Chapter Thirty-Five: The Procession

  At first, Xiaoxue's wish was to train like the other soldiers. Now that these little military uniforms have been made, it's only natural for the little friends to start marching in formation. The little friends also think so, and their physical training has not fallen behind. Yang Wei always takes them out of the courtyard wall during his free time to run back and forth on the small hill outside the wall. Now that these clothes are ready, they naturally want to show off a bit. Kids, after all, have a competitive spirit.

  Xia Xue is the captain, so she naturally stands by and watches. The command is given by Yang Wei. Xiaoyama and Yingzi are too small to participate, so they become flag bearers during the formation ceremony, serving as a marker.

  He didn't bring out the standard step to use, but instead used a similar yet different pace, lifting his feet high and then heavily stepping down, just to hear the sound. Naturally, his arms also had some movement, not reaching the level of the standardized arm swing in later generations. In short, Yang Wei saw that foreigners' pace was too stiff without any arm movement, so he came up with this swinging motion. Of course, he wouldn't require it to be too uniform, but according to Yang Wei's estimation, the standard step movement would soon appear, and changing it then would be fine, for now it's just about achieving an effect.

  "In sync." "Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle." After a period of training, the movements of the little friends have become very standardized. "Marching in step" "Step, step, step, step." This kind of pace is for listening to the sound, listening to the sound of footsteps, which is powerful and makes anyone who hears it feel proud.

  "While running and walking." But this gait reveals the lightness of the little partners, they run with a very fluttering feeling.

  It's only natural that Yang Wei wouldn't bring up some things from the future again, and it was just a result of using the formation of those soldiers with some minor changes, so people wouldn't be able to tell where it came from. If he were to bring out something like "One, two, three" as a slogan for unity, that would be truly wicked. In short, this is all just something to show off, catering to Xia Xue's desire for display.

  "This Xiaoxue is really something, look at the clothes she's come up with, they're just like Jiang Guangtao's." "No way, look, those girls are wearing hats that I've never seen before, pretty majestic and powerful, it's just that these people are a bit small."

  Indeed, people are relatively small. If this were in the later years of Yang Wei, these 12- or 13-year-old children would not be much shorter than adults. However, they have been starving for over a decade now and only grew slightly more plump or thin. As for height, it didn't grow that fast. If you say they ate well for a few months and suddenly grew over 20 centimeters taller, that's truly impossible. Height still needs to be grown slowly.

  "Xia Xue, you said we can't just march in formation every day, I propose that we should start training drivers next, starting with you." Since there's a car now and only Yang Wei knows how to drive, he naturally suggested that everyone learn to drive.

  "Alright, I command, the Little Ghost Squad Driver Training Class to officially begin. Now, Wei Zi, since this driver training class has started, shouldn't we seal off a few more positions?"

  Xia Xue always remembers that there are also some little partners who only have military rank but no position.

  "Alright, let's first decide on a training team leader," "Wei Zi, I'll say it, I think Hu Si looks very serious, so let's make him the training team leader, with the rank of upper captain. Because I've found that the heads of the training departments in our troops are all very serious people and have dark faces, Hu Si is very suitable. Also, we need a chief of staff, let Gou Sheng do it, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. I think he usually has some good ideas."

  "Since that's the case, let's just assign positions to the remaining three people. I'll say one, Li Chen will be the combat team leader, with a rank of upper captain. He'll be in charge of external battle arrangements. And Li Da will be the intelligence team leader, also with a rank of upper captain. Have you guys noticed that Li Da has a knack for gathering information? And Xiao Dong can just barely pass as a communications team leader, with a rank of upper captain too. If there are any other positions in the future, we can arrange for them to take on additional roles."

  "Wei Zi, I agree with all of these, but now we have a car, which department should be in charge of it?" "Ah, this is also a problem. How about we establish an equipment team? Naturally, communication will be included in the equipment, and let Xiao Dong take care of it. Let's make him a lieutenant colonel." As soon as Xiao Dong's position was confirmed, he took on another role, and his military rank immediately rose from captain to lieutenant colonel.

  All these people have their posts determined, and the little partners have another new training task, which is a training that the little partners are eager to have, that is, driving a car. Even Li Shu and Wang Shu also want to take advantage of it and learn to drive.

  "Hey, Xia Xue, you see, the two of us, can't we...""Two uncles, what's going on? Just say it, why are you being so hesitant?"

  "Alright, let's be honest, we also want to learn how to drive. Look at our army, it's a mechanized unit, but the two of us can't even drive, what kind of thing is this?"

  "Hmm, okay, considering you guys usually show concern for me, I'll be generous and allow you to learn, Wei Zi, take a look."

  "You're the captain, naturally whatever you say goes. The two uncles, just follow the schedule with the younger ones, but didn't you two go back to your respective units for training? How come you have time now?"

  "Hmm, going back to training is just a matter of thickening our skin and going back. In fact, the company commander doesn't need us to participate in training anymore." It turned out that these two were soldiers from a logistics company in the big yard, and they had been directly called by the captain to take care of Xia Xue. Naturally, they didn't want to say it out loud, but going back to training was just a formality, because there were no more training tasks arranged for them within the company. That's why they dared to ask to learn how to drive this time.

  However, these two people slowly began to leave their original company and now put all their thoughts here, that is, sleeping, and eating is going back to eat, because their formation is still in the company, this kind of service company has many soldiers who are actually like this, serving some leaders.

  However, it's worth mentioning that at Yang Wei's place, you can really learn a lot of things. The driving lessons are just one aspect, and there's also cultural learning. When you join the troops, you'll naturally find some books, which means Yang Wei has more teaching materials, making it easier to teach his comrades. Now everyone has learned over 3,000 characters, with Xia Xue and the two uncles being the ones who have learned the least. Xia Xue has only learned less than 1,000 characters, while Uncle Li and Uncle Wang haven't even reached 500. Yang Wei has also secretly told his comrades not to laugh at them and to teach them well. They have another learning project, which is car repair, and they can use another scrapped car as a teaching material.
