Chapter 10 Making an Impression
Chapter 10: Leave an Impression ()
Wu Shaoting did not rush to gather the soldiers from the back to the mail to meet with a new official. It was not just because he did not wear his official uniform. The most important thing was that he hoped to give himself and his soldiers a buffer time. Today he saw the basic situation of the back to the back and found that the system of this old-style army had been completely corrupt. No matter whether he was in the German school or the military life experience in the 21st century, he could not start.
That night, he thought about it in the dormitory for a long time and made up his mind to lead the troops well. Although it was an old army, the new army was also selected from the old army, but the training methods and equipment were more advanced.
From the point of training, he is confident that he can surpass the new army; as for weapons and equipment, it depends on whether the senior management has the intention.
Anyway, he will do his best to do whatever he can.
The next morning, Wu Shaoting changed into the seventh-rank military official uniform, put on a red tassel and a plain gold top, and wore an official knife around his waist. When he looked in the mirror, he really looked majestic. He waited until early noon before walking out of the dormitory and came to the camp at the backside to the east of the university field.
The situation in the camp today is much better than yesterday. At least there are people rushing around several barracks, and I finally feel angry. However, these people have obviously just gotten up, some are taking a shower, some are still rinsing their mouths, and some are busy washing clothes. Although they do different things, they still have one thing in common, that is, everyone is not wearing a pair of military trousers or military boots, and their upper body is very casual.
When Wu Shaoting, who was dressed in serious official uniform, walked into the camp, he looked a bit like a rural sheriff coming to check his household registration.
Someone was sharp-eyed and immediately saw the brand new seventh-grade official uniform and shouted at the top of his voice: "Look, it's our new lord, it's ours! You can't put on your shirt when you die."
After saying a word, the entire camp became lively. Everyone seemed a little curious and nervous. They hurriedly put down their work and ran to the open space in front of the barracks to gather. Those who took a shower had not had time to put on their clothes, and the salt foam was still stained with their mouths. They looked like a refugee team.
What's even more strange is that although the people gathered, there was no order at all. The soldiers just randomly lined up into several columns, even avoiding the order of height and shortness.
However, Wu Shaoting was still a little surprised when he saw this. He originally thought that these old soldiers had become lazy to a certain level, but he did not expect that these people were still afraid of their new boss.
He came to the front of the open space and walked slowly along the first row of soldiers in the team.
Suddenly, he saw Zhou Xiaohu. The boy was still shirtless and his thin body was covered with water droplets.
"I have a good physique. I dare to take a cold shower as soon as the weather gets warmer?" He said to Zhou Xiaohu with a smile.
Zhou Xiaohu recognized the new mailman as Wu Shaoting yesterday. Although he was a little nervous earlier, he felt relieved when he saw Wu Shaoting's kind smile. He smiled and replied: "We use well water to bathe all year round, and Guangzhou is much warmer than other places."
At this time, a middle-aged man standing next to Zhou Xiaohu reached out and knocked Zhou Xiaohu on the back of his head, scolding: "Why are you talking to adults without big or small?"
After the old man finished speaking, he nodded and bowed to Wu Shaoting, "Forgive me, Lord Wu, this is ignorant, so don't be surprised."
Wu Shaoting laughed and asked, "Do you know my surname is Wu?"
The old man laughed and said, "Last month, the brothers in the camp asked a few of the hosts who were on duty in the Army yamen. They knew that the newly appointed sentry officer of our back squad was named Wu, his name was Shaoting, and his name was Zhenzhi! Haha, Lord Wu really had a good name, he was really as famous as his person and had a courageous spirit."
Wu Shaoting was not interested in such flattery words. He just nodded slightly, then ignored the old man and walked straight to the front of the team.
"Brothers, no matter what, today is the first time I met everyone. I should still introduce myself. My name is Wu Shaoting, and my courtesy name is Zhenzhi. I just returned from the German Empire. I am lucky to take you this whistle, which is also a fate for everyone. The first impression you gave me today is pretty good, because before that I always thought you were a group of mud that could not be supported by the wall." He said with confidence.
After hearing this, everyone seemed a little surprised and confused. Is this a compliment or a derogatory person?
Wu Shaoting looked at everyone's faces, smiled slightly, and said, "You don't have to think too much. My meaning is very simple, that is, I hope for you. The superiors sent me to take over the back post. One is to examine my abilities, and the other is to pay attention to you. Because there has never been a precedent for foreign officers leading the old army before."
Now everyone understood and it turned out that the new Lord Shin-kun was encouraging them.
Although they have always been lazy, and since the Qing Dynasty formed the new army, the treatment and attention of the old army have been deteriorating, as a soldier, they still have the concept of honor in their subconscious mind. However, this concept of honor has not been sharpened for a long time, just like a sharp sword covered up by mediocre rust.
The authorities may not understand this, but Wu Shaoting also understands it very well.
"Brothers, from now on, we will be in the same woe. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will definitely make you the most elite unit of the firefighting battalion. I am not a bureaucratic person. I will not say much about some scenes when I meet for the first time today. Now, you who have not finished the bath will go to take a shower quickly, and those who are washing clothes will continue to wash clothes. Half an hour later, all the team officials will come to see me." Wu Shaoting said with great momentum.
When the soldiers saw that Wu Shaoting had only said three words before and after the first meeting, they all felt that the new sentry officer was indeed very courageous. There were several sentry officers in the back before. When they first took office, they either talked nonsense and said a lot of irrelevant words, or they deliberately showed off their power and insisted on taking office as a new official three-game shot.
More importantly, they found that Mr. Wu also had a kind and a kind face without losing his majesty.
Everyone sighed in their hearts: I am really a person who has been abroad, and it is indeed extraordinary!
After Wu Shaoting finished his order, he ordered the disbandment. He ignored what the soldiers were doing and walked alone to the archway at the intersection of the camp, found a dirt ridge and sat down.
