Chapter 37: Advanced Training Camp
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the canteen, Gu Qingjiu, who had gotten food, was busy eating.
The 2000 meter run had completely exhausted her, and she came to the canteen with Yu Bao’er whilst supporting each other.
And this was just the beginning.
But after such a fierce jog, it did not improve Gu Qingjiu’s appetite. After eating two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, she was already full.
Yu Bao’er only ate half of a steamed bun.
Gu Qingjiu was a little surprised. “You barely ate. There’s still training later, won’t you get hungry?”
Yu Bao’er rolled her eyes. “Do you think I’m like you? I have a small appetite. I’ll be fine.”
Gu Qingjiu did not mind hearing what Yu Bao’er had commented about her. It was still important to have a full stomach.
After eating, they kept track of the time and went to gather after 20 minutes.
Because they went in batches, the time to assemble was different.
Now, it was 6: 30 a.m.
The jog had lasted for half an hour.
The other veteran soldiers were up and training.
Unlike the new recruits, the training time for them was fixed, and they would not be forced to wake up so early. But in the summer, their training time would be pushed forward.
The people from the seventh squad went to the corner of the field which belonged to the training camp of the new recruits.
Chen Haoyang said, “Today’s training program is to practice your goose steps and assembly. Every time I see you assemble. You look like a group of vagrants.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what they were going to train for that day.
But soon, it could be seen that they were too complacent.
They were made to carry out goose steps and walk endlessly. Although they were not honor-guards, they had to look the part. Since they had run 2000 meters in the morning and then was followed by this type of training, of course, it had left their legs heavy and aching.
During the one hour break, Yu Bao’er held Gu Qingjiu and wailed. “I thought it would be that chief instructor who would be training us. In the end, he disappeared after punishing us. How can we survive without any emotional support?”
Gu Qingjiu said nothing.
What could she say?
After patting her numb legs, Gu Qingjiu felt that her legs would hurt in the next few days.
There would be such consequences under sudden high-intensity training, not to mention continuous training every day.
It was just a child’s play today.
Yu Bao’er patted her legs and complained, “Actually, I didn’t want to be an ordinary soldier. I wanted to go directly to the advanced training camp, but I didn’t meet the requirements.”
Gu Qingjiu was shocked. “What advanced training camp?”
Hearing Gu Qingjiu’s curious voice, Yu Bao’er seemed slightly proud. “You don’t know about it, do you? Our training camp for new recruits is the most basic one. Fundamentally, we’ll just train for a few years and there is no great future. And the advanced training camp is different. It trains combat soldiers, and they can even touch guns!”
When it came to the last two words, Yu Bao’er’s voice suddenly became softer.
With such a large population and strict management of firearms, Hua Nation naturally had different arm forces that could use firearms.
If soldiers at this level like Gu Qingjiu did not improve their prospects, they were basically ordinary soldiers. In terms of military rules, they did not have the qualifications to hold guns.
