Chapter 5

Then I heard Kuang Ming next to me sneering, saying that the artistic soldier is truly impressive, even lying down looks better than others, and even spitting has a melodic quality to it. That really is a high level, like hanging a warm kettle on a plane!

Thus, the instructor was filled with pent-up frustration

Naturally, the vast expanse did not truly intend for us to exhaust ourselves in a single run

It is strange to say, but I do not know if all Hunan people possess such a foolish and boorish demeanor

At that time, when it was mentioned that fighting would result in being sent back, my little heart truly raced with fear...

However, this time I am willing to take the knife!

However, if you truly do not wish to undergo such training, then the three years in the military will at most confine your criminal thoughts with ironclad discipline. Once you are discharged, those furtive and unscrupulous ideas will undoubtedly sprout and grow wildly overnight like bamboo shoots basking in sunlight and rain.

Then let's continue the conversation

Our training camp has been open for two weeks now, and the other day a soldier arrived in a camouflaged jeep.

So many brothers changed their expressions, yet he still did not know to read the room and act accordingly. He actually went up and kicked the blanket off someone, scattering it everywhere, and then looked at that brother in a very arrogant and provocative manner

Our class has also become quiet

On the first morning, while it was still pitch dark, everyone got up to go for a run. I was the first to dash out, standing straight in front of Kuangming, and waited for the last brother to come out before we lined up and started running

At that time, several observers, Yi Mao Yi and Yi Mao Er, had already marked my name with the intention of eliminating me. However, seeing me running around in such a nervous and foolish manner, two of the Yi Mao Er decided to erase that mark.

As soon as Brother Kuangming entered, he separated us, and this matter needs to be addressed

It must be said that Jia Ming is also seeking his own demise

At that moment, the brother's face changed color

In contrast, the physical advantages of rural soldiers quickly became apparent

I must mention my brothers from Shandong in relation to the books.

Yang fell down early. That guy's constitution is even worse than mine, and considering he lived a rather indulgent lifestyle before joining the army, his health is probably nearly ruined, causing him to collapse even before I did

Jiang Kuan is indeed a good child. Since childhood, he has been an exemplary student, a model of learning from Lei Feng, and one of the top ten outstanding youths. He probably often plays basketball and football at school, so he still insists on running. However, I believe that at most, he can only last five minutes before that big guy collapses.

Every night consists of singing, smoking, and an irregular lifestyle, coupled with laziness and indulgence. After several years of this, what kind of physical condition can I possibly have

I did not expect that the military operates in such a manner, where regardless of the number of people, their footsteps must align at a single point, and it is best if they run with such force that it seems to shake the earth and mountains, as this is considered to embody spirit and vigor. Therefore, although most individuals have not undergone training, once the majority synchronize their steps, others will instinctively follow suit.

It is sufficient to undergo proper training; after all, once one has completed the standard training, one can simply obtain a suitable title and then find a leisurely department to stay in while employing various tactics to achieve one's goals.

Therefore, those parents who truly cannot manage their children, do not treat the military as a free melting pot to train your kids

At that time, a whole group of brothers went up to gang up on that kid Jia Ming, and I was one of the main forces. I was the one delivering the punches while two brothers covered Jia Ming's mouth, and the other brothers were hitting him hard.

The military is truly a great melting pot, capable of teaching, nurturing, and refining individuals

Unexpectedly, they even went to the training camp to show off in front of others

The brothers from the Yimeng old district are kind-hearted. If you truly seek their help, they will assist you earnestly. Sometimes, even when you are in trouble and do not speak up, they will quietly help you resolve the issue.

Then the brother just threw the money onto Jia Ming's bed without saying a word and took his own blanket back

Such a birdman, the instructor means absolutely not, but https://www.hetushu.com the instructor really has no way to refuse

Do you still dare to be stubborn

I am not afraid of embarrassment; I will speak frankly. At that time, I ran for less than ten minutes before I found myself kneeling by the roadside, spitting. It felt as if someone was vigorously scrubbing my lungs with a brush, both cold and painful.

Urban soldiers, after all, have not engaged in much physical activity; even an athlete would struggle to keep up with such a pace. One by one, they began to fall behind, with some simply collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath, vomiting, and even experiencing spasms.

I remember that there is a strategy in the Thirty-Six Stratagems that seems to be called "Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone"

In the barracks, there is an old saying: "In this place, dragons coil and tigers lie down; spare me the nonsense!"

At that time, I was somewhat of a vanguard, so I could catch a glimpse of Kuangming, that pale-faced fellow, running alongside the team with a suspicious demeanor. I am not saying that Kuangming's movements were not standard or that his attitude was not serious; it was just that his expression seemed to convey a sense of gloating, coupled with a feeling of wanting to stir up trouble.

The officers and non-commissioned officers in the military have families and relatives, right? They need to survive and eat, don't they? Relying on that meager military salary, their wives and children at home can barely afford to eat coarse grains.

At that time, I fell so badly...

Did you see me throw up? Isn't that enough? Why are you still standing behind me, sneering? Haven't you ever seen someone throw up while running?

They are all people who have served in the military for a long time. With just a glance from those eyes, one can still distinguish who are the ones unable to get by at home... They think of the military as a great melting pot, and a free one at that. For children whom their parents cannot manage, being in the military helps to keep them in check, which is certainly better than getting into serious trouble and being sent to the shooting range.

The most infuriating person is that guy Kuang Ming

Even the most honest and straightforward person would feel frustrated by this

I truly wish that as many as possible could leave through such a backdoor

For instance, certain soldiers who entered the military camp through the back door

That was my first time learning from m.hetushu.com what running is, or rather, what running in the military entails

Sometimes, in someone else's territory, there is no way out

This strongly supports the argument I made earlier

Children from the Yimeng old district are all robust and strong. After a bout of silly running, those boys have faces as rosy as red apples on the buds of the motherland's trees, each one more enticing than the last

Thus, after three days of such circumstances, at least thirty individuals from the Yimeng old district mingled with us, the Hunan folks, and all remained in the training camp's roster

After being beaten, that guy Jia Ming couldn't even shout out, yet he stubbornly mumbled, "You all wait for me to find my dad. I'll deal with you bunch of bastards. My dad is so-and-so!"

Clay figurines also possess a certain earthy quality

I speak frankly; the military is not a monolith, and thus some undesirable practices still persist

Turning my head to look at Jiang Kuan and Yang Ke, they are not much better off than I am

There is also another type, which is the pure opportunist I have encountered.

It is estimated that Jia Ming's grandson, seeing that the few honest and straightforward fellows from the Yimeng old district, just moved in their luggage a few days ago, intends to cultivate a servant among these men

It is estimated that if this continues, even the high-ranking official father will not be able to bear it, which is why he thought of ways to send this young man into the military

Let me talk about one particular individual who left a deep impression on me

As for me, not to mention being in the second tier, I wouldn't even qualify for the eighth tier

Speaking of which, I am fortunate that a single remark from Kuang Ming provoked me into a frenzied run.

Otherwise, you can expect disappointment!

Peasant families all come from humble beginnings; who among them did not start working in the fields alongside their parents as soon as they could barely walk? Even if it was just picking up a stray ear of wheat, they would still be wandering in the fields all day long

The new recruits are learning to fight, and it has escalated into a group brawl, which is quite a serious matter. When the authorities arrived to investigate, all the brothers in the class had their stories perfectly aligned. That brat Jia Ming was bullying others and was the one who initiated the violence. The instructor immediately started compiling the materials, and after we gave Jia Ming another thorough beating, he cowardly took off his military uniform.

The entire person was thrown out sideways

But Brother Kuangming, why don't you say something to me as well

Then I heard Kuang Ming grumbling, "You little brat, you still have some spirit, huh? I still don't believe I can't handle you!"

At that moment, I did not know where the anger came from; I just felt that hearing Kuang Ming's words struck a nerve, and the temper of a Hunan person surged up suddenly. I stood up and stumbled forward.

Some individuals have gained access through backdoor means, such as the nationally renowned artillery major, who entered the military at a young age through connections and has become a model soldier through rigorous training

It seems that there are many soldiers in this world, and the training for new recruits mainly consists of content that everyone is already quite familiar with.

In the first echelon, the number of urban soldiers began to decrease sharply; by the end, apart from two brothers from martial arts schools who were still leading the charge, the rest were all rural children

For instance, those soldiers who are most despised by the instructors, without exception, are all weeping and wailing as they are dragged out one by one and thrown out of the training camp, sent to other, more arduous units.

I said that that brat Jia Ming is courting death

I will just say one more thing

It was not until a long time later that I realized, when we had just started hammering, Brother Kuangming was already standing outside the door

After running for a full half hour, the differences in physical fitness became evident

Brothers, let's get to work

It is likely that Kuangming did not expect me to make such a scene. It was only after seeing me fall down and get back up again that Kuangming hurried a few steps and kicked me right on the kneecap.

In fact, the elimination system has many other strategies; observing physical fitness and personality through running and walking is just one of them. As for the others, I won't bother to mention them, as those who should be eliminated have all been removed

But if I don't write, then it wouldn't be my novel, would it

I am a bit unsure about how to write it

Jia Ming's grandson then grunted, saying that if you make the bed for me every day, I will give you 100 yuan for a week

At that time, there were about thirty soldiers from Hunan, all of them running around foaming at the mouth, crawling on the ground, and their breathing sounded like a bellows, exhibiting all sorts of conditions. Yet, they all fell, got back up, continued running, then fell again and ran on...

It is estimated that the brothers in the Yimeng old district were somewhat bewildered at the time, staring blankly at Jia Ming and asking, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Hammer again

In elementary school, during physical education classes, children often gather excitedly at a certain spot, listening to the glass of the teaching building vibrating with a buzzing sound, and they laugh foolishly.

Then there is running, as if running forever without a destination

That fellow is named Jia Ming. It is said that he is the son of a high-ranking official from a certain place, and he has never been diligent in his studies since childhood. He particularly enjoys engaging in chaotic romantic relationships and is known for his bullying behavior, taking advantage of his family's influence.

That morning, several of us brothers got up early to tidy up the place, while that kid Jia Ming was still sound asleep. After we had arranged the blankets, he arrogantly took our blanket and tossed it over, while casually throwing over a hundred yuan.

Let me set aside some of the commonplace matters and focus on a few things that left a deep impression on me, such as our elimination system

At that time, I was unaware that this camp was actually a temporary training ground, specifically used to select suitable personnel from among the approximately 1,000 new recruits.

Anyone who continues to run after seeing this is truly risking their life, so the members of the team went up and slapped them down, tossing them aside. Except for the two brothers from the martial arts school who held on until the end, everyone else was swatted down like flies and thrown to the side.
