Girls und War

Xia Shu thought about it and replied, "Yes."

"Did you hear that? It really is—" Ai Er turned around, "What did you say?"

"Yes, a special way to be lazy."

"You are not kidding, are you? What you are going to say next is that if you train more in normal times, it will be much easier during formal training?" Ai'er was a little unbelievable.

The other recruits also showed incredible expressions.

It was as if Xia Shu had said something extremely treasonous.

Xia Shu shook his head and said, "Every kind of training has some little tricks that can make hard training easier - at least easier than you imagine."

"Isn't it the kind of method where you deceive yourself? Like hypnotizing yourself that it's going to be over soon and you just need to hold on a little longer?" Ai'er asked again.

Natsuki answered bluntly, "It really will make training easier."

The girls now all showed expectant expressions.

46. ​​About the method of being lazy

Every veteran has a few training tips.

These tips may not be very helpful for self-improvement, but they can make training easier, to a certain extent.

For example, pull-ups and deadlifts on a horizontal bar consume a lot of energy. However, by using a "small swing" method of pulling with the body swinging and legs bent, even those who are completely unable to do it can do a few pulls.

This is a typical lazy approach.

The same applies to other things.

In fact, veterans all have some tips that they have learned through long-term training.

These tips seem like some useless trivia, so they will not be taught to new recruits.

By the time the new recruits slowly figure out how to use these little tricks, they will have become veterans.

So when Sheng asked Xia Shu, Xia Shu answered yes.

Then she showed the recruits a way to slack off while standing at attention.

"Empty your mind." She pointed to her head. "When you stand at attention, you don't have to move your body or accept orders. So emptying your mind allows you to maintain the posture for a long time."

Then she added, "But you can't do that when you're on guard duty. A sentry has to be aware of their surroundings."

"How to empty it?" Ai'er asked.

“Imagine your soul leaving your body and observing yourself from other perspectives. Then your reactions will become dull, and you’ll gradually stop feeling tired.”

When others heard this, they all felt that it made some sense.

"I always feel that this situation is very dangerous." Ai'er said after thinking for a while.

After all, when you relax your mind, you may accidentally relax your body and then your military posture will become slack.

Xia Shu nodded.

Only experienced veterans can grasp the right balance and regain their composure the moment the instructor notices it.

So it's still a lazy method that is useless.

"Isn't this just deceiving myself? Is there any way to truly relax the body?" Sheng still didn't give up.

"Don't go too far, you bastard!" Ai'er was a little embarrassed.

"Yes." Xia Shu nodded again.

"It really does!"

Then Xia Shu taught them how to adjust the force on their feet without being noticed, so that both feet could rest in turn.

And how to move the body very slightly while appearing completely still.

These activities all have a certain failure rate, and the result of failure is, of course, excessive movements that attract the instructor's attention.

Only veterans can fully grasp the mystery.

This is the secret of the old soldier's slacking off.

Xia Shu's words opened the door to a new world for them. They had never imagined that the world of slacking off could be so exciting.

"Damn it! Why didn't you tell us earlier!" Sheng said hatefully, as if he had missed a treasure worth one hundred million.

Xia Shu showed a helpless expression.

You didn't ask.

Afterwards, they immediately launched targeted training on various lazy methods.

But it is definitely impossible to master it in a short time, after all, there is still a big gap between the level of new recruits and veterans.

Then Shuibian came back and they quickly stopped their lazy training and pretended nothing had happened.

She looked at the group of guys acting suspiciously and sat down in her seat suspiciously.

"Sit down, everyone. I have something to tell you," she said to the new recruits.

"No, no! I haven't learned anything!" said the genius Sheng guiltily.

"What did you learn or not?"

Ai'er twisted Sheng's waist hard, and Sheng's face turned purple.

Shuibian looked at them with confusion and started speaking to everyone.

She asked the recruits to fill out a questionnaire about the combat areas and positions they wanted to serve in in the future.

The combat meeting that just took place was about this matter.

Of course, the recruits' preferences will not become the final choice, but will only serve as a reference target.

The final assignment decision is still closely related to the recruits' military literacy and learning ability.

Shuibian put out ten data forms in front of them one by one, waiting for them to fill them out with their fingers.

Xia Shu took a look and simply asked: What kind of combat zone do you want to be in? The fierce battle zone on the front line, the ordinary and stable battlefield, or the logistics department? What kind of combat position do you want? Leading the charge? Protecting teammates? Or deciding the outcome?

These things probably didn't mean much and would probably only serve as a reference. She finished filling them out in a few seconds and then looked at the others.

Several of them were pondering this, as if they regarded this as some important life option.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Xia Shu asked Ning, who had also finished filling out the questionnaire, "Is the robot repaired?"

Ning looked back at the parts beside the bed, shook his head, and replied, "There are some other problems. I think it's best to solve them all at once."

Xia Shu nodded.

After a while, everyone finished filling out the questionnaire.

Shuibian collected the forms and looked at them. Everyone chose the front-line combat area.

She nodded, compressed the data table, and put it into a physical storage port.

She took the small chip-like object and looked around the class.

Asked, "Where's the robot butler?"

"Are you going to take out the trash?" Shan Mei replied.

Shuibian scratched his face helplessly, as he couldn't even find someone to run errands and deliver the letter.

The sun is so strong outside, but I don't want to go out.

She was thinking about whether to call a patrol robot, and her hesitation was seen by everyone.

"I'll go." Xia Shu stood up naturally and said, "I just need to go to the store."

"Oh, that's a big help." Mizube confidently handed the chip to Xia Shu and said, "Send this to the Sergeant Major. She should be in her dormitory right now."

Xia Shu nodded, turned on the chip, and walked out of the class dormitory.

The personal information of the recruits must be physically stored in the files and isolated from the network.

Therefore, it cannot be sent directly via electronic message.

The intense sun evaporates all the moisture in the air, making people feel hot and uncomfortable.

Special training also locked the automatic temperature control devices on the recruits' clothes.

So they had no choice but to stay in class.

There was not a single person in the camp.

Natsuki quickened his pace and headed towards the Sergeant Chief's single dormitory.

47. About Master Chief

Sergeant Major Bayonet is very popular among the little girls.

Although she had a scar on her face, making her look ferocious, as a military instructor and deputy commander of the recruit company, she treated every squad leader with a vicious look.

But after spending some time together, everyone discovered that the Master Chief was actually a very good person.

She is never mean to the new recruits, only to the squad leader.

When a recruit does something wrong, he will only be angry with the squad leader.

When dealing with new recruits, she was always gentle and didn't speak loudly.

So the recruits all like her very much.

They sometimes discuss how the Master Chief got the scar on his face.

It stands to reason that girls are more concerned about beauty. If there are obvious scars on their bodies, they will definitely choose to have the scars removed by surgery.

What's more, the Master Chief's scar appears so obviously on his face.

Since the Master Chief has not removed his scar, there must be a thrilling story behind it.

Some girls speculated that the scar must have been caused on the battlefield.

This speculation was quickly passed.

The battlefield of modern soldiers is not in the real environment, but in the virtual battlefield. How can they be injured physically?

So this conjecture is not valid.

Then I guessed whether it was an injury suffered during training.

But it was quickly passed again.

Because getting injured during training is obviously a shameful thing, who would want to show it on their face for others to see all day long?

It's possible but not very realistic.

Then there were all kinds of speculations.

For example, when he was a child, he was injured by a gangster, so he was inspired to become a soldier; or because of some overwhelming hatred, he cut his own sword to express his determination; at the very least, he was attacked by an enemy assassin, leaving behind this unforgettable scar -

And so on.

All these wonderful ideas could be compiled into a book. The title of the book is "The Master Chief's Vengeance".

To be honest, Natsuki was also quite curious.

There must be some special reason why he doesn't want to treat the scar on his face.

But it’s not a good idea to ask someone about this kind of thing in person, and they may not tell you even if you ask.

So this matter will most likely remain a mystery.

Xia Shu thought about it and quickly walked to the sergeant's dormitory.

She knocked on the door, and soon a voice came from inside, saying, "Come in."

Xia Shu pushed open the door and saw the Sergeant sitting in front of the dressing table.

I don't know what I'm doing facing the mirror.

Maybe it's makeup.
