The new barracks of the 1st Division are located in a forest on the outskirts of New York, and it is still winter, the snow has not yet melted, and the whole forest is frozen and snowy as far as the eye can see, and it is like being in a fairy tale.

On the first day of entering the boot camp, Charles's group of recruits was taken to the training ground by a non-commissioned officer, and after the cold and wind, the recruits stood in the bitter cold for an hour, and a sergeant major wearing a cowboy hat arrived.

The sergeant major deliberately let these recruits blow a cold wind in the training ground, although these recruits entered the barracks, they were not soldiers, they were just a group of ordinary people wearing military uniforms, and they needed to be tempered to become a real soldier.

"For the next ninety days, you are all under my control, he is Sergeant Karl, my assistant, and he will take you to train in the future, as for me, I will not introduce you, because I can assure you that you will remember me for the rest of your lives. "The sergeant major did not introduce himself to the recruits, only introduced the assistants around him to the recruits.

However, his words came true, and Charles could still clearly remember Sergeant Major Wilson of the recruit company even after many years.

After speaking, Sergeant Major Wilson turned and left the training ground, handing over the recruits to his assistant, Sergeant Carl.

After Wilson left, Sergeant Carl came to the front of the recruit queue, watched the recruits shiver in the cold wind, and asked aloud.

"Is it cold?"

"Cold!"

The recruits thought they could go back to the barracks, and one by one they became excited, and finally they didn't have to blow the cold wind anymore.

"Since you're cold, then I'll warm your body well, everyone has it, and you can't eat tonight!"

A group of recruits suddenly look at me, I look at you, they are all dumbfounded, the routine of the city is deep, and the routine of the army is even deeper. They kind of got it.

............

"Hurry up and run, don't stop. ”

Carl took the megaphone and sat on the off-road vehicle to spur the recruits running on the road. If you slow down slightly, you will scold viciously in the car.

"Are you still cold?"

"It's not cold!"

"We're hot, sir!"

"Since you are hot, then I will cool you down, so that you can be cool and cool. ”

Carl said and picked up the walkie-talkie and snorted, and then a water spray truck came from behind, and there were two veterans standing on the roof of the car, holding the faucet and looking at the recruits on the road with bad intentions, and when the vehicle approached, the two veterans turned on the faucet and poured it at the recruits.

The recruits suddenly shouted and shouted, and they were poured cold water on their bodies on nine cold days, and the taste could make people want to die.

"Well, it's cool now!" Carl sat in the car and watched the recruits screaming.

However, no one answered his words, and the recruits were afraid that there would be some routine waiting for them behind, so they all learned to be obedient.

"Oh, pretend to be deep for me, don't speak, okay, if you don't speak, then add ten kilometers. ”

"Report sir, it's not cool, it's cold!"

"That's right, it's proof that you're still alive! Run fast for me, don't crawl on the ground. ”

Recruits need to be tempered and reshaped in order to retreat from the breath of the common people and become a real soldier, and the cold is just one of them.

After Carl finished speaking, he drove the car to the back of the line, ready to pick up the recruits who were lagging behind.

It's just that the backward recruits are a little far behind, hanging more than three hundred meters away from the large army, and there are still two, which makes Carl very angry.

One of these two backward recruits is Charles, and the other is called Wilder, to be precise, it's just that Charles is lagging behind, and Wilder is completely helping Charles, so he is lagging behind.

Charles has been pampered since he was a child, and then he drank in the hotel for almost three years, and then after being kicked out of the hotel, he was in a state of hunger all the time, so he was in poor physical fitness to the point of home, the worst of all the recruits, and if it wasn't for Wilder to help him now, he would have collapsed long ago.

"Oh, yes, you just developed a friendship in the barracks, yes, worthy of praise, in order to praise you for helping each other, you two add three more kilometers!"

Carl took the megaphone and looked at Charles and Wild, who were soaking wet, he wanted to add 5 kilometers, but seeing that Charles's physical fitness did not allow it, this was only 2 kilometers less.

The instructor training is very strict on the surface, but in fact, he has a good grasp of the degree, otherwise he will train this group of recruits in minutes.

"This damn pervert!"

Charles almost fainted when he heard that he had to run three more kilometers, and he had to work hard to finish these ten kilometers, and adding three more kilometers was equal to death.

"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you!" Charles gasped, glanced at Wilder beside him, and felt a little reluctant to go, even causing others to run an extra three kilometers.

"It's fine. ”

Wilson replied faintly.

Ten kilometres of cross-country travel is like a walk in the garden for him, and the cold is nothing to him, having spent every winter in the lake and in the sea since he was 10 years old.

Thirteen kilometers of the journey, by the last kilometer, Charles almost crawled to the barracks, if it weren't for Wilder and Will, he would never have finished, but he finished, he resisted the test and defeated himself. The training of soldiers is to break through the limit again and again and defeat the original self, just like a caterpillar needs to shed its shell and break out of its cocoon before it can become a butterfly, otherwise it will always be just a caterpillar.

After the recruits finished running, they regrouped on the training ground, and Sergeant Major Wilson stood back in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back and began a new lecture.

"You've only run ten kilometers, and you're like this? You're the worst soldier I've ever had, not one of them. Stand up for me, give me all your chests up, there are no soldiers in the Second Division of the Navy and Army who can't stand upright, even if you are going to fall down the next moment, this moment must be like a nail, nailed to the ground for me. ”

When the recruits heard the sergeant's words, they tried to puff up their chests, and even Charles, who was so tired that he only had his last breath, puffed up his chest and stood straight in the line like a pine.

After the sergeant major saw the recruits standing up, he asked the eight veterans to raise the flag of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the flag of the 2nd Navy and Army Division, ready to enlist and take the oath.

Every recruit must take an oath when he joins the army, and the sergeant major reads a sentence, and the recruit reads a sentence.

"I, Charles, swear: I will obey the command of the Führer, defend the constitution of the country, safeguard the interests of the country, abide by the military code, oppose all enemies at home and abroad, obey the orders of the officers to me, God bless me!"

After the oath was taken, the sergeant major looked around at the recruits standing in front of him and said loudly.

"Do you know why you take the oath after you finish the 10 kilometers?

Because people who can't even run ten kilometers are not qualified to stand on this national flag and military flag and take the oath. ”

Recruits must undergo a 10-kilometer cross-country journey before they can take the oath of enlistment, which is the tradition of the 2nd Division of the Navy and Army, whose motto is: Eternal Loyalty. Forever loyal to the Führer, loyal to the flag and the military flag.

A person who can't even run ten kilometers in just ten kilometers, and doesn't even have the will to do so, will have his loyalty compromised.

On the first day of recruits' enlistment, the sergeant major also imprinted loyalty on every recruit in this way, and at the same time made the recruits understand that loyalty must be done to the best of their ability.
