Chapter 1291: Old tradition, scold first and then train
The sun shone on the wide sea training ground. Chen Jun looked at the neatly lined soldiers with a steady gaze. Finally, he set his sights on Yang Rui and said, "I came here in a very hurry and didn't have time to bring helpers. So, I need the Jiaolong Commando to help me."
"Commander, you can just give the instructions directly." Yang Rui was slightly stunned. He was originally looking forward to participating in the special training under Chen Jun and further improving his own and his teammates' skills, but he didn't expect that his task was to help.
"First, have them adjust their standing posture. They look too lazy now. I will give them a lecture later. When the difficulty of the training increases, you Jiaolong Commando Team will also need to participate. Is that ok?"
"I understand!" Yang Rui responded, feeling very happy. He knew Chen Jun's ability and prestige very well. It was a rare learning opportunity for the Jiaolong Commando Team to be able to get Chen Jun's trust and participate in this training.
After receiving the order, he immediately turned around, walked towards the naval training ground with firm steps, and began to reorganize the team in a swift and resolute manner.
After Yang Rui left, Chen Jun smiled and looked at Kang Tuan beside him, saying with a smile: "Old Tuanzhang, let's go over and take a look. It's a rare opportunity to fight side by side again."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kang's face. He hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "In front of so many soldiers, you still have to maintain your dignity as the leader. Don't call me old commander. I can't bear it. If this gets to Commander Chang's ears, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble and will be accused of taking advantage of my age."
Chen Jun heard this, his smile remained unchanged, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Okay, old chief!"
Kang Tuan's mouth twitched, he shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still followed Chen Jun and walked towards the naval training ground.
At this time, Yang Rui had quickly completed the formation work at the naval training ground. The navy soldiers lined up neatly, and the sun shone on their brand new camouflage uniforms, reflecting a dazzling light. However, there was more or less a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes. After all, not many people knew Chen Jun.
Many naval soldiers only knew that a leader of the army had come to give them special training. Moreover, the wording in the previously issued document was very exaggerated, claiming to build the strongest special forces at sea.
"Isn't the Jiaolong Commando the strongest force at sea? Could it be that this leader from the army can make us better than the Jiaolong?" Many soldiers murmured to themselves, full of doubts and speculations about the upcoming special training.
Yang Rui reported loudly: "Report, Comrade Commander, all the naval soldiers have gathered. Please give instructions."
Chen Jun nodded slightly, and his eyes slowly scanned the queue. At first glance, he saw a few familiar faces standing in the front, Jiang Xiaoyu, Zhang Chong, and Lu Yan. When these three guys saw Chen Jun wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, their eyes widened instantly, their eyeballs almost popped out, and their faces were full of shock.
"Fuck, lieutenant general! What was his rank last time? This promotion is too fast!" Zhang Chong has a straightforward personality and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his eyes always fixed on Chen Jun's rank, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"The last time we met, he seemed to be just a colonel. How come he suddenly became a lieutenant general like riding a rocket?" Lu Yan was also shocked, with his mouth slightly open, muttering to himself.
He recalled the last time he met Chen Jun. He never expected that Chen Jun's military rank would rise so much in such a short period of time.
"Others may not be able to do it, but Captain Chen will definitely have no problem. He is the kind of hero who can open up the Ren and Du meridians. He will become a peerless master sooner or later." Although Jiang Xiaoyu was also shocked, he had full faith in Chen Jun's abilities.
The three of them were talking in low voices, their eyes filled with shock, while at the same time they were trying to control their volume so as not to cause too much noise in the queue.
Chen Jun's eyes were stern, and his voice was loud and clear as he said, "Everyone, you have all read the documents. Those who can stand here must think of themselves as the elite of the navy, right?"
The soldiers raised their heads slightly, their chests unconsciously straightened, a hint of pride in their eyes.
"However, judging from your current mental state, you are by no means elite. Compared with the soldiers I have led, all of you here are far inferior." Chen Jun's voice suddenly became stern, and his eyes swept across the faces of every soldier like a sharp blade.
When they heard this, they instantly became angry, clenched their teeth, and clenched their fists unconsciously. They were all outstanding in the navy and were highly praised on weekdays. Now they were belittled by Chen Jun, and their self-esteem was greatly impacted. However, due to Chen Jun's status as a lieutenant general, they could only suppress their anger and dare not speak out.
"I don't need trash and waste, I only need strong people. Whether you become strong or are swept out like trash depends on your own strength." Every word of Chen Jun was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the hearts of the soldiers and arousing their inner anger.
The eyes of all the warriors were filled with anger. They clenched their fists tightly, their bodies trembled slightly, and they tried hard to suppress the urge to explode in their hearts.
Facing the soldiers' fiery eyes, Chen Jun, who had undergone advanced training, appeared more calm and composed. He had faced the anger of dozens of colonels before. Those senior officers had strong auras and sharp words, but he was able to deal with them calmly and with ease.
The anger of the navy soldiers in front of him was just a minor incident before the training. He didn't take it seriously and continued, "What? Are you not satisfied with what I said? Of course, then don't waste my time. If you want to prove that you are not trash, then show your elite strength. I remember you have a saying in the navy. What is it? Tell me!"
Jiang Xiaoyu took the lead and shouted with all his strength: "Let every drop of blood flow into the sea of our motherland!"
"Where are the others? I can't hear them. Are you all deaf?" Chen Jun's voice suddenly rose.
"Let every drop of blood flow into the sea of our motherland!" Everyone responded in unison with anger. Their voices were as loud as a bell, echoing for a long time over the naval training ground.
The navy soldiers were very upset with Chen Jun, and felt that he treated them as objects of casual teasing during his speech. If it weren't for the lieutenant general standing in front of them, if it was Kang Tuan who said this, he would probably have been beaten up by them and thrown into the sea.
Even so, they couldn't help but communicate in low voices within the team.
"He looks to be in his early twenties. Is this rank real or fake?" A soldier whispered doubtfully. There was a hint of distrust in his eyes, and he doubted that Chen Jun had the rank of lieutenant general at such a young age.
"If it's fake, I'll just go up and beat him up. The tone of his voice really makes him deserve a beating." Another soldier clenched his fists and responded indignantly. His face was full of anger and he was completely enraged by Chen Jun's words.
"You totally look down on us, and tease us like cats and dogs."
The soldiers were talking to each other, and anger quickly spread among the team. Someone asked Jiang Xiaoyu, who was the most informed, about the situation.
"I don't know anything, you will understand later." Jiang Xiaoyu changed his usual lively appearance, just smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He knew how powerful Chen Jun was, and he also knew that now was not the time to explain. Only by taking practical actions could everyone truly recognize Chen Jun's ability.
Lu Yan and Zhang Chong also knew that the person standing in front of them was the terrifying "ghost" Chen Jun. No matter what others said, Chen Jun's strength qualified him. In comparison, they had to admit that there was indeed a big gap between their side and the elite standard that Chen Jun expected.
"Why does our navy have to issue such a document? I regret signing up. Can I leave now?"
"If the Jiaolong Commando came to train us, I would accept it, but why did they have to send someone from the Army?"
Hearing these comments, Yang Rui and the members of the Jiaolong Commando couldn't help but twitch their lips. They secretly complained in their hearts, hoping that these people would not bring hatred to the Jiaolong Commando. After all, they knew exactly what kind of person Chen Jun was. They were all familiar with Chen Jun's legendary deeds in the field of special operations, and they knew that Chen Jun's abilities and methods were incomparable to ordinary people.
Just as everyone was discussing, Chen Jun's voice sounded again: "What do you think? It seems that none of you are convinced, which is good. Once upon a time, there was a group of colonels whose ranks were much higher than yours. They were also unconvinced at the beginning. Guess what happened in the end?"
After a pause, Chen Jun deliberately kept everyone in suspense, looking at everyone with a hint of mystery in his eyes.
"In the end, they all called me the leader." Chen Jun continued with a faint smile on his face.
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the team, and the tense atmosphere instantly eased a little. The soldiers were amused by Chen Jun's sudden words and couldn't help laughing out loud, and the originally suppressed emotions were temporarily released.
Chen Jun's face became stern, and he said solemnly: "In the following training, if you can satisfy me, I can call you anything, not to mention big brother. But if you can't do it, then you have to admit that you are trash and waste." His eyes revealed a hint of expectation, and at the same time a stern warning, which made the soldiers clearly aware of the importance and seriousness of the upcoming training.
After saying that, Chen Jun pointed in the direction of the beach and said, "Twenty kilometers of armed cross-country running around the beach. Captain Yang Rui, you are responsible for calculating the distance for me."
"No problem." Yang Rui responded without hesitation. He knew that the training arranged by Chen Jun would not be simple. Although it was just an ordinary armed cross-country mission on the surface, he believed that Chen Jun must have other considerations.
When they heard this order, they didn't think it was a big deal at first. It was just 20 kilometers. They usually ran a lot during the navy training. It seemed a piece of cake for them. Only Jiang Xiaoyu and a few others, who were familiar with Chen Jun's style, felt that this matter was not that simple. They knew that Chen Jun had extremely high requirements for training and would never easily miss any opportunity to improve the soldiers' abilities.
"Twenty kilometers is nothing, he can finish it with his eyes closed. I thought he had some amazing skills, but I didn't expect this was the only requirement." A soldier commented nonchalantly, with a look of disdain on his face, showing some contempt for the training task arranged by Chen Jun.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jun added another request: "Let me add one more thing. These 20 kilometers are on the beach, and you have to run on the sand. Anyone who runs on the solid ground will call himself garbage and leave here. As a navy, you have to follow the navy's rules. The army is off-road in the mountains. Don't make a mistake."
When everyone heard this, their faces changed instantly. Running on the beach is completely different from running on flat ground. The beach is wet and contains water. Every step will leave a deep footprint. Every step takes a lot of effort, and it is easy to slip. To complete a 20-kilometer armed cross-country run in such an environment, you can imagine how difficult it is.
"You only have two hours. Those who can't finish the run will be treated as waste and leave here. Captain Yang Rui, you'd better remember the time." Chen Jun looked at everyone with a cold gaze, without any mercy or tolerance in his eyes.
"I understand!" After hearing this, Yang Rui smiled. He knew that the training arranged by Chen Jun would not be that simple.
When everyone heard this almost harsh requirement, they were stunned and did not move immediately, wondering if they had heard it wrong. To complete a 20-kilometer armed cross-country run on the beach within two hours was almost an impossible task. Many people felt that Chen Jun was deliberately making things difficult for them and wanted to label them as trash. He himself was not a navy, and he had no idea how difficult it was to run on the beach. It was easy for him to talk big without any pain in his back.
Some people immediately said they quit and wanted to leave.
"Those who don't want to participate in the challenge can leave now. However, I will send the list to your Commander Chang later. These trash who don't even have the courage will never have a chance of promotion in the future." Chen Jun said coldly. There was a hint of threat in his voice, forcing the soldiers who wanted to retreat to reconsider their decision.
"Begin!" Chen Jun roared, his voice like a loud bell, echoing over the naval training ground.
Yang Rui next to him immediately pressed the stopwatch and started counting the time. Almost at the same time, Lu Yan, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhang Chong rushed out first, at a very fast speed, stirring up a lot of sand.
They obviously tried their best from the beginning, because they knew Chen Jun's training style very well and knew that this training would not be an easy task.
The people who were watching were stunned. Jiang Xiaoyu and the other two were the most influential people among them. They were usually very cunning, but now they didn't say a word and just ran as fast as they could. They ran as if there was a ghost chasing them. It was obvious that something was not going to happen. So, some people immediately ran out, thinking that they would catch up first and ask about the situation.
Some soldiers who had stayed behind felt embarrassed to stand there after seeing such a scene. Besides, no one wanted to be the first to be identified as trash. Whether it was the army or the navy, they all had a kind of pride in their bones that refused to admit defeat. The more they were scolded, the more this pride was aroused. In the Yan country's army, scolding people also required skills and levels. Chen Jun cleverly used this point and used fierce words to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
So, despite their resentment, everyone gritted their teeth and ran wildly. Their figures formed a unique landscape on the beach, and everyone tried their best to move towards the goal.
After Chen Jun watched for a while with a smile on his face, Kang Tuan came over and said to Chen Jun with a smile: "I haven't seen you training for a long time. I didn't expect that you are so good at scolding people to boost morale. It really opened my eyes."
"Old commander, this is just the beginning. Let's go over there to get some fresh air and enjoy the scenery." Chen Jun responded with a smile, his eyes revealing his confidence and control over the training.
"You can enjoy the scenery, but please don't call me old chief anymore." Captain Kang looked helpless. He wanted Chen Jun to stop calling him old chief, but this guy changed his words to old chief. What's the difference?
