Several of those blisters were torn, exposing a layer of pale skin tissue. Ye Jian sprayed it with anti-inflammatory medicine and wrapped her hand with bandages before she continued training.
The commissar asked the instructor to inform her and went over to discuss with Commander Liu. One week had passed, Jian’s driving competency had risen and could compensate for the lack of experience.
It was time to rest. Besides Ye Jian, all the soldiers, including those who were maintaining the cars, were taking a break. There was only a car driving around the training ground, catching everyone’s attention.
“Where is this girl from? She trains hard every day as if she’s going to the battlefield the next day. I get scared when I look at her.”
“Maybe she’s one of the leader’s daughters who’s going to enlist in winter. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be training this hard.”
“That’s rubbish. She’s not even eighteen yet. How could she enter the army when she’s just a senior high school student? Besides, which leader’s daughter would be willing to suffer with us. Previously, there was a chief who brought his daughter over. The guards had to serve her water when she was thirsty.”
“Shh! Speak softer! Do you want to be punished for talking about the leaders?”
A few soldiers were whispering to one another in the resting area. Everyone would say a thing or two when they saw that the car had not stopped on the training ground.
These soldiers were all enlisted last year and assigned to the motorized companies in June. They were different from the motorized infantry who were going to the Imperial City. All they were responsible for were repair and maintenance of the vehicles.
They came over on Friday when Ye Jian was here. She didn’t know that they were talking about her secretly.
However, many of them envied her. Only elite soldiers could touch the cars. They could only stand out when they were able to start training here one day.
“All of you sitting here like chatting like aunts, is that right?” A majestic baritone voice sounded from behind them, frightening the soldiers. They immediately sprang up and stood in a line before turning around. “Regiment Commander!”
It was Commander Liu who was passing behind them. He glanced at them sternly and the male soldiers were overwhelmed by his presence. Even so, they had to hold their chests up and stand still while looking in front.
“Is there nothing for all of you to do? Go and clean the pile of wheels in front of me! Lubricate and paint the wheel hubs! Understood?!” Commander Liu had huge authority in the unit. Every word of his represented the army’s prestige. The soldiers could only obey his command.
Obedience was a soldier’s duty. As long as it was correct, they had no reason to refute.
Just like now, they were caught by the commander for gossiping and were instructed to do things that were under their duties and responsibilities. No one would dare to resist. If they did, they would be punished!
The soldiers did not dare to mention anything else and replied in unison, “Understood!”, before rushing to the front of the small mountain heap of wheels immediately and maintained them.
The wheels were arranged neatly in order. Every single one had to be brought down and maintained meticulously. Some were worn out and had to be scrapped.
It was the easiest for novices like Ye Jian to wear the wheels out when they started driving as braking urgently could leave tire marks on the ground.
But not now. The steering wheel was like an obedient child in Ye Jian’s hands. The car moved according to how Ye Jian wanted it to.
