Chapter 1235 Unspoken Rules (First update, please subscribe)
“Da, da…”
When the recruits’ feet began to run following the command of the Master Chief, they The sound of the feet on the ground is like a drum, and the earth becomes the drum head.
Such a scene is very common in recruit training centers. These recruits not only have to carry K98 rifles - this kind of rifle is only used for recruit training. They even carried a variety of material models in their backpacks to ensure that they were marching with their marching weights.
The weight of the marching load is more important than the combat load. The marching load needs to carry some supplies, weighing 32 kilograms.
This weight is not actually heavy. According to the Marine Corps' endurance standards: an ordinary Marine has to carry 70 kilograms for about 15 kilometers. This kind of load is simply unbearable for ordinary people, which is why the Marine Corps is known as the "Amphibious All-Terrain Bipedal Animals."
For these recruits, whether it is a 32 kilogram load or a 30-kilometer forced march, it is a test of will.
Just over an hour after setting off, Zhao Hechuan was panting and sweating like everyone else, but his legs did not stop.
“Give up?”
The sergeant on the side suddenly ran over and yelled at a recruit.
"You can't do it anymore, give up quickly! You are so tired, give up quickly, give up, go home and be a good boy..."
There is no encouragement, only discouragement, in the face of such persuasion , the recruit who looked a little thin, but yelled there.
“I will never give up, sir!”
As we all know, they can give up, but after giving up, they will be ordered to postpone their service. This kind of postponement is different from that due to physical or academic reasons. Postponement is even more different from official postponement - under the condition of ensuring the size of the army, many people will not serve as soon as they turn 18 years old. Instead, they will be selected by drawing lots after enlisting based on their health and the number of conscription quotas for this year. It is possible that Will be postponed for a few periods.
However, those who are retired due to training reasons will have the "reason for retirement" clearly written on their enlistment books, which means that a stain will be added to their life resume - no one Soldiers who fail the "grinding of bones" will be regarded as men.
Serving in Nanyang is compulsory for all men, and there is almost no room for exemption. Although you will not be given any treatment or preferential conditions just because you are a soldier, in universities and in society, people will still be based on their military service. Give them a certain level of performance, especially in the company, because most of the company's top executives have Allied contingent backgrounds, so they attach great importance to the performance of their subordinates with military experience in the military.
Every society has its unspoken rules, and among the Nanyang Army, the unspoken rules are very simple - you can walk slower, but you must learn to persist.
Persistence is the most basic quality of a man.
Because of this, everyone will grit their teeth and persevere to the end during training. After all, no one will turn their life into a joke, especially for young people who want to enter a big company. , they need a beautiful service resume to prove themselves.
Gradually, the distance between the teams was widened. There were leading soldiers in the front, and some were lagging behind. There were even some who were one or two hours behind the front team.
After a thirty-kilometer forced march, the recruits who entered the recruit training center were already severely exhausted. Not only were they physically exhausted, but they were also mentally exhausted to the extreme.
As soon as thousands of recruits returned to the training center, as soon as their front feet entered the training ground, their legs became weak and they fell down, and then they fell down in small groups, some fell down, some lay down, or lay down for training on the center’s training ground.
When the last recruit entered the training center carrying a heavy backpack, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening. The bright moonlight was shining from the sky, and there were several bonfires burning on iron barrels on the training ground. It was burning with majestic flames. The fiery red flames and some sparks kept bursting out, making the entire training ground glow red.
"..."
Suddenly, passionate drumbeats sounded in the training center. After hearing the drumbeats, these exhausted recruits were stunned for a moment, and then lay down on the ground. As if they understood something, they stood up with their tired bodies, and then quickly lined up.
Although the new recruits had not yet been trained, they quickly lined up in formation. At this time, the lights were turned on, illuminating the podium where the ammunition boxes were piled, and the sergeant major slowly walked onto the podium.
When the drill sergeant major walked to the podium and stood behind the microphone, he looked around at the recruits who were still breathing heavily.
The exhausted recruits also looked at the sergeant major, and they all began to feel like they were holding their rapid breaths.
Looking at the tired, hungry, and even exhausted recruits in the audience, the corners of the sergeant major's mouth rose - because they were trying to stand up straight and try to line up in a more standard manner.
It is already ten o'clock in the evening.
These new recruits, who have marched for thirty kilometers, have not had a chance to sit down and have a good dinner until now.
This is a ceremony specially prepared for them!
As usual, the training sergeant major delivered a brief speech to the new recruits:
“I would like to congratulate everyone on the first march for passing the test of a thirty-kilometer forced march. I persevered with my own courage and will and successfully arrived at the training center.
In your future training and military career, I hope you can pay attention to some important things around you.
If you are willing, you can think back to the comrades who persevered with you today. It is their unremitting personal courage that inspires you and gives you the courage not to give up.
Recall what they look like, recall their names.
Recall the pain and gains in "grinding the bones", as well as the flames burning in front of you. I hope you can persevere and never give up in future training as you do today.
I wish you all the best. "
At this time, the passionate military drums sounded on the radio again, and the music of "Song of the African Legion" immediately resounded throughout the entire training center. This German military song is extremely popular among the armies in Southeast Asia , after all, this is also a tradition during the Allied contingent - after the contingent arrived in North Africa, they received training from captured German instructors, and the prisoner-of-war training team also had a military band, so "Song of the Afrika Korps" 》After slightly changing the lyrics, it became a military song in Nanyang
This passionate military music had a profound impact on the Nanyang Army. When Bastogne was surrounded, the search team also sang this song to resist the German attack. For the rest of the lives of the officers and soldiers of the task force, this song "Our Rommel" transformed into the "Song of the Afrika Korps" and became the repertoire of the Nanyang Military Band, and it was also the song for new recruits in the training center.
I have to say that sometimes history is so magical.
Under the bright moonlight, under the red bonfire, and to the passionate music of "Song of the African Legion", buckets of food were carried over, without cutlery or chopsticks. Even the rice, vegetables and meat in the bucket were poured directly onto the ground.
The aroma of the food filled the training ground. The hungry recruits were drooling. Looking at the food lying on the ground, they immediately transformed into hungry wolves and pounced on it, grabbing it from the ground. He picked up the food and ate it in big gulps.
At this time, no one thinks that the food on the ground is dirty, but it just smells delicious. In fact, this is also part of the military training. In the following training, all training is close to actual combat. They not only have to train on the training ground, but also in muddy swamps, and even Training on a "battlefield" full of animal offal and full of rancid smell, letting bullets pass overhead, eating unpalatable food with dirty hands on the smelly battlefield.
Everything is close to actual combat, which is the biggest feature of Nanyang recruit training. Finally, after four months of training, these recruits will be transformed into real warriors.
Next, they will be dispatched to various places, and even the "gendarme police" may be dispatched abroad - after all, Nanyang has many overseas territories of varying sizes.
In fact, it is not only soldiers who are trained in the training center, but also agents of the Secret Intelligence Service. They also need to be trained here. The training they receive is not even inferior to that of soldiers. After all, in On this front, the cruelty is even far greater than on the battlefield.
While the Secret Intelligence Service agents were training here, in the Secret Intelligence Service office, Jia Wentao was looking through the reports in his hands. As the Deputy Director of Operations of the Secret Intelligence Service, he needed to review, Develop many covert operations.
Just as he was looking through the report, a European agent in his thirties or forties came in and gently placed a report on his desk.
This man is Li Bai, whose German name is Heydrich. He was once an intelligence agent of the Third Reich Military Intelligence Agency and one of the longest-serving agents of the Secret Intelligence Service. Now he is basically no longer No more overseas missions.
His name is very common in Nanyang, especially among European immigrants. These European immigrants always like to use some Tangshan historical figures as their names, and some even directly name themselves "Tang Taizong" or something like that. name.
Maybe this is the difference between Europeans and Tang people. Principles like to use the names of celebrities to show respect for celebrities, but people in the Tang Dynasty avoid respect for celebrities.
However, there is no need to force it if you get used to it.
After reading the report just sent, Jia Wentao smiled again and said:
"Li Bai, do you think it is appropriate to send him to Germany to perform this task?"
After thinking about it, Li Bai said:< br>
"He is a very suitable candidate. I think there is no more suitable candidate than him. He has just finished training at the training center. Let him go to Germany to perform this mission just to relax, and in the future He will work there for a long time."
Nodding, Jia Wentao walked out from behind the desk, walked to the window and looked outside, and said:
"This task is not complicated, or there are no risks. He just needs to show his true side to the world. Well, let him do it!"
In fact, secret intelligence The work of the bureau is not just about collecting intelligence. Sometimes it also needs to perform some special tasks. Just like this task, it seems very simple, but it is not that simple.
Looking at Li Bai standing in front of his desk, Jia Wentao smiled and said:
"He is still very familiar with Germany. I believe he should be able to complete this task."
< br>Li Bai also said:
"That's what I mean. He was originally born in Germany and studied in Germany. He is familiar with German affairs. There will definitely be no problem in going to Germany to carry out this mission."
Looking at Li Bai, he nodded. Jia Wentao added:
“Do you have any other opinions about this task?”
“I don’t have any opinions, I’m just cooperating.”
Li Bai smiled said.
"Sometimes we always have to cooperate with enterprises to do something, after all. Most of the time they are cooperating with us, um, helping each other."
The reason why he said this is because in many Sometimes, agents of the Secret Intelligence Service will enter other countries as corporate employees, and this process requires the full cooperation of the company.
Moreover, several large companies in Nanyang have their own intelligence agencies. To a certain extent, their speed of collecting intelligence is not even inferior to that of the Secret Intelligence Service, so the cooperation between the two parties is extremely extensive.
“Yes,”
Nodding, Jia Wentao said:
"Indeed, we really need to cooperate with them. Well, let's try our best to help them realize this wish."
