At this moment, as Wang Ye’s words fell, the second platoon reconnaissance soldiers collectively wore a dumbfounded expression and looked over.
Clearly, someone wanted to say something, but seeing Wang Ye’s stern face, they closed their mouths.
Wang Ye was a new platoon leader, but not the type who came from a military academy.
They didn’t have the courage to argue with Wang Ye.
Clutching their fists tightly and with a tense expression, the reconnaissance soldiers could only watch the soldiers from the mess hall on the other side, who had expressions like it was a holiday, continually busy, contributing to their tasks.
It was a joy to behold, having reconnaissance soldiers wash their clothes for them, something the mess hall soldiers had never even dared to think about before.
These guys were quite proud.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the platoon leaders, big or small, often acted friendly with you, and would even frequently give you a cigarette.
In fact, these guys did so only for their own benefit, so they wanted to build a good relationship with you.
The soldiers from the mess hall knew this very well; in the minds of the reconnaissance troops, most of them probably looked down on them, the cooks.
After all, in the Criminal Investigation Company, except for the logistics officer, everyone else in the mess hall was a certified cook.
Unlike some ordinary platoons, where old sergeants change careers halfway and force themselves to become cooks.
Wang Ye took in their expressions, inwardly amused, but on the surface, he continued to deliberately wear a stern face standing there.
He wanted to break these guys’ arrogance.
They really thought they were the biggest deal.
Arrogance, for a soldier, especially for reconnaissance soldiers, could be deadly.
“Heh heh, well, Platoon Leader Wang… is here!” Soon, the mess hall leader spoke up.
Right now, there was a pile of clothes, aprons, and even underwear in front of him, and there were even dishcloths beside it.
“Get moving! What are you standing around for?” Wang Ye immediately glared at the second platoon of reconnaissance soldiers.
With that one sentence, they sprang into action.
Of course, it’s true that there are plenty of troublemakers among the elite, and those without the ability will definitely cause trouble.
It’s just unfortunate for them that they couldn’t cause any trouble in front of Wang Ye.
So now, although each reconnaissance soldier had a stern face, they resignedly began to act.
Using the buckets, basins, and other items brought out by the cheerful mess hall soldiers, the reconnaissance soldiers took the dirty clothes and aprons they had brought out, and even those dishcloths, and started washing.
“Wash them clean, and also, be gentle but firm. If you tear them, take off your own clothes and give them to the mess hall brothers to wear!”
Wang Ye shouted again.
The reconnaissance soldiers remained silent, but Wang Ye didn’t stop talking.
During the intervals when they were washing clothes, Wang Ye stood behind them, pacing back and forth.
“Let me tell you, don’t think too highly of yourselves. Does having good physical fitness mean you can soar like an eagle? Excellence is something others say about you after you’ve achieved something, not your own self-inflation.”
Halting his steps, Wang Ye looked at them and continued in a deep voice, “What is a reconnaissance soldier? I think you should all be very clear, but have you examined yourselves if you’ve lived up to it? 1 see that you’ve long forgotten your original intentions. Each of you only thinks about toughening up physically more than regular platoons and shooting more bullets than regular platoons, am I right?”
“Let me tell you, today is just the first lesson. From now on, no talking is allowed. Help the mess hall brothers wash these clothes properly, and later, 1’11 bring you paper and pens. This afternoon, each of you will write a reflection on how you understand the role of a reconnaissance soldier!”
“Do you understand?”
“Yes!” Even though many reconnaissance soldiers were cursing under their breaths, they dared not remain silent in response.
Hearing their reply, Wang Ye then turned to the mess hall leader, saying, “Class leader, please keep an eye on them. If anyone slacks off, make a note of it. When I come back, I’ll bring them some treats!”
“Hehe, sure thing, Platoon Leader Wang, you can rest assured. 1 guarantee I’ll keep a close watch on them!” The mess hall leader grinned and nodded.
He wasn’t afraid of these reconnaissance soldiers. Although he was a cook, if they dared to provoke him, he wouldn’t hesitate to add an extra pinch of salt to their meals in the evening.
Of course, none of the reconnaissance soldiers dared to openly challenge the mess hall staff. They might grumble in private, but confronting the cooks openly would be a sign of utter foolishness.
“Great, thanks, Class leader!” Wang Ye expressed his gratitude and then turned around.
He needed to make a quick trip back to the company headquarters. The company commander was still waiting for him, and he wanted to see if Fu Wei had anything to discuss.
Meanwhile, back at the company headquarters.
“Did you say Wang Ye had the second platoon wash the clothes for the mess hall soldiers?”
Fu Wei looked at the communication officer next to him, sounding somewhat incredulous.
The communication officer nodded quickly and said, “That’s right, not just clothes but also aprons and even the mess hall’s underwear!”
“Alright!” Fu Wei nodded thoughtfully.
Earlier, when Wang Ye had followed the second platoon and left, he had instructed the communication officer to take a quick look and see what Wang Ye was up to.
Of course, it was just a quick glance from outside the mess hall to see what Wang Ye was preparing to do..
