Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 697 Are you sure this isn't a sting operation?

"Deputy Chief of Staff Qin, you're finally back!"

Steel Knife Combined Battalion, battalion entrance.

The two corporals on guard were extremely excited when they saw Qin Feng and his companions coming back.

Looking at the two recruits crying with joy, Qin Feng smiled, but he was actually a little embarrassed in his heart.

He's only been away for about ten days, so there shouldn't be such a big reaction, right?

"Come on, come on, I'll give each of you a tea egg."

"These are the eggs that Captain Zhao brought all the way from home. They're genuine pheasant eggs. We can't eat them."

Qin Feng took out tea eggs from a plastic bag and distributed them to the soldiers at the gate so that they could eat them when they changed shifts.

The soldiers at the gate were so moved that they took these dazzling tea eggs as if they were treasures, feeling that they were a gift from God.

After entering, Li Jiasheng looked back at the sentry who was still excited and was very puzzled.

"Did anything happen in the army during the days we were away?"

"Why do I feel like the atmosphere is weird?"

Qin Feng also felt that something seemed to be wrong.

The flowers, plants and trees are trimmed more neatly.

There is not a single weed left by the wall.

Even the propaganda slogans on the wall, which had originally faded, were repainted with red paint.

At a glance, it seemed brand new, even better than when they first switched here.

Qin Feng, who was passing by the cafeteria, suddenly stopped and took a few steps back.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Pengfei asked.

"Let's go in and take a look." Qin Feng waved his hand and walked into the cafeteria with a few people.

The battalion headquarters is actually right next to the first and second companies of the first battalion, so the canteen is quite large.

On weekdays, not only cadres from government agencies come here to eat, but soldiers from the first and second companies also come here to eat.

The overall situation was the same as before, with no changes, but the two karaoke machines in the corner aroused the curiosity of Qin Feng and others.

This kind of karaoke machine is exactly the same as the ones in shopping malls. It has a glass cover on the outside and two high stools and a microphone inside. You can directly select the song you want to sing on the screen.

"When did two of these things appear in the battalion headquarters cafeteria?" Zhao Pengfei and his companions looked at the two big guys in surprise, as if they had seen a ghost.

"There's a karaoke machine in the cafeteria, but who's going to sing to it? Who has the time to come over and sing?"

"Did we put it in the wrong place, or was it placed here before and we didn't notice it?"

Qin Feng shook his head. He lived in the camp headquarters and ate in the cafeteria every day. If this thing had been around for a long time, how could he not know about it?

The only explanation is that it was installed here during the ten days they were away.

"Brother Feng, old squad leader, why are you all here?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a round-faced "little fat boy" running towards them excitedly.

This man was wearing the shoulder straps of a first-term non-commissioned officer, an apron, and sleeve guards. He was Chen Sanxi, who had been assigned to the kitchen team early on.

But his appearance is completely different from when he first joined the army. He is plump and looks like a well-off person.

Although many people look down on the kitchen team, in fact, cooks are very popular in the army and are particularly easy to stay in the team.

The cooks in the field troops may have a harder time, as they have to follow the main force in raids and battles, and even train for battles.

But most of the cooks do not need training, because when the soldiers are training, they have to prepare and cook the ingredients, and it is difficult to squeeze out time for military training.

Eat well, sleep well, don't need to train, don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, plus Chen Sanxi's mentality is enough to lie down, and now he has become the head of the kitchen squad, it is really difficult for him not to gain weight...

"Sanxi, what's going on with these two big guys?" Qin Feng asked directly.

"Ah? Are you talking about these two singing machines?" Chen Sanxi scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure. The instructor brought some people over to install it the other day, saying it would be a way for the soldiers to relax and have fun during the holidays, adding to their extracurricular activities."

"That makes sense, but why are these two big guys facing that camera?" Li Jiasheng pointed at the camera not far away that was flashing red light.

He almost asked the instructor directly whether he was trying to sting the police.

Chen Sanxi was also confused. After all, he was in charge of the kitchen matters and he didn't know anything outside the kitchen.

Seeing that he couldn't get to the bottom of the matter, Qin Feng simply took out his cell phone and took two photos. Then he returned to the office and prepared to call Guo Haitao to ask about the situation.

Before leaving, he gave the tea and eggs brought by Zhao Pengfei, as well as some mountain products to Chen Sanxi.

Let him go back and heat it up, process it, and share it with the soldiers.

These are all good things from the mountains, and you may not be able to buy them even if you spend money.

Especially the tea eggs cooked by the veterans themselves, it is like they are blessed, and you can receive the blessings of the veteran Red Army soldiers by eating them.

Because the quantity is small, and they have eaten a lot on the way here, the tea eggs blessed by the +21 old Red Army soldiers can only be given away as a gift.

......

Zhao Pengfei and the other two are all from the Dark Assassin Special Operations Company. After they come back, they have to report to Instructor Yuan Fengyuan.

So he did not follow Qin Feng into the battalion office building, but drove away first.

Pushing open the office door, Qin Feng picked up a rag and simply wiped the tables, chairs and benches.

There is less vegetation here and the wind and sand are stronger. Even with the windows closed, there will be more dust than usual.

Guo Haitao and Ge Zhiyong were inspecting the grassroots troops at the time. After receiving the call, it took them more than half an hour to rush back exhausted.

"Qin Feng, you finally decided to come back!"

"You know, if you don't come back, everyone will be tired and climb down!"

Qin Feng's face was full of question marks: "What do you mean, if I don't come back, everyone will be exhausted?"

Ge Zhiyong looked at him in surprise. "No way, you've lost your memory at this age? Before you left, didn't you order the entire battalion to rectify its work style and discipline?"

"You also said that we must strictly enforce everything from housekeeping and sanitation to queue discipline and regular behavior."

Qin Feng nodded: "That's true, but it's not just a discipline rectification, right?"

Guo Haitao said: "It's true that regular troops don't have to go through the same discipline rectification, but we are the vanguard, so the standards we have to meet cannot be conventional. As you know, our training volume is much greater than that of ordinary troops."

"Add to that the desperate struggle for hygiene, formations, and discipline. Not to mention the lower-level soldiers, even Ge Zhiyong and I felt overwhelmed."

Qin Feng asked: "So, is there any effect?"

Ge Zhiyong glared, "It's more than just effective. The results are a huge step forward! Everyone is almost tortured to the point of losing their humanity. We wouldn't dare to rashly announce the end if you didn't come back. If it doesn't meet the standards, we'll be the ones to take the blame."

Qin Feng laughed heartily. "As long as there's progress and improvement, that's all. Then let's declare it over. This work style and discipline rectification campaign ends here. Everyone should return to their normal routines, and you'll have a 40-minute lunch break at noon."

"Hey, we've been waiting for you to say that!"

"By the way, there's something I wanted to ask you?"

Qin Feng looked at Guo Haitao: "What are those two karaoke machines in the cafeteria used for?"

Guo Haitao smiled awkwardly: "Those two are to deal with the inspection from above."

"What test?"

"Tomorrow morning, leaders will come to inspect and visit the soldiers to understand their daily training and living conditions, as well as the standardized facilities in the barracks."

"Isn't that just a process? Why bring back two karaoke machines specifically and put them in the kitchen?"

Ge Zhiyong shook his head: "This is not a formality. Local journalists will come with cameras to film it, which is equivalent to filming propaganda for the conscription work."

"The brigade commander called us personally two days ago and told us to prepare well and not to be careless. After all, we are the pride of the southwest and must present our best side in front of the camera."
