Traveler Major League

Chapter 294 Fool
"Sanwa, have you ever thought about your father?" the second uncle asked earnestly, with worry showing between his brows.

"I have an older brother at home." Cui Nengwu responded in a low voice. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed his firmness.

"You silly boy, isn't it enough for me to be in the team? What are you doing here?" Cui Nengwen scolded dissatisfiedly, with helplessness and heartache in his tone.

"But I also want to follow the commander to save people." Cui Nengwu's eyes sparkled with longing.

"Save people, save people. We are all poor ourselves, there is no point in saving anyone." Cui Nengwen's tone was a little excited, and there was an unconcealable helplessness in his voice.

"But the commander said that all poor people in the world are one family. We cannot rely on gods or emperors, we have to rely on ourselves." Cui Nengwu clenched his fists and said firmly, with a flame of hope burning in his eyes.

"Silly boy."

Inside the Yijun County government office, outside the Yimen Gate, the second uncle and Cui Nengwen sandwiched Cui Nengwu on the left and right, both trying to persuade him to give up his plan to join the first company.

Cui Nengwu was ranked among the top five in the vanguard team for his merit of capturing 32 government soldiers alone. With such a great achievement, he was indeed qualified enough to join.

At this time, a celebration banquet was being prepared in the lobby of the yamen, and heroes such as Zhang Dadan, Zhang Gou'er, and Cui Nengwu would be invited to celebrate. This was also a great opportunity for Cui Nengwu to show his determination.

After persuading him for a long time, the second uncle finally lost his confidence, sighed, and said helplessly: "Go, go, everything is up to you."

At the celebration dinner, everyone enjoyed themselves, including the host and the guests. In the brightly lit hall, the aroma of wine filled the air, laughter continued, and the atmosphere was warm.

Cui Nengwu raised his wine glass. The low-alcohol, turbid wine made him, a young man who had never experienced such a scene, feel dizzy, but he never forgot his plan.

"Cui Nengwu, you captured thirty-two prisoners alive during this siege. Come, let me toast you a glass." Liu Ze held up the wine glass and toasted the heroes one by one, his tone full of appreciation.

Cui Nengwu looked nervous. He heard someone talking in a daze. He stood up suddenly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. His movements were a little stiff.

"You have a good alcohol tolerance!" Liu Ze also drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile, his eyes flashing with appreciation.

"Commander, I, I want to join the first company and work with you." Cui Nengwu, under the influence of alcohol, shouted in public and burped.

He knew that his experiences during this period would make it impossible for him to return to Lijiaao. After yelling, he waited obediently for Liu Ze's reply.

Liu Ze waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Even if you don't say it today, I will say it too. I sincerely invite you all to formally join our People's Army, our newly expanded First Battalion!"

The original company suffered heavy casualties in this battle. The four companies of militiamen that were previously randomly integrated were only temporary organizations. After occupying Yijun County, Liu Ze naturally wanted to formally incorporate them into the People's Army.

In this period of great development, these heroes are naturally the priority development targets.

"Commander, I am willing." Cui Nengwu was the first to express his opinion, his voice full of determination and expectation.

Voices echoed: "I am willing to do so too."

"Follow the boss." Everyone responded in unison, morale was high, and the whole hall was echoing with passionate shouts.

Cui Nengwu looked at his companions, his heart filled with strength and hope, and he firmly believed that his choice was right.

The Yijun County military camp seemed to have returned to the training camp in Dujiazhuang.

Cui Nengwu couldn't help but look around. This was originally the site of the Wei Suo City. It was once dirty, messy and dilapidated, but now it was brand new and incredibly clean and orderly.

The shoes drying on the playground are all neatly facing the same direction.

On the wall of the main entrance, a slogan written in lime is clearly visible: "Serve the People!"

A three-meter-long flagpole stood on the open space, with a red flag fluttering in the wind. The five large characters "The First Battalion of the People's Army" on the flag were particularly eye-catching. The most special thing was a wooden board at the edge of the open space, on which was engraved the "People's Alliance Program". Everything here exuded a unique style.

The People's Army Battalion Commander Liu Ze, together with the company commanders and instructors, held a ceremony for the new recruits to enter the camp.

The remnants of the original company were split into five new companies.

Cui Nengwu looked around in the crowd, looking for his second brother Cui Nengwen. "Second brother." He moved his lips, but didn't shout out. Cui Nengwen also noticed him at the same time, nodded slightly, but didn't look away, maintaining the seriousness of a soldier.

Almost all the soldiers in the original company were like this.

Liu Ze read out the list one by one, "The new recruits are assigned as follows: Zhang Lao Da - Second Company, Third Squad."

"Okay." Boss Zhang responded loudly.

"Zhang Gou'er - Second Company, Fourth Squad."

"Oh!" Zhang Gou'er also responded loudly.

When "Cui Nengwu" was called, Cui Nengwu instinctively replied "Here" in a loud and clear voice, completely different from others.

"Company One, Class One." Liu Ze continued to announce.

"Yes!" Cui Nengwu answered vigorously, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

After the assignment was completed, Cui Nengwu walked quickly towards Cui Nengwen and couldn't help asking, "Second brother, am I assigned to your class?"

Cui Nengwen nodded, his face calm, but a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Don't call me second brother in front of others from now on. Call me deputy squad leader. Our first squad of the first company is the most elite and is directly under the battalion headquarters. The squad leader is Wang Zhe, the one." Cui Nengwen pursed his lips and pointed at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Liu Ze in the distance.

"He will preside over the induction ceremony for you newcomers later." Cui Nengwen greeted the other people and introduced them: "There are several new comrades in our class. This is Cui Nengwu, my third brother. Sanwa, you can sleep next to me. I will introduce you to some brothers." After saying this, Cui Nengwen greeted the other newcomers enthusiastically. It did not seem cumbersome at all, and it was as natural as spring rain moistening everything.

Cui Nengwu didn't have that ability, so he could only stand there stupidly and give a kind smile to everyone.

Squad leader Wang Zhe, who had just returned, mechanically nodded to the oncoming smile.

There were too many things to do. When the squad, platoon and company cadres held a collective meeting, Liu Ze explained the various rules and regulations, which made him very overwhelmed.

As one of the few educated people in the team, the task is arduous.

In addition to the clerical work of recording Liu Ze's various imaginative ideas, he also had to help train other cadres, and finally lead a squad of soldiers, so he was very busy.

"Assemble, start a class meeting." Wang Zhe issued an order. His serious expression infected everyone. The veterans and newcomers unconsciously lined up in two rows.

Everyone's expression was equally serious. This was not an ordinary gathering, but a welcoming ceremony for the new soldiers.

Wang Zhe calmed down, became excited, waved his hand and said: "I hope that the new comrades can understand the spirit of our people's army from this ceremony. For the veterans, I also hope that they can deepen their education."

Cui Nengwu is one of the few people who have experienced the days in the training camp. Although he appears calm on the surface, he is actually very excited in his heart.

When he was in Dujiazhuang, he envied the soldiers who had experienced the ceremony presided over by Liu Ze, as if that was a complete transformation of their life.

"Soldier Cui Nengwu!" Wang Zhe shouted loudly.

"Here!" Cui Nengwu took a step forward and spoke in a loud voice.

"You must remember that you are the 275th soldier in our company. We are the first company of the People's Army and the most core armed force of the People's Army. Before you, 274 soldiers have fought in the company!" Wang Zhe said loudly.

The same ceremony was performed almost simultaneously in other classes on the playground.

"Soldier Cui Nengwu, you must remember that you are the 275th person in the first company of the People's Army!" Wang Zhe continued to shout.

"Soldier Cui Nengwu, you must remember the sacrifices made since the establishment of the company. What is it all for! What are we fighting for!"

Why fight? Perhaps Cui Nengwen would sneer at this, and perhaps there are others who would sneer at this as well, but Cui Nengwu obviously knew that he was one of the few fools who were attracted by Liu Ze’s propaganda: fight for the people of the world!
