The relationship between humans and dogs has lasted for tens of thousands of years. From wolves wandering near their habitats, they have gradually evolved into dogs that obey humans. The two simple words of 'domestication' have now been used in all aspects, and physical means are used to eliminate violations. Or, in the long communication process, establish an appropriate reward and punishment system, amplify the unique servility of dogs and transform it into loyalty to humans.
Just like other sheepdogs will fight wolves in order to obey the instructions of humans to protect the sheep, these dogs that have completely separated from the wolf pack can fight against their own kind without hesitation under the orders of humans, as if forgetting that the wolves are actually themselves. True compatriots.
For dogs that have been tamed, the instructions given by humans as their owners always take precedence over preserving their own survival instincts. The owner’s orders are the first rule of conduct. In Petrov’s view, whether it is a human or an animal, Only this level of taming can be regarded as gaining loyalty. If the Soviet Union can truly gain the loyalty of the people, then the Soviet Union can be regarded as a truly great country.
As a former senior officer in the secret force of the People's Commissariat of State Security and now a senior secret political worker in the Political Bureau of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of Internal Affairs), the reason why Petrov appeared in Novis as a training officer was partly because of Ivan Nov reached some kind of deal with Petrov's boss, and on the other hand, he enhanced his brainwashing ability by serving as a training officer.
Although he has full skill points in assassination, counter-insurgency, and sabotage behind enemy lines, Petrov's results in brainwashing and hypnosis courses have never been satisfactory. This is why he immediately became obsessed with Xia Jie after discovering that he could easily hypnotize himself. A different attitude.
'Chartier, this is the experiment you promised me to do. Now let me see what you can do. '
Not knowing that he had become the object of observation and learning at this time, Xia Jie only knew that he could not rely on himself for the remaining five meters. He had to find a way to make the wolf dog in front of him become active.
Whether it is making friends or training a dog, improving a relationship is never a matter of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of both.
There is no profound scientific theory to support his behavior. All Xia Jie can rely on is the purest goodwill, the most basic human-canine interaction feedback and a little patience.
When making any action, you must observe all behavioral signs of the wolf dog. Positive feedback includes wagging the tail in good faith, sticking out the tongue, squatting and relaxing the body. Negative feedback includes making a low haha sound, the fur standing on end, rolling the eyes and tightening the body. Center of gravity etc.
Once negative feedback occurs, Xia Jie will not hesitate to give up the current communication behavior and return to the previous step.
Xia Jie, who kept trying to adjust his tone and movements, made the prisoners completely stunned and confirmed the movement behavior that the wolf dog in front of him considered to be the least threatening - dog crawling.
Whether they are bending over or walking squatting, these so-called low-threat postures cannot make the wolf dog put down its vigilance. Only the dog crawling posture with both hands on the ground will completely turn the wolf dog into a "curious baby" and the body will no longer be nervous. , instead, his eyes widened, with a curious look of "What are you, I want to smell and lick it."
When the wolf-dog began to move its buttocks and cautiously sniff and approach the unknown creature, the prisoners outside the cage had just recovered and exchanged their thoughts with each other in lowered voices.
"Is this idiot out of his mind? With such a posture, he will be easily killed by wolves and dogs. How can anyone walk like this?"
"Don't worry, I always feel that there is something different about this Chinese worker. He seems to be trying to communicate with the dog."
"How can humans communicate with such stupid beasts? Besides, these wolf-dogs are hungry man-eating beasts, not ordinary dogs raised by ordinary people. I dare say that when the dogs come over, they will definitely bite him to death..."
The sounds of discussion reached his cochlea. Reznov, who had been closing his eyes in the corner with his back to the iron cage, suddenly opened his eyes and looked back. The worst case scenario he expected had not appeared. Until now, Chartier It did not become food for hungry dogs. Instead, it attracted hungry dogs with a strange attitude.
"Xiaerjie, you must survive..."
The distance of five meters is very long for Xia Jie, but very short for the wolfdog.
As he kept getting closer, Xia Jie always maintained a dog crawling posture, and kept making "tsk tsk" sounds from his mouth, which are relatively sensitive for dogs.
Four meters, three meters, two meters...
When the distance was reduced to one meter, the wolfdog stopped and squatted down with his head tilted.
Knowing that the development of the matter had reached the most critical moment, the calm Xia Jie slowly extended his right hand to the wolfdog's chin without hesitation.
"Uh-huh-huh...huh-huh-huh..."
Seeing that things had changed, the wolfdog, who was once again vigilant, suddenly let out a low threatening sound. The corners of the dog's mouth opened slightly, revealing sharp teeth, as if it would bite him in the next second.
Xia Jie could easily smell the fishy smell coming from the dog's mouth.
Reznov held his breath outside the iron cage and clenched his weapons tightly with both hands.
Petrov on the high platform stared intently at the person and dog he was about to come into contact with, his expression a little strange.
Although the guards and prisoners in the concentration camp had different expressions, they all focused their attention on the iron cage. At this time, Xia Jie had achieved "the attention of all people" that had never been seen in the Novis concentration camp. .
Without flinching, Xia Jie's right hand was getting closer and closer to the dog's mouth, and the dog's mouth grinned wider and wider. Just when everyone thought Xia Jie had failed, at a certain moment, the low threatening sound in the iron cage suddenly disappeared.
Xia Jie successfully placed his right hand on the wolfdog's chin and gently stroked it along the chin fur.
"Hululu...Hululu..."
An unprecedented feeling of relief came from his chin, as if his soul was trembling. The wolfdog trembled, raised its forelimbs, stretched, and began to wag its tail.
"This guy, he actually succeeded..."
Novskov looked at the man and the dog in the iron cage who were "happy" with each other in disbelief, and his head was in a state of confusion.
"Is this even fucking okay?"
Reznov's legs softened and he sat down on the ground. When he realized what he was doing, he realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat at some point.
As soon as his hands were released, the two weapons fell to the ground with a heavy metal collision.
"Charlie, I knew you were different, you were different... Just survive, just survive..."
Petrov, who had witnessed with his own eyes how a hungry dog that was about to be driven crazy was touched and belly-turned with bare hands, took a deep breath and winked at the soldier holding a tranquilizer gun.
With the sound of the gunshot, the anesthetic bullet was shot into the body of the defenseless wolfdog. Xia Jie was stunned and subconsciously protected the dog under him. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the dog had already lost consciousness.
The emotionless sound of the trumpet echoed above the empty cage.
"Chartier, qualified."
Novis concentration camp, Siberia.
Great news has arrived.
Many prisoners set up commemorative plaques with smelly socks on their bedsides for Commissar Vladimir, because under the "reasonable arguments" of the glorious and majestic Political Commissar Vladimir, the paralyzed and bald devil trained Officer, the demon's host Petrov backed down.
From today until leaving Novis, the prisoners will spend their time on Friday afternoon and even before going to bed at night, which is called "putting it out" for short. It's just like the students used to be like bears after school on Fridays. .
Although in Xia Jie's opinion, using smelly socks to set up a spiritual sign is more of an insult than a sign of respect, but he witnessed the devout man opposite him kneeling and praying to the smelly socks hanging in front of his bed. Yes, maybe they are really just expressing their respect, but I don’t know what Commissar Vladimir thought after seeing himself become a smelly sock.
In the Eastern Physical Training Field.
Xia Jie, who was blushing and sweating heavily, lifted the iron barbell. After holding on for five seconds, he had to put down the iron barbell with the help of Reznov and sat on the mat panting.
This is already his third training session.
Similarly, he has already made it clear during training that compared to Reznov's fifteen seconds without blushing and out of breath, he is a younger brother.
"Don't be discouraged. Physical training is never a matter of one or two days. You think I am great because I have been practicing for more than 20 years."
Easily lifting a heavier iron guy from the ground, Reznov's arms suddenly bulged. Xia Jie made some gestures and found that the bearded arms were thicker than his thighs.
"But the problem is that I don't have much time left. Brother Reznov, with my physique, can I survive on the battlefield?"
Xia Jie hugged his knees, his tone full of self-doubt.
Earlier, Xia Jie had already clarified the date of his crossing from Reznov.
After touching the regular hexahedron, Xia Jie inexplicably arrived in 1942, and time advanced directly to June 12th.
Because his major was not military or history, Xia Jie did not know the specific progress of the Soviet-German war. However, he still did not sleep in the history class. He understood that as an important turning point in the Second World War, Stalingrad The battle lasted for more than July.
In other words, there is not much time left for him to increase his strength. In July, he may join the battlefield of flesh and blood as cannon fodder in the punishment camp at any time.
He didn't think he could achieve much within a month.
"Chartier, first of all you have to understand something."
Sensing Xia Jie's confusion, Reznov put down the barbell easily and looked a little more serious.
"On the battlefield, although physical fitness is important, it is not the most important survival factor."
Pointing his head with his index finger, Reznov's voice was very convincing.
"Flexible consciousness is the most fundamental guarantee for your survival. Avoid bombardment when you need to avoid bombardment, find bunkers when you need to find them, and when you should do something. These are the most important things.
On top of this, other combat skills can play their due role. Even if I walk out of the crater during the artillery bombardment, I can only become a piece of meat. No matter how well my body is trained, I can't use it. any effect.
To take a step back, fighting is rarely used on the battlefield. Most of the time, you just need to keep a distance and pull the trigger from a distance. I think you are still talented at this, as long as you are more cautious. , there may not be a chance of survival.”
After listening to Reznov's words, Xia Jie suddenly felt better.
From this point of view, it seems that he is not useless.
"Speaking of which, brother Reznov, why do you know this? Is it because you have been on the battlefield before?"
"Yes, it was a desperate experience..."
The big beard trembled. Reznov obviously didn't want to talk about this anymore. Xia Jie couldn't ask any more questions and quickly changed the topic.
"Then...brother, what do you think it would be better for me to learn now?"
"You can learn some simple and practical things while completing Novis's training program, such as basic fighting skills, human body vital organs, battlefield common sense, struggle awareness or survival skills.
It just so happens that I have a more or less superficial understanding of these things, which should be helpful to you. But if this is the case, you may not have much time to relax or sleep in the future, even though they are just simple things. , but it takes a lot of time and energy. Of course, how much you can learn depends on you. As for a systematic fighting system, it is enough for you to follow Petrov and learn Systemma. Although I also know a little bit, but I’m definitely not as good at teaching as him…”
"It doesn't matter, no matter how difficult it is, I can accept it... But, will this bring you trouble, brother?"
Raising an eyebrow, Reznov smiled half-jokingly.
"Trouble? Haha, I have enough troubles already.
Chartier, you don’t have to worry about proving yourself. I can see that you are a very special person. To be honest, if it were me, I would have died in an iron cage at that time. I have lived in Novis for half a year. Duo, I have never seen anyone who can communicate friendly with a hungry dog in that situation, so I am willing to believe you. What's more, you saved my life. Without the dagger you threw in, I would have died long ago. . "
Xia Jie stood up suddenly from the ground, bowed slightly and spoke seriously.
"Then I'll trouble you, brother."
"Okay, in that case, let me tell you now how to train to quickly strengthen your physique in a short period of time. Simply doing mechanical repetitive training has the lowest effect. You should use special breathing methods... "
While Xia Jie was stimulating his survival fighting spirit and training hard, Vladimir, sitting in a dark room, put down the confidential letter in his hand with a solemn expression, lowered his head and meditated silently.
