My Italian: Chapter 162 Battalion Commander Cosenz

The use of electricity has indeed affected the lives of a large number of people. Of course, there are also a large number of people who have not been able to enjoy the attractiveness of electricity.

But whether it is affected or not, Italy has entered the age of electricity. Although it is weak, it is indestructible and growing rapidly.

But for Cosenz, he didn't know about the electricity or anything, because he was bothering about his team and didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things.

Standing on the beach, he looked a little sad when he saw his camp, because half of the people in his camp couldn't swim.

Being a member of the navy and not being able to swim is a bit too much.

However, considering that these recruits are basically from inland areas, it can be reasonably explained.

Of course, whether this is related to the battle between the army and the army, and the army deliberately playing tricks, this is not what he can care about as a small major battalion commander. What he needs to care more about is to train his own soldiers. In any case, it can't be worse than his old army, that's not to be ridiculed.

Well, one more thing, Cosenz was promoted, he was promoted from captain to major. After the Abyssinian War, he was promoted to major for merit and also became deputy battalion commander. He was later transferred from the Praetorian Guards, along with a large number of his colleagues, to become a member of the Navy in dark blue uniforms, and a battalion commander of the Marine Corps.

And when he took office, the battalion commander had nothing, except for the subordinate officers who were also transferred from the Praetorian Guards. But they didn't make them wait any longer. Later, hundreds of recruits were sent from above, which finally freed him from the embarrassment of having only officers and no soldiers.

However, since they are recruits, they need to be trained by good students, so Cosenz took the officers under his command to teach these good students a lesson and let them know what life in the military is, which also made him win the fear of the soldiers.

Yes, it is fear.

Because in this day and age, no one says that officers and soldiers are equal. The armies of all countries are basically the same, and it is normal for officers to be treated more favorably than soldiers. No one dared to express any objection to this, and everyone came here like this. If you are dissatisfied, you should shut up and make yourself an officer. Only then will you be qualified to speak.

"You rookies, listen to me, now I want you to swim in the sea. I have taught them how to swim before. If they can't, then drown in the sea. Our navy doesn't need soldiers who can't swim. , because it will be ridiculed. And I am not a patient person, you should know this. Now I order, go to the sea at once."

On Cosenz's orders, hundreds of soldiers were driven into the sea by the officers. Of course, all kinds of ironic things also happened in this. Some soldiers tried to stand in the waist-deep sea water and stopped moving forward, and were kicked by the officer. I also tried to find a floating object to make myself safer when I learned to swim, but was directly removed by the officer.

Of course, as officers, they can't just watch their soldiers in danger. The dozen or so boats prepared by the sea have already been rowed out, ready to drag the soldiers who are full of seawater onto the boat at any time.

As for Cosenz, how could someone who grew up by the sea in Palermo not know how to swim. After driving the soldiers into the sea, he also sat on a wooden boat and watched the soldiers soaked in the sea.

"You, don't lie on top of your teammates."

"And you, don't stand on the rocks at the bottom of the sea. You just use your hands to disguise and paddle, I've seen it already."

As the soldiers who were trying to get out of the way were pulled out one by one by Cosenz, the whole sea was full of recruits paddling randomly.

"Remember the main points I said, don't mess up, don't panic, sink your heart to feel the buoyancy, use your limbs to master this balance, it's nothing at all."

Although Cosenz continued to explain by his side, there were still soldiers who couldn't control their inner fears and kept drinking the salty sea water. Of course, these soldiers who drank enough seawater were constantly being picked up by wooden boats.

In just five minutes, nearly a hundred people were picked up by wooden boats. There are nearly 100 people who don't seem to be able to support it for a long time. And the wooden boats shuttled through the crowd, constantly sending these full of soldiers ashore.

Of course, these soldiers who went ashore were all lying on the beach without exception, trying to spit out the seawater they drank to relieve their pain, but it was not that easy.

Such a tragic image made the deputy battalion commander Major Del around him a little hard to see, and he couldn't help but said. "Is this too much for them? I think it should start with the simplest, and not directly drive them into the sea."

Major Del also came from the Praetorian Guards, but instead of the three regiments dominated by the rest of the Red Shirts, he came from the first regiment. A regiment was left in the country this time, and did not participate in the Abyssinian War~www.mtlnovel.com~ So this Major Del had an unbearable expression.

"This difficulty is unbearable. It is not worthy of being a soldier of the 1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 1st Marine Brigade. I demand that my battalion must be elite, if not then train it to be elite. If it can't be with other battalions How can you be called elite?

Well, Cosenz now has big ambitions to make his first battalion the benchmark. Of course, becoming a benchmark is not something that can be achieved verbally. He also needs to arrange the training plan reasonably, and at the same time increase the daily training volume, because soldiers can only ensure familiarity with more training. Of course, the physical consumption and mental dissatisfaction caused by this also require him to find a way.

Fortunately, Cosenz also came from the soldier's level. Although he was in the red shirt army at the time, he still understood the thoughts of ordinary soldiers. He could adopt reasonable measures according to local conditions to reduce the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. Of course, necessary rest is also needed, so that the soldiers' tense nerves can be rested, which is beneficial to the next stage of training.

The swimming training ended after an hour, and finally the beach was full of exhausted soldiers, and of course there were many soldiers with abdominal swelling, which were all drinking too much.

Watching the exhausted soldiers being drilled, Cosenz planned to let them go today.

"Okay, today's training is over, we will continue training tomorrow."

Cosenz's words made the soldiers cheer for a while. Although they seemed weak, it also showed the soldiers' desire to rest more.

Of course, tomorrow's training can't be swimming, because this time has already deeply affected many people, and they need to slow down.

But tomorrow's training for the soldiers won't be easy, because Cosenz has a surprise for them, hoping it won't scare them.
