Chapter 226: Special Joining Ceremony
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The auditorium was actually the cafeteria of the Fourth Company. However, the tables and chairs were all put away, and the windows were covered with black curtains.
“Are we going to watch a movie? Look at this in a normal exercise class. I like it!”
“Forget it. 1 have to write my feedback for the Politics class later. I’d rather go to training!”
In front of them, there was a soft voice. It was two new recruits who were mumbling.
The voice was very soft, but no matter how soft it was, Wang Ye could hear it.
The others beside them could definitely hear it too.
This wasn’t a new recruit company. There were many veterans around. One of the officers in their class turned his head and glared at them. The two of them immediately fell silent.
Wang Ye didn’t say anything, but he looked around.
Now, the entire company was here, including the cooks who weren’t there when they gathered.
And not just humans, but also dogs.
Hmm… It was not that someone looked like a dog, but real dogs.
In front of everyone, a big dog and two small dogs were actually sitting there with a very proper attitude.
In fact, Wang Ye had seen these three dogs when they gathered for the morning exercise.
When everyone ran, they followed behind.
Qiao Xuan told Wang Ye that these were the dogs of the 4th Company. The big one was called Blackmouth, and the two smaller ones were its pups. They were all descendants of military dogs, but they were not considered official military dogs.
However, in the company, they also had a high status, especially the big dog. Before the new recruits got familiar with it, it was best not to wear casual clothes and jump in front of it, or they would definitely be bitten.
At first, Wang Ye didn’t believe that it could recognize clothes.
However, when they entered the auditorium just now, they were right at the door. These dogs had been very obedient the entire time, watching without saying a word. After everyone entered, they came in and sat down. They didn’t move or walk around, which made Wang Ye very curious.
He looked at the three dogs in front of him curiously, but before Wang Ye could look at them, Wu Jianfeng walked in front of everyone.
With a long face, Wu Jianfeng looked around at everyone and then shouted in a deep voice, “Next, follow the rules and don’t speak. Watch carefully!”
Wang Ye originally thought that he would go up and lecture him. After all, he didn’t talk much about morning exercises. Now, he had moved a small bench over and sat there during the exercise class.
Wasn’t this the preparation for the ideology class?
Who knew that he would be so straightforward?
Soon, Wu Jianfeng walked to the side again.
A piece of fluorescent cloth was placed on the wall behind where he had been standing.
The projector hanging above everyone’s head lit up.
“Ah!”
A shrill female scream came from the speakers on both sides, giving Wang Ye a fright.
The moment the video started, it was like a bolt of lightning had struck.
Not only Wang Ye, but the two recruits sitting in front obviously felt the same.
However, Wang Ye was not in the mood to think about it or complain.
Because the image was shown.
The scene showed a few characters that were often seen in war movies. They were crazily chasing after ordinary civilians in tattered clothes.
The bayonet would stab the moment it caught up.
Those who ran far away were directly shot.
On the screen, smoke rose everywhere as the people fled in panic. However, they were like demons, killing the people everywhere with ferocious smiles.
Wang Ye clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes turned red.
However, this was only the beginning. All kinds of behaviors that broke the bottom line appeared on the screen.
Beheading competitions, machine gun shooting, burning, killing, looting, all kinds of atrocities…
Wang Ye gritted his teeth as he watched.
He recognized it, and there was a voice and narration in the movie that clearly explained what was going on.
The Beijing Massacre in 1977.
Of course, Wang Ye knew about this period of history. He had learned about it during compulsory education, but in his two lifetimes, Wang Ye had never watched such a documentary. In the past, he had only seen some pictures and reports.
He hated it back then, but at this moment, the vivid scene was accompanied by a narration.
“Woof woof woof!”
In front of them, the three dogs of the 4th Company could not keep quiet. They kept barking at the ferocious characters on the screen. A few veterans went forward to hug them and comforted them to stop their barking.
Nearly two hours. The documentary lasted for nearly two hours.
Wang Ye kept staring at the screen, his eyes bloodshot.
To be honest, the new recruits even had a lot of educational classes. The educational classes in the classroom were accompanied by some pictures and even movies.
However, Wang Ye had never been so agitated and unable to calm down.
His heart seemed to have swelled up a few times. He clenched his fists tightly, and the blood in his body seemed to be steaming.
Looking at the Japanese on the screen, Wang Ye wished that he wasn’t reborn here, but in the 37th year.
It was too infuriating.
In fact, Wang Ye wasn’t the only one whose emotions were fluctuating violently.
The entire 4th Company, although there wasn’t much noise during the process of watching the disciplinary film, let alone the veterans, the recruits ‘eyes were all red, and some even had tears on their faces.
They couldn’t help but shed tears when they saw their compatriots being tortured in the video.
The images and sounds stopped.
Wu Jianfeng’s eyes were also red. He clenched his fists and stood in front of the screen again.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
“Report, 1 want to take revenge and kill these animals.”
“Report, we must strengthen our national defense and train hard to prevent this from happening again.”
The two recruits from the training camp quickly stood up.
Wang Ye didn’t get up. His fists were still clenched tightly, and he couldn’t quite walk out of the scene just now.
“Wang Ye!”
Wu Jianfeng looked over and directly called out names.
Wang Ye gritted his teeth and stood up, “Sir, I hate that I was born at the wrong time, but 1 swear that if 1 ever meet those soldiers in the future, 1 will make them pay with their blood!”
When Wang Ye said this, his gaze was unprecedentedly sharp.
These were the most sincere words in his heart.
These words were too far away. Wang Ye also knew that it was almost impossible to see such a scene in society now. At the very least, he had never seen such a scene in the next decade or so in the timeline of his rebirth.
However, Wang Ye knew that some international military competitions and activities would involve soldiers from many countries, including those soldiers.
Blood for blood. If he couldn’t return to the past, he would vent his anger on the modern day version of those soldiers.
There was no need to talk about rationality, let alone the fact that the people who made the mistake were not the same group of people. Wang Ye only knew that they were of the same race, and he was of the same blood as the people who were tortured and killed in the disciplinary film.
“Sit down!”
Wu Jianfeng didn’t comment on Wang Ye’s words. After letting Wang Ye sit down, he didn’t order anyone else.
He looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, “Soldier, I don’t know what you think of this profession, nor do I know what you think of this profession in a peaceful era.
I don’t even know why you came to join the army.
However, what 1 want to tell you now is:
Soldiers are the security of a country and a nation. They are the safety of our parents, brothers, and sisters.
Did you see the scene just now?
I believe you all know that this is not fiction, but history.
It had really happened, and reality was even crueler and bloodier than this disciplinary film.
300,000!
300,000 of our compatriots were slaughtered here.
However, during the entire war, the entire modern history…
Our sacrifices are calculated in tens of millions.
Why?
It’s because our country was weak, our army was weak, and our weapons and equipment were weak.
Peace has never depended on charity from others. A country does not have its own powerful army. Our recent history, the disciplinary film just now, is a lesson.”
Looking at everyone, Wu Jianfeng’s voice contained something that was unclear. “Comrades, soldiers, the past is history, but times have changed, but the environment has not.
The disputes between countries continued.
And in this era, we are wearing these clothes.
Do you still want to see this scene repeat itself?”
No!
Everyone’s faces turned red as they roared loudly.
At this moment, it was as if everyone wanted to use this voice to vent all their frustrations. It was as if they wanted to use this voice to travel through history and return to the era of the documentary to change that tragedy.
At this moment, the three military dogs raised their heads and barked.
“Very good. 1 believe that you are saying this from the bottom of your hearts.”
“Because 1 know that you are a good man with the blood of the country flowing in you!” Wu Jianfeng said in a deep voice.
After saying this, Wu Jianfeng said loudly, “Open the windows, everyone stand up!”
The projector was turned off, and the fluorescent screen went up.
Wu Jianfeng, as well as the captain instructor whom Wang Ye had met in the morning and whom he had spoken to, also stepped forward and stood side by side with Wu Jianfeng.
“Next, 1 announce that the year io Iron Blood Fourth Company’s new recruit ceremony officially begins.”
