Chapter 28 New comrades-in-arms
The sun in the sky is getting higher and higher, and the car called "receiver" has not arrived yet...
Thinking about the day we were going to report, everyone was embarrassed to be too noisy, or too indulgent. Everyone stood upright like a dull geese for a whole morning, but they didn't even see any hair.
I guess I can feel the embarrassment, collapse, and irritability through the screen. Especially, there is nothing to eat at noon...
Chen Bin has to admit that he has been fed by the US military in the three years he has been in the teaching world. Although the US military’s combat rations are not something for humans, the usual food is really good!
When I first came to participate in the selection, I didn’t think there was any problem with the bread provided by the Corps.
Although the portion is not very large, it is not impossible to eat. But now it is just that there is nothing to do with it...
It’s not bad, it’s not bad, it’s not bad, it’s not bad, you still have so little portion?!
Excessive!
I waited hard until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the bus to pick up the troops finally arrived!
The first thing that came to pick up the soldiers after getting off the bus was not to arrange for Chen Bin and others to board the bus. Among the few people, one of them looked a little honest and said that the man was dressed in irregular clothes...
Then he asked Chen Bin and others to lie down to do push-ups...
The little trick made Chen Bin feel a little uncomfortable, but it was not too much.
In the words of the former Squad Leader Dai, in the army, reasonable orders are called exercise, and unreasonable orders are called tempering!
Although there is still a new recruit who does not have a title in the French camouflage, in fact, who is not a veteran?
Chen Bin adapted very quickly to these small routines and details common in the army. When he was dissatisfied with his heart just now, Chen Bin felt that he had not really recovered, or he was called accepting reality...
After all, I was a sergeant from the US military the day before, and I had already passed the stage of being punished. I was all about other new recruits. After two years of being punished, I was suddenly punished again. The gap in my heart is simply too big!
After a small sensation, the remaining four hours of driving was quite comfortable.
Until the bus drove into the Fourth Regiment Battalion in Custer Town, the corporal who drove to receive the troops did not make any trouble. And here, a lieutenant platoon leader appeared in front of everyone with a sergeant commander.
"Welcome to the Fourth Regiment! Below, some of you will start training for recruits directly, while the rest will wait for the newcomers to come next week! Wait until the people who clicked the name will leave!"
After the lieutenant finished speaking, the matter was handed over to the sergeant commander beside him.
In the European and American military, officers are rarely responsible for the execution of specific affairs. They only make decisions and then notify the non-commissioned officers, and the execution is carried out by the non-commissioned officers.
Therefore, the army of European and American countries is often called "sergeant troops". Obviously, the French army's ideas for building an army are not much different from those of the US military.
After the lieutenant read the order, he ran away...
The rest of the job is the sergeant commander who took a few non-commissioned officers to start separating people. It’s about half and half, and there’s no need to carefully select...
Chen Bin's group of about 40 people, twenty of whom were taken away by the non-commissioned officers, and only one sergeant left was responsible for the remaining twenty. Chen Bin was among the twenty people selected...
"Everything is done! You will form a new training platoon with a group of forty people. The platoon leader is the Lieutenant Mandel just now. I am your sergeant commander, Kolev!"
While leading Chen Bin and others to the unknown area, Sergeant Chief Kolev said.
"I will arrange a dormitory for you later, six people per room. Except for one corporal, you five new recruits live in one room. When you read the dormitory list, if you find someone with the same nationality as you, report it immediately! Otherwise, if you find out if you are at your own risk!"
"Secondly, you need to keep in mind the rules here! You are not allowed to shop in supermarkets, use phone calls, and leave the camp! Communication in any other language other than French is prohibited!"
"Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Following the team, Chen Bin curled his lips slightly as he listened to the sergeant commander's words.
It is understandable that you are not allowed to call or leave the camp. After all, domestic recruits are not allowed to call or leave the camp for three months; they are not allowed to go to supermarkets... Although it is a bit harsh, it is acceptable...
It is not allowed to communicate in languages other than French... This is really a bit of a matter of course...
Although most of the people who come to register for the Foreign Corps will learn some French in advance. Some even join the French, but there will always be some who don’t know how to do it!
For example, Chen Bin originally didn’t know French. But thanks to his service experience and the fact that there were few Chinese people at the same time, he was finally selected.
Before learning French, did these people really think they were mute?!
However, it seems that the sergeant did not say that smoking is banned?
Chen Bin seemed to have found a blind spot in the words of the Sergeant Chief, but when he thought about it, Chen Bin was defecated again...
My own smoking habit was learned by Chris and others in the US military. When I joined the foreign corps, I didn’t prepare cigarettes at all...
Just as Chen Bin was thinking about it, the group of people also met with the large army, that is, a group of forty newcomers. Chen Bin glanced briefly and saw how many yellow people were, but it seemed that they were not Chinese...
This is the same as the Chinese think of foreigners. In the eyes of foreigners, they are all yellow people. They can often distinguish their approximate nationality by looking at each other's faces...
For example, there is a guy with a thin body and a little dark look. Chen Bin guessed that this guy is either a Southeast Asian or an Indian; there is also an uncle who looks entangled or melancholy, probably either a Japanese or a Korean...
Anyway, there is not a single fellow villager!
This made Chen Bin feel a little disappointed. After all, people are community animals. Even if they are not worthy of training from foreign corps, they are a strange environment...
When I joined the army in China, there would be a situation where fellow recruits would join me, let alone in a foreign country where I was unfamiliar with my own place?
Soon, the dormitory list came out.
In the dormitory where Chen Bin is, the dormitory chief is a corporal from Serbia, who introduces himself to Turner; the other four, except for the yellow uncle who looks over thirty years old, later Chen Bin learned that he is a Korean, there is also a young man from Romania, a strong Russian man, and a student from Brazil...
Except for the Brazilian student who is more French, the rest of the guys have half-baked French. Even Chen Bin quietly compared it, and these people were not even as good as the mute French he learned in the mission world...
But thinking about it, except for the few months I was transferred to the war zone, I had been learning French for almost two years (the first year of seal training). Although I didn’t have much chance to use it, I had a good accumulation of vocabulary and other things. And these people probably just learned it for a few months before signing up...
