Yes, 24 hours a day, 168 hours a week. This was, of course, common sense. The problem was that Li Huailin did not calculate it at all and just said it casually. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that it was indeed the case. There were only 168 hours in a week, and there were 160 hours of training. Not to mention anything else, training for 23 hours a day and then sleeping for an hour was definitely going to kill someone.
Li Huailin just wanted to increase the training time, so he didn't think too much about it. After thinking about it, he said directly, "Don't we still have eight hours of rest time? That's already very merciful, okay? I'm a little touched by myself. "
After saying that, Li Huailin pointed to the soldiers and asked, "Don't you think so? There are 8 hours of rest a week. Isn't this giving you a lot of face?"
Merciful my ass! Legg couldn't take it anymore. What was going on? Training for 160 hours a week was really not a problem of looking for trouble, okay? Just now, robbing others of their pay was already seeking money, but now, it was directly killing them, okay? What kind of deep hatred did you have for the First Legion? Were you going to drill them to the point of death? Legg couldn't take it anymore.
Of course, Legg could not let Li Huailin play like this. Something was definitely going to happen. Just as he was about to step forward to dissuade him, a loud cheer suddenly burst out from the soldiers.
"What! 160 hours of training a week? Doesn't that mean we have to train 23 hours a day? "
"What? Is that how it is calculated? 23 hours a day, doesn't that mean there's no time to sleep at all? "
"This is simply not giving us a way out. This … isn't this too good!"
Li Huailin was also slightly stunned. He had already said that, but the soldiers on this side actually did not react? Only now did he realize that the soldiers' mathematical skills were limited. Needless to say, their favorability toward him immediately began to skyrocket.
"Long live the marshal!" "Long live the marshal!"
There was no need for anyone to take the lead at all. In an instant, the soldiers on this side shouted in unison. This was simply a move that deeply affected every soldier present. They had never seen a marshal who wanted to kill them like this.
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Huailin nodded in satisfaction. "I knew it. It's only 23 hours of training a day. It's not hard at all. Everyone will get used to it soon."
How could he get used to it? Legg, who was at the back, couldn't help but think. He was already very sure that these soldiers were definitely out of their minds. Or perhaps it was because his lord's commanding ability was too high that people would listen to whatever nonsense he said. But no matter what, no one in the barracks would be able to stand in less than a week after training for 23 hours a day.
"As the saying goes, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime." Li Huailin seemed to be quite satisfied with this and continued to preach, "And please rest assured, I will definitely not train with everyone. I am a person who likes to be special. When you guys are training downstairs and training to the point of death, I will definitely rest by the side, eat a cold drink, hug a girl, and watch everyone sweat. Also, in order to keep up with the increased physical requirements, the cafeteria will only serve cabbages from now on. Of course, I won't eat them. My portion must be special, and then there's no need to talk about the money. Legg, send it to my house. "
"What?! Long live the Marshal! " Needless to say, Li Huailin's special speech immediately caused another round of cheers from the soldiers.
"…" Legg really didn't know what to say. To be honest, he was a little nervous when he heard that he was going to become the Deputy Commander of the First Legion. This was not an easy job. Although he was the Minister of Military Affairs, there were only a few thousand private troops below him. The First Legion was the empire's strongest force, with more than 90,000 troops below him. Legg was worried that his ability was limited and he couldn't do this job well, and he couldn't satisfy Li Huailin.
This thought had been lingering in Legg's mind until just now … Now Legg suddenly felt that he had a serious misunderstanding of the Deputy Commander's job. This job didn't seem to be assisting the Marshal in managing the barracks at all. Now it felt like he was thinking of ways to let the soldiers survive under Li Huailin's persecution …
"No, Lord Marshal." Legg immediately said, "This really can't be done like this. Training for 23 hours a day, no matter who it is, they won't be able to last three days. All the soldiers are going to collapse this week. This is going to kill people."
"How can people die so easily?" Li Huailin waved his hand. "Besides, I've already said it. Ask them if they agree."
"Of course not!" Of course, the soldiers on this side wouldn't agree. Such a great thing was simply a gift from the heavens. How could they give up? They immediately shouted in unison.
"Stop messing around. Who the f * ck am I speaking for?" Legg couldn't help but go berserk. He couldn't shout at Li Huailin, but the soldiers could.
"Legg, calm down," Li Huailin said immediately.
"No, Marshal …"
Legg still wanted to say something, but Li Huailin waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers below, "Alright, the last one!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers immediately stood up straight. Now that their loyalty was almost full, Li Huailin basically did not have to worry about the loyalty of the First Legion. However, since he had already said three new orders, Li Huailin had to get three.
"I like competition very much. After all, competition brings motivation to rise," Li Huailin said. "So from now on, we will introduce a competitive mechanism in the barracks."
"Huh?" Legg was stunned again. It was not because what Li Huailin said was wrong, but because it was too right. In fact, after such an unreliable and incomprehensible order, Legg felt a little strange about Li Huailin's seemingly normal order. It was as if he felt that the Marshal could speak human language.
"From today onwards, the First, Second, and Third Cavalry, which is the Blazing Sun Cavalry, will officially be promoted to elite troops and enjoy the treatment of elite troops. Of course, from today onwards, any soldier will have the opportunity to enter such an elite troop. An assessment system will be implemented every month. At least 2% of the elite troops will be discharged and replaced with better soldiers, "Li Huailin said.
"Oh?" The soldiers were a little surprised, but they didn't find it strange. As a matter of fact, the treatment of the Blazing Sun Valiant Cavalry was different from that of ordinary soldiers. Although it wasn't officially recognized as an elite troop, it was almost the same. What Li Huailin added was nothing more than an assessment so that they could have a chance to enter the elite troop. According to the current scale, about 100 people would be eliminated every month and replaced by others. That was not bad, but why did they feel uncomfortable?
Seeing that their loyalty had dropped, Li Huailin said hurriedly, "Of course, the treatment of our elite troops is absolutely different from that of ordinary soldiers. First of all, elite soldiers have no salary at all!"
"Huh?" All the people present were stunned again.
"Of course, there will still be rations. Of course, it will only be enough for you to eat. Don't worry, we will calculate it down to the last two decimal places. We will definitely not let you have any leftover rations to bring back to your family," Li Huailin said with unusual firmness. "Do you understand what I mean? That is to say, from now on, your whole family will have to go hungry. From now on, as long as you enter the elite troop, congratulations, you will help our country every day, and your family will not even have enough to eat. Of course, in order to avoid any accidents, I will apply to the Civil Affairs Department. As long as you are in the elite troop of the First Legion, your family will never receive government subsidies. That is to say, unless your wife can make money, your whole family may starve to death. What do you think? "
"What?" The soldiers below the stage were in a slight commotion. Everyone on the stage didn't know what to do anymore. You are no longer harming people's lives. You are starting to harm the lives of your whole family. This … I am also rebelling.
"By the way, Legg, send the money to my house," Li Huailin continued.
"…" Legg couldn't be bothered to answer. Are you really here to steal money …
"That's … That's great!" Suddenly, a soldier suddenly knelt down. Yes, he cried, tears streaming down his face. "I … I am so lucky. I have been a soldier for half my life. I didn't expect to meet a good marshal around His Highness who really wants to kill us and our whole family! I … I'm so lucky … "
His words resonated with many veterans. Yes, the First Legion was an old army, and there were many veterans in it. Hearing this soldier's words, many soldiers were touched by the scene and began to cry silently. The scene suddenly became melancholic. Legg and the others on the stage had already turned into "= = =". They really didn't know what to do. Weren't they the only ones who felt that there was a problem?
"Lord Marshal!" Their loyalty had risen to the highest. After all, Li Huailin was already so crazy. In an instant, all the soldiers submitted to him. Li Huailin also had perfect control of the First Legion. With just a shout, Li Huailin understood that it was worth it to spend so much time thinking of ways to persecute them.
"En." Li Huailin nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the time. It had already been an hour. The Jade Emperor was not so easy to talk to, so he waved to Legg. "Legg, I have something to do here. I'll leave this place to you." After saying that, Li Huailin returned to the city and left in a flash.
"This … Leave it to me?" Legg finally reacted. He stared blankly in the direction Li Huailin left. "Lord, this … I can't do it. What should I do?"
