Chapter 1008: A Strange Reward!
The time for the assessment finally came, and as the whistle sounded for the morning training, the brothers put on their field backpacks with M1 Garand rifles on them, and unlike the actual combat, there were no bullets in the rifles.
"Keep up the speed and pay attention to the recruits around you."
Feng Ye shouted at the front of the team, and the brothers behind him were not breathing, he was reminding everyone and cheering everyone up.
"The goal, all twenty-five minutes, no one can be left behind, here, you can do it."
Feng Yi reminded from time to time that the US military's five-kilometer cross-country standard is within 30 minutes, and here, I don't know if it is the physical improvement brought about by a large amount of meat or the reduction of the weight-bearing standard, the brothers' armed cross-country running time in training has been improved, and 30 minutes is no longer a problem.
"Huhuhu......"
On the training ground, as time continued, the breath of many student soldiers became short, and there was already a risk of falling behind.
"Give him a hand."
The platoon commander next to him shouted and asked the soldiers to unload their backpacks, rifles, and other equipment and put them on the bodies of other veterans.
βshit!β
βstopοΌβ
The U.S. military instructor next to him shouted that in this kind of test, they could not tolerate help, they wanted basic data of soldiers.
"Don't bother them, they're a team, everyone."
The Master Chief stopped the instructor from moving, he may have been informed of the peculiarities of this unit.
"Sir, why do you run the damn five kilometers, shouldn't it be one and a half miles?"
Another instructor cursed that in the United States, all recruits are one and a half miles.
"They're not recruits, and this isn't the United States, this is India, they're Chinese, and the Chinese assessment is five kilometers ......"
The master officer said helplessly, this assessment is now nondescript, and he has nothing to do; Maybe this is the damn Sino-American combination?
In the end, no one was left behind in the physical fitness test of the morning training, and everyone received a good evaluation.
After breakfast, there was a firearms test, a fixed target of 200 meters, five bridge clamps in the standing, kneeling and lying positions, the only difference from the country was that they had a time limit, because they used semi-automatic rifles.
"Sudden ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
At the shooting range, all kinds of gunfire continued, all small arms had to be tested, and the Americans did not lack ammunition, but they were carried out separately.
The first day passed smoothly, Stilwell got the report as soon as possible, for the Americans, their statistical efficiency is very high, because Stilwell is waiting for their results at the training base, Feng Yi's reminder made him very worried, but there seems to be no problem at present.
"Feng, the soldiers have very good grades, they all work hard, we have great soldiers."
Stilwell immediately called Feng Ye, and what was revealed in his words was irrepressible excitement.
"Sir, this is only the first day, and there are still two days to come."
Feng Ye was not so happy, on the first day of the assessment, he was very nervous, afraid that his efforts would not be fruitful.
"I don't think there's any problem anymore, Feng, if the results of the subsequent assessments are like today, I think you deserve to be rewarded, what do you want? You are eligible for the reward. β
Stilwell was already imagining what it would be like for the veterans, armed with American-style equipment, to enter the jungle.
"If possible, help get some chili peppers from Chongqing, and ask for the local Sichuan peppers, which are very spicy."
Feng Ye squirmed his lips, and he remembered what happened last night.
"Chili? What's so good about that? Don't you need a vacation? Dollars are fine, or even you can go and find the girl? β
Stilwell wondered if it was the first time he had heard someone ask for chili.
"Sir, if it's possible, pepper!"
Feng Ye didn't say anything else, chili pepper may be their soul for Sichuan people.
"Okay!"
"Feng, in fact, it's not difficult, on the plane back from China, there is still room to bring a little chili."
Stilwell nodded, sighing at the strange thinking of the Chinese, what is good about that kind of thing that is very uncomfortable to eat.
There were no anomalies on the second and third days of the assessment, and once these veterans decided something, it was very difficult to change it, and they were able to pass the assessment in the end, and many even got excellent reviews.
"Feng, your soldiers are very good, such a very good result, their marksmanship is already better than those damn Japanese."
The assessment was finally over, and in the evening, Stilwell took the report and shared the joy with Feng Yi.
"Thank you, sir, and don't forget the agreement between us."
Feng reminded the American.
"Of course."
"By the way, the peppers you want have arrived, and the convoy will arrive at the base in the evening; Tomorrow, it's up to you to distribute it to the soldiers! As compensation, you have one day off; Hope you won't be cursed by your brethren, strange reward. β
Stilwell shook his head, he didn't have the face to distribute this kind of reward, since Feng Ye asked for it, then let him bear the curse of the soldier himself.
"Brethren, I think there is nothing to congratulate on passing this examination; Congratulations on passing the test, it is better to say that we brothers can fight together again, and there is no more joy than this, and as a reward, I have brought you delicious food. β
There were no American instructors today, because they had also been given a day off, and Feng was standing in front of the brethren with a sack at his feet.
"Commander, at that point, the brothers can't do it alone! You're so stingy! β
Min Fei grinned and pointed to the sack at the bottom of Feng Yi's feet, there are so many brothers, I'm afraid everyone can't taste it.
"Hahaha......"
"What about the cooks? Give labor and management out. β
Feng Ye shouted.
"Commander."
Five soldiers stepped out of the ranks.
"Open."
Feng Yi pointed to the sack.
"Chili peppers, it's chili peppers; Authentic Sichuan Chaotian pepper. β
"Brethren, it's chili!"
Several cooks shouted, they even had a chili pepper in their mouths, they felt the aroma of chili peppers, and shouted.
"Excited about what? Today's kitchen, we are in charge of our own affairs, don't waste it, and make a good meal for the brothers in our hometown. β
Feng Yi laughed.
"Commander, that's it, it's not enough!"
The cook rubbed his hands greedily, although this sack was dried chili, but there were so many people, there was no way to make a pure Sichuan dish.
"Who says that's all there is to it? In the warehouse of the kitchen, there are; But labor warns you! Don't waste it, it's not easy to get it again. β
Feng Ye shouted.
"Why are you still stunned? Today we have a holiday, and the task is to get food, and you guys are going to help. β
Feng Ye shouted, announcing the best news for these brothers, the holiday, they all need it, but looking at the chili peppers in their hometown, they like it more.
"Oh......"
The brethren rejoiced, carrying the peppers straight to the kitchen, and today, this will be their world; Americans' luncheon meat, beef, pork and other meats, plus potatoes, greens and other things, are enough for them to make a delicious meal full of hometown flavors.
