[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

He's about the same age, yet he's here as a new recruit; it's really annoying.

Man B chimed in, "People from their country seem to be very competitive in everything. They say they're hardworking, but really they just want to show off."

Man A: "Ha, [illegible] always fights tooth and nail for rankings, [illegible] only cares about saving face."

Man B: "□□ seems to be a clone, their personality traits are very similar."

Man A let out a contemptuous laugh, then scoffed:

"What kind of education produces what kind of people? They're all hypocritical. They talk about loving peace, but they're just cowards!"

Man B: "You think so too? I've always thought that □□ is a hypocrite. No matter how much they smear him, he doesn't care. He's like he has no temper."

Man A: "To put it nicely, it's magnanimity; but really it's just..."

Clang!

A noise interrupted him, followed by his collar being grabbed.

You glared at him, gritting your teeth as you yelled, "What did you just say?!"

Man A was grabbed by the collar by you, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he blew a puff of smoke in your face.

"Oh, our little Asian sweetheart, are you angry?"

Blowing smoke in someone's face is either a provocation or flirting.

Either way, it only fueled your anger.

You didn't waste any more words with him. You clenched your fist and punched him in the face!

Caught off guard, and with all your strength, you knocked him off balance.

Man B was stunned by what he saw. He hadn't expected that you would actually dare to make a move when there were two grown men like them here.

After realizing what had happened, Man A spat out a mouthful of saliva, streaked with blood from the impact of his gums, and then pointed at you and started cursing.

"Fuck! You bitch, how dare you hit me!"

You glared at him fiercely: "Apologize! For what you just said."

He laughed angrily: "You hit me, and you want me to apologize? I won't! I'll say it again, you're a hypocritical bitch!"

Seeing that you didn't react obviously, he suddenly realized what was happening and smiled.

"Your bastards, everyone in your bastards is hypocritical, weak, a bunch of bastards!"

As soon as you said that, you rushed forward and started fighting him.

Actually, you're not as strong as him, so fighting him would result in completely unequal damage.

But at this moment, you are consumed by anger, and the alcohol has numbed your pain. You are like a wild wolf without reason, only thinking about tearing off the other person's flesh to vent your anger!

Despite having the upper hand, male A couldn't withstand your relentless attacks and quickly called out to his partner.

"Joseph! What are you standing there for? Grab her!"

Man B, the man called Joseph, immediately stepped forward, grabbed you, and separated you from Man A.

He was controlling you, while advising Man A, "Lake, let it go! Don't cause trouble!"

The man called Lake got up from the ground and sneered.

"Forget it? I'm not going to let that slide!"

After saying that, he walked over to you and slapped you across the face!

ch.32: You won't be happy if I really hit you.

"You woman, you have some backbone, but you really deserve to be taught a lesson."

He pinched your face, making the spot where you had just been hit even more painful.

You struggled, but were held firmly in place by the man behind you.

Lake suddenly laughed, and his hand moved down your face.

"Actually, I didn't want to hit you, but since you hit me, you have to make it up to me, right? How about..."

Before he could finish speaking, just as his hand moved down to your collarbone, you lifted your leg and hooked it around his left leg. Then, using the position where the man was holding you back, you stood up and kicked him hard in the stomach with your right leg!

You kicked him onto the table, making a loud thud!

The shouting and drinking stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps.

The first person to appear was Wang Zhiqiang. He was worried because you had been gone for so long, and he thought he had just heard your voice.

I initially thought you were talking to someone, but after hearing the loud noise, I immediately ran over worriedly.

Upon seeing you being held hostage by one man and another man preparing to hit you, he immediately stepped forward and subdued the man who was about to hit you.

Then, turning his head and seeing the red mark on your face, he immediately asked Lake with a gloomy expression.

"You...hit her?"

Faced with the more imposing Wang Zhiqiang, Lake didn't dare to utter a word.

But you wouldn't let him off the hook, and you shouted angrily at Wang Zhiqiang:

"Brother! He hit me! It hurts so much..."

Wang Zhiqiang frowned and asked you, "What's going on?"

You: "He insulted me, and he even insulted China!"

Then you picked out some of what he had said and recited them word for word.

Wang Zhiqiang listened in silence.

Wang Zhiqiang, who was originally suppressing Lake, punched him directly in the nose after hearing this.

Then he targeted a few more vulnerable spots, causing Lake to cry out in pain.

You restrain your man from going up to help, but when he lets go of your hand, you turn around and unleash a torrent of abuse on him.

This person also said bad things, and this person was also hit!

Joseph probably didn't want to hit you. He didn't fight back but wanted to stop you, so in his panic he grabbed your hair.

"stop!"

A voice came from above, and you all stopped what you were doing and looked at the person who spoke.

ghost.

Knowing the ghost's temperament, you instantly regained your senses, pushed Joseph away, and got up.

Wang Zhiqiang also angrily released Lake.

The four of you, who don't like each other, stand separately on both sides.

The area was surrounded by people, some curious and some worried. After all, causing trouble during a celebration would inevitably lead to punishment.

"New recruits, causing trouble at a time like this, are you challenging base discipline?"

The ghost spoke coldly, his usually deep and authoritative voice now filled with anger, sending chills down one's spine.

Lake immediately pointed at you: "This woman attacked first!"

The ghost glanced at him sideways: "Is this how a soldier reports?"

He's not a kindergarten teacher, and he doesn't have much patience when mediating conflicts between children. He just needs to know the reasons and the process.

Lake immediately changed his story: "Reporting to Lieutenant, it was YN who hit me first, John can testify."

The ghost didn't speak, but turned to look at you.

You faced his gaze without feeling guilty.

"Reporting to Lieutenant, it was he who insulted me and my country first, so I took action."

Lake was furious: "Then curse back! It's rude to start hitting people right away!"

You clench your fist and look at him: "I don't want to waste my breath on trash, and besides, didn't you say we're cowards? You're not happy about actually fighting?"

Lake pointed at you, about to say something, but was interrupted by Ghost's voice.

"No matter the reason, the base has rules that prohibit teammates from fighting in private!"

He walks up to you, issuing a command from above:

“yn, you started it, you need to apologize to Lake.”

Simply asking for an apology is clearly a lenient punishment.

But you looked up, defiantly meeting his gaze: "No!"

People around immediately began to whisper among themselves, seemingly surprised that you would choose to contradict the lieutenant.

The ghost said in a deep voice, "This is an order."

You shook your head, your tone firm: "He insulted me, called me hypocritical, called me a traitor, he said whatever he wanted, I can ignore him as a dog barking! But he cannot insult my country!"

When this was mentioned, your expression turned angry: "Anyone who doesn't respect my country doesn't deserve to be my teammate, and I'll teach them a lesson!"

When someone insults an individual, you may choose to back down because of your magnanimity or weakness.

But insulting the country is to stab your back, your family's back, and even the backs of all your compatriots; it is to discriminate against your self-esteem! This is something we must never back down from!

You are refuting the ghost's orders, and you are also telling everyone present what your bottom line is!

The ghost stared at you silently for a moment before speaking:

“I admire your integrity, but rules are rules. Since you are unwilling to apologize, you can only accept the punishment.”

Military discipline is military discipline, and it cannot be changed because of personal will. Otherwise, how will we manage others in the future?

Everyone has their own beliefs and bottom lines. Should we make exceptions for them? Otherwise, things will get chaotic!

You nodded, indicating you had no objection.

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

The ghost looked at Lake: "And you?"

Lake walked towards you with a resentful look on his face.
