Chapter 46: Devil Training (Part 2) Flying Pig Net

  After a short break, the afternoon training began. All the trainees gathered on the playground, and with Rommel's command, all the trainees except for one triangular shorts were stripped naked. The loincloths worn by eight Japanese trainees quickly caught the attention of other trainees, who couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Dominic, standing beside Lin Ao Feng, said in a low voice: "Lin, China is right next to Japan, you're all normal, why do Japanese people still wear diapers even when they're so big?!"

  Lin Ao Feng puffed out his chest and said: "Do you know where Japanese surnames come from?"

  Dominic asked: "Is this related to them wearing diapers?!"

  Lin Aofeng glanced at the Japanese students, his mouth slightly curled up in a smile that was both disdainful and chilling, saying: "Although it has nothing to do with wearing diapers like the Japanese, it is related to their inherent nature."

  "Really?! Come on, tell me!" Sanchez, who was standing to the right of Lin Ao Feng, immediately became interested. Lin Ao Feng nodded towards Rommel in front and said: "Let's talk about it after training is over and we return to the barracks!"

  Just as the three of them reached an agreement, Rommel glanced at the eight Japanese students who looked like clowns and suppressed a smile, saying: "Alright! All of you be quiet! If any of you cause trouble again, I don't mind having him run naked.

  Rommel's time with these cadets was short, but his reputation had already been forged. Under Rommel's glare, the cadets who were previously jeering fell silent, their eyes fixed intently on him.

  Rommel cleared his throat and said, "In order not to waste time and improve your combat skills at the same time, from now on, add a subject to the anti-freeze training." After finishing speaking, Rommel waved his hand, and two soldiers walked up from behind. One soldier took off his upper garment on the spot, took a deep breath, and squatted down; another soldier swung a wooden stick as thick as an infant's arm towards the back of the squatting soldier.

  Then, two then, three then......, it was smashed for ten times before stopping. The students present, except Lin Ao Feng, were all frightened by this scene. Dominique asked in a low voice: "Lin, will this devil Rommel really let them beat us with sticks?!"

  Lin Ao Feng glanced at Dominick with a sympathetic expression, saying: "It's not that he wants to, but he has already planned it. Look to the left of the forest and you'll understand." Dominick followed Lin Ao Feng's words and looked towards the left side of the forest, only to see a large group of people standing in front of the trees, each holding a wooden stick as thick as an infant's arm, waiting for Rommel's call. Seeing this scene, Dominick involuntarily shuddered and said: "Lin, this is really too terrifying!"

  Lin Ao Feng smiled slightly and said, "Just bear with it for a while and it will pass. Rommel won't take our lives!"

  After about three or four minutes, Rommel waved his hand and the soldiers waiting in front of the forest ran over in neat rows to stand beside each trainee. At this time, Rommel's voice rang out again: "Everyone listen up, take a deep breath, half squat!"

  The cadets heard the command, all followed Rommel's instructions, took a deep breath and half-squatted down. Rommel continued: "Today is the first anti-attack training exercise, the amount of training is halved, and it will be resumed in five days. Now start!"

  As soon as Long Mei'er gave the order, the training soldiers simultaneously raised their wooden sticks, and then saw the stick shadows continuously rising and falling, with purple bruises appearing on the backs of the trainees. When most of the trainees could no longer bear the beating of the sticks and fell to the ground, Lin Ao Feng let out a loud shout, and the wooden sticks in the hands of the training soldiers suddenly broke into two sections. Suddenly, the entire field fell silent, and everyone was stunned.

  Lin Ao Feng glanced at the terrified training soldier and roared: "Again!"

  The training soldier was shocked by Lin Ao's shout and came back to his senses. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Rommel, who furrowed his brow slightly and walked slowly to Lin Ao's side. He picked up the half stick on the ground, took the other half from the soldier's hand, compared them, stared at Lin Ao for a while, and said bluntly: "Your performance exceeded my imagination, so...". Rommel paused slightly before continuing: "So starting today, except for combat training, all your other training will be doubled." After that, Rommel threw the two sticks back to the training soldier and said: "Continue!"

  In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and when Rommel gave the order to stop training, all the students except Lin Ao Feng were panting and slumped on the ground. Dominick, gasping for air, looked at Lin Ao Feng who seemed unaffected and said: "Lin, I've heard that Chinese Kung Fu is incredibly amazing. Are you a master of Kung Fu?!"

  Lin Aofeng shook his head with a silly expression and said, "I don't know any kung fu. The reason I can take a beating is all thanks to my father. When I was young, I was too mischievous, so at that time, I didn't get fewer beatings from him. Now thinking about it, I'm still quite grateful to him."

  After completing the toughest 20 kilometers of armed cross-country in a day, the trainees took a bath and walked into the cafeteria with each other's support. After dinner, the exhausted trainees dragged their tired bodies back to the barracks, one by one, lying down on their beds weakly. Dominick panted heavily and said: "Lin, don't forget, you promised to tell me about the origin of Japanese surnames tonight, you can't welch on your promise!"

  Lin Aofeng took a deep breath and said, "How could I have forgotten?!" After adjusting his emotions, Lin Aofeng continued: "The Japanese are warlike, in ancient times almost all young men were recruited to be soldiers and fight wars, they didn't even have time to get married and have children, so the population kept decreasing. Their emperor came up with a national policy that allowed any man, at any time or place, to freely have relationships with any woman, in order to maintain the birth rate."

  "Wow, Japan is really amazing!" As soon as he said this, the people around him burst into laughter. Lin Ao Feng smiled slightly and continued: "During the war, Japanese women were used to doing it anytime and anywhere, so they simply carried their pillows and quilts out the door. Later, it became what we now call 'kimono'. Many Japanese women were caught off guard by men at any time or place, and before they could even ask for their surname, they would go back to fighting. As a result, the children born to them had surnames like 'Inoue', 'Tanaka', 'Matsushita', 'Watanabe', 'Yamaguchi', 'Takeda', 'Kondo'... and so on."

  "Lin, isn't the origin of Japanese surnames more complicated than that?!" Dominique asked somewhat dissatisfied.

  Lin Aofeng nodded and said: "Japanese surnames have those that follow male and female actions, such as 'Ibuki', 'Mendō', 'Fushita', 'Imao', 'Tate', 'Tashiro', 'Mitama'; there are also beastly ones, such as 'Shishi', 'Inokami', 'Kamoshika', 'Inu', 'Kuma', 'Jinba'; and then there are those that follow group order, such as 'Nikō', 'Nimoku', 'Sanmi', 'Rokujō', 'Hachio'..."

  The moment Lin Ao Feng's voice fell, the entire camp fell silent, and then burst out with earth-shaking laughter. Tristan slapped his bed and laughed: "No wonder I always thought Japanese names were so weird, it turned out to be this!"

  At the same time, in the four dormitories next door, because all four dormitories had been washed with high-pressure water guns in the morning, the beds and quilts were all wet. As a result, the trainees who returned to the dormitory could not rest, standing stupidly by their beds, some at a loss. It was at this moment that Assistant Instructor Kamedes walked past the window of the Japanese trainee's dormitory.

  "Inada Sanjirō hastily called out to Kametodesu, saying: 'Assistant instructor! I request a change of barracks.'"

  Kameda looked at Inada Sanjuro for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Since you don't want to sleep, go out and run 20 laps!"

  "Assistant!" Not waiting for Inada Sanjirō's plea, Kametodes shouted again: "Forty laps! Go quickly!"

  Inoue Sanjirō ran out of the barracks in dismay and started running around the training ground. Seeing this scene, all the other people who wanted to change rooms shrank back.

  In the blink of an eye, five days have passed. The trainees have all adapted to the intense training. However, Rommel won't let the trainees off so easily, and a new training plan is brewing in his mind again.

  "Rumble, rumble... Rumble, rumble..." On the sixth night, after finishing their training and dinner, the trainees returned to their barracks. Three flashes of lightning cut across the sky one after another, followed by a torrential downpour from above. Looking at the rain outside, Lin Ao Feng said calmly: "Comrades! I reckon Rommel won't let us have an easy night today, everyone should get some rest while you can!"

  "Unbelievable!" Johnes walked to Lin Ao Feng's side, looking at the scenery outside the window and said: "It's raining so heavily outside, and tomorrow is a 250-kilometer loaded cross-country run."

  "It's because it's raining outside, that I made such a prediction." After saying this, Lin Ao Feng turned around and slowly walked towards his bed, soon the whole camp fell asleep.

  The hands of time moved quickly, and before long it was one o'clock in the morning. This is when people sleep most soundly and are also at their most tired. Rommel and Kammerdorfer appeared outside the barracks wearing raincoats with soldiers. Rommel stared at the dark barracks for a moment, then said: "Let's begin!"

  As Rommel's order was issued, the soldiers blew the emergency assembly whistle. Upon hearing the whistle, Lin Ao Feng suddenly jumped up from bed, putting on his clothes while loudly shouting "Emergency Assembly!" and then rushed out of the barracks like an arrow off the string.

  As the team finished their preparations, Rommel looked at the trainees standing in the rain and said: "Today's mission is clear to all of you, so I won't repeat it. However, I want to make one thing clear: I have set up three dining areas, but only prepared fifty meals, which means thirty of you will go hungry. You are all smart people, so I don't need to say more. Let's begin!"
