February 10, 1940 in the unified calendar The Ministry of Technology and Development of the Imperial Capital is located at the proving ground on the outskirts of the city

On the exhibition table is a multi-faceted hexagonal red gemstone, which is too bright red to remind you of something that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Like, blood.

As a new gadget developed by the Technology Department, the most attractive thing is that it allows the "incompetent" to have magical powers, so as to solve more than 70% of the empire's military resources. Most importantly, the magic of the gem can echo with the core of the "barbarian", which can undoubtedly maximize the actual performance of the driver.

Moreover, the gems that have been mass-produced will be used as a part of the new equipment to equip the new troops that will be formed.

At this moment, Hulu ~ Ge, who served as the technical director, was explaining the power of the gem to several military commanders present.

On the same day, the chief officers at all levels who received the order for intensive training began to assemble at Aobo.

According to the original plan, Anna, as a major, was going to bring a regiment of recruits. But Anna privately approached her old superior, Brigadier General Albert, and declared that she was not fit to lead troops with words such as "It is better to shoot her directly than to go to the rear to lead the troops". After all, it is very annoying to bring thousands of troops at once. And Anna, the last thing she likes to do is to do more of that idleness.

As a result, the staff finally gave her the task of leading a battalion. In return, the military department sent two quite good subordinates.

Kakawi and Caesar, Kakawi will continue to serve as Anna's aide-camp, and Caesar will be the best platoon leader.

In Anna's words, the two of them are responsible for singing red face, while they themselves sing black face.

Initially, Caesar was reluctant to accept the appointment. But the moment I saw Anna, this big man of more than 1.8 meters was as happy as a child. Because I finally had the opportunity to compete with Anna, you know, the purpose of his joining the army was to really fight with Anna.

At seven o'clock in the morning on March 1, the first batch of about 3,700 recruits arrived in Hemalton. All of them were supplemented to the 501st Regiment that had just been formed, including the Rapids Battalion led by Anna.

Unlike other units, there was no division between nobles and commoners in Riptide Camp, some of them were farmers, some of them were workers, some were merchants, and some of the members of the convoy who had served in the local area. In other words, most of the members of the Riptide Camp were originally ordinary people.

Each of them may have different values. However, they understand what they are here for.

Of course, to be able to enter the Riptide Camp, the relative monthly salary is a little higher than that of ordinary soldiers. But don't be too happy too soon, in Kakawi's words, "Entering Camp Riptide is the same as stepping into hell." If you can't survive the end of military training, then the so-called high welfare can only say "bye-bye" to you.

"Yo, everyone, welcome to Camp Riptide. Do you know why it's called "Riptide"?

Every time she faced a recruit, Anna liked to speak in that strange tone. She seems to enjoy the process of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"It's the meaning of the torrent!"

One of the recruits replied.

"First of all, congratulations on getting it right. So, as a bonus, go for a 5,000-kilometer run!"

The soldiers, who were still rejoicing at the appreciation, were immediately dumbfounded. He didn't understand, he didn't understand what it was for. But the guards on the side, who are responsible for maintaining order, don't care about this. The recruit showed a slight sign of resistance, and was immediately greeted with a whip.

Soon, the recruits understood that if they didn't run the 5,000 kilometers right away, they would be whipped even more.

So, while cursing "bastard, demon, maggot" and the like, the recruit could think of the most vicious words, he ran his first five kilometers as a recruit.

"Remember, here only, yes and no. Every time you answer, you should bring the word "chief", and when you answer the chief's question, you must report first....."

After another unlucky guy appeared, Kakawi began to read out the regulations for the soldiers in the barracks that Anna had given her yesterday.

With each reading, Kakawi felt,

To get them comfortable with skydiving training, the Tokoa training camp set up a 35-foot-tall skydiving simulator. The parachute harness is attached to a 15-foot-long parachute harness above and has a pulley at the top of the harness that slides down the steel cable. Trainees strap up, jump off the tower, and slide down the steel cable to the ground, which can roughly get the real feeling of skydiving and landing.

In the course of all these activities, without exception, they are accompanied by singing, shouting or shouting in unison, and the language is vulgar and unpleasant. These 19- and 20-year-old soldiers, freed from the shackles of family and culture, threw themselves from all corners of the United States into the world of men, and their words were all the same. The most commonly used word is "", and everything must be accompanied by a "", which is simply the word "". David Kenyon Webster, an English major at Harvard, admits that at first he was "uncomfortable with the vulgar, monotonous, unimaginative language." But it is this language that makes these young men who are entering adulthood feel particularly energized, and feel more like talking to their own people. Even Webster gradually felt that it was pleasing to the ear, but he never liked to use it himself.

In the training camp, in addition to learning to speak foul language and learn to shoot with a rifle, everyone gradually learned that the limit of the body's endurance is much greater than originally thought. In addition, they learn to obey orders unconditionally. Violations are punishable on the spot, usually by 20 push-ups, or by the removal of the right to go out on weekends or by marching heavily on the parade ground for hours in a row. Gordon said there was a popular saying in the military at the time, "We can't force you to do anything, but we can make you feel like you should." "Because everyone has a background of suffering, they shouted together in the training camp

, singing together, living together, all have common feelings, so it gradually became a big family.

The company learned to act in unison. A few days after the formation of the E Company, the 140 people of the company were neatly like one person, and the responses of "yes, sir" and "no, sir" were all voiced by the whole company.

These are the most basic things, and every unit can do it. In addition, he learned to drink alcohol, all he drank beer, and since most of the camps were not in the town, he went to the military service club. While drinking from the cow, he sang the soldier's song. Every time I drink it, there are people who scold and scold in their mouths, scold other people's mothers, scold other people's lovers, scold other people's hometowns, and scold everything. Then there will be a fight, and the nose and face will be swollen. In the end, shouting the battle trumpet, holding each other, stumbling
