90 The Strong Are Honored (1)
The "Mediterranean" sent those people to me to let them go to war later, and everyone knows this. Although these dozen or so people have been on the battlefield www.biquge.info, they are not familiar with each other, and they must go through several trainings to complete the run-in and form a fighting group. So while I was still arranging things for the base, Garland put his training plan on the agenda.
According to my idea, let Wild Boar and Big Eye lead the team to the "Green Castle" to train first, and then go over to train with them for a few days when everything is arranged. After hearing me say this idea, Lieutenant Colonel Garland smiled meaningfully: "Kid, it seems that you don't know how to be a leader yet." Pay attention to the leader, not the officer. ”
I was a little puzzled: "Aren't officers just leaders?" ”
The boar also laughed, "You did confuse these two things. Let's put it simply, let's say there is an old sergeant in a platoon, and everyone admits that he has shown ability and courage on the battlefield, and no one thinks that they are superior to him. When one day the superiors sent a rookie platoon commander who had just graduated from the military academy to this platoon, who do you think those who would be soldiers would regard as their leader? ”
Garland went on to say: "This is a mercenary army, not a real army. While everyone has their last resort, don't expect any military discipline to bind them. In this case, they will not endorse the commander assigned to them, but only those they themselves approve. What kind of people can be recognized by them? You have to be better than them, and you have to be able to gain their trust. I think the boar can do both, but he thinks you could do better. ”
"If a commander can't trust his men, many people will die on the battlefield," said the boar. This training session is an opportunity to come ahead and show your strongest side. Get them to recognize your leadership, that's what you have to do. ”
Well, they have a point. I can only put other things aside for now, after all, those things can be done later, and if I die on the battlefield, I don't have to do anything.
On the night of November 12th, the two dozen or so people scheduled to go to Green Fort Base gathered in the conference room of Base 1, including the newly arrived machine gunner David. Lieutenant Colonel Garland made it clear that each person's code name was made easy to call in combat while the roll call was made. I was surprised that Captain Bogard was also going to the Green Castle and asked the lieutenant colonel: "Isn't Bogard an ordnance technician?" He's going to Green Fort too? ”
Bogard preemptively said: "Hehe! I'm a skilled person, but I'm more efficient at killing people than you guys with guns. You can wait to go to the Green Castle and see my toys! ”
I'm really looking forward to that.
After the lieutenant colonel finished the roll call, the wild boar announced the training plan. The main purpose is to carry out group combat coordination training and adaptability training, so that everyone can enhance their understanding during the training.
After the boar had finished speaking, the lieutenant colonel said, "All right, let the crow say a few words." You must have been instructed to follow the crow's orders, right? ”
Now everyone looked at me. But it was evident that several people were visibly unconvinced, especially the big machine gunner nicknamed "Tatar".
Looks like I'm going to have to put on a good show. Leaders aren't so easy to be.
I cleared my throat and began my first speech: "Brothers! To my brothers, allow me to use that title. No matter what happened in the past, but in the future, if we want to fight our way back to see our families alive on the battlefield, we must trust and rely on each other like brothers. We will form a strong collective that will not abandon any of its members. But every member must be recognized by this collective. Please take this opportunity well and let this collective recognize you and accept you. ”
"Good!" A crisp cheer. It was Nicol who led the applause. Wild Boar and Lieutenant Colonel Garland also applauded.
But as soon as the applause stopped, the "Tatars" stood up and asked: "Can we elect the commander ourselves?" We trust experienced people more. ”
This request is very legitimate, as long as people with normal brains dare to refute it? I immediately laughed and said, "Of course. At the end of this training, we always have a clear commander. ”
Hayer looked at the "Tatars" whose shoulders were wider than he and shouted, "Do you want to fight the ravens alone?" ”
Garland and the boar laughed, clearly saying, "How's that?" Am I right? ”
After returning to the room, Nicol waved his fist at me, "You have to show them a hand!" Make their jaws drop. ”
I jokingly said, "So I'm going to recharge my batteries tonight?" ”
Nicol immediately pounced on me: "No! It's been a long time! ”
But when she was holding me and being coquettish, she made another request: "By the way, transfer me $10,000." It's going to be wind and sun again, and I want to buy more skin care products. ”
I was speechless to this money-savvy girl: "Honey, you seem to have just arrived in the account for hundreds of thousands of dollars?" ”
Nicol said, "I gave my mother the money." Now I'm a pauper. ”
I asked, "Is your mom still in Texas?" ”
Nicol immediately diverted the conversation: "Yes, and my sister." Well, don't talk about them. ”
It's remarkable that such a large group of people are moving together, and we have to bring some necessary weapons and equipment. I don't know where Garland got a batch of military uniforms for us to wear, and then drove a couple of cars sprayed with U.S. Army logos from the modified car workshop to load our things. I saw that Bogard paid special attention to a few boxes, and personally directed the loading of the truck, so I asked him what the boxes contained.
"I did it with Gavin and Malone. You'll be blown away when the time comes. He said confidently.
Everything was ready, and the convoy drove out of the city of Lavona in a very stylish manner, and arrived at the Green Fort tactical training base in the mountains at noon. From the outside, this training base is bleak, full of dead grass, and there is no one to take care of it. The convoy ran along the barbed wire fence for half an hour to reach the gate, and we didn't see a single pant.
Because Garand stayed at the base, this time it was the wild boar who came forward to negotiate. He handed a few papers to an energetic sentry at the door, and the sentry with the rank of sergeant shouted happily without looking at them: "Great! Someone finally came. I'm going to go crazy if no one comes. ”
The boar asked, "Where is your second lieutenant?" ”
The sergeant grinned and said, "Ensign? Oh. He went to the command. It's been a long time since we've paid a subsidy. Look how desolate it is, with only hare to be seen, and I can only pass the time by watching. That's why they don't pay subsidies? If it goes on like this, I'll stop doing it! ”
Although none of us wore military ranks, it was clear that the sergeant was not afraid that his remarks would be heard by the officers. After the boar said that we were not going to disturb his life, but had come to train, the sergeant called a sergeant who was clearly on drugs and was not fully conscious to arrange accommodation for us.
After I threw the sergeant a bottle of whiskey, he happily pointed to the sergeant and said, "As long as you don't disturb him, it's up to you." Now there are only a dozen people here, and the accommodation is very relaxed. You can live in dormitory building 2, which is closer to us and has better conditions. ”
It's really a good place to train the troops, so you can toss it casually below.
