Chapter 067 New Soldier

One day after the arrival of the "Future Company" airlifted arms, a large number of new recruits began to report one after another, and the whole base became lively.

As the highest officer of the base, Huo Xiu said a few words at the general meeting of all soldiers. There were more than 3,000 soldiers present. According to statistics, most of them came from local colonial areas, but a few served from other planets, which generally only happened to excellent soldiers and officers.

Judging from the evaluation given by the sergeant chief in charge of recruit training, this group of soldiers from the recruit training camp is generally of good quality and energetic, which is a good time to receive further skills training. Huo Xiu glanced at the sergeant standing quietly beside him, and they were also ready.

"New recruits!" Huo Xiu stood on the stage and looked around the quiet crowd. "Although there are more than 300 veterans who have served in this base for a period of time, I like to use the word "new recruits" to call you. Do you want to know why?"

"Because I hope all this is a new beginning. No matter what happened before and what kind of reputation you have in the local area, it has nothing to do with you - you have no responsibility or obligation to bear the mistakes made by your predecessors. The stopwatch has returned to zero, and you are standing at the starting line!"

Anne with her hands behind her back, looked at the quiet listening soldiers, nodded slightly, and had a preliminary understanding in her heart. Like those recruits who have just entered the barracks, they maintain the unique caution and awe of an officer in the training camp, and have a high degree of consciousness.

"You have been here to report for more than an hour, and you must have a little understanding of the current situation of the barracks." Huo Xiu said seriously, "It's dilapidated, incomplete facilities, backwardness and so on. Maybe you will be disappointed and may extinguish your good yearning for the barracks, but I have to tell you in reality that you are here to prove yourself and receive training, not to enjoy and vacation!"

"If you regret it and are tired of this place--" Huo Xiu picked up an application form on the table, "Go to the logistics office to get a form and fill it out, and I will personally agree to let you retire early and announce that you can't bear this glory and return to 'freedom'."

There was a soft cry from the field. On the day the recruits were assigned to the army, the leader's speech was generally positive, encouraging the soldiers to work hard and so on, but Huo Xiu made such an alternative - no encouragement, no praise, only ruthless declaration.

"You are free to list now."

After saying this, Huo Xiu was a little nervous, but in this environment, he had to do it. If a soldier can't even adapt to the difficulties caused by the environment, it can only be said that a soldier who can't even adapt to this is definitely not a qualified soldier, and there is no need to waste his energy on such people.

After about a few minutes, the first person in the team came out.

Huo Xiu focused on him, a comoral and a veteran of the former base. Under the attention of everyone, he turned around and left the playground and walked in the direction of the logistics office.

Everyone turned their eyes to Huo Xiu sitting on the stage. But he did not say that this scene was actually expected. After all, peace has lasted for hundreds of years, and the tenacious fighting spirit in the bones of soldiers has indeed weakened a lot in this environment.

With the first person to set an example, there was a wave of outrage in the next few minutes, and people from all directions of the team chose to leave. However, almost all of them were veterans who had served. Huo Xiu roughly counted the heads, and more than 200 veterans left in more than ten minutes. In addition, a few new recruits also made choices.

Thirty minutes later, no one moved.

Huo Xiu stood in front of the microphone again, looked at the crowd and said, "I'm glad you chose to stay. Although leaving and staying is only an inconspicuous small step, you can at least bear the heart when you were sworn in under the national flag. No matter how you behave in the future, I have to praise you - you are better than others!"

He looked up around the base and said with a smile, "This is indeed very different from the recruitment advertisement. To be honest, when I ran a few hundred meters to find the bathroom for the first time, I actually wanted to find someone to scold for more than ten minutes.

Huo Xiu's words made many people below laugh secretly.

"Laugh, soldiers are also human beings. Laugh as soon as you should." Huo Xiu doesn't mind this, "But after laughing, you must seriously think about your future requirements for yourself."

"In the face of all this, I can only say that 'it can't represent a lifetime'. What will happen in the future is all in our hands. As long as I still serve as your officer one day, I can only try to change everything. I'm not modest. Just take me as an example. If one day I really give up, congratulations - you are the most adaptable soldiers in the alliance, and I will give you a medal!"

The soldiers under him aroused a sense of competitiveness because of Huo Xiu's words. Through a brief understanding, although most people do not think that the major will give up, as long as the opportunity exists, many people will work hard to win the medal representing honor.

"Now," Huo Xiu shouted, "go back to their respective dormitories and wait for the sergeant in charge of you to resume normal military training from tomorrow!"

"Disband!"

The team was disbanded, and the remaining officers came to Huo Xiu's office.

"Annie, have the results of the population statistics come out?"

Anne replied: "A total of 322 soldiers chose to leave, including 300 veterans. There are still 2,760 service personnel left in the whole camp, including 610 air force soldiers, 70 senior non-commissioned officers and 85 officers.

"The number of officers is a little too small." Huo Xiu calculated that the ratio of officers and soldiers is nearly 1:30, and the standard of the alliance is 1:20. It is estimated that most of the reports of this phenomenon in this base are due to new recruits.

"Only the number of officers managed can be expanded." Liu Shixin, who was beside him, said, "It will take about half a year for senior non-commissioned officers to train their recruit skills. During this period, let some experienced officers bring more people, and other officers who graduated from military schools will use this time to learn."

Huo Xiu thought for a moment and nodded, "This method is feasible."

"Major Liu, you are responsible for arranging this matter." Huo Xiu said to him, "In addition, given that the number of air forces exceeds the standard, you and Lieutenant Lovell have organized the team into three squadrons, and you lead two of them."

Liu Shixin said, "No problem, sir."

Lovell also nodded, but she asked, "Sir, I checked that there are 17 spacecraft and 32* that can be used at the base, but the lack of fuel has become a problem."

"The fuel will arrive in seven days." Huo Xiu said, "You don't have to worry about this. Let's arrange the sergeant commander to give that group of recruits basic training first."

"Well, there is still plenty of time." Lovell said.

After the two left, the rest of the room were army officers.

More than 2,000 army soldiers, more than an ordinary army regiment, but the number of officers is limited, and most of them are second lieutenants or lieutenants who have just graduated from the military academy. Naturally, their experience is slightly insufficient. They can only expect the sergeant to play a big role. Huo Xiu is currently a headache.

"You will manage it according to the original system for the time being." Huo Xiu said to more than a dozen representative officers in the house and took a special look at Zhao Yong, "Our other equipment has not arrived yet. At present, the focus is on the personal quality training of the recruits. I will sort out their performance to me in two months. I need to consider reorganize them."

"I understand, sir!"

"Disband." Huo Xiu said, "Lieutenant Zhao Yong, please stay."

There are only three people left in the office.

"Shir, are you going to replace the original arrangement?" Zhao Yong asked, and he guessed that Huo Xiu asked him to stay because of this.

Huo Xiu did not answer immediately, but asked, "Anne, what were the original three camps?"

"It consists of an armored battalion, an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion."

"What do you think of the current situation?" Huo Xiu asked Zhao Yong.

"Come on!" Zhao Yong gave a comment, "The whole base completely belongs to that kind of pure infantry group. How can the armored battalion and artillery battalion say? Besides, according to the topography of this area, this arrangement fully reflects the ignorance and perfunctory of the officer at the beginning.

Huo Xiu nodded. He was indeed an elite from a famous military academy. His views were very close to him. In addition to being imperfect in some details, Zhao Yong was the most potential officer.

"So according to the current environment, I plan to set up a multi-environment combat marine, a flexible armored battalion, and the armored battalion can take into account the advantages of speed and artillery. And on this basis, I need to select the best group of people to form a special force.

"Oh, that's why you need to strengthen the army's personal training just now?" Zhao Yong suddenly asked, and he understood.

"There are some reasons."

"Part?" Zhao Yong continued to think.

"Hey, don't think about it. Our equipment is not enough. We can't ask for large-scale training in a few weeks, can we?"

"Oh, that's right!" Zhao Yong reacted.

"After understanding, you can pay more attention to me, including some officers. If you perform well, you can be promoted. Now what I need most is manpower!"

"I understand, sir." Zhao Yong said, "Then I'll go ahead."

"Go ahead." Huo Xiu said.

After Zhao Yong left for a while, Annie also said, "Shir, I take the liberty to ask, do you have any imaginary enemies in these choreography?"

"The armed groups in this area." Huo Xiu said, "If you want to regain your military prestige, those guys must become victims."

"Oh." She nodded, "Then I'll be fine."
