"Hey, who do you say that guy is? Not much older than us, why does it look like a bull? One of the recruits whispered to another recruit beside him.

This man is a talker, but also a curious baby, after entering the boot camp, he is very curious about everything, and at the same time quickly gets into a mess with the whole squad of soldiers.

Although sometimes the instructor didn't like this guy very much, even though they had only been in the barracks for a day, they had to admit that this guy had already made the atmosphere in the class very harmonious.

"I don't know, it should be the prince, I heard that the prince seems to be in his twenties." The soldier next to him couldn't help but respond, and at the same time fiercely envious in his heart.

Nima is also in his twenties, and he is already a prince, but what about them? But I can only stand here very hard to bask in the sun, although the sun is not too warm, and even a little cold......

"Who's speaking in the ranks?" Ma Youlai roared angrily at the team of twenty or so people in front of him.

Ma Youlai, who was already angry, thought about cleaning up these recruits' eggs, but he didn't expect these recruits to give themselves a chance so quickly.

But while reprimanding them, Ma Youlai also secretly scolded in his heart, damn, these recruits don't look at the time, the army commander and division commander came to inspect the recruit camp, these rabbit cubs are so faceless, isn't this a clear plan to let themselves be criticized?

In fact, they didn't know that the army commander and division commander were going to come to inspect the troops, but everyone had seen the guard team next to the army commander a few times, after all, the army commander often went to the troops.

It was only after they saw the commander's guard that they learned that the commander had come.

As for the division commander, there is only one officer in his forties in the entire Han Army, that is, Wang Shuqi, the commander of the Second Division, who is also the boss in charge of recruit training and logistics supply.

After all, they are all people who have trained recruits, and they have also seen Wang Shuqi, unlike these recruits, who have never seen anything.

Ma Youlai was originally very reluctant to come to the recruit camp as an instructor, because the last time he was an instructor, he lost the position of squad leader, although he was later assigned to a recruit class to be the squad leader, but that recruit class was far worse than his previous class.

Although Ma Youlai was later promoted to platoon commander, he had not been a platoon commander for two months, so he was brought in to train new recruits.

And with the lesson of the last time, Ma Youlai was very reluctant to come over in his heart, but the military order was like a mountain, and he had to come.

The team in front of him was instantly silent, and the silence made people a little frightened.

And those recruits already knew when they entered the camp yesterday that the person in charge of the training of their squad was a platoon commander, that is, a senior officer in charge of many instructors.

The majesty of Ma Youlai made these recruits dare not look at him.

"What? There is a kind of secret speech in the team, and there is no kind of standing up and admitting it? Seeing that no one admitted it, Ma Youlai continued to say with a gloomy face.

"I said that." The recruit who had spoken earlier stepped forward and admitted.

"Very well, congratulations on helping the class get their first prize, and I think they'll thank you. From now on, everyone in the class will run ten laps around the school grounds. Ma Youyou said.

"That's what I said, why should they be punished together?" The recruit questioned.

"It's good to dare to question the instructor's decision. I can answer this question to you now, the army, the emphasis is on groups, on the battlefield, if you make a mistake alone, the whole squad, even the entire platoon, the whole company may die because of your mistake alone, so if you make a mistake alone, everyone else must also be punished. As a reward for questioning the instructor, fifteen laps! Ma Youlai said with a smile, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, but only Ma Youlai knew how worried he was.

'Hum ......' Ma Youlai added five more laps with a word, which made the other recruits and soldiers also express their dissatisfaction and discuss in low voices.

However, Ma Youlai didn't care about the recruits' discussions, but stretched out five fingers: "Add five more laps!" ”

With the addition of five more laps of this sentence, the recruits below instantly closed their mouths. Even if he complained in his heart, he didn't dare to say it to his face, so this recruit squad could only honestly run circles under the pity of the soldiers of other squads.

And what happened to this squad also served as a good warning for other recruits.

And Wang Sirui, who was not far away, also saw this scene, although this is a common technique used by instructors, and it is also to let these recruits keep the concepts of obedience to orders and teamwork in mind at the beginning of the barracks, but Wang Sirui still feels that the instructor's handling method is a little too harsh.

After all, they are recruits, and this school field is almost a kilometer down in one lap, and twenty laps are twenty kilometers, when will they be able to run it? It's impossible for even a veteran to run twenty kilometers in one go, let alone these recruits?

"His name is Ma Youlai, a platoon commander of the fourth battalion of the eighth regiment of the third brigade of the second division, this kid is a capable person, but he has some anger in his stomach." Seeing Wang Sirui frowning, Wang Shuqi hurriedly explained.

"What's going on?" Wang Sirui asked.

"What else could it be? I don't want to come to the boot camp. This kid had trained a group of recruits when he was out before, but he lost his position as squad leader, and in the end he could only take three veterans to lead the recruit class. During the attack on the capital, this kid took his squad to serve as the vanguard of the entire Second Division, and at the cost of only one minor injury, he fought from west to east.

After the occupation of the capital, I promoted him to the position of platoon commander, but the position of the platoon commander was not warmed up, so he was transferred to train recruits. Wang Shuqi explained.

Wang Sirui nodded secretly while listening, too, a talented grassroots cadre, if he has this time, he must want to focus on his own troops, only in this way can they achieve greater results in the next battle.

No matter who this matter is put on, I am afraid there will be a certain amount of dissatisfaction.

And Ma Youlai's incident reminded Wang Sirui of Japan and the United States during World War II.

The Japanese always send their best soldiers to the most dangerous places, and while these people can indeed solve problems in the short term, they will kill people on the battlefield. And these dead officers and soldiers are their most elite forces.

The time required to train a good officer and soldier is far greater than the time it takes to kill a person, so in the later stage of the war, the Japanese are getting weaker and weaker, and they can no longer hold the defensive line.

The Americans, on the other hand, take a completely different approach than the Japanese, and if an officer demonstrates sufficient ability, the United States will give the officer two options: stay on the battlefield or return home as an instructor to train new troops.

If it is already thought that the officer will have the potential to become the army's rising star, then the officer has two paths: return home as an instructor, or choose to retire and stay on the battlefield.

The two countries' completely different attitudes towards outstanding officers and soldiers have led to completely different situations in the final outcome of the two countries.

During World War II, Japan was very strong in the early stage and weak in the later stage. The United States, on the other hand, was weak in the early stage and could not confront the enemy at all. However, when their officers accumulated a certain amount of war experience, they passed on these experiences to the recruits who came after, and they were constantly summing up and learning, so they became more and more courageous and stronger the more they fought.

After meeting Ma Youlai, Wang Sirui has decided to implement this plan to protect talents in advance, at least, to carry out phased protection.

"After the training of this batch of recruits is over, let him report to the military academy." Wang Sirui commanded, turned around and left the new barracks.

This is a huge plan, and it is also a plan that requires the foundation and time of the army to implement, but it doesn't matter, Wang Sirui can afford to wait now, because his troops do not have much experience in big wars, and there is still something lacking in this point.

Regarding the troublemaking recruit, Wang Sirui didn't ask more, and Wang Shuqi didn't explain.

Because the two of them basically already know each other's identities, which is the usual method used by members of the Sky Eye. While infiltrating the interior, they will also help the instructors to instill some conceptual awareness in the recruits, which in the words of later generations is all routines.

After Wang Sirui left the recruit barracks, he rushed to the construction site not far away to inspect it, compared with the regularity and seriousness of the barracks, the construction site is very lively, the workers have to talk and laugh and work according to the requirements, and even take advantage of the gap in moving bricks to run to the side to drink a sip of hot water, compared to the new barracks not far away, I don't know how much more comfortable the days here are.

And Wang Sirui was inspecting comfortably, but in the barracks, Ma Sanru received a message that made him depressed.

The news came from Li Hongzhang's henchman, this morning, one of Yuan Shikai's henchmen came to contact him, and after stabilizing the henchman, he quietly followed behind the man, but later lost it.

And that person didn't appear in the Li Mansion, he suspected that Yuan Shikai had already entered the city, or already knew that there was something wrong here, so he didn't dare to enter the city.

After learning the news, Ma Sanru, who was already worried, had a line on his forehead, and the depression in his heart increased even more.

Although it is impossible to determine whether Yuan Shikai has entered the city, he can only search when Yuan Shikai has entered the city, and after inquiring about Yuan Shikai's real estate in the capital, Ma Sanru led the patrol team to search in person, and at the same time, it also made people pay attention to the news that the inn in the capital has four people staying in today.
