Part 3: The Battle Song of the Angels, Chapter 25, Teachings

"Alright, just send it here, Speaker, please come back." Riding the speaker's maglev out of the Academia Sinica, I got off at a remote street corner.

"Then let's leave it at that, Leonard, take it easy, as long as this time is over, you will definitely become the hero of PLANT again, and Lux will have to rely on you to take care of it then." The Speaker gave me a gentle smile, waved his hand and closed the door, sped away.

I'm still immersed in the last words of the Speaker just now, is that a hint? Or just an ordinary greeting. In any case, the Speaker seemed to see something.

C.E.712/21

February City Comprehensive Non-commissioned Officer School.

"This is your MS driving instructor for the next two months, Chief Leonard von Finterrad. During this time, he will focus on teaching you some practical combat skills and battlefield survival experience. Commander Leonard is an ace pilot who has experienced several major battles, and it is a great honor for you to have his guidance this time, and I hope you will seize this precious opportunity to improve your level quickly......"

The director of the MS driving department was foaming at the mouth of the podium and talked about it for nearly twenty minutes before a teacher next to him stopped under the reminder and said two words stupidly: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, I am a little carried away by inviting such an excellent instructor as Chief Leonard, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

In response to him, there was a loud boo, and the somewhat fat director was suddenly covered in a cold sweat. I almost laughed out loud when I watched it, but the teachers and students here are quite interesting, and the relationship seems to be very harmonious, and I am starting to look forward to the next two months.

"I'm sorry, Leonard, these bunnies usually make me spoiled, but please teach them a hard lesson in the future, don't give me face." The director even had an expectant look on his face when he said this.

"Now, I would like to invite Instructor Leonard to speak for you." After the director finished speaking, the group of student soldiers immediately quieted down, and it seemed that their quality was quite good.

I stood on the podium, quietly staring at the excited half-sized children in the audience, and couldn't help but smile. Once upon a time, like them, I was looking forward to standing under the stage, looking at the soldiers who stood high on the stage with admiration, their faces full of seriousness and solemnity. It seems like a distant thing.

Five years ago?

No, it should have been earlier, under the banner with red as the bottom and covered with five bright gold stars, those countless hot-blooded men who stained this banner red with their own blood, those years of life and death with a group of comrades-in-arms who went through hardships and lived and died with a group of comrades......

It's been a long time since I've remembered that passionate army.

………………

Looking at these still very young and immature faces, I swept around with my staring gaze and spoke in an unusually low voice: "From today onwards, I will give you the skills of fighting, but I will not give you the means of defeating the enemy, what I will give you is how to save your little life like ants on the battlefield filled with gunpowder." ”

As soon as the words fell, a noisy and noisy voice suddenly came from the audience.

"Quiet." I yelled, "Listen, I'm not posturing in front of you, you're not qualified to make me do that." Do you know why veterans who come down from the battlefield always discriminate against newcomers? This is not a vice of seniority, but an inevitable product of a special institution like the military. They look down on you rookies because you are nothing compared to them who have experienced the feeling of life and death countless times.

There is a saying that is well said, there are only born warriors, there are no born soldiers. Maybe some of you are so good that you can't even match the veterans who are fighting on the front lines in simulated battles, so you feel like you're amazing. Yes, I admit that these people are geniuses, and they can learn tricks that take years for others to learn with very little study time, but when you go to war, you are still a bunch of rubbish. Have you ever tried the feeling of beams and bullets flying all over your side? Have you ever tried the vibrations that come with intense fear when you're hit? Have you ever tried to fly a battleship and MS on the battlefield, and you feel small in that huge scene? Those of you who have not experienced this are not qualified to be called a soldier at all. ”

Looking at the students who were stunned by my words, I nodded in satisfaction.

The fat director gently pulled my arm on the side, and asked with some concern: "Leonard, are you going too far, they are just a group of children who have just entered the army, so they won't use such a serious tone." ”

"No, I think it's necessary. I can see that you have a good relationship with these students, understand each other like friends, but you still spoil them too much, so it will be difficult for them to adapt when they are actually sent to the battlefield. ”

"Why don't I know that?" The director said with a bitter face: "I think I have been fighting on the front-line battlefield for more than ten years, and I have been working from a communications officer in the security fleet to the weapons control officer on the ship, and I have also been killed all the way through the bloody storm." But because of this, now looking at these energetic young people, I can't bear to let them repeat the mistakes of my past, and only those who have actually been on the battlefield know how precious peace is. ”

Looking at this twilight soldier who was in distress, I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in my heart, so I gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's not your fault, after all, the country needs soldiers who defend their homes and defend the country, even if they can live and work in peace and contentment, there will always be some people who take up arms and go to the battlefield." ”

"Actually, I've thought about it for so many years." The director smiled embarrassedly: "Anyway, I ask you to teach them more useful things, maybe I really spoil them too much, but I hope they can live a healthy life after the war, so, as I said just now, please teach them harshly." ”
