed by Feng Yuxiu.

The prominent Feng Yuxiu had outrun the veteran Wu Liuyi.

He saw it clearly.

His dad told him that only when he reached the army would it be his time to shine.

Xu Sanduo had only finished middle school.

How could he be more dazzling than him?

Thus, he changed his mind.

He memorized this speech by the Company Commander.

He believed this was the beginning of his surpassing him.

"Report to the Company Commander, I was reciting your earnest teachings to us!"

Cheng Cai stood very standardly, his voice loud and crisp.

Gao Cheng became interested, turned his head to look at Shi Jin, "Oh, interesting. Then tell me, what do you think these things I just said mean?"

Cheng Cai choked, "Report to the Company Commander, I don't know right now, but I will study your words carefully next, striving to understand them thoroughly and learn them thoroughly! I have this determination and this direction!"

Listening to the template-like answer.

Shi Jin unconsciously touched his temples; every time he faced Cheng Cai, he felt like he was attending a class in an advanced study group.

Gao Cheng looked slightly disappointed, paused, "Oh, very good!"

Then he began to praise him profusely, "Did everyone hear that? Having this momentum is very good. Learning is the most important thing; being a soldier also requires learning. Good soldier or bad soldier, you can tell at a glance. Sit down."

The atmosphere fell into a short pause.

This wasn't Gao Cheng's expectation.

He held this meeting to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

That proud rooster wasn't Cheng Cai.

It was this unremarkable Xu Sanduo!

"Xu Sanduo, tell me, what do you think those words mean?"

Gao Cheng's unintentional glance seemed like a real random check.

Shi Jin suddenly looked over.

Even Wu Liuyi, who was sitting on the high platform, clenched his hands.

His gaze could kill someone.

Feng Yuxiu stood up, and the whole venue fell into silence, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

They all wanted to know what this famous stubborn soldier could say.

"Report to the Company Commander, those words were just some superficial remarks; they are all in the military handbook."

Silence.

Everyone was silent.

Gao Cheng's expression became extremely calm.

He saw it completely.

This new recruit was not a damn stubborn soldier.

He was just a blockhead.

"I'm asking you, can you gain any insight from these words?"

Gao Cheng was serious.

"Report to the Company Commander, no insight. It all requires long-term study and training to master the skills you mentioned."

Forget it, just die.

This was Gao Cheng's desperate inner thought.

"Sit down!"

Feng Yuxiu sat down expressionlessly.

Night.

Gao Cheng called Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi into the room.

He held a stack of materials in his hand.

The one on top was Feng Yuxiu's.

He looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally placed it on the table.

"This soldier hasn't learned how to be a soldier."

This was Gao Cheng's final summary.

"Hey, Company Commander, you're right about that. I've seen stubborn ones, but I've never seen one so dead-set; he's more stubborn than a donkey."

Wu Liuyi agreed while smoking a cigarette.

"But he's a good seedling." This was Gao Cheng's second summary.

"So what? The army doesn't lack good seedlings, but going far makes a good soldier. His personality is incompatible."

"If he dares to challenge a group alone in war, he'll exhaust people when he goes on missions."

Wu Liuyi retorted.

Seeing that the two were about to decide Feng Yuxiu's destination.

Shi Jin hurriedly spoke, "Company Commander, he was first in the new recruit company, and I also promised his father..."

"Did you take a bribe?" Gao Cheng stood up instantly and walked over aggressively.

"No, no, this is a promise. I promised his father I would lead him well."

"You promised my ass. It's good enough that you can protect yourself. The group army will have big moves soon; you'd better take care of yourself."

Gao Cheng shrank back suddenly and threw away the cigarette that had burned to the end.

"This is a good seedling, but he lacks a sense of collective honor."

The meeting ended with this sentence from Gao Cheng.

Shi Jin couldn't sleep all night.

So he planned to go out and get some air.

The next second, he saw this unforgettable scene of the night.

Feng Yuxiu was hanging upside down on the horizontal bar, doing pull-ups with his hands buried in the sand.

This anti-human scene made his breath hitch.

"Where did he learn that?"
