Chapter 1552: The Oath
After provoking Ye Xueli, Zhu Suping happily cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Ye Xueli, who was standing at the door, was so agitated that her face turned green. After all, she was a language teacher. How could she not understand the meaning of Zhu Suping’s words, which implied that she was an old spinster?
“I don’t believe it!” Ye Xueli was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She thought that Colonel Lu had sent his wife away. However, Zhu Suping said he had sent his wife home so that she would have servants to serve her.
Anyway, that woman did not live in the army base. She believed that she would get an opportunity to get close to Colonel Lu.
Ye Xueli thought that she was beautiful. As long as she interacted with Colonel Lu a few more times, she believed that he would notice her.
Furthermore, she also had many opportunities to interact with Colonel Lu. She was the children’s teacher and also the daughter of his next-door neighbor. Those two relationships gave her an advantage.
Lu Xingzhi, who had already finished his breakfast in the cafeteria, did not know anything about that. At that moment, the sun was shining on everyone on the training ground. The soldiers who had been training all year round had darker skin than ordinary people, but they were also more robust and energetic than normal people.
Lu Xingzhi stood in front of a group of people with his hands behind his back. His gaze swept across the faces of the people in the front row like an eagle. Every word in his voice was sonorous and powerful.
“Even though we come from different troops and branches of the military, from now on, we belong to the same group! As for me, I’m sure all of you already know who I am. From now on, I will be your colonel, the highest officer in this regiment! Today is the first day I’m taking over all of you. I’m asking you now: do you still remember the oath you took when you joined the Army? ”
Everyone was a little surprised that their Colonel Lu would suddenly ask such a question, so they waited for a few seconds before they reacted. Then, the voices said, “Obey the leader, serve the people wholeheartedly. Obey orders, strictly observe discipline, be brave and tenacious, be not afraid of sacrifice, train hard to kill the enemy, be prepared to fight at all times, never betray the army, swear to defend the motherland.”
“I repeat! If anyone is too hungry to speak loudly, stand out now. I’ll give you a chance to go back and eat your fill!” Hearing the sparse voices, Lu Xingzhi’s face immediately turned cold.
The men trembled, and no one stood up.
Who had not heard of the terrifying incident of Colonel Lu training recruits in the Jin City Army?
He even reprimanded the Chen family’s young master. It seemed to be something similar. When he answered the question, he was weak. Then, he was given a chance by Colonel Lu to eat his fill in the canteen.
He remembered that the rumor was that Colonel Lu had brought Young Master Chen, the little troublemaker, to the canteen and asked the canteen staff to steam a big pot of nest hair and put it in front of Young Master Chen. Then, he told Young Master Chen that he would continue to participate in the training when he was done eating. Colonel Lu left after that.
That big pot of nest hair was so big that even a company of people would not be able to finish a meal. People said that Young Master Chen did not participate in the training for a few days because of that nest hair. The matter was not resolved until Old Master Chen discovered that he needed to apologize to Lu Yanwang and Chen Xiaoye.
