Chapter Seventy-Nine: Don't worry

So the instructor's dismissal of us was successfully completed under my order.

Instructor Zhang is also a smart person, and he knows that there must be me behind this...... So when those soldiers were busy reporting for duty, they secretly pulled me aside, handed me a cigarette and said: "Brother, I know that you can fight and kill on the battlefield, and the battles you fought have been reported...... According to me, you don't come to the step school, you come to the step school to learn to fight, you all fight so well, then there is no need to learn, right? But the superiors insisted on letting you come...... We can't help it, so support my work and help each other! ”

"The instructor is polite!" I said, "Actually, what the newspapers say is a bit exaggerated, and I know that my soldiers really need to make up for their military qualities." As for supporting your work...... Rest assured, instructor, I promise to obey your orders, and if anyone disobeys, I will trouble them! ”

"I'm relieved to have your words!" Instructor Zhang patted me on the shoulder and left with a relaxed look.

"Hey!" At this time, Zhang Fan ran to my side and asked, "What did the instructor say to you?" ”

"Nothing!" I said, "Just to make sure that the troops will listen to him!" ”

Zhang Fan burst out laughing: "You know what? Instructor Zhang is a well-known ghost in this step school, and none of the soldiers who went out of this step school didn't know his name, and they were all very afraid of him, but they didn't expect that when they saw you, it was like a cat seeing a mouse! ”

"Hmm! And what's going on? I casually answered.

Actually, having said that, I knew in my heart that it was all because of the fact that we were all going to school, and if I was the only one who went to school...... I'm afraid that I will be treated like a sick cat by Instructor Zhang.

But can it be the same now? Although it is said that there is no company commander or platoon commander...... But the soldiers recognized me as a company commander. I still know in my heart that I am their head...... I have a hundred soldiers under me. And all of them were soldiers who came down from the battlefield. So who doesn't worry about it in their hearts?

I felt this when I checked in...... The name was registered by an old man with glasses, and then there was a large pile of quilts, kettles, etc., and after registration, he went there to get a copy and then went to find his own dormitory.

"Name!" The bespectacled old man asked casually.

"Yang Xuefeng!" I say.

The old man wrote the word "Yang" in his notebook, but stopped halfway through writing...... He raised his head and pushed his glasses to look at me, his face full of surprise...... The soldiers who were in charge of distributing the supplies next to me also stopped their movements and looked at me with shocked faces.

This old man is Yang Xianjian, the director of the logistics department of the infantry school, and he only learned about it after getting acquainted with him...... The reason why I want to get acquainted is because the relationship is good, so you don't have to worry about smoking or something.

The reason why he and a few of the fighters were stunned was that they had heard my name early in the morning. But I never thought that Yang Xuefeng was such a young and unsurprisingly good-looking young man.

All right...... It's not amazing, but this word really hit me hard, because I always thought I was handsome......

From this, I also know that what Instructor Zhang just said is right, and the name "Yang Xuefeng" has already resounded in the north and south before I have advanced to the school.

This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.

Let's say it's a good thing...... The students who have just entered the same grade are role models for us in the second company, for example, now, many soldiers we don't know are waiting for us at the end of the dormitory:

"Hello classmates! Welcome! ”

"Classmate, let's have a cup of tea!"

"Classmate, come, I'll take you to find a bed!"

……

Let's say it's a bad thing...... You must know that this step school is not a year. Just like a university, there are three-year, four-year ...... Later, I learned that it was actually not only three or four years, because after finishing the study, I had to be assigned to various units to learn professional knowledge.

You must know that this year is the first year that the school has resumed enrollment. In other words, most of the people in the same grade as us have been assessed and admitted, and of course, some of them are recommended, just like us. And what about the senior students...... It's the tail left over from the previous recommendation system, as you can imagine...... They either really have some ability and are the pacesetters of the original army, or they have connections and backdoors, so they all think they are superior.

Coupled with the fact that the admission of our company to the school seriously threatens their position...... In fact, they don't have any status, it's just that the limelight overshadows them, so those old students will compare with us intentionally or unintentionally. Among them is Chen Jiahao, who I have seen before...... He was originally a fourth-year student of this infantry school, but he went to the front line halfway because of the outbreak of war, and then returned to the infantry school as a veteran to introduce combat experience or something.

This is all a later story, because Zhang Fan lives in the female student dormitory next door, so after receiving the things, he waved to me and separated.

I went all the way to the second floor under the gaze of the strangers...... Due to economic reasons, the buildings of this era are generally brick-concrete structures, that is, a small part of the reinforced concrete and most of the brick walls are load-bearing structures, this kind of structure is destined to not have a high floor, and it is easy to collapse if it is high, for example, our building is a three-story building.

For a three-storey building, the second floor is the most suitable to live in...... The first layer is heavy in moisture, the third layer is exposed to sunlight and leakage in rainy days, and only the second layer is not up to the world and the ground. It's obvious...... We are all so late to have such a haode floor to live, of course, the school specially arranged for us.

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Just as I found my bed and bowed, a strange student saluted in front of me and said, "The principal asked you to go ......"

"Headmaster?" I couldn't help but be stunned and replied, "I'll be ...... right away."

I quickly realized that I didn't know where the principal's office was, so I asked, "...... this principal's office?"

The student stepped forward and stammered, "I'...... I'm waiting for you at the door, I'll take you! ”

"Oh, good!" I nodded, and I couldn't help but smile wryly...... I'm not that intimidating.

He threw the salute on the bed and followed the student to the principal's office...... Along the way, strange students were throwing strange glances at me, and it seemed that everyone recognized me just by turning around like this.

The principal's office was not far from our dormitory, across a basketball court and a few minutes down the concrete road, and it was also a brick house, but it was a little older than the dormitory. The furnishings were simple, a newspaper rack full of newspapers, a few rattan chairs, and a desk full of papers, and in the center sat a gray-haired but spirited old soldier writing something.

"Hmm! It's coming! When the old soldier heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw the student coming in with me, so he enthusiastically got up and shook hands with me: "You are Comrade Yang Xuefeng, I am Li Feng, the principal of the infantry school...... I've heard of it for a long time! ”

"The principal has won the award!" My answer is very simple, mainly because I am a little tired from socializing like this during this time.

"Sit down," Principal Li beckoned me to sit down, poured me a glass ......of water, and said, "How is it?" Let's get used to it when you come to the step school! ”

"Get used to it! You guys are very thoughtful! It's just ......"

"What? If you have any opinions, I will do what I can! ”

"It's not!" I shook my head: "I just hope...... Principal Li can treat us like ordinary students, we are soldiers...... If you are a soldier, you have to train, and you have to endure hardships! ”

"Hmm!" Principal Li couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded as if relieved: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng...... If only you would have such an awareness! I'm calling you this time...... That's actually the case. You must know that you are a company of heroes, and the newspapers are full of your deeds, and they were personally recommended by Commander Zhang...... It made us feel quite stressed......"

"The headmaster let it go!" I said, "Criticize what should be criticized, and punish what should be punished if you make mistakes, including me, we will not have any opinions!" ”

Actually, it's not that I'm highly conscious, but that I felt that the atmosphere was a little different on the first day I came to this step school...... It is as if we are pampered and held by the leading cadres of this step school, and if this is in peacetime, it is not bad, but we are a unit, a force that wants to go to the battlefield to fight...... If this continues, it will only make the warriors think that they are superior, and it will only make them feel that they can do anything.

It is still a trivial matter for us to pretend in front of the people, in front of the students, or in front of the leading cadres of the infantry school, but one day if our heroic company goes to the battlefield again? I'm afraid that it will be beaten into a "dog bear".

So, in this respect, we have made presentations on various occasions, given frequent interviews, and often been complimented as "heroes...... This is actually to break the fighters psychologically.

It's like boiling a frog in warm water, like the "war energy" mentioned before...... This is not to say that the people should not be like this, or that the soldiers should not be like this, but that the social environment is going down this wrong path and no one notices or realizes anything, and when it really comes to the point where it has to be changed...... With a single finger, a million soldiers were laid off, and it was then that I felt the pain of the skin.

"I'm relieved to have your words!" Principal Li got up again and shook my hand: "At first, I was worried that I didn't know how to tell you this, but now it seems that this worry is unnecessary!" In the future, please ask the second company commander to restrain your subordinates, so that our teaching will be more convenient to carry out! ”

"No problem!" I nodded, helpless in my heart...... I didn't expect to encounter such trouble on the first day of coming to this military school, an instructor and a principal...... Both superiors have to get my consent before they can rest assured.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong...... Now I finally understand the deep meaning of this sentence. (To be continued......)
