Girls und War

Unlike the perverted level of housekeeping inspections Xia Shu had experienced, the housekeeping requirements for soldiers here were very humane and gentle.

The placement of clothes, shoes, and daily necessities only requires that they be neat and tidy, not messy.

The sheets and blankets should be laid out neatly as required, and the pillows should be placed properly without any mess. That's all.

There are also quilts.

Modern soldiers don't need blankets because they have constant temperature beds.

But in the imaginary battlefield, without high-tech equipment for automatic temperature control, primitive cotton products are still important strategic materials.

Therefore, in order to simulate the battlefield environment, the recruit company prepared a quilt for each person.

The girls tried this thing and felt nothing but stuffiness and heat.

Even Xia Shu felt that the constant temperature bed was much more comfortable to sleep on.

Quilts are something that has been abandoned by the times, so it’s better to get rid of them as soon as possible! She felt a chill when she saw the quilt now.

It's nothing, it just comes from the fear in the soul.

Fortunately, the girl army here does not need to learn this scary thing, otherwise Xia Shu will have to recall the fear of being dominated by folding quilts every morning.

After Shuibian finished explaining, he asked the girls to start tidying up their rooms.

Natsuki also returned to the bed and began to rearrange the sheets and blankets.

After seeing this, Ai Er asked in confusion, "Xia Shu, didn't you already organize it? Why do you want to do it again?"

"It's not tidied up yet. I just roughly trimmed one side before, and it's actually very rough." Xia Shu replied.

Ai Er stuck out his tongue and whispered, "So strict..."

Xia Shu thought about it and suddenly felt like showing off.

It’s like having a treasure at home and always wanting to take it out and show it to other children.

"Actually, I have a unique skill." Xia Shu said to Ai'er.

The girls in the class pricked up their ears.

"What special skill?" Ai'er showed a curious expression.

"Make the quilt."

"Folding the quilt...what kind of special skill is that?" She was a little surprised. "I can fold it, too."

"No, no, no. The way I fold the quilt is different from the way you fold the quilt. You will never learn it." Xia Shu said mysteriously.

"I do not believe."

"Then let me show you."

As he spoke, Xia Shu spread out the quilt in the cabinet and laid it flat on the bed.

70. About making quilts

Xia Shu couldn't tell whether folding the quilt would improve combat effectiveness.

However, it is generally believed that the army of any powerful country attaches great importance to internal affairs, that is, it regards internal affairs as one of the most important aspects of military training.

This is because good housekeeping reflects a soldier's good qualities, can cultivate a soldier's rigorous work and life habits, and can better reflect a soldier's discipline and obedience.

With these advantages, soldiers can perform better on the battlefield.

In Xia Shu's memory, the world's most expensive army on the other side of the sea also has strict requirements for internal affairs.

All the clothes and pants in their wardrobes must be ironed and neatly hung on hangers, and the distance between each hanger must be 1 inch; the food in the refrigerator must be defrosted first, which means that no ice chips are allowed; the entire dormitory, including the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, must be spotless, especially the floor, which is sometimes even scrubbed with a toothbrush.

Brush the floor with your toothbrush!

There is a war movie called "Full Metal Jacket" which details the abusive housekeeping that new recruits endure.

It is also worth mentioning that, similar to the quilt-making hell that Xia Shu experienced, they also have a boot-shining hell.

Military boots are usually placed under the bed, followed by sneakers and slippers. Especially leather shoes or black military boots worn for important occasions (sand-colored suede boots are worn for general entertainment, drills, and combat) must be polished to a shine.

They almost want to lick their shoes with their tongues when they polish them.

However, strict housekeeping is not emphasized at all times, and there are no excessive demands for troops in a high state of combat readiness.

The rigorous study of housekeeping is mainly a necessary training subject for new recruits and idle troops.

When Xia Shu joined the special operations forces and began to carry out actual combat missions, these housekeeping requirements were naturally relaxed.

So, many people say that housekeeping is formalism - this is a bit too much.

Discipline is combat effectiveness, there is no doubt about that.

Housekeeping learning can effectively eliminate the lazy girls’ free and easy attitude and cultivate the habit of obedience.

Of course, things have to be done gradually. If we ask these girls to clean up their houses to the level of Earth veterans from the beginning, it would be too much to ask.

They used to be a group of people who never even took care of hygiene, Your Highness the Princess.

So at present, asking them to tidy up the dormitory and clean it is already very professional training.

Then, Xia Shu, what I will show you next is the nightmare of domestic veterans' housekeeping that she has engraved in her soul -

Make the quilt!

As we all know, quilts are soft.

So is it possible to make it look very strong?

can.

How did you do it?

Grind and press.

After Xia Shu spread the quilt on the bed, he began to flatten it continuously, squeezing out all the air inside.

By the way, can we fold the quilts we use at home in the military style?

it is also fine.

However, it takes a long time to compress the air so that the quilt does not expand too much.

In fact, from a physics point of view, the way military blankets are folded is not conducive to heat preservation. The air inside is squeezed out, and the insulation layer becomes thinner.

Therefore, it is not recommended that you practice with your own quilt.

However, a down quilt that is too soft can only give it a slight shape and cannot be folded into a military-style corner.

The more you fold a quilt, the easier it is to fold it.

The new quilt you just got is most likely very fluffy and very difficult to straighten out the corners.

Fortunately, the quilts prepared for these girls were made of artificial cotton, which was very light and soft.

So Xia Shu didn't have to put much effort into squeezing and smoothing.

She spent a long time adjusting the quilt, making herself sweat profusely.

The girls never imagined that folding a quilt could be so difficult, so they became even more curious about what Xia Shu's unique skill was.

Xia Shu worked hard for a long time and spread the new quilt out like a pancake.

Then he spent a long time looking for traces to fold it, and carefully folded the inside into four layers to form a long strip.

Then came the arduous pressing.

After the long strips of quilt were flattened, she drew a few more creases.

Fold it back along the crease.

The quilt suddenly became square, like a block of tofu.

Xia Shu carefully pinched the edges and corners again, making all the edges and corners into straight lines.

The originally soft quilt suddenly became as hard as stone.

As she carefully pinched the edge of the quilt, she said, "This is my unique skill."

"This...this..." The Irish people were stunned.

The girls who had been watching her fiddling with the quilt also had shocked expressions on their faces.

He stood there in a daze, holding the quilt.

At this time, Wei Xiao came down from upstairs and walked into the dormitory door.

"Shuibian, those stupid recruits in our class...what are you doing?" She looked at the state of Xia Shu's class in some confusion.

He turned around foolishly by the water.

"What are you looking at? What new thing is Xia Shu playing with?" She walked forward and looked at the square object that Xia Shu was fiddling with.

"Playing with boxes? What's so fun about that?" Smile asked curiously.

"No, this is a quilt." Shuibian said.

"Huh? Do you think I've never used a quilt?" Smile said unhappily, "Quilts are soft."

"Take a closer look," Shuibian reminded.

Smile frowned and looked at Xia Shu for a long time.

Then he yelled, "Fuck!"

As he said this, he reached out and gently pinched the corner of the quilt.

So soft!

"This this……"

"This is the unique skill of Brother Xia in our class." Tiancai Sheng said proudly.

"I'll never learn that," Al added.

Shuibian ran out without saying a word.

After a while, a lot of footsteps were heard.

All the members of the third row were called down with a smile.

Come and watch Xia Shu’s unique quilt-folding skills.

When everyone saw her square quilt, they had only one thought in their mind -

Holy shit! Is this a quilt?

Is it the soft, plump thing that feels like a stuffed toy and that soldiers use to cover themselves when they sleep - the thing called a quilt?

Why did it become such a square thing?

The girls all had bewildered expressions.

Xia Shu finally finished his work and stood up to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

The corners of the quilt have been completely molded into straight lines.

It looks like it was cut with a knife.

Everyone stood there in a daze.

Shock the Blue Star People!

From then on, there was another legend about Xia Shu——

She is a person who can fold a quilt into a tofu block.

After learning housekeeping, every recruit has one more job to do in the morning in the recruit company.

Tidy up the bedroom.

Although due to the principle of human rights and privacy protection, no comprehensive inspection of dormitory housekeeping is carried out, the commander still requires each squad leader to conduct housekeeping rectification work every day.
