"Rhodes is right, Deputy Commander Xia Lin, Pearlman He is indeed the most serious person in our 1311 class, and he is often called out by the instructor to demonstrate his actions during training, and every night before the lights go out, he will hold the "New Army Infantry Drill Code" and study hard!"

The man next to Rhodes who had just made a statement, Xia Lin, who looked a little familiar, also said.

"Is that so? That's a pity, by the way, recruit, what's your name? How do I think you look familiar?"

Xia Lin nodded after listening to their words, and then asked the big man in surprise.

Hearing Xia Lin's question, the big man suddenly had an embarrassed face, and couldn't help scratching his head and introducing himself:

"I'm Bad Lev, Deputy Commander of the Regiment, Xia Lin, I was a cotton roll worker in a textile factory, and on the 4th of February, I was one of the first to take part in the New Army test and was lucky enough to pass!"

"Bad Lev? Oh! I remember, you were the first bearded man to pass that recruit for the new army, no wonder I didn't recognize you, how did you shave your beard?"

After getting the specific information, Xia Lin finally remembered who this familiar strong man was, and after a while, he suddenly realized it and then asked:

"Bud, as an employee of the industrial park, you weren't even assigned the position of squad leader or deputy squad leader?"

"Haha, Deputy Head Xia Lin, I don't know much about reading and arithmetic, so I was brushed off!"

Bard smiled bitterly twice, lowered his head in shame, and touched the back of his head.

"That's ......."

Xia Lin thoughtfully touched his chin, which had recently begun to grow slightly fluffy, and then asked:

"Would you like to serve on the New Army Soldiers' Council? The only requirement for this position is that you know how to care for other soldiers, explain their needs on their behalf, and convey the words and thoughts that we want to convey to the soldiers!"

"The Soldiers' Council? Deputy Head of the Xia Lin? What kind of job is that?"

Hearing this, Bard's heart suddenly moved, and he asked with some curiosity and expectation.

On the other side, however, several soldiers stood up and began to refute Pearlman's claim:

"Even so, Chief Xia Lin is inevitably too lenient!

Every day, it doesn't matter what time we get up and what time we go to bed, even the quilt must be folded into neat squares.

There was a recruit in our squad who couldn't learn dozens of times, and he had to be reprimanded by the squad leader every morning, and the platoon commander occasionally inspected the dormitory and saw that he would be deducted from his salary, and our squad would also be punished for running away.

It's nothing to be punished for running down, but in the past ten days, he has been deducted three or four silver mar, how can he take the money home and explain to his parents when the time comes?"

"There is also a discipline button, just a button, after training, sweating profusely, you have to wait until the dormitory or bathhouse to untie it, otherwise you will be punished for running away if you are seen once, which is too unkind!"

"That's right!"

"Indeed, even the quilt and buttons have to be taken care of, Deputy Head Xia Lin is just like our old mother!"

"I'll explain it to you in detail later!"

Despite the generous treatment, it was obvious that the strict discipline of the new army still made these soldiers feel a little criticized in their hearts, and hearing the words of these soldiers, Xia Lin saw that many recruits were all in agreement.

Since there is a dissatisfaction, it is natural to solve it in time, so as not to affect the next training plan, Xia Lin briefly chatted with Bud, then stood up and put on his big-brimmed hat, looked around at the recruits who were whispering around and said loudly:

"Good morning, everyone! I'm Charlem Carr, your deputy leader!"

Seeing that the deputy head of Xia Lin mentioned by Pearlman just now was actually beside him, Shi Cai didn't see the existence of Xia Lin, and the few soldiers who stood up to play against Pearlman suddenly showed a look of ghost on their faces.

It's like a student who was happily playing with his mobile phone in class in Xia Lin's previous life and inadvertently found the head teacher behind him, and couldn't help but want to sit down.

"Wait, don't sit! Just stand here and talk!"

Xia Lin hurriedly stopped their moves, and when they saw this, they could only freeze in place with ugly faces.

"Don't worry! I'm not going to blame you for what you just said, punish you for running or pay you for anything, I just want to say a few words to you to let you know why the New Army has such strict discipline rules, even what shape everyone's quilts are folded into, and when the buttons can be unbuttoned!"

Seeing their appearance, Xia Lin smiled and waved his hand at them and continued:

"I'm sure you've had a fulfilling time this time, right?

Every morning at half past six in the morning, I got up to wash up, ran a thousand meters in the morning, then had breakfast, and then had various training arrangements, until the end of the evening training, I went to the bathhouse to take a bath and eat, and I had to follow the officers in the canteen with air leaky on all sides.

Even the sleeping time is stipulated, isn't that a little different from the barracks life you've heard?"

Seeing the recruits looking at each other, Xia Lin continued:

"It is true that the new army is very different from all the previous armies, so where is the difference?

Let me tell you, in addition to the difference in treatment and weapons, the newness of our new army is first and foremost embodied in the discipline that we always emphasize in our "Infantry Drill Code of the New Army"!

What is Discipline? Discipline is a kind of force that an officer gives an order, and you, as soldiers of the new army, must carry it out to the letter, and discipline is a creed that you must do your best since you want to do it!

And this kind of strength and creed cannot be cultivated on the battlefield, but only from your usual training and life!

You must have all experienced the small communication activity under the leadership of the instructors, right? Do you remember when you first spoke, what could a simple sentence like "Whoever is ahead of whom" be transmitted to the last few people?"

Hearing Xia Lin suddenly mention this small activity for training and relaxation, some of the recruits suddenly showed embarrassed looks, and the recruits around them also laughed in a low voice tacitly.

In this kind of activity, it is often the case that a fairly normal sentence ends up being passed down into an extremely outrageous sentence.

For example, at the beginning, the instructor originally said that "Pearlman Gordon is ahead of Bad Lev", and in the end, the last few people may have become "Pipsqueak is beating Balmain" and other inexplicable funny words.

"It seems that everyone knows the evolution of this communication activity, and if one person does not pass the sentence to the next person as the instructor asks, the sentence will soon lose its original meaning.

In this regard, everyone should be aware of the problem that if an order cannot be thoroughly carried out in a large collective, then it is equivalent to not being executed!"

"Therefore, we must cultivate your sense of discipline, and through these steely disciplines, we will forge your loose sand into a sharp blade!

Only then will you, mud monkeys like me, who have been selected from the slums, carry out the orders of our officers once and for all.

And then on the battlefield, you will defeat people like Company Commander Laiyin, Battalion Commander Kixiuan, and Camp Commander Fatlan, all of whom are usually knights, great knights, and even silver knights called lords and adults!"

"Now let's go back to the original topic, you think that folding quilts into tofu blocks is difficult for strong people, so let me ask you, do you really know how to fold quilts?

With your intelligence, which has been selected from tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of young people in the slums, can you learn to fold quilts ten times, and can you still learn to fold quilts a hundred times?

If there is such a soldier, then I, as the deputy commander of the new army, will make an exception and allow him to never fold the quilt again!"

Xia Lin said with a serious expression, and there was silence in the cafeteria, which was large enough to accommodate four hundred people at the same time.

"If you really have such a person, and you don't dare to stand up and explain it now, then I will make an exception and allow you to come to me in the logistics building in the future, and your quilt will not have to be folded into tofu blocks after applying!

But for the rest of the soldiers who are able to do it, my request is: you must not relax!

Every morning, as long as there is no order from the commander, even if it is windy and raining outside, you must first fold your quilts according to the schedule of the discipline regulations, then put on your military uniforms, wash up, buckle your manners, and then assemble on the playground!

If you can't do this most basic point, obey my orders, integrate yourself into the new army, become a part of the new army, and become the strength of the new army, and ask me to say: It is better for you to get out of here as soon as possible!"

Xia Lin stretched out his hand and pointed to the roof of the cafeteria, warning with a cold expression. Immediately afterward, seeing that many recruits showed solemn expressions, he softened his tone a little and continued:

"My order is here, I demand that every soldier of the Forces nouvelles abide by the rules of the Forces nouvelles Infantry Conduct Code! Obey the orders of the chief!

However, in addition to discipline, the newness of our new army is also reflected in one aspect.

That is, we are a new-style army that upholds the principles of internal democracy and equality between officers and soldiers, and while the lower-level soldiers strictly obey the orders of the commanders, the commanders must also take care of their own soldiers.

After studying for such a period of time, I believe you have noticed that in addition to stipulating your every move, there are also regulations that officers cannot beat and scold soldiers, and they cannot use soldiers as slaves, right?

Officers, in the new army, are only soldiers with commanding authority, and they stand out from you because of their talents, does not mean that they are like the knights and lords who are high above, and their personality is much higher than yours.

In order to implement this principle of "internal democracy and equality of officers and soldiers," I will immediately set up a soldiers' committee, in which there are no officers, but only first-class soldiers' councillors.

In each squad of fourteen people, the squad leader and deputy squad leader will elect a three-member soldier committee, who will be selected to care for your life and training, convey my ideological requirements to you, and give you the soul and life of this sharp blade.

These Soldiers' Commissioners are not your commanders, but your companions!

They have only two powers, first, they have the right to hold meetings of the soldiers freely in any event that does not interfere with the operations of the Forces nouvelles, and second, they will be directly subordinate to me, and they will be able to find me at any time to respond to any situation that arises in the Forces nouvelles.

This soldiers' committee consists of three men per squad, nine men per platoon, and twenty-seven men per company, and I will appoint two as chairmen, and six chairmen per battalion, to form a committee directly under me.

The voice of each and every one of you soldiers will reach my ears as soon as possible through them, the committee members and the chairman, and I will do my best to meet your ideas and requests!

For example, if the food in the cafeteria is not delicious, if the officers beat and scolded you or called you at will, if someone's salary was overcharged, or if you received an order that you considered extremely unreasonable, etc., I will deal with these things as soon as possible.

At the same time, through these committee members and chairmen, I will tell you the reasons and purpose of the establishment of the New Army, so that you can know who you are fighting for, and let you understand some things that the New Army must understand."

Hearing Xia Lin's detailed explanation, the recruits of the New Army had a certain understanding of the word "new" for the first time, and they couldn't help but start talking to each other in a low voice with some novelty.

"Alright, now there's nothing else to do, let's go ahead and eat! It's going to be a lot of intensity this morning, so you'll need to eat a little bit! Sit down, all of you!"

Xia Lin knew that these soldiers would definitely not be able to figure out the specific use of the soldiers' committee for a while, so he clapped his hands and said.

The recruits who were standing by Xia Lin's name immediately sat down as if they had been amnestied, and the recruits gathered around several long tables also returned to their seats one after another with porridge bowls.
