Episode 32 Whistle to the female chief

"My lord, those soldiers can't be punished unless they are punished!" Li Gensheng was in the commander's office in the barracks, leaning next to Xiang Xiaoqiang, and said cruel words in fear, "...... I have to take care of it! …… Those boys actually dared to set off firecrackers in front of their German friends, this is also too lawless! Don't you know that German friends are afraid of firecrackers? Where did this put the face of the German friends! …… If you want me to see, it's all locked up! …… What do you think, my lord? All confinement? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang leaned back in the chair, his feet were on the table, and he was playing with the lighter in his hand, his eyes glanced at him for a while, and stared at the ceiling for a while, his face expressionless.

Li Gensheng glanced at Xiaoqiang worriedly, for fear that the commander would not understand, and really said, "Then lock it up...... He swallowed and continued to bite the bullet:

"My lord, they should all be locked up! More than a hundred people are locked up! It doesn't matter if there aren't enough confinement cells, then ...... Then ......"

"So what?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang finally reacted, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Gensheng, dragging a long voice.

"Then ...... Ahem, then ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and said:

"Forget it, Gensheng, don't talk back in front of me...... I know you don't want to punish those 100 people, do you? ”

Li Gensheng was stunned, lowered his head and smiled, and said:

"Your Excellency...... In fact, it is not that the subordinates are unwilling to punish...... Mainly those brethren, who have no malice...... If you ...... because you set off two firecrackers"

Waving his hand to Xiaoqiang, interrupting him, he asked:

"In this way, Gensheng, let me ask you, if it is a group of Ming soldiers who are scared down today, will you punish those who set off the cannons? Pay attention to what I said, if the Ming soldiers were also afraid of firecrackers, they would have fallen to the ground in fear. ”

Li Gensheng straightened his waist and shook his head directly:

"That's not necessary. I will not punish. This is how soldiers joke with each other. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded:

"So, I won't punish this time."

A hint of joy flashed in Li Gensheng's eyes. Xiang Xiaoqiang continued:

"Gensheng, you remember, either punish them all or don't punish them all. It cannot be said that it is the German volunteers who are frightened, and the perpetrators must be severely punished; And it is our Ming soldiers who are frightened, and the perpetrators will not be held accountable. Be sure to treat everyone equally. Also, root, you remembered ,......"

He sat up straight, stared at Li Gensheng's eyes tightly, and said word by word:

"Not a German friend, but a German, a member, a will, a soldier. We asked them to come, not as friends, but as men. From now on, not only these things, but also diet, daily life, and other aspects must be treated equally. If the German soldiers eat one pound of meat a day, then our soldiers must be able to eat one pound of meat as long as they want to. Of course, there can be hierarchies, and the army is a place with high hierarchies. But rank can only be because of rank and position, not because of nationality and race. Do you understand? ”

Li Gensheng nodded. He was happy because the attitude of the Commander was more ideal than he had imagined.

Xiang Xiaoqiang pushed open the window, looked downstairs in the distance, and the German officers and soldiers who passed through the barracks under the onlookers of the Ming army said with a smile:

"If they want to win the respect of our Ming officers and soldiers, they can win it with excellent flying skills, superb aerial combat, solid armor operation skills, strict discipline and excellent basic qualities! If they can really show all this, at that time, they can even become gods in the hearts of our Ming officers and soldiers! If they can be with us on the battlefield, they will even become our brothers! …… But at the moment, they can only be called German volunteers. ”

"That's what my lord said."

Xiang Xiaoqiang turned around and said with a smile:

"Gensheng, do you know why I'm putting so much emphasis on this? …… In other words, if it was a British soldier or an American soldier, I really didn't care that much. ”

Li Gensheng also had some doubts:

"Why, my lord?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang says:

"There is only one reason: they are from Nazi Germany. The Nazis are all race maniacs, and they have been brainwashing the German people for three years. These young people are indoctrinated with the idea that the Aryans are the best race in the world, that all other peoples are inferior to them, and that we people of color are among what they call inferior. If our care for them is understood by them as our inferiority, then we automatically cooperate with their ethnology. Don't expect them to look at us as equals for years to come. ”

"I understand, my lord," Li Gensheng then understood, and became serious, "In this way, my subordinates have a plan in their hearts, and they know how to handle the proportions." ”

……

The People's Guard has now grown to nearly 60,000 people, and the Xiaoling Guard Barracks has also been expanded again and again, and is now divided into four major divisions according to the establishment of four divisions, and the overall scale is about to catch up with the capital garrison. In such a huge camp, with more than 1,000 people, it is naturally very easy.

Among the 1,300 German officers, 300 armored officers are to be stationed in the People's Guard, which can be regarded as the establishment of the People's Guard. The 1,000 pilots are to enter the Daming Army Aviation Establishment and enter the Army Aviation front-line combat units and aviation schools, and they are only temporary in the People's Guard Corps and will soon leave.

But despite this, Xiang Xiaoqiang still gave them a first impression of the Ming and the Ming army without a trace.

First of all, Xiang Xiaoqiang did not go to the train station to greet him in person, as Li Gensheng suggested. He just sent Li Gensheng to go and told Li Gensheng that letting him go was already to give face to the ** group of Zude.

In addition, most of the more than 1,000 German ** officers originally thought that when they got off the train and went to the barracks, the Ming army would send a vehicle to take them there. Who knew that they were actually allowed to walk over with their bags and suitcases. Of course, the colonels, lieutenant colonels, and gendarmes of the Ming army who came to pick up the station also walked back with them. Although the journey was not long, these German lads still felt that there was a gap between what they imagined.

When they set out in the country, it was the Führer himself who addressed them and almost made them saviors, sending them to the other side of the earth to help, to guide, to save...... As they boarded the boat at the docks, many ladies cheered and threw flowers, military bands played, and many young Hitler Youth raised their right arms to cheer them......

I didn't expect to get to the other side of the world, from the station to the barracks, I didn't even have to sit in a car. Many people are thinking that it is probably because the Ming army has this level of motorization, and there are too few cars.

……

However, when they went to the dormitory with suitcases and bags in the barracks, they saw tall garages on both sides of the road, with car signs spray-painted in black paint on each door.

After walking for a while, they saw that outside the garage, there were hundreds of military trucks lined up, and the Ming soldiers were washing the cars with faucets and leather pipes, and then polished them brightly.

Further on, they saw even taller garages, which were still in sight, except that each of the towering gates was sprayed with the logo of a tank in black paint.

In the open space in front of these tank warehouses, at least a hundred tanks were parked there, and hundreds of Ming tank crews were maintaining them. The lads, shirtless and with their swarthy muscles, shouted trumpets and worked together to pestle a long pole into the barrel of the cannon, wiping the chamber back and forth like a tug-of-war.

There were also a few tanks, and the lads were also shouting the trumpet, pulling out the tracks of the tanks one by one, and then replacing the links that needed to be replaced with new ones, and shouting the trumpets again, and rolling them in one by one.

There were also a dozen or so tanks, and the lads were standing on them, carrying heavy, huge battery replacements.

Seeing all this familiar and exciting sight, these German armored soldiers unconsciously slowed down.

In the country, they have never seen so many tanks in the same place. I didn't see that many cars in the same place. Thinking that it would soon be themselves sitting in these tanks and running bumpily on the school field, they felt that their blood was about to boil.

……

Ten long barracks were built for them. More than 100 middle- and lower-ranking officers of the People's Guard are already waiting here, guiding and helping these more than 1,000 middle- and lower-ranking German officers to move in and settle down like new students. Of the more than 100 officers of the People's Guard, half knew German. This brought in almost all the officers in the barracks who knew German.

Despite this, most people can only communicate through gestures, gestures, and expressions. Despite the "firecracker incident" at the gate of the barracks, it was clear that this little prank was nothing to the German officers and soldiers, and it was not as serious as the upper echelons of the People's Guard thought it was. People don't think about "the relationship between the two countries" or "national influence" at all, and they play pranks and trick each other, which is simply commonplace in others. It's just that those who are not convinced keep this Liang Zi in their hearts, and secretly wait for the opportunity to get it back.

The young officers of the two countries of the same rank quickly became one, at least on the surface, handing cigarettes to each other, patting shoulders, beating fists, laughing, and already a harmonious atmosphere.

The group beating incident that Li Gensheng feared did not happen.

Suddenly, a password came from the hallway of the dormitory:

"Stand upright!"

"Smack!" , all the Ming officers and soldiers in the corridor stood upright.

Immediately afterward, another German command was heard:

"Ak---Winter!"

"Smack!" All the German officers and men also stood upright.

But immediately, the German lads who stood straight were not honest in their eyes, and they all tilted their heads to look ahead, and the corridor was filled with low laughter and soft whistles.

A female lieutenant colonel of the Ming Army, accompanied by two male majors, appeared in the corridor.

She was in her thirties, beautiful, tall, and walked with her hands behind her back, smiling from side to side with the feminine affinity and the bearing of a chief, and nodding lightly to these German boys.

The German boys grinned, their shoulders bumped against each other, and they stared intently at the lieutenant colonel, their eyes almost popping out.

In China, I haven't seen a woman in the barracks! Although I usually go shopping on the street on vacation, my eyes are full of women, but I don't feel this way. Once there are women in a barracks full of men, the attraction to the lads is absolutely enormous.

The lieutenant colonel was obviously here to inspect, smiled and nodded, went into the dormitory one by one to check, and asked a certain German junior officer from time to time if he was used to the climate of the Ming Dynasty? Where is your hometown? And so on and so forth. The male officer behind him translated in German.

Some of the German lads who were asked were grinning, and their eyes were rolling around her, like looking at a stunner. The answer is also smooth and slick, with puns on the language, using the characteristics of German culture, mixed with some obscene elements, to see if the translation can see through. Other young men tried their best to show their gentlemanly demeanor, combing the blonde hair on their heads with a comb in advance, always touching their feet when they asked themselves, bowing lightly nervously, and smiling stiffly, so as to have the demeanor of the Prussian aristocratic officer corps.

The lieutenant colonel always smiled softly, and when she saw that the beds were not made in order, she would bend down and show them by herself. All of a sudden, the bones of these young Germans were about to melt.

After the inspection, the lieutenant colonel returned to the corridor and smiled at the German officers and soldiers:

"Young men, as you can see, there are also women in the Ming army, and the proportion of women is very large. This is also the tradition of the Ming army. …… I noticed that when I came in just now, there were a lot of people whistling. Well, I'll take that as a compliment from you. ”

After the interpreter finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the hallway.

The lieutenant colonel smiled slightly and continued:

"But in the Ming army, women have their own role. It could be medical, it could be communications, it could be clerical, it could even be piloting a submarine. However, there is only one effect that absolutely does not have - to be watched! ”

After the interpreter finished speaking, there was silence in the hallway.

The female lieutenant colonel had a blank face and said coldly:

"You didn't know it before, but I came here to tell you personally. In the Ming Army, female members must be treated with 100 percent respect. One of the most important of our military regulations is to whistle at a female commander, punishable by 12 hours of confinement. I repeat, whistles by female prefects are punishable by 12 hours of confinement. Do you understand everything? ”

The interpreter said the last word in German, and there was silence in the hallway.

"Very well," she said, smiling again, "I think you all get it." From now on, you must abide by the military regulations of our Ming army. This one is also included. ”

Just then, another whistle sounded in the hallway. The sound was very clear due to the silence in the hallway.

Everybody looked in that direction.
