I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

The first question touched on the vital point.

Neither of them answered immediately.

Long Weiguo didn't urge him.

He simply sat on the stone stool, calmly watching the two of them.

Zhao Long was a soldier he had led when he was the company commander of the recruit training company.

Over the years, Zhao Long has grown from a recruit who couldn't tell left from right and carried the wrong backpack during an emergency assembly into a regimental commander.

But some things haven't changed.

For example, when he feels guilty, Zhao Long will subconsciously tense his chin.

Now, his chin is almost as stiff as a steel plate.

Long Weiguo looked at him.

"Zhao Long".

"arrive!"

"Back in basic training, when you mistakenly took someone else's backpack during an emergency assembly, at least you knew to come out and admit it."

"Now that you're a political commissar, how come you've learned to hide behind trees?"

Several military leaders nearby almost couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Everyone was writing self-criticisms, and each person was feeling more and more depressed than the last.

Now that two more regimental commanders had been caught red-handed, their mood inexplicably improved.

That's just how people are.

It's really tough when you're down on your luck.

But once you discover that someone is even more unlucky than you, the pain will automatically lessen by half.

Zhao Long felt his face flush after being told off by Long Weiguo.

"Reporting to the commander, we did not hide."

"Didn't you dodge?"

Long Weiguo pointed to the big tree.

"Then what were you doing behind the tree?"

Zhao Long opened his mouth.

"us……"

Li Cuicui quickly responded.

"Reporting to the commander, we are observing the training of the training unit!"

Long Weiguo looked at him.

"Observational training?"

"yes!"

"Is the view better behind the tree?"

"this……"

"Or is it that the only way to see the 400-meter obstacle is to hide behind a tree?"

Li Cuicui was speechless when asked the question.

Long Weiguo looked down at his trouser leg again.

It was covered with grass clippings and mud.

There was also a faint gray mark on the knee.

It was obvious that he had been squatting on the ground for quite some time.

"You observed very carefully."

Long Weiguo nodded: "Your knees are all dirty from observation."

Zhao Long quickly offered an explanation.

"Commander, we mainly saw that you and the division leaders were handling work, and we were worried about disturbing you by coming here rashly."

So, I waited there for a while.

"Handling work?"

Long Weiguo raised the letter in his hand.

"You mean this?"

Zhao Long's face stiffened.

"Yes."

"From that far away, how could you know what we're writing?"

"I...I saw it."

"How long did you watch?"

Zhao Long fell silent.

This question is not easy to answer.

He said he had just arrived, but the bits of grass on his trousers wouldn't listen.

He said he had looked into it for a long time, but the army commander and other leaders wouldn't allow it because of their pride.

Li Cuicui tentatively replied, "Not long."

"How long is 'not long'?"

"A few minutes."

Zhao Long suddenly turned his head and glanced at him.

A few minutes?

Their legs went numb from squatting behind the tree!

Long Weiguo isn't stupid.

How could anyone believe such a thing?

Sure enough, after listening, Long Weiguo's gaze fell on Li Cuicui.

"Your legs go numb after squatting for just a few minutes?"

Li Cuicui was startled.

"Commander, how did you know?"

Long Weiguo pointed to his right leg.

"Since you came out from behind the tree, you've already secretly shaken it four times."

Li Cuicui: "..."

Did you observe that carefully?

He didn't even realize it himself!

Zhao Long sighed inwardly.

It’s over.

This is completely inexplicable.

Long Weiguo looked at the two of them, his expression still relaxed.

"Since you are unwilling to speak, then I will speak for you."

"After you arrive at the division headquarters, you will know that we are in the training corps."

"When I drove over, I saw the military police conducting an inspection."

"I was worried about getting involved, so I parked my car some distance away and hid behind a tree to observe the situation."

"Yes or no?"

Both of them fell silent.

Long Weiguo asked, "Why aren't you answering?"

Zhao Long had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Reporting to the commander, it is basically true."

"Basic?"

"true."

"Who shouted 'snake' just now?"

Li Cuicui answered immediately.

"Report, it's me!"

Are you afraid of snakes?

"Afraid."

Long Weiguo looked at him.

"A regimental commander, a soldier for decades, seeing a grass snake and jumping out from behind a tree in fright?"

Li Cuicui's face flushed.

I was bitten by a snake when I was a child.

"It left me with some psychological trauma."

Long Weiguo nodded.

"I see."

"That snake really did a good job."

Li Cuicui was taken aback.

"What merit did you perform?"

"We caught the two regimental commanders who were hiding behind the trees."

Li Cuicui: "..."

Finally, someone in the training team couldn't help but let out a short laugh.

Qin Gang suddenly turned his head.

Who laughed?

All trainees immediately stood at attention.

"Report: No!"

"No?"

Qin Gang said coldly, "Am I deaf?"

Qian Kun suppressed a laugh and said, "Reporting to the captain, someone might have been choked by the wind."

Qin Gang's face darkened.

"Can the wind really make someone laugh?"

Qian Kun: "..."

"Attention, everyone! Eyes forward!"

"yes!"

The trainees all turned their heads back in unison.

But all of their ears were standing up.

No one wanted to miss the conversation that followed.

After Long Weiguo finished asking his question, Zhao Yuanchao finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Li Cuicui!"

"arrive!"

"Zhao Long!"

"arrive!"

The two instinctively turned to Zhao Yuanchao.

Zhao Yuanchao sat on the grass, his face gloomy.

The letter in my hand was almost crumpled from being crumpled.

"Is it pretty?"

Li Cuicui didn't react for a moment.

"What?"

Zhao Yuanchao sneered.

"Did you enjoy watching me write my self-criticism from behind the tree?"

Li Cuicui's expression changed.

"Commander, you've misunderstood."

"What did I misunderstand?"

Zhao Yuanchao pointed to the big tree where the two had just hidden.

"Your car is parked more than 100 meters away."

"The person is hiding behind a tree."

"They hid for half a day."

"I've written almost two pages here, and you've read almost two pages behind me!"

"Now you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"

Zhao Long quickly offered an explanation.

"Commander, we didn't mean to look at you."

"If you weren't looking at me on purpose, then who were you looking at?"

"We're mainly looking at..."

Zhao Long glanced at Long Weiguo.

He then glanced at the military and division leaders around him who were lying on the grass writing self-criticisms.

I couldn't say anything more.

Should we tell Zhao Yuanchao that they didn't just look at the division commander, but looked at all the leaders?

Isn't that even more serious?

Zhao Yuanchao snorted coldly.

"Why did you stop talking?"

"Weren't you having a great time chatting behind that tree?"

"Now you're all mute?"

Li Cuicui chuckled twice.

"Commander, we're not laughing at this."

"Our main concern is that going there rashly might disrupt the normal performance of duties by the military police."

That's why we're temporarily avoiding it.

"Avoidance?"

Zhao Yuanchao laughed angrily.

"What a convenient temporary retreat!"

"Why don't you hide in the division headquarters office to avoid this?"

"Why do you have to hide behind the big tree so far from the training ground?"

"You call that avoidance?"

"What you call buying tickets to see a play!"

Zhao Long: "..."

Li Cuicui: "..."

This is a bit harsh.

But upon closer inspection, the description is actually quite accurate.

The two of them were indeed watching very intently from behind the tree.

Not just looking.

They also analyzed how long it would take the army commander and his team to write.

They even calculated whether it was more worthwhile to write a 10,000-word inspection or to spend two hours squatting.

However, it's definitely not something I can say to analyze these things.

Otherwise, Zhao Yuanchao would have buried them under that tree on the spot.
