Girls und War

The same applies to school officers.

The military ranks of generals are particularly simple.

Just lace, and then turned the stars into the sun.

The hollow sun is the Commodore.

One sun is less sauce, two suns is medium sauce, and three suns is better sauce.

The legendary dajiang, the rank style is even simpler.

There was only a shining golden shield on the military rank.

Shield of human protection.

Since the first day the Imaginary Sea battlefield was established, no one has ever reached this height.

As for the rank patterns of their recruits, they are even simpler.

Nothing, just an empty rank.

In fact, these little girls are not even formal soldiers!

10. About the first training

The first training that new recruits encounter when they arrive at the military camp is undoubtedly -

Stand! Military! Pose!

This is the simplest and most difficult training.

It is said to be simple because military posture itself does not require any technical content.

Anyone can stand up.

It is said to be difficult because standing at attention is indeed difficult.

As mentioned before, the military posture of a new recruit and that of an old soldier can be distinguished at a glance.

When veterans stand at attention, they can remain motionless.

It is truly motionless.

Even the breathing and pulse are very slow and barely perceptible.

No matter how well a recruit stands, there will be mistakes and tremors that he or she may not even notice.

Xia Shu can stand in standard military posture for two hours at a time.

This is also the standard time for a military shift at a sentry post.

Usually, a guard post rotates every two hours, 24 hours a day.

Therefore, regular training will not exceed this amount in most cases.

The human body cannot bear it if it exceeds the limit.

But she heard that the honor guard's hellish training would require them to stand for half a day and maintain the highest level of military posture throughout the entire process.

Xia Shu's skill tree didn't point to that area, so she knew she couldn't do it.

But then again, not every veteran can maintain high-intensity military posture for two hours.

The military is not so inhumane as to make people like robots.

In fact, most duty posts can carry out small-scale activities while on duty.

After all, the sentry is required to listen carefully and observe in all directions.

If you have to stand there completely still, it would be better to install a surveillance camera.

Some sentries in guard towers are required to observe and patrol left and right while on duty.

Small body movements will indeed make the sentry's life much easier.

But there is only one sentry post - it makes people tremble with fear and turn pale at the mention of it.

——That’s the honor guard post.

At the entrance of the camp, or at important duty locations and places where the military's appearance is displayed, honor guard posts are often set up for people to pay their respects.

It has no other use except for people to see.

Because other officers or tourists taking photos often pass by, the sentries are required to remain motionless during their shifts.

It was an extremely terrifying sentry post.

Any mistake or tremor will be magnified infinitely.

Not only will you lose face for yourself, but also for the entire army.

So there is a form of punishment in the army——

If a new recruit is disobedient, he will be sent to serve at the honor guard post.

After a two-hour shift, I guarantee he will stand still and obey orders.

But it seems that things on their blue planet are not so cruel.

The guards seem to be mostly replaced by android sentries.

It looks good and it saves face.

As for their military posture, the recruits were naturally a mess.

The veterans seemed to be okay with it.

Military posture requires attention to detail.

Standing at attention is not just about standing up straight.

The half-hour recruit test they took was not considered military posture at all.

That's just children playing house.

There are a few things to note about upright military posture:

First, put your heels together and close together, with your feet about 45 degrees apart; keep your legs together and straight, making sure your thighs are close together enough to hold the playing cards in place.

These leg movements alone are very strenuous, and they must be coupled with even more demanding upper body movements.

Keep your back straight, lift your chest, chest and abdomen, and try to pull upwards, as if you are about to rise from the ground.

The most important thing is that you cannot relax this feeling and must maintain it throughout the whole process.

Then there are the arms.

Stretch your arms downward, straight and straight, in the opposite direction of the upward exhalation of the chest. Then force your arms toward the inside of the body and clamp them together.

This should also be able to hold the playing cards so that they don't fall out.

The two palms are not in a straight position, but in a half-closed position.

Keep your hands pressed tightly against your thighs, making sure they can't be pulled apart.

Can't relax.

During training, the squad leader will move his arms to see if he can pull your handles apart.

If it moves, congratulations, add a few more cards.

The hands must be brought together to the extent that even when the person is pulled down, the hands are still not loose.

Then comes the head - keep your head up, chin tucked in, and look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

At this point, the general image of military posture emerges.

There is one last step left.

Use all your strength to stretch your shoulders back.

Spread your shoulder blades and put a playing card behind your back!

Lean forward, lean forward again, and keep leaning forward, putting all the weight of your body on the balls of your feet.

This is to prevent dizziness caused by poor blood circulation due to standing on the heels for too long.

By putting your weight on the forefoot, you can support yourself for a long time.

Very, very long.

It's so long that every day feels like a year.

At this moment, I felt like I was about to rise from the ground, and my whole body was as hard as iron.

Then maintain it for more than half an hour.

This is the most difficult and torturous part of all the training, standing at attention.

The cruel thing about it is that in the middle of winter, standing there for ten minutes can make people sweat profusely.

The most important significance of military posture is to hone willpower and strengthen the mental state of soldiers.

The scarred-faced sergeant major explained the essentials of military posture on the stage, then asked each class to disperse and have the class leaders teach them one by one.

The military posture here is not much different from that on Earth, with only some minor differences.

For example, their hands must be completely straight with the thumbs bent.

This is normal. Even on Earth, military posture training in different countries is not exactly the same.

I've heard before that some armies require soldiers to stand at attention with their chins raised towards the sky.

Well, every country has its own national anthem.

He dispersed the new recruits by the water and demonstrated the sergeant's instructions. Then he asked them to follow his example and stand in line.

Correct their mistakes one by one.

When she walked to Xia Shu, she circled around him and looked him up and down.

Then he touched his head, his face full of confusion, and walked away without saying a word.

Then he walked to Sheng's side, circled around her, and looked her up and down.

Then he sighed.

"How is it, squad leader? Am I standing well?" Sheng said.

"Are you making fun of me?" Shuibian frowned.

"I think I'm standing pretty well?"

"No, with your butt sticking up so high and your chin so far forward, I thought you were pretending to be a hen laying eggs."

"Eh--"

After that, Shuibian kept correcting Sheng's movements. But she seemed to be making trouble, with problems all over her body.

This made Shuibian doubt himself.

Is it because he saw that Natsuki was doing so well that he started to find fault with others?

But she looked at the military postures of the others.

Nothing wrong?

Weird.

11. About girls

The high-intensity standing posture is very tiring.

This group of girls experienced such rigorous physical training for the first time and soon became loose and flabby.

The sergeant looked at the time and blew the rest whistle at the right time.

The squad leader quickly arranged for them to sit down.

Xia Shu sighed slightly.
