Chapter 18 Recruit Training
Although his attitude was average, he did not embarrass Aivan. Taking the letterhead, the major officer glanced at the wax seal on it, and without even opening it, he wrote a few words on it and received it in the drawer on his right.
Aivan, who had excellent eyes, glanced at it, and there were several copies of the same style, also unopened. I suddenly knew in my heart that there was more than one recruit in a similar situation to me.
He took out a seal and marked it on Aven's form, and placed it on top of a stack of two tables on the table, which only had a few pages, and Evan noticed that the stack of forms had the same mark as his own.
That's probably where the letter of introduction comes in.
"Okay, I'm your instructor for the next three months of recruit training, you can call me Instructor or Major Eugene.
Remember to come here tomorrow for a fitness test, even though it may be a waste of time for you, but the basic procedures still need to be followed. Go tell the next guy in!"
"Yes, Major Eugene!" Evan adjusted well, got up and changed into a military salute, turned and walked out of the room.
Standing on the corridor in the courtyard and waiting for Gary to come out, Evan sighed, sure enough, there are no related households everywhere, even if it is a different world.
From the moment they left the door of this recruiting office, the newly-born naval soldiers were already divided into three, six, nine and so on.
And this Major Eugene obviously misunderstood his identity because of that letterhead, but when the benefits came to his mouth, Evan would not be stupid enough to correct it himself.
Moreover, he saved the Yellow Bird this time and avoided the huge loss of property and personnel of the old man, and he was relieved to take this letter of introduction.
......
Because the Navy is currently understaffed, it adopts a year-round non-fixed recruitment, and as long as a batch of applicants reaches a certain number, the training process will be initiated.
Evan and Gary were lucky to be at the end of the batch.
The next day, the physical fitness test was naturally no problem for Aven, and he and Gary both passed with high scores, officially becoming an honorable member of the Navy's Third Fleet.
What awaits these recruits is a three-month training period before boarding.
At least let them have a certain foundation for newcomers like them, so that they will not cause chaos or even die after boarding the ship, and after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, as long as they can survive, they will basically be a qualified naval soldier.
How the top brass of the Navy arranged, Evan didn't know. Instead, he passed the complaints of the test staff, heard an anecdote, and finally understood why the recruiting office was so shabby.
"Everything is the credit of Lieutenant General Snyter, the head of the base's logistics department. The staff said.
Lieutenant General Snyter, who was originally from a merchant family, was not only a qualified quartermaster, but also a successful businessman.
He habitually marked the price of the things in his hands, and with the help of the special status of the navy, he turned them into several times the original profits, which naturally included the recruitment office that was once magnificent and spacious and made the navy very dignified!
His philosophy is, "When we make money, the buyer is our god, and when we spend money, we are someone else's god." ”
As a conscription office that could only spend money but not make money, it became like this, and the original site became the residence of the large chamber of commerce, in exchange for a very generous annual rental return.
This simple and simple pragmatism guided the rapid development of Gable, and also brought rich military spending to the Third Fleet, and was a veritable god of wealth in the hearts of everyone.
The staff of the military recruitment office can only nag two words, even if the working environment is bad, they dare not speak out.
Evan felt that this base quartermaster was indeed a wonderful person, and he saw very clearly that it was never the opulent naval base that attracted young people to join the army, but the bright future of being a naval soldier or even an officer.
On the contrary, they can take advantage of the sense of security brought by the military port to the merchants, and make full use of the land in the prosperous area to make a profit for the navy. Then use this income to improve the treatment and benefits of soldiers, and really spend the money on the edge.
"Sooner or later, I'll deal with this quartermaster. This premonition rose in Aiwen's heart.
......
In the training ground, the naval recruits of this class sat in a circle on the ground.
"Smack!"
The wooden swords used for training exchanged blows, and the two in the battle took advantage of the momentum to jump back, and quickly bounced up after landing on the ground to fight together again.
Obviously, the physical fitness of the two people in the battle is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and the body shape turns and the wooden sword fights, and the reaction ability of ordinary people cannot keep up with their movements at all.
Moreover, although they only had wooden swords for training, they made a loud scream when they wielded them, and it was conceivable that they would not be less injured on the human body than the real sword.
But these two people didn't care, and they were obviously extremely confident in their swordsmanship.
"Alright, stop!"
The battle paused, and the sand and dust in the field also fell, revealing two figures in naval training uniforms.
One of them was none other than Major Eugene, the instructor of this batch of cadets, and the other was an honorably selected member of the sparring unit.
Ignoring the fact that Evan was panting and couldn't hold on for the next moment, in a month's time, Major Eugene had already figured out this kid's temperament.
Seriousness, hard work, perseverance, and perseverance are different from many of the powerful children he knows.
At the beginning, when I said that I wanted to teach him the unique military swordsmanship of the navy in advance, it was called a diligent and obedient person, and he didn't need to ask him to come forward every day.
Then, after a genius has thoroughly entered the school in a week, and then wants to call him out as his own sparring partner to demonstrate to other students, he will be such a half-dead salted fish.
And he also complained to himself with confidence that the sparring delayed his own training and learning sailing skills!
"But it doesn't matter! He can't beat this instructor at all, so he has to be obedient. ”
After a strong crackdown, training continued as usual.
In less than a month, the other "Inscription Trainees" with extraordinary backgrounds have left the training camp one after another, and Eugene knows that they have already been arranged by their fathers, and they have never stopped them.
Only this Evan Garott, who spends all day in the training camp like a sponge absorbing water, is crazy to make up for all kinds of knowledge that others disdain.
If you don't be arrested as a strong man, who else can be arrested?
Even though the Navy is now a place where talent is concentrated, literacy alone is an important hurdle for most civilian recruits.
Over the years, the literacy rate of Phaletis has reached 20 percent, and one in five people is literate. Other countries that limit the spread of knowledge to the civilian class abound, and literacy rates are the norm in single-digit countries.
This is not the case with simple words, not to mention the extraordinary swordsmanship that can be called a broad road.
So if Evan started from crossing a civilian in this era, it was really the beginning of hell, and if you put a book of magic cheats to give you no systematic knowledge, you won't be able to learn it at all!
Huge class divisions are sometimes manifested, but this is more evident in worlds with extraordinary powers than in previous lives.
Eugene's choice is also a kind of helplessness.
"Soldiers, I announce that from tomorrow onwards, the Evan Church will teach the military swordsmanship you have just demonstrated in my place......
At this point, he was interrupted by the cheers of the earth-shattering below, what did these people come to join the army for? Is it really propaganda to fight pirates and defend their homeland? Isn't it to get ahead, get promoted and make a fortune.
That's right, the original intention of the simple people is so simple, true and honest!
Any knowledge and skills passed down from the top are related to whether they can counterattack in life and get out of the bottom of society. Let your descendants have the opportunity to escape the predetermined destiny of being born farmers, herders, and fishermen!
Although Evan was a little annoyed with Instructor Eugene's own assertions, he was stared at by a pair of eager eyes, and he couldn't say anything about refusal.
