"gather"

"Count off from left to right." "1, 2, 3, 4..."

Turn right

"Everyone, pick up your luggage, head straight ahead, march in unison."

The new recruits were still curiously looking around, but after witnessing Xu Sanduo being scolded, they didn't dare to make such big movements. They just quietly glanced at him out of the corner of their eyes or turned their heads slightly.

Led by veterans, groups of new recruits marched toward the station square, chanting slogans in unison, filled with curiosity and excitement.

After the new recruits got off the bus, Zhang Anbang got back on and walked around again to make sure no one had forgotten anything before getting off.

Not far away, Shi Jin gave Gao Cheng an awkward smile, making Gao Cheng angry but unable to vent his anger on his most respected class monitor.

After the troops assembled in the square, all the new recruits were urged to board the troop transport trucks and head to the recruit camp.

This was the gentlest driving this group of soldiers had ever done while transporting people, almost as gentle as when they were transporting vegetables or pigs, because if a new recruit fell off, you couldn't predict what choice he would make.

Whether he waited where he was or went home, the chances of him catching up were slim. So at this moment, these drivers, who were practically ready to take off in their military trucks, could only convince themselves that they were carrying supplies and needed to drive carefully.

Listening to the lively chatter of the new recruits introducing themselves in the truck, the driver chuckled a few times and said to Zhang Anbang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Deputy Company Commander Zhang, this batch of new recruits is quite active, not bad, not bad."

Zhang Anbang smiled upon hearing this, "It's good that they're lively. Being lively proves they're not stupid, making training them easier."

As Zhang Anbang replied, his mind began to ponder how to help Xu Sanduo, who looked like a bear but was a tiger at heart, to understand things better, so as not to delay Shi Jin's progress.

Having spent time with him these past few days, he has come to understand Gao Cheng's feelings more and more. Shi Jin is a really useful squad leader, worthy of Gao Cheng's evaluation: "My best squad leader."

He couldn't think of a good solution for Shi Jin at the moment, so he could only let things take their course for now. As for Wu Liuyi, he didn't need to worry about him anymore.

During this period, Wu Liuyi trained with him and received massages to maintain his health. Now, his body is basically free of any hidden dangers. He has also been advised to avoid overexertion and reckless activities. As a result, his performance in all events is very stable.

Especially after learning level eight and Xingyi from him, this guy has recently been thinking about combat. If he can really figure something out, he can probably become a combat instructor even if he doesn't join the Old A.

By then, four rounds will definitely be no problem, five rounds are also possible, as for six rounds, just think about it and don't take it too seriously, the probability is too small, but of course it's not that there's no chance at all.

As for Xu Sanduo, well, he's not stupid, but he's actually quite smart.

In terms of personality, Sanduo is typically timid, lacks self-confidence, and is even somewhat dull. During basic training, his drill movements were stiff, and he had no concept of military discipline and rules. He often made mistakes due to nervousness, such as marching in the wrong direction or falling over when turning around.

No matter what kind of ridicule or even bullying he faced, he was still able to silently do what he thought was meaningful; deep down, he had a simple and persistent spirit.

Xu Sanduo should be considered a rough gem that needs to be carefully carved. However, the outer layer of stone covering this rough gem is too thick and needs to be carefully polished away. Too much force cannot be used, otherwise it would be troublesome to damage the jade inside while removing the stone layer.

Seeing that Zhang Anbang was no longer speaking, the driver stopped driving and focused on his task. Meanwhile, Zhang Anbang was outlining his plan in his mind. After all, he was the deputy company commander, and it was within his responsibilities.

As for helping Xu Sanduo, we should definitely help him, but we can't help him without any bottom line or favor him. Doing so would be no different from being a nanny.

We should find a suitable way to stimulate and motivate him so that he can improve. This is his responsibility as deputy company commander. Moreover, if we can bring out this tiger-like man in advance, it will also prove his ability to lead troops.

To help him grow quickly, we need to consider his personality traits, such as kindness, perseverance, and resilience, combined with the characteristics of the military environment.

We should proceed step by step from four dimensions: psychological development, skills training, goal guidance, and environmental support. We should neither rush things nor let things drift.

The first step is to build his mental strength, break his habitual self-doubt, and help him find a sense of purpose.

He was scolded by his father since he was a child, which made him feel that he couldn't do anything right and he always lacked self-confidence. So this aspect of his cognition must be changed. Change his mindset first, and then other problems will be easier to solve.

Make him realize from small things that even insignificant little things have weight and that they have value when completed, thus replacing his habitual self-doubt.

Another point is praise and encouragement. If you criticize someone with this kind of personality, they will see you as an enemy in their mind, and they will not care about your thoughts and opinions.

If you encourage him from time to time, he will think you are a good person, and he will try his best to do well and gain the approval of the person he cares about, even if it is for your sake.

Public recognition and encouragement are especially important to him. As long as one is always a little better than yesterday, one can keep improving. By comparing his past self with his present self who has made some progress, he can break the self-suggestion that he is not good enough.

Make his reference point his past self, rather than others, to reduce feelings of inferiority and maintain a positive mindset.

Secondly, we need to train his abilities, because he is used to self-doubt, and this tendency is amplified in unfamiliar environments. Therefore, we need to break down his goals for him and use his persistence to counteract his clumsiness.

Xu Sanduo's clumsiness ultimately stems from his fear of complex tasks, but his persistence is his greatest strength. Therefore, it is necessary to use the method of deconstruction to make his persistence a reality.

His physical fitness is fine; it's normal for his upper body strength to be a little weak. Not many recruits start with good upper body strength.

In terms of skills training, new recruits usually start with individual movements. After practicing the individual movements a few times, they can string all the individual movements together to make a complete movement.

Xu Sanduo is different; his mindset prevents his body from moving. Therefore, he cannot be treated like a regular recruit. Instead, he needs to train more until he develops muscle memory, making it impossible for his mind to interfere with his body's natural habits.

In the early stages, you shouldn't give such people overly general orders. You need to tell them specific details. Once they fully understand, they will be able to comprehend simple commands and requirements.

For example, when it comes to tidying up, if you simply say "clean and tidy," everyone has different standards, so the results will vary.

If you tell him that the edge of the quilt should be pinched at a 90-degree angle, the sheets should not have any wrinkles, and the handle of the toothbrush cup should always face to the right, then once the specific operational details are clear, he will be more likely to follow them because there are clear standards.

The third point is goal guidance. Xu Sanduo was in a state of personal confusion for a long time. He didn't know why he joined the army. At this time, collective goals can be used to replace his personal confusion.

Make him realize that he is part of a group and needs to cooperate with the whole group. Gradually, he will find his own personal goals.

Assign him a responsible role, such as the safekeeping of tools in the class, making him an indispensable part of the team. Let him realize that if he doesn't do his job well, there will be problems in the class, and he will naturally develop a sense of belonging as a member of the group. This sense of responsibility will force him to make progress on his own initiative.

Further connect this to collective honor, letting him know that his efforts have a positive impact on striving for collective honor.

Regarding his own struggle with doing meaningful things, don't let him think about it on his own first. Instead, tell him what the significance of doing this is, so that he can generate self-motivation because he wants to do something meaningful.

The most important thing is the support of the environment. Xu Sanduo needs an environment that allows him to make mistakes, and at the same time, he needs the opportunity to be trusted so that he can shift from being passively required to actively growing. The recruit camp is exactly such an environment, but it is unknown whether there is enough time for Xu Sanduo.

Zhang Anbang felt that his plan was about right, but the specific results would depend on its implementation and whether it could get rid of Xu Sanduo. He didn't know how effective it would be.
