Chapter 18 Recruit Training

Although his attitude was average, he did not embarrass Alvin. After taking the letter, the major officer glanced at the wax seal on it, without even removing it, he wrote a few words on it and put it in the drawer on the right.

Ivan, who had a very good look, glanced at it and saw that there were several unopened letterheads of a similar style. He suddenly knew that he was not the only recruit in a similar situation to his own.

He took out a seal and marked Alvin's form, and placed it on the top of the two piles of forms on the table, which only had a few pages. Alvin noticed that such a pile of forms all had the same mark as his own.

This is probably the role of a letter of introduction.

"Okay, I will be your instructor for the next three months of recruit training. You can call me instructor or Major Eugene.

Remember to come here for the physical fitness test tomorrow. Even though it may be a waste of time for you, the basic procedures still have to be followed. Go call the next person in!"

"Yes, Major Eugene!" Ivan adapted well. He stood up and changed into military salute, turned around and walked out of the room.

Standing on the corridor in the yard waiting for Gary to come out, Alvin sighed, indeed, connections are indispensable everywhere, even in other worlds.

From the moment they exit the recruitment office, the new navy soldiers have been divided into three, six or nine grades.

And this Major Eugene obviously misunderstood his identity because of the letter, but the benefits came to his lips, and Alvin would not be stupid enough to correct it himself.

Moreover, I turned the tide this time and saved the Huanghu, avoiding the old man's huge losses of property and personnel, so he felt at ease with this letter of introduction.

Because the Navy is currently short of manpower, it adopts a non-fixed recruitment system throughout the year. As long as a group of applicants reaches a certain number, the training process will be started.

Alvin and Gary were lucky enough to catch the end of this batch.

The next day, the physical fitness test was no problem for Alvin. Both he and Gary passed with high scores and officially became a glorious member of the Navy's Third Fleet.

What awaits these new recruits is a three-month training period before boarding the ship.

At least newcomers like them should have a certain foundation, so that they will not cause trouble or even die after boarding the ship. After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, as long as they can survive, they will basically be qualified naval soldiers.

Ivan didn't know how the navy's top officials arranged it. Instead, he let him pass the test staff's complaints. He heard an interesting story and finally understood why the recruitment office was so shabby.

"Everything is the result of Lieutenant General Snart, the chief of the base's logistics department," the staff said.

Lieutenant General Snart, who comes from a business family, is not only a qualified quartermaster, but also a successful businessman.

He habitually marked the price of the things in his hands, and used the special status of the Navy to turn them into profits that were several times the original profit, which naturally included the once spacious recruitment office that made the Navy very prestigious!

His philosophy is: "When we make money, buyers are our gods; when we spend money, we are other people's gods."

As a recruiting office that can only spend money but not make money, it has become like this. The original venue has also become the residence of the large chamber of commerce, in exchange for very generous rental returns every year.

This simple and pragmatic guiding ideology has promoted Gabraide's rapid development, and has also brought generous military expenditures to the Third Fleet. He is a veritable god of wealth in everyone's hearts.

The staff at the recruitment office can only say a few words. No matter how bad the working environment is, they dare not speak out.

Ivan felt that the quartermaster of the base was indeed a wonderful person. He saw very clearly that it was never the magnificent naval base that attracted young people to join the army, but the bright future as a naval soldier or even an officer.

Instead, you can take advantage of the sense of security that the military port brings to businessmen and make full use of the land in prosperous areas to make profits for the navy. Then use these incomes to improve the benefits of military personnel and truly spend your money wisely.

"Sooner or later I will have to deal with this quartermaster." Ivan had such a premonition in his heart.

In the training ground, this batch of navy recruits sat in a circle on the ground.

"Snapped!"

The wooden swords used for training were used to fight. The two people in the battle took advantage of the situation and jumped back. After landing, they quickly bounced up and fought together again.

Obviously, the physical fitness of the two people in the battle was far beyond that of ordinary people. Their bodies were turning and fighting with wooden swords, and ordinary people's reaction capabilities could not keep up with their movements.

Moreover, although they were only using wooden training swords in their hands, they made a huge scream when they were swinging them. It is conceivable that the injuries on people's bodies would not be lighter than those caused by real swords.

But these two people didn't care. They were obviously very confident in their swordsmanship.

"Okay, stop!"

The fighting paused, and the dust that filled the field fell, revealing two figures wearing navy training uniforms.

One of them is Major Eugene, the instructor of this group of students, and the other is student Ai Wen who was honored to be selected as a training partner.

He ignored Alvin's panting and the look of being unable to hold on the next moment. Within a month, Major Eugene had already figured out this kid's temperament.

His conscientiousness, hard work, perseverance, and perseverance were all different from those of many rich and powerful people he knew. Only the fact that he couldn't afford to start early without profit was 100% similar to those people.

When I first said that I would teach him the unique military swordsmanship of the Navy in advance, he was diligent and obedient, and he didn't need to be asked to come forward every day.

Then, after he has mastered it completely in a week like a genius, and then wants to ask him to come out as his partner to demonstrate to other students, he will look like a half-dead salted fish.

And he justly complained to himself that the sparring had delayed his own time to train and learn sailing skills!

"But, it doesn't matter! Who made me an official knight? He can't beat this instructor at all, so he must be obedient."

After suppressing it forcefully, training continued as usual.

In less than a month, other "Mingzhang students" with extraordinary backgrounds have left the training camp one after another. Eugene knew that their places had been arranged by his father and he never stopped them.

The only one left is Alvin Garriott, who spends all day soaking up training camp like a sponge absorbing water, crazily cramming in all kinds of knowledge that others dismiss.

If I don’t arrest you as a young man, who else can I arrest?

Even though the Navy is now a place where talents are concentrated, literacy alone is an important threshold for most recruits with civilian backgrounds.

After years of promotion, the literacy rate in Phaletis has reached 20%. One in every five people is literate. However, other countries that restrict the spread of knowledge to the civilian class abound, and the literacy rate is only in the single digits.

Countries with large numbers are the norm.

Simple writing is like this, let alone extraordinary swordsmanship that can be called a royal road.

So if Ai Wen starts by traveling through time as a commoner in this era, it will really be the beginning of hell. If a magical secret book is given to you without systematic knowledge, you will not be able to learn it at all!

Huge class divisions have always been seen, but this situation is more obvious in a world with extraordinary power than in previous lives.

Eugene's choice is also a kind of helplessness.

"Soldiers! I declare that starting from tomorrow, Assistant Irvine will teach you the military swordsmanship you just demonstrated on my behalf."

The words were interrupted by the thunderous cheers below. Why did these people join the army? Is it really to fight against piracy and defend the country as advertised? Or not to get ahead, get promoted and make a fortune.

Yes! The original intention of the simple people is so simple, true and candid!

Any knowledge and skills passed down from the upper class are related to whether one can counterattack in life and escape from the bottom of society. It gives one's descendants the opportunity to escape from the destined fate of being farmers, herdsmen, and fishermen at birth!
