Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 48 My Ancestor! What are you doing?! [Please read on! Please vote!]

Ever since Chu Zhao returned.

Li Jiahao felt his back was heavy and his waist was slightly bent, as if something was pressing down on it...

But after seeing Ye Pengfei's very suspicious look.

This feeling of being "burdened down" became even more pronounced in Li Jiahao...

From the moment Chu Zhao stepped forward to the moment Ye Pengfei "interrogated" Li Jiahao with his gaze, only a few seconds had passed.

There are more pressing matters to attend to.

Tao Jianhua gave Ye Pengfei a meaningful look, then temporarily suppressed his curiosity and said something abruptly to Chu Zhao.

"You don't need to do anything, just stand here."

Before Chu Zhao could reply, Tao Jianhua raised his voice and suddenly shouted!

"Push-up ready!"

"Class monitors, one hundred push-ups!"

"We'll sing together again when everyone's finished!"

"I'm going to see if you can actually make a name for yourselves today!"

As if in response to Tao Jianhua's words, a rumbling sound of stomachs protesting suddenly came from the queue.

It's unclear whether Tao Jianhua did it on purpose, but he deliberately chose a spot near the cafeteria window to meet.

A gentle breeze blew, and the aroma of the food rushed into everyone's nostrils, making the slurping noises in the queue even louder and almost continuous.

But this did not elicit any sympathy from Tao Jianhua.

On the contrary, the complaints coming from the recruits' stomachs seemed to him like a signal, making Tao Jianhua's expression even more ferocious.

"Didn't you hear the command?"

"Get down! Do one hundred push-ups!"

"If you want to eat sooner, you'd better hurry up!"

The squad leaders stepped forward at the opportune moment, urging the new recruits in their squads with stern voices and expressions.

More and more new recruits, gritting their teeth and holding back their tears, lay down on the cold cement road amidst continuous shouts of reprimand.

They didn't understand why they had to be punished like this when they hadn't done anything wrong.

They didn't understand why Tao Jianhua was making such a big deal out of nothing, when it was just a song that wasn't sung loud enough.

They couldn't understand why their imagined military life was so different from the reality they experienced after joining the army!

But no matter how many questions they had.

The only thing they can do now is to obediently follow Tao Jianhua's orders and complete one hundred push-ups.

Because this is part of the training, and even more so, part of military life!

Today, Tao Jianhua wants to clearly tell every new recruit this.

In the military, there's nothing that's "taken for granted"!

Hungry? Want to eat? Then sing "A Song Before Meals"—sing it well!

Similarly, if the new recruits want to get the rest time they long for, they must strive to do their best in training, housekeeping, and other aspects!

force.

It's a place that emphasizes "equivalent exchange".

Tao Jianhua did not expect that this small-scale rectification would make the new recruits understand this principle.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand.

Tao Jianhua has plenty of time left, enough to firmly engrave every rule and discipline of the military into the bones of the new recruits, so that they dare not forget a single word!

In the open space not far from the cafeteria.

The recruits lay prone, enduring the increasingly unbearable hunger, struggling to do push-ups.

Before me lay the cold road, and in my ears came the roars and groans of my comrades, as well as the increasingly impatient shouts and curses of my squad leaders!

"Hurry up! Don't keep everyone from eating!"

"A hundred push-ups, not a hundred pull-ups, and it's still this difficult?"

"The quality of this batch of new recruits is the worst I've seen in recent years!"

"..."

Turn your attention away from the queue.

Tao Jianhua originally wanted to see Chu Zhao's reaction at this moment.

But when he turned his gaze to where Chu Zhao was, the sight that came into view almost made Tao Jianhua jump up on the spot!

Chu Zhao had already knelt down without anyone urging or prompting him, and began doing push-ups with heavy breathing.

Oh, my ancestors!

What are you doing?

Didn't everyone say you didn't need to do it anymore?

A few days ago, Chu Zhao was also in this pose, but after standing up, he fainted in front of himself.

At that time... Chu Zhao hadn't eaten...

And right now, Chu Zhao hasn't eaten either!

This moment is just like that moment!

With this in mind.

Tao Jianhua, who had been bombarded by leaders such as the head of the propaganda department and the deputy director of the political department in recent days, felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly rushed to Chu Zhao's side and said in a rather flustered manner.

"Chu Zhao! What are you doing?"

"Didn't I tell you you didn't need to do it?"

"You've only been out of the hospital for a short time! Get up now!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao didn't even raise his head, continuing to do push-ups while cheerfully replying to Tao Jianhua.

"Company commander, I feel pretty good right now."

As he spoke, Chu Zhao did two more push-ups, which made Tao Jianhua's heart pound with fear!

Chu Zhao wasn't trying to show off, but rather he didn't want the other new recruits in the company to feel that he was different from them.

He knew very well that in the army, one could be of poor quality or have a bad temper, but one absolutely could not be a loner!

If Chu Zhao were to cultivate his interpersonal relationships to the level of Li Jiahao, a single "democratic evaluation" could cut off most of Chu Zhao's avenues for meritorious service and awards.

For soldiers like him who hope to achieve something in the military, the phrase "popular support" is extremely important.

Anyway, a hundred push-ups aren't much. If this helps Chu Zhao integrate into the Fifth Company smoothly, then Chu Zhao will have made a huge profit!

"Hey! Chu Zhao, what are you doing..."

"Ugh!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her otherwise, Tao Jianhua could only sigh and give her some advice.

"If you feel unwell, immediately report it and stand up. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

"..."

at the same time.

A figure wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel strode out of the canteen entrance, surrounded by several non-commissioned officers and cadres. This person was the deputy director of the political department and the political commissar of the new recruits regiment, who had a very good impression of Chu Zhao.

Song Weigong.

The scene on the open ground naturally did not escape Song Weigong's eyes, causing him to immediately frown.

"What's going on over there?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sergeant stepped forward and succinctly explained the whole story to Song Weigong.

"Nonsense!"

"Tao Jianhua is the company commander, and he's eager to train the soldiers. But what's their company's political instructor doing?"

"Don't you know how to try and persuade them?"

Upon hearing this, another cadre stepped forward and cautiously spoke to Song Weigong.

"Political Commissar, the Fifth Company's political instructor...didn't he go to a grassroots political work training course? He won't be back for another two weeks."

"Right now, the Fifth Company only has Tao Jianhua as its commander..."

Song Weigong's expression grew increasingly impatient, and he then gave instructions to the communications officer beside him.

"Go and inform Tao Jianhua that that's enough!"

"The new recruits haven't been in camp long, so we can take our time with everything."

"yes!"
