"Very good, it seems that you have all learned the military salute. I will check again tomorrow. If I see anyone saluting the military salute incorrectly tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude! Now officially enter the training! Everyone
Commander, listen to the order! Let’s run around the base to warm up first!”
Run around the base?!
Darlene almost screamed.
The words came to her throat, but Darlene swallowed them back.
Because she is now afraid of Instructor Lindsay, she is sure that if she exclaims or complains, she will definitely be treated badly by Lindsay.
"?!"
However, although Darlene suppressed her exclamations, it did not mean that everyone suppressed their exclamations and laments.
One little girl couldn't hold it back and made a loud "" sound, her tone full of disbelief.
Sure enough, after the girl made a "" sound, Lindsay immediately moved her eyes to the girl like a cat that sensed a mouse, and walked quickly to the girl.
"You ''what?"
"female……"
"'Female' what?"
"Do girls have to run around the base just like boys..." The little girl, overwhelmed by Lindsay's momentum, became weaker and weaker as she spoke.
"Wrong! It should be 'Do girls, like boys, have to run a lap around the base? Sir!'" Lindsay loudly corrected the girl's wording, emphasizing the last "sir".
"Do girls, like boys, have to run a lap around the base? Sir." The little girl whose wording was corrected repeated her question again.
"Very good!" Lindsay, who had always looked gloomy since the first time she saw her, had a smile on her face for the first time.
Lindsay patted the little girl on the shoulder, and then said loudly to everyone:
"I am a very open person! I welcome you to ask me questions. If you encounter anything you don't understand or want to consult, you can feel free to ask me questions! I will also do my best to answer your questions!"
"But" Lindsay changed the topic and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "Although I welcome you to ask me questions, I don't welcome you to quibble with me! The most annoying people in the army who have to quibble after making mistakes are those who make mistakes.
Mistakes are no big deal, just admit them, learn from them, and don’t make them again in the future. Remember this! If you make a mistake in the future, don’t argue with me! Do you understand?”
"Understood!"
"Are you all a bunch of old men and grandmothers with almost disabled vocal cords? Why are the voices of 100 of you not as loud as mine?!"
"Got it!!" The volume of everyone's response was several levels higher. Darlene, who was standing in the square, was so shaken by the response that her eardrums ached.
This response finally satisfied Lindsay.
Lindsay nodded, and then continued loudly:
"The little girl just asked a very good question! Do girls and boys need to run around the base? Nonsense! Of course they do!"
"I believe there must be many girls among you who have similar thoughts, right? 'Our girls' physical fitness is inherently weaker than boys. Why should our girls' training be the same as boys'? Why can't we girls' training lower the requirements?
ah?'"
I have to say that what Lindsay said was so right, and similar thoughts just appeared in Darlene's mind.
Darlene also feels that it is unfair. Girls' physical fitness is inherently worse than boys. Why do they have to have the same training requirements for girls as boys?
"Actually, you are not the first person to have such an idea! Since our Britannia Empire allowed women to join the army, similar questions have never stopped!"
"Many people have been suggesting that the training requirements for female soldiers should be relaxed to make the training of female soldiers easier than that of male soldiers."
"With all due respect, I think those who propose to relax the training requirements for female soldiers are all people who stand up and talk without pain in their backs!"
"Let me ask you! When you go to the battlefield, will your enemy stop killing you because you are a female soldier? Will they show mercy? Impossible!"
"Yes, the physical fitness of us girls is indeed inherently weaker than that of boys, but this is no reason for us to relax our requirements on ourselves!"
"Because my physical fitness is naturally weaker than that of men of the same age, I should be more demanding on myself! Train myself! Instead of relaxing on myself!"
"I will never relax my demands on myself just because I am a woman. When I was an ordinary soldier like you, I practiced even more than men!"
“So I have been training hard on the training ground and survived until now, and I have become the 100th captain!
"You have to understand! The reason why the empire requires us girls to have the same training requirements as boys is to protect us in disguise! The more you sweat on the training ground, the less blood will be shed on the battlefield. This is what I have learned from years of hard work on the battlefield.
The truth learned through killing!”
After hearing Lindsay's big words, Darlene felt as if the fog that had been covering her brain suddenly cleared away.
It is true that the physical fitness of us girls is inherently weaker than that of boys, but this is not a reason for us to relax our requirements on ourselves...
Darlene savored this sentence carefully.
She felt that this sentence was really wonderful, and it made her feel enlightened.
Darlene silently kept these words in mind.
"So kid, do you understand?" Lindsay turned her head and asked the little girl who asked her just now.
"Understood! Sir!"
"It's good to understand! Then everyone pay attention! Start running! Quick! Run! Run! Run!!"
…
Everyone formed four neat queues and jogged slowly around Base 1 of the Michael Knights at a constant speed.
Along the way, Darlene could see many new recruits, lined up neatly like them, jogging around the base under the supervision of their instructors.
Although the running speed is not fast, Base 1 is really too big.
Although they were running at a steady pace that was not very fast, many people gradually began to fall behind.
"Quick! Run!"
Lindsay, who was following them, also waved the whip in her hand, urging the recruits who were starting to fall behind to quickly follow the queue.
Darlene was born in a rural area. She has been helping her family with various farm chores and housework since she can remember, so her physical fitness is pretty good. If she can run around the base at such a speed without falling behind, Darlene is still confident that she can do it.
Arrived.
During the breaks between runs, Darlene turned back from time to time to observe Lindsay, who was following closely behind them.
Unlike Darlene and others who were wearing light civilian clothes, Lindsay wore a helmet and armor, wearing armor that only the Hundred Captain was qualified to wear, with a battle sword hanging on her waist.
Lindsay, who was wearing battle armor, could still follow closely behind Darlene and the others, breathing steadily and not even breaking a sweat.
So strong... These seniors who have been on the battlefield are so strong...
Darlene wiped the sweat from her forehead while sighing at the strength of these veterans.
…
By the time Darlene and others completed a lap around Base 1, it was already half an hour later.
Most of the recruits, including Darlene, had never tried such strenuous exercise before, so after running around Base 1, most of them were already panting like a dead dog.
.
Even Darlene, who was in good physical condition, couldn't bear it after running around the base. She hunched over, put her hands on her knees, greedily sucked every ounce of air into her lungs, and then became impatient again.
Patiently exhale the air from your lungs.
"Very good, the easiest jogging is over, let's move on to the next training."
easy?
Darlene's eyes widened and she looked at Lindsay in disbelief.
Does Chief Lindsay have any misunderstanding about the word "relaxed"?
Chapter completed!
