   Chapter 11 Enthusiasm for running a school

  Many rules are always well enforced in the beginning, but they slowly change over time.

   Just like when Marshal Ned formulated the "Night Regulations" of the Army Officers College, he once stipulated that all teachers of the school should be on duty at night, regardless of rank and position.

   This rule was taken literally when Marshal Ned became Chancellor Ned.

  Because Ned Smith made the rules, he would actually bring a little quilt to the faculty duty room for the night shift.

   With him as an example, no one dares to pass the buck.

  When Principal Ned stepped down, this rule gradually evolved into the current "rule": all the people who were put on the night shift were newly recruited, low-ranking bachelors living in the staff dormitory.

   Not only has the staff’s scheduling rules changed, but the way students work at night is no longer the original model.

Originally, the design of each person standing on duty for four hours, patrolling for four hours, and making up for four hours of sleep became a design that the third-grade students could enter the duty room and fall asleep. Two groups of first- and second-grade students Painfully stood guard for six hours and patrolled for six hours.

   So Winters hated night duty the most until he got to the third grade.

   Because one of his lifelong hobbies is sleeping, he is particularly irritable when sleep is insufficient, and will have a serious tendency to self-destruction.

  So after Winters was promoted to the third grade, whenever he was on duty at night, he would lie down on the bed in the duty room and sleep soundly.

   He slept peacefully, because in his opinion, his duty had been completed in the previous two years, and now it was his turn to sleep.

   This kind of psychology of human beings is the reason why there are so many unreasonable rules with obvious bullying in this world that can exist and exist for a long time.

  Because these "bullying systems" have retained an upward channel and a little hope, it promises to those who are bullied: "As long as you endure the pain now, there will be a day when you will sit on someone else's head in the future."

   The so-called daughter-in-law can become a mother-in-law sooner or later as long as she does not die, the junior bachelor teachers can also be promoted to marry a daughter-in-law sooner or later, and the junior military students can become third-grade seniors sooner or later.

   So everyone had some hope in their hearts, so they all gritted their teeth and endured it, waiting for the day when they could bully others.

   But they often don't realize that this "bullied/bullied perpetual motion machine" design actually makes everyone suffer more unnecessary pain.

   The torment experienced by the night post who worked three times in a row of "eight hours of work and four hours of sleep" was not as much as that of a night post that was "hardened for twelve hours and then had to go to school the next day".

A sage named Treman/Treeman commented on this deformed system: "There must be a generation of people who have survived the hard time of being bullied, but are noble enough to stop bullying others, in order to cut off this system. kind of cycle."

   On duty this time, Winters did not fall asleep in the student duty room as he did before, but picked up his halberd and prepared to go on patrol.

   This is not because of how high Winters is, it is impossible for him to think of that level now.

   In fact, he was not supposed to be on duty today. He deliberately switched to today with someone else, just to come to Bud.

  Bard is also a member of the Federal Republic. But unlike Ike, his home is not in Guitu City, but in a small village more than 100 kilometers away from the west gate of Guitu City.

  The Confederate Army Military — to be precise, the Confederate Army Army has a hobby of "running schools".

  This hobby should theoretically be inherited from Marshal Ned who "opened a cram school", but it seems to be different.

  Although there is an "Army Officer Academy" to train junior officers, it is obviously not able to satisfy the enthusiasm of the Federal Republic of Army for running a school, so they set up an "Army Officer Preparatory School" to train students of the Army Officer Academy;

   Then set up the "Army Junior School" to train the students of the Army Officer Preparatory School.

  Winters entered the Army Junior School at Ocean Blue at the age of nine, and since then he has embarked on a career path with no choice.

   But do you think this is over? of course not. Although only infancy schools were established in the other countries, in the Piedmont Republic, the fanatical school-running schools went on to open the Army Enlightenment School to train students at the Army Infant School.

   According to this trend of infinite nesting dolls, one day we will surely see Army Kindergarten, Army Early Childhood Education Class and Army Prenatal Education Class appearing on the land of the Federal Republic.

   This strange idea of ​​wanting to start training officers from the womb has led to a situation:

  Although theoretically, the admissions requirements of the Army Military Academy have never included "must be a graduate of the Army Preparatory School";

  Although the Military Academy holds an unconditional entrance exam every year to recruit students from the Allied countries;

   But there have never been a few people who were not from the preparatory college who were admitted here, and most of the external candidates were stopped by one interview.

   The interviewers believed that they had absolutely no prejudice. It was really "external candidates are too far behind", "there is no military temperament".

   But they never thought that the external candidates were not soldiers in the first place, so how could they have the same military temperament as the internal candidates who rose from childhood schools all the way?

   Anyway, no matter what the process is, the final result is that most of the students in the military academy are internal students, and there are very few external students.

   People do not yet know whether this phenomenon is good or bad, and what kind of impact this phenomenon will have on the future of the forward republic and the entire Gulf Alliance.

   What will happen in the future, who can guess? Come back and talk about Bud.

   There are always some people in this world who can win your trust the first time they meet you, and Bud is that kind of person.

   His appearance is not offensive, with thick shoulders and big hands, a wide mouth and a wide nose, and a little cross-eyed, so he looks naive.

   He spoke at a gentle pace, his voice was a little hoarse, and there was always a little smile on his thick lips. The temperament is mild, and the temper will only turn bad when it is not full.

   At the time of admission, the school will give each person a set of summer uniforms and a set of winter uniforms, and the rich children will find a tailor to make several more sets of clothes.

  Bud has only one set, but he washes it every day.

  Among the young men who were keen to dress up, he wore his washed, whitish but clean clothes, and there was no shyness on his face.

   So when you see him for the first time, you will understand that this is a reliable person.

A sage in the east said: "There are people who are full of joy in the world, and they don't know that they are not as good as others." Winters did not know whether Bard really reached the realm of the sage of the east, or just tried to pretend to be calm. A relaxed look.

   But Winters didn't want to guess and didn't want to explore, because either the former or the latter meant that Bud was a man of great self-esteem. And Winters respects the self-respecting.
