Five minutes and five minutes, and soon the third five minutes were over.
No one saw Chen Ming change his legs at first, but later he failed and was discovered, mainly because he changed his legs too frequently.
The other recruits immediately followed suit.
But there is no point in learning.
After standing in the military posture for a long time, the legs were already in a semi-disabled state. Now he was practicing the squatting posture. Changing legs could only temporarily relieve the legs, but it could not eliminate the fatigue.
Seeing the new recruits faltering and almost reaching their limit, Zhao Lifei also felt that the heat was almost there.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Are you all resting?"
"Report, get some rest."
"Report, I've rested too."
The voice of this answer was clenched teeth, and the words came out word by word, which made the people who heard it feel toothache.
Chen Ming felt that this was like being in a military camp, bound by rules. If he were outside, the squad leader would be beaten into a pig's head if he caused hatred like this.
"What? You haven't rested enough. Why didn't I hear other people's voices? If you haven't rested enough, then continue to rest."
Zhao Lifei pretended to be a good old man, with an expression that didn't deserve a beating on his face.
The recruit was so angry that he didn't dare to complain.
All opened their mouths to answer.
"Report, enough is enough, let's take a rest."
"Report, we are all well rested."
This time the sound was much louder than before.
Zhao Lifei nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, everyone, get up. Don't squat after you have rested."
"Have you ever done push-ups? Don't be idle when we have a class meeting."
...
Two minutes later.
A class of ten people lay neatly on the track of the training ground.
This is not grass. There are pebbles everywhere on the surface.
The palms on the ground were so painful that no one dared to say anything and pressed their bodies downwards.
Now the squad leader is angry. As Chen Ming said before, don't provoke the squad leader, otherwise everyone will become a punching bag.
Zhao Lifei stared at the supervisor for a moment, but did not correct their push-up postures or continue to embarrass them.
He walked up to a row of recruits and sat down and said, "There are two things about the class meeting today. Please pay attention."
"These two things are particularly important to you new comrades."
"During recruit training, each class will reserve the position of deputy squad leader. The so-called deputy squad leader assists me in managing you."
"Since you are assisting me, I will choose whoever does well in all aspects in the class. You have no right to vote."
"Whoever I designate is who. I am telling you this now so that you can perform well and strive for it. When you become the deputy squad leader, there will be records in the company. When the training is over, you will be assigned to the company. Recruits who have served as deputy squad leader in the recruit company, You will be trained as a backbone.”
"In the future, the chance of staying in the team and becoming a non-commissioned officer will be much higher."
And the deputy monitor?
This matter is quite attractive to the recruits.
I have been here for almost two days, and the squad leader basically does nothing all day long, just talking and talking. In their opinion, the deputy squad leader should also receive this kind of treatment.
But his heart was racing, and after his mind calmed down a little, almost all the recruits in the class turned to look at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming performed well, this is an indisputable fact.
The position of deputy squad leader will most likely go to Chen Ming.
Everyone has just entered the military camp and knows nothing, but Chen Ming is different.
He seemed to be prepared and performed better than them anyway.
If they didn't understand something before this, it was normal for them to ask Chen Ming for advice.
But now, they feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, we are all the same age, why can you be the deputy monitor if you only know a little more?
Chen Ming naturally noticed that the other recruits' eyes were focused on him, and also noticed that the atmosphere was a little subtle, but he didn't care.
His experience as a human being in two lifetimes taught him that if you have the chance, grab it, don’t be embarrassed, don’t worry about this or that.
Some opportunities are yours only if you seize them. If you are sentimental and think too much, he will be the one carrying the baggage after the last two years of service.
At that point, nothing can be done to make up for it.
When you seize the opportunity, at least stay willingly. This is the way out.
Therefore, at this time, he will not be humble, and he will not say, "I am not interested in the position of deputy squad leader" just because he received some hostility.
Zhao Lifei also noticed that all the recruits' eyes drifted towards Chen Ming from time to time.
He doesn't interfere, and even enjoys the situation.
What soldiers want is to compete with each other, and what they compete for is a spirit that is no weaker than others. Without this thing, on the battlefield, what should you do if the enemy shouts and tries to do something, but you can't defeat it?
He could just run away.
Fighting is good, of course, there should be healthy competition between comrades, and there should be no greed.
Zhao Lifei paused and continued with a slightly excited voice: "The second thing is also the most important thing to talk about in today's class meeting."
"Our 11th Artillery Brigade takes great care of new comrades. Every year, after a period of training for new recruits, we will organize a competition for new recruits."
"In the past, when our brigade was not reorganized and was still a mechanized artillery division, we had the habit of evaluating recruits. If you get the first overall score in the evaluation, you will get a third-class personal merit."
"Do you know what personal third-class merit means?"
Forehead...
The recruit who was doing push-ups was silent for a while.
Of course they have heard of military awards, and they also know that public armed units all receive military awards for outstanding performance.
But what it represents, I really can’t say.
Chen Ming knew that, but now was the time for the squad leader to show off his veteran experience in the class meeting, so it was not appropriate to interrupt.
that's the truth.
Zhao Lifei didn't expect any of them to answer at all. Instead, he stood up from the ground and said in a loud voice: "You come to join the army. Your relatives and friends at home will know about it."
"But your relatives and friends don't know what you did and how you performed in the army. You can only tell them yourself. Even if you tell them, they may not believe it."
"But if you win a third-class individual merit award, the Department of Veterans Affairs in your city and the local Armed Forces Department will contact your family."
"At a time that is convenient for your family, we will beat gongs and drums and walk through the streets to deliver the good news and a red plaque to your home."
"You don't even need to go back in person. Relatives and friends, people in the same village, and people in the same community will know that you have made achievements in the army. Moreover, if there is a public institution to bear witness, this is meritorious service."
"How about it? Is what I said clear enough?"
I have to say that Zhao Lifei still understands the thoughts of these recruits.
Most of the young men who come to join the army at the age of eighteen or nineteen choose to join the army because they have no better choice at the moment.
Even some people are just determined to serve as compulsory soldiers for only two years and then return home.
Then they can't resist the temptation of the big red news being delivered to their homes.
Who doesn’t want to return home in fine clothes, and who doesn’t want to add splendor to their home?
If during a war, if you attack the enemy's high ground and you are certain to die, you can even reward one person with 500,000 yuan and let the soldiers voluntarily organize death squads to charge into the battle.
There may be many people who hesitate.
But when it comes to being named a martyr after rushing in and sacrificing his life, the genealogy should be opened on a single page, and military exploits and honors should be sent home.
Then don't worry about it, just rush forward without hesitation.
This is the characteristic of a nation, a spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The recruits at this time were no exception, and the squad leader said that they were full of enthusiasm.
Even Chen Ming, a veteran with rich social experience, is fascinated by military merit.
Compared with the first place in the competition and the third-class meritorious service, compared with the election for deputy squad leader just now, the temptation of the latter instantly seemed ordinary.
Zhao Lifei looked at the time and saw other classes starting to leave the training ground one after another.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, stand up."
"It's almost lunch time, so while there's still some time, we're all here, two columns ready."
"Run a thousand meters! Disband after the end!"
"Set off."
