Chapter 449 Veterans and Recruits (Part 2)

The girl who helped Darlene and Yara rescue them was Helen, who had met Darlene before at the physical examination at the Knights' recruitment site.

"Helen, you have also successfully entered the Knights!"

"Well, I'm pretty lucky." Helen smiled, "I successfully passed the recruitment assessment and entered the Knights. I am now one of the recruits of the 3rd Squadron, 2nd Squadron, 17th Brigade, 4th Army of the Michael Knights. .”

"Helen, you are also in the 17th Brigade of the 4th Army, and so am I. But I am in the 6th Squadron of the 1st Squadron."

After Darlene and Helen briefly exchanged greetings, Helen said to Darlene and Yara in a helpless tone:

"I'm really defeated by you. Don't you know some of the regulations in the army?"

"Regulations? What regulations?" Yara asked from the side.

Darlene also looked at Helen with a puzzled face at this time.

"Actually, what the two veterans just said is right." Helen sighed softly, "In the army, recruits are indeed responsible for helping veterans with various chores... No, to be precise, it should be recruits We are indeed burdened with the obligation to be bullied by veterans."

"Why?" Yara said angrily, "Why should the new recruits be bullied by the veterans? They have to wash their own clothes! If we are asked to help them wash their clothes today, don't they ask us to help them clean their tents tomorrow? Why? what!"

"That's right!" Darlene also supported, "Why should we sacrifice our precious time to do these things that we don't need to do in the first place!"

"Sigh... This can be regarded as a bad habit in the army of our Britannia Empire. But maybe the armies of other countries are like this too." Helen sighed again, "I don't know when it started. At first, the veterans in the army suddenly began to bully the recruits who had just joined the army. After these bullied recruits became veterans, they began to bully the new recruits again, leaving intact the same tactics that the veterans had used to bully them. ——He even gave it back to the new recruits even harder, and then after these new recruits who had been bullied by the veterans became veterans..."

Helen didn't finish her sentence.

But both Darlene and Yara understood it at this time.

"What is this..." Darlene's face became a little ugly, "This vicious cycle is really disgusting..."

"I'm so sick that I almost vomited..." Yara's face was also very ugly, "If I had waited until I became a veteran, I wouldn't have bullied the new recruits so disgustingly..."

"There are many people who become veterans but will not bully new recruits." Helen continued at this time, "but after becoming veterans, there are also people who happily bully new recruits in order to repay the pain of being bullied in the past. There are many people here.”

"These people are really disgusting than poop..." Yara looked disgusted, "Isn't there anyone who can take care of them?"

"Sir, they don't pay much attention to this." Helen shrugged, "Actually, many recruits have been complaining to the Military Justice Department or their instructors, but these officers think this is just normal in the army. phenomenon, so these complaints became useless in the end, the veterans continued to be arrogant, and the recruits continued to be bullied."

"Say, Helen." At this time, Darlene suddenly asked Helen, "Why do you know so much?"

"Because I have a friend who was in the military but was discharged because of injuries. He told me all this. This friend of mine was also bullied by veterans."

"He also told me a valuable lesson about how to deal with bullying from veterans."

"The superiors don't pay attention to this at all, so it is useless to complain to the superiors. In the end, we have to solve it ourselves. It is absolutely not feasible to go head-on with the veterans. This friend of mine has personally witnessed several cases because of A recruit who contradicted the veterans and was bullied miserably by the veterans, thus spending a miserable time as a recruit.

"

"So - when facing bullying from veterans, the best solution is to avoid them. If you see a veteran approaching, just avoid it."

"Are you hiding from them..." Darlene bit her lower lip, "We obviously didn't do anything wrong. It's obviously the fault of these unreasonable veterans. Why should we behave like animals who can only live in hiding? Rat!"

"We can only endure it for a while." Helen sighed softly again, "We can wait until we become veterans. Darlene, you must remember - if you see a veteran, just avoid it. , Never contradict the veterans, let alone complain to the Military Justice Department and the instructors. If the veterans find out that you have complained to the superiors, you will also be targeted miserably by the veterans."

…

At the same time.

Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng's office.

"Captain, regarding the issue of war horse wear and tear, if we only rely on reducing the training intensity of the cavalry, with all due respect - it will be of no use at all."

Samuel, standing in front of Su Cheng's desk, continued in a cold tone.

"In the past few days, according to your instructions, commander, I have taken the lead in conducting experiments on the cavalry team of my 2nd Army, trying to reduce the training intensity of the cavalry. Although after reducing the training intensity, the rate of wear and tear of the war horses has indeed increased slightly. It’s lightened a little bit, but not too much.”

"Moreover, if the training intensity of the cavalry is reduced, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced. In order to reduce a little loss, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced. This is really not worth the gain. Therefore, I hope that the regiment The commander can terminate this experiment and restore the training intensity of the cavalry to its original level."

After listening to Samuel's report, Su Cheng raised his forehead and said, "I understand... Terminate the experiment on the 2nd Army Cavalry. I knew that reducing the intensity of cavalry training would be of no use at all..."

"Really...did you make a mistake...Why can't you even do the most basic logistical support..."

"After all, war horses are very expensive and delicate strategic resources." Samuel continued. "Not only do you eat a lot, but you also need to eat well if you want to run fast. They are also very vulnerable to injury. Most of the losses of war horses are It was because the horse’s hoof was overwhelmed and injured.”

"I will discuss the issue of war horses with the Northern Territory Administration later. Let them ensure the normal supply of war horses no matter what. Okay, Samuel, thank you for your hard work. Please step back first."

"Yes, I will resign first."

…

After Samuel exited the office and closed the door, Su Cheng was the only one left in the huge office.

"well……"

After Su Cheng let out a long sigh full of tiredness, he leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair.

"Are most of the losses of war horses due to injuries to the hoofs..." Looking up at the ceiling above his head, Su Cheng murmured, "Are the hoofs..."

After muttering a few words like this, Su Cheng straightened up his body leaning on the back of the chair.

He took a piece of white paper and a pen on the desk.

Then on the snow-white paper, I drew a "U" shaped object.
