Chapter 155: Physical Fitness: Can't Run to Death
Several team members heard the gunshots and felt a burning sensation on their heels, which frightened them so much that they panicked and broke out in cold sweats.

They thought to themselves, this captain is really brave to shoot! So they hurriedly ran forward and ran faster, fearing that they would be left behind again.

These guys quickly surpassed the teammates in front of them. Seeing this, the guys in front of them were unwilling to fall behind and tried their best to catch up.

Thus, a race of chasing each other quietly started in the team. With the tacit cooperation among the players, the speed of the team's overall progress was greatly improved.

In the advancing team, the tense and exciting atmosphere gradually heated up, and everyone was concentrating on meeting the challenge, for fear of being left behind.

From time to time, Liu Zhiye would chase the team member who was at the back of the team, kick him in the butt, and drive him forward.

In this way, the members of the team were like ducks being chased by Liu Zhiye and kept running forward.

On the way back, some people were so tired that they collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, struggling to get up, but Liu Zhiye walked leisurely in the garden, with steady steps and a calm expression.

After witnessing his superhuman physical strength, the members of Team 7 couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "What a beast!"

Liu Zhiye looked at the exhausted team member in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and sneered with a contemptuous tone: "Are you giving in so soon?" His words echoed in the air, and the team member lowered his head in shame.

Liu Zhiye shouted loudly: "Get up quickly and keep running!" He had no sympathy at this time and shouted directly to the team member.

"Ah!" With a roar, the man struggled to get up and staggered forward.

After carrying the load for 10 kilometers and enduring hunger, many team members were exhausted. When they finally reached the camp, they could only support each other and move back step by step.

They no longer have any temporary disputes, but only the friendship of comrades-in-arms who share life and death.

Liu Zhiye nodded with satisfaction. Seeing this scene, he felt that his goal had been achieved.

Although these people come from different units or troops, after a period of getting along, the feelings between them will gradually deepen and the bumps and bumps will gradually decrease.

This is exactly what he expected and what he looked forward to. After all, the emotions between people need time and experience to cultivate.

Exactly one hour after they gathered in the camp, Liu Zhiye ordered them to go for dinner and gave them a severe reprimand before dismissing them.

"Team Seven is here, everyone assemble!"

"Before disbanding, I have a special rule. In view of the violations of discipline by your entire team, everyone needs to write a self-criticism of more than 3,000 words, deeply reflecting on the mistakes you have made..."

"Let me be frank with you. I'm letting you off lightly this time. If there's a next time, you'll all be kicked out. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone responded.

"Okay! Zhang Hui, take the two teams to the cafeteria." Liu Zhiye ordered.

At this moment, Li Ming came over quickly, and Liu Zhiye handed him his equipment. He asked casually, "How is the food tonight?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "Not bad. The staple food is steamed buns with ginseng flour, and the dishes are stewed potatoes and cold lotus roots."

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded. Faced with the severe situation during the current peak period of natural disasters, such a level of food was already quite good, enough to ensure that each team member's daily food standard reached 5 cents.

In order to increase the intensity of training, nutrition must keep up, but the training brigade has sufficient funds but lacks supplies. Therefore, he intends to purchase meat or seafood for the training team, since it doesn't matter who he sells it to. At most, he won't make money by doing this, but at least he can provide the training team with some necessary nutrition.

At this time, Liu Zhiye said to Li Ming: "Please prepare a meal for me and send it to my office. I have something to deal with..."

"Okay, leader." Li Ming nodded and turned to leave.

Not long after I sat down in the office, Instructor Xu Shifang knocked on the door and came in.

"Captain, are you back?" he greeted with a smile.

Liu Zhiye smiled and greeted him, "The instructor is here, please sit down first, I'll go wash my face."

After a while, after washing off the dust on his face, Liu Zhiye felt refreshed. Then, he smiled and said, "Instructor, do you have something to ask me?" Xu Shifang looked at Liu Zhiye with a smile, nodded and asked, "I heard that you got angry as soon as you came back. What happened?"

When Liu Zhiye heard Xu Shifang talking about this, he immediately became furious. He couldn't help but say, "Oh, even if you don't come, I will bring this up at the meeting tomorrow. It's simply outrageous, a bunch of cunning soldiers, a bunch of ruffians..."

Then he continued, "It's totally lawless. This behavior is outrageous, but I have already punished them. However, our entire brigade should take this as a warning and strengthen ideological education..."

Xu Shifang was furious when he heard this. Something that had never happened in many years had happened now.

Comrades abused and mocked each other, and even fought in groups. Is this still a people's team? He couldn't help but wonder.

He said sternly: "I think they are just spoiled. They are just looking for trouble when they have nothing to do. It seems that our training intensity is not enough, and their ideological education should be more profound."

"Captain, I suggest this. We can select a few outstanding examples and set them as role models, and severely punish those who perform poorly..."

Liu Zhiye thought about it and said, "Well, sure! I think we should start with daily training, housekeeping evaluation, and doing good deeds."

"For example, setting up a mobile red flag is a good idea, which can enhance their sense of honor. The mobile red flag can be divided into two types: collective and individual, to motivate everyone."

"In our team, we actively carry out the "double competition" activities, striving to create an advanced collective and to become an excellent team member.

We can conduct competitions and break down each task such as housekeeping, training, study, theory, etc. into small visible red flags. Each class will be evaluated every week, each team every half month, and each squadron every month, and the corresponding flags will be hung.

If possible, the flowing red flag is like a strict referee, quantifying our every word, action and gesture.”

Xu Shifang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said excitedly: "What a good idea! I had only heard that the production team set up the 'mobile red flag' to motivate everyone. I didn't expect that this method could also be used in military training. It's great!" He was full of praise.

"Hey! Captain, it has to be you!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get my notebook. Please tell me in detail the specific process of this 'Mobile Red Flag'." He said this and went out in a hurry.

"Haha, this Old Xu..." Liu Zhiye pondered in his heart, Xu Shifang is an old political worker, he always has great enthusiasm for how to enhance the team's sense of honor and collectivism.

At 9:30, the bugler blew the lights-out signal.

After Liu Zhiye sent Xu Shifang away, he immersed himself in the world of M Selection. He read the book with full concentration, and was deeply shocked by the immense love and wisdom between the lines.

Speaking of this "M election" movement, it can be traced back to a large-scale mass political movement after the founding of the People's Republic of China at the beginning of this year. For a time, the general public was studying this book, and Liu Zhiye, as a leading cadre, was no exception.

Liu Zhiye sometimes pondered, sometimes smiled, and sometimes nodded, as if he was talking to a wise man. He imagined how those wise words would play a role in practical work and how they would lead his comrades to success.

He feels that "M Selection" is not only a book, but also a spirit, a belief, and a power.

He firmly believes that only through continuous learning can he continuously improve his quality and better adapt to the development of this era.

----

At the morning meeting the next day, Liu Zhiye reviewed in detail what had happened yesterday, made severe criticisms, and had an in-depth discussion with his comrades on the plan to implement a "Mobile Red Flag" competition within the brigade.

He proposed to use this method to motivate everyone's enthusiasm for work and training and enhance the overall strength of the team.

In the following days, the atmosphere in the training brigade became extremely tense and exciting. A fierce "mobile red flag" competition was launched among the squadrons, teams and classes, just like a war without gunpowder.

Everyone was fully committed and did not dare to slack off at all. The flame of competition burned fiercely among them.

This kind of competition not only improves their training results, but also stimulates the potential and fighting spirit of each team member.

Everyone has a dream and hopes to win honor and respect for individuals and the collective through their own efforts.

Especially the Seventh Team, they learned from their mistakes and then became braver. They won the first "Mobile Red Flag" in many aspects, which made people look at them with admiration again.
