Girls und War

Xia Shu smiled gently, nodded and said, "You have worked hard enough."

As he said this, he touched her forehead.

Afterwards, Xiao Jue was carried to the infirmary by a robot and received comprehensive medical treatment.

In this way, the students of the academy department were able to protect their dignity without losing too miserably.

Although the veterans of the 5th and 6th Squadrons won, they also had a slightly changed view of the new recruits.

At least they no longer treat the four squadrons of the academy department as timid and pain-afraid child soldiers.

All of this is thanks to Instructor Xia Shu, who comprehensively promoted combat training during the first three months of training.

However, Xia Shu did not take credit for himself at all, but instead returned all the honors to the students.

So after a day of carnival, more than 400 warrant officers at the Lieutenant Officer Academy fully released the pressure on themselves.

Then, when the assembly whistle blew the next day, they plunged into their busy study life again.

After that, three months passed in a flash.

The study of various courses has finally reached the final stage.

As the final lieutenant officer examination is approaching, the cadets are extremely nervous.

If they fail to pass the assessment in one go, the mark of repeaters will be recorded in their files, which will also affect their future promotion paths.

They had already seen that most of the seniors from the previous class who had always been by their side in the academy were just muddled through their days.

Instead of being an officer like that, it would be better to retire early and go home to be an idol.

With this mentality, the students, under the guidance of the instructors, began the final sprint stage of the assessment.

739. Bole must be a pony fan

The so-called study journey is like a train running on rails.

The teacher is the driver of the train and the students are the passengers on the train.

The train's engine is fueled by the student's perseverance. The greater the perseverance, the faster the train will go; the less perseverance, the train will run out of power and could break down at any moment.

Students studying have always been a whole. Only by working together can we provide sufficient power for the train.

Very few individual students can break away from an overall learning environment and reach the end of their studies alone.

The learning environment is so important. It can make a person without motivation feel anxious, and it can also help students to support each other when they experience psychological fluctuations.

The better the teachers and schools, the better the "engines" and "rails" they can create.

The beginning of a journey to study is often the most difficult. Taking the first step in your studies is like the huge work required to start a train.

But after the train starts, the ever-accumulating perseverance pushes the vehicle to its maximum speed, and learning becomes a habit, a behavior that cannot be stopped.

At this time, the teacher needs to point students in the correct direction, brake and slow down on the curve to prevent the academic vehicle from derailing or overturning.

Until the end, when the studies are nearing the end, the attitude of learning becomes a habit.

There is no need to remind yourself, the sense of urgency will urge you again and again to keep accelerating until you break through the final finish line.

Later on, everyone on the train understood what it was like to study.

Everyone went their separate ways.

He who knows how to add fuel to the train will drive it forward himself.

Those who are just driven by others and forced to learn passively, even if they can cross the finish line, will only stop slowly and eventually become lost in the crowd.

Because learning is a lifelong process.

People are always learning.

And learning itself is the fastest shortcut to all roads.

This is how officers in military academies study.

The teachers teach the students in the college using the best and most reasonable teaching methods.

No other place or scenario can allow students to acquire such a large amount of military knowledge in a short period of time.

How to lead troops in battle and how to survive on the battlefield - this is important knowledge that has been continuously accumulated by our predecessors and can be called the crystallization of human wisdom.

And this knowledge can be easily acquired by students in college.

This is why military academies, and indeed all schools in the world, are so important and valuable.

——However, even so, there are still many students who are short-sighted and do not cherish such learning opportunities.

They are greedy for fun and are always attracted by small things, so that they regard learning as a burden and a shackle imposed on their bodies.

As a result, in the end, these students had to repeat a grade.

Perhaps they do have various objective factors such as insufficient academic ability or lack of attention.

But repeating a grade is repeating a grade.

This is a great shame for the students of the Lieutenant Officer Academy.

No one wants their scores to be below the average, but some people cannot even reach the passing line.

Xia Shu and her classmates were all remnants who lived a life of mediocrity and had no ambition to make progress.

Perhaps their counselors will tell them that there were officers who repeated a grade in the past and eventually achieved remarkable results.

Or use various methods to motivate them so that they don't become lazy.

But everyone knows that being held back means being a loser, and it means becoming the lowest group in the entire officer system.

Because the officer assessment will never deliberately limit the pass rate of cadets and only admit the best candidates.

As long as they work hard enough, it is common for all of them to pass.

Therefore, when Xia Shu was teaching large classes, he would always emphasize again and again that it was not shameful not to finish the race, but not trying hard was the most shameful thing.

It was precisely because of Xia Shu's example that even though he was a world champion sniper, a high-ranking princeling sergeant, and a star athlete who could earn 2.5 million just by lying still and taking off his pants, he continued to study hard in various courses as a student (physical training classes were not included) -

——That’s why the other students worked so hard and finally the overall pass rate of this class of students reached an astonishing 99%!

In the end, including the repeaters of the previous class, there were only seven people in the entire Lieutenant Officer Academy who failed to pass the Lieutenant Officer Assessment in the first half of this year.

This fully demonstrates the positive power of the idol effect.

So much so that Sister Dongliang began to consider whether to introduce a war zone idol every year to inspire the lieutenants in the academy to work hard.

Or maybe they could just set up an idol club in the academy—and then, to protect the flagging admission rates, all the seven of them could do was… become idols! (Confusion)

But putting aside the useless seven in the academy, this year's gratifying graduation rate still made Principal Ying Ning very happy.

Then, like an old farmer who saw the wheat yield of 1,800 yuan per mu, she tried to retain Xia Shu, the golden cleaver, with great anticipation.

Unfortunately, Xia Shu's goal remained unchanged, and the answer she gave her was exactly the same as Sister Dongliang's at that time.

Although Ying Ning felt it was a pity, considering that Xia Shu was the one the young commander wanted (with all kinds of implications), she felt that she did not have enough face to keep Xia Shu.

So after offering her another generous retirement position, he generously returned Xia Shu's resume to the headquarters.

In this way, Xia Shu's second and third dealers were already prepared in advance. Regardless of whether she could reach the heights she had envisioned, at least she didn't have to worry too much about her retreat.

And Xia Shu, as a real civilian player with no background, has fully proved this point.

That's true talent. You never have to worry about your pearl being covered in dust. As long as you keep running, there will definitely be a good horse trainer who will come and lick your horse's hooves.

Of course, this is limited to beautiful young ladies (referring to some little sluts who can speak human language).

In addition, now that the assessment is over, all the warrant officer cadets who passed the assessment naturally submitted their resumes to the headquarters of the three armed forces.

In this regard, ordinary girls enjoy the same treatment as Xia Shu.

But after that, everyone's fate may be slightly different.

Just as Major General Yanjie and Xia Shu had said before, the officers who passed the assessment would be screened repeatedly by various military headquarters and assigned carefully.

From this point of view, the treatment of warrant officers seems to be no different from that of privates.

But Xia Shu is naturally an exception.

Her resume was immediately obtained by the people at the Army Headquarters.

740. The Path to Promotion to Lieutenant Officer

Among the three major military departments in the modern non-nuclear battlefield - the Navy Department, the Air Force Department, and the Army Department, which one can truly become the leader representing military power?

Perhaps each of the various military theories has a set of logically consistent reasoning methods to prove that the military force supported by the theory is the core force of the entire military system.

But no matter how you explain it, one thing cannot be avoided, that is, the Army must be the cradle of all military branches.

It is not an exaggeration to call her the mother of the military.

Considering that the original intention of establishing the imaginary battlefield was to select a group of commanders of the super-generation interstellar fleet through direct confrontation of military forces.

Then the Generals’ Council’s statement that the army is king seems reasonable.

For this reason, the strategic position of the Army has always been superior to that of the other two services in the troop construction of each military region.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief of the Army Headquarters has always been regarded as the first-line successor to the next commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Also known as the prince.

Of course, the modern military's command system isn't feudal, and the title of Crown Prince is merely a joke. The commander-in-chief of the army could be replaced at any time, a move often jokingly referred to as "removing the crown prince" or "changing the crown prince."

But when the time comes to transfer power, public opinion and various objective factors must be given priority.

However, it is indisputable that the young commander is now the most likely person to take over the position of commander-in-chief after Princess Zhao.

Similarly, from the perspective of the "princelings", all resources of the Hua District military system must be prioritized towards the Ministry of the Army, which is indisputable.

Although the leadership of the Air Force and Navy departments will be uncomfortable, this is a military framework supported by the Constitution and clearly stipulated in the Military Act.

If they want to break out of this framework, they have to amend the constitution or repeal the relevant bills first.

Otherwise, the Army’s dominant position will continue until the humans on Blue Planet become extinct.

So, to sum up, after the resumes of this batch of warrant officers flowed into the officer selection meeting room at headquarters, the generals of the Navy and Air Force could only watch as the Army prioritized selecting the best batch of students from the resumes and put them into their own pockets.

Although these two military departments were also extremely envious of Xia Shu's resume.

But they can only drool over Natsuki's photo in their dreams, just like they are thinking about who is my wife, Yui Aragaki or Satomi Ishihara.

After the Army Department had picked and chosen the first batch of officers according to the prescribed quota, the Navy Department and the Air Force Department immediately forgot their previous common hatred of the enemy and began to scramble for the remaining role cards.

They looked like two Huskies fighting over a pair of smelly slippers thrown by their owner.

After the two military departments had sorted through the remaining batch of officer character cards, the Army Department collected the last few odd and endearing ones and took the remaining useful three-star characters with a bit of disgust.

Then, he gave the last few low-star characters who could only be used as warehouse managers to the most Buddhist and calm logistics officer.

They were used to it. After all, the logistics department was a trash can. If they didn't want something anymore (like a certain Sheng), they could just toss it to the logistics department and that was it.

As for whether they can recycle and reuse the garbage, it depends on their individual abilities.

Now that the card drawing is over, what everyone has to do is naturally go back home, distribute the character cards to each department, and arrange them to the leveling field to start leveling up and upgrading their skills.

Perhaps privately, people from different departments will communicate with each other to see if there is a chance to exchange the rare character cards they have collected for the ones they like.

But these things are not something that the human resources department can control.

Their roles are to let new people do their jobs and put the right people in the right places.

The Army Department’s top priority is naturally to fill the vacancies of officers needed by front-line combat troops.

These vacancies are definitely not something that inferior students can handle.

Therefore, we need to select some battlefield talents with excellent academic performance and A+ combat assessment to fill in.

Most of these positions are filled by students from the soldier department. The academy department lacks experience and is definitely not suitable for front-line combat troops.

Unless they are new students in the academy department with particularly outstanding grades, the outstanding students in the academy department, those with A+ grades in report writing, will generally be stuffed into the headquarters to do clerical work first.

After training for a period of time, they gradually get used to the work at hand, and then are sent to the command departments of various fronts for training.

Only when they grow up to be able to stand on their own will the headquarters consider placing these outstanding officers from the academy department in grassroots combat positions.
