Rebirth: Romania Rising

Early in the morning, the entire military camp was enveloped in a peaceful atmosphere.Except for Victor, almost everyone was still immersed in sleep, but suddenly, a loud whistle came from the military camp playground, breaking the tranquility.

"Hiss-hiss!"

"Get up, soldiers, it's time to assemble!"

The recruits were awakened by the whistle. Some of them got up from the bed with their heads covered, while others stayed in bed stupidly, not knowing what happened.There was an atmosphere of chaos throughout the recruit barracks, accompanied by rapid footsteps and shouts.

"Where are my pants? Who wore them wrong?"

"Oh my god, why did someone kick my military boots under the bed?"

……

The recruits also saw the difference at this time. Some recruits were nervous and acted quickly.Some recruits looked confused, disoriented, and disorganized.

Victor saw this scene with his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He thought that many people here would obey orders, arrive on time and on time, and if not, they would impose some order, but the reality surprised him.

Drunkard Betif shook his head, not surprised.Apparently he has been used to the behavior of these new recruits for a long time.

He said to Victor: "Both the orderly and cultural soldiers have chosen to join the First and Second Legions. These recruits are basically farmers recruited from remote countryside. Although they obey the instructions, they lack personal abilities. Half of them Many people are illiterate and lack collective consciousness.”

"It's actually like this." Victor finally understood the gap personally,

This is probably what the two passengers in the train said a few days ago. Because of the First Balkan War, with Austria-Hungary in the north and Bulgaria in the south, the long border required a large number of elites and veterans of the First and Second Corps to guard against. Guard.Therefore, the number of soldiers left for the Third Army is very poor. Most of them are farmers, and their cultural level and military literacy are generally not high.

But no matter what, Victor's new recruits were finally assembled.Like a teacher leading primary school students after school, Victor led groups of recruits to gather in the square.He originally thought that his team would definitely be late, but when Victor arrived at the square, he discovered that his recruits were the most present, the earliest, and even had the best discipline.

None of his recruits dared to make a loud noise, but whispers kept coming and going, discipline was loose, and the team stood crookedly.What finally silenced everyone was the harsh sound of an electric horn:

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"The chief's voice followed the microphone and finally reached the speaker through the circuit, making a deafening sound. Everyone stopped whispering and looked towards the high platform in front of the square.

Standing on the high platform are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are the face of the Romanian Army. The soldiers are holding long guns, with solemn military looks, straight backs, standing in a row, heads held high.Although in Victor's eyes, their formation was not very neat, it was still much better than the stragglers under his command.

As expected, the leader was the last to come up. After a long time, two tall colonels also climbed onto the high platform.

Victor raised his head and stared, only to see "Old Den" Brad, who had caused trouble for him a few days ago, standing aside, and "Short" Andrew, who helped him to save himself, standing in the distance.

During the entire process of taking the stage, the two of them did not say hello to each other, nor did they give each other a good look. They just performed official duties coldly like robots, which shows the stalemate in their relationship.

Andrew was responsible for training officers, and Brad was responsible for inspecting the training results of grassroots soldiers. When the two saw that it was almost time, they stepped forward and started talking...

I saw old Denblad starting to talk with an official accent: "Now I am here to talk about the importance, arduousness, initiative and era of this army training, as well as the several breakthrough points, The foothold, the focus..."

This Brad is worthy of having mixed qualifications. He was promoted from a group of officers. He speaks with an official accent, and from time to time he can say a few words, "The late Wang so-and-so once said."

It’s just that Andrew looked disdainful on the side and sounded uncomfortable.The officers and recruits in the school grounds were also confused. After all, simple soldiers like them would not understand the twists and turns of some of Brad's words.

"Victor, what do you think this old man is talking about? He's so literate. I can understand every word. I don't even understand what it means in a sentence." Alexei whispered, and the man beside him said The soldier suppressed his laughter and nodded in agreement. This was also the consensus of most soldiers.

"Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war... Also, to be a soldier, you must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In fact, it is this simple truth, do you understand?" Victor whispered to Alexei and the surrounding soldiers. road.

"That's it!" The people in the circle suddenly realized. Alexey cursed in a low voice: "Such a simple truth, this old man said it is so complicated and cumbersome. Victor, in my opinion, it is better for you to go up and give a speech. !" He admired Victor even more now.

"Then you are looking down on me. I am just a newly appointed major. How can I be qualified to go on stage and speak on behalf of the organization in front of so many people?" Victor smiled helplessly.

Against the wind, I don’t know how long it took.Brad's speech finally came to an end:

"So let me emphasize one last point here. Some new officers should not think that they are not official commanders, so they dare to neglect their duties, violate military discipline, cheat and cheat. If they are caught by me, they will be dealt with in accordance with military law!" After that, he returned to the court. Victor glared sharply in his direction.

Andrew had been unhappy for a long time. He grabbed the microphone and finally said the content of the recruit training: "This training focuses on the collective. All units must work together as one, and all will be prosperous and all will suffer. As long as it can promote training, no matter what method, It can be used, and it is also the responsibility of the new officer.”

Following Andrew's command, everyone now lined up and divided into different groups and large groups according to dormitory floors and dormitories.The extra people were assigned to the teams that were short of manpower. It sounded like a very simple thing, but it took a long time.

"Now, mark the group names from right to left, and name them from 0 to 9. The one on the far right is number 0, and the one on the far left is number 9. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

Vic counted the most. His group was the first to arrive, and later he was ranked in group 9. When the time came to compete, he was also the last one to play.

"Now the new officers, line up according to the order of the group and get out of the queue!"

After hearing this, Victor lined up according to his number in group 9 and stood at the end of the line.Andrew and Brad walked down the platform and checked their identities in order.

When Andrew reached the end of the team, he saw Victor at a glance and smiled kindly: "Good job, young man! I'm optimistic about you."

Facing this "savior", Victor said respectfully: "I will never let down my benefactor's expectations of me."

"Very ambitious!" Andrew felt very happy when he heard this, and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, Brad's contemptuous boos sounded from the side.

"This Victor has the courage of an ordinary man. He is no more than a low-level officer charging into battle. How dare you train new recruits to harm others? You can't teach new recruits well, but you can't afford the responsibility."
