Chapter 150: Observation
Early the next morning, the first unit of the "Two-Week Plan" officially began, in the faint morning light and cold winter wind, accompanied by the shrill whistles of the instructors, the 2,000 recruits of the New Army quickly climbed out of bed.
They first smoothed out the wrinkles on their mattresses, quickly folded the quilt into non-standard tofu cubes, then quickly put on their military uniforms, put on military caps and military boots, and went to the bathroom at the end of the corridor to wash up briefly before running out of the dormitory.
In the twenty three-story brick and wood dormitories in the New Army garrison, countless blue-gray figures suddenly poured out as if zombies were coming out of the cage.
Some of them were still putting on their coats and buttoning the last button, and some were busy fastening the canvas belts of their trousers, but in less than ten minutes they arrived at the training ground of their respective camps.
"Well, it looks like you've been doing a good job this time!"
Looking at this scene, Xia Lin paused in surprise and praised Laiyin, Kixiuan, and Fatlan on the side.
The fact that the recruits of the New Army were able to have such discipline in less than ten days was not a small credit to the three bishops.
"This is all in accordance with the training regulations in the 'New Army Infantry Drill Code' given to us by Deputy Regiment Commander Xia Lin, and I didn't expect that the discipline of an army can be so strict.
Even when to get up every day, when to eat and train, when to go to the bathhouse and bathroom, when to go to bed, and what kind of quilt to fold into, there are such and such requirements!"
Lai Yin replied humbly. Even Lai Yin was extremely surprised when he first learned about the discipline requirements of the New Army, and if it weren't for Xia Lin's insistence on requiring the soldiers of the New Army to such standards, and personally leading these officers to lead by example, these regulations might not have been able to be enforced.
At the beginning of the execution, many soldiers complained.
It's just that in the past ten days, on the one hand, the poor squad will be punished or even deducted from salary, and on the other hand, the completed squad can get some honors and material rewards set by Xia Lin, and at the same time, he has been selected and broken up to become the vacant squad leader of each squad and platoon, and has a better future.
In addition, the treatment of the New Army in all aspects is so generous that it is unacceptable, so they reluctantly accept these rules.
"This is not a harsh one, but the discipline of an army is cultivated in peacetime, and when it is fighting, it will consciously obey the orders given by the officers and twist its strength into a rope to defeat the opponent.
The individual qualities of the soldiers of the new army are far inferior to those of the knights who have been trained since childhood, and the only way to defeat the enemy we expect is to forge them into a blade!
So even though you've done a good job now, remember not to relax your discipline in the future!"
Xia Lin, who had seen what it meant to be disciplined like steel in his previous life, was a little disagreeable with Lai Yin's idea, and seeing that the other two officers were also quite agreeable, he shook his head and admonished several of their senior officers.
Xia Lin's "New Army Infantry Drill Code" was born from some relevant knowledge he had read on the forum in his previous life, which was extremely mixed, but they all had one thing in common, that is, the requirements for discipline were extremely strict.
In a world without supernatural power, the organization that comes with strict discipline can turn hundreds or thousands of people into a single unit, allowing you to defeat a much larger but less organized enemy with more strikes and fewer blows.
In a world of supernatural power, discipline can also unite ordinary people into a single unit, allowing them to combine powerful muskets and artillery to defeat armies of transcendental beings who have not yet attained decisive power.
"All of them! Count!"
"One!"
"Two!"
……
"Fourteen! Report to the instructor! The 1111 squad of the new army is all here!"
On the playground, the soldiers of the new army, who quickly completed the assembly, puffed up their chests and began to count under the loud instructions of the instructors, followed by the routine one-kilometer morning exercise run to let them move their bodies.
"Let's go, us
Keep up!"
The purpose of Xia Lin's visit to the playground today is not only to test the current quality of the new army and to carry out the two-week plan, but also to observe the possible shortcomings of the new army and the reason for continuing to search for a candidate for the chairman of the soldiers' committee from the new army.
In order to achieve the latter two goals, Xia Lin also took off the large-brimmed hat that was not very convenient for movement, took off his coat, moved his hands and feet, and slowly ran with the 111 row at the forefront.
Seeing this, Yin and Ji Xiuan glanced at each other, but they followed with a slightly helpless look, and after hesitating for a while, Fatlan also followed silently.
At present, the uniforms of the new army are only two sets of military uniforms in summer and winter, and there is no difference between training uniforms, ceremonial uniforms, and regular uniforms.
However, the new army runs in a row of seven people in a row, six people occupy seven of the eight tracks, lined up in a phalanx, although it has not yet left the recruit period, the team is not very neat, but Xia Lin four people alone on the outermost track still looks a little conspicuous.
Therefore, many recruits turned their curious eyes on Xia Lin and the others, and after discovering that these three people were actually the highest commanders of the new army, they couldn't help but show some surprised expressions on their faces.
Xia Lin noticed this, and probably knew that during this time, the Yin couple should not have trained with the recruits as they did during the officer training some time ago, but this is also a normal thing.
Because as big knights, they themselves need to do a variety of knightly training every day, and the intensity of this training is much higher than the training of recruits, so Xia Lin has never forced them to follow the recruits for training.
After running a thousand meters easily, seeing that everyone has been able to keep up with the pace of the team now, and there will be no more backward squads to be punished, Xia Lin nodded secretly.
If he continues to train at this pace, he feels that it is still possible to pull out a new army with combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and then he will have the most basic confidence.
After finishing the morning run for the morning exercise, Fatlan immediately found an excuse to leave, and Xia Lin took Lai Yin and Ji Xiu'an to follow the assembled recruits to the simple canteen with only a cover and leaky air on all sides, and observed the dishes of today's improved breakfast.
A boiled egg per person every day, brown rice porridge stewed into big bones, and some pickled vegetables seem to have almost reached the breakfast standard of ordinary people in Xia Lin's previous life, and in this world, it is definitely hearty, even luxurious.
"Today's porridge tastes so good!"
"Oh my God! There's even shredded meat in there!"
Soon the soldiers also noticed a change in the content of breakfast, and the original tasteless white porridge suddenly became several times more delicious after being added to the pork bones purchased from the slaughterhouse in the canteen this morning.
Many people were amazed by this, and some recruits drank a bowl of big bone porridge in three sips and couldn't wait to come back to the porridge bucket to line up for porridge.
The idea of big bone porridge was only proposed by Xia Lin last night after thinking about it and not finding a suitable source of meat.
Although the price of these large bones, which were even minced by the skilled butchers of the slaughtering guild, was not much cheaper, a pound cost 20 copper pes, almost half the price of pork, and it was time-consuming and laborious to stew, and the cooks in the canteen of the New Army garrison could only serve one meal in the morning every day, but the cooking was still quite nutritious.
After two or three hours of boiling with a little spice to remove the fishy smell of pork bones, there is even a layer of bone marrow unique to the surface of the large bone porridge, which looks quite attractive.
Being able to drink two bowls of steaming pork bone porridge on a cold winter morning is already an ultimate pleasure for young people from slums.
They had been able to endure the harsh discipline of the Forces nouvelles for some time, not because they did not have the abundant food provided in the canteen, which they would not have eaten anywhere else.
Even in the new army, there were no overly strict rules such as no talking at mealtimes, because this morning was astonishing
Xi big bone porridge, four open-air canteens distributed on both sides of the six large playgrounds are a boiling and lively scene.
Seeing this scene, Xia Lin also nodded with some relief, he also went to the sideboard at the door of the cafeteria to get a wooden bowl and made breakfast, and the three of them found a few empty seats to sit down at the long table near the dining window.
The soldiers next to them saw that they were wearing large-brimmed hats and belts around their waists, and they couldn't help but get up and give way to their seats with some fear.
