Chapter 67: Model of Internal Affairs?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Where did Class Five go?”

“I don’t know. It’s been so long. Did they go somewhere else for additional training?”

“Nonsense! We recruits are mainly focusing on formation and military posture training now. There’s no other training. Look at the other platoons.”

On the training ground where Second Platoon was practicing, there were twenty recruits either lying down or sitting.

Second Platoon, along with Class Four and Class Six.

They had just endured the grueling first hour of military posture training.

Finally, they were granted ten minutes of rest.

Drinking water or going to the restroom wasn’t their immediate concern.

They relaxed on the spot, completely exhausted.

After calming down, their conversation naturally turned to Class Five, who had been training alongside them in military posture but were called away not long ago.

“Maybe their class leader took them back to rest,” someone lying on the ground speculated.

But immediately, another recruit weakly countered, “Do you really think that’s possible?”

“You’re right. How could these veterans be so kind? Besides, Class Five’s class leader doesn’t seem like a nice person. He always wears a grim expression. I feel like just his photo at the door can ward off evil spirits!”

“Haha!”

At that moment, the platoon leader left, and the recruits felt a bit relieved.

However, even after laughing, the mystery of Class Five’s whereabouts remained unsolved.

Everyone had various theories, but none of them could have guessed that Class Five had been summoned back to fold their blankets while they were practicing military posture.

“Internal affairs model?”

In the dormitory building, Wu Jianfeng looked at Deng Sanshi, then at Wang Ye, and finally turned his attention to Kang Hua.

“I believe so!” Kang Hua replied with a smile. He glanced at Wang Ye and said, “Comrade Wang Ye’s proactive approach to studying deserves recognition. Moreover, this neatly folded blanket could indeed serve as a model for other recruits.”

After his remark, Wu Jianfeng looked down at Wang Ye’s blanket. He paused for a moment before saying, “It’s a bit premature. The blanket is indeed well-folded, but it’s not enough. A role model should set the standard for all recruits. This blanket is impressive for recruits at this stage, but we cannot lower the standards of a model soldier just because they are in training. If Wang Ye wants to be a role model, he needs to strive for even better performance.”

With that, he looked at Wang Ye and continued, “Wang Ye, I’ll give you another week. Are you confident that you can fold the blanket even more meticulously, without any bulges, matching the standards of a true model?”

“Report, yes!”

In truth, Wang Ye didn’t have much confidence.

The way the blanket was folded had already reached its limit.

To improve, he could only continue pressing it down.

It required painstaking effort and time.

Regardless of the outcome, he couldn’t lose his determination.

“Alright, I’ll keep the Internal Affairs Model award for you. I hope you can achieve it next week.”

Wu Jianfeng smiled as he spoke. “Of course, you have to work hard. Don’t let others surpass you. If that happens, I won’t be able to appoint you as the internal affairs model!”

Wang Ye also smiled and stood at attention, saying loudly, “Captain, don’t worry. I will definitely earn the role of internal affairs model.”

Wang Ye didn’t claim he would win next week.

The blanket was quite stubborn. He wasn’t confident that he could completely tame it within a week.

However, if even he couldn’t do it within a week, others wouldn’t be able to either.

If they all started from the same point, Wang Ye had absolute confidence that no one could surpass him.

After all, mastering the art of folding a blanket to its utmost perfection was not mere showmanship.

“Very well, then I’ll be waiting to commend you.”

Recruits weren’t officially awarded for being internal affairs models, and it wouldn’t be recorded in their files.

In fact, the recruit company was the one determining it internally.

However, just because it wasn’t officially recorded didn’t mean they couldn’t be given certificates.

The cost of making them was minimal.

As an incentive, it was necessary to provide such recognition.

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye stood at attention and saluted.

Soon, the captain left with his men.

Only Class Five and Ye Sanshi remained.

“Alright, forget about folding the blankets for now. Bring them in.”

Ye Sanshi didn’t accompany them to inspect the cleanliness of other classes.

They had already obtained the moving red flag in advance. All that was left was to go through the procedures or, more accurately, catch any recruits from other squads who were hiding forbidden items.

But he wasn’t in the mood for that. First, he hung up the moving red flag. It was placed on the wall to the right of the dormitory entrance. There was a symbolic significance to it. Previously, the spot was empty. Now, Ye Sanshi hung the moving red flag there.

When he turned around, he saw that everyone from Class Five had gathered around him. Some of them hadn’t even set down their blankets.

This time, Ye Sanshi didn’t scold them for being undisciplined. He simply smiled and said, “Alright, there’s plenty of time to discuss that. For now, make sure your blankets are properly folded.”

Once everyone had put down their blankets, Ye Sanshi addressed them again, “You all did well this time. I, Ye Sanshi, keep my word. Starting tomorrow, you can wake up at five. Additionally, you will have an hour-long lunch break today. As for the Coke, I will arrange it later. We’ll enjoy it at noon.”

“Report.” Qin Li spoke up with a smile.

“What is it?” Ye Sanshi looked at him.

“Class monitor, can I have an hour-long nap in the afternoon from now on?”

Ye Sanshi rolled his eyes. “Dream on. I’m giving you an hour today because of the moving red flag. Do you expect to have an hour-long nap every day?”

“Do you want to sleep through the entire afternoon every day?!” Ye Sanshi didn’t hold back.

Although there used to be an afternoon nap, it was more of a verbal agreement within the recruit company. Under normal circumstances, it was unlikely to happen.

After all, three months was a short period, and the recruits had a lot to learn. How could they afford to waste time?

Qin Li smiled awkwardly.

“Alright, don’t waste time thinking about such things. Now, you have two minutes to fold your blankets. After that, we’ll continue with training.”

The internal affairs evaluation had already ended, but the morning wasn’t over yet.

Of course, at this point, there was no need to send Class Five back to train with Second Platoon.

After the internal affairs evaluation, the class monitors had to return to their own classes.

Recruit training had just begun, and with so many people, a squad leader couldn’t keep an eye on everyone.

They had to train in class units. When the time was right, they would gather for formation training.

For the rest of the morning, Wang Ye’s military posture earned him two experience points.

Besides the military stance, he gained five experience points for movement skills. Of the three main steps, only step and step were successfully converted into skills. The experience points weren’t applicable.

The system required a certain number of steps to gain experience, but Ye Sanshi instructed everyone to focus on raising their feet to stabilize their posture. They would stop after taking four or five steps at most.

Therefore, there were no experience points.

However, as the training session concluded, Ye Sanshi finally did something that pleased Wang Ye.
