Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Barracks Are Another Kind of Paradise
(2nd Update)
The order to stop the exercise also reached the front line of the confrontation between the Red and Blue Army, and after being slightly stunned, everyone either leaned on the trees next to them to support their soft bodies, or simply fell directly to the ground, spread their limbs, and breathed in a big breath of fresh air, as if they had experienced a ghost gate.
The two sides were still tense a second ago, fighting each other's life and death, and then they shook hands and made peace, talked and laughed happily, and they helped each other out of the exercise ground, and in this way, the tense atmosphere was swept away, and the scene of the red and blue troops marching together was somewhat comical.
According to Ye Kai's instructions, all the troops participating in the exercise, including the "killed" soldiers, should return to the unit as soon as possible and assemble as soon as possible, and after inspecting the personnel of the headquarters, they should be evacuated in an orderly manner.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the first batch of troops participating in the exercise had returned to the barracks, and the follow-up personnel arrived one after another, and at about one o'clock in the morning, the slow-moving baggage troops also returned to the initial starting point.
In less than twenty-four hours, everyone was like experiencing a nail board, exhausted physically and panting, and didn't even have the strength to complain, for these recruits who had been in the army for less than four months, whether the intensity of the exercise was too strict, Ye Kai gave a negative answer, this time point was just right, let them experience the real battlefield-like test early, whether it was psychologically or physically, there was no harm.
In short, they had a preliminary experience of devilish training, and before they knew it, these people were taught a lesson by Ye Kai, or more accurately, they were taught a lesson by the almost real battlefield environment, which was related to the survival and development of the Praetorian Guard.
Forced back to the barracks with a tired body, for many people, a warm bed is all they need, however, the reality tells them that they think too simply, and they do have to have ideals.
They were greeted not only with clean drinking water, but also with hot food, from the moment the exercise was stopped, the supply department of the Praetorian Guard began to operate at high speed, and the regular food such as marching dry food could only be swallowed, and the meat and vegetables on the table were readily available, neatly put together into a four-course shape, and supplied to eight soldiers, in addition to the unlimited supply of mutton and mushroom soup on the table, the unique warming properties of mutton can help the exhausted soldiers quickly recover their strength, of course, Coupled with the hot tub where the public bath continues to supply water tonight, they have a luxurious one-stop service in front of them.
When all this appeared in front of everyone, the soldiers who had been tortured by the drill for a long time couldn't believe their eyes, and in front of such a huge difference, I am afraid that everyone would have a sense of dislocation, as if it was still hell at that time, and at this time they were in heaven.
The result can be imagined, the soldiers scrambled to the restaurant, although the share of mutton and mushroom soup is unlimited, but looking at this formation, I'm afraid it's not enough, no matter how well prepared, it can't stop more than 10,000 people from pouring it into it with open stomachs
Ye Kai, who was standing in front of the window, looked at all this with a smile on his face, if someone had cursed Ye Kai for being unkind before, then the smile on the soldier's face at this moment was a powerful counterattack.
As long as you charge ahead on the battlefield, suffer and suffer, rest assured, you will definitely get the best treatment, Ye Kai strives to create a U.S.-style logistics support system, which is a continuous multiplier for morale, although with the traditional concept of the Chinese army, it is not possible to do everything with the lives of soldiers as the primary consideration, but at least in the belly, it is necessary to keep pace with the United States-army decades later.
Ye Kai set the time for the troops to reassemble tomorrow afternoon, and all the time freed up was reserved for the participating soldiers, in addition to getting a good night's sleep, they could also take advantage of this free time to review the mid-term assessment that had just ended, and he wanted to let the soldiers get the best rest, whether it was mental or physical, both of them.
Sitting in his seat with peace of mind, the smile on the corner of Ye Kai's mouth never fell
"Knock Knock"
There was a knock on the door, Jiang Yan walked in and gently placed a document in front of Ye Kai's desk.
"Brother Liang, take a look at the results of this investigation, it really responds to what you said, the Praetorian Guard is really not clean." Jiang Yanxing didn't find a place to sit down, stood in front of Ye Kai, and said with a serious expression when he came up.
Ye Kai flipped through the investigation report after more than a dozen pages with his hand, the content was naturally a thorough investigation of the accounts of the Praetorian Guard, in order to speed up the latter's understanding, Jiang Yanxing kept adding on the side, "Sure enough, there are rats stealing oil in secret, good brother, look at it, these smuggled military expenses involve soldiers' salaries, ordnance maintenance costs, logistics supply procurement, and some miscellaneous expenses, etc., large and small add up to more than 30,000 taels."
The smile on the corner of Ye Kai's mouth slowly solidified and withered, sure enough, there is no wall in the world that rats can't get into, and the Praetorian Guards are no exception, this result is within his expectations, as for the means of dealing with it, he has already had an idea, "Brother Yanxing, although 30,000 taels is not a big number, but the impact is extremely bad, and the reputation is not good, if you connive or spare, in the long run, it will hurt the foundation of the Praetorian Guard, so this time it must be severely punished, so that you can kill one hundred!" ”
Jiang Yanxing nodded approvingly, he was still skeptical to investigate this matter before, but when the final result was put in front of him, he also had to admit the seriousness of the matter, the Praetorian Guard had just been established for a few months, and it really needed a small range of corrections, otherwise, before this sapling grew into a towering tree, he didn't know where it was crooked.
Jiang Yanxing flipped to a certain page of the report, pointed to a few lines of text on it and said: "So far, this thorough investigation has involved a total of twenty-six officers, both of which are involved in the First Association and the Second Association, among which there is also a standard level clerk and a battalion-level deputy staff officer, they are respectively"
"Anyone involved in this matter will be shot."
Ye Kai didn't listen to Jiang Yanxing report their names one by one, no matter how high or low the position was, in his eyes, they all belonged to the category of garbage, and he gave a way to deal with them without discrimination.
When he heard Ye Kai's order with murderous intent, Jiang Yanxing shuddered, and he couldn't help but say after thinking about it, "But Brother Liang, the people involved in the case are also serious, and I am afraid that this will cause criticism." However, he didn't speak for those garbage, he was purely thinking about Ye Kai, you must know that more than 20 heads landed at the same time, which would inevitably affect a series of problems such as justice and military law, which could not be solved by the Praetorian Guard alone.
"I'm afraid the War Department, the Ministry of Law, and the Imperial Court can't say it." Jiang Yanxing cautiously reminded that once this kind of thing is exposed, the idle imperial history may also participate in a book, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but anyone who is involved in military training will inevitably have a few impeachment notes.
"Don't worry about them, the Praetorian Guard was formed by order of the regent of the prison country, and it is not subordinate to any department, the military order can be self-dictatorated, and it is useless for those people to chew their tongues." Ye Kai gave his explanation.
"Isn't that a bit too urgent, and it should be severely punished, at least when the assessment is over." Jiang Yanxing added.
This sentence reminded Ye Kai that there will be the last item of the mid-term assessment tomorrow afternoon - the reward and punishment conference, this matter is not in a hurry, and it can be left for later.
"Alright, just do as you say, and let those moths sleep one last time." Ye Kai agreed to Jiang Yanxing's proposal, but as soon as the conversation changed, he continued: "However, as soon as tomorrow's meeting is over, the execution will be carried out immediately." ”
Ye Kai's attitude was unprecedentedly resolute, and he lowered his head to signal that this matter did not need to be discussed anymore, in short, what he meant was a word, he would never allow the Praetorian Guards to deteriorate even a little bit under his nose.
