Chapter Seventy-One: Lead by example
Pang Jindong looked at Miria and replied, "Just because I didn't say anything!"
The morning training started on time according to Pang Jindong's requirements, and it was still a normal queue drill, but the atmosphere was faintly wrong.
When Pang Jindong gave the order to kick the right step, several senior and deputy company commanders took the lead in taking a few steps, but only heard their lonely footsteps. They looked back at their respective teams and complained in silence.
None of the recruits of the three companies moved, and their eyes fell on Pang Jindong with a sense of provocation. The law enforcement team, which had been standing nearby, rushed forward, but after a few swings of the stick, they did not make a move.
When everyone makes a mistake, you can't punish everyone, let alone one individual.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the corners of Pang Jindong's mouth twitched slightly. The recruits secretly snickered, wanting to see how Pang Jindong solved the current problem. Those company commanders felt extremely embarrassed, they had all fought with Pang Jindong for a long time, and now the recruits under their own hands were in trouble, making it difficult for them to face this old regiment commander.
Pang Jindong asked coldly: "Why don't you move!"
"Report!" With a deafening voice, Eric stepped forward.
"What's the matter?"
"I remember you said that if a unit makes a mistake, then the commander of the unit will be punished!"
Pang Jindong secretly thought in his heart: "Is it for me to punish all the company commanders? How is this possible?"
Letting the company commanders suffer some hardships could not arouse Eric's interest, he wanted more: "The first company did not obey the order in time, and the company commander was punished! Now that all the troops have not obeyed the order, then you, as the supreme commander here, should also be punished!"
Eric said, looking at Pang Jindong triumphantly. In his opinion, Pang Jindong set a trap for himself, and now he has to get in.
The tension just now added a lot of embarrassment to Eric's words.
As soon as Milia heard these words, her head "buzzed", and she looked at the recruits nervously, and then at Pang Jindong.
On the one hand, Pang Jindong did say such a thing, so he should abide by it now, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public in the future; but on the other hand, as the supreme commander here, how can Pang Jindong be beaten with a stick?
However, to everyone's surprise, Pang Jindong said with an unchanging face: "You are right, I should be punished! According to the regulations, twenty military sticks!"
As soon as she heard this, Miria and the company commanders were stunned, the recruits were also stunned, and even the law enforcement team was stunned. These law enforcement teams thought that they could pick up a good job and escape the brutal training, but they did not expect that they would encounter such a nail in just a few days. If the fake drama is really done, then the recruits will definitely not be satisfied, they have offended a lot of people, and it will be even more difficult to mix in the new barracks in the future; if the fight continues, no one is sure whether Pang Jindong will settle accounts with them in the autumn.
The problem of the law enforcement team was solved by Pang Jindong: "I believe everyone is worried that the law enforcement team will not dare to really execute me, so it is up to you to come!"
How many times, when the recruits even dreamed, imagined how they would use a stick to slap this perverted boss on the ass. But when Pang Jindong took the initiative to bring it up and said it so happily, no one dared to put his dream into reality for a while.
After a while, Eric volunteered to come to Pang Jindong's side and unceremoniously took the stick from the law enforcement team. A black man looked left and right, and a little timidly stepped forward.
The recruits whispered, unable to believe that Pang Jindong was really going to be punished.
Milia leaned to Pang Jindong's side and stumbled in a low voice to dissuade: "You ...... You're really going to get beaten?...... Are you crazy?"
Pang Jindong didn't answer, he stripped off his shirt, revealing his chest and back covered with scars, and then lay on the ground and ordered: "Do it!"
The black man with the stick did not dare to move, and looked at Eric as if asking for help. The latter was not polite, clenched the stick with both hands and hit Pang Jindong's buttocks hard.
A sound similar to that of a bullet hitting a human body echoed through the empty playground, proving how powerful Eric was. This sound from flesh and blood makes everyone's scalp tingle.
The black man also took a beating, but he was shocked by Eric's cruelty and ruthlessness, and felt compassion for Pang Jindong, so he didn't use it so hard.
Eric was shocked by Pang Jindong, with his strength, a stick just now could break a strong man's bones. However, Pang Jindong didn't move, and he didn't even snort. He tried his best and beat him down again, but he still didn't make Pang Jindong beg for mercy or show weakness.
By the time he hit the tenth stroke, Eric was out of breath, his arms aching, and sweat was running down his face. Looking at this iron-clad man, he shook his head helplessly. On the contrary, the black man had not been pushing too hard, and seemed more relaxed at this time.
Although Pang Jindong just lay there silently, all the recruits could realize that Pang Jindong was in pain. The clenched teeth and deep frowning brows, as well as the sweat dripping from the jaw to the ground, had soaked a large area of the ground, and it was all moving.
Those recruits who originally wanted to see the excitement began to have more sympathy for Pang Jindong at this time.
Miria wanted to rush over to stop the execution, but when she saw Pang Jindong's determined gaze, she flinched again. When Pang Jindong looked at her, his eyes were so profound, as if he was telling her: If his own efforts can train a strong army, then every qiē is worth it.
"Is he really a madman?" thought Eric, not so hard when he continued to fight, both because his strength was almost exhausted, and because he was impressed by Pang Jindong's strength and patience.
When he was at the Corbino Center, Pang Jindong had learned some hard qigong, which was one of the reasons why Pang Jindong was calmly punished today. That eccentric institution researches all sorts of things, including paranormal functions, but it doesn't make much progress. Pang Jindong used to be very disdainful of learning these, but today he is completely relying on the foundation left back then.
But Pang Jindong is only at the entry level, the legendary invulnerable golden bell jar and the like, maybe someone can, but Pang Jindong is absolutely not good, even Pang Jindong's teacher can't do it. The original intention of the center to train these things is simply to observe whether hard qigong improves people's physique. Therefore, at this moment, Pang Jindong can only try to reduce the harm to himself, but he cannot keep himself from being harmed.
The twenty sticks were finally finished, and Eric's hand holding the stick trembled slightly. There were already many cracks in the stick, and if you hit it a little more, it would break off immediately.
Pang Jindong's facial muscles twitched a few times from time to time, almost as if reflex, and his lower body seemed to have completely lost consciousness, as if it did not belong to him. Pang Jindong lay on the ground panting, and after a long time, he staggered up from the ground.
Milia and two law enforcement team members immediately came over and wanted to help Pang Jindong up, but Pang Jindong waved his hand to stop them.
Pang Jindong was like he had just come out of the water, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his hair had become wet. He stood there weakly, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. But it also gave people a feeling of incomparably strong, as if the collapse of the Kentucky Mountains in front of him would not make him take a step back.
Eric looked at Pang Jindong, and muttered a sentence in his throat for a long time before he spit it out: "Report!
Pang Jindong nodded: "Return to the team!"
Eric threw down his stick, looked at Pang Jindong again, saluted in a standard military stance, then ran, and finally stood up and returned to the team.
The black man was not as calm as Eric, and as soon as Pang Jindong's words fell, he almost ran away as if he had been pardoned. By the time Eric got up, he was hunched over and hiding in the crowd.
Miria took a deep breath, and her low voice was still a little ups and downs, indicating how worried she was: "You were tortured like this today, and in the future, they will be so bent on finding trouble every day, won't you have to be beaten every day?"
"No......" Pang Jindong shook his head slowly, in the same low but calm voice: "I once said that a modern army needs two spiritual pillars, and the spirit of nationalism and patriotism in it is something that our mercenaries do not have, and it is impossible to have! Now, I have found a replacement!"
"What?"
"Faith!"
"Faith?"
"Yes, the belief in starting a career together!" Speaking of this, Pang Jindong raised his voice and announced to everyone: "I am your supreme commander, and now you have all seen it, and when I make mistakes, I must also accept the same punishment, because I must take my own responsibility!
Almost without thinking, the recruits shouted together, "Sir!"
"But......" Pang Jindong dragged out his voice, his gaze swept over the faces of all the recruits, and these faces revealed their various emotions. Every recruit shuddered when they came into contact with this gaze. "Today's incident also made me realize that there are omissions in my past rules! If you are determined to put small shoes on the chief, even Superman will be beaten to death! And I believe that none of us will be as strong as Superman, even if we wear our panties outside like Superman, we are not Superman!"
Although the recruits had already speculated that Pang Jindong would say something they didn't want to hear next, the joke eased the atmosphere, and everyone laughed.
Pang Jindong continued: "So in the future, if the whole army does not obey the order again, then in addition to the responsible commander of this unit, the soldiers will also be punished, of course, not all soldiers ......" Pang Jindong smiled, and then asked suspiciously: "Do you know the law of eleven killing?"
Although the cultural level of the recruits is not very high, after all, in the Western cultural circle, the cruel discipline practiced by the ancient Roman army is more or less understood.
Pang Jindong softened his breath: "I'm not going to kill one tenth of these unlucky people, but let them be tortured with the chief! Just like today's thing, if it happens again, then one tenth of the people will lie here with me!" After a pause, Pang Jindong asked in a loud voice, "Do you understand?"
"Sir! understood, sir!"
Disbanded the team, Pang Jindong returned to his room. Several company commanders came to visit, examined the wounds and applied medicine. Fortunately, Pang Jindong's bones were not injured, but the muscle contusions were very severe, and some places had scabbed after they were broken. The whole buttocks were swollen and twice as big as usual.
Originally, Pang Jindong was reluctant to let others touch this kind of private place, but he couldn't see it at all, so he had to present it in front of everyone.
When Miria walked into the room, Pang Jindong quickly pulled up his pants almost instinctively. The movements were so fast that it was almost hard to believe that he was seriously injured. However, after the pants were pulled up, his buttocks protested to Pang Jindong with pain, and the action just now affected the wound.
Spent many years together in the jungle, and the only thing they often did was fight. Surrounded by the threat of death at any time, the human psyche will endure great pressure, so as to make some crazy actions and even lose humanity, such as brutal killing of innocent civilians. Many people were shocked by the appearance of the army of country M on the battlefield in Vietnam, but they did not know that this was the natural indulgence of human nature under such conditions without strong discipline.
In some mercenary organizations, there will be sexual immorality between male and female soldiers, which has nothing to do with love, but is just to vent desire. They sometimes abduct women from the occupied areas to commit adultery and even abuse, thus releasing their own stress.
This has never happened before in the Blood Lion Mercenary Regiment, but people pay little attention to the difference between men and women. But after Pang Jindong lived a normal life for a period of time, he often unconsciously thought that Milia was a girl.
Milia looked at Pang Jindong's embarrassed expression, pursed her lips disapprerovingly, and said mockingly: "You are very brave today!"
"Shen Yong?" is a word that makes me think crookedly?"
Miria asked strangely, "Where is it crooked?"
Pang Jindong couldn't explain some metaphors in the relationship between men and women to Miria, so he turned the topic back: "Our country's army pursues a principle, that is, the officers and soldiers are the same. Whatever is required of the soldiers, the officers must take the lead in doing ......"
