Chapter 385: Picking the Front
Chen Zhongxin did have some problems with this military purchase.
Of course, Chen Lin would not point it out.
Liang Zhi couldn't help but ask Chen Lin, it was unreasonable to spend a huge sum of 300,000 yuan to buy armor.
But I can't bear to spend 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver to buy a monkey version of the compound bow, right?
Chen Lin's words left Liang Zhi speechless.
"We resold them to more than 20,000 Liao army standard cavalry bows and archers twice."
"Are these excellent weapons piled up in the warehouse to get moldy?"
How can the Eastern Route Army and Shen Family Ji private soldiers compare with the Iron Army?
We don't even see the monkey version of the military.
Different people use it as a treasure?
Three days of brewing.
The entire army knew that it was about selecting powerful troops to form a sharp knife.
The enthusiasm of the soldiers far exceeded the expectations of several commanders.
Not only the Detachment of Women are unwilling to fall behind.
Even the Chen Liang's troops of the navy who were carrying out patrol missions.
The three thousand new recruits who were training were also excited.
Then let’s have an audition!
Each department of the households selects five people, and new recruits are no exception.
Integrate 500 people and train for one month in a unified training session.
The last five were selected, and the remaining one hundred were selected.
Regardless of gender!
The auditions start from three aspects.
Endurance, long-distance running without loads for 100 miles.
Courage, set up points deep in the weed beach, test them in batches, and the first one to arrive was selected.
There is never a shortage of people with high strength in the Iron Army, and this one can only be ranked last.
The endurance and force tests are all based on hard work, but the selection is calm.
The courage level caused the officers and soldiers to suffer great consequences.
The Intelligence Department seized a terrain map of the wild grass beach.
They have been making arrangements these three days.
Set up a meeting point fifty miles deep in advance.
Then it is divided into five routes, and a small, less eye-catching flag will be inserted as a road sign along the way.
This test lasted ten days in total.
One thousand officers and soldiers are sent in every day.
There are only two Ministry of Households on one route.
Each person can only bring three things.
A long rope prevents teammates from falling into the swamp.
A dagger is barely considered a self-defense weapon.
A kettle, a pound of clean and cold boiled water.
What food? Don't even think about it.
If you can find something to eat, solve it yourself.
If you don’t want to eat wild vegetables, animals, insects, etc., then you will be hungry.
Anyway, the test time is only one day, so people can't starve to death.
But if you don’t have enough physical strength, you will definitely be eliminated.
All the Ministry of Households need to draw lots in advance.
The first ones who entered will definitely take advantage.
Most of the ones behind can't even dig wild vegetables.
If you go farther and look for it, it will definitely take time and you will be eliminated.
This is actually early outdoor survival training.
Chen Lin deliberately forced everyone to eat grasshoppers, frogs and so on.
Who said that the main combat troops will not encounter any situation where logistics cannot keep up in the future?
Whether it is an officer or a soldier, learn to find food by yourself first.
Of course, it is impossible for almost all officers of the hundred-class level to be selected into the Sharp Knife Force.
Chen Lin still needs them to lead his troops.
But this time the courage assessment of the wild grass beach.
Both officers and soldiers must participate, and Chen Wuxia's new wife recruits are no exception.
Who dares to have any comments?
Of course, the intelligence department and logistics department are also well prepared.
They will set up some custody along the way to avoid accidents.
Ten days later, the last group of officers and soldiers, covered in mud and exhausted, walked out of the weed beach.
Liang Zizhong sighed.
"Sir, your method is comparable to actual combat training!"
"I think these little guys have changed a lot."
White Snake smiled with a smile on his lips.
"That's certain."
"I've been used to having a good life and suddenly fell from heaven to area."
"You can wake up even if you fight!"
"My husband, this kind of courage training will be held from time to time in the future."
Chen Lin had this plan long ago.
It is said that the weed beach is a size of millions of acres.
But no one has measured it accurately.
Chen Lin went south along the Lushui River and reached the southernmost point of the Wilderness Beach.
He estimated that the north-south depth of the wild grass beach was nearly 200 kilometers.
There is an average width of seven or eight kilometers.
The area near Tiecheng to the north is about three or four kilometers.
The further south you go, the wider you will be, and the widest place will be out of bounds.
Therefore, the area of this broken place is definitely no less than two million mu.
Now there is a rough roadmap in hand.
Let the intelligence department organizers investigate in detail.
What a good outdoor survival training ground?
Chen Lin's smile made the officers around him feel cold on their backs.
"Once once a month, this is a regular example!"
"Each time, at least one thousand people from the Ministry of Housing will participate."
"Turn across the entire weed beach."
"Of course, very little ration is allowed."
The word "very rare" was emphasized by Chen Lin.
Obviously, the food is definitely not enough to fill the stomach.
Crossing!
It's all about walking, it takes seven or eight days, right?
The army is a whole, and not everyone is a good kung fu player.
If you have good physical strength, you have to take care of weaker and poorer comrades.
Some people who have diseases may have to carry them away.
After going deep into the weed beach, the rescue outside cannot be reached!
Five hundred officers and soldiers who passed the primary election were taken to the Dew Water Valley.
There have been five or six thousand military and civilians here for more than ten days.
The winding mountain road, which is seven or eight miles long, is handed over to laborers to build.
Construction has started vigorously.
However, this valley that lasts a hundred miles long can only be built by Tiecheng.
In the future, this place will become a combination of farms and military ranches.
Of course, it is also the training base of the Sharp Knife Force.
Thousands of people were working together, and the dirt road on the west bank of the stream had already extended to the depths of the valley.
Riding a horse and running is not a problem at all.
Chen Lin led thousands of iron cavalry and these sharp sword reserves to camp at the deepest point.
He stood on the simple training ground and whispered loudly.
“The conditions are very simple!”
"But it can best temper our will."
"The rules are very simple. From here to Gukou Supply Camp, it is exactly one hundred miles."
"Every morning, you must run over with full arms."
"Tonight, run back with full arms!"
"In the future, the individual military equipment of the Sharp Knife will be only fifty kilograms."
"You will be ghost killers on the battlefield behind enemy lines."
"I don't care about how many enemies I have destroyed."
"But if a team of twelve people goes out, the battle will be damaged by 30%.
"Even if the mission fails!"
"boom!"
The five hundred reserves below were in an uproar.
Even the cavalry guarded around were shocked.
God, this is too harsh.
No wonder, the official members who joined the Sharp Knife Army were at least a small flag officer!
Do you have to travel two hundred miles a day?
Added amount again?
Don't you have to exhaust yourself to death?
Chen Lin began to introduce the weapons on the table.
"Chain mail combined with cloth bag armor is collectively called anti-spike armor."
"The defense is no lower than our standard stepman armor."
"And, it's more flexible to wear and weighs only twenty-five pounds."
Forty steps to refine human armor, it will be more than fifteen pounds.
The sharp knife troops attack, not every time there is a war horse for transportation.
Everyone understands that the lighter the armor, the more energy it saves.
A volunteer soldier stepped forward and put on his clothes.
The appearance of the anti-spike armor is a bit ugly.
When he put on his coat, he jumped and punched.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Good thing!
