432: Chapter 325 Preparations (Five-in-One)_5 432: Chapter 325 Preparations (Five-in-One)_5 Su Ming was really too young, and no matter how you looked at it, he didnât seem reliable.
He was puzzled how Su Ming had risen to the rank of major, but it wasnât the kind of thing you could just ask about directly.
âFine!â
Su Ming had no objections to the arrangement, he was happy to have some leisure time.
âAlright, then itâs settled!â
Shuâen promptly finalized the matter.
âŠ
In the afternoon.
Su Ming lay in the dormitory, scrolling through the wristband checking various officersâ information within the Thirteenth Legion.
Clang!
A noisy sound interrupted his thoughts.
Su Ming lifted his wristband to check the time; it was already past three in the afternoon.
Lazily stretching, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and left the dorm.
Although Hejassi had taken all the work, giving him plenty of leisure time, he still felt he should make the rounds no matter what.
Soon, Su Ming left the base.
Outside, the base was bustling, as Iron Heads moved stuff around.
From time to time, buses and military transport vehicles carrying soldiers arrived at the base.
Su Ming headed towards the training area.
Along the way, he saw some officers giving pep talks to their subordinates, while others began training them.
Each officer was incredibly busy.
However, Su Ming noticed somethingâthe training field had almost no officers above the rank of school level; it seemed the higher the rank, the more leisurely their job.
At that moment, Su Ming suddenly saw Ankaga.
There, Ankaga was sparring with a very muscular sergeant first class.
Crowds of non-commissioned officers beside them, faces flushed, continuously shouted.
âZhao Gou!
Come on!â
âCome on!â
âŠ
Unfortunately, the sergeant called Zhao Gou was no match for Ankaga, missing every attack.
Ankaga toyed with him like he was playing with a monkey, even continuously taunting him.
âDidnât you eat?â
âIs that all youâve got?
Are those muscles of yours made of plastic?â
âŠ
His behavior pushed Zhao Gou and the nearby NCOsâ frustration to the breaking point.
âBeat him up!â
âBeat him to death!â
âŠ
The numerous NCOs shouted angrily.
Regrettably, no matter how Zhao Gou attacked, Ankaga easily dodged; although a bit chubby, he was unexpectedly agile.
âAh, this is boring!
My turn.â
Ankaga suddenly burst forth, unleashing a relentless beating on Zhao Gou without holding back.
In a matter of seconds, Zhao Gou was down on the ground, and the surrounding NCOs immediately wilted like frostbitten eggplants.
Watching this scene, Su Ming couldnât help but let out a wry smile.
Ankaga sure knew how to attract hatred.
Su Ming continued towards the Thirteenth Legionâs training area, and when he passed by the seventh legionâs area,
he saw Rhein, stopped for a moment, watched Rhein giving a systematic pep talk, and then continued towards the Thirteenth Legion.
Before long, he arrived at the Thirteenth Legionâs training area.
He saw ten top-ranked non-commissioned officers standing ramrod straight in the front row, with other personnel arranged behind them according to their positions.
At that time, Major Hejassi was giving a stern pep talk.
âListen up, everyone, the teams led by me, Hejassi, never have cowards; no matter what dangers we face, retreating is not allowed.
Iâll lead the charge through hell or high water; if we retreat, Iâll cover the rear.
But if anyone acts cowardly, get lost right away!â
âYes, sir!â
The numerous top-ranked NCOs, as if injected with adrenaline, shouted passionately.
Su Ming stopped and watched the scene with interest.
He had to admit that this big guy, although not getting along with him, really had a knack for training troops.
But was he trying to usurp his authority?
If someone else had been the deputy commander, they probably would have jumped up already.
But Su Ming didnât care at all; he was too lazy to train these recruits.
What Su Ming really wanted was to transfer Rhein and the others under his command, but that was probably not going to be easy.
If they werenât part of the Thirteenth Legion, this would have been simple to manage.
But the founding purpose of the Thirteenth Legion was unity, which is why everyone was deliberately scattered to prevent factions from gathering together.
âSigh!â
Su Ming sighed softly, thinking about this.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
âCao Ran!â
Su Ming turned to look and saw a girl in a sergeant first class uniform, a bit chubby in the face, who looked quite cute, shouting at him.
Behind this girl, several other girls followed, correcting her.
âNo, his name isnât Cao Ran!â
âOh, right, heâs that, whatâs it, âSpyâ!â
The cute-looking girl suddenly blurted out.
When Su Ming heard the word âspy,â his lips twitched as he asked.
âWho are you?â
âThatâs too much, you donât remember us?
Iâm Lan Yue!â
Lan Yue placed her hands on her hips, looking somewhat angry.
âOh, itâs you guys, what a coincidence.â
Su Ming replied, feeling very awkward.
âHmph, you ran away so quickly in the City Lord Mansion, we looked for you for quite a while.
Now weâve caught you; itâs all because of you that we were laughed at for so long.â
Lan Yue complained to Su Ming.
âSorry, that was just a competition; I really had no choice.â
Su Ming apologized with a smile.
âFine, forgiven!â
Seeing Su Ming apologise, Lan Yue didnât persist.
âThanks, by the way, donât you need to train?â
âWe need to, we just finished and got a break.â
âI see.â
Su Ming nodded.
âBy the way, whatâs your name?â
Lan Yue couldnât quite remember and asked.
âIâm Su Ming!â
Su Ming introduced himself.
