Chapter 612: Misunderstanding cleared
No one expected that the sea, which seemed to be quiet, would become the first enemy they had to face since their expedition.
The enemy unceremoniously gave them a dismount, and almost all of them were defeated in this battle.
However, the truth is that at this moment, the sea is not angry.
For seafarers, such an environment is already good.
For them, they have reached the conditions where they can go out to work alone without any protection.
Although the boat is still very bumpy, up and down, I still have to say that the weather is really good.
At this moment, let alone eating, even if you drink saliva, you have to vomit.
It wasn't until the evening, when the fleet docked at Island No. 1 and dozens of transports were connected together, that it was a little better.
The wind and waves are calm, dozens of battleships are connected together, and the biggest effect is that the soldiers can get out of the cabin at this time and breathe fresh air.
This is undoubtedly the greatest blessing for the soldiers who have been bored for a day.
But the problem was that the deck capacity was limited, and it was impossible to get everyone out of the cabin, so they had to go to the deck in batches to relieve themselves.
Xue Rengui sat on the deck, with his back against the cabin, holding a water bag in one hand and a rice ball in the other.
"I admire you so much!" Xu Liang stretched out his thumb to Xue Rengui, maybe he was still a little disdainful before, but after this day's trip, plus the previous hurry, Xue Rengui's student soldiers did not fall behind, even if they didn't fall behind, they didn't vomit on the boat today, and they are still eating in a big gulp.
"What's there to admire?" Xue Rengui shook his head, drank his saliva, and continued: "We practiced when we were in the military academy. β
"What? Can this also be practiced? Xu Liang showed an expression of disbelief, but it was obvious that their conversation had attracted the curiosity of the surrounding soldiers.
There are their platoons, and there are other platoons, anyway, everyone is not only disdainful of the student soldiers who came out of this military academy, but also with a trace of curiosity to inquire about him.
"What's so strange about that? I'd rather not practice and suffer less. Xue Rengui had a fuss on his face.
"Platoon commander, tell me about it, how do you train you in the military academy." Xu Liang became interested in an instant, and sat next to Xue Rengui, although his stomach was still a little uncomfortable, but if he didn't find a topic, it would be even more uncomfortable.
Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he looked at everyone: "If you want to listen, one person eats a piece of cake, and I will tell you whatever you want to hear after eating. β
Forcing people to eat when they can't eat is undoubtedly a cruel decision.
But at this time, it is a cruel decision not to force them to eat.
At the end of the day, except for one meal in the morning, the soldiers did not eat much for almost the whole day.
If there is no combat mission, it will be over to endure it.
But now I don't know what the situation is on the Goguryeo side, maybe they need to face high-intensity combat as soon as they land, and in this case, if they don't eat much for two or three days, what will the soldiers do to fight?
A grassroots commander does not just need to lead the troops to charge into battle and make meritorious achievements.
It is also necessary to use all means at other times to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops at all times, which is the standard of a qualified commander.
During the day, Xue Rengui also forced them to eat some, although the effect was there, but it was not good, and they vomited soon after eating, and now it has been half an hour since the boat was stopped, and the soldiers felt better in their stomachs, Xue Rengui once again had the idea of letting them eat.
"Platoon leader, don't say it's a cake, now you just put a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of me, and I can't eat it, why don't you talk about it first, I'll eat it later?" Xu Liang shirked with an embarrassed face.
Others nodded in agreement, the first time they went to sea on a boat, they hadn't practiced before, how could they recover so quickly?
"A small business, no credit!" Xue Rengui shook his head and said with a smile.
Your sister's small business, is this special meow called business?
Many people secretly scolded in their hearts, and they were more resistant to eating this problem in their hearts.
But it was useless to resist, because they were more curious about their military school life.
They are curious, why do they go to study for four years and come out to become an officer? They can understand studying and becoming an official, but after all, there is a imperial examination, and the premise of being an official is to be able to pass the examination, but from this military school, I have never heard of the examination.
And these people don't have any combat experience, and they are officers as soon as they come out, aren't they afraid that these people will take the soldiers to death?
So, the psychological effect of curiosity killing the cat was once again reflected, and someone had already begun to take out the cake from the body and eat it in one bite.
Anyway, now that the ship is not so shaky, and the stomach feels better, and it is a little uncomfortable to eat something, and if they can get the news they want to know most, it seems that this deal is also quite a good deal.
At least, they also need to know whether Xue Rengui is a showman, right? After all, they were the ones who were going to die next.
"We call this anti-vertigo training." Seeing that the soldiers had eaten, Xue Rengui was a little relieved and began to talk about some things in the military academy.
Regarding the matter of military schools, there are still many people in the outside world who misunderstand them.
However, in fact, military cadets are not the same as the outside world imagines, and their theoretical study time and military training time each occupy half of their time, and in either aspect, they are developing by relying on actual combat.
That's why they were officers as soon as they came out, that's why they had four years of military age as soon as they graduated.
During their studies at the military academy, they also belonged to the military, although they did not have a military rank.
"Actually, it's not that difficult, it's more disgusting, and then a big pool is filled with water, and then put a small boat, a few people sit on it, and the others stand in the water, and start to shake the boat at will, as long as it doesn't capsize, you can do it as you want, and the feeling of sitting on it at that time, it's called a sour, compared to today's one, this is simply pediatrics.
But we only lasted half an hour at a time, and at most it was less than half an hour, not all day as it was today. Xue Rengui began to speak.
"You still practice this thing at the military academy? Isn't it just for reading? β
"Reading is reading, training is training, do you think military academies are the four major academies? Although the military school is a school, it is also an army, and the curriculum of our class is to read and study in the morning, military training in the afternoon, and class summary in the evening. Xue Rengui asked the goods at a glance, did you really think that the military academy was to study? Too naΓ―ve, right?
All sorts of questions come one after another, one after the other without repetition.
And Xue Rengui also kept his previous promise, and he answered all the questions they asked that did not involve confidentiality.
The first is to bring him closer to the relationship between him and the soldiers, so that the soldiers can get to know him through chatting, get familiar with him, and at least let people know that although he lacks actual combat experience, military experience is actually not lacking.
The second is to convey to the outside world that the cadets are not what they imagined, which can be regarded as a propaganda for the cadets.
And this approach is not without effect, and the effect is indeed as Xue Rengui expected.
Through chatting, these soldiers have a new understanding of military cadets.
Let them know that although the military cadets are also studying, what they are learning is not the administrative or commercial content of the four major academies, but all the content about military affairs.
And they also know that there is a special unit in the military academy to train them, and the composition of that force is very complicated, and they will also use various methods to give you all kinds of problems, if you can't get their approval, then you can't even control the unit itself.
And this consequence will directly affect whether you can graduate and whether you can enter the military for official service.
If Xue Rengui didn't say it, no one would know at all, in fact, before that, he already had two and a half years of experience in leading troops, one year as a platoon commander and one and a half years as a company commander.
And those soldiers in the military academy are not soldiers like them, subject to the concept of hierarchy, even if they are dissatisfied, they will be superficially obedient.
Because they are authorized, they can do whatever they want, and they don't have to care about military regulations or anything like that, just a group of soldiers who have no jurisdiction and directly hand them over to manage.
Being able to manage these people well and subduing them also proves that your ability to lead troops is still good, and if you don't manage them well, it can only mean that your ability in this area is insufficient.
In other words, after Xue Rengui's words, the soldiers had a new understanding of the cadets.
Except for their lack of actual combat experience, in other aspects, their current ability completely surpasses that of their previous platoon commanders and company commanders.
In order to avoid major problems, these people were appointed as platoon commanders first, and there were more experienced company commanders and old platoon commanders on top, so that when there was a problem, it would be stopped immediately, so as to avoid greater losses.
On the other hand, in fact, there are not many people in the military who have no experience in war?
They feel that they are veterans, aren't Xue Rengui and them old officers?
