Chapter 931: Gambling
Time flickered, and it was half a month.
The day has come for Lin Nguyen's special operations battalion to compete with the soldiers under other generals.
Two days before the arrival of this day, there were already soldiers who secretly opened a bet on which general's soldiers would win.
Soldiers often get together to gamble a little money, and the generals don't manage it too strictly.
After all, the days on the frontier are too bitter and monotonous, so many men get together, they have to have some fun.
Men's pleasures are nothing more than a few things, silver, women, power. Power is so good, and there are a number of women in the military prostitute camp, so naturally there is only silver left.
However, in order to prevent the atmosphere in the barracks from becoming dirty, Xiao Jingchen ordered that each person should not bet more than ten cents each time, and only five games a day, and violators would be severely punished.
So the gamble in Beijiang Weili is purely to kill time.
Gambling money is usually very popular, and this time the popularity is naturally unprecedentedly high.
And this time the bet is quite big, although everyone bets are ten cents, but together, it is not a small amount.
Several generals were betting a lot, and Lin Ruan's special operations battalion, except for the soldiers in the battalion who bet themselves, there was no one else to bet.
Ten cents per person, and the bets of two hundred people added up, and it turned out to be only two taels of silver.
Compared with the bets of hundreds of taels of those generals, it looks really pitiful.
The soldiers of the special operations battalion were quite faceless and a little timid by this bet.
Although they have improved a lot this month, can they really win?
Because the gambling game was too hot, Lin Ruan inevitably knew it, and when he saw these soldiers all hanging their heads, he couldn't help but despise them, "Look at your useless appearance!" The competition will only start tomorrow, and you will be discouraged today, just like you, you don't have to play! β
"Your sweat this month is not in vain! Otherwise, why is there such a gamble! If you're really vulnerable, who cares about this competition? Cheer me up, and tomorrow I will use all the strength to breastfeed, so that those who usually don't look at you can open their eyes! The people in our characteristic camp are not waste, but they haven't followed the head of the sect before! β
As he spoke, Lin Ruan took out a silver ticket from his waist, "I, Lin Jiaotou, bet one thousand taels to buy our special operations camp to win!" β
Xiao Jingchen suddenly appeared on the school field and also took out a silver ticket, "Ben Shuai is also betting on the victory of the special combat camp!" β
At this moment, all the soldiers of the special operations battalion were stunned, and the commander actually bet on them to win! You know, their coach never takes part in any gambling games!
What does this mean, it shows that their special operations battalion really has a chance of winning!
All the soldiers were excited, their morale was re-energized, and one by one they stiffened their necks and shouted at their throats: "The special operations battalion will win!" β
The news of Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ruan's public bet immediately spread throughout the entire military camp, and several other generals were also interested, and they all took out their money and bet their soldiers to win.
In the barracks, everyone will not easily admit defeat, and they will not release water during the competition because Lin Ruan is a princess, everything is fair and fair, and win with strength, so everyone has the most confidence in their soldiers.
Only Shen Zhennan made two bets, one was his own soldier, and the other was naturally on Lin Ruan's side.
Chen Qing couldn't help but complain: "Old Shen, there are still bets like this?" β
Shen Zhennan was confident: "Why can't it, there is no rule that you can only bet on it." If you want, you can bet everybody. β
Chen Qing: ......
The next day is the day of the competition.
At this time, it was already the ninth lunar month, and the morning in northern Xinjiang was already a little chilly.
But the soldiers who were ready to go into the field were all very thinly dressed, but none of them felt cold. Because several generals have spoken separately, if they win today's competition, they will take out the silver they won to buy wine and meat for everyone!
The soldiers' eyes lit up with excitement, which they had never dared to think of before.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in Northern Xinjiang all year round, so naturally not everyone will participate in the competition.
Each of the general's soldiers will be selected to compete with the other general's soldiers.
The number of people selected by each general is about 1,000.
But this time, in order to take care of Lin Ruan's special operations camp, they also only picked two hundred people each.
In the past, when people were picked, they were usually selected by the general's lieutenants and Chinohe, but this time, several generals gave the right to participate to the soldiers and asked them to sign up voluntarily.
It was the first time that the soldiers had participated in this form of competition, and many were eager to participate, after all, if they win, they would have meat to eat.
Each general had about 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and it was too easy to pick 200 out of 20,000.
Many of the people who signed up were quite capable.
Usually, people are selected randomly, and they will not pick the most outstanding ones, after all, they must also give opportunities to soldiers with average ability. Those who are outstanding and top-notch are also very arrogant, and they are usually not too rare to participate in competitions, thinking that it is too easy to win.
But this time, because they won and had meat, wine, and silver, they went against the norm and jumped out very actively to sign up.
Therefore, the people brought by several generals to participate in the competition in the end were almost all elite soldiers.
The soldiers who were unable to participate in the competition all gathered on the edge of the school field.
The school field is very large, and although it cannot accommodate more than 100,000 soldiers for training at the same time, it is not a big problem for them to huddle together to watch the excitement.
The soldiers who participated in the game entered the field early, squatting on the edge of the school field, and they were all discussing which general's soldiers had the best chance of winning this time.
Lin Ruan was on the sidelines and gave his final encouragement to the characteristic camp: "Don't panic, everyone, although their abilities are very strong, we are not bad!" Just compare ourselves to them as we train on a regular basis. This time, it is the day that the entire Northern Frontier Guard will be impressed by us! We must do our best, cooperate with each other, believe in ourselves, and we will win! β
Her mobilization was very effective, and the already high morale of the soldiers was more like being fed with excitement and excitement, and everyone was full of fighting spirit in their eyes.
The soldiers of the other generals listened to Lin Ruan's words and felt that she was a little too naΓ―ve.
Although the things taught by Lin Ruan are indeed quite bluffing, waste is waste, and no matter how much you practice, you can't compare to these first-class soldiers.
I hope that after the competition, this princess who protects the country won't hide and cry her nose.
