Chapter 56: Baptism

An unprecedented, splendid and spectacular modern artillery tactical exercise made all the generals on the rostrum enthusiastic: it turns out that the battle can still be fought like this! What kind of weapons are these, so powerful!

"Mingjin retreats!" Xiao Yao waved the white order flag to represent the end, and at the same time rang the bronze bell to gather the troops!

The fighters of the Fire Dragon Battalion, led by the captains of each team, checked their weapons, counted the personnel, quickly and orderly withdrew from the "position", and returned to the front of the stage to line up and assemble!

"Tell the general, the Fire Dragon Battalion's 'Breaking the Enemy' training exercise has ended! Now, the Fire Dragon Battalion and the General Paper Mill under the General Merchant Bank will demonstrate to the generals the defensive performance of paper armor! ”

At this time, I saw Zu Yuan come out of nowhere, and saluted everyone with a smile on his face: "General Merchant Zu Yuan has seen all the generals!" ”

Before, Zu Yuan followed Chen Shuling to send congratulatory gifts to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and most of the generals on this stage had seen him, and they also accepted the fireworks and firecrackers he sent, so he did not blame him, as a businessman, for appearing in this top-secret military exercise.

And Xiao Yao mentioned the general paper workshop just now, and everyone instantly understood that these paper armors were produced by him!

Zu Yuan motioned to one of the attendants beside him, and the attendant shouted at the top of his voice: "Archers prepare!" ”

I saw 50 archers, carrying big bows with horns on their backs, and quivers full of sharp arrows at their waists, divided into two teams, and quickly ran to two protruding small dirt slopes, the small dirt slopes were less than 20 meters apart, and there was a path in the middle, and the archers lined up on the dirt slopes on both sides, ready to shoot at the passage!

Seeing that the archers were already in place, Xiao Yao waved the yellow order flag and shouted, "Fire Dragon Battalion, prepare to pass through the arrow array!" ”

I saw the soldiers of the Fire Dragon Battalion, unsheath their weapons, pull off the masks on their helmets, arrange their armor, and let their whole bodies be covered with paper armor, and with Xiao Yao's order, 100 soldiers walked towards the middle path with neat steps!

Whoosh! The 50 archers on both sides of the tunnel bent their bows and fired at the soldiers who passed in the middle!

Sharp arrows rained down on the soldiers' paper armor, some of which were bounced off and fell to the ground, while others had already pierced into the paper armor! But the warriors still stepped through the arrows neatly, without panic or timidity!

This is Xiao Yao's last test for the Fire Dragon Battalion: to be a soldier, you must be aware of death! In the face of a barrage of arrows, the next arrow may pierce the paper armor and kill yourself, but you still have to be calm and overcome the fear of death!

The 50 archers had shot more than a thousand arrows, and the warriors had all passed through the path, and returned to the rostrum, but their bodies were already full of sharp arrows, like hedgehogs, but they still stood still.

"Fire Dragon Battalion, unarmour!" Xiao Yao shouted at the soldiers who had relined themselves.

The soldiers quickly took off their paper armor, almost all of them were stabbed by the arrows that shot through the paper armor, and they were still bleeding, but the wound was not deep, it was a skin trauma, only a few were a little unlucky, the paper armor was shot through, and the whole arrow did not enter the flesh, but they still did not say a word, and when they removed the armor, they pulled out the arrows without changing their faces!

Xiao Yao was very satisfied with the performance of the Fire Dragon Battalion, after all, the power of the bow and arrow was not simple, shooting at such a close range, none of them dodged, none of them retreated, and after bleeding and being injured, they could endure the pain and keep standing, and they were really a group of tough guys!

Xiao Yao stood on the stage, stood upright, raised his right hand and gave the soldiers a standard military salute, and the soldiers in the audience immediately returned the same military salute! Of course, this modern military salute can only be an exclusive gesture of the Fire Dragon Battalion at the moment!

Xiao Yao shouted: "The fire dragon battalion training exercise has been successfully completed!" You have all passed the test, and after the baptism of arrows, you are all the strongest warriors! You will overcome all difficulties and destroy all enemies! There is no faith! ”

"Yes!" The neat shouts of 100 warriors echoed throughout the heavens and the earth!

"Okay, the Fire Dragon Battalion retreats! Return to the barracks to heal! ”

。。。。。。

The soldiers picked up their equipment, turned around and retreated, and exited in an orderly manner, without even looking at the high-ranking military officers on the stage, as if there was only Xiao Yao in front of them, but they really only had Xiao Yao in their eyes, because they were Xiao Yao's private soldiers, and they did not belong to the establishment of Chen Guo's army, and they would not obey other people's orders at all!

"Tell the generals, all the exercises of the Fire Dragon Battalion are over! Already back to the barracks! Xiao Yao saluted and said to the group of generals who were still in shock, believing that they must be amazed by their performance today!

All the generals clapped their hands and nodded in unison, expressing that they were very satisfied with this exercise, and they were also extremely amazed by Xiao Yao's training ability and command ability!

"It's amazing! Shiro, I can't imagine that you can train such a strong and obedient team in less than a month! I am ashamed of my father! Xiao Moke was the first to exclaim.

"Haha, Xiao Shilang really lives up to his reputation, the Fire Dragon Battalion now has only 100 people, but it shows such a strong combat effectiveness, if we have 100 Fire Dragon Battalions, why not be afraid of Zhou and Qi!" Wu Mingche was so excited that he clapped his hands.

Seeing that they were all so excited, Xiao Yao didn't want to splash them with cold water: 100 fire dragon camps? Later, I'll calculate with you how much money this exercise cost me, and then see if you dare to say another 100!

At this time, Zu Yuan had already ordered someone to move the paper armor that the soldiers took off to the front of the stage, and the fire dragon battalion passed Xiao Yao's test, Xiao Yao passed the test of the high-level officials, and the paper armor also passed the test of this group of generals!

Looking at these paper armor that are full of sharp arrows and have been scrapped, everyone is not distressed at all, to put it bluntly, it is actually just a pile of waste paper! But the 100 warriors were only slightly injured, which shows that the defensive performance of this paper armor is comparable to that of iron armor!

Zu Yuan introduced the details of these paper armors to these bigwigs in detail, which is to pass two words: cheap! Although the service life of paper armor is short, it is basically a disposable, but the low price can make all soldiers wear, and improving defense ability is equivalent to improving the survival rate of soldiers on the battlefield!

"Boss Zu, you kind of paper armor, first give us 10,000 sets of the West Route Army!" Huang Faqu, the general of Zhengxi with a straightforward personality, said first.

He knew that the group of old foxes in front of him were coveting this kind of paper armor, if according to the process, the weapons and armor belonged to the military equipment and belonged to the unified management of the Ministry of War, but how to distribute the various military camps, who used it first, and who took more, it depends on the private relationship with the Ministry of War!

And this paper armor is a new product of the general paper mill, the output will definitely not be high, if the hand is slow, then I don't know what year and month it will be my turn!

"Why is General Huang in such a hurry, the ancestor boss hasn't said the price of paper armor yet. Boss Zu, no matter what the price, we also want 10,000 sets for the East Route Army! Xu Jingcheng, the governor of the Eastern Route Army, interjected.

"General Huang, General Xu, it's useless to say how many sets you say here, these paper armors belong to military equipment, and they should be handed over to the Ministry of War for unified purchase and then distributed." Another general joined the debate.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, if it's handed over to the Ministry of War, when will it be our turn to be the Western Route Army!"

。。。。。。

Seeing that this group of army bigwigs were blushing one by one, Xiao Yao and Zu Yuan secretly rejoiced: they are all vying for it, it seems that these paper armors will definitely be included in the military standard equipment, and when the Northern Expedition recruits tens of thousands of troops, how many sets of paper armor must be ordered, and how much money can be made!
