Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

"Only sluts get their heads shaved. I'm not a slut, so I won't get my head shaved!"

The woman's resistance was so fierce that the barber was afraid of hurting her, so he quickly put away his knife. He looked at Li Xi and asked him to make the decision.

Li Wei walked forward and looked directly into the woman's frightened eyes.

"From now on you are a new soldier and you must obey the rules. I don't blame you because you don't understand. Now I will explain to you why you have to shave your head.

The first is for hygiene and to prevent fleas from breeding, and the other is to check if you have tinea capitis on your scalp.

After joining the army, you may become a technical soldier. When operating machines, your long hair may get caught in the machinery and equipment, which may be dangerous to you.

If you join a front-line combat unit and get a head injury, long hair will interfere with the doctor's bandage and cause you to bleed to death. Now do you understand why you have to shave your head?"

These words were not only spoken to the woman, but also to Tan Yuqing who was standing next to her.

The woman's expression changed from gloomy to bright, but she still chose to protect her hair with both hands, looking determined not to shave her head.

"No... No! I won't shave my head! You can ask me to do anything else except shaving my head!"

Seeing that she still had the same attitude after hearing the explanation, Li Xi stepped aside and pointed at the exit.

"Then you can go. If you don't obey the discipline of the Punitive Army, there is no need for you to serve in the army."

When the woman saw that she was going to be driven away, she turned pale with fear and burst into tears.

"I can't go back. My parents will beat me to death. Please, please, please let me stay. I'm willing to do anything except shaving heads!"

Li Wei could tell from her few words that she was a typical example of a woman whose parents "sold" her to a representative of the Punitive Forces because of the treatment they provided. If she failed to join the army, it was easy to imagine what would happen when she returned.

In this regard, Li Wei only expressed his sympathy in his heart. He was not a saint and could not save the world. The glory of the Punishment Army could not radiate the world.

Li Xi asked again and again, but the other party was unwilling to shave his head. He could only wink at the two managers of the Longlong Convenience Store, and the two of them directly grabbed the crying woman and dragged her out of the screening room.

As the woman walked away, the barber continued his work. He came to Tan Yuqing, put his hand on her head, and comforted her softly, "Don't move, little girl. It will be fine soon. Listen to your superiors. This is for your own good."

His knife gently scraped Tan Yuqing's scalp, and Tan Yuqing's long hair fell off piece by piece.

As her long hair slid down, Tan Yuqing's tears also fell. At this moment, she felt that something as a human being had been taken away from her.

After a while, her head was shaved bald. The barber said, "That's it." Tan Yuqing touched her bald head and was dazed for a while, but when she saw a group of little bald heads around her, she felt inexplicably funny.

At that time she didn't know that shaving one's head deprived one of one's individuality to a certain extent, which was a kind of personality destruction. But since everyone had a bald head, it emphasized one's social nature, which was a kind of personality reconstruction.

The military is a highly organized society that is extremely oppressive to human individuality and extremely emphasizes collectivism. The military will use its own voice to force Tan Yuqing to realize this.

After the shaving work was completed, the only 10 people left on the scene were asked to line up and then receive camouflage uniforms, camouflage pants, belts, high-top military boots and training caps in turn.

The managers of the Longlong Store taught them how to wear these things correctly, and then let them sit down and rest. After the gas generator on the charcoal car was ready, they would be sent to the more advanced Longlong Store to wait for assembly and be sent to Hutoushan.

Wearing a military uniform, Tan Yuqing's figure seemed a little taller and she looked more energetic.

She touched her camouflage uniform in a daze, wondering why it was so well made and how the colorful patterns were dyed on it.

Li Wei walked up to her and handed her two things.

"This little booklet is a military dependents' certificate. Give it to your brother and ask him to keep it safe. With this, you can go to the canteen to collect your allowance at the end of each year. If you want to send something from the army in the future, he will have to use this to claim it.

That iron plate is the certificate of being a military family member. Take it back and hang it at the door of your home. From now on, you and your family will be protected by all the assets of the Punitive Army, Longlong Store, and Julong Company.

Don't worry, our protection is very tough. If anyone dares to infringe on the interests of military families, he will die miserably! "

Li Wei glanced at his watch.

"I'll give you 20 minutes to go back and say goodbye to your brother. Come back in 20 minutes and take a bus. You will be sent to a military camp thousands of miles away. The next time you see your brother will be in a few years."

Tan Yuqing took the two things, said thank you, and ran quickly to her home. She wanted to seize every minute and every second to say her final goodbye to her brother.

When she was about to reach the corner of her home, her uncle Tan Hongtao suddenly walked out and the two almost bumped into each other.

When Tan Yuqing saw her uncle, she subconsciously took a step back in fright. Tan Hongtao was also startled when he saw a little bald head suddenly appear, and he didn't recognize who it was at first.

But when his eyes fell on Tan Yuqing's somewhat panicked face, he immediately recognized the person in front of him.

Seeing that Tan Yuqing had her head shaved, he immediately started to curse: "You money-loser! Tell me! Did you do something immoral to have your head shaved? You are really bringing shame to our Tan family!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and wanted to go forward and fight. He was used to fighting!

However, after her brother was sold, Tan Yuqing was no longer the same woman as Vivinono. Seeing that this beastly man wanted to beat her like before, she suddenly became angry.

She grabbed half a brick from the ground and threw it directly at Tan Hongtao, cursing angrily: "You beastly bastard! What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson! Your home is your home, my home is my home, we have no relationship! If you dare to scold me again, I will beat you to death!"

Tan Hongtao was hit on the chest by the stone. He cried out in anger and rushed over to beat Tan Yuqing up.

"stop!"

Just as Tan Yuqing was about to be beaten up, a loud roar came from behind her, followed by a burst of dense footsteps.

I saw nine bald men in camouflage uniforms rushing up. They protected Tan Yuqing behind them, surrounded Tan Hongtao, and stared at this guy with unfriendly faces.

Tan Hongtao was surrounded by nine bald men at once and felt a little panicked, but he was also a big shot in the village, so even though he was nervous, he did not lose out in words.

"What are you doing? Who the hell are you? Why are you meddling in this money-losing business? Get out of here! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"

They were all young and energetic guys, how could they withstand the scolding? One of them stood up and pointed at Tan Hongtao's nose.

"You are from the Mala next door, you bastard! How dare you scold my comrade! Brothers, come on! Let him experience our comradeship!"

As he said that, he rushed forward and kicked Tan Hongtao directly in the stomach, kicking the man several meters away. The rest of the people rushed forward and surrounded Tan Hongtao and kicked him. Tan Hongtao howled miserably.

Tan Hongtao's home was not far away, and his three sons were attracted over. They started shouting and fighting, and then four of them were circled and kicked.

"What? Sister, go home first and leave this to us."

One of the bald men took the time to say something to Tan Yuqing.

Tan Yuqing was deeply moved, and she suddenly felt an unknown power bursting out in her heart.

While the army is erasing individual attributes, it also gives individuals strong group attributes. No matter how strong you are alone, can you be stronger than a group?

This powerful feeling of being together as a group can be addictive for some people.
