Chapter 18 Recruit Training
Although his attitude was average, he did not embarrass Alwin. After taking the letter, the major officer glanced at the wax seal on it. He didn’t even remove it. He wrote a few words on it and put it in the drawer by the right hand.
Alwin glanced at it with a good eye. There were several similar styles of letterhead, also unopened. Immediately, he knew that there was more than one recruit in a similar situation to himself.
Take out a stamp and mark Alwin’s form, and put it on the desk with only a few pages of the two stacks of forms. the same imprint.
This is probably what a letter of introduction does.
“Okay, I’m your recruit training instructor for the next three months. You can call me instructor or Major Eugene.
Remember to come here tomorrow for a physical fitness test, even if It may be a waste of time for you guys, but the basic procedures still have to go. Go and call the next person in!”
“Yes, Major Eugene!” Alwin adjusted well, and was already up. Changed into a military salute, turned around and walked out of the room.
Standing on the corridor in the yard at the High Level and waiting for Gary to come out, Alwin sighed with emotion. Sure enough, there is no shortage of related households anywhere, even in the foreign world.
From the moment they got out of the gate of the recruiting office, the new army soldiers have been divided into three, six, nine, and so on.
And this Major Eugene obviously misunderstood his identity because of the letter, but Alwin wouldn’t be foolish enough to correct it.
Moreover, I saved the Huanghu by pulling strongly against a crazy tide this time, avoiding the huge loss of property and personnel of the old man, so I can get this letter of introduction with peace of mind.
Because of the shortage of manpower in the navy, the recruitment is adopted for a non-fixed period throughout the year. As long as a group of applicants reaches a certain number, the training process will be started.
Alwin and Gary were lucky to be just in time for the end of the batch.
On the second day, the physical fitness test was naturally nothing difficult for Alwin, and Gary and Gary both passed with high scores, officially becoming a glorious member of the Navy’s Third Fleet.
What awaits these recruits is a three-month training period before boarding the ship.
At least they must have a certain foundation for newcomers like them. After boarding the ship, they will not cause trouble or even die. After experiencing blood and fire baptism, as long as they can survive, they are basically a qualified army soldier. .
Alwin doesn’t know how the Navy’s top management arranges it. But let him pass the complaints of the test staff, he heard an anecdote, and finally understood why the recruiting office was so shabby.
“Everything is the credit of Lieutenant General Snett, the chief logistics officer of the base.” The staff said.
Lieutenant General Snett, who was born in the Aristocratic Family of businessmen, is a qualified quartermaster and a successful businessman.
He habitually marked the price of the things in his hand, and used the special status of the navy to turn it into several times the original profit, which naturally included the conscription office that was once grand and spacious, which made the navy very honorable. !
His philosophy is: “When we make money, buyers are our gods, and when we spend money, we are the gods of others.”
As you can only spend money, you can’t make money. The conscription office of the city has become like this, and the original venue has also become the residence of the Great Chamber of Commerce, in exchange for a very generous rental return every year.
This kind of simple and simple pragmatic guiding ideology has promoted the rapid development of Gabride, and has also brought huge military expenditures to the Third Fleet. It is not just in name only, but also in the hearts of everyone. The god of wealth of reality.
The staff of the conscription office can only nag a few words, even if the working environment is poor, they dare not speak out.
Alwin thinks this base quartermaster is indeed a wonderful person, he sees it very clearly, it is never the splendorous and majestic naval base that attracts youngsters to join the army, but the bright as a naval soldier or even an officer s future.
On the contrary, you can take advantage of the sense of security that the naval port brings to the merchants, and make full use of the land in the prosperous area to make profits for the navy. Then use these income to improve the benefits of military personnel, and really spend the money on the edge.
“I’ll have to deal with this quartermaster sooner or later.” Alwin had such a premonition in his heart.
In the training ground, the current Navy recruits sit in a circle on the ground.
“pa!”
The wooden swords used for training clashed. The two people in the battle took advantage of the situation and jumped back. After landing, they quickly bounced back to fight again.
It is obvious that the physical fitness of the two people in the battle is far from comparable to that of the ordinary person. The body shape turns the wooden sword to fight, and the reaction ability of ordinary people can’t keep up with their movements at all.
In addition, although they only used wooden swords for training, they made a huge screeching sound when they swung it. It can be imagined that hitting people’s bodies will not hurt less than real swords.
But these two people don’t care, obviously they are very confident in their sword technique.
“Okay, stop!”
The battle was suspended, and the sand and dust in the field also fell, revealing two silhouettes in navy training suits.
One of them was the instructor of this group of trainees, Major Eugene, and the other was an Alwin trainee who was honorably selected as a sparring partner.
I didn’t pay attention to the fact that Alwin gasping for breath next moment was going to be unable to hold on. In a month, Major Eugene had already figured out this kid’s temperament.
Serious, hardworking, perseverance, and perseverance are different from many of the rich and powerful children he knows, except for the fact that they are ten out of ten.
At the beginning, when I said that I would teach him the unique military sword technique of the Navy in advance, it was called a diligent and obedient person, and I didn’t need to call Tian Tian to move forward.
And then after a genius of a week to complete the entry, and then want to ask him to come out as his sparring trainer to demonstrate to other students, he will be such a half-dead salted fish.
And he also complained to himself righteously that the sparring delayed his training and learning of sailing skills!
“But, it doesn’t matter! Who made me an official Knight. He can’t beat this instructor at all, so he must be obedient.”
In less than a month, other “inscription students” with extraordinary backgrounds have all left the training camp one after another. Eugene knew that they had been arranged by his parents for a long time, and he never stopped them.
There is only Alwin Garriott, who spends all day in training camp like a sponge soaking up water, madly making up for all kinds of dismissive knowledge.
If you don’t catch you as a strong man, who else can you catch?
Even though the Navy is now a place where talent is concentrated, literacy alone is an important threshold for most recruits from a commoner background.
The literacy rate in Faretis has been promoted over the years and has reached 20 percent, with one in five people literate. While other countries that limit the spread of knowledge to the civilian class abound, literacy rates are only the norm in single-digit countries.
Simple text is still so, not to mention the extraordinary sword technique called broad and open road.
So if Alwin started by crossing a commoner in this era, it would really be a hell start. Putting a Divine Art cheat book will give you the foundation of knowledge without systematic knowledge, and you will not be able to learn it at all. meeting!
The huge class division is always manifested, but this situation is more obvious in the world with extraordinary power than in the previous life.
Eugene’s choice is also a helpless one.
“Soldiers! I announce that from tomorrow, the Alwin teaching assistant will teach you the military sword technique you just demonstrated on my behalf”
The words have been cheered by the cheers below Interrupt, why are these people joining the army? Is it really propaganda to fight pirates guard home, defend the country? It’s not for getting ahead, getting promoted and getting rich.
Yes! The original intention of the simple people is so simple, true and frank!
Any knowledge and skills handed down from the upper classes are related to whether one can fight back in life and break away from the bottom of the society. Let your offspring have the opportunity to escape the fate of farmers, herdsmen, and fishermen who were born!
Alwin was a little annoyed at Instructor Eugene’s self-assertion, but he was stared at by a pair of eager eyes, and he couldn’t say anything if he refused.
