Chapter 85: Recruits on the Playground
Led by General Wang Bin, a kind of general walked out of the meeting hall. The destination they were going to was a place for more than 10,000 newly recruited soldiers from all over the country to stay.
Zhao Yu was also close behind him, although he couldn't help much, but he knew it very well. If nothing else, several of his friends in Vortex Town could be there.
Holding the staff in his hand, Zhao Yu walked last.
"General Wang Bin has really worked hard these days! Not only are you waiting for our news with trepidation, but you must also be counting the sources of those newly recruited soldiers, you must be working very hard!"
Shen Mengting, who was walking at the forefront, still looked like a pair of hands behind her back. However, halfway through the journey, she also cared about General Wang Bin beside her.
"Ah! The marshal has really won the prize, and this is what I should do. Wang Bin hurriedly bent down and bowed more respectfully.
"You don't have to see the outside like this, although I am a marshal, I am also a junior of you and Ma Liming. I sincerely hope that we can maintain a relationship on an equal footing in order to discuss the development of the army. ”
Shen Mengting's words flattered the two old commanders, and they immediately said the word 'thank you' excitedly.
"Wow, look, look! This woman is getting more and more leader-like!"
Qian Hao, who was walking in the back position, kept making a slight noise. Probably in order not to let the people in front of him hear, he also deliberately covered his mouth with one hand and twisted his neck to the side nearly ninety degrees.
Shen Jun and Chen Tianhao next to him also continued with great interest.
"yes, I still know how to win people's hearts!" Shen Jun looked like he was about to laugh.
"and when we first saw Shen Mengting, it seems that they are no longer the same person. Chen Tianhao also expressed his opinion.
"That's it! At the beginning, I was still a girl! But now!" Qian Hao laughed with bared teeth, and his facial expression was about to bring out a lewd feeling, "Now it's extremely mature!"
"She's the generalissimo of a country now!, how can she use a little girl as a comment!" Shen Jun continued to laugh 'hehe', and from time to time he stopped grabbing his frizzy hair.
Looking at the 'laughing and playing' of the three big men in front of him, Zhao Yu felt a sense of loneliness. He wondered when he would be able to joke with his friends so normally.
But the reality tells that Zhao Yu is not a person who goes all the way with Qian Hao, and he is not very good at integrating into that circle. The ones who really belong to him are actually those friends in Vortex Town.
"Well, I hope to meet them and have a good chat with them. In that case, at least it won't be so lonely!" Zhao Yu unconsciously raised his head and looked at the blue sky.
After walking for about ten minutes, they were led to an empty playground. The playground is supposed to be thousands of square meters in size and was once used as a parade area for soldiers.
The playground was already full of soldiers, but they weren't lined up, just loose bazaarmen.
"They are ......," Zhao Yu's heart suddenly had doubts. He was about to ask, but when he thought of his humble status, he chose to remain silent.
However, if Zhao Yu doesn't ask, others will definitely help ask. No, Qian Hao opened his mouth wide and shouted out the word 'ah', "What's the situation? So many people are standing there?"
"Ahh
"......Ahh
"Yes! They're the recruits we've recruited this time. Now, our Colonel dedicates hours at a time to training them. ”
Although General Wang Bin said it vividly, judging from the actual observation, the 10,000 recruits did not show much bravery.
"Really?" Shen Mengting raised her waist, which was already very straight, as if she was even bent backwards a little, "It's good to have practice, I believe that they will definitely become a qualified recruit in time." ”
After that, Shen Mengting hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and put on a smile that seemed to be squeezed out. In fact, she is also very aware of the grade of those soldiers, so she is not ready to force anything. After all, a fairly high percentage of those people are the type that can fail even the assessment of junior occupations.
This is the reason why Shen Mengting is not angry at all. Otherwise, with the loose and lazy state bars of the soldiers currently gathered on the playground, she would have angrily demanded that they stand until they were full of energy.
"The Generalissimo said it politely, I know that they have not yet reached the level of soldiers, but I believe that with our efforts, we will definitely transform these more than 10,000 people into talents. General Wang Bin said bluntly.
"I understand this, and I support you very much. ”
"Okay......! After all, your story has already spread to them, and they have been clamoring to see you!" General Wang Bin's arm moved, almost parallel to the ground. The target he was referring to was naturally the 10,000 recruits in the playground in the distance.
"Hmm, do you want me to go over and say something?"
"Marshal Shen! you should go and say something. After two great victories against Sauron, you are now a hero in the hearts of many soldiers! Both veterans and recruits recruited from all over the country worship you as a god. So I'm sure that if you go and say a few casual words, it will be better than the education of those colonels and lieutenant colonels for hours!" Ma Liming made a 'please' gesture directly to the front. Although he didn't have any expression at all, he could sense that the words just now were completely from his heart.
"Oh, you two old generals, that's too exaggerated! I never want to be regarded as a god, I just want to be a leader who guards the country. Shen Mengting casually waved her hand in front of her. However, although she kept releasing words of resistance, in fact, there was a little smile on her face.
"Even leaders should come forward and say something!"
"That's right, you can also let the recruits know what our generalissimo is. ”
"That's right, just go up and say something! Anyway, if there is any action in the future, you have to give them orders directly. Even Qian Hao was agitated, and kept pushing and shoving forward.
Shen Mengting looked at everyone, and finally nodded, "Okay! Then let me say something." ”
After Shen Mengting agreed, General Wang Bin quickly ran forward. It seemed that she was going to communicate with the extremely colonel present so that Shen Mengting could step forward to speak.
After about a few minutes, when General Wang Bin came running again, he just smiled and nodded. Of course, by his side, there is also a general with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
He nodded at Shen Mengting, and ordered 'Go to the front steps of the playground' and other words.
Shen Mengting naturally walked forward with her head held high, and the two hands behind her back never let go.
Looking at Shen Mengting's distant back, Zhao Yu felt that the temperament she revealed was getting farther and farther away from herself, "She has really become a real leader!" Zhao Yu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Officially walked to the playground, but the recruits who were talking about it in three or two ** did not notice the arrival of several generals at all. They didn't really look like soldiers, like some market vendors, laughing and talking with each other in the open area.
After Zhao Yu approached the playground, he began to search for any companions he knew. Unfortunately, there are so many recruits on the playground that you can't find a familiar face in them.
Helpless, Zhao Yu could only obediently continue to follow Shen Mengting until he came to the front of the playground.
At the very front of the playground, there is a raised stone staircase like a ring, which is rectangular in shape, and the area is about a dozen square meters. Needless to say, this stone staircase must be used by generals to stand on a high place and speak on weekdays.
Under the leadership of a lieutenant colonel, Shen Mengting and all the generals went up the stone steps together, including Zhao Yu, of course.
Although it is a world that looks like a ring, it is not very high, and it is only about two stories high. However, as long as there is a station above, the group of soldiers standing on the playground below is almost unobstructed.
Zhao Yu habitually padded his toes slightly, but then he saw the black head below, and then returned to his normal standing posture.
Presumably, the group of recruits on the playground had already seen a group of generals coming to the front stone platform! Still, there was some faint muttering.
The lieutenant general, who was subordinate to them, opened his throat and shouted, "Ahem...... Cough...... Now, the generalissimo Shen Mengting in our barracks, as well as a group of leaders, have come to watch you at this moment. So, please all line up now. ”
In an instant, there was a loud discussion on the playground. Perhaps the soldiers thought it was just an ordinary high-ranking general who came to inspect, but now they were told that it was Shen Mengting, the supreme leader of the army, who had come in person. This extreme contrast made the soldiers seem to be about to enter crazy mode.
The noise continued to rage in the playground until a colonel stepped forward and raised his arms, but kept pressing down, and the sound was much quieter after all.
With the Colonel's continued efforts, he gradually calmed the uneasiness in the playground, thus quieting the surrounding noises.
Now that the soldiers on the playground were quiet, the colonel lowered his arms and began to proclaim with his chest straight: "What's the matter, everyone? Aren't you usually shouting to see our country's hero, Generalissimo Shen Mengting? Now that she herself has come, do you still make the appearance of a deputy hanger? Do you want the generalissimo to see you in such a chaotic situation?"
The colonel's words were very effective, and when he turned around and the generals gave a smile, many soldiers began to line up consciously.
I could perceive that they were really new recruits who had just arrived at the barracks. Probably because they are not familiar with each other, or because they lack the necessary training on weekdays, they all seem to be flesh particles that have collided with each other, and they can't form a decent formation next to each other. In addition, there are so many of them that they are almost turned into a huge area of flesh.
Seeing this, Shen Mengting began to shake her head constantly, and she also commanded the words 'forget it'. She spoke directly to the colonel who had given the order earlier, as if she were being blown by a fierce wind.
The words they exchanged were very vague, but Zhao Yu could hear that it was a request to issue an order to stop the soldiers from lining up indiscriminately.
The colonel was more attentive, and within a few seconds of Shen Mengting's mouth, he nodded and waved an arm at the soldiers in front. Immediately after, a loud roar rang out.
"Alright! Right now, your Marshal Shen Mengting has something to say!" The direction he faced after turning around was also Shen Mengting standing in the center.
Shen Mengting walked forward very willingly, and after bowing to the colonel, she officially faced the more than 10,000 recruits in the audience.
During this period, there was a large burst of cheers. Zhao Yu can really intuitively feel how much they worship your female marshal in front of them!
Unconsciously, Zhao Yu was also brought in by the whirlpool of emotions. His breathing quickened, and the staff in his hand tightened his grip even closer.
"It's really popular!" Qian Hao, who had been standing in the back, began to joke, this person seemed to be extremely uncomfortable if he didn't say a few words in a few minutes.
"Yes, yes! She's a hero now. Shen Jun couldn't help but tilt his head, and his eyes seemed to be about to turn up. However, the actions he made did not mean to dislike at all, on the contrary, he still had a lot of admiration.
"Ah, Sister Mengting is a hero!Hero!" Jiang Jingwen directly clasped her hands together, and her widening eyes shone like crystals from time to time.
Shen Mengting is not only the glory of the country, but also the core leader of their small group. It is precisely because of her existence that extremely irrelevant characters such as Qian Hao and Chen Tianhao will come together to do something great.
"Today...... I'm standing here!" Shen Mengting had already begun to speak, she always straightened her chest, and her momentum could be described as amazing.
It is also strange to say that the atmosphere that was already a little boiling gradually turned into a quiet atmosphere in some time after Shen Mengting spoke. Even, compared to what the colonel had just ordered, it was much quieter.
Every soldier on the playground was watching Shen Mengting, even though they didn't even line up in formation.
"It's a great honour for me to be here. I believe you all know why you are standing here!" Shen Mengting always kept speaking in a heavy manner, she did this in order to arouse the emotions of the soldiers at all times, "Not long ago, were you still ordinary people in various towns? But now, you have stood in the Yokoga military camp, the place where the fate of our Saran Kingdom is remembered. ”
"Perhaps, you never thought that you would stand here one day, but in the end, you chose to take on the responsibility of defending your country. I want to say to you, 'You guys are so good!'" In the moment of speaking, Shen Mengting directly stretched out an arm, accompanied by a thumbs up gesture.
She just gave a thumbs up to all the soldiers on the playground. Although they are still far from reaching the appearance of a soldier in Shen Mengting's heart, they should be respected in any sense because they have the courage to sign up for the army and have no stage fright in the face of such a powerful enemy.
