When Risen woke up, the first thing he saw was his comrades surrounded by anxiety, Crawford, Cap, and Buddy...... He felt his body and feet for a moment, and although there was still some loss of strength and stiffness, it should be out of the way.

"How long have I been dizzy? Where am I now? Risen subconsciously asked, friends are here, is today's training over for the time being?

"It didn't take long, just over half an hour, and now it's still in the lounge on the edge of the training ground, although you fell down after the Gies, but the doctor said that your condition is much better than that of Gies, he gave you a few injections, said you will be fine, and sure enough." Seeing Risen speak, Crawford said happily.

"Guise??"

"No, it's the guy who was punished by the devil with you, he was in a deep coma, and he was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, hum, this guy has often practiced before, and he is not as good as you." Cap pouted as he walked towards the playground track.

"Oh." Risen rolled his eyes and realized that he was now a little grateful for his experience in the underground mines of Heidelberg, where the hard work had greatly improved his endurance and stamina.

Bang, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a big man broke in, his face was gloomy, he was the culprit who had brought Risen to this place, and immediately the room was silent, and everyone was silent.

"Hmph, both of them fainted after running at this little intensity, and their physical fitness is simply extremely poor, it seems that I am too tolerant of you guys, and I have taught a bunch of rubbish." The sergeant looked at his watch, "There are still two minutes of rest, give me all back, and you, if you don't die, go back to the training ground, don't be a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law lying on your stomach like a." ”

"What era is it now, there are starships and warplanes in the sky, the ground is the world of armored mobile infantry, and the tactics of ordinary infantry charging have long been outdated, why do you need such good physical fitness?" Buddy, who was in the same barracks as Risen, muttered quietly.

Sergeant Boeira, who was walking out, immediately paused, Buddy covered his mouth, but it was obviously too late, it was obvious that the sergeant's ears were very sensitive, Buddy regretted it in his heart, he didn't know what punishment would befall him, Ressen, who had very sharp eyes, clearly saw the flesh on the back of the sergeant's neck throbbing a few times, but the sergeant didn't say anything this time, just paused and continued to walk out.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, they couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, this was so different from the life of a sergeant, Buddy patted his chest and gasped a few breaths, "Scared me to death, I thought he was going to tear me in half." ”

"Alright, alright, let's go." Risen got up from the bed and moved his hands and feet, "I don't want to run twenty yuan again." ”

However, in the subsequent training, Risen felt that the sergeant treated them more harshly, especially more intensely than before, the recruit three companies and a bunch of brothers are often at the end of a subject, almost no time to catch their breath, and immediately enter the next project, at the end of the day, Risen couldn't help but wonder if his head was still on his neck, poor Buddy became everyone's punching bag, and his ears were purple all day long, and everyone agreed that it was because of Buddy's words that the originally perverted sergeant was even more perverted.

Time passed, with the deepening of training, the number of recruits in the third company has been reduced from more than 100 to more than 90, those who are less are all because of one reason or another, either disabled or transferred out by using connections, or simply died in the training ground, the sergeant's ruthless and iron-blooded methods make Ruissen feel scared when he thinks about it. But Risen can't help it, there is a strict hierarchy in the imperial army, and the superiors can be said to have the power of life and death at the lower levels to a certain extent, beating and scolding corporal punishment is commonplace, and it has become the default unspoken rule in the army, you have to stand it if you can't stand it, and if you want to find someone to complain, no one will pay attention to you, it will only make yourself worse, which Risen has seen in several colleagues.

However, all those who can survive have become the best of that class of recruits, and after a few months, they feel the reborn changes, the laziness of the original common people on their bodies is gone, and they act with a clear eye, and every move has the demeanor of a soldier, the muscles are round, and they feel that there is inexhaustible strength, full of masculine bodybuilding, Sergeant Boeira is indeed extremely strict with them, but it has also taught them many things, long-distance forced marches, cross-country running, push-ups have become commonplace for them, He taught these rookie recruits in combat, firearm use, climbing, obstacle crossing, tactics, swimming, and even gave them a short airborne and weightless training, in short, it seemed to Risen that the sergeant was cramming a bunch of things to them at an almost dangerous speed, regardless of whether they could digest it or not, which was also what made Risen a little puzzled, because there were so many things, and six months was too short and too hasty. And there are many training items in this that are not what they should master as recruits, at least other recruit companies do not train these subjects, and the sergeant does not know what means are used, he can always use many advanced facilities in the Lodhian barracks to train the recruits in the third company, according to which none of the little sergeant has the right to use, Rysson and the other brothers in the company are in awe of the sergeant day by day, in the eyes of everyone, Sergeant Boeira is definitely a legendary figure.

Another gratifying change is that the sergeant's attitude towards them has gradually changed, and the unprovoked beating and scolding and corporal punishment have become less, and being able to get the approval and praise of this mysterious sergeant makes the brothers of the third company of the recruit feel particularly satisfied, and the previous resentment and cold-blooded curses against the sergeant have long disappeared in the eyes of the recruits of other companies looking at them with slight envy and admiration.

The time for the completion of basic training for the recruits of this session is getting closer and closer, and the next step is to be assigned to specific units for professional training, whether the recruits of the third company are in training or in exercises, the results have left a large part of the recruits of other companies, and the soldiers with excellent grades can be given priority to the troops with better conditions, and Risen can't help but be full of excitement and expectation for the upcoming specific distribution.

However, Ryson's excitement was soon poured cold water on his head, and by chance, Risen saw the cruelty of war for the first time.

It was a weightless training, and the recruits were returning to their camp in high spirits under the guidance of the sergeant, and as they passed by the seventh berth, Risen noticed that a destroyer was parked at the seventh berth, and the mottled surface of the ship could be seen with scorch marks and burns everywhere, all caused by various energy weapons, and a twin neutron beam turret on the X-gun position was gone, leaving a large blackened and broken hole.

They hadn't seen this destroyer when they passed by before, maybe it had just landed from planetary orbit when they were training, it must have come back from the front line, it was rare that it had such a big hole in its hull and could pass through the atmosphere, Risen wondered, why didn't it repair near the base near the front line, but had to run back to New London through several galaxies with large and small damage?

Risen later learned that with the end of the sting period between the two sides, the frontline battle gradually became fierce again, and the two sides launched a brutal battle around a former important planet of the Earth Federation, Hainison, which was a war of attrition, both sides invested a large number of ground combat troops and interstellar warships, no one expected that this battle would become like this, but when the battle came to this point, it was not up to the army to choose, the two sides were purely for the sake of face, like red-eyed gamblers, Continuing to pour more men, mechs, warships, and warplanes into the bottomless pit, the battle became known as the "Henison Meat Grinder".

At present, the dockyard repair facilities of the major Imperial bases near the front line were lined up with many Imperial ships waiting to be repaired, so the destroyer made a long journey back to New London in the rear with its new mission after making urgent breach and sealing measures.

What is the new mission? Risen knew right away.

A square box covered with the Imperial flag lined up in the open space under the hatch of the destroyer, where several Imperial officers were counting the numbers and handling the handover, and Risen understood that the destroyer's new mission was to carry corpses.

Generally speaking, if an Imperial Marine dies on the surface of a planet, he will cover up on the spot; If you die in space, then you will simply throw it in the universe and bury it, and it is rare to transport the body back to the rear and back home, Risen thought, these guys must have some great or excellent relationship or backstage.

For the rest of the way back to the camp, the large row of shiny metallic boxes kept coming to Risson's mind, and it shook him so much that his thoughts were almost focused on it, although he knew that war would definitely kill people, and he had seen dead people in Heidelberg, but the living coffin in front of him still made him a little unbearable.

The team was silent, the recruits had their own ideas, the high morale was gone, Sergeant Boeira felt the change in the ranks, but he still didn't say anything. For the first time, Risen realized that he might soon follow in the footsteps of these people, and he thought of a word: cannon fodder, he didn't understand, everyone is human, what kind of battle to fight? It's nice to go out and sit together, have a drink, and bubble girl, but that's not something he can decide, he's just a soft-spoken little soldier.

After the team was brought back to the camp, Sergeant Boeira told the whole company to stand upright, and after walking back and forth in front of the queue for a few minutes, the sergeant finally spoke.

"I know that many of you think that modern warfare is just a matter of pressing a few buttons in a warship and swinging a joystick in a fighter plane or mecha, and you don't need such good physical fitness at all, wrong, this is definitely a big mistake."

The sergeant glared at the group of nervous recruits with his fierce eyes, and then shouted: "You can't stay in the mecha 24 hours a day, there are many places in the future war that the mecha can't reach, and the battlefield is not up to you, do you think you can control the starfighter without good physical fitness?" Do you think you can't touch the enemy's broadside combat if you stay on a starship? ”

.........

"I know you have a problem with my training, hmph, those fools who don't pass the training are often the first to die on the battlefield, rather than let this group of useless people die in battle, it is better to let them be eliminated in my training first. If they die in battle, it's not just a matter of losing their heads, and I don't want to see them because they did something stupid, or didn't do something they should have done, and someone else did their funeral goods......"

"Combat is a contest between soldiers, if your physical fitness is better than that of the enemy of the Federation, then you have an invisibly additional advantage in battle, this advantage may be able to get you out of trouble, maybe it can save your life when you are desperate, even if you are unfortunately defeated and ejected, you can wait longer in space for help to come, and on the ground you may also use this advantage to escape the enemy's hunt......."

..........

"I can tell you, you will not have this kind of training in the future, three months of professional training is indeed much easier than now, once you complete the professional training, that is, when you set foot on the battlefield, you don't want to become one of the fools in the coffin, just work hard for me, so that you can do it yourself, and all of them will be disbanded."

The sergeant strode away without looking back, and somehow Risen seemed to feel something shiny flickering in the corner of the sergeant's eye.

No, I was dazzled and wrong, Risen shook his head inwardly, how could this be.

Since then, although the training is coming to an end, the rookies of the third company of recruits seem to be crazy in the training compared to before, which makes the soldiers of the other companies a little puzzled, what is wrong with these guys, could it be that their perverted instructor has fed them all what is overdue?

At the end of the training, the moment of assignment that Risen was looking forward to finally arrived, Risen secretly prayed in his heart, God, open your eyes, I am very content, don't be too bad, the best thing is to be assigned to the rear base, the farther away from the front line, the better, I am only nineteen years old, I still want to live a few more years.
