Lu Jiang sighed, "Criticisms, punishments, self-reflection, public confession, these are the standard procedures. The military has no room for such perverse influence. Four soldiers were implicated and all were transferred to areas even harsher than this one. The Art troupe performers implicated can no longer take the stage. Involvement in such a scandal, the physical punishment is not as important as the blow to their reputation. They're avoided by everyone as if they've contracted a contagious disease, the emotional toll can be far heavier than the physical discomfort."
Feng Qingxue remained silent.
This place is already one of the harshest, areas more severe than this are rare, implying those soldiers weren't expelled from the military.
The women from the art troupes likely experienced the same as Fang Ning, unable to go on stage, but doing odd jobs within the group.
