“Write carefully, think before you write!”
In the cafeteria, Wang Ye and Jiang Huai separated, and under his guidance, they went to the office to get paper and pens.
At this moment, the reconnaissance soldiers in the cafeteria began writing with paper and pens in hand.
Wang Ye stood beside them.
Naturally, apart from Wang Ye, there were also some soldiers from the kitchen brigade in the cafeteria who were watching with smiles on their faces.
This made the reconnaissance soldiers feel quite uncomfortable.
Being watched by Wang Ye was one thing, but now, being gawked at by a group of kitchen brigade chefs, each reconnaissance soldier felt very uneasy.
But when push came to shove, Wang Ye ordered them to write here, and they had no choice but to comply.
It wasn’t until three o’clock in the afternoon that someone finally began to stop writing one by one.
Now Wang Ye also sat down and took the insights and experiences they handed over.
The first one.
Wang Ye only glanced at it and immediately widened his eyes.
“Li Ping!”
“Here!” The soldier who had just handed in his paper at the table on the far side stood up immediately.
Wang Ye looked over; this was a junior non-commissioned officer.
“Do you think I’m uneducated, or do you think my time in the military is too short for me to know better?”
Wang Ye directly criticized, and with just one sentence, he made the other person visibly embarrassed.
At this moment, other reconnaissance soldiers, including the kitchen brigade chefs, were all watching him, and some chefs were even moving closer to Wang Ye, as if they wanted to peek at what was written on the paper, which irritated Wang Ye with just one glance.
However, Wang Ye didn’t give them a chance at all.
He directly crumpled up the paper and threw it onto the dining table where he was sitting.
Then, Wang Ye looked at everyone and said, “Respecting others is respecting yourself. Don’t think I’m joking with you. The Reconnaissance Soldier’s Song should be copied word for word. Do you think that because I have a short military career, 1 haven’t seen this movie or can’t remember the lyrics?”
Wang Ye directly exposed the issue.
In an instant, Li Ping, who was still standing there, felt even more embarrassed, especially when he glanced at his squad leader and saw the stern look his squad leader was giving him, he quickly lowered his head.
This was a complete embarrassment.
“Let me make it clear to you all, if you don’t write seriously, and if anyone here thinks they can just write whatever they want without consequences, like a flash of lightning or a gentle breeze, I will make you copy the Reconnaissance Soldier’s Song one hundred times!”
At that moment, more than one reconnaissance soldier lowered their heads in shame.
Afterward, Wang Ye continued reading.
Then, Wang Ye’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.
“Zhang Han!”
“Here!”
A soldier from the second squad stood up, and Wang Ye didn’t say anything to him. He simply crumpled the paper and threw it onto his table.
“Rewrite!”
“Yes!”
The soldier immediately sat down, feeling relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He had prepared himself for the scolding because he had also copied the lyrics, though not verbatim, but mostly in Chinese.
In fact, he wasn’t the only one who had done so.
Next, Wang Ye looked at the twelve insights and experiences that had been submitted.
Half of them had copied the lyrics, and some of the smarter ones had mixed in parts of the lyrics and added a few of their own words.
With a stern face, Wang Ye quickly flipped through them one by one.
He didn’t call out any more names, but at this moment, in the cafeteria, except for a few fearless chefs from the kitchen brigade who were winking at each other, the reconnaissance soldiers dared not even breathe.
In reality, they had thought of just casually writing something to get through this task, thinking that Wang Ye, being a new officer, wouldn’t really push them too hard.
In addition to their belief that Wang Ye had a short military career and might not have seen the movie, even if he had, he might not remember the lyrics, they simply found this task difficult to complete. Some of them had even quietly asked the kitchen brigade leader when doing laundry for tips on how to write this, so a few of the fearless ones decided to take that approach.
“You’re all quite something!” After reviewing the first batch of insights and experiences submitted, Wang Ye looked at them with a cold tone.
At this moment, the reconnaissance soldiers felt like the air in the cafeteria had become thin.
“I initially thought it was just one person, and then the second one did the same. Now there’s a third and a fourth. It seems like you all don’t take me, your platoon leader, seriously!”
“Platoon leader, their attitude is not right. 1 apologize on their behalf, and I’ll make sure they rewrite it immediately!” A junior non-commissioned officer from the first squad stood up.
At that moment, he was cursing internally as well. What a bunch of lunatics! If it were just one or two, that would be one thing, but there were so many fearless ones doing this. Did they really think Wang Ye, a newly arrived platoon leader from the military academy, was easy to push around?
Wang Ye glanced at him but didn’t respond.
He stood up and addressed everyone.
“Everyone, attention!”
Immediately, whether they had submitted their papers or not, everyone stood up.
“Gather at the entrance!” Wang Ye’s face turned stern as he gave the command, then he walked out directly.
At that moment, Wang Ye felt that he might have been too lenient with them. He had brought them to eat as soon as they arrived, making them think he was very gentle…
“What’s wrong with you guys?”
“Look at what you’ve done!”
As they followed Wang Ye running towards the exit, some of the reconnaissance soldiers were cursing internally.
In this situation, it was obvious that there wouldn’t be any good outcomes.
And indeed, their thoughts were confirmed.
After the entire group assembled outside, Wang Ye ordered them to lie down on the cement road just outside the cafeteria.
Crawl!
Circle around the camp!
That was Wang Ye’s command.
“I had originally intended to have a good chat with you all, to have a heart-to-heart talk. But now, I realize that you may look down on me a bit.. If that’s the case, then we’ll do things differently!”
