Chapter 43

"General, I think this kind of drill is completely ineffective, it’s just a waste of the brothers' energy!"

On this day, after the morning drill ended, Lin Sha was just about to talk to a few outstanding soldiers when he was unexpectedly stopped by a few soldiers who were full of mischief, laughing and joking without any form.

The other soldiers who were about to disperse saw that there was a spectacle to watch, and suddenly their legs weren’t sore and their waists weren’t aching. They quickly gathered around, their faces full of excitement.

"Niusan, what do you want? Lin Sir is the commander of the supply camp, you’d better watch your step!" Lin Sha’s hard work over these days had not been in vain. Before he even faced these few subordinates who clearly weren’t good apples, a few soldiers who had recently become close to him stepped in front of Lin Sha, their faces full of disdain as they angrily shouted.

"Get lost, I’m here to ask Lin General for advice, it’s none of your business. Best not to meddle or you’ll regret it!"

When the few mischief-making soldiers saw someone step up, their faces immediately changed, and they started cursing and shouting, clearly not taking Lin Sha seriously.

"You bastards..."

The supply camp soldiers in front of Lin Sha were instantly enraged. They glared and rolled up their sleeves, ready for a fight. As the saying goes, heads can be cut off, blood can be shed, but one’s dignity cannot be lost. If they didn’t show some resistance after being openly threatened by a few notorious troublemakers, how could they continue to serve in the camp?

"Can’t you talk things out without resorting to violence?"

The few mischief-making soldiers spat and glared back, rolling up their sleeves to reveal their scrawny arms, ready for a fight with a brazen attitude.

"Enough, do you still respect me as a battalion commander?"

Lin Sha couldn’t stand it any longer. He pulled back the few ‘confidants’ who had stepped up for him, walked with a determined stride to the few mischief-making soldiers, and glared, shouting, "I’m the boss of the supply camp. If you keep spouting nonsense, do you think I won’t deal with you?"

As he spoke, his blood flowed faster, and his muscles visibly swelled. A powerful aura burst forth, making the few soldiers pale. Under Lin Sha’s fierce gaze, their faces turned red, and they panted heavily, not daring to make a sound, like ducks with their necks squeezed, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Damn, the battalion commander has such a strong aura!

The surrounding soldiers, feeling Lin Sha’s imposing presence, were all shocked and involuntarily took a few steps back, feeling the atmosphere less oppressive.

"Speak, what do you have to say?"

Lin Sha narrowed his eyes and chuckled, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of a few military officers in the crowd. His face remained calm, but he was inwardly sneering.

"Nothing is unspeakable. As long as your reasons are sound, this battalion commander will forgive your insolence this time. I hope you don’t miss this chance, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your lives!"

A naked threat!

Lin Sha’s words were far more intimidating than the earlier shouting of the few mischief-making soldiers. Not only did the few soldiers facing Lin Sha change their expressions, but even the surrounding soldiers couldn’t help but show their shock.

"Well, Battalion Commander, please forgive us. We believe that the morning drills of just jogging have no real value. The brothers are still the same as before, it would be better not to train at all!"

The few mischief-making soldiers, feeling the pressure suddenly ease, breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Lin Sha turn the conversation back to them, they couldn’t help but lower their stance and speak softly, their earlier arrogance completely gone.

"Oh, is that really what you think?"

Lin Sha didn’t explode as the soldiers expected; instead, he asked with a playful smile.

This time, his peripheral vision swept over the surrounding soldiers, but the result was disappointing. The few who had recently become very close to him, who had stepped up to protect him from the troublemakers and were even ready to fight to establish his authority, now showed some hesitation on their faces.

Most of the other surrounding soldiers showed either subtle or direct agreement. The few supply camp military officers mixed in the crowd even smiled in victory, their satisfaction almost impossible to hide.

The reaction of his subordinates really made him feel a deep sense of helplessness and frustration...

"That’s right, we all think so!"

The few mischief-making soldiers, now in a difficult position, exchanged glances and had to harden their resolve, their faces ‘resolute.’

Damn, making me look like the villain!

Lin Sha was extremely displeased, but his face still wore a ‘gentle’ smile. He asked softly, "Then what do you think is the correct way to conduct morning drills?"

Seeing that Lin Battalion Commander didn’t lose his temper and even continued the conversation, the few mischief-making soldiers were delighted. The bravest among them laughed and said, "At least it should be the normal formation and combat training of our Yunnan army."

Malicious intent! Bad intentions!

Lin Sha immediately labeled the few mischief-making soldiers in front of him, his face suddenly turning cold as he shouted, "With your ‘weak and frail’ bodies, you still want to undergo daily high-intensity formation and combat training?"

Lin Sha’s sudden change in attitude startled all the supply camp soldiers, and then they burst into laughter. Only the few mischief-making soldiers who were the targets of the laughter were left with red, ashamed faces.

"Battalion Commander, although our bodies are weak, we have spirit. We shouldn’t be a laughingstock for you!"

The bravest of the mischief-making soldiers, his face full of anger, clenched and unclenched his fists several times, his eyes full of hostility as he looked at Lin Sha.

"Oh, really?" Lin Sha asked with a half-smile.

"Of course, it’s true!" The few mischief-making soldiers stood tall and proud, but their poor image and demeanor made them look like monkeys in fancy hats.

"Good!"

Lin Sha smiled and nodded, but his words made the atmosphere tense, "This battalion commander will give you a chance to prove yourselves. All five of you, come at me. Let me see just how strong the spirit of a soldier can be."

"..."

Everyone present, soldiers and officers alike, was stunned. They all looked at Lin Battalion Commander, who was tall but slightly fat and lacked any imposing presence, as if he were a fool...
