At this time, during the training period, the instructors and translators deployed by Stilwell became between the US military instructors and the new regiment of soldiers, and many instructors even became assistants to the Marine instructors.

Before the first day of training, Brigadier William gave a brief speech at the stage:

"I know you have been on the battlefield and you have killed many Japanese on the battlefield, but this does not mean that you will fight! You can do better. During this period, I will try my best to train you into qualified soldiers. I will train you into strict disciplined and well-trained Marines, not only speculators who can only be clever and rely on luck to win! You must know that I cannot guarantee that each of you can come back on the battlefield, but I can guarantee that after training, I can let more people come back alive from the battlefield... This is my purpose! It is also your purpose!"

This is right, but Zhang Chi feels that he is targeting him no matter how he hears it.

And the fellow villagers and several others also heard it because they all remembered that Brigadier General William said that Zhang Chi "is only good at being clever."

This made fellow villagers very angry. They were on fire and wanted to leave the list to find trouble for Brigadier General William, but they were all retreated when Zhang Chi glared at him.

Afterwards, the fellow villager scolded: "Mom! At that time, I wanted to ask the American guy... what is cleverness? He captured Guadalam, commanded the air force to sink the Japanese aircraft carrier, killed Yamamoto Irisus, and took down Labaoer and captured a large number of equipment. This is cleverness? If this is cleverness, you American guy will also make a few clevernesses like this to come out and see!"

"Sorry, Zhang..." Peter obviously knew that Brigadier William had some advice.

"It's not your business!" Zhang Chi said.

"It's really not my business!" Pete replied: "But he is an American, and I feel ashamed of having such a general in our army!"

"This is just a small matter!" Zhang Chi patted Pete's shoulder: "Don't take it to heart! And what Brigadier General William said is also right. More rigorous training will obviously allow more of us to come back alive from the battlefield, which is enough!"

Compared to the indignation of other people, Zhang Chi really doesn't care.

This is because Zhang Chi has confidence in himself. As mentioned before, a rich woman often minds wearing jewelry more, while a poor woman must wear real jewelry because she cannot stand the eyes and discussions of others.

Zhang Chi is obviously the former. He is very clear that what he did is right and his military achievements are real. This is not something that Brigadier William can deny in just a few words.

But Commodore William really has two skills in training.

Originally, Zhang Chi and others thought that what they were going to do was just physical fitness and shooting training, but only after the training was launched, I realized that this was not the case.

In fact, Brigadier William had investigated the training situation of the New First Division before, so he was very clear about the strength of the New First Division.

However, when he knew the strength of the new division, he still shocked Brigadier William.

"Col. You're not bragging!" Brigadier General William said to Colonel Hall, a US military adviser who had been following Wang Mazi, with some disbelief: "You mean... the combat effectiveness of this Chinese team is amazing in street fighting and jungle fighting? And he is also very good at naval artillery and cannon coordination?"

"Of course, general!" Colonel Hall replied.

"Is there any problem with this?" Colonel Hall then asked in confusion: "The combat effectiveness of this army has been confirmed in the victory of Guadalcanal and Rabaul, isn't it?"

"How did they do it?" asked Brigadier General William: "As far as I know, they were just training in Sun Brad Pin for less than two months. How could they have such combat effectiveness in such a short time?!"

"General!" Colonel Hall laughed and said, "If we count based on training time, it is indeed the case. But the general didn't think about it. They fought with the Japanese in the jungle of Myanmar, and they were the most elite Japanese army. In fact, I saw with my own eyes that the Galahad special forces, known as the "raider", collapsed under the attack of the Japanese, and the Japanese were vulnerable under the attack of these Chinese. Their combat effectiveness was not achieved by training, but was exchanged for blood and life..."

"Then colonel!" Brigadier General William asked Colonel Hall: "Who do you think this Chinese force is more powerful than the First Land Division?"

Colonel Hall couldn't help but open his mouth halfway, and after a while he reacted, he said, "General, are you joking? I think Colonel Clifton has a more say in this regard!"

Brigadier General William remembered that the First Land War Regiment had once resisted the Japanese attack with this Chinese team in Guadalam, but the answer was very obvious, because Colonel Hall's expression and tone had already told him that the combat effectiveness of the First Land War Regiment could not be compared with this Chinese army.

However, Brigadier William still didn't believe it. To be precise, Brigadier William was unwilling to believe it. He would rather believe that Colonel Hall had been with the Chinese for a long time, so he put a gild on the face of the Central Team*.

So William sent a telegram to the Land War First Regiment to learn about the combat effectiveness of the New First Division, especially the New First Regiment where Zhang Chi was located.

Clifton, who was still in Guadalam at this time, certainly did not know that Brigadier William wanted to get a negative answer. He thought that this was the necessary understanding of Brigadier William before training the new division, so he called back without thinking: "General, I think in terms of combat, I mean in jungle warfare, defense warfare, etc. We have nothing to teach them. In these aspects, they should be training us. We learned a lot from them in the battle in Guadalam, such as disguise, calmness, and courage!"

This made William speechless.

But Brigadier William couldn't put down his airs, so he began to think about it... If it was really like Colonel Hall and Clifton said, then the training of the New First Division by the teaching team would be like revealing their family shame, so Brigadier William thought of the subjects that the New First Division did not train.

These subjects are swimming, landing operations and airborne.

In fact, these subjects are really the shortcomings of the New First Division, especially the airborne... There are few domestic transport aircraft and they have no ability to conduct airborne training and form airborne troops. On the other hand, airborne is sometimes necessary for island combat in the Pacific Ocean, but this is not in the US training plan for the New First Division.

Therefore, it was actually Brigadier General William's jealousy towards Zhang Chi and his sense of superiority to the Chinese troops that made the New First Division's combat effectiveness leap.
