The military academy’s morning exercises are based on teams. Listening to the morning exercise commands, the cadets trot in a neat and orderly row and quickly meet at the designated places. Then the duty officer checks the dress, counts the number of people, and leads the classes to the training ground.
Ye Jian arrived at the meeting point and quickly counted the number of people. With one team coming one after another, all three classes were assembled in three minutes. There should be 46 students, and indeed all 46 students had arrived!
“Align to the right!” Ye Jian, who was standing at the forefront, ordered loudly. As the shoes and the ground made small stepping sounds, she walked to the right side of the first row after the whole class was aligned and began to lead the team into the stadium.
The sun had risen, and everyone could feel the heat on their face in the morning. All classes entered the big training ground one after another.
As the watchman shouted the slogan, every class assembled and straightened their backs one by one to face the morning sun. After the watchman on duty reported the number of people to the head of the class, the 30 minutes morning exercises began.
“1.2.1.2.1.2.3!” The neat, monotonous command voice undulated in the training ground. Every student dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts began their morning exercises.
The wide training ground was full of youthful figures, shouting the slogan loudly, like huge waves pouring from the sky, and paved the entire military academy with a magnificent and majestic aura.
Their hearts were beating as they felt the difference of the morning exercise in a military academy. The neat pace “click, click, click” was so powerful as if it could destroy everything. The strictness of a military academy, the might of a military academy, the power of a military academy could be seen through its morning exercises.
After 30 minutes of morning exercises, it was time for breakfast. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors had breakfast and returned to their classrooms, but not the freshmen. They still had morning training.
The Senior Brother, who trained them last time, was right; the hard days had just begun!
The sun at the training ground was shining its ray everywhere; the heat was too great, burning the freshmen’s face and arms. Everyone stood motionless in the scorching sun, maintaining their military posture.
The instructor in charge of queue training walked past each student and constantly corrected their irregular posture.
“Did you eat too much breakfast? Suck in your lower abdomen!”
“Your feet must be separated by sixty degrees. This is at least seventy degrees! Did you forget the eloquence of our army standing posture? Recite it for me now! You, you, you, and you, all of you, now!”
“Yes!”
The students whose names were called stretched their bodies straightened their backs and stood in a military posture. “Two feet separated by about sixty degrees, heels brought together, calves straight, lower abdomen slightly kept, and chest straight up. Shoulders slightly spread backward, arms droop naturally,… Head straight, neck straight, mouth closed, eyes look straight ahead! The report, finish answer!”
“Untidy, recite again!”
“Yes!” Without a word of rebuttal, they immediately recited it again.
The instructor walked to the front, stood beside Ye Jian, the model soldier, and snorted coldly, “There is a model soldier in front. Those who can’t stand, or stand not straight, or feel tired, open your eyes and take a good look at your classmate!”
“As long as you stand like her, you don’t need to come here again tomorrow!”
The pacesetter, Ye Jian, stood facing the whole class. Under the sun, she was still in her original military posture after an hour. The students at the front row saw the sweat flowing into her eyes, but she did not move; she just blinked her eyes slightly.
