Chapter 137: Temporary Sergeant
At five o'clock, the sky in southern France was still dark, and the east only showed a trace of fish belly white.
The plan of the day was in the morning, and although the officers of the Foreign Legion did not know this, they must have known this truth, so the painful training of the recruits began.
The training of the boot camp is divided into several stages, the first stage is recovery training, the second stage is adaptive training, the third stage is intensive training, and the last stage is elimination training.
Each stage is more intense than the other, but none of the recruits know about the above.
After doing push-ups, my whole body warmed up, I felt a slight dampness in my back, and I was already sweating.
Subsequently, the sergeant major entered the dormitory and began to inspect the housekeeping.
Similar to the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the French Foreign Legion also has housekeeping, but not folding quilts into tofu blocks.
The basic cleanliness must be maintained, otherwise more than ten soldiers will not become a pigsty, which is the same in any army.
The quilts are neatly stacked, the toiletries are neatly arranged, the cabinets are tidyly organized, the rooms are cleaned, that's pretty much it.
When the sergeant major walked into the dormitory, he saw that the bed was in a mess, and the corner of the quilt fell to the ground, and his face immediately turned black.
"All housekeeping, cleaning, must be kept neat and clean, and it must be completed within half an hour." Staring at the twelve people, the black-faced sergeant major didn't ask who it was, and directly punished it.
After the sergeant major finished the assignment, he left, ignoring the recruits who were present.
The punishment began from now on, Xiao Mubai was holding a brush, and there was laundry detergent in the basin, brushing the corner of the floor.
The dormitory should be brushed, the bathroom should be brushed, and the toilet should be brushed.
Although he had been prepared for this, Xiao Mubai still had a headache, and this was just the beginning.
The Foreign Legion, to put it bluntly, is a mercenary, but in the name of the regular army of the French army, it is a mercenary.
The Foreign Legion has always been sent to carry out the most difficult missions, and it can also be understood as cannon fodder for those who are sent to the dead.
This requires that the discipline of the Foreign Legion is very strict, and no soldier who does not obey orders will be left behind.
The first thing in the boot camp training is to train to obey orders and abide by military discipline, and the rest is physical training and individual skills.
The boot camp training is in January, and all the thorns and scum will be sent out.
The instructors of the Foreign Legion used this kind of training to force them out, leaving behind honest people.
The recruits are mixed, just like now, Xiao Mubai is honestly brushing the floor, and when there are recruits, he blows his beard and glares, and sits on the bed and does nothing.
This is an English recruit who is Xiao Mubai's current team member.
He was clearly the kind of hot-blooded young man who came out of the ivory tower of his family and came to join the Foreign Legion with a body of blood and fantasies about the army.
But now, I haven't rested well at night, so I come together in the morning to brush the floor like this, and say yes to play with guns.
"If you don't do what the sergeant chief orders, you'll be punished more, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Xiao Mubai brushed the floor and said to him solemnly in English with his head sideways.
Hearing Xiao Mubai speak, the English recruit was stunned, and then glanced out of the door.
Hearing a noise outside, it seemed that the sergeant major was about to come in, and the English recruits immediately crouched down, holding a brush and pretending to mop the floor.
This scene made Xiao Mubai stunned for a moment.
Brushing the floor, Xiao Mubai thought about when the sergeant major left.
A team of twelve, but not a single head, this is obviously abnormal, sooner or later something will happen.
Xiao Mubai knew that there was going to be a problem, just like now there are people brushing the floor and the bathroom, but no one is brushing the toilet.
There is no one to lead, everyone is doing their own thing, and the sand is scattered.
Time was running out, Xiao Mubai felt that the problem was serious, so he stood up.
"We have to choose a head and let him organize and assign tasks, and someone has to clean the toilet, otherwise we will all be punished."
Staring at the people present, Xiao Mubai said in a deep voice.
This sentence was in French, and after finishing speaking, Xiao Mubai said it again in English.
So far, communication has been a problem, one person doesn't know the other, and there is not a word between several people.
After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, he was silent for a while, as if he didn't understand, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Of the twelve team members, only Xiao Mubai is Chinese, the others are mostly white, there are a few blacks, and some Asians.
At that moment, the recruit of English descent spoke, "He is right, you have to choose a head, but the toilet must be brushed in turn, or I won't do it." ”
Then the rest thought about it, some nodded in agreement, others didn't speak, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Who shall we choose?"
At this time, a voice suddenly came, Xiao Mubai took a look, and found that it was an Asian, presumably Iranian, and he spoke English.
His words silenced the people present, yes, who to choose, some people want to be the head, but some people don't want to be managed.
"We don't need to worry about this issue, I think the sergeant major will be appointed soon." This time, it was another white man who spoke French.
Well, some people nodded, and it seems that a lot of people don't want to worry about it.
"So now, who's going to clean the toilet?" Xiao Mubai asked one last question.
Everyone looked left and right, as if they didn't want to do it, and they all hesitated.
Xiao Mubai asked again in another French, but it was still the case, and no one spoke.
Xiao Mubai is about to collapse, the language barrier is the biggest communication problem, and the team members are estranged, and they have never opened their hearts to accept each other.
Everyone is closed in their hearts and is not ready for collective life.
"Alright then, I'll be the first to go, and next time it's time to change to someone else."
In desperation, Xiao Mubai finally said this, and there was not much time left before the end.
After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, the English then raised his hand and motioned for him to be second.
Seeing that they couldn't dodge, everyone raised their hands one by one.
"Three, four, five, six...... The rest of you will come in order," Xiao Mubai passed over one by one.
Then, Xiao Mubai walked into the bathroom, holding a brush and covering his nose.
The bathroom doesn't smell very bad, but it's understandable that no one wants to clean it.
Xiao Mubai took the brush and began to brush it.
After a few minutes, all the tasks were completed, everyone was tied, and they stood in front of the bed to wait for the sergeant major to check it.
The sergeant major walked in and couldn't help but nod when he saw the recruits standing upright, their heads up, their morale high.
Later, the sergeant major walked to the corner of the wall and tried it with white gloves to see if there were any dust and water stains.
The sergeant major walked to the bathroom and stepped on the floor to see if there were any stains on the floor.
There are also flushing toilets.
Standing in front of the recruits again, the sergeant major had a calm face and an expressionless face, which made everyone's hearts uneasy.
"Who handles the toilet?"
At this moment, the sergeant major suddenly asked.
Call! suffered, could it be that he didn't brush it clean, Xiao Mubai's heart sank.
As the sergeant major asked, everyone turned their heads to stare at Xiao Mubai.
"Report! It's me. Xiao Mubai raised his head and chest.
The sergeant major immediately looked over, looked Xiao Mubai up and down, and finally looked at Xiao Mubai's face, and said in a deep voice.
"From now on, you are the temporary sergeant among the twelve."
"Makeshift sergeant?"
