2909 Fight For Honor
It was not a small matter to admit to cheating and have the news of it reported.
At the same time, it meant that it was impossible for the Chinese soldiers to cheat. It was all because the SFS border defense soldiers thought that the Chinese soldiers were cheating.
The referee looked at the Chinese soldiers and then at the silent Saluk. He said in a low voice, āLieutenant Colonel Saluk, what basis do you have for your suspicion?ā
āJust because the Chinese soldiers ran easily and because you were resting while they ran to the shooting point with rifles? Is that why you suspect that thereās something wrong?
āThis has to do with the honor of a soldier. The Chinese soldiers will fight for their honor. As for you, you must bear the consequences of this entire matter! Do you still suspect them?ā
Saluk was so conceited that he became impulsive and made claims without any evidence. Against the frank Chinese soldiers, he was bound to lose.
At this point, Saluk understood that he was in the wrong. The Chinese soldiers were not stupid enough to tamper with the weight. With their cunningness, they would definitely tamper with other things.
Facing Xia Jinyuanās pressure, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk knew that if he continued, he would be unreasonable. He immediately admitted that he was wrong, but he wouldnāt admit that he suspected the Chinese soldiers of cheating. That would undoubtedly make the soldiers of other countries look down on him.
He bowed and apologized sincerely. āIām very sorry. I didnāt make it clear, so it caused a misunderstanding. I donāt suspect the Chinese soldiers. Iām just shocked by their relaxed appearance. I just want to express my admiration for the capabilities of the Chinese soldiers.
āIām very sorry to have made our Chinese friends misunderstand.ā
He wanted to make peace, but he didnāt want to admit his mistake. Instead, he wanted to say that the Chinese soldiers misunderstood him. The eight Chinese participants couldnāt help but sneer at his apology.
Xia Jinyuan laughed softly. His smile was filled with mockery. āOut of everyone here, only you thought it was praise. This sort of misunderstanding⦠Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, why donāt you just say that your brain was kicked by a donkey and you made a mistake? Itāll make us believe you even more.ā
His words were very straightforward. Saluk, who understood what it meant, was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.
The Chinese captain said that his brain was kicked by a donkey! This was a curse in China!
He had been cursed!
Lieutenant Colonel Saluk was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head. He could only clench his fists tightly to control his urge to punch and fight. He gritted his teeth and said in Chinese, āI donāt believe that youāre really so powerful! Just wait and see!ā
āAlright then. Letās check and see if we lightened our weight.ā
Xia Jinyuan treated the otherās threat with cold disdain. He said to the referee and the military official, āWe have a clear conscience. Even if Lieutenant Colonel Saluk admits his mistake, for the sake of our honor as soldiers, we still insist on getting out backpacks checked. Iām sorry, but we have to insist.ā
The Chinese soldiers had to insist as their honor as soldiers was on the line. There was no reason for the referee not to cooperate.
The backpacks of the eight Chinese participants were placed on the electronic scale. They weighed each bag one by one⦠All of them weighed more than 35 kilograms!
It was the added weight of sweat and rainwater.
