At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Ming sent Shen Xue back to the political committee's residence. He also gave Shen Xue half of the loach and eel he caught today so that she could take it back to make soup.
"Brother Ming, aren't you staying for dinner?”Shen Xue stood at the door and looked at Chen Ming.
"I'm not staying. I have to go to the special forces training ground later. I'll come and see you another day!”Chen Ming replied.
Shen Xue also knew that Chen Ming's work was heavy. It was already very rare for him to find time to accompany her out for a walk today, so she did not ask Chen Ming to stay. Instead, she reminded him,""Brother Ming, take care. Remember not to forget to eat dinner!”
"I'll remember. Bye!" Chen Ming waved at Shen Xue before he turned around and got into the jeep, rushing towards the special forces training ground.
Half an hour later, Chen Ming arrived at the training ground.
It was already dark, but the three hundred soldiers were still training.
Without Chen Ming's instructions, Gao Jianguo didn't dare to let the soldiers stop training.
Seeing Chen Ming return, Gao Jianguo and Lin Guang immediately walked over.
"Chief A!" The two of them saluted.
Chen Ming nodded and walked to the soldiers who were training.
When the soldiers saw Chen Ming, they immediately perked up and trained harder.
They were well aware of how strict Chen Ming was. They were afraid that Chen Ming would be displeased with them and eliminate them.
Chen Ming looked at the soldiers doing push-ups on the grass and turned to ask Gao Jianguo,""How many people were eliminated today?"
Gao Jianguo looked embarrassed and said,""Sorry, Chief A, only ten people have been eliminated!”
He remembered that Chen Ming had told him to eliminate another 50 people before he left this morning.
However, Gao Jianguo was soft-hearted and did not follow Chen Ming's orders. He only eliminated ten injured soldiers.
Chen Ming didn't blame Gao Jianguo. Instead, he said,""It doesn't matter. We'll be able to eliminate 50 people later, or even more!”
Gao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Chen Ming was planning.
"Little Light, go find a grill and bring some chili and garlic over. We'll make barbecue later!”Chen Ming turned his head and instructed Lin Guang.
"Yes, sir!" Lin Guang turned around and went to get his things.
"Old Gao, I have half a bucket of loaches, eels, and frogs caught from the fields in my jeep. Take it and deal with it. Later, roast it and eat it as dinner!”Chen Ming turned around and instructed Gao Jianguo.
"Yes, sir!" Gao Jianguo immediately did as he was told.
After a while, Chen Ming set up the grill in front of all the soldiers. He raised the charcoal fire and placed the washed and removed internal organs of the frog and eel on the charcoal fire to roast.
While roasting, he smeared chili oil and minced garlic!
Under the burning of the charcoal fire, these wild animals were roasted until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The surface emitted sizzling sounds, and oil kept splashing out.
After applying a layer of minced garlic and chili oil, the fragrance immediately spread.
The soldiers who were training were already famished. When they smelled the alluring aroma of barbecue, their eyes lit up.
Chen Ming skewered a roasted frog with a bamboo skewer and took a bite. He smacked his lips and sighed,"How fragrant!"
When the soldiers saw Chen Ming eating so happily, they were salivating.
Chen Ming picked up a skewer of roasted frog and waved it in front of the soldiers. He asked,""Do you guys want to eat?"
"Yes!" The soldiers nodded.
A smile appeared on Chen Ming's face as he turned to Lin Guang and said,""Xiao Guang, go to the jeep's trunk and take out those plastic bags. That's the dinner I prepared for them!”
"Yes, sir!" Lin Guang turned around and went to get it.
When he came over with the heavy plastic bags, his expression was very strange.
"Put the plastic bag on the ground and open it for them to see!”Chen Ming ordered.
Lin Guang nodded and placed a few plastic bags in front of the soldiers.
The soldiers were a little surprised. Why did Chen Ming change his attitude today? He actually prepared dinner for them.
Under the curious gazes of the soldiers, Lin Guang opened the plastic bag.
Inside the pouch, a dense mass of fat green insects were wriggling.
The soldiers, who were originally hungry, immediately lost their appetite when they saw the green insects wriggling their bodies. They even wanted to vomit.
Then, Lin Guang opened the mouths of the other plastic bags one by one. There were all kinds of insects inside.
Grasshoppers, earthworms, autumn silkworms, mantises, there was everything!
These bugs were piled up in plastic bags. Whether it was trypophobia or entomophobia, their legs would go weak when they saw them.
Even ordinary people would feel their scalps go numb when they saw the dense insects in the bag.
" Chief A, this is…" A soldier looked at Chen Ming with a troubled expression.
Chen Ming said as he ate the roasted frog,""I told you, this is your dinner. Do you think I'm joking?”
After he finished the roasted frog in his hand, he put the toothpick in his mouth and swept his gaze across the soldiers. He said in a clear voice,"Everyone, listen up. Everyone, eat at least one worm. If you don't dare to eat it, take off your helmet and return to your old army!”
Everyone's expression changed, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Even if they were starving, they had never thought of using worms to fill their stomachs. They did not dare to think about it, nor did they dare to do it.
At this moment, a soldier could not hold it in anymore. He raised his hand and shouted,"Report!"
Chen Ming glanced at him." What's the matter?”
The soldier glared at Chen Ming and shouted,""To think that I thought that the training was so hard just to filter out the elites, but you actually made us eat bugs. I only know now that you've only been torturing us from the beginning to the end to satisfy your perverted and twisted mind!”
"Captain A, are you going to tell us that special forces soldiers have to eat bugs? Is there any logic to this?"
The soldier's words immediately resonated with many people present.
Nearly half of the soldiers looked at Chen Ming angrily.
They could not imagine the connection between eating bugs and being a special forces soldier. They thought that Chen Ming was just deliberately messing with them.
Faced with the anger of the crowd, Chen Ming's expression was very calm. He said,"Special forces often need to carry out infiltration missions. If you are trapped inside the enemy's territory during the infiltration mission and have no source of food, let me ask you, what should you do?”
Everyone was stunned.
" Endure it then," a soldier replied." It's fine to starve a few times!"”
"What if you can't take it anymore?" " The duration of a special operation can be as short as a few days or as long as a few months," Chen Ming said in a deep voice." Are you immortals? How can you not eat for so long?"”
Hearing Chen Ming's words, everyone fell silent.
"Are you guys trying to say that you'll go look for food if you don't have it?" Chen Ming said coldly. To find wild chickens and rabbits, to fish in the river?”
One of the soldiers had intended to say this, but when he heard Chen Ming say it first, he could only hold it in.
"Do you really think that wild chickens and rabbits are that easy to find?”" Even if there are wild chickens and rabbits in the forest," Chen Ming said sternly," the special operation is a race against time. Would they give you time to catch them?"”
"Even if you are lucky and catch some wild animals, how are you going to eat them? Do you want to start a fire and cook?"
"By starting a fire within the enemy's territory, are you deliberately trying to attract the enemy?”
"Let me tell you, most of the special forces 'operations have to pass through no man's land. They are accompanied by forests and trees. When there is no food, insects are the easiest food to find.”
"The rich protein content of insects can not only make people feel full, but also replenish the nutrients that their bodies lack due to long journeys!”
"Do you understand now?"
Chen Ming's every word was extremely loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears.
The soldiers who were still indignant just now immediately did not dare to make a sound.
"I won't force you to eat it. If you don't dare to eat it, you can take off your helmets and leave.”Chen Ming shouted again.
