Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Better to Say Than to Do
This night, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng didn't sleep well, and the sixty or so lucky ones who were not punished to return to the dormitory didn't sleep well, because they didn't know if Cao, a recruit who had just been in office for a day, would play another trick just now, but the thirty or so punished big-headed soldiers, after running thirty laps and coming back tired like dogs, stuck out their tongues, fell to the bed, and snored loudly in a moment.
But this time Gao Yuan didn't toss anymore, and he didn't say anything all night, but as soon as the chicken crowed, Gao Yuan stood outside neatly dressed and shouted, "All assemble!"
As if stung by a wasp, more than 100 GIs in the dormitory bounced up from the bed with a bang, and rushed out one by one in the loud counting.
This time, everyone arrived, and Gao Yuan only counted seventy or eighty numbers. For this speed, Gao Yuan is very satisfied, people's potential is unlimited, it depends on whether you force him, if you don't force him, don't force a certain part, you never know how good you can do.
Gao Yuan didn't know what kind of quality the soldiers in this world were, anyway, the army he saw in front of him was really too bad, and it was poor in all aspects. He planned to spend three months to change the appearance of this army, not expecting them to have much combat effectiveness all at once, at least to make them look like an army, lying up and walking, and the soldiers should have the demeanor of soldiers. He subconsciously demanded of his subordinates by the same standards he had used in his previous life to judge soldiers.
Moreover, these subordinates of their own are too thin, and they must be made strong, which is also the truth that Gao Yuan has to eat three meals a day, first of all, he must be full and nutritious, and then he can talk about other things. The sturdy figure of Helanxiong and his two entourages made Gao Yuan very envious, and more than a dozen and four people on his side were defeated and lost, which also reminded Gao Yuan from another side how weak these soldiers were.
Only when their bodies grow stronger and accumulate the corresponding physical strength, Gao Yuan can carry out his next step of military training, with their current body, Gao Yuan estimates that at the end of the day, the soldiers have to train themselves to be injured, they can't be in a hurry, take their time, anyway, they have time.
"Tiancheng, arrange for someone to make breakfast." Gao Yuan glanced at Cao Tiancheng, who was at the head of the team, and ordered. You're going to help too!"
Cao Tiancheng hurriedly ordered two people, and the three of them walked out of the queue and walked to the room on the edge of the barracks.
Sun Xiao thought that Gao Yuan was going to lecture again, but he didn't think that after Gao Yuan asked Cao Tiancheng to take someone to cook, he pursed his mouth and stood there like a javelin without saying a word, he didn't say anything, he didn't move, everyone else could only stand dry, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Gao Yuan strangely, not knowing what he was going to do.
What to do, I naturally know. This is called standing in a military posture, maintaining a standing posture, standing motionless, looking very simple, in fact, it is a special work, testing a person's physical strength, patience, and will. In modern times, the first test for all recruits after joining the army is to stand in a military posture.
Gao Yuan put on the new soldier Cao official uniform today, standing opposite all the soldiers, it is better to say than to do, he has to set a standard for all the soldiers, and set an example to convince these soldiers.
Time passed minute by minute, the sky had slowly brightened, the soldiers who didn't feel anything before were a little unbearable, from time to time someone quietly moved their feet, moved their hands and feet, but let you stand there, as long as you make a slight movement, Gao Yuan's stern gaze will sweep over, and immediately shock these people back.
Ordinary people think that if they are mixed in the queue, they will definitely not be noticed if they make a slight move, but they don't know that in this neat queue, anyone who moves a little bit is like a 100-watt electric light cannon in the dark, how conspicuous and conspicuous it is, not to mention that there are only 100 people, it is a thousand people, and he can be easily singled out.
Under the pressure of Gao Yuan, no one dared to move a little, last night, those people ran thirty laps, the lessons of the past, how can they repeat the mistakes of the past.
In the queue, the people who were in poor health were already sweating profusely, and before, they had never thought that standing like this would also make people stand like this. It was Sun Xiao, who also felt a little unbearable at this time, his legs were as heavy as lead, looking high, but he was still the same as at the beginning. Sun Xiao stood at the front of the team, closest to Gao Yuan, and could see it most clearly, from the beginning to the present, except for the rotation of his eyes, no part of Gao Yuan's body had shifted in the slightest.
The aroma of steamed buns was already coming from the room, Gao Yuan silently calculated the time in his heart, about an hour later, he was quite satisfied with the performance of these soldiers, although weak, but he could still bear hardship, this is the most important thing. It may also be that the people of this era are far more resilient than their original era. Seeing that the eyes of many people in the team had begun to loosen, and they gritted their teeth tightly, obviously holding on, Gao Yuan knew that the heat was almost over, and it was impossible to ask them to eat a fat man in one bite.
"Disband, get ready for dinner!" Gao Yuan finally spoke, as he spoke, he heard a sigh of relief, a person making this sound is nothing, inaudible, but more than 100 people took a breath at the same time, and the movement was big, and then Gao Yuan saw that more than 100 people were almost paralyzed at the same time, sitting on the ground, constantly rubbing their legs, even Sun Xiao was no exception.
Laughing secretly, Gao Yuan shook his head, strode towards the room, the fresh white flour steamed buns were steaming, the vegetable soup in the cauldron was filled with a refreshing aroma, and the two soldiers who were temporarily acting as the gang were scooping the vegetable soup while scooping the big bucket, and at the same time were looking at the companions who were in the center of the field with sympathetic eyes, their luck was really good!
Gao Yuan walked over, carried a large bucket in one hand, strode to the center of the field, and put the bucket on the ground, Cao Tiancheng held a basket with two hands, the white-flour steamed buns in it were full of aroma, and the other two soldiers walked over with five large baskets of coarse porcelain bowls.
"Stand up, line up!" Gao Yuan shouted loudly.
With a bang, all the soldiers stood up, although their legs and feet were still sore, but the fragrant steamed buns and vegetable soup were still attractive enough, and a pair of eyes were staring at the food in front of them, and Gao Yuan could even hear them swallowing saliva.
"Sun Xiao came over to help!" Gao Yuan said, "Other people, according to the queue, come over one by one to receive food, no queue, no pushing, no talking, but if there is a crime, don't think about eating!"
Sun Xiao stepped over, stood beside Gao Yuan, and picked up the big scoop with Cao Tiancheng one by one. The soldiers walked one by one according to the queue, first took the washed bowls and chopsticks from the hands of the two men, and then walked to Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng, the two of them added soup to them, and Zuihou walked to Gao Yuan's side, and Gao Yuan personally handed over the steamed buns to them.
"Xie Bingcao!" Yan Haibo was the first to come over, and after taking the steamed buns, he straightened up and said loudly.
With Yan Haibo at the beginning, every soldier in the back will say a word of thank you Cao loudly when he takes over the steamed bun.
Yan Haibo is a caring person, while handing out steamed buns, Gao Yuan looked at the young man who was standing on the side and gobbling up, he was not very old, he may be about the same as himself, but he was a thoughtful person, if he could perform in training in the future, he could consider promotion. Now both of them are headed, Cao Tiancheng has no thoughts, Sun Xiao looks a little wooden, both of them are stuffy characters, but their minds are not active enough.
Cao Tiancheng brought a bowl of vegetable soup over and handed it to Gao Yuan, "Bing Cao!"
Gao Yuan nodded, reached out and took a steamed bun, "Sun Xiao, Cao Tiancheng, you two come here."
Holding the steamed buns with vegetable soup, Gao Yuan walked to the side, squatted on the ground, and asked the two of them while eating, "Have today's things been arranged?"
Gao Yuan squatted down, and Sun Xiao and the others could only squat down, otherwise they would be standing, but they were talking to Gao Yuan condescendingly. The three of them squatted together, Cao Tiancheng said: "It's all arranged, you can work after eating, I divided the people, a team of people went up the mountain to cut thatch, and when they came back, they repaired the roof, a team of people rammed earth to repair the wall, and a few people in the team knew a little carpenter work, so let them repair the doors and windows. Each team is headed by a gang leader."
"Well, where are you, Sun Xiao?"
"Bing Cao, most of the people have been arranged by Lao Cao, there are not many people left on my side, today I will let them do one thing, that is, take out all the weapons in the team and re-polish them, and they must be the same as new." SUN Xiaodao.
"Okay, that's pretty much it for today. You've done a good job, by the way, I want to ask, I saw a few more pairs of bows and arrows yesterday, do we have a dedicated archer in the team?"
"Yes, there are five of them!" Sun Xiaodao: "Bing Cao must know that it is really difficult to train a qualified archer, and we only have five people in a team."
"I know, that's it, I see that the strings of the bow are soft, basically useless, you take some time, go to the county arsenal, ask them for some strings, re-twist, if some weapons are unusable, they will also be replaced."
"Yes, I see!"
Gao Yuan said as he nibbled on steamed buns and drank vegetable soup, and after speaking, the meal was solved, "Today's matter will be presided over by you, and I have some other things to do."
"Understood, Hyosa!"
Watching Gao Yuan turn around and return to his room, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng glanced at each other, and at the same time shook their heads with a wry smile, the previous carefree days were getting farther and farther away from them.
"It's not bad, at least follow Gao Bing Cao, don't worry about food or clothing, by the way, Lao Cao, you have to hurry up and get the new military uniform back, my body, I have already stabbed it, and I can't cover up the ugliness." SUN Xiaodao.
