Chapter 294 Recruits Enlisting
Here in Salt Lake Village, early the next morning, the recruitment test was held normally.
Including Hongshi and Heimu, everyone who is willing to serve as soldiers has come.
The recruitment test at this stage is basically not difficult. Generally, as long as you are not sick and your physical fitness and athletic ability are up to standard, you can pass it easily.
People here in the mine are all doing physical work, and they are definitely not bad in terms of physical fitness and strength. Passing this test is a piece of cake.
Of course, according to their leader's request, not everyone wants it.
The pay for being a soldier here is quite good. Many people want to be soldiers. If they accept all who come, will other departments and places be able to open up?
Zhou Xu has no intention of ruining his logistics.
In this war, logistics is the top priority!
If there is a problem with logistics and supplies cannot keep up, even a million-strong army will have no choice but to retreat.
In terms of military strength, Zhou Xu's thinking was very clear. He wanted to take the route of elite troops.
According to Zhou Xu’s intention, this batch of new recruits will be recruited and trained first. Compared with the past, the number of recruits this time is already large.
If the number of people who pass the enlistment test exceeds this number, then pick the top twenty with better scores.
It didn’t take much time. The twenty recruits in this batch were quickly confirmed and sent to the training camp outside Black Moon Village that day.
There was originally a woodland outside Black Moon Village. In order to obtain wood, the logging team cut down the trees in this woodland and cleared an open space.
Later, Zhou Xu established a recruit training camp in this open space. The recruits and instructors had their daily necessities and food here, independent of Black Moon Village to avoid interference between the two sides.
By the time this group of new recruits arrived, it was already approaching evening, and naturally there was no way to carry out this day's training.
After the instructor simply called their names and said a few words, he took them to the dormitory.
As soon as they approached, the expressions of the hard laborers, including Hongshi and Heimu, began to be confused.
They have seen these houses from a distance, and the mine workers will also say a few words from time to time, so they have a general idea of these types of houses.
Everyone thinks that when they finish their hard labor and earn money, they will definitely move into this kind of house.
But I didn’t expect that this day would come so suddenly.
But the instructor didn't care about this and just opened the door and went in.
The interior of the dormitory is very simple. The beds basically occupy about 80% of the space, and they are all wooden beds with bunk beds. Eight people can live in one dormitory.
"You guys, you can decide among yourselves the upper and lower bunk beds in this dormitory. The others will follow me."
While talking, the instructor led the rest of the people towards the next dormitory.
Standing in the hallway of the dormitory, looking at the neat beds, even Hongshi felt a little unreal at this moment.
Before coming to the dormitory, Kuroki, who had still felt a little regretful about his decision to 'join the army', couldn't help but take a deep breath.
【This thing doesn’t seem to be that bad! 】
At this moment, the recruits who have just passed the enlistment test are undoubtedly in a happy mood and are full of expectations for their future.
On the first night, everyone was so excited that they couldn't even sleep.
Until five o'clock the next morning, the copper bell symbolizing the gathering rang rapidly!
The recruits, who were too excited the night before and didn't fall asleep until midnight, were not awake at all now.
"It's so noisy! What time is it now?"
At this time, Hongshi was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. After being awakened by the sound of the copper bell, his voice was With an unconcealable annoyance.
Until the voice of a roommate rang out in the same dormitory...
"Wait a minute, I remember the instructor seemed to have said yesterday that as soon as the bell rings, we must gather on the playground within half a quarter of an hour! ”
Hearing this, Hong Shi, who was in a daze one moment, suddenly woke up the next moment, and jumped up from the bed like a carp, shaking the man who was sleeping on his lower bunk. The new recruit was shocked. Then, before the recruit could say anything, Hongshi jumped down from the upper bunk, put on his clothes in a few seconds, and rushed out of the dormitory as fast as he could.
At this moment, other people also reacted and got up one after another.
The flying Hongshi didn't have any skills. He relied entirely on the power of his legs and his explosive power.
But for short distance running, it is enough.
When he rushed to the playground to assemble, it was just past half time, and there were only five recruits standing on the playground.
This made Hongshi greatly relieved. He should not be late.
The formation was already taught to them during the enlistment test yesterday. There was no need for the instructor to say anything more now. Hongshi quickly entered the formation.
"Time's up."
At the same time, half a quarter of an hour was quickly up. As the recruits lined up in a square formation, it was basically clear how many of them had not arrived.
Counting in my mind, after the last two people arrived, the instructor said expressionlessly...
"The playground we are on now is a 500-meter run. It is normal in the morning. The physical training is to run five thousand meters, which is ten laps! However, since two people were late, the slowest one was three minutes late, and one minute was added, so everyone ran thirteen laps!”
< br>As soon as the instructor said these words, there was an uproar on the scene.
Among them, Hongshi shouted directly...
"No, instructor..."
"Shout a report!"
Hongshi's words were directly scolded by the instructor. end.
"Everyone must shout a report before speaking. I allow you to speak, and then you can speak, otherwise you are not allowed to speak out!"
The instructor's scolding made Hongshi feel annoyed.
Thanks to the fact that he has been mining in the mine for more than half a year, his temper has been tempered a lot. Before, he would have definitely taken action directly.
But even so, it could not change his dissatisfaction at the moment.
"Report!"
The instructor glanced at Hongshi.
"Say!"
"The two of them are late, why should we follow them and run three more laps?!"
In fact, the matter of how many laps to run, Redstone has no idea. I don't care, he just can't stand this anger.
Looking at Hong Shi, who looked dissatisfied, the instructor had an expressionless face. Basically, every batch would have a few thorns, and he was basically used to it.
“Suppose on the battlefield, the leader issued an order for you to ambush at a certain location, but two of them made a mistake and you were discovered by the enemy. Will the enemy only kill two of them? You want to tell the enemy that they were exposed, why should they kill you?”
The instructor's simple and crude example left Hongshi completely speechless.
"You all listen to me. This is the only time I will explain this issue to you. Since you have become a soldier, you must follow an iron rule, that is, obey orders! After this time, I No one is allowed to question my order."
As he spoke, the instructor's voice suddenly rose several decibels.
“Everyone, two more laps, fifteen laps, run!”
Update sent, thanks to book friend ‘Loist’ for the reward!
