Chapter 19: Punishment on the 168th Fleet

  Lü Kun's arrogance was unable to prevail in front of Jiang YuRou, facing the girl who was half a head shorter than himself and looked weak and frail, Lü Kun instead appeared somewhat timid, involuntarily taking a step back, his lower back tightly pressed against the railing on the port side of the 168 warship.

  However, after hearing Jiang Yurou's words, Sun Qifan raised an eyebrow and looked at Lü Kun, who was being suppressed by Jiang Yurou's aura at this time. He couldn't help but chuckle lightly, looking around him, and wondered in his heart which of the people standing beside him would be the descendants of those with power and influence.

  Sun Fan didn't want the farce to continue like this, and it had even involved Lv Kun's family background. If they continued, who knows what would happen next. Thinking of this, Sun Fan walked out from around the corner, pretending to know nothing, pulling at his sleeves, looking surprised as he shouted at Jiang Yu Rong and Lv Kun: "Didn't I tell you to assemble the troops? How come after three minutes have passed, the entire troop is still so sloppy!"

  When they saw Sun Buran, the students who were originally looking forward to watching a good show quickly withdrew their heads and stood upright in military posture, staring straight ahead.

  Lü Kun heard Sun Fu's rebuke and also smiled awkwardly, then quickly ran back to the team.

  Jiang Yurou's awkward situation was finally alleviated by Sun Feng's intervention, and the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart couldn't help but be let out in a long sigh. She knew that in front of Sun Feng, these students who didn't give her face wouldn't dare to act rashly, so she swallowed her anger for the time being, turned around and returned to the front of the formation, going through the necessary procedures.

  "Right face!"

  With Sun Fu in attendance, the situation was indeed different. Everyone heard Jiang Yu's command, and the small steps of the machine started to move with a rattling sound on the deck.

  "Look ahead!"

  At the command, everyone suddenly turned their heads in unison, raised their chests, and stared intently ahead with piercing eyes.

  The troops had already gathered, and no one dared to embarrass themselves in front of Sun Fu, so Jiang Yurou turned around, clasped her fists, and jogged towards Sun Fu. She stopped about ten paces away from him.

  After the salute, waiting for Sun's return of courtesy, Jiang Yurou reported: "Report to Comrade Instructor, Flying Shark Squad has assembled, with 23 people present and accounted for. Please instruct! Squad leader, Jiang Yurou!"

  "Take a break!"

  "Yes!"

  In response to Sun's instruction, Jiang Yurong paid her respects and then turned back to the front of the formation, giving the order "at ease". As everyone moved in response to the command, she jogged back to her own position as squad leader.

  Jiang Yu Ruo stood at attention, turned around, and Sun Fan also walked to the front of the formation. He didn't speak immediately, but quietly scanned the twenty-four students standing before him, his eyes cold enough to make each student's heart feel a chill, without any hint of ferocity.

  This was Qiu Lin's first time seeing Sun Fan with such eyes, those eyes seemed calm on the surface but were actually surging and turbulent, making it hard for people to feel at ease.

  Zhuo Yi, standing at the corner, saw Sun Mo's serious expression and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He thought that it had been six years since he last saw Sun Mo get angry, and wondered if the Sun Monkey, who would previously get so angry that it would shake the entire South Sea Fleet, would still be like that now and directly burn down the 168th ship in a fit of rage.

  The calm before the storm is always the most unbearable, but no one dares to speak at this time, including Sun Qifan. He also saw his uncle's expression for the first time, a kind of indescribable majesty that made his heart, as a psychological genius, begin to feel apprehensive.

  "Tell me!"

  As soon as Sun Fu spoke suddenly, everyone was also startled. "Pa!" He moved his right foot to his left foot and stood up straight, waiting for Sun Fu's next words.

  Sun Fan looked at the 24 students in front of him again, and then scolded: "I am very dissatisfied with your gathering speed today! You make me see no style that a soldier should have on you!"

  "What is a soldier's duty?"

  "Obey orders, follow commands!"

  "I didn't hear!"

  "Obey orders, follow commands!"

  "Which one of you has achieved it?" As he spoke, Sun Feng's finger pointed unhesitatingly at the deck that was being scorched by the sunlight and shouted: "Get into push-up position!"

  Jiang Yurou knew that even though she had the greatest grievance in her heart, at this moment she had to be more proactive than anyone else. Before her words had fallen, she was already propping herself up with both hands on the scorching deck, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

  The other students also quickly prostrated themselves, their hands supporting them on the deck, their eyes fixed on the sea distorted by the heat haze, no one daring to glance at Sun Fan.

  "It seems that today's 10km cross-country run was just a small dish for you! Well, let's add some more courses! One hundred push-ups, three hundred squats, and those who finish will get to eat!" As he spoke, Sun Bao gestured with his hand towards the corner, and in the blink of an eye, three or five soldiers brought over the meals that Sun Bao had ordered earlier and placed them in front of him.

  The aroma that came suddenly made Qiu Lin raise her head and look at the dishes, braised fish! Chicken legs! Steamed seafood! Scallion oil pancake! And watermelon as dessert! Although there was no shark fin or swallow's nest, these dishes were definitely mountain delicacies and sea flavors at this moment, and nothing could be more delicious than them.

  Unfortunately, Qiu Lin could only swallow three feet of saliva into her stomach. Even after resting for half an hour, her physical strength had recovered somewhat, but to complete a hundred push-ups was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven, not to mention there were still three hundred squats!

  Thinking about it, Qiu Lin couldn't help but shake her head and took a deep breath before quickly starting to do push-ups.

  Delicious dishes were right in front of them, enticing aromas swirling around each student who was already famished. Zhuo Yi didn't expect that Sun Fan would go to such great lengths, this was purely a psychological attack on every student.

  However, Zhuo Yi thought she should help Sun Fan, so she casually picked up a chicken leg and took a big bite. With her mouth still greasy, she walked in front of Jiang Yu Ruo and intentionally placed the chicken leg in front of Jiang's mouth, asking: "Does it smell good?"

  Looking at the chicken leg in front of her, Jiang Yurou couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and her stomach also let out a "growl". However, she didn't respond, only slightly paused to give Zhuo Yi a cold glance, continuing to do her push-ups.

  Zhuo Yi saw that Jiang Yu Ruo was not buying it, so she smiled and then went to Qiu Lin's side, waving the chicken leg in front of Qiu Lin's nose.

  Qiu Lin and Jiang Yu Rou are different, how can she bear the temptation of the chicken leg's pungent aroma, instantly stretching her neck to take a big bite. As a result, she lost her balance and fell flat on the deck. Seeing this, Zhuo Yi smiled and said: "Sorry, your 50 push-ups... reset to zero!"

  "Ah?!" Qiu Lin heard this and immediately stared at Zhuo Yi with wide eyes. Never mind, she couldn't help but pout and muttered: "It's just a chicken leg, isn't it? Wait till I'm done, all of these will be mine!" After that, Qiu Lin quickly got down to work, full of fighting spirit.

  Looking at Qiu Lin's cute appearance, Zhuo Yi couldn't help but smile, eating chicken legs while getting up and walking towards Sun Qifan.

  However, when Sun Qifan was in front of her, she didn't squat down, but only paused for a moment before walking towards Lu Tao again. Zhuo Yi knew in her heart that her trick had no effect on Sun Qifan and might even be turned against her once more.

  Zhuo Yi didn't come to tease herself, and Sun Qifan also smiled slightly, thinking that Zhuo Yi still had some self-awareness and knew this trick wouldn't work on herself.

  She came to Lu Tao's side, squatted down, and placed the chicken leg in front of her nose, taking a deep sniff before saying with satisfaction: "So fragrant!" After that, she glanced sideways at Lu Tao, who was still doing push-ups, and asked with a smile: "Want some?"

  Lu Tao ignored her and suddenly stood up, patted his two thighs with his hands, and then immediately started doing 300 squats.

  I didn't expect Lu Tao to ignore himself, Zhuo Yi couldn't help but smile, slowly standing up and sizing Lu Tao up and down. Done, she smiled again and walked over to Bao Shi Ping. However, she didn't squat down, just looked at Bao Shi Ping who was panting with effort, then looked at the other students' painful expressions, decided to end her own show, turned around and returned to Sun Fan's side.

  Sun Fan didn't turn his head to look at Zhuo Yi, but instead took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, saying calmly: "Wipe yourself clean, you're not looking very presentable."

  Taking the tissue paper handed over by Sun Fan, Zhuo Yi couldn't help but hum a light tune and said: "Image? Can image be eaten as rice?" As she spoke, without caring whether Sun Fan was concerned or not, she simply raised her hand and stuffed the chicken leg she had eaten into Sun Fan's mouth.

  Looking at Sun Fu's helpless slanted gaze, Zhuo Yi said while wiping the oil from his hands: "Eating too much chicken legs makes you unable to eat other things. But we can't waste food, can we? Wasting is shameful! This is what Captain Sun often teaches me."

  Sun Fan didn't want to argue with Zhuo Yi, so he put down the chicken leg in his mouth and turned around to ask the 24 students in front of him: "Who can tell me what honors does the 168 warship have?"

  "Report!"

  Hearing Lu Tao's voice, Lu Tao turned his head and looked over at Lu Tao.

  "Speak!"

  "In 2007, the 168 fleet and comprehensive supply ship 887 visited Russia and other four European countries for a friendly visit; On April 23, 2009, participated in the 60th anniversary parade of the Navy; In 2013, it was listed as the fifth batch to go to Somalia for escort missions and completed several advance rescue missions! Report complete!"

  Zhuo Yi on the other side heard Lu Tao's answer and couldn't help but smile, muttering to herself: "You know quite a lot."

  However, Sun Fan did not react to his answer at all, but instead rebuked him by borrowing Lu Tao's answer: "Since you know that the 168th ship has so many honors, then you are on this military vessel full of honors. You don't feel ashamed that you haven't done what a soldier should have done?!"

  Sun Fan's words brought everyone to a sudden halt. Lu Tao, who was halfway through his 200th squat, also stopped and turned around to look at Sun Fan with a bewildered expression.
