Free Web NovelChapter 302: Chapter 238: Fear Of War Is A Sin_2
The combat uniform came off, hit the ground! Three hundred push-ups! Do them right here!"
At these words, Zhang Tianwang’s face turned a bit sour, and he frowned:
"Isn’t this a bit partial? Fang Huai didn’t even wear his combat uniform and rushed to drive, pulling the water cannon close to the fire scene, isn’t that a dangerous operation?"
Zhao Jinchen, however, spoke sternly, "Can his police dispatch experience compare to Fang Huai’s?
The fiery vehicle was in front of the garage door, there was no room to set up a water gun position, and what’s more, oil fires are very likely to flow into the garage and set fire to the fire trucks!
Besides, Fang Huai is the squad leader, experienced, and has the right to make judgments and take risks when conditions do not permit. He can accomplish things we can’t. Wang Peng is just a new recruit, he has no right to take risks!"
Wang Peng gritted his teeth at this.
Just as Zhang Tianwang was about to say something.
"Squad leader, I’ll do it!"
Without taking off his combat uniform or his empty call device, Wang Peng lay down on the ground and began doing them.
He did them rather quickly. ƒrēewebnovel.com
But seeing this, Zhao Jinchen was incessantly sarcastic:
"Look, carrying an empty call device without even wearing the face mask! What’s the use of having that empty call on your back?"
"Not wearing gloves either! Wearing a combat uniform and only caring for the head, not for the ass! Did you learn to wear the combat uniform like this from your squad leader, or from a TV series?" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Count aloud while doing your push-ups! Are you waiting for me to count for you?"
Wang Peng clenched his teeth and shouted:
"Seventy-one!"
"Seventy-two! Seventy-three! Seventy-four!"
The more he did, the faster he went.
The eyes of the other people in the front yard were all focused on him.
"Yo, not bad at all." Chen Zhenghai, sitting in the front yard chair, said with a smile.
Liu Jianfeng who led the team out tonight also nodded, "This kid’s got potential, ran faster than Song Lin during tonight’s run."
Hearing this, Cao Yi also glanced back, but then turned his head and sternly warned the driver:
"Talk to your peers in the future! Don’t engage in such dangerous behavior! Your vehicle was blocked right at our garage entrance, and our fire truck is not indestructible! Once it catches fire, who will help you put it out?"
Next to him, Fang Huai pointed at the garage and said, "Building, vehicles, equipment... they all add up to twenty or thirty million! Dozens of people. If they were all gone because of your risky behavior just once, who would be responsible?
Could your company afford this responsibility? Or your family? Huh?
It’s not allowable! Absolutely not!
Today, to extinguish your fire, we used a lot of foam!
It’s expensive!
Go upstairs, help us with the police dispatch report! I’ll get you a couple of brochures on oil fires! Go back and do some good fire protection publicity with your colleagues, let your peers know, alright?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Cao Yi almost laughed.
This kid, even now, hasn’t forgotten about publicity.
The driver’s face was tense, nodding repeatedly:
"Thank you, thank you so much, I caused a lot of trouble for you today! I’ll definitely do a good job of spreading the word when I get back! I’ll bring banners of appreciation for you!"
After saying this, he pointed to Wang Peng, lying not far behind them on the ground, and said:
"That brother... he rushed forward to put out the fire, why does he still have to be punished? Is it my problem, has he gotten into trouble because of me? Was he the one who opened the door for me just now? Leader, it’s all my fault, please don’t punish indiscriminately!"
Cao Yi glanced again, and by then the count had reached 117.
Turning back, he patted the driver and said:
"It’s not your fault, the one who opened the door for you is sitting in the guard pavilion, come on, let’s go upstairs."
Fang Huai also glanced in Wang Peng’s direction.
They had all heard what Zhao Jinchen said, but had been too occupied talking to the driver to care.
Seeing Wang Peng dressed in combat uniform and wearing an empty call, having done more than a hundred push-ups without showing signs of extreme fatigue, Fang Huai silently nodded and followed upstairs.
This new recruit was indeed not bad, his physical fitness probably wasn’t far off from the old soldiers’.
...
A few minutes later, when Cao Yi and Fang Huai escorted the driver out, the front yard was already crowded with people.
The push-ups had reached two hundred and seventy, and the person counting for Wang Peng had switched to Han Yong.
If it weren’t for Wang Peng being punished, many of the old soldiers would have already cheered.
Ye Jiahong also stood aside with his hands behind his back, grinning, waiting for Wang Peng to finish the three hundred push-ups, and then he would shout "give me twenty more."
Zhang Tianwang, ignoring Zhao Jinchen’s earlier rebuke to Wang Peng, loudly encouraged him, "Well done!"
The only sour faces were those of the Soldier Triplet brothers.
They had been roped in again.
They had just gotten rid of a Fang Huai, and now along came a Wang Peng.
This world where only they got hurt was complete.
Cao Yi was standing at the squadron’s gate, looking over there, lifted his chin and asked:
"What do you think?"
Fang Huai, however, brought up the system and stared intently at the system task completion progress bar.
After a while, a smile broke out, "I think the task tonight should at least get me a third-class merit, right?"
Cao Yi’s face darkened.
He glanced at the surrounding cameras, chuckled and said:
"If you’re not afraid of your uncle’s scolding, I’ll report it for you, though he might not approve it anyway."
Fang Huai speechless, "Just try it! I haven’t had a third-class merit for police dispatch yet!"
Feeling Fang Huai’s eagerness, Cao Yi’s expression became a bit more serious, turned to look at Fang Huai and said:
"Did you take that risk just now for a third-class merit?"
This time, Fang Huai gave Cao Yi a "are you stupid" look for the second time:
"Big brother, are you crazy or am I? That was a petrol tanker! Pulling it out beyond the squadron was to have a buffer space! Even if it exploded, others could hide behind the building and on the playground and at least survive!
Do you suspect me of seeking glory recklessly?
Does your behavior match what I contributed? I secured a safe space for everyone, allowing you to evacuate them, but you were too afraid to let everyone think you were afraid of death, compromising the Second Squadron’s honor, right?
If I hadn’t discovered the fire was controllable, do you think I’d be scolding you when I came back?
They stand aside, can’t pitch in with the fire, yet they’re still within range of a possible explosion, dying for nothing!
For what?
Instructor Cao, the squadron’s honor must still be won by people, without these people, honor means nothing.
If I were in your position, today apart from those handling the situation, everyone else would have been hiding in the back yard!
We can sacrifice, but not in vain!"
Fang Huai said this, remembering the Tianjin Port incident from that year.
His emotions also grew more intense.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yi also started to smile, showing a look of admiration:
"I wasn’t mistaken about you."
As he spoke, he explained further, "However, I also judged that the fire just now wouldn’t explode. The leadership of the Detachment could see everything through the two cameras in the squadron’s front yard, I had my difficulties."
Fang Huai also glanced at the cameras to the left and the right, sighing.
"I know, avoiding battle is a sin."
Cao Yi nodded, looking at Wang Peng who had just struggled through 300 push-ups and fell into thought, he asked again:
"What do you think is the best way to arrange this batch of new recruits?"
(4000 monthly ticket plus Chapter, there might be a delay with today’s two Chapters.)
