Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

"Squad leader, do you think these guys are crazy? Running five kilometers in the middle of the night, are they made of iron?"

As soon as Xie Fei returned to his platoon, a new recruit stood outside the window, pointing at Chen Nian's troops and shouting.

Xie Fei glanced at him sideways but ignored him.

"Everyone, change into your training uniforms! Assemble downstairs in two minutes. Anyone late will have extra practice!"

After saying that, Xie Fei took out a nylon rope, turned around and left.

The new recruits were left looking at each other, bewildered. Wait, what's going on?

Two minutes later, the new recruits stood scattered across the training ground, the shouts of Chen Nian and others echoing in their ears:

"Five kilometers, I love you!"

"I'll miss you terribly if you don't run for a day!"

"No way, who came up with this slogan? It's incredibly twisted!"

"I'm truly impressed. How did they manage to curl up their hair in basic training?"

"Damn it, are they even human?"

"Go ahead and keep pushing, push until no one can rest, push until no one has a good day, then you'll feel at ease!"

A few new recruits gathered together, their resentment could feed ten evil sword immortals!

"What are you all muttering about? Didn't you see how others are training?"

"I don't know how you have the nerve to complain. In the afternoon, some people can run five kilometers in an hour. Even elderly people in their seventies and eighties are faster than you!"

"Some of them hadn't even run two kilometers before they lay on the ground yelling at me, 'What's wrong? You don't want to live anymore?!'"

Xie Fei, like a seasoned troll, kept firing off insults at the new recruits in his platoon.

"Everyone, put these nylon ropes around your waists, I'm going to lead you on a run!"

"I'll just say one thing: close your eyes and run. When to stop is up to me!"

After saying that, Xie Fei tied the nylon rope around his waist and then threw it to the new recruit:

"Line up in your own queue!"

At the front of the line, Chen Nian could clearly feel the rope pulling harder, which meant that someone was already giving up.

"Everyone, lift your heads, don't droop them. Close your eyes, listen to my footsteps, and follow my lead!"

Chen Nian had sandbags strapped to his body, but his breathing and gait were no different from when he first started. Apart from the fact that the color of his training clothes had darkened after being wet, Chen Nian was no different from when he first started.

"Keep up with Dad Chen, no one is allowed to fall behind!"

Wang Shifeng stepped forward, reached out and supported Zhang Haoyu's lower back, and said in a deep voice:

"Hold on, we're halfway there, keep going!"

Zhang Haoyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his burning heart and throat forced him to speak.

"Come on, let's shout the slogans!"

"Five kilometers, I love you!"

"I'll miss you terribly if you don't run for a day!"

Xie Fei led the team, following behind Chen Nian's class. Upon hearing the slogan, Xie Fei shouted back to those behind him:

"Let's get the slogans up and wake up those who're about to go to sleep!"

"Five kilometers, I love you!"

"I'll miss you terribly if you don't run for a day!"

Upon hearing this, the new recruits felt less resentful and shouted their slogans loudly.

Xie Fei chuckled upon hearing the slogans. He knew all too well what these new recruits were thinking: "We're all new recruits, why should we train you to sleep while we get up and run?"

Zhang Zheng and Lao Ge stood by the office window, smiling as they looked at the training field.

"Wow, night training the very next day? Chen Nian is ruthless!"

"That's Xie Fei, right? Has this kid been dragged into this too?"

"His talent is quite good, but he's too mischievous and lazy. Now that he has a mentor like the 'King of Curry' guiding him, he might actually be able to climb even higher!"

Old Ge nodded in deep agreement:

"But those remaining recruits are really good at sitting still!"

"Those new recruit platoon leaders, they've got some pretty big hearts!"

Zhang Zheng's eyes darted around, and he shouted towards the door:

"Lu Yao!"

"Company commander, political instructor!"

Lu Yao pushed open the door and entered.

Zhang Zheng pointed to the training ground outside the window and shouted to Lu Yao:

"Wang Shifeng and Xie Fei's squads are all doing night training downstairs, but the other new recruit squad leaders haven't done anything about it?"

Lu Yao blinked, not daring to reply.

"Go on, think of a way. Although night training isn't mandatory and is encouraged to be voluntary, I hope that these new recruit squad leaders can, within ten minutes at most, get every single soldier in their squad to voluntarily participate in night training!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao felt as if the sky had fallen.

No, do I look like a very brave person?

If this were conveyed according to your wishes, I'd be hacked to pieces by the soldiers!

But "military orders are like mountains," and Lu Yao didn't want to provoke anyone; he would be chopped into mincemeat by Zhang Zheng right now.

"yes!"

Lu Yao responded and left the office with his head hanging low.

"Hehe, let's roll it up. I'm determined to win this year's recruit skills competition!"

Zhang Zheng's eyes widened, revealing his excitement.

Old Ge glanced at him sideways but didn't say anything.

The two had a clear division of labor, and Lao Ge was also very mindful of boundaries.

In terms of training, Zhang Zheng has the final say, so Lao Ge won't say a word. Even if he makes a suggestion, it will be before the order is given.

Zhang Zheng was the same way. In terms of ideological and political education, as long as the general direction was correct, Zhang Zheng never cared about the details of Lao Ge's work.

This is why the two have maintained a very good relationship despite working together for so long.

Do not overstep your authority, and do not seize power.

Lu Yao left the office looking completely dejected.

When he arrived at the barracks, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Zhang Zheng's meaning is very clear: all officers and soldiers in the company must be required to participate "voluntarily"!

voluntary!

Moreover, Lu Yao couldn't expose Zhang Zheng, the "culprit," which gave him a real headache.

"Chen Nian, Chen Nian, it's only the second day, why are you already going all out? Are you just messing with me?"

"You've enlisted twice, so just stay put, wait three months, and go back to your old unit. Why are you torturing us like this!"

Lu Yao muttered to himself.

"Yao'er, did you get scolded?"

Yue Jun, the squad leader of the third platoon, first squad, had somehow blocked Lu Yao's path.

"Oh! That's not true!"

"Then why are you hanging your head like that? Come on, let's go over there and have a smoke, then tell me what's going on!"

Lu Yao was pulled to the toilet by Yue Jun.

"What's wrong? Why are you still so listless?"

Yue Jun is from Harbin, and he speaks with a strong Harbin accent.

Lu Yao was taken aback, and an idea came to his mind.

I was just wondering how to start the conversation, and now someone has taken the initiative to ask me.

"Brother Yue, you're like my godfather!"

"What the heck?"

Yue Jun was lighting a cigarette and didn't hear what Lu Yao said.

"Oh, it's nothing. I have to go back and work overtime. The company commander asked me to draft a document, I think it's for the regiment."

"What article? We haven't had anything major happen lately!"

When Lu Yao saw that Yue Jun had shown interest, he knew that someone had taken the bait.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's only the second day of recruit training, and one squad in our company has already started night training on their own initiative. The company commander is definitely good news material; I'm going to report it!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jun immediately felt that the cigarette in his mouth had lost its flavor.

If I could get some exposure in the group, wouldn't my chances of staying in the third generation be much greater?

No wonder Xie Fei, that lazybones, started organizing night training today; that's the crux of the matter!

Yue Jun threw the cigarette he had just taken a puff of into the toilet, then stuffed a freshly opened pack of lotus flowers into Lu Yao's pocket:

"Yao'er, thank you so much! Jun'er will remember you. Next time we go out, you order food, and Jun'er will treat you!"

After saying that, Yue Jun turned and left.

Lu Yao touched the lotus flower in his pocket, then glanced at Yue Jun's retreating figure:

"Ha, you're thanking me!"

Within minutes, the news spread throughout the entire company.

A few minutes later, all the officers and soldiers of the company gathered on the training ground in their training uniforms.

The new recruits assumed their squad leader was influenced by Chen Nian, and they wailed one after another:

"Damn it, Chen Nian, are you even human?"

"You've already enlisted twice, and you're still dragging us into this!"

"Damn it, who are you trying to kill?!"
