Chapter 417: Chapter 417
Xing Nong and Yaoguang were the first to start clapping. In peacetime, earning a First-class Merit is rarer than winning the lottery. Their dear friend achieving such an honor thrilled them beyond measure! Follow current novels on novel fire.net
The applause grew louder. No matter what everyone was thinking, this congratulations was obligatory. Everyone had seen the terrible condition Luo Ye was in when he was rescued. Even those who were jealous had to keep it to themselves.
Mo Datong pressed down his palms, and once the noise settled, he looked towards Luo Ye: "Say a few words to everyone."
Luo Ye turned to face the trainees, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips: "Earning such an honor excites me tremendously. In the days to come, I will train and study even harder to be worthy of this olive green uniform!"
After Luo Ye rejoined the ranks, Mo Datong scanned the crowd and spoke loudly: "Some of you might be wondering, why does capturing a single criminal merit such high honor for Luo Ye?
Let me tell you, the crime organization we’ve dismantled committed murder, drug trafficking, and human organ trafficking - utterly ruthless.
For a long time, these criminals have moved across the country, targeting vulnerable individuals like wanderers, singles, and the mentally challenged, brutally killing them for profit. Their actions were atrocious, shocking to the conscience!
The case was solved swiftly, and all involved were apprehended. Everyone knows why. So tell me, does Luo Ye deserve this honor?"
"Good, I hope this ’yes’ comes sincerely from your hearts. In the coming days, turn your envy and jealousy into motivation. For this training session, let’s aim to deliver a perfect response! Do we have the confidence?"
A peculiar smile appeared on Mo Datong’s stern face: "This afternoon’s training...will be quite special - helping farmers with harvest!
It’s the harvest season now. Some elderly loners in the village don’t have much land, and lacking both modern and traditional tools like ox carts and horse carts, they wait for others to help bring back the gathered corn, beans, and sweet potatoes.
Some elderly are afraid of losing their yield, so they carry it basket by basket back home. Your task is to help these seniors collect their crops and tidy everything up smoothly. Any problems?"
"Then, proceed as per the original grouping method, two per group, and move out!"
Yu Na stepped forward: "Report to the commandant, I do not want to be partnered with Yan Han!"
"Why?" Mo Datong asked expressionlessly.
"Report to the commandant, he simply won’t consider anyone else’s opinion. Right or wrong, we have to obey him. As a partner, I cannot tolerate it!"
"You were the one who initially requested to be paired with Yan Han, weren’t you?"
"Yu Na, tell me, is this appropriate? This is the military, not a kindergarten!!"
"Report to the instructor, I absolutely cannot tolerate being in a group with him, even if you deduct five points from me, please change my partner!"
Yu Na’s attitude was very firm, and murmurs began spreading throughout the ranks.
Yan Han stepped forward with a pale face: "Report to the commandant, what she’s saying is not true. She claims I don’t listen to opinions, but the key issue is, she never seeks my opinion.
When looking for landmarks, her sense of direction is clearly worse than mine, yet she insists on holding the map and deciding our route. If it weren’t for her folly, we would never have scored so low in the terrain training."
"Yan Han, speak with conscience. During the terrain training, who listened to whom more?"
"If it wasn’t for your stubbornness, would we have ended up in the marsh?"
"We were on the right path, but you insisted on grabbing the map from me. If you hadn’t been so distrustful, how could the accident have happened? And now you have the gall to blame me? I’m astounded!"
"If we hadn’t taken so many wrong turns, would I have needed to grab the map from you? Jiaojiao, you carried an air of superiority throughout, and now you even complain to the commandant. How can you be so shameless?"
Having gotten a clear enough idea of the situation, and feeling that the moment was ripe, Mo Datong no longer just watched: "Alright, enough. Both of you reflect on yourselves. Do you act like soldiers?
Comrades in arms should confidently entrust their backs to each other, believing the other would block bullets for them. Look at you two, do you resemble that?"
"Report to the commandant, no matter what, I do not want to be in a group with him!"
