Chapter Sixty-Seven: Killing Stick

Milia wore a head full of white sweat and accompanied Pang Jindong out of the new barracks. Pang Jindong's face was always gloomy, and Milia was terrified.

Recalling the scene just now, Pang Jindong could only use Isabel's signature adjective, dog mongrel, to evaluate these recruits. Pang Jindong felt very puzzling that Nick had sent such a bunch of dog mongrels here after careful selection, whether this was dismantling the stage for himself, or whether he had drunk too much Sanlu milk powder.

But as he walked, Pang Jindong's face suddenly softened, and there was a slight smile on his face, but at the same time, he let out a long sigh.

Sanlu milk powder cannot enter the market of country M, so Nick can't drink it. Pang Jindong suddenly realized that he naturally did this for a reason and for his bitterness.

Pang Jindong originally hoped to be able to recruit a large number of retired soldiers from country M, especially the special forces, even if the number is small, at least they can play a seed role and train them to become future officers. However, most of these talents will stay within the military for development, or be hired as security consultants for government departments and enterprises with high salaries, and some can even go to Hollywood to become technical directors of war-themed films. Either option, the future is bright, and Pang Jindong's salary is not very high, and the job is full of dangers, so they are not willing to join the Blood Lion Legion, a little-known security company.

This means that Nick simply can't recruit people who are excellent in every way, including character and skill. In desperation, he had to settle for the next best thing, choosing those who had excellent skills, but were swept away by the army because of various problems.

As for the recruitment of ordinary soldiers, there is also not much choice, as long as the basic elements are passable, such as physical fitness and IQ enough to become a good soldier, Nick is included in it, so there is the current situation.

At least half of these people have had a military career, some have been forced to retire because they have made small mistakes, some have deserted because they are unwilling to fight but have lost their reputation and have not been able to gain a foothold in society, and some have even made big mistakes and have just been released from military prison...... There were strong women who were stationed in Japan, there were those who sold arms without permission, there were those who beat up superior officers, and there were those who opened fire on their own people on the battlefield with a personal vendetta......

Those who have not been in the military are no better, there are bank robbers who have been released from prison, there are drug addicts who have just rehabilitated, there are ruffians who have reformed their ways, and others who have been ostracized by mainstream society for various reasons, and there are people who are confused by the real society, or who are spiritually empty and cannot find a goal.

These people all have one thing in common, and it is also the advantage that Pang Jindong needs, that is, they are not afraid of death, but some of them also come to eat together.

These days, under Miria's discipline, these people have reined in, and there were a few womanizers who wanted to beat Milia's idea, and now they are lying in the tent covering their little brother and moaning in pain. In fact, after Miria fully demonstrated her abilities, she, a sexy but heroic girl, is now the most feared person by these dog mongrels.

Miria took a few deep breaths and plucked up the courage to ask, "Are you going to start training them yourself tomorrow......"

Pang Jindong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "How do you think these dog mongrels should be transformed?"

Miria looked embarrassed: "If you have to let me say it...... I can only treat them like normal soldiers, only it will take longer than normal soldiers. ”

Pang Jindong slowly shook his head: "Not enough!"

As soon as Miria heard this, she knew that Pang Jindong already had a plan: "What are you going to do?"

Pang Jindong did not answer positively, but thoughtfully analyzed: "From ancient times to the present, the army of any nation or country, which is strong enough, has two indispensable spiritual pillars, one is nationalism and patriotism, and the other is steel-like discipline, which is especially obvious in the modern army. But in many cases, one of these two pillars may be replaced by the other, such as a strong desire for wealth that may replace discipline, which equally inspires great fighting power. But such armies often fail to sustain their fighting power for long, as in the case of the vast empire built by the Mongol cavalry that once swept across Europe and Asia, which collapsed after a few decades. ”

Milia doesn't think about Pang Jindong much, and she doesn't think about it that long-term, so from the perspective of a mercenary, she doesn't agree with Pang Jindong's point of view: "We don't have any discipline, and we also dominate the South American jungle!"

After being a comrade-in-arms for so many years, Miria's simple mind has not changed at all, Pang Jindong shook his head with a smile, looking a little helpless: "Miria, when there are a few of us or a dozen of us, we can not emphasize discipline, but when we have hundreds, or even thousands, we must change our style! Otherwise, what can we rely on to ensure that orders can be accurately implemented, morale can be maintained, and we can cooperate well with each other?"

"In South America, although we only have a dozen or two dozen people, there are hundreds of other mercenaries, and there are even more rebels.

"Does the government army of that projectile country have a place among the powerful armies in the world?"

Miria shrugged her shoulders and admitted with emotion: "They are not even as good as the reserve forces of a military power!"

"Isn't that a pretty obvious example?"

When Pang Jindong later talked to Liao Chenghao about this issue, the latter deeply agreed with this view, and also cited the army of country M as an example, holding that the army of country M must use high-tech weapons to make up for this defect because of its weak military discipline.

In fact, this is a specious point of view, Pang Jindong and Miria and others have dealt with the army of country M more, so they know more about it. And Liao Chenghao has never been in contact with any foreign army, so he can only make some intuitive judgments based on film and television works and news reports.

In the eyes of the Chinese people, the military discipline of the army of country M is lax, but in fact, it is because its concept of governing the army is different from that of China. At home, every soldier is required to be a living Lei Feng, while country M treats soldiers as ordinary people, so it does not restrict or stifle the due needs and emotions of ordinary people. Moreover, the military of country M believes that the duty of soldiers is to fight wars, so they only conduct training that is directly related to operations. For example, the domestic military personnel cut the bedding into tofu blocks, etc., the army of country M thought it was boring, and there was very little training in queues and the like.

On the other hand, however, the military of country M has extremely strict requirements for the behavior of soldiers in all aspects during combat, and some behaviors that are considered trivial by the domestic military may lead to imprisonment in country M. In addition, the large number of advanced weapons and comprehensive informationization have always led the world in modern military theory, and the combat effectiveness of the armed forces of country M is indeed world-class.

The two methods of governing the army have their own strengths, and the task that Pang Jindong set for himself is how to combine the two. However, Pang Jindong did not have an in-depth understanding and sensory understanding of the current situation and actual situation of the domestic army, so Pang Jindong was eager to recruit some talents in this area from China.

Miria asked, "But we are mercenaries after all, and we may be employed by any government, and our people come from many places. What are you going to replace with what you call two spiritual pillars, and in which we lack nationalism and patriotism?"

"Cultivate steel discipline for them first......" Pang Jindong had no answer to this question for a while, so he had to tell SΓΉ Miria: "As for what to replace the other, I need to think about it!"

Although Miria still didn't understand very well, she was used to obeying Pang Jindong's orders and arrangements: "What are you going to do?"

"Hit three hundred kills first!"

"What?" Miria heard for the first time.

Pang Jindong did not answer, but asked: "How many of our people are here now?"

"There are seven people including me, and the rest of them, except for Nick, who is in charge of recruitment, are all protecting the safety of Director Anderson!"

"Seven people... Just right, you are my deputy, and each of the three companies has a chief and deputy company commander. After a pause, Pang Jindong ordered: "Also, choose some of these dog mongrels with a relatively innocent background, who are obedient and disciplined, and form a law enforcement team!"

"I'll go now!"

The appearance of Pang Jindong made these recruits a little uneasy, and they spent all night thinking about how Pang Jindong would deal with themselves, and some even came up with some ways to make things difficult for Pang Jindong.

However, to the surprise of these people, the next morning, they were still training in the queue as usual. Milia had a cold face and didn't say anything special, but Pang Jindong was gone.

Some of them noticed that some of them were taken away in the morning and did not attend the day's training.

In the evening, three bonfires were lit in the middle of the playground, each with a fat sheep roasted on it. With the blazing firelight, the fat sheep gradually turned golden yellow, and the grease on it continued to fall, falling on the burning pyre, making a "hissing" sound.

Seeing this scene in front of them, the recruits immediately let out an excited shout.

The nymphomaniac, who belonged to the 1st Company, smiled and said to his company commander, "It seems that our boss is still very good!"

The company commander already knew Pang Jindong's arrangement, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

The soon began, and every recruit treated it like a regular BBQ, cutting off a large piece of meat with a knife and starting to feast on it, then complaining about the lack of alcohol.

Suddenly, a piercing and strange sound sounded, and the recruits looked strangely in the direction where the sound came from, and found that Pang Jindong was holding a strange thing in his hand, and was standing in the shadows looking at them coldly.

The recruits didn't know that it was a military horn only in the Chinese army, and Pang Jindong saw that he had attracted everyone's attention, and shouted: "The first company will gather immediately!"

The recruits were stunned by the sudden change and it took a long time for them to react. At the urging of the company commander, the first company was reluctantly and slowly assembled in the gloating of the second and third companies.

Pang Jindong walked to the front of the first company, looked at these recruits who were standing inside and out, and shook his head. This is the worst queue Pang Jindong has seen in his life, shaped like an undulating wave.

"It took you a full seventeen minutes to assemble!" Pang Jindong looked at his watch and said sharply: "The time to meet the requirements is only three minutes at most, and you yourself calculate how many times worse!"

No one spoke, and Pang Jindong began to reprimand the company commander of the first company: "A unit has made a mistake, and the commander cannot escape the blame!"

"Sir, yes, sir!" replied the commander of the first company.

"Law enforcement team!" With Pang Jindong's shout, three recruits ran over, and the difference between them and their companions was that they wore an armband on their arms - "Law Enforcement Team".

Pang Jindong coldly told the law enforcement team: "Twenty military sticks!"

Before Pang Jindong's words landed, three law enforcement team members pounced on the first company commander like wolves, two grabbed their arms and pressed the company commander to the ground, and the other pulled out a stick from his waist and began to hit the company commander's buttocks.

Just hit three sticks, but Pang Jindong shouted to stop: "The company commander didn't report the number, start again!"

Where have those recruits seen such a scene, let alone that today's army still has corporal punishment, let alone mercenaries, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

The officers were unlucky, and under normal circumstances, they would gloat, but in the face of Pang Jindong's "inhuman" approach, which they considered "inhuman", they began to have some sympathy for the commander of the first company. At the thought that the company commander was punished because of himself, some of the people in the first company still felt some guilt in their hearts.

Corporal punishment soon resumed, and the sticks of the law enforcement officers fell on the buttocks of the first company commander one after another, making a "tongtong" sound. At the same time, the hapless company commander had to count how many hits he had received.

Soon, beads of sweat oozed from the face of the first company commander, and began to flow down his cheeks, dripping from his chin to the ground, and he actually wet a large piece of the ground under him.

Looking at the commander of the first company, Pang Jindong felt sad, but he never showed the slightest, just looked at it coldly.

This company commander is younger than Pang Jindong, four years ago, as a recruit, he was introduced to the Blood Lion Mercenary Group by an intermediary, and it was Pang Jindong who brought him out and trained him to become an excellent soldier. Over the years, he has thrown himself into the five bodies that Pang Jindong admires, and at the same time he has a lot of trust.

Last night, Pang Jindong convened a meeting of all the members of the Blood Lion Mercenary Group, at which he proposed to use this bitter meat plan. Pang Jindong was worried that the commander of the first company would object, but he didn't expect him to agree very happily.
