Chapter 70: Training Cups

Unlike the day's jubilation at the base's top brass, a new military training camp at the base has been in a depressing mood since a week ago.

On the training ground, about a dozen famous cat and cat youths wore a full set of M36 combat uniforms of "German devils", carried military bags, and carried M1641 without ammunition on their shoulders. A few idle and painful crossers around them all put their rifles in front of them, pointing at these orcs who had only been conscripted into the military a week ago, laughing constantly, without him, a group of short soldiers of one meter and two meters were really full of joy.

"Damn, Yu Shan, you've forgotten your left and right legs again!

In the horizontal queue of recruits, the man Wu Shichao kept cursing Yu Shan beside him, and the poor young man blushed, and in order to change the order of his left and right legs, the entire queue was skewed.

For a whole week, these former combat cats, under the guidance of the recruit squad leader, repeatedly carried out combat and marching column training, but the effect was very poor.

"Soldiers in the mountains, out of the ranks!"

The recruit squad leader Q15 shouted with a blue face to stop the soldiers' line marching training, walked to the front of the soldiers in a horizontal row, and pointed the whip in his hand at the trembling cat youth.

"You've dragged down your comrades again, it's time to take the punishment, run around the field 30 times in full gear, and immediately! As for the rest...... Stand upright, guns on your shoulders, stand in a military posture, and feel guilty for having such an idiot and fool in your team for two hours!"

After speaking, Q15 cleared his throat: "You should know how happy you are, as long as you complete a few years of military service, you can obtain the permanent residency recognized by the base government, and even after mastering the Chinese language, you may even become a real citizen!

Q15's expression of hatred for iron is not steel, coupled with his lingua franca that keeps talking to the end, makes many cat people and young men blush.

"Sir, Sergeant, I'm training alone, these rookies are completely endangering us!" Wu Shichao, who was a little upset by the weight and heat, hesitated for a long time, and finally roared in a loud voice, and several of his more belligerent companions were responding.

His expression changed slightly, and Q15 set his eyes on a sturdy cat youth in the front row.

"Private Wu Shichao! Do you know what you just said? You don't trust your comrades-in-arms and try to give up your comrades-in-arms, if you are on the battlefield, what consequences will your actions lead to, do you know?"

Q15 slowly walked up to the soldiers who were causing trouble, and condescendingly struck the shoulders of several soldiers one by one with his whip, and his expression gradually became stern: "Now, you, you, and you, in view of your inappropriate thoughts and words, you will accompany the soldiers to the mountain to be punished." Out of the queue, 30 laps around the field, immediately!"

In the distance, Zhang Yuan, the current minister of national defense, accompanied by Wei Dadong, the military security commissioner, was quietly observing, praising the rough and old-fashioned training mode of Q15.

"Lao Zhang, are we going to use these soldiers so soon? Wei Dadong looked at the wall in the background of the boot camp and said thoughtfully.

"We have to free up manpower in all aspects, including troops. As we expand, we will go deeper and deeper into the sphere of influence of orc tribes that we have not been in contact with before, and we will also divide our forces even more. What can we do with our squad of more than 10 people? The orcs of this era are known as war animals, and they are extremely obedient. As long as they are given a good living guarantee, they will be more adapted to the current skirmish tactics than we are. ”

Zhang Yuan waved his hand with a smile, but the words in his mouth made Wei Dadong a little uncomfortable.

"Well, let's just prepare veteran seeds for the next expansion of the army. Later, a special foreign infantry battalion was set up to use it, and the number of soldiers was gradually expanded. Wei Dadong said, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Lao Zhang, I wasn't there yesterday, I heard that at yesterday's committee meeting, Hu Yi's plan to reorganize the members of the committee, what's going on?"

As if a torch had been lit, Zhang Yuan's face suddenly turned a little red with emotion.

"Hu Yi and Zhang Tianchi came to me again last night and said that there are too many members of the military department in the committee, and they are not suitable for the daily management of the base except for the military aspect. Zhang Yuan said coldly, as if he was holding back a breath of anger.

"How can Hu Yi get together with Zhang Tianchi?!" Wei Dadong heard this answer, and immediately became angry, "Which bastard is demolishing our platform behind his back?!"

"Don't talk nonsense...... Maybe Hu Yi is hinting at us, maybe it's the opinion of the residents of the base...... At present, the base is still under semi-military management. ”

After all, Zhang Yuan was much more stable than the younger Wei Dadong, and secretly endured his emotions and frowned.

It wasn't until the evening that the day's training came to an end, and more than a dozen soldiers were driven back to the dormitory like ducks, and then lined up naked to enter the bathing shed.

Before joining the army, some people did not change their underwear once for several months, some people only touched the water once in a few months, and even the claws on their feet could be used as bayonets...... Whatever the habit was, the boot camp gave these cat-to-cat soldiers a chance to be new people.

The steaming hot water came from the hot water boiler, and a group of tired and weak soldiers were poured with hot water, and they were suddenly so refreshed that they went to the bone marrow, and they shouted and screamed in the bath shed one by one, and the cat's tail flicked wildly, causing a splash.

"Private Wu Shichao! Do you know what you just said? You don't trust your comrades-in-arms and try to give up your comrades-in-arms, if you are on the battlefield, what will the consequences of your actions like this, do you know? Well, 30 circles, immediately!"

In the changing room, a cheerful soldier deliberately learned the tone of the Q15 squad leader, and pointed at the man who didn't say a word on the side. There was a burst of laughter in the room, and several soldiers who had been punished for running in circles glared angrily.

"Uh...... Wu Shichao, I'm sorry today......" Private Yu Shan handed over a towel embarrassedly, pursed his lips and wanted to continue to say something, but when he saw the other party's fierce gaze, he consciously closed his mouth again

Outside the bright cafeteria, several long rows of tables were lined up, but now only one wooden table was flanked by soldiers.

Today's dinner consisted of fish stew with potatoes, peanut and venerbone broth, grilled salmon with spices, and a cold vegetable salad with sugar, in addition to a large basket of corn nests and snow-white bread. In addition to the fact that the chef of the camp cannot guarantee the taste, his high-fat, high-calorie and high-protein recipes fully meet the soldiers' heavy training for a day, well, these must be thanked to the recruit squad leaders who go out once every two days on average, they go out early and return late, in addition to bringing back a lot of information each time, they will also bring back the food that makes the soldiers salivate.

Aside from the loud chewing noises, few of the sweaty GIs had the leisure to chat. Such a sumptuous dinner is something that no cat soldier has ever imagined in his life. Even though this level of food has lasted for a week, the soldiers who have only been at the base for more than a week for various reasons are still like wolves.

Outside the cafeteria, Chef Han, who had just taken off his apron, smiled, for a chef, there is absolutely nothing that makes him happier than the dishes he made are sold out.

"Lao You, how long will we have enough food?" he restrained his smile and turned to ask You Nanzhe, who was struggling with a plate of fried pork with green peppers.

You Nanzhe put down his chopsticks, counted with his fingers, and finally showed a helpless smile: "Eleven days." ”

"Oh, then we should think about external expansion. As soon as Chef Han finished speaking, he was refuted by You Nanzhe, but Chef Han was not angry, he said in You Nanzhe's ear faintly: " Don't forget, our base is now sheltered by all the cat people, more than a thousand people eat, how terrifying the consumption you know, although we don't have to supply it all, but that's not a way, just rely on their grazing Pichu beasts and fishing in the river, we can't get a stable source of meat at all, and the seeds they brought back, even if there is technology to catalyze, it will take three months, is it, let's only gnaw meat for three months, not even a little vegetarian?"

"Ugh. You Nanzhe scratched his head, he was only a second lieutenant at the bottom of the officer before he crossed, and the logistics problem was never the object of his consideration: "However, isn't this reason too ridiculous to send troops to fight for food? ”

"But who can say for sure? Let's try, go, talk to them. ”
