Vasily's eyes widened, but before he could speak, someone nearby started to mock, "Vasily, give us one!"
Wang Zhong was all too familiar with this; he hadn't joined the army, but he had gone through military training during junior high, senior high, and university.
During military training, it was common for the instructor to lead a jeer, followed by a song, subtly fostering a sense of collective honor and competitive spirit.
Now, seeing someone taking the lead, Wang Zhong immediately joined in the jeering, "Vasily, give us one!"
His encouragement quickly caught on among those nearby who understood what was happening, and they joined in jeering at Vasily. Initially, the jeers were disorganized, but after Wang Zhong took the lead a few times and added clapping, the shouts gradually became more coordinated.
"Vasily, give us one!"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
