"Because he looks so honest, you will believe what he says and be deeply moved by it."

Rosen paused and said with a smile, "But squad leader, saying and doing this is the way people like Xu Sanduo survive."

"They are cowardly, without the courage or ability to fight and struggle, so they live on others like parasites."

"He is not like that." Shi Jin argued, but his confidence was not strong enough.

"People like this may seem timid, but they are actually extremely selfish," Rosen said calmly, "They only care about their own feelings, and never care about the life or death of the person they rely on..."

"You're talking nonsense." At this time, a man rushed over and said to Rosen, "I didn't do that."

And he was Xu Sanduo.

In fact, Rosen had already noticed his arrival, and many of the words he just said were deliberately meant for him to hear.

Rosen stood on the infantry fighting vehicle, looked down at Xu Sanduo and said, "Really? Then let me ask you, do you know that it is very important to the squad leader now?"

"Ah?" Xu Sanduo rolled his eyes and looked at the three people present in a daze.

"See, right?" Rosen pointed at him and said, "You are now like the child who was spoiled by his mother at home. You only care about yourself and never care about anything else. Because for you, I just need to enjoy the love of others, and I don't need to worry about the rest."

Looking at Xu Sanduo, Rosen smiled and said, "But I really want to ask, why?"

He looked at Shi Jin again and asked, "Just because of your relationship?"

Shi Jin was silent.

Rosen looked at Xu Sanduo and continued, "You don't know, but I can tell you that the squad leader doesn't have much time left in the army. If he wants to stay, he has to transfer to a fourth-term non-commissioned officer, and the standard for assessment is everything to the soldiers."

"There's nothing wrong with us as a whole in Class 3, but the problem is you, Xu Sanduo."

Rosen pointed at him and said, "You are lame in all the training subjects now. You only passed the housekeeping test by cheating like sprinkling water. Excuse me, do you think you are a burden to the squad leader?"

"But I tried very hard." Xu Sanduo said with a look of grievance.

"Haha." Rosen laughed loudly, and then sarcastically said: "Why did you work hard? Are you just talking about it?"

He pointed at Wu Liuyi and said, "In order to win the five-kilometer cross-country race, he ran five thousand kilometers and finally got second place in the division. Although he lost, it was still an honor. But what about you?"

"You had motion sickness before, and I told you that if you wanted to overcome it, you should do abdominal rotations. Did you do it? No, then why did you work hard?"

"Your so-called efforts are just lip service, or you pretend to be pitiful and seek sympathy and pity from others."

Xu Sanduo shook his head and said, "I don't have one."

Rosen jumped off the infantry fighting vehicle, poked Xu Sanduo's chest with his finger, and said: "Then tell me now, how the hell did you try so hard?"

Xu Sanduo wanted to speak, but he had nothing to say.

"So..." Rosen looked at Shi Jin, who was full of disappointment, and said, "Don't be so self-moved, and don't deceive yourself with him. It's not that we want him to leave. He never thought of relying on his own efforts to help you and himself stay."

At this point, Rosen pointed at Xu Sanduo, shook his finger and said with disdain: "In this regard, he is even worse than that frivolous, mercenary and slick Chengcai. That's all I have to say."

"Good." Wu Liuyi clapped his hands with a smile on his face, saying, "It's very thought-provoking and to the point. You are worthy of being a writer."

"Thank you for the compliment, class vice-captain. I was just speaking from my heart." Rosen said with a smile, as if he didn't care about Shi Jin who had a gloomy face beside him and Xu Sanduo who hung his head like a sick chicken.

Then he walked up to Xu Sanduo and said, "Also, stop repeating your two repetitive words every day, such as living a meaningful life means living well and living a meaningful life means living well."

"Why?" Xu Sanduo looked up at him and asked.

"Because you only talk but rarely actually do anything." Rosen said, "Before, you built a road in Grassland Class 5, and I thought you had realized the meaning of this. Now it seems that I really overestimated you."

"But I didn't find anything meaningful." Xu Sanduo said.

"Train well, get excellent grades in all subjects, and cause less trouble for the squad leader. Use the honor earned through your own hard work to make the squad leader stay. Doesn't this make sense?" Rosen asked.

"It makes sense." Xu Sanduo thought for a while and said.

"Then why don't you do it?" Rosen asked.

"I'm stupid..." Xu Sanduo was about to explain himself, but was interrupted by Rosen's shout: "Wrong, you're just lazy."

"You are used to saying that you are stupid and others will forgive you helplessly, so you just lie there and do nothing. The worst that can happen is that you shamelessly say that you are stupid. Anyway, these are already commonplace for you."

"But Xu Sanduo, is a person who can recite the company commander's speech word for word in a short period of time a fool?"

Xu Sanduo didn't say anything.

"If you don't work hard, don't expect others to carry you." Rosen looked at Shi Jin and said, "Squad leader, what do you think?"

"Xu Sanduo, come with me and do abdominal rotations." Shi Jin said.

Xu Sanduo nodded and followed Shi Jin.

"Rosen, do you think you can persuade the squad leader?" Wu Liuyi asked, looking at their backs.

"I don't know either, I hope so." Rosen sighed. To him, those words just now were just to vent his recent unhappiness. As for whether Shi Jin would change his attitude towards Xu Sanduo, he really couldn't say.

At least, the scene in the original plot where Shi Jin asked Xu Sanduo to swing a sledgehammer and ended up hitting his hand did not appear now.

Also because of this conversation, Shi Jin did not put Xu Sanduo in a position that did not belong to him when selecting advanced individuals in the class.

The word "advanced" is an honor and may belong to Xu Sanduo in the future, but it has nothing to do with him at this moment.

I don’t know if it was because of Rosen’s words, but Xu Sanduo really regarded keeping Shi Jin on his own as the first meaningful thing he could do in the 7th Steel Company.

In short, in the subsequent training, he became much more hardworking, and no longer said things like "I'm stupid" all the time, but tried his best to do it and do it well.

During the year-end assessment, the regiment set up a table at the shooting range, and the soldiers who had finished their marching shooting got off the vehicle and answered questions about vehicle technology. (Note)

Due to the intense training, most people hid behind the tanks and read books to deal with emergencies, but there were only two people in Class 3 who remained calm.

One of them is Rosen. He has a photographic memory, so the books he has read are already engraved in his mind. He can’t forget them even if he wants to, so he naturally doesn’t need to sharpen his knife before the battle.

The second is Xu Sanduo.

Because he memorized the entire technical manual.

At first I just asked casually, but the questions got deeper and deeper, and by the end I was almost in an awkward situation.

The team leader also came over to join in the fun and asked Xu three questions, which made him a little confused for a moment. He looked helplessly at Shi Jin who was not far away.

Shi Jin knew that he was nervous, so he stood over to give him courage. This time Xu Sanduo performed excellently, which brought honor to the third squad and even the seventh company.

Note: These are soldiers directly under the regiment headquarters, and I am not familiar with their details.
