Chapter 0063: My Son Has Grown Up?
"Xu Sanduo, right? Don't be nervous, today we'll show you the limits of human beings!" Wang Qingrui said with a smile. He said this because the 7th Company's cultural knowledge was not as outstanding as its training performance, and was about the same as the other companies.
The army in the new era should grasp both aspects firmly, so the regimental commander wanted everyone to see that it's not that cultural knowledge is difficult, but that you don't value it!
When the field propaganda vehicle arrived, Wang Qingrui told Xu Sanduo not to be nervous, but he became even more nervous—this thing could transmit sound, and with so many people watching, he almost peed his pants!
The soldiers watched silently as their regimental commander became the examiner.
"I'm asking you, what material is used for the tailpipe of our 82mm mortar?"
Wang Qingrui's voice was amplified through the microphone and several heavy speakers inside the vehicle, resounding throughout the entire firing range. Xu Sanduo panicked even more and stammered, unable to speak.
Wang Qingrui glared at him with displeasure, and Xu Sanduo trembled.
Seeing this, Shi Jin became anxious and tried to push forward. The regimental chief of staff, seeing this, asked with displeasure, "Hey soldier, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing that the person asking the question was a high-ranking official, Shi Jin quickly replied, "Reporting to the commander, I am his squad leader."
The chief of staff suddenly realized what was happening and gestured, "Make way for him."
Shi Jin then squeezed through and stood next to Xu Sanduo. As soon as Xu Sanduo saw his squad leader arrive, he straightened his back even more and his mouth became clearer: "The 82mm mortar uses an aluminum alloy tailpipe."
Wang Qingrui then asked a provocative question: "The Type 82 mortar uses a technology that was pioneered in my country. Do you know which one it is?"
In the distance, Gao Cheng was showing off to his colleagues—he couldn't help it, he just loved to show off. The 7th Company was far ahead in the technical assessment, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't show off!
"Why don't you go and develop the cultural projects?" the company commander of the Third Company said with dissatisfaction.
Gao Cheng chuckled, "You talk like you're really good at academic subjects. Don't laugh at your brother, we're all the same when it comes to academics!"
Just then, the regimental commander's voice came over the loudspeaker, and an officer muttered, "The regimental commander is personally asking about academic subjects? This is terrible!"
"Eight...eight...eight..." The voice stammered in response, getting stuck on the number eight. The company commanders looked at each other, fearing that the voice belonged to one of their own.
Gao Cheng had a bad feeling. He recognized Xu Sanduo's stuttering voice immediately. He hurriedly ran towards the cultural assessment area, praying in his heart, "Xu Sanduo, please don't embarrass yourself here."
"The 7th Company?" Watching Gao Cheng hurriedly run away, the company commanders chuckled. Academic subjects were a weakness for every company, but remembering Gao Cheng's smug expression earlier, they exchanged a knowing glance.
"Let's go check the cultural subjects taught in the Seventh Company!"
If you put it nicely, you'll be inspected; if you put it bluntly, you'll be laughing at us!
In front of the advertising vehicle.
Xu Sanduo was answering a question, but he wasn't sure about this one: "Fully safe fuse? Screw-in cartridge? Sleeve-type buffer?... It wasn't written in our book."
"It's a sleeve-type buffer!" Wang Qingrui answered his question, then asked, "What other tanks used the 120mm smoothbore gun from the Leopard 2 tank?"
"Report... It's not in this textbook." Xu Sanduo said, feeling wronged.
Wang Qingrui became dissatisfied and lectured, "You can't just rely on the textbook! I'll ask you questions from the textbook right now!"
Although Xu Sanduo was so nervous that he forgot who he was, he could still answer any question the commander asked about the textbook.
The two men's voices carried far through the loudspeaker—Cheng Cai had been having himself tested, intending to impress everyone with his answers, but now he shoved the textbook under his seat, muttering, "Xu San Daizi, fools are lucky..."
When Gao Cheng, who had been anxiously running, arrived at the assessment area, the question-and-answer session was proceeding smoothly. Gao Cheng, who had just been on edge, instantly broke into a wide smile. At that moment, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. When Gao Cheng turned around, he saw his colleagues.
Come and see the joke, huh? You didn't expect this, did you!
Gao Cheng laughed even harder, then casually remarked, "Why is it Xu Sanduo? That good-for-nothing kid, how could he be on stage?"
The third company commander's face suddenly turned bright red!
The regimental commander's assessment finally came to an end, and Xu Sanduo was picked up by his comrades in a daze—the regimental commander also took the company and battalion commanders with him. As for what they would do, we can guess from the increased pressure of academic classes starting tomorrow.
……
On the bus, Xu Sanduo finally came to his senses and realized that his comrades were all staring intently at him.
"I...I made a mistake again?" Xu Sanduo said cautiously.
"Damn it!" A group of people cursed, but Zheng Yingqi only showed a smile of complete control. They had just made a bet that as long as they kept an eye on San Daizi, he would definitely ask himself carefully if he had made another mistake.
The result is as it is now.
Despite the soldiers' laughter and teasing, they felt a pang of sadness seeing Xu Sanduo's cautious demeanor.
Like Zheng Yingqi, he regretted deliberately ignoring this guy some time ago. He had originally thought that he would turn him into a strong person during the "quarantine", but he was really taking things for granted!
"Squad leader, did Sanduo come in last place again this year in target practice?" Zheng Yingqi deliberately brought up the topic. Shi Jin shook his head and said to Bai Tiejun, "Tiejun, you need to step up your game. Look, Sanduo has made significant progress this time, but what about you? You're still stuck in the same place!"
Bai Tiejun was filled with shame and despair, as if he could see the sign of the Heartless Pit Master smashing down on him again.
"Sanduo, keep up the good work, you've made significant progress!" Shi Jin encouraged.
Seeing Xu Sanduo's shy expression, Zheng Yingqi thought of abdominal barbell rolls and asked, "Sanduo, how many abdominal barbell rolls can you do now?"
"Twenty-eight."
Zheng Yingqi asked, "Are you still carsick?"
"I'm not dizzy anymore, this is a great idea," Xu Sanduo said gratefully.
"Go back to the playground and check your grades over this period." Zheng Yingqi suppressed his excitement—it was time to let this kid make a name for himself.
After the assessment was completed, the troops prepared to return home.
"Xu Sanduo, your shooting performance is still not good enough. Work harder!" Gao Cheng deliberately patted Xu Sanduo's shoulder, looking like he was very dissatisfied with him. The other company commanders turned around and left angrily. They had never seen such a show-off. Did he have no shame?
Xu Sanduo had no idea that Gao Cheng was showing off, so he quickly said, "I... I'm trying my best."
"Alright, I know, hurry up and go up!" Gao Cheng was even happier after driving away a group of colleagues. Hong Xingguo smiled bitterly to himself, thinking about his partner... But he still went up to Xu Sanduo and praised him highly.
Xu Sanduo, who had been praised by the two big shots in the company, was still dizzy after getting on the bus until he saw Cheng Cai—who was sitting opposite him.
Xu Sanduo quickly pulled out a pack of cigarettes: "Chengcai, I bought cigarettes!"
It was a very simple thought: I was praised, and I wanted to share it with you—but Cheng Cai acted as if he hadn't heard it, and took out cigarettes and started handing them out to everyone.
Xu Sanduo was stunned on the spot.
Zheng Yingqi shook his head silently. Cheng Cai is really too young!
Wu Liuyi glanced at Cheng Cai, then reached into Xu Sanduo's cigarette case and took one: "Can I have one?" Although Wu Liuyi was a heavy smoker, he rarely smoked other people's cigarettes except for a few.
"Sure, sure, I bought the cigarettes to thank you for your help!" Xu Sanduo said hurriedly.
Bai Tiejun squeezed in: "Then I have to smoke one too!" Gan Xiaoning and Cheng Yongjun shouted, "I want one too!" The unity of the soldiers in the third squad overwhelmed Xu Sanduo.
Zheng Yingqi, who hadn't smoked since joining the army, unceremoniously took a cigarette from Xu Sanduo's remaining half-pack: "Can I borrow a light?"
"Don't you not smoke?" Everyone looked at Zheng Yingqi in shock.
"Don't you think smoking this cigarette is meaningful?" Zheng Yingqi skillfully lit the cigarette with Wu Liuyi's lighter and took a satisfying drag—a very experienced smoking posture.
Cheng Cai stood there dumbfounded. He knew this was a deliberate act by Class Three, but at that moment, he felt his face burning with embarrassment.
