Chapter 742 - 355: The Devil’s Gamble (Part 1)

As soon as Su Jiameng spoke, all the soldiers on the field were stunned, but they quickly transitioned from shock to anger!

The training order was effective at Cosmic Time midnight, which means the time change was made by then at the latest, yet they, as regular soldiers, didn’t receive any notice! Otherwise, even if they didn’t agree with the new Lieutenant General, they wouldn’t openly be late.

They’ve indeed become a lot more relaxed since arriving here, but this doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten what it means to obey orders. Since they became Alliance soldiers, Alliance warriors, following superior’s orders is their duty.

Even if they know it’s a deliberate method of torment from the opposition, they must do what’s required. Discontent in their hearts is one thing, but they cannot let weakness fall into the opponent’s hands!

If you want to pick flaws in your superior, you must first ensure there are no flaws in yourself! Most of these soldiers were brought up by Yu Feng, and they aren’t lacking in any aspect—intelligent enough to know how to protect themselves.

Going head-to-head against the Lieutenant General is a suicidal act; which one of these guys doesn’t understand this reasoning? Discontent in their hearts and discussions in private are all conducted secretly, it’s not brought to the public eye, and as long as it’s not pursued thoroughly, no one can say anything.

To speak frankly, even if the Lieutenant General is flawed head to toe, it’s still not a valid reason for soldiers to openly defy military orders.

So, this group very cleverly grasped the "limits," even if Su Jiameng severely called out these discussions, any punishment wouldn’t be more than superficial, while she herself would end up with a reputation of poor military management, lax discipline, and being mean.

If she didn’t pursue it, that would be even better—they could confidently talk, and others would only think that Su Jiameng had no real capability, unable to control her soldiers, unable to win their loyalty, not even obtaining basic respect.

What shocked and angered them was that this Lieutenant General doesn’t play by the rules—her actions are rough and crude, completely chaotic. It feels like a drunken fool randomly causing a ruckus, openly acting rogue!

Yes, currently, the impression Su Jiameng gives the soldiers is that of a "drunken troublemaker," a punk who doesn’t play by the rules!

What drove them even more crazy was how ruthless this woman was—such a high-intensity training regimen, does she want to train them to death?

Facing over a thousand soldiers all staring at her angrily, Su Jiameng chuckled slyly, her thin lips parted, and she started with provocation, "What? Is this all you have, all you can do? A training menu that I completed when I was fifteen, and you can’t finish it? Or are you actually a bunch of under-fifteen, naive boys, frail and unable to endure hardship?"

As someone who once was a world-class boss, maxing out the taunting skill is essential. A boss who doesn’t know how to taunt isn’t a successful boss.

Su Jiameng encountered about ten instructors in total, none of whom weren’t sharp-tongued. Even the instructor who treated her like a daughter had a biting tongue, never knew the meaning of holding back!

Severely, when he opened his mouth, timid boys would start crying, even the young Su Jiameng was frightened to tears several times.

This embarrassing history, naturally, she didn’t want others to know, and was more than happy to keep the "tradition" going. Just like a daughter-in-law enduring time to become the mother-in-law, now able to oppress and bully... Mm, that’s her mood now, satisfied!

With a few short words, Su Jiameng had firmly attracted the soldiers’ hatred, and the anger gauge was still accumulating. But she was evidently unsatisfied with these men suppressing their emotions, wanting them to show a bit more "cuteness," and jabbed twice more.

Her pitch suddenly increased, her expression serious but her eyes showed a teasing yet disdainful look, projected onto the virtual screen, "There are 1,200 people in the first camp, all male soldiers, if the records aren’t wrong, and the system isn’t malfunctioning, your gender should be accurate. A bunch of strong men, tough as iron!"

Cui Shaokang doesn’t know much about this new superior, if she had been Su Jiameng’s deputy or followed her for a time, she’d know this woman is far less serious than she appears. As a woman hanging out with a bunch of sweaty guys all day, she’s hardly prim and proper, even more bold than many men! Just like now...
