Chapter 214 Are there so many conditions for joining the army?
Before Shen Ruochu could answer, Shen Leyang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up.

He glanced at Chu Chu and replied, "She is indeed sick, sick with her heart."

Chao Chao exclaimed, "Huh?" "A mental illness?"

As if suddenly remembering something, she immediately and nervously took Shen Ruochu's hand and led her inside, saying, "Sister Chuchu, you, you mustn't do anything rash."

I just heard my mother mention the term "mental illness" a couple of days ago.

Isn't postpartum depression just a psychological issue? When my cousin-in-law's condition is severe, she even harms herself.

But Sister Chuchu is clearly very cheerful, so why does she also suffer from heart disease?
Chaochao's flustered appearance made Shen Leyang, who usually had a calm demeanor, unable to help but laugh.

Having regained her senses, Shen Ruochu nudged him with her elbow, glared at him, and then led Chaochao to sit down on the sofa. She explained, "I wasn't thinking anything of it. I was just a little disappointed when I saw those soldiers at the airport."

Why are you feeling down?

"Because I failed the physical exam, I can't join the army." As she spoke, she sighed again.

Chaochao was completely confused. He couldn't join the army?

Shen Lei poured water for everyone and placed it on the coffee table before explaining to Chaochao, "Your sister Chuchu wanted to join the army and signed up online this year. With her physical condition, she had a high chance of being selected, but she was rejected because of the scars on her body."

Jian Yunsang was surprised, "Chuchu's wish is to join the army?"

"Yes, it would be one thing if I failed in other aspects, but I failed because of a scar. It really breaks my heart."

Chaochao didn't understand, "What is a scar?"

It was quite warm inside, and Shen Ruochu had already taken off her coat, now wearing only a short-sleeved shirt. Upon hearing this, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her shoulder. "Look, this is it. When I was little, I was naughty and climbed a tree, but I fell down and got a big cut here from a rock. It healed and left this scar."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched it, muttering to himself, "I'd almost forgotten about this thing. It's not even that big, so why can't I get through?"

Chaochao reached out and touched it. Last time when Sister Chuchu went swimming, her swimsuit covered the scar, so she didn't see it.

"So having scars means you can't join the army?" Chaochao sighed. "How strange."

Shen Ruochu chuckled, seeing Chaochao's adorable expression of frowning and looking puzzled, her earlier disappointment vanished. She hugged Chaochao and said, "It's not just that. Having scars is just one of the criteria. There are many other requirements to join the army."

She counted on her fingers for Chaochao, "For example, age, you have to be over eighteen years old. For example, education, if you don't study or only graduated from junior high school, you won't meet the standards."

"As for height and weight, girls must be at least 158 ​​cm tall and boys at least 160 cm tall. Their weight must meet the BMI standard."

Seeing that Chaochao didn't understand, she explained it in a different way, "It means you can't be too fat, and you can't be too thin."

"In addition, there are requirements for eyesight; if your vision is too blurry, you won't be eligible. You also need to have your physical condition checked, such as a routine blood test, electrocardiogram, and standards for ear, nose, throat, hearing, oral cavity, and sense of smell. Of course, you can't have scars like I did, or severe flat feet, or body odor. If you don't meet the standards, you can't join the army."

Chaochao was completely confused. Good heavens, it's so strict!

Not only her, but the people of Daqi under the sky seemed to be hearing a fairy tale.

From the moment Shen Ruochu mentioned wanting to join the army, they seemed dazed. But then they quickly thought of her mother, who had become a high-ranking official; perhaps it wasn't so hard to accept that women in later generations could join the army?

However, the problem is, from what they said, there are such strict requirements for joining the army?
Requirements like eyesight and hearing are acceptable, since soldiers who can't see or hear well are indeed easy targets for killing.

But do we also need to consider height, weight, oral cavity, and sense of smell? And what about flat feet, scars, and armpit odor?

Good heavens, how many people could possibly qualify? Are there even any soldiers?

Emperor Jingxuan also found it utterly unbelievable; he even thought...

"If these requirements were applied to the Great Qi Dynasty, would we have even half the military strength we have now?"

The silence of the crowd was deafening.

If they were to launch a great campaign, would they still have any soldiers?

Take the simplest example: education. It's laughable. Very few soldiers from the Great Qi Dynasty were literate. Of those who had studied the classics, how many actually joined the army? Even if they did, they became strategists or advisors.

There's also the matter of height and weight. Among military households, there aren't many who can maintain a balanced weight.

Not to mention whether there are scars on the body, how could there be no scars? Aren't bumps and bruises common?

What were people thinking in later generations that soldiers would demand that soldiers not have scars?
This is unbelievable, it's completely outrageous.

"Your Majesty, this is simply impossible. Why would they set up such strict checkpoints for soldiers? If that were the case, wouldn't our Great Qi's military households be exempt from military service simply by getting a scar from a fall?"

"That would be terrible; everyone would be able to evade military service."

Qu Wende sighed, "But did you hear that? This Miss Shen volunteered. She was even quite disappointed because she didn't meet the requirements."

"Could it be because Miss Shen's mother is a high-ranking official, so she has to take the lead? Or is she actually not that interested in joining the army?"

As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at him.

Isn't it because Miss Shen's mother is a high-ranking official that she has even less need to join the army?
However, there is some truth to this. In the families of many military generals in the Great Qi Dynasty, there were also clan members who, because they were not good at studying, would go to the army to try their luck, to gain experience, and perhaps to make a good future.

However, such people usually don't start from the bottom, unknown ranks.

I wonder which rank Miss Shen would start if she were to join the army.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Shen Ruochu say to Chaochao, "The above are all issues related to personal physical fitness. Even if you pass all of these, there is still a political background check."

What is a political vetting process?

Shen Ruochu smiled and said, "One is to investigate your ideology, such as whether your stance is firm, whether you have violated laws and regulations, or whether you have made any remarks that insult heroes and martyrs. The other is to investigate your family background, such as whether your elders, siblings or relatives have committed crimes and served time in prison, or whether they have problematic stances. If so, then you cannot join the army."
