Yang Huairen's original plan was to eliminate those who did not perform well in training until two months later, and to remove those who did not perform well in training from Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei.

In fact, you don't have to wait that long, after half a month, there are already people who can't train normally due to physical factors, or injuries, or illnesses.

There were quite a few of them, nearly two thousand, and the vast majority of them were the original forbidden army.

It's easy to eliminate these people, but when it came time to make a decision, Yang Huairen still hesitated, it was too difficult to make such a decision.

A decision made by the superior may be as simple as a sentence, but it is likely that because of this simple sentence, it will affect the lives of others.

Moreover, the recent training has been good, and the morale of the soldiers has also been significantly improved, and at this time, if 2,000 people are eliminated, Yang Huairen is also afraid that it will have a bad impact on the morale of the remaining soldiers.

But what's the use of not letting them go, letting these people stay? Among these people, many of them are indeed too old, many of them are in their forties, and they are about to run for fifty.

The reason why they stayed in the forbidden army was also related to the recruitment system, in fact, their age and physical strength could not keep up with the training content formulated by Yang Huairen, let alone let them go to the battlefield in the future?

There are also some who are really not physically good, and they are not the material for being a soldier at all, and they are also persisting at the beginning, but after a long time, the high-intensity training volume makes them unbearable.

The most obvious manifestation is that they will get sick frequently, and it is not a serious disease, but because of the fatigue of the body that causes continuous weakness, often low-grade fever.

Although these people are in good spirits and insist on attending training for fear of being driven home, they do so in a way that is basically the same as chronic suicide.

Really ignore them and let them take their illness to participate in training, the damage caused to their bodies will be permanent and irreversible, and Yang Huairen doesn't want to see them burn their bodies in order to persevere.

People are different, many things can't be forced, if it's not suitable, maybe if they are eliminated now, they will be sad and sad, but in the long run, it is actually good for them.

So Yang Huairen gradually figured out that instead of letting these people stay in the camp and continue to abuse their bodies or do nothing, it was better to let them go home and start a new life.

However, in terms of method, it is different from the so-called "get out" mentioned before, let them leave Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei, not to drive them away and let them return to their hometown to be embarrassed, but to use a new way, according to Yang Huairen, called honorable discharge.

This word is very new and sounds good, but those soldiers who are about to be honorably discharged from the army do not feel that leaving the forbidden army is an honorable thing.

Yang Santai is one of them. He was in his early forties, dark-skinned, and strong-looking, but when he was young, he had fallen to the root of a disease, arthritis.

I usually take it to the barracks, and I don't feel anything, it's not a cold day in the cold winter, and his arthritis won't attack very badly.

The long-distance running training during this period may have been too intense, and his arthritis just attacked, and it was out of control, and every time he stepped on his leg, it hurt like a heart.

His hometown of Jingxi Road, a native of Fengfu County at the foot of Mount Tai, came to the capital as a teenager and entered the forbidden army, and this stay is more than 20 years.

What made him even more reluctant to leave was because he was the eldest son in the family, and when he first came out to be a soldier, everyone in the village looked down on his family.

This is to return to his hometown, I am afraid that others will scold him for being driven back, and from then on, not only himself, but even his whole family will not be able to raise his head and be a man in the village in the future.

On this day, Yang Huairen was taking a lunch break in the big tent, and there was a sound of scolding outside the tent, Yang Huairen came out and found that it was Yang Santai who was begging the guards in front of the big tent to see General Yang had something to say, and the guards refused him on the grounds that the general was taking a lunch break.

Yang Santai refused to leave, and the guards began to scold him loudly.

When Yang Huairen saw him, he knew why Yang Santai came to him at noon. Yesterday, during the cross-country long-distance run, Yang Santai had an arthritis attack halfway through, his legs couldn't be straightened, and his knee joints were swollen, and he was carried back.

In the past few days, there have been rumors in the camp that two Yang generals are going to drive those who can't adapt to high-intensity training home, Yang Santai couldn't hold his breath, so he came to Yang Huairen to plead.

Yang Huairen also thought that if he really wanted to let a group of people go home from the army, the ideological work would definitely not be able to escape, since this was the case, then start with Yang Santai.

After letting Yang Santai enter the big tent, Yang Santai fell to his knees and said loudly, "Ask the general to give Xiaodi another chance!" ”

Yang Huairen saw his right leg kneeling on the ground, still trembling, and knew that after his arthritis was committed, it would not be possible to get better in one day.

So he got up to help him up, but this Yang Santai had a very good brain, and he knelt on the ground stubbornly, but he refused to get up.

"It's hard for me to do this."

Yang Santai's eyes were red, and he looked very sad, "General, I beg you, for the sake of whether we are our own family or half a fellow countryman, you will give me another chance, I will definitely be able to complete the next training, and I will never hold everyone back." ”

Yang Huairen is not a hard-hearted person, and he is a little soft-hearted when he hears this, but he knows that if Yang Santai's ideological work cannot be done, and more people who are not suitable to stay in the barracks will be persuaded to retire in the future, and there will be no way to carry it out.

You can't really sweep so many people out of the house arrogantly, firstly, it seems that Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei are too impersonal, which chills the hearts of more soldiers, and secondly, let these people leave with resentment, for fear that they will cause something else when they return to their hometown, which will ruin the reputation of the forbidden army.

But doing ideological work is not something Yang Huairen is good at, and fooling this kind of thing can't be counted. And when I talk to them about the big truths with these rough men, they can't listen to them, and if they listen to them, it's hard to understand them thoroughly.

"Yang Santai, did you come to me today just to get close?"

"Little bottom doesn't dare. Xiao Di just doesn't want to be driven home so gloomy and teach others to laugh at Xiao Di. ”

"You can't say that, let you go home, it's not like being kicked out in disgrace, didn't I say it, this is called honorable discharge, even if you leave the barracks, you will leave with honor.

You have also been a soldier in the forbidden army for more than 20 years, you have fulfilled your responsibility, and now you are letting you go home so that you can enjoy a better life. ”

"I don't want to go home, it's going to be a shame."
