Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 2909
2909 Fight For Honor
It was not a small matter to admit to cheating and have the news of it reported.
At the same time, it meant that it was impossible for the Chinese soldiers to cheat. It was all because the SFS border defense soldiers thought that the Chinese soldiers were cheating.
The referee looked at the Chinese soldiers and then at the silent Saluk. He said in a low voice, “Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, what basis do you have for your suspicion?”
“Just because the Chinese soldiers ran easily and because you were resting while they ran to the shooting point with rifles? Is that why you suspect that there’s something wrong?
“This has to do with the honor of a soldier. The Chinese soldiers will fight for their honor. As for you, you must bear the consequences of this entire matter! Do you still suspect them?”
Saluk was so conceited that he became impulsive and made claims without any evidence. Against the frank Chinese soldiers, he was bound to lose.
At this point, Saluk understood that he was in the wrong. The Chinese soldiers were not stupid enough to tamper with the weight. With their cunningness, they would definitely tamper with other things.
Facing Xia Jinyuan’s pressure, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk knew that if he continued, he would be unreasonable. He immediately admitted that he was wrong, but he wouldn’t admit that he suspected the Chinese soldiers of cheating. That would undoubtedly make the soldiers of other countries look down on him.
He bowed and apologized sincerely. “I’m very sorry. I didn’t make it clear, so it caused a misunderstanding. I don’t suspect the Chinese soldiers. I’m just shocked by their relaxed appearance. I just want to express my admiration for the capabilities of the Chinese soldiers.
“I’m very sorry to have made our Chinese friends misunderstand.”
He wanted to make peace, but he didn’t want to admit his mistake. Instead, he wanted to say that the Chinese soldiers misunderstood him. The eight Chinese participants couldn’t help but sneer at his apology.
Xia Jinyuan laughed softly. His smile was filled with mockery. “Out of everyone here, only you thought it was praise. This sort of misunderstanding… Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, why don’t you just say that your brain was kicked by a donkey and you made a mistake? It’ll make us believe you even more.”
His words were very straightforward. Saluk, who understood what it meant, was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.
The Chinese captain said that his brain was kicked by a donkey! This was a curse in China!
He had been cursed!
Lieutenant Colonel Saluk was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head. He could only clench his fists tightly to control his urge to punch and fight. He gritted his teeth and said in Chinese, “I don’t believe that you’re really so powerful! Just wait and see!”
“Alright then. Let’s check and see if we lightened our weight.”
Xia Jinyuan treated the other’s threat with cold disdain. He said to the referee and the military official, “We have a clear conscience. Even if Lieutenant Colonel Saluk admits his mistake, for the sake of our honor as soldiers, we still insist on getting out backpacks checked. I’m sorry, but we have to insist.”
The Chinese soldiers had to insist as their honor as soldiers was on the line. There was no reason for the referee not to cooperate.
The backpacks of the eight Chinese participants were placed on the electronic scale. They weighed each bag one by one… All of them weighed more than 35 kilograms!
It was the added weight of sweat and rainwater.
