military master

The new barracks, on the Eastern training field.

The four hundred or so recruits, oh, no, they should be newly promoted senior soldiers, who were selected by a standard that seemed to be unreasonable, stood upright in the queue, solemnly and nervously, even The air didn't dare to come out.

However, from time to time someone carefully peeked at the person standing in front of them, and then quickly withdrew their gaze like a frightened bird.

But at this moment, the person standing in front of them and making these new privates so nervous is none other than Colonel Bai Yuxiao, who just gave a brief speech at the conferment ceremony this morning.

Obviously, these soldiers did not expect that this Colonel Bai Yuxiao would not leave after finishing his previous speech, and that he would actually stand in front of them at this moment, so close...

At this moment, Bai Yuxiao has already taken off the officer's uniform at the ceremony, and put on a daily training uniform. Except for the epaulette on his shoulder that symbolizes his colonel status, this clothes is in harmony with the presence of What these soldiers wore was no different.

This actually made this legendary and lofty colonel, who had extremely high power and status in the entire Zhonghai City Military Department, a little more approachable.

Of course, it's only a small fraction.

At this moment, Bai Yuxiao, who stood calmly in front of these soldiers, even though he was just standing, could still give these newly promoted senior soldiers a great sense of oppression.

"Do you know why you are here?" Bai Yuxiao asked in a low voice after glancing at everyone present without warmth.

As soon as Bai Yuxiao said this, everyone fell silent.

Why was he notified here by the trainer?

They don't know.

"Report to the chief." At this moment, Fatty Zhou who was standing next to Lu Yang suddenly said, "I know."

"Oh? Say."

"It's the chief. The soldiers who are called here all have the chance to be selected into the Yaoqi training camp." Zhou Deshun replied loudly.

He still believed in Yangzi's speculation, but he was just glanced at by Colonel Bai Yuxiao, but the fat man felt a lot of pressure, so his voice was a little less airy than expected.

"very good."

Bai Yuxiao's simple two words have obviously confirmed Zhou Deshun's statement.

Therefore, after Bai Yuxiao's voice fell, almost all the soldiers present showed uncontrollable excitement on their faces.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Looking at the only soldier among the crowd who stood out because he didn't show too many "valuable" expressions on his face, Bai Yuxiao frowned slightly.

He remembered this person's name - Lu Yang.

To be more precise, he remembered the other person's eyes...

If the other party's face is just blank at the moment, he won't care, but he can always see a hint of interest from the other party's eyes, and this feeling makes Bai Yuxiao quite unhappy.

However, with good military qualities, Bai Yuxiao still maintained the most perfect indifference on his face, and did not show the weirdness and unhappiness in his heart.

"Since you already know why you are here, then, next, answer my two questions, and the time limit is one-third of a second." Ignoring the gaze from that Lu Yang, Bai Yuxiao said.

After a pause of two seconds, Bai Yuxiao asked directly: "Who is not afraid of death?"

This question made almost everyone in the room stunned, but soon someone reacted and quickly raised their hands: "Report to the chief, I am not afraid!"

Hearing these people's answers, Bai Yuxiao just nodded, noncommittal.

After her gaze subconsciously rested on someone who did not raise her hand for two seconds, Bai Yuxiao then withdrew her gaze.

"Then..." Pausing slightly, Bai Yuxiao didn't give the soldiers present too much time to think, and asked again: "Who is afraid of death?"

Probably because of the previous experience, these people present were not so dazed this time.

However, compared to just now, not so many people raised their hands without hesitation.

If you want to say that you are not afraid of death, you may need courage, but if you want them to directly admit that you are afraid of death... It is not a matter of courage, but a question of thick skin.

However, there are always a few exceptions.

But this time, Lu Yang became one of the few exceptions.

die?Life is their own, who would want to die?

As for being afraid of death, in Lu Yang's opinion, it is also a human nature, not to mention that for a person who has died once, knowing what it is like to die, he can cherish his life even more.

And next to Lu Yang, Zhou Deshun, who was still struggling to admit that he was afraid of death, was a bit embarrassing, but when he saw that his best friend raised his hand, he hesitated, and then raised his hand.

He glanced at the crowd lightly, without answering or making any judgments. Suddenly, Bai Yuxiao spoke again: "Just now, those who didn't raise their hands within a third of a second left, and the rest stayed."

What it means to leave and stay, these soldiers all understand, although they don't know why, but obedience is the bounden duty of soldiers, so after hearing Bai Yuxiao's order, those soldiers who were asked to leave even though their faces were full Feeling disappointed, however, they still left the training ground as fast as they could.

"Listen up, the rest of you. Staying now does not mean that you will be able to enter the Yaoqi training camp. You have ten days. During these ten days, I will personally inspect your training. Next, those who fail to meet the standard leave."

Hearing Bai Yuxiao's words, Lu Yang raised his eyebrows in a rare way: the other party only talked about the result of reaching the standard or not, but did not set the number of people who reached the standard or the so-called pass rate, which also means... the rest is less than Out of the 100 people, it is not certain how many will be able to enter the Yaoqi Battalion in the end, and it is even possible that no one will be able to enter.

This also confirmed Lu Yang's previous guess: Bai Yuxiao is personally selecting his subordinates...

"Do you understand?"

"Understood, chief!"

"Okay, let's disband now. We will gather here at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. Before coming here, everyone's task is to complete the 5km run." After speaking, Bai Yuxiao left.

……

"Eh? Yangzi, tell me...why did Colonel Bai Yuxiao select people like this?" Select the excellent ones and the mere qualified ones, and then choose those who are not afraid of death and those who are afraid of death?

What kind of trick is this?

After the dissolution, Fatty Zhou regained his curious look, and asked after Lu Yang.

On the side, Xu Da, who was walking with Lu Yang and the others, also stretched his neck curiously, and leaned over to listen.

"Why...?" Lu Yang muttered, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Excellent soldiers are of course excellent. Although the soldiers in the middle are good, there are a lot of them at once, and there is nothing unusual about them. As for the ones at the end..." Prolonging the ending, Lu Yang continued: "There are always a few A fish that slipped through the net, wasn't it?"

When he was still Ling Yunfei before, in his first year in the barracks, wasn't he just a fish that slipped through the net?

"Then why are you afraid of death and not afraid of death?" Xu Da asked.

Hearing this, Lu Yang suddenly laughed.

"When you're on the battlefield, the only thing you have to do is to obey orders. As for life or death, do you really think it's up to you then?"

What Bai Yuxiao really cares about is not whether the soldiers below are afraid of death at all, but the certainty of these people's thoughts about themselves. To do or not to do is what a soldier needs to decide when facing a problem, and hesitant and hesitant is unnecessary.

It has to be said that having been an opponent for so many years, just like Bai Yuxiao's research on Ling Yunfei back then, Lu Yang now also knows Bai Yuxiao very well.

Even many ideas are almost the same.

Even... For this opponent, when the two actually met, there were not many.

Speaking of which, when Lu Yang and Bai Yuxiao met before, they were almost always on some formal occasions. At that time, Bai Yuxiao was wearing an officer's uniform just like this morning.

Today, it was the first time Lu Yang saw the other party wearing training uniforms.

Don't say it, it's pretty cool.

"Hey, Yangzi, what are you thinking?" Zhou Deshun, who still had a lot of questions, couldn't help asking when he saw that Lu Yang seemed to be distracted and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What do you think I'm thinking?" Withdrawing his thoughts, Lu Yang threw the question back.

"Cough, I don't know what you're thinking, but... hehe." Suddenly, Fatty Zhou smiled obscenely: "You were half-smiling just now, you must have thought of something good, right?"

"Oh, who knows."

Of course it is a good thing to live again, but...it is hard to say whether it is a good thing to become a soldier under Bai Yuxiao...
