Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Xu Wen’s expression slowly turned solemn. Then, she nodded and said in a serious tone, ”You’re right. When I was four years old, I went to my dad’s military unit. At that time, I happened to witness their military training. I still remember it clearly. When I walked over, they suddenly shouted the slogan loudly.

I was so scared that I cried.”

”I was four years old. I’m almost twenty years old now.”

The instructor had exactly been observing them all this while. He only put down his binoculars when he saw the two girls relax gradually from Ye Jian’s arrival.

Ye Jian from Class Three was indeed a good seedling.

”Our country’s standard of the goose-step was personally orchestrated by General Xiao. In 1950, the leaders of the country proposed a unified command, a unified system, a unified organization, and a unified discipline.

General Xiao, who was the Minister of Military Training at that time, immediately organized the relevant personnel to write the three rules of discipline, internal affairs, and the formation. As the three rules were implemented, they provided strong support for the formalization of our military and started being implemented in 1951.”

Ye Jian started talking about the origin and history of the Chinese military formation. ”After that, the Military Commission researched it and used the infantry composition that Commander Liu personally designed. Using the German goose-step as a template, they modified it using the Soviet Union goose-step and strengthened the swing of the arms.

At the same time, they also adjusted the pace to achieve the coordination and strength of the limbs so that we could imposingly march and make formation.”

”Don’t underestimate our formation training. Our predecessors have been studying and researching it for a long time and it has undergone constant adjustments. That’s how we got to where we are today.”

As she explained, the embarrassment on the two girls’ faces disappeared. Even the boys who were closer to the three of them stopped laughing secretly.

The mantra was just a trick for everyone to grasp the key points as soon as possible. How could they just listen to the surface meaning of the words?

You need to understand it on a deeper level, dissect it, and connect it.

”I seem to understand what you’re trying to say.” He Jing, who had good comprehension, straightened her gaze. ”The formation represents the image of us soldiers. It’s also the hard work of the old chiefs and seniors. It’s also the legacy of the military. We need to walk every step with respect.”

The smile on Ye Jian’s face got deeper. ”That’s right. The ultimate goal of team training is to cultivate the discipline and obedience of the soldiers. Good military posture, strict military appearance, tough style, strict discipline, majestic military might, and coordination of movements are all part of the team training.”

”The boys are laughing now. I dare say they didn’t memorize the drill regulations. Wait and see. A feast is coming.”

Her voice wasn’t loud or soft. It was just loud enough for the boys closest to her to hear. It was a hot day. In the high temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, the boys only felt a chill on the soles of their feet. It rushed up to their heads and they shivered violently.

The drill regulations included the general rules, the command of the formation, the movements of the formation, etc…. There were a total of 9 chapters, 65 articles, and 5 appendixes. It was a rather thick book!

Before the cold shiver could pass, a sharp whistle blew. The instructor’s stern and cold voice was heard. ”I’ll give you ten seconds. One, two, three, three…” If he said ten seconds, it would only be ten seconds. Those boys who didn’t realize that danger was coming couldn’t restrain their expressions. The instructor’s gaze swept past them coldly.

It was like a steel needle that pricked the boys’ scalps.
